I, permanently add attributes, ascend to become a god

The elder tried to remain calm and reassured everyone, "Don't panic. We still have a backup plan for this ceremony. Let's continue with the ceremony!"

A fierce light flashed in her eyes, filled with madness. The ritual had to be completed no matter what. Unlike other cowards who were only afraid of death, she agreed to become an elder because Black Mist promised to help her complete the ritual, so she would not hesitate even at the cost of her life.

"That outsider may not know where I am. What if he just leaves?"

"Slow down, give me a little more time, as long as we save these people's lives it will be enough!"

Chapter 127 A Legend of a Generation

The next morning, the bloody sun rose.

San Lorenzo, outer city area, unnamed hut.

After a night's rest, Lin Chen had recovered. As he expected, that night was very quiet and the so-called elder had no energy to send anyone to hunt him down.

Lin Chen handed Tina a piece of compressed biscuit and said, "Ms. Tina, wait for me outside. I'll go to the inner city to take a look!"

Hearing this, Tina advised: "Mr. Chenxi, why don't we not go! I know a way to bypass the inner city area and leave San Lorenzo to the Holy City."

Ever since Lin Chen took Tina to the outer city yesterday, she has been quite uneasy after hearing what Lin Chen saw and heard.

"Mr. Chenxi, I don't want you to get hurt. Those people didn't hurt you yesterday, but what if there are more powerful enemies in the inner city?"

"We just need to go to the Holy City and report the situation at the border to the Church of Hope. This is the Church of Hope's business, and you don't have to get involved!"

"The entire San Lorenzo was massacred by those evil people. This is too dangerous."

Tina's eyes were blurred with tears, and her tender little white hands tightly grasped Lin Chen's clothes.

Lin Chen felt helpless. If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely follow Tina's advice and run as far away as possible. He would not risk his life to fight the evil of the black fog world to the death.

But the key is that Lin Chen is a player, a player who is willing to risk his life as long as the benefits are big enough.

Lin Chen dared to bet his head that the elder would definitely drop a top-notch blue box of the magic system. A mage who could set up a quadruple magic array, even with the help of apprentices, was very remarkable. Moreover, the elder was in a weak period because of presiding over the ceremony, and there were many mage apprentices assisting in the operation of the ceremony.

Lin Chen has already seen a pile of French boxes waiting for him. If he doesn’t take a chance, he will regret it even in his dreams.

Looking at the tearful girl, Lin Chen could only comfort her, "Don't worry, I'm quite capable of running away. Stay here and don't move. I've seen that everything around here is pretty safe."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lin Chen, Tina had to give up and with red eyes, she told Lin Chen to come back early.

-------

Lin Chen walked on the bloodstained street. There were weeds everywhere and the houses on both sides of the street were in dilapidated condition.

Following the road, Lin Chen entered the inner city openly. Since he had been locked down, Lin Chen did not want to play any perfect stealth tricks. Both parties knew each other very well.

A low voice was heard, and a cold wind blew through the abandoned building.

Lin Chen sighed, "The once prosperous inner city of San Lorenzo has become dilapidated in such a short period of time."

The multiple formation rituals have filled the entire San Lorenzo with the breath of the undead, causing the buildings to decay faster. If ordinary people live here for a long time, their physical fitness will basically decline and their lifespan will be shortened over time, and they will not live long.

As Lin Chen marched recklessly, he first arrived at the stronghold of the Church of Hope in the inner city.

"As expected of the Church of Hope in San Lorenzo, it's so luxurious!"

Lin Chen looked at the white building in front of him. In the inner city where every inch of land is valuable, it even had enough space to set up a square the size of several football fields.

The overall architectural style is grand and pure.

Lin Chen noticed that there were three stone sculptures over 20 meters high in the center of the square. They were statues of humans, but they were magnified many times.

The person in the middle has his hands clasped together as if praying to the sky. His entire body is covered in a robe, and it is impossible to tell whether he is a man or a woman.

Lin Chen read the inscription on the monument in front of him: "Saint!"

It is very concise and clear. There are no great achievements or flowery words. The word "saint" is enough.

Every human living in the world of black fog will never forget why they can survive under the erosion of the black fog.

On the left is a holy and beautiful woman.

"The first Pope of the Church of Hope." Lin Chen read the chronicle of his life, but compared to this Pope, the one on the right interested Lin Chen more.

He is a handsome man with a brilliant smile that is enough to warm one's body and soul. It must be said that the craftsman carved it very perfectly.

