Chapter 376 Return to the Holy City and Dissolution of the Clergy

On the way back, Lake had already reminded the bald saint from the side, telling him not to have too high expectations for the treatment after returning to the holy city.

While they slay the four lairs of vampire creatures, are the heroes of the humans.

But that year, when the holy city was attacked by the third vampire lair group and asked them to rescue them, the right priests led by No. 2 Venerable went directly to attack the third lair and did not return.

The bald saint happened to be in a state of anxious battle with the first and second nest group of vampires back then, and he couldn't evacuate the priesthood he led, otherwise he would suffer heavy casualties.

The only one who went back to help back then was the now-dead left missionary group commanding the female missionary's unit, which was considered a trick of luck.

Over the years, they contacted the holy city, and their supplies were almost completely cut off.

And when the No. 2 venerable and the bald-headed saint took the priesthood to "borrow" heavy weapons and soldiers from other human cities, the holy city sent an urgent notice to them to stop this practice.

But the bald saint and Lake ignored it.

The bald saint knew this too, but for the wish of the more than a thousand priests under him who had fought with them for thirty years to return home, this time the Holy City had to go back.

A day later, the missionary group came to the foot of the holy city, but the city gate was closed tightly, and no team came out to greet them.

The people in the priesthood returned home triumphantly, and the scene of being sent into the city did not appear.

Soon, the small gate next to the city gate opened, and many soldiers with weapons appeared, "Hand over your weapons and enter the city." An old archbishop said.

He looked at the bald saint, and Lake also felt that the archbishop looked familiar. After thinking about it, he realized that it was the bald saint who took him to meet him back then, and reminded him to think carefully about the middle-aged archbishop when he joined the priesthood.

Thirty years passed, and the archbishop grew old and became an old man. The archbishop seems to have a good relationship with the bald saint.

"Put down your weapons, don't worry, we are the heroes who defeated the vampires, the holy city will not attack the heroes!" the bald saint directly ordered the priests under him to say, and he took the lead in throwing down the weapons and throwing them on the sandy ground beside his feet.

Many priests followed suit.

"Saints, very well, come in with us. All the priests go to take a hot bath and change their clothes. This battle is too long, thank you for your hard work." After watching the priests put down their weapons, the old archbishop said Said aloud.

After hearing the archbishop's words, the priests felt a little warmer in their hearts.

Although being followed by soldiers with weapons, I felt a little uncomfortable.

The priests entered the Holy City through a small door, but did not open the door to welcome the priest who survived the 30-year struggle against vampires for the sake of human survival.

After these priests entered the city, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings, today's holy city has changed greatly from thirty years ago. The buildings have become much taller, and the streets have become wider. The people inside are all dressed in black robes, and most of them wear hooded hats.

After returning to this strange home, many priests could not help but shed tears.

Thirty years of fighting, after returning, none of their relatives came to welcome the victorious division. After thirty years, they finally returned to this city that belonged to them alive.

Fortunately, the soldiers in the Holy City took the priests to disperse first, took a hot bath, provided them with a new set of clothes, and arranged accommodation and food. Food with vegetables and hot soup, although the food was simple, made these priests try to accept the holy city in their hearts.

After taking a hot bath and changing into brand new black clothes with hoods, Lake and the bald saint were taken to a room in the central area of ​​the holy city to be questioned by four archbishops.

This room made Lake feel very unfriendly. The four archbishops sat tall and high, and he and the bald saint stood in the middle.

The old archbishop who picked them up at the city gate before asked the bald saint to briefly describe the situation of fighting the vampire and the report on the final destruction of the fourth lair.

The bald saint told the passage of the past thirty years in a flat tone.

Afterwards, His Holiness No. 2, the right leader of the priesthood, was also asked to make his report.

Lake also said it again, and Lake sighed, fortunately, the lights in this room are dark, and he wears new black clothes, and he also wears a hat that pulls his head from behind.

After I put it on, I had a light cross tattoo on the top of my head, so the four major bishops didn't notice it.

"In this world, the remaining vampires have surrendered. After the fourth lair was destroyed, the few remaining vampires in the world have surrendered to our holy city and humans. The battle with the vampires is over, and the holy city is divided except for a few An empty city, set as a restricted area, to detain these vampires." An archbishop said.

Lake also knew that the elite priest team sent by him and the bald saint could only kill most of the vampire creatures that captured the city. There must be some who slipped through the net, but these scattered vampires are nothing to be afraid of.

However, the vampire queen is still outside, and the vampire queen should not have been discovered by humans in this world. This is the real hidden danger. Unfortunately, Lake has no evidence to provide the existence of the vampire queen.

