Just this one piece of information can almost be considered to have eliminated the worst-case scenario.

As long as the team there can find a few more walls and confirm that there is an enclosed space, then this would be perfect!

But then Team Six disappeared...

Now, the three giants followed Tony's perspective and analyzed the content of the mural.

This is not an easy task, because the entire stone wall from the dome to the ground is covered with murals, and the amount of information contained in them is no easier than reading a book.

The team of people standing in front of the stone wall were like tiny ants crawling on an open book. The densely packed contents were difficult to analyze clearly in a short time.

Perhaps the easiest information to understand at a glance is "a black angel with one wing" and "related to the Sanctuary of Discipline".

Theresa's brows were furrowed. She had been looking at it for a while but couldn't make much of a conclusion.

On the one hand, the picture in the crystal ball is not clear enough. On the other hand, the content that can be obtained is too one-sided.

Even for those who were there in person, it would be difficult to see the entire mural, because part of it is at the top of the rock wall and cannot be seen without flying up.

"It shouldn't be like this. There has never been such an elaborate and huge example of a church mural. Is this really a mural praising a miracle?"

Zephine nodded in agreement. She said, "Yes, the carving style does have the flavor of church monuments, but this way of recording is not reasonable."

As an ancient art form, murals convey content that is concise and to the point, especially murals related to a church. The content they want to express can be highly summarized in one sentence.

Gods or angels have done some glorious deeds and are worshipped by believers.

This is basically the template, and if future generations want to study it, they basically study "what specific things were done".

Moreover, there is another point that is distinctive, and the content is very little.

Why are miracles called miracles? It is because they are rare and do not appear easily. Even if you witness them once in a while, it is enough to make monsters feel fear and surrender.

If there were so many miracles that an entire wall was needed to record them, it would be a bit commonplace...

Commander Deloya remained silent throughout the whole process. She was carefully obtaining effective mural information from those blurry fragments.

After watching for a long time, she finally reacted, but she was not sure of her judgment:

"I just noticed the mural there. It's different from the usual ones praising miracles. Instead, it records...punitive actions?"

Josephine was surprised and asked, "Let's not talk about how you came to this conclusion. Have you finished looking at these murals?"

"How is that possible? I just found a few murals with similar contents, which are about 'who the Angel of Discipline killed this time'."

"Is that so?" Theresa wondered, and tried to re-examine the situation according to Deloya's thinking.

It seems... that's true.

If we keep thinking from the perspective of praising miracles, we will definitely not be able to figure it out. However, if we think from Deloya's inference, the theme of these murals suddenly becomes clear!

This is like the execution record on the execution ground, recording who was recently punished and executed.

"If that's the case, then that place is the execution ground where the angels of discipline punish sinners, and anyone sent there is automatically considered a sinner?!"

Josephine's face suddenly became serious.

This most likely means that there is an angel of discipline there, and anyone who enters there will be in trouble!

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn. At this time, news came from the church in the Ruins Square.

[The ground of the Ruins Square has been 'healed', and the previously destroyed entrance has disappeared! ]

Upon hearing the news, Theresa blurted out:

"So now that the criminals are in jail, the cells are closed?"

Josephine said anxiously, "Theresa, go call Chu Yan over quickly. Remember to ask him to call Afaline and the others. It will be the fastest for Madam Afaline to break open the prison door!"

The life and death of the bishop's confidants and noble guards had no weight in Josephine's heart, but there were still many clergymen under them.

Under the ruins square.

Teams 5 and 7 have returned to their previous routes and found the fluorescent pebble route left by Team 6.

Moving along the route, the two teams soon arrived at the point where the route was interrupted.

The footprints disappeared along with the fluorescent pebbles, and in their place stood a pitch-black statue, less than two meters tall, about the same height as an adult man.

"Why is there a one-winged angel statue here?"

Such doubts cannot be answered because no one knows why.

"At least we have some unusual intelligence. Let's go back and reunite and explain the status of this statue."

The one who proposed it was an A-rank noble guard. He had to admit that he was timid. From the pitch-black color of the statue, he could not feel the sacred tranquility that a church statue should have.

The others agreed and quickly turned back to rejoin the majority.

"We found a statue here, let's go back and reunite now!"

They had just walked for a distance when a clergyman at the end of the team felt some movement behind him. He turned his head and screamed in fright!

"The statue of the angel of discipline is following us!!"

Everyone turned around to look and saw that the statue had not changed in shape. It was not a monster like a gargoyle.

But it appeared silently at the end of their team!

"Don't worry about it, just go back and reunite!"

On the other side, the large group was observing and studying the murals. The bishop's trusted men used the excuse of going to a higher place to confirm the murals, but in fact they found a dimly lit location and walked directly towards the exit.

Duranbi made a decisive decision: "No matter how careless a team is, it is impossible for them to disappear so hastily. Nothing seems right here. It's better to leave first!"

Di Neng'er couldn't bear it and asked, "Why don't you ask them to leave with you?"

Duranbi said without hesitation: "Wait until we reach the exit and make sure we can leave normally, then call them."

Leaving that large group of troops behind there was actually using them as bait.

Although there is no concrete evidence yet, when Duranbi heard that a team was missing, he firmly believed that there was something hidden in the deep darkness here.

Although Duranbi is S-level, she would rather doubt her own perception ability than take it lightly in such a place.

"Oh! God, how can you bless me to see the devil!"

"The entrance... why did it disappear? Why is it sealed off?!"

Author's words: I will try to finish this part in one go tomorrow.

It will take too long

Chapter 6: Unavoidable Sight (k)

In Princess Melissa's mansion, the curtains were closed, and only a little light came in from the edges of the curtains, leaving a glimmer of brightness in the dim living room.

