While Du Yuqi had made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, the Holy Church also delivered the golden sacrament. This thing is about a palm-sized box, surrounded by a layer of transparent plastic, containing a silver plate, with a small silver statue of an angel standing upright on the edge of the plate, which looks like a handle. In the center of the plate is the refined golden sacrament, about the size of a quail egg, with a soft light shining on it. Regardless of the taste, the appearance is very good.
After resting for about an hour, Du Yuqi was invited by Wu Nian, and was led to walk a lot of winding roads in the church, almost dizzy, and finally came to a place In the underground meeting room, there are more than a dozen silver angel candlesticks, with tallow candles on them, burning blazingly, illuminating the meeting room very brightly.
At this time, there were already about twenty people sitting in the conference room. Lin and FIRE, whom Du Yuqi knew, were all present, and their expressions seemed to be a little serious. After waiting for a few minutes, the red clothes flashed at the door, and Archbishop Richelieu had already arrived. He walked in quickly, saluted everyone slightly, then sat down beside him, and raised his chin to a priest next to him as a gesture.
Seeing this, Du Yuqi's heart sank immediately. The situation seemed to be a little bit wrong. If a top person like Richelieu came to the scene in person, it could only show that the situation had deteriorated to a worse level than he had imagined! Although he knew that the reward from the Holy Church was not easy to get, he didn't expect the difficulty factor to be so high!
At this time, I heard the priest say slowly:
"I don't want to hide from everyone that the Minsk Holy Church is now in a very dangerous situation. The reason behind this must have been known to many people here. It is because the sacred barrier that protects us is currently fading."
"And why did our sacred barrier fade? After a series of investigations, it was discovered that a traitor had infiltrated the temple and entered the restricted area stipulated by the law. He was actually carrying a powerful evil spirit." The ancient abyss invitation letter opened the abyss party in the depths of the sanctuary! Our request to everyone is to clean up these evils and purify the filth below the sanctuary, and then the barrier will automatically recover."
Suddenly someone asked:
"Isn't purification the best thing for paladins? Now that the enemy is not attacking, you can easily send dozens of paladins to do this. Why do we have to spend a lot of money to do it?" What about it? Is the level of danger below far beyond your assessment?"
The priest shook his head and said:
"That's not the case. The enemy came here premeditatedly and made preparations, so when we realized something was wrong, the abyss party had already been carried out to a very perfect level, so in fact, the depths of the temple were already at this time. It presents a semi-split independent space state. In this case, it is impossible to send too many people, otherwise it will accelerate the degree of space split and completely cause the sacred barrier to fail. According to the current evaluation, At most, only a dozen or so people can be sent in, and anything can happen inside."
"So, when the number of people is limited and you don't know much about the specific situation, the best composition of the entering team should be based on professional diversification. In this way, no matter what the situation is, there will be no Unable to adapt and feel helpless, so the entire team entering must obtain the most optimal configuration. Everyone here is a strong person selected by us. They all have extraordinary achievements in their own fields and should be able to complete this time. Task."
At this time, another person said loudly:
"Since the abyss party that appeared is directly under the church, you should have a considerable understanding of it? So we need relevant information, the more detailed the better, is it interesting to hide it now?"
Hearing this person's questioning, the priest also seemed to be troubled, and hesitated for a while before saying:
"We will definitely not stay out of the abyss party this time, so we will still host the matter with the Holy Church. At that time, the team will be led by four paladins. They will know all kinds of information and intelligence. If you have any questions, just ask them. "
Obviously, such an answer is of course unsatisfactory, and even Du Yuqi shook his head slightly—just kidding, needless to say, the changes in the depths of the temple must be extremely dangerous. The help of the information should also be great. Maybe it can determine a person's life or death. The priest wants to send them away with such a light sentence. How is this possible
Seeing that the surroundings are already raging, and if you don't give a specific explanation for a while, all previous efforts will be wasted. Archbishop Lisalius can only sigh, stand up, and press his hands emptyly:
"In fact, this matter is not that we deliberately conceal it, but it is related to the reputation of the Holy Church. We understand everyone's concerns, so if you want to know the details, you must swear a heavy oath not to disclose it. "
After the archbishop finished speaking, a hoarse voice immediately said:
"I'm willing to swear, but you must also send me the complete information. Fighting in a situation where everything is unclear, even if you die, you will not be reconciled."
Du Yuqi seemed a little unfamiliar to the voice, but when she looked back, she realized that it was Lin's friend FIRE, whose Dongfang name was Hai Long. As soon as he took the lead, the rest of the people immediately expressed their opinions, obviously agreeing with what he said, and then said Started to swear in a hurry.
After hearing this, Archbishop Lisarius nodded slightly, then turned and walked out, followed by the priest and others, and then a group of ascetic monks filed in and distributed the materials one by one to everyone. , Du Yuqi also got a copy.
This piece of information is a small book, and its name is four characters, called "The Bottom of the Temple".
The source of faith in the church is the holy light, but the holy light is an illusory existence after all, so when it was first established, the bones and relics of the saints in the church were enshrined and buried, and then built on it altar of sacrifice.
Such a tangible existence is more conducive to the gathering of believers and the development of the sect, so it has been vigorously promoted, and even the church will acquiesce and even promote this kind of worship of the sacred bone.
However, things gradually changed. Believers also had their own ideas. They began to feel that the surroundings of the holy bones could also achieve the effect of protecting ordinary souls. Therefore, believers with conditions wanted to bury themselves or their relatives together. around the altar.
