Digaro has been the caretaker of the Rock Cathedral in Nice for ten years. In these ten years, he has changed from an ordinary church knight to the captain of the caretaker. Judging from the speed of his job promotion, it is not unpleasant.

However, Digaro was not happy about this, because he did not like the city of Nice from the beginning, and he did not want to come to the city of Nice to be a guard captain. He has missed his time in the old continent all the time for so many years.

Home, that giant rock city in the northern polar region, that majestic city built out of the mountains, that great city with lava as rivers and fine wine as springs.

Over the years, he has always wanted to leave Nice and return to Rock City, but no matter how many times he submitted transfer requests, they were all rejected in the end, because the manpower in the New World has never been sufficient, especially in the New World.

There are even fewer magical knights like Digaro who can perform magical arts. If he leaves, there will be no suitable person to fill the vacancy caused by his departure, so he has never been able to transfer it as he wished.

Return to the old continent.

However, Digaro was not upset by this. He carefully analyzed his situation and finally found a way for him to return to his hometown reasonably and legally. This method was to use the very ancient but not invalidated teachings of the Rock Church.

Merit redemption rules: use enough merit to redeem a transfer application.

In the past two days, there have been rumors that a thief is interested in the capstone of the Rock Temple and wants to steal it.

For the other caretakers and church knights who knew each other in the temple, this rumor was a joke that was not worthy of any attention, because in their view, not to mention the divine power contained in the capstone was enough to deal with any attack on them.

For those who are unruly, the weight of the capstone itself can already block the little thoughts of most people.

When the Rock Church was first established, there were churches that were hostile to the Rock Church and sent people to destroy or steal the capstone, hoping to make the Rock Church lose its reputation in the New World and prevent the Rock Church from settling in the New World.

As a result, without exception, those who tried to do evil to the Capstone all ended in failure. Several of those who tried to undermine the Capstone also suffered backlash from the divine power within the Capstone and were directly crushed into meat paste.

.

So when rumors of someone trying to steal the Capstone spread to the Rock Church, not only did the Rock Church not send additional personnel to protect the Capstone, but they even sent away the clergy who were supposed to be vigiling and praying in the church.

, only an empty church was left here, allowing people to enter the church and steal it.

However, Digaro did not regard this incident as a very ordinary incident like his colleagues, but regarded it as an opportunity to accumulate merit. As long as he caught the thief, he would be able to rely on this

The merit plus the merit accumulated over the past ten years will be exchanged for a transfer order.

So, every day in the church, after everyone else left, Digaro still stayed in the church. In order to avoid scaring away the thief, or the thief did not show up when he saw someone guarding him, he also hid himself in the dark, and

Various weapons including shotguns and crossbows were prepared, and of course the large shield and war hammer that the Rock Knight should have were also indispensable.

However, what made him extremely disappointed was that he had been squatting for two days in a row. Not only did he not wait for the thief, but there was not even a ghost. This made him doubt that the rumor might really be just a rumor.

"Forget it if there is no result today." Digaro, who was squatting behind a stone pillar, waved his hand to drive away the insects that kept flying around him, and said to himself impatiently.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound from the church door, which sounded like a knock on the door.

This immediately made Digaro alert, because almost everyone in Nice knew that the Rock Temple was not open to the public, especially at night, and even believers and congregants were not allowed to enter. It was impossible for anyone to enter at this time.

Knocking on the door knowingly.

Therefore, this abnormal situation made him immediately think of the rumored thief. In his opinion, this reckless behavior of knocking on the door was actually a test to see if there was anyone else in the church.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the crossbow and single-barreled shotgun, and tightened his black cloak so that he could better hide himself in the shadow of the stone pillar. At the same time, he carefully moved his head to

The situation at the gate can be seen from the edge of the stone pillar.

After knocking on the door for a while, the people outside the door may have confirmed that there was no one in the church, so they stopped. After a while, they saw a black shadow flashing through the ventilation hole above the main door of the church, and then they looked

A man wearing knight armor squeezed out of the ventilation hole bit by bit, then moved flexibly to a nearby stone pillar, hugged the stone pillar, and slid down.

Because the opponent was wearing armor, when he slid down, the metal of the armor and the surface of the stone pillars rubbed against each other, making a loud and harsh sound that spread throughout the entire Rock Temple and continued to echo in the Temple.

"Is this the thief?" Digaro was completely stunned at this moment, because the thief he recognized was so different from the thief in his impression. In his opinion, a thief should be as gentle as possible when stealing things.

, you should not make any noise. Even if you know that no one is in the house, you will still be cautious. But now this thief is completely careless. From knocking on the door to crawling in through the ventilation hole, he makes all kinds of noises.

Even people outside the church could hear it, and it looked a little weird no matter how you looked at it.

Just when Digaro was confused, the figure went to the door again. It seemed that he wanted to unlock the door and open it to let the accomplices outside come in. However, he obviously underestimated the sophistication of the church door lock. If not,

Under the circumstances, it couldn't be opened at all. When I took it, I saw the figure directly picked up the stone basin next to the door that was used to clean hands, and smashed the door lock with force. As a result, the noise was bigger than before.

Digaro, who witnessed this scene, had the urge to rush out and arrest the guy who broke the door lock of the temple door to prevent him from destroying other things in the temple, but he finally endured it.

After all, there is no doubt which achievement is greater than catching someone who breaks the lock on the church door or catching someone who is trying to steal the capstone.

As the man broke the door lock and opened the door, two more figures walked in. Because they were a bit far away and in the dark, they couldn't see clearly, but judging from their clothes, they should be one man and one man.

Female, wearing normal travel clothes.

"The capstone is over there, do you want to take a look?" At this time, the guy wearing knight armor who came in at the beginning said. Although his voice was not loud, because the church was very empty, it could be heard very loudly.

