Heart of the Castle

Chapter 238 Destroying Two Letters from the Altar
"Brother who has gone astray? Ah, yes, the deceased is indeed the same as the comforter, and they believe in the long-sleeping guide Ku Ximo as their god, but they have great differences in the teachings of Ku Ximo. Disagreement, once we meet, the only idea is to send the other party to the Eternal Sleeping Guide, and let the gods judge whether the other party's belief is correct." Pastor Fallon breathed a sigh of relief, and the last doubt about Master Frederick Also erased.

The timing of the appearance of the soul comforter is indeed too coincidental, but the plague in North Aura has been prevalent for quite a long time, presumably the soul comforter has passed the information to the superiors of the organization, which can explain why this Fett Master Lie will appear here.

"Thank you, my lord Tomika, for your guidance." Pastor Faron closed his eyes, paying the utmost respect to the God of the Sky, and then suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he opened his eyes again, looking around in a panic sweep away.

He saw Mr. Will, the Grand Knight, sitting against the wall, his face was pale, but he was in good spirits; Captain Els was sitting next to Mr. Will, his upper body armor had been taken off, and he was holding a sheepskin Water sac, gulping down shochu; the hag leader Stiba huddled in a dark corner, talking to the stubby Babrupa.These people all escaped from the power of the death ripple, but the others...

More than a dozen bodies dressed in storm priest robes and pointed hats lay quietly on the ground, shoulder to shoulder, with calm and peaceful expressions on their faces, as if they were in deep sleep.Pastor Fallon walked up to them with trembling legs, his expression seemed very sad, but there was also a hint of hope.

The faces touched by his fingers were all icy cold. Pastor Fallon stared at them for a long time before suddenly turning around as if awakened from a dream.

"Are they all dead?"

"Sorry, Priest Faron. Although we tried our best to rescue them, we used healing spells and wiped their bodies with strong wine, hoping to save even one more person. But among all the storm priests, only you survived Come down." Li Wei walked to the pastor's side in a somewhat depressed mood, and replied softly.

"Master Frederick, can't even you revive them?" Pastor Fallon held out his hand to the white-robed master soul comforter with the last hope.

"I can do nothing, the servant of the God of the sky, my lord Kuximu has not given me the power to bring the dead back to life." Master Frederick replied solemnly, while speaking, he lowered his head slightly, and the hood rose and fell accordingly.

"My lord Tomica, my lord Tomica!" Pastor Fallon couldn't help but prayed in a low voice to the god he believed in, "Thundermaster, your reputation is far-reaching, and you have broken the sky. In this sad moment, your servants here humbly beg you, use your golden lightning to frighten the eyes of darkness, please point the way for these faithful servants of yours, and guide their souls to enter the holy kingdom of heaven!"

At first there was much sorrow in Reverend Fallon's voice, but as the prayer progressed his eyes lit up and his face shone with light.He seemed to see translucent souls emerging from the corpses of these storm priests, surrounded by golden thunder, and then slowly rising into the sky under the guidance of an extraordinarily tall holy spirit.

The prayers stopped slowly, and Pastor Fallon regained his strength, and turned his gaze to the altar of bones that still stood in front of him.

"Master Frederick, the deceased once said that as long as this altar and the blood-red ball of light on it are destroyed, the curse of the plague that is currently threatening North Orla can be broken. But I can't fully believe that a person who devoted himself to Regarding what the dark one said, please judge with wise eyes, is this statement true?"

"Although that brother has gone too far on the dark wrong path, he has not degenerated to the point of using lies to cover up his wrong actions." The white-robed soul comforter inspected the bone altar, and then said in an affirmative tone. Out of judgment. "This altar is indeed the key to the curse of the epidemic, but there is a lot of negative energy in the blood-colored light above it. If the altar is destroyed at will, the negative energy that loses its restraint will turn the land within a radius of more than ten kilometers into A wilderness of disease and death."

"That's impossible. Our homeland is within this range. If anyone wants to do this, the aborigines of our Rotten Swamp will never agree!" The hag leader Stiba in the corner suddenly protested with a high voice.

"Leader Stiba, please don't be impatient. We will not sacrifice the interests of our allies in exchange for our own safety." Li Wei's voice sounded, calming the emotion of the agitated leader Stiba.The old hag raised the bone cane and put it down again, "You said it, human boy. Stiba believes that you will not break your promise."

