Chapter Eleven: The Darkest Place(1/3)
The sky was dark. Ever since the distortion of Wadi Manor, the entire North City had been so dark and depressing, and the atmosphere revealed an indescribable weirdness.
On the half-destroyed bell tower, Su Xiao had chosen a target and threw all the Apollos into the backyard of Wadi Manor. As for the reason, the provocation of the goat-headed devil only accounted for a small part.
In any case, Su Xiao will not directly blow up the castle in Wadi Manor and raze it to the ground for convenience. In any case, the key to the sanctuary is in the castle. Once the key to the sanctuary is destroyed, Su Xiao
The promotion task will fail immediately.
Even so, Su Xiao was still not prepared to enter the old castle. He always had a feeling that he couldn't enter that poor place. The current head of the Wadi family, Wadi Lifak, never showed up. According to Mrs. Yan's information, this
The guy is not dead, but is in the castle.
Because of this, Su Xiao felt that this castle was a trap set by Wadi Lifak. Of course, Su Xiao was not the only one who guessed this. The Duke obviously also guessed it.
From the beginning of the incident to the present, the Duke's side has been full of thunder and light rain, giving the impression that the "Hammer Agency" has entered Wadi Manor many times.
This is where the Duke excels. Once something happens in the high-walled city, the "Hammer Agency" will definitely be at the forefront and do a lot of things, but they will definitely be the ones who receive the least beatings and are the most effective in the eyes of outsiders.
On the contrary, Madam Yan's Silver Armor Brigade did the most work, received the most severe beatings, but gained the least fame. No wonder Madam Yan was so hostile to the Duke.
It doesn't matter whether Wadi Leifak is hiding in the castle or not. Su Xiao looks down at an old man wearing a white robe.
This man is dressed in white robes, has long pale hair, and a long black beard. His eye sockets are black and slightly sunken, which makes him look difficult to get along with. The first time you see him, you feel a sense of fear.
I feel and am sure that this is a very serious old man.
This person is Turz, the great sage of the Healing Church and Academic School. He has profound knowledge in soul science, theology, and stigmatology. He is an encyclopedia of soul power and stigmata power.
The system of the entire academic sect, that is, Stigma Academy, is very simple, consisting of apprentices, students, mentors, five sages, and the great sage at the top.
As for Xiusi and Liz, they were former students within the academic sect. After being promoted from apprentice to student, they also graduated.
At this time, Hughes and Liz felt guilty subconsciously when they saw the Great Sage Turz. It felt like they had just graduated and met the principal of their alma mater, and that this principal had no relationship with their current boss.
good.
The great sage Turzi came here this time to ensure that the barrier was flawless. His relationship with Su Xiao was not on good terms, which was another matter. At the moment, they wanted to deal with the Wadi Manor together first.
"Great Sage, the barrier you set up must be strong."
Baha opened his mouth, preparing to liven up the atmosphere. After all, we were about to cooperate, so there was no need to be too nervous.
The Great Sage Turzi ignored Baha and led the people towards the barrier, which made Baha exclaim "I'm sorry."
"We are all our own people, don't worry about trivial matters."
A middle-aged and elderly man wearing a crimson robe came over. His face was gentle and his voice sounded like spring breeze. This man was Bishop Anse, a high-ranking member of the Healing Church.
Although the workshop, the academic school, and the treatment center are all subordinate departments of the Healing Church, Su Xiao, Bishop Ans, and the great sage Turzi are equals, and no one can control the other.
Bishop Ans came to the half-damaged bell tower where Su Xiao was and said, "Bai Ye, I have some bad news for you."
"Um?"
"A sage from the academic side predicted that you were the chosen one. Just now, the great sage Turzi went to the church in person and wanted to find the bishop and the holy priest, but the bishop did not see him.
.”
Bishop Ans had a smile on his face when he said this. He nudged Su Xiao with his elbow and said, "I support you. I don't worry about you. I'll go take a look at the other side of the barrier."
With these words, Bishop Ans left with a smile on his face.
Among the top leaders of the Healing Church, Bishop Ans is well-known as a good old man, but don't trust him too much. Su Xiao is sure that he must have a good relationship with the academic side.
Among the senior leaders of the Healing Church, there are three categories:
1. People like Su Xiao and the Great Sage Tourz rely on hard power to get to the top. They use their strength or knowledge to defeat all those who are dissatisfied, and finally get to the top with force.
2. Saints of all ages have status since they were born.
3. Bishop Anse is a person who is good at playing both sides, is well-rounded, talks about people and lies, and when big things happen, such people are unreliable, but in normal development, such people are indispensable. Once they are missing, they are not reliable.
If you do this, the Healing Church will be out of touch, appear superior, and be hated by everyone.
A simple analogy is to ask Su Xiao and the great sage Turzi to go to the cathedral to preach to the believers on Sunday. This is not reliable at all. Su Xiao and the great sage Turzi are indeed good at their respective fields.
Top notch, but too hardcore.
On the contrary, Bishop Ans is able to accomplish this kind of thing very well, and he has built up a good reputation as a healing church over time.
Su Xiao looked a hundred meters away, where was the center of the barrier. At this time, the great sage Turz, Bishop Ans, and many academic teachers, plus more apprentices were there.
The Academic Faction mobilized all their strength this time, plus a large amount of resources, to set up barriers. This was certainly not to help Su Xiao. In other words, Su Xiao was making explosives before, and the Academic Faction was so happy to produce the materials, so they were just waiting here.
.
