Chapter 584 Peppetta Brother and Sister (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
"Edas, you really should wake up. The Holy See is not worthy of your persistent protection."
Diogakas sighed helplessly. The guy in front of him was one of the few good people in the Temple Army. He was also very friendly to civilians and had strong combat power. He could be regarded as a signature character of the Temple Army.
But the problem is that this guy is a fool. To put it simply, he regards every word of the Holy See as the supreme standard. This kind of foolish loyalty makes Diogakas feel helpless.
Once upon a time, Eddas's sister Peppetta was able to advise him on certain things, thus making him restrain his behavior.
However, some people in the Templar Army reported this situation to the Holy See.
After the Holy See learned about it, it sealed the holy seal on Peppetta and sent an elite team to surround and kill her.
I originally thought that doing this would make Eddas obedient, but I didn't expect that this stubborn guy would always be obsessed with Pepeta not dying.
The most frightening thing is that this guy's faith seems to be blessed by a miracle.
During the battle, it was said that many people from the Temple Army saw Pepeta's figure surrounding Eddas.
The members of the team that participated in the siege of Peppetta were all elites of the Temple Army. When they learned that Peppetta might be resurrected by some unknown miracle, fear made three of them hide in the room and never dared to come out again.
The other two members with profound backgrounds were taken back to the Holy See. They firmly believed that under the protection of many bishops of the Holy See, Peppetta's ghost could not cause any trouble.
"Nonsense! Without the protection of the Holy See, the world would have fallen into chaos." Edas retorted angrily. His emotions were instantly ignited by Diogakas's words, and he hit the ground heavily with a hammer.
With this violent blow, blue electric current splashed wildly along the direction of the hammer, and a strong and pungent smell of ozone filled the air, which was produced by the violent combustion of the arc in the air.
Diogakas took a deep breath. He knew in his heart that the argument with Edas would not lead to anything, but he still tried to guide this stubborn guy.
"If you go forward along this road, you will see a cave at the end. There is something we need in there."
Having said that, Diogakas rushed towards Eddas with his sword in hand.
At this moment, a figure appeared next to Edas. She was a woman, but her figure seemed slightly illusory.
Dressed in red felt and armed with a serpentine sword, she fought alongside Eddas against Diogakas.
This red felt cloth is called "Word of Edict" and has been soaked in special medicine and holy water for a long time, giving it the magical effect of resisting the plague.
This is also an important prop that allows members of the Temple Army to walk freely across the vast land without having to worry about plague attacks.
The materials for making holy water are extremely rare. For ordinary people, if they want to obtain this extremely precious holy water, they must pay an extremely high fee.
The small bottle of holy water they received from the priest had been diluted and was only enough for one person.
If you try to dilute it again to treat more people, not only will you not be able to cure the plague, but it will make the disease worse.
Although they were one against two, Diogakas was not at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Diogakas could hold on, Lin Yi confidently carried the black and white rose and moved forward quickly, passing by the pained and wailing believers on both sides, and went straight to the goal.
About five minutes later, he arrived near the cave mentioned by Diogakas.
The cave was so dark that even with Lin Yi's sight, he couldn't see clearly what was in the depths of the cave.
Lin Yi came to the cave and found a very old mechanical elevator inside, with a pull rod on the side for control.
Lin Yi walked onto the elevator and pulled the lever decisively. With a crunching sound, Lin Yi's figure slowly sank into the ground.
About a minute later, Lin Yi finally arrived underground.
Here, Lin Yi saw several tattered and incomplete ships, which seemed to be stranded and thrown into the depths of the cave in disorder.
Lin Yi squatted on the ground and touched it, and found that it was originally an ancient river, but as time went by, the groundwater changed its flow, and the river here was abandoned.
Lin Yi walked forward along the river, and suddenly felt something rushing over his head.
Lin Yi did not hesitate, raised his hand and pierced the incoming creature with his sword.
When he raised his wrist, he found that what was stabbed was a strange head.
The shape of this head is extremely strange. There are wings growing on both sides of the neck, and the mouth is wide open, revealing the fine and sharp teeth inside.
If you accidentally get bitten by the head of this holy statue, the consequences will not only be as simple as getting a tetanus vaccine, but you will also have to seriously consider whether a large piece of flesh will be lost from the body.
Lin Yi took out the launcher, and as three flares cut through the darkness, a dense mass of heads appeared at the top of the cave in front.
The habits of these monsters are somewhat similar to bats. They hang quietly at the top of the cave. Even if Lin Yi's flares fly quickly from below, they can't cause any reaction from them.
Seeing this, Lin Yi took out two special radios from his personal space.
