Chapter 575 Priest (please vote!)
"Is the truth hidden in Matthew's land..."
Chen Lun murmured.
He was actually quite curious about the past history of the underground world, and his subconscious told him that there were mysteries hidden in that dark place.
There are few men, female dominance, and the "Red Mother" that circulates light on its own hangs high in the dome. Most of the female residents named "Dark Descendants" were born from the so-called "underground river", and their blood is deeply imprinted with the inability to return to the surface. Curse...
A sense of profound and dusty history fills the place.
At that time, Chen Lun, who first came to the land of Matthew, was still very weak, unable to do many things, and unable to access high-level secrets, but it was different now.
He is already a demigod.
I dare not say that I am invincible in the underground world, but I definitely have no problem in protecting myself.
Chen Lun's mind was wandering and he planned to go there again.
Although the reward for this task entrusted by Princess Anna is average, the experience points required for him to reach the level of [Dramatist] are quite terrifying, and he cannot let go of any opportunity easily.
Moreover, he himself wanted to find out the truth.
Maybe there will be some unexpected gains...

The land of the royal city, Gonzalo.
This is a suburb located southeast of Tourmaline Kloster, more than two hundred kilometers away from the royal city. It is neither prosperous nor deserted, but it can be said to be a peaceful countryside.
"Gonzalo" is actually a homophonic pronunciation of the common language of the empire. It is actually derived from the ancient Yanita language and has multiple meanings such as "chasing the light", "feeling the warmth" and "tranquility".
But not many people know this now, and even the local elders may have rarely heard of it.
There are many villages in Gonzalo, but they are unevenly distributed. They were once settled here by a group of exiled and migrating farmers, and gradually developed into their current size.
After the population grew to a certain level, the empire built a town in the northern area of Gonzalo, which facilitated governance and management, and also helped local villagers purchase daily necessities and sell agricultural products.
at this time.
The Polaris team was walking along the country road and entered one of the villages. The villagers along the way greeted them in a friendly way, creating a strong rustic atmosphere.
"Huh... I have been busy for a long time, and I can finally rest."
The dog-headed gold took a long breath and smiled happily.
"After handing in the materials this time, I will be able to advance to level 80! Finally, I won't hold you back, and I will soon be able to start the Sequence Six promotion task!"
In the current team, the highest level one is still Polaris, with Level 101 Sequence Six far ahead.
Although he had gone to the Byron Kingdom to study with Teacher Jack for a period of time, his level did not fall far behind, and on the contrary, his strength had improved.
Others such as Dongyang, Pumpkin, and Chen Xi are already Sequence Six Transcendents, with levels around 85. The remaining horse people, Tutu, are generally at level 80 and are doing promotion tasks.
"Haha, if my mother and Keying hadn't discovered this place, how could you have been promoted so quickly?"
Ouyin sneered.
The dog-headed gold opened his mouth, but this time he was really unable to refute.
Some time ago, Su Keying and Wei Yin happened to come to Gonzalo for an investigation mission, intending to investigate the strange "earthquake event", but to no avail.
However, he discovered that there was a special clergy NPC in the village. He didn't even have a name, he was just called "Priest of Gonzalo".
This priest hates evil and often helps villagers, and is deeply loved by the locals.
At the same time, he also hates polluting creatures.
As long as the player can hand in the kill certificate, he can receive a generous sum of experience points from the priest... This kind of certificate can usually be replaced by scraps from contaminated creatures, which is very convenient.
The North Star team relied on this priest NPC to gain a lot of experience points.
Other players are hunting hard in the spirit world, but they are doing the same thing, but with two harvests, it is difficult not to take the lead.
And they can go to Wonderland to download the book at any time.
There are many ways to obtain experience points!
Regarding the hidden copy of "Jack's Past" in Wonderland, the strategy inside the circus has even advanced to "Chapter 2: The Black Knight".
At least tens of thousands of players have experienced this hidden dungeon, and it is still difficult. The main reason is that there are multiple camps to choose from, including the Sun Church's Lampkeeper Team, the Moon Church's Purple Moonlight Team, the Asylum Executioner Team, and Jack's protagonist team.
A battle begins around saving the black knight "Biles".
It is highly playable in multiple rounds of actual combat.
And by changing the original plot trajectory, it can also get high ratings.
However, a hidden BOSS named "Howard" will suddenly pop up in the end. If you fail to avoid the incident in advance, you will definitely be killed by him in an instant.
At least so far, no one has found a way to crack it.
Polaris Team has temporarily stopped downloading the game, and instead focused on overcoming the main missions and leveling up.
Fortunately, Wei Yin and Su Keying found such a treasure, which made their level rise feel like a rocket, and they were full of motivation every day.
I'm afraid that one day, this NPC will suddenly disappear.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"Damn foreigners!"
"The Muniz family is so pitiful that they were brutally murdered by these beasts... Father, please judge this matter!"
Polaris and his party were preparing to go to the small wooden house where the priest lived in seclusion, but found a group of villagers gathered not far ahead.
Looking closer, the four players were surrounded by angry villagers holding hatchets and pitchforks, and the crowd was furious.
