Chapter 257 255. Test me?
The magic array of the arm armor on Su Hong's left arm flickered slowly like breathing, and Helena suddenly said: "The soul index in this area has increased abnormally. Managers, please proceed with caution."
Su Hong asked: "What does the increase in soul index mean? Is it different from the last time?"
Helena: "Last time, Helena was not equipped with sensors related to soul detection and could not sense it."
"Reminder, when crowds gather and ghosts appear in the current area, the soul index will also increase abnormally."
"You mean there are ghosts in Dawn City?"
Su Hong's eyes instantly became alert. After this morning's encounter with the Eastern Expedition Corps, his attitude towards these ghosts became more cautious.
"Go and have a look first."
He waved his hand, and strong winds blew across the earth. He and eight strong corpses were carried by the wind and flew quickly towards the giant wall.
"Bang!" At a height of more than ten meters, the shadow turned into a huge fist and shattered the ice and snow frozen on the wall as well as the windows. He and the corpses entered the giant building.
This time, in order to prevent the corpses from being randomly teleported into the Holy City, he quickly set up a sacrificial magic circle on the ground, then clasped his hands together and prayed: "The Great Lord of Redeemer."
"The Great Lord of Redeemer." The corpse ghost clasped his hands together and sang.
Buzz... The magic array emits a bright golden light, like the light leaking from the golden river of the Holy City.
"I am a sinner walking in the world. Please forgive my sins, send salvation, and open the door to the kingdom of God."
The corpses surrounded Su Hong and knelt on one knee, "Deliver salvation and open the door to the Kingdom of God."
"Boom!" The golden light exploded instantly, drowning everyone's figures.
Su Hong raised his hand to cover the light. After a long time, the dazzling light gradually dissipated.
He put down his arms and squinted his eyes to look around. Strangely, all the corpses disappeared, and only he appeared in the corridor completely made of golden light.
"Where is this?" he asked doubtfully.
Helena made a voice: "Warning, the mental network connection is interrupted, and the coordinates of Oleg and the remaining corpses cannot be traced."
"Manager, the mysterious force has shifted the path of the magic circle, please be careful."
"Someone interfered with my transmission?"
Su Hong was shocked. No wonder Oleg and the others disappeared. He asked, "Do you have a way to leave here?"
Helena: "Helena cannot interpret this scene, please ask the administrator for more information."
"Forget it, let's move on."
"Since that person sent us here, he must have some purpose to achieve. Just go and see it and you will know."
"If they are from the cult, then deal with them directly."
Su Hong took steps, and the ground of the golden corridor rippled like water. The deeper he went, the golden light gradually dissipated, replaced by bare ground and natural sunlight.
The dry smell of earth and the noisy sound penetrated his nose and ears, and he stopped abruptly. The golden light completely dispersed, and the stone walls, solemn and sharp buildings, and the patrolling and training knights were completely revealed.
Before Su Hong could realize where he was, someone approached from behind him.
"Well, there are actually new knights coming in?"
"Is the Holy City War over?"
With a thought in his mind, Su Hong turned around and looked into the eyes of a group of undead men wearing modern-style armor.
"Ancient armor, the same as those of knights."
"No, wait a minute."
Someone in the crowd raised their hands, "Everyone, get out of the way and let me in!"
A young knight squeezed in. He looked at Su Hong and refused to let go of any detail. The knight seemed to have confirmed something and said in surprise: "You are the senior of the Knights Temple, Knight Scott, right?"
"Knight Scott?" The immortals were stunned.
"You're not talking about the Templar boss who fought against the Order but disappeared for an unknown reason for a long time."
Su Hong showed an unexpected look, "Ten years have passed. Does anyone still know me?"
"Are you really?!" The young knight was so excited that he even forgot about etiquette and said in a trembling tone: "Senior, I... I grew up listening to your stories."
"Your iconic rusty and worn-out armor, as well as your figure, are firmly in my mind. If you don't believe me, I'll draw it for you right now."
"Really that big shot?!" Everyone was surprised.
"I'm saved. I can finally get out."
Su Hong couldn't help but have a headache when meeting such a fanatical knight. He helped the young knight up and said, "No, please answer my first question first. What is your name?"
The young knight blushed, "My name is Ma Feng. I come from the Knights Temple. I passed the official examination in 2034."
"Very good, second question, where is this place and what are you doing here?"
Ma Feng organized his thoughts, calmed down his excitement, and said clearly: "A few days ago, we followed the Dawn Army to attack the Holy City. However, the moment we entered the Holy City, we were interfered by mysterious forces and entered here."
"We also found the undead people who disappeared after contacting ghosts before. They are also here."
"According to what those ancient knights said, where we are now is the Knights Temple in the history of disaster."
"Knight's Temple?" Su Hong looked around. These medieval-style buildings were indeed different from modern ones.
He frowned, "In other words, you are trapped here and can't get out?"
"It's true that we are trapped here..." Ma Feng's tone became hesitant, and he whispered awkwardly: "Actually, we can't beat the knight in front of us."
"The palace master and those powerful sword-holders have passed the test of the ancient knights and entered deeper. Only us are left here."
"Some people speculate that if you can pass all the knights' tests, you might be able to leave."
The Knight's Test...where is this place?
At first, Su Hong thought that his entry here was a conspiracy trap of the religious order, but now it seems that this place seems to be related to the Knights Temple and the Eastern Expedition Legion.
What do these wandering ghosts want to do after they return to the earth?
There was too little information, and Su Hong couldn't analyze it.
He turned and looked forward, ignoring everyone, and saw the knight being trained. Perhaps after passing the so-called test, he could get the truth behind it?
"You stay here." Su Hong warned the people behind him and walked towards the training knights.
"Here they come, guess how many tricks senior can use to defeat them."
"I guess it takes three moves. The sword holder needs more than ten moves to deal with it. These knights are difficult to deal with."
Ma Feng joined the discussion, "I think it only takes one move."
"Shh, don't talk, don't disturb senior's performance."
Su Hong came to a stop in front of the Templar Knights and said, "Are you the ones testing me?"
The knights who were still training suddenly stopped and looked at Su Hong together.
Everyone watching the battle held their breath. Just when they thought the battle was about to break out, the forty Templar knights present retracted their swords, knelt down on one knee, and saluted: "Sir, please continue to move forward."
Su Hong nodded slightly, walked through the knights, and left the training ground.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
That's not right.
This doesn't even require a move.
