An unprecedented "battle" ended. The civilians broke through the defense of the cathedral. The priests who used to be aloof were dragged out of the church to bear the anger of the people. The accumulated anger of the civilians was vented, and justice seemed to be achieved. With the extension, everything seems to have settled.
But for the leaders and framers of all this, there is much more to come.
After the battle in Luan Cathedral, the White Knights immediately took action. They first gathered various volunteer mercenary and adventurer teams to ensure the order of all armed teams, and then began to organize manpower. The food stored in various warehouses in the church district was moved out and transported to the square for on-site distribution. After the people received the food and people's hearts initially stabilized, a group of teams composed of Luan citizens, mercenary representatives, and businessman representatives immediately went to the outer city area. Meet the Cecil Combat Corps waiting outside the city.
After the Cecil Combat Corps entered the city, the situation could be said to have initially stabilized.
Amber and Wright left the underground of the cathedral. They showed the remaining fragments of Fran Béran’s robe to the people, telling them that the sinful bishop had been completely annihilated by the white knight’s holy light—— Although many people regret not seeing Fran Béran’s death with their own eyes, such a result is enough to make people cheer. After all... considering the actual situation of extraordinary power in this world, it is expected that Fran Béran will die in It is very unrealistic to be under the people's stones and sticks. From the perspective of safety and security, a surprise assassination of Bishop Luan by an elite team of white knights is part of the plan itself.
After doing this, Amber and Wright did not stay in the square, but quickly came to an inconspicuous house on the edge of the church district.
This is an ordinary house that looks ordinary from the outside, but the soldiers and two white knights guarding the door are enough to show that it is special. Amber opens the door and goes in, and as expected, he sees it in the main room. That tall and familiar figure.
"You really sneaked in," the half-elf lady walked over carelessly, patting Gawain's arm, "I'm just telling you, it's such an important thing for you. I definitely don't want to hide behind..."
Gawain, who was dressed in military uniform, sensed Amber's aura long before he entered the room. He turned around and looked at Amber with a bit of laughter: "What is sneaking? "You came in here...can you please stop using your professional terms when describing me?"
Hubo folded his arms and said plausibly: "You obviously followed the team into the city, but you haven't shown up until now, right?" What is sneaking?"
The corner of Gao Wen's mouth trembled, and he looked helplessly at the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau who had just made a great contribution - obviously based on the previous mission report and the actual situation in Lu'an City, this half The elf had been working conscientiously for the past many days, and was shrewd and skillful in controlling everything. He thought he would be able to see a mature and reliable Amber, but he did not expect that after meeting, this guy would still beThe same old...
How should I put it? It felt like she was still a ruthless and cunning spy chief when she walked outside half a minute ago, and then she suddenly turned into a goose as soon as she entered the door. He also wandered to his side, stretched his head over in a very twitching manner, and started to ejaculate non-stop...
He was annoyed, in need of spanking, and had no consciousness.
"Hey, why didn't you say anything?" Amber saw that Gawain didn't say anything for a while, and she really started to chat again, "No way, maybe you really take it to your heart... Isn't that right? Did you say you sneaked into the city..."
Gawain quickly shook his head, shaking off the image of "a goose licking in front of him" that was full of thoughts in his mind. He glanced at Amber: "This is a very dangerous and unpredictable operation - civilians attack the cathedral of the extraordinary. Even with white knights and a large number of volunteer mercenaries as the vanguard, it is too easy to lose control, especially as you mentioned before There’s something suspicious about Fran Béran… I need to come here personally to prevent any accidents.”
Hearing Gawain’s words, Amber was a little dazed, and her pointed ears twitched slightly. For a moment, a weird smile appeared on his face: "It's really..."
"What is it really?"
"It's nothing," Amber shook his head, "That Frank ?A strange situation did occur to Braun. Frankly speaking, it was still a bit dangerous at the time, but fortunately it was just a false alarm - big man, where is the crystal? "
Wright has been standing quietly since just now. He didn't say anything next to him. At this moment, when he heard Amber calling him, he didn't care about the nickname the other party gave him. Instead, he took a step forward and took out the piece of light that still exuded a faint light and seemed to be made of light from the container he carried. Pale golden crystal: "Lord, this is it."
Gawain took the crystal with some surprise: "What is this...?"
Amber spread his hands. : "Whether you believe it or not, this is the remains of Fran Braun... The rest of his body was burned away by the holy light, and this is the only thing left."
Gawain was shocked—— How did this alien Holy Light Bishop return the relics after burning them? Is it possible that Fran? Braun is still a high monk...
But he didn't say what he wanted to say, but looked at Amber with a strange expression: "What exactly happened?"
Amber cleared her throat and began to vividly describe her experience with Wright: "That's what happened, we found it underground..."
Gawain frowned slightly and carefully Listening to every detail described by Amber, and after excluding the shameful braggadocio of this shameful elf, he slowly restored the entire action of killing Fran Béran in his mind.
Then he couldn't help but feel a little emotional about the death of the interim bishop of Luan.
It seems that Fran Béran was indeed preparing an ambush in the prayer room. He got strange power from nowhere and arranged a killing move in the room, but he Obviously didn't guessThe action process of the white knights - the white knights directly skipped the step of "entering the secret room to disarm the mechanism and encounter the enemy and engage in combat", and chose to blow up the entire secret room before entering. As a result, Fran Béran, who was ambushing, had not yet taken action. He was blown half to death...