The quiet living room was completely silent. Several maids were standing guard at their positions, but no one spoke a word.

However, if your hearing is sharp enough, you can catch the "noise" of breathing in this silence.

The respectful and dedicated maids placed their hands in front of their bellies, with their slender waists straight and their manners graceful and appropriate, without any behavior that would damage their master's reputation. However, their breathing and heartbeats were disordered, and there was a suppressed sense of urgency and shyness.

Princess Melissa's breathing was even more obvious. She lay on the sofa as soft as a boneless body. Her white silk was stained red by her rosy skin. Her milky white skin was as if she had just come out of the bath. It took her a long time to adjust her breathing rhythm.

Chu Yan, the instigator of all the bad things, is now sitting there anxiously.

Leaving directly is really a bit cruel.

If I stayed to keep her company, I wouldn't know what to say or do, with so many waitresses watching...

Fortunately, Princess Melissa finally recovered a little. She slowly sat up and asked the head maid for a handkerchief to wipe her face.

"The young lord is indeed a man of great potential. Is this ability to suppress the loss of control unique to the Dragonborn?"

"No, if the Dragonborn's magic had this effect, the news would have spread long ago. It's not the first time that it's out of control. It has always been considered a characteristic of a forbidden person."

"Indeed, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Dragonborn, it is just the extraordinary talent of the young lord..."

Princess Melissa suddenly paused because the head maid was carefully wiping her eyelashes. Chu Yan's strong magic power remained on the princess's noble face.

When the head maid was wiping it at close range, she smelled the strong breath of dragon magic in her nose. Her heart beat faster and her eyes became a little evasive.

The conversation continues.

The beautiful princess was calm and composed. Although her complexion was rosy, she also looked haggard and exhausted. She continued to talk to Chu Yan with a charming look on her face:

"The Church and the Sanctuary of Discipline didn't use this to threaten you, little lord? There are many out-of-control patients in the Church."

"I have been worried about this for a long time. It was once a worry that kept me awake at night, but now it's okay. I am not afraid of a head-on confrontation."

"Oh? You're so confident... Ah, please don't worry, it's just a small matter."

The beautiful princess just revealed a look of surprise, because of the movement of her expression, the residue on her thin eyebrows dripped down and stuck to her eyelashes, which the head maid had carefully wiped clean with great difficulty.

Although she was in such an embarrassing situation, Princess Melissa was still thinking about the information revealed by Chu Yan.

Even though he was a Dragonborn, before she knew Chu Yan so well, Princess Melissa would think that he was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy. The Dragonborn people were at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers when facing the church.

You are not afraid of direct confrontation? Even if Ms. Weilin comes, you won't dare to say this, right?

But Chu Yan was not able to accomplish so many things. He had long gotten rid of his arrogance and pride in his character. Now that he said these words again, it could only be said that he had some kind of confidence.

Princess Melissa signaled to her head maid with her eyes, asking her to take her junior Morning Star to help Chu Yan with oral cleaning and changing clothes.

"My young lord is now the invisible lord of the Babel City. Although you have the cooperation of the elder nun, you will inevitably encounter obstruction from the church's high-ranking officials. I will send a team of soldiers over and let you command them, okay?"

Chu Yan was surprised and asked, "Are you sending me manpower? The Thunder Kingdom also needs soldiers to maintain stability, right?"

“The country is now peaceful, and even if someone takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in, they can take it away. More manpower should be deployed to the Babel city area.

If we can't find the 'gate', everything will be in vain, as the endless monsters pouring in from the border will engulf everything."

"...Princess Melissa has a broader mind and foresight than many of the kingdom's great nobles."

Chu Yan looked at her with admiration and expressed gratitude with his eyes.

It would be a great thing to have a team of soldiers to use. It is a soldier's duty to obey orders. As long as they are given enough food and supplies, it would be much easier to command the soldiers to do things.

Chu Yan had also thought that if all forces put their teams into the Tower of Babel, the speed of exploration would be unimaginable.

But this is impossible, as each party is defending the interests within their own circle and is worried that someone will take advantage of the situation and steal their home.

This attitude is also normal. There is no need to condemn selfishness. It is impossible to require every force to have a saintly mind. Being on guard is the key to maintaining the development of one's own forces. Those forces that are willing to be generous and selfless would have died in the malice of others and would not have developed to this day.

Chu Yan thought of what happened in Paradise City and asked:

"Princess Melissa, is there any conflict between you and Commander Deloya? Why did she suddenly come to embarrass you?"

Loss of control among the kingdom's nobles was not uncommon at the time, and the Sanctuary of Discipline also understood that it was not because they had come into contact with any forbidden knowledge, but that they were simply unlucky and were inexplicably out of control.

But this is a case of turning a blind eye. If the Sanctuary of Discipline wants to investigate you, it is impossible.

555

If there is any problem, that is where their power lies.

When the Sanctuary of Discipline wants to make things difficult for a noble, they will suddenly act, like the time with Princess Melissa.

"I don't know the Commander of Discipline, let alone have any grudges with him. I was just a classmate of the Pope of Discipline, and our relationship is just average."

I've made things difficult for you. Is this what you call an average relationship?

But then again, if the relationship is bad, it might not be as simple as making things difficult.

So, Princess Melissa knows the Pope of Discipline and has some understanding of him? !

Just as Chu Yan was about to ask, he heard a burst of hurried and dense footsteps outside the house.

Knight Daven lifted a corner of the curtain, looked out, and said:

"It's a group of nuns heading towards Lord Chu Yan's residence."

Chu Yan had just put on his robes with the help of two maids. He was about to leave and said, "It seems I have to go back and check the situation. Let's talk next time!"
