The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Vandent is located to the west of the main city. Because of the Black Death epidemic, a high wall was built between Vandent and the main city. After setting fire to the city, the walls were demolished, including the city wall of Vandent. and a main street were bulldozed and leveled.

An iron fence surrounded Van Dent. Except for the Cavaliers, occasionally some courageous and curious young people sneaked in through the fence, but they didn't come out in the end.

It has become a well-known dead city.

When Tang Qiu brought the priests and holy knights to Vendent, he unexpectedly didn't see Irene's figure. He found that the Knights of the Black Crow were receiving them, and sent a team of people along the way to protect them and send them in.

As soon as he stepped into Van Dent's territory, the air became oppressive, and dead silence filled the surroundings. The slight sound of footsteps was amplified countless times, making people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"... Shall we start searching for the black witch?" A priest was about to cast a spell, but Tang Qiu raised her hand to stop her. She shook her head slightly at the priest, "Don't use the spell of light."

The priest was puzzled, "Why?"

"It will disturb the monsters hiding here."

"Isn't that just right? Isn't the purpose of our coming here to destroy the monsters?"

Why do the Holy See always have so many priests who are not afraid of death?Tang Qiu sighed silently, and continued to explain patiently: "We still don't know the specific situation here, and using the light spell will reveal our position."

The priest was not very convinced by Tang Qiu, curled his lips, and complained in a low voice, "Cowardly."

"It's not cowardice, it's prudence." Tang Qiu defended himself softly, then didn't bother to talk to the priest, turned around and told the rest of the people. Fortunately, the rest of the priests were relatively normal.

Irene didn't show up from the beginning to the end, which was unexpectedly in line with Tang Qiu's wishes. She and Monica's dignitaries came to Vendent to investigate the situation, and they really wanted to get a handle on the details of the dark feast.

Irene's descriptions of the Dark Feast are always not very detailed, and Tang Qiu can't grasp the strength of the opponent.

Passing through the ruins of broken walls, Tang Qiu and others finally saw some relatively complete buildings. Although the walls were covered with traces of fire, one could see from the outline how prosperous it was once, with a height of tens of meters. The lighthouse is even more magnificent than the main city.

They walked all the way, not to mention the black crow, not even a feather. The priest who was dissatisfied with Tang Qiu before said sarcastically, "Aren't we being too cautious?"

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while without seeing Tang Qiu's rebuttal, thinking that she had been poked into a painful spot by herself, and the expression on her face became smug.

The rest of the priests looked at each other, and they all looked at the blond priest in the middle in unison, and found that she was staring ahead in a daze, and followed her line of sight, only seeing a scarecrow with a weird shape.

The straw on the scarecrow's body is sparse, and there is only a mouth made of stones on the face, which is tattered and looks like it was inserted here a long time ago.

What's so good about a scarecrow?The priests felt puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Grace, what are you looking at?"

Tang Qiu put his finger on his lips and hissed, signaling them to be quiet.

She looked at the scarecrows in front of her solemnly, shifted her gaze, looked around, and silently counted the number of scarecrows in her mind, there were five in total.

The clones of the five black witches, Tang Qiu pondered for a while with downcast eyes, and decided to retreat temporarily. This is not something the priests she brought can deal with.

Tang Qiu ordered to go back, but the priest who didn't like her thought she was too timid, so he didn't listen to her order, and directly chanted a spell, a bright flame fell on the scarecrow, and the scarecrow was ignited without any abnormality.

She glanced at Tang Qiu contemptuously.

Tang Qiu, who had already turned around, was taken aback for a moment. When she turned her head, she saw the scarecrow in the flames with sharp eyes. A pair of eyes suddenly appeared on his face, which was still scarlet minced meat.

The ground under her feet suddenly shook, and a hand bone emerged from the ground under the priest's feet, tightly grasping her feet and pulling her down, and she sank to her knees in just one click, and she let out a scream.

The holy knight drew out his sword and stepped forward, cut off the bones of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to pull out the half-sinking priest.

The soft white light fell on the scarecrow, covering its vision, and the shaking ground stopped suddenly. Tang Qiu retracted the staff and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

No one dared to question this time, the holy knight escorted them away.

The spell of light alarmed the black witches hiding in Vandent, a burst of croaking sound came from far and near, gray black crows appeared behind them covering the sky, and several unlucky knights were instantly swallowed up. Only one pair of armor remained.

"What should I do..." The priests' hands and feet were cold, and one of them was quite calm, and whispered a spell, and the light enchantment covered them. However, the enchantment was so precarious that it couldn't last for a few minutes.

Tang Qiu glanced back and frowned. There was still half the distance to Van Dent's exit. If it was just the black crows, it was not impossible to deal with them, but they had already alarmed the black witch... She pondered for a while, He spoke softly, although the voice was not loud, it calmed down the panicked crowd.

"Surround me." Tang Qiu took out a box and quickly opened it. Inside was a two-inch long scroll.

She opened the scroll and chanted a spell in a low voice. The scroll suddenly shone with dazzling golden light and enveloped everyone, and they all disappeared in place when the black crows swooped down.

Tang Qiu and others were teleported back to the Holy See. Tang Qiu was a little distressed at the consumption of a teleportation scroll. However, the practicality of the teleportation scroll moved her heart again, and she began to think about how to find more spares.

