Chapter 541 The Storm Is Coming
What the hell? Why does this thing look so familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
Damn, it's the Hound of Tindalos. This is a scene that disturbs the doghouse. Needless to say, we know who is here.
It must be Mr. Milt.
The hound hasn't appeared yet. Lynch and the two girls subconsciously observed the crowd around them, but saw that the jubilant parade had no reaction to the changes around them, as if they didn't see it at all.
Oh, right.
Lynch remembered that many mysterious phenomena are invisible to ordinary people who have not experienced mysterious contact. Only the Soul Forsaken and the survivors of mysterious events can see them, such as Mrs. Maggie and little Martha.
Uh, I hope they are not nearby, otherwise they will be scared to death.
But what is going on? Why is he running naked at home instead of running here?
No, his sister Skye said that they had a fight with Kelvin, a believer of the Ancient Flasher who planned the sneak attack, and they wanted to fight him to the end. So, does his appearance here mean...
"Hiss, it's Milt, Kelvin must have arrived nearby. He's probably coming for the Light of Miracle. They haven't given up yet."
As soon as the words were in their ears, the group saw a man standing at the door of the Dark Night Cathedral.
He was wearing a white suit, a white cloak on his back, and a cane in his hand. He was standing at the door of the church, with his hands behind his back and looking up at the stars under the dome above his head. As if sensing the sight of the four people, the man turned around, took off his hat to reveal a face that Lin Qi felt a little familiar, and bowed elegantly.
At the same time, several large groups of hounds had jumped into the world with the blue mist around them, swinging their long tongues and silently pounced on the back of the man in white. The other party still maintained the posture of touching his chest and bowing, smiled at the four people, and disappeared on the spot just before the hounds pounced on him.
Poof.
I don't know how many hounds pounced in vain, looked around stupidly, and then jumped into the air and disappeared. The blue mist in the sky also quickly dissipated, just as abruptly as when it appeared.
"Damn it, it's Milt, I don't recognize him even with his clothes on."
Before the voice fell, the two girls subconsciously took a step back, and Nightingale also glanced at him with a suspicious and scrutinizing look.
No, you misunderstood.
However, before Lynch had time to explain, several dark knights in leather armor rushed out of the church and stared at the empty door for a while. After all, Ms. Nightingale was knowledgeable and had recovered from the change just now. She took the three people to greet them and was invited into the church by the knights.
It was empty inside, with only people from the church. Many fully armed church knights and priests in holy robes patrolled the hall, obviously on high alert.
However, nothing happened yet. There was no sign of invasion in the church. The knights only rushed out to check when they noticed something strange at the door. Seeing that Lynch and his four companions had returned, they took them to a separate underground secret room without any instructions.
Unlike the secret room in the red-haired Mrs. Bessie's shop where strange objects were stored, the main body of that secret room was unknown. There were no doors or windows, and it was connected to the shop by a strange door. The secret room of the Dark Night Church was located under the church. It also belonged to the sanctuary of the Goddess of Night, and it was safer than anywhere else.
However, this secret room was independent of other basements and belonged to a highly confidential area. It was located hundreds of meters underground, and it took seven or eight minutes for the elevator to reach the bottom.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a huge artificial room, at least the size of a basketball court. The six sides were built with thick bricks and stones, and complex runes were engraved on the bricks and stones. Each rune exuded a depressing atmosphere, and there was a faint light flashing between the lines from time to time.
In the center of the secret room is a circular platform with a radius of five meters. With the platform as the base, a ball of blue flames is burning. Under the high temperature, the heat wave hits the face.
At the edge of the platform, four priests wearing black holy robes with five or six golden stars embroidered on them sit on the ground, each of them is focused and does not look away. Under their joint control, the flame has never been extinguished even though there is no fuel, and it always emits high temperature.
In the center of the jumping flames, a small medicine box floats in the air. The high temperature has not damaged it at all, but has burned away the stains left on the surface of the medicine box over the years, making the medicine box more dazzling.
Miracle Light.
This is the final storage method determined by the Dark Night Church.
Under the suppression of the supreme power in the sanctuary, eight middle-level priests with the most devout faith personally sit in person to maintain the flames day and night, so that the strange objects are always in the purification of the flames, and the internal pollution level is checked every hour. Once a pollution trend is found, it will be reported immediately.
This secret room itself is not only a holy place, with a certain resistance to external forces, but also engraved with defensive runes. It is difficult to break through by external forces or mysterious forces. The accident that happened to Milt's family before will never happen here. The only way to get in is the church entrance. The church has already deployed heavy troops to ensure that the strange objects inside are safe.
This is the support of the Dark Night Church after getting the approval of the old aunt. Most of the churches were mobilized with Lin Qi's request.
"The will of the Lord is our will."
A sudden voice in the darkness startled Lynch. He turned around and saw Archbishop Trinlais and Chairman Ole sitting in the corner. This was the last layer of protection for the strange object. The eighth-level chairman and the only seventh-level priest in the church took turns to guard it to ensure that there was always a high-level person in charge.
The archbishop bowed to Ms. Nightingale and asked Lynch, "What happened up there? I felt something unusual just now."
"The followers of the ancient immortal Tavel are here to patrol the mountain." Lynch explained, "If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Shadow Alliance have arrived, including at least the seventh-level soul-distracting person who can be transferred remotely. As for whether there are other high-level strongmen, it is still uncertain."
"It seems that they have no other means to stop us now." Chairman Ole twisted his beard and thought, "Are they planning to fight a decisive battle here?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The archbishop asked, "Didn't you invite that friend in to sit down?"
"Milt ? He is quite big, and your church may not be able to accommodate him. Forget about him, his appearance is just disgusting. "
"Okay, so how is the situation going now?" The archbishop pointed to the miracle light, "Is it still useful? When will it start?"
"We can start now. We already know how to use it. It will be more dangerous if we delay it." Ms. Nightingale stared at the medicine box and said, "Put it down first. We need to do some preparations..."
As they were talking, there was a slight vibration under their feet, but it passed quickly. Several people frowned and remained silent for a long time until they confirmed that everything was normal. Then they looked at each other and smiled self-deprecatingly.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a train passing on the ground. Are we overly sensitive?
Lin Qi also sighed softly. The storm is coming.
