Volume 1 Chapter 42 This is a terrorist act against the church
After Lynch and others left.
A magic circle appeared where Hydra was burned.
An old man in a golden robe appeared instantly.
His hair and beard were all white, his face was wrinkled, his eye sockets were deep, and his long white beard hung down to his waist.
In his hand he held a long, white wand without any embellishments.
Seeing the big ball at the robbery site and smelling the blood inside, the old man took a deep breath.
He walked to the big ball and wiped it with his hand.
Then he spread his palms out and brought them close to his nose to sniff.
"The new magic aura will last no more than two hours. It contains lightning, light, fire, poison, and space elements. It can kill Dick and the fake Hydra. The opponent must be at least a ninth-level Transcendent."
"The power of space magic elements? Am I wrong? How is it possible that someone can control space magic? Even the gods of ancient times can't do such a thing! It is a power of the forbidden level."
The old man analyzed calmly, his eyes seemed to be free of emotion.
Then he began to lick the ashes on his palms.
"The smell of human and beast blood. Some of them died three or four hours ago, and some died more than two hours ago. The beast blood is Hydra's, and it smells burnt. Judging from the smell, it seems to have digested human flesh. Hmm... that smell should be Hydra's digestive tract, and it seems to have the taste of Dick, bitter and astringent. It should be backlash. As for the other smells, I haven't tried them, so I can't try them out. The information is insufficient."
The old man sighed, prostrated himself, and began to sniff the ground, then slowly moved towards the grove like a dog.
In the grove, he stood up, closed his eyes and kept sniffing.
And began touching every tree he passed.
"Here..."
The old man's mouth curled up and he seemed to be walking aimlessly.
But the route he was walking was actually the same place that Lin Qi and others had walked.
Soon, he arrived at Marcus's grave.
"Marcus's Tomb." The old man looked at the wooden sign and frowned. "No, I smell Dick here. And the smell here is also in the soil I just tasted."
After saying this, he took a deep breath.
He squatted down to the place where the soil had obviously been renovated, grabbed a handful of soil and tasted it.
"The soil smells like Dick's blood and several other smells," the old man muttered.
Then he recited a silent spell with an expressionless face.
A magic circle appeared, and the soil in front of him began to float up, revealing a bloody corpse mixed with soil in the pit.
The old man was not afraid of dirt and jumped directly into the pit. He touched the flesh on the corpse with his fingers and put it into his mouth to taste it.
"Sour, slightly bitter, light element..." He muttered a lot of words before nodding calmly.
"It's Dick, for sure! But he's a little weird."
The old man frowned, his face solemn.
"There are all kinds of magic elements, and it smells like the magic energy is very powerful. Such magic cannot be cast by a magician, and there are also these two kinds of fighting spirit. If it is used by one person, it would be too terrible. I am afraid that even the magic power of the super god level cannot support so much magic!"
"I'm afraid this is a powerful organization with a big conspiracy. Why did they kill Dick and even the fake Hydra of our church? And they seem to have cleaned up the scene. If it weren't for me, no one would have discovered all this!"
"This is just for show. This is a declaration of war!"
As he spoke, the old man's expression changed.
After taking a deep breath, he flew into the sky.
In another place, he also felt the breath of this place.
town of wick.
Soon, the old man saw a group of women talking about something in the center of the town of Wick.
His ears moved and he took in everyone's words.
"The Universal Church is disgusting. They are a bunch of demons!"
"That Bishop Dick was wrong about him."
"Luckily God saved us. Oh my god! God is really handsome."
"Well, Bishop Dick is quite pitiful. I heard that it was the God of the Almighty Church who forced him to become a devil."
The old man listened to the women's idle chatter and his expression gradually turned grim.
He realized the seriousness of the matter.
If you say that Dick has turned into a devil, he simply won't believe it!
And what do these guys say about God saving them?
Where are the gods in this world? They haven't appeared for hundreds of thousands of years!
Nonsense!
It is obvious that someone is deliberately smearing the Universal Church!
He narrowed his eyes and stared at a girl in the corner of the town.
He flew silently behind the girl and put his hand on the back of her head.
Before the girl realized what was happening, her eyes rolled back and her body fell weakly.
"God said that everything in the world is given by God, including the souls of the living. If God wants to take it back, no one can stop him."
The old man's voice rang out.
A white magic circle enveloped the girl's head, with runes flowing.
The old man slowly loosened his grip, letting the breathless girl fall powerlessly to the ground, and stood there in silence.
After about half an hour, beads of sweat appeared on the old man's forehead. He wiped the sweat off with his long sleeves and shook his head.
"There really is a demon, but that demon is definitely not Dick in disguise. Although the time of death is not much different, I can feel it."
"Their real purpose is to throw dirty water. Otherwise, a demon and a strong man would never appear in this useless town! Not to mention that they would not go to such great lengths to play the role of evildoers and then play tricks to discredit the church. It must be a deliberate and clumsy plot."
"Also, the combination of demons and humans is already strange. It's even stranger that a strong person who uses light energy is walking with a demon!"
"Finally, at the place where Hydra died, there was no breath of the devil, only another kind of light magic. It is very likely that these two groups of people are not the same group, which further proves the strength of this organization!"
"call!"
The old man's head was sweating more and more.
He was a little panicked, as he had no idea who was targeting the church.
This is so weird and so targeted!
He sighed, and a ring on his index finger flashed a black light.
A half-meter-high square mirror floated in front of him. The old man stroked the mirror with his hand, and magic runes flashed.
After a while, a man wearing a crown, a white robe and holding a scepter appeared in the mirror. He had his back to the old man, revealing a head of rough white hair that reached his waist.
In front of the person in the mirror is a statue.
The statue is pure white, with its palms facing up as if embracing, its angular face facing the sky, its hair loose, and six pairs of wings revealed behind its back!
"The Universal Church, the Inquisition, the Chief Judge, Yul Philip!" The old man held up the staff with his left hand, put the two fingers of his right hand together and pointed at the center of his forehead, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said quietly: "Greetings, His Holiness the Pope!"
"What is it?"
The person in the mirror asked coldly.
"In the south of the continent, in the Kingdom of Klei, near the town of Vick, something happened."
"The believers, the cardinal, and Dick Gar died tragically. The statue holding the holy relic - Hydra's summons - was destroyed, and the sealed Hydra pseudo-creature died."
"According to intelligence, I have sufficient reasons and evidence to suspect that there is one or more forces on the mainland that are deliberately plotting subversion against the church."
"And their organization is extremely strict and purposeful. I'm afraid they have been planning this for a long time. There is an absolute probability that they will continue to attack the church!"
"And it happened only a few days after the explosion in Osden Forest. Although the magical energy in Osden Forest is mixed, I can't be sure, but I think there is a connection between them."
"The Church is under attack!"
Yule's voice was solemn.
