The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

The man smiled and released the dagger in his left hand that was against Arthur's neck. This was a supporting weapon for the armor-piercing sword. The armor-piercing sword, which could only stab, always needed some weapons for close combat.

He was a master of cold weapons sought by Emperor Lucia, and was specially assigned to train Arthur.

It was no secret that Arthur's weapon was a giant golden sword, and it was also a sacred weapon related to his holy light, so naturally he would not choose to practice with firearms.

To attach holy light to firearms and abandon one's own sacred weapons would be putting the cart before the horse.

not worth it.

Therefore, what Arthur needs most now is to hone his practical experience in using the greatsword.

"Really?" Hearing the teacher's affirmation of him, Arthur smiled brightly, "I am indeed a genius."

"...Great genius, come, drink some water and take a rest."

Melina, who was walking over with two bottles of mineral water, happened to hear what Arthur said and handed him a bottle of water with a speechless look on her face.

"Teacher, his brain is not working well, please don't mind it."

After handing the water to Arthur, Melina handed another bottle of water to the man who dropped the armor-piercing sword.

"Haha, Melina, don't say that about him." The man took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, took a few sips, and continued, "Arthur is indeed a genius."

"I'm afraid even King Arthur of England is not as talented as the Arthur in front of us."

"Look, look!" Hearing this, Arthur grinned and winked at Melina, "I told you I'm a genius, but you didn't believe me. Even the teacher thinks so."

"...Okay, okay." Melina covered her forehead helplessly, "You are very smart and a genius."

Just as Melina and Arthur were arguing, a monk from the church came hurriedly over. Without avoiding the man who was drinking water on the other side, he spoke directly.

"You two, Empress Lucia has received a message. Please go there as soon as possible."

"News? What news?" Melina asked when she saw Arthur still drinking water.

"I don't know either. The emperor just hopes that you two can go there as soon as possible, and he didn't say much."

"Let's go." After drinking a bottle of mineral water in one breath, Arthur gently patted Melina on the shoulder. "Since the emperor asked us to go there as soon as possible, it means that the news we received may not be good news."

"Of course, it is also possible that they received good news and wanted us to go as soon as possible."

"...I really listen to your words, as if I had listened to your words." Melina said speechlessly, then turned around and bowed slightly to the man on the other side, "Then I'll trouble you to clean up these weapons on the ground."

"I understand." The man nodded, "The emperor's affairs are more important, you guys go quickly."

Chapter 318 A World of Hodgepodge

The inside of the monastery is still bustling with people, and there is never a shortage of people coming to worship.

But I don’t know since when, but every time I come to worship, I can hear bang bang sounds similar to gunshots. The sounds are quite intense, as if there is a gang fight inside the monastery.

But this is a sacred place. How could weapons like guns, which are not sacred at all, appear here? The people who come to worship can only ignore the bangs.

Their devout faith does not allow them to have any thoughts of blaspheming the Holy Lord.

At the same time, Arthur and Melina were walking towards the meeting room, and next to them was the newly opened gun practice area.

If the scene at the practice grounds was seen by worshippers, they would certainly be greatly puzzled: When did religion become so casual?

Is this still the sacred place in my heart?

"Why don't you come and practice with firearms?"

Listening to the gun practice that sounded like a gunfight, Arthur curiously asked Melina beside him, "At least learn it. It's always good to have one more skill."

"Forget it." Melina waved her hand indifferently. "It's too troublesome to learn, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the gun after firing. If anyone really wants to learn, you should be the one."

"Me? I'd better forget it. A real man should swing a giant sword."

"Okay, stop talking." Melina patted Arthur's arm. "We'll be there soon. Pay attention to etiquette."

"Oh, okay, okay."

In front of us is a meeting room that looks ordinary but is actually extraordinary. There are various security measures around the meeting room.

Although they were inside the monastery, some conversations could not be leaked.

Therefore, anyone who wanted to enter the meeting room had to go through layers of identity verification. After completing the tedious identity verification, Arthur and Melina pushed open the door and walked in.

The archbishop had already been sitting in his seat waiting for the two to arrive. At the same time, Emperor Lucia and several officials were also waiting here.

The screen embedded in the wall was on at this moment, and a video was paused and not playing.

