Chapter 106 Let this dark world have more light (big chapter, by the way)
"This is an evil residence. It hides the realm of blessing and honesty. It should be used for prayer and interrogation." Jingtian frowned at first, and then said.
"It's not poisonous." Comelia also released a detection poison on this side, and then said.
"That's better." After hearing this, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask, "Are there any other magical auras?"
"Yes, and there is not just one. The brass bull head is a magic item. As long as it is within the range of the sacrifice, it can maintain the state of evil residence. It is considered a mobile evil residence. The gas is the blessing spell. Unfortunately, it is only
It is effective against evil creatures, and there seems to be a magical aura on that side, but I need to take a look first." With that said, Sedum pointed to the pile of things in the corner.
"Well Voljiv, you and Bao'er take a look at how to get the brass bull head. This thing should still be able to sell for a certain price. Ahem, then Sedum, you investigate the pile of things, and I'll go take a look at that.
Box. Others are on alert." As he spoke, Lin Yun took the key he snatched from Faxiong and came to the area around the big wooden box.
Opened the big locked wooden box.
It's filled with all kinds of things.
Lin Yun took a rough look, and the first thing he could confirm was a large number of gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, 5 Iomedae's holy emblems, a fine long sword, two fine scimitars, and 5 silver utensils.
, one should be a wand and a headband.
The identification work should be left to the tool makers.
But the most important thing is the stack of documents piled on top of the belongings.
Lin Yun opened the file eagerly and looked at it quickly.
The amount of information in these documents is quite large, and there is a note at the back.
First, it was mentioned that Cannably's attack had been planned several years ago, and the true identities, or disguised identities, of the members of the Knights of the Ivory Labyrinth who participated in the plan were listed.
"Okay. I think this is what we are looking for..." He carefully put these things away, and then began to read carefully.
Although these lists are of no help to the finished Cannably, Lin Yun clearly knows that they are still useful to the Crusaders, because there are obviously several people on them who are not working in Cannabry, and at least Lin Yun confirmed that these
There was no "acquaintance" Lin Yun knew on the list.
Of course, it goes without saying that people like Nessarian and Hosilla already know about it.
After Lin Yun finished flipping through the list, he began to look at the note... The content described above made him more and more frightened.
Because the purpose of this plan is written on the note.
The destruction of the Kite Tower carrying the Guardian Stone, the destruction of the Guardian Stone, the death of Trendy River, and the attack on the city were not just the beginning.
The attack of Worldwound has taken them a step further than just wanting the fall of Cannabry.
To put it bluntly, the Lord of Locusts finally made a decision.
The war that has lasted for hundreds of years is coming to an end, but this is not a victory for the Crusaders, or for the people of the main plane.
According to Kiras, they are planning to eliminate the remaining forces in Iron Guard Ambition and Cannabli as much as possible first to reduce the possibility of accidents.
When the Guardian Stone was destroyed by the Storm King, a large explosion destroyed the Kite Tower.
The protective net at the border was broken, but not completely.
Because a large piece of the Guardian Stone still existed, the cultists moved it to the Gray Barracks in Old Canabry.
They hope to reverse the power of the guardian stone through some method and turn Canabry's greatest patron saint into a destructive weapon in their hands.
It's really a plot that Lin Yun is familiar with.
It seems that we have to hurry up.
"How are you doing?" Lin Yun turned to look at the others.
"My side will be removed soon." Baoer said excitedly, holding a crowbar.
On the other side, good news also came from Jingtian's side, "I don't know whether it's because I'm reluctant to part with it or because I don't like it, but there are actually two good things hidden here, and there are also a lot of miscellaneous things. Well, speaking of it,
Istreda Tower originally seemed to be a place similar to a museum or a research laboratory. These should be things that were cleared out before." Jingtian said with a smile.
"How good is it?" Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, then said.
"A piece of magic essence, a magic longbow worth 5800 gold coins, a cold iron kukri worth 1, oh, and a mithril chain mail shirt with Ms. Cassandra written on it." Sedum started dancing.
.
However, this harvest is indeed quite good. The long bow is okay, but the cold iron kukri basically does not need to be used by the cultists. They are either machetes or giant scythes. Besides, what are the meanings of using cold iron?
Their gods are all demons...
