Heart of the Castle

Chapter 319 Castle Altar, Backdoor Listing

In front of the gate of Green Castle, Li Wei saw a few giant mountain knights who were running around in a hurry. As soon as they saw the figure riding a black horse galloping, they rushed to meet him and asked him who he was. What's the point of coming here.

Li Wei pushed back the hood full of icy debris, revealing a young face, but before he could give his name, the giant mountain knights all cheered.

"It's the one favored by the gods! The ones favored by the gods are here!"

"Great, His Excellency Vice Archbishop Beria is saved."

Amid such cheers, Li Wei was surrounded by them and entered the city gate, and then walked quickly towards the place where Vice Archbishop Beria was recuperating.Green Castle was baptized by a war during Sir Lidwan's rebellion last time, but the interior of the castle was not damaged.Since most of Li Wei's confiscated territories can be regarded as a piece of dilapidated walls and ruins, so the Temple of the Storm and the Temple of the Earth set up temporary residences in the Green Castle with complete defense measures, and sent Priests and apostolic knights traveled to various places, on the one hand spreading the teachings, and on the other hand assisting the people in defending against robbers.

During the period when the two temples were stationed, the ancient Green Castle has received a lot of repairs. Although it can’t be called a new look, Li Wei found that the broken stone roads in many places have been replaced, and the cracks on the walls have also been replaced with plaster. Mortar and other things have been repaired, and it looks much neater than in the past.

The commander of the Greencastle guards, Knight Copman, and the senior priest of the Temple of the Earth, Pai Hill, greeted Li Wei in front of the main building.Seeing Li Wei hurriedly approaching surrounded by giant mountain knights, the Copman knight took two steps forward, tapped his breastplate to salute, and then said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Baron Levi, Mr. Donner insists on going, I can't help it." Stop him."

"I know Donna's character, and it's not your fault." Li Wei nodded in understanding, and then asked Pastor Paihill who was standing beside him, "How is the situation of His Excellency Vice Archbishop Beria?"

"The situation is very bad. I'm afraid it won't last long. My lord, please help him quickly..." Pastor Paihill bowed to Li Wei with obvious anxiety in his voice.Paihill's feelings are very sincere, because he has served as Beria's deacon pastor for five years. Whether it is from his inner feelings or his outlook on his future, he very much hopes that the vice archbishop of Beria can Get through this.

"I'll do my best." Li Wei couldn't help feeling nervous when he heard Paihill's words, and he stepped forward, followed closely by Paihill and Copman Knight.The giant mountain knights all wanted to follow, but although the corridor of the main building of the Green Castle is not narrow, it would be quite troublesome for so many armored knights to squeeze in, so the deputy captain Jerome stretched out his hand and motioned for the other giants to come. The mountain knight stood guard in front of the door, and followed him alone.

The room of Vice Archbishop Beria was as hot as a bathhouse. The fireplace was full of high-quality charcoal, and there were several braziers next to it, all of which were also emitting red flames.The archbishop of the Temple of Storms, Povais, sat by the bed and took care of the patient. When he saw Li Wei and others coming in, the burly bishop stood up to greet him.

"Friend of the Storm, may Tomica's grace be with you at all times."

"I salute you, Archbishop Bovais." Li Wei saluted him, and then stepped forward to visit Vice Archbishop Beria lying on the bed.

Beria's appearance was already very old. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he became even older. His body seemed to have shrunk. He was covered with a thick and heavy cowhide mattress, and his face was completely khaki. , It seems that there is no anger at all.His eyes were closed, his mouth was open, and his breathing was rapid, but it seemed to be very difficult, because his chest barely rose or fell.

"How is he?" Li Wei asked Archbishop Bovais in a low voice. The latter's two thick eyebrows were tightly locked together, and he sighed heavily, and replied: "It's not optimistic, Mr. Li Wei. For priests, it is very deadly."

"Is there no way?"

