Chapter 36 Chapter 36: The Dungeon of the Sistine Chapel

At this time, it was time for afternoon worship in the Church of Sistina Torrebardes.Believers sit on benches on the left and right, with a road in the middle.On the altar, Bishop De Daemon wore a heavy embroidered cassock over his white cassock, and read aloud from an old leather-bound book—probably a prayer book—at the angle of his eyes. Gen Jieyin sneaked into the church and hid behind a row of candelabrums on the far right of the chapel.There are countless candle flames on the candlestick, with green smoke swaying.He untied the seal, took a deep breath, and smelled a waxy smell. There were hundreds of believers.I thought they were all Anka tribe, but there were orc tribe mixed in, which surprised Gen.Everyone bowed their heads reverently, listening to the bishop's sermon.As far as the heard part is concerned, from the mouth of the bishop.This is beyond reproach, but it is incomprehensible when one thinks of another face of this church that is hidden behind the scenes.Or, believers of these other races don't know anything?

After reading the prayer book aloud, Bishop Damon turned to a beautiful sermon.He said a set of words that I only thought were beautiful on the outside: the riots in Lillis were an unfortunate incident, and we should join hands at this moment to inspire each other and tide over the difficulties together.The believers listened intently, and when Bishop Damon thanked the Creator God again, and the end was not over, everyone stood up and began to sing. At the end of the service, believers left the chapel one after another.Bishop Damon watched everyone leave, closed and bolted the door.The bishop's skirts rustled lightly as they passed over the polished ground.After checking the burning of the candles around the altar, the bishop opened the back door and disappeared.Seeing that he didn't come to look at the candlestick behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gen quietly crawled out from the gap between the candlesticks, stood up, dusted off his clothes and feet, and checked his surroundings. Huh?what happened? The gate only plays the role of going in and out.Obviously, behind the altar, the door that Bishop Damon walked through leads to other parts of the church.Can only break in from there?But if you want to go through that door, you will most likely meet the bishop or someone else.I don't know anything about the situation inside, and I may have to maintain the enchantment state for quite a long time.It is possible to maintain the enchantment state for quite a long time.Can the body handle it?

With such a building, there must be other entrances and exits.Go outside for now and look around again? Suddenly, he felt a gaze cast on himself, and he blinked. nobody.The chapel was empty.No one should be staring at me, it must be because of my heart, because I am too nervous. Tiptoe past behind the bench to the gate.Reaching for the latch-- I still feel that someone is watching me and following me with their eyes. Gen put his hand on the sword at his waist, and slowly looked around.Where is this line of sight coming from? Stained glass adorning the walls?Various images of Sistina are depicted on it: she appears in front of the jewelry craftsman.The scene of her beating the devil with a spoon inlaid with precious jade.

Although beautifully depicted, it is ultimately fabricated.There would be no life in her eyes, it would not be her looking at herself. Just as Wat reached out to grab the latch again—a rustling sound came from somewhere.Startled, he looked back. What is the sound? My nerves were tense, and it seemed that I could even hear the sound of electric discharge.It was different from the faint voice heard just now.The sound just now—something seemed to be moving— In front of the stone statue of Sistina next to the altar, flowers are piled up as always today, and the fragrance is overwhelming.The details of other races being trampled under Sistina's feet were covered up with flowers to keep the believers—no, those who hadn't known the truth—knowing.

Gen took a sigh of relief: You can also see from the gate, two or three white flowers fell from the stone statue seat to the ground.The sound just now was made when the flower fell.Pile too much, it will collapse. Can't wait any longer.Just when Gen carefully pulled out the latch and was about to open the door, five or six flowers fell from the stone statue seat one after another.From the gaps between the flower branches, the heels of the stone statues can be vaguely seen. For a moment, he felt shuddering: he felt that Sistina seemed to move her feet, and the flowers fell. Cough, cranky.

Still, he watched with bated breath. Just at this moment, there was a "click, click" sound from the door Bishop Damon left.The door is about to open.Gen quickly dodged to the side and hid behind the bench next to him. The door opened and someone came out.The sound of vestments being dragged across the floor.Bishop Damon?not good.If he came this way, he would see it right away! He urgently seals, lays down an enchantment, and becomes invisible. The sound of vestments mopping the floor quickly approached.Gen quietly peeped from behind the bench, and it was indeed Bishop Damon.He took off his luxurious cassock and restored his white cassock.The spoon in her hand is exactly the same as the one held by Sistina, with precious jade embedded in the handle.

