The church in the town is not big, and the rows of chairs inside can only seat 80 people at most. A priest in white robes is chanting in a low voice with his back to the door. There is an angel carved on the stone wall directly in front.
Advent drawing.
Among them, the angel has six wings on her back, burning like a flame. Her eyes are slightly closed, as if tears are flowing down, and her expression is compassionate. This is the image of the water angel Israphel.
After knocking on the door, Luo Xier and his party walked into the church.
"Hello, are you the pastor here?" Edward took off the hat on his head and bent down to salute.
"Hello, I am." The pastor turned around. His face was a little haggard and he looked older.
"Hello Dear Lightkeeper, my wife and I traveled here and liked the environment here very much. However, yesterday she suddenly had a nightmare and saw an incredible scene. She has been in poor spirits today."
"So I would like you to host a calming and blessing ceremony, do you think it is okay?" Edward said, one of his hands was still holding Margaret's to comfort his lover.
The priest raised his eyes and looked at the four people. After a few seconds, he nodded slightly.
"I understand your prayer, but such a ceremony is also very expensive..." He paused for a moment.
"I understand that angels also want apples and bread in the human world. This is a little bit of my heart, and I am willing to donate it to the church."
Edward took out two extraordinary gold coins from his arms. In the dim church, these two gold coins exuded a special kind of brilliance.
"Thank you for your piety and allowing light to travel on the earth." The pastor nodded slightly, and then asked the four of them to sit in the church for a while while he went to prepare materials and personnel.
More than ten minutes later, another priest and nun also came to the church, and now there were three clergy in the church.
The nun first brought water and asked Margaret to wash her face and hands, and then asked her to stand in front of the angel relief.
Then two priests lit two pieces of incense and placed them next to Margaret. A soothing fragrance filled the air.
The doors and windows of the church have long been closed, and only the afternoon sunlight shines through the colored glass windows and falls on the floor inside the church.
The church became extremely quiet.
The nun chanted the names of the three Seraphs, and then sprinkled some dewdrops.
Under the influence of extraordinary power, these dewdrops are dispersed into tiny particles and then burned, making everyone in the church feel refreshed, sober, and then relieved.
Then it was the work of the old priest. He held a small scepter, raised a circular magic circle on the ground, and then enveloped Margaret in it. The magic power in it operated according to the ritual, gradually allowing the consciousness and soul to
precipitation.
This was followed by five minutes of sutra chanting and comfort.
After everything was over, the old pastor also had a slight sweat on his forehead.
Edward expressed his thanks and helped Margaret up from the ground.
"As expected of the priest of the Holy Domain..." followed by a burst of compliments.
A few people chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After they walked out of the church and returned to the hotel, they gathered in a room again to discuss.
"The priest's technique and ritual process are right. The only flaw is the wrong number of people. It stands to reason that this kind of mid-level calming and blessing ceremony can only achieve the best effect if five people perform it together."' Makeup artist
'So commented.
"Indeed, I inquired casually during the chat before leaving, and the old pastor said that there are only a few people in their church. This is different from the church's practice."
"A town-level church must be equipped with at least two priests, one nun, and two guarding knights to be qualified. In fact, considering emergencies and substitutes, three priests, old, middle-aged and young, are generally the best configuration.
.”
However, when I left, I only saw one knight at the door of the church. I asked the people in the town, and they said that it had been like this a long time ago, and there was only one knight guarding it.
"There is a small problem, but I'm not sure yet. Where is the 'Muppet Master'? Have you found anything?"
"Yes, these four people, including the knight at the door, have all been contaminated by the phantom of chaos." Luo Xier said the shocking news in clear and quiet words.
"How is that possible?"
The 'makeup artist' covered her open mouth in disbelief. She had just undergone the ceremony and felt that the priest's spirit was very pious.
"Oh, it seems we finally found the right person, haha."
'Red Hat' was much calmer. He didn't ask how the girl knew. It was a secret of other team members. But since the above specially sent this new team member here, it must mean that he has special skills in detecting this area.
talent.
"Are we going to arrest them now?" Lorraine Hill sat on a chair holding the doll and looked at the three people in front of him curiously.
"Not yet, let's observe first to see if they have contacted anyone else, and also find out the reason why Pastor Matthew disappeared a few days ago, and whether he was silenced by them."
"Now it's time to finally start working." 'Black Cow' picked up the kettle on the table and drank a large gulp of it, his expression relaxed.
------
In the next two days, several people learned from the townspeople in detail about the situation of the pastor and others in the church, and kept secretly observing to see if these people had any contact with anyone else.
"It is said that Pastor Matthew disappeared half a month ago. He and Jin Na were childhood sweethearts."
"What's interesting is that Jin Na also died some time ago. It is said that she was attacked by a monster in the mountains. When others found her, only a mutilated body was left behind."
"Where is the place of death?"
"There is a remote mountain village more than 20 miles away from here, where Matthew and Jin Na grew up."
"Looks like I have to take a trip." "Red Hat" sighed.
So the four of them agreed that night that the 'make-up artist' and the 'black cow' would stay in the hotel and continue to monitor the church from a distance. The 'red hat' and the 'puppet maker' would take advantage of the night and rush directly to the village.
, try to come back before dark the next afternoon, and then decide on the next move.
"Here, take this." 'Red Hat' put a prism-like pendant into Rocher's hand. It was light yellow in color and felt a bit hard to the touch.
"If you encounter danger or trouble, break it into pieces and others will be able to sense it. At the same time, other people will also have one in their hands. If it is broken, you will also be able to roughly know it."
"Okay, but don't we act together?"
"Yes, but the situation is ever-changing, and there may be some accidents. If I die and give you a message, you can run away quickly." 'Red Hat' showed a mocking smile.
Lorraine Hill blinked and looked at the captain of the team. His strength was not weak. Would he also express such emotion?
"Okay, I understand."
Luo Xier thought for a while, then tied the crystal prism with a string, tied it to the back of her wrist, and then covered it with long sleeves.
Seeing the girl's obedient and cautious appearance, several other people smiled happily.
What a reassuring child.
To be honest, what they fear most is the arrogant and irrational members. Sometimes you can't say the other person is bad, but they are very annoying.
