Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 276 Unbreakable Alliance

Inside Chanis Gate, deep darkness enveloped everything.

Even though there were silver candles with carved patterns burning quietly inside, they could not dispel this feeling, and the blue flames instead deepened the feeling of deathly silence.

Lines of invisible things scraped across the skin and penetrated deep into the body, as if crossing the boundary between reality and illusion.

Suddenly, Yu Jin saw the black lines filling the entire back of Chanis Gate - they swayed gently, or huddled together or stretched out, as if a lady was stretching her hair, or some strange creature was waving its tentacles.

The sounds from the outside world were completely cut off, and the interior was as quiet as the land of the dead. It made people involuntarily associate and feel fear, and reminded them of the goddess' honorable name:
Mother of Secrets, Queen of Misfortune and Terror, Lord of Sleep and Silence.

Everything in Chanis Gate is the embodiment of the authority of the Goddess of Night!
The holy light of the Sunworm Helmet suddenly burst out, pouring out from the top of Ember's head to the surroundings, driving away the surrounding darkness and lighting up everything within sight.

As expected, the sudden light quickly attracted the attention of the guards inside.

Two figures in clergy robes emerged from the shadows and quickly approached the embers.

But when they saw the dark holy symbol on Yu Jin's chest, they stopped at the same time, in confusion.

Yu Jin asked:
"Did you find any signs of other people breaking in?"

The two internal guards looked at each other, and one of them answered in a somewhat old voice:
"No."

"We have been guarding here all the time, and you are the only outsider."

Yu Jin seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked:

"What about the seals? Have any new seals been delivered in the past two days?"

The internal guard thought for a moment and said affirmatively:
"Have."

"Just now, a set of black armor was delivered."

"Black armor?"

Yu Jin's expression slightly changed, and he ordered:

"Take me to see it!"

The two internal guards did not suspect anything and immediately carried the embers towards the stone steps deep in the darkness, which was the passage to the second floor.

Under the light of the sunworm, the darkness was dispelled, revealing the stone steps in the depths.

For most extraordinary people, the first level behind the Chanis Gate is actually more attractive than the seal. Various extraordinary materials, potion formulas and secret knowledge are stored here, and even arrested cultists and wild extraordinary people are imprisoned. Whether the intruder wants to make a fortune and get promoted, or to rescue his companions, it is enough for him to just move around here.

The second layer often stores sealed objects that could cause serious harm.

The Level 0 Sealed Artifact that was stolen by Ince Zangwill was stored on the second floor.

When passing by several locked stone chambers, Yu Jin clearly felt that there were people inside, but they were not making noise, roaring, begging for mercy, or calling for help. They were all lying or sitting quietly, and the atmosphere had become gloomy and cold.

But they are still alive.

The deeper we go, the darker it gets.

The faint blue light on the elegant candlesticks on both sides is getting weaker and weaker, giving people an illusion that it is about to go out. By then, the pure darkness may bring unimaginable horrible changes.

But the light of the sunworm is as dazzling as ever, making this dark space brighter than daytime.

On the second underground layer, under the illumination of the sunworms, everything around can be seen clearly.

Steel, bricks, earth, and silver form strange walls that separate one area from another.

Some places are open, and some rooms are tightly closed. The only thing in common is that each area has a sealed object.

It doesn't take a while.

The two guards brought the embers to the destination, a completely enclosed room.

The double stone doors were tightly closed, and each of the left and right doors was engraved with a dark holy emblem, turning this seemingly ordinary room into an excellent seal.

Two guards stood at the door, one pressing on a stone door.

His hands glowed with spiritual light, and with a heavy sound of pressure, he slowly pushed the door open.

The light of the sunworm instantly poured into the room, dispelling the darkness inside and illuminating the surroundings.

however.

There was nothing inside.

"How could this be?"

The look on the guard's face changed. He had clearly seen with his own eyes the seal being placed in this room. The seal was still intact, without any signs of being violently damaged, but the armor had disappeared out of thin air!
This is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty for the internal watchdogs!
Yu Jin was not surprised by this result and asked in a deep voice:

"Which direction is the Antignus family notes?"

"Over there!" The guard inside hurriedly pointed out the direction.

Follow the direction indicated by the guard.

Soon, Yujin saw a room with a half-open stone door. It was dark inside and there was no light at all.

The light of the sunworm slanted in, and an empty bookshelf made of white bones came into Klein's sight. On it was an ancient notebook with a hard, black cover.

Next to the notebook stood a tall figure in black full body armor.

The arrival of Ember seemed to attract the other party's attention, causing the tall man in armor to turn around and look at Ember.

The two sides just stared at each other for two seconds, and no one moved.

Yu Jin suddenly spoke:
"Who gave you this armor?"

Black armor is not uncommon, it's just a different paint job.

But the style of the armor is obviously out of tune with this world——

Especially the two horns on the helmet, the features couldn’t be more obvious!

Unlike the Silver Knight's horns which are shaped like wings, the Black Knight's horns are more like those of a demon.

Once upon a time, they served Gwyn, the First Lord of Cinder.

The king who followed the fire was also burned.

Since then, it has turned into ashes and continues to wander in the world.

The Black Knight sneered:

"Why should I tell you?"

Yu Jin was not angry at the other party's rude attitude, and sighed softly:

"You're still as stupid as ever, Medici."

The Black Knight's laughter stopped abruptly, and the helmet prevented Yu Jin from seeing his expression.

But the other party's mood was obviously not very good.

The Black Knight did not deny his identity, but his tone was a little strange:
"You can recognize him? We've only met once, right?"

"Besides, that was more than three thousand years ago."

"You can even remember this, tsk tsk ..."

Ember asked back:

"Don't you remember it too?"

"This is my Lord's command."

