Chapter 1138: The wrong direction of suspicion
The words in the crowd are not baseless speculations, because in the past, there have been more than one confirmed instance proving that among the mutated monsters, there have been monsters that can restrain the power of a certain god, and even that
The monster also used the power of that god as food, almost causing the death of that god, and that god was one of the swamp gods.
Although anyone who knows a little bit about theology knows that among the swamp gods believed in by the Hanover Alliance, a few of them are demigods, and the others are just powerful and extraordinary creatures with extremely high intelligence. Because of the Hanover Alliance's
He has been a believer for many years and has never performed any evil sacrifices, so he is recognized by the Orthodox Church as a god.
However, except for those demigods who have real god names, the other swamp gods only have the unified name of swamp gods.
Although the Swamp Gods are somewhat unworthy of their name in the True God camp of the Orthodox Church, and can only rely on the believers of the Hanover Alliance to barely support the facade, the church cannot spread to other continents like other divine churches. Even except for the Hanover Alliance area, the Swamp Gods
The church cannot spread in other areas of Velen continent.
But in the eyes of the people of the Lord of the Sky Church, no matter how unbearable the Swamp Gods are, their true divine nature will not be compromised due to the strength of the church and the gods themselves. Their power is still the divine power of the gods.
Among the mutated monsters, since one monster can form the power to restrain one of the swamp gods, monsters that can restrain the power of other gods will inevitably appear. The only question is when they will appear.
Although the people in the Lord of the Sky Church are unwilling to believe that there are monsters that can restrain the power of the Lord of the Sky, what they see now makes them have to make some associations.
After all, a bishop with several protective powers died silently so close to the checkpoint camp. It can be said that there was no resistance in the whole process, and even the god of help could be released with just a move of his fingers.
There was no chance for the magic to be released. It was not until the magic that was left in the body and died with the enemy that it finally burst out spontaneously and alerted everyone. Otherwise, everyone present might not know that something had happened to the bishop.
This forced everyone in the Sky Bishop's Congregation, who knew the bishop's strength, to consider whether a monster targeting the gods they believed in had already appeared.
"Could it be that guy?" At this time, a temple guard suddenly asked suspiciously.
The guy mentioned by the temple guards was the target of their hunting this time, the monster who could disguise himself as a senior cleric of the Lord of the Sky Church. After hearing this suspicion, the thinking direction of everyone including the hunters and mercenaries was changed.
It was led in a wrong direction that had nothing to do with the real situation, and everyone seemed to think that this suspicion might be right.
The reason why everyone has such an idea is because that monster can perfectly disguise itself as a senior cleric of the Lord of the Sky Church, and can even perform some of the Lord of the Sky's magical spells.
There are only two possibilities for being able to do this, either the monster can imitate the magic of the Lord of the Sky, or the monster can absorb the magical power of senior clergy by devouring them, no matter which one it is.
The possibilities all mean that this monster has power against the divine power of the Lord of the Sky.
Everyone instantly felt that something big was about to happen. Some sensitive hunters and mercenaries even sensed strong murderous intent from several clergymen, and quickly understood that the murderous intent against them was because of these clergymen.
I want to silence him so that this news that will damage the majesty of the Lord of the Sky will not spread.
These hunters and mercenaries immediately put their hands on their weapons and signaled to their companions around them. Although they did not understand why their companions were wary of these clergymen of the Lord of the Sky Church, they still reacted instinctively.
They gathered among their companions, and the others also gathered together as if they felt something, and also put their hands on their weapons.
For a moment, the atmosphere in this forest immediately became extremely tense, and even the most obtuse person could guess the reason.
After a while, someone couldn't stand the tense atmosphere and began to try to evacuate. However, his evacuation did not cause anything worrying to happen. The whole process was careful and fast.
Seeing that some people had already evacuated, other people also evacuated here one after another. The whole process seemed to treat the church people as some kind of terrifying monsters.
However, until the last mercenary left the forest, those from the Sky Lord Church did not take action, which made some hunters and mercenaries wonder whether they had mistakenly blamed the Sky Lord Church people.
In fact, they didn't know that until the last mercenary disappeared from the church's sight, everyone in the church was considering whether they could keep everyone who knew about it in the forest.
However, no matter how they deduced the battle plan, the result was the same. If the hunting team was complete, the leader of the team was not dead, and the two holy warriors were not unconscious, maybe they might still be able to accomplish this.
But now, something has happened to the three most powerful people in the team. Although the remaining two are also senior clergy at the bishop level, their power is only to assist the bishop, and their magical skills are also auxiliary magical skills.
For the main purpose, it is impossible to form enough combat power.
Moreover, now the hunters and mercenaries are aware of it, and there is also a guard from the fire dancer caravan involved in it, and the man who easily knocked down the two holy warriors is in the fire dancer caravan.
, if they take action again, they will be on the weaker side, and it is impossible to prevent the Fire Dancer Caravan from spreading the news, so in the end they can only watch as these people who know the blasphemy are safe one by one.
of leaving.
What they have to do now is to report this matter to the church's main church immediately. The best way to contact the church's main church is to use the Eye of God, but the problem now is that the Eye of God has followed the leader of the bishop.
Death was lost, and they were now unable to contact the main church, which instantly put them in a dilemma.
Just as the people from the Lord of the Sky Church were thinking about what to do next, Leo on the other side also used his fastest speed to sort out the memory fragments he had extracted from the bishop, and understand that the Lord of the Sky Church was targeting Sylvie
After hearing some of Ya's action plans, the originally anxious mood has eased a little at this moment.
