Chapter 5 The Church of Amberley
At this time, at the end of a fork on the right side of the corner where Qin Lun was about fifty or sixty meters away, a long silver arrow was inserted into the foreheads of the two masked guards.
The long arrow penetrated two stone walls in a short dozen meters, and when it appeared in the eyes of the two, it was less than ten meters. Finally, it penetrated into the mind and shot these two powerful soldiers to death on the spot.
The guards covered the mask on their faces, with a hint of confusion in their eyes, and they didn't even notice where the danger came from until they died. The two guards stood dead for a few seconds, held the scimitar in their hands tightly, and fell straight forward.
At this moment, water-like ripples appeared in the shadow of the passage, and a black shadow rushed out like lightning and rushed towards the two corpses. When the black shadow fell, he held the collar of a corpse in his mouth, while the other corpse was just crawling on its back.
Venus and Qin Lun were in tune with each other and had high wisdom. At this time, he just helped the master complete the finishing work, and did not make too loud noises from the two corpses.
The Shadow Wind Leopard dragged the two corpses to the corner of the passage, and then merged into the darkness again, sneaking into