The City of Glory finally organized a decent attack. The remaining assassins were surrounded by the Glory Knights. Except for Byrne, the other assassins had retreated with the believers. wWW!QUAbEn-XIAoShUo!COm
Byrne counted carefully and found that five assassins were still alive, one of whom was seriously injured. The four assassins who were not injured wanted to end their lives with daggers, but were stopped by the magician, and a white light shrouded the assassins. Everyone on them stood still, as if their souls had been taken away.
The altar collapsed and the priest who presided over the ceremony was assassinated. This kind of thing has never happened since the establishment of Glory City.
The cardinal in charge of the City of Glory had a splitting headache. He went to the scene personally to take a look at the collapsed altar, and then issued an order: "Seal the square and no one is allowed to enter. The Knights of Glory are on full alert and the two people outside are on guard." The knights are also transferred back!"
"Yes, Lord Bishop, but..." the cardinals agreed, but they didn't understand why the entire square was blocked. This square has a history of thousands of years and attracts many believers to come for pilgrimage. If it is blocked, it will be even more detrimental to the City of Lights. "Do it!" The Cardinal scolded with a sullen face.
The collapsed altar was surrounded, and the Cardinal asked the Radiant Knight to completely seal the altar, and then walked to the edge and looked towards the center of the altar. There is a black hole so deep that no deer can be seen. The ninth-level magician's perception still cannot be explored to the end.
The City of Glory has a history of more than two thousand years and is one of the few religious cities that appeared during the Fourth Dynasty. This is where the Holy See was founded. If the cardinals had not followed the cardinal to the edge of the altar, they would not have been able to see the big hole in the ruins. All the cardinals had an idea in their minds - one after another!
They had spent their entire lives in this city and had never known such a place existed. This city is so ancient that the magicians during the Fourth Dynasty were far more powerful than they are now. remains! miracle!
The cardinal had thousands of thoughts running through his mind, but finally said: "Arrange people to go down, don't use slaves, lest..."
The cardinal did not continue. He hoped that there was a miracle below. It would be blasphemous to send slaves to explore it. If it is really a miracle, then the chance for the Cardinals to turn around is here. "My Lord Bishop, what should we do with these assassins?"
"Judgment, start the atonement process, I want these people to regret coming here." The cardinal did not thank these assassins for obtaining a mysterious cave. The cardinal killed by the assassins was his student. The anger in the Cardinal's heart was well hidden. He had not lost his temper in front of outsiders for decades. It is ridiculous and sad for a person who has lost his power to lose his temper.
The atonement procedure is a relatively severe form of trial, but the five assassins remained calm. When they entered the City of Glory, they knew they had only a 10% chance of escaping.
There are so many professionals among the believers that it is impossible for the blunt warriors to evacuate all of them. Now less than a third of them have been sacrificed, and the remaining people have been hidden among the believers, including Byrne.
When night fell, the trial was held at the Atlantis Cathedral south of the City of Glory. Five stone pillars were temporarily erected.
The five assassins were stripped naked, their hands and feet were pierced with chains, and they were tied to stone pillars. There is also a square in front of the Atlantis Cathedral, where almost two thousand believers from the City of Glory have gathered. "These believers want to see with their own eyes how these five hateful guys are judged.
The Cardinal was in a daze. The trial had not yet begun. He stood in front of the stone pillar and looked at the five bloody assassins. The hands and feet of these assassins were pierced by iron chains, and then they were treated by magicians with powerful magic. The iron chains were embedded in their flesh and blood. If they wanted to escape, they would have to endure great pain again.
To the assassin, these pains may be nothing, but meaningless escape will make people despair.
The Cardinal wanted to ask these five people what they were doing. Knowing that he was going to die, he came to the Glory City to assassinate him. They should have a purpose, but it looked like these five people and their accomplices were lunatics. Would people without faith also devote their lives in this way
Among the people waiting for trial, Byrne was also there. Not only was he there, but all the assassins who had escaped capture were there. Although the Holy See had many ways to search the city and continue to find the assassin's accomplices, the black hole that appeared under the altar made the Cardinal a little numb, or slack. As for the Glory City, this kind of thing has not happened in two thousand years, and the measures taken to deal with it are simply incomparable with the Holy City.
The cardinals also put their thoughts completely on the bottomless black hole. Without these strong men above level seven to screen them one by one, the assassins easily deceived the low-level magicians.
