Chapter 85 Race against time
too slow.
Standing on the altar, looking at the busy cultists below, the black robe had a gloomy face. He stretched out his hand and looked at the flickering light of the flame in his palm, which seemed to reflect his mood at the moment.
Generally, the dark red light between the gaps in the palms gradually becomes brighter.
According to the plan, that idiot should have brought the captives to this ruined city. Why is there no trace of him yet? Could it be that something happened to him? Or is it because he encountered some trouble and was delayed? It shouldn't be possible? That
The guy keeps his own communication skills. If he encounters any problems, he should contact himself as soon as possible...
Of course, the Destruction Mage doesn't know that the Bald Mage Charles naturally wants to contact him, but the problem is that his brain has been invaded and locked by Nimfu, so that he is now unable to use even any magical means. This is why until
So far, the reason why the Mage of Destruction still knows nothing about what happened in the camp.
However, it's almost time to reach the limit.
"Snapped."
The Mage of Destruction stood up and snapped his fingers. Soon, he saw a little demon hovering in the sky flying up and kneeling respectfully in front of the Mage of Destruction.
"You go see what happened to that idiot."
Upon hearing the order of the Destruction Mage, the little demon let out a low cry, then spread its wings and flew into the air. After turning around in a circle, it turned around and flew towards the mountains.
"Trouble."
At the same time, Fang Zheng also learned about the developments there through Nimfu's report.
"The other party seems to have become suspicious. They sent a little demon to check the situation in the camp."
"It's not easy to delay it for so long... What should I do? Do you want me to send someone to intercept that little monster?"
"You'd better not do this."
As soon as Shi Dong finished speaking, the skinny old man wearing a bishop's robe shook his head with a gloomy face.
"The little monster is summoned by the summoner. There is telepathy between them. Once you take action, even if you kill the little monster, as long as it is noticed by the destruction mage, everything we have done will be in vain."
"What should we do?"
Hearing the old man's answer, Shi Dong frowned.
"We can't just let it go and explore. That little monster discovered the camp..."
"give it to me."
However, before Shi Dong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man.
"I'm going to deal with that little monster. This should buy us some time, but..."
After saying this, the old man took a look at the sky.
"If the reinforcements haven't appeared by the time the Guiding Star appears, then we will have to take action. Once the Destruction Mage notices that something is wrong, things will surely become more complicated..."
"All right."
After hearing the old man's answer, Stone thought for a moment and finally nodded helplessly.
"That's all. Please be careful."
"Do not worry."
Facing Shi Dong's words, a gloomy smile appeared on the old man's cold face.
"I have lived longer than you. This kind of thing couldn't be easier for me."
"Whoosh!"
I saw a pair of dark, bat-like wings suddenly sprouting from behind the old man. At the same time, the old man's tall and thin body, which was originally like a dried specimen, began to swell, and his white hair began to turn black. It was just that
In the blink of an eye, the old man who looked tall and thin, almost in his twilight years, turned into a handsome and handsome man, and the expression on his face at this moment no longer had the cold and repulsive look before.
He looks thousands of miles away, but with a gentle and elegant smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
I saw the "old" bishop smiling and nodding to Fang Zheng, then he spread his wings and soared into the sky as fast as lightning.
What the hell?!
Fang Zheng stared at the "old" bishop's retreating figure in stunned silence, his mouth wide open and he didn't know what to say. He blinked, and then looked at Shi Dong beside him.
Obviously, he needs an answer.
"I'm surprised."
Shi Dong obviously enjoyed Fang Zheng's reaction. At this moment, he looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, and then answered.
"Although Bishop Carl is serious and rigid, he is a vampire count and a devout believer in the temple."
“…………There are still vampires in the temple?”
Fang Zheng only felt that all the novels he had read before were fake novels.
"certainly."
Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Shi Dong nodded.
"The Temple of Order maintains order. We welcome all like-minded members to act with us to protect order. Regardless of race, occupation, or origin. As long as you are willing to protect order and be the enemy of chaos, you are ours.
friend."
"But...aren't vampires supposed to suck blood?"
Fang Zheng was completely unable to understand it at this moment.
"Of course, ordinary vampires need blood, but a devout believer like Bishop Carl has been able to obtain enough power from the holy light, so unless it is a critical moment, he does not need blood."
"That means there are many vampires in the temple?"
Wow, this temple is so big.
"of course not."
Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Shi Dong shook his head.
"In fact, only a small number of vampires can resist the temptation of blood to join the temple and become one of us. Most of them cannot leave the power and happiness that blood brings them, and they cannot abandon this evil behavior.
Therefore, we only accept those vampires who share our goals and are willing to abandon this bad habit to become our companions."
"Then... aren't you worried that they will say one thing and do another?"
"Of course not. While gaining power through the Holy Light, these vampires will also make sacred oaths. Once they betray their oaths, the Holy Light in their bodies will turn into flames and burn these oath-breakers to ashes. Of course.
, this is not limited to vampires.”
"I see……"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded. He finally understood what Shi Dong meant. In other words, if vampires are compared to drug addicts, then the temple is more like a drug rehabilitation center. If a vampire wants to quit this
"Addicted to drugs", then the temple will help them and become their companions. Of course, this is only limited to those vampires who are willing to actively accept the guidance of the Holy Light of Order (Stonian language), as for those who are still immersed in blood and power
Vampires are also their targets.
"What about the lich?"
"Liches are different."
As soon as this topic was brought up, Shi Dong's expression suddenly became serious.
"Vampires can be forgiven because many of them were forced to become vampires, but lichs are different. They actively gave up their lives and transformed into immortal beings. Liches play with the souls of mortals and make them
There is no peace, this is behavior that will never be allowed, so necromancers and lichs have always been our targets."
"I see………"
After hearing this, Fang Zheng finally had a clear understanding of the attitude of the Temple. It is obvious that the Temple's judgment of who is their enemy does not simply rely on their origins, but more on their behavior. Just like
Liches and necromancers, the reason why the temple eliminated them was not because of their identities, but because of their sinful behavior of playing with the sleeping dead... Well, thinking of this, Founder decided to destroy the souls of Malthael and Arthas.
The deeper the stone is hidden...it seems that in the main world, these two can never be used again.
The vampire bishop's movements were obviously very fast. It didn't take long for Fang Zheng and Stone to see him return again. But the difference from before was that this time there was a little demon following behind the old bishop. But at this moment, this little demon
It completely lost the cunning and ferocious look that Fang Zheng had seen before. Instead, his eyes were dull and he looked like a puppet. Well, considering that the old bishop was a vampire, Fang Zheng felt that he had already guessed his feelings for the little one.
What did the devil do?
The crisis has been temporarily lifted, but the situation has not improved.
Time passed minute by minute until nightfall, and reinforcements finally arrived at the last moment.
However, they brought news that surprised everyone even more.
Chapter completed!
