……………………………………………………………………………………

Benjamin glanced at Lucien, and walked slowly towards the ruins of the witch cabin with a unique and elegant rhythm. His voice was low and gentle: "Evil wizards always like to play with the hearts and perceptions of kind people, especially in this day where the silver moon shines.

At night, it’s just that the witch has not yet acquired the truly terrifying evil power, and her magic can often only affect one or two people.”

Lucien listened in a daze at first, and it was not until Benjamin finished speaking that he realized that he was explaining why he was the only one who heard the crying, while the nearby residents were still asleep. Even if they were woken up and listened carefully, there was no gain.

Without giving Lucien a chance to speak, Benjamin stretched out his hands with white gloves and continued: "And the four church guards and I have the favor of the Lord, so we can hear this evil voice."

The four guards walking back and forth, after hearing this sentence, immediately crossed themselves on their chests and shouted in unison:

"Only truth endures."

As they chanted, their spirits became slightly excited.

The residents of the slums watching from a distance also prayed in a low voice: "Only the truth will last forever."

Then they whispered: "This is the power of the gods, worthy of being a noble priest."

Amidst the faint sound of praise, Benjamin's face with a unique arc became more serious and solemn. He slowly opened his hands with white gloves and whispered a strange short syllable in his mouth:

"Paso."

As soon as the short and rapid syllable ended, the entire ruins of the hut was covered with a layer of faint white light, like the silver moon in the sky casting bursts of brilliance.

Shrouded in white light, on a broken wall connecting the ruins to Lucien's house, a strange blood-red color appeared, the shape of a hole.

Under the influence of this mysterious and strange spell and magical effect, Lucien was as shocked as the poor people around him, and his mood fluctuated, but they were more intoxicated and fearful, while Lucien was fearful mixed with deep yearning.

.

Benjamin put away his hands and gave an order to the guard in front of him: "Gary, that is the secret door. There is no magic trap. Go and open it."

Gary's chest puffed up, and the chainmail on his body made a clanging sound: "As you command, Lord Benjamin."

When Gary and another guard walked by, Lucien, who had sharp ears next to him, heard Benjamin curse in a low voice: "Those arrogant men in the Inquisition can only use 'detect magic traps', so they can't learn how to do it."

'Detecting secret doors'? Huh, because you are just a magic apprentice, are you so negligent?"

With the instructions of the magic, Gary showed his powerful muscles and collapsed the broken wall in two or three strokes.

Then, another guard pulled out his long sword, roared and struck down hard, smashing a mechanism into pieces, truly exposing the black hole in the corner.

The entrance of the cave was not big and could only accommodate one person. The wind blew through, bringing a foul smell from the entrance of the cave. Benjamin frowned slightly and covered his nose and mouth with his right hand wearing a white glove, while Lucien

I almost felt nauseated and took two steps back unconsciously.

Gary looked inside the hole carefully and ran over: "Lord Benjamin, this secret passage leads to the sewer."

Benjamin frowned and looked at Gary with his golden eyebrows. His mouth and nose seemed to be a little deformed due to pressure, and his voice became muffled: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, you can see a section of the sewer if you look down diagonally." Gary replied affirmatively.

Benjamin did not speak. As a noble and elegant priest, and as a member of the glorious Lafati family that has been passed down for many years, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the filth and stench in the sewers, and he had mastered the magic.

There is no "purification spell" among the several magical spells that create imprint models in the soul. If you want to cast it, you must rely on the combination of spells, gestures and casting materials, and no one knows where the secret room is in the sewer, along the way.

Walking there requires several purification spells.

"Anyway, I'm just a magic apprentice. If I hold the Holy Emblem of Truth, there won't be any problems." Benjamin thought nonchalantly, then he looked at Lucien, loosened his right hand, and his voice became majestic and gentle again: "

If you are in the company of a witch, your body must be contaminated with evil power, and it needs atonement before it can be washed away. However, your devotion to the Lord moved me. I will lend you my holy symbol. Once you can purify the evil witch left behind,

With strength, you can regain the Lord's favor. Go, Lucien, and work for the Lord, and the Lord's eyes will be on you."

After successfully running to the church and attracting Benjamin, Gary and others, Lucien felt much more relaxed. There were priests and guards. It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of the ghosts and ghosts, and no matter how difficult it was, it wouldn't be his turn.