Lake guessed that even the bald saints would not be able to convince him about the existence of vampires, let alone the four archbishops.

"Yes!" The bald saint didn't refute, and he didn't care about those scattered vampires.

"The priesthood has made great contributions and sacrifices in this vampire war. Now that the war is over, the priests should return to their normal lives. All priests are not allowed to use weapons to fight without the order of the church." An archbishop talking.

"Yes!" said the bald saint. He accepted the assignment more and let his subordinates live the lives of ordinary people. The bald priest felt good.

Lake smiled wryly at the side. It is not a good way out for many priests to let them live the lives of ordinary people as soon as they come back after killing the priests for thirty years.

"The members of the priesthood, if they join the priesthood as refugees, return to the previous city. Those who did not exist in the previous city will be assigned to the nearest city. Those who did not join the priesthood as refugees should stay in the holy city." An archbishop said.

"Yes!" The bald saint accepted the assignment again, and this assignment can be regarded as an explanation to the more than a thousand priests under him, although he and the No. 2 venerable will probably be forced to stay in the holy city.

Lake listened to the distribution of the priesthood, thinking that the church should be spreading the power of the priesthood to avoid rebellion.

Lake's piercing eye skills probed and found that there were no other priests in the Holy City, except for the more than a thousand priests who came back together, there were no priests.

It stands to reason that when he and the bald saint went out to fight in this holy city, there were still a small number of priests staying in the holy city to defend the holy city. These priests were injected with the holy liquid, so they were immortal. Why did they all disappear, which made Lake a little puzzled.

Lake tried to use the golden eye skill to check what happened to the half-soaked angel in the underground of the holy city.

After looking at it, Lake found that the half of the male angel still only had the upper body and half of the wings that were about to lose their feathers. It seemed to have become thinner, and there was no other change.

Lake couldn't figure out what caused the disappearance of the original priests in the Holy City in the past thirty years, so he could only investigate slowly afterwards.

Venerable No. 2 and the bald saint were required to go to the church where the church is located and pray once a day.

Four archbishops, the questioning of Lake and the bald saint ended.

The two were led away by soldiers and brought back to their original priest's building.

After checking with his sharp eyes and golden eyes skills, Lake found that in this holy city, many short priest buildings had been demolished and rebuilt into high-rise buildings, and they had already been occupied by civilians.

Fortunately, the priest building of him and the bald saint is quite tall and has not been demolished.

The rooms of Lake and the bald saint were kept. It should be because the church knew that the two were not killed in battle, so they confiscated their rooms. The bedding, bed, table and other facilities in the room, as well as some simple daily necessities, were all new. , There are also more water heaters for bathing.

Lake lay back on the bed and fell asleep first. For other things, Lake was going to investigate slowly. It is estimated that the church will pay close attention to him and the bald saint for a while after returning to the holy city.

In the first few days, Lake was not going to make any unusual moves, just live like ordinary people.

Food and drinking water can be brought to the church at will. The bald saints and the leader of the clergy do not need to work. The other clergy are assigned some manual work.

After all, priests who only know how to fight can't do other jobs well.

A month later, Lake tried to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the priests left in the holy city, but found no clues.

The ordinary citizens of this holy city, after knowing that Lake is a priest, are not as popular as when Lake first entered the holy city thirty years ago.

Now the citizens of the holy city are afraid and avoid the priest.

The cause of the disappearance of the remaining priest could not be found in the city, so Lake released the clone to stay in the city instead of him.

Lake wore black clothes, a hat and a mask, and took advantage of the darkness to teleport away.

Lake went to the small town built near the Holy City, using the red magic levitation cloak to hurry. Although it was not as fast as the power motorcycle, but with his own jogging, he could arrive within two days.

The citizens of the small town, Lake found, were more hostile to the priests than the citizens of the holy city.

Lake tried to understand the reason, only to find that he and the bald-headed saint had borrowed soldiers and heavy weapons over the years, causing public anger.

Coupled with the fact that the Holy City did not accommodate all the refugees at the beginning and asked the priests to drive away the refugees outside the city, the priesthood was blamed. Most of the small towns near the holy city are descendants of refugees.

Is this a plan that the church planned thirty years ago, or is it just a coincidence. It is estimated that the chance of coincidence is higher. After all, thirty years ago, the church did not know that the priest could defeat the vampire and survive, Lake thought.

There was no gain in the small town, so Lake decided to go back to the Holy City.

After rushing back to the Holy City at night, Reike returned to his room in the dark and changed back to his avatar.
