Daring! She cheated in the thriller game
Chapter 276 Substituting one thing for another
He raised his hand, and the box in Yu Lan's hand flew away automatically. Yu Lan did not stop him, but stood there contentedly watching the actions of the red-robed bishop.
The box was floating in the air. The red-robed bishop seemed to be afraid of something and did not touch the box. He just used magic to open the box. He was surprised when he saw the ribs inside.
It turned out to be this......
Seeing the red-robed bishop staring at the ribs in a trance, Yu Lan reminded him, "Excuse me, sir, but do you have any questions?"
"No, it's nothing." The red-robed bishop came back to his senses: "This is indeed the holy relic of my religion. Thank you to this cultivator for returning it to us."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Lan didn't seem to care whether the relic was in her hands or not, nor did she care how important and precious the relic was. It was as if she was just returning a lost item to the owner.
This indifferent attitude made the red-robed bishop curious about Yu Lan: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked for your name yet. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Red Church?"
"My name is Tinglan, so I don't need to join." Yulan chuckled and said, "I'm used to living alone, and joining the church is not my ultimate wish."
"Okay." The red-robed bishop sighed with regret: "Tinglan, can you tell me how you got this holy relic?"
"Of course." Yu Lan nodded slightly and told everything she saw in the deserted city. After she mentioned seeing the mountain of bones in the courtyard, the red-robed bishop's behavior was obviously a little strange. Yu Lan paid attention and sure enough, after she finished speaking, the red-robed bishop asked her what she thought of the bones in the courtyard.
“I sensed a sense of plunder in them.”
As soon as the voice fell, Yu Lan saw the red-robed bishop's fingers tightly grasping the decoration on the chair. She smiled silently and continued, "I think that must be the work of the new god. He not only killed the residents of the city, but also put their bodies in your church. This is simply an insult to you."
When he heard that Yu Lan thought it was the work of the new god, the red-robed cardinal breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head solemnly: "The feud between us cardinals and the new god will not end here... Unfortunately, the main city is now full of ascetics, and it is difficult for our church to sneak in."
The red-robed bishop thought that Yu Lan would ask to help them, but she just said "Oh" and nothing else. The red-robed bishop's words of thanks were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
The fight between your two churches has nothing to do with me. I just came in to find someone to change my fate. Yu Lan thought expressionlessly that the fight between the two religions was much crueler than she had imagined. When she was studying history, she had heard a lot about the bloody reality. Whoever wants to do it can do it.
The air was silent for a while. Seeing that Yu Lan really didn't say anything, the red-robed bishop said helplessly: "Thank you very much for finding the lost holy object for us. I don't know if there is anything we can do to help you. We will do our best."
Yu Lan was waiting for these words. She said, "I have been traveling abroad for many years. When I came back, I heard that the new God had been on the throne for a long time, but I have no idea what happened in the meantime. Can you please tell me about it, Bishop?"
Hearing this, the bishop was not sure what he was thinking. He sighed sadly, "This incident... is truly a disaster for the world."
As he spoke, he slowly began to tell the history whose truth or falsehood was unknown.
There is no country where they live, only towns. Or rather, they are a country, but the one who manages government affairs is not the king, but the bishop of the church. There is a church of the Red Church in every town, and the bishop manages the town, and all these bishops obey the archbishop of the main city, Red Shadow City, and the archbishop obeys God.
This is a vast yellow sand desert, and water is a very precious resource. The bishop in the city prays to the God of Light every year, praying for good weather in the coming year, and pays tribute to the archbishop. After all, the archbishop is in charge of the water source of every city. If any town fails to pay tribute on time, the archbishop will cut off the water source of that city.
One can imagine what the situation is like in Xia'an, where there is no water source in the desert. Every city does not want to die, so they pay tribute to the main city every year.
But Yu Lan didn't know what the tribute was because the red-robed bishop avoided the topic.
"It happened during the prayer month ten years ago. Someone in the offerings colluded with the new god. They attacked my lord when he was weak, killed the son of God, and dumped his body in the holy spring!"