As for the mithril chain armor shirt, it goes without saying that it is obviously a women's armor. Unfortunately, it is not like Japanese RPGs where the fewer places to cover, the higher the armor.
It is the kind that perfectly wraps up almost half of the body, except that it is pushed up at the front, and is much more refined than ordinary chain mail shirts, and can even be worn as clothes.
Although I don’t know the person named Cassandra.
But even if this thing is sold as a work of art, it will probably be much more expensive than an ordinary mithril chain mail shirt.
"My side is ready." At this time, Bao'er finally took off the brass bull head statue.
Accompanying the disassembly of Baoer.
The unknown gas on the brass bull head finally stopped spraying out.
And it seems that it did not attract Baphomet's attention and summoned something like a demon.
"Then leave here quickly. We have important information and time is a bit urgent." Lin Yun said with a very serious expression.
"Okay." Bao'er nodded, and then handed the brass bull head statue to Jingtian, and at this time, Jingtian also put it into the dimensional bag.
"We don't have the time or energy to chat with those cultists slowly, so I'm going to make a big deal. As Hosila, you can directly let the cultists attack Iron Guard Ambition, and then we will take advantage of the opportunity to kill these cultists.
The believers are all done, and maybe there will be some... well, a more peculiar situation." Lin Yun's expression became a little weird.
"What's wrong?" Hunyuan asked curiously.
Lin Yun's expression suddenly became devilish, and he twisted his mouth in preparation.
"The intelligence I just saw from Kilas shows that at noon tomorrow, these cultists are preparing to attack the Iron Guard's ambitions, so..." Lin Yun was full of sinisterness.
"Backstab?" Hunyuan's mouth twitched slightly and he said cautiously.
"Isn't this a matter of course?" Lin Yun patted Hunyuan on the shoulder.
"But we can't just say nothing." Hunyuan frowned.
"It's simple. Let Shaye take Xiao Jin, Comilia, and Voljiv out of the underground. The rest of us will take a long rest and shelter here." Lin Yun half-squinted his eyes, "Oh, yes.
The time for the transformation technique is limited, so when the time comes, Bao'er, the Hosila you become will hand over the command for a little while, and then I will use the main body to conduct the command, and then you will come back through the dug tunnel, perfect."
"But in this case, the number of people who come and go with us is not enough, and those cultists are likely to be suspicious." Bao'er frowned slightly.
"Yes, let's do it like this. First, as Hosila, you hand over the command to me openly, and then you take Saya, Xiaojin, Comilia and others with you on the grounds that the environment here is too bad.
, if you want to go to another cleaner place to rest, and then go out openly." Lin Yun thought for a while, and then said.
"That's okay. In this case, our team is all female. It's understandable that we leave for such a reason. It's not too strange." Comelia also nodded, with a look of approval.
It's just... Lin Yun feels that this guy just wants to leave here because he dislikes the poor environment here...
"But if this is the case, it will distract your fighting power. Is this really okay?" On the other hand, the cute Xiao Jin was even more worried about the safety of Lin Yun and the others.
"Don't worry, we are the main combat force here. In fact, if we just tip off the information, any one of us can do it. But the problem is that walking on the street is very chaotic now, especially at night. It is dangerous if there is not enough combat power.
." Lin Yun patted Xiao Jin's head, but the dark golden hair... made bursts of dust...
That's outrageous.
"Actually... I think it's better for me to stay too." At this moment, Xiao Jin suddenly said.
"What?" Lin Yun was a little stunned, and then his expression became weird.
"Maybe these people don't really want to be like this. They just don't know, or they are deceived, or they are going astray, so if possible, I want to have a little communication with them." Xiao Jin said with a smile.
He looked at Lin Yun with pleading eyes.
But... "No." Lin Yun refused almost instantly.
"You also have to think about us. What will happen if you accidentally expose our true situation during the communication process?" Hunyuan also said with a wry smile.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm not connected with you, that'll be fine, right?" Xiao Jin said with an innocent smile.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun frowned slightly.
"Mr. Dante, you said before that if I disguised myself as a slave, I would not arouse suspicion. In this case, it is not strange for me, a slave, to say something that is not suitable for your status, is it? I just
She is just a somewhat innocent little girl, not a Crusader or a cultist, just an ordinary person." Xiao Jin still smiled.
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Lin Yun was a little startled.
