The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 87: Rat Tide and Pillar of Fire

Views:

A series of hair-raising noises came from the corner below, which made people think of some bad things.

The high-frequency, repetitive and monotonous grinding sound is like the sound made by rodents when gnawing on bones, and the noise is very dense; but if you listen carefully, you can also hear the crackling sound of metal rubbing against metal.

Two noises that are both physically disgusting appeared at the same time. Some team members could not help but cover their ears, and Joe Butran also got goose bumps all over his body.

A very depressing atmosphere quietly spread. If Pippi were a cat, he would have been furious by now.

"Boom!"

Arnold tapped the bricks on the ground with his cane, and the low sound broke through the noise.

Now the noise can only be described as harsh, which is far from its original negative effect.

Jobtran gave Arnold a look of gratitude. He was not yet able to achieve such an effect with his gestures like Arnold without the assistance of spell materials and rituals. If Arnold was not there, it would take a lot of effort to reduce the impact of the annoying noise.

Jobtran carefully picked up the still burning torch from the corner, and the torch splashed a few sparks on the ground.

The man-faced rat hiding in the darkness slipped away in a panic as if it was afraid of sparks from a torch.

The crowd walked along the corridor until they reached the large door at the bottom of the corridor, which was filled with tattered clergymen's and priests' robes.

The cross, Holy Light Scripture and other personal belongings had been completely destroyed, and the Holy Light Scriptures that had been torn into pieces were scattered on the ground. After losing the blessing of the holders, those were just ordinary products. After all, they were not saints and could not give the items a long-term blessing effect.

"Hey, Mark, you just wouldn't come later." Arnold said as he picked up a piece of cloth with gold edges.

Although Arnold withdrew from the Order of the Wild, he still maintained contact with the priests within the Order; after all, Arnold's character and piety were obvious to everyone, and he did not betray the Holy Light, so he was not treated as an apostate.

From the outset, Arnold advised Father Mark not to move in before the church was renovated.

If the pastors and priests wait for the church to be completely repaired, an automatic layer of protection will be formed inside the church, which can drive away evil beings. Unless facing demon-level beings, intrusion can generally be avoided.

More importantly, the holy relic had not yet been delivered here, but the stubborn Mark thought it was necessary to open it to believers in advance in order to promote the reputation of the Holy Light and spread its gospel.

Enzinger, the great architect who originally designed Minster Cathedral, once made an incredible warning in his manuscript, which was not to move in too early, otherwise it would bring disaster.

Arnold once looked up the original design in the investigation bureau, and discovered the great designer Ensinger in some auxiliary materials, who might be hiding a mysterious identity.

After careful consideration, Arnold felt that moving in early was not a good thing. According to the description of Ensinger in the literature, he was a wise man.

In addition to being a great designer, some people even believe that Ensinger is a wizard who knows divination, because he can always remind people around him to avoid unfortunate things.

Arnold could not report this discovery directly to the Ye Su Hui, so he secretly reminded his good friend Mark and the abdicated Elder Obel through a suggestion.

The priests in the Noble Order ignored this suggestion. They believed that it was impossible for such a bizarre thing to happen. They firmly believed that apart from the Holy Light and the Son of God, as well as the servants of the Holy Light - the angels, no one could have predicted this.

Upon hearing this, the Pope of the Congregation of the Holy Light in Vendigo, Italy, took the rare initiative to propose to transfer a holy relic from its headquarters to Umwelminster Cathedral as a permanent holy relic.

Surprisingly, the value of that holy relic can be said to be a treasure in the church because it is stained with the holy blood of the Son of God Yeshu.

This action made Arnold look at the Pope with admiration. He understood that a leader at the Pope's level should not be as simple as the middle and lower level leaders who only knew how to praise the Holy Light, and there should be a shocking secret behind Minster Cathedral.

Arnold felt that he had to come here and see it for himself, so he came here after completing the previous investigation mission.

"Holy Light is not the only god in the world, Mark. Well, I wish you can go to heaven." Arnold held the remaining pieces of clothing of his friend and said goodbye in his heart.

At this time, Pippi was barking at the dilapidated warehouse door.

Pippi felt a strong murderous intent, but Arnold actually noticed these human-faced rats born from the Yellow Cloth Secret Art when he stepped into the church.

From the hole that was chewed out under the warehouse door, a group of human-faced rats crawled out one after another.

Pastor Gao Sen was commanding the rats from behind to charge at the security guards. They sensed a disgusting smell from Arnold: the smell of the ancient gods.

"Free fire!" Jobtran shouted immediately upon seeing this.

Facing this swarm of black rats, you can hit them with any shot.

The holy flames bloomed like fireworks in the black waves, but were swallowed up by the waves in an instant.

The human-faced rat that was shot was trampled by the human-faced rats that came later, and was reduced to a mess.

The defects of the flintlock pistol were undoubtedly exposed at this time. Every time after shooting, it had to be reloaded before the second shot could be fired. If this situation happened, the flintlock pistol would become a fire stick after firing.

The rats fearlessly charged towards the security guards. Even if some of the human-faced rats were shot, the others would follow.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Jobtron shouted, "Back off, back off!"

He had actually fought close combat with the human-faced rats. If these beasts got closer, the security team members would not be able to handle it.

At this time, Arnold took two steps forward and protected everyone behind him.

"Hey, let me do it."

After Arnold finished speaking, he waved his cane and sketched some patterns on the ground that Jobtran had never seen before.

It was an abstract pillar of fire. Although it was drawn temporarily, one could still feel a sense of oppression from it.

Arnold chanted a strange spell in an ancient language that no one present could understand. The spell sounded with a strange rhythm, making it difficult to remember the specific pronunciation.

"Ancient shining fire, grant me the power to burn away the evil before me.

Ancient burning fire, grant me warmth to burn the evil before me. "