Compared with the first time I met here before, Bishop Damon looked even more radiant at this moment.In Gen's eyes, he felt that the bishop had rejuvenated.The bald head is shiny.He suddenly recalled the scene when he came on a giant bird and looked down on the church from the sky.The cathedral reigns over Lillis, casting its shadow over the town—even Bishop Daemon's incredible power as the cathedral grows more powerful and powerful? The bishop passed the pew where he was hiding, walked two rows of pews forward, and stopped suddenly. He said quietly and majestically, with the tone of prayer and sermon:

"Someone cast a spell." In an instant, Gen forgot that he was already hiding in the barrier, and tightly shrank his body.My heart was beating wildly. Bishop Damon turned his head slowly, a sneer clearly appeared on the corner of his mouth. It doesn't matter, there is an enchantment, he can't see it, Wataru told himself.Because it was difficult to breathe, he adjusted consciously.It is necessary to save even a little physical expenditure. "Troublemaker." Bishop Damon said.He turned around as he spoke. : "Where is it hidden?" With his back to Gen, he muttered leisurely.He crawled on the ground, intending to stay away from Bishop Damon.

At this moment, Bishop Damon turned his head and shouted, "It's here!" The spoon in the bishop's hand pointed directly at Heng.The precious jade embedded in the top of the spoon flashed brightly and shot out lightning.Genzheng was half bent, unable to avoid the lightning.He instinctively raised his hands to protect his body. An electric shock of paralysis swept over the palm, then the arm.Gen bounced with a "bang" and fell from above the back of the bench, landing on his back. He couldn't even feel the pain because of the transition shock.When Heng struggled to stand up from the floor, the barrier disappeared, wiped away by that lightning-like light.

Hierarch Damon stared at Gen with a smile on his face.His eyes glowed in the dark like lifeless fluorescent paint. "How, how could..." Hierarch Damon took a step forward and approached: "Do you really think that such a little strange magic can fool my eyes? I already knew you were hiding here." Knowing well but pretending not to know, playing hard to get? Wataru stood up on his knees, and pressed the sword of the brave with his hand.Bishop Daemon laughed even harder. "Who are you?" the bishop asked in a coquettish voice.He took another step forward.Take half a step back. "Although it is unfamiliar, it is rare for a child like you who can read enchantment magic. When you visited before, you said you were a highland guard." "I am the guardian of the highlands." Gen raised his head solemnly, "It is my mission to expose the flaws, defeat the ugliness, and defend the fantasy world!" Bishop Damon laughed dryly like a dog barking, and said, "It's quite energetic to speak wild words." Gen clearly felt that the bishop was looking at him with appraising eyes, and he shivered in disgust. "That sword..." Bishop Damon pointed at the sword of the brave with a spoon, narrowed his eyes, "and that look, that magic—" His eyes lit up, and a sinister smile appeared on his face; "Oh, you are a 'traveler', right?" Gen didn't answer.He concentrated and adjusted his posture so that he could strike with his sword at any time. "That's right. You're the 'Traveler.'" said the bishop in the same recitative tone as he had just read from the prayer book.He smiled happily, and even looked a little intoxicated. "Damn 'Zaza Yak', you who deceive God, you are a despicable servant born from the dirty foam of the hypocritical goddess. Why did you set foot in this holy place? Could it be that even you such a despicable existence, Can you also feel the radiance of this church?" Gen asked excitedly, "Where are the people from Brickmaker's Avenue?" Bishop Damon raised his beautiful long eyebrows mixed with white hair: "What did you say?" "Where is Tony Van Lun? They are all imprisoned in the church dungeon!" "So that's the case." Bishop Daemon said with a half-smile, "I'm very sorry. Did you come here to save that guy?" Gen shouted, "Where are they?!" "'Zaza Yake'. Look for it if you can. If you can see it, go see for yourself." The spoons were slowly switched between Bishop Daemon's hands, and the jade at the top was at eye level. "But, you can't find it. You can't save those filthy guys. Can't you? Tell me why—because you will die here!" Bishop Daemon pressed Baoyu to his forehead and began to chant the incantation aloud. "My god is sealed in the ancient roar, the spiritual power sealed in the eternal calamity. Those who praise my god sincerely pray that you will show up at this moment. Bring