Chapter 905 887. Officiant
“There is a dragon-patterned shield left there.”
A Lothric knight who had climbed back onto the dragon’s back saw him because of his increased vision. Looking at the angle that had been ignored just now, he shouted towards Knight Commander Lorenzo.
“Just leave what is left.”
Lorenzo also climbed onto his flying dragon deftly.
"What you have taken is what you have taken. Now we have to return to Lothric as soon as possible! Time is the most important thing."
After the Knight Commander of Lothric finished instructing his men, he turned towards Lan En, who was riding a horse and standing next to the flying dragon. Said.
"Please leave as soon as possible, Lan En. We really need you to come forward as a witness."
Under the command, the flying dragon began to tense its muscles and its wings began to accumulate strength, preparing to fly again Sky.
The stone bricks on the bridge made a clicking and squeezing sound under the subconscious grip of the flying dragon's claws.
"I will move forward with you in the sky, at the gate of Lothric City Wall. When you arrive, I will go down to say hello to them."
"It would be best if we can enter the city as soon as possible."
Lan En smoothed away his messy silver hair caused by the air flow caused by the flying dragon's wings, shrugged and said.
The three flying dragons took off one after another, leaving only a mess and charred corpses on the bridge.
Lan En frowned and looked around, and found the pilgrims who were still at the other end of the bridge, but were not involved in the riot because they were too far away.
At this moment, it was as if he couldn't see the cruel corpses on the ground, and then moved towards the empty bridge, hoping to get closer to Lothric City.
They moved forward silently, staggeringly and with difficulty, only occasionally a few groans of pain that could not be suppressed were released.
Under this 'bloody eclipse', this silent progress is simply chilling.
Lan En looked up at the abnormal sun.
“If I didn’t go to the New World, but came here directly after the war, I would probably go crazy too, right?”
This idea suddenly appeared in the witcher's mind.
In a cruel world that is coming to an end, one should not expect there to be any normal people in it.
Lan En shook his head, gently pulled Qilin's mane, and ran towards the towering and magnificent city gate on the other side of the bridge.
Lorenzo in the sky is making the flying dragon hover in order to keep up with the unicorn, which is not at full speed.
With no blocking checkpoints, the bridge was quickly completed by Qilin.
At the end of the bridge is the gate to Lothric City.
The majestic gate, about thirty meters high, adopts a composite design of gate and opening and closing door.
is a more common combination in the castle defense system.
It’s just that this world has used supernatural power to enlarge the size of the city gate to this extent.
Lorenzo arrived in the sky as promised.
He did not negotiate with the city gate guards, but directly rode the flying dragon and landed on the city wall above the city gate.
Then under the command of the Knight Commander, the gate of Lothric opened with a rumble.
There was a low roar of a flying dragon on the city wall, and then the huge flying dragon flapped its wings, rolled up the dust on the ground under the city wall dozens of meters away, and flew towards the city. high places.
And Lorenzo trotted down the stairs on the side of the city gate with the sound of his armor moving.
“Dismount, I told them to take good care of your property.”
Lan En nodded indifferently.
Just before leaving, he patted Qilin's neck as if out of habit.
Qilin's red crystal eyes blinked at Lan En.
After entering the city gate of Lothric, there is a wide staircase leading upward.
There are flower beds, green plants and other decorative vegetation beside the stairs, but they have not seen sunlight for a long time, making these vegetation very wilted.
Lothric soldiers and knights often patrol back and forth on this wide staircase.
Lan, who was following Lorenzo, also saw the pilgrims who had entered the city earlier.
They seemed to feel that their status was low, and they just prostrated on both sides of the road with their hands clasped toward the top of the stairs, praying and begging.
The stone turtle shells on their backs made them look like turtles wearing black robes in this posture.
And these pilgrims paid a heavy price in terms of death and injury, dragging their bodies that were about to turn into rotten wood and traveled long distances to this holy city that spreads fire.
But he only dared to kneel down on the roadside, for fear of blocking the way of pedestrians.
This humility made Lan En frown.
He looked up the stairs. At the end of the stairs was a magnificent church.
On the outer wall of the front of the church, the power of magic or [miracle] forms a dial composed of illusory blue light to display the time.
"Priest Emma is inside, and we have to inform her of what happened."
Lorenzo nodded to the passing patrolling Lothric knights and explained the process of the trip in a low voice to Lan.
Because of the weakening of the First Fire, the difficult life has made people's need for faith become more intense.
So even though it is not an important day, there are already many people lining up in front of this church, waiting to go in and worship.
Most of them wore simple-colored linen robes and short shirts, and their cheeks and bodies were very thin.
