He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 70 70. Waiting for the miracle of dawn

The edge of the north gate of Blackwater City.

There is a large amount of construction waste piled up here that has not yet been moved away.

This place, which was originally deserted, is now crowded with people.

A large number of torches from the MC world have been inserted in all directions, and there are even square stone blocks surrounding it to block the believers' view.

There were Vatican troops stationed every three steps around, and in the sky, Winged People were patrolling with longbows in hand.

Layal and others had already arrived here at this time, and Markov and others were wearing enchanted diamond suits that were extremely expensive.

Old Matthew and Uriel stood beside Layal, whispering something with a guilty look on their faces.

The army surrounded the place tightly and no one could get in or out.

But it still couldn't stop the creepy roar faintly coming from behind the stone wall.

From time to time, scarlet eyes would flash in the darkness, like some terrifying monster lurking around.

Soon, Frannie's shout echoed in everyone's ears.

"His Majesty the Pope has arrived!"

In an instant, the Winged Army swooped down, and the Vatican Army also crossed all the way, forcibly opening a passage.

With the Winged Tribe guarding all around above and the army protecting him below, Ian, as always, was wearing the golden and white papal crown, which made him look even more sacred in the dark night.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope, the dawn will last forever!"

The believers around him all prostrated themselves on the ground like wheat being cut.

The original uneasiness in my heart disappeared the moment I saw Ian's gentle smile.

Ian strode to Layal's side. Uriel stepped forward quickly and was about to say something, but Ian raised his hand slightly to interrupt him.

He gave Lessia a look, and the latter understood. She came forward and said some polite words in a loud voice, persuading the believers to disperse and go back to sleep.

With Lecia's current reputation, the believers naturally obeyed blindly. With Ian also coming, a sense of security came over them, and they all left yawning.

Soon, only clergymen like Leial, the army and the Winged Clan were left here.

Only then did Ian look at Layal and ask doubtfully:
"what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man Wu Lier kicked the two young men from the Winged Clan and then fell to the ground like a mountain.

His tone was full of self-blame.

"Your Holiness, please punish us! The demonic monsters attacked Blackwater City and injured many believers. This is entirely our Wing Clan's fault!"

"These two bastards actually neglected their duties, allowing so many demons to enter the city and injure people. They have violated the faith of Dawn and are subject to the punishment of His Holiness the Pope!"

"My subordinates failed to supervise properly, so they should also be dealt with!"

Ian frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. The people of the Winged Clan were quite serious in patrolling Blackwater City, so how come zombies came out of nowhere?
Layal came close to Ian and whispered:
"These two Winged Clan warriors hadn't eaten all day, and the zombies attacked just as they were changing shifts for lunch. It was dark, and construction debris was piled up in the north of the city, which allowed the zombies to enter."

Ian nodded slightly and said softly:

"Get up, this incident cannot be entirely blamed on you. The Winged Clan is not invincible. It is not unforgivable that they were negligent during their shifts."

"Your Majesty the Pope..."

Uriel was about to say something, but Ian raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, that's it. Whatever punishment you impose on the Winged Tribe is their own business. However, they are not negligent in their duties, so there's no need to be too harsh."

"As devout believers of the Dawn, I think they must be suffering after such an incident."

Ian glanced sideways at the two Winged Warriors lying on the ground. As expected, the burly men had red eyes and looked like they wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

Ian couldn't bear to punish such a loyal warrior.

"Your Holiness, these zombies..."

Layal leaned over to Ian's ear and whispered something, and Ian nodded:
"I know... This matter isn't entirely due to poor supervision. Someone might have planned it."

"The Holy Name of His Holiness the Pope!"

Markov exclaimed in admiration and immediately pulled out a dozen chopped-to-pieces corpses from the rubble.

"After the incident, Bishop Layal felt that it was all too coincidental. It happened just as the Winged Tribe patrolmen were changing shifts, and at the North City entrance, which had the most obstacles..."

"So, they sent us out of the city to search, and sure enough, we found these guys with evil intentions. They resisted during the arrest, and they were all executed!"

Ian glanced at it and sneered in his heart.

Although the body was incomplete, he knew who did it without even looking at it.

In this world, apart from his MC world, there is no place where such zombies can be born.

The only time Ian sent the zombies out of the MC world was in Treetop City...

very good!

He hasn't even gotten to them yet, but those two guys have learned to use the opponent's force against them?

It seems that he let some people live a little too long.

"I already understand the situation."

Ian looked calm and walked inside.

"Your Majesty the Pope..."

