The monastery was originally a place for clergy to cultivate, so the furnishings inside were very simple, but this could be said to be the main monastery of the Benedictine Church. It could be regarded as a benchmark among the monasteries in the country. It was similar to Tsinghua University in universities and Shaolin Temple in temples, so the core chapel had begun to show the high-end in its bones.
Not to mention those exquisite bone china products, not to mention the magnificent and dignified colonnades, beautifully carved arches, colorful glass, and towering steeples, just the portraits of the kings, queens, and nobles hanging on the walls were enough.
These portraits seemed ordinary, but in fact, they were all masterpieces. Any one of them was priceless. The statues standing next to them were directly molded according to the faces of the nobles and kings after their death. The style could be said to be absolutely real and vivid.
Although this place had just been ruined by the Mother of the Cave, and there was still an indescribable stench in the air, they were still unconsciously infected by the atmosphere when they entered.
Fang Linyan, as a hired guide at this time, couldn't fall behind. Suddenly, he heard a sound in the room on the right. When he walked in, he found that there were 3 priests wrapped in a large white silk bag from head to toe. Only 2 breathing holes were exposed at the nose.
There was also a wreckage next to the silk bag. It seemed to be a giant praying mantis, but only most of the shell was left, so it was not easy to distinguish.
They were obviously the food stored by the Mother of the Cave. Their bodies were injected with paralyzing venom, and most of them had fallen asleep.
However, the one who made the noise was a member of the church's knights. He was obviously strong and powerful, so he successfully resisted the invasion of the paralyzing venom. After hearing the sound outside, he struggled frantically, which attracted Fang Linyan's attention.
The spider silk wrapped around them was extremely tough, and there was a lot of mucus on it, so it could only be burned bit by bit with a lighter. After rescuing these people, the reputation of everyone in the team and the British Royal Dragon Calvary was significantly improved.
After killing the thunderbird before, Fang Linyan's relationship with the British Royal Dragon Cavalry was raised to friendly (25005000). At this time, after saving these 3 people, his reputation had soared to friendly (29503000). He was only a little bit away from being promoted to respected.
The knight of the Church was called Knight Doran. He was in good condition after being rescued, but the other two priests were unconscious. Fortunately, Robert was sure that their lives were not in danger. The Mother of the Caves also liked fresh food, so the paralyzing venom would only make them enter a state of suspended animation or hibernation. They could survive for at least a month.
Knight Doran and the other two priests were members of another denomination, the Franciscans. Their original plan was to come to the headquarters of the Franciscans to borrow an exorcism sacred item, but they did not expect to encounter such a dangerous incident in Westminster Temple.
Next, Robert gave them a medicine that should wake them up in a short time.
When Knight Doran heard that they were looking for Archbishop Molegni, he told them that the archbishop's residence was indeed at the back. He went to see His Excellency yesterday, so he was willing to lead the way to help find the archbishop.
However, there was another terrifying underground creature in this area, that was the death worm.
These insects with earth magic could move freely in the soil, just like fish moving in the water. They had an extremely keen sense of hearing. They could perceive footsteps hundreds of meters away, and they could also judge the size and weight of the prey from the footsteps.
Then they would suddenly attack the prey from underground. First, they would spit acid to blind the prey, then they would use their mouthparts full of ring-shaped sharp teeth to tear off a large piece of the enemy's flesh and devour it greedily. At the same time, they had the twisting ability of snakes. This kind of insect also had a very bad habit. It would hunt all the nearby animals that could be killed and then collect them together. Because they had a strong digestive system, they could eat fresh meat and rotten meat.
Knight Doran and the others were attacked by two death worms. After they got separated, they had no choice but to run into the nest of the Mother of the Caves.
Therefore, Knight Doran hoped that they would be mentally prepared because Archbishop Molegni might have been killed.
