Chapter 92 Hidden Will-O-Wisp (Complete Chapter)
Anthony and Connor first found Pamier, and then went to the north of the mansion courtyard to meet Luo Xiu.
At this time, Luo Xiu had sneaked out of the mansion again, and he saw the figures of the three "Holy Judges" greeting him from a distance.
Luo Xiu then gathered himself and went towards them.
"Luo Xiu!" Connor waved his war hammer with an unbearable smile on his face, "We have obtained the evidence! We have obtained the evidence that Rodive and the 'Ancient Hermitage' colluded..."
As he spoke, Connor raised the secret letter he was holding in his other hand and signaled to Luo Xiu.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu had an expression of surprise on his face.
"——I didn't expect to get new evidence." Luo Xiu said, "It seems that Rodive really failed to calm down..."
"Then let's re-enter the mansion."
Anthony said: "I will sentence him face to face and control him in the name of the Holy Court. At this point, even the [supreme] high-ranking people can't say anything more."
…
The four people then came to the gate of the mansion again.
At this time, the light of Rodive's study was shining through the window on the top floor, and a bloated figure also reflected a vague outline on the window.
"...Rodiff is in the study."
Anthony looked up and observed. He was about to knock on the door, but after thinking about it he put his hand down.
Then, he raised his foot and kicked out the door lock!
——Bang! The door was kicked open and the door turned violently inward. Anthony led three members of the "Holy Judge" and strode inwards.
They walked straight through the first three floors of the mansion and broke into Rodive's study on the top floor.
The study door was unlocked, so Pamier stepped forward, turned the handle, and opened the door.
"——Lodiv! We have..."
Anthony suddenly choked on half of his prepared speech.
He saw an extremely strange sight.
Right before his eyes, the "Lord of Lodiv" was indeed sitting on a chair in the study.
However, his head was tilted to one side, his eyes were wide open and turned completely white; pale white, turbid saliva was flowing from his nose and mouth, and he seemed to be repeating some vague sentences in his mouth;
His hands and feet were twisted in unnatural postures; his body would tremble from time to time, accompanied by rapid breathing and hoarse murmurs that seemed to be frightened and frightened.
"...What's wrong with him?" Anthony frowned and quickly stepped forward.
Luo Xiu and Connor kept a synchronized expression. He looked at Anthony's body exuding a brilliant white luster, and his right hand was already covered with a light golden haze.
Anthony reached out his hand and touched Rodive's forehead, feeling the spiritual surge in his body.
After a long time, Anthony withdrew his hand and said with a complicated expression: "...His spirituality has been completely messed up, and his soul has also been messed up...there is no hope."
"How could this happen?" Connor was stunned, "The evidence..."
"The evidence is still useful." Anthony said slowly, but his tone was a little low, "As long as he is not really dead, we can still put him on trial. But, just... I always feel that this is not right."
Palmier added:
"He looks like his soul has been disturbed by something..."
"However, it may be that he is simply scared out of his mind. Because from this position, you can see the battle between Connor and the 'Hand of the Mage'."
With that said, Pamier came to the window. She opened the window, and the traces left by Connor's previous battle with "Mage's Hand" were clearly visible from here.
"...Let's think it's the latter first." Anthony nodded, but he always felt that there seemed to be some important voice missing.
Immediately, Anthony found the source of the "missing", glanced at Luo Xiu and asked:
"Luo Xiu, what do you think?"
"...I don't know either." Luo Xiu then spread his hands and said, "But 'Lodiv' seems to be trying to say something."
After hearing Luo Xiu's words, Anthony immediately turned his attention to Rodive again.
Indeed, just as Luo Xiu said, Rodive's mouth seemed to be slurping slightly, and some small and vague sound came out of it.
Anthony then leaned down and put his ear in front of Rodive, carefully discerning what he was talking about.
After a long time, Anthony raised his head and said:
"-'The Ancient Priory'-'Mawei Street'-'Alley No. 16', Lodiff seemed to be saying these repeatedly."
"...could be the location of their real 'stronghold'."
Luo Xiu said in a timely manner, "I think we can understand this as the destination of the 'secret letter' that Rodive wants to send... I think this is worth trying."
Anthony didn't respond for the time being. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"Okay, just do as you say."
"Then, let's take Lodiv back to the church and control him first. Then you can follow me..."
"Let's go to Lane 16 tonight."
…
After the "Holy Judges" brought Rodive back to the church for supervision, Connor woke up the sleeping pastor of the "Red Maple City Church" and asked him to follow the team to participate in the "In-depth Mawei Street" ruling operation.
With Anthony as the leader of the team, a total of five members secretly moved towards the location of "Alley No. 16, Mawei Street".
