Chapter 911 Abnormal

A strong bloody aura poured into his nostrils, causing Bishop Fernanco, who had just stepped into the room, to subconsciously frown, with a solemn look on his face.

As a regional bishop who has personally been on the battlefield, and even still practices the God of War Creed, he personally goes to several dangerous areas every year to assist the local knights in destroying demon beasts. He is all too familiar with this aura.

The other two priests in the room noticed the arrival of the regional bishop, and immediately retreated silently to the side. Fernanco's eyes passed the others and slowly swept across the spacious priest's lounge.

The scene in the room is clear at a glance - the beds, tables and chairs are all furnished as usual. There is a shrine symbolizing the god of war on the north side against the wall. It is a mass of meat that is completely mixed together and cannot be seen in its original form at all.

There are many fibrous objects connected together in the creepy flesh and blood, as if in the process of forming some kind of fascia, there are fine hairs spreading out from certain gaps in the flesh, the hairs are thick and hard like It is like thorns, and there are many pieces of clothing that have been completely corroded scattered on this terrifying death scene.

Even the bishop of God of War, who was used to seeing bloody and strange scenes, couldn't help feeling the horror from the bottom of his heart in front of this scene.

"Your Excellency Fernanco," a priest came from the side, "salutations to you, may your heart be like steel."

"My heart is like steel, my compatriot," Fernanco nodded to the priest, his eyes returned to the death scene in the center of the room, and he asked in a deep voice, "When did you find out?"

"In the early hours of the morning, a night-watching priest was the first to notice the anomaly and sounded the alarm at the same time."

"Where's the priest?" Fernanco frowned, "Bring him to see me."

"That priest..." The priest on the side had a weird look on his face, "His condition is a little abnormal, we just used a powerful mental comfort spell to calm him down - I'm worried that he will lose control again, or even attack you."

Fernanco shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'm also good at mental comfort - bring him."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The priest took the order to leave, and after a while, footsteps came from outside the door, mixed with a terrified and repeated muttering. Fernanco looked for the sound, and saw two church attendants helping a young man in ordinary priest's robes into the room, the latter's state made the regional bishop immediately frown ——

The poor man trembled,

His face was as pale as that of a dead person, fine sweat covered every inch of his skin, and a cloudy haze filled with indifference blood covered the whites of his eyes. He had obviously lost his normal sanity, and he kept falling down all the way. Muttering, getting closer to hear those broken words:

"Blessed by the God of War... Blessed... My heart is like steel, my heart is like steel, I will survive a hundred battles... God of War is blessed... I have converted, I have converted..."

This poor man was talking like this from beginning to end, as if he didn't notice the regional bishop who was already standing in front of him. It wasn't until a few seconds later that his scattered eyes suddenly noticed the scene behind the regional bishop. The living flesh and blood seemed to stimulate his greatest fear in the depths of his heart in an instant, and he instantly let out a scream that was almost impossible for humans to utter. Nanke, at the same time, shouted a fanatical prayer that had changed its tone: "In the name of God! Slay heretics! In the name of God..."

The surrounding priests suddenly exclaimed, but Fernanco only slightly took a half step to the side. He grabbed the uncontrollable priest's clothes with his backhand, and when he pulled it back, his other elbow suddenly hit with a muffled sound. After the sound, the out-of-control priest passed out without any resistance and fell to the ground.

Only at this time did the priests react, and they hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Fernanco! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but he may need to rest for a few days," Fernanco waved his hands, frowning at the priest who fell to the ground, "...Take him down."

The attendant immediately took the unconscious priest away from here, Fernanco sighed deeply, and a priest couldn't help but asked: "Your Excellency, what do you think about this..."

"Has that pastor been like this all the time? Keep praying, keep calling on our Lord... and treat normal church fellows as heretics?"

"Yes, that's what happened when we found him," the priest replied immediately. "He was found collapsed at the door of the room. He was insane at the time, and even nearly killed a squire. But no matter what method was used to check, he was No sign of spiritual erosion or soul curse... as if he was doing these crazy things of his own volition."

Fernanco nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Who else knows what's going on here?"

The priest thought for a while: "Apart from the people in the church, we have only notified you at the moment... Oh, the earl may also have received a rumor - he should not know what happened in the church, but we urgently sent a messenger and The fact that the church was blocked after dawn cannot be hidden from the ear of the earl."

Fernanco's brows furrowed even more, the situation was developing in the direction he least wanted to see, but everything was irreversible, and he could only force himself to focus on the event itself - the pool of blood on the ground was obviously It is the deacon who died tragically in the church, the god of war priest Kosto himself in this church. He knows this priest and knows that the other party is a powerful superhuman. Even if he is raided by a high-level powerhouse, he will never die without resistance. , However, there is no trace of fighting in the entire room except blood, and there is not even the residual breath after releasing the combat magic...

The flesh and blood is located in front of the God of War shrine, and there are still some uncorroded cloth fragments left. Except for the clothes, the rest should be the cushions used for prayer... In addition, there is only a small section of candles and utensils left in front of the shrine. The remnants of incense and the prayer book spread out on the table can only be combined into a disturbing result:

The dead god of war priest seemed to be in the process of praying to the gods... suddenly melted by his own flesh and blood.

Fernanco believed that he was not the only one who had guessed the possibility of this horror. He saw an inescapable haze on everyone's face.

When you think of the priest who went mad because he witnessed the first scene, the whole thing is even more disturbing.

"His Excellency," a priest couldn't help but say, "what do you think happened to Priest Kosto?"

"...There may be a very powerful evil spirit that raided our sanctuary, it interfered with the prayer ceremony of the priest of Kosto, distorted the direction of the ceremony and polluted the soul of the priest," Fernanco said solemnly, "but This is just my personal guess, and if such a powerful evil spirit really appears in the town, then this matter must be reported to the archdiocese..."

