Chapter 223

This statue is not the one outside, but the one enshrined at the top of the cathedral. It is said that the statue can truly sense the goddess.

How long ago it was built and who built it are no longer available.

All I know is that this statue must be expensive to make. The whole body is made of shining sun stones, and it exudes a sense of sacredness.

Suddenly, Fei Miao felt that the false sunlight in front of him suddenly turned a miserable green.

Her heart couldn't help but feel anxious, as if something was about to happen and she saw a disaster in her eyes.

With a sense of vigilance, those who are useless as meows begin to turn into cats.

She didn't care about anything else and turned around to leave.

The two female priests standing behind were suddenly startled and asked quickly: "Lady Emilia, what's wrong?"

"There is...danger!"

The priests suddenly lost their beauty and exclaimed: "Could it be that the goddess has given guidance, and the demons are about to attack!"

Fei Miao, who was still in the form of a cat, had no time to chat with them anymore, so he opened the door with a pair of cat eyes.

At this moment, there was a panicked exclamation outside the door.

"No! No! The sacrificial spear was stolen by the demons!"

The voice was so loud that the whole church was in chaos.

Fei Miao was also stunned, and gradually withdrew from the cat form, looking at the priests running around in a daze.

Could it be that the sudden warning just now came not from Death Aojiao, but from the demon clan?

At this time, Webster appeared in the hall on the first floor of the cathedral, his face ashen.

"You are so noisy and panicked, do you have a good heart as followers of the God of Light?"

The group of priests below lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.

"Who started the noise?"

Several priests lowered their heads and walked out.

"You will be responsible for cleaning the goddess statue in the past few days. If something happens, it will be like the sky is falling. How do you behave? Do you plan to let the believers and the brave men see you like this?"

Another woman in her 40s or 50s came out, coughed slightly, and said pleasantly: "It's better if we don't do this next time. They are all young people who have never experienced war. Holy City has been in the Ming Dynasty for many years. Who would have thought that there are thieves who are so bold and reckless?" Woolen cloth?"

This is one of the Platinum Archbishops, Archbishop Barbara.

Webster nodded heavily, with cold eyes: "It seems that the church has not shown up for too long, and some young people have come to challenge the majesty of the goddess."

The group of young priests below were all filled with indignation.

If you come to the Holy City to steal something, isn't that clearly riding on the church's neck?

Webster glanced at everyone with lightning eyes; "Who discovered the sacrificial gun was thrown away first?"

A paladin captain stepped forward, half-kneeling; "That's right, I was on duty to guard the bell tower just now. I checked as usual and found that the sacrificial spear was missing."

Webster was silent for a moment: "Don't make any noise about this, otherwise you will lose face. But we must not let the thieves escape. We will be on alert immediately and prohibit people and ships from going out."

A majestic paladin asked quickly: "In what name? Believers don't know the truth and searching with such a high profile will cause panic."

Barbara said: "Just in the name of the safety of Her Majesty the Saint. Although it has not been confirmed yet, this is the best excuse at the moment. It just so happens that we need to protect the candidate Saint more now."

Webster nodded in agreement: "That's right, the God-Chosen Saint was born out of nowhere. In order to prevent the demons from harming her, it is reasonable to warn the whole city. Thieves who steal treasures in broad daylight will be severely judged!"

After saying that, the staff in Webster's hand hit the ground hard, and combined with Leng Ran's voice, the entire hall was filled with a sense of solemnity.

God loves the world, but He also destroys sin.

At this moment, she happened to see Amelia coming down. Barbara's eyes lit up and she hurriedly came up to meet her.

"Master Brave, you came just in time."

Emilia was stunned for a moment, as if she felt the chilling atmosphere, her head tilted, and she actually forgot to return the gift.

Barbara couldn't care so much at this time and pulled Amelia aside.

"Lady Emilia, you have an observation eye. Can you help the church in this matter?"

"What's wrong?"

"That's right, blah blah blah."

…

At this time, Rin and Yuye had just finished a research experiment.

The Juggernaut's physique... is really super good, and he has the same toughness as a gymnast.

The key is, her figure is very...well, I mean, it's very suitable for wearing research clothes, it's so beautiful.

Playing ball together is also a very novel experience.

Perhaps because it was so novel, Rin's first experiment ended a little too quickly. You didn't need to look at the watch to know that it only lasted a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, Rin also had an A endurance rating and was soon ready to continue conquering the experiment again.

But at this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The dazed Xiye was suddenly stunned: "Brother, someone is coming."

"Whatever!"

Rin was still in the mood for experimenting and had no time to worry about that.

But the ringing became more and more urgent, and Rin finally had no choice but to grit his teeth and temporarily stop what he was doing.

After changing into normal clothes and quickly arranging my hair, I went downstairs and opened the door.

The person who came was none other than Waguang. Unlike her previous easy-going attitude, she now looked at Rin with a serious look on her face.

Rin's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her eyes away guiltily, just in time to catch a glimpse of the goddess statue standing tall in the distance.

I was wondering if I was doing some extra experiments in the goddess's company, and these sub-priests actually discovered it, right?

No, no, is this house equipped with experimental sensors?

However, it was obvious that he was the most guilty and overthinking.

"Lord Rin, a sacred object in the church has been stolen by demons. They may come to attack you, so please be careful."

"Huh? Who is so brave that he dares to go to the Holy City and steal things?"

