For some reason, Lu Ping'an has been a little obsessed with "study" these days.
When all members of a certain village disappeared, Lu Ping'an had no idea of going to see it for himself. His time was very valuable. He only used his precious remaining time to study more about the local "Holy Fire System" and had no other energy.
.
So, he made some arrangements and sent a combination of mercenaries and knight captains to investigate the case of the disappearance of all members of the village.
The deputy commander of the Knights named Chandler is still stronger than Deputy Commander Benn, and is only a bit weaker than Commander Dida.
It is worth mentioning that the inheritance of the local knights is all the Sealed Knights and Holy Fire Knights. No matter how strong the Holy Fire Prayer is, it is impossible to be promoted to the leader level. This is determined by its religious attributes.
A strong seal knight of the order level, plus the double silver of the mercenary combination, can already walk sideways in this border area. As long as you don't encounter monsters related to gods, there will basically be no problem.
By the way, after signing a supplementary agreement with the lord and giving away four boat tickets, Lu Ping'an already had control of the knights, and the knights' respect and obedience to him far exceeded that of his previous masters.
But now, these explorers are back, and they have also brought back the reasons for the disappearance of the villagers.
It was a two-headed monster with a monkey head and a snake tail, but it had a weird ability to fly. Its snake tail had a weird mind-control ability that mortals simply couldn't resist.
This monster seemed to be a local ancient creature, but it was quite weak. Three silvers and knights swarmed up and defeated it easily.
The villagers have no bones left. This greedy creature has no intention of curbing its appetite.
It is not difficult for a monster with some kind of command-level mental ability to massacre a village with only one or two extraordinary people (about first level). It can even complete the harvest silently in just a few dozen minutes.
In its lair, there were only blood stains and rags of clothes, and even the bones had been chewed clean.
Such an existence is a big trouble, but what is even more troublesome is the reality that it appears at this point in time.
"The earth sealing technique is starting to lose its effectiveness."
This is to be expected. Although most of the sealed people have lost their lives in the long years, there are always those who have not yet reached the end of their lifespan and are more powerful beings who can survive the baptism of time. For example, the evil god and
Quasi god.
Deputy Captain Chandler went to check the sealing situation in person. When he came back, he looked for previous records and determined that it was a monster called "Double Hao" and that it was sealed sixty-seven years ago.
Is this kind of out-of-control accidental? It should be, after all, no large-scale evil god army has appeared yet, but it is also an inevitability. An inevitability that as time goes by, everything will get out of control.
When Chandler came back, his face was as pale as a dead man. It was not that he was afraid of the sealed monster, but that he checked casually and found out how many monsters had been buried in the Schley area over the years.
The answer is gratifying, many, very many. Silver-level monsters, even corpses, may cause secondary pollution. Sealing and packaging them is the best treatment process. Over these countless years, no one knows where they are buried.
How much.
Hundreds? Thousands? Even more?
"Sir, we need to transfer some personnel, please approve it."
After receiving the request, Lu Pingan hesitated for a moment and asked with some doubts.
"Does it make sense?"
"I don't know, probably not, but we think we should do it."
The middle-aged knight sighed, with only despair in his eyes.
".At least, do something and it won't make us think too much."
At this moment, there was even more pleading in the old man's expression.
"Then go, bring more people, and bring them back."
There is no block on the safe road, and there is no need to block it.
He knew that Chandler and the others would lead the knights on patrol, focusing on "living monsters that will be sealed within a hundred years." If there are other escapees, they will be eliminated directly. If the area is relatively dangerous, they will be
People migrate a little bit.
Where to move? Let's move to Schlei City temporarily. Anyway, we can't cultivate farmland in this state. The farmers are eating stocks and relief grains, so it is easier to let them leave their fields.
But both Lu Ping'an and Chandler knew that this was basically meaningless.
The news that there is a problem with the earth sealing technique has spread in a small area, and what will happen next will happen sooner or later.
Escape? Where can you escape to?
But the news brought back by Chandler and the mercenaries also verified the authenticity of the "prophecy" and made Lu Ping'an even busier during this period. Even the "little comprador" Catherine has trouble recruiting certain people.
enthusiasm.
Lu Pingan also sent Xia Qin. At least in name, she was Lu Pingan's leader. Lu Pingan trusted her character more than her ability.
At this time, Lu Ping'an also fell behind the shortcomings of his small team. He lacked professionals in this field and could only use the soldiers as clerks.
"Don't get the priorities wrong. We are always warriors, professionals, and poor people who are eager to evolve and race against time."
Lu Ping'an knew what the big cat meant. Perhaps she had seen too many similar scenes.
Perhaps there is some sense of escape, but Lu Ping'an's rationality also tells him that the most important thing at the moment is always to take away the local "specialties".
Some things will be gone in half a year at most. I am not the savior. At least not now.
After becoming a Holy Fire Prayer, he spent a lot of energy studying the Holy Fire, and he actually came up with something.
"God of life, is there also a sun god?"
The God of Life and the God of the Sun are the two most important priests of Eternal Sun, but in fact they are vaguely in conflict.
Under normal circumstances, the hot sun involves stars and should belong to the "perpetual motion" system, while the life system is Lu Ping'an's old acquaintance, and its source is "all spirits".
These two conflicting priesthoods contain quite a lot of sub-rules, and any one of them can become a super boss if they monopolize all related concepts. There is a reason why the Sun God monopolizes two major areas.
"The sun is the source of life and the original appearance of everything. It emits light and heat and illuminates the world. The heat of all life comes from the sun. It is the source and destination of all life."
If you only look at this part of the Sun God Church's classics, you will find that there is not only some truth, but even some science.
"Therefore, the sun records the normal trajectory of all life. Those who deviate from the eternal scorching sun will be burned by the holy fire of the sun. Only those who follow the path of the sun can return to peace under the holy fire."
From here on out, it’s complete nonsense.
".As the source of life, the sun comes to the mortal world. It is the flame of life, which will burn out all the twisted life that is not born from the sun and return it to the sun. The holy flame is not only the flame of punishment, but also the flame of punishment.
It is the flame of salvation, the fire of purification. All those who go astray will lose their distorted bodies in the flames, and their souls will have the opportunity for redemption."
This is probably not just nonsense, but a complete fabrication.
But from these scriptures and information, Lu Ping'an also knew why the Sun God wanted to monopolize two major areas, and what the "Sacred Fire of the Sun" was all about.
"The fire of life? Or rather, the flame of the soul. No, the flame itself is a super powerful pollution!"
