Chapter 186 Si Heng Hermitage?
The Hermitage of Scales.
This name is quite explosive even in the secret party world.
Not to mention that as a secret party, they are not atheists or devil believers, but they also believe in the enemy church.
You know, in Black Snake Bay, a reservation for fugitives and secret party members, most people are anti-church.
In particular, many extreme esotericists have even vowed not to earn any income through the church in their lifetime.
In a country where the church is embedded in every aspect of daily life, that means the only way to get money is through crime.
But in this atmosphere, the Scaling Priory still insists on emphasizing that it is not a secret party, but a Messianic Order, a holy party. You are all lost lambs...
Isn’t this exciting?
Although they have the appearance of admiring the righteous gods, everyone knows that underneath that appearance, there is an extremely terrifying demon hidden.
They are the secret party that loves to engage in human experiments and monster breeding. There are monster riots in nine places, and there are scale monasteries in ten places.
In the name of knowledge, they will even kidnap witches with strange abilities, and then conduct dissections and a series of cruel experiments. They even went to the Flesh Palace to kidnap vampires and ogres.
Until now, the Royal Court of Flesh and Blood has refused to provide any foreign assistance to the Priory of Si Scales, and has put the leader of the Priory of Si Scales on the Most Wanted List.
It may not matter to the Priory of Scales, because their leader is already on the most wanted list of the three forces: the Church, the Empire (Demon Hunters), and the Secret Party. .
Although often besieged and resisted, the Priory of Scales did attract some wizards.
Because the secret party members had to admit that the radical approach of the Scales Priory allowed them to be far ahead of other secret parties in the research on the nature of magic and monsters.
The cold wind after the rain hit his face as Horn rode his horse, still thinking about the Scaling Priory in his mind.
If the evil god on Qiu Mu Island is a member of the Hermitage of Scaling, then not only the hairy monster would not be strange, but even the giant spider in the Wild Spider Forest would become more reasonable.
But is Qiumu Island really a wizard from the Scaling Hermitage?
Running out of the sparse woods, there was another abandoned village in front of them. The barbarians in the village cautiously poked their heads out and looked towards Horn.
When Horn's eyes turned around, they would hide their heads behind collapsed walls and fences again, but this was just to ignore their ears, and those big ears could still be seen.
Horn smiled.
According to his request, the black hats did not massacre, and as long as they had not participated in the war before, they did not care.
When Horn ran past them with more than a dozen mounted guards, his iron hoofs flew away in the mud, and the mud actually had a little bit of black and red in it.
It seems that the light rain last night failed to wash away the blood on the ground.
After yesterday's rain, many people in the camp caught a cold. It was unclear whether it was the Holy Family or a common cold, but Madeleine still scattered some of the old, weak, sick and disabled into the lycanthrope village.
The fourth group of people who left last will arrive soon. By then, there will be nearly 20,000 people staying on the road.
They urgently need a place to live and avoid the cold.
The sky seems to be painted with a gray and black paintbrush without water. Behind the gray screen, there is a pale sky covered by wisps of fog.
The lake reflected the sky like a mirror, and turned into a light gray color.
"Your Majesty, we're here." Rudillo, who arrived after Horn, pointed to a long stone arch bridge that stretched far away.
Dozens of lycanthrope barbarians were standing stubbornly beside the long bridge.
They had bruised noses and swollen faces, and wore animal skin robes. They just kept scolding and admonishing the black-clothed soldiers standing at the bridge, hoping that they would not anger the blood god on the island. There is a towering granite on the lake beach, and the bridge head is built on the granite. Dozens of bridge piers with exquisite carvings of acanthus leaves stretch forward until Qiumu Island is hidden in the fog in the distance.
Qiu Mu Island seems to be floating in the mist.
If someone rushes to the long bridge and runs wildly on horseback without knowing the reason, he will be unable to see the way forward in the thick fog, and then fall into the water at the broken bridge.
According to the lycanthrope priests, the hairy monsters will not attack outsiders who come to the island only on the seven-day sacrificial day.
The next sacrificial day will have to wait for another five days. Horn cannot wait for five days. He must complete the cleaning of Qiumu Island before the day after tomorrow.
These days, he has asked the lycanthropes in the United Kingdom to go all out to fish, and the salt wells are going all out to pump out brine. Horn even dispatched 100 holy ones at once to learn mud. Coal Alchemy Formula.
If we continue to waste time like this, we will have no time to settle down before the snow falls.
"Brother, the ship is ready." After yesterday's day of great expedition, Jeanne did not show any signs of fatigue, but was full of energy.
Victor pointed to the broken bridge and introduced: "Because the number of ships is limited, there are only a dozen or so, and each ship can carry at most seven or eight people. We can only transport a hundred people to the island at a time, and the ships It's small, so we won't go on the horse.
We decided to go up to the Broken Bridge first, and then take a boat from the bridge to Qiumu Island. There is a waterway of more than one mile and nearly two miles in between. br>
After the first group of 90 people landed on the island, they immediately built fortifications and sent out scouts. After the second group of 100 people landed on the island, they began to clean up the hairy monsters along the route. The third group of 100 people Then continue to go to the island as support."
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." After all, it was the first-line commander's suggestion, and Horn readily agreed.
Victor quickly selected his soldiers, bringing all 20 holy gunmen, 60 cuirass spearmen and 10 sword and shield soldiers.
These 90 people are all holy ones, and they can change the guard and fire the clockwork muskets when necessary.
Following behind them were these 90 soldiers, and on both sides of the long bridge were rafts and canoes paddling slowly in the water.
Horn reached out and brushed the handrails beside the bridge. The Pompeii style patterns on the piers and floor tiles had been blurred, the marble handrails had long been weathered and peeled off, and the gaps between the floor tiles were filled with grass and yellow-red moss.
This thousand-year-old bridge left over from the El Empire era was stronger than Horn had imagined. He stamped hard, but the bridge did not tremble at all.
This is a bridge built a thousand years ago or even earlier. It is more than a thousand meters long and four to five meters wide.
To this day, if those masons were asked to build a 100-meter bridge, it would be noisy. Al Technology is really invincible in the world.
Horn shook his head. The stonemason who had previously signed a contract was the last to catch up with Horn's team. He didn't know what he would think when he saw this long bridge.
As we walked from the abutment to the end of the long bridge, the piers that were still standing gradually began to collapse, either directly falling into the water, or the bridge deck falling into the lake.
“Just get on the boat from here.”
After jumping on the largest rowing boat, Horn held on to the side of the boat and sat firmly while dozens of small boats cut through the fog and moved forward.
The Qiumu Island in the distance gradually became clearer, and even the dark shadows moving in the fog were no longer blurry.
Horn clenched the papal scepter in his hand, inserted the clockwork key in advance, and pointed the muzzle of the scepter forward.
"Your Majesty, look." Beside Horn, Victor pointed to Qiumu Island in the mist in front of him and shouted in surprise, "There is actually a pier there."
