Chapter 223 113: Under the Holy Water
[Give up, the Demon Lord is not something you can fight against. Don’t think that you can stop it by killing a few minions. Your skills are not sharp enough to even scratch an itch. . 】
“In this case, why doesn’t such a powerful demon lord just come out and rule the world?”
[The demon lord naturally has his reasons for doing so]
"Since you are doing this, is there any reason to do this?" Following these words, Karl already had some ideas.
[Haha, you can guess as you like, but don’t expect to get a useful word from me, bitch! 】
“No, no, you just revealed enough information.”
[? 】
“Take a bold guess.”
“Since it is related to location, you need a map.”
Sneaking to the end of a certain alley, after scanning around and seeing no one else, Carl spread out a map of Mo that he carried with him, and marked it with a marker pen.
"Luzhniki. The second attack, the third attack."
The attacks all took place in the south area of the city, with three points connected, forming a triangle, with almost no difficulty.
“This pattern is a bit familiar.”
Karl frowned, looked at the top of the map, folded the map in half, and let the three points find the symmetrical point in the north direction of the city, stained with ink. color.
"Six points, so they are exactly two equilateral triangles, intertwined with each other."
Use a pen to connect the two triangles, and a pattern that is almost a household name appeared in front of him.
"Six-pointed star."
Karl's eyes moved towards the core of the star, and black ink was stained on it. It was the Kremlin Palace.
"It turns out that your goal is to conquer the palace. Is this a ritual? Used to enhance the strength of your demons? In fact, I have never understood that your nourishment should be 'people-oriented'. Why don't you go directly to people? Where there are many people, there are many people in Yinsan. Is it because they are too peaceful? ”
【.Don’t you know that the city under your feet has the most people nearby? 】
The devil couldn't help but said.
"I understand. It turns out that your scope of activities is so limited. This is another good piece of information. Thanks, little devil."
[! ! 】
Ignoring the barking demon, Karl looked at the three points in the northern area of the city that he had marked. If his guess was generally correct, the only question now was when the devil would arrange it. Launch the next few attacks.
Judging from the simplest thinking, this must be sooner rather than later. After all, if it is too late, what he can see will definitely be seen by others. As long as everyone is evacuated in advance, the other party's plan will be natural. fail.
It is best to activate six places at the same time, unless there are any restrictions.
"So I'm afraid there has been an attack there now"
Karl muttered to himself, he did not have the ability to sense demons, and everything could be guessed.
But he didn't expect that in the alley where he had just observed that there was no one there, someone suddenly interrupted his soliloquy to tell the little devil.
"No, it has nothing to do with the six-pointed star." This was a slightly hoarse voice.
Karl was instantly alert, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the machete in his arms, but in the end he did not reach in because he did not feel any malice, so he looked sideways at the place where the sound came from with caution. .
It was a man wearing a black hat and a black coat. He stood upright, and a patch of gray could be seen from his hair.
He raised his head, took off his hat, revealing a slightly older face, and looked directly at Karl with candid eyes.
“This is a formation, an evil formation, but it has nothing to do with demons, because the person who created this formation is a human being.”
"His name is Augustus."
"He is my former student."
A few hours later.
A remote apartment somewhere.
While drinking hot cocoa, Carl digested the information he got from the old man named Jeremy.
Strictly speaking, the other party should not be considered an old man, but for some unknown reason, he looks older.
“.I have roughly straightened out my thinking. Because of the different research methods, your student Augustus led others to establish a separate school. Now, you want to prevent him from continuing his research.”
< br>[Joke, how can a mere human be qualified to cooperate with the Demon Lord]
Listening to the little devil in his mind interjecting with disdain, Karl actually confirmed the authenticity of this information in his heart.
"It can be said that he was brought in by me. I should also be responsible for the sins he committed." Jeremy coughed a few times and seemed to be in poor health.
"I set out from Britannia to collect clues in the Land of Conflict, and found that everything pointed to the natural kingdom and the divided America. So I rushed there, where I got the help of Captain Jamie and exchanged information information, captured his next move, and then chased him all the way to Beilian."
