Leo used various methods to obtain a large amount of alchemy and pharmaceutical materials. He did not use all of these materials, but selected a lot of high-quality spiritual materials from them, and prepared to bring them to the Velen world to try to use the spiritual energy of that world.

Energy materials can be combined with other materials to see what magical effects can be produced.

But as a result, these materials have now lost all their medicinal efficacy due to unknown reasons, and are highly decayed, as if they have been left for a long time.

After discovering that the psychic materials were corrupted, Leo quickly checked the psychic potion he made with these materials, and also checked the armor and weapons of the two people. The result made him feel a little relieved. The finished medicine

, and there is no mutation in weapons and armor.

"At least the loss is not very big." Leo rewrapped the things and put them on the horse, saying in a deep voice.

"Look over there!" Sylvia patted Leo's shoulder at this time, pointed forward, and said.

Leo looked in the direction of Sylvia's finger and saw a village looming in the rain and fog ahead, which seemed to be the destination of their trip.

After seeing that, the two of them turned around, mounted their horses, and walked over there. Soon they came to the entrance of the town.

The situation here is similar to that of other mountain towns. There is a wall made of wooden piles around the outside, leaving only a gate for people to pass through.

However, according to normal conditions, no one lives here all year round, and in the cold and humid environment in the mountains, whether it is the outer wooden walls, wooden gates, or the wooden buildings in the village, they should have been decayed and dilapidated long ago.

That's right, just like the town of Lobe at the foot of the mountain.

But the situation here is completely different. Everything here seems to be new, as if everything is the same as when the town was originally built. The only difference is that there is no one in the town at the moment.

However, everything here did not deceive Leo's eyes. After he inspired his spiritual vision and blessed the power of the Eye of Truth, he looked around and said: "This place has been affected by the power of the Night God's Sigh for a long time, and has formed a

A place where illusion and reality coexist, even without the power provided by the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh, the remaining power of this place can still maintain the real illusion here."

In his eyes, the town was completely dilapidated. The wooden piles and gates on the outer walls had rotted and collapsed, and the buildings inside the town were also dilapidated. It seemed that as long as the wind in the mountains blew a little stronger, all the houses would immediately collapse.

It looks like it's collapsing.

After Sylvia knew that the scene Leo saw was different, she asked: "Is there a way for me to see the real situation here?"

Leo thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Not right now, but in the future I might be able to make you a pair of glasses that contain the power of the True Eye. By then you should also be able to see through those glasses.

The reality of this world.”

As he spoke, he looked inside the village again, and then he seemed to see something unexpected, and let out a soft cry of surprise.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Sylvia asked.

"Have you seen the church of the King of the Hill?" Leo pointed towards the middle of the village and said.

Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it!"

"Is the church you saw intact?" Leo asked again.

"It's intact." Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion and asked, "Isn't what you saw intact?"

Leo shook his head and said, "It's also intact."

Sylvia didn't understand what Leo meant at first, but he soon thought that Leo had used the Eye of Reality at this moment. The village in his eyes was all a scene of corruption. Logically speaking, the village was also built of wood.

The church should also be in a state of corruption, and it will never be intact.

Sylvia has been in the Orthodox Church for so long, so she is naturally very aware of some things about religious buildings. Although because they are often baptized by divine power, the buildings of the True God Church will be more difficult to decay and more durable than other buildings, but this does not mean that

The church building is immortal, it will still decay, but the rate of decay is much slower than other buildings.

Therefore, after breakthroughs were made in construction projects, as long as the financial resources and conditions allowed, each church would build masonry churches and rarely use perishable wood.

This mountain village has not been inhabited for many years. Even if the church is baptized with divine power every day, it cannot stop natural decay. Even if the wood on the building does not rot like the ordinary buildings in the village, it should not be as well preserved as it is now.

right.

"It looks like that place is a little weird!" Leo frowned, thinking of the request made by St. Francis to place the wooden sculpture of the King of the Hill in the church's shrine.

Thinking of this, he took out the wood carving of the Hill King from the storage space. He saw that the originally plain wood carving was now emitting a faint light. When he held it in his hand, he could even hear a burst of majesty.

war song.

"Shouldn't there be a wizard tower here?" At this time, Sylvia suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice.

At this time, Leo also realized that this village was missing a wizard tower, which made him wonder: "Isn't this the village we are going to?"

After a moment of confusion, Leo shook his head again. The illusion of the town in front of him was obviously created by the sigh of the night god. In this regard, he could sense a trace of the same source of power from the slight resonance of the power of nightmare. Only

However, he cannot absorb the power that created this illusion like he absorbed those fragments of pages.

"Let's go! No matter what, we have to go in and take a look!" Leo said, then rode forward and walked towards the village, with Sylvia following closely behind.

When Leo approached the town, he removed the Eye of Reality, allowing himself and Sylvia to be in the same field of vision, and also saw the illusion of the village being intact.

When he arrived at the gate, he clearly knew that the gate in front of him was fake and an illusion, but when he touched it with his hand, he could still feel the solid wood and still had a perception that the gate was real.

It was the influence of this kind of cognition that made Leo destroy the latch of the door in the normal way, then opened the door and walked in.

After entering the gate, you will see a well-preserved village, but there is no one in the village and it is empty.

Sylvia followed Leo and walked in. She held her familiar repeating crossbow in her hand. She looked around vigilantly. After finding no danger, she couldn't help but question: "I remember that some information mentioned that

, there are countless unkillable monsters and corpses in this village, why is there nothing now?"

