The blood-red lake surged and formed a huge vortex, the sound was like thunder, rolling endlessly, the center of the blood lake turned into a funnel shape, and the small island and the church on the island before it must have been caused by this big vortex. devoured. Such a majestic and terrifying sight made Lily's hair stand on end. The bitch let out a whimper subconsciously in her throat, and turned her head to get behind Hao Ren: "It's leaking... the bottom of the lake is leaking!"
Ofra stared dumbfounded at the scene in the middle of the lake, and muttered to herself: "Is this... the goddess' anger rekindled?"
She was like this, and the elite knights who followed were even more shocked. The Glory Sect is the state religion of Holletta, and the soldiers in its army are basically believers, and those who can be sent to the Beinz area to perform tasks are even more shocked. It was the most determined group among them. These soldiers were all at a loss when they saw this kind of terrifying change that only appeared in fairy tales in the Ten Thousand Years Holy Land. If it weren't for the strict training and Ophra's aura It's a town here, and I'm afraid it's already in chaos.
The strong old man who has been with Ophra stared at the lake for a while, and his momentum slowly began to change: "The holy land has changed drastically, the lake has swallowed the sanctuary, there may be things that were suppressed in ancient times running out, be vigilant, and be ready at any time. Fierce battle." As soon as the words fell, the old man's figure had completely changed, his already strong figure appeared even stronger, his muscles bulged, his hair and beard elongated and hardened like wolf hair, a pair of dark black Wolf ears popped out of nowhere, and then he twisted his body and pulled out behind him, revealing a wolf tail. Ofra looked at the old man: "Can't you wear low-slung trousers and a wide-swing top that match your racial habits?"
The old man fiddled with the clothes near the tail awkwardly: "Don't talk, it will affect my momentum."
Hao Ren: "..."
It was only at this time that Lili came to her senses, jumping up and down in surprise: "Ah! Same... same... compatriots! So you are also a werewolf!"
"I just saw a werewolf, is it so strange?" The old man glanced at Lily, "Although there are not many werewolves in Holleta, they should not reach the rare level. But you, little girl, I pay attention You've been there for a long time, and you still haven't figured out which branch you belong to."
Lily swung her tail vigorously, throwing a tornado in the rain: "I am a northern werewolf! The northern breed. The kind that pulls sleds~~~"
Both Ophra and the old man were at a loss when they heard this, and Hao Ren hurriedly smoothed things over: "Don't care about the details. Don't care about the details. She doesn't even know where she is, and she was adopted by humans since she was a child. Let's go talk to those Let the escaped church personnel gather."
Under the leadership of the old werewolf, everyone was alert and ready to encounter monsters at any time, and then marched towards a beam of light along the lakeside beach: that beam of light was the alarm beam seen in the town before. The church knights and high-ranking priests who evacuated from the island in the middle of the lake have already found a place to camp by the lake, waiting for support. But they didn't expect that the first to arrive was not the church knights led by Gordon, but the kingdom knights led by Ovra.
Hao Ren saw a large-scale magic barrier by the lake, and a large group of people were sheltering from the rainstorm inside the barrier. Temporary rune stones and excitation devices were set up on the edge of the barrier. Some priests in black robes are maintaining this shield, and inside the barrier are hundreds of church knights and monks of all ranks in a panic. Many of these people sat directly on the ground without any image, some of the wounded were receiving medical treatment, and soldiers with nervous expressions were whispering everywhere, discussing the meaning behind the disaster, and the high-ranking monks in white robes They walked up and down among this group of "refugees", soothing people's hearts and stabilizing the atmosphere.
Ofra arrives with the Knights. There was a commotion among the people inside the barrier, and several high-ranking monks who appeared to be leaders came out of the crowd, and Ophra led Hao Ren and the others directly towards these people: "I am Ophra, Marshal of the Kingdom. .How's the situation here?"
"We thought the vicar would bring someone here..." A tall and thin monk in white robes was slightly taken aback, but he didn't bother with religious divisions in this case. He pointed to the crowd behind him, "As you can see, people have basically withdrawn, but the precious holy objects and ancient books in the sanctuary have been swallowed by the vortex."
