Chapter 246 Is This Enough?

Compared with the bustle of the outer city, the inner city of the cathedral looks solemn, solemn and majestic.

The clergy walking on the road are dressed as cleanly as the streets.

The stinking water that was a must on medieval roads disappeared here, and the roads were so clean that there were no scraps of paper.

The clergy walked steadily, holding Bibles and hanging crosses.

Everyone's face seems to be able to shine with holy light at any time.

As for the slaves, their clothes were rough, but they were clean. They walked in a hurry, with their heads slightly lowered, and walked in the wind, hurriedly and quickly.

In addition to caution, there is pride on his face.

Yes, it is pride, although they are slaves, but they are slaves in the cathedral (inner city).

If slaves had levels, they would be the slave peak Dzogchen.

In this precarious situation, the free people are no match for the slaves at the church headquarters.

There are many people who are willing to give up their status as free citizens and there is no way to become slaves.

This is not the first time Father Rod has come to the church headquarters.

Compared to last time, the cathedral seems to be more majestic now as the church headquarters.

Naturally, there won't be any hotels in the inner city, only places similar to reception offices.

If Father Rhodes comes to the Holy City for no reason, he can only stay in a hotel in the outer city.

Now, since I came with a mission and glory, I could stay at the guest house.

He and Xia Yanzhen were settled at the reception desk.

Xia Yanzhen wore a black cloth and was well taken care of.

There was no provocative incident in which the clergy could not bear to see Xia Yanzhen and the others coming from the countryside.

Xia Yanzhen was quite bored.

If you are provoked, you can do it openly.

But the quality of the clergy is relatively high... Well, in other words, this is the church headquarters, and no one dares to cause trouble.

As for the "second generation of gods", of course there are - the church does not prohibit marriage except for nuns.

However, the families of the clergy all live in the outer city and do not enter the inner city.

The inner city is a quiet and peaceful place.

Xia Yanzhen and Father Rhodes did not wait long. Soon a priest found them and asked them to go to the cathedral.

The Cardinal wants to see the two men.

Cardinals are a relatively special position. There are eight of them in total. They are like cabinets, military aircraft departments, and the like.

Dedicated to working with the Pope to decide major issues in religion.

The matter of the demon sibling Damon was pursued by a blood knight and intervened by a cardinal, so it was certainly not a small matter.

The two of them were led into the church.

First, we passed the magnificent and very atmospheric "hall", and then the interior scene began to change.

Not so wide anymore.

Various corridors, corridors, rooms.

It's like an indoor maze in the game, and you'll get lost if you walk for a while.

In addition to the flat surface, there are various up and down.

Fortunately, we didn't go underground. There were many windows in the corridor, and at least the light was bright, so it wouldn't make people feel depressed.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the leader brought Xia Yanzhen and the two to an opening and closing gate.

Two knights guarded the door.

In the secret, Xia Yanzhen also heard the hidden heartbeat of the crow.

The defense is very tight.

The door was slowly pushed open by the knight, revealing the gorgeous room inside.

Sunlight shines through a layer of colored "glass", leaving streaks of gorgeous light in the room.

On the large and gorgeous seat, the cardinal wore a red robe with a white belt and other decorations.

A cardinal is, strictly speaking, an archbishop.

The archbishop is also called a cardinal because he wears red.

Those white decorations are to distinguish cardinals from ordinary archbishops.

This cardinal is a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a tall stature. He takes off his bishop's uniform and puts on armor to become a church knight.

Behind the Cardinal stood a man in black robes, his whole body shrouded in shadow.

This is an elite among the Dark Crows, equivalent to a blood-armored knight, and has no special title.

One group is responsible for protecting important members of the church. They appear in black robes and are unofficially called "Black Crows."

Xia Yanzhen, covered with a black cloth, looked around the room and felt that there were many people there.

"Your Majesty the Bishop!"

After entering, Father Rhodes saluted with great respect.

Xia Yan really didn't do anything.

Cardinal Hollan nodded: "Sit down."

He motioned for the two of them to sit down on the chairs below.

When Father Rhodes went over, he only dared to let one-third of his butt touch the chair. Sitting was more tiring than standing.

Xia Yanzhen was different, leaning directly on the back of the chair.

However, this hard wooden chair is not comfortable to sit on.

"Father Rhodes, Father Anderson, you have done a great job in catching the Damon siblings..." Hollen got straight to the point, "His Holiness the Pope has decided to promote these two to bishops to do a better job for the church and God. Dedication.”