Uriel hesitated, but Ian smiled and said:
"Don't worry. I'm not going to get into trouble on Dawn's territory. I need to check on the children and report to Dawn to save them."

Uriel looked at Ian with anticipation and uncertainty.

"Your Holiness! But those people have already..."

"Dawn will not allow her child to die so hastily."

Ian said no more, crossed the cordon, and led a group of people to check the specific situation. Layal followed him, pointing to both sides and introducing:
"Your Holiness, although the incident happened suddenly, the Winged Clan and the Vatican Army resolved it quickly, notified promptly, and with the Iron Golems on guard, there wasn't much damage."

"In the left fence are the injured people of Dawn. Twelve of them are seriously injured but haven't mutated yet, while seven have completely degenerated into demons."

"The ones on the right are the main demons responsible for this incident. There were originally 500 of them, but we killed 74 of them in the battle. Now there are 426 left."

As soon as the words fell, Uriel hurriedly said:
"Your Holiness, these demons have never appeared before. They are most likely a new species. We don't know their specific situation..."

"Dawn knows."

Ian's tone was still calm and indifferent.

He checked the imprisoned citizens of Blackwater City one by one.

Those who were seriously injured were now dying and it looked like they would mutate at any time.

Before, Ian really had no choice but to lock it up, but now...

Zombie infection?

piece of cake!
Ian turned around and looked at the worried Vatican Army and others, and said softly:

"Dawn has already told me how to save these innocent children. You don't have to worry too much. They will be fine."

Then, Ian whispered to Leal:
"Go back to Alchemy Warehouse No. 4 and get the splash potion of weakness, and go back to Vault No. 7 and get five sets of gold nuggets."

Layal nodded and left quickly.

In the past, if Ian took out so many gold bars at once, Leal would have worried that he might squander it again.

But now...

Gold has been everywhere since the Piglin Farm was completed.

A vault No. 7 stores at least hundreds of gold bars.

There are ten such vaults in the Holy City of Dawn.

Although not all of them store gold, the total number of gold bars owned by Ian and his team currently exceeds a thousand sets.

After collecting too much, Lyall and his friends finally got tired of gold and stopped accumulating it.

Otherwise, Ian would really have to keep a mistress in a golden house.

Uriel and others were relieved after receiving Ian's promise.

Although we haven’t seen any results, haven’t Shuguang and His Holiness the Pope created enough miracles?
The letter is finished!

Not long after, Layal returned with a large amount of supplies. After handing them over to Ian, he sensibly built a workbench.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Ian demonstrated the miracle of MC synthesis in front of Uriel and the others.

Ian, holding a gold ingot in one hand and an apple in the other, inexplicably recalled the magical song "I have a pen, I have an apple" from his previous life...

He retracted his impetuous thoughts and quickly synthesized a few golden apples.

"Your Holiness, all the seriously injured believers have turned into zombies."

Just at this moment, Layal came over and whispered something.

Ian nodded slightly. What he wanted was to become a zombie!

Otherwise, Ian really didn't know if MC's milk could cure this poison.

"Throw potions at the demonized believers."

After instructing Layal, Ian followed. When all the believers were in a weak state, Ian took out the golden apple again.

This thing is so heavy that once it leaves the MC world, no one except Ian can lift it.

Therefore, Ian could only feed the zombie believers by himself, but in the eyes of Uriel and others, it was a symbol of the great Pope's care for his people and his fatherly mercy.

Everyone's eyes were red with emotion.

As for the golden apple in Ian's hand, he just thought of it as an apple imbued with the power of dawn, and never imagined that it was made of pure gold.

Layal and the others knew it, but now, even if Ian used gold to make a toilet, he would still smile and praise Ian for his ideas.

Ian took a step back after stuffing the golden apples into the zombie believers' hands one by one.

"Your Majesty the Pope..."

"Shh!"

Ian smiled gently and motioned Uriel to be quiet.

"Wait a moment."

Uriel nodded honestly and stared at the zombie with wide eyes, but he could see nothing except roars and madness.

These people are probably dead...

Finally, after two minutes, Uriel could no longer sit still.

"Your Holiness, these believers have already... If you can't bring yourself to kill them, please allow me to show them mercy."

The only one who responded to Uriel was Ian.

"Wait."

Uriel pursed his lips and asked:
"Your Holiness, what are we waiting for?"

Finally, Ian noticed the subtle changes in the zombie believers, and a huge stone fell from his heart.

Turning around, he said gently:
"Waiting for the miracle of dawn."

　Thanks for your support! It's now available!