Far.

Digaro also heard this sentence, and he immediately became excited. Obviously, this sentence proved his guess that the three people who broke into the temple were thieves who came for the Capstone.

Then, one of the two people who came in later nodded and seemed to agree with the suggestion of the man in knight armor, so the group walked from the hall outside the church to the main chapel.

The moment the three of them entered the chapel, Digaro, who was hiding in the dark, could see clearly the appearance of the three of them through the moonlight coming in from the roof window and the oil lamp light of the lobby chandelier.

"How could it be him?" The man and woman who came in behind were completely strangers to Digaro, but the knight who entered Caimen first was someone he knew. After all, in the church of the Rock Church, not

Not many people know the crazy knight Joan.

It was enough to attract attention when Sir Capone returned to the temple and brought a knight of the Order with a false heart. What's more, this knight of the Order with a false heart actually became Sir Capone's paladin apprentice.

This makes everyone feel like they are listening to an annual joke.

It has never happened before in the history of world religions that a knight from one church became an apprentice to a paladin from another church. Many people thought that Sir Capone was crazy for doing such an unreasonable thing.

things.

But no matter how ridiculous the outside world was about this matter, Sir Capone did not change his mind. He even used his status as a paladin to assign a spot in the patrol team that belonged to the knights of the Rock Church to the vain man named Joan.

Knights of the Order of the Heart, this naturally caused dissatisfaction within the Church of the Rock, but these dissatisfied people did not dare to show their dissatisfaction towards Sir Capone, but they dared to vent their dissatisfaction on the Knights of the Order of the False Heart.

On the body.

However, these dissatisfied people seemed to be carried away by their anger, completely forgetting that the knight of the Order came from the church composed of the madman of the False Heart, so in the end, they were taught a lesson by the madman, and the lesson was miserable.

, three people withdrew from the Knights of the Church directly because of physical disabilities.

When this incident broke out, Digaro was not in the city of Nice, but on a mission outside. When he came back, the matter had calmed down, and the knight of the False Heart Order named Joan had already arrived.

The patrol team, including food and accommodation, rarely returns to the church sanctuary.

Although Di Galo did not have a head-on confrontation with Joan, Joan's subsequent actions in the patrol team, such as conflicts with his colleagues, provided Di Galo with some reference. He asked himself if the two were in a head-to-head fight.

If so, his chances of winning should be greater. If it is a life and death fight, then he will definitely lose, but if he is given enough time to prepare weapons, then he should be able to become the final winner.

There were also people in the church who encouraged Digaro to compete with Joan in order to redeem the shame of the entire church knights of the Rock Temple being defeated by Joan alone. However, because the two had little intersection, and Digaro was not a

He likes people who take the initiative to provoke, so the matter was left alone, and now Qiao An has become the thief's guide, which makes Digaro feel that he may be able to fulfill the wishes of his colleagues this time.

On the other side, although Digaro hid very secretly and controlled his breathing as much as possible, when he spied on Leo and Sylvia, both of them immediately felt the prying eyes.

, but none of them showed any abnormality. They still followed Qiao An, who was trying his best to introduce the Rock Temple, to the center stone like a tourist.

The two of them casually glanced at this huge church made of huge rocks. Although this building was extremely majestic, it did not arouse much surprise to them because of the interior decoration and architectural structure of this church.

, which is almost identical to the Stone Throne and Megalithic Church in Miria City. The only difference is that some of the religious symbols are slightly different.

In Miria's megalithic church, there are a large number of sculptures of gargoyles and stone giants. They are the guardians of the Stone Throne and are also a magical casting material for the Stone Throne. This magical spell can be used to inspire these stone statues when necessary.

Ghosts and stone giants defend themselves against incoming enemies.

The current rock temple has no such statues at all. They are all crude and simple stone pillars. Only at the connection between the top of the stone pillars and the dome is a row of Cyclops with many arms carved. These Cyclops are all

Kneeling and carrying the dome of the church symbolizes surrender and service.

It is mentioned in the classics of the Rock Church that when the Lord of Stone they believed in first appeared, there was a group of multi-armed cyclops who were enemies of them. Later, these Cyclops were defeated by the Lord of Stone and surrendered to the Lord of Stone.

The power of the Lord became his dependent family. Until now, in the headquarters of the Rock Church in the Old World, there are still some church forces composed of multi-armed Cyclops.

Currently, these multi-armed Cyclops carved at the junction of the stone pillars and the dome cannot become alive like the gargoyles in the Miria Stone Church, but they do possess some special powers belonging to the giants in the single courtyard. These powers will have an impact on the giants.

It has some obvious effects on the people in the church. For example, the knights of the Rock Church may have some magical abilities under this power, while those who are not from the Rock Church will be greatly suppressed.

Although Leo has not experienced how strong the power in those Cyclops statues is, he has tried it with the spiritual net, but he has gained nothing, because as soon as his spiritual net left his body, he was surrounded by the power in the temple.

After being washed away, it is obvious that there is not only one power in this temple, but also many powers and traps hidden here.

However, Leo and Sylvia were both highly skilled and bold, and did not care at all about these hidden powers. Their focus quickly shifted from the surrounding situation to the thing called the capstone suspended in the air.

I saw that this capstone was square and looked like a stone tablet. There were more than a dozen ropes that tied it and suspended it in the air. On the front was carved a faceless giant statue. The statue's

A hole was dug out of the heart, and a fist-sized gem was placed in the hole. On the back of the stone tablet were some strange words similar to prayers, which looked very complicated.

Although neither Leo nor Sylvia are stone experts, they were able to see immediately that the capstone was not a stone at all, but a part of the limbs or flesh and blood of a mysterious existence, because whether it was Leo
