A simple aura rushed to my face, and the treasure house was dark and quiet, without a trace of sound.
After signaling Ma Wei and others to lower their voices, Archbishop Brandon stepped into the door, raised his arms, pointed high at the top of his head, moved his lips, and recited two spells silently, randomly, and the gold ring worn on his middle finger was bright.
It rose up and shot out a golden light, rushing towards the darkness above the head.
The golden light hit an obstacle like a wall and spread out instantly. The golden wave rippled as if it was electrified. A dark blue shimmer lit up inside the treasure house. Archbishop Brandon activated the magic circle for lighting.
The blue fluorescent stone embedded in the gaps in the wall emits light, and the light is refracted in the treasure house, illuminating the four walls. The treasure house is not a traditional square layout, but a cylindrical shape like a well, like a tall tower, standing straight into the sky.
Countless strange treasures are placed on the surrounding shelves. Some are rusty and stained with blood, while others are intact without even a trace of dust. They range from stone statues with human faces several meters high to as small as flies.
There are all kinds of fragments in the treasure house, which is dazzling to see.
"This is the church's treasure house." Archbishop Brandon raised his throat and said in a weak voice: "One of the most secret places of the Church of Destiny. Remember not to make any noise. Many items have demons sealed inside."
"Devil?" Levin said in surprise: "Aren't all demons sealed on the Devil's Gate?"
"The demons who are qualified to be sealed on the Demon Gate are famous commanders, generals, powerful beings such as the leaders of the group. There are also many inferior demons who are not as powerful as them. In the past confrontations,
, sealed by the church.”
Archbishop Brandon picked up a milky white bone necklace that looked like some kind of animal tooth product, stroked the pattern carved with a dagger on it, and whispered: "For example, this animal tooth that I don't know the name of"
According to the church's records, an ogre is sealed inside each tooth of the necklace. The age cannot be traced. The church has kept it for so many years and carefully maintained it for fear of releasing the monster inside and causing a catastrophe.
disaster..."
"Oh, by the way, don't touch the things here. Every item is protected by a magic circle. Only people wearing special rings can pick it up. Otherwise, they will be regarded as intruders and attacked."
Hearing this, Levin just stretched out his arm to pick up a black statue and then retracted it, not forgetting to mutter "I didn't tell you earlier"...
The black statue that caught Levin's attention was similar to the black Madonna statue that summoned the devil's door. From the workmanship point of view, the two were very similar. Although it could not be accurately distinguished by the naked eye, from the texture and gloss, it should be from the same person.
The hand of a master.
After discovering the black statue, Levin winked at Ma Wei. Ma Wei looked under the black statue and found no introduction-like nameplate. After all, this is a church treasure house, not a museum. It is rarely opened. Who would be idle?
Are you ready to introduce the collection?
"Archbishop Brandon, what is this?" Mavey asked, pointing to the black statue.
"This is a statue made by the demons. It is made using a special method. It is no different from the statue we use. There are some differences in the material, but the general usage is the same."
Archbishop Brandon glanced at it and gave the answer: "There is nothing strange about this thing. According to ancient records, after sealing the ancient gods, the church launched a comprehensive inventory operation, with the purpose of collecting all these statues belonging to the devil.
, to be destroyed.”
"Are there many statues like this?"
"How many?" Archbishop Brandon sneered: "Some people believe in gods belonging to humans, and some people believe in demons. There are many traitors among humans, especially in areas occupied by ancient gods. People living there must be
A statue dedicated to the devil..."
Levin was even more puzzled: "Why do demons want humans to enshrine their own statues? Don't they become stronger by devouring their companions?"
"Who knows, maybe it's to better control humans." Archbishop Brandon disagreed: "Human beings are thinking creatures. As long as you control their thoughts, you can naturally control them firmly."
Ma Wei feels that things may not be that simple. Do you want humans to enshrine their own statues?
United with Asis and pretending to be a God of Faith. Judging from the fact that the goddess of destiny who was born from the Fountain of Uldur turned into a God of Faith...
There is probably a channel of communication between the ancient gods and the gods of faith!
If he were both an ancient god and a god of faith, how powerful would he become if he gained the power of both?
