[MTL, BL] It Is Said That I Captured the Great Demon King [Holographic]

67

The two of them walked along the remaining stone pavement and finally arrived at the village.

Xiao Zhi observed the architectural ruins in front of him. This should have once been a large village, although most of the houses had collapsed and looked very inconspicuous after being buried by wildly growing grass.

Fortunately, most of the buildings in Bresse are made of stone, so they can still be preserved after hundreds of years of natural erosion.

The two people's progress was not difficult, because some traces of people walking could be seen in the wild grass. These should have been left by the members of Shangshan Ruoshui when they came to clear the dungeon, and now they guided the direction for Xiao Zhi and the two.

Finally, Xiao Zhi stood in front of an abandoned building.

The main part of the building has collapsed, and the exterior still bears black marks from the fire. The remaining parts are also full of gaps and big holes made by unknown things, and it looks very miserable. You can vaguely see the long-faded Holy Emblem of Bres inlaid at the main entrance of the church, feebly reflecting the faint light in the sunlight that has begun to set westward at this moment.

The name of the church was still barely legible, and the characters on it were also old-style characters that Xiao Zhi was familiar with. He recognized it: "Xisha..."

Xiao Zhi looked at the church in front of him: "This looks like it is haunted. "

Frost: "Are you scared?"

Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Wouldn't it be good if it was haunted? They are all our own people. Maybe they can give us directions or open a back door or something. We can also ask them for help. Don't come back to Hesse with us."

Frost's lips curved slightly: "You're right."

After saying that, the two of them walked directly to the gloomy-looking church.

Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand and gently pushed the shaky door, and then with a "bang", the door that had been about to be struck fell down, letting out a cry of joy and raising dust on the ground.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

It seems that we need to be more careful not to accidentally explore the demolition.

The interior of the church was similar to its appearance, with rubble and weeds everywhere, and traces of fire all over the walls. It was as dark as a ghost lying on the wall in the dark, watching.

The two of them walked around the ruins, but found nothing.

First, there were traces of fire all over the church, which burned everything to the ground. Even the surrounding buildings were affected. I am afraid that a large number of clues had been destroyed by the fire at that time.

Secondly, the church has been abandoned for a long time, and the clues that could be left have long since disappeared under the baptism of time.

The two could only leave the church first and wait outside for nightfall.

Xiao Zhi was sitting outside the church and was bored. He took out the snacks he had stored up and shared them with Frost. He also told him about the past. Frost listened quietly and asked a few questions from time to time. The picture looks more and more like a picnic.

If it weren't for being in a deserted village and an abandoned church.

·

Finally, the sky gradually darkened.

The weather is sunny today, and the moonlight is particularly bright after dark.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, large black shadows appeared in the ruins of Caesar's Church. Along with the crows and the rustling movements of unknown animals in the grass, the church seemed even more eerie.

Xiao Zhi looked at the time, stood up and said, "We should go."

After that, he took out the white mousse flowers he had prepared before from his backpack and gave them to Frost. The flower language of the white Musa flower is "loyal faith", which is very suitable for the status of Archbishop Grayata.

The two held flowers and stepped into the ruins of Caesar's Church together under the bright moonlight.

This time, Xiao Zhi felt like he had passed through a wall with water waves. The moment he entered the church, the air around him rippled slightly, and the picture in front of him gradually became blurry, and then again Clear.

A clear bell sounded, gradually spreading in the quiet night.

Then, a warm light appeared in Xiao Zhi's eyes.

The light comes from the church in front. At this moment, the Caesar Church is no longer the decadent and gloomy look before. The building has returned to white, with a neat and tidy appearance. With warm light, it looks like it even at night. Full of solemn and sacred flavor.

Xiao Zhi also found that the clothes he was wearing had changed. It was not the mage robe he wore before, but a white robe. The style of the robe is quite simple and does not have any decoration. It is the clothing worn by Bresse believers when they participate in some important ceremonies.

He looked at Frost beside him and found that he was wearing the same clothes as himself. The helmet that obscured his face was gone, and his handsome features were exposed, and his silver hair shone dazzlingly in the light.

Frost never wears white, and wearing white like this today reduces a bit of his coldness and makes him look a bit more gentle. But if you look carefully, you will find that this person's skin is too pale, and his chest does not rise and fall due to breathing, which is a bit strange.

Xiao Zhi was startled, and he subconsciously wanted to find something to cover Frost.