Everyone who returned to the Holy See was in shock. Suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps. Monica pushed the door in from the outside. Seeing Tang Qiu and others froze for a moment, she frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Tang Qiu briefly described the situation of Van Dent.

Monica was a little surprised, and thought of something again, her face was ugly, "The palace was attacked again."

Before there was a monster attacking the palace, and later there was a black witch hiding in Vandent. Monica was upset for a while. Ever since Reese came, the Holy See has been in trouble everywhere.

Her anger was aroused again, and she signaled Tang Qiu to wait a moment, and she strode towards the back garden of the Holy See, where Rui Si enjoyed her afternoon tea.

The back garden of the Holy See has beautiful scenery and soft sunshine. Reese seems to be very satisfied with it, and spends a lot of time here every day.

She planted a lot of flowers around Mirror Lake, and even though Monica ruthlessly ordered the flowers to be cleared away every time she left, she still enjoyed it.

Monica came to Mirror Lake angrily, looked at Reese who was earnestly sowing seeds in an open field, she gritted her teeth and said, "The people of the Bill Empire, the believers of the light of the Holy See, are in dire straits now, why are you Can you stay here safely and not rescue them?"

The archbishop in red can use high-level light spells. As long as Resken makes a move, the monsters outside can't survive for a minute at all.

Reese gave her a funny look, "I am the cardinal of the Holy See, not the cardinal of the Bill Empire."

"Those who are suffering outside are our believers."

Reese shrugged, her smiling eyes were careless, "I need to receive orders from the Pope before I can act."

It was shameless, Monica glared at Reese with anger as if it were real.

Reese also poured oil on her own, "After all, my power of light is not wasted on these people."

After she finished speaking, she put her hand on the ground and said the spell softly, the voice was not high but enough for Monica to hear.

She is using light spells to encourage the growth of newly planted seeds.

Monica looked at her coldly and turned around angrily.

She left Jinghu, saw Tang Qiu waiting by the door, and motioned for her to follow her.

Tang Qiu glanced out through the gap in the door, just in time to meet Ruisi who was looking up to this side, and Ruisi blinked at her.

Tang Qiu looked away and followed Monica. After walking a few steps, there was a slight resistance from her feet. She looked down suspiciously, and saw a skeleton mouse the size of a palm hovering around her feet.

Tang Qiu: "..."

From the bright ring on the skeleton mouse to conceal its aura, we can tell whose handwriting it is, but Irene is really a strange black witch, she is not afraid of light spells, even her summons not afraid.

She raised her eyes and glanced around, then bent down to put away the letter on the skeleton rat.

Monica noticed that Tang Qiu had stopped, and turned around to ask, "Grace?"

Tang Qiu responded with a natural expression. Seeing that the mouse had disappeared without a trace, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he followed Monica again.

In the room of a small hotel in the main city, Irene, who was delivering a letter to Tang Qiu, was sitting on the ground. There was a pitch-black jar in front of her, and various strangely shaped materials were in hand.

She stared down at the jar, and occasionally carefully selected a material to put in it. A wisp of green smoke floated out of the jar, and a figure flashed in the smoke. She squinted her eyes and frowned as she looked at the blurred picture.

The door was knocked loudly, and Irene came back to her senses in an instant. She put away the materials and jars in a panic, then opened the window to diffuse the smell, and then carefully opened the door a crack, revealing only a pair of eyes watching vigilantly. Looking outside, worried about seeing the silver cavaliers.

But her worries were unnecessary, there were only two young girls outside the door.

She asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Among them, a woman with long brown hair like her took out a piece of parchment and unfolded it to her, "Did you post this?"

The parchment is her announcement to recruit helpers.

Erin nodded.

"The reward is thirty bottles of bright holy water?"

"……Correct."

The brown-haired girl put down the parchment and said in a flat tone, "We are here to answer the call."

Irene looked at them suspiciously. She needed helpers above the level of a sword master to deal with the monsters. These two women seemed to have little strength, and they didn't even have swords.

She coughed dryly, trying to find an excuse to get over it.

The brown-haired woman's companion saw through Irene's thoughts, she snorted coldly, and raised her hand impatiently to remove the door that Irene was holding onto with a click.

Another kick kicked a hole in the solid wall.

Erin stared at her blankly.

"Eva, stop." The brown-haired woman stopped her companion, and then said to Irene: "We have the strength above sword master, you can rest assured."

"Hey, is it okay, please hurry up." Eva was impatient and violent, she stared at Irene as if her answer was no, and rushed over to unload her too.

Irene shrank her neck. Without the cover of the door panel, she felt very insecure. She nodded silently, "...you can think about it."

Eva was not very satisfied with her answer, but the brown-haired woman had already spoken before her, "Okay, we live next door, you can come to us when you think about it."

Irene watched them leave, then stared blankly at her door, folded her arms pitifully, and went down to find the boss to change rooms.

Going back to her room, Eva said dissatisfiedly: "Do we have to wait?" How many people want to hire them, that sick person is really clueless.

"If you don't want to, let's go back to the territory."

Eva didn't want to go back, she ran to the bed angrily, far away from her companion, and didn't want to talk to her.

Because the road was delayed by monsters, it was too late for them to rush to Goss, and the leader's order was not completed. Eva and the two were about to go back to return to their orders. They tore off Irene's announcement because they couldn't resist the [-] bottles of bright holy water. lure.

Wanted to earn some extra cash on the way home.
