Chapter 71 The blood-stained church

The spring night is still very cold.

Although there is a stove in the castle guest room, after all, it is not in winter, and Sivi would not deliberately make a fire to keep warm.

He lay on the soft double bed wrapped in a thick quilt, looking at the curtain on the top of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Today, Tio did not come to his room, but slept next door with Alisa. Except for being used to living in this castle, they probably didn't want to let Sivi continue to sleep on the sofa because of their willfulness.

Although both little girls are too immature and are immature in their behavior and thoughts, there is only one thing that is beyond doubt - they are all good girls who can think about others.

No matter what, even if something unexpected happened, Siwei, who was sleeping next door, should be able to find out and rush over immediately, so he had nothing to worry about.

What really worries him was something else.

Judging from the information about the lord's wife brought back by the insect not long ago, he unfortunately said the border was: the lord's wife received a remote communication magic for help at noon. Yesterday, many orcs suddenly emerged outside the Fortress of Lorences, which was the gate of the eastern plains, and began to attack the fortress.

The mage team of the Border Guard Corps was also in a dilemma of being beaten by many shamans because of the departure of several core personnel. In short, the situation was very bad.

It was precisely to prevent the fortress from falling, the great magician Sharon Lange left Horadur and set out towards Fortress Lorences.

The magicians who finally arrived at Horadur had no time to go to the city to take a break and take a breath, and because of the opponent's surprise attack on the fortress, they had to turn around and set off again and start rushing back to the fortress in turmoil.

The Holy See also had to organize a rescue team to rush to the battlefield, so it could only postpone the ruling against Wickron.

In this way, His Highness’s plan must be postponed.

"Oh..." Sighed a long sigh, and Siwei sat up from the bed. For some reason, he had been irritated and restless since the afternoon, and always felt as if something was about to happen.

It’s around 10:00 to 11:00 in the middle of the night, but today’s dungeons have been used up, so if you want to download the dungeon, you can only wait for a while.

He put on his robe, sat on the sofa and poured some water for himself, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room with his cup and opened the glass window.

With the unique kind of spring night, which is not very cold but also very pissing, Civ trembled, while drinking a sip of steaming boiling water, looking at the night view of Horadur.

There are magic weapons similar to electric lights in this world, but the energy consumption of that thing is not affordable to ordinary people. In addition to the kerosene lamps that are a bit like lanterns, there are only candles or ordinary oil lamps.

Therefore, although Horadur is the capital and economic center of Noeleg, if you look over, the night is not as beautiful as the small town in Sivy's previous life... at least there is no bright lights at all. Compared with the night of the city, the galaxy in the sky may be more beautiful and spectacular.

However, at this time, Xiwei looked at a white building not far away with a strange look.

It is the Cathedral of Horadur and the regional headquarters of the Holy See in Noíger. Almost all the senior officials of the church in Noíger came out of this church.

However, at this time, this magnificent building, which looked like the Milan Cathedral, emitted an extremely strange fluctuation to the outside.

This fluctuation is very weak, and Siwei cannot even tell whether this fluctuation is considered a magic fluctuation. Neither magical elements nor magic seem to have any reaction to this fluctuation, so even a magician will find it difficult to detect it. If Siwei had not been to see the night view on a whim, and the church was just opposite the lord castle, he might not have noticed it.

What made him even more alert was that as he tried to sense this fluctuation, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart expanded.

Just go and have a look.

Siwei made a quick decision. He put down the water cup, and while buttoning the buttons of his robe, he directly activated the traction anchor to pull himself from the balcony to the entrance of the church.

Because he didn't know what would happen, he didn't plan to call Alisa and Teo - even if there wasn't any at any time, it wouldn't be a good thing if the priests found someone slipping into the church at night. If he was the only one, it would be more convenient to escape...

To be honest, although Xiwei's movement method was very fast and efficient, it was not worthy of praise. The strong wind mercilessly poured cold air into Xiwei's robe. When Xiwei switched magic to the hand of a mage to catch him to prevent him from hitting the long ladder unique to religious buildings, he felt that his body was almost frozen and unconscious.