The red-robed cardinal was very emotional, and when he mentioned that the Son of God was killed, he wished he was the one who died.
"That filthy and lowly thing dares to call himself a god? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have ended up like this... Now his influence is spread throughout every town, especially in Scarlet Shadow City, which is completely controlled by his high priest. We can't even fight back."
"The God of Light has moments of weakness, doesn't the New God have one?" Yu Lan asked, "You can also take advantage of his weakness to attack Scarlet Shadow City."
The red-robed woman in front of him spoke calmly, as if she was saying something very ordinary. The bishop was stunned. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "We have tried it before. We found out the situation in the city and broke in with the help of the residents. We even seriously injured their high priest."
"But what we didn't expect was that the thing that had been indifferent all this time actually woke up at that time. He used his dirty and despicable means to seriously injure our people, causing huge losses to our church." As he said this, he angrily smashed the chair and said, "I must avenge this for the dead believers."
The red-robed bishop thought that after he finished telling this tragic history, Yu Lan would be very righteous and say "she will also come to help", but he didn't expect that she just said "oh" lightly, as if this could not move her.
Now is the time when they are short of manpower. They have already found out that the high priest of Red Shadow City is not in the city recently. Now is a good time to break in and defeat the new god.
And he had heard when the red-robed leader reported to him just now that the woman in front of him was very powerful and could restrain them without them noticing. If they could recruit Yu Lan into their church, what a powerful helper she would be!
Why! This woman seemed to be there to listen to the story, she was not moved at all!
Yu Lan had long seen through the Red-robed Bishop's thoughts. He wanted to use Yu Lan, and why wouldn't Yu Lan want to use him?
The two of them stared at each other from a distance through their masks and hoods. Finally, the red-robed bishop couldn't stand it anymore. He cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me, is there anything else you want to know?"
Yu Lan thought for a while and said, "Don't tell me, it really is true."
The red-robed bishop was cheered up: "You said, we will do our best to help you!"
"It's not a big deal." Yu Lan smiled and shook the acacia wood lantern in her hand. The red-robed bishop only felt that the candlelight around him suddenly turned blue, but he didn't feel anything, and it was only a moment, so he didn't care.
"Please tell me."
"I just want to see the holy relics in your hands."
The red-robed bishop's expression was slightly restrained. After a while, he asked, "Why do you want to see our holy relics?"
"I'm very interested in the container you use to store the holy relics." Yu Lan's tone rose slightly, as if she was really interested in the spell on the box. "When I got the box, I thought it was just an ordinary container, but after opening it, I found something special inside. I've never seen a spell that can seal the aura of the things inside so perfectly."
After hearing this, the red-robed bishop felt a little relieved. No wonder Yu Lan was not interested in his recruitment. It turned out that she was not interested in it.
Speaking of the spells on the box, the red-robed bishop was somewhat proud. He smiled and said, "This is the work of our archbishop. His spell skills are first-rate, and bishops like me cannot compare to him."
"I see. If I have the chance, I really want to see it." Yu Lan said, sighing leisurely: "But I heard that the Archbishop..."
Yu Lan didn't know the archbishop, and she only said half a sentence to get the archbishop to talk. As expected, the red-robed bishop sighed after hearing Yu Lan's sigh, and didn't realize that Yu Lan was trying to get him to talk: "The archbishop is old and doesn't see people often."
"That's such a pity."
Hearing Yu Lan's regretful voice, the red-robed bishop thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Since you are so curious about the spell, then I will take you to see it. Speaking of which, this is also a secret method of our Red Church that is not passed on."
The fish is hooked.
"Then I must take a closer look." Yu Lan curled the corners of her mouth and followed the bishop to the place where they kept the holy relics.
He led Yu Lan down through the layers of stone steps until they reached a place where it was pitch dark with no lights in sight.
The red-robed bishop looked at the lantern in Yu Lan's hand and reminded her, "Ting Lan, some of the holy objects we preserve cannot be exposed to light."