Byrne looked at the five people on the stone pillar with some heartache. This was just the beginning. What happened next would be the most tragic. "You will not die, and I will not ask you to admit any sins." The cardinal couldn't help but speak. He slowly said to the five assassins on the stone pillar: "The atonement process, to put it simply, is to You are purified and become believers of the gods. Every day of your life, you will repent for the things you have done in the past. Of course, this will be very painful, because your soul will not recognize this kind of thing.
The five assassins sneered at the Cardinal's words. They never thought about leaving alive, or even thought about ending like this.
"I have seen many stubborn people. The luckiest people have entered the tribunal, and the most unlucky people have become the red-clothed bodyguards of His Majesty the Pope. They obviously hate it extremely, but they use their own The body is used to atone and protect sins. The human soul can be cut into many parts, which can be completely opposite and conflict with each other. Have you ever thought about this kind of pain? An assassin finally couldn't help but said, "I have a piece of advice." . "Please say."
"The shape of your head is really messy, like old corn. Usually, in our countryside, we feed this kind of corn to pigs. When I see you, I think of pig food, which is rotten and smelly. Smell. That stench is very much like your perfume. So rub your forehead and change your perfume to make your words more convincing. The Cardinal smiled and said: "As an assassin, you are not vicious enough. Let me disappointment. The assassin deliberately made a ferocious smile and said, "I won't let you down."
"Ignorance, under the light of God, nothing is unchangeable. When the trial is over and you obediently explore the path for me, you will understand what I mean." After the cardinal said this, he felt good. He learned a lot, stopped talking nonsense with the assassin, and returned to the trial seat.
Byrne's expression changed. He clearly heard the conversation between the Cardinal and his men. He originally just wanted to send his men off, but now he had to change his focus. The plan still needs to go ahead.
In the small square of Atlanta Cathedral, more than a hundred light beams were shot into the sky from the divine runes on the ground, forming a dome in the sky. The entire square was enveloped in the light of divine magic.
Only the five stone pillars were dark, as if they were swallowing up the light. The assassin on the stone pillar prayed silently in his heart. They also have faith, and the assassin's faith is to complete their mission.
If they had not become assassins, they would have lived a mediocre life, and their children would not have been raised by the royal family, nor would they have the opportunity to enter the aristocratic upper class society.
Everything changed because of a word from Emperor Chanak. Their mission gave their children unlimited opportunities. Even after the death of Emperor Chanak, these orders were still being carried out. These children never knew they had a father who trusted his life to the Glycos family. It was a fair and cruel transaction, and these assassins have no regrets to this day.
On the trial bench, the cardinal was flanked by cardinals, but the person in charge of the trial was a first-level priest. The first-level priest walked to the opposite side of the stone pillar. He was about to speak when he suddenly discovered that each of the five assassins on the stone pillar had distorted faces, from the head and face to the neck, to the chest, lower abdomen, thighs, and all the naked skin. On the upper part of the body, purple-red blood vessels bulge.
The ears of the five assassins swelled, or rather they seemed to be stretched out, becoming extremely laborious. In their eyes, the brown-black pupils rotated rapidly, and the bones made a crackling sound, as if a magic potion was burning and exploding inside.
Before the collapse of the Fourth Dynasty, the occupational system on the continent of Mels was very complex. At its peak, there were almost more than 20,000 occupations. As human power weakens, professionals become strong men who are different from ordinary people. After learning swordsmanship, even if you only have the slightest sword spirit, you can be called a junior swordsman.
Nowadays, these professions have basically disappeared because of the decline of human power. Only a few skills are still spread in ancient books and studied and explored by magicians. These five assassins used an ancient skill - summoning possession.
Summoning powerful creatures from an alien plane and integrating them into his body, the key to stimulating this skill is Byrne. Deep in the souls of these assassins, there is a mysterious connection with Byrne. They can use their skills as long as Byrne allows them. The skills provided by the Glycos Royal Family are short-lived, powerful, bloody, and terrifying.
The pupils of the five assassins rotated rapidly. When the white-robed magician sensed danger, the pupils of the five assassins shattered at the same time. Their bodies were split from the middle one after another. Inside the body, there were unknown planes. The creatures are forcibly merging the assassins' bodies.
With a click, the chain that passed through the first assassin's arm was torn off. His body had turned dark green, his skin cracked and fell off to the ground, and his muscles had swelled to a terrifying degree. He turned around, hugged the stone pillar, and shook it hard. The one-meter-diameter stone pillar made a bang sound, and was held in his arms.
Byrne sighed deeply in his heart. The five men finally completed their mission. The last assassination was a sad curtain call. D! ~!
