Heart of the Castle

Chapter 856

When that beautiful and melodious voice just sounded in his mind, Bishop Roander's gloomy expression eased, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.However, in a blink of an eye, he suddenly stood up, grabbed the sun-rayed warhammer at his feet, and raised the heavy hammer with one hand, pointing the heavy hammer at the head of Rist Robinson, who claimed to be the Seraph Angel.

"Don't try to use sorcery to affect my judgment, heretic!" His voice was hoarse and ugly, his eyes were covered with a bloody curtain, "I don't know how you broke through my lord! Flandara's blessing, but...get out of my mind now, or I'll kill you!"

"It's really rare. A berserker actually became the bishop of Guangyao. It seems that the high-level officials of Guangyao Temple are not very old-fashioned." There was no wavering in Rist Robinson's voice, even the sword around his waist Without touching it, he just watched Bishop Luander calmly.

The secret hidden deep in his heart was suddenly revealed, Bishop Roander shuddered suddenly, and the Sunlight Warhammer almost fell to the ground. "You... how do you know?" He took a step back, his legs were shaking, and his arms couldn't help shaking.

Commander Layton stepped forward to support Bishop Roander, and then glanced at Rist Robinson's face, he couldn't help but gasped, that ordinary face was undergoing slight changes, becoming handsome and beautiful , radiant, flaxen hair gradually turned into brilliant gold, which seemed to contain a light source, pouring down from his shoulders like a waterfall of molten gold.

This face, paired with the simple and exquisite silver armor and the wings of light stretched behind the shoulders, is completely indistinguishable from the blazing angels depicted on the murals of the Guangyao Temple, plus the pure and incomparable light source power, just standing upright , already made Commander Layton spend all his willpower.

"I admit that Your Excellency Leviston is blessed by the god of the earth, Kagino, and the god of the sky, Tomica, but...when did the blazing angels start to become his subordinates... Could it be that he is really..."

The patron of the gods?
Commander Layton clenched his fists tightly, and a brand new sense of fear suddenly rose in his heart.If the Seraphim obeys the orders of Levi Stone, does it mean that the Lord of Radiance who issued orders through the mouth of His Majesty Pope Nicholas is not the true body of Flandara?

This possibility is so terrifying that even thinking about it is blasphemy, so that as soon as it came to mind, Chief Layton shook his head with all his strength and left it behind.

Endless anger is the source of power for berserkers, and it is also the barrier of their hearts. With the power of anger, Bishop Roander easily resisted the god-like majesty of Restoration Robinson, but another kind of fear At the same time, it fell on him.

That is also the instinct of a berserker, when faced with a completely irresistible strong, this instinct allows the berserker to survive.Fear made bile pour into Bishop Roander's throat, and the nausea made him tremble all over.

"...must escape, must..."

Rist Robinson took a step back suddenly, the golden hair, the silver armor and the wings of light disappeared at the same time, and the blazing angel standing in front of Jean Layton and Roander turned back into an ordinary guard knight, just like everything that happened just now It's like a beautiful nightmare.

"Opportunities don't always wait for those who have doubts." Rist Robinson's voice is still beautiful, but it has lost the warmth like the warm winter sun. "Master Layton, you must face up to the mistakes made by the Temple of Glory under the control of false gods. Have you really not had any doubts about His Majesty Pope Nicholas' actions over the years?"

Chief Layton stared at Rist Robinson uneasy, with intense sparks in his eyes.After nearly a minute of silence, he let out a breath slowly, and then patted Bishop Roander on the shoulder vigorously.

"Indeed, I know." The head of the Judgment Hammer Knights said softly, "His Majesty the Pope has indeed changed a lot in the past few years. Brother Roander, you also have doubts about this, so you gave up the deputy The position of the head of the regiment, enter the sequence of the clergy to find out the reason?"

"No...not." Bishop Luander shuddered again, and lowered the Sunlight Warhammer in his hand, "The reason I left was because I was afraid of involving the brothers of the Hammer of Judgment Knights in danger, after all, I was in my body With the blood of berserkers flowing, once it loses control on the battlefield, it is likely to cause a fatal disaster."

Chief Layton touched his nose in embarrassment, "So that's the case... But Brother Roander, can't you be less honest, or at least talk about it on another occasion?"

Bishop Roander shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "That's difficult, my lord Flandala never taught a devout believer how to lie."

"No, if the Flandala you are talking about is the false god worshiped in the Temple of Radiance, then he taught well." Rist Robinson sarcastically said, "In the face of countless hearts A believer full of light, his spokesperson can suppress everyone's determination to fight against darkness, and stand by and watch Arthur's kingdom fall into war, is the reason he gave so fair? Isn't there a trace of dark and filthy power factor in it?"

