Digaro has been a guard in the Rock Church in Nice for ten years. In these ten years, he has changed from an ordinary church knight to the captain of the guard. Judging from the speed of his job promotion, it is not unpleasant.
However, Digaro was not happy because he didn't like Nice City from the beginning, and he didn't want to come to Nice City to be the captain of the watchman. He has missed his life in the Old World all the time for so many years. Hometown, the giant rock city in the northern polar region, the majestic city built by digging a mountain, the great city with lava as a river and wine as a spring.
For so many years, he has always wanted to leave Nice and return to Rock City, but no matter how many times he submitted a transfer request, he was eventually rejected without exception, because the New World has not always had enough manpower, especially It is the divine knight who can perform divine magic like Digaro is even rarer. If he leaves, then the job vacancy caused by his departure will not be filled by suitable people, so he has not been able to adjust as desired. Back to the old continent.
However, Digaro was not upset because of this. He carefully analyzed his situation and finally found a way for him to return to his hometown in a reasonable and legal way. This method was to use the very old Rock Church, but it has not been invalidated. Merit exchange rules, use enough merits to redeem transfer applications.
In the past two days, it was rumored that a thief was interested in the topstone of the Rock Temple and wanted to steal it.
For the other guards and church knights known in the temple, this rumor is a joke that is not worthy of any attention, because in their opinion, not to mention the divine power contained in the capstone is sufficient to deal with any opposition. For those who are unruly, the weight of the top core stone alone can stop most people from thinking carefully.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Panshi Church, a church that was hostile to the Panshi Church sent people to destroy or steal the Heartstone, in order to lose the popularity of the Panshi Church in the New World and prevent the Panshi Church from entering the New World.
As a result, without exception, those who tried to disobey the core stone ended in failure, and several of them who tried to break the core stone were beaten back by the divine power in the core stone and were directly crushed into meat sauce. .
Therefore, when the rumors of someone trying to steal the Top Heart Stone were transmitted to the contents of the Rock Church, not only did the Panshi Church not send additional personnel to protect the Top Heart Stone, but even the clergy that was supposed to vigil in the church to pray at night was also dispensed with. So, only an empty temple was left here, allowing people to enter the temple and steal it.
It’s just that Digaro didn’t regard this incident as a very ordinary incident like his colleagues did, but regarded it as an opportunity to accumulate merits. As long as the thief was caught, he would be able to rely on it. The merits plus the merits accumulated over the past ten years are exchanged for a transfer order.
Since then, every day in the church, after everyone else left, Digaro still stayed in the church. In order to avoid scaring the thief, or the thief saw that someone was guarding him not showing up, he also hid himself in the dark, and Prepared a variety of weapons including shotguns, bows and crossbows, and of course the big shields and warhammers that Rock Knights should have.
However, what made him extremely disappointed was that he squatted for two days in a row. Not only did he not wait for the thief, but there was not even a ghost shadow, which made him doubt that the rumor might really be a rumor.
"It doesn't matter if there is no result today." Digaro crouched behind a stone pillar waved his hand and drove away the flying insects beside him, and said to himself with some impatientness.
Just as his voice fell, a voice came from the door of the church, which sounded like a knock on the door.
This immediately made Digaro alert, because almost all the people in Nice knew that the Rock Church was not open to the public, especially at night, and even the believers and congregants would not be allowed to enter. There is no possibility of anyone at this time. Knock on the door knowingly.
Therefore, this abnormal situation made him immediately think of the rumored thief, and this kind of reckless behavior of knocking on the door, in his opinion, is actually a temptation to test whether there are other people in the temple.
Thinking of this, he could not help but squeeze the crossbow and single-barreled shotgun in his hand, tightening the black cloak on his body so that he could better hide in the shadow of the stone pillar, and at the same time he moved his head carefully. The edge of the stone pillar spied on the situation at the gate.