Hao Ren also noticed that most of the people hiding in this barrier were empty-handed, and only a few supplies were piled up in the central open space. It seemed that the maelstrom appeared quite suddenly at that time, and everyone didn't realize what was going on. Church and the island were swallowed up.
"The Vicar of Girton is leading people here, but my knights are good at marching fast, and they are faster than them." Ofra nodded, "How did the vortex appear? What were the signs before? What happened afterward? "
"Appeared suddenly. There was no warning," the tall and thin monk still had lingering fears when he recalled that scene, "just a few minutes before the vortex appeared, we heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the water, as if a giant beast was swallowing water. There was a movement, followed by a very strong earthquake, the entire island in the center of the lake began to tilt, and then a vortex suddenly appeared. Fortunately, the sanctuary guards are the best of the best, and their devout faith has brought us divine protection, allowing us to Walked over the lake and ran out."
There were no visions from heaven, no monsters, and no miracles—even ominous miracles did not appear, which puzzled the staunch believers at the scene. However, Hao Ren suddenly had a thought in his heart. He popped out uncontrollably: Could it be his fault
He could remember how much noise he and those little green men had made at the bottom of the lake!
"Captain Hao Ren, what did you find out?" Ophra noticed the change in Hao Ren's breath, and turned her head to ask in doubt. She knew that this "mercenary group" was weird everywhere, and thought that some of the clues they found last night were related to today's vision.
Hao Ren shook his head vigorously: "It's all right, I'm just distracted every day. What do you think, Your Excellency Marshal?"
"We must go to the maelstrom to confirm it with our own eyes," Ofra said without hesitation. "It may be dangerous. You can wait on the shore."
Hao Ren wanted to find a quiet place to watch, but he knew he had to go and see it with his own eyes when he thought about the toss he had made at the bottom of the lake, but he couldn't help muttering when he saw the surging lake water in the distance: " How did this get over? The whole island was swept down."
The vortex was at least one kilometer wide. It was huge and terrifying. The depression in the center of the vortex was as terrifying as the endless abyss that swallowed everything. Hao Ren felt dizzy when he saw it. He really couldn't think of a way to go there safely to investigate Find out. Among my group of people, only Vivienne can fly, Y'zaks is powerful in combat but his water skills are mediocre, Lily's greatest skill is dog planing, let alone Becky. You can't make an aircraft carrier here either—and looking at the scale of the vortex, I'm afraid the aircraft carrier will come for nothing.
"I wish May was here." He couldn't help muttering, and Ofra was a little curious: "Is it the girl who went to the mountains? What's so special about her?"
"Water magician," Hao Ren pointed at the lake, "Even if she can't lead people into the maelstrom, at least she won't be drowned if she goes in by herself."
"Water magicians, I have them here." Ofra was not worried about this. She pointed to the soldiers behind her, some of whom were mages wearing mage robes. "They should be able to bring a few people to safety." Arrived near the whirlpool. But we'd better wait for the rector of Girton, this is the holy lake after all."
A group of people took a temporary rest in this lakeside refuge. Among the elite brought by Ovra, there were special enchantment mages. Expanding the magic barrier of the lakeside refuge would be enough to accommodate everyone. With this layer of barrier blocking the wind and rain outside, Hao Ren felt an unspeakable sense of peace of mind: the weather outside with strong winds and heavy rain is really disturbing.
Lily started running around the entire camp to find friends, and when she saw someone who was taller, she went up and asked them excitedly: "Hey, are you a werewolf? Are you a werewolf? Are you a werewolf, sister? Are you a werewolf, brother?" Are werewolves..."
This is her usual madness, and she will be so excited for a while every time she sees her compatriots in this world, and thanks to this careless husky who stirs up the atmosphere, there are more people in the gloomy refuge some angry.
And Vivian dragged Hao Ren to find a secluded place while the people around were not paying attention: "Landlord, do you think that whirlpool will..."
Hao Ren looked bitter: "Don't mention it, the data terminal scanned it just now, and there is a big hole under the vortex, and the lake water is directly poured into it—it's where we were working before!" (To be continued~^~)