This question caused Bishop Roander to shut his mouth tightly, and made Chief Layton's eyes even more bitter. He hesitated for a while, and finally admitted with a sigh, "There is indeed a problem with that order. I remember that there was a problem in the temple. There were many people who objected, but after His Majesty Pope Nicholas held a prayer ceremony, all the voices of opposition disappeared, because our Lord Flandara issued a clear oracle, disapproving of the premature intervention of the Glorious Temple in King Arthur country's war."

"Of course he won't agree, because this false god is responsible for the early arrival of the evil disaster. How could he let you disrupt the plan?" Rist Robinson replied word by word.

If Head Layton hadn't stopped him in time, Bishop Roander would almost have gone berserk again. He gasped heavily, and the sound from his mouth was almost roaring. "What false god? Pagan, you must stop slandering our Lord Flandara! Otherwise, even if you possess legendary power, you will never leave Tarlon Fortress alive!"

"It seems that you don't have the keen mind to see the facts clearly." Rist Robinson shook his head lightly, with a disappointed expression on his expression.

"Evidence, Your Excellency Rist Robinson, I need to see the evidence that my Lord Flandara has been replaced by a false god." Let the eyes of Chief Layton shine, and the voice is cold and hard, almost amiable Frozen gravel makes no difference, "Slandering the gods they believe in in front of devout believers is simply intolerable. If you can't come up with enough convincing evidence, there will be no room for reconciliation between us —It’s nothing but death.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had become extremely stiff, a fine layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Grand Duke Zandora's forehead, but before the veteran politician opened his mouth, Rist Robinson smiled lightly, and then He walked to a crenel on the city wall and sat down.

This action slightly eased the tense atmosphere, but it still made Headmaster Layton and Bishop Roander look very unhappy, and the latter almost even got angry again.

"My accusation is not without evidence, but you must open your eyes and take a look." Rist Robinson looked towards the cloudy sky, and then turned to the direction of the death pass, "There is a horrible His existence is in that direction, Lord Layton, can you feel it?"

Leighton frowned, feeling dissatisfied that the topic had been diverted, but he still forced himself to walk over, also looking in the direction of the Pass of Desperation. "I have a feeling, but it's not very clear... After all, I haven't broken through the barriers of the peak of fighting qi and Tianhua, and reached the point of sanctification of fighting qi. But there is only one terrifying existence as you said? In my feeling, there should be two That's right."

"Are you talking about Ramsdon, the Lord of War and Charlemagne, the Lord of Terror? Both of these guys were defeated by Master Levi, and one of them was chopped into pieces by Sir Rodriguez. Is there anything worth fearing?" Rist Robinson sneered and shook his head, "The terrifying existence I'm talking about is Amur Hydras, the supreme monarch of the Abyss Demon Realm, that is, the fake man who manipulated His Majesty Pope Nicholas. god!"

It made Layton's gaze fluctuate suddenly, "Amur Hydras?" He repeated the name of the Great Lord of the Abyss, and his face became even more gloomy. "I've never heard of this name before, the supreme monarch of the Abyss Demon Realm? Isn't the Abyss Demon Realm controlled by the Seven Lords of the Abyss?"

"Of course not. There must be records in this regard in the Canon of Glory, but because His Majesty Pope Nicholas has been manipulated by Amur Hydras, these records must have been deleted and eliminated, so that almost no one can know."

"Since almost no one can know it, it cannot be regarded as convincing evidence." Jean Layton replied.

"No... this name... Amur Hydras, I know, I have seen it in a fragment of a scripture, this name is called the enemy of light, the supreme embodiment of darkness, the source of all evil, the ultimate The Lord of the End... and..." Bishop Roander swallowed hard, and looked towards the direction of the deadly pass with fear in his eyes, "...Dimalit of the Endless Dark Sun."

"Benevolent Father God!" Commander Layton couldn't help but blurt out, "Endless Dark Sun Dimarit! Isn't that the eternal enemy of the Lord of Radiance, Flandara? They once waged an eternal war that seemed to have no end. , but as early as thousands of years ago, Dimarit was defeated and sealed in the lowest layer of the Light Realm..."

"Endless Dark Sun Dimarit has indeed died, and there is an error in the records on the fragment." Rist Robinson's eyes, like flawless sapphires, shone brightly, "Bishop Roander, I guess The fragment you saw is more than 200 years old, right?"

Bishop Roander had a surprised expression on his face, "That's true, you... how do you know?"

"Maybe I have met the person who wrote that fragment, and talked to him for a while..." Rist Robinson replied with a smile, "More than 200 years ago, at the end of the Dragon War stage, the Endless Dark Sun Dimalit and the Golden Dragon King Lagrange had an extremely tragic fight on the fault of the sky. It was almost extinguished, so he had to use the turbulence of time and space to escape. However, perhaps due to bad luck, the place he finally arrived was not the astral world he wanted to escape temporarily, but the abyss demon realm, and encountered The pinnacle of the Abyss Lord Amur Hydras."

