Chapter 70 Don’t be nervous, it will affect the taste
Knight under the moon, silent in the dark night.
It was so quiet that the group could hear each other's accelerating heartbeats.
Their hearts were held tightly by a cold bone claw, and every beat brought a sharp pain, and every sharp pain accelerated the heart rate.
Looking at the death knight who suddenly appeared, Priest Simon felt an indescribable fear rising from the bottom of her heart. Her thinking was uncontrollably chaotic, and her sanity was swallowed up bit by bit.
Simon's eyes flashed, and she looked around. The sky was gloomy, rainy and foggy. She and the team members seemed to be in the kingdom of death, with all kinds of tombstones in endless sight.
The will-o'-the-wisps danced, and the cold mist twisted into ghostly figures with teeth and claws, slowly walking towards them.
Simon felt that his body was bound by something, unable to move or make a sound. He wanted to mobilize his magic power, but there was nothing in his body.
She suddenly realized that she was no longer in the God's Chosen Continent, and had been exiled to the Kingdom of Death by the Shadow Nightmare.
The Kingdom of the Goddess of Death!
According to the church's records, once killed by the Death Knight's sword, the victim's soul cannot be preserved and must arrive in the Kingdom of Death to be frozen for eternity.
Her current situation is exactly the same as in the records.
Am I dead?
When did the death knight draw his sword?
The fear of death intensified, rushing towards Simon like a huge wave. Her heartbeat accelerated wildly, and the hot blood flowing in her body became colder until the blood froze and her heart froze.
The ghost shadow passed through the bodies of the team members, taking away the numb souls one by one. In front of her eyes, a ghost claw slowly attacked, and just quietly stuck to her forehead.
She knew she couldn't escape, and her souls and those of her team members would be imprisoned in the Kingdom of Death forever.
The suffocating darkness hit, and Simon's fear reached its peak at this moment. Her reason completely collapsed, and she fainted with a scream.
Wayne looked at the female magician who fell to the ground speechlessly. What happened? She fainted after a hallucination. She was so afraid of ghosts. Why did she come to the cemetery at night?
The shadow of the famous tree of man, the death knight has a fierce reputation.
Simon, a leader who has been sitting in an office all year round, thought he had bumped into a real thing. He was so frightened that he fainted without realizing that it was just a simple mental illusion.
She has too little combat experience and shouldn't be on the front line.
In comparison, the elites of the Scalpel Agency performed well, briefly falling into hallucinations and escaping immediately, without anyone's thinking being affected.
But on the opposite side are death knights. Even though they have received professional training and can remain rational in the face of any enemy, there is still a dark cloud called fear hanging over them.
"Jiejiejiejie————"
Wayne smiled heartily and glanced at everyone: "Don't be nervous, it will affect the taste. I don't like souls who wet their pants."
The skeleton's voice was bone-chilling, like an ice knife piercing the heart. The elites were under tremendous pressure and immediately launched an attack.
They know very well that once the death knight takes action, they may not even have room to fight back.
The cross stars crossed, and the protective barrier rose from the ground. The goal was not to defend, but to block it. In the blink of an eye, a seal was built to trap the death knight and the undead war horse.
Abin roared angrily, and Wayne waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down. He curiously looked at the green barrier that stood like a solid wall, then rode forward and raised his hand to touch it.
Wayne is testing the quality of the Death Knight vest.
Although Yulia boasted that his master was omnipotent, hearsay was not as reliable as seeing it. Anyone could brag, whether it was an undead war horse or an undead mule, just pull it out for a walk and you would know. .
A few free sparring partners came to me on their own initiative. They seemed to be very capable, so they were the only ones.
Wayne waved his hand and spread a gray mist. Death collided with life and nature. Two completely opposite energies collided violently. After a brief stalemate, death was clearly superior. The powerful vitality of nature was withered, and a huge gap was eroded in the green barrier. .
Seeing this, the elites immediately launched a strong counterattack, using the advanced magic of the Church of Nature such as natural fluctuations, contracted life, protective barrier, and all things ritual.
Powerful magic fluctuations crazily rewrite reality, creating a green magical forest in the empty wasteland.
Ten thoughts shuttled through it, reshaping the shape of the forest, summoning the spirit of nature to erase the concept of death in one fell swoop.