"The healing magic of the Temple of Storms is weak. I have tried it. Sorry, but I can't do anything." Archbishop Bovava said, "And I should remind you, Lord Li Wei, I know that you, the patron of the God of the Earth, , you can also cast healing spells. But the power that is tormenting Your Excellency Beria right now is the divine power of the earth, and your healing spells may only produce the opposite result."

"My healing magic doesn't come from the God of the Earth." Li Wei could only keep this sentence in his heart, nodded with a wry smile, "I understand, Mr. Bovava, is he asleep now? gone?"

"Earlier, I gave him some wine and painkillers, so that he can suffer less pain, and at the same time try to delay it for a while." Archbishop Bovava said, "But you came later than I estimated." Earlier, the wine and potions would have been enough to keep him asleep until evening or so."

"It turns out that's the case, then I'll just wait here for him to wake up." Li Wei said, and then persuaded the Archbishop of Beauvoir, who had been taking care of him all day, to rest. Everyone except Li Wei also left, because so many people gathered here would make the air stale, which is not good for weak patients.

After all the others left, Li Wei turned and closed the door, and lightly inserted the latch. After doing this, he returned to the bed of the vice archbishop of Beria and cast a healing spell on him .

The healing technique performed by Li Wei does not come from the power of a certain god, but the purest alchemy energy in the heart of the castle. It is the power that can heal even undead or demons. For Bailey, who was tortured by the power of the earth, For the vice archbishop of Asia, it is tantamount to a shot in the arm.

Beria's eyes opened all of a sudden, but it was obvious that he was not fully awake yet, because Li Wei was right in front of him, but he didn't seem to see anything, just muttered to himself: "Ka Kano, Kargino... forgive me, forgive me... no, I'm not afraid of death... but I don't want to be imprisoned in a petrified body... this kind of eternal life is more terrible than death..."

Then his eyes focused on Li Wei, panting violently, and then stretched out a withered arm towards him.

"Is it you? Your Excellency, God's Favored One, have you rushed back?"

"Yes, Donna notified me in time." Li Wei replied while holding Beria's outstretched hand. The feeling in his palm made the young lord frowned.

That hand didn't look like flesh and blood at all, it was as hard as a piece of wood!
"You saw...the backlash has begun." Beria seemed to want to show a wry smile, but his already stiff facial muscles forced him to grin. "It seems that I can't bear it any longer, Your Excellency." His voice was dry as if stones were rubbing against each other, "I'm afraid the agreement with you will be voided, and that child Paihill is not prestige enough to help you at all." What's the matter, please take care of me."

After struggling to finish these words, Beria closed his eyes quietly. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said: "There is one more thing to trouble you, please kill me."

Li Wei was so surprised that he almost cried out, "What are you talking about? Your Excellency, Deputy Archbishop Beria, how can I kill you?"

"You didn't do it. I'm also the deputy archbishop of the Earth Temple. It would be very troublesome to die here." Beria gasped violently for a few times, and forced himself to lift the quilt covering his body. Li Wei's gaze Landing on him, he gasped suddenly, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Is this the backlash of the divine power of the earth?"

The legs of Deputy Archbishop Beria had already turned into the color of rocks. They were real rocks, and in the field of vision of the probing technique, it was definitely not any flesh and blood!
"Do you understand now? Your Excellency God's Favored One." Beria's arm fell limply, struggling to say: "Arrange a carriage immediately, take me out of here, and then kill me on the way... the divine power of the earth It won't kill me... Backlash is not that kind, I will be imprisoned in a completely petrified body, unable to move, breathe, let alone speak, only my consciousness is clear."

The description of Vice Archbishop Beria made Li Wei shudder. This is indeed something more terrifying than death, but he quickly showed a relieved smile.

"It's nothing, His Excellency the vice archbishop of Beria, there is nothing you can do now. If you are willing to agree to a condition, I should be able to help you eliminate this..." He pointed to Beria's legs that had been completely petrified, "... ...God backlash."