"You mean, Dimarit of the Endless Dark Sun has fallen?" Chief Layton's body shook violently, "No, it's impossible, because..."

"Because he is one body with two sides, and the soul-communicating Lord Flandara still exists?" Rist Robinson's tone suddenly became sharper, "That is to say, you didn't consider that Flandala has fallen at all. , and is it possible to be replaced?"

Commander Layton gasped for breath twice, and leaned his body against the icy crenel of the city wall. Fortunately, the rough and hard touch of the stone made him recover a little bit of sobriety, allowing him to stick to his thoughts. "It's just a possibility, Lord Rist Robinson, it's just a possibility, you haven't convinced me yet."

"Some evidence is too shocking. It is inconvenient for me to show it, and it is difficult for me to gain your trust. However, there is one thing that is undeniable—the purity of power." The Angel of the Sky turned his gaze to Roander, who also had a gloomy face. Bishop, "My lord bishop, what level of magic can you cast now?"

"I can cast the eighth-level divine spell of light, and the seventh-level general divine spell." Bishop Roander took a deep breath, and then added. "This is also the evidence that my lord Flandara has not been replaced by a false god. Only the divine fire is lit, and the false god who has not yet possessed the priesthood cannot bestow such powers. At most, he can only bestow divine spells below the fifth energy level. "

"What if that false god not only just ignited the divine fire, but also devoured the soul fragments of the endless dark sun from the same source as the Lord of Light?" Rist Robinson was very satisfied to see the effect of this sentence—let The blood on the faces of the two senior members of the Guangyao Temple faded away.

"But... this is just your wishful thinking, or... there is still no evidence." Layton's tone seemed a little weak, and it was obvious that the head of the Hammer of Judgment Knights already believed in the Blazing God. What I said, I just haven't convinced myself in the end.

"I'll show you the evidence right away." Rist Robinson said, "Bishop Roander, please cast a divine spell of light with a higher level as possible."

Bishop Roander nodded in bewilderment, "Okay, divine blessing... this is the strongest magic I can perform." Then he softly sang a poem praising the Lord of Radiance to calm his mind, At the same time, it also accumulates the sacred power that it can mobilize.

A ray of pure golden light bloomed from the direction of the sun, tore through the haze of the sky, and projected above the second city wall of Tarlon Fortress.Although the morale of the fortress defenders had been quite low after the first city wall was lost, there were still sporadic cheers from the top and bottom of the city wall when they saw this scene.Several pious apostolic knights immediately knelt on one knee in the direction of the golden light, and began to pray thanksgiving with trembling lips.

Chief Layton looked up at the sky, with a gratified smile in his eyes, "Brother Roander, your ability to cast divine spells seems to have improved again. It seems that you will be able to break through the ninth level in a short time. The limit of energy-level magic has reached the level of being a cardinal candidate."

"Holy blessing, very good light magic." Rist Robinson judged in an authoritative tone, "The ability to accelerate wound healing, relieve pain and stop bleeding, boost morale and deter dark creatures at the same time can be called the eighth ability. It is the most practical type of super-level magic, the only flaw is that it is more difficult to perform, and it can even be compared to some weaker ninth-level magic."

"Thank you very much for your approval, Your Excellency Rist Robinson." After successfully performing the high-level divine art of divine blessing, Bishop Roander's confidence seemed to recover a bit, and his tone became much tougher, "But it's not important, The important thing is that my magic has been cast, where is the evidence you want to show us?"

"It's right here." Rist Robinson said, stretching out his hands facing the sky, wisps of golden light emerged in the air, and wings of light appeared behind him again, "Look carefully, you What is hidden in the magic spell that is cast!"

Accompanied by the ethereal singing from Rist Robinson's mouth, the golden light of divine protection suddenly became much dimmer... No, it's not dim, but there are a lot of extremely subtle dark red in the original pure gold color The lines, these lines outline complicated and strange symbols, making Captain Layton squint his eyes and look at those symbols for a few seconds, and suddenly feel dizzy, if he didn't happen to hold on to the crenel of the city wall with his hands, he would almost fall to the ground.

"My lord Flandara, what's going on here? How could my magic become like this... What the hell have you done?" Bishop Roander's expression was very ferocious, his breathing was heavy, and his eyes were blurred. Once a red light appeared.

"Is it my fault? Don't you know?" Rist Robinson's voice sounded from the mind of Bishop Luander, like the sound of heaven, washing away his fear and resistance, "Pay attention carefully, quietly Perception, haven't you discovered what these dark red lines are and where they emerged from?"

"It's...it's the power of the abyss..." Bishop Luander's face looked very ugly, and it took all the strength of his whole body to spit out every word, "I...I can feel the source of these powers, which is faith! What permeates my faith is actually the power from the Demonic Abyss Realm!"
