Chapter 230: Arrival (two chapters in one)

In a house not far from Baron Elliot's mansion.

Priest Rudolf and six fully armed Templar Knights have been waiting, and several of them are observing something similar to a golden compass.

Just when the silver conch medal on Ryan's chest not far away vibrated, the golden compass also began to vibrate accordingly.

Looking at the amplitude of the golden compass's vibration, Rudolf's originally calm face suddenly showed a trace of solemnity.

"This fluctuation is a little stronger than expected. It seems that this place may be an important stronghold of the Black Flame Church!"

"Let's go! Let's go to support Baron Ryan immediately."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Priest!" The Templar Knights responded in unison.

Then, the group quickly rushed towards Baron Elliot's mansion!

At the same time.

Ryan fell into the cave, and the surrounding vision instantly darkened, but with dark vision, he quickly adapted to the dim interior of the cave and landed steadily.

Soon, he discovered that this was not actually a cave.

Here, the space below the conference room is actually an unusually empty underground hall, covering an area of ​​at least 700 to 800 square meters.

At this moment, in the center of the hall, there is a huge witch formation shining with black light.

In the center of the witch formation are corpses stacked several meters high, and around them are more than a dozen Black Flame monks crawling in a circle, and there are even more Black Flame believers, nearly a hundred people.

At this time, they are chanting something in a low voice, with a focused and fanatical look!

In addition, there is an extremely eye-catching, tall and bloated back, chanting a prayer loudly!

Ryan's face condensed!

He can clearly feel the evil energy here, which is rich and almost substantial, and it is still surging and getting stronger.

Obviously, it is because of this ceremony, and it seems that this ceremony is approaching its final end.

Seeing the few people falling from the top of the hall, the bloated back slowly turned around and glanced.

At this time, Lamar rushed to the bloated body with a look of horror, pointed at Ryan, and shouted hurriedly: "Master Priest, this is Ryan!"

Lamar was slightly relieved when he felt the presence of the Priest beside him. He was really scared by Ryan just now.

Ryan said calmly: "So this is your reliance."

At this moment, Ryan had already focused his attention on the tall and bloated Priest. He felt a breath that made him feel palpitating, and the lv3 level of danger perception was even more alarming!

Priest?

Should he be at the same level as the bishop of the Goddess Church?

It seems that this time he encountered a big fish!

At this moment, Alonso on the side was a little regretful!

He felt that he should have left with his father's messenger at that time.

Although it seems that Ryan should still not be able to turn over, he is in danger at this moment.

Because the cult members are all crazy, he has always maintained a scale that he thinks is safe, but now, it is obviously beyond the scale of safety in his heart.

It would be better not to watch the show if it puts you in such a dangerous and embarrassing situation.

But the problem now is that as soon as Alonso gets close to the burning black flames at the edge of the hall, he feels a stinging pain, which means that he can't leave even if he wants to.

At this moment, the entire underground hall has been shrouded by some kind of evil energy, becoming a cage that can only be entered but not exited!

The tall and bloated officiant stared at Ryan with his small eyes for a while, and then said with interest: "You are Ryan, I finally see you!"

"I heard that you are very powerful and killed Giovanni, so let's have some fun." The officiant smiled and said with narrowed eyes.

He didn't wait for Ryan to speak, and saw him snap his fingers!

"Snap!"

In an instant, the Black Flame believers who were originally kneeling around the ceremony with a fanatical look on their faces suddenly stood up in large numbers.

All of a sudden, there were thirty or forty believers, as if they were controlled by the mind, and they rushed towards Ryan with ferocious faces!

They took off their shirts while running and shouted, "Praise the great God of Hunting!"

This immediately confused Ryan.

These believers are ordinary people. Are they here to die?

As they approached rapidly, Ryan suddenly felt that something seemed to be surging in the other party's body, and the lv3 level of danger perception also gave him intensive warnings at this time.

