On the second floor of the tavern, Sala and Lilith were trying their best to stay calm and patient. The noises downstairs had completely died down.
"Haha, those muscle-brained adventurers finally understand the importance of maintaining their stamina and spirit," Lilith said sarcastically with a slight smile.
Sala shook his head and was about to remind his sister not to underestimate those adventurers. Since they could survive in Melzer Black Forest and the Dark Mountain Range all year round, they must have a certain level of strength. There might even be a powerful Knight among them. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw that the candlelight in front of him was slowly turning pale, and the surrounding walls were slowly being peeled off, revealing darkness bit by bit.
At the same time, a thin layer of gray haze slowly emerged.
In this monotonous world of black, white, and gray, Sala and Lilith only had the same feeling, even though there were many adventurers in the room next to them and on the first floor of the tavern below them.
The wooden table that was touched by Lucien's hand gradually turned black, as if it was giving off a rotten smell. Sala was shocked. Without thinking much, he grabbed his sister's hand and ran out of the room.
"Let's go! Something is really wrong!"
Sala hurriedly ordered Lilith. The fear, fear, and other emotions that he had suppressed because of his greed all came back to him.
However, his voice also seemed to be covered with gray fog and monotonous black and white. Even Lilith, who was standing beside him, could only look at him in confusion while running downstairs with him.
Sala also realized that his voice was weak, so he shouted loudly, "Run! It's dangerous here! "
Lilith finally heard her brother's voice, which seemed to come from another world. She nodded while running. She was much more timid than her brother. After seeing the changes in the town, she could not wait to leave as soon as possible.
At the same time, the two apprentices did not forget their magic. They held the casting materials in their hands and kept chanting spells. Once they encountered danger, they would immediately cast the spells.
Running down the stairs, Sala saw that the adventurers had also realized that something was wrong. They were all rushing to the tavern's entrance, so she pulled her sister and ran to the back door that the adventurers did not expect.
Kicking the wooden door open, the siblings rushed out. None of the sleeping townspeople noticed anything unusual, so the street was unusually quiet. The darkness was slowly peeling away from Elsinore Lake.
Sala and Lilith fled in the direction of "Massawa Town" without looking back. They were full of fear for the gray, cold silence.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the town. In front of them was the rammed earth road that led to Massawa Town, as well as a few adventurers who had run here before them.
"What happened at Lake Elsinore? What's wrong with the defense? "Sala and Lilith, who were slightly relieved, had a lot of questions. They were about to turn around and take a look.
The first few adventurers who had arrived at Massawa Town were also thinking the same thing. They had already turned around to look at Lake Elsinore.
"Ah!" Before Lilith had time to turn around, her beautiful big eyes popped out, and she screamed.
The exposed skin of the few adventurers quickly turned gray, and some parts of their bodies even started to rot. However, their faces were blank, and it seemed that they did not notice the changes in their bodies at all.
Sala saw that the adventurers' eyes were gradually turning blank, so she pulled her sister's arm and shouted, "Don't look back! Keep running! "
Sala and Lilith were so scared that their throats were sour. Behind them, there was a burst of horrifying screams, cries, and laughter coming from the town of Bonn.
After passing through the thick curtain, Sala and Lilith felt that their bodies had become a little warmer, but they did not dare to stay any longer. Holding back the dizziness, they continued to run towards Massawa Town.
…
When the normal darkness disappeared and the gray fog appeared, Ilya, the silver-robed priest, was the first one to notice that something was wrong.
"What happened to the magic lock?! It's completely different from what the great Master of Argent told us! "
After a short moment of surprise, Ilya made up his mind. Through the crystal ball, he said to the priests, priests, and dark Knight, "Don't worry about those who are preparing the blood sacrifice to unlock the seal. The magic lock is changing, and it means that the one is about to break free! We have to activate the summoning circle right now and summon the true God! "
Six priests flew up from Bonn and Lake Elsinore, and twelve priests and dark Knight stood on the ground, facing each other. This was the total power of Argent Horn in the Duchy of Orvarit, and there were also some priests from other countries and the Dark Mountain Range who came here after hearing the oracle of the Master of Argent.
Ilya flew to the sky above Elsinore Lake and saw that the beautiful lake water had completely solidified. Then, it suddenly collapsed and turned into pieces of illusory light, illuminating the bright starlight cross and the red liquid that was wriggling as if it had a life of its own.
Around the creepy Elsinore Lake, there were many "ghosts" that looked like skulls with pale light tails, "wraiths" floating in the air, "shadows" that were always dark and ferocious, and all kinds of ghost-like undead creatures appeared. They all raised their heads and screamed. Invisible waves overlapped with each other and formed a huge illusory monster. The monster was wearing a long black robe and holding a long sickle. Its feet were stepping in the red liquid, and there was a pair of pale and empty eyes on its shriveled face.
Seeing this illusory monster, Ilya could not help but shiver even though he had cast a lot of protective spells on himself. He felt that his life force was quickly fading away.
