But he had a very strange mask on his face. The mask was made of rough hemp rope and was very different from the conventional mask design.

Usually, masks would have holes for the eyes so that the wearer could see clearly into the outside world, but this mask completely covered the scribe's entire face.

Below the mask, countless ropes tightly bound his body, from his arms to his chest, and then to his arms and legs.

The presence of these ropes made it impossible for the clerk to walk normally. He could only kneel on the ground and crawl slowly and with difficulty on his two knees.

"Another penitent, the suffering of the silent congregation has now come to an end."

"I am Diogacus, the witness and narrator of painful miracles, and this is my confession."

"What you seek is the cradle of suffering."

"A huge, sacred, forbidden door has isolated a distant place in the continent."

"According to the covenant, only after performing three humiliating rituals can one approach what the Church guards."

"One of them was held high in the mountains, covered with thick snow and ice."

"The other is deep within the dark, buried church where the sleeper lies."

"The last one is at the end of the path where the Groaners crawled out of the iron spiral, deep in the underground, deep in the bell called Hondo."

“This thing can help you.”

As he spoke, a thorn appeared in Diogakas's hand.

……

“Don’t tell me this weird nonsense,” Lin Yi said coldly, pressing the blade of the Black and White Rose sword in his hand tightly against Diogakas’ throat. “Tell me, where are the three marks and how should I get them.”

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Diogakas' expression beneath the mask was extremely shocked, as if he had discovered something earth-shattering.

"Aren't you a confessor? Why can you speak? No, you are a fake confessor, but you have the breath of the Holy God and the blessings of other members of the silent association. How can this be possible?"

Lin Yi's identity obviously made Diogakas fall into extreme confusion.

In his understanding, members of the Society of Silence all signed contracts with the Holy True Father in exchange for miracles.

But Lin Yi's existence obviously broke this conventional rule.

Lin Yi's identity was directly granted by the Samsara Paradise. There is an essential difference between the two. Unless the Holy True Father is crazy, He would not dare to snatch people from the Samsara Paradise.

However, seeing that Lin Yi had a hope of defeating the Twisted Holy Father, the Holy True Father was happy to grant Lin Yi power.

After all, this does not mean any loss to the Holy True Father. If Lin Yi really succeeds, it will be a huge unexpected gain.

"Also, have other people been here before?"

Lin Yi noticed that when he just arrived, Diogakas said that another confessor had come.

On this continent, "Confessor" is a specific code name for members of the Order of Silence.

Diogakas's words meant that before Lin Yi arrived, other members of the Silent Mourning Society had already contacted him.

".Come with me."

Diogakas glanced at Lin Yi, then knelt and moved towards a place not far away. It was not known whether it was the effect of the miracle of suffering, but although Diogakas was kneeling on the ground, his movement speed was not slow at all, and was even slightly faster than Lin Yi walking on two legs.

Lin Yi followed Diogakas and came to an extremely large warehouse.

The door of the warehouse was not locked. Diogakas pushed it open easily and led Lin Yi in.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Lin Yi's face showed a look of confusion.

He looked around and found that the warehouse was full of hoods.

These hoods were very similar to the ones worn by Diogakas, each one was two meters high and were placed closely together.

Lin Yi took a quick glance and estimated that there were about a hundred hoods.

"Everyone here is a loser."

Diogakas sighed and slowly moved to a hood still covered in blood.

"Of all the people here, he was the one who came closest to success, but unfortunately, the embers of the Holy Mountain consumed his body. Even with the blessing of the Holy God, he could not resist the powerful force of the miracle of suffering."

Following Diogakas's finger, Lin Yi came to the side of the hood.

He felt a trace of the power of fire on the hood. The power was extremely strong. Just by getting close to it, Lin Yi could feel the rolling heat wave coming.

"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Yi interrupted Diogakas's reminiscence, "Since they have come to the Holy See, they must have the three seals in their hands." Lin Yi's purpose of this trip was very clear, which was to find the three seals.

Diogakas shook his head. "No, those three marks will return to their own territory once again after opening the door to the Church."

"But they did leave behind some usable stuff."

Then, three green gems appeared in Diogakas's hand.

【Teleport Gem】

Introduction: A must-have for lazy people who travel at home, but the prerequisite is that you must first reach the destination.

……

"The destinations of these three gems are the Land of Withered Olives, the Land of Profanation, and the Great Bell of Hondo at Endless Dusk."

Lin Yi took the teleportation gem from Diogakas.

"hope."

Before Diogakas finished speaking, Lin Yi's figure instantly disappeared in front of Diogakas.

“What an anxious guy, I hope he can do it.

Diogakas sighed, hoping that he would not be disappointed this time.

After Lin Yi used a teleportation gem, his figure instantly appeared in a snowy mountain.

