Chapter 17 Black Rod Guard(1/2)
After a long time, the brilliance gradually faded, and Fanny slowly opened her eyes. Everyone stared at her and found that the crown of Antebili seemed to have changed a bit after waking up. The shape was somewhat similar to a ribbon that bound hair. The only thing that remained unchanged was
, is the Tianxin Seal located in the center and the shining gem on the crown.
Vincent said softly: "Fanny, how do you feel?"
Fanny smiled slightly, the look in her eyes was still pure and bright: "Dad, mom is not leaving."
"oh?"
Fanny pointed to her heart: "She is in my heart forever."
Vincent smiled. Although his expression was still a little sad, he felt much better when he saw his daughter's innocent expression. Fanny looked at her father's face with mixed joy and sorrow, walked to him gently, and hugged him.
Holding his waist and whispering: "Dad, don't be sad, as long as I am by your side, mother will not go far." He gently hugged his daughter, ran his fingers through her black hair, and Vincent gave a long voice.
Sigh: "Silly boy."
At this time, Cheney coughed and said, "Vincent, let's go up. I want to see how the young master's injury is."
Vincent was surprised and said: "Yes, let's go up quickly."
Everyone left the stone hall and walked into the tunnel again. After walking for a while, Cheney suddenly said: "Vincent, I'm a little worried."
"worry about what?"
"What will we do if the young master's injury cannot be cured?"
Vincent was stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "No, this is the headquarters of the royal family. Isn't it possible to cure this crazy person?"
Shasilan interjected: "I think Cheney's worries are justified. I just thought of it. I wonder if you noticed that when Wei En told Priest Lucia about Mad Heart, her expression changed obviously.
He seemed surprised."
"Yes." Cheney continued: "It stands to reason that with the experience and experience of the female priest, if it was not a big trouble, how could she show that expression? It seems that crazy heart is also very difficult for her."
Vincent nodded and looked back at Wei En: "Wei En, what do you think?"
Wei En shook his head and said: "I can't say, let's take it one step at a time."
Everyone walked out of the tunnel and returned to the church. As soon as he stepped out of the embossed secret door, Vincent found that the church had returned to its original state. There were six or seven people standing at the gate. The leader was Priest Lucia. Behind her
Among the people, there were men and women, all dressed in fine clothes, and most of them had gray hair. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. Vincent took Fanny's hand and walked to her.
Lucia's eyes were unblinking, staring at Fanny's face. Ripples of excitement gradually appeared in her usually calm eyes. Then, she knelt down in front of Fanny, her head on the ground, and her voice trembled.
She revealed her uncontrollable ecstasy: "Sacrifice Lucia at the Sunbird Temple, welcome the return of the Saint!" Immediately afterwards, a row of people behind her knelt down and chanted in unison: "Welcome the return of the Saint!"
The loud and neat voice echoed throughout the entire church, and the lights on the wall were swaying due to the resonance of the voice. Fanny shrank and was about to step back, but Vincent tightened his hold on her little hand.
Fanny looked up at her father, her eyes full of timidity. Vincent smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Fanny, you are now a saint, you have to try to accept the respect of others.
.”
Fanny felt the warmth and trust conveyed in her father's eyes, pursed her lips, nodded, turned to the people kneeling in front of her and said: "Priest Lucia, gentlemen and ladies, please get up quickly, there is too much on the ground.
It’s cold!”
Lucia raised her head, her eyes were wet, but there was a joyful smile on her lips. She did not get up, but held her hands in front of Fanny. In her palm was a jade ring, which was the star revelation.
"Please wear the Star Revelation and complete the coronation of the Saint."
Fanny thought for a while. This time, she did not look up at her father. Instead, she stretched out her fingers and let Lucia's trembling hands bring the Star Revelation to her. Then she took Lucia's hand and pulled her
He was pulled up from the ground. Others stood up as well.
Lucia smiled and said: "Please invite the saint and all guests to the lounge, we are ready."
"Wait a minute," Wei En said: "Priest Lucia, I would like to know how my friend's injury is?"
Lucia was slightly startled and said: "I can't explain this matter at the moment. Please allow me to tell you later. Now please follow me to the lounge." After saying that, she turned and walked out. Wei En
He had no choice but to follow everyone out of the church.
When they came to the spacious lounge, everyone sat down one by one. There were exquisite pictures hanging around the walls of the lounge, but Wei En was not in the mood to appreciate them at the moment. Two young maids poured water for everyone, and Wei En drank from the cup.
He took a big mouthful and said, "Priest Lucia, can you tell me now?"
"Okay." Lucia replied: "Mr. Wei En, to be honest, we don't have the antidote for madness right now."
"What?" Cheney suddenly stood up from his chair.
There was a crisp sound of "Crack", and everyone hurriedly looked over. The cup in Wei En's hand had broken into pieces, and blood immediately stained his right hand. Lucia raised her eyebrows and shouted hurriedly: "Nanding!"
With a reply, a figure appeared outside the side door of the lounge. "Teacher, what can I do?"
"Mr. Wei'en's hand is injured. Please take care of it quickly."
"No need," Wei En said with a livid face, "Priest Lucia, I don't understand why you don't have an antidote?"
Lucia sighed, "Gentlemen, please don't get excited. Please let me finish."
Cheney gritted his teeth and sat back in his seat. Wei En endured the pain and did not continue to ask.
"The poison of madness is indeed the unique weapon of the royal family, but its antidote and its antidote are made and kept by specialized high-level priests. The affairs of the royal family have always been carried out according to their own duties, and this person fled the Holy City more than ten years ago.