Because Xiao Jin usually looks ignorant of the world and looks stupid, but he didn't expect that at such a time, his thinking was so clear, but this caused another problem.
That is, whether Xiao Jin, who is focused on how to "save" these cultists, is a trustworthy person.
As mentioned before, Hu Erlun once sent Xiao Jin and her father to be burned at the stake.
Just because Xiao Jin was still a little girl, his conscience felt that Xiao Jin was not guilty enough, so he saved Xiao Jin from being burned. This is a question worth thinking about.
Then there is the question of why Huerlen himself sent Xiao Jin and Xiao Jin’s father to the stake. This is also a very important question.
Although there are many possibilities, it is possible that Hu Erlun was simply hunting witches, or it was simply due to heretical behavior, or it was just Hu Erlun's daily behavior as a religious lunatic.
This made it difficult for Lin Yun to judge whether a person like Xiao Jin, who was extremely kind but also extremely neutral from a certain perspective, was his enemy or someone worthy of his trust.
It's very contradictory.
Because if everything Xiao Jin did was just a disguise, then in the state she mentioned.
Only by appearing under the eyes of the cultists and then continuously talking to them can she "save" them.
After all, if any of Lin Yun and the others are present, then no matter how eloquent and eloquent she is, it will have no meaning.
This is as funny as teaching his students how to skip class under the nose of the teacher.
Leaving Xiao Jin alone under the eyes of those cultists will inevitably lead to a problem, that is, Lin Yun and the others may not know what Xiao Jin communicated with those cultists.
And during this process, what if Xiaojin leaks Lin Yun's identity, or even directly exposes Lin Yun's identity, and then allows those cultists to assassinate and assassinate Lin Yun and the others.
Then Lin Yun and the others might not be able to guard against it. After all, this is a cultist's camp.
There may even be other cultists outside who have not returned.
And if they still want to complete the backstab operation tomorrow, they must maintain a certain number of cultists, and they cannot kill all of them, so this is very confusing.
"Is that so? I understand. I'm very sorry. I was too willful." Looking at Lin Yun's expression, he looked hesitant.
Xiao Jin's expression also became slightly gloomy, but then he returned to his original smile, "I believe there must be a reason why Mr. Dante would not agree with what I said. It must be my own thoughts. I
There's something wrong with the method, so it doesn't matter, just follow your previous plan, Mr. Dante. I won't do anything unnecessary. After all, you all helped me to be able to stand here. I'm just a silly girl.
"
The words that sounded self-deprecating, coupled with the apology, made Lin Yun feel like he was playing hard to get.
But look at the smile on Xiao Jin’s face.
Lin Yun, however, entered into further thinking.
Because, at this time, he inevitably thought of the previous conversation between Huerlen and Lamien.
Because of the Chichen Massacre, Hu'erlen doubted everything he saw and believed nothing he saw, in order to protect everything he wanted to protect.
Even though he was bruised and bruised, he still chose to endure it because he was the dean of Cannably.
Lamion believes that compared to rationality, sometimes you need to believe more in sensibility and spontaneity. Although it may be wrong, if you don't do it, you will continue to be wrong. In this case, then do it.
, if it is really wrong, then bear it and bear it.
This actually made Lin Yun think of something, that is, Wang Lai admitted that Wang Lai was responsible for everything.
At this time, there is no doubt that Lin Yun's current thoughts are biased towards Hu'erlen's theory.
Conspiracy theories, theories of guilt, doubting everything.
Because of the responsibilities I shoulder, in one sentence, I am timid.
I come from a developed modern society, because I have seen too much warmth and coldness in the world, and because I have seen too much so-called darkness, depravity, human nature, money, and betrayal.
If you don’t trust people, you can only choose to start your own business.
Don't dare to trust people, can only be alone without friends.
But, is this really right?
The most famous saying in China is that in the beginning, human beings are inherently good.
Perhaps, give this world full of darkness a little more light, even if it is just a little possibility, even if it may actually be betrayal, even if the result is bruises all over the body and death.
"Huh." Lin Yun took a deep breath and his expression became serious and serious.
"Hey, wait, you can't do it, can you? You don't really want to do this, do you?" Jingtian on the side looked at Lin Yun's determined look and felt a little panicked.
"I will bear all the responsibilities. If something goes wrong with Xiao Jin, there is nothing we can do about it. But if we don't make a decision, there will be no future. I have to believe in the infinity of human beings." Lin Yun's eyes were full of determination.