Rubbing his hands and legs hard, Siwei walked up to the church door carefully while worried about whether he would catch a cold or something.

Originally, there should be two temple guards equivalent to the Demon Swordsman at any time, but there was no one here at this moment.

This phenomenon made Sivi more sure that there had been some kind of change in the church.

The Holy See in this world is different from the vassals that are hidden in many online novels, which are no different from the underworld. Although some lower-ranking priests will use various names to cheat money, they will not do anything that is marked as taboo by doctrines - such as rape, alcoholism, killing innocent people in addition to sanctions, and not saving them when they can - because unlike the magic of magicians, the magical energy "holy light" of clergy, such as priests, all come from their own beliefs.

By the way, what they believe in is not the fictitious God of Light, but the more essential divine light.

When their actions violate the doctrine, the Holy Light will give them corresponding punishments, at the least, at the least, at the end of life.

That is why the clergymen are respected and trusted by everyone, at least they don’t have to worry about stabbing you in the back.

In this regard, if Xiwei can use magic power to launch sacred magic, the magic academy system has violated the rules of the world to some extent.

In short, leaving the office without permission while guarding the church is considered disrespectful to the Holy Light and will be punished. I think those temple guards have not yet become so bold, so what happened in the church is a foregone conclusion.

Although Xiwei himself did not want to be involved in any strange things, it was too close to the lord castle. If it was left alone, it might affect the castle later.

After convinced himself with the reason of "It's Tio's castle soon, so I can't ignore it." Siwei walked to the door on tiptoe, holding the Dark Night Sky Ball with one hand and preparing to cast spells at any time, while pushing the door with the other hand.

He didn't think that he could open the door so simply. Even if the church does not have the habit of locking the door at night, if someone does shameful things inside, he will definitely not open it like that without locking the door, right?

But the problem is that Xiwei pushed the door open easily without any hope...

“…”

Should I thank those in the church for oiling the door shafts on time so I didn’t let them make sounds like “crunch” and “crunch” that would attract the other party’s attention?

Xiwei complained in her heart with laughter and cry, and then looked inside from the door.

The huge and empty church is filled with benches for people to worship, and the walls are covered with various decorations full of religious meaning. The high dome and the huge cross in front give the entire church a mysterious religious atmosphere, a sense of solemnity and oppression.

At the front desk, a figure stood there with its back facing Xiwei. The moonlight shone through the stained glass of the dome, casting a cold light, covering the figure like a tulle.

However, this picture-like scene had no beauty at all, because an unknown magic was rising above the figure. This magic that seemed to be full of blood and cruelty destroyed the solemn and holy atmosphere around it. The huge contrast made the church front desk feel a strange horror, and the fact that highlighted this effect was the several corpses lying at the feet of the figure.

Although it is not clear because of the distance and the dark environment, it can be seen from the rough style of the corpse costumes that they were originally left-behind clergy in this church.

Has the other party discovered himself?

Sivi gritted his teeth, then activated the shadow servant of the Dark Night Skyball, allowing a little black thing to blend into the dark surroundings, and tiptoed towards the other party.

As long as you can get close to a certain distance and then suddenly attack, you will definitely attract the other party's attention. At that time, it will be a chance for Xiwei to conduct an assault.

Although it is late at night and the main force of the church has left Horadur, the night watchmen will definitely not be much stronger, but it is not easy to solve them without disturbing anyone... At least Sivi cannot do it now.

Therefore, the chance of winning head-on battles should be very small, so you can only try to conduct a surprise attack.

Success in the surprise attack is certainly a good thing. If it fails, the magic that depends on one's own should be able to escape. At that time, it would be a way to lead the opponent to the Horadur branch of the Seven Stars Mage Association.

However, before the Shadow servant was halfway through, the other party turned around and released an unknown purple magic to smash the Shadow servant into pieces.

But in this way, Sivi also saw clearly the other party's face exposed to the moonlight.

"Wicklen…Green?"