"Because I know his research direction, I also made some references along his research ideas, and I can feel it. The demonic rebellion that broke out today is related to him."
"Then do you know what he wants to do?" This has always been what Carl is most concerned about.
Jeremy was silent: "If you connect the words soul, demon, and formation, what will come to your mind immediately?"
"Summon a more powerful demon, or It makes the devil in the devil's mouth stronger." Karl said without thinking.
"My thoughts are similar to yours. Augustus probably used Meaux as his experimental site." Jeremy nodded.
“Why did you come all the way to Meucheng to do this experiment?”
“How do you know that he has not done similar experiments in other cities?”
Jeremy's eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but tremble as he recalled the strangely silent and deserted towns he had found.
Augustus has fallen into complete madness, and now he does not hesitate to cooperate with the devil. When two guys with no bottom line join forces, what they will do must be even more terrifying.
"Although I am continuing to follow Augustus's research, because his research direction is too experimental, I cannot use the same methods as him in order to catch up with him, so now I can only see these few The place where the demon appears has something to do with the formation, but I have no idea where the core of the formation is and how to destroy it."
"The only thing I can be sure of now is that this formation does not limit the position. , as long as it can be connected into an area at a few points, it is enough. This arrangement is probably to confuse you. Of course, it may also be a clear sign. After all, Augustus has always been very confident."
< br>After hearing this, Karl spread the map on the table again, stood up, and thought carefully: "If you go by what you said, the purpose of this formation may be to include the core of the most densely populated central area, like this. ”
He connected the six points of the hexagram from the outside, which happened to be a hexagonal shape, and the palace was still the center inside.
How to put it, it’s a bit like the rhombus of a honeycomb. "You just said that you are not the only one in your faction. Is there anyone else who can come to help?" Karl asked politely.
Jeremy shook his head: "I will not involve other people. They have their own lives. It is irresponsible to let them take such a high risk rashly."
< br>"But this is related to the lives of tens of millions of people in Mocheng and the future of the entire country." Karl's eyes were cold.
"Then where do you think the devil was born?" Jeremy asked.
Karl was silent.
Judging from the official's efficient methods, Karl had actually made a guess.
“This information of yours should be helpful to the official.”
“So early this morning, after I felt the breath of the formation, I tried to find a way to put it on President Vicki’s desk. Fortunately, he invited two paladins in advance. Their abilities have a strong restraint effect on demons. From this point of view, we have no chance of winning."
Karl slowly sat back on the chair, looked at the map on the table, and fell into deep thought.
Time goes back to when Jeremy and Carl just met.
Kremlin palace.
Vicci ended his contemplation, put down the letter, and took off his protective clothing.
Some risks are worth taking, but with more risks, there is no need to risk your life.
"Soul Gathering. Divine Grace Warlock" has actually collected information on these two mysterious extraordinary organizations in his intelligence network, but it is very rare and not as good as the person who left him a message. Talk more.
It was already difficult to deal with the devil, but now there is a mysterious organization involved, and we don’t know what changes it will bring.
"Mr. President, the two angels are back."
"Yes."
Putting the letter in the most secret drawer, Vicky went to greet them.
"Praise God, the people of Meucheng will always remember your help."
Walking to the church square, the Orthodox Patriarch had already led a group of people to express his gratitude here.
But he was called by Vicky, and the purpose was to show Ye Jie around the Assumption Cathedral and see what she cared about.
"We can handle the follow-up matters, don't worry too much, I have seen your battles, I think with you here, even the devil will have to stay away, why not take advantage of the time now to visit Come to the church." Vicky, who came closer, offered his thanks after expressing his gratitude.
Ye Jie looked at Jennifer with eager eyes, and was a little worried that this would not appear stable enough and lose the face of the Paladin lineage.
Jennifer didn't quite understand why Vicky would come up with such an idea at first, because she almost suffocated facing the church every day, it was such a sin.
