The Path of Ascension to the Priest

All the way to the north, the closer to the Holy See of the Gelug Empire, the more difficult the monsters encountered by the team.

After entering the Principality of Shas, the difficulty of moving forward has reached a new height, because the Principality of Shas is adjacent to Wucheng, and this is the place where the Sistatu Continent has been most severely eroded by darkness.

Of the dozens of cities in the Principality of Shas, only a dozen were saved in the end, and the rest had been occupied by monsters and turned into completely dead cities.

The monsters wandering in the principality of Shas have evolved a certain amount of wisdom. Flocks of black crows are pecking carrion on dead tree branches, and crimson skeletons are dragging bloody corpses from under the trees. Throwing corpses into the bloody swamp in an attempt to create more of the same kind.

A black witch in a white robe stood next to the dark formation and chanted spells with a bone staff. The black crows sitting on the dry branches suddenly sensed something, and flock after flock fluttered their wings and flew up, making piercing calls.

The white-robed witch stopped spelling, glanced in a certain direction, turned sharply and left, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, more than a dozen light knights cleared the red skeletons on the road and came nearby. The pressure of the dark formation made them stop in their tracks solemnly. The eyes of the red skeletons near the formation were shining with green light. He rushed up immediately, but quickly retreated into the bloody swamp.

A bright knight turned around and returned the same way, and soon saw the Holy See's convoy. He put away his long sword and quickly entered Cambecas' carriage.

The Knight of Light reported the previous situation truthfully, and then quietly waited for Cambecas' order.

Cambecas touched his chin and fell silent. From the Central Holy See to the Goss Empire to the Principality of Shas, this journey made him refresh his understanding of the dark forces.

The darkness of the countries near the Holy See is not serious because of its geographical location, and the Goss Empire does not seem to suffer too many casualties under the occupation of the darkness, so this makes Cambecas think that the black witch is not to be feared.

But the farther he was from the Holy See, the more he was surprised by the monsters he met on the road and the situation in various countries. After arriving in the Principality of Shas, he no longer dared to underestimate the black witch.

After going back, you must signal to the pope that he is about to take action, and you can't wait any longer, otherwise it will not be so simple to clean up after the monster evolves a few more times.

It would not be a good thing for the Holy See to allow the dark forces to destroy the foundation of Staru Continent...Kambekas had various thoughts in his mind, and after meditating for a while, he asked the Knight of Light: "Where are we currently in the Principality of Shas?"

"Southeast, two days away from the Gelug Empire."

Cambecas thought for a while and said, "Let's set it here, tell them to rest where they are, and start tomorrow."

It's almost time to deal with the blond bishop, just stay away from the werewolves in the Gelug Empire, so as not to make any mistakes.

The situation outside was much more dangerous than he had imagined, and he had to go back and inform the Pope about it.

Cambekas took out a black scroll and threw it to the Knight of Light, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Lord Sierra and tell her to act tonight."

The Knight of Light responded in a low voice, put away the black scroll and turned to leave.

The carriage returned to silence. Cambecas opened the window, glanced sideways at the dim environment outside, clasped his palms together, narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking about.

The convoy in front stopped suddenly, Mario frowned, and sent a knight of light to inquire about the situation. Knowing that it was an order from Cambecas, his eyes flickered, and he turned around and came to Tang Qiu's carriage , whispered the situation again.

There was silence in the carriage for a while before the gentle voice of the blond bishop came out, "Listen to him."

Her tone was casual, but Mario could hear the calmness and confidence in controlling everything.

He paused, thinking of the other side of the blond bishop he saw when he was in the elves, Mario swallowed back what he wanted to say, and just said in a low voice: "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave to make arrangements, when Tang Qiu's voice came from inside the carriage again, "It may be uneasy tonight, you send someone to keep an eye on the guards of Cambecas."

Mario understood Tang Qiu's hint, and he nodded in response, "I see." He has worked for Ruisi for so many years, and it is his ability to become her trusted confidant.

"I won't let anyone go."

After tonight, only one of them and the guards of Cambecas can see the sun of tomorrow.

However, how will the Archbishop of Cambecas deal with it?When Mario turned to leave, he looked up at the carriage again. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still didn't choose to ask rashly.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Tang Qiu in the carriage looked at the book in his hand again, not much worried about the fierce battle that might occur tonight.

The sky near the dark formation was gloomy, and the daylight hours were extremely short. Tang Qiu only read a third of the book in his hand, and the sky outside was completely dark.

Mario himself stood guard in front of the carriage, holding the staff in his hand, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

After the darkness fell, the surroundings suddenly began to fog up, and the red skull swayed around again, but because it was afraid of the bright breath here, it didn't get too close.

The black crow landed on the dry branch, its red eyes staring closely at the Holy See team in the darkness, it was both weird and gloomy.