Father Rod almost jumped up from his chair, his lips trembling as he tried to show his loyalty.

"I don't want the bishop's position."

But Xia Yanzhen refused faster than Father Rhodes.

"Don't want a bishop?" Huo Lun was a little surprised.

Becoming a bishop is every priest’s dream, but some people still refuse?

The church had no doubts, or in other words, it didn't care much about the authenticity of Father Xia Yanzhen's identity.

Not to mention that Eve had already loudly declared the ownership of "Father Anderson".

This is the headquarters of the church, the holy city of Yinote. Here you have come to accept the gifts from the church, that is, the people of the church.

It doesn’t matter who comes.

The church didn't care whether Anderson was a real priest or the king's secret knight.

"Then what do you want, Father Anderson?" Huolun looked at Xia Yanzhen playfully.

"Eternal blood armor." Xia Yanzhen said, "I want eternal blood armor."

"Hahahaha!" Huo Lun laughed, "You want to be a blood armor knight?"

"No, I just want the eternal blood armor." Xia Yanzhen shook his head.

"Arrogant boy."

Huo Lun was not angry and seemed very magnanimous, but this magnanimity was like a human being seeing a pitiful, weak and helpless little animal baring its teeth and claws, "Eternal Blood Armor, there are only twelve sets. Each set Each has its owner.

"Why, do you want someone else to step aside for you?"

"If they are willing..." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Interesting." Huo Lun laughed, "No wonder Eve looks at you differently. Go and find Norton!"

"Yes." Someone took the order and left.

"If nothing is wrong, you can go down first." Huo Lun said to Father Rhodes.

Father Rhodes was eager to leave as soon as possible to avoid being hurt by Xia Yanzhen and Chi Yu.

"Who is Norton?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Blood Armor Knight, don't you want their armor? I'll ask them to come over, and you can tell them directly." Huo Lun said.

"Well, what if he doesn't agree to give me the armor?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"The Knights respect the strong," Huo Lun said.

"That's good." Xia Yanzhen nodded.

After a while, the door was opened.

A blood-armored knight entered the room. The eternal blood armor on his body was quite similar to Eve's, with slight differences in details.

Xia Yanzhen closed his eyes and didn't see it. He only knew that someone was coming and heard the sound of armors clashing and rubbing during the movements.

"Your Majesty the Bishop." Norton took off his helmet and saluted Horan.

The Eternal Blood Armor is highly mobile, enough to support knights in various actions.

"Well, someone wants your armor, what do you think I should do?" Huo Lun's voice was majestic, but his tone was mean. He almost said "I want to stir up trouble" written on his face.

Norton immediately looked at Xia Yanzhen, the "blind man": "You?"

"Yes, it's me." Xia Yanzhen smiled.

"Hmph! Interesting!" Norton was also laughing, but it was a disdainful laugh. "I'll give it to you, but do you have the guts to take it?"

Norton's helmet was tucked between his arm and waist and he didn't put it back on.

It can be seen that this is a young man, only in his early twenties, and his appearance is not very flattering.

There are several criss-crossing scars.

He is the youngest among the Blood Armor Knights, second only to Eve.

"Let's try it. If I defeat you, will you give me the armor?" Xia Yanzhen said.

"Okay!" Norton agreed immediately.

Not just because he was confident, but because this was something Cardinal Hollen wanted to see happen - a duel between the two.

Since he was called over, this battle was inevitable.

Moreover, in fact, the Church Red Cross has this tradition. As a knight, you are qualified to challenge the blood armor knight. Once the challenge is successful, you can become a new blood armor knight.

Of course, the prerequisite for the challenge is that there is a clergyman at the level of an archbishop who is willing to bear witness.

Otherwise, the red knight will challenge the blood-armored knight as soon as his brain gets hot.

With so many people, the blood-armored knights didn't have to do anything. They were too busy killing red knights every day.

This time, the "witness" is Huo Lun.

A cardinal who is one level higher than an archbishop.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Huo Lun stood up first and walked with great force.

A group of people followed him in a cone.

Like an arrow, it ran rampant in the church.

Everyone came to an open-air martial arts training ground.

The area is about the same as a standard football field. It is a solid yellow clay ground with various weapons placed around it, including long weapons, short weapons, shields, bows and arrows.

Very complete.

On the martial arts training ground, there were several strong young men sparring.

As Huolun arrived, they all bowed and left, then looked at Norton with great envy.

Red Knights all want to become Blood Armor Knights.

It's just that it's too cruel and difficult to become a blood-armored knight.