Ryan knew that these Black Flame believers who were just ordinary people might not be as simple as they seemed.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, raised his bow and arrow, and his fingers were as fast as lightning, shooting rapidly.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

When a steel arrow hit a Black Flame believer, there was a "puff" sound, and the chest and abdomen of the Black Flame believer were directly pierced!

The other party howled immediately, and looked down at the big hole in his chest unwillingly, with a look of fear and confusion.

But

the next second, a loud "boom!" was heard.

This Black Flame believer exploded like a bomb!

For a moment, not only was there blood and flesh splattered with a burnt smell, but there was also a burst of black flames that suddenly spread out.

This scene made Ryan's eyes flicker!

These cultists are doing a "suicide bomb"!

It seems that whether in the past life or the present life, cults are always cults, and the methods are so similar!

But what was even more surprising was the Black Flame Priest.

Because the chief priest had received intelligence about Ryan before, and knew that he was good at using a two-handed warhammer and a great sword, but when did Ryan become good at using a bow and arrow?

Just now, every arrow of Ryan was shot accurately.

Among them, several arrows directly strung two cultists together, and there was even an arrow that pierced three people at once!

Originally, he thought that if Ryan used melee weapons such as a greatsword or a warhammer, he would be seriously injured by the suicide attacks of the cultists, and at the very least, he would be extremely embarrassed.

The current result made the chief priest a little annoyed, which also made him slightly restrain his original playful mentality.

At this time, although this wave of suicide attacks by the Black Flame cultists had been killed by Ryan,

there were only three arrows left in Ryan's quiver!

At this time, the chief priest couldn't help but smile on his fat face and said, "Young man, good archery."

"Unfortunately, you only have three arrows left now. It seems..."

While the chief priest was speaking, Ryan "whoosh!" raised his hand and shot an arrow!

So much nonsense!

The steel arrow, like silver lightning, attacked the priest!

However, when it was about to hit the other party, a dull sound of "bang" was heard!

The arrow was blocked by a layer of black flame shield about 30 centimeters away from the priest's fat body. The end of the arrow was trembling slightly at this moment, and the tip of the arrow was trying to break through the circle of black flames on the priest's body!

"Black Flame Protection!" Ryan narrowed his eyes, and he recalled the situation when he fought with the Black Flame Guardian before. He had seen this evil magic.

The steel arrow hit the circle of black flames into a bowl-shaped depression, and it was almost about to break through the defense of the Black Flame Priest, but it was just a little bit short.

Although the priest was unharmed, he looked at Ryan with his small eyes, and his contempt had been restrained.

Because he knew how strong the defense of his own Black Flame Protection was, but he was almost pierced by the arrow of the young man in front of him!

This Ryan is much stronger than the strength in the information!

In addition, he also sensed from the opponent's battle just now that the opponent was not a peak knight, but a great knight!

So this is your confidence!

However, suddenly, a smile appeared on the fat face of the chief priest, and he said: "Interesting, interesting, it seems that we can have a good time!"

"Maybe, the prayer ceremony can also add another sacrifice that will satisfy my Lord."

The chief priest raised his hand and waved.

"Ryan, you are dead this time! Now, you only have three arrows left in your hand, right?" A sinister voice came!

Lamar had led a dozen Black Flame monks and surrounded Ryan from behind in a fan shape.

At this time, Lamar looked at Ryan with a complacent look and said: "If this is not our nest, you may have turned the tables again!"

"But it's a pity! You chose the wrong place!"

Lamar's voice gradually became higher and higher. I don't know if it was affected by the ceremony or the twisted mind after feeling that he had won the victory. The whole face began to become hideous and a little crazy.

Ryan glanced at Lamar and said calmly, "Lair? So what!"

"Swoosh!"

A huge dog, as big as a pony, carrying a two-handed sledgehammer and a two-handed sword, rushed into the encirclement with a gust of wind and came to Ryan's side.

This was the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' that Ryan left in the carriage, waiting for his master to call!

The Black Flame monks, including Lamar, stared at the huge dog that suddenly appeared in amazement.