Lane No. 16, Mawei Street, was originally the wine alley of a manor.
The original owner of "Mawei Manor" wanted to build a small wine alley with regional wine culture characteristics, but in the end it went bankrupt due to poor management.
Later acquirers converted "Mawei Manor" into a casino on the original basis, while "No. 16 Liquor Alley" was converted into a warehouse alley, but some traces of the original wine alley were still retained.
…
The warehouse doors covered by curtains are all tightly closed. This is not a night market or a residential area. There are very few people wandering around here late at night.
It is precisely for this reason that this place is very suitable for hiding some secret organizations.
At this time, according to the existing information.
The "Spiritual Beloveds" of the "Ancient Hermitage" have been seriously injured by the backlash, and their maximum combat power has been reduced by at least half.
The remaining [Lost] second-level destiny heretics are dealt with by four [Glorious] second-level destiny extraordinary people.
After everyone's responsibilities were assigned and tactics were completely arranged during the march, everyone arrived at "Mawei Street-Alley No. 16" and began to look for possible entrances to the stronghold.
When a group of people passed by the entrance of a deep alley, Anthony suddenly stopped.
"...I heard the gloomy spiritual wind coming from this deep alley." Anthony said.
Everyone stopped as Anthony stopped.
Among all the believers of [Glory] present, Anthony's "Perception" attribute is the highest.
The abnormal spiritual surge he "perceived" was very likely to be the enemy's real stronghold.
Anthony then took off his war hammer and led the team deep into the alley.
…
"Two 'Holy Servants' are guarding the entrance to a warehouse shrouded in black curtains."
Palmier's voice rang in everyone's ears. The "Holy Judges" were hiding behind a pile of wooden boxes, observing the situation in front of them.
From Anthony's "perception" perspective, this is the source of the strange spiritual surge. If nothing else, this is the real stronghold of the "Ancient Hermitage".
This time, they had obtained the information from the mouth of the "Lordive City Lord", and with this intelligence advantage, they were prepared to catch the "Hermitage" off guard.
Anthony condensed a golden spear of light in his left hand. He revealed his figure to the two "Holy Servants" and at the same time threw the spear of light in his hand hard!
——His! The light spear split into two in mid-air and penetrated the chests of the two "Holy Servants" respectively. Blood spattered out, and the two heretics fell to the ground.
The "three-pointed knife" originally held in their hands fell to the ground with a clang. The thick grease mixed with the flowing blood gave off an inexplicable fishy smell.
Anthony held the war hammer in his right hand, and his left hand had turned translucent gold again. He smashed the entrance barrier with one hammer, revealing the entrance to the depths of the stronghold.
Then, Anthony strode deeper inward, with the other "Holy Judges" following closely behind him.
Through the light emitted by Anthony's left hand, everyone was able to see clearly the true appearance of the interior of the "Ancient Hermitage" stronghold.
This is a long and narrow underground chamber connected up and down.
Above is an ordinary warehouse, but inside the warehouse is a wide staircase leading to the lower level, which connects to the deep darkness and leads to an unknown end point.
Anthony opened his senses and stepped into the lower level as cautiously as possible.
The moment Anthony entered the lower chamber, five or six cursed beams of light shot towards Anthony's position from the deep shadows!
It was sometimes scarlet, sometimes purple, dirty light, like a slithering snake, shooting towards Anthony from different directions.
Suddenly encountering a sneak attack from the enemy, Anthony held his left hand and condensed a golden round shield of radiance out of thin air, and raised it to the position where the cursed beam was focused.
——Boom boom boom boom! Five curse beams hit the round shield, the golden light and shadow instantly dimmed, and a squeaking sound emerged from the shield.
The next moment, the light shield burst into pieces, and a faint purple light suddenly flashed on the surface of Anthony's left hand.
"This is a spell cast by the enemy's 'spell master' on me. The fact that a real 'extraordinary one' is attacking us means we are in the right place this time."
Anthony said, his tone relaxed, and at the same time he made a purification spell and applied it to himself to purify the effect of the "mild curse" just now.
The next moment, the rustling sound came from the depths of the stronghold again.
There seemed to be something, and the swarm was rushing toward their location.
Luo Xiu immediately applied "consecration blessing" and "consecration prayer" to everyone. After that, he took off the cloth wrapped around the head of the "Moon-Cutting Scythe" in his right hand and poured his own spirituality into it.
——Buzz! The Scythe of the Moon suddenly buzzed, and the staff also vibrated slightly.
A layer of light blue rune luster quickly flowed over the scythe of the Scythe of the Moon, and the "runes" activated by spirituality gradually accumulated into the energy accumulation on the scythe blade.
