Chapter 619: Symbol
In a very secret corner in the outskirts of Tivian, there is a secret prison. In the prison, the priests who were supposed to travel far away were imprisoned. After suffering a shameful sneak attack, they were imprisoned here. After several days of strict guard, they gradually gave up the hope of escape.
In the small and dark cell, Pearson, a priest of the Tivian Church, was still trapped here. Strong chains bound his body and thick rock walls blocked his freedom.
In this cage, Pearson had tried to save himself countless times. He tried to break free of the shackles and break out of the cage, release his companions who were captured with him, escape together, and report to the church district. However, the shackles of this prison were so strong, the barriers were so strong, and the guards were so strict that they far exceeded Pearson's expectations. After a long time of struggling, his escape plan made only a little progress, and countless attempts ended in failure.
At this moment, Pearson was slumped in the dim and narrow cell, leaning against the corner, staring blankly at the cold ceiling, with a hollow look in his pupils. Pearson had given up trying to escape, and was silently waiting for his own ending.
"According to what those guys said... after they arranged the means to capture the soul, they should directly get rid of us. It seems... this is an irreversible ending. It's a pity that they didn't tell us about the crisis that Sister Vanya and the others were about to face." Pearson thought desperately in his heart at this time. As a clergyman, there was nothing else he could do at this time except praying.
'Lord, merciful Virgin Mary, if Sister Vanya is really the one you have chosen, please keep her safe. Please rescue us from this prison, and we will expose the conspiracy against your favored one...'
Closing his eyes, Pearson prayed in his heart. He had prayed similar prayers countless times in recent times, but to no avail. Originally, Pearson did not expect this prayer to have any effect, but a sudden loud noise from outside the cell door made him change his mind.
"boom!!"
"What the hell happened...Ah!!"
"Enemy attack! Help!"
Outside Pearson's cell door, there was suddenly a loud noise, the whistling of the wind, people screaming, shouting, and gunshots, one after another, which made Pearson stunned in place. The dazed and empty look in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"What's going on? There's a fight going on outside?! Are there other prisoners escaping? Or..."
Pearson thought in amazement, then he sat up straight in his cell and pricked up his ears to listen more carefully to the situation outside. He heard that the sound of wind and swords and guns that had just erupted gradually subsided after a climax. In just less than a minute, the sound completely disappeared, and silence returned outside the cell door.
Hearing this change, Pearson wondered if the battle outside was over. Just as he was still guessing who the two sides of the battle were and what the final outcome would be, the cell door that had been tightly closed in front of him suddenly swung open.
"Hmm..."
As the thick iron door suddenly opened, a ray of light and a strong wind rushed into the small cell. Pearson, who was sitting inside, felt a chill for a moment. In the long-lost light, he could not help but shield his eyes with his hands.
"This wind is..."
Just as Pearson was feeling extremely surprised, a figure appeared in front of the open cell door. Pearson looked and saw a mysterious man wearing a hood and a bloodstained cloak slowly walking to the door, looking down at himself who was sitting on the ground.
“You, who are you!?”
Looking at the mysterious man in front of him, Pearson spoke in astonishment, and a woman's voice came from under the mysterious man's hood.
"I am Pritt's bodyguard, the one who removes spider poison from this country."
"Eliminate the spider venom...you mean...you are the enemy of the Eight-Pointed Nest? Were you fighting with those guards just now?" Pearson continued to speak in amazement, and the mysterious man continued to speak.
"To be precise, it is us, the eight-pointed fangs, who have bitten on the nerves of this country, and we want to heal it. For this reason, we are here to save you and your companions.
"You are free now, priest. Go to the Chant Church and tell the archbishop what you have experienced. An evil ritual is brewing, and your young saints are in danger. Only the fire of purification has a chance to save all this."
The mysterious woman in a cloak said this, and then she threw a key in front of Pearson. Without waiting for him to react, she floated up from the spot and drifted to the side of the door, leaving Pearson sitting there stupidly, looking at the key that fell in front of him.
"As a wind magician...Does Pritt love his patriots?"
Pearson muttered as he picked up the key in front of him, then after firming his expression, he used the key to open the shackles on his body.
…
Southwest of the main island of Plitvice, Gramorn.
At night in Gramorn, the sky was cloudless and full of stars. A large full moon hung high in the sky. Between the stars, the silver moonlight fell on the dark earth, providing guidance for those who were looking for directions at night.
The moon is set against the backdrop of stars and is reflected on the wide surface of the Star Lake at night. The calm surface of the lake seems to be dotted with crystal stars and gems. The reflection of the full moon, as the largest and shining one among these gems, is dotted in the center of the lake, where the lakeside church still stands.
At this moment, inside the church in the center of the Star Lake, there is a brightly lit scene. The guards of the Holy Relic Pilgrimage are still on guard at every corner of the church. Inside the church, in the spacious chapel under the dome, many figures are gathering. Upon closer inspection, they are actually a dozen nuns wearing ordinary nun uniforms.
In front of the huge statue of the goddess holding a mirror, a group of nuns were gathered in twos and threes, discussing something with each other. They all looked happy, as if they had encountered something worth being happy about. In a corner of the chapel, two nuns with slightly different clothes were standing there, observing the situation of the other nuns at the scene. They were Vanya and "Sister Grey" played by Gosmore.
"I didn't expect it. The training was quite effective. It only took about a day and everyone was already training well. I thought it would take a long time."
Standing on the clean floor, Vanya looked at the nuns in front of her and said so, while beside her, Gsmore spoke with a smile.
