Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

In the empty hall of the wooden church, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other.

The old man was wearing a red coat, and the young man was wearing a gray robe with a hood.

Next to the old man stood a female knight in a red skirt, her mouth wide open, her face full of disbelief.

"...Are you close to God!?"

The cardinal's inquiry kept echoing in the female knight's mind.

"No, no, no, it's impossible, how could it be possible... three baptisms! No one can survive three baptisms!"

"No, this is impossible!"

The female knight in the red skirt almost popped out of her eye sockets, and kept repeating those words, as if only this could make her feel at ease.

However... the more she muttered, the quieter her voice became, and in the end she couldn't even make any sound.

Sitting opposite with his legs crossed, Xiao Jian felt a little regretful.

After all, the information that "no one can survive the third baptism" is quite important.

It's a pity that the other party didn't continue this topic, and Xiao Jian didn't ask too much... It's not because he was afraid of losing his status, but because he was afraid of being exposed.

For every minute Xiao Jian kept his identity, he could find out more intelligence.

After all, if the other party thought he was one of them, they would not be on guard for many things. But if they knew he was an enemy, they would not answer even some common sense questions.

"You..." The cardinal looked at Xiao Jian fearfully, "Your holy weapon is a staff, and I remember you activated [Pain Strike], [Shadow Arrow] and [Shadow Claw]..."

"... Have you activated more powers?"

The cardinal looked at Xiao Jian as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Guess?"

When asked this question, Xiao Jian smiled mysteriously, and his crossed legs swayed, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

"At least there is a counteracting power, what is it? Shadow substitute? Shadow cloak? Shadow mirror?... What exactly is it? How did you resist the Holy Word?"

The cardinal said, even taking a defensive posture.

The red-skirted female knight, who had just been like a madman, huddled behind the cardinal like a quail, and dared not say a word.

"Are you asking?" Xiao Jian asked back.

"No, but..."

"Then I refuse to answer."

Xiao Jian's eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hood. Although the cardinal felt that Xiao Jian must be looking at him, he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had suddenly become naked and uneasy.

In fact, Xiao Jian did not look at him directly, but used the hood to cover his eyes and activated [Break the Confusion].

The role card of this cardinal was a bit strange - not to mention that the attributes were not high, and there was not even a single attribute in his attribute column!

But this is impossible!

The minimum limit to becoming an awakener is to have a non-[Faith] attribute!

How could there not be even a single attribute?

This reminded Xiao Jian of the three "War, Mage, and Priest" awakeners who were imprisoned in the Fortress Town.

Although on the surface, they all have three very neat characteristics, but in fact they have a hidden characteristic, namely [Container].

After loading their weapons, the so-called "holy vessels", with the [Container] characteristic, they can activate the characteristics attached to the "holy vessels".

Under normal circumstances, this [Container] characteristic is not displayed on the character card, unless the weapon is destroyed, this hidden characteristic will be revealed.

Therefore, Xiao Jian suspected that the cardinal in front of him also had characteristics similar to [Container], otherwise it would not explain why he could become an awakener.

However, even if Xiao Jian looked him up and down, he did not see any traces of hidden characteristics on him.

Could it be that he also contained some kind of "holy vessel"? Because he failed to activate the characteristics of these "holy vessels", the characteristic column was displayed as empty?

Xiao Jian quickly retracted his gaze, and the cardinal finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was exhausted and collapsed on the seat, bean-sized beads of sweat kept sliding down from his forehead, and soon wet a large area of ​​his collar.

"Uncle... are you okay?" the red group female knight asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm fine." The cardinal wiped his sweat, and when he looked at Xiao Jian again, the condescending look in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by undisguised fear.

"Morton, it is against doctrine for you to accept the third baptism privately! I..."

"... I have not accepted the third baptism." Xiao Jian interrupted him.

And when Xiao Jian said this, he deliberately shook the [True God] characteristic, making his words particularly true.

"Huh?" The cardinal looked at Xiao Jian in shock, "This, this is another authority... What is it? [Holiness]? Or [Holiness]? Impossible, this is the authority of the holy weapon of the knight route!"