"Captain of the Pioneer Corps - Saint Nicholas - Son of Hope."

"Saint Nicholas was born in a poor family in the Holy City. He is the most talented and the strongest since the establishment of the Church of Hope. He has been practicing since he was young. At the age of ten, he defeated the guardian knight of the Church of Hope in the Holy City. At the age of fifteen, he was the bravest in the Holy City. At the age of eighteen, he led all the armies in the Holy City."

"In the 566th year of the Hope Calendar, Saint Nicolas personally established the Pioneer Corps, which marked the beginning of the most glorious era for the Church of Hope."

"In the year 573 of the Hopeful Era, the -year-old Saint Nicolas led a well-trained pioneering army and began to attack the black fog area from San Lorenzo."

......

"In the 583rd year of the Hope Calendar, under the leadership of Saint Nicolas, the pioneering army was invincible and undefeated. In ten years, a total of 125 human gathering points were opened up. This is the supreme honor."

"In the 585th year of the Hope Calendar, Saint Nicolas's injury relapsed in the Holy City and he died of a legendary illness..."

Lin Chen read the inscription on it softly. This legion commander is the protagonist in the legend. The inscription on it is his life of cheating. At the age of 15, he is the bravest in the Holy City. What kind of god is this?

He took the initiative to open up the black fog area and succeeded. When Lin Chen thought of the rolling black fog, he didn't even dare to open up the area, let alone rub around it. The main thing was to follow his heart.

Lin Chen sighed and said, "It seems that the expansion of the black fog area has also exhausted the foundation of the Church of Hope. Originally, the Church of Hope could slowly recover by relying on the income from many gathering points. Then, it will wait for the next Saint Nicolas to continue the expansion. In this way, perhaps the black fog can be dispelled."

"These gathering points are the result of more than 570 years of heritage of the Holy City and the efforts of powerful men like Saint Nicholas. If you calculate the time, this Son of Hope, the most powerful person in history, didn't even live to be 40 years old."

“I’m afraid this legion commander could not have imagined that more than 200 years later, I, Lin Chen, would be standing in the ruins of San Lorenzo and watching his deeds. All my life’s hard work would be wasted!”

After watching the life of a legendary figure, Lin Chen was deeply moved. He couldn't help but change the flavor of the snacks in his hand and placed a bag of spicy strips as an offering under the statue of St. Nicholas.

Lin Chen shouted, "I hope this legendary Saint Nicholas can sleep peacefully in the underworld. Although if it were me, I would definitely be so angry that I couldn't sleep. But it doesn't matter. If you can't sleep, just get up and eat some spicy noodles."

Lin Chen had a hunch that perhaps the two of them would meet again.

Lin Chen stared at the Hope Church's stronghold and chuckled, "Now it's time to get down to business. If everything goes as expected, the core formation of the quadruple formation is inside the stronghold."

"Let's fight it out!"

Lin Chen confidently stepped into the hall holding the Qinghong Sword, his cloak fluttering behind him.

......

"It seems that it is not here, how strange!"

Lin Chen carefully turned the base of the Church of Hope upside down, trying to find an underground passage or something, but unfortunately, Lin Chen found nothing except a pile of corpses.

Aginija from Cartagena and the trio met yesterday, all four of them are nuns of the Church of Hope. Based on his experience, Lin Chen thought that the final core formation would be set up at the Church of Hope stronghold that they are most familiar with.

After a long and futile effort, Lin Chen stood at the top of the Hope Church stronghold.

Lin Chen covered his face and said, "It's a little embarrassing. It's really unexpected. It just ignited. Where is this damn core formation?"

Chapter 128: The Resting Place of the Heroic Spirits

Lin Chen stood on the top of the building and fell into deep thought: "If the ceremony is not held at the Hope Church base, where else can it be held?"

"The core formation, the soul fire of the dead, the unknown ritual... where will they be hidden?" Lin Chen kept recalling the clues. At this moment, Lin Chen caught a glimpse of the three huge statues in the square in front of the Hope Church's stronghold.

"Wait, statue, pioneer corps!"

Lin Chen said to the air: "I think I know where it is!"

-----------

San Lorenzo, inner city area.

"Where the heroic spirits rest!"

Lin Chen whispered: "This is the place!"

The world is pure white. At the entrance stands a tall snow-white marble doorpost, with fine patterns on it glimmering, as if telling the glory and magnificence of the deceased. On both sides of the doorpost are long white wind curtains, gently fluttering, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

The Garden of Heroes, a holy place, bears the glory and sacrifice of countless heroes. The pioneering army 200 years ago basically rests here.

