Chapter 118 Passage to Hell
The cathedral was in chaos.
I don't know which enthusiastic citizen passing by helped call the police, and a bunch of police officers came to the door.
Bishop Keith was jumping up and down anxiously and had no energy to deal with the police. He asked several clergymen to block the police outside the gate and actively cooperated, but they would not let the police in.
Asking is science. The church used white phosphorus in a popular science chemistry experiment, and there were no casualties.
The police officers had strange expressions on their faces, except for the fact that several clergymen were pale, their steps were sloppy, their legs were dangling, and they held their throats and retched from time to time.
The strange behavior of the clergy, coupled with the description of the caller, the crackling, banging, demolition of walls and blasting were very lively, and the police officers could not help but think about it.
Maybe, maybe, a bank party was just held inside.
You damn clergy have started a renaissance, right?
The police officers left in mutterings, warning not to disturb the people before leaving, and asking the person in charge to go to the police station to explain clearly next time.
Inside the church, it is mainly a warehouse area.
Bishop Keith looked at the stolen second and third areas with tears in his eyes and cried like a child.
Wayne comforted him. If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. As a person, you have to look forward. If you always dwell on the glory of the past, the Holy See will not be able to move forward.
It made sense, and Keith almost believed it.
Recalling the scene before coma, Keith's eyes were unkind, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Wayne Priest, did you really wake me up immediately after you defeated the enemy?"
"It's absolutely true, I dare to swear in the name of the goddess!"
Wayne spoke with a serious face, and then said displeasedly: "Bishop Keith, no matter what, it was me who defeated the devil's servant and woke you up from your nightmare. This is a fact. You should thank me before questioning me."
Keith's eyelids twitched, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wayne: "As a bishop, you failed to maintain the majesty of your faith and allowed the cathedral to be freely entered and exited by the devil's minions. The entire Jianhe County stronghold fell, and God The academy has not escaped the disaster. As the top person in charge, you have committed many crimes. "
Keith's heart pounded, and his whole face was full of bitterness. Although, Wayne was right. He had an unshirkable responsibility and had to take responsibility for the whole thing.
"Fortunately, it's not a big problem. You resisted the temptation of the devil at the last moment."
Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in Keith's ear: "Do you still remember, when I was in a difficult battle, it was you who stood up and joined forces with me to eliminate the devil's minions."
"Yes, is there such a thing?" Keith's voice was trembling, he really didn't remember anything.
"Of course, you and I are just acquaintances, ordinary friends, not acquaintances. If there is no benefit, why should I share the honor with you? You think so." Wayne said coldly.
Keith trembled and stammered: "But, but..."
"There's nothing good about it. It's you, Bishop Keith of St. Dominic's Cathedral, who stood up at the last moment to defeat the servant of the devil, and protected the sacred majesty of the Holy See, so that the glory of God is not stained!"
“And not me, an outsider, a passing pastor of the Natural Church!!”
Wayne shouted sternly, and his words were deafening, shocking Keith's uncertain mind and completely correcting it.
Yes, he must have this honor, otherwise he will be severely punished and the dignity of the Holy See will be damaged.
"Mr. Wayne, you are right, I remembered, everything is just as you said." Keith covered his heart and just wanted to repent in front of the cross.
Father, I have fallen!
“That’s right.”
Wayne patted Keith on the shoulder: "You are an excellent bishop. You have shouldered everything on your own so that the majesty of the Holy See would not be compromised. Believe me, you are truly a hero."
You are not a devil!
Keith's mentality was a little broken. After a while, he said dryly thank you.
"It's not necessary, it's all to protect justice."
Wayne nodded and then said, "After talking about honor, the next step is business. We agreed that the devil's minions will be yours and the Holy Grail will be mine. Is that okay?"
There is no shame in reaching out for money. If you are not familiar with someone and have no feelings to overdraw, you can only talk about money.
"No, no problem, but I want to examine the body of the blasphemer."
Keith always felt that he had forgotten something important. He quickly came to Hei Tan, headless, charred, and very emotionally stable. Even if he was tortured, he could not find out anything.
This is especially true for the heads that are all over the place. Even if you try hard to get back the information, you can't get any information.
"bishop."
A cleric came to the warehouse quickly, with an ugly face, and reported the situation to Keith in a low voice.
The imprisoned prisoners disappeared, and the statue of the evil god disappeared, all gone.
Keith's pupils shrank suddenly, and regardless of the second-generation Wayne beside him, he quickly came to the wall and cast a spell to open the magic portal in the fourth area.
The treasures are all there, intact, including the Holy Knight Sword, Holy Grail, and Bible, and the box containing the Holy Cloth is also placed high.
Even the broken evil weapons were neatly placed on the shelves.