"You, did you kill Franco and take away his holy weapon!?"

When saying this, the cardinal's voice began to tremble.

However...

"No." Xiao Jian replied lazily.

"..."

"I, I know, this is [cunning], or [deception]! This is also the authority of the shadow system, but it is less popular..."

"...You must be [deceiving] me!"

"You..."

The cardinal opened his mouth and wanted to say something slanderous, but when he really wanted to say it, he seemed to be mute. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

The reason is because the woman in the red dress asked in his ear: "Uncle, does he have six powers?"

As soon as these words came out, the cardinal seemed to be struck by lightning, standing there blankly, unable to say a word.

Silence spread in the church.

"Has the interrogation started? Or is it over?" Xiao Jian asked.

"...6, at least 6 authorities...you, have you come that far?" the cardinal asked tremblingly.

It seems that the strength classification of this continent is no different from the promotion route explored in Fortress Town.

For example, having 3 characteristics is a top-level awakened person, and starting from the 4th characteristic is considered a "near-god" level, and 6 characteristics is a "near-god perfection"...

Human beings can only be called gods if they master more than 7 characteristics - of course, this is the inference of Shao Youxian and others.

As for Xiao Jian, what he cares more about is the function of the characteristics, or how the combination can produce a certain effect... He actually doesn't care about the number of characteristics, nor does he think that more characteristics are stronger.

For example, the monsters that attacked Fortress Town before all had at least three characteristics. However, the problem is that attacks like [Slap], [Claw Attack], and [Peck] can only cause one damage to a single target, even if What's the use of repeating it more?

It would be better to have a [Prayer] or a [Promotion], which would allow Xiao Jian to have a large number of free and high-quality cannon fodder.

It's even worse than [Gigantization], [Frenzy], and [Resurrection], which can not only rush into the monster pile and fight Wushuang, but also be able to lose air every second when the blood line is pressed to 15%... and can even be played in case of emergency. Take it off and save your life!

The characteristics of high quality + high relevance are what Xiao Jian pursues.

Therefore, Xiao Jian only used 5 of the 9 newly obtained characteristics this time, including all three characteristics of "Priest" [Prayer], [Purification], and [Regeneration], and "Warrior" [Retribution] and [barrier].

In fact, Xiao Jian only wanted to use a [Barrier] at first. After all, [Punishment], a skill that causes huge amounts of pain to the enemy, is a "MT exclusive skill" used to increase the hatred value.

Xiao Jian actually learned this skill from Dahuang...

After all, if you give it directly to Dahuang, then only it can use this feature. It would be better if Xiao Jian learns it and all the pardoned chess pieces have the opportunity to use it.

Therefore, Xiao Jian, who had his own understanding of the number of characteristics, had no special reaction to the shock of the Cardinals and others.

But this is an incredible phenomenon in the eyes of the cardinal...

Powerful, unfazed by favors and humiliations, and indifferent to emotions and anger, his future is limitless no matter how he looks at it!

Of course, the premise is that he can pass the current inquiry.

"Ahem, Morton, the holder of the sacred weapon, I will now formally interrogate you."

The cardinal cleared his throat and suddenly changed his previous attitude of calling for an attack. Although he did not become easy to talk to, at least his attitude became more businesslike.

"What did you go through during the past few days when you were missing?"

asked the cardinal.

"Broken, falling, encountering evil gods, and narrowly escaping death."

Xiao Jian answered obediently, but the content of his answer was highly compressed and confusing, leaving the cardinal speechless for a moment.

After all, Xiao Jian has already tested it before, and the information content of the first eight characters alone is already explosive...and the more you know, the more convinced you will be.

After throwing out such a huge amount of information, people's attention was basically attracted by the first half of the sentence. As for how Xiao Jian escaped death in the end, of course it was easily ignored.

After all, to others, you are back alive, so what’s the point in listening to your bragging?

If there is nothing useful, I might still gossip and chat a few words about this issue, but the amount of information in front of me is already so explosive, so of course I have no intention of gossiping.

And this is exactly what Xiao Jian wants.

