Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 962 The Chase (Part 2)

Storm City, as the holy city of the entire Storm Church, is itself a miracle bestowed by the gods.

At this moment, in the Storm Temple in the heart of this holy city, a tall and imposing figure stood by the window, gazing up at the pale, raging winds surrounding the city.

The lights poured down from above, illuminating his short, silver-gray hair, which was as sharp as steel needles. Beneath the hair was a chiseled, resolute face with deep-set eyes and a high, straight nose. His tightly pressed lips, sagged downwards due to the looseness of his facial skin, gave his entire face an air of imposing authority.

This is none other than Augusta Maplewood, the current Pope of the Church of Storms. Those familiar with him know what a terrifying storm lies beneath his calm face.

"唳~~"

Suddenly, a cry, inaudible to mortals, pierced the gale and entered Augusta's ears.

He looked up in the direction of the cry and saw a large, agile, bluish-black bird emerge from the gale, like a bluish-black streak across the sky, flying towards the temple where he was without stopping.

A few seconds later, the bluish-black remnant descended, and Augusta reached out, letting the large bluish-black bird land on his arm.

The large, dark blue bird preened its feathers, then opened its beak and spat out a metal tube.

Augusta took the metal tube, pulled out the stopper, and poured out a parchment scroll.

He unfolded it, glanced at it briefly, and then his thick, sharp eyebrows furrowed.

Without him making any move, the parchment in his hand seemed to be finely sliced ​​by a dense wind blade, turning into dust and disappearing into his palm.

“Send the Inquisition to issue an entry request to the Church of Doom and bring those three heretics back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a black-armored warrior with barely perceptible aura emerged from the shadows behind him, kneeling on one knee with his head bowed.

Then, a black vortex appeared beneath him, slowly engulfing him.

"etc."

Augusta's eyes reflected the howling sky. "If necessary, we must demand that the Church of Doom act in concert. The majesty of our Lord must not be defiled, and heretics must be destroyed in the Pillar of Divine Punishment."

The black-armored warrior behind him nodded again, and a black whirlwind completely engulfed his body.

After the black-armored warriors behind him disappeared, Augusta put his hands back behind his back, tiny streams of air flowing nimbly between his fingertips, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"Have the alien gods, who have been dormant for so long, started to become active again?"
Hopefully, this time, you can give me a different experience.

Gao Yang didn't really care whether the birds were good or bad. As long as they didn't bother him, cause him trouble, or waste his time, that was enough for him.

Although he could most likely handle trouble if someone tried to cause him trouble, he didn't want to face a situation where he had to deal with the smaller ones first, and then the bigger ones, and then the older ones.

Moreover, given the sheer number of legends in this forgotten realm, there's a high probability of encountering this situation.

This is why he had previously spoken well with the legends of the Church of Storms.

He came here solely to pursue his unique skill, not to engage in violence.

At that time, being wanted by the Church of Storms for killing these three legends would undoubtedly hinder his progress.

As before, by flexing one's muscles to "persuade" the other party without creating further trouble, it is more time-saving and labor-saving.

Of course, if someone is looking for death, he wouldn't mind losing a few more lives.

You Miao glanced back at the now-obscured checkpoint, then composed herself and followed Gao Yang into the Doom Sect's domain.

The scenery in the Doom Domain was not much different from that in the Storm Domain, and knowing their destination, Gao Yang and You Miao were able to move much faster.

In less than half a day, the two appeared at the foot of a magnificent city.

The thick, towering city walls, the spirited church guards, and the smiling pedestrians together make up this vibrant city.

Gao Yang's steps did not falter even in the face of this vibrant city. After confirming that he had not gone the wrong way, he walked straight into the city with You Miao.

Half an hour later, Gao Yang and You Miao appeared in front of the Misfortune Merchant Guild, with a local guide standing to their side with a big smile on his face.

You Miao casually flicked out a magic crystal shard, which the latter happily stuffed into his pocket before discreetly blending into the crowd on the street.