Only when I saw Ye Jie's expression, I realized that this was what she wanted.
"Just in time, I also want to appreciate this treasure in the world and listen to the voice of the Lord."
The Patriarch's face twitched. When others said "listen to the voice of the Lord," he would at best regard it as a habitual expression, but The other party is a paladin, so he might really be able to hear the voice of God. Damn it, I’m so envious! I also want to hear a word of God!
So, surrounded by the patriarch and a group of priests who seemed to be shocked, they walked into the church.
“Please look here, this painting is from that year.”
“And here, it is by the world-renowned.”
Jennifer knew that this church was famous for its various murals, but she didn't have any other expectations.
But after Ye Jie listened for a long time, she saw that all the talk was about murals and did not get to the topic she wanted to know at all, so she had to take advantage of a pause to ask.
"Patriarch, I heard that the holy water in the church is very efficacious, right?"
Vicci, who was standing aside and only occasionally added a few words, was moved when he heard Ye Jie's words. This should be the reason why the other party pays special attention to this church.
Could it be that the holy water here really has some unknown function?
"Ahem, that's natural. More than ten years ago, there were even believers who drank holy water and were cured of incurable diseases without medicine." The Patriarch coughed twice and bravely blew it in front of the two paladins. Why did he say ten? A few years ago, naturally it was because we couldn't find any evidence because we were farther back in time.
The main thing is that Jennifer is from the Holy See. As an Orthodox, she cannot be embarrassed in front of her, a heretic. After all, the mass at Mount Saint-Michel in the past few months has really made many people gain Healing, they cannot be left behind.
Jennifer’s eyes were smiling, but she didn’t bother to expose them.
The so-called holy water is abundant in the Holy See. She even saw some bishops pouring pure water into it as if nothing had happened in front of her!
It’s still in a bottle!
Although holy water does not pay attention to its source, it only depends on where it is located and whether it has been blessed, but this picture still shattered her filter.
I originally thought it was natural mineral water drawn from some holy mountain or spring.
Is this the result?
Of course, the most important thing is that it is useless at all.
It has no effects on healing magic, skin care, or strengthening the body.
Later, the Pope learned of her curiosity, and then mysteriously took her to see the large barrels of holy water that were kept. Legend has it that they were left by the previous Pope. There were originally dozens of barrels, but since the exorcist learned about these barrels of holy water, , I often came here to get some to exorcise demons. Gradually, there were only a few barrels left.
Hearing this statement, Jennifer was somewhat interested, but she just opened a barrel and almost didn't send it away to Jennifer and the Pope. What came out was a strong rancid smell. , I don’t know when it was contaminated and how long it fermented! If you drink it, you may really see God!
The Pope still didn't give up and wanted to ask Jennifer if it was effective, but the furious Jennifer almost manipulated the "holy water" into giving him a "great cure".
The result was that some unlucky cleric was baptized and then heard that he had a fever the next day.
“This is our holy pool, and the water for baptism is also taken from here.” The Patriarch tried to straighten his waist and pointed to the small round stone pool on one side.
Ye Jie cheered up and walked around the pond several times, but he still couldn't feel any summons or induction.
Seeing the disappointment on Ye Jie's face, Vicky looked at the Patriarch: "Has this holy pool been transferred? Or are there other holy pools in the church."
The Patriarch thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "As far as I know, this holy pool has been in this location for hundreds of years. The holy water is taken from here, and the holy water in other places is only temporarily stored."
Hearing this, Ye Jie's face became more and more regretful. Logically speaking, if it is a sacred object of his family, his bloodline should be able to feel the call.
Vicci looked at Ye Jie: "Sister Ye Jie, if you have any requests, you can just say it. You don't need to think about whether it will be too much."
Hearing this, Ye Jie looked at Jennifer and then at the patriarch with a strange face.
“I heard that my predecessors buried our family’s holy relics under the holy pool of this church”
“Dig, contact the construction team and ask them to rush as quickly as possible Come." Vicky immediately ordered to the secretary beside him.
The Patriarch: "!!!"