The snow-capped mountains stand majestically under the sky, like a coiled jade dragon.

The snow on the top of the mountain was roaring like an angry beast under the raging wind.

The blizzard swept mercilessly across the silent land. The sky and the earth were vast and desolate. As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast expanse of white, like the scene at the beginning of chaos.

The wind howled like the mournful cry of a ghost, and the snowflakes were like sharp arrows, hitting his face, bringing bursts of pain.

Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, sometimes gathering into balls, sometimes scattered like rain, fluttering and filling every corner between heaven and earth.

At the foot of the mountain, the small village was ruthlessly swallowed up by the sudden snowstorm. The snow on the roofs grew thicker and thicker, and finally could no longer hold on, making a dull collapse sound, as if it was a wail to this ruthless nature.

In front of Lin Yi was a collapsed church. A huge bronze bell was half buried in the snow. On a dead tree beside the church, a huge corpse was tied to it.

The corpse was wearing two masks and had more than a dozen arrows stuck in its body. Next to it stood a wooden sign.

"The betrayer, Kimino."

There is the logo of the Templar Army under the wooden sign. It seems that the corpse on the dead tree was once a member of the Templar Army, but now it has become such a miserable state for some unknown reason.

Walking along the road, Lin Yi found some dried corpses hanging with ropes above some branches.

Due to the harsh effects of the icy and snowy weather, the corpses did not rot. Instead, they kept shaking back and forth in the blizzard.

"Damn the blizzard. It's so cold."

Just as Lin Yi was about to move forward, a burly man wearing a bearskin coat suddenly appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi temporarily concealed his figure and hid behind a tree.

After Lin Yi hid, two strong men in fur coats were walking along the road with difficulty.

The two men's eyebrows were covered with frost due to the snowstorm. They hugged their arms and their bodies were trembling slightly.

There was a bloodstained long sword hanging on the waists of both men. From their tattered clothes and the longbows behind them, Lin Yi recognized that they were hunters.

For these two hunters, if they were not afraid of the Templars' counterattack, they would not come out for patrol in this damn weather.

"Thor, let's go, let's go back. Those masters of the Temple Army will definitely not come up in this horrible weather. Let's go back quickly. I'm almost freezing to death."

One of the younger hunters, Dewey, sneezed, and then hurriedly urged Thor to leave quickly.

"Well, go back."

The hunter called Thor nodded. He certainly understood the specific situation of the Temple Army.

The Temple Army can be said to be a group of old soldiers. In such a raging snowstorm, even the locals would get lost, not to mention the Temple Army soldiers from other places.

Just as Thor was about to leave, he noticed the footprints where Lin Yi had just stood in front of Kimino.

Although half of the footprints had disappeared due to the blizzard, Thor was the best hunter of this generation. Although the footprints were very faint, they were still noticed by the experienced old Thor.

"Who! Come out!"

Thor suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist and began to look around nervously. Dewey beside him also hurriedly drew out his long sword.

Although Dewey didn't know what happened, he was clear about one thing: Thor must have discovered something unusual.

"What did they find? Could it be those sons of bitches from the Temple?"

Dewey's hand holding the long sword was shaking a little. It was obvious that although Dewey hated the Templars very much, he had to admit that those guys were indeed powerful.

The Templars seemed to be insensitive to pain and, with the help of divine magic, they brutally massacred all the villages near the snow-capped mountains.

Dewey and Thor both tried their best to escape from the village.

"Come out. Although you hid perfectly, your footprints still revealed your location."

Thor looked around and finally found half a shallow footprint near a tree where Lin Yi was hiding.

Lin Yi slowly walked out from behind the tree holding the black and white rose.

"Priest robes! Damn Templars, die!"

The moment Dewey saw Lin Yi's clothes, his eyes turned red. He was ready to rush up with a long sword and fight Lin Yi desperately, but was stopped by Old Thor.

"What are you doing?"

"Calm down. The guy in front of you is not one of those hypocrites from the Pain Cult."

Thor grabbed Dewey's wrist tightly, stopping his attack.

"I didn't expect to meet someone from the Silent Mourning Society here. It seems that you are here for the Monastery of Our Lady of Scorched Earth on the mountain."

After hearing the words "Silent Memorial Meeting", Dewey's face finally returned to normal.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

The entire continent knew that the followers of the Society of Silence were all taciturn people, so Lin Yi's behavior did not arouse the suspicion of the two.

"Come with me. Now is not the time to go up the mountain. Wait until the snowstorm is over before you go up the mountain."

Thor and Dewey put their swords back at their waists, and then signaled Lin Yi to follow them.

After walking a very long way, Lin Yi followed the two people to a cave. The cave was very hidden, with a large stone blocking the entrance. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be difficult for Lin Yi to find this place.
