Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 360 Letters of Reference

"Alfred praised you a lot in his letter, and he rarely valued a person so much."

Messy blond hair draped over his shoulders, and the ends had already turned white. The old man's face was full of grooves, and his body was a little thin, but his sunken eyes were full of shrewd light, like an old lion.

Yu Wei is still here.

"Meow~"

A long-haired cat with tiger stripes jumped to Cheng Shen's side, with a relaxed expression and its tail raised up, as if it was rubbing its trouser legs very intimately with him.

see this scene.

The complexions of Alfred and the old man seemed to become relieved.

"Bright Beast likes Faceless."

said the former.

Gregoren hummed lightly, but didn't say anything. Cheng Shen looked at the cat named Bright Beast thoughtfully, and said, "Maybe it's because we have the same ambitions and have lofty beliefs."

Gregorian was noncommittal.

Cheng Shen stepped forward and put the gift box containing two pieces of jewelry on the table, "This is my heart."

The old man frowned, a little displeased, "Alfred didn't tell you..." He picked up the gift box and was about to throw it back when he was speaking, but his movements stopped suddenly, and then he pressed the box on the ground calmly. bottom of hand.

"It's not easy for you to break the rules and become a hunter."

Gregorian coughed lightly.

"I just want to do my best."

Cheng Shen said firmly.

Among the two pieces of jewelry he made, there is a specially carved life symbol. The effect of this piece of jewelry can rejuvenate dead trees and make the dying hang alive. Wearing it often can achieve the effect of nourishing the body and invigorating the blood.

Perhaps because of the scarcity of rune carvers in the old city, this type of magic equipment is particularly rare.

This gift presumably no fighter can refuse.

Snapped.

Gregorn opened the gift box and took a look, then gently closed it, a flash of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and hissed: "You have such a shrewd mind, but you still want to be a hunter, I really can't figure it out. "

It's not that I have to be...

Cheng Shen secretly slandered.

The third ring of the main task given by the system requires him to obtain shelter from a false god.

This completely blocks him from completing the main quest by joining the Church of Healing.

Not to mention, whether the blood god they believe in is a real god or a false god.

He is dead.

How else could a dead god afford him refuge?

"I can help you with this matter, but it's just to give you a qualification for the assessment." Gregorn said, and Alfred seemed to want to say something when he heard the words, but he held back with a look. .

"You take this letter to the Holy Healing Hall to find Bishop Meg, and he will agree to your application.

But whether you can pass depends on whether your strength and character are qualified enough.

Let me remind you that hunters who apply for exceptions generally face more difficult and dangerous assessment tasks, because you are alone.Not being able to pass is not ashamed, it is more important than trying to keep your life. "

Gregorian threw a letter.

Cheng Shen caught it.

"Thank you."

He said seriously.

"Do you know where the Holy Healing Hall is? I'll see you off!" Alfred said as if holding his breath.

Cheng Shen was about to agree.

However, Gregorn gave Alfred a cold look, "You stay, I want to test whether you have slackened in your practice."

"teacher……"

Alfred wanted to talk.

Cheng Shenzhi said, "It's okay, I can find the Shenghealing Hall."

Say it.

After saluting, he turned and left the courtyard.

"Are you dissatisfied?"

Gregorn glanced at Alfred, who was full of aggrieved face, snorted, opened the gift box, and turned to his direction. Two exquisite jade ornaments bloomed in blue brilliance in the gift box, looking at the gorgeous Incomparable.

But a closer look reveals it.

The parts of the two pieces of jewelry are the same.

"Having just been in contact for a long time, he has already figured out your character, knowing that you will not accept the gift directly, so he handed it over to my teacher... How can someone with such a thought be so simple in his beliefs!"

Gregorn's expression was calm and no emotion could be seen.

"Ah?... No way, teacher, you may have misunderstood what he meant..."

Alfred said blankly.

"Hmph! You idiot! If you are sold, you have to count the money!"

Gregor hated that iron could not be made into steel.

"However, the Bright Beast didn't reject him either."

Alfred mumbled.

"How would I know?"

Gregorn glared at him angrily, and then looked at the tabby cat lying and rolling in the shadows, "Because of this, I can't give him the privilege directly, this guy can even hide the bright beast!"

"Meow~"

The bright beast that had been born with intelligence let out a dissatisfied cry.

"You all think I'm wrong?" Gregorn blew his beard and stared angrily, "I have killed more heretics than you have ever seen! Whether this guy is sincere or not, I can tell at a glance !"

"So it's another attempt to approach me without a face... Then why did you accept his things and promise to introduce him to Bishop Meg?"

Alfred asked puzzled.

"I'm not here for you!"

Gregorian snapped angrily.

He picked up another piece of jewelry in the gift box and threw it to Alfred, "This jewelry can increase your practice speed by at least [-]%! For this treasure, I have taken the risk of being dragged into the water by him!"