Ryan quickly took off the pig-headed hammer and hung the war bow on the greyhound war dog, then patted it, and saw the huge dog quickly move away from the central area and wander around the edge of the area.

The chief priest narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ryan, and was quite surprised!

He finally knew why some of the church's previous actions against Ryan ended in failure.

Because most people would keep a back hand, but the young man in front of him unexpectedly kept three or four back hands!

Even more surprised was Alonso on the side.

Not only did a raptor bring a bow to Ryan, but now a dog has brought a weapon to Ryan. This is simply unbelievable!

When did Ryan become a tamer?

He not only tamed an eagle, but also a dog?

What a joke! Could there be a horse?

After Ryan got the black pig-head hammer, he turned around and turned from facing the chief priest to facing Lamar and other Black Flame monks. With

a tap of his toes, the ground shattered, and the powerful reaction force pushed Ryan forward rapidly!

At the same time, Ryan raised his hammer with both hands and slammed it heavily on the ground!

"Boom!"

With the use of the ultimate 'Shock Wave', a strange wave quickly swept from his pig-head hammer like a tsunami dozens of meters ahead, sweeping all the living and dead things in a large fan-shaped area!

The ground at the point where the hammer touched the ground shattered one after another!

In the area, the Black Flame monks, whose strength was roughly equivalent to that of senior knights, were motionless. Even their expressions of horror before death did not change at all!

However, one thing is certain, their eyes have lost their spirit.

Within a few seconds, including Lamar, their bodies began to collapse on the ground in uneven and rapid manner, with streams of blood flowing out of their mouths and other body cavities.

The fat Black Flame High Priest narrowed his eyes, and he could clearly see that the bones and internal organs of his subordinates had been shattered at the moment when Ryan's hammer hit the ground.

Even the nerves in their bodies were crushed into powder.

Therefore, they had no reaction at this moment, and all of them collapsed on the ground like dead snakes, without even a twitch.

Could this power be called

the bloated The chief priest's eyes suddenly widened twice, and he exclaimed: "You... you actually mastered the true secret!"

"I finally know why the assassination against you has never succeeded!"

"You are not only a great knight at your age, but also mastered the secret"

"Really."

The black flame chief priest didn't know how to evaluate the young man in front of him for a while!

Seeing Ryan's almost terrifying attack, Alonso's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his face was extremely stiff!

At this moment, he couldn't laugh anymore!

Moreover, what did he hear just now?

Ryan Ryan became a great knight?

And mastered the secret?

Oh my God! Isn't this more talented than Claire!

For a moment, Alonso couldn't help but regret why he didn't recruit this young man at the beginning, but with a high-handed mentality, thinking that the other party was just an ant that could be wiped out at will.

The chief priest was going to kill the young man himself, instead of wasting his men.

Although, these believers were no different from leeks to him, and he would be able to absorb another batch of believers in a short time.

However, the current battle situation still undermined his dignity as the chief priest!

He waved his hand, and two Black Flame believers beside him struggled to lift a heavy and two-meter-long giant sickle and handed it to him.

Alonso saw that the chief priest was going to take action himself, and watching this scene, his mentality was like a roller coaster, and he was very excited !

Chief priest! Chief priest!

Don't let me down again!

The fat chief priest moved quickly but not slowly at all. When he was more than 20 meters away from Ryan, the giant sickle slashed diagonally. Suddenly, a surging black flame, like a giant fire snake, swirled towards Ryan!

Ryan quickly rolled on the spot to avoid the chief priest's attack, then kicked his right foot and rushed towards the opponent, raising his two-handed hammer high and smashing it down heavily!

"Dang!!!"

The black flames surged all over the head priest, and he actually took the hammer from Ryan steadily.

Ryan was not surprised at all. After all, as the head priest of the Black Flame Church, it would be strange if he was killed by his hammer!

Ryan surrounded the fat head priest and swung his hammer from different angles, swinging his hammer again and again, and the fierce sound of metal collision continued!