It is not surprising that believers have such an idea, because even on the earth, the grass outside Western churches and the surroundings of Eastern Buddhist temples are recognized as the best burial areas. If you don't have a very strong relationship or pay a high price, then don't even think about having a place there.
Under this concept, the Minsk Church also suffers from such troubles, and it is built in the middle of the city. If you want to get as many offerings and donations as possible from believers, then it means satisfying the wishes of believers , Therefore, the whole, under the Minsk Church, is an extremely huge cemetery. Over hundreds of years, more than 300,000 people have been buried below to rest in peace!
There is a saying that where there is light, there must be shadows, and light and darkness are always attached to each other, and the two can never exist alone, so in fact, under the Minsk Cathedral, there is also Undead creatures such as ghosts and resentful spirits often appear, but they only appear sporadically, and are quickly purified by the priests.
However, the traitor seemed to have planned it for a long time, so he sneaked into the cemetery below and opened the abyss party. Under the influence of the abyss party, a terrifying mutation appeared in the cemetery, almost turning into a ghost land !
At the same time, in the deepest part of the cemetery, there is a sealed door. It is the terrifying aura that is constantly emanating from this sealed door that is constantly weakening the sacred barrier. Once this sealed door is completely opened, it will There will be a large number of terrifying monsters, and even the entire Shatley City may be destroyed at that time.
This is not alarmist talk. Tragic incidents in which the Sealed Gate went out of control and swallowed up a small town happened frequently, and it happened many times in history.
Therefore, the mission of this group of them is very arduous, not only to purify and kill the resurrected undead creatures in the cemetery one by one, but also to destroy and close the sealed door. At the same time, the time for the sealed door to be completely opened is about It's just that there are five or six hours left, and the time is quite tight.
And there are also extremely powerful awakened people sitting in the Minsk Holy Church, why don't they send out awakened people
It is because the Sealed Gate has passed its initial infancy at this time, and its spiritual tentacles have spread all over the surroundings. It can not only continuously absorb the surrounding Yin Qi to grow, but also sense the movement in the entire tomb. .
Therefore, for the Sealed Gate, which already has an early warning awareness, once the awakened person enters the giant cemetery at the bottom of the temple, he will immediately sense his arrival. In the face of such an enemy who has no chance of winning When the time comes, the Sealed Gate will immediately take emergency measures, recklessly breaking out in an all-round way, completely eroding the situation.
Obviously, such an outburst is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Holy Church, because in this case, the insider will be fine, and the uninformed will spread the word everywhere, saying that there is an explosion under the Minsk Holy Church. A large number of undead creatures and monsters appeared. It turned out that they were upright on the surface, but they were actually filthy!
In fact, if this cemetery where more than 300,000 people were buried was moved to other places without the guard of the Minsk Church, the number of undead creatures produced over the past few hundred years would be hundreds or thousands of times, but Rumors are often spread, and if a thousand people utter a false statement, it may become true. Therefore, the Holy Church simply cannot afford such a crisis of prestige.
However, for the Sealed Gate, fresh flesh with powerful power is also the most nourishing food for it, there is no one. Therefore, it does not actually exclude outsiders from entering its territory, provided that the strength of these incoming enemies is below the critical point of its acquiescence.
Therefore, under such circumstances, there is an obvious ceiling in the strength of the fighters who enter the bottom of the sanctuary. If they exceed this ceiling, they will hit their heads, and they can only be passed directly.
However, it has been repeatedly determined in the holy hall that this ceiling should be the base of Tier 4 strength, and the total number of people sent in at the same time cannot exceed fifteen people. At the same time, with the growth of the sealed door itself, its critical point is also constantly Ascension, it is very likely that after another three hours, fighters above the fourth rank will be allowed to enter, but that kind of time is too rushed.
At the same time, this "Bottom of the Temple" seems to have been written a long time ago. It not only draws out the topographic map of the giant cemetery under the Minsk Cathedral in detail, but also even The information about some undead monsters that may appear in it is also clearly written, only the description about the sealed door is newly added.
Du Yuqi immediately understood when she saw this, even if there was no such thing as the Sealed Door incident, the ascetic monks were often sent to clean up the cemetery in the temple, and this "Under the Altar" pamphlet should be distributed to the ascetic monks We have used it, so the credibility of the above information is very high.
After carefully reading the booklet again, he beckoned to the ascetic monk next to him and asked him to take him to the previous priest, saying that he had something very important to talk to him about.
Du Yuqi's request was quickly satisfied, and the priest quickly came forward to meet him alone, and politely asked Du Yuqi what request he had.
Du Yuqi said solemnly:
"It's like this. The task of going to the cemetery this time is very difficult. A few of my friends seem to be more in line with your requirements. With their participation, the chance of successfully completing the task can be increased by at least several percentage points. Can you, sir? Recommend it to the higher ups?"
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, the priest shook his head and refused without hesitation:
"no."
Du Yuqi sighed. He is a person who is good at observing words and sentiments. The priest directly rejected his proposal without hesitation. This is enough to show that the success rate is very small, but Du Yuqi still said unwillingly:
"Why?"
The priest hesitated for a moment, then said simply:
"If it's someone else, I'll just tell him that it's not okay, but you have already proved your loyalty to the Holy Church, so I will tell you that we have also considered all the friends you recommended, but all of them Failed to pass the primary election, because the influence of this matter is too great, so big that if it is leaked, it will affect the foundation of the church... "