, there is no news so far. If I hadn’t met you, I would have thought that this person would have died long ago. So when you mentioned Crazy Heart, I was surprised.”
"Without an antidote, can we just watch the young master die?" Cheney asked urgently.
"I'm sorry, but we can't help with the antidote unless we find him. Otherwise..." Lucia shook her head and did not finish her sentence.
After hearing this, Wei En's heart sank.
At this time, Nanding came to Wei'en carrying a small medicine box and said: "Mr. Wei'en, please give me your hand."
Wei En handed his hand to Nan Ding, who took out cotton wool and a bandage and carefully scrubbed Wei En's wound with a very gentle and skillful technique. Wei En only felt that the pain was much lighter. Although he was worried at the moment, he still couldn't help but say:
"Thank you, Nan Ding." Nan Ding was busy concentrating on her work and smiled slightly when she heard the words.
At this time, Vincent suddenly said: "Priest Lucia, I don't understand something. You don't have the antidote for madness. If one of your own people is poisoned, is there nothing you can do?"
Lucia thought for a while and said: "Since this person left, the Crazy Heart Virus has also disappeared, and no one in the royal family has been poisoned. However, we did have other methods of healing and detoxifying before, but this method may not be suitable for you.
Humanity."
Cheney cheered up: "What is the method? Let's hear it first."
Lucia was silent and did not answer. Everyone saw the solemn expression on her face and looked at each other, wondering why she became hesitant. After a long time, she sighed: "I originally wanted to ask you to take a rest first. If you
If you feel you are not tired yet, please come with me." After saying that, she stood up, walked to Fanny, and said respectfully: "Saint Fanny, I want to ask you to look at something now."
Fanny said in shock: "What?"
"You'll know when you get to the place. Let's go and see it together."
Wei'en was about to get up when Nanding suddenly said softly: "Mr. Wei'en, I have bandaged your hand. Please be careful not to hurt the wound again. I will change your dressing regularly."
Wei En was stunned. He raised his right hand, which had been carefully wrapped with a white bandage, and said in surprise: "So fast? I don't even feel anything. Your medical skills are very powerful!"
Nanding smiled and bowed: "Thank you."
Wei En thought for a moment and asked, "How is my friend doing?"
"It's relatively stable at the moment. But it won't last too long. Mr. Wei'en, if you can't find the antidote in time, you have to be mentally prepared." Nan Ding replied calmly. Wei'en's face darkened, but he
Having no idea, he sighed and followed everyone out of the lounge.
After leaving the lounge, everyone followed Lucia through a corridor and stepped onto a stone staircase leading to the upper floors. There were also exquisite and gorgeous statues carved on both sides of the stone steps. However, at this moment, everyone was in no mood to appreciate and sigh this past.
Luxury and brilliance. As we climbed up the two stone steps, a cold wind hit our faces. Everyone looked up and saw a rectangular doorway standing at the end of the stairs. Through the lights next to the door, the dark sky outside could be faintly seen.
Walking out of the stone gate, the wind was howling, there was no cloud or moon, and everyone saw a wide terrace. In the center of the terrace stood a pyramid-like building, but the top was not a tapered structure, but a flat stone platform; the stone tower
It is about ten meters high, with stone steps all around, and the flickering lights on both sides of the steps lead to the platform at the top.
Under the gloomy and heavy sky, the stone tower stands proudly, its straight and hard curves outline a majestic scene, like a brave and unyielding fighter, no matter how great the pressure, no matter how long the test, it will never stop.
Will kneel down and worship in front of the enemy. Xia Silan stared at this solemn, mysterious and vicissitudes of building, but suddenly had a strong impulse to worship in his heart. Faintly, he felt that he was approaching the former palace of the Sunbird Royal Family step by step.
Glorious legend.
Wei En was the last one to walk out of the stone door. He looked around and found that he was on the roof terrace of the Navarre Temple. He could have an unobstructed view of the surrounding scenery, but the darkness of the night and the foggy clouds made it impossible to see into the distance.
Turning his eyes to the building in front of him, Wei En could vaguely see an object standing on the stone tower, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Lucia did not speak. She led everyone to the bottom of the stone tower, stopped, clasped her hands together, raised them to her forehead, lowered her head and said some words that no one could understand, with an extremely pious and respectful expression on her face. Everyone
Waiting with bated breath, no one made a sound. At this moment, everyone knew that the stone tower in front of them might be the most sacred symbol of the royal family.
Finally, Lucia stopped praying, glanced at the people behind her, and said: "Please follow me. If it is not necessary, please do not speak loudly. Here rests the Holy Spirit of the royal family for generations."
Step by step, the stone steps passed under the feet, and the end of the stone tower gradually came into view. Wei En suddenly discovered that although the stone steps here looked old and outdated, they were not infested with weeds and did not look like the acropolis below the temple.
dilapidated.
"It seems that someone is still taking care of this place." Wei En was thinking when suddenly, a loud shout came from the stone tower, like thunder and a flash flood. Everyone was shocked. "Everyone, please stop."
Surprise, this is the black staff guard guarding the Holy Grail." After Lucia finished speaking, she turned her head and said a royal word upward.
As Lucia answered, a burly figure appeared on the edge of the platform, looking down eagerly. Vincent met his ferocious eyes, and his heart moved: "This man has such a fierce murderous intention!"
Different from the slender and handsome appearance of other members of the royal family, this big man is two meters tall, with a strong back and strong muscles. His eyes are as big as copper bells. His face is covered with a long and stiff beard like a halberd. He holds a stick in his hand.
The long black wooden staff, the clothes on his body were dirty and black, and he exuded an extremely unpleasant smell, which drifted downwind into everyone's noses.
