Doomsday Code

Inside the Church of Light, Father Hodos was leading the believers in worship, and at this moment the statue of the God of Light standing in front of the church suddenly lit up, emitting a soft light.

When many believers saw the light emanating from the statue, they thought it was the arrival of the God of Light, and their prayers became more pious.

All the distracting thoughts in my mind in the past disappeared at this moment.

Father Hodos, who was leading the believers in prayer at the front, changed his expression slightly when he saw the statue emitting light.

However, as a priest for many years, he knew that now was an excellent time for the church to preach, so he suppressed his restless heart and finished praying with the believers.

After finishing his prayer, he bowed to all the believers and then hurried to the backyard of the church.

In the church's backyard, Jamil had just finished praying for the day in his prayer room. He then looked at Hodos who was in a hurry and frowned.

"Why are you so anxious? How is the prayer of the believers you led today?"

Jamil spoke slowly and at the same time opened the classic in his hand to study.

Father Hodos calmed down a little, then looked at Jamil who was reading the classics, and said cautiously:

"Bishop, the prayer statue in the church just showed a warning glow."

The next moment, after hearing what Hodos said, Jamil was no longer as calm as before.

"The statue... what did you say? The statue showed a warning glow?"

Jamil's voice suddenly rose from low to high. He knew very well what the warning light appearing on the statue meant.

The last time Huidun City was attacked by alchemists, the church’s failure to issue any crisis warning was a major dereliction of duty.

Of course, there were some coincidences involved. The original intention was to kill Count Huidun and get rid of the church, but who knew that Huidun was fine, and an alchemist came later.

Once this method is used, it must never be used again, otherwise the signs of deliberateness will be too obvious, and it will also greatly reduce the image of the church in the minds of ordinary people.

So just in case, the new statue delivered this time is a more advanced detection device than the previous one.

Although it cannot be compared with the Kingdom’s military’s confidential detection equipment, its sensitivity is in no way inferior.

The fact that he could shine meant that another powerful and malicious guy had come to Huidun City, and it was very likely that this guy had already taken action.

Because only when that guy has used his own abilities, the power he dissipates can be detected by the statue.

Of course, the detection of maliciousness is only a detection of certain specific magic systems. After all, some magic systems are dark in practice and can easily lead practitioners into the abyss.

Jamil quickly calmed down and then calmed down his stressful heart.

After all, the impact of the previous alchemist crisis was too great. If it weren't for the magic shield created by the academy that covered the entire city, even with him, Adolf and Penbes, three platinum-level powerhouses, Huidun City would still not be able to be saved in such a crisis.

As a bishop, if he cannot protect the believers in this area, then even if the Pope steps in, he will not be able to escape death.

Because the existence of believers is not only beneficial to their rule, but also because the essence of the light magic they practice is God-given power, and the source of this power is closely related to these believers.

This is also why their church has always been committed to controlling the king of the kingdom and realizing the ideal of establishing a church-state.

This is not only about realizing the ancient vision recorded in the scriptures, but it is also closely related to the improvement of the strength of their clergy.

Jamil calmed down and said to Hodos:

"Go down. Remember not to disturb the believers before the enemy is identified. Go down."

Hodos wanted to say something, but when he saw Jamil re-enter the state of meditation of an old monk, he stopped talking.

Perhaps Bishop Jamil has a solution.

That's all Haodos could think of.

After Hodos left, Sgert walked out from behind Jamil.

"Well, just to be safe, you should go and have a look."

Jamil sighed.

To be honest, Jamil was scared by the alchemist who suddenly appeared last time. Since the last alchemist incident, everything has been going wrong for him.

The mission that was about to be completed was about to be ruined, and then the guy Qu Sai from above sent people to compete with him for power and profit. These things really made him, an old guy, tired.

After Sgert left, Jamil was still flipping through the classic in his hand, but this time, with the naked eye, one could see a thin layer of light covering him.

Then, strange waves spread out around the city with him as the center, and the light became thicker and the waves became more hidden as he turned the pages of the classics in his hand faster.

Inside the temporary military camp in Nanmu Forest, the intelligence officer of the legion handed Huidun an early warning.

The warning in this intelligence was almost the same as that of the church. Both discovered abnormal and hostile energy fluctuations. And because the military's alarm system was more rigorous, even the source of the energy fluctuations was marked.

Looking at the report that stated abnormal soul energy fluctuations, Huidun frowned.

Most magicians who practice soul cultivation at the intangible level have different personalities from ordinary people, because their minds are more easily distorted due to long-term exposure to these dark things.

Therefore, this type of detection equipment can directly monitor abnormal energy by measuring these energy parameters, and will sound an alarm once any energy is detected.