Then the half-dead guy pretended to be trying to resurrect and tried to ambush him again, but he miscalculated again - Amber's belief was amazing, and Wright could break his own mind. Steel Seal, the other white knights were also scary macho men who had received Protestant teachings and were highly resistant to the God of Holy Light. Fran Braun's last ripples changed to loneliness, and then he was completely beaten to death.
To be honest, it’s very frustrating to die. It would be better to be stoned to death by the common people in a cathedral. At least it can be published in newspapers, and if the posture is correct, it may even be used in textbooks...
I feel even more aggrieved when I think about it.
After Amber finished speaking and Wright added some details, Gawain looked at the crystal in his hand and fell into thought.
This crystal is indeed "dead", but it still emits a slight heat and light. In the dim light, you can vaguely see countless changing shadows, just like Frank Bay. Lang's empty soul still echoes in the crystal, vainly refusing to acknowledge his own death, and when Gawain holds the translucent crystal to the sun, he can see through the crystal that the surface of the giant sun is covered with A layer of faint ripples——
This phenomenon of ripples appearing on the sun disc when observed through the crystal proves that this crystal has strong magic coherence. It is under a strong magic environment. The crystal of birth, and it also contains stable magic power.
Can human flesh and blood really produce such crystals?
Or... Fran Béran tried to use some kind of crystal-state holy instrument to enhance his power. As a result, the ritual failed and backlash caused him to turn into a monster mixed with flesh and crystal. ?
Or... In fact, Fran Béran was just standing behind the gate holding a magic weapon made of crystal, preparing to pounce when the intruders pushed the door in, but the door collapsed. The white knight unreasonably threw a lot of explosives inside, blowing him and the crystal apart...
Gawain couldn't help but shudder, he felt that his third If it is too demonic and ghostly, although it seems interesting to spread your thinking in this direction, in such a world of swords and magic, it is better to think according to the local style.
Wright saw the expression on Gawain's face constantly changing, and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Do you have any ideas?"
"I didn't expect it at the moment..." Gawain said, But just in the middle of speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had caught a clue that he had almost ignored, "Wait... I seem to remember..."
Amber and Wright immediately It became quiet, and after thinking for a moment, Gawain finally succeeded in catching the flash of information: "Do you remember that both Kamel and Nicholas Egg described what they just said?The early 'gods' created by the Duo Empire - the original 'gods' failed products had a characteristic, which was that crystals grew out of human flesh and blood..."
"Abominations? Amber's eyes widened, "You mean... Fran Braun tried to transform himself into a god?" "
Gawain thought carefully: "Not necessarily... I suspect this is just a by-product of some failed attempts. According to the information provided by Kamel, all descendants of Gondor humans actually have the genetic factors of evil beings. In other words, as long as the external stimulation is appropriate, maybe every human being can become an 'evil'... But it was just that The Duo Empire's abominable technology finally succeeded. They stabilized and made this genetic factor harmless, and safely implanted it into the human body. Therefore, for thousands of years, there has never been an out-of-control abominable among ordinary people. Phenomenon, but who can guarantee that it will never mutate? "
Both Amber and Wright looked thoughtful, while Gawain sighed softly: "It's a pity... there are no clues left. I'm afraid we will never be able to figure out what happened to Fran Béran. What happened... How could a mid-level priest suddenly gain such power? "
A trace of apology appeared on Wright's face: "Lord, our actions were too reckless..."
"No, there is nothing wrong with your actions, that is indeed the best Plan, the destruction of clues is unavoidable, it is a battlefield after all," Gawain waved his hand, "And saying that Fran Béran has become a god is just a conjecture of mine - fortunately you found this crystal, I can take it back and give it to you Kamel will identify it and maybe find some clues. "
After putting this matter aside for the time being, Gawain exhaled. He looked at Amber and Wright in front of him with a smile on his face.
"In short, All the best, you guys did a great job. "
Wright immediately straightened his body and said solemnly: "The Holy Light guides me. "
Hubo waved his hand: "This matter is not over yet. Lu'an City may still be in chaos in the future, because of the help of those rookies. ”
Gawain nodded slightly. He knew that everything was exactly as Amber said - the incident in Luan City may have come to an end, but the subsequent comfort and reconstruction work had just begun.
The angry people used a storm of action to destroy the oppression of the priesthood. However, without timely and effective follow-up guidance and order building, this action can easily turn into out-of-control atrocities and long-term turmoil. Thanks to the efforts of the White Knights, Cecil soldiers, and civilian representatives, the first phase of order stabilization work has been successfully launched. This operation did not evolve into an out-of-control atrocity on the spot, but whether the city will fall into long-term turmoil will depend on It depends on the work of the officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the propaganda department.
The main urban functions of Luan City must be rebuilt in the shortest possible time. A new governance team that can be recognized by the local people must be established as soon as possible. This city has been incorporated into the Cecil system. In addition, the affairs of Luan City must be publicized throughout the country as soon as possible, and this city must be discovered as much as possible.In addition to the positive influence of this operation, we must also be wary of the destruction and counterattack by the die-hard elements of the old church...
There are a lot of things to be busy with, but fortunately the most difficult part has been overcome.