"Emperor, what is the important news?"

"Come and watch the video first, and you will understand after watching it."

The emperor did not answer, but waved for the two to come over. After they were seated, the emperor pressed the play button.

The paused video on the screen started playing directly. A roar suddenly sounded, which startled people, and then a big rotten face appeared in the camera.

"Zombies?"

Zombies are very familiar to them, because it has been less than half a month since the last zombie crisis. After that, the emperor stated that he would definitely solve the zombie crisis, but what is the current situation?

Could it be that the emperor failed to deal with the zombies?

The video was still playing, and soon a pale and decayed figure appeared in the camera. Without the rotten flesh of a zombie, it looked unattractive in the sunlight.

This was a bone-white rotten skeleton. There was nothing in the eye sockets of the skeleton, but strangely it seemed to be able to see, and it looked around with its empty head.

An uncanny valley effect came directly upon me. They were clearly not human, but they performed actions that were almost the same as those of humans. Although they might have been human in their lifetime, they were definitely not human now.

"This is a new monster that appeared near Volgograd together with the zombies."

The emperor had just opened his mouth to speak when a video of zombies and skeletons appeared in the same frame. The black and red rotting body parts were intertwined with the pale and rough bones, which looked both terrifying and disgusting.

"This kind of monster only appears in Western fantasy, but for some reason it appeared in my country."

Western fantasy? Melina pondered over this term. When she was a child, she had read several novels about Western fantasy worlds.

To be honest, when she was a child, she had longed for that kind of adventure world, with different races such as humans, elves, dwarves, five-colored dragons, and vampires, as well as different professions, such as magicians, paladins, warlocks, and so on.

and many more!

Melina, who thinks divergently, is shocked to find that their reality seems to be developing towards a Western fantasy worldview, with vampires, dragons and paladins already appearing.

Although the black dragon appeared in the island country, it disappeared afterwards.

And now she has also seen the classic Western fantasy monster Skeleton Monster. Does that mean that even magicians and warlocks may appear in the future?

Mythology system, Western fantasy, Eastern monsters...

Why are the changes in this world like a hodgepodge? It's as if the world shows whatever it thinks of. If the world has consciousness, it must be a willful middle school kid.

Melina was full of doubts, but there was nothing strange on her face.

"These newly emerged zombies and skeletons did not harm ordinary people. They just kept crawling out from the ground, as if they were looking for something."

"After I talked with the Patriarch, we guessed that there might be some secrets here. Just like the incident in Chita, the appearance of zombies was accompanied by a holy object like the Holy Grail. And there might be some holy objects appearing in Volgograd as well."

Emperor Lucia said calmly that this guess was a bold one based on the existing intelligence.

According to the zombie siege in Chita City, zombies will not appear without reason. Those monsters will appear in reality because the sacred seal is broken.

In the last Chita incident, they obtained the Holy Grail, and in this Volgograd incident, there is a great chance that they will obtain another holy artifact.

The location of the holy artifact can only be opened by someone with divine power. The video of the trip to Chita clearly captured that it was Melina who used holy light to open the spiral staircase leading to the sealed area. No one dares to assert that it can be directly blown open with explosives.

It is better not to let scientific creations get involved in such unscientific things.

The most important thing is that since the zombie video spread, the number of spies in their country has increased dramatically, and the KGB has a lot of sufficient evidence to prove this news.

The KGB is their country's counterintelligence and intelligence reconnaissance agency, founded by the Soviet Union and eventually inherited by their Russia. It is one of the four major intelligence organizations in the world.

Although it is no longer as powerful as the original Red Empire, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Therefore, although Emperor Lucia is not afraid of trouble, it is better to have less trouble than more. Instead of sending troops, it is better to let Arthur and others go to investigate, and take the six apostles of holy light to see the world, and also take the opportunity to teach them.

It's always better to have a chance to practice than to just shoot at an empty target.

"For various reasons, we hope that the two of you can take the six Holy Light Apostles with you to investigate. It would be best if you don't make too much noise to avoid alerting those with bad intentions."

"Hmm..." After listening to the emperor's words, Arthur pondered for a moment and nodded, "We understand. This is our responsibility."

"After all, with great power comes great responsibility!"

