Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The night watchmen present felt relieved when they saw the token with the seraphim engraved on it.

No wonder he was so evil, he turned out to be someone from the Inquisition.

A middle-aged oriental man walked out of the night watchman and saluted: "Ma Tengfei, high-risk night watchman of the Diocese of Beihai Province, please give me instructions."

"Lu Chen, is this the first scene?"

Lu Chen looked at the ruins in front of him and asked.

"We are just guarding here. The order from above is to wait for people from the royal capital to come. We have not gone in to check."

Ma Tengfei explained.

Lu Chen nodded and walked into the ruins. He could see with his spiritual consciousness that there were the bodies of some young people in the Stonehenge behind the manor. None of the victims had the aura of their strange origins. They were probably just mortals and had not yet begun to become official night watchmen. .

His consciousness swept across the ruins, and there were twenty boys and girls who died on the scene. He had read in the intelligence that there should be a total of twenty-one people in training.

He turned around and asked, "Are there any survivors?"

Ma Tengfei stepped out of the queue and sighed, "No, they are all the remains of young children, and the conditions of death are not good."

Lu Chen was thoughtful, which meant that since there was no witness, he could only reconstruct what happened at the scene.

He walked through the ruins and came to the original backyard of the building. In the backyard stood the only intact building, a small ancestral hall.

He followed the path mentioned in the intelligence and went to the bottom of the ancestral hall. Sure enough, the guardian dagger was gone.

Guardian suits were mentioned in the information. It is said that only guardians can use them to exert their power, but it is not impossible for non-guardians to touch them, otherwise the church would not be able to transfer these items over the years.

It's just that if you are not a guardian, using these equipment is no different from ordinary equipment. The distance with the guardian's dagger will become like a dagger forged from mortal iron.

The stand that was originally used to place the Guardian's Dagger was also a special mysterious item. Now it has been destroyed. It was originally able to build a barrier, which is difficult to break through with power below the special level.

Lu Chen left the ancestral hall and went to the back courtyard, observing the site and passing through the stone formation filled with the smell of blood.

When he came to the back of Stonehenge, he saw a group of corpses of priests of the Church of Eternal Night. On the periphery, there was a dead silver-haired girl holding the head of a blond boy, and the two died together.

These young boys and girls are ordinary people. It can be seen that they are well-trained. They still killed many people under the attack of extraordinary people and are fighting against their fate.

If they had not died in such a thing, they would have been elite night watchmen guarding one side in the future, making contributions to the empire and the people.

But they died, unreasonably killed by the extraordinary before they could obtain extraordinary power.

Ten years of hard training and study were burned down, and in the end they became only a cold corpse in this boring night.

Lu Chen scanned the surrounding environment and continued to move forward by following the traces. The light of the campfire could not shine, but his martial arts eyes could see things in the dark night no differently than in the daytime.

After walking for about five miles, he saw a ball of blood on the ground, with a strange aura flowing on it, which had been wiped away by a strong force.

He used some tracing methods and cooperated with the martial arts heavenly eye to condense the plasma on the ground and vaguely restored his own appearance. He was a very elegant oriental boy.

Not far away, there was a hairless old man in yellow cloth lying there, his chest was bright red, and his vitality had long since disappeared.

Lu Chen squatted down and felt the aura of the old man. It was the same as the piece of yellow paper in the document given to him when the church assigned the task. This should be the manager of this place, Master Yideng.

The time of death should not exceed fifteen minutes, which means that Master Yideng should still be alive when the messenger comes to the hotel to find him.

He took out the yellow paper, tapped Master Yideng's chest with his fingers, stuck some blood on it, and soaked it on the yellow paper.

Strange things happened on the yellow paper. The blood spread on the yellow paper and gradually turned into several arrows, pointing in several directions.

One of the arrows is the thickest, the other is slightly thinner, and there are several others that stretch on the yellow paper like needles and threads, and as time goes by, the directional aura on the yellow paper gradually weakens.

Obviously, Master Yideng has fought against more than one person, and the thickest one should be his most important opponent. He hopes that the church can find the person left by the other party.