The priest was among them.
He has an ordinary middle-aged appearance, wearing a white wide-brimmed hat and simple white monk's robes, and holding a white Bible in his hand.
The four players did not look panicked, but instead scanned the group of villagers with interest.
Polaris threw out a probe. These players were not high-level, only about 40, which was barely the strength of Sequence Eight. But there are just ordinary villagers around, so they really don't need to worry. If they really take action, they can easily kill the whole village.
Perhaps he was just worried about being wanted by the empire, so he didn't go on a killing spree without restraint.
"Brother Beizi?!"
"Oh, he is the top player on the ranking list!"
"Big brother, help save the day!"
The four players noticed the Polaris Team and shouted quickly.
The villagers also turned their heads and looked at Polaris and the others. Fortunately, during this period, when they submitted materials to Gonzalo, they did a lot of small tasks and got close to these villagers, so they were not regarded as their accomplices.
"Mr. Polaris, and everyone, are these four immortal strangers friends with you?"
The priest held the Bible in his hand, turned around and asked with a smile.
Polaris shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Well, that's good."
The priest groaned.
He immediately took a step forward and raised his hand to signal.
The angry villagers surrounding him suddenly became quiet, which showed that the priest's prestige was extremely high.
"Strange outsiders, do you admit the fact of killing five members of Muniz's family?"
The priest turned to look at the four players and asked in a deep voice.
"Sorry, I don't know anything."
One of the players with the ID name "Flying Mao" pretended to deny it, but he was still smiling.
The other three players also duly denied it.
The priest nodded.
Immediately he roared with a ferocious face:
"Lie!!"
He suddenly raised the Bible in his hand, as if holding a brick, and knocked it down vertically, hitting "Flying Mao" hard on the forehead.
boom! !
This Sequence 8 player's head exploded on the spot and he was instantly killed.
The white light dissipated and everyone was shocked.
The other three players did not expect that this ordinary priest in the village could be so powerful, killing his teammates instantly with one blow.
They didn't intend to surrender. After exchanging a few words on the channel, they suddenly launched a counterattack.
However, before he could use his sequence ability, the white-covered Bible had been smashed down again.
"Lying is a sin! Avoiding is cowardice!"
Bang! !
Another player's head exploded and he died suddenly.
"God said that those who intentionally kill people should be punished and listen to the teachings of the light..."
The priest moved quickly and slapped the Bible sideways in his hand, and the remaining two players were immediately killed.
After four players are eliminated.
The priest gently wiped the blood stains on the Bible with a look of compassion on his face.
"Even murderers have the right to listen to the gospel of our Lord. The devout missionaries have put your teachings into their minds."
He said a silent prayer and recited it.
"Praise the sun."
The surrounding villagers saluted with respect and satisfaction, and at the same time also said:
"Praise the sun."
Polaris and others looked at each other.
They had always thought that this priest was just an ordinary person with special characteristics, but they didn't expect to kill four Sequence 8 players in seconds.
However, the information detected is indeed only the attribute values of ordinary people, and even the level is only more than 20 levels...
All the officials were puzzled and waited for the villagers to disperse.
As if nothing had happened, they submitted the evidence of contaminating organisms to the priest as usual.
"Well done, may the light of justice always shine on you."
The priest smiled gently, not looking as ferocious as before.
He opened the Bible, recited a hymn for the members of the Polaris team, and then raised his right hand high.
There was no extraordinary phenomenon, and they received generous experience rewards one after another.
"Okay, Mr. Polaris, and all you righteous strangers, today is the Sunday of our Lord, and I need to pray daily."
The priest smiled and said goodbye to everyone in Polaris.
"As you please."
Polaris nodded in reply.
The priest turned and walked into the cabin, closing the door gently.
The players looked at his back and looked at each other.
"This priest is getting weirder and weirder..."
Inside the wooden house.
The middle-aged priest came to a simple counter. In the wooden shrine above, there was a statue of a man whose face could not be seen clearly.
The figure is shrouded in a relief of blazing fire, looking extremely solemn in the dazzling sunlight outside the window.
The priest took off his white wide-brimmed hat, revealing a shiny bald head.
His ordinary facial features maintained piety and seriousness.
Boom! !
The priest fell to his knees and kowtowed vigorously.
The whole village was shocked.
But without exception, the villagers did not make a fuss and seemed to be used to it.
The earthquake lasted for several minutes.
The priest finished the one hundred kowtows of today's service, put on his white wide-brimmed hat again, looked up at the statue, and said seriously:
"Although you are not worthy of my service, there is no other light in this world..."
The priest turned around expressionlessly.
Holding the Bible in hand, he took a step forward and disappeared into a golden light.
Only the sound remains in the wooden house:
"Similarly, although the church is not worthy of my nostalgia, without [Aries Hammer], the empire will most likely be in turmoil again..."
Thank you to the leader of "Weird Vest 314" for rewarding me again!
Thank you very much, it was a waste of money! There is also the 15,000 points rewarded by "I don't want to drive, I just want to mess around". It's a waste, thank you!
