The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 106 How much is faith worth?

"Great Lord of the Holy Blazing Sun, I pray for the coming of the Holy Light..."

"...Your devout believer, pray for the Holy Shield to strengthen my body..."

"Great divine power..."

As the voices of prayers rose and fell, they merged into a torrent.

A mysterious being from above the heavens responded.

The scorching light of the Holy Sun appeared on the bodies of the knights, priests, divine magicians, spellcasters and many other believers of the Holy Sun Church.

For a moment, the entire sacrificial area was filled with holy light.

The knight holding the knight's lance and wielding the knight's sword cooperates with the priest, the divine magician and the spellcaster behind him.

A few unlucky evil spirits that rushed in quickly were purified on the spot.

But then, large numbers of evil creatures began to pour in.

The black fog of death that also surged over also had a head-on confrontation with the sacred blazing sun.

For a while, the battle between the two sides was difficult to determine.

Evil spirits and creatures are constantly being eliminated.

There were also knights who were dragged into the black fog of death and were torn to pieces after screaming.

Although there are quite a few knights and spellcasters who have joined together.

But the powerful evil creatures in [Evil Spirit Disaster] are endless.

As time goes by, there will only be more and more.

The knights who were fighting against the evil creatures on the front line soon couldn't hold on any longer.

Although their holy light can dispel the black fog of death to a certain extent.

However, the black fog that surged like a tide and enveloped them from all directions quickly extinguished the knights' holy light.

There is no need to think about the fate of the Church Knight who fell into the black fog of death.

First, the lethal properties of the black fog caused him to die quickly.

Then the fresh flesh and blood were quickly devoured and absorbed by the evil spirits.

After his death, his soul was absorbed by the [Evil Spirit Disaster].

Part of it becomes the energy for the ritual, and part of it becomes the nourishment for the [evil wizard].

The ever-approaching death forced the knights to retreat again and again.

Even if they didn't want to retreat, the constantly surging black fog of death forced them to retreat.

Honor belongs to the church, but life is your own.

If you can't fight hard and even lose your life, how can you enjoy the power and wealth that comes with the status of a church knight?

"You damned knights, why are you retreating? Charge out and teach those evil spirits a lesson!"

A fourth-level priest shouted angrily.

But the knights avoided the priest one after another, each with an embarrassed look on their face.

"Father, it's not that we don't want to rush out, it's just that the black fog is too toxic."

"Indeed, a brave knight has already helped us test it. Once they are touched by the black fog, they will basically lose their combat effectiveness."

"Father, the black fog is approaching. We should...we should take a long-term approach!"

It seemed that he also felt the terrifying aura of the black fog that was constantly pressing in from outside.

The fourth-level priest in charge of the curtain door of the ceremony turned around and quickly opened the curtain door frame. Everyone rushed in, fearing that they would be stopped outside.

Inside the curtain ceremony!
With his arms folded in front of his chest and his heavy sword slanted behind him, the level 5 peak knight "Relov" leaned against the stone pillar and looked at the knights who fled in in a panic.

He showed an undisguised smile on his face and even almost laughed out loud.

Even when he saw the High Priest not far away with a gloomy face that looked like it was about to ooze water, he did not restrain himself in the slightest.

"The results of the church's knight reform are truly eye-opening!"

Grand Knight Commander Rylov sighed softly

Over the past decade, especially in recent years.

"His Majesty the Pope" of Saint Simon and the "high-ranking church officials" there increasingly felt that these low-level members of the Knights Templar were of no use in the northern border.

Therefore, the knights' benefits were deducted again and again.

To prevent the knights from complaining.

The command authority of these great knights and knight commanders was cut again and again.

Although Grand Knight Commander Rylov did not understand the relationship between the two.

The Pope even wanted to get involved in the tax revenue of the church branch in the Republic of Otanston.

That daring and crazy guy stretched his hands over the "God's tax".

When you don’t get enough resources from the church to grow.

The extraordinary knights of the church naturally began to cooperate with those chambers of commerce and nobles.

Even some extraordinary knights of the church would privately start their own small businesses.

For example, start a knight summer camp, form a knight club, etc.

He possesses the strength and power of an extraordinary knight, as well as the wealth that comes with this identity.

Nowadays, the knights in the northern borderland no longer believe in the Holy Sun.

Serving in the church is just a job.

How much is faith worth?

Can you support your family?

Today's knights are good at fighting when the wind is favorable.

Once the intensity increases and the sacrifices have to be calculated, the knights will start to wonder whether it is worth it!

Some hesitation!

The knights' charge was no longer powerful.

The knights' holy swords were no longer sharp.

Even... the knights' faith can only be maintained on the surface.

Rylov saw it clearly.

These holy light powers floating on the surface are no match for the terrifying black fog of death.

Only the holy light that blooms from the sequence deep in the heart can be indestructible.

But such knights had long ago died in battles with powerful enemies.

"Master Knight, you better reorganize these knights as soon as possible!"

The "high priest" whose face almost turned black glanced at the Grand Knight Commander Rylov and said coldly.

Grand Knight Commander Rylov then slowly moved his shoulders away from the stone pillar and picked up the heavy sword.

He still had to carry out the orders of the high priest who had supervisory responsibilities, otherwise he would be reported again!

Of course, he was not afraid of the other party reporting him.

Who made his younger brother the archdeacon of the Fog District Cathedral in Ogland City?
correct!

It is worth mentioning that his brother-in-law is His Excellency Bishop Andrew Burke of Ogland City.

A few days ago, he gave his sister the 6000 gold pounds he had obtained from the seizure of the Sun Church's assets.

That night, after Bishop Andrew Burke came back, he happily opened a bottle of "Blood Flame Wine" that was privately delivered from Saint Simon.

Just flick the glass and blood flames will burst out from it.

