This aura is deadly

It was a bit hard to find the way by himself. Chen Ke wandered on the street, wanting to see if he could meet Van Heder's soldiers and ask him how to get to the church.

But his luck was not good. After wandering around the intricate streets of the town for a long time, he did not see his own soldiers, but he hacked many swordsmen of the Sun Order to death.

These soldiers have skills such as thunder guns, and some captains can attach thunder and lightning to their swords, which is far more powerful than ordinary Van Heder soldiers.

Even if he is wearing the armor of the Mithril Knight, which has 70% lightning resistance, he will feel numb after taking a hit. It can be seen that the armor without lightning resistance has no way to deal with this kind of move. This is why the Sun Cult can kill all the way. Because of going into town.

After killing at least twenty swordsmen, none of their weapons or equipment exploded, and there was no way to pick them up from the ground. Chen Ke didn't know if this was normal. Perhaps, only by dealing with alienated individuals or monsters could the sacred objects be exploded. , living people are not acceptable.

Daybreak is coming, and the fires in the city are gradually extinguishing. Some of Van Heder's buildings are wooden structures, but most of them are made of diamonds, so they will not burn. In addition, the soldiers and knights in the city suppressed the opponent. There was an opportunity for arson, so the fire was quickly brought under control.

By coincidence, at this moment, he suddenly saw a limping civilian running out of a building whose roof was burned black. He was lucky enough to be able to hide safely all night.

So he called to him and walked over.

"Hello!"

Hearing Chen Ke's cry, the man looked at Chen Ke in panic. When he saw that he was a soldier of his own side, his panicked expression calmed down.

"Hello... Knight, what a disastrous night! Isn't it?" The man had a big beard, looked to be in his 50s, wore a brown robe, and looked like a wealthy person.

"Yes, Black Ring Yongsheng! Friend! Why don't you go to the Acropolis to take refuge?" Chen Ke pretended.

"Go right now, go right now, can you give me a lift? The streets are not peaceful!" the civilian begged.

"I'm sorry, citizen! I have a mission... Moreover, the enemy forces in the city have been almost wiped out. If you avoid the main road, there should be no danger!" Chen Ke shook his head and said seriously.

"Ah... that's such a pity, knight, I'll leave first!" The man lamented, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! Wait!" Chen Ke shouted quickly.

"Have you changed your mind?!" The man turned his head and said happily.

"No, no, no... I just want to ask you something! It's very important! You must answer me." Chen Ke said.

"Okay... okay... Knight, what do you want to ask?" the civilian asked.

Chen Ke leaned slightly and asked cautiously: "Do you know... how to get to the cathedral from here?"

The civilian opened his eyes with a look of disgust on his face, and was speechless for a moment.

"Knight! Are you a stranger?" the civilian asked doubtfully.

"Answer quickly! Citizen! Don't challenge my patience!" Chen Ke said dissatisfied, pressing his right hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Oh! Okay...go forward along this road, turn left at the end, walk through the cemetery, and you can go to the parish." The civilian said while pointing the way, and following the direction he indicated, Chen Ke I saw that it was close to the outer city wall.

"That's not right! The church is obviously on the mountain wall!" Chen Ke said angrily and knocked on the civilian's forehead.

"Ouch! Oh my god!" The civilian cried out in pain.

"I don't want to go to the parish, I want to go to the cathedral above! Tell me the way!" Chen Ke put his hands on his waist and tapped his feet impatiently, his mithril greaves making a clanking sound.

The commoner squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth, and rubbed his forehead with his right hand to remove the dirt, and said: "If you want to go up to the cathedral, you must first pass through the parish purification road, hiss..."

Chen Ke looked at the city wall in the distance, squinted his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Can I leave?!" the civilian asked.

"Before you leave, you must tell me how to find the way to purification." Chen Kedao.

"Well... you will see the chapel when you get there. Go into the chapel and go to the deepest part. Behind it is the purification path only for priests. It is a stone tunnel. I have never been in it, but it is the way to go. The only way to go to the church," the commoner said helplessly.

