Chapter 211: Undercurrent of Heresy

The soldiers blocked all the main passages and sealed the water around the business hall opened by the gray elves, but this did not prevent the rumors and the truth in the rumors from quickly fermenting in the ordinary population - soon there were countless rumors about the darkness. , blood, sacrificial ceremonies, heresy rumors spread in the town, and the skeletons carried out from the business hall at night seemed to confirm everyone's claims.

The Duke of Westland, Berdwin Franklin, arrived at the scene in a low-key manner under the escort of soldiers. He frowned, looking at the business hall that was still emitting the slight smell of blood, and the ignorant and foolish people in the distance who were poking their brains to watch here. In a very bad mood.

It is not necessary for a duke to personally pay attention to what is happening in a small town, but at the time of the incident, Baldwin Franklin happened to be hunting in the hunting ground near the town of Jinlin.

Recently, cults all over the kingdom have been making troubles. Not long ago, the king sent a message that he should be careful of cults, and there have indeed been several disturbing terrorist incidents in the western region. Duke Baldwin Franklin is worried. Here - that's why he chose to come to this secluded place for winter hunting to relax his mind, but he didn't expect that the cult incident would appear to be against him at this juncture, appearing right under his nose.

"My lord," a cronie leaned over and said in a low voice, "Do you want to disperse those pariahs?"

"They're just ignorant, they don't know what terror is," said Baldwin in a bad mood. "I made the soldiers block the road to save the lives of those idiots, but since they're too stupid to understand this, let Let them meet up a street away, just don't disturb this place."

"Yes, my lord, your kindness is touching," said the confidant, bowing his head, "you want to go in...to see for yourself?"

"That's what I came for."

Bai Dewen pushed open the door of the business hall, and a strong bloody aura immediately rushed towards his face.

The dark red blood that has dried up can be seen everywhere in the business hall. On the ground, on the walls, on the roof, and even on every table and chair, every piece of furniture, every window sill, there is blood all over it - it's almost like a madman dipped in blood. All the blood was taken, and it was tingling on the scalp as it was carefully applied to every surface.

And between the bloodstains that have solidified, you can see the human-shaped imprints that are darker in color, which is extremely strange.

"What's going on with these imprints?" Baldwin Franklin sensed subtle magic fluctuations from the imprints and asked.

"It's caused by corrosion, my lord," a man dressed as a priest walked out of the people who were tidying up the scene. He performed the etiquette of a Holy Light believer in front of the Duke of the West, and replied respectfully, "Judging from the traces on the scene, he was People affected by magic or participating in cult sacrifices first carried out crazy self-mutilation activities in this hall, and smeared their own blood in all corners of the room, and then they concentrated on these positions, and the remaining blood in the body began to be in the evil magic. Boiling and corrupting under the influence, the flesh that flows from them forms these corrosion marks, so all we see when we come here are the bones."

Anger appeared on the Duke of West Territory's face: "I don't want to know too many details, I just want to know who did it."

"This is a typical sacrificial ground for the death of all things," replied the Holy Light priest, "they advocate the destruction of living flesh and blood and embrace death. According to my judgment, the cultists who carried out this evil sacrificial were collected on the spot. of those bones—blood sacrifices of this scale,

Cultists will choose to kill themselves with their victims to maximize their goals. "

The Duke of Westland looked into the priest's eyes: "Their purpose? What is their purpose?"

"They should be planning to create a plague and spread the plague to the western border of the kingdom and the Mosswood Forest at the same time," the priest pointed to the nearby walls. On the walls contaminated with blood, a faint golden rune of holy light could be seen faintly. It was flickering slightly, and the strands of black air quickly dissipated under the illumination of the holy light, "When I arrived here, the whole building was already filled with the smell of plague. Fortunately, the Lord guided me to discover the cultists in advance. Conspiracy, I can dispel the evil magic that is about to take shape at the first time, and set up a purification barrier. Sir, now there is no need to worry about the plague. "

"These degenerate and twisted freaks! Their souls should be taken away by the devil, and never run out of hell!" Baldwin Franklin was rarely really angry, but he still tried to maintain his demeanor, and Nodding to the priest of the Holy Light, "Father, you saved this town and the lives of everyone around the town! You deserve my thanks and compensation."

"Purification of evil is the path that the Lord has entrusted to us," the priest said sympathetically. "I am more worried about those mad cultists attacking areas that have not been protected by the Lord, rather than personal gain."

"Near this business hall is the Church of the Blood God, but the priests there have no idea about the evil that happened around them." The Duke of West Territory shook his head, "The first ones to arrive were the ones you led. Priest Holy Light..."