"Sorry." Yu Lan apologized and hesitantly put the lantern back. Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have acted like a spoiled child with my family and brought the fluorite with me. It's really troublesome to not be able to see things clearly.
"Lanlan, have you forgotten what Li Lingye taught you? Sometimes you can see things differently if you look at them from a different angle." At this moment, the little paper man suddenly appeared on Yulan's shoulder and patted her: "Go forward boldly! I will catch you if you fall!"
Yu Lan twitched her lips. The little paper figure was not even as big as her palm. Let alone catching her, it was good enough that she was not crushed by her.
Oh, no, the little paper figure is flat to begin with.
She sighed sadly: "Okay."
As he spoke, the red-robed bishop gathered his magic power in his hands and unlocked the layers of formations on the gate in front of him. He pushed the door open and motioned Yu Lan to go in: "Come in."
It was really pitch black in front of Yu Lan and she couldn't see anything. She could only nod slightly in the direction where the voice came from, then take a step forward, wondering what the little paper man meant by changing the angle.
Did he want her to walk upside down? No, this is too physical. Change the angle. Yu Lan thought for a while, and then saw the red circles of different sizes in front of her, and suddenly realized it.
She closed her eyes and used the power of the old gods to attach to her eyes. At that moment, she saw clearly what was in front of her.
In fact, the trick used by Yu Lan was the eye-opening technique, which was usually used to allow some disciples who did not have the Yin-Yang eyes to open their eyes and see souls. Unexpectedly, it could also be used in this kind of place.
The red halo seen by the naked eye is the flow of magic attached to the object. After closing the eyes, the halo becomes clearer and can even cover the surrounding objects, allowing Yu Lan to see the outlines of the surrounding objects. Although it is not very obvious, it is enough.
"This is where we store the holy relics."
As he spoke, the red-robed bishop took out the box and walked to the back of the room. Yu Lan followed the light and saw three objects that shone with the same light as the box.
Yu Lan moved the fingers hanging by her side, and the little paper figure slid down her robe and floated onto the boxes.
The red-robed bishop did not notice the existence of the little paper man. Yu Lan walked to the boxes and seemed to be seriously admiring the spells on them. After a while, she straightened up and said with a smile, "Thank you for letting me see such beautiful spells."
"You're welcome. I should thank you for returning the holy relic of my church." The red-robed bishop waved his hand and said, "It's almost time. Let's go up first."
The two left the room. Under Yu Lan's gaze, the red-robed bishop performed a complicated spell in front of her in order to protect the safety of the holy relics inside.
"Your magic is also very powerful." Yu Lan praised: "This way, the safety of the holy relics inside will be guaranteed."
“Hahahahaha.” The red-robed leader replied with a smile, “Yes, so far no one has been able to break my spell and get in. As long as someone touches this door, I can sense it and summon my clone.”
"This way, no one can steal the holy relic from you. You are truly worthy of being a bishop."
The red-robed cardinal accepted Yu Lan's compliment with a smile, while Yu Lan curled the corners of her mouth, looked at the prompts in the system background and the four boxes in the storage ring but smiled without saying a word.
The red-robed cardinal had no idea that someone would steal the holy relic right under his nose. He took Yu Lan upstairs, and still felt sorry when he heard Yu Lan say she wanted to leave.
"I have other things to do, so I won't stay." Yu Lan said, taking out a small wooden sign and handing it to the red-robed bishop: "If you need me for anything, you can crush the wooden sign."
"Okay, I won't stay any longer then." The red-robed bishop took the wooden sign and pretended to mention casually, "By the way, there are a few more people who came with you. Do you know them?"
"Yeah." Yu Lan thought of Lucius and the others, and smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "If you want to sneak into Scarlet Shadow City, you can use it."
The Red Cardinal also had this idea. Although they would accept Lucius and others, they were, after all, people who had defected from the enemy camp. They could not be reused now, so it would be nice to make use of them.
Both sides got something useful and were very satisfied. Yu Lan nodded slightly to the red-robed bishop and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
As she spoke, she summoned her magical powers and left under the surprised gaze of the red-robed bishop.