At this moment, he felt someone behind him tap his shoulder.

Xiao Zhi suddenly turned around and faced an unfamiliar face.

The person who patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder was an aunt. The aunt looked very kind, with a round face and smiling eyes. She looked at him with a bit of elders' kindness, as if she was looking at two normal villagers. young people.

She said: "Sander, why don't you and Samuel go in? The blessing ceremony is about to begin."

Her gentle eyes swept over the two of them. Perhaps it was the cover of the night, but she didn't notice Fu Something strange happened to Rost.

Xiao Zhi understood that Sander and Samuel were the two young people from the village who participated in the blessing ceremony after entering the dungeon. He looked around and found many villagers wearing white robes, probably all here to participate in this blessing ceremony.

According to Bai Yan, the perspective is different every time they enter. Probably, every time they enter the dungeon, they bring in The roles are all different.

Xiao Zhi also pretended to be familiar with it and nodded to the aunt: "We will go right away."

The aunt smiled and tapped her chest to represent the unique brilliance of the sun: "May God bless you."

Xiao Zhi also imitated her. He responded with a smile: "May God bless you."

After greeting the two of them, the aunt left.

The eyes of the people around them swept over the two people, but they all turned away as usual. It was probably because of Xiao Zhi's previous makeup, and the effect of the night and warm yellow lights, that they did not notice anything strange about Frost.

Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it would be nice if he wasn't exposed so easily.

Xiao Zhi and Frost moved on.

On the way, they saw the believers around them greeting everyone they met in a gentle and polite manner, making it a happy scene. Many people also took the initiative to greet them, which was completely different from the wary-eyed villagers before. Both of them returned the same greetings as they did to the aunt before.

Brace's teachings clearly divide believers and unbelievers into "us" and "them", drawing a barrier in the hearts of believers.

They are gentle, friendly and enthusiastic towards fellow believers; when facing unbelievers, they are indifferent, resistant and always on guard. In this way, as time goes by, believers will become a closely united group, and they will become more and more closely connected and increasingly exclusive.

Following the crowd, Xiao Zhi and Frost came to the nave of the church. After putting the white Musa flowers in their hands together, they found a suitable place to sit down.

The nave is where believers gather, and in front is the altar dedicated to clergy.

At this moment, believers were still pouring in towards the nave, but they all kept speaking softly and greeted each other in a low voice. No one shouted, and no one made any noise about arguing over their seats.

Everything is in order.

After a while, almost all the believers had taken their seats, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet.

At this time, the door of the south corridor of the altar opened, and a man wearing the uniform of an archbishop took the lead and walked out, followed by a series of people wearing the uniforms of clergy of different levels.

Walking outside was a man in his thirties. He was tall and handsome, with long flaxen hair tied back. He had a smile on his face and looked full of charm. His white archbishop uniform set off his appearance. It feels a little more abstinent.

This man was the most popular archbishop at the time, Gray Tower.

Putting aside everything else, just by looking at this appearance, he is very suitable for becoming a popular player.

The man behind him, whom Xiao Zhi and Frost didn't know, was a middle-aged bishop who looked a little fat. The bishop was round, with curly hair, and raised corners of his mouth. He looked very easy to get along with.

Behind him were two lower-ranking bishops, plus several priests.

Xiao Zhi was a little surprised. It turned out that there were so many people present when Gray Tower disappeared? ! However, this was not mentioned at all in the subsequent information. Even where Greta disappeared was vague, and it is not known what happened to these people later.

Sure enough, there is an inside story!

No, this should be called a shady thing!

Because he was among the crowd, it was inconvenient for Xiao Zhi to speak ill of Brace's senior management. He turned around and exchanged glances with Frost to express his unhappiness at the moment.

Frost quietly squeezed Xiao Zhi's hand to indicate that he had received it.

As soon as Gray Tower appeared, the eyes of the believers below shone brightly, and they were as enthusiastic as star-chasing girls.

Grayata smiled, nodded to the believers below, and then stood at the highest point of the altar with calm steps. He spoke, and his voice seemed to contain calming power: "Thank you all believers for coming to today's prayer ceremony. We are all fellow believers and the closest brothers and sisters in the world. May God bless you."

Believers in the audience. They gave him an enthusiastic response.

Then, Grayata said a few more words.

He is very eloquent and has a sense of humor. Every sentence is clear and coherent, his tone is just right, and he has a decent smile on his face. It was obvious that he was just preaching doctrines and heating up the atmosphere, but when he said it, it seemed particularly attractive.

