Chapter 62 Catacombs
"Filthy undead creatures, accept the sanction of the holy wrath.
With an angry roar, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness, wrapped in a flash of fire, and hit Bruna heavily. With a click, firelight and bone fragments flew, hitting the steps with a crackling sound.
Lan Wu was shocked. This time he could see clearly. The one who killed Bruna instantly with one blow was a paladin.
The appearance of this paladin was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly. In his peripheral vision, he could only see a double-headed flail in his right hand and an inverted triangular light shield in his left hand. There are still wisps of firelight that have not been extinguished on the shield. It is obvious that the blow just now was this light shield.
"Charge?" Lan Wu quickly ran through the Paladin's skills in his mind, and finally settled on the skill of charge. But when I thought about it, the paladin's blow just now clearly contained fire damage. The charge skill will never cause fire damage.
What is his occupation?
Just thinking of this, Lan Wu had a strange expression. He remembered the beginning. That barbarian Glasgow must also be in such a tangled mood. Quickly putting aside his distracting thoughts, he quickly transformed into a bear-man, stood in front of the three Kanes, and shouted at the weird paladin: "Who are you and why do you want to kill my skeleton?"
The weird paladin hesitated slightly when he heard human voices coming from the steps. Afaf has such a strong sense of fighting that he took advantage of this little opportunity to immediately retreat and return to Lan Wu, leaving only the clay stone demon blocking the steps.
Although the Clay Stone Demon is not tall, its body is quite broad. He stood in front of the steps and blocked four-fifths of the way. If you want to attack Lan Wu behind, you can only kill it first.
The consciousness of the Paladin is also quite excellent. As soon as he saw the thick clay doll blocking the steps, he immediately knew that he could not go around and kill the sinner who used evil magic to control the skeleton and clay doll. He carefully held up his shield to protect his chest and stepped back into the darkness.
"Wait a minute." Lan Wu saw this weird paladin retreating and quickly called out. The helpless person didn't want to talk to him at all. There was silence in the darkness, and peace returned.
"Tristram has been sealed for thousands of years. It's impossible for humans to still exist." Kane was tangled in confusion, and kept tugging at his few hair and muttered absentmindedly.
"Eileen, take them up to wait for me." Lan Wu made up his mind to find out the details of this weird paladin. He immediately jumped down the steps and led the Clay Stone Demon and Afaf into the darkness.
Kane and Warrod looked at each other, speechless for a long time. Who would have thought that human paladins could exist in the isolated Tristram. Who would have thought that Lan Wu's curiosity would be so strong that he would venture into the dark and dangerous underground tomb alone.
At this time, Irene looked at the dark tomb, turned around and walked to Kane and the others. She looked at the two Kanes, with no intention of getting out of the way. She was serious and solemn, as if she planned to strictly implement Lan Wu's instructions.
"I am a scholar." Kane smiled, turned around and walked back to the monastery lobby.
"We can't let him take risks alone." Warrod was filled with indignation and determined to share the joys and sorrows with his only friend.
Kane shook his head. Soon Irene dragged the knocked unconscious Warrod past him and walked to the front. He watched Warrod being dragged by Irene like a log on the steep steps, smiled happily, and followed slowly.
Fortunately I am an academic.
…
In the catacombs, Lanwu has returned to his original state, only following the clay stone demon and Afaf. The transformation time of the bear-man was over long ago, and he did not want to light a torch to attract the attention of the undead creatures. Afaf and the Clay Stone Demon are not affected by the dark environment and are suitable for exploring paths in such terrain.
Along the way, a frail skeleton appeared in the aisle from time to time. Whether it's Afaf or the Clay Stone Demon, it only takes one ordinary hit to kill them instantly. Soon Lanya and Bruna completed the possession again. One on the left and one on the right, they protected Lan Wu on both sides. Together with Afaf and the clay stone demon, they protected Lan Wu tightly.
"Follow that paladin." Lan Wu gave the order. He knew that Afaf must have remembered the aura of that paladin.
"He is running very fast." Afaf opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and said in a very solemn tone: "I can hardly feel his breath. Three minutes... I can only hold on for three minutes at most and I will lose his whereabouts."
"Then we can only speed up." Lan Wu put on his fist sword and immediately started accelerating.
There is no clay stone demon, but the speed is improved. Under the protection of Lanya and three others, Lan Wu quickly walked through the corridor and entered a room that looked like a prayer room.
This room is very basic. There was nothing all around, except for three long seats about three meters long, and a strange relief carved on the wall directly opposite the door.
"I've lost track." Afaf looked very annoyed and kicked the rotten bench seat angrily.
The catacombs are cold and damp. The room was filled with a decaying smell. Afaf stepped down, and the long-decayed bench immediately turned into a pile of rotten wood.
"That's wrong. You were misled by the aura that exists here." Lanya walked forward quickly and squatted down in front of the bench.