"Could it be..." Leo, who also didn't find any dangerous objects, also showed doubts, but he suddenly thought of something and said: "Could it be that those things we solved in the forest before were originally here?

Monsters and zombies, right?”

Sylvia was stunned, nodded, and said, "It's possible."

Although they made such a guess, neither of them was completely relieved. They still remained vigilant and walked towards the church in the center of the village. Soon they came to the church of the King of the Hill.

"Do you feel it?" Sylvia suddenly asked Leo while standing in front of the church.

"What do you feel?" Leo asked without remembering.

"The breath of the abyss." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

When Leo heard this, he frowned and immediately called on the power of the crystallized snake in his arm.

Through the crystallized serpent, he also clearly felt that there was indeed a strong aura of the abyss in this church of the King of the Hill, which reminded him of Death Valley.

After discovering this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, then dismounted, prepared their weapons, backed away from the church door, and looked inside the church.

The exterior wall of this church is made of this unique kind of white pine, and then painted with a special white paint made of white pine branches and leaves, which can better prevent corrosion and moisture, and under the sunlight, this white building can also

It emits bursts of light and looks very holy.

However, the interior of such a building that looks extremely holy is full of evil atmosphere. Bloody corpses are hanging on the roof. These corpses seem to have just died, with blood flowing downwards, and some blood is flowing along the walls.

It flowed, dyeing the wall red, and some of the blood fell directly to the ground, forming a pool of blood on the ground, making it extremely slippery to step on.

Inside the church, a naked figure as tall as a giant knelt in front of the hill king's shrine, and the statue of the hill king in the shrine where the giant knelt had turned into a pile of gravel powder.

I saw this giant seemed to be repenting, and kept beating his back with the ascetic flail. Every time he was beaten, there would be several more wounds on his back, and a mixture of blood and black oil would remain from the wounds.

When the black oil substance falls to the ground, it will merge with the plasma on the ground.

"Bishop Wilson!" Sylvia suddenly said a person's name at this time.

Leo turned to look at her, and she pointed to the holy crown placed on the altar and said: "There used to be Bishop Wilson in the Church of the King of the Hill who tried to solve the problem here, but..." She did not say anything.

Go on, because the ending is self-evident, and then she said: "Bishop Wilson was considered the most likely person to become the Pope of the Church of the Hill King at that time. He was also considered to be the son of the King of the Hill. Almost everyone

Everyone considers him to be the most devout son of the Hill King in the world, because he is the only follower of the Hill King who can maintain the Holy Eucharist permanently."

"The Holy Body of the Hill King?" Leo was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it the body of a giant?"

Sylvia nodded.

Leo said nothing more, drew out the Great Sword of the Abyss, and walked inside. Sylvia also replaced the hand crossbow with the more powerful King and Queen.

Although the ground is covered with a layer of plasma and is extremely slippery, it has no effect on Leo or Sylvia. They have a layer of power distributed under their feet, and they can ignore the slipperiness of the plasma, as if they are stepping on solid ground.

Same.

The moment the two of them entered the church, the giant was already aware of it, stopped growing in size, and said in Maris Kingdom language with a slight accent: "Who are you? You are here to help me escape.

Human?"

"Yes." Sylvia said: "Bishop Wilson, we are the church here to help you free yourself, and let the incarnation of our Lord return to the throne of God to clean up the filth here."

"That's good, that's good!" the giant murmured, slowly stood up from the ground, picked up the shield next to him, turned around suddenly, and shouted at them: "Then let me free myself.

!”

I saw that compared to the back of the giant, the front of the giant had completely lost its human shape. A completely twisted head was not satisfied with the sharp-toothed mouth. In each mouth, there was a tongue with glasses, from the neck down.

Everything became transparent. Inside his transparent body were not internal organs, but ferocious monsters. These monsters tried to get out of the giant's body, but were always blocked by an invisible force.

Without hesitation, Sylvia raised the king and fired several explosive bullets at the giant. Although the giant was seeking relief, it did not mean that he did nothing. His survival instinct still allowed him to do what he did when facing attacks.

Perform defensive and counterattack actions.

Almost at the same time that Sylvia fired, the giant had already put the giant shield in front of him, instantly blocking Sylvia's bullet.

However, he had obviously never encountered an explosive bullet before. When he thought he had blocked the bullet, the explosive force generated by the bullet exploded instantly, directly shattering the shield in his hand, and the remaining power rushed towards him.

However, at this time, the plasma on the ground suddenly gushes out and directly wraps him up, turning into layers of buffer layers, weakening the power of the bullet's explosion layer by layer.

Seeing that the explosive bullets had no effect, Sylvia immediately changed into the queen and shot at him.

But as soon as the bullet was fired, the huge figure sank into the ground along with the plasma, easily dodging the attack of the penetrating bullet.

Although Bishop Wilson dodged the attack of the penetrating bullet, he was unable to dodge Leo's coordinated attack. Just as Sylvia fired the bullet and the opponent sank into the ground, Leo moved quickly,

In an instant, he knocked down a corner of the church, and then he was seen inserting the abyss sword in his hand into the ground, and the power of his blood was still attached to the abyss sword.

A huge scream came from the underground, and the entire church shook violently because of the scream.

However, Leo did not stop attacking. A crystallized soul gun quickly condensed in his hand, and was directly hit by him at the place where he was stabbed by the abyss sword. The entire ground crystallized instantly, and at the same time, there were some unpleasant sounds that had never been heard before.

It came from underground, and the ground began to arch upward, as if something wanted to get out.