Wayne was surrounded by gray mist, and the greenery dispersed at the touch, in turn erasing the concept of the spirit of nature.
The quality is vastly different, and no amount of quantity is a dead end.
The undead knight rode his war horse and easily walked out of the magic forest. He pulled out his bone sword and slashed through the air.
The sword light cut off the ten thoughts connected to the magic forest, interrupted their spellcasting, and severely injured the ten scalpel elites in an instant. Only one blow left them pale and unable to fight anymore.
Wayne was very disappointed that he failed to test the upper limit of the vest, but he still had to pretend to be cool. He looked at the ten scalpels and said: "Who is the captain? Come forward."
"..."
Wayne sneered: "Give you another chance, who is the captain? As long as he stands up, I will let the others live."
Still silent.
The titular captain lies unconscious on the ground, and the elites debate whether to wake each other.
"It's so boring. Your timidity and fear have made me lose interest in wielding the sword. Get lost. Your souls are worthless and you don't deserve to die under this sword." Wayne sheathed his sword and rode the undead war horse. Turn around and leave.
With a whistle, Abin jumped over the heads of the elites, wagging his tail, caught up with his master, and disappeared into the thick fog with him.
The elites were both lucky and humiliated to save a small life. They focused their dissatisfied eyes on Simon.
This priest was too weak, had zero combat experience, poor command and adaptability, and the most outrageous thing was his courage. He was actually stunned by the enemy.
The church was humiliated today and was ridiculed by the death knight. She must bear full responsibility.
"Hel Priest Simon up and report to the high priest truthfully..."
————
Wayne walked his dog in the cemetery in the first half of the night and walked his horse in the sewers in the second half of the night. During this time, he also took time to cause an elemental collapse incident. His nightlife was colorful and fulfilling.
Except that the essence of life is still suspended at 95% and the increase is negligible, there is nothing wrong with it.
He is very happy! According to the law of conservation of happiness, the total amount of happiness in the world remains unchanged, and happiness will not disappear, but will only be transferred from one person to another.
If you feel pain, someone must be basing their happiness on your pain.
For example, the high priest lady, she is in great pain right now.
Some time ago, she brought down Sidney through the Geocentric Cult, suppressed the local snakes by crossing the river, and regained the power of the high priest; two days ago, she used a little trick to put pressure on the remaining three priests, and obtained Simon's surrender.
Xifei comes from a martial arts school and firmly believes that only strong strength can control strong power. Strength comes first and then power. Simon sitting in the office does not conform to her values. But now it was time to hire people, and Heifei had no choice. Moreover, he also needed a role model, so he decided to give Simon a chance. As long as he made no mistakes, the latter could continue to serve as a priest.
It was all planned, but when the Death Knight came for real, Simon was humiliated and thrown into the enemy camp, completely proving his incompetence and no longer suitable for the priesthood.
Xifei raised her hand to her forehead and said to the timid Simon: "Submit a list and recommend three candidates you think are suitable. From now on... you can just sit in the office. I remember that your management skills are remarkable. "
Simon smiled bitterly and thanked her, turned around and walked out of the house. She was so unlucky that she would have been kicked by his heels even if she jumped off the building. The high priest gave her a chance, but she didn't take it and was taken by the death knight.
Simon has no more extravagant hopes for coming back alive.
"By the way, based on the report provided by Scalpel, I suggest you find a psychiatrist for counseling and submit the physical examination report as soon as possible." Xifei said businesslikely.
Simon's back trembled as he left, and when Xifei finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't go directly to Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum to rest, everything would be easy.
She thanked her and left quickly.
Xifei looked at the priest who couldn't help him, and felt helpless. He originally expected to set an example to the onlookers, but now it's a big joke.
Those who didn't know, thought she did it on purpose.
Xifei can completely predict that in the eyes of others, she has been defined as a dictator, and the result will be the same whether she surrenders or resists.
If you can't recruit people, you can't cultivate cronies. Without cronies, power won't be stable.
The Dark Knight is raging, and the Natural Church Windsor Division has suffered heavy losses. The existing elites are important but not many. From a political perspective, they are all the lucky ones who have picked up the fruits of victory. Their strength is not enough to match their positions.
