LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 40 Finalizing the Plan
The Twilight Brotherhood and Hylia's Blessed Sect belong to two different factions.

If the Favored Ones are devoted to collecting and protecting knowledge and sealing dangerous arcane items to prevent chaos in the outside world, the Twilight Brotherhood's mission is even more simple - saving lives and healing the wounded.

These monks have been with the dead all year round, and they have studied the subtle boundaries between life and death, and almost contracted the funeral and end-of-life ceremonies of the entire Fuguang Island.

Most Hylians like to call them "soul shepherds".

As a monk, Yorick, who has the talent of "yin and yang eyes", can communicate directly with the dead.

After some mutual introductions, Zendakaya mainly introduced Yorick and the Twilight Brotherhood to Josh and Ryze.

Afterwards, Zhendakaya randomly found a relatively clean table, pushed all the books and scrolls on it to the ground with a big hand, and then asked his two assistants to bring the stone chair.

"Time is running out, let's start the meeting now!"

It seemed that he had guessed the thoughts of Josh, Ryze and Yorick, and it seemed that he was muttering to himself.

Before the meeting started, Zhen Dakaya added: "Oh~~ Don't think about my other two assistants, they can't help with anything except cleaning... oops, and always mess up our things put!"

She took out a stack of sheepskin scrolls from her satchel and spread them out on the table. Everyone suddenly discovered that it was the accurate map of Thresh Prison.

It's not just a map, there are also very delicate data and dotted lines drawn on it, and notes on how to enter certain forbidden places that are banned by magic are also written down in many places.

"The Blessed One found it from the Warden Thresh, who was killed by the Darkborn, in an abandoned warehouse in Erok Greer's jurisdiction. No wonder he can find so much water of life."

Speaking of this, no one except Josh noticed the sudden change in Ryze's face.

He quietly kicked Ruiz under the table, and when the panicked junior looked at him, Josh gave him a serious look.

I feel the sand in my hands... Greer is dead, no one knows I stole the eaux-de-vie.

Ruiz looked around, quickly recited the words during meditation, suppressed the tension that emerged in his heart, and regained his nonchalant appearance.

"Not only this, but the Blessed Ones also said that they found Maxim, the former supervisor who was tortured to the point of inhumanity in a warehouse...

"Bless the light, he just died of starvation, how pitiful..."

"Ahem..." Piot cleared his throat.

Zhen Dakaya, who was opposite Ruiz, realized that he had missed the topic, and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I made an old mistake again."

Immediately afterwards, she had a playful expression on her face, "Although the Blessed Ones really don't want the outside world to know the existence of the Water of Life, but now in order to deal with those dead souls, those stubborn old people have no choice but to let us take action."

"Water of Life?" Yorick said, "Why don't you let outsiders know about the Water of Life?"

His voice is dull, full of breath, and he speaks with a strong regional accent.

Piot cast doubtful eyes on his boss, hesitantly said: "Because...a curse?"

"Yes, curse!" Zhen Dakaya nodded mysteriously, "This is also the main reason why I invited you here today."

Yorick took out a transparent and glowing vial from the collar of his black robe, "The water of life, the water of the holy spring, according to the brotherhood's name-tears of life, it is a god of healing, where is the curse Say it?"

"Oh my God, I was skeptical from the very beginning, but I didn't expect that your bottle is really the water of life?!" Ayla looked surprised, "Can I have a look?"

"Sorry." Yorick shook his head. "Although the Tears of Life can be replenished, it is too precious. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I cannot give it to outsiders... I mean, you can join the Brotherhood."

He glanced at Ayla's bare head.

"Eh...forget it, I don't want to stay with a bunch of boring men every day..."

Suddenly realizing that her words were inappropriate, Ayla added another sentence: "I don't mean to offend, in fact, I really like the spicy liquor brewed by your brotherhood!"

"Okay, don't take the topic too seriously... wait for me a moment!"

Zhendakaya sneaked into the depths of the workshop and returned within a few seconds. All kinds of debris piled up on the road could not slow down her speed at all.

"Look at this."

What she brought was a draft drawing of the faceless white ghost that Josh and Ryze had encountered.

Recalling the unbearable past, Ruiz's face turned paler, and he began to regret why he took the initiative to participate in this operation.

"This is?" Yorick felt that the pattern on this scroll looked familiar, and said with a frown, "Late one night in the past, I got up to go to the bathroom, and I seemed to have seen such a white ghost in the Twilight Church."

He paused for two seconds, and added: "It's different from all the undead I have seen in my daily life. Those white ghosts...how should I describe it? Instead of returning to rest, they are full of vitality, but this is impossible for the dead. thing.

"The next day I asked the bishop of the Brotherhood, but he kept silent about it and warned me not to explore the source of those white ghosts..."

"That should be the ghost hovering near the source of the water of life collected by your Twilight Brotherhood." Ayla's expression was horrified.

Yorick held up the bottle on his chest, staring thoughtfully at the glowing holy water inside.

"That's the point we're going to talk about today." Zhendakaya became very serious, "The curse of the water of life, it is not only the gift of the Blessed Island, this land to us, but also a curse."

Lifting her chin to Eila, Eila, who had already cooperated tacitly, instantly guessed the intention of Zhendakaya, and said:

"According to the limited information provided to us by Archbishop Margusa, these undead come from the underground of the Shining Light Tower, the source of the fountain of life, the Wanzai Well.

"According to our guess, those wandering weird undead seem to be bound to reality by the water of life after death, unable to return to the spirit world to calm down, but they will be attracted by magic or people who carry the water of life."

At this time, Josh, who had been silent for a long time, interjected: "So, is the task Margusa gave you to destroy these undead?"

"It's not 'you', it's us, we're already in the same group."

Zhendakaya blinked at Josh, the corners of his mouth curled up, and out of nowhere he took out a holy stone crossbow without a launch slot and trigger and held it to the side of his face.

"Bishop Margusa just asked us to investigate the situation of the Wanzai Well, but..." She giggled, "The sentinel's usual behavior is to solve all future troubles!"

……

……

Those holy stone weapons that are made of holy stone, do not need to be loaded with ammunition, and can be activated by will alone have a miraculous effect on the undead.

Of course, this is only the conclusion drawn by the three sentinels through theoretical research and has not yet been put into practice.

Therefore, Josh and Yorick are the backups prepared by Zhendakaya.

One of them has the power of the darkin and can cast powerful runic magic, and the other can communicate with the dead, although they don't know whether the faceless ghosts still have the sanity of the human period.

As for Ryze...

He is just an "add-on", he was not included in Zhendakaya's original plan.

The three sentries are hurrying to complete the final stage of assembling the holy stone weapons.

Taking advantage of this time, Ruiz called Josh out of the door and went to a remote corner at the end of the corridor.

Seeing Ryze's nervous face, pacing back and forth, as if hesitating, Josh shook his head and said, "If you are still afraid of ghosts, I don't recommend you to participate in this operation."

"Not because of this!"

Ryze frowned and smacked his lips, then stood still for a few seconds in silence, and then, as if he had strengthened his confidence, he took out a palm-length coin from his pocket, with a sharp lower end and four prominent symmetrical geometric figures carved on the top. Keystone also engraved with symmetrical arcane runes.

"One of the keystones of the Wanzai Well... I stole it from Greer when I was fighting with him."
