Chapter 605 The road of Ishruna’s return to the church in the painted world
After a series of "tortures" from Sakura, Gale began to tremble when facing Sakura. He flapped the pages of the book he had just repaired and hid tremblingly aside.
——Weak, pitiful and helpless.
(＞人＜;)
"There are still many mysteries."
Olga Marie sighed softly and couldn't help but stretched out her fingers to twist her long hair in boredom.
The biggest problem now is the lack of information, and not only is it insufficient, some of the known information is even completely contradictory, which makes their judgment very confusing.
But there is no point in continuing to think about these things. There is a long way to go to collect information.
The next day, according to the itinerary, Sakura and Aya should have returned to the church, and of course they took Gray and Olga Marie with them.
In any case, as long as their identities as fire bearers are not exposed, they will be safe in the church, and they also want to meet Sister Gullwig and get more information from her.
The road back to the church is the pilgrimage road first opened by believers. However, this road has been gradually abandoned after the first fire was extinguished. Nowadays, no devout believers set foot on this pilgrimage road.
.
Gray and his group were riding in a vehicle similar to a carriage, but the carriage was not pulled by horses, but by large monsters tamed by the church.
They are about three meters tall and covered with thick and tough fur. They can not only withstand wind, snow and cold winter, but also have extremely strong defense capabilities. The minions of ordinary monsters cannot even think of hurting these big guys.
【Pilgrimage Road...】
Gray recited this name in his heart. From both sides of the road, he could often see some strange beings similar to stone sculptures. They knelt down toward the north, their heads lowered to the ground, and their bodies underwent various mutations.
But the only thing that remains unchanged is the pious expression on the faces of those stone sculptures.
"I read in ancient books that these devout pilgrims will be blessed by the First Fire."
Sakura seemed to see the doubts in Gray's heart, and said with a smile.
"Blessing?"
Gray felt something familiar. She remembered that on the first night, she and Olga Marie also relied on blessings. That blessing had many magical functions.
However, these pilgrims have extremely strange shapes, as if they have absorbed parts of all living things into their bodies. Although they still have roughly humanoid shapes, in general many of them are still a mixture similar to Chimeras.
monster.
"The first life in the world of Ishruna was born in the furnace of life, in chaos. The first creatures were hybrids, and they were not as clearly divided as they are now."
"In other words, the first organisms were a hodgepodge, and these pilgrims were atavistic."
"oh……"
Gray nodded. If she said this, she would understand.
"The more complex and diverse the mixed biological traits are, the more it proves that these believers..."
boom--
Suddenly, Sakura's words were interrupted by a loud noise coming from outside. She raised her slender brows and then opened the window.
"what happened?"
"Report to Sister Sakura."
A church knight who was protecting them walked over. Although his sharp-edged face had not changed much, he could still feel the dignity and seriousness in his eyes.
"We encountered harassment from the ghosts of the Gulag, but the danger has been eliminated."
"Exclude one?"
"only one."
"Then order everyone to be prepared to meet the enemy. The ghosts of Gurangel appear in groups."
Sakura waved her hand lazily and gave the order to prepare for battle.
These church knights are obviously novice knights. Although they are not lacking in combat skills, the experience they possess cannot be achieved quickly and can only be accumulated little by little.
Knight Commander Kevin watched everything that happened silently, and would not take action unless necessary, in order to ensure that these new knights could receive sufficient experience.
Therefore, he knew that the ghosts of Gurangel appeared in groups, and he did not warn them because of this.
Soon more Guranger ghosts appeared in their field of vision, but although they were all in groups, they basically still acted as fighting units in life.
Through the window, Gray and Olga Marie also saw what the ghost of Grangel looked like.
The knights of the church have gone through long-term training. Each of them wears plate armor with tight defense, uses heavy weapons such as war hammers or flails in their hands, and also has a solid shield that is nearly the height of a person.
But compared with the ghosts of Gurangel, the church knights who average two meters appear to be one size smaller. These ghosts of Gurangel are almost all three meters in size. Their huge and burly bodies are like a hill, and their heavy armor is like a mountain.
It looks like it is no defense that can be easily broken through.
Holding a shield in one hand and a warhammer in the other, they hurriedly broke into the trap set by the church knights.
"these things……"
Greedy frowned slightly. These Gurangel ghosts exuded the aura of death. They should have fallen asleep long ago, but they were still walking on the earth. This was also the thing she hated the most.
"These things, they are the ghosts of Gurangel. They were once the elite knights of the Gurangel dynasty, but now they have become like this."
As for the so-called Gurangle Dynasty, Gray, who had mastered the basic knowledge of the world of Ishruna, also knew about its existence. It was the last dynasty in the world of Ishruna and was destroyed when the First Fire was extinguished.
These ghosts of Gulangel are the souls of former knights, still wandering the earth with unwilling resentment, guarding the dynasty that has long been destroyed.
Although the knights of the church are well-trained, their all-round quality is far inferior to that of the ghosts of Grangel, so it was not easy to trap them.
Roar--
Suddenly, a Gulangel ghost let out a deafening war cry, and its already huge body swelled even more. Even the heavy armor made a sharp and harsh sound and was almost broken by the swelling.
It roared, directly broke through the knights' defense line, and headed straight for the carriage.
Sensing the ominous aura of the approaching express delivery, the men pulling the carts snorted, scratched the ground with their claws uneasily, and finally lowered their heads and pointed their sharp horns at the ghost of Gurangel.
These cart-pulling monsters have only been tamed by the church, but the fighting nature of monsters cannot be changed so easily.
Suddenly a ray of sword light flashed through, and the sharp white rainbow overwhelmed the brilliance of the sun, remaining in the air and unable to dissipate for a long time.
The running body of Gurangel's ghost was suddenly cut off at the waist, and his upper body slowly slid down. No blood flowed out, but his figure gradually became ethereal, and finally turned into silver smoke.
The other one was also besieged by many knights and was cut off from life.
Kevin gently sheathed his sword, his face still expressionless, looking like a stone sculpture.
