Just when Leo and Sylvia solved the abscess flesh and ingested the source, in Redstone Town, the closest to their location, the old man who was responsible for guarding an ancient altar in the center of the town was looking at St. Cracks that keep appearing on the statue in the center of the altar.
I saw that this statue is not much different from other ordinary anthropomorphic statues, but if you look closely, you will find that this statue has no face, and the original position of the facial features is replaced by a complex symbol, the core of this symbol. It should be the holy emblem of the Church of Justice, and around the holy emblem there is a complex circle of symbols entwined and fused with it, which feels like a chain.
If it were in other places, if the clergy of the Justice Church saw such a symbol, they would definitely think it was blasphemy. It won't be long before a large number of Church knights come to crusade, and even this Redstone town will be destroyed by the Justice Church knights. Treat it as a heresy and come to a complete purification.
Fortunately, this is the Kingdom of Teresa, the influence of the church is not very large here, and even though the Church of the True God has built temples, sanctuaries, churches, and temples here, and sent high-level clergy to preach here, but in these churches In the station, there is no complete formation of church knights. Even if a heresy is discovered, it needs the cooperation of the army of Teresa Kingdom to act.
Therefore, in the Kingdom of Teresa, things like this statue with obvious heresy symbols are not uncommon, and the Church of True God here is not surprised, and there is no energy and manpower to solve these things, so as long as such heretical things are not done Too much, the Church of True God in the Kingdom of Teresa usually opens one eye and closes one eye.
Right now, this altar is the epitome of the heretical beliefs of the whole Teresa Kingdom. This altar existed before the construction of Redstone Town. No one knows which the statue in the altar represents.
No one really knows this, let alone the ordinary townspeople in the town, even the old man guarding the altar does not know who the statues in the altar represent, and it is precisely because there is nothing related to it here. religion.
But it is such an altar of unknown gods. Every mayor of Redstone Town will come here at a specific time every year to pay homage and perform some strange-looking ceremonies. After each ceremony, he will repeatedly instruct the guards The people in the altar must report any abnormal movement here as soon as possible.
The old man who guards the altar has been there for more than 20 years. He is not a native of Hongshi Town, he is a refugee from a foreign country. Not because of salary, but because this altar is so weird that anyone who guards the altar will age faster than normal.
Like this old man now, in fact, he is only in his forties, but now he looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Because of this, most of the people who guard the altar are looking for outsiders, and they do it for a lifetime.
The reason why I do it for a lifetime is not because the mayor of Redstone Town does not allow the caretaker to resign, but because as long as you become the caretaker of the altar, it is like signing a contract with a certain existence in the dark. If you have the idea of resigning, even if you see yourself getting older than others day by day, you will still not have the idea of resigning.
The old man originally thought that he might be like the other altar keepers all his life and die in office, but an accident happened tonight. For the first time, he thought that he should leave here, he should go out, and it is best to find a partner , Anyway, his salary accumulated for so many years is enough for him to live his days in abundance.
It's just that he quickly discovered that his thoughts of resigning were wrong, which made him think of the altar, so he came to the altar to check the situation at the first time, and he saw a lot of cracks on the surface of the statue of the altar. .
It wouldn't have shocked and panicked him if it was just a crack, but the sticky pus and blood that kept coming out of the crack really scared him until the statue's arm was too large to support it. , fell and shattered to the ground, he just reacted, and immediately thought of what he should do.
As a result, the old man rushed out of the altar and ran towards the mayor's residence. Because it was late at night, no one was paying attention on the road. Only a few patrolling town guards looked at it suspiciously. Looking at the altar guard, he didn't understand why the other party seemed so flustered.
Not long after, the bell at the mayor's mansion rang. This bell represented the most urgent state of the town. All the people who had been guards or militiamen in the town must unconditionally gather in the town square. .
The Kingdom of Teresa is a mercenary country, and the whole country is very familiar with all kinds of military matters. When the alarm bell sounded, almost all the guards and militiamen in the town woke up from their sleep and were equipped with equipment. Armed with weapons, he concentrated toward the town square.
The originally quiet town immediately became brightly lit. Not only did every house lit up, but even braziers were set up in the square to illuminate the place.
The officer guarding the town had just read the mayor's instructions at this time. Although he still had doubts in his heart and didn't understand the mayor's thoughts, he didn't ask any further questions. In accordance with the military's obedience regulations, he unconditionally began to instruct his subordinates to respond. The guards and militiamen gathered in the square were reorganizing their ranks, and soon the army stood neatly in the square under the command of a loud voice.
It's just that after the whole team was completed, the team's overall guard captain did not issue follow-up orders, but stood on the square like the others, waiting for the arrival of the mayor.
At this moment, the mayor of the town, Ross Belmonte, and the altar keepers came to the altar on the edge of the town, watching the statue that had been shattered to the point where only the pedestal was left, and the flowing ground The pus and blood on his face looked extremely ugly under the light of the torches.
At this moment, Ross Belmont regretted that he would take the initiative to apply to be the mayor of Redstone Town. He originally thought it was a very easy routine task. As long as he sat on the mayor position for six years, he could return to the town. Go to Belmont Castle, or work in other more prosperous cities, because in the past so many years, the Belmont family members who came to Redstone Town to work have done this.