The Black Flame head priest was not able to resist every blow, but the black flame protection power surging in his body was very strong, which could absorb most of the shock force of Ryan's heavy hammer, and the rest was absorbed by the opponent's fat that was several feet thick.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the bodies of the dead nobles, including the bodies of the dead Black Flame monks, were quickly carried to the pile of corpses in the center of the witch formation by some Black Flame believers.

And with this "adding bricks and tiles", the energy of the evil energy witch formation surged even more violently!

"Shockwave!"

Ryan seized the opportunity and, while the Black Flame Priest was unable to defend himself, he smashed through the defense of the Black Flame with a hammer and hit the opponent's fat-stacked abdomen.

This time, the fat several feet thick was also smashed by Ryan's hammer!

The Priest roared in pain, and his black robe was torn apart, revealing his true body.

There were seven or eight closed-eyed faces and twice as many arms on his body. At this moment, although Ryan's pig-headed hammer had blasted a bloody hole the size of a basin on his body, it was also grabbed by the opponent's multiple dry arms!

Just as Ryan was about to pull back the war hammer, in an instant, his heart was alarmed!

The seven or eight faces on the opponent's body suddenly opened their mouths!

Suddenly, seven or eight bowl-thick black fire pillars sprayed out from these open mouths, sweeping all the areas in front of the Priest. If Ryan hadn't dodged in advance, he would have been hit!

Although Ryan has the gift of "Primary Steel Body", he doesn't want to experience the taste of being roasted by black flames.

Alonso on the side didn't have time to be happy that Ryan lost his war hammer, and saw the huge dog suddenly ran to Ryan.

Fuck!

The dog

saw Ryan calmly pull out the glimmering giant sword carried by the greyhound war dog and pointed the tip of the sword at the chief priest!

Suddenly, Ryan turned his head to look at the evil energy witch array on the side!

At this moment, the energy fluctuation of the evil energy witch array reached its peak.

"Great!"

"The prayer ceremony finally succeeded!" Alonso praised in his heart!

Just when Alonso thought that the ceremony was completed and Ryan would not survive for more than three seconds, suddenly, a wave of energy shock wave swept around!

Ryan immediately swung a sword forward, splitting the shock wave in front of him into a gap, and the high-speed airflow swept through both sides of his body.

After Alonso was hit by this evil energy, the whole person began to howl!

He kept tearing off his clothes, and soon he was naked. Then, feathers suddenly grew on his skin. At the same time, ribs pierced his shoulder blades and quickly grew into wings!

At this time, the fat chief priest was amazed.

"Not bad! Not bad! Alonso has become a noble of divine blood under my Lord. It seems that the previous legend that the Habsburg family had integrated the blood of the Kali bird is true!"

"After taking the divine blood, it really worked!"

In fact, for the Black Flame Church, whether these nobles are alive or dead, they have taken divine blood. If they die, their bodies will become the best "nutrients", thereby promoting the prayer ceremony to achieve better results!

If they are alive, they will also be transformed by the will of the God of Hunting after the ceremony and become the best thugs!

The chief priest was very satisfied with Alonso's current state.

Ryan looked at this scene without any sympathy.

These foolish nobles were actually linked with the cult, and it was only a matter of time before they were attacked.

Alonso, who had changed his form greatly and became a birdman, soared to the level of a great knight. His eyes were dark, as if the whites of his eyes were swallowed. With a flap of his wings, he rushed towards Ryan!

"Great God of Hunting, the humble and pious believer prays for the Lord's grace."

Just as Ryan focused his attention on the birdman Alonso, the seriously injured chief priest smiled and chanted a prayer in a low voice.

In an instant, an indescribable terrifying existence suddenly descended!

——A

few minutes ago.

At this time, on the back of the griffin that had just arrived over the city of Meister County and was still flying rapidly, suddenly, the face of the shield-carrying strong man changed, and he quickly took out something like a compass from his arms and looked at it carefully.

The numbers on it kept rising!

"Hey, why is this evil energy fluctuation so strong? Could it be that the evil ritual has already begun?"

"This is earlier than expected!"

