After skillfully dealing with the killer lady, Xiao Zhi and Frost continued to focus on the battle situation in front of them.

Greta and Patrick have already locked hands.

From a strength point of view, as the archbishop, Grayata should have an absolute advantage. But the spike that sneaked up on him before had a strong death energy on it. While the death energy eroded his body, it constantly conflicted with the light energy in his body, greatly reducing Greyata's combat effectiveness.

Patrick struck at Graiata with a light blade, but Graiata dodged it with difficulty.

Grayata tried to fight back, but the Holy Light energy in his body was not stable, and the death energy always interrupted his spell casting at critical moments, which meant that he could only succeed once every two or three times he cast a spell.

But even so, Gray Tower's attacks are still very accurate, and it can be seen that his usual fighting skills must not be bad.

After several consecutive attacks, Gray Tower dodged them, and a look of impatience appeared on Patrick's face: "Trouble..."

After the words fell, Patrick's original casting movement changed, and he smoothly drew a mysterious symbol in the air. . At the same time, along with the movements of his hands, he chanted a complex and difficult prayer.

When Grayata, who was confronting him, saw this, he couldn't help but his eyes widened: "How is it possible?! How could you know God's Punishment!"

God's Punishment is a high-level magic within the Bresse Cult, which is generally only used by those with extremely high status or Only clergymen who have made outstanding contributions to Bresse will be taught by the Pope personally. As a bishop, how can Patrick, who has outstanding achievements but not outstanding achievements, master such advanced magic? !

Patrick raised the corners of his mouth, but did not answer the question. A bright light was released from the top of his staff, illuminating the entire basement with light, like a miracle.

The bright light suddenly rushed towards Gray Tower, knocking his body away. It rushed out for a long way, and finally hit the wall hard. The rough wall suffered such an impact, and the white dust on the wall fluttered down, staining Gray Tower's gorgeous white robe.

"Cough..." Grayata coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Due to the infection of death energy, his blood is a lifeless dark red, and the temperature is also cold. It is no longer as hot as a living person, and it has a hint of a dead end.

One of Grayata's hands became as black as charcoal because the death energy had eroded his body before, hindering the energy movement in his body and turning part of his limbs into corpses. When the zombie body is attacked by light energy, it will suffer double the damage like the undead.

Oops...

A sense of danger arose in Greata's heart. If he continues like this, he will turn into a corpse more and more seriously under the erosion of the death energy, and his attacks will definitely weaken. This will affect Pat in front of him. For Rick, the opportunities are getting better and better.

Patrick walked towards Gray Tower step by step. He gently tapped the palm of his other hand with the priest's staff in his hand, looking very leisurely.

A smile appeared on his face: "Do you want to know how I learned God's Punishment? Mr. Archbishop."

"..." Grayata looked at him and did not answer.

It's obvious that the purpose of this sentence is just to tease or humiliate.

"Hahahahaha..." Patrick laughed. "Silence is a good way to deal with it, because I won't tell you at all."

As he said this, he took out a small crystal clear bottle from the storage ring. . The small bottle is very beautifully made and is inlaid with golden patterns and a sun symbol that symbolizes the Bresse religion.

Grayata's pupils shrank, he was familiar with this, it was a bottle specially used to hold holy spring water.

In this way, Patrick poured the holy spring water from the bottle on him in front of Gray Tower.

Grayata tried to dodge, but it was difficult to support his body. The punishment from God just now had destroyed the corpse part of his body. Like a blackened hand, he was unable to control his body at all. Make a dodge move.

"Tsk——"

The holy spring water contains pure light energy. The moment it comes into contact with Grayata, it begins to corrode his body contaminated with death energy like strong acid. Grayata's body gradually melts, and his blood It was evaporated into mist, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

In a short period of time, Grayata's legs had been corroded by the holy spring water, the skin and flesh melted away, and the bones turned into liquid, leaving only the empty trousers, which looked very desolate under the cover of the gorgeous archbishop's uniform.

"Well..." Grayata fell to the ground, struggling feebly. He never thought that the holy spring water that he regarded as a holy object would cause him such pain one day.

So, is this how the purified undead feel?

"Hehehehe..." Seeing the tragic situation of Grayata, Patrick laughed happily again. After admiring Grayata's pain at the moment, he slowly said: "Oh, I can't let you die like this. Oh, the Archbishop's death will alarm the Pope, which will be troublesome."

After saying that, he reached out and roughly grabbed Grayata's long, messy flaxen hair, and lifted him up from the ground.

Greta spoke with difficulty: "What... do you want... to do?"

There was a trace of pity in Patrick's eyes: "What a pity, you will never understand the truth of the world..."

Grejata was puzzled: " What...the truth?"

Patrick just smiled and said nothing. He put away his staff, held a bead with his free hand, and drew a mysterious magic circle on Greata's forehead.

At the same time, he was reciting a difficult-to-pronounce incantation. Just listening to the incantation from a distance would make people feel chills running down their spines. It was obviously not a good thing.