After knocking on the door for a while, the people outside the door may have confirmed that there was no one in the temple, and then stopped. After a while, they saw a dark shadow flashing through the ventilation hole above the main entrance of the temple, and followed. A person wearing a knight armor squeezed out from the vent a little bit, then moved flexibly to a nearby stone pillar, held the stone pillar, and slid down.
Because the opponent was wearing armor, when sliding down, the metal of the armor and the surface of the stone pillar rubbed against each other, making a huge and harsh sound, which spread throughout the entire Rock Church, and constantly echoed in the temple.
"This is the thief?" At this moment Digaro was completely stunned, because the thief he identified was so different from the thief he had in his mind. In his opinion, a thief who came to steal something should be as light as possible. , It’s right not to make any movement. Even if you know that there is no one in the house, you will still be cautious. But now this thief is completely careless. From knocking on the door to crawling in through the ventilation hole, the various movements made are so big Even the people outside the sanctuary could hear it, and it seemed a little weird to look at it.
Just when Digaro was puzzled, the figure went to the door again. It seemed that he wanted to unlock the door and let the accomplices outside come in. It was just that he had obviously underestimated the fineness of the door lock of the church. Under the circumstance, it couldn't open at all. After receiving it, I saw the figure directly hugged the stone basin next to the door and smashed the door lock. As a result, the noise was even greater than before.
And Digaro who witnessed this scene was even more impulsive, and immediately rushed out and grabbed the guy who broke the door lock of the church, lest this guy would destroy other things in the church, but he finally endured it. After all, catching a person who broke the door lock of the temple is more successful than catching a person who tried to steal the heartstone.
As the man smashed the door lock and opened the door, two more figures walked in. Because the distance was a little far away, and in the dark, they didn’t see that clearly, but judging from the clothes, they should be one man and one man. Female, dressed like a normal travel outfit.
"The Top Heart Stone is over there. Are you going to see it?" At this time, the guy in the knight armor who came in at the beginning said, although the voice is not loud, but because the temple is very empty, it is very popular. Far.
Digaro also heard this sentence, and he immediately became excited. Obviously, this sentence proved his guess that the three people who broke into the sanctuary were thieves who came to the topstone.
Then, after seeing the two people who came in, one of them nodded and seemed to agree with the proposal of the man in knight armor, so the group walked from the hall outside the temple to the chapel in the main hall.
When the three of them entered the chapel, Digaro hiding in the dark also saw the appearance of the three through the moonlight coming in from the roof window and the oil lamp light of the chandelier in the lobby.
"How could it be him?" The man and woman who came in behind were completely strangers to Digaro, but the knight who came to Kaimen first was someone he knew. After all, in the church of Rock Church, no Not many people know Joan the lunatic knight.
When Sir Capone returned to the temple and brought a illusionist knight of the Order, it was enough to attract attention. What's more, the order knight of the illusion heart turned out to be an apprentice of Sir Capone’s paladin. This makes everyone feel like they are listening to an annual joke.
A knight of the order of a church becomes an apprentice of a paladin of another church. This kind of thing has never happened in the entire history of world religion. Many people think that Sir Capone is crazy, and he did this unreasonable. Things.
But no matter how ridiculous the outside world was about this incident, Sir Capone did not change his mind. He even used his paladin status to assign a patrol team that was originally a knight of the Rock Church to the falsehood named Joan. Knights of the Order of the Heart, this naturally caused dissatisfaction within the Rock Church, but these dissatisfied people did not dare to show their dissatisfaction to Sir Capone, but they dared to vent their dissatisfaction on the Knights of the Order of the False Heart. Body.
It’s just that these dissatisfied people seemed to be dazzled by anger, forgetting that the order knights came from a church composed of vain hearts and lunatics, so in the end they were taught by the lunatic, and the lessons were very miserable. , There are three people who withdrew from the Knights of the Church directly because of their physical disabilities.