The Black Knight said bluntly:

"My Lord considers you dangerous and has commanded us to remember your face."

"Have you known each other before?"

Before he finished speaking, another voice suddenly came from the Black Knight's body:
"Have you known each other before?"

Another voice came, its tone full of mockery and anger:
"Is now the time to pay attention to this? You two idiots!"

"Have you forgotten where this place is? You are actually here reminiscing with others?!"

"Medici's brain was sacrificed to the 'True Creator'. I am not surprised at his mental retardation. Einhorn, did you also sacrifice your brain?" Einhorn roared:
"Shut up! Soren!"

Medici snorted coldly and sneered:
"You can even start an internal fight over this? Why do you think you can fight me?"

A voice sneered:

"Then why were you captured by Alistair Tudor?"

"That's because you two idiots are holding us back!"

Medici curled his lips and sneered.

Another voice sneered:
"How does it feel to be someone else's prey, the great god of war, the 'Red Angel' beside the Creator?"

"Not bad." Medici seemed content.

Yu Jin turned his gaze away from [Soren Einhorn Medici] above the Black Knight's head and said with a smile:

"You seem to have a good relationship."

Medici sneered:
"Are you blind? I wish I could kill their horses!"

Yu Jin waved his hand to signal the two internal guards who had come to retreat, and asked with a smile:

"Why do we have to share a body if we're not on good terms?"

Medici's expression under his helmet became somewhat distorted:
"Do you think I want to?"

The other two voices were equally mocking:

"Do you think we want to?"

"If I had no choice, how could I squeeze into the same body with these two guys?"

These three people are all Sequence 1 of the 'Red Priest' path. Soran and Einhorn each possess a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic, while Medici possesses a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic and the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest'.

When they were alive, these three were absolute enemies.

Because there is only one position for sequence 0.

If you want to become Sequence 0, you must kill other Sequence 1s!

Even if one of them did not have the ambition to become Sequence 0, he still had to be wary of the other two. Just because he did not have ambition did not mean that the other two did not have it.

This is a thorough dark forest mode, which also means that they can never live in peace.

As the only person who possesses uniqueness, Medici is undoubtedly the strongest and most advantageous of the three.

Unfortunately, none of them became Sequence 0 in the end.

Instead, they were lured and captured alive, and all three became victims of the Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor's promotion to the 'Red Priest'.

Even after death, they still cannot find peace.

The remaining souls were imprisoned in the underground ruins for thousands of years, and were even forcibly rolled into a ball. The three people who were once mortal enemies became a whole, inseparable forever.

On the surface, this all seems reasonable.

But, Yu Jin didn't believe it.

Sequence 8 of the Red Priest pathway is Provocateur, Sequence 7 is Arsonist, and Sequence 6 is Conspirator.

And as Sequence 1 of this pathway, all three of them went through these stages.

Therefore, each of them is a qualified "provocateur" and "conspirator".

Therefore, every word they say can only be believed half-

If you round it off, you can't trust anything.

The contradiction they are showing now is also a kind of conspiracy.

Although the 'evil spirit' in front of them was led by Medici, it did not mean that Einhorn and Soren could not influence the body's decision. Otherwise, with Medici's personality, he would definitely not let them speak.

And since these two people can influence the body, how could they allow Medici to take risks easily?

But since they appeared here and took great pains to sneak into the Chanis Gate in the underground area of ​​St. Samuel's Church, this action itself must have been unanimously agreed upon by the three.

Regardless of how they reach agreement, it means that they have a common interest -

Perhaps it was because of interests, or perhaps it was because of the crisis that forced them to cooperate briefly.

No matter what the reason is, they will not create conflicts and drag each other back at this time.

Yu Jin wanted to understand this, and asked meaningfully:

"So, you are still serving the True Creator?"

"What do you think?"

Medici did not answer, but asked back.

Yu Jin thought for a moment and replied seriously:

"I don't think you're going to answer my question."

Medici grinned:
"You guessed it right! You and my Lord are enemies, why should I answer your questions?"

"So mean."

"Just as mean as before."

Two voices uttered sharp taunts at the same time.

Yu Jin didn't care about Medici's ridicule and said in a gentle tone:
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. I think the other two will be happy to answer my questions, right?"

Soran sneered:
"Why?"

Einhorn also sarcastically said:

"You want me to say it? Don't I have any dignity?"

Medici sneered. Want to sow discord? No way!
The three of them had been together for a thousand years, longer than they had been against each other.

No matter how much they dislike each other, they have already learned to compromise and cooperate with each other.

It is instinctive to mock each other, but in the big picture, their interests are the same!

After all, at this point they are no longer just individuals, but a trinity.

Yu Jin asked back:
"Is it important to have face and substance?"

"If, I mean if."

Yu Jin glanced at the Black Knight's body and said leisurely:
"Suppose I can separate one of you three into an independent individual and provide him with an independent body. Under this premise, who among you is willing to answer my question?"

Ember raised a finger:
"I'll tell you in advance that I'm only giving you one chance."

"So, which lucky person gets this opportunity?"

Soren and Einhorn fell silent, but Medici suddenly realized that something was wrong, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart!
Not good!

Not good!

Their alliance is on the verge of collapse!

"Don't believe him!"

Medici gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "He is lying! How could he possibly do something that even my Lord couldn't do?"

A voice sounded faintly:
"Is it possible that your master is not unable to do it, but does not want to do it?"

"If the True Creator really valued you so much, why didn't he save you at the beginning? At that time, he was a true god, much more powerful than Alistair. It would not be difficult for him to save you."

"Perhaps you have actually been abandoned by the 'True Creator' from the very beginning."

Medici's heart sank.

Killing three warriors with one peach, this is a complete conspiracy!