Seeing that the Grand Cross was slowly disintegrating, and the place where the black, white, and gray world overlapped with the main world was dyed with dreamy starlight, Ilya quickly calmed down and took out a huge pale palm out of nowhere. Every finger on the palm was curved, revealing sharp, inhuman bone spurs, shining with silent, cold light.
Raising the palm up high, Ilya chanted an incantation that could drive people crazy. Silver-white lines gathered around Ilya from the priests in the sky, the priests on the ground, and the dark knights, forming a complicated magic circle.
After the spell was cast, a layer of wriggling silver light appeared in the black, white and gray world, which was cold and evil.
Ilya hurriedly threw the pale hand to the center of the magic circle. The silver light rolled down and wrapped around the hand.
A silver gate with countless strange and evil runes slowly appeared, and the Grand Cross below it was almost completely gone.
Suddenly, a terrifying pillar of scorching light that illuminated monotonous black, white, and gray shot down from the sky and hit the silver-white door right in the middle.
The black and gray disappeared, and the whole world was filled with the endless holy light.
The monster in the black robe above Elsinore Lake was directly vaporized, and all kinds of ghost-like undead creatures around it disappeared in silent screams. Even the undead creatures in the small town of Bonn were turned into ashes by the holy light.
The eighth-circle divine spell, Sunburst!
"Amelton, Gossett! Didn't you go to the border and guard Aalto? "Ilya was surprised to see two cardinals in the sky.
Amelton, who had long black hair and a beautiful face, was holding a cross with the sun on it. Gossett, who had short flaxen hair, was serious and cold as usual.
Count Hart Rafati, the deputy commander of the Violet Knight Regiment, Count Hayward, and two other celestial Knights were also around them.
Except for those who were guarding the North Fortress and the fortresses around the Dark Mountain Range, almost half of the powerful figures in the Duchy of Orvarit were gathered here.
In the sky and on the ground behind them, Salvatore, Clown, and other leaders of the night watchers were also closing in on the cultists.
Vera Amelton, the seventh-circle cardinal, put away the level eight badge and answered coldly, "We're here to destroy the Argent Horn once and for all."
Ilya had expected that the church would come to Elsinore Lake to check the poems and manuscripts, but he did not expect that there would be such a powerful group of people waiting to ambush him. He did not even have the chance to pray to God to kill them all.
"Who betrayed us?"
In desperation and anger, Ilya grinned viciously, "If the true God can't come, you won't be able to deal with this sealed one. Do you want to become undead creatures with me? Could it be that Sard is here too? "
…
In the wilderness where Melzer Black Forest and the Dark Mountain Range met.
Natasha, riding her favorite horse named Agatha, stopped in front of Lucien and asked in confusion, "Why are you here, Lucien? Aren't you going to Tiran Province?" He was still wearing a black robe with a hood, which made him look like one of those evil figures who walked in the dark.
Although the Starlight Shield had collapsed after being attacked by the wraiths and the soul worms, Lucien knew that he was too conspicuous in this outfit, and he was not sure if Natasha saw him coming out of the space crack.
Considering that Natasha's power was close to that of a radiant knight, and Lucien himself had just become a sorcerer, even if he launched a sneak attack, he might not be able to defeat her. Therefore, Lucien pulled down his hood and decided to tell the truth.
"Actually, I learned the location and opening time of a magic relic from Mr. De 'Niro's poem and the manuscript that two strangers came to me for interpretation. Natasha, you know that I've always wanted to improve my power as a Knight to protect my family and friends, so I decided to hide my identity and go there to find some useful potions. However, when I arrived at Bonn, I somehow found myself in the black, white, and grey Silent Relic. Then I was forced into a space crack by the undead creatures, and somehow I ended up here. "
"Hehe, I didn't know that being a 'historian' was such a good thing." Natasha smiled weakly and tiredly. She was no longer as cheerful and humorous as she used to be. "Actually, I only learned about it the day before yesterday. I changed my destination out of curiosity and planned to go to Elsinore Lake to have a look. But we were ambushed, and many people died.
Natasha did not fully believe Lucien's words, and she still had a lot of questions. However, at this moment, she was smart enough not to ask.
"Ambushed? Natasha, you also want to go to Elsinore Lake? Where's Ms. Camille? " Lucien did not expect that Natasha also knew about it. However, what Natasha said next surprised Lucien.
Natasha put on a sad face, but soon she became determined again, "In order to help me, Auntie Camille stalled a Knight and a senior-rank sorcerer. I don't know how she's doing now. However, the one who ambushed me was … "
Before Natasha could finish her words, she heard the sound of horses galloping. Behind her, a large group of cavalrymen was approaching. They slowly spread out and blocked the way to Melzer Black Forest, Aalto, and Bonn, leaving only the steep mountain peak for Natasha to climb.
In front of the cavalrymen was Verdi, who was riding a strange white horse with goat horns, and beside him was Sylvia who was in pain. Drogny was nowhere to be seen.
"My dear cousin, don't struggle anymore. The church and the Violet Knights won't be able to come to your aid in time," Verdi, who was wearing a full set of purple armor, said in a solemn and serious tone.
Lucien was a bit surprised at first, and then he laughed at himself in his mind. He was still in danger. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