When the incident broke up, Digaro was not in Nice, but was performing his mission outside. When he returned, the matter had calmed down, and the Knight of the False Heart Order named Joan had already arrived. The patrol team also patrolled food and accommodation, and rarely returned to the church church.
Although Digaro did not face-to-face with Qiao Ann, what Qiao Ann did in the patrol afterwards, such as the conflict with his colleagues, provided Digaro with some reference. He asked himself if the two were fighting head-to-head. If it is, his chances of winning should be greater. If it is a life-and-death fight, then he will undoubtedly lose, but if he is given enough time to prepare weapons, then he should be able to become the final winner.
There are also people in the church who instigated Digaro and Joanbi to fight once in order to redeem the shame that the church knights of the entire Rock Temple were defeated by Joan alone, but because there is no intersection between the two, and Digaro is not the same. People who like provocative action, so this matter will not stop, and now Qiao Ann has become the leader of the thief, which made Digaro feel that he might be able to fulfill the wishes of those colleagues this time.
On the other side, although Digaro hid secretly and restrained his breath as much as possible, when he spied on Leo and Sylvia, both of them felt this prying gaze for the first time. , It's just that none of them showed any abnormality, and they still followed Qiao An who tried to introduce the Rock Temple like a tourist, and came to the top of the stone.
The two randomly scanned the huge church made of boulders. Although the building was extremely magnificent, it did not arouse too much surprise for the two of them, because of the interior decoration and architectural structure of the church. It is almost exactly the same as the megalithic church of the Stone Throne in Miria, the only difference is that some religious symbols of the two are slightly different.
In Miria’s megalithic church, there are a large number of sculptures of gargoyles and stone giants, which are the guardians of the stone throne and a magical material for the stone throne. If necessary, you can use this magic to inspire these stone statues. The ghosts and stone giants resist the incoming enemies.
At the moment, this rock temple does not have these statues at all. They are all crude and simple stone pillars. Only at the junction of the top of the stone pillar and the dome, a row of cyclops with many arms is carved. These cyclops are all Kneeling, and carrying the dome of the church, symbolizing surrender and service.
It is mentioned in the classics of the Rock Church that when the Lord of Stone they believed in first appeared, there was a group of multi-armed cyclops against it. Later, these cyclops were defeated by the Lord of Stone and surrendered to the Lord of Stone. The power of the Lord became his family, and until now, in the headquarters of the Rock Church in the Old World, there are still some church powers composed of multi-armed cyclops.
At the moment, these multi-armed cyclops carved at the junction of the stone pillars and the dome cannot become alive like the gargoyles in the Melia megalithic church, but they have some special powers belonging to the giants of the single courtyard. The people in the church have some obvious influences. For example, the knights of the Rock Church may have some magical abilities under this power ~EbookFREE.me~, while those who are not from the Rock Church will be greatly affected. suppress.
Although Leo has not experienced how powerful the power in the Cyclops statues are, he has already tried it with the spiritual net, and nothing has been gained, because his spiritual net was surrounded by the power in the temple as soon as he left his body. After being washed away, it is clear that there is not only one power in this temple, and there are many powers and traps hidden here.
However, Leo and Sylvia are both bold and bold. They didn't care about these hidden powers at all. Their focus soon fell on the thing called the Top Heart Stone suspended in the air from the surrounding situation.
I saw that this top heart stone was square and looked like a stone monument. There were more than a dozen ropes tied him and suspended him in the air. On its front was engraved with a faceless giant idol. A hole was dug out of the heart, and a fist-sized gem was placed in the hole. In addition, on the back of the stele were some strange words like prayers, which looked very complicated.
Although Leo and Sylvia were not stone experts, they were able to see for the first time that this core stone was not a stone at all, but a part of the limbs or flesh and blood of a mysterious existence, because whether it was Leo , Or Sylvia felt the suppression of the higher bloodline from the higher superiors in this top heart stone.