This is a tracking method given to him by the church. Those who have fought against Master Yideng, even if they can kill him, cannot escape easily and will be entangled by this strange aura for a long time.

Lu Chen squatted on the ground and inspected Master Yideng's body. He found that there were not many external injuries on Master Yideng's body, but his body's functions had been greatly depleted. He should have been close to exhaustion before he died. What really caused his death was It was a wound on the chest, as if it had been pierced by something sharp.

After carefully examining the wound, Lu Chen judged that it should be a dagger with a blade length of no more than twenty centimeters and a slender blade.

After observing for a moment, Lu Chen closed Master Yideng's open eyes and stood up, thoughtfully.

It was a dagger that killed Master Yideng. Isn't this too coincidental? It's hard not to think of the Guardian's dagger.

Could it be that the kid named Clement killed Master Yideng in the end? Why did he do this? Was it being manipulated or forced?

Lu Chen opened the team channel, used his spiritual thoughts to cast the various clues he collected along the way into images, and sent them to Chu Zihang through the team channel. If the other party was not busy, he hoped that Chu Zihang could help analyze it.

"Mr. Lu, do we need to do anything?"

Ma Tengfei followed Lu Chen and asked cautiously when he saw that the other party had stopped investigating.

Lu Chen shook his head, "You guys stay here and continue to maintain the scene. I want to catch up and take a look."

At this time, Ma Tengfei's chest squirmed, as if something was settling inside. Seeing Lu Chen raise his hand, Ma Tengfei said quickly: "Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong, this is an emergency contact device held by the province."

As he spoke, he took out a small bowl from his chest. The material of the bowl looked very strange, like some kind of soft body, which was constantly twisting and squirming. At this time, a voice came from the mouth of the bowl, "The special envoy from the royal capital is here. Yes, please let him transfer."

Upon hearing this, Ma Tengfei handed the small bowl to Lu Chen respectfully.

"I'm Lu Chen."

After Lu Chen took it, he said, "I don't know what Wangdu wants to inform at this time."

Because Xiaowan was only speaking on behalf of the person opposite and could not hear the person's accent, Lu Chen did not know which senior person in the church the person opposite was.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Bolton Gregory. You may have heard of me. Time is tight. We will leave the matter of getting to know each other until next time. I am contacting you urgently. I just want to convey your new mission."

Lu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that one of the Four Knights of Dawn would contact him.

"Any changes?"

His original mission was to bring back the Guardian Dagger and ensure the safety of Clement. If possible, it would be best to protect the lives of the boys and girls who guarded the place of inheritance.

But the capital was too far away. Even if he arrived as quickly as possible, it took him twenty minutes before the other party had already evacuated, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Clement is probably not dead. What on earth did the Eternal Night Church want to do by taking him away? Could it be that he wants to instigate rebellion against the guardians cultivated by the Morning Support Church?

"Mr. Lu can choose the new mission. One is to turn back and return to the capital. The other is to carefully track the evacuated team of the Yongye Church, but if possible, try not to take action."

Burton recounted.

"Why?"

Lu Chen frowned. He had already run over and saw the bodies of children lying on the ground. Now you are telling me to withdraw?

"The power of the Eternal Night Church's actions is far stronger than we expected. It may be dangerous for you to go alone. The current losses are already huge. If we lose another special elite, it will be unbearable for the church."

Bolton explained, "There will be stronger people handling this matter. Don't be impulsive until the situation is clear."

Lu Chen pondered for a few seconds, "Then I choose second."

"Mr. Lu, please pay attention to your own safety."

Burton replied.

Before cutting off the call, Lu Chen looked at the direction pointed by the thickest arrow, the darkness of the night was deep, "By the way, if I kill a few important figures in the Eternal Night Church, will there be a bonus?"

There was silence for a while, obviously not expecting Lu Chen to ask such a question, but in the end Bolton said: "If you can do it, of course the church will give you the honor you deserve."

The call was cut off, and Lu Chen threw the small bowl to Ma Tengfei.

"Xian Lu..."

Before Ma Tengfei could say anything, he felt the ground tremble, and his body became weightless and fell downwards.

The strong wind and earth and gravel splashed, and the figure wearing a black windbreaker rose into the sky, leaving a huge deep hole in the wilderness.