When Patrick finally finished reciting the spell, the magic circle in his hand was also completed simultaneously.

Then, Grayata's soul was suddenly pulled out of his body and forcibly put into the bead.

Patrick looked at the beads that had deepened in color, nodded with satisfaction, and then casually let go of his hand, letting Grayata's body fall to the ground with a "bang" sound.

The body that has lost its soul can no longer resist the erosion of the death energy. Blue lines are extending crazily on his skin, and the gray color with death energy is also spreading simultaneously. It will probably not be long before Grayata's body will change. A living corpse that cannot think and has no emotions.

Patrick put away the beads and turned towards the closed basement door.

Seeing the magic circle set up by Gray Tower on the gate to protect everyone, he showed a disdainful smile, took out a golden dagger and stabbed the magic circle hard.

As soon as the magic circle touched the golden dagger, it flickered a few times and then went out like a candlelight in the strong wind.

Patrick put away the dagger with satisfaction and reached out to push the door open.

"S-Sir... I, what should we do?" On a certain floor of the basement, a villager who was hiding cautiously poked his head out and asked. He was far away from the battle circle below. He didn't hear the previous conversation between the two bishops. He only felt that the sound of the battle had disappeared, so he boldly asked.

"What should I do?" Patrick seemed to be in a good mood and turned to look at where the voice came from. "You can pray and wait for God to save you."

"..." The villagers were a little stunned. The style of this answer was similar to that of Greata before. It's too different.

The villagers were unwilling to give in and hoped to get some promise: "Mr. Bishop Patrick..."

But at this time, Patrick had no intention of comforting these cutely ignorant villagers. He stepped out of the basement door with leisurely steps.

The villagers looked confused. There seemed to be something wrong with this development...

but what exactly was wrong?

He bravely took a look at Archbishop Grayata's body, which seemed to be moving, and couldn't help but shudder. Forget it, let's hide first...

Xiao Zhi and Frost exchanged a look, They stood up at the same time in tacit agreement and quietly followed Patrick in front.

On the way, Xiao Zhi discovered that the living corpses around him would not attack Patrick at all. They seemed to be seeing the same kind of people and turned a blind eye to him.

Xiao Zhi signaled to Frost with his eyes: This guy must have done it.

Frost nodded, understanding the look in his eyes without any difficulty. Although most of the memories are gone, the familiarity and tacit understanding between the two are still there and have not faded because of hundreds of years.

They followed Patrick all the way forward, and there were many corpses lying on the roadside, mostly villagers, but also including the two bishops they had seen before.

There were no traces of being chewed by living corpses on their bodies. There was only a long, narrow and deep scar on their necks, which looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon. Living zombies can only use weapons when they reach the level of Dana's tomb. These low-level zombies in the church are not that powerful. Judging from the current situation, only living people can make such attacks.

Xiao Zhi speculated that it might be Patrick's killer who had been hiding among the believers. As everyone was advancing, he suddenly attacked the unsuspecting bishop, and then killed the ordinary villagers around him.

This is probably why the disappearance of Grayata has become an unsolved case, because most of the people who knew it have been solved, and Patrick, a young man like him, can't honestly say "Yes, I did it" after he goes out.

The truth was buried like this.

Facing the tragic situation along the way, Patrick didn't show any expression. Although his back was turned and his expression could not be seen, his pace was still brisk, and his mood did not seem to be affected at all.

Patrick walked all the way to a remote place, and finally stopped in front of a bare wall.

Then, Xiao Zhi saw him open a mechanism on the wall, and then revealed a downward passage. Patrick looked around and saw no one following him. He didn't even bother to close the door and just walked into the dark passage.

The two of them happened to follow him into the secret passage.

The secret passage leads all the way down to a very deep place.

Finally, Patrick reached the bottom. This is a room that is as big as a hall. It looks empty. There is only a table in the middle. There is a magic circle painted on the table and a box with mysterious patterns on it.

Patrick took out the bead that had previously sucked out Grayata's soul, and opened the box with his other hand.

There is a book in the box. The cover is white and full of patterns, but there is no text on it. It looks a bit thick and seems to be a strange kind of leather.

Patrick opened the book and placed the bead on the open inside page.

The next moment, the page of the book flickered with a burst of white light, and the light enveloped the beads, seeming to swallow something inside.

Vaguely, I seemed to hear Greyata's wailing coming from it, but I couldn't hear it clearly if I listened carefully.

After a while, the light disappeared, the beads returned to their previous color, and a picture appeared on the originally blank page.

It was pitch black, with large swathes of shadows, in which silhouettes of humans and monsters seemed to be vaguely visible. In the far corner of the picture, you can see a lying figure. The simple picture cannot describe his features, but it clearly shows that he has no legs.

Patrick showed a satisfied smile: "Good night, Grayata, I wish you a good dream in the Book of Dreamers."

Looking at this weird picture, it must be a pretty good "dream", I hope Grayata You can enjoy it.