Ninety percent of the Red Knights will never be able to take action in their lifetime, and can only look at the bloody armor with envy.

Norton, the newest and youngest blood-armored knight, is undoubtedly the current idol and goal for the young red knights.

While looking at the idol with envy, several red knights also reacted. Could it be that someone wants to challenge Norton? Become a blood armor?

Where are people?

I didn’t see any other knights. Not one of the best among the Red Knights came?

Who is challenging Norton?

Norton stood still on the court, yawning, looking like he was looking down on the world's heroes.

A cleric dressed as a priest was telling Xia Yanzhen the rules - all the rules but no rules.

The goal is to defeat the opponent, kill the opponent, life or death.

Of course, if the other party clearly shouts to admit defeat, no action can be taken.

You can choose any weapon on the field without any restrictions, and you can even pick it up halfway through the game.

But there is no armor to wear.

In addition, the blood armor knight will definitely wear the eternal blood armor and will not take it off.

If you want to become a blood-armored knight, you have to be better than the blood-armored knights you once were - and much better!

"If there's no problem, we can start now." After the priest finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yanzhen and said.

"Hmm..." Xia Yan really planned to nod.

Another burst of footsteps came, and a group of people arrived.

A tall and thin old man who looked quite thin and would fall down when the wind blew came over with a group of people. He was wearing the same clothes as Huo Lun, and he was obviously another cardinal.

"Bishop Hollen."

"Bishop Morris."

When the two met, they were smiling but not smiling, obviously they didn't want to deal with each other.

"Someone wants to challenge you?" Morris looked at Norton.

Facing Morris, Norton was obviously more respectful and nodded seriously.

"Well, kill him without holding back." Morris said without any concealment, "Priest, he is the same as a knight."

There is no rule in the church that prohibits priests from challenging blood-armored knights.

This is actually a loophole that no one thought of.

Unless a priest is in a church, he is just an ordinary person and does not have extraordinary fighting power.

After being promoted to bishop, you can single-handedly purify the Holy Light and defeat everything outside the church.

But he only has one hand to purify the holy light, which has nothing to do with the knight.

No one expected this to happen.

But since it is Huolun's approval, he can challenge it. Even if it is clear that he cannot fight, he can still fight.

Hearing Morris's words, Norton laughed and made a gesture of wiping Xia Yanzhen's neck. Then he suddenly realized that the priest in front of him seemed to be blind.

"Can we start?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Okay." The priest immediately stepped back and announced, "The challenge begins!"

"Boy, after you die—" Norton roared at Xia Yanzhen, speaking harshly first.

Before he even finished speaking, Xia Yanzhen flashed past his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his chest.

The world is spinning.

Norton flew up.

He flew out of the martial arts training ground, broke a pillar outside, smashed the wall of the room, and crashed into the room.

There were sounds of collisions, walls being penetrated, collapses, and the sounds of various things being destroyed.

It stopped after a few seconds.

Several people looked over and could only see a big hole in the wall behind the broken pillar, and also a big hole in the wall behind.

Hole after hole.

You can't even see the "end" at a glance.

After getting closer, I could barely see a red mass a hundred meters away.

Norton sat on the ground, his upper body sunk into the wall that had not collapsed, and looked at the unfamiliar room.

He didn't know where this was in the cathedral. He only knew that there was pain in his chest, followed by numbness.

The body under the neck almost doesn't belong to him anymore.

Heat flowed slowly through the body, half a year of coldness.

He tried his best to look down, and through the gap in the helmet, he saw that the strongest breastplate was in pieces.

A large number of bloody fragments sank into the sunken chest, destroying the organs in the chest.

Those bloody pieces of broken armor trembled slowly, as if they were about to fly up and reunite.

Because it is too broken, there is no way to repair it in a short time. It needs to absorb the wearer's blood to speed up the repair.

But now, Norton is strong enough even if he doesn't die.

Where is the extra blood and the consciousness to actively repair the eternal blood armor?

Dark spots began to appear in Norton's vision, which gradually blurred. Before he completely lost consciousness, he saw the priest with his eyes covered with black cloth walking towards him through the big hole.

"Admit...defeat..."

Trying his best, Norton shouted out the words of surrender. His eyes turned completely black and he passed out.

"Is that enough? The armor belongs to me?"

Xia Yanzhen didn't give the final blow, turned around and looked at the two cardinals who were walking over and asked.

I ran out all day today and came back very late at night. There was only one update.

This chapter is 4,000 words, so please forgive me.