Most of the people who had not yet arrived in line knelt down outside the church and muttered something at the same time.
Therefore, the Lothric knights patrolling here are also responsible for maintaining law and order, and Lorenzo must also lower his voice to prevent information leakage. But facing Lorenzo's arrangement, Lan En also lowered his voice and whispered with minimal lip movements.
"Are you mistaken? This should be the White Church. You also found the red worm pills from the Netherworld Church on the attackers. You must tell the priest about it now. "?"
"Priests and archbishops are different"
Lorenzo explained as he went up the stairs.
The White Sect is the oldest and largest sect in the world, and its main god is generally believed to be Lloyd, the god of law and class. King Gwen's uncle.
The history of this faith is almost as long as the Age of Fire.
Has already covered all human countries.
And such a huge organization has already divided regions and powers.
The archbishop of the Netherworld Church is a high-level official in the church, and the priests of Lothric are also high-level officials. They are just equivalent to managers of different dioceses.
The status is equal and they are not subordinate to each other.
Therefore, it is different from Lan En’s previous estimate. The Yousui Church is suspected of participating in the riots and supporting the riots, but it does not mean that the priest is suspected.
On the contrary, in the three-pillar structure of Lothric's royal power, the relationship between knights and priests can be said to be 'intimate'.
“For some reason, His Majesty insisted on transferring the ownership of the large library that contains a huge amount of precious knowledge from the royal family directly to the hands of the sages. This makes us and the priests very uneasy.”
Lorenzo cryptically explained the reason for the 'close' relationship between knights and priests.
Fortunately, with Lan En's level of political history, he could easily understand it.
One of the three-pillar structures received a huge amount of resource tilt for unknown reasons, while the other two began to huddle together for warmth under a sense of crisis.
It seems that the priest is indeed a character worthy of the knights' trust.
But after all, why didn’t Lorenzo go to the top of the Knights directly under him?
Due to lack of information, Lann and Mentos were unable to draw reasonable conclusions.
And thanks to Lorenzo's identity as Knight Commander, the two of them entered the church unimpeded.
This church fits Lan En’s stereotype of architecture in this world.
Gothic buildings are always filled with various reliefs and patterns, as well as wide and heavy flags hanging from the hanging points of the dome.
A gentle breeze can make these large hanging flags make a "swishing" sound.
The old woman wearing a hooded robe sitting at the main seat of the church is undoubtedly the officiant of Lothric.
She saw the two people entering the door, and quietly handed over the task of preaching to the lower-level priests behind her. She waved to Lan En and Lorenzo covertly.
Motioned for them to follow him to the corner of the church to talk.
In the corner where the candlelight cannot shine, although there are many believers praying devoutly in the church, this corner does not attract anyone's attention.
"I think you should have received news about the riot on the bridge into the city?"
Lorenzo asked respectfully first.
"Yes, I heard about it."
There was no emotion or anger in the voice of the officiant, just the voice of an ordinary old woman.
“The sound of the horn summoning dragon knights for reinforcements is hard to ignore, as is the flapping of the wings of the two flying dragons.”
“What, is it a famous knight who is going crazy there?”
"It's worse than that, Priest Emma."
Lorenzo whispered as he took off the shield from his back. He only had this dragon-patterned shield on his back, and the rest were hung on the flying dragon saddle and brought back to the Knights' dragon training ground.
With his iron-gloved hand, he turned the side of the shield with the golden dragon pattern upwards and handed it to the officiant.
"It's much worse."
After seeing this magical blue shield, Emma's breathing paused obviously.
Later, Lorenzo told her about the riot that happened on the bridge outside the city.
Mainly focusing on the enemy's understanding of the flying dragon, as well as targeted equipment, these are the worst signs.
——A sign that the Knights of Lothric have been betrayed!
"You mean, the Netherworld Church too"
The officiant said with difficulty, holding the red worm pills handed over by Lorenzo in his hand.
“They should have also betrayed Lothrik, the gods and the royal family.”
Lorenzo pulled Lan to him.
"I also brought witnesses to prove what I said. The Church of the Underworld has united with a certain magician force in order to target Lothric."
"In this difficult era , This is really disappointing news."
Priest Emma sighed.
"His Royal Highness is still delaying the spread of the flames. He is hiding in the palace and not seeing others. You are right to come to me first at this time, Lorenzo."
"The leader of the Knights is now facing pressure from both directions. He probably no longer has the energy to deal with these things."
"I don't understand." Lorenzo's voice was muffled. "If the prince is unwilling to spread the flames, then isn't it okay to drag the prisoner to the throne? Why does His Highness delay even this?"