, The chaotic thoughts in his brain made Lin Yun feel depressed, and he almost wanted to kill Yiyun, but now he seemed to have undergone a transformation.
It feels like when you are pulling something, suddenly an idea flashes in your brain, and then you clap your hands, and a good idea comes to mind, and then it starts to explode.
What Lin Yun didn't notice was that at this time, he had a hero point of 1, and his intelligence, charm and perception were all 1 at the same time.
"But the problem is that you are a demon, Xiao Jin is an elf, and those cultists outside are not necessarily humans." Hunyuan covered his face and complained.
Although from the beginning, his black hood covered his face perfectly.
"Go away." Lin Yun, who had been pretending to be sexy, suddenly became angry with embarrassment.
"Then Mr. Dante." Xiao Jin looked at Lin Yun.
"Let's give it a try. If there is really no other way, then we have to turn despair into hope." Lin Yun patted the ashes on Xiao Jin's head.
And just then.
"That's right." Suddenly a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
Lin Yun and the others grabbed the weapons in their hands almost instantly.
Lin Yun took a closer look and saw that it seemed to be a woman wearing a robe, and the entire silhouette looked full of sanctity.
"Dark clouds can cover up the stars, but nothing can cover up the light of a person's soul, and I see such light in you." The shadow said softly.
"Cannabry is burning. This city shouldn't have fallen. It's such an unpredictable fate." An angel figure almost three meters tall and covered in armor also ran out.
"We will fight against evil side by side with you." Another female figure wearing full body armor appeared in front of Lin Yun and the others.
However, Lin Yun noticed that the long sword on the waist of the female figure looked very much like a glow. No, it should be said that it was a glow.
Is this phantom Yanny?
"Perhaps, you need help." Another female angel appeared in front of everyone.
For a moment, Lin Yun and the others were confused.
"I heard that Istredad Tower once existed as a museum for the Crusaders, and if I'm not mistaken, these phantoms are the envoys of Iomedae who helped us fight against the demons during the Holy War. They are like brother and sister.
The same silver twins, the Jihad hero Yanni, and the legendary Supreme Priest Elandra who led the refugees to escape from the city of Izzy at the beginning of the World Wound. But how could their phantoms appear here?
." Comelia said with some surprise.
"This place exists as the cradle of memory and fantasy. We are just a memory. Things belonging to the heroes of this city are preserved here. People often come to remember our existence, so we exist. Although we have been sleeping for a long time,
It was your light that woke us up." The female angel's shadow said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Yun and the others noticed that except for this female angel, the other three shadows all looked dull and dim.
It feels a bit like the power of faith and existence.
Because the Istred Tower was abandoned and occupied by the cultists, not many people still remembered them, so they became very weak.
"Many things were silent before we were willing to listen, but now these memories have awakened and appeared in front of us." Xiao Jin said with a smile.
"Then why did you come out and how did you help us?" Lin Yun frowned slightly and then said.
"I'm sorry, I don't have much power anymore, but I can only say, believe that girl, that girl didn't want to deceive you, she just wanted to help more people, and then, this is my last power."
As she spoke, a ball of energy emerged from the hands of this female angel.
Then it spread to Lin Yun and the others.
"This is... an effect similar to the Touch of Glory, but it is a group and lasts for 24 hours." The corner of Jingtian's mouth twitched slightly.
Although this looks very powerful, the problem is that the Touch of Glory is useless to him.
Touch of Glory is an ability within the Priest's Glory Domain that can increase the Priest's level in a Charisma skill check.
And for example...
If Lin Yun came to negotiate now.
Then it’s the devilish situation of d201423...
Of course, in fact, this thing is just similar. Normal Touch of Glory can only take effect once, but this one can take effect 8 times, which should be the number of times the bonus is adjusted.
After releasing this spell, the female angel's shadow has completely disappeared, and other shadows have also disappeared.
This basement was restored to its original appearance.
If you say this, then it is true that this female angel does not have much power left.
"It seems that I can only agree." Lin Yun turned around and looked at Xiao Jin again.
"Well, thank you very much." Xiao Jin smiled sweetly and nodded.
In this regard, others can only choose to believe in that female angel, believe in Lin Yun, and believe in Xiao Jin's choice.