The devil has been learning from humans, and Edward is very interested in human technology...
Thinking of this, Mavi looked back at Edward and found that his expression was dull and he was not listening to Archbishop Brandon's speech at all. He had long been tired of hearing the image of demons described by humans. At first, he wanted to refute a few words, but later he simply
I don't even have the thought to refute.
whatever.
"Nicholas, come here."
Archbishop Brandon waved to Ma Wei at the entrance of the spiral staircase, gesturing for him to follow him: "The treasure house is also divided into levels. The extraordinary items on the lowest level have the lowest risk and the strength is basically fixed. For example, just now
The beast tooth necklace I showed you sounds very powerful. In fact, ogres are one of the lowest demon races. They are not very intelligent and are very easy to deal with. It is rare to find a way to seal them..."
"What supernatural objects are the most dangerous?"
"Extraordinary items with self-awareness and conceptual extraordinary items are the two most powerful."
On the spiral wooden ladder leading to the top of the treasure house, Archbishop Brandon suddenly stopped, pointed to the coffin placed on a soft cushion in the glass cabinet on the right and said: "Listen."
The coffin is not big. Unlike normal large coffins, it is only as long as an adult man's arm and can only lay the body of a baby.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the reminder of Archbishop Brandon, Mavey pricked up his ears, got close to the glass, and vaguely heard a breath, very faint, and intermittent.
"This bronze baby coffin was brought back from Rome. It was poured in one piece when it was first formed. There was no way to breathe or open it. If you want to open it, you can only use violence to destroy it." Archbishop Brandon said: "So far, it has not left any way to breathe or open."
So far, the church has no intention of opening this coffin. Its collection significance has far exceeded its own value. No matter what is inside, we will not open it."
"Aren't you curious why there is breathing sound inside?" Ma Wei asked: "For example, study the magic array engraved on it..."
"The church has studied it a long time ago. If you look carefully, the coffin has a smooth exterior and a magic circle engraved on the inside. It was formed in one piece at the beginning of production. The craftsman should have left holes inside so that the magic circle can be controlled.
The accuracy is so high." Archbishop Brandon said with a serious expression: "With today's technology, we can certainly cut it, but what's the point of doing so? The existence inside has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, and no one knows what's inside.
There is something sealed, and if there is nothing left, the church will lose a priceless extraordinary item!"
"This bronze baby coffin is an extraordinary object with self-awareness. As for another conceptual type... You have actually seen the Thousand-Change Mask stolen by Butters Brace, which is in the church's collection and is very powerful.
One of the most terrifying conceptual supernatural objects.”
Archbishop Brandon sighed: "It's a pity that the Thousand-Change Mask has been lost. This is the biggest loss of the church in two years!"
The breathing sound in the bronze baby's coffin suddenly stopped. Archbishop Brandon, who realized that his voice was too loud, quickly pulled Ma Wei and continued to move forward. After a while, the faint breathing sound sounded again in the coffin, just like...
Sleeping baby snores softly.
Ma Wei knows best where the Thousand-Change Mask is, but it is impossible for him to tell Archbishop Brandon the whereabouts of the mask. Treasures that can materialize fantasy can already touch the realm of Siren's Tears. Every one of them has
It is a peerless treasure that can only be encountered but cannot be sought!
Unfortunately, the Thousand-Change Mask corrodes people's minds, and Butters Brace is completely controlled by the mask. It should be said that the more powerful extraordinary items are, the more difficult they are to control. If they are used forcefully, they will only suffer backlash.
Under the leadership of Archbishop Brandon, they arrived at a height between the second and third floors. Stored here were some ancient weapons, most of which were incomplete and only a few were well preserved.
"This is the defensive extraordinary item that I said is very suitable for you."
Archbishop Brandon opened the glass cabinet and took out a knight's helmet. Knight's armor is usually full body. No one goes into battle wearing only a helmet, and Don Quixote was not so abstract.
"It was originally a full-body armor, but other parts were damaged, and only the helmet was left."
Archbishop Brandon pushed the helmet into Ma Wei's arms and said, "But it's not a big deal. The church craftsmen have repaired it... Just put it on."