Lan Wu was silent for a moment, then took out a torch from his space bag and lit it. The torch was lit, and the flickering flames dispersed the thick darkness and illuminated the small room.
"That paladin must often come here to confess." Lanya stroked the particularly clean spot on the ground with a very sure tone.
"This is the emblem of the Samlanka Church. I've seen it before." Bruna bit her thumb and stared at the relief on the wall.
The main body of the relief is a female angel, but she is strangled by a hideous demon. The demon was pierced through the chest by the long sword in the angel's right hand and came out from the back.
This strange and meaningless relief made Lanwu fall into deep thought. The Samlanka Church is a well-known religious organization in the dark. But he was not familiar with this huge church that once spread all over the world. He only knew that this huge organization was finally destroyed by the devil and became the dust of history.
"Yes, this is the emblem of the Samlanka Church." Afafu walked to the front of the relief and confirmed Bruna's point of view again.
"Archbishop Samlanka treated me to a lot of delicious food before." Bruna bit her thumb and smacked her lips, and the clacking sound immediately echoed in the room. Obviously she remembered the deliciousness of those delicacies.
"It is said that the Horadrim sealed the demon Diablo here and abandoned this place. King Leoric built the Samlanka Cathedral here." Lan Ya also stood up and walked under the relief to look up, her tone was very heavy.
The doom of mankind began here. The power of the demon Diablo is very strong. It invaded King Leoric's dream and tried to occupy his body. But King Leoric was determined and stubbornly blocked the demon's spiritual invasion. And Diablo's magic power leaked out of the sealed place and affected King Leoric day and night. In the end, this wise king became a slave of darkness and destroyed the once prosperous Tristram.
"So that weird paladin is a believer of the Samlanka Church?" Lan Wu thought.
"The paladin was once the most loyal and fanatical believer of the Samlanka Church." Lan Ya explained tactfully, taking great care of Lan Wu's face.
"Look around, maybe you can find other clues." Lan Wu seemed to be oblivious and gave orders on his own.
Lan Ya and the other two followed the instructions and searched the room. Lan Wu walked under the relief and looked up at the relief, which looked very tragic. After looking at it for a while, he was thoughtful and touched the angel's right ankle.
This place was very smooth, and it was obvious that it was different from other places after touching it. Obviously, people often touch this part. Lan Wu couldn't help but look strange.
Could this paladin be a foot fetishist?
Shaking his head and putting aside this incredible idea, Lan Wu carefully investigated again. Soon, he touched a very smiling bulge on the inside of the angel's right ankle. He tried to press it, but he didn't expect to really press it.
With a bang, the wall 50 centimeters below the relief suddenly cracked, and a square drawer popped out. Inside lay a yellowed notebook.
Lan Wu picked up the notebook, flipped through it carefully, and then decisively called Lan Ya and the others, unfolded the notebook, and handed it to them: "What is recorded on it?"
"This is the ancient Kanduras language." Lan Ya carefully identified it, and her tone was uncertain: "If I am not mistaken. The sentence above means that the spirit is immortal and the Crusader is immortal."
Having only translated this sentence, Lan Ya shook her head, with a very regretful tone: "Sorry, I am not familiar with Kanduras."
"When the Crusader prepares for battle, the firm will and faith will be transformed into holy wrath, punishing all enemies in the name of holy light." Afafu immediately added the translation. But after only translating one sentence, she also shook her head helplessly: "Sorry, I am a Lu Gaoyin, and I only know a little bit of Kanduras."
"Crusader, holy wrath?" Lan Wu frowned slightly and pondered. These are two terms he has never heard of. Crusader is easy to understand. Most of the time, like the Paladin, it also relies on firm belief to transform into power to attack the enemy. But this holy wrath has no clue at all.
The wrath of the Holy Light?
After thinking about it, Lan Wu simply gave up the idea. Instead of struggling here, it is better to go up and ask Cain. After all, he is the heir to the title of Cain, the last descendant of the Horadrim clan. Or just find that Paladin... well, it should be called the Crusader and ask him clearly.
At this moment, a burst of heat suddenly emerged at the door. A ball of blazing fire suddenly rushed in from outside. In an instant, the temperature in the not-so-spacious room suddenly rose, and even the distortion of the air could be seen.
Almost at the same time, Lan Wu's hand speed exploded, and he replaced the scepter that had not been used for a long time, and quickly turned on the fire resistance aura. With 52% fire resistance, the scorching flames did not cause much damage to Lan Wu and Lan Ya. But the Crusader, wrapped in blazing flames, had already hit Lan Wu.
"Oops." Lan Wu secretly said that he had miscalculated, and immediately turned on the bear man transformation. Just halfway through the transformation, the ball of fire had already hit him.
Lan Wu suddenly felt as if he was hit head-on by a speeding train. He flew backwards and hit the wall hard. He slid down softly and spurted out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Accept the punishment of the Holy Wrath!"