If he was forced to make one up, he wouldn't be able to make up a shocking escape story, but the problem is that he would be wrong if he said too much, and he would be wrong if he said too little.

As for not telling?

That's certainly good.

This is the most important thing Xiao Jian learned when he was working in a company before the end - if you don't tell me and I don't tell the leader, how will I know? If the leader doesn’t know, it means it didn’t happen.

"Broken...falling..."

"...The evil god in the void?"

"hiss……"

"No, something big is going to happen..."

"Not good, not good……"

"No wonder that boy Ian is so protective of you. It turns out it's because you have also been exposed to... these things."

The cardinal glanced behind him calmly, and was relieved a little when he found that the female knight in the red dress didn't notice this.

"The inquiry ends here. Your matter needs to be handled personally by a more senior archbishop..."

"……Wait a moment!"

Before the cardinal finished speaking, the female knight in red dress who was huddled behind him jumped out again.

"Aifa! Stop making trouble! You don't know how important this matter is!" the cardinal said with a headache.

"I, I only have one question - where is Kun? Is Kun really dead? Did you see it with your own eyes? Is he really unable to come back?"

As she asked questions, her tears began to fall in strings.

"No." Xiao Jian still said in that naughty and lazy tone, "I never said he was dead from the beginning to the end, right?"

"... I knew it! I just... um?" The red-skirted female knight turned back suddenly and looked at Xiao Jian in shock, "You didn't lie to me!?"

"Nonsense!"

"Then he..."

The red-skirted female knight wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Xiao Jian rudely: "I don't know anything. I got separated from the main force when I broke through - at least they were still alive at that time!"

Xiao Jian didn't want to waste more words on how he escaped.

As for why he told the red group of female knights about Kuhn's situation... It was mainly because the matter was resolved, and he was a little afraid that this guy would make trouble again.

Just like the cardinal said, if another archbishop came to inquire, Xiao Jian could collect another wave of intelligence.

But if the red-skirted female knight messed it up, he would have to go on a killing spree... At that time, what he shouldn't know would still be unknown.

Especially the baptism, Xiao Jian was very concerned.

Secondly, the "truth of the world" promised by the blond handsome guy Ian, Xiao Jian also wanted to know the history of this continent.

The world of the blind saint fell because of the exhaustion of "sunlight".

The correspondence between [Anchor Stone] and "Time".

The negative toad collects "resources" by invading fragments of other worlds.

If we can learn what they want to collect from this continent and how they continue their civilization, it will be very helpful to solve the most important ultimate puzzle.

"He is not dead... Hehe, he is really not dead... I know..."

"Wow..."

It seems that because of too much pressure, after hearing the good news given by Xiao Jian, the red skirt female knight finally couldn't help crying, and she cried very loudly.

"Uh, Aifa, don't cry, it's a joke... Forget it, I don't care about you."

The cardinal was so embarrassed that he tried to persuade her twice, but she didn't listen, and finally left in disgrace.

"Wow... Wow..."

The shrill cry echoed in the church.

Xiao Jian was still calm at first, but soon he couldn't cross his legs anymore.

"Wow...wow..."

"..."

"Aifa, Aifa, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly?"

Fortunately, the blond handsome guy Ian didn't let Xiao Jian embarrass himself for too long, and soon came in to save the situation - of course, it might also be that the cardinal urged him to come in to save the situation.

"Ian...Ian wow...Kun is not dead, he is not dead wow..."

Seeing the blond handsome guy coming in, the red skirt female knight flew directly into his arms, hugged his chest and cried even louder.

"..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know you are very happy...Okay, okay, don't cry, find a place to have a good rest, sleep, what if Kuhn escapes tomorrow, sees you crying so ugly, he will transfer his feelings to someone else..."

"He dares!?"

The red skirt female knight said angrily, but she really stopped crying, flicked her skirt to reveal two white calves, and ran away in a hurry.

"Huh..."

"Alas..."

The two men sighed at the same time.

After smiling at each other, Ian asked casually:

"Morton, I heard... you activated at least 6 powers? Can you tell me about it?"

"..."