Ordinary people who had just recovered were helping, so when he heard Benjamin's words, Lucien's mind immediately buzzed: "He actually asked me to purify the resentful spirits?! I, I'm just an ordinary person!"

Seeing Lucien's face full of surprise and resistance, Benjamin asked calmly and kindly: "Are you unwilling?"

There was no malice at all, but Lucien trembled and came to his senses. If he answered no, he might turn into a corpse immediately. But if he agreed, it seemed that he planned to lend the Holy Emblem to him according to Benjamin's wishes.

Moreover, two or three guards will probably follow. To deal with the incomplete wraith left by a magic apprentice whom Benjamin said he didn't take seriously, the danger shouldn't be too great.

Whether Benjamin is really unwilling to go down because he dislikes the dirty sewers, or he has other ideas, it will not do him any good to mess up this seemingly simple thing.

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Lucien smiled very stiffly and replied: "I am willing to serve the Lord."

Benjamin didn't take Lucien's stiffness to heart. He took off the Holy Emblem amulet from his neck with his right hand and handed it to Lucien: "This is the Holy Emblem of Truth. I will cast a 'blessing spell' on you later."

With it on your body, you can concentrate more easily, and by combining it with the incantation and using your spirit and rubbing your fingers to communicate with the Holy Emblem, you can activate the power of the Lord contained in it."

After Lucien suppressed his emotions, he became full of curiosity about this holy symbol that could perform divine magic.

The Holy Emblem has a gold background and is engraved with a white cross that emits a faint light. Around the cross, in the deep gold, are drawn many horizontal and vertical lines as well as circles, triangles, squares, rectangles and other patterns, which are strangely connected together to set off the

Holding the cross, it looks mysterious and solemn.

Holding the Holy Emblem in his hand, Lucien immediately felt a gentle and gentle power coming from him, permeating his whole body. Even facing the cool breeze in the middle of the night, he felt as warm as if he was basking in the sun.

"There are two informal magic spells in the Holy Emblem: Light and Treatment of Minor Injuries, which can be used three times a day, and three first-level magic spells: Holy Light Shield, Sword of Glory, and Holy Light Strike, which can only be used every day.

It can be used once, okay, listen to their incantation clearly."

Lucien had no way to retreat and had to go down, so the power of divine magic was particularly important to him. He studied the incantations taught by Benjamin with all his heart.

The incantations were all short syllables, but the intonation changes were extremely difficult to pronounce. It took a lot of effort for Lucien to barely make any mistakes.

Benjamin nodded invisibly and stretched out his right hand.

There was no incantation this time, and a white light enveloped Lucien and slowly dissipated, making Lucien feel that his body was full of strength and healthier than ever before. At the same time, his mind was focused and sharp, and he could hear the voices in the distance clearly.

.

"The priest actually let Lucien go down and gave him the Holy Emblem?"

"Didn't you hear? It was the kindness of the pastor that allowed Lucien to go down and wash away the sins on his body."

"Praise the Lord, praise the pastor."

Lucien didn't have much common sense about this world, so after accepting the "Blessing Technique", he quietly waited for Benjamin to cast the "Blessing Technique" on Gary and the other two guards.

Every time Benjamin casts the blessing spell, there is about a two to three second interval.

After doing all this, Benjamin looked at Lucien and others: "Paul will guard the entrance of the secret passage. Gary, Haosen, and Correa, you three, go down with Lucien."

Then, his expression became serious and he drew a cross on his chest: "May the glory of the Lord bless you."

"Only the truth lasts forever!"

Gary and the other three guards looked a little excited and answered loudly. Lucien was slow for a moment and answered no, and it was no if he didn't answer.

Fortunately, Benjamin didn't care about this and watched the four of them slowly walk into the secret passage leading to the sewer.

Another guard, Paul, lowered his voice and asked a question he had been wondering about for a long time: "Lord Benjamin, why him?"

There are spells and holy emblems, and guards such as myself and Gary can also activate the magic inside, but each activation is a little slower than that of priests such as Lord Benjamin, trainee priests, or those evil magicians, but even so,

It's better than that kid who knows nothing and hasn't even had a formal and complete physical training. If Lord Benjamin doesn't want to go down, he can just give the Holy Emblem to Gary, Hausen or Correa.

Benjamin looked at the entrance of the secret passage, covering his nose and mouth with his right hand, and said in a low and soft voice: "His mental power is slightly higher than that of normal people, and he can better stimulate the magic in the holy symbol."