A gust of wind swept the dust, and the black crows flew up in fright, and a black mist suddenly rose from under their feet. Before the Knight of Light could react, the mist completely enveloped the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Tang Qiu's hands flicking through the book paused, she raised her head slightly, her lips moved a few times, a bright enchantment appeared around the carriage, and the black mist shrank back fearfully.

Mario first raised his staff, and after thinking about it, he changed it to a golden long sword. He stood in front of the carriage and ordered: "Protect Bishop Grace."

The Knight of Light drew out his long sword and surrounded the carriage in the center, and the priest standing in the inner circle also took out his staff and began to chant spells.

A figure flashed in the black mist. Before Mario could confirm the position of the other party, a dark flame with green light suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

A gloomy aura rushed towards the face, and the flame circle shrank smaller and smaller. The priests stopped their spells one after another, and began to use purification techniques to try to extinguish the flames.

Mario looked at the surrounding dark flames solemnly, and said with a frown, "This is a dark spell."

Was it the black witch who besieged them?

The door of the carriage was opened, Tang Qiu came out from inside, looked at the dark flames around, raised his eyebrows, and said unexpectedly: "The power is quite powerful."

Mario turned to look at her, "This place is very close to the dark formation, suitable for black witches to cast spells."

Tang Qiu shook his head, "The other party is not a black witch."

Mario was taken aback, "Isn't it?" But this is indeed a dark spell.

Although there are blood races and dark elves among the dark creatures, these two races only use the power of darkness, not this kind of dark magic.

Tang Qiu took out his staff and chanted a spell. The bright flames fell from the sky and completely swallowed the dark flames, and burned them towards the surrounding black mist. "The opponent is the blood of the Xitai clan."

It was only from Lucille that Tang Qiu knew what the talent of the Xitai Clan was.

This clan is different from the other clans of the blood clan. Their lineage did not exist in the age of the gods.

To be precise, the Xitai clan was originally the earliest mages among humans who began to practice dark magic. In order to pursue eternal life and eternal power, they studied other blood clans and successfully transformed themselves into one of them.

A long time ago, the Xitai clan was not recognized by the blood clan. During the holy war, they were on the side of the blood clan. However, unlike other clans, the Xitai clan's speed and strength were not that outstanding.

They are good at dark spells, of course, after transforming into vampires, they call their spells blood spells.

Tang Qiu put down his staff, stared at the surrounding black mist, and said thoughtfully: "But the number of people is smaller than I imagined."

It was within her expectation that Cambecas couldn't help but make the first move, and she also guessed the opponent's hole card.

It has to be said that the place Cambecas chose was very good. Tang Qiu was a little suspicious whether Cambecas' intentions coincided with hers.

The black mist not only enveloped Tang Qiu's side, but also included Cambecas' side. The difference was that their place was peaceful and not under any attack.

Cambecas stood beside the carriage and watched the chaotic situation there, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the white light of the light spell illuminated the darkness from time to time, and the back of the blond bishop was extremely eye-catching in the white light.

Although Canbecas couldn't see Tang Qiu's expression, he secretly imagined whether the gentle smile that the blond bishop always wore on his face had been replaced by panic.

It was a pity not to be able to see the panic and terror on that stunning face.

"Keep an eye on them, and don't let any of them go." Cambecas finished speaking, and was about to turn back to the carriage when a light knight in the team suddenly screamed, making his movements stop.

Cambecas frowned, "What's wrong?"

A knight of light went to check the situation and found that there was no screaming person on the ground except for a pool of blood.

Priests and light knights became vigilant. They surrounded Cambecas in the center, and the light spells were prepared in advance.

There was another scream, this time behind them. When the people around turned their heads, the screamer had disappeared.

Cambecas' face sank, and he winked at the priest who followed him.

The priest led the other priests to release the spell, and the darkness was suddenly illuminated, but the surrounding area was very empty, and there were no people around.

The Knight Commander of Light scanned the surroundings, and when he was about to send someone out to investigate, a corpse fell from the sky and fell at their feet.

The corpse was a Knight of Light who had just disappeared. The knight closest to the corpse stepped forward and turned him over, and found that his face was pale and his neck was bloody, and he seemed to have been sucked to death.

On the mountain wall behind them, Lola threw down the dead Knight of Light. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said with a satisfied face: "The blood of the Holy See personnel is more delicious."

Next to her were two blood clans, one was eating like her, and the other was watching Tang Qiu and the others.

"This is Lord Sera's aura..." The blood clan crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "Did the Xitai clan really have an affair with the Holy See?"

More than 1000 years ago, the Pope of the Holy See died at the hands of their blood clan. This news caused a sensation in the blood field, but the related Xitai clan and Zhimimei clan avoided talking about it.

Later, the Holy See adjusted quickly, and the relationship between the various clans of the Blood Clan was at a time of tension, so the Blood Clan did not take advantage of the fire to attack the Holy See.

The Blood Clan remembered the rumors about Evan and others in the Blood Domain, and raised his hand to touch his chin. Unexpectedly... the Xitai Clan and the Zhimimei Clan are so courageous.
