Chapter 70 The Old Ones

invite? Owner? What the hell?

Wait a minute. That is to say, he is also here for the first time?

A guess suddenly popped up in Yago's mind.

You're not kidding me, are you?

Just find a way to get over it first.

"No, I'm not the master here."

Yago lowered his voice, speaking in Arabic, and wanted to make his voice lower, but he didn't need to do this and would not reveal his original voice.

The voice he made was hoarse and piercing like bones rubbing against each other, with a deep feeling like the whispers of countless ghosts.

This weird voice made Ashurn feel chills all over his body. He straightened his mind and recalled the humbleness he should maintain when facing the superior:

"So, you are?"

"I am."

Yago paused suddenly, and then two words appeared in his mind:

"Just a guard, a gatekeeper."

guard! ?

In the bone-piercing coldness accompanied by the hoarse and piercing voice, Ashun's mood was turbulent.

There was a little surprise in the panic.

"Watchmen."

He has heard the word.

Just before, during the battle where the Brigade of the Dead attacked the Broken Cog stronghold.

As the Extraordinary newly received by Broken Gear, he was spared from the battle to the death.

He heard this word from the mouth of the high-sequence Extraordinary who rushed to support.

The other party's original words at the time were:

"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary ceremony. It's just a low-level ceremony that imitated the ceremony of the gate of the underworld. Looking at these materials, you can tell that it's not the real body. Even if it is the real body, you can't call the "gatekeeper". It has reached the level of the old ruler, and without a large-scale ceremony, it is impossible for this level to come to the material world from the infinite deep space."

The old ruler refers to a powerful existence that once dominated a certain land in the material world.

In the War of Faith, existences of this level stepped into the material world and caused the death of a large number of Extraordinary people from low to high ranks in various churches. He could feel the shock from the records that passed by.

According to rumors, the most powerful old rulers who have appeared in the War of Faith are the apostles.

The apostle, that is, the apostle of the god, because the attendant left after the god returned to nothingness, is also the so-called obedience to the god.

Those existences, without the restriction and control of the true god, may not necessarily all stay in the boundless deep space and wait for the return of the gods.

Moreover, because of the return of the gods, no one knows whether they can maintain themselves.

Whether it is because of loss of reason or restlessness, as long as these existences have the opportunity, Ashun has no doubt that they will induce and intervene in the rituals of the material world, try to open the door to the material world, and try to dominate the material world.

He didn't know which level of the sequence the "gatekeeper" mentioned by the high-sequence Extraordinary was, but it was definitely a high-sequence.

Because of the history of the War of Faith that he has learned, the word "Old Lord" is almost equivalent to the apostle in his impression. No, no, just said "gatekeeper", this word does not necessarily correspond to the existence of a high-sequence name.

The original meaning of "janitor" is the person who guards the door.

Arthur suppressed his emotions and lowered his head.

However, when he lowered his head, he saw the swaying robe with no wind and nothing under it.

spirit body! ?

As far as he knows, there are no spirit bodies in the low-level sequence of the gravekeeper pathway.

Sequence 6? Sequence 5? Or higher! ?

Compared with the conjecture that he might have misunderstood the meaning just now, the current situation made Ashurn even more disturbed.

Because it was just speculation before.

But now it is evidence that the other party's rank can be determined to be at least a strong person of Sequence 6, Intermediate Sequence and above.

The chill that soaked through his heart and made the spiritual mist in his body wilt just now was undoubtedly the effect of a certain sequence of abilities from the Gravekeeper pathway.

Uneasiness and fear accumulated in Ashurn's heart.

He is usually extremely calm, but he can't calm down at this time.

He shouted loudly in his heart, why did he enter here when he felt the throbbing just now! ? Cthulhu!

Is it a conspiracy that has been planned since the dead brigade attacked the broken gear stronghold! ?

No! He still has work to do!

Looking at the slightly trembling body of the man in the brown tuxedo in front of him, Yago was extremely confused.

What is he thinking? Why are you shaking? Are you scared?

At this time, Yago really wanted to have some psychology.

It's a pity that the number of times the gambler's fallacy has been used has reached the limit. He dared not use it even if he wanted to.

However, just follow the attitude of the other party and fool him away.

Yago, who knows nothing, has no intention of making a show operation to pretend to be an evil god to gather two or five boys, nor does he intend to make any show operation, but he can still pretend to be mysterious to fool people.

Plainly, with an indifferent tone, he said in Arabella:

"Don't be afraid, I'm just a guard, a gatekeeper."

"Compared to you, I look forward to when the bell will ring."

He raised his head and looked at the huge clock tower touching the dark sky, the huge black clock hanging on the top.

Hearing the hoarse, piercing and cold voice, Ashun raised his head cautiously, and then saw the movement of the other party's head up, he couldn't help but lighten his movement, turned around, and looked up.

black clock.

Huge black clock.

Black Bell Church! ? Not the Brigade of the Dead! ?

It was the Black Bell Church that worshiped several old rulers, caused chaos in the war of faith, and was destroyed by the army of various churches! ? Not the Church of Death who fell because of the return of the gods to nothingness! ?

Ashun finally confirmed that what he stepped into was the Church of the Evil God, and it was also the Church of the Black Bell that was kept secret by the Church.

He took a breath, trying to calm his beating heart under the pressure of suffocation, but instead of being quiet, his heart vibrated even more violently.

If this is the secret stronghold of the Black Bell Church, then what I got is .

He unconsciously touched the monocle stuck between his eyebrows and cheekbones. This piece of mysterious object, which he thought would bring him luck, has become a synonym for danger at this moment.

Seeing his movements, Yago immediately remembered the statue that collapsed just now, and that statue also wore glasses.

With the idea of ​​asking for more information, he continued to pretend to be mysterious, and said in an indifferent tone:

"How is it? Is it easy to use?"

Yago's inquiry, the hoarse and piercing cold voice, made Ashun couldn't help but pause.

really! This mystery is the bait used by the Church of the Black Bell to lure the greedy and trap the ignorant!

Holding his breath, Ashun, who gradually calmed down, showed a smile:

"Yeah, it brings me a lot."

Such an ambiguous answer.

Listening to the answer, Yago couldn't help but slander.

What he wants to ask is ability.

Although the styles are different, there may be some commonalities in function.

and

If there are words on the mask, are there words on the monocle?

However, the other party seems to have a great reaction to the bell tower, so I need to look for news about the bell tower later.

but

How did the other party get in?

Did he find the clock tower through the mask and come in through the clock tower like him?

And is the other party from the book world or from the "real world"?

What about identity?

Yago is not sure whether people from the world in the book can come in.

There are still many unresolved issues that need to be clarified by him.

"Then, take advantage of it, as one of us."

After pretending to say something mysteriously, Yago began to think about how to fool the other party out, and prepared to leave here himself.

However, at the moment when he was concentrating on this matter, there was a sound of closing the door in his ear.

At the same time, the man wearing the monocle in front of him disappeared.

Arabella, in Crowredo's workshop, looking at the familiar table and the closed door, Ashurn's face was cloudy and he took off the monocle stuck in front of his eyes.

After a few minutes, he calmed down, put on the monocle again, stuffed the blue gem at the end of the metal chain into his breast pocket, and muttered to himself:

"As one of us."