"The Earl's Palace should soon send someone to inquire about the situation," another priest said. "How should we reply?"

Fernanco thought for a while—from the perspective of the regional bishop, he very much did not want this matter to be exposed to forces outside the church, especially not wanting it to attract the attention of the royal family and its vassals. Since the coronation of Setta Augustus, the Typhon royal family’s policies towards various churches have been tightening. After countless confrontations, today’s God of War Church has lost a lot of privileges, and the priests of God of War in the army have also changed from the original. The representative of the independent theocracy has become an "assistant soldier" who must obey the noble officers. Under normal circumstances, this is the case. Once what happened here today, I am afraid that it will soon become a new excuse for the royal family to further tighten the policy... …

But things can't be concealed, and there is always an explanation for the managers of this area.

"Clean up the scene and burn these twisted things with holy oil and flame," Fernando instructed to the people beside him, "A Soul Eater parasitized human beings and infiltrated the church. After discovering it, Priest Kosto fought him to the death. , and perished together in the end. However, due to the erosion and corruption of the Eater of Souls, the remains of the priests were inconvenient to display. In order to maintain the dignity of the fallen priests, we purified the remains of the priests before dawn and returned them to the kingdom of the Lord—that’s all the truth."

The priest on the side lowered his head: "Yes, Your Excellency."

Fernanco hummed, then took another look at the tragic scene in the room, vague uneasiness and disgust came up from the bottom of his heart again, he subconsciously put his hand on his chest, his right fist clenched as if holding on Jian, at the same time silently prayed in his heart: "Blessed by the god of war, my heart is like steel, I will not die in a hundred battles, my flesh and blood are weak, only steel will live forever, and I will not fall into hell, I have converted..."

With the prayer, his mind gradually calmed down, and the power of the gods silently descended, which once again made him feel at ease.

...

this afternoon.

A secret report sent by the communication tower and transcribed by intelligence officers was sent to the table, and Rosetta Augustus took it apart and glanced at it. The face that had been gloomy and solemn for a long time suddenly appeared even more. Serious expression.

Matilda, who was sitting next to him to help with government affairs, immediately noticed the change in her father's face, and subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

"Another God of War priest has died, and the cause of death is unknown," Rosetta Augustus said. "The local church reported that a Eater of Souls had infiltrated the church. No one saw the corpse of the priest, no one saw the ashes of the Eater of Souls, there was only a battle scene that was not known to be true or false."

Matilda's pretty brows frowned slightly, and her tone became serious: "This seems to be the sixth time in half a month..."

"Yes, the sixth time," Rosetta said in a deep voice, "The cause of death is unknown, the body was destroyed in advance, and the evidence is full of doubts..."

"Those churches must be hiding something!" Matilda couldn't help but said, "Six consecutive priests died mysteriously, and they were also distributed in different churches... The news has already leaked out to a certain extent, but they have There has never been a positive response to the royal family's inquiries, what is the Church of God of War doing?"

"Yeah, there are six churches, distributed in different places... The two farthest apart are even located on the north and south borders of the empire, this is not an ordinary 'attack'... There is no one in the empire that can carry out such a large-span attack. Power, it can't be a coincidence caused by a monster raid."

"The most suspicious thing is that those churches are obviously hiding something," Matilda said, and then shook her head. "It's a pity that under the current imperial law, we can't search churches on suspicion alone..."

Rosetta nodded: "We must uphold the laws we have made, which is the basis for maintaining the authority of the royal family, but... the necessary investigations are still essential. You go to the Cathedral recently and contact Malm, he is probably I won't tell you anything - after all, as the Pope of the God of War, he has not taken the initiative to discuss anything with me about the bizarre death of the priest, but I believe that with your keenness, you may be able to observe some situations."

Matilda nodded: "Okay, Father."

Then Rosetta pondered for a while, then tapped the table with her fingers, and whispered to the empty direction, "Diana."

A dignified woman in a black maid's uniform came out of a corner that no one noticed, and looked at Rosetta Augustus calmly.

The latter nodded to her: "Send rogues to check the places mentioned in this secret report-remember, covert operations, don't conflict with the church, and don't have to contact local officials."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The woman in the black maid's uniform bowed slightly, took the note that Rosetta handed over, and then silently returned to the depths of the shadows as if she had appeared.

After the room was quiet again, Matilda broke the silence: "Father, what do you think... What's going on?"

Rosetta Augustus sat quietly in his high-back chair, lost in thought in the gradually sinking sunset, until half a minute later, he sighed softly: "I don't know, But I hope it's all just an 'attack' on the Ares sect..."

Matilda glanced at her father unexpectedly.

In her memory, it was rare for her father to show such an almost powerless gesture.

But in the end, she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

...

In the evening, Daniel returned to his mansion.

The young apprentice Mary was cleaning up the living room. When she saw the tutor, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Tutor, did you come back so early today?"

"There's nothing in the lab for a while, so I'll be back," Daniel glanced at his apprentice, "Didn't you take the technicians to the Cathedral of the God of War to do the magic net transformation? Why are you still at home at this time?"

"Originally, I took people there, but the priest of the cathedral suddenly said that the area we are working on will be temporarily blocked - the construction will be postponed until the next time."

Daniel frowned immediately after hearing the apprentice's words: "So, they suddenly kicked you out?"

"Forget it..." Mary said casually, but soon noticed that the teacher's expression seemed to have a deeper meaning, "Teacher, is there any... problem?"

Daniel pondered for a while, his expression a little serious: "I'm not sure, but I heard some rumors recently that there seems to be something wrong with the Church of God of War... Maybe I need to report to the master."
