Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 243 242. Tragedy
At the turn of late spring and early summer, the wind and cloud changed in many stages. This night, the thunder continued to explode in the sky, the wind howled, and the heavy rain drifted, turning the world into a swamp country.

In the dark night, when thunder and lightning shone across the sky, a silver-white figure with golden lines moving at a high speed appeared to show a little trace. In front of the holy building, the figure raised his head with an anthropomorphic disdain flashing on his face before rushing into the building.

Immediately there were bursts of screams from inside the building, but it soon returned to calm, only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, the sound of doors and windows colliding with the wind, and the roar of thunder in the sky .

In the thunder light, one can vaguely see the white figure with the golden line moving at a high speed, leaving Poper Town and continuing towards other villages and towns.

That night, the wind howled, the thunder roared, and the rain was heavy.

The next day, a huge red sun hung in the sky early in the morning, and the blue sky seemed to have been washed, and smelling the fragrance of soil, grass and trees after the rain made people feel refreshed and full of vitality.The leaders came out one after another carrying tools, carefully avoiding the stagnant water on the ground, and began to run around for a day's livelihood.

When several Lingmin believers in Poper Town passed by the Temple of the Moonlight Goddess, they habitually prepared to enter the temple to pray to the great Moonlight Goddess before going to work.

As a result, when they walked to the Temple of the Moonlight Goddess, the beautiful and elegant moon-white gate made of moon birch that should have been opened long ago was still tightly closed at this time, as if to announce to everyone that the temple is closed to the public today. Works the same.

The believers did not dare to go up and call for the door, but stood at the door and prayed silently, then turned and left.

On the second day, the third day, and until the fifth day, the white gate was still tightly closed, and no one saw priests or knights coming in or out of the temple these days.The believers panicked immediately, and hurriedly called the guards to explain the situation and wanted to check the situation inside the temple.

The guards didn't dare to break into the temple privately, so they could only report the situation to Baron Lanitus.Baron Lanitus didn't like these ambitious lunatics who couldn't be offended. He wished they were all dead. How could he be in the mood to care about their lives?
It wasn't until the next few days that the following villages and towns came to report the same strange situation in the Temple of the Moonlight Goddess, that Baron Lanitus realized that something was wrong, and immediately sent his chief guard to check the situation.

The chief guard brought two teams of guards to the gate of the Temple of Moonlight. Before knocking on the door, he could already smell a faint smell of blood and rotting corpses.

The head of the guard was startled and hurried forward to put his ear on the gate to listen carefully, but found that there was a dead silence inside and immediately shouted command: "Guards, surround the temple and don't let anyone approach!" Then he hurriedly thought of Baron Lanitus Went to report.

"What? They're all dead?" Baron Lanitus suddenly stood up when he heard the chief guard's report, his thin face was full of horror, "Who is so brave to be so cruel to those lunatics? ~This is going to pierce the sky!"

Immediately, Baron Lanitus stared at the chief guard and asked, "You didn't go in, did you?"

The chief guard hurriedly shook his head: "This subordinate noticed the situation when he walked to the gate. He checked the gate a little and did not enter the temple. And I ordered the guards to protect the temple and forbid others to approach."

Baron Lannister nodded with a gloomy face and said: "Very well, you immediately arrange double the guards to seal off all the temples of the Moonlight Goddess that have accidents in the territory and do not let anyone approach them. At the same time, check whether there are any living Moonlights in the territory." If there are priests or knights of the Temple of God, take them to the scene of the incident and explain the situation clearly, if not, send someone to Wellington immediately to report the situation to the Temple of Moonlight.

And I will write a letter right away, and you will send it to Viscount Modu immediately, and at the same time, I will also find out if there are similar situations in other territories. "

"Yes, Lord Baron!" The chief guard was about to leave after Baron Lanitus wrote the letter, when he heard the order from the Baron: "Mobilize the Lightning Knights to enter the town and guard the castle!"

The chief guard was startled, looked at the expression on the baron's face and hurriedly lowered his head and said loudly: "Yes!" Then he left in a hurry.

Baron Lanitus sat on a chair and looked out of the window with a gloomy expression. The sky that had just cleared up did not know when it turned gloomy again. Thick dark clouds rolled over, and thunder was brewing in it.Just settled down, is it going to be chaotic again?
Ten days later, a team of hundreds of Moon Goddesses appeared in front of the Moonlight Goddess Temple in Poper Town, led by Archbishop Desman and another short, fat old man with an old face but hale and hearty spirit.

The moon-white gate of the temple has long been opened, revealing the tragedy inside.

Most of the priests were lying on their clothes in their respective rooms, but there was a big hole in their throats. The strange thing was that not even a trace of blood flowed out. The eyes of the deceased were bulging and his face was ferocious. He must have suffered a lot of pain before his death. , his whole body turned a strange crimson red like a cooked prawn.

Although the guardian knights of the temple were distributed around the temple and half of them were patrolling outside at night, they were easily bitten through their throats and lost their lives without making effective resistance.

"The situation at the dozens of attack sites is almost exactly the same. They all completed this inhuman massacre before the priests and guardian knights could react." Archbishop Desman said in a flat and slow tone, as if this matter is right. He had no influence at all, but the suppressed anger in his heart could be seen from the white fingers tightly clutching the ring.

"In one night, Pope led four temples and ten altars, Trout led five temples and six altars, Uvit led two temples and five temples, a total of 98 priests, and 213 guardian knights. return.

This is the biggest tragedy that has happened to the Temple of Moonlight in the past thousands of years, and it is the biggest loss suffered by the Temple.This is someone provoking the majesty and sacred status of the Moonlight Goddess, and it is an insult to every priest and knight of the Moonlight Goddess Temple.We must use thunder to arrest and purify these villains with the fire of punishment, so as to wash away our shame and maintain the majesty of the temple.

Have you checked it out? Who dares to be so cruel to the great Moonlight Goddess? "

The group of people behind them kept their heads down and did not dare to speak, and a guardian knight at the head stepped forward and said cautiously: "Master Archbishop, the signs on the deceased and the faint traces at the scene indicate that the murderer is a third-order monster with silver scales and golden threads.

Judging from the traces of the smile found by the subordinates' further investigation, this silver-scaled golden-thread snake appeared and hid near Pope Town two or three months ago. After committing crimes in dozens of shrines and altars, Tero and Uvet fled straight into the Kaslang River and disappeared. "

"Boom!" Desman turned around abruptly, a powerful holy power erupted all over his body. He stared at the knight with cold eyes and shouted: "According to what you mean, can I understand that you As a result of the long-term investigation, apart from knowing that this is a long-planned massacre, there are no traces, motives, evidence, or even a suspect about the murderer?"

The knight was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he lowered his head, not daring to say a word of excuse.

The chunky old man waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, it's not his fault. Go in, let's see if the statue has left us any clues!"

Desman cast another icy glance at the knight before turning around, entered the temple one after the other with the chunky old man, and came straight to the statue of the goddess of moonlight.

After kneeling respectfully and praying in front of the holy and majestic statue, the two got up and walked to the side of the statue, and then poured a surge of holy power into the statue.