"But what about North Ora?" Captain Els put down his wine bag and walked over, "As long as this pile of bones exists for one more day, hundreds more people will die in North Ora. We don't have the time to find a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Now I have a way to destroy the altar without letting the negative energy of the curse spread." Master Frederick stretched out his hands that had been hidden in his sleeves, pointing to the altar.There were dots of silver light on those hands, and Pastor Fallon's eyes immediately fell on his hands, and at the same time he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

It turned out to be the same as the accuser not long ago, a pair of bony hands.

"The Lich! No...it's the Exalted Lich!" Although the high-ranking Storm Priest yelled in surprise, he immediately changed his words, and the sense of awe in his voice was much stronger than before.

The exalted lich is the complete opposite of a lich in the usual sense, and has completely the memory and kind character of a lifetime.Only those who possess the dual identities of a great magister and a senior soul comforter can receive the gift of Ku Ximu, the long-sleeping guide, and become this kind of undead creature that is not so much an undead, but rather a holy spirit.Usually, the Venerable Liches stay temporarily because their missions in the world are not completed, and when they complete their missions, they will immediately enter the Kingdom of Eternal Night in Dry Ximo, and become noble guests beside the throne of the Sleeping Guide .

"The design of this altar of bones is quite perfect, but in front of me, a master soul comforter who is well versed in the way of death, there are still flaws that can be exploited." Master Frederick did not care about Pastor Faron's impoliteness, but explained Then, he took off his hood, revealing the face of a skeleton.But when the beating blue-white flames in his eyes fell into the eyes of Priest Fallon, the priest became more relaxed.

One of the biggest differences between an Exalted Lich and a Lich is the color of the soul fire, a characteristic that is almost impossible to hide.Coupled with Master Frederick's gentle and polite attitude, Pastor Fallon felt a burst of regret for the suspicion that had just arisen in his heart.

"Master Frederick, please do as you please. What do we need to do to crack this altar?" Wilpus walked over and said, the face of the Grand Knight Commander looked a little pale, but the fiery red grudge on his body Most of the light has recovered.

"This altar has been combined with the entire tower ruins. It is very difficult to destroy the altar alone, but it is much easier together with the tower. As for the cursed energy, it is not a problem, I can make it disappear now." The master soul comforter in the white robe said, shaking his ten fingers in the air, and drawing out mysterious runes shining with bluish-white light. These runes condensed into strings in the air, and then flew towards the blood-red light ball in strings. passed, and was instantly glued to it.

Seeing the blood-red light group slowly being covered by runes, Pastor Fallon suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Li Wei: "Master Frederick said just now that the ruins of this tower should be destroyed together, so that If so, let’s quickly search here to see if there are any clues about why the organization of the dead wants to attack Beola.”

The young knight nodded and replied: "When we rescued everyone just now, Babrupa has already looked here. Apart from some ritual props and magic items used by the deceased, there are only these two letters." Then, Li Wei took out two sheepskin scrolls from his arms and handed them to Pastor Faron.

Priest Fallon looked at the two sheepskin scrolls, and they didn't look like the kind of beautifully bound scrolls used to record important documents or spell information.This is normal, after all, the price of that special scroll is really high, and it seems too luxurious to use it for daily communication.He was about to untie the silk rope that bound the scroll to watch, but suddenly heard a slightly surprised voice from Master Frederick.

"Oh, it's interesting, it actually binds the curse energy with the altar." The white-robed master soul comforter said appreciatively. Smile.

"Everyone, I just successfully cracked the cursed energy, and now it will no longer bring any harm here."

"Thank you Father God!" "Praise be to the one who is in charge of Thunder!" "God of War Barud bless you!" "Thank you, the Rotten Swamp is saved!"

Everyone's cheers just started, and I heard Master Frederick's voice that seemed a little embarrassed: "However, there is also a small problem. This energy is bound to the altar of bones, and now the structure of the altar has also collapsed. , and the Bone Altar is inseparable from the ruins of this tower, so..."

"Father God! This place is going to collapse!" Babrupa jumped up like a groundhog whose tail was stepped on, and rushed out along the spiral downward stone steps.The others looked at each other, and they all let out a cry, and rushed towards the steps as fast as they could.