It is said that this bottle is worth 138 gold pounds, and the taste is unforgettable.

These days, without some status and connections, you absolutely cannot gain a foothold in the church.

Once upon a time, he was also a "Sun Knight"!
Willing to sacrifice one's life for one's beliefs.

And now, he is just a "pay knight" who works for money.

"Hey! All of you knights, come here quickly! The high priest is calling you to assemble!"

He shouted loudly.

After a while, the knights swarmed over.

at this time.

The thick black fog has completely covered the entire altar curtain area.

"Chichichi..."

The black fog of death collided directly with the curtain barrier, and the power of annihilation hissed.

Then, "Bang, bang, bang..."

“Clang…clang…”

Various attacks fell from the black fog of death onto the curtain barrier.

And the attacks are increasing.

Soon, Grand Knight Commander Rylov.

High Priest "Theodore".

The divine magician "Jerome".

The three of them gathered behind the small pyramid ceremony.

A light curtain prevented others from eavesdropping on their secret conversation.

Although the three of them don't get along well with each other.

But at this moment, it is a matter of life and death.

"There's a Level 4 Evil Spirit Catastrophe out there. A Level 4 Knight in the Death Mist will lose their combat capability if they encounter it. What should we do?"

The high priest "Theodore" lowered his voice.

"The threat of Level 4 [Evil Spirit Catastrophe] is enormous."

The one who spoke was the divine magician "Jerome".

"Also, when the evil spirit disaster struck, a knight sent a distress signal to the outside world, but it was blocked by strange means."

“There’s no point in holding on.”

"Even if we hold on, we may not be able to hold this place."

"As time goes by, the black fog of death released by the [Evil Spirit Catastrophe] outside will become thicker and thicker."

"You've all witnessed the previous evil spirit disasters. If left unchecked, the boundary area can exist permanently after it is formed. It will serve as the anchor of the disaster area to the real world."

"And our ritual veil barrier..."

As he spoke, the divine magician "Jerome" glanced outside.

“It’s being consumed rapidly.”

"So, my opinion is to evacuate as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

The divine magician "Jerome" finished his story.

The high priest "Theodore" on the side looked at the Grand Knight "Reloff".

Grand Knight Commander Rylov smiled.

"I think we agree on this one thing at least."

"Ok!"

High Priest Theodore nodded.

"In that case, let's notify everyone as soon as possible to prepare for retreat."

They may not have enough patience and willpower to fight against strong enemies.

But when it comes to protecting themselves, they will do their best.

As for the treasure inside.

What treasure?
That's totally a devil's curse!

Just when a few people began to organize manpower.

boom! boom! boom!
Several consecutive surging thunder hammers slammed heavily onto the ritual curtain barrier.

The divine magician "Jerome" looked at the death thundercloud outside and frowned slightly.

"It's Francis, that damned [Evil Spirit Divine Magician]. He's not dead after all."

at the same time.

The outline of [Evil Spirit·Theurgist] Francis vaguely emerged.

He guided the death thunderclouds to release various attack spells.

While roaring madly.

"Damn Holy Sun, you killed so many people from our Sun Church."

"My mentor, my friends, they all died in your hands."

"All enemies who have offended our [Sun Church] will die today under my [Evil Spirit Catastrophe]."

While roaring, he cast his magic more and more desperately, causing the ritual curtain barrier to shake continuously.

[Evil Spirit·Theurgist] Francis performed very hard.

But the church members inside ignored them and now they just wanted to escape.

Deep in the black fog of death.

Just as Zorn was wondering whether to cast a forbidden spell to help Francis attack.

Suddenly.

The ceremonial curtain was opened.

A powerful force of forbidden holy light technique quickly pushed away a large area of black fog of death.

Then this group of people fled outside at an extremely fast speed.

"Hooho..."

"Hiss..."

"Ow..."

The evil creatures roared and swarmed in pursuit.

Watching the people from the Holy Sun Church fleeing quickly.

Zorn was stunned at first, but after examining it for a moment, he smiled with relief.

He was naturally aware of the situation within the Holy Sun Church.

The Sacred Sun, which could collapse at any time, has long lost the ability to fight tough battles.

Moreover, they could not defeat this fourth-level evil spirit disaster, and escape was their best choice.

Zorn expected them to flee, but he had not expected them to flee so quickly.

It is simply "turning like the wind".

"I'm afraid... the civil unrest within the Holy Sun will come even faster than we imagined."

Zorn pondered secretly.

"When the old order collapses and the founders of the new order emerge, that's when the true Shura Field begins!"

"Master, do you want to chase them down?"

Alvin emerged and came to Zorn's side and asked.

"If we can drive them out with the evil spirits, our strategic goal will be achieved."

"It doesn't matter how many more or fewer people are killed."

"Besides, the evil spirits have already killed enough extraordinary people from the church. There's no need to force those masters into a corner and expect them to spread the news about Francis!"

At this time, thousands of extraordinary lost people who had been harvested by Zorn had successfully condensed the immortal holy marks of disaster in the chapter of Oglan City. This is the benefit of having more sacrifices.

As the ritual curtain barrier opened, the black fog of death seeped in.

Soon, the ritual lighthouses were extinguished by the black fog of death.

The location of the treasure door was completely exposed at this moment.

This is an "oak stump" with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of more than five meters.

On the trunk of the oak tree, where the bark has fallen off, are the patterns that Zorn had originally carved.

The correct ritual secret words were not mastered.

No matter how much resources and time the Holy Sun Church invests here, it will be in vain.

Light two black candles.

Place them in the two demon eye sockets of the treasure gate.

In an instant, the demon head in the door frame seemed to come back to life.

Zorn began to whisper the correct incantation of the ancient god Tyus.

Not long!
"Kakaka..."