It is unrealistic to restore the Windsor Division in a short period of time. It is still possible to make the Lundam headquarters stronger first. Heaphy first thought of Paris. We need confidants and talents. If we cannot cultivate them internally for the time being, we can do it from the outside. Draw a batch of fresh blood.
Heaphy picked up the phone with a headache and put it back after a moment. Windsor and Frank had a century-old friendship, so injecting this new blood was not a good idea.
Take her as an example. If she had not been a native of Lundan, the headquarters would not have appointed her as the high priest.
The mess was so big that Xifei was numb. After much deliberation, she still made a call to the headquarters.
The death knight appeared in Lundam and powerfully defeated a divisional priest who led the scalpel elite. Coupled with the dark knight who was hiding in the dark and coming out for activities from time to time, the Lundam headquarters was in danger. In order to ensure the interests of the church in the Kingdom of Windsor, the headquarters A group of elites must be mobilized to settle in.
The headquarters was doubtful. It was impossible for the death knights to exist in Lundan and Paris at the same time. One of them must be fake and it was very involved. They decided to send a group of elites to Lundan to assist Xiffy in investigating.
In everyone's knowledge, the death knight will not leave the underground tomb, and Lundan's death knight is most likely a fake.
The alliance of death and darkness is trying to be mysterious and must be planning something.
Be bold, this is a conspiracy, the evil alliance has evil intentions. When the Natural Church focuses all its attention on Lundan, it will invade Paris in a large scale and add the entire Frankish Kingdom to its own territory.

On the other side, upon learning that Simon had been punished, the two priests, Lawrence and Dana, burst into laughter.
"What did I say? That woman will not let us go." Lawrence mocked his former colleague. Naiveness leads to destruction. Idiots do not deserve sympathy. Everything is to blame.
"She thought she won, but within ten days she was kicked out." Dana also laughed.
The two continued to visit Sidney and asked him to come out to deal with Heaphy. They had afternoon tea for three consecutive days with no results, and they somewhat guessed Sidney's plan.
There is the Dark Knight in front and the Death Knight in the back. The airborne high priest is attacked by the two knights. If he is lucky, he loses his power and steps down. If he is unlucky, he is directly killed by the knight. Sidney does not have to do anything, just wait and feel at ease.
However, Sidney could afford to wait, but they couldn't afford to wait. Once the ten days were up, they had to pack up and get out.
In order to protect their power, the two decided to fight to find the Dark Knight and guide each other to face Xiffy. The Death Knight is also acceptable. They don't choose.
"So, where should I find the knight?"
"Look for the believers of death and darkness. They have been very active recently and must know something."
"Okay, I'll go find death, you go find darkness."
"Yes, as long as one succeeds, that woman can be driven out of Lundan."
"Actually, there is another possibility, kidnapping that woman's husband. I remember she also has a daughter..." Lawrence suggested.
"Forget it, the relationship between the Landau family and the Free Mage Alliance is unclear. The magicians who serve them are much more troublesome than the believers of death and darkness." Dana frowned.
Not only the Free Mage Alliance, the Landau family is also one of the fourteen tulip families. If you continue to dig deeper, you will lead to the royal family. This is a slide that cannot be touched.
Many people think that the Windsor regime is controlled by the cabinet and that the Queen is just a mascot. In fact, the Queen still holds the real power to govern the country.
Having no real power and having the power to use it are two different things.
The Natural Church's ability to set up its headquarters in Lundan is inseparable from the royal family's acquiescence. That was a long time ago. The Heavenly Father's Holy See was so powerful that it encompassed all the faiths in the God's Chosen Continent.
Under the strong pressure of the theocratic power, the imperial power was weakened, and the royal families of various countries expressed their dissatisfaction. The Windsor royal family did a very extraordinary thing, fostering the power of the Holy See in Windsor, using the state religion as a temptation, allowing it to stand on its own and get rid of the Holy See headquarters. control.
After many parties fought, the operation of the Windsor royal family was not completed, but it severely weakened the influence of the Holy Father in the country, and only then did other gods' beliefs rise.
The God's Choice Continent has entered an era where many gods and beliefs coexist.
The Windsor royal family has survived through ups and downs. It is by no means as simple as it seems. The Queen can be regarded as a mascot, but she cannot be regarded as just a mascot.
The secrets have been hidden for many years, and perhaps only the gods know what kind of power the royal family controls.