Luo Xiu then held the "Moon-Cutting Scythe" in both hands and swung it deeper.
Two light cyan moon blades detached from the sickle blade of the "Moon-Cutting Scythe" and quickly flew towards the depths.
——Boom! !
The light and shadow of the cyan moon blade illuminated both walls of the passage, and countless strange "creations" were cut off halfway by the two moon blades. The moon blade finally hit the deepest part of the long and narrow corridor, making two dull booming sounds.
Anthony turned his head and glanced at the long magic staff in Luo Xiu's hand. He praised: "Your magic staff is good."
Luo Xiu nodded slightly in response, and at the same time spread his "perception" outward.
His perception was not as good as Anthony's, but he could still detect whether there was any remaining danger within a certain range. After not noticing any strange spiritual surges in the depths, the team continued to move forward.
The ground was full of weird and wriggling cursed spirit fragments. Those were the "corpses" of the weird creation that Luo Xiu had just cut off with his sickle.
As they walked deeper, the sharp-eyed Connor was the first to notice a severed arm that had fallen to the ground.
Its owner should be the "curse master" who attacked Anthony before, but he also had an arm cut off by Luo Xiu using the rune skill of the sickle staff - "Blue Moon Shadow Blade Style".
…
When the "Holy Judges" reached the end of the corridor, they stopped in front of a spacious door on the side.
Weird restless sounds kept coming from behind the door.
Pamier took a step forward, slammed the sword in his hand to the ground, and at the same time, using himself as the starting point, he built a golden wall with golden light overflowing on the semi-arc surface in front of him.
That was the first time Luo Xiu saw that a layer of dense golden lines flashed across Pamier's "Paladin Armor".
——Holy light protection!
The unique skills of the Paladin used by Pamier this time are much more sophisticated than those in Dawn Town, and they can completely withstand most attacks below the level of the same level.
Then, the next moment.
Like a roaring dragon, it slammed outward from behind the door!
The turbid light beam, which was mixed with scarlet and deep purple colors, smashed the wooden door on the spot and crashed directly into the solid wall built by Pamier.
Countless streams of light scattered around, and the astigmatism of the "curse" eroded all tangible objects around it.
——Boom boom boom boom! The successive explosions caused the ground to tremble violently, but such a large impact did not shake Pamier's figure at all.
"Pamier, the armor he is wearing is a paladin's armor rated as 'epic' by the church. It is an ancestral heirloom of their family."
While waiting for the shock to subside, Anthony said to Luo Xiu, "So, just get used to scenes like this... you will see more in the future."
The "epic" level is equipment quality two levels higher than the "rare" level.
A trace of surprise flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes: "No wonder... I see Pamier wearing this set of Paladin heavy armor every day."
If it is equipment that has been "worn" or "worn" by other NPCs, Luo Xiu's player panel cannot see the specific quality and value of those equipment.
Therefore, Luo Xiu was still a little surprised when he learned that Pamier was actually wearing an "epic" piece of equipment.
What kind of family background... Luo Xiu's thoughts were racing in his mind.
…
The small talk going on behind Pamier gradually stopped as the impact weakened.
At this time, Luo Xiu was able to reverse the direction of the impact and clearly see the source of the curse.
They were eight "holy servants" and two leading "cursors". They were holding spell rods of different shapes, and surging curse beams were fired from the rods.
When the ten curse beams converged together, they formed a terrifying torrent of curses, but this torrent did not break through Pamier's fortified city alone.
When the light of a damning torrent carried out by these cloistered heretics faded.
The believers were shocked to see that the target of their attack was protected by a golden wall, and all of them were unscathed!
The faces of the believers suddenly showed a look of fear.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for them to cast spells, the "Holy Judges" rushed forward one after another and entered the group of heretics.
Luo Xiu observed the changes in the battle situation and mingled with his teammates to play guerrilla.
Golden light flew away, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the secret room was suddenly filled with the smell of blood.
While assisting, Luo Xiu targeted the two "spell masters" who had lost their second level of destiny, and when they were low on health, he accurately closed their tail swords with "Holy Light Annihilation".
After obtaining the maximum experience points, the remaining holy servants were killed by teammates, and the room was suddenly filled with corpses.
"This is indeed the real 'Hermitage' stronghold..."
"These people are all genuine [Lost] believers."
Anthony said, looking at the other door in the room.
At this time, he could clearly feel the extremely manic spirituality coming from behind the door.
The strange spiritual surge was not just in one place, but almost filled the entire room.
Like countless "ghosts", they are constantly wandering and swimming, while unreservedly and wantonly exuding extremely hungry spiritual agitation.
"The last room should be ahead..." Anthony said.
"Cheer up, everyone, and be careful."