After learning that Su Xiao was going to blow up Wadi Manor, many people in the academic group opposed it. The great sage Tuerzi went against all objections and not only provided the materials for making explosives, but also formed an enchantment team in advance.
Although the great sage Turzi is a serious man and has a straight face every day, he is actually an old man. Oh no, this is a learned old man.
In the opinion of the Great Sage Turz, Wadi Manor will definitely be blown up, but there is a prerequisite for this, which is to set up a barrier first.
Looking at the entire high-walled city, there is no other institution that can do this except the academic school.
Blowing up Wadi Manor and the surrounding area was something that everyone was nominally opposed to. Using a barrier to stabilize the explosion and reduce the damage caused by the explosion was undoubtedly a good reputation.
People like the Great Sage Turz don't care about reputation. What he values is making Stigmata Academy more famous. In this way, talented people in the high-walled city will rush to come, and
Not often intercepted by the Cult of Steam and the High Wall Council.
Originally, the great sage Turzi had this purpose, until a sage in the Stigma Academy he was in charge predicted that Su Xiao had become the chosen one.
As a result, the situation has changed. The academic faction has collectively opposed the ancient tradition of the chosen ones many years ago and abolished the selection and recruitment of the chosen ones. In the view of the academic faction, in order to solve the problem, they hope to be selected.
The chosen one cannot do it, and the ashes and remains on the 11th floor of the cathedral are ironclad proof.
In the view of the academics, the method they are currently implementing is a good strategy. Without this method, there would be no high-walled city today.
Su Xiao didn't know what method the Academic Sect used, but he was certain of one thing. If he wanted to enter the Source City of Death, it would affect the most fundamental method of the Academic Sect, and his identity as the chosen one,
Destined to go to the Dead City.
As a result, the conflict between him and the academic school has reached an irreconcilable level.
With only half of the bell tower left, the cold wind carried a trace of purple mist blowing by. Su Xiao threw down the Apollo in his hand and activated it.
The total detonation time of Apollo is 15 seconds. After calculation by Bubo Wang, with Su Xiao's strength and the distance between him and the backyard of Wadi Manor, he threw the Apollo when it was still 2 seconds away from detonation, etc.
When Apollo flies near the sheep-headed demon, it can achieve an instant explosion without giving the opponent a chance to respond.
Kakaka~
The crystal layer spread on Su Xiao's right hand. As time passed, the Apollo in his hand began to turn red, and he made a throwing gesture.
Bang!
A scorching golden-red remnant line swept out. After breaking through the air explosions repeatedly, Apollo flew into the hole reserved in the barrier. The next moment, he had arrived in the thick purple-black fog in the backyard.
A giant claw covered with black scales came towards him. It was a sheep-headed demon, and it was about to grasp Apollo.
Boom!
There was a buzz in the head of the sheep-headed demon, and at this moment, it saw light.
How can you not see the light? Apollo is about to explode in the face. If Su Xiao throws it again accurately, he will throw it into the mouth of the sheep-headed devil.
Golden flames came towards me, and the sheep-headed demon let out a roar. The environment here was special, and the purple-black mist spreading around it greatly suppressed Apollo's explosive power.
It has to be said that in a world like the Dark Continent, the power of a single Wrath of the Sun Apollo is no longer so devastating.
It is certainly a good idea to continue to develop Apollo, but this is a bottleneck. With Su Xiao's current alchemy knowledge, it depends on luck to overcome this bottleneck.
As the saying goes, if the quality is not enough, then the quantity will start to change qualitatively. 10 Apollo + special high-explosive gunpowder is the "Sun Bucket"; 100 Apollo + fission solution + special glass column container is the "Sun Pillar"
.
600 Apollo pills + fission solution + special glass column container + a large amount of concentrated power of faith, the sun + sunlight amplification, equal to the "Holy Sword of the Sun".
The dull sound of explosions spread within the barrier, and the sun flames spread and eroded each other with the purple-black thick fog in the backyard. On the opposite side, the sun flames engulfed the castle, reached the front yard, and burned the dark purple biological tissue entrenched in the front yard.
These dark purple biological tissues melted like snow and were burned to ashes. The sun's flames continued to spread, burning the buildings around the manor until they evaporated into gas on the spot, and were finally blocked by the barrier.
Now look at the barrier that looks like an upside-down bowl, and it has been filled with golden sun flames.
After a while, the sun's flames dissipated, and at the center of the barrier a hundred meters away from the half-damaged bell tower, a group of teachers and students from Stigmata Academy looked at me, and I looked at you.
"That's it?"
A mentor is dumbfounded. They set up for such a long time, and then it was over in one go? Not to mention bursting the barrier, the current explosion was consumed by the thick fog, the castle, etc., and it did not affect the barrier at all.
"Be careful what you say."
The great sage Turzi spoke solemnly, and all the teachers and students no longer dared to show "that's it" expressions.
The Great Sage Turzi looked in the direction of Su Xiao. He seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Activate all sub-nodes to let the barrier reach its highest intensity."
After hearing this, all the teachers and students of Stigma Academy were full of doubts, but they did not dare to disobey the great sage Turzi and could only follow his orders.
The Great Sage Turz didn't know much about explosives, but he knew that the vice-president of the treatment center, his old rival, would either not do it, or do it to the best of his ability, or in other words, do it to the extreme.
Bang!
Another Apollo flew into the barrier, and then exploded. The flames still spread, but this time the sheep-headed demon roared even more angrily.
The third Apollo followed closely, and the muffled sound and solar flames spread within the barrier.
To be continued...
