Chapter 170 169. Heart of the Ocean

Following the system's prompts, Mo Cheng searched for two things in the ruined house.

One is the necklace that fell to the ground after the body of the magic monk turned into smoke.

The other one was a magatama stained with blood.

[Obtain neutral item: Heart of the Ocean]

[The reward after crossing the ocean is both a reward and a curse, although the bearer is not aware of its existence. 】

(Heart of the Ocean: A talisman blessed by the Cangyang Council. +All attributes: 5)

(Passive: Recovery in water

Provides 10 points/second health recovery and 5 points/second magic recovery in the river. )

"So, according to the system's judgment, this guy is considered a wild monster? So what does anyone lower than this guy count, a soldier?"

The system's judgment and data have always been a mystery to Mo Cheng. Without an accurate reference coordinate system, he could only rely on his own experience for comparison. But obviously, compared to a clear reference coordinate system, his experience is not so accurate.

But the equipment that was revealed was still something that could be used directly, so Mo Cheng had no reason not to take it.

After equipping [Heart of the Ocean] in the neutral inventory, Mo Cheng immediately felt something calling in a distant place, calling his mother who was a wanderer in the distance returning home, giving him an urge to go to the seaside.

But he restrained himself and suppressed the unwarranted impulse. Mo Cheng frowned and looked at the system explanation text of [Heart of the Ocean]. It was obvious that the impulse he just had was after Magic Monk and others traveled across the ocean. , bringing certain blessings and curses to the land.

And Mo Cheng also suspected that the thing that could seriously injure the magic monk to the point where it was almost impossible to heal the injury might be a powerful life in the deep sea.

Remove [Heart of the Ocean] from the neutral inventory. If you want this thing to be effective, you need to find at least a river. At present, this equipment does not have much effect except that it looks good.

Although the added attributes worn on the body are useful, the people he has to deal with next are the people from the Inquisition. Mo Cheng does not intend to be dominated by the urge to go to the seaside during the battle.

During a battle, if your body is not under your control even for a moment, the consequences will be absolutely tragic.

As for the other magatama with blood stains, Mo Cheng couldn't find out what its purpose was for the time being, so he could only put it away and study it later.

…

On the other side, a group of people from the Inquisition were walking in the darkness. In addition to Captain Hardy and two others who were in the room at the beginning, there were also five people who were waiting outside and would come to respond in case of a conflict. people.

I thought that the three of us would be able to subdue the pagans who had traveled across the ocean, but we didn't expect that the other party would have such powerful power even if they were injured.

If you take everyone up there, no, you can't.

Captain Hardy knew that the opponent's living creature-like darkness was very terrifying, and even the holy light could swallow things up. If they all went up, they might be completely annihilated.

Perhaps he was able to come out alive because the other party was not sure of wiping out all the members of the Heretic Tribunal outside.

However, the task is not completed until it is completed. As the leader of this team, Captain Hardy has only two choices.

One is the punishment for not completing the task.

The other one is...

"Snapped!"

Hardy suddenly turned around and slapped a team member behind him with the sound of wind in his palm, "Nightingale, why didn't you completely liberate the [Soul Tool] just now?!"

The member named [Nightingale] wears a mask and looks like a woman. The all-black priest uniform does not reflect any light. In his hand is a scythe as tall as a person. In this dark environment , this scythe can actually make people who see it feel like "this thing is the real darkness".

Nightingale lowered her head slightly. Her voice was obviously hoarse after being processed, and the original timbre could not be heard. "I don't have enough control over my [Soul Tool], so I can't liberate myself in that environment."

At that time, the whispers in the [Dark Mandala] were dismantling Nightingale's fighting spirit, and were also interfering with her connection with the [Soul Tool], invisibly blocking her ability to liberate the [Soul Tool].

"Trash!" Hardy pinched Nightingale's neck. The chain blocked all Nightingale's power and pressed her against the wall.

There was undisguised anger in Hardy's eyes, "Because of your incompetence, you are fully responsible for the failure of this mission!"

Hardy didn't intend to take the responsibility for the failure of the mission, so naturally he had to find someone to take the blame. The Inquisition always looked at the results regardless of losses when it came to missions.

If the mission fails, there will be punishment.

And Nightingale is the one chosen by Hardy to take the blame.

The others said nothing and watched silently as the captain pinched Nightingale's neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Everyone present knew that Nightingale's adoptive father, Wolfe, had been at loggerheads with Captain Hardy. Wolfe had even almost killed Hardy because of their ideological differences.

Later, Wolfe took Nightingale to lurk in Fairhaven, and died of a recurrence of his injuries a few years ago. The superiors wanted to reactivate Fairhaven's Inquisition team, so they sent a captain over to "awaken" them.

When they knew that the captain was Hardy, they already knew that Nightingale's situation was doomed.

Hardy will not let Wolf go, even if he is dead, he will vent his anger on Nightingale.

"Deliberately not liberating the [Soul Tool], putting us at a disadvantage when talking. Nightingale, I suspect you have betrayed!"

Betrayal is a frightening word. In the Inquisition, the price paid for "betrayal" is painful and eternal.

"I don't!"

She tried her best to open her mouth and deny Hardy's accusation. She knew that once she was accused like this, according to the regulations of the Inquisition, Hardy could let everyone kill her first and then erase all traces of her.

"No, you did! You betrayed the brilliance, you are a heretic!"

Hardy pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Nightingale's abdomen. Nightingale, whose power was blocked by the captain, had no power to resist at all.

"You and Wolfe's church, that Licker church that adopted a group of little heretics, is called the Albert House, right? They are all going to die!"

Now it is no longer simply about letting people take the blame. Hardy is completely motivated by his original personal grudge. He wants to destroy Wolfe and his adopted daughter, and also destroy the last traces that guy left in the world.

But at this moment, a ray of pure light flew out, first piercing the chest of a member, and then a ray of light shot out from behind and hit Hardy's back.

"Enemy attack!"

The others reacted instantly, and when they were about to disperse to look for the enemy, two figures with endless fear in the darkness passed over their heads like big birds.

It flashed away like a phantom, but the heads of the two members disappeared along with the figure, and the blood in their bodies gushed out like a fountain.

Death toll: 3.

The current number of survivors in the Inquisition: 5.