But he never thought that it was less than half a month before he left the post of mayor. The family had already selected a new mayor, and he only needed to wait for the new mayor to arrive and complete the handover before leaving. There was an accident at the altar at that time, and the situation should be the most serious state. Based on this situation, it is inferred that the banned town of Lubeck may have broken through the seal.
He didn't know what that weirdness was, but he knew that in the family's ranking of dangerous objects, that weirdness was in the top ten.
When he first came here to serve as the mayor, he also wanted to go to Lübeck town out of curiosity to see the specific situation, but on the way to Lübeck town, he was blocked by the various restrictions placed in the forest by the family. However, the information he found elsewhere found that the town of Lübeck had long been destroyed. Later, a family scholar told him that the town of Lübeck actually still existed, but it had now become part of that weirdness.
The family scholar did not tell him more about the strange situation in Lübeck Town, but repeatedly warned him that if any abnormality occurred in the altar statue, it should be treated according to the most serious situation, and be prepared to die.
At this moment, everything the scholar said appeared very clearly in Ross Belmont's mind, and he had never felt flustered in his heart, although he really wanted to escape immediately, with his ability, he escaped to A safe place shouldn't be a problem, but when he thought of the family punishment he would face after escaping, the idea of escaping in his mind immediately vanished.
"My lord, my lord, what should we do now?" Just as all kinds of thoughts appeared in Ross Belmont's mind, the altar guard on the side couldn't help interrupting his contemplation and asked.
Ross Belmont turned his head to look at the aged look of the altar keeper, sighed, and said, "You have been fired now, leave here immediately, and the farther you go, the better."
After speaking, he walked out of the altar and walked towards the town square.
Hearing Ross Belmont's words, the altar keeper was dazed, and soon he realized that he had gotten rid of his position as altar keeper, and he could really go to other places leisurely as he thought before. After the days to come, he hesitated after being excited, and his face was even more at a loss, because he couldn't think of where and what kind of life he wanted to live after he left here.
In the past two decades, the old man as an outsider has completely integrated into Red Rock Town, he has become a part of Red Rock Town, even more like his hometown than his hometown, he can't imagine himself leaving Redstone at all. How to live after Shi Zhen, even if he has enough savings.
After standing in a daze for a moment, when the last relatively complete base of the statue was completely shattered and made a strange noise, he also regained his senses, and then saw him turn around and walk into the small room next to the altar , when he came out after a while, he was wearing a simple leather armor and holding an old spear in his hand. He left the altar and trotted towards the brightly lit town square.
After Rose Belmont came to the town square, he saw that the guards and militia had been assembled in the town. He didn't say much nonsense. The prayer relics of the True God Churches stored in the warehouse were taken out and distributed.
These prayer relics come from different True God churches, and are religious objects worn by the clergy of these churches. Because the clergy wears these objects when they pray, some supernatural powers generated by prayer also permeate into the objects. These prayer relics were collected by the Belmont family and the Royal Teresa family, and are regularly replaced every five years to avoid the reduction of the effectiveness of the relics due to storage and other issues.
In addition, the procedures for replacing the sacred relics are also carried out by Belmont Castle, and they are banned and stored through special methods. As long as the ban is lifted, Belmont Castle and members of the Belmont family in nearby cities will respond. We will organize personnel to come here to support as soon as possible.
Now Redstone's only task is to stop the monsters from leaving when the monsters in Lübeck escape until other reinforcements arrive.
As for whether the monster will not attack Redstone, but detour to other places, Ross Belmont is not worried at all, because according to the castle, there is part of the monster buried in Redstone. The body, that weirdness will instinctively go to Redstone Town to recover that part of the body after breaking the ban, so Redstone Town will encounter weird attacks 100% of the time.
While instructing the army to deploy defense, Ross Belmont also instructed his officers to immediately summon the old and weak women and children in the town and arrange for them to leave Red Rock Town in a carriage immediately and take refuge in a nearby town.
The residents of the town were all at a loss as to what was going on, and some were even wearing pajamas, but when the usually arrogant officials in the town knocked on their doors one by one, they ordered them in the most severe tone. Immediately pack up your clothes and leave the town to take refuge, no matter how stupid the town residents know, something big is going to happen.
Coupled with the pair of guards and militiamen under the command, they began to go to the outskirts of the town for defense. No matter how confused they were, they didn't have the intention to ask the reason. Finance, left his house in a panic, some people didn't even close the door, and ran towards the square, for fear of not being able to catch up with the departing motorcade.
In this way, amidst the clamor, the residents of the town gradually decreased, the interior of the town returned to calm, and a convoy like a fire dragon was rapidly moving along the dark mountain road toward the nearest neighbor. The town moved, and on the periphery of the town, various protective fortifications that were prepared before were erected, and the water tanks behind the fortifications were also filled with water, and some sacred objects were thrown into the water, which made the water become a threat to someone. These heretical things have miraculous holy water, and those soldiers and militiamen who have received the holy relics of prayer wear the things on their bodies, even if they have never believed in any religion in the past, but at this time they can't help thinking in their hearts. I recited some self-made prayers, hoping that when they encountered danger, these prayer objects could save their lives.
At this time, Ross Belmont also put on the traditional armor of the Belmont family, and took up weapons and came to the front line, and his actions also improved the morale of the defense line to a certain extent.
However, the long wait that followed made the morale of the defense line and the will of the soldiers slowly weaken, and Rose Belmont was also puzzled by the weirdness that had never appeared, and began to wonder if he was mistaken.