Ma Tengfei crawled out of the pit and wiped the dirt from his face, "Is this the special grade of the Royal Capital..."

…………

To the north of Beihai Province, the land becomes increasingly barren.

This is the northernmost part of the empire, and further north is the Sea of ​​Nothingness.

In the cold winter, the vegetation on this land is covered with a layer of frost, and it is difficult to see human habitation for thousands of miles.

The ocean is a forbidden area for the Sistine Empire. It is rumored that there are terrible monsters hidden in the deep sea. There are endless mysteries, and those who explore will never end well.

There are also rumors that the end of the Second Era is related to the Sea of ​​Nothingness.

Decades after the founding of the Sistine Empire, the country was prosperous and stable. The first pope of the Church of the Morning Embrace and the monarch of the Sistine Empire at that time went to sea together.

The most technologically advanced ships built at that time, the magnificent fleet went to sea, but in the end they never returned.

The first pope of the Morning Embrace Church disappeared, and the prince of the empire succeeded to the throne, opening a new chapter.

Just near such an ominous and mysterious area, there were several figures walking leisurely on the ground.

Walking at the forefront was a slender woman in a black dress, about 1.68 meters tall, with a waist as thin as a water snake, black hair tied on top of her head, a black gauze headdress, and nothing on her face. , but it seems that it is always covered with a veil, making it difficult for people to see its true appearance.

She has a gentle and luxurious temperament. If you see this beautiful woman at a noble party, many people may think that she is an easy-to-get-together woman and come to strike up a conversation.

But a special-level person present, as well as the arrogant Sin Archbishop of the Eternal Night Church, did not dare to speak out.

It was not just fear, but also respect and admiration from the heart.

This is the second most powerful human being in this world, the Pope of the Eternal Night Church, Mona O'Sullivan.

Although she had never fought against the Pope of Morning Embrace Church, she humbly admitted that she was no match for that man.

"My little Clement, are you tired? We can rest for a while."

Mona touched Clement's head tenderly like a mother. It was obvious that this boy was taller than her.

A smile appeared on Clement's face, as if he was enjoying the woman's touch. He shook his head, "It's okay. When can we evacuate completely?"

"Don't worry, we will leave safely, no one can keep us."

Mona smiled and looked at the sky in the distance, "It's almost time. We will go home soon, to your new family."

"I am looking forward."

Clement nodded.

"Clement..."

Mona called out the other person's name, but said nothing.

Clement's hand holding the dagger tightened, "His Majesty the Pope, is there anything else you can do?"

"I just want to ask...we killed those classmates of yours, will you feel sad and sad?"

Mona looked into Clement's eyes. Her dark eyes were as deep as the waves of the sea of ​​nothingness.

Clement was silent for a while, his eyebrows lowered, and finally he raised his head with a bright smile, "How could it be? They always bully me and laugh at me in training. Your Majesty the Pope just did what I wanted to do. "

Mona looked into Clement's eyes without saying anything. After a while, she nodded, "What a heartless child... But they don't love you, so why should you be sad?"

"Then will His Majesty the Pope love me?"

Clement asked rhetorically.

Mona opened her delicate arms, hugged Clement into her arms, and gently stroked Clement's hair with her hand covered with black gauze, "Of course, you deserve it."

The accompanying members of the Eternal Night Church did not dare to make a sound, their eyebrows were lowered, and they stood there motionless.

After a long time, Mona let go of Clemant, turned around and said, "I'm a little regretful that Ji Wujiu didn't come, but it looks like we still gained something."

While turning her back to Clement, Mona still sighed in her heart. The young man's acting skills were really too stiff.

But one day, maybe you will understand that eternal night is the truth.

"Aston, the guests are here."

Mona looked to the southeast and spoke in a calm voice.

Aston later realized that his range of perception was certainly inferior to His Majesty the Pope.

But the next moment, he didn't need to carefully sense the aura in the distance, because the visitor was approaching here without any concealment.

The bloody evil energy soaring into the sky caused the heaven and earth to shake slightly, and the dazzling red light, like the scorching sun, rose under the night, dispelling all darkness.