With Knight Doran leading the way, Fantessy's party moved even faster. Soon, they passed through a gorgeous patio. There were huge fan-shaped pendants and a beautiful, crystal stalactite dome that seemed to be hanging upside down. It was a spectacular combination of the Gothic architectural style and the unique style of the arch.
There was also a vine rose that was more than 100 years old in the courtyard. It was in the middle of its flowering period, and the strong fragrance of the flower assailed their noses. The red and white roses that covered the entire wall swayed gently among the green leaves. It was like a sea of flowers. It was a spectacular sight.
However, as if to prove Knight Doran's words, there was an obvious deep hole in the originally smooth terrazzo. It was at least the size of a water bucket. There were also a few drops of blood splattered around it. The blood had already solidified. It seemed that the victim had been killed for a while. This was obviously caused by the death worms.
After turning the corner of the corridor, Knight Doran pointed to a very ordinary small room in front and said,
"This is the Archbishop's room."
Fang Linyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the door was closed.
Then they came to the door of the room. After knocking on the door a few times, they found that no one responded. Lipper and Donov looked at each other, then they kicked the door open at the same time.
The scene inside the door was shocking. It turned out that Archbishop Molegni had fallen into a pool of blood and was unconscious. Fortunately, he seemed to be breathing weakly. The key was that in the center of the room, there were also 2 deep holes the size of water buckets!
Obviously, Knight Doran's prediction was not wrong. These 2 hungry and ferocious demonic worms would hunt all the animals nearby. It was just that he guessed the beginning but not the end. Because the 2 dangerous giant worms that made him flee were also lying in this room. One of them had been burnt black with a strong stench, and the other had been torn into 3 pieces.
After witnessing this scene, of course, they had to give first aid to Archbishop Molegni. However, in the eyes of others, it was not surprising that this archbishop had powerful combat power. Knight Doran's shock was a little too much. At this time, there was no need to show such a shocked look.
However, there were 2 injuries on Archbishop Molegni's body. His chest was bitten, and his back was also sprayed by the acid of the death worms, so he had to take off his coat and bare his upper body to save him. When Fang Linyan went over to help pour the powder on the wound, he suddenly noticed something, and his heart moved slightly.
After simply bandaging the archbishop's wound, the 2 priests who stayed outside also woke up. Needless to say, the group returned the way they came.
Although there were occasional twists and turns on the way back, they didn't cause too much trouble because they were led by the expert, Robert. They only encountered a group of Fire-eyed Flying Snakes and a few moss-infected dogs that followed the smell of flesh and blood. It wasn't too difficult to get rid of them.
When a group of people escorted Archbishop Molegni to the square, the entire Fantess's team was excited and restless. To be honest, this feeling of completing the mission ahead of the other teams was really cool. Of course, the reward of the main mission was also very generous.
Although Fang Linyan did not get the reward of the main mission (because he did not have the main mission), he still received a prompt. That was, saving Archbishop Molegni made his reputation among the royal dragon knights soar. It actually crossed 2 ranks in a row.
It directly improved from friendly (29003000) to reverence (016000), which was equivalent to directly crossing the stage of intermediate respect.
Not only that, the relationship between him and Archbishop Molegni also improved to friendly.
After the reputation of the royal dragon knight was upgraded to reverence, Fang Linyan immediately exchanged the medal of the British Empire that he had long coveted from the quartermaster (limited to 1 purchase).

***
The reason why Fang Linyan coveted this medal was that the specific attributes of this medal once again strengthened his survivability, although it also weakened his attack power in disguise.
At this stage, Fang Linyan's style of doing things was still based on hiding. If he could not fight head-on, he would definitely not fight head-on. Then, equipment that strengthened survivability was definitely the best. After all, only by surviving could he have a better output. A little weakening would not change anything.
Then, he would definitely get 10 special marching cans of the dragon knight.
At this time, the people of Fantess's team had almost finished their work and came to find Fang Linyan. They traded the remaining 4000 utility points. Fang Linyan's utility points at this time directly reached about 14,500 points, which could be said to be the highest ever.