Gao Yang stepped into the chamber of commerce that shared the same name as the Church of Doom. The interior of the chamber of commerce was very large, but the lighting was not bright, making it seem somewhat gloomy.

Upon seeing the guests enter, a beautiful waitress approached with a gentle smile on her pretty face and asked softly, "Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

You Miao couldn't help but glance at the waiter a few more times. To be fair, the waiter of this top-tier business guild was also top-notch. If he were in China, he could easily be a beauty blogger with millions of followers.

In particular, the latter is so gentle and charming, which makes her even more appealing.

Gao Yang remained expressionless, merely glancing at her before stating directly, "The Divine Turtle Journey, two people."

"You two, please come with me."

Upon hearing this, the waitress's smile became even more radiant, and she immediately turned around and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Divine Turtle Journey was not something obscure or taboo, so after accepting four hundred magic crystals, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce confidently stated that he would deliver the two distinguished guests to the Divine Turtle in the shortest possible time.

Gao Yang sat on the large sofa, and upon hearing this, looked at the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce opposite him and asked, "President Robert, where is the Undying Turtle at present?"

How long will it take to get there?

Robert, unsuspecting, quickly replied, "The Undying Turtle has already reached the Death Domain. In two more months, it will move from the Death Domain to the Ocean Domain, which is the easternmost domain of the entire Forgotten Realm and the place of worship of the Ocean God."

Over the next two years, the Immortal Turtle will travel to the far east of the Sea of ​​Oblivion.

That will also mark the start of the entire Trial of the Heroes.

Robert paused for a moment, then looked at Gao Yang and asked confidently, "You two guests must have come to watch the Trial of the Hero, right?"

Gao Yang nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, if I have the chance, I will definitely take a look at such a grand event."

Robert laughed and said, "That's perfect. The Turtle Tour itinerary isn't too tight. Although it's about following the turtles, the turtles' movements don't change much, so in each city, guests will have some time to experience the local customs and culture."

I hope both guests have a pleasant journey ahead.

"When can we set off?" Gao Yang asked.

Robert paused for a few seconds, seemingly calculating the time required.

After a moment, he looked at Gao Yang and the other person and said slowly, "Well, I'll get your passes ready this afternoon. Tomorrow, the Chamber of Commerce guards will escort you two guests all the way to the Death Domain. Along the way, you'll have to pass through the Darkness, the Sky, and the Life Domain. Including travel time, it will take about fifteen days."

Because of the distinguished status of the two guests, the Misfortune Merchant Guild treated them with the utmost respect, sending an entire team of guild guards to escort them to the location of the Undying Turtle at top speed.

Robert added a final, deliberate point to satisfy the vanity of the two wealthy patrons on the other side.

Gao Yang nodded and said succinctly, "Arrange it as soon as possible, Chairman Robert."

Robert nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, please rest assured. In addition, to show our sincerity, why don't you two stay at the Chamber of Commerce's guesthouse tonight? The Chamber of Commerce will arrange everything for you two guests."

"No need. We'll arrive at sunrise tomorrow morning, and hopefully we can set off immediately then."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

Robert also quickly stood up and opened the door to the reception room for Gao Yang.

Robert walked them all the way to the Chamber of Commerce gate before stopping and watching them walk away.

Robert's smile faded slightly only after the two figures were out of sight. As he walked back to his office, he said to the man behind him, "Give the order to expedite the travel arrangements for the two guests. They will be departing tomorrow morning."

"Yes, President."

Silent all night.

The next morning, as the sun shone on the city of Misfortune, Gao Yang and You Miao appeared at the Misfortune Merchant Guild.

Robert stood in front of Gao Yang with a smile and said, "Greetings, both of you. The guards and the convoy have all been arranged, and you are ready to depart at any time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Chairman Robert."

Gao Yang exchanged a few polite words and, led by Robert, boarded the metal carriage engraved with the emblem of the Church of Doom.