"But he is too old and has no value in training."

…………

As soon as he entered the secret passage, the stench mixed with countless flavors came to him, and Lucien couldn't help but retched twice.

"You, a boy who lives in the Aderjan district, are so uncomfortable with the smell of sewers. It seems that you are not as poor as I thought. Whether it is the City of Psalms or Antiphore, there is life in the sewers.

There are many real poor people who don’t even have shabby houses,” Correa said sarcastically as he entered the secret passage in front of Lucien. He had black hair and a different profile from Gary and Benjamin, with high cheekbones and thin cheeks.

Before Lucien could answer, Gary who followed in said directly: "Quiet."

Correa shrugged his shoulders, closed his mouth, took a few steps in the secret passage that was as tall as a person, and then jumped out of the sewers that extended in all directions.

Lucien jumped out, stepping on something wet and slippery.

These things are everywhere, and the surrounding walls are covered with strange moss. They emit a faint light, preventing the entire sewer from being in complete darkness.

Gary lowered his voice: "I, Hausen, and Correa are all high-level knight attendants. Please pay attention to your cooperation when using the Holy Emblem. When you encounter danger, summon the 'Sword of Glory' immediately." He kept the golden

He has a beard, but every move he makes is very calm, which makes people feel at ease. Among the four guards, they are vaguely in charge of the situation.

After saying that, Gary held the long sword in his right hand and a small round shield in his left hand, calling Hausen, Correa, and Lucien, looking for the place where the ghost's cry came from.

Lucien, who had no common sense, followed dumbfoundedly: "How do I know what kind of strength high-level knight attendants should have?" But Lucien did not dare to ask Gary and the others directly about this kind of thing.

The miserable, sad cries echoed more and more loudly in the narrow environment of the sewer. They seemed to come from all directions, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific location.

However, the specially trained guards such as Gary and Lucien, who had pretty good mental strength, could easily tell the direction with the blessing of the "Blessing Technique".

This section of the sewers was so quiet that it was terrifying, and there was not a single poor person Correa said living in the sewers.

After passing several forks, Lucien and the others stopped at a sewer corner that looked like nothing out of the ordinary.

Gary looked at the wall covered with green moss and said to Lucien calmly and seriously: "Summon the 'Sword of Glory'."

Lucien was scared and eager to try. With the help of the blessing technique, he calmed down and concentrated on the holy symbol. He felt the warm and moist power, and then held the holy symbol hanging around his neck with his left hand.

, gently and rhythmically rubbed the white cross in the center of the Holy Emblem, and while rubbing it, he recited a strange incantation:

"Chiseon."

Lucien only felt that his spirit concentrated on the Holy Emblem seemed to be infected by bursts of white light, and little white lights appeared in front of his eyes, gathering together to form a shining lightsaber.

"Is this my voice?" The voice that inspired the magic, as well as the weird and awkward tone, were set off by the power and effects of the magic, making it appear low and hoarse, mysterious and weird, and even Lucien himself was startled.

Holding the lightsaber and feeling the extraordinary power, Lucien couldn't help but feel excited, but Gary's words immediately made Lucien sober up: "Where the wall is split, there is the power of the glorious sword, what kind of magic?"

The traps have all been broken. He is just a magic apprentice."

Looking at the position indicated by Gary, Lucien trembled slightly. He would face a mysterious and powerful magical power. What would appear and what dangers would be unknown?

"A timid and ignorant guy." Correa sneered.

Lucien understood that he had no choice but to bite the bullet, so he took two deep breaths. The terrifying stench made Lucien slowly calm down, and he gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart: "It's just death!"

The sword of brilliance held in his right hand slashed out fiercely, hitting the slippery and disgusting wall.

A flash of white light shines, and the stone is like soft mud, unable to stop it.

When Lucien cut it open, he seemed to also cut open some strange things. There was an inexplicable feeling of fragmentation, and the faint black gas disappeared rapidly under the blade of the Glory Sword.

The entire wall collapsed completely.

Within the walls, there is deep darkness.

Suddenly, two strange, cold, and ferocious red lights lit up in the darkness.

These two dots of red are becoming more and more dense, filling the entire darkness.

Lucien's mouth was dry, his energy was low, and his palms were sweaty. It seemed like a pair of eyes!
