Mysteries: Arcana Wars

In the Kingdom of Loen, there are only three churches that are officially allowed to preach and establish churches: the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and the Church of the Lord of Storms. These three sects are also the mainstream beliefs of the Kingdom of Loen.

Backlund Underground City was still geographically part of the Kingdom of Loen, and the faith in the Goddess of Night and the God of Steam and Machinery was still widespread, while the followers of the Lord of Storms were few and far between. The church officials were not stationed in this disorderly land, and there was no church in the underground city, but the faith of so many believers needed to be placed, so these stone tablets engraved with the symbols of gods were popular in the underground city, satisfying people's most basic spiritual needs.

But Gloria knew many secrets of the church, and in her opinion, the matter of the stone tablet was definitely not that simple.

The establishment of these stone tablets was definitely not simply "spontaneous" by the residents of the underground city, Gloria was very clear about this. The establishment of these stone tablets was also secretly fueled by the Church of the Night. Meeting the spiritual needs of believers was one aspect, and leaving something in the underground city to facilitate prayer and shelter for their own people when they could not officially move in was another aspect.

Unfortunately, Gloria only applied for the location and position of part of the stone tablet. However, this information is enough for today's situation. Gloria never cares about the information that the church is unwilling to give her. After all, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, and the more information you have, the more work you can do.

Generally speaking, where there is a Night Stone Tablet, there will be or have been people from the Church of Night lurking there. After the Comet Squad began their operation, Gloria applied for a lot of files about the underground city, including a list of people from the Church of Night lurking in the underground city. The young man ambushing in the waterway had fully informed Gloria of the information, and at Gloria's request, he immediately evacuated to the ground and escaped.

The appearance of the Night Stele is often a soothing thing for the people of the Night Church, but Gloria's eyes remained on the tribute below.

A bunch of almost wilted moonflowers.

In the dungeon, the lack of natural light makes it a hassle to cultivate plants. Most of the plants produced in the dungeon are cultivated with artificial lights and greenhouse technology. The main species are limited to edible fruits and vegetables and cash crops. Almost no one has enough money to cultivate purely ornamental plants such as moon flowers. The cost is high and the price is high. Therefore, the moon flowers that can be seen in the dungeon are mostly brought down from the surface by merchants, but not all dungeons have channels to contact the ground or merchants. The flowers will lose their original beauty during transportation, but their price will be more beautiful than before. When these flowers are about to wither or when the merchants cannot sell them, they will be placed under the Night Stone Tablet as a sloppy sacrifice.

In other words, no matter whether the bouquet is purchased from the dungeon merchants or from one's own transport team... this dungeon has an effective channel to connect with the surface.

This seemingly shabby and lonely little town was far more energetic than she had expected.

Gently digging open the offerings with her feet, some bags of food were revealed, with a richer variety than Gloria had expected.

Before coming here, Gloria thought that this little-known underground city was a classic self-sufficient model with little connection with the outside world. Now it seems that their information and transportation are much more convenient than those in a closed community.

It seems that my judgment was correct.

A bad premonition arose in Gloria's heart. If there was really something here, things would become extremely troublesome.

Is this location a bit close to the [underground well]?

Gloria did not find the path to the [underground well] in the water channel, but only made a judgment based on the geographical location and sense of direction.

Since the trouble is getting bigger and bigger, let's nip it in the bud before it happens!

No more evidence was needed. The experience before her and the previous inferences had already meshed together like gears, pointing directly to the core of the contradiction. Gloria took a deep breath, held the fire stick tightly, and sneaked into the shadow of the building.

A minute later, a violent explosion sounded in a corner of the street. An unexpected crackdown broke out in the darkness.

The scorching flames were like a giant white dragon, soaring into the air in the narrow space, hitting the ceiling and then trampling heavily on the fragile building, like a violent beast, wanting to tear everything under its feet into pieces.

Screams mixed with explosions rang out in the raging flames, and then were strangled by the heat wave, giving birth to a new wailing.

The tall and thin killer slowly walked out of the firelight, like a demon that had escaped from purgatory and walked into the world with endless nightmares and fears. The bright firelight danced on her face, reflecting a pair of gloomy eyes, and the rest of her face was tightly covered by fabric and hat.

According to Gloria's experience, the houses that can be seen on the surface are always just a cover and a reception area in the underground city. The real devil's cave is often hidden under the floor, which is the source of all evil.

As the building collapsed, some people escaped from the flames. They were all ignited by the fire and ran out in the will to survive, but before they could get far away, the sound of a loudspeaker bit them and dragged their consciousness into an endless nightmare.

Gloria quickly checked these people. The people who ran out of the house looked surprisingly similar. Even though the fire had eaten away their flesh, the charred bones showed similar bone structure.

On their bodies, several pieces of tattered red cloth were still slowly burning.

This is... the Exile! ?

Could it be that the assassination attempt on Abraham during this period was planned by the exiles?

No... they are just a group of refugees, a group of poor people who can't even get enough food, and live a precarious life. If all this was planned by the exiles, then how did they contact the military and know so much about the Abraham family and the Abraham Group?

There is some powerful person controlling this group of [Exiles]!

A certain idea suddenly came to Gloria's mind. The missile vehicle that attacked Abraham looked exactly like the soldier, and the similar red-robed man who kept carrying out terrorist attacks in the underground city...all the clues were connected together at this moment by the common point of "similarity".

[The Exiles] are definitely not an ordinary slum gang!

As the noise grew louder, more people rushed to the streets to escape, but the underground city was so small that they had nowhere to escape.

But suddenly, the panicked people stopped running, turned around and stared at the place where the fire was rising.

However, Gloria's spiritual intuition clearly saw those terrifying faces. Those people were old or young, male or female, tall or short, all had dark circles under their eyes, and wore the same red robes.

Although they look different, their faces are extremely similar.

Gloria's spiritual warning sounded. Since they were not good people, there was no need to hold back.