thunder!" All the stained glass windows in the church shone brightly like thunder, which was dazzling, and one could not help but raise a hand to cover his eyes.A shock from his feet made him unsteady, and he clutched desperately to the back of the bench. "My God, punish those who deceive the world and steal their reputation!" Bishop Daemon spread his hands and roared like the roof tiles.In response, the stained glass shines again. I saw in the flash: the Sistinas depicted on the stained glass were all staring at me.They hold the spoon in their right hand and extend the hand mirror of their left hand towards themselves, reflecting their own faces in the mirror. —Oh, our enemy is here. - Our enemy is in hand. All the Sistinas had burning eyes. Slap!The flowers fell again.He glanced at the stone statue reflexively, and then immediately looked away.But he just froze on the ground, unable to move for a moment. Incredible. There's no way this is going to happen. The stone statue of Sistina slowly walked off the pedestal while brushing away the flowers buried in its ankles with its toes. Step your right foot off the pedestal and onto the floor.Lift your left foot up.The left hand holding the hand mirror fell to the side of the body, making a rustling sound.The right hand holding the spoon stretched out like a wing. There is no reason for this, the stone statue cannot move.This is hallucination.I was hallucinating. Bishop Damon looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Look, the filthy guy who deceived the gods invaded the sanctuary, and even Sistina got angry!" The stone statue of Sistina has no eyes.But Wat felt that, from her monotonous gray stone pupils, anger and hatred shot out, and Wat was frozen and unable to move. Sistina seemed to get down to the ground, raised her hand mirror high, and with the other hand, she swung the spoon from bottom to top like a tennis backhand.A shock wave shot out from the tip of the spoon, and the strong air containing poisonous gas and spikes swept across the church.The back of the bench in front of Gen was cut off like magic, and then shattered into pieces.Fragments fell on Gen's body one after another. Before he had time to shout, he turned around and fled. "Hehe, run away, dirty fellow! Are you afraid of God's punishment? Is it terrible? There is no place for you to hide in the church!" While Bishop Damon was speaking, a second shock wave blew over.He evaded it.His shirttail was torn, and two or three rows of benches were overturned. Boom, boom.Every time Sistina took a step, the church floor trembled.It is no longer far from three rows of benches.Bishop Damon distanced himself from Gen Lai, raised his spoon and prayed again.Here comes the shock wave.Gently dodges.The left earlobe was opened, and blood dripped everywhere.Falling would be the end.The stone eyes of the Sistina statue stared at Heng. The spoon is raised again.Gen pulls out the sword of the brave, uses the magic he realized in the Swamp of Sadness, and shoots a light bullet at the incoming shock wave. The incoming shock wave shattered the bench, and collided with the light bullet from the Brave Sword at a distance of less than one meter.The light bullet blocked the shock wave, forming a semicircular flash range, and bounced the shock wave back. The shock wave was reflected back to the statue of Sistina, and its left arm, which held up the hand mirror, swayed.The stone statue stepped on the ground, adjusted its posture, and approached in the direction of Gazhen. The Sistina Statue does not act with its own power, but is manipulated by Bishop Daemon's spell.Gengu Lulu rolled his eyeballs, trying hard to think, not letting himself fully immerse himself in this unbelievable duel.Bishop Daemon must be struck down so that he cannot cast the spell! shock wave.Bounce back again.Outside the semi-circle range of the light bomb blocking, the power of the shock wave swept across the candlestick behind, and the candle light went out at the same time.No, the candle head was cut off.The severed head fell to the floor with still burning flames. ——This is the shock wave! The tip of Sistina's spoon pointed at Wataru. ——This is the shock wave! The tip of Sistina's spoon pointed at Wataru. ——Turn back at Bishop Damon! Quickly recall!It's amateur baseball.Haven't you played countless times with Ake?Ake's father, who was on the sidelines, did not praise him, saying: "Gen's strength is small, but his accuracy is great."Any ball can be obtained.The ball feels great.Professional masters are ashamed of themselves! Timing makes the difference.Get your breath right.Sistina is like high above, it's coming! With a vicious will, the shock wave aimed at Gensao.The