Patrick closed the book and put it back into the box with the magic circle engraved on it.

Then he activated the magic circle below, and the originally quiet and ordinary platform instantly became like a big mouth, swallowing the entire box in, until it was hidden deep underground.

Then, Patrick took out a red crystal. The crystal was crystal clear on the outside, but it seemed like lava was flowing inside. This is a crystal that has sealed high-level fire energy. As long as the energy in it is released, it will instantly become a raging fire.

Patrick threw the crystal towards the corner of the room. In an instant, the fire began to spread in the room, and the high temperature occupied the room, swallowing up everything in sight.

A bright shield of light appeared around Patrick, isolating him from the daunting heat.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhi discovered that Patrick's figure changed little by little in the flames.

The originally straight back gradually became rickety, the black curly hair also faded little by little, and eventually turned gray. The originally round figure swelled again and became a little bloated.

This is - Andre? !

It turns out that the person who secretly attacked Greata was not his trusted subordinate, but Andre, who was confronting him tit for tat!

As for what happened to Patrick...

Judging from the fate of other bishops and believers, if this man was not a young man, Xiao Zhi guessed that he would have met with misfortune long ago. After all, Andre is a ruthless guy through and through, and there is no reason to let go of this person who is both Greata's right-hand man and who may expose himself.

Andre took out the teleportation crystal with a smile on his face: "Disappear in history forever, Greta..."

Then, his figure disappeared.

The fire spread rapidly, and went up the passage, climbing at an irresistible speed, until it rushed in front of Xiao Zhi and Frost.

When Xiao Zhi was about to pull Frost away, he suddenly felt darkness in front of him.

The next moment, the heat wave felt on the skin subsided, and the first ray of sunshine in the morning came into view simultaneously.

Its daybreak.

The copy of Caesar's Church is also over.

You can smell the fresh smell of weeds on the tip of your nose. There is dew that has settled overnight in the air. It smells a bit moist. It dispels the smell of blood that previously enveloped the entire senses, making people want to take a deep breath.

Xiao Zhi also took a deep breath subconsciously. The fresh morning air filled his lungs, bringing a feeling of relief.

He looked around, looking at this quiet deserted village, and suddenly felt a little cold. It turned out that... the people here were all massacred, died in the church they believed in, and died in the game of the superior archbishops.

Xiao Zhi still remembers what Andre said to Greata, what does "the truth of the world" mean? Do they know this is a game world?

Or...are there any unexplored parts of Zero's setting? How does this relate to Andre's actions?

Seeing that Xiao Zhi was in a daze, Frost patted his shoulder gently: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Zhi came back to his senses, looked at Frost's particularly attractive face bathed in the morning light, and shook his head: "No, I was just thinking about Andre."

Could "The Truth of the World" be related to Frost?

But now he doesn't remember anything, so naturally he doesn't know the answer to this question.

Xiao Zhi said: "Let's go, let's go find the Dream Maker's Book, I hope it's still buried underground."

With that, he prepared to go deeper into the church.

Frost stepped forward and stopped him.

Xiao Zhi looked at Frost with puzzled eyes, but unexpectedly saw a small box with a simple appearance appearing in front of him. It was obvious that it was for him.

"Huh?" Xiao Zhi reached out and took it.

When you open it, you will find a box of neatly arranged snacks inside. Each snack is exquisitely shaped and perfectly matched in color. With the rich milky fragrance at the moment of opening, you can't help but move your index fingers.

Xiao Zhi pointed to one of the biscuits that looked like Alifa: "Did you make it?"

Frost nodded.

Xiao Zhi looked at the particularly stupid Alifa biscuit and asked, "When did you make it? Why didn't I know?"

Frost's eyes brought a little warmth: "Before I set out here, I was afraid that you might feel uncomfortable on the way. "It's boring, but you prepared the pie yourself and didn't take it out."

Xiao Zhi smiled. He was worried that Frost would be bored on the road, so he bought a red heart tart, while Frost was worried that he would be bored, so he prepared some snacks. They really thought of going together.

Frost said: "Eat it for breakfast, it won't be new if you put it down again."

"Come on, let's go together." Xiao Zhi pulled him, found a flat place to sit down, and used his skills to make a water polo After washing their hands, the two shared the snacks.

Xiao Zhi took a piece of pastry with puff pastry, took a bite, and showed a satisfied smile.

It has to be said that although Frost produced a lot of dark dishes in the early days that could be lifted to heaven after eating them, his cooking skills have become very good later, and he will definitely make a lot of money even if he opens a shop.

It's a pity that I can only think about it. Who would dare to eat the snacks made by Lord Hessen except Xiao Zhi.

"This is delicious!"

"Yeah."

"This is delicious too!"

"All for you."

"Ason, why did you make Arifa so stupid?"

"...It is stupid to begin with."

The two of them said We get together like this, just like we did many years ago, eating snacks and chatting, whether the background is the weird black forest or the eerie cathedral.
