Chapter 61: The Bottom of the Temple
When Du Yuqi made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, the Holy Church also sent the golden sacrament. This thing is about a palm-sized box, surrounded by a layer of transparent plastic. It contains a silver plate. On the edge of the plate, there is an upright silver statue of a pocket angel, which looks like a handle. In the center of the plate, there is a pile of refined gold Holy Communion, which is about the size of a quail egg. It shines with a soft light. No matter how it tastes, it looks very good.
After resting for about an hour, Du Yuqi was invited over by Wu Nian, and was led through a long and winding path in the church. It was almost dizzying, and finally came to an underground place. In the conference room, there were more than a dozen silver angel candlesticks, with tall butter candles burning on them, lighting up the conference room very brightly.
At this time, there were about twenty people sitting in the conference room. Lin and FIRE, whom Du Yuqi knew, were both present. Their expressions seemed a little serious. After waiting for a few more minutes, red clothes flashed at the door. Archbishop Richelieu was already there. He walked in quickly, bowed slightly to everyone, sat down next to him, and raised his chin to signal to the priest next to him.
When Du Yuqi saw this, his heart suddenly sank. Something seemed not right about the situation. A top figure like Richelieu was present at the scene to take charge. This only meant that the situation had deteriorated to a point where it was even more serious than he had imagined! Although he knew that the reward from the temple was not easy to get, he did not expect that the difficulty level would be so high!
At this time, I heard the priest slowly say:
"I don't want to hide it from everyone. The Minsk Cathedral is now in a very dangerous situation. The reason behind this must be known to many people here. It is because the sacred barrier that protects us is... Fading away."
"And why did our sacred barrier fade? After a series of investigations, it was discovered that a traitor had sneaked into the church and entered the expressly restricted area. He actually carried a powerful evil weapon with him. The invitation from the ancient abyss opens the abyss party in the depths of the temple! What we ask of you is to clean up these evils and purify the filth below the temple, and then the barrier will be restored automatically. "
Suddenly someone asked:
"Isn't the Paladin best at purification? Now that the enemy is not attacking, you can just send dozens of Paladins to do this. Why do we have to spend a lot of money to do it? What? Is the level of danger down there far beyond your assessment?"
The priest shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. The enemy came with a plan and was well prepared. So when we realized something was wrong, the abyss party had already been directly carried out to a very complete stage. So in fact, at this time, there was already a deep place in the temple. It presents a semi-divided independent space state.
In this case, it is impossible to send in too many people, otherwise it will accelerate the degree of space fragmentation and completely cause the sacred barrier to fail. According to the current evaluation, at most, only a dozen people can be sent in. Left or right, and anything can happen inside. "
"So, when the number of people is limited and the specific situation is not well understood, it is best to make the composition of the team mainly based on professional diversity. In this case, no matter what situation we encounter, there will be no It feels like being unable to adapt and feeling helpless, so the entire team that enters must be optimally configured. Everyone here is a strong person selected by us. They all have extraordinary achievements in their own fields and should be able to complete this time. Task."
At this time, another person said loudly:
"Since the abyss party that appeared is right under the temple, you should have a considerable understanding of it, right? So we need relevant information, the more detailed the better, is it interesting to hide it now?"
After hearing this person's questioning, the priest seemed to be troubled and hesitated for a while before saying:
"We will definitely not stay out of this party entering the abyss, so we will still use the Holy Church to host the matter. The team will be led by four paladins. They know all the information and intelligence. If you have any questions, just ask them. "
Obviously, such an answer is certainly unsatisfactory. Even Du Yuqi shook his head slightly - just kidding, needless to say, the changes in the depths of the temple must be particularly dangerous. In this case , even very simple information should be of great help. It might even be able to determine a person's life or death. The priest wants to send them away with such a light word. How is this possible?
Seeing that the crowd was already raging around him, and if he didn't give a specific explanation for a while, all his previous efforts would be wasted. Archbishop Lizalius could only sigh, stood up, and said with his hands:
"This matter is not actually something we want to hide deliberately, but it is related to the reputation of the church. We also understand your concerns, so if you want to know the details, you must take a solemn oath not to leak them. "
After the archbishop finished speaking, a hoarse voice immediately said:
"I am willing to swear, but you must also send me complete information. If you fight when everything is unclear, you will not be willing to die even if you die."
Du Yuqi felt that the voice seemed unfamiliar. He turned around and found that it was Lin's friend FIRE, whose name was Hailong in the east. With him taking the lead, the others immediately expressed their opinions, obviously agreeing with what he said, and then began to swear.
Archbishop Rizal nodded slightly after hearing this, and then turned and walked out. The priests and others also left. Then a group of ascetics came in one after another and distributed information to everyone. Of course, Du Yuqi also got a copy.
This information is a small book, and its name is four words, called "The Bottom of the Church".
The source of faith in the church is the holy light, but the holy light is ultimately an illusory existence. Therefore, when it was first established, the bones and relics of the saints in the church after their death were buried, and then the altar for rituals was built on it.
Such a tangible existence is more conducive to the gathering of believers and the development of the sect, so it has been vigorously promoted, and even the church will tacitly approve and even promote this kind of belief and worship of holy bones.
However, things gradually changed. The believers also had their own ideas. They began to think that the surroundings of the holy bones could also achieve the effect of blessing ordinary souls, so believers who had the conditions wanted to bury themselves or their relatives around the altar.