The two radios recorded extremely low and extremely high audio frequencies, which are completely inaudible to humans because their frequencies are far beyond the range of human hearing.
But for these monsters in the cave that rely on sound to hunt, the situation is completely different.
They can detect these two audio frequency bands extremely keenly.
As Lin Yi placed the two radios next to the loudspeaker, two invisible sound waves began to collide fiercely at the entrance of the cave. As time went by, these sound waves continued to surge forward.
Almost instantly, the monsters on the top of the cave rioted.
Under the attack of two kinds of sound frequency, these monsters seemed to be thrown into a washing machine that was spinning at high speed and crazy. They couldn't even fly. They flapped their wings twice and fell heavily to the ground.
The most exaggerated thing is that as the audio continues to play, these monsters gradually fall into a state of extreme chaos.
They began to attack each other indiscriminately. In just one minute, half of the monsters in front of Lin Yi had died in the cannibalism.
Ten minutes later, the remaining monsters were either torn into pieces by their companions, or fell to the ground dying.
Those monsters that were still alive were no longer able to attack Lin Yi.
Seeing this, Lin Yi continued to play two types of audio, then stepped over the corpses of these monsters and continued walking forward.
About five minutes later, Lin Yi reached the end of the cave. He found a broken bridge in front of him, and the other end was about 30 meters away from him.
Lin Yi checked it visually and shook his head helplessly.
If it was a distance of 20 meters, he might be able to try to jump with the help of a run-up, but the span of 30 meters was indeed a bit difficult for him.
Just when Lin Yi was about to find other ways to cross the broken bridge, suddenly, a weak female voice whispered in his ear: "Come here quickly."
The sound was extremely weak, but it reached Lin Yi's ears clearly and unmistakably.
He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but there was nothing but darkness and a broken bridge.
Just when he was filled with doubts, a ball of blood slowly emerged from the void and floated on the broken bridge.
This mass of blood was like a meandering bloody river, starting from Lin Yi's feet and slowly spreading to the other end of the broken bridge.
In the darkness, the blood gave off a faint, dim red light, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.
Lin Yi did not embark on the road made of blood rashly.
He bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it very carefully onto the bloody road.
The stone passed directly through the blood, as if passing through a layer of illusory phantom, and then fell into the endless abyss and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi became more cautious.
He hung up a safety rope and tied it to the stone pillar. If the blood path suddenly disappeared, the safety rope would be able to prevent him from falling into the abyss.
Seeing this, Lin Yi tried to step on the bloody road with one foot.
Unexpectedly, this road made of blood turned out to be very smooth and solid. The feeling of walking on it was no different from a normal road. There was no sticky or slippery feeling under the feet.
When Lin Yi reached the halfway point of the blood trail, he suddenly felt that the blood trail behind him began to tremble violently, as if there were signs of imminent fall.
His heart tightened, and he immediately quickened his pace and started running wildly.
At the critical moment, Lin Yi finally managed to reach the other side before his blood fell into the abyss.
Although the road he came from was blocked, Lin Yi didn't care.
He hung the rope around his waist on a stone pillar nearby so that when he returned later, he could climb back directly along the rope.
After crossing the broken bridge, Lin Yi found himself in another deep and dark cave. Compared with the previous cave, this cave is littered with an increasing number of shipwrecks.
Unlike the fishing boats of the past, you can even see the remains of some small sailing boats.
Finally, Lin Yi came to the end of the cave.
Here, Lin Yi saw a statue, which stood quietly above a solemn and solemn coffin.
This statue is a striking red all over, and seems to be carefully carved from some very special ore.
From a distance, the surface of the ore seems to be constantly flowing with liquid, making the statue look like a lifelike corpse.
Lin Yi lit the two candles in front of him. As the candlelight lit up, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the chill around him had been dissipated a lot.
A golden figure appeared in front of Lin Yi.
The figure in front of him was exactly the same as the one summoned by Edas before. The only difference was that the expression of the woman in front of him was a little more sad.
"It was Diogakas who guided me here." Lin Yi said bluntly, staring at the woman in front of him, "He told me that you have a way to stop that guy Eddas."
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes.
Eddas's name seemed to touch some memories deep in her heart.
"Brother, are you still so stubborn?"
The woman in front of her was Eddas' sister, Peppetta, who was assassinated by the Temple Army.
And now, her coffin was abandoned by the Temple Army in the desolate depths of the Land of Endless Twilight.
The reason why the Holy See did this was simply because Edas was of great value to them, and they did not want Pepeta's death to affect his loyalty to the Holy See.
"Oh, please open the coffin in front of you."
Hearing Peppetta's voice, Lin Yi opened Peppetta's coffin.