shock wave flew over, it roared, trying to cut off Gen's strength. Gen raised the sword of the brave and fired a magic bullet.Because of a flash at the waist, the shot was delayed for a moment.The scope of the collision glow spread out in front of Gen, and the momentum of the shock wave caused Gen to stagger back.The pillars of several large candlesticks were cut off at once, and they stood still for a moment as if stunned for a moment, and then fell at the same time with a dull sound after a short breath. "What's the matter? Do you only know how to dodge? There's nowhere to hide, little guy!" Bishop Damon's laughter echoed through the church. The face of the stone statue of Sistina approaching approached with a smile.It delivered a fatal blow from the waist.The spoon drew an arc in the air, and the shock wave emitted at close range flew towards Gen with a discordant "buzzing" sound. ——Professional masters are ashamed of themselves! Wataru swings the Brave Sword in a batting stance, just like playing amateur baseball.The fired light bullet slightly deviated from the front of Gen, and blocked the shock wave at the extremely dangerous place.The shock wave that was not in the blocking range grazed Wat's left elbow, and a chill like a razor cut his fingers passed over his body, his sleeve was torn, and blood was "brushing" from his left cheek. "Wow!" In the distance behind the statue of Sistina.Damon let out an exclamation, and the bench behind him overturned and fell to the ground.His white surplice billowed like a sail, its hem ripped, and it fluttered in the air. "You, you kid!" Under Bishop Damon's embarrassment, Sistina seemed to stop moving for a moment.Never let this moment go.He slipped under Sistina's right arm holding the spoon and rushed towards Bishop Damon. "Little devil!" The overly bulky cassock hindered the bishop who was struggling to stand up.Wataru threw himself on the bishop almost like a triple jump, and stomped hard on the wide sleeves of his cassock.The bishop with his hands on the floor screamed and fell back to the floor. He grabbed the collar of Bishop Damon's rescue and pulled him up.Using the bishop's body as a shield, he turned to face the statue of Sistina. "Come on, let's try it. Chant the spell. If Sistina seems to attack, you will lose my head with me!" "Bold and reckless...you coward!" "It's just each other!" Sistina swayed slightly as if she were holding up her arms holding a hand mirror and a spoon. "Let go! Let go of your dirty hands!" "I won't let it go!" The bishop shook his bright head, shouted and jumped violently, trying to struggle, but Gen grabbed him tightly.The collar of the cassock split open with a "crash".The bishop stared wildly at his feet, and beat Gen Ran with the spoon in his hand. "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Oh alright.Gen let go all of a sudden.The bishop, who was desperately struggling to escape, lost his hand and fell to the ground with a muffled "boom". The bishop moaned "Aww", squatting and unable to get up.Gen Yi reached out and snatched the spoon from the bishop's hand. "This thing deserves it!" Gen held the handle of the spoon tightly, and with all his strength, smashed the precious jade on the top to the floor. The precious jade shattered.When the fragments scattered, the smell of blood came to the nostrils.Sistina, who was staggering, seemed to stand still, and her raised hands seemed to be in a cheering gesture.Its right fingers were slack, and the spoon slipped off.The spoon made a "bang" sound when it hit the ground, and it turned into sand in front of Wat's eyes. "Whoa, Lady Sistina!" Bishop Daemon cut his forehead and blood flowed down his face.Maybe it was bloody, and he closed one eye.He is not a bishop, but a skinny old captain of an island ship. "You boy, Lady Sistina will not let you go!" Following Bishop Damon's vicious cry, the stained glass once again shone like lightning.As if in response to it, the hand mirror on the left hand of the Sistina statue also began to glow.Just as he was surprised, light was emitted from the mirror in the distance.Geng dodges swiftly.When he rolled and got up on the floor, there was a large burnt mark on the floor where he was just now. This time it is the light attack from the hand mirror?Wataru is in a crisis situation because of anger and surprise.He almost lost control of his emotions from fear and excitement.Laughing hysterically at any time. At this time, the fire dragon wristband worn by Gen's left hand glowed red.The burning feeling made Wataru calm down.The oath of loyalty of the Highland Guardian: We want to inherit the legacy of the fire dragon, we are the guardians of the law, and the real