Xiao Zhi secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder this man rose to power so quickly, making Andre have to deal with him in advance. Grayata's personal charm is really a plus. Compared with him, Andre's image of a respectable and good old man can only be rubbed on the ground.

Before the blessing ceremony begins, everyone recites religious classics together.

Xiao Zhi and Frost didn't know how to do it at all. They just mingled in the crowd and pretended to open their mouths. Fortunately, everyone was very involved and no one noticed the two guys fishing in troubled waters, allowing them to just get by.

Afterwards, Grayata stood on the altar and held a blessing ceremony. As he chanted, little warm yellow lights floated down from the altar and fell on the believers below.

The believers closed their eyes involuntarily, enjoying bathing in the holy light and feeling that their souls had been washed and purified.

Xiao Zhi also felt warmth on his body. He secretly turned his head to look at Frost with some worry. Frost was an undead after all. He didn't know if he would be harmed under the power of the Archbishop.

Frost met Xiao Zhi's eyes and shook his head slightly.

After all, it is a prayer for ordinary believers. It is impossible for the archbishop to use all his firepower. Otherwise, the believers' fragile little bodies cannot bear it, and it is possible for them to return to the embrace of God on the spot. And this kind of weak holy light is just a little stronger than sunlight to Frost, and it can't cause any harm at all.

After the ceremony is a more relaxed session, Grayata will answer the doubts of the believers, whether they are doubts about Blaise's classics or difficult problems he encountered.

Normally, believers in remote villages like this don't have much chance to see the archbishop directly, let alone ask questions to the archbishop. The atmosphere became more heated for a while, and questions were thrown towards Greia Tower one after another.

Grayata answered them one by one with a smile.

At this time, a believer in the audience asked: "Master Archbishop, how should we deal with the undead?"

Grayata looked at him: "Did you encounter any danger brought by the undead?"

The man shook his head: "No."

Grayata said: "If they didn't hurt you, why did you hurt them?"

The man was stunned and subconsciously replied: "But... they are the undead, representing death and darkness. Yes, we symbolize light, shouldn't we destroy them?"

Many people in the crowd echoed.

"Well..." Grayata touched his chin and thought for a moment. He did not directly comment on whether this statement was right or wrong, but asked: "Do you know how the undead came?"

"It's because someone can't let go after they die. "It's caused by obsession."

"It's very painful when they die, and then they become undead."

"And if they die in the wrong place, they will also become undead."

Grayata nodded: "Yes. , what everyone said is correct. The undead were also human beings like us when they were alive. They may be farmers, blacksmiths, tailors, nobles, officials, soldiers... They have the same happiness and pain as us. "

It's just that they had too much obsession and resentment before they died, and they became undead. They are just a group of poor people who have not been illuminated by the holy light and are unfortunately lost. If possible. I think it would be better to help them and relieve their obsession than to directly eliminate them."

Grayata looked at the people in the audience and smiled gently: "However, please pay attention to your own safety, if you encounter dangerous elements. If so, you are welcome to come to the church for help, I will be with you."

Xiao Zhi looked at Greata talking with a smile on the stage, and felt a little complicated for a moment. It turned out that there were people in Bres who had different attitudes towards the undead. People are even more open than some people on the mainland today.

If it had been this archbishop who took office back then, maybe Frost wouldn't have faced those terrible encounters later, and maybe... the current situation of Brace and Hesse would also be different.

It's a pity that such people were killed five hundred years ago.

After death, the traces left behind were erased and turned into an empty name.

After the Q&A session, blessing meals were distributed. Believers will approach the altar one by one, wash their hands with the holy spring water, and then receive the blessing meal distributed by Archbishop Graeta himself.

After the meal, everyone will chant the scriptures together until dawn, which means welcoming the light, and the blessing ceremony will not be truly over until then.

Looking at the people standing up one by one in front of him, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel anxious. Was he about to get close to the archbishop? Ordinary believers cannot see that Frost is an undead, but... what about the Archbishop?

It is really risky to be at such a close distance and personally take the blessing meal from his hand. Moreover, there are so many clergy standing behind and so many pairs of eyes staring at him. It is inevitable that someone will appear. flaw.

Before he had time to think too much, it was Xiao Zhi's turn to receive the blessing meal.

I wonder if he can say that he can eat two portions by himself...