He originally thought that he had plenty of time, and was planning to go to the governor of the county city to say hello, but now it seems that he has no time to go.

The sturdy man with a shield looked at the shining lights of Meister County City in front of him, and threw the reins heavily. The griffin let out a loud cry, turned around, and flew rapidly in the direction of the evil energy.

Almost at the same time.

When Rudolph brought the elite Knights Templar to the door of Baron Elliot's mansion, he was stopped by a team of fully armed guards led by the mansion's butler.

The butler recognized the origins of Rudolph and the Knights Templar at first sight, because their costumes were so distinctive.

"Dear guests from the Goddess Church, I'm sorry, this is a private residence of the nobles. If you don't have an invitation, I need to report to the owner first."

"We found that there is evil energy leaking in this residence, and we need to check it immediately!" Rudolf said in a deep voice.

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, Alonso's butler Michel suddenly came out of the residence, saw Rudolf, and greeted him with a smile.

"Chancellor Rudolf, why are you here?"

"Baron Alonso is also in there! The evil energy you mentioned must be an illusion. There are so many of us here, and we don't feel anything wrong!" Michel explained.

Rudolf was stunned when he saw Michel was also there!

He naturally knew that Alonso was the eldest son of Count Habsburg. At this moment, he was weighing the pros and cons quickly!

But the next second he woke up and realized that Ryan was probably in danger at this moment. If he continued to consume it here, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

When he was about to scold him, suddenly a loud and majestic cry came from the sky!

A powerful creature with a lion's body and an eagle's head and a huge wingspan fell from the sky!

"Griffin!" Rudolph, who had seen a lot, recognized the creature in front of him at a glance.

You know, the griffin is the flying mount second only to the dragon in the Dragun Empire. Only the top nobles and those top special departments can ride it.

Sure enough, as the griffin landed, two figures on its back also jumped down.

The strong man with the shield took a look at Rudolph and the Templars, and then took a look at the housekeeper and guards who blocked them, and immediately understood.

The strong man came over and said to Rudolph: "Is this head of the Goddess Church also responsible for handling cult affairs?"

"Yes, sir." Rudolph nodded solemnly and quickly and briefly explained the matter.

Of course, the focus was on emphasizing the obstacles of the housekeeper and others in front of him!

The sturdy man took out an emblem from his chest and showed it to several people, saying, "Please cooperate immediately! The sword bearer is doing things, not to mention you, even if your master does not cooperate, we have the right to kill on the spot!"

Michelle and the housekeeper of the mansion looked at each other, at a loss for a moment!

They knew that this was a big deal!

The imperial sword bearer was famous, of course they had heard of it!

They did not dare to stop him at all, and watched the two people belonging to the sword bearer and Rudolf and his party enter.

Just as Rudolf and his party were walking through the corridor, suddenly, even without the help of the "Golden Compass", they could clearly feel the ground in front of them vibrate slightly, and then a wave of evil energy that made them palpitate burst out like a mountain torrent!

This intensity immediately made Rudolf and all the Templars change their faces!

"Not good! The ceremony is about to be completed!"

"Quick! Speed ​​up!"

When the group rushed to the meeting room, they saw a huge hole in their eyes, and above the hole was a black energy, shaped like an upside-down bowl!

And underneath, a huge witch formation can be vaguely seen, as well as the sound of fierce fighting!

Seeing this scene, Rudolf's face was horrified!

"Is this the lair of the Black Flame Cult?"

Rudolf immediately came to his senses. No wonder the evil energy here fluctuates so violently!

It turns out that this is not an important stronghold of the Black Flame Cult, but their lair!

Rudolf immediately turned his head to a Templar Knight beside him and said, "Go report to Bishop Xien immediately and tell him that we have discovered the lair of the Black Flame Cult!"

Just as Rudolf quickly took out the high-level divine scroll and was about to blast open the black energy shield, suddenly, an indescribable fear filled everyone's heart!

"This is the will of the gods."

"It's too late! Ryan is finished!"