Keith raised his hand and made the sign of the cross, relaxed a little, and began to inspect the holy objects and evil weapons one by one.
Wayne followed Keith, looking at the dazzling array of jewels and jade, and shook his head silently. The devil's minions failed to penetrate deep into the core, and only took away the worldly treasures on the periphery. The real treasures were spared.
How wonderful!
Bishop Keith checked to the end, touched the Holy Grail, put it back in its place with a smile on his face, then took out the wooden box containing the Holy Cloth and slowly pushed it away.
The smile froze on his face.
Empty!
He didn't believe in evil, so he closed the box, took two deep breaths, calmed down, and opened it again.
Still empty!
After repeating it several times, Keith's legs weakened and he leaned on the shelf and fell to the ground: "It's over, it's over..."
"Bishop, be careful."
Wayne stepped forward quickly and caught the Holy Grail that almost hit Keith's head.
Fortunately it didn't hit, otherwise the Holy Grail would have been broken.
He glanced at the empty box and his heart sank: "Bishop, what does the shroud say?"
"The holy cloth itself is nothing. It is an ordinary piece of linen cloth. Because it wraps the body of Saint Dominic, it is contaminated with holy attributes. It is a very powerful holy object."
Bishop Keith closed his eyes in pain: "The statue of the Thousand-Eyed Demon and the black magician are missing. If I guessed correctly, the Thousand-Eyed Demon has come to the world. In the past few days when I was controlled, the Holy Cloth was the one that descended. One of the props.”
Keith said a lot. He didn't know much about the Holy Cloth as much as the Thousand-Eyed Demon, and he didn't even know that the Holy Cloth had been returned to its original owner. He only knew that he had become an accomplice of the devil, and he guessed that the Thousand-Eyed Demon had completed his work in the cathedral. Advent ceremony.
"So fast?!"
Wayne's face also looked ugly, and he wondered: "No, where is the Thousand-Eyed Demon? I broke into the devil's base camp alone. Why did I only meet the devil's servants and not the devil?"
"Mr. Wayne, this is a church, not a devil's nest..."
"Or maybe the guy I killed was the devil himself."
Wayne ignored Keith and frowned as he analyzed: "That's not right, he is just a human being. The Thousand-Eyed Demon descended on the black magician, not a human being."
At the end of the sentence, the two looked at each other. In Keith's expectant eyes, Wayne ruthlessly shattered the illusion: "The devil has arrived, and the people I killed were just subordinates. The devil is not in the cathedral, he has left."
At the end of his words, Wayne wrapped the Holy Grail and said bluntly: "Bishop Keith, I want to report this to Lundan, and I hope you will report it to your superiors as soon as possible. The situation is very serious, so cheer up."
A word woke up the dreamer. Keith endured the pain physically and mentally, and left the warehouse with Wayne, came to the office, and contacted his superiors by phone respectively.
The Thousand-Eyed Demon has descended on Jianhe County. The demon's minions have been cleared away, but the whereabouts of the demon are unknown.
After finishing these things, Wayne said goodbye to Keith and returned to the Church of Nature stronghold, where he saw Darcy who was working overtime. Darcy was surprised that the leader had left and returned, and took the initiative to ask the reason.
Wayne did not mention the arrival of the Thousand-Eyed Demon. It was beyond Darcy's ability and it would be useless to say more. He only said that it was very dangerous recently and the stronghold was temporarily closed and people should not go out.
After that, everything will be subject to Lundan’s notification.
…
That night, Wayne rushed back to Lundam overnight. The trunk was full, and even the back seat was packed with a lot of stuff.
In the passenger seat, the black robe was balled up and stuffed into the chalice.
The car stopped at the Landau Manor, and the housekeeper Megan had been waiting for a long time. She saw Wayne putting his hand on his chest and bowing slightly.
"Master Wayne, Madam is waiting for you in the study. Please come with me."
"Excuse me, prepare some food. I will go to the restaurant after talking to the teacher."
Wayne nodded, followed Megan, and added: "Be more prepared. I haven't eaten for a long time and I will be very hungry today."
"I see."
study.
Meghan watched Wayne walk in, notified the servants to prepare for the dinner, closed the door and stood quietly outside the door.
This is what Auston meant.
There is no other meaning, just to listen to what the teacher and students are talking about, whether it is related to stockings or something like that.
"Tell me clearly, what is going on with the evil god of hell?"
Xifei sat behind the desk. When the students arrived, she put down the files and took off her glasses.
The two talked briefly on the phone. Xifei only knew that the Thousand-Eyed Demon had come to the world, but did not know the details before and after.
"That's right, the night I went to the Jianhe County stronghold..."
Wayne explained the whole process, from Darcy being invited to investigate the insect plague, to himself being invited to capture the devil's followers, to Bishop Keith being manipulated, so that the devil was able to complete his descent in the cathedral.