Lin Chen walked into the Garden of Heroes. On both sides of the road in the garden were neatly arranged white tombstones, each of which looked particularly clear and solemn, with the names and deeds of the soldiers engraved on them. The tombstones were surrounded by white tulips, which swayed in the breeze, as if singing a peaceful elegy for the deceased.

Surrounded by countless tombstones, Lin Chen came to the center of the Garden of Heroes. There stood a tall monument made of smooth black granite, facing the sky and towering into the clouds.

The monument is inlaid with silver-edged names and deeds, as if it is a witness to time.

Lin Chen closed his eyes and sensed with all his strength, not missing any clues.

"I found you! You are a bunch of sewer rats. Although you are well hidden, it's a pity that although I am not a mage, I am a bit good at intelligence attributes."

The large amount of soul fire required for the ceremony was too active. Despite the layers of obstruction, its fluctuations were still felt by Lin Chen. Under Lin Chen's perception, waves of ominous and cold aura came from the bottom of the monument.

Lin Chen walked around the monument, stomping his feet hard as he walked.

Lin Chen murmured, "It's all solid, without any compartments! But my perception can't be wrong."

Zheng!

With a flip of his hand, Lin Chen drew his sword from its sheath, and the Qinghong Sword made a leaping sound in his hand.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with apology: "I'm sorry!"

The Qinghong Sword chopped hard at the monument. Although the materials used for the monument were all top-grade, it was just ordinary stone after all.

Soon, the Qinghong Sword cut the monument into dozens of pieces of rubble. Lin Chen cleaned up the rubble one by one, revealing the bottom hidden under the monument.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Lin Chen tentatively struck the ground with the Qinghong Sword, and as expected, a clear and pleasant echo was emitted.

"I really don't know what the mechanism is, so I can only break it with violence!"

Lin Chen shook his head. Who knows where the switch is?

"Looking at this situation, I'm afraid the layout had already begun when the monument was built. Was it planned more than 200 years ago?"

Lin Chen was surprised at the patience of the person behind the scenes, and hoped that the church’s foundation was so strong that it took people more than 200 years to plan before launching the operation.

Under the Qinghongjian brand excavator, a large black hole soon appeared in front of Lin Chen.

The cave is not very deep, about 5 meters. There is a rope ladder clinging to the wall. At the bottom is a passage paved with green tiles and stones. It is unknown where it leads to.

Lin Chen sniffed tentatively above the cave and smelled a fishy odor mixed with a faint woman's fragrance. It was obvious that someone had been coming in and out frequently in recent times.

Lin Chen confirmed: "Very good, they didn't go so far as to poison it."

He didn't have any anti-poison props. Thinking of this, Lin Chen was shocked and quickly took out a small notebook and wrote: "Damn it, I didn't even prepare the simplest anti-poison props. I don't know how I dared to go out before!"

Closing the notebook and looking at the passage under his feet, Lin Chen thought of his three good employees and it was time to go to work.

"Call the Guard!"

"Go down and walk around! Move your muscles more. This is good for your health. Staying in the token every day is not good for your health."

As a boss who cares about his employees, Lin Chen patted his employee on the shoulder and expressed his blessings to him with earnest words.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, the guard puppets obviously agreed.

Without saying a word, he climbed down the rope ladder, then walked into the passage with the sword in his hand.

Lin Chen squatted in the cave and listened quietly to the situation of the employees.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Lin Chen heard a faint mechanical sound, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, and the guard puppet that went down for a walk flew out from the passage, and seven or eight feather arrows nailed it to the wall of the cave. Then the whole body turned into fragments and dissipated in the air.

Looking at the trembling arrow, one can even see the azure coating on the arrowhead, which is obviously highly poisonous.

Lin Chen shuddered violently and laughed dryly, "You're back! Pretty quick! Never mind, if you want to be lazy, then be lazy. I'm a cheerful person."

"Calling the Guard."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

"Calling the Guard."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He did not receive any alarm from the security puppet.

"It looks like it should be fine."

Lin Chen flipped over and jumped into the pit, continuing to move forward on the green tile stone ground.

Lin Chen walked very smoothly for several hundred meters and finally found the third security team puppet at the last corner.

Its body was in tatters and its health was almost gone.

Lin Chen said distressedly: "How did it become like this? Don't worry, I will never let those culprits go."
