Chapter 2655: city of light

The flame has been extinguished.
The people of Erathia were surprised to find that night and winter had invaded the Holy Kingdom. The sky darkened, and it seemed that there would never be a moment to light up.
The sharply colder climate forced the Erathians to put on the heavy winter coats they wore, the knights' armor was as cold as iron, and the fireplace in the house was empty and damp. People didn't know what was going on, but this world The most basic rules have quietly changed.
Even demons are reluctant to operate in such a strange climate, and the demonic invasion of Sieracia has stopped, but there are still a few extremely hungry demons wandering around.
Taking advantage of this hard-won truce, Queen Catherine ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, while looking for ways to light up the darkness and warm it up.
The warriors of Erathia are not used to fighting in the dark. Instead, the demons and the undead have become stronger and stronger through the shelter of darkness.
Although magic has the ability to dispel the darkness, it cannot last for long. Except for the Erathian royal family, there is no luxury in other places that can allow a group of spellcasters to do nothing and maintain light magic at all times.
The Queen's orders spread throughout the kingdom, and the priest Ronis embarks on a journey to find the light.
Ronis was a former Bracada mage, but he renounced his Bracada identity in favor of the Holy Kingdom long before Bracada first suffered a barbarian rebellion.
Ronis's strength is strong, but after joining the monastery of Erathia, his faith is not enough. He is still a priest so far. If he wants to be promoted to a priest, he must either show his devout faith or make outstanding achievements.
The advent of darkness may be an opportunity for Ronis to wait for a long time. He heard that a certain town in the southern part of Erathia was not affected by the darkness.
Southern Erathia is close to the Mage Empire, and Ronis speculates that it may be the Mage who fled from Bracada who provided a way to dispel the darkness. If he can bring back that method, he might be rewarded for becoming a high priest instead.
"City of Light..."
Thinking of the name of that town, Ronis couldn't help frowning slightly. Is this a coincidence? That city was originally called this name? Or was it just changed recently?
No matter what, Ronis has to go and find out, the answer he needs is in that city.
Approaching the town, the dark night sky was dispelled by light, and from a distance, the city of light was shining brightly. This discovery also made Ronis happy.
"I am here on the orders of Queen Catherine, seeking a way to dispel the darkness for a long time."
On entering the city, Ronis replied to the guard's questioning.
The guards looked at each other and felt the huge mana fluctuations in Ronis' body. Then the captain of the guards took him to a square, which was also the most dazzling place in the city.
Ronis stepped into the square, where a large number of people had gathered. They were low in strength, kneeling on the ground, praying to a huge statue, and the statue was radiating dazzling light.
"what is that?"
Ronis was stunned for a moment, but in front of the kneeling crowd, a priestess was opening her hands, Kang said enthusiastically: "The world has fallen into darkness, the most terrifying end has come, in this catastrophe that no one can escape. Only a hero of light can save us, and he will return from the boundless darkness to bring light to the world."
Following the guidance of the priestess, people knelt down and saluted, and the praises in their mouths were endless. In front of everyone, the huge glowing statue stood still, and in the shroud of light, it looked more and more magnificent.
"Heroes of Light? This is not the teaching of the Holy See at all, here is a group of pagans..." Ronis, who had studied the relevant knowledge, immediately realized that something was wrong. The gathering in this city turned out to be a group of pagans. No wonder the defense outside the city was so strict .
Ronis looked at the people who were kneeling. Most of them were deceived, and their essence was still good. The one who should be punished was the pagan leader who tampered with the teachings, that is, the priestess.
As Ronis looked at the priestess, the priestess also saw him, and the only person standing in the entire square said, "Speak your intentions."
"I came here on the order of Queen Catherine to find a way to dispel the darkness. It seems that I have found it." Ronis stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge statue in the distance.
Ronis doesn't know the depth of this group of people. Of course, he will not directly identify them as pagans on other people's territory, not to mention how the pagan leaders reacted. He shreds.
Even if Ronis could cast a spell to solve these people, he would not do so. He knew very well who was the real master. Facing those angry people, the only thing Ronis could do was to choose to cast a spell and leave.
"So, you came for the light." The priestess stared at him and said, "When darkness comes, light is the gift of the heroes of the light to us. Only those who follow the heroes of the light devoutly are qualified to enjoy these lights. Others will simply sink into the endless darkness."
Ronis was silent, and the priestess said again: "You can come here and hear the teachings of the heroes of the light, which is the guidance of fate. You are different from the rest of the world. What will you choose? Come to the light In the arms of heroes, or with those ignorant people, returning to the boundless darkness?"
There was a sound of iron objects colliding behind Ronis. Looking back, he saw the guards in full formation, as well as the pagan priests staring at him around the square. If he answered wrong, I'm afraid it won't be like this. Let it go.
Faced with the threat of the pagans, Ronis snorted. Before he became a priest, he was a high-level mage no matter what, and although the threat of the current battle made him feel difficult, it was not to the extent that he could not deal with it.
As for the so-called fate, it is even more a nonsense. Everything that happens can be explained by fate, and it is not the heroes of light who really control the fate, but the stigmata of Erathia.
"The only thing I follow is Erathia's teachings of the gods. Now that you are back in the arms of the gods, there may be a chance." Ronis replied firmly, and his words suddenly made the already tense atmosphere even more dull.
Listening to Ronis questioning the words of the hero of light, I don't know that the priest was the first to lose his temper, and dozens of magical of spiritual energy were bombarded at him.
Facing the offensive of the pagan priests, Ronis knew that he was at a disadvantage in numbers, and then without saying a word, he performed teleportation one after another, and his figure quickly fled into the distance.