hunters. Stand up.He pressed the shining red fire dragon wristband on his chest, and the sword flashed and rushed out. The light emitted from the hand mirror of Sistina's statue followed closely and never let go, scorching marks everywhere on the floor and walls, and fragments of benches were scattered all over the place, some of which were still smoking and burning. The goal is not the statue of Sistina, but to destroy the stained glass that gives the hand mirror its power.He ran in the church, dodged left and right, jumped forward and backward, and fired magic bullets at the stained glass at the same time. A piece of stained glass shattered. — Kneeling at the knees of the goddess... Another piece turned into a clattering glass rain. ——Eliminate the evil and help the weak... Another piece, another piece.Every time the magic bullet hit the target and the stained glass shattered, a woman screamed and wailed amidst the shattering of the glass. ——Until this body becomes old and returns to dust... All that remains is the stained glass on the side of the altar.It reflected Sistina from the front. She was turning into countless glass shards while she was about to pounce on Gen with fierce eyes! ——Stride towards the star of truth! Gen was panting heavily, his eyes were closed, and he turned his head to look at the statue of Sistina.She was facing Wataru across the rows of benches that had become piles of rubble. "Take a shot from me!" Gen fired a magic bullet, and the light bullet that flew through the air with Gen's will hit the chest of the stone statue. The flash of light disappeared, and Sistina stood upright.He swayed and knelt down on one knee, but still kept his eyes on the Sistina statue. Sistina's left hand slowly released, and the hand mirror fell to the ground.Like the spoon, the hand mirror turned to sand on the floor. "Hey, Lady Sistina..." Bishop Damon crawled to the feet of the Sistina statue on all fours, his frozen face covered with blood.He put his arms around the stone statue and hugged him tightly. "Oh my god! Little bastard, do you know what you did?!" Before she could speak, Sistina tilted her head suddenly.The pure stone statue was restored, and it became a broken, unsupported, unstable big stone. Before Bishop Damon realized what had happened, before he fled, the statue of Sistina had slowly tilted, and rushed forward, crushing the screaming bishop under her body. Bishop Damon's screams stopped abruptly.In the church, the only moving things are flying dust and flames everywhere: the flames seem to be timid mustache dogs snatching leftovers, licking the remains of pews, that's all.The sunlight, not blocked by stained glass, warmly and directly illuminates this scene, as if you are in another place. ——I, I won.The enemy has been defeated. For a moment, his waist and legs went limp.He was like a man who has been diving for too long, his lungs sucking in greedily for air. The door next to the altar opened, and several men in cassocks showed their heads.They stood there dumbfounded, and when Gen turned his head to look at them, they let out an exclamation and retreated into the side door.The side door slammed shut. There can be no delay.Such a mess has already been caused.Those people must be under the bishop.If they reported to the Schudinger Knights or Director Pam, everyone would come.At that time, with outnumbered enemies, they will definitely not be able to beat them. Run away——Geng finally stood up, and just walked towards the gate, when he heard someone running and shouting outside the gate: "Hey! Hey! It's terrible! Something serious happened in the church! Report to the police station! Ask for help!" not good.If you go out directly through the gate, you will definitely not be able to escape, you have to set up a barrier.Gen raised his sword.but.too tired.He raised his sword just to seal the seal, but he became dizzy for a while and almost fell down. In this way, to be caught—— "what the hell is it?" This is, came a surprised, muffled voice.Looking around, I saw a man's head protruding from the pedestal where the Sistina statue was originally located, full of flowers. His eyes widened, and he woke up immediately. That's right, it's the pedestal.Sistina stepped on the pedestals of other races as if avoiding people's eyes, which was the entrance and exit of the dungeon.It really fits the interests of Director Pam and Bishop Damon. Before the man retracted his head, he shot out the magic bullet with all his strength.The man let out a scream, and disappeared in a burst of "gudong gudong", it seemed that he had fallen. With a limp step, he ran towards the pedestal with his weak body.As expected, the pedestal was removed, and