The reason why Leo's mood changed like this is because he already knew that Sylvia was safe for the time being. Although the Assassin Room of the Lord of the Sky Church sent assassins to kill Sylvia, they obviously did not know about them.
Among the assassins dispatched were Sylvia's eyes and ears.
From the memory fragments of the bishop, Leo obtained the list of assassins sent by the assassination parlor this time. Leo saw several familiar names in this list, and these names were all in a secret notebook of Sylvia.
It appeared on the Internet, and that notebook recorded some of the spies Sylvia had.
If there were no accidents, Sylvia might have already known that the Sky Lord Church planned to use some extreme but effective methods to deal with her. Even based on his understanding of Sylvia, she might have already known that
A trap has been prepared waiting for people from the Lord of the Sky Church to jump into. When the time comes, she will also be able to use this matter to obtain the benefits she wants from the Lord of the Sky Church.
Leo did not doubt the authenticity of the list provided by the bishop in his memory, because he knew that even though the bishop was not in the core circle of the church, he was the student and confidant of the first cardinal of the Lord of the Sky Church.
After the death of any of the Pope or the Chief Priest of the Lord of the Sky Church, the first cardinal will inevitably take his place and become one of the two saints of the Lord of the Sky Church. At that time, this bishop will also inevitably enter the core circle of the church.
Guilty, so it's not surprising that he now knows some secret things.
The reason why this bishop took the initiative to lead a team to hunt monsters that blasphemed the church this time was to accumulate merit and prepare for reducing the resistance to entering the inner circle in the future. However, he could not think of anything that seemed simple to him.
A trip to hunt monsters led to his death here.
In addition to knowing that Sylvia was not in danger, Leo did not immediately leave for Odolin to join Sylvia because he did not want to involve the Fire Dancer Caravan.
The death of the Bishop of the Lord of the Sky Church will be discovered soon. He had conflicts with the Lord of the Sky before, and he also showed strong enough strength, so he will definitely be the first person to be suspected.
If he suddenly leaves quietly at this time, then it will be confirmed that he is the murderer, and if he cannot be caught as the murderer, the Fire Dancer Caravan will definitely become the target of implication. This is not
What he wants to see.
However, his worries quickly disappeared as the hunters, mercenaries and fire dancer caravan guards who had left the camp came back from the forest, because these people who came back couldn't wait to tell the news about the bishop.
The news of his death at the hands of a monster that restrained the power of the Lord of the Sky spread throughout the entire camp in a short time. Even the logistics staff of the Fire Dancer Caravan were able to complete the whole thing as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Narrate it once.
Everyone in the Lord of the Sky congregation who also returned to the camp was very angry after learning what happened in the camp, but there was nothing they could do.
They knew very well that the reason why these hunters, mercenaries and fire dancer caravan guards did this was to let more people know about this matter, in order to reduce the danger to themselves, and at the same time to provide relief to these people of the Lord of the Sky Church.
Pressure them so that they dare not make any move.
Although the method was simple, it was extremely effective. Seeing that the people of the Lord of the Sky Church could no longer hide it, they no longer focused on blocking the spread, but instead focused on how to spread the news to the main church as quickly as possible.
.
The result of their discussion was to leave here as soon as possible, return to the Sky Lord Church in New Bodo District, and pass the message to the main church through the secret technique left in the Sky Lord statue.
Therefore, the church people who made the decision immediately asked the two auxiliary bishops to use forbidden magic to wake up the two holy warriors from a deep coma, because without the two holy warriors, the forest at night would be very dangerous for them.
.
The magic spells performed by the two auxiliary bishops were indeed very effective. They easily dispelled the spiritual energy that Leo deliberately left on the heads of the two holy warriors and awakened them from their slumber.
After understanding the situation, the two awakened holy warriors agreed with everyone's decision. They immediately packed up their things and prepared to leave overnight and rush to the church sanctuary outside the mountain.
As for Leo, although the two holy warriors had doubts. After all, Leo had the absolute strength to kill the leader bishop in the entire camp, they only had doubts because they did not think that a small conflict would make him
Leo Dodd kills the Bishop, and the Sky Lord Church becomes a dead place.
The conversations of these members of the Lord of the Sky Church in their camp were all captured by Leo's mental net. I don't know whether it was because they were panicked, or because none of them knew how to block magical spells. In short, these clergymen were talking to each other.
Shiki didn't do any tricks at all, and Leo easily understood these people's plans.
Leo knew very well that these people from the Lord of the Sky Church seemed to know his identity, but they definitely didn't know that his church sent people to assassinate Sylvia. Otherwise, they would definitely connect the two and determine that Leo was
The person who killed the leading bishop, instead of placing suspicion on the monster they were chasing this time, even suspected that the monster had the power to restrain the power of the Lord of the Sky.
In fact, after hearing their speculation about the monster, Leo felt a little ridiculous, because these devout believers of the Lord of the Sky actually equated the objects of their faith with the gods in name only of the Swamp Gods.
No., I believe that what happens to the swamp gods will also happen to the Lord of the Sky, the true god, or the Omega-level advanced life form.
Although Leo's understanding of gods is only superficial, he knows Omega-level advanced life forms very well. He knows very well that for Omega-level advanced life forms, only equal power can restrain each other. In other words,
If there is a kind of power that can restrain the power of a certain Omega-level advanced life form, then this power definitely belongs to the Omega-level advanced life form.
As for why there are monsters with the power to restrain the swamp gods, it is because the swamp gods are not gods yet, not omega-level advanced life forms. No matter how close their divine power is to the divine power of the gods, it is always only close, not real.
It's divine power, and it's not inconceivable that the power of restraint appears in this situation.