Holding the heavy helmet, Ma Wei let go of his daughter's little hand doubtfully and tried to put the helmet on his head. The hard and rusty helmet was uncomfortable to wear, as if a big stone was pressing down on his neck.
, if the baffle is lowered, walking will become a problem, let alone life.
Ma Wei is not interested in these defensive armors specially used for combat. He will never go out wearing them. Those who don't know think he has epilepsy...
"Archbishop Brandon, this thing is still..."
"Etc., etc."
Archbishop Brandon frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the helmet hard, muttering as he patted it: "I remember this thing is an automatic trigger type... Should it be oiled..."
clang!
clang!
Being slapped twice by Leng Buding was like someone beating a gong in his ear. Just as Ma Wei was about to stop him, he suddenly noticed that the heaviness on his neck was lessening. Looking through the reflection of the glass, he saw that the helmet was gradually becoming transparent and disappearing.
Archbishop Brandon showed a satisfied look: "That's right. It seems that it won't be stuck for a long time. Just take a few shots and it will be fine."
In less than half a minute, the helmet completely disappeared and was no longer visible.
Ma Wei was curious now. He didn't feel any changes in his body. Where did the originally hard and heavy helmet go?
"This helmet can be automatically triggered, just like a bell hanging on a door. As long as it encounters a force that exceeds the limit, it will automatically display defense." Archbishop Brandon said: "The only problem is that it is a defective product, at best.
It protects the upper body and does not protect against poison, but it is enough. Normal magic can't do anything about it. If you don't believe me, let's go out and give it a try. Come, come, come..."
After finding a preaching hall outside the treasury and clearing an open space, Archbishop Brandon asked the priest on the side to expand the field of eternal life, then raised his scepter and pointed it at Ma Wei's chest, chanted a few words in a low voice, and suddenly shot out a
The fireball hit Ma Wei's body firmly.
Whoosh!
Ma Wei was knocked out by this bullet, drew an arc in the air, and smashed a bench. Levin's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Archbishop Brandon say: "He's fine, you see."
.”
Not far away, Ma Wei had climbed up from the ground. A layer of silver armor loomed on his upper body, including his head, which helped him block the fireball attack. He was not injured at all.
Even if the armor doesn't work, the immortality field opened in advance can ensure that his life is safe. It will only hurt for a while at most, but it will be fine in the end.
"I will lend this extraordinary protective item to you Nicholas." Archbishop Brandon said with a smile: "With it, even if the demon hunter team makes a mistake, your life can be guaranteed. Of course, just in case,
One, I will ask the demon hunter team to keep the realm of immortality open at all times."
"Thank you."
"You are now the most important talent in the church. If something happens to you..." Archbishop Brandon shook his head and did not dare to continue.
If something happens to Ma Wei, his current status and prestige will be instantly wiped out. Even if it is not so exaggerated, he will suffer a big blow.
After obtaining the extraordinary items for self-defense, Ma Wei and the others left St. Paul's Cathedral. Before leaving, Pope Umbry I gave them a carriage modified by the church, which was equipped with a defensive magic circle to resist magic.
Attack, since the last time the Four Pillars invaded London, many nobles including the royal family have begun riding carriages with magical protection.
As long as there are church monks, it will not be a problem to activate the defensive magic circle of the carriage.
Back at the grocery store, the team of demon hunters responsible for guarding were lurking around, and the realm of immortality was silently opened. They would not interfere in the lives of Ma Wei and others without reason, and the mission given to them by the church was only to protect them.
"Brother, I always feel uncomfortable being watched like this..."
In the living room, Levin glanced at the roof and said, "What news does Fat Orange have, and how can you convey it to us?"
"We can take the initiative to find Fat Orange. Don't forget, you are not only the Earl of Beckensfield, but also the boss of Manstein Maritime Company. You have to go there often for inspections..."
After opening the shielding circle of the mithril tag, Ma Wei asked: "How many members of the Aurora Society have come to London now?"
"Most of the more than 200 people have joined the Manstein Company, and some are lurking among the people," Levine said.
"Well, when the maritime company and warehousing company are officially established, they can accommodate more employees. It just so happens that Her Majesty Katerina wants to send the spies trained by the Romanov Kingdom to other kingdoms. With the help of the Manstein Potion Company,