"Okay, let's go, you go, don't look back." Chen Ke waved his hand and let the civilian go.

He walked towards the parish chapel. When he reached the cemetery, the sky was slightly bright, and he estimated that the time should be between 4 and 5 in the morning.

Van Hede's cemetery is not very large, so every inch of land is precious, and many people have to be buried in one pit. Therefore, in Van Hede's cemetery, the tombstones are piled up in piles, as if they were made of stones. Like shit.

Although this place is close to the outer city wall, because of the tricky angle, it appears to be extremely clean. Even the iron balls and oil barrels thrown into the city by catapults did not fall here.

The parish is surrounded by vast lawns, and a low, movable rectangular building is built against the mountain. This building has only one floor. In the square in front of the gate, there stands a stone statue of the goddess with her face covered.

This was the third time Chen Ke had seen this kind of statue, and it also made him more and more curious about Van Heder's pantheon. Unfortunately, Giles' knowledge was passively triggered and he couldn't read it independently. Otherwise, Chen Ke would know more about it. Many things.

A chapel is a place of collective prayer open to civilians. In the Middle Ages, churches also served as clinics. Many minor illnesses were solved by priests praying and pouring holy water, while serious illnesses and incurable diseases could only be treated by lying in there. Waiting to die.

Sometimes priests would resort to euthanasia in order to prevent the ultimate patient from suffering from the disease. The specific method of operation was to aim a mallet at the patient's head and take him away with one shot.

It is cruel and very realistic. There was no such thing as medical treatment in the Middle Ages. Serious illnesses were often called possessed by demons, while minor illnesses that healed on their own were called God's favor.

In fact, 90% of the causes of diseases in the Middle Ages were caused by uncleanness. At that time, people did not take baths, and the dirtier they were, the more glorious they were...

However, Van Heder's era should be different from the traditional Middle Ages, and in this time and space, it is impossible to say that there really is a god.

Chen Ke saw God in the 2006 timeline, although he didn't take it seriously until now. After all, the invisible god is completely different from the god in Chen Ke's imagination.

The several hundred meters surrounding the chapel was like a pure land on earth in the midst of this civil war. All the soldiers seemed to ignore or deliberately avoid this place.

Chen Ke's armor clanked, breaking the silence here. He stepped on the crisp grass and passed through the thin mist in the morning, straight to the door of the chapel.

There was no one in the chapel, and no humanoid objects could be sensed through spiritual vision, but a river of red blood flowed from under the door.

Chen Ke put his sword in his waist and took out his M1911A1. In a place like this, it felt safer to hold a gun.

However, Chen Ke suddenly discovered that the fingers of the knight's armor glove were a bit thick. After the index finger was inserted into the trigger ring, it was difficult to pull the trigger naturally. In fact, even if the index finger was barely inserted, the gun was already close to firing. .

Chen Ke sighed and could only put the gun back and draw the sword out again.

He protected his body with a shield and gently opened the door. A fishy smell accompanied by hot wind blew in his face. The white light of the morning sun penetrated into the hall of the chapel. What he saw in front of him moved Chen Ke.

I saw a large pile of corpses of priests piled up all over the hall. If I counted them carefully, there were hundreds of them! Their green robes were all dyed red, some had their heads missing, some were nailed to the table with swords, and some were leaning against the wall.

The corpses lying on the ground formed a pile of corpses. Some of the candlesticks in their hands were still stained with blue flames. Some people were decapitated, and their heads were blown by the cold wind outside the door and rolled inside.

Judging from the dryness of the blood, they should have been killed last night. Chen Ke guessed that it was Faralis who killed them.

Stepping over these corpses and going around the path reserved on both sides of the pedestal enshrining the goddess statue to the back, you can see a double wooden door, one side of which has fallen to the ground, and there is a corpse next to it.

Behind the door is a stone tunnel, which should be the road to purification that the civilian said. There are blue candlesticks on both sides of this tunnel, and blood flows from the top of the tunnel.

Without saying a word, Chen Ke followed the blood stains into the tunnel and walked all the way towards the cathedral in this time and space.