"What about the other...?"

Alfred was just straightforward, but not stupid. He saw his teacher's ever-changing expression, and he already had a conclusion in his heart.

"Has it been a long time since I tested your practice results?" Gregorn said with a gloomy face.

Alfred's face turned bitter immediately, regretting talking too much, "Teacher, I have to patrol this afternoon..."

"Draw the sword!"

"Meow~"

Bright Beast lazily turned over.

……

The jerky axle creaked as the carriage moved smoothly. Cheng Shen sat in the carriage, looking down at the blood-stained envelope in his hand.The blood-red streaks flowing in bright red are not blood, but a noble symbol representing status.

"The kindness has already been given, it depends on whether the other party will care about me, an unknown person... It is too passive to have no right to speak."

Cheng Shen sighed softly.

The letter may be genuine.

But it could also be a trap waiting for him to fall into his own trap.

Even if the probability of the latter happening is less than ten percent, he still has to consider the worst outcome in advance.

The moment he saw Gregory, Cheng Shen knew that there was no point in pretending in front of him, it was better to be straightforward.Sometimes it's easier to talk to smart people than it is to be blunt like Alfred.

Although the two gifts he gave were precious, they were not enough to exchange for this letter.

Let a big man take the risk to vouch for an irrelevant stranger, unless the benefits he gives are enough to impress the other party.

Or this is simply a trap to lure him into the net...

However, judging from the conversation between the two of them, Gregorian should not be able to directly label him as a heretic without any evidence.

"My lord, the church is here."

The carriage stopped.

The driver's voice came from outside.

Cheng Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to take off the crow mask. The terrifying face gradually became smoother with a burst of squirming, and then he depicted an ordinary man's appearance, but there was still a faint purple in his eyes.

Pass the copper plate to the coachman.

Get out of the car.

A steeple church built in black, white, and red stands among a row of buildings.

The whole body of the church is still based on black, and the interspersed red and white tiles outline lines on the front, forming a short cross pattern surrounded by red patterns.There were bursts of grand and melodious prayers from inside.

The guards stationed on both sides of the church wore bright silver armor, with white cloth sewn on their chests, and the crossed swords branded on it were very conspicuous.

Cheng Shen was stopped as soon as he approached.

"I'm looking for Bishop Meg."

He took out the letter of introduction from Gregorn, a guard looked at him suspiciously, took the letter of introduction and entered the church to report.

In less than a moment.

A middle-aged man wearing a floor-length white robe came out of the church. He had chestnut wavy short hair, a thick beard, and a pair of deep eyes that seemed to read the vicissitudes of life, revealing a look of wisdom.

He didn't say anything unnecessary after seeing Cheng Shen.

"Come with me."

Cheng Shen followed him into the church, and the voice of prayer suddenly became louder.

He stood at the door and stopped for a while to look around. The tall and wide dome was supported by thick stone pillars. The interior of the church was wide and bright, connected by murals depicting bizarre scenes, and the diamond-shaped flower windows on the top reflected bright colors.

The tall and majestic statue is located in front, and the lifelike face seems to be able to read the pity for all living beings.

But Cheng Shen just glanced at the image and felt uncomfortable all over.

God,
already dead.

Thinking that the believers gathered in the church were praying to a dead body all the time, Cheng Shen felt absurd and ridiculous, but it was accompanied by a sense of uneasiness that a catastrophe was imminent.

After a little calculation, he found the source of this uneasiness.

Before entering the old city, Cheng Shen was already mentally prepared to face a dead city and countless twisted nightmare monsters.

But the actual scene was completely opposite to what he expected.

Except at night.

Everything in this city seems all too normal.

Normally, it made him, an outsider, seem a bit out of place.At this moment, when he saw this group of 'normal people' praying blindly to a corpse, Cheng Shen finally understood where his anxiety came from.

"Normal is an illusion, this city is built on distortion and chaos, and the calm reality suppresses the madness that is about to explode.

But I can't see clearly..."

Thoughts flashed.

Cheng Shen adjusted the emotions in his mind and gradually became pious and stable.

He had used this method to hide the light beast that seemed to be able to perceive the soul before. If necessary, he could completely pretend to be a devout believer, and no one would be able to see through it unless the gods came.

Through the gorgeous corridor supported by the arch structure, Bishop Meg led Cheng Shen to a remote hall.

before entering the door.

He confirmed:

"Choosing to be a hunter is a road that you can't regret. You will eventually become more like monsters than those monsters. Are you sure you have decided to throw away all fetters and are willing to walk in the dark from now on?"

"I have decided."

Cheng Shen said.

Bishop Meg took a deep look at him, raised his hand and pushed the closed door open.

"May God guide your soul never to perish in darkness..."