At the front and rear of the metal carriage stood four imposing merchant knights, each exuding an aura of extraordinary power, their warhorses standing over two and a half meters tall at the shoulders, their bodies bulging with muscles.

These are the escorts from the Misfortune Merchant Guild. Their mission is to escort Gao Yang and his group to the Death Domain to meet up with the Divine Turtle Journey's convoy.

The presence of eight exceptionally skilled and fully armed merchant knights made for a truly luxurious guard lineup.

Accompanied by the neighing of warhorses, the squad set off in the morning light.

You Miao sat in the carriage and shook her head.

In the past few days, he felt that some of his already vague memories were becoming even more blurred, as if they were about to be completely erased from his mind at any moment.

Having learned about the situation in the Realm of Oblivion, he naturally understood that this was the beginning of the rules of this world taking effect.

As time goes by, he will forget more and more things, until he forgets his name, his origins, and so on completely.

Honestly, the feeling of sensing one's own memories gradually fading away, yet being unable to take any effective measures, is truly awful.

In response, You Miao could only counteract this negative emotion by practicing even harder.

Phil, the cat spirit who is obsessed with kendo, is in the same situation as him.

However, because Phil was stronger than You Miao at the moment, his forgetting was neither fast nor obvious.

Because of their financial power, Gao Yang and his caravan moved extremely fast.

Not to mention the extraordinary speed of the guards, even the magical beasts pulling their carts are extraordinary magical beasts, with top-notch speed, endurance, and explosive power.

Compared to the Gale Serpent, this elite merchant squad was far faster.

On the afternoon of the second day after Gao Yang and You Miao left the City of Misfortune, a group of black-armored knights arrived at the Church of Misfortune in the city.

There were only ten of them, but with their arrival, the entire city of Shishi fell into absolute silence.

The black armor engraved with storm patterns revealed the newcomer's identity as a Judgment Knight of the Storm Church, and a Judgment Knight leader chosen from among thousands!
This team of Judgment Knights is composed of individuals at the legendary level, and none of them are weak among the legendary level.

In other words, if these Judgment Knights wished, they could wipe the entire City of Timelessness from the land of the Forgotten Realm in a very short time.

Less than five minutes after the arrival of the Judgment Knights, a cold snort resounded across the sky, and the residents of the city of Shishi saw a violent tornado rise into the sky, along with the Storm Church Judgment Knights who had just arrived.

As the storm swept away the Storm Church's Knights of Judgment, suppressed discussions quickly blossomed in every corner of the city.

In just half a day, various fruits began to grow and spread rapidly throughout the City of Time-Defying Events.

Some say that these Storm Temple's Judgment Knights are arresting heretics.

Some say these storm riders have come to deliver a war notice, and a new round of war of faith is about to begin.

Some even say that the Bishop of Misfortune in the City of Out of Time stole from the Church of Storms, and these Judgment Knights came to settle scores.

Undoubtedly, this "fruit" was the most widely circulated and accepted by the masses in the City of Time-Defying Events.

On the morning of the fourth day, Gao Yang's convoy had successfully left the territory of the Doom Church and arrived in the faith domain of the Dark Church.

With the passes prepared in advance by the Doom Merchant Guild, passing through the checkpoints was incredibly smooth, without encountering any obstacles.

Just an hour after Gao Yang's merchant guild caravan left, the Storm Church's Judgment Knights arrived at the checkpoint of the Doom and Dark Domain.

After a brief questioning, the leading knight of judgment looked grim.

When they came out, they only applied for arrest authority from the Doom Domain, not from the Dark Domain.

But who could have imagined that the two heretics would move so quickly? Just an hour before they caught up, they passed through the checkpoint and entered the Dark Cult Domain.

They can no longer catch up, because the people within the Dark Cult will not allow it.

“Reply to His Holiness the Pope and apply for access to the remaining five domains, otherwise we will never catch up with those heretics.”

"As ordered!"