Although the abnormal fluctuation of soul energy in the report ended quickly, necessary investigation is still necessary.

After all, if there really was another crisis like the one with the deranged alchemist, then all his development over the past few months would have been wasted.

Huidun then held a brief meeting and asked the guards led by Xiao Dun to return to investigate. At the same time, the Eighth Legion here should also be mentally prepared and need to return to support immediately if a crisis really occurs.

And asking the guards led by Xiao Dun to go back to investigate also had their own considerations.

The location of abnormal magic energy detection in this detection device is on the South Street of Huidun City. The people living on this street are all minor nobles in the Huidun territory.

If these guys really still have a chivalrous heart, and he is willing to offend these small nobles to search for that guy, then Huidun will not really tear his face off and expel them, and will also try his best to resolve the misunderstanding between Earl Xiaoton and Chen Cheng.

If not, and you are only thinking about how to improve the relationship between them, then you can use this as an excuse to expel them.

Although they felt unhappy about being suspected by the earl they were loyal to, as knights they naturally had their own honor.

They were all ready to find the rat hiding in the dark and let Earl Huidun see their strength.

Looking at the figures of the guards knights who were reluctant to leave, Torre wanted to speak up to remind Huidun, but was interrupted by Chen Cheng.

"Well, I already have the preliminary test results I need here, so do you think I can leave now?"

Looking at Chen Cheng who was awkwardly raising his hand to speak, Huidun was stunned and said:

"So soon? You've only been here a few days."

Chen Cheng also scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"I can't help it. Didn't we meet Daha and his men yesterday? We have already collected all the experimental data. If I, who don't know how to coordinate battle formations, stay here and if they are in danger, they will have to divert their attention to come and rescue me. This will only cause trouble for the legion commander and his men."

"Besides, I promised Captain Keelung before, and I can take advantage of the holiday to study the weapons that need to be repaired."

At this time, Keelung, who saw the Wisdom Shield Knights leaving, also came over with his guards. When he heard Chen Cheng's words, he laughed and said:

"There's no need to rush this matter, but I'd like to thank you for your hard work."

Then Keelung took off the personal seal on his waist and handed it to Chen Cheng, saying:

"This is my private seal. Take it to the Adventurer's Guild in the city and give it to the new Guild Master there. He will give you a list of items in my private vault. Just mention what you need. If you don't have anything, you can directly use my seal to buy from him on credit."

Chen Cheng was really stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Keelung would actually give him his private seal.

When Keelung saw everyone's reaction, he smiled and said:

"Don't think too much. This is just a private seal between me and the Adventurer's Guild. It just represents my identity in the Adventurer's Guild. And I believe that you who follow the Earl will not be a villain."

Seeing that Jilong had made his words so clearly, Chen Cheng carefully took over the private seal, and Jilong's sword that needed repair was also placed in the Adventurer's Guild for safekeeping.

Arriving at the barracks gate, Chen Cheng whistled, and soon a black shadow appeared in front of him.

When the black shadow stopped, we saw Daha's majestic body.

Chen Cheng rode on Daha's back, touched the back of his neck, and then said:

"Pippi Shrimp, let's go."

However, Daha didn't move at all, and even yawned and rolled his eyes at him.

His eyes seemed to be saying, my name is Daha, not Pipixia.

Chen Cheng also felt awkward. He had forgotten that Daha didn't know the joke about the mantis shrimp. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were looking at him with strange eyes, which made Chen Cheng very embarrassed.

Chen Cheng coughed lightly and said:

"Well, Daha, let's go."

The next moment, before he could finish his words, Daha took him and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Riding on Daha's back and feeling the strong wind blowing across his cheeks made Chen Cheng feel like he was racing in a racing club in his previous life.

"Wuhu, Daha, go faster. It's so fun to drive like this."

Although Daha doesn't know what speed racing is, he also likes the feeling of running with the wind.

He understood Chen Cheng's words, and his speed suddenly increased by three points. Chen Cheng, who was riding on his back, was extremely excited as he faced the wind.

Daha was running very fast. The journey into the mountains that had previously taken him most of the day was now completed in just over an hour.

When he arrived at the checkpoint leading out of the mountain, Chen Cheng showed the private seal given to him by the Keelung regiment commander.

The soldier at the checkpoint saw the private seal of his captain, and then checked Daha, and found that it had been tamed, so he did not check carefully to see if there was a contract.

After all, they would never have thought that a magical beast would submit to a human being like this.

The reason why Daha surrendered was not only because Chen Cheng had exhausted his physical strength to subdue him, but also because Chen Cheng helped him kill the red python and avenge his wolf clan.

Chen Cheng took Daha through the checkpoint, and the contract issue that he was most worried about before was now resolved safely.