"It's not the messengers of the blood gods," the priest of the Holy Light said immediately, "it's just that their magic is not useful at this time. The power of the god of light is specialized in fighting evil, we just It just happened to be a matter of time.”

The Duke of West Territory showed a thoughtful look: "To fight against evil... The cultists in the kingdom are getting more and more rampant, and what we need at this time is the strength to fight against evil..."

The priest bowed his head deeply: "The servant of the God of Light will be obliged."

...

Cultists are bothering the nobles all over Ansu, but in the southern region where they first disturbed the storm, the situation is gradually calming down.

It seems that after the successive setbacks of the Doomsday Society and the Eternal Sleeper, the dark sects felt a little bit troubled about this desolate and backward region adjacent to the wasteland of Gondor. In the case of a large number of optional targets in the kingdom, They temporarily gave up the plan to continue doing things here.

Gawain couldn't guess what the cultists were thinking, but he was happy to accept this rare peaceful time, and planned to take this opportunity to continue lighting the technology tree on the territory.

The basic rune array that Jenny and Rebecca parsed is gradually coming in handy.

On the desk in front of him is the dismantled general-purpose gauntlet. This is the "Type I scorching ray gun" currently equipped by soldiers in the territory. Compared with the original rough test model, it has been mass-produced. The inside of the gauntlet is more reasonable in structure, and the various parts are more standardized and easy to replace. After opening its shell and a layer of protective cover, you can see the modular rune trigger, magic capacitor, magic guide slot and The scorching ray board is located at the front of the gauntlet, and in addition, there are two free slots in the magic guide slot, which is designed according to Gawain's previous instructions, which is convenient for later transformation and upgrade. expandable area.

Jenny and Rebecca stood beside the table, the latter took out a rune board and handed it over: "Here you are."

Gawain took the base plate, and on the edge of the hexagonal metal plate, he saw a neat line of stenciled text: Universal Type I - Force Field Shield Module.

He opened the restriction clip on the magic guide slot inside the gauntlet and installed the new module in place. With a slight click, several runes on the force field shield module glowed slightly - from The energy of the magic capacitor has successfully activated this new component.

Jenny explained next to him: "After turning on the force field shield, the number of shots of the scorching rays will be reduced by half, but the force field shield is not a function that needs to be turned on all the time. You can control it by adding a new rune trigger. Disabled. Acting as an energy shield with a limited area of ​​defense, it allows soldiers to turn on the force field shield only when engaged in close combat.”

Rebecca immediately added: "We originally planned to get a third-level eggshell shield, but later found that the energy consumption was too high, and the gauntlets could not last a few minutes, so we had to give the second-level mana field shield first. Get in!"

Gawain raised his eyelids and glanced at the iron-headed girl: "What the hell is the eggshell shield - that's the mage shield! Don't blindly name it just because it looks like an eggshell?"

Rebecca scratched her hair: "Hehe, you just know what I mean anyway..."

Gawain glanced at the girl indifferently: "How much has the function of the next-generation armor been realized?"

"Oh, we have successfully integrated the combat backpack and the armor into one piece, and it is detachable, so that the array on the armor can be directly powered by the combat backpack, and when necessary, the backpack can be discarded to reduce weight or Replace it, because the breastplate is also equipped with a magic capacitor, so it can continue to fight for a period of time even if it is removed from the combat backpack," Rebecca said cheerfully, taking out the drawing she drew overnight. The blueprint was shown to Gawain, "Look, we first integrated the first-level breeze shield into the breastplate, which consumes the least amount of physical protection. Although it does not have much physical protection, it can filter poisonous breath and plague-like spells, allowing soldiers to survive harsh conditions. It is safer in the environment, and according to your tips, we also added runes of heat insulation and weight reduction to the inner layer of the armor. These are all magic-level or first-level spells, which can be completely used when there is a combat backpack as an energy source. keep it going..."

Rebecca described excitedly, and Gawain nodded with satisfaction. Although some basic functions were implemented, the idea of ​​​​using a new type of magic circle to achieve the effect of similar enchanted weapons is obviously correct, but Rebecca said After speaking, he stopped, his face was a little frustrated: "But you mentioned adding a jet device behind the armor, and the soldier can charge forward while breathing fire as long as he shouts 'Char!' I really don't have eyes and eyes, I want to add a fireball array at the back, but I find that it will blow up the surrounding teammates..."

Gao Wen almost choked to death with a saliva: "Pfft - didn't I tell you that it was a joke!?"

"But it sounds super cool!" Rebecca looked at Gawain with sparkling eyes, "and there is a bunch of glowing streamers behind the armor, so long as you jump three meters high, you can launch arcane missiles in all directions. What……"

"You give me to forget all these!!"
