Chapter 40 Finalize the plan
The Twilight Brotherhood and Hylia's Lightblessed sect belong to two different sects.
If the Lightborn are committed to collecting and protecting knowledge and sealing dangerous arcane items to prevent the outside world from falling into chaos, then the Twilight Brotherhood's proposition seems particularly simple - to save lives and heal the wounded.
These monks have been in the company of the dead all year round, and have a good understanding of the subtle boundaries between life and death. They have almost undertook the funeral and end-of-life ceremonies for the entire Fuguang Island.
Most Hylians like to call them "Soul Shepherds".
As a monk with the gift of "yin and yang eyes", Yorick can communicate directly with the dead.
After some mutual introductions, Zendakaya mainly introduced Yorick and the Twilight Brotherhood to Josh and Ryze.
Afterwards, Zendakaya found a relatively clean table, pushed all the books and scrolls on it to the ground with his big hands, and then asked his two assistants to bring in the stone chairs.
"Time is running out, let's start the meeting now!"
It was as if they had guessed what Josh, Ryze and Yorick were thinking, and they seemed to be mumbling to themselves.
Before the meeting started, Zendakaya added: "Oh~~ Forget about my other two assistants. They can't help with anything except cleaning... Oops, they always mess up our things.
put!"
"It's not 'you', it's us. We are already a team."
"Ahem..." Piotr cleared his throat.
As for Ryze...
Of course, this is just a conclusion reached by the three sentinels through theoretical research and has not yet been put into practice.
"That should be the ghost lingering near the source of the water of life collected by your Twilight Brotherhood." Aila looked horrified.
"Blessed by light, he just starved to death. How pitiful..."
The three sentries are seizing the time to complete the final stage of assembling the sacred stone weapons.
Quietly kicking Ryze under the table, when the panicked junior brother looked at him, Josh gave him a serious look.
He paused for two seconds and then added: "Different from all the undead I have seen in daily life, those white ghosts...how to describe them? Instead of returning to rest, they are full of life, but this is impossible for the dead.
thing.
Zendakaya slipped into the depths of the workshop and returned within a few seconds. The various debris piled on the road could not slow her down at all.
He is just an "add-on" and he was not included in Zendakaya's original plan.
One of them has the power of the Darkin and can also release powerful rune magic, and the other can communicate with the dead, although they do not know whether those faceless ghosts still have the sanity of the human period.
"Yes, a curse!" Zendakaya nodded mysteriously, "This is also the main reason why I invite you all to come here today."
…
His voice is deep and strong, and he speaks with a strong local accent.
"This is the focus of what we are going to talk about today." Zhendakaya became rarely serious, "The curse of the Water of Life, it is Blessed Island, a gift given to us by this land, and at the same time it is a curse."
Taking advantage of this time, Ruiz called Josh out of the door and came to a remote corner at the end of the corridor.
"Okay, don't go off on tangents...wait for me a moment!"
What she brought was a rough drawing of the faceless white ghost that Josh and Riz had encountered.
Those holy stone weapons made of holy stones, which do not require reloading ammunition and can be activated by will alone, have miraculous effects on the undead.
Piotr cast his doubtful gaze on his boss and hesitated: "Because...the curse?"
I feel the grains of sand under my hands... Greer is dead, and no one knows that I stole the water of life.
"Water of Life?" Yorick asked, "Why don't you let outsiders know about the Water of Life?"
He glanced at Aila's smooth head.
…
"Eh... forget it, I don't want to stay with a bunch of boring men every day..."
"According to our guess, those strange wandering undead souls seem to be bound to reality by the water of life after death. They cannot go to the spiritual world to return to peace, but they will be attracted by magic or people carrying the water of life."
Therefore, Josh and Yorick are Zendakaya's backup men.
Aila raised her chin to signal. Aila, who had already cooperated with her tacitly, instantly guessed Zendakaya's intention and said:
Then, with a playful look on her face, she said, "Although the Light Blesseds don't want the outside world to know the existence of the Water of Life, now in order to deal with those dead souls, those old diehards have to let us take action."
Speaking of this, no one except Josh noticed Ritz's sudden change of expression.
Ruiz looked around and quickly recited the words of meditation silently, suppressing the tension in his heart and returning to his nonchalant appearance.
"This was found by the Light Blessed from an abandoned warehouse in the jurisdiction of Erok Greer, the warden of Thresh who was killed by the Dark One. No wonder he was able to find so much water of life."
Yorick took out a small transparent and luminous bottle from the collar of his black robe, "Water of life, water of the holy spring, according to the name of the Brotherhood - Tears of Life. It is a divine object that can save lives and heal the wounded. Where did the curse come from?"
Say it?"
"The next day I asked the Brotherhood Bishop, but he remained silent and warned me not to explore the source of those white ghosts..."
"According to the limited information provided to us by Archbishop Margusa, these undead come from the underground of the Shining Light Tower, the source of the fountain of life, the Wanzai Well.
"Sorry." Yorick shook his head, "Although Tears of Life can be replenished, it is too precious. Unless absolutely necessary, I cannot give it to outsiders... I mean, you can join the Brotherhood."
Suddenly realizing that what she said was inappropriate, Aila added: "I don't mean to offend, in fact, I really like the spicy liquor brewed by your brotherhood!"
Not only is it a map, it also has very delicate data and dotted lines drawn on it. In many places, there are also notes on how to enter certain forbidden areas that are blocked by magic.
"Oh my god, I was suspicious from the beginning. I didn't expect that your bottle is really the water of life?!" Aila looked surprised, "Can I take a look?"
"Archbishop Margusa just asked us to investigate the situation of the Wanzai Well, but..." She chuckled, "The Sentinels have always been about solving all future troubles!"
"What is this?" Yorick felt that the pattern on this scroll looked familiar, and frowned and said, "Last night in the past, I got up to go to the toilet, and I seemed to have seen such a white ghost in the Twilight Church."
At this time, Josh, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted: "So, is the task Margusa gave you to destroy these undead?"
She took out a stack of parchment scrolls from her shoulder bag and spread them out on the table. Everyone was surprised to find that it was Thresh's accurate map.
Yorick held up the bottle on his chest and stared at the glowing holy water inside, thoughtfully.
"Look at this."
Recalling the unbearable past, Ruiz's face turned even paler, and he began to regret why he took the initiative to participate in this operation.
Zendakaya, who was opposite Ryze, realized that he had gone off topic and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm doing my old habits again."
"Not only this, the Light Blessed also said that they found the former warden Maxim in a certain warehouse who was tortured until he became inhuman...
Zhendakaya blinked at Josh, raised the corner of his mouth in an arc, and took out a holy stone crossbow without a launch slot and trigger from somewhere and raised it to the side of his face.
Seeing Ritz's face tense and pacing back and forth as if hesitating, Josh shook his head and said, "If you are still afraid of ghosts, I don't recommend you participate in this operation."
"Not because of this!"
Ryze frowned and smacked his lips, and stood silent for a few seconds. Then, as if he had strengthened his confidence, he took out a ball about a palm long from his pocket, with a sharp lower end and four prominent symmetrical geometric figures carved on the top.
The keystone is also engraved with symmetrical arcane runes.
"One of the keystones of the Wanzai Well... I stole it from Greer when I was fighting with him."