Chapter 319: The Power of the Holy Spear

Volgograd.

As a major city, Volgograd immediately blocked the entrances and exits of the city at lightning speed the moment it learned that zombies and skeleton monsters appeared in the surrounding area.

The speed was so fast that even the people in the city had not yet reacted. By the time they reacted, they could no longer get out, and people outside naturally could not get in either.

No matter how much people outside beg, the city will not open the entrances and exits. Compared with the surrounding villages, the city is obviously more important.

Moreover, if the city is opened and anyone is allowed in at will, who knows whether the people coming in are carrying the zombie virus.

At least no zombies have been found in the city.

"Shasha~"

A rough and dirty skeletal foot swept across the withered yellow grass on the ground, and then stepped on it without hesitation. Fortunately, there was only a hollow bone frame left on the foot, and most of the grass emerged from the gaps. Otherwise, it might have been criticized for not caring about the environment and trampling on the lawn at will.

The skeleton monster, with holes all over its body and crackling sounds at its bone joints, patrolled the land around it.

There was not a single brain cell in its empty head, but it seemed to know what it was going to do and what its mission was. After scanning the surroundings, it continued to move towards a place it had never been to.

Even though there are many resurrected dead, this wasteland is so vast that the only way is to use the method of elimination to reduce the number of erroneous areas little by little and then find the correct location.

The location where that damn guy is hiding.

Whenever he thought of the guy who humiliated him, the Corpse King would get so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wondered why he didn't infect the living people around him and turn them into zombies to search together.

The Corpse King still has some sense of the big picture. He has already let the zombies in Chita lie dormant, so he will naturally not allow a zombie crisis to happen here as well.

If he went too far and attracted the human army, it would be bad. You know, even he couldn't be sure of winning against the humans who were determined to perish together with him.

The present era is no longer the same as the previous one, not to mention that his resurrection is incomplete.

Before he fully recovers his strength, he will not do such a thing as killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own.

So now the Corpse King is still tirelessly resurrecting the dead in this area and searching for the hiding rat.

Volga River, riverside village.

A bearded, blue-eyed man was holding a shotgun and walking lightly on the silent land.

It was quiet all around, without even the usual bird calls, as if even the birds had left the area for fear of the zombies.

But in order to survive, Vanya had to walk out of the safety of his home with a shotgun in hand. This time he not only had to take away plenty of vegetables, but also the fish caught by the fishing net in the river.

Volgograd was sealed off, so the farmers in the surrounding areas could only find ways to survive.

Although I heard that zombies will not attack humans, who knows if it is true? You can't really bet your life that the zombies won't pounce on you and hurt you.

There are four people in Vanya's family, him, his wife and two daughters. Since the zombies appeared, they have been hiding in the house and have not gone out.

Not only them, everyone in the village is in this state. In order to avoid encountering zombies and skeleton monsters outside, they can only hide in their homes where they feel safe.

But if he doesn't work, the food will be eaten up sooner or later. Facing starvation or the possibility of being bitten to death by zombies, Vanya chooses to go out to get food.

It is safe for vegetables to grow in the ground. Apart from the possibility of being destroyed by wild animals, there will be no loss and they can last for a while.

And protein and the like can only be obtained from fish in the river.

When they first learned about the zombies, they had already fixed fishing nets in the river, so they could catch some fish. As long as they caught the fish and put the fishing nets back into the river, they could get a steady source of protein.

And now Vanya is heading to where the fishing nets are placed.

A moment later, seeing more than ten big fish on the fishing net, Vanya was delighted. These fish were enough for their family to survive for about another week.

That way, there will be no danger for at least a week, and we can safely wait for government rescue.

Vanya, secretly delighted, did not linger for long. He swiftly pulled the fishing net ashore and stuffed the fish one by one into the fish basket on his back.

Fortunately, the fish basket I brought this time was big enough, otherwise I might not be able to take all of it away.

After finishing all this at a very fast speed, Vanya placed the fishing net in the river again and fixed it with a thick wooden stick to prevent the river water from washing the net away.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time, thank God."

Warnia turned and walked towards the vegetable garden, muttering to himself. The fishing net was far away, but the vegetable garden was close. Since the distance to the fishing net was not dangerous, the distance to the vegetable garden was safe.