It is not surprising that believers have such ideas, because even on the earth, the grass outside the Western church and the surroundings of the Eastern Buddhist temples are recognized as the best burial areas. If you don’t have a very strong relationship or pay a great price, then don’t think about having a place there.
Under this concept, the Minsk Cathedral is also subject to such troubles, and it is built in the city. If you want to get as many offerings and donations as possible from believers, it means to satisfy the wishes of believers. Therefore, under the entire Minsk Cathedral is an extremely large cemetery. In the long hundreds of years, more than 300,000 people have been buried and resting under it!
There is a saying that where there is light, there must be shadows, and light and darkness are always dependent on each other, and the two can never exist alone. Therefore, in fact, under the Minsk Cathedral, there are often undead creatures such as ghosts and wraiths, but they only appear sporadically and are quickly purified by the clergy.
However, the traitor seemed to have planned for a long time, so he sneaked into the cemetery below and started the Abyss Party. Under the effect of the Abyss Party, a terrifying mutation occurred in the cemetery, almost turning it into a ghostland!
At the same time, in the deepest part of the cemetery, a sealed door appeared. It was the terrible breath constantly emitted by this sealed door that constantly weakened the sacred barrier. Once this sealed door is completely opened, a large number of terrible monsters will emerge, and at that time, even the entire city of Shatli may be destroyed.
This is not alarmist. The tragic incident of the sealed door losing control and swallowing a small town has happened many times in history.
Therefore, the mission of this group of people is very arduous. Not only do they have to purify and kill the resurrected undead creatures in the cemetery one by one, but they are also responsible for destroying and closing the sealed door. At the same time, the time left for the sealed door to be completely opened is only about five or six hours, and the time is quite tight.
And there are also extremely powerful awakeners in the Minsk Cathedral. Why don't they send out the awakeners?
It is because the sealed door has passed the initial larval period at this time, and its spiritual tentacles have spread all over the surroundings. It can not only continuously absorb the surrounding Yin Qi to grow, but also sense the movements in the entire tomb.
Therefore, for the sealed door that already has a warning awareness, once the awakener enters the giant cemetery at the bottom of the cathedral, it will immediately sense its arrival. When facing such an enemy that has no chance of winning, the sealed door will immediately take emergency measures and explode regardless of everything, making the situation completely corrupt.
Obviously, such a brazen outburst is undoubtedly unacceptable to the temple, because in this case, those who know the truth will spread the news everywhere, saying that a large number of undead creatures and monsters have appeared under the Minsk Temple. It turns out that it is open and aboveboard on the surface, but it is actually a harbour of filth!
In fact, if this cemetery with more than 300,000 people buried was moved to other places, without the Minsk Temple's guard, the number of undead creatures produced over the past few hundred years would probably be a hundred times or a thousand times. However, rumors are spread from one person to ten, and a lie is spread by a thousand people. It is likely to become true, so the temple cannot afford such a reputation crisis.
However, for the Sealed Gate, fresh flesh and blood with powerful power is also the most nourishing food for it, without a doubt. Therefore, it does not exclude outsiders from entering its territory, provided that the strength of these enemies entering is below the critical point of its tacit approval.
Therefore, under such circumstances, there is an obvious ceiling in the strength of the warriors entering the bottom of the temple. If they exceed this ceiling, they will hit their heads and will be directly passed.
It has been repeatedly measured in the temple that this ceiling should be the base for the fourth-level strength. The total number of people sent in at the same time cannot be more than fifteen. At the same time, as the seal gate itself grows, its critical point is also constantly increasing. Ascension, it is very likely that in another three hours, warriors above level four will be allowed to enter, but that time would be too soon.
At the same time, this book "Under the Cathedral" seems to have been written a long time ago. It not only draws out the topographic map of the huge cemetery under the Minsk Cathedral in detail, but also even The information on some of the undead monsters that may appear is clearly written, and only the description about the sealed door is newly added.
Du Yuqi immediately understood when he saw this. Even without the Sealed Gate incident, the church often sent ascetic monks to clean the cemetery. This "Under the Altar" pamphlet should be distributed to the ascetic monks. We have used it, so the credibility of the above information is very high.
After he read the booklet carefully again, he called to the ascetic monk next to him and asked him to take him to the previous priest, saying that he had something very important to talk to him about.
Du Yuqi's request was quickly met. The priest quickly came out to meet with him alone and politely asked Du Yuqi what he wanted.
Du Yuqi said solemnly:
"It's like this. wwanscom This time the mission to go to the cemetery is very difficult. Several of my friends seem to be more in line with your requirements. With their participation, the probability of successfully completing the mission can be increased by at least several percentage points. Can the priest? Can you give me a recommendation?"
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, the priest shook his head and refused without hesitation:
"no."
Du Yuqi sighed. He is a person who is good at observing people's words. The priest rejected his proposal without hesitation at all. This is enough to show that the success rate is very small. However, Du Yuqi still said unwillingly:
"Why?"
The priest hesitated for a moment, and then said simply:
"If it were someone else, I would just tell him that it won't work, but it won't work, but you, Priest Du, have already proven your loyalty to the church, so I will tell you that we have also considered the friends you recommended, but they are all It failed to pass the primary election because the impact of this matter is so great that if it is leaked, it will affect the foundation of the church..."