a sturdy ladder led down.Gen went down to observe, and saw that the man just now lost his intuition under the ladder. Wataru grabbed the ladder with trembling hands and went down inside.Inside is a narrow passage with four walls of stone, and a kerosene lamp with a glass lampshade is burning out.On the right there is a small room with desks, chairs and stacks of papers.office? That's right.Here is the dungeon.There is a fence in front of you.The passage stretched farther, and the cells were densely lined up on both sides.The people locked in the room grabbed the iron bars with their hands, pressed their heads against the gaps in the iron bars, and started commotion. The unconscious man seemed to be the guard here.He has a lock and key around his waist.Gen said "I'm sorry", and shouted from the iron gate in front of him: "Is everyone okay? Is everyone from Brickmaker's Avenue here?" "That's right" and "That's right" sounded loudly, and several questions that couldn't be heard at once were asked: "Who are you?" "Are you here to save us?" "What's wrong up there? The floor' boom Dong' earthquake!" "I'm the Highlander! Come save everyone!" Gen answered loudly, then ran back to the bottom of the ladder, manipulated the handle behind the pedestal, and reset the lid of the hole.There was a loop of rope hanging on the wall of the office, and the unconscious man was tied up with this bundle of rope and stuffed under the table. There were many keys on the lock and key bundle, and it took a lot of trouble to find the key to the front grille.The people in the dungeon were delighted, anxious, and noisy. The iron gate finally opened, and he fell down on the corridor of the dungeon.Life is full of turmoil, and Gen puts his hands around his mouth and shouts, but no one pays attention.Gen swung the sword of the brave with its sheath, and knocked on the fence with a "bang bang". "Quiet! Please be quiet!" When the people finally calmed down, Gen asked loudly, "Is Mr. Fan Lun there?" A voice with a different tone sounded from the depths of the cell, and replied, "Fan Lun is here."Gen ran over. Tony Van Lun looked haggard.Maybe it's because he's been imprisoned for too long, his face is blue like a ghost, and his bones are towering.The black hair tied on the back of the stem also seems to be thinner than when we met before.However, he still had a firm gaze, and when he saw him, his eyes immediately lit up. "Aren't you the Highlanders of Gazala?" Fan Lun gripped the bars tightly with both hands. "You came alone? Where are your friends?" "Unfortunately, I came alone." Wataru grabbed the iron gate and stood up with difficulty. "I wanted to sneak in quietly, but there was a big mess. Therefore, I can't go back up. At this moment, Pam's subordinates and The Schüdinger Knights should have surrounded the church." The orcs and water men in the cell shouted one after another.Someone shouted and someone cursed.Only Fan Lun was smiling. "Then, it can't be said that you are here to save people. You can't protect yourself." "Sorry, that's exactly what happened." "What are you going to do?" "Is there any other way out than the ladder?" "How is it possible?" Fan Lun laughed and said, looking back at his friends in the same cell.The rough orcs and water men barked and laughed together. "Because it's impossible to have one, we're digging tunnels here. Of course, it's done quietly, and no one knows about it." The tunnel is in the prison?Fan Lun and the others slowly lifted the wooden floor, and a hole suddenly appeared. "It has been dug out of the town!" The orc standing next to Fan Lun boasted and bared his teeth, and shouted, "If it were just us, we would have left long ago. But worry about the partners in other cells. Now is the right time, this is the time." Your credit is wow, little friend Highland Guard! Come, use the key to open all the cells!" Gen felt relieved and almost fell limp to the ground.Fan Lun stretched out his hand from between the fences and grabbed Gen in time. "Hold on. Although it seems to be injured, don't faint now. You have to escape to a safe place first." "Oh, okay." After holding the lock and key, Fan Lun pulled him over.His eyeballs suddenly widened. "Isn't that—my toolbox!" He was talking about the toolbox strapped to his waist. "Have you met Erza?" "Yes. She's fine. Although she's sad because she's worried about you, she's fine." "Great……" "She asked me to take it. Mr. Fan Lun, I want you to make a dragon flute. That's why I came to Lillis to find you." A strange look appeared on Fan Lun's thin face. "Okay, I understand. Although I don't know what's going on, I will do it for you no matter what. In short, get out of here as soon as possible."