For ten minutes, Wayne told everything he knew.
Xifei looked speechless. Although the devil in hell and the Life Alliance are not mortal enemies, the devil belongs to the evil god camp, and it is impossible for the Church of Nature to let it go.
Another lot of trouble!
I want to mention here that evil gods in the traditional sense are divided into two categories. One is the devils who gather in hell, and the other is the crazy magicians who wander in the astral universe, such as the Lord of the Void.
They are collectively called evil gods. They have left the God's Chosen Continent and require certain conditions before they can come.
"Teacher, no one knows the coming ceremony of the Thousand-Eyed Demon. They only know that the holy corpse cloth was used. It is difficult to evaluate its strength, and its current whereabouts are unknown..."
Wayne was worried and pessimistic: "The world is too big. It would be difficult to find a devil hiding in the world."
Xifei smiled and looked at the students, soothing the anxiety and said: "Don't underestimate the Heavenly Father Church. They have been fighting against the devil for so many years. There were devils who successfully came before, but they were all driven back in the end. We can't find it. It doesn't mean that they can't find it." They can't find it."
That's right, they are the professionals.
Wayne thought for a while and realized that his worries were unfounded, and then said: "Teacher, I heard that the power of the Holy See in Windsor is very limited. Will they ask us to cooperate?"
"Perhaps, but we ask a high price and they may not be able to afford it."
Xifey thought for a while, maybe the Heavenly Father Holy See would use the Thousand-Eyed Demon as a breakthrough to renegotiate the power of Windsor with the royal family.
There was another good show to watch.
Hell and heaven are mortal enemies. When the devil comes, the biggest headache is the Holy See. Naturally, the church will take this matter seriously, but it will not regard defeating the devil as its top priority.
The top priority is to revitalize the natural church in Windsor and use the dark knights and death knights as strategic targets.
There is currently no news about the two knights. Xifei secretly speculated that she hoped that the two guys would end up violently dead if they disagreed with each other.
"Teacher, my six-pointed star has been condensed."
"Real or fake, sister, take a look."
Xifei was extremely pleasantly surprised, her eyes glowed with green light, and she saw a rather strange six-pointed star pattern inside Wayne's body, with six more sides than an ordinary six-pointed star.
Weird, but not special. Heaphy's own six-pointed star was unusual until the Golden Triangle became normal.
The six-pointed stars condensed by the magician each have their own shapes, and they are not all carved from the same mold. Most of them are more or less affected by the four elements, and their shapes are irregular.
The six-pointed star in Wayne's body is horizontal and slanted, conforming to the standard template in the textbook, which is very excellent.
As for the six extra sides, it may be related to his special bloodline.
Xifei was curious about the student's six-pointed star, and even more curious about the student's special bloodline. She was especially curious about what kind of offspring would be born after mixing this bloodline with dragon blood.
She supported free love, and after checking it out, she asked Wayne to visit Veronica.
Wayne looked out the window. It was already dark. Going to Veronica's boudoir at this time would most likely lead to a free fall.
Another day, definitely next time!
After leaving the study, Wayne went straight to the dining room. Dinner was already prepared. It was as filling as he liked. He picked up the dinner plate and started drinking.
The essence of life has changed too much, and a lot of nutrients need to be supplemented. In other words, he is still growing, so he needs to eat more to grow.
And it’s food from the Landau family. If you eat more here, the Wayne family can save a lot of money.
While Wayne was eating quietly, the housekeeper Megan came to Auston's side and recounted the conversation between the teacher and the student.
Alston played with the ancient silver coins in his hand, and when he heard that the Father's Church was ambushed and the Thousand-Eyed Demon descended on the cathedral, a look of worry appeared on his face.
Based on his knowledge of Lundan, he guessed that the missing Thousand-Eyed Demon most likely came to Lundan quietly.
"I want to open the passage to hell..."
"Haha, it's not that easy!"
Auston picked up the phone next to him and made an appointment with a few friends to meet and discuss in detail tomorrow.
…
Almost at the same time, Commercial Street, Dawn Detective Agency.
There were a few lights on in the office, and several staff members who had stayed up late and worked overtime were lying on the table, fast asleep. In the dark corner where the light could not reach, dark figures sat quietly.
Thousand-Eyed Demon.
The sound of footsteps came, leaving behind wet shoe prints.
Abo pushed open the office door, looked at the millipede crawling under his feet, crushed it with one kick, and then looked coldly at the man in the shadow.
"who?"
"A very clever magical creation. You must be a wraith. I have to say that you are worthy of being the knight of the goddess of death. Your master is really powerful."
The Thousand-Eyed Demon raised his hands: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I would like to ask you to convey a message to the respected Death Knight. The demon from hell wants to form an alliance with him."