Well, it couldn't be a black fox.

Chapter 7 It’s broken, the devil has come to ask for public food

The Demon King was also startled.

Not long after she entered the city to rest, she saw that the entire Holy City was under martial law, and almost all the guards and knights of the Holy See were dispatched to patrol back and forth.

The streets that were originally bustling with traffic suddenly became empty, and the shops were deserted.

"They started searching everywhere."

Qingwan hurried over, leaned close to Qiyu and whispered.

Qiyu opened a corner of the curtain and looked down, his smile a little cool.

"Do you think these guys are here for me?"

It's not surprising that she overthinks it. Anyone who has just arrived at the center of a hostile camp and finds that there is full vigilance and searches on the other side will suspect that they are targeting her.

Qingwan thought for a moment, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Then someone must have leaked the news, and my subordinate Wan Wan died. I beg you to make a meritorious service and find the traitor."

Qiyu retracted his gaze and chuckled: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the possibility. Even if someone leaks the news, it may not be yours. Don't worry."

Qingwan lowered her head, but she didn't know in her heart whether the moody Demon King was really in the same mood as she said.

How to put it this way, the Demon King has a changeable personality. He may not be really happy when he is smiling, and he may not be unhappy when he is cold. Most people really can't guess.

Alas, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Qi Yu rubbed his brows and felt helpless after reading Qing Wan's thoughts.

As an apostle, although she was once a human, she was absolutely loyal.

She was just too rigid and boring, always like a robot, and had no interest in teasing, so Qiyu didn't keep her by his side, but put her outside as someone who was secretly assassinated by the Chamber of Commerce.

Why do everyone treat me like a big tiger or even a devil? Can't they be like the younger students who can turn from fear to fighting back or even stand side by side?

His thoughts wandered a little, and Qiyu subconsciously touched his lower abdomen and came back to his senses.

At this time, someone was already approaching the door.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Qiyu handed Qingwan a color, while he sat down lazily and opened a book to read.

The door was opened, and a young priest and two ordinary Holy See knights were standing at the door.

The young priest's eyes quickly swept across the two people in the room, and he put his hand in front of his heart and saluted them.

"Visitors from afar, please excuse me for disturbing you. We are conducting temporary inspections from door to door under the order of the Archbishop. We are very sorry if there is any disturbance."

Qingwan nodded and stepped aside to let the three people in.

Qiyu had enough time to listen to the other party's thoughts, and already knew what happened, so he felt relieved and wondered in his heart who was so brave.

The priest's task was very simple. He checked whether there was anyone else in the house, asked when the two entered the Holy City, and then informed them that it would be sealed off for a period of time.

In the end, just to express my apology, I specially blessed the two of them with holy water.

Then he took out a small watering can filled with holy water and sprayed it on the two of them.

The holy water clung to the bodies of the two people in the form of mist, and finally turned into starlight and disappeared.

The priest nodded with satisfaction, apologized again and left, not noticing Qi Yu's hand on Qing Wan's shoulder.

In their opinion, holy water is invincible in exorcising demons, unless the devil himself comes here.

But how is that possible.

As soon as the other person left, Qing Wan's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and a few streaks of black evil energy overflowed from her skin.

However, as soon as it spread from her face, it was dispelled by Qi Yu, and Qing Wan returned to her normal look.

Holy water is naturally the most powerful thing to restrain the demons. It is the dew collected from the eye sockets of the goddess statue.

Legend has it that these were the tears of mercy left by the gods when they sympathized with humans because the demons invaded and devastated all living beings.

After research, it has been proven that it is mainly composed of 70% water element, 29% light element and 1% sacred power.

Holy water is very rare, with only one bottle produced every year. It is mainly used by other top professions to paint weapons to increase magic and sword skills, and is used to identify demons during war.

The main thing that plays a role is not the light element, but the one percent sacred power.

Except for the Demon King who possesses the power of the Demon God, this thing can spray on anyone and everyone. If it's not enough, don't even think about it. The opponent is either a Demon King or a pure human being.

Originally, the supply of this stuff was always in short supply during the war, and what might have taken a year to collect was not enough to apply the poison for three months.

I have been saving for more than 20 years at a loss, and it can be diluted ten times only for testing, so I can use it like this.

Those who are able to enter the bell tower must be of a high level and are good at hiding. The ordinary methods of steaming away the demons are not applicable.

The best ones to use now are the Holy Water and the Brave 3D Eye Recognition Device.

There are many believers and monks in the city. As long as they are arranged in the same way as nucleic acid, let the brave people check each area. If they find something strange or cannot be identified by the observation eye, they will grab it and spray holy water.

There are few people in the departure area, all of them are temporary merchants and tourists, but it is very complicated to check. This method is the fastest and the screening is accurate.

After more than 20 years, there must be seven or eight liters. What's wrong with wasting one or two liters for the holy object.

...

"You...are you sick?"

Rin was stunned: "According to what you said, the guards didn't see what the thief looked like, how could they be so sure that it was demonic energy?"

"There is a faint trace of demonic energy in the remnant."

"That can also be used to cover up the truth, don't waste it like this? Didn't you say that the sacrificial spear is not the best holy object? Using so much holy water... is simply outrageous."

He Guang comforted: "Don't worry, sir, the holy water used for testing is diluted, and the concentration is just right to stimulate demonic energy."