After opening the coffin above Peppetta's coffin, a pungent smell hit her face.
It was the unpleasant smell of moisture mixed with rotting corpses. Lin Yi had been mentally prepared for this. The moisture inside the cave was obviously much thicker than the outside. The corpse would definitely not be preserved for long in this situation.
As the saying goes, "If it is dry for a thousand years, if it is wet for ten thousand years, it will only take half a year if it is not dry or wet."
The cave happened to be in such a state of neither dry nor wet, so Peppetta's body rotted extremely quickly.
Lying in the coffin was a corpse wearing golden armor.
She held a snake-shaped sword tightly in her hand. The blade was extremely sharp and shone with an icy cold light.
Even in such a humid environment, it remains as bright as new.
"Please take my serpentine sword and shoulder armor, their brilliance will make my brother understand everything. When the time comes, my whisper will ring in his ears, and I will implore him to help you." Peppetta Her voice gradually became weaker and weaker, and as her words ended, her figure began to slowly disappear without a trace.
Peppetta has no connection with miracles, and can even be said to be the mortal enemy of miracles.
During her days in the Temple Army, she had rescued many enemies of the church, and therefore she had long become a thorn in the church's side and a thorn in its flesh.
If it were not for her brother Edas's face, she might have been sentenced to death for being a heretic.
As Peppetta's soul dissipated, the bones in her coffin also disappeared, leaving only a snake-shaped sword and a broken scapular that exuded holy light.
Lin Yi picked up this piece of scapular, and the holy aura he felt was much stronger than any holy statue he had seen before.
Picking up the snake-shaped sword, a series of messages appeared in Lin Yi's hand.

"I wish you a safe journey." Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, Peppetta's vague, ethereal and soft voice gently echoed in his ears.
Lin Yi stood up and closed the coffin for Peppetta. At the same time, he took out an incense burner and some tributes from his personal space and placed them neatly in front of the coffin.
After completing all this, Lin Yi quickly left the cave without staying any longer.
Since the obstacles he came from had been cleared, Lin Yi left the cave much faster than when he came in.
In just about ten minutes, he arrived near the elevator entrance.
I walked onto the elevator and pulled the lever, and the elevator started to crawl crookedly and swaying again.
Perhaps due to its age and disrepair, the elevator suddenly stalled as it approached its destination and seemed to be firmly stuck.
Fortunately, it's not far from the top, only about three meters high.
Lin Yi took two steps back calmly, and with the help of his running power, he jumped up and grabbed a raised stone next to him.
He climbed along the path and soon returned to the center of the cave.
When he came here, Lin Yi could faintly feel the ground shaking slightly, and there was a dull thunder outside.
When Lin Yi left the cave, he found that not far away, dark clouds gathered above the valley, and endless thunder and lightning struck Diogakas' body fiercely.
At this time, Eddas was like a supreme god who controlled thunder and lightning.
Above him, the illusion of Pepeta created by his prayers lingered, feinting and trying to distract the enemy.
Compared to the real Pepeta, the illusion created by Eddas appears lifeless and lifeless, lacking vitality and realism.
The real Peppetta gives people a feeling of compassion, and her expression and temperament reveal a deep compassion and warmth.
Although this miraculous creation looks exactly like Peppetta, it is like a soulless puppet, only mechanically executing Eddas's orders.
"Sister? My sister! Is that you?" Edas suddenly stopped attacking. He felt the breath of his sister Peppetta, put down the sledgehammer in his hand, and began to look around eagerly.
Although there was a "Pepetta" following him, everyone present knew that it was just a false illusion, a fake created by the power of miracles, lacking real life and emotions.
Edas looked along the faint but familiar aura, and his eyes finally fell on the snake-shaped sword in Lin Yi's hand.
That was Peppetta's sword.
"elder brother."
"Sister! Where are you? Where are you!?"
Hearing Pepeta's voice, Edas' sanity was like an iron wire that had been bent to the extreme, and finally broke with a "click".
He threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, knelt on his knees, and kept scanning the surrounding air, with endless desire and expectation, hoping to find Peppetta's figure.
"Brother, you should know that I am no longer here." Peppetta's voice came from the shoulder armor in Lin Yi's hand, with a hint of sadness and helplessness.
Since her body has decayed and can no longer be used as a sustenance for her soul, she can only place her soul on this shoulder armor and bring it out through Lin Yi to have a final dialogue with Edas.
"Tell brother who killed you, and he will definitely help you get revenge." Eddas's voice trembled, revealing deep grief and anger.
At this moment, he was crying. For him, his sister Peppa was everything to him and was the most important person in his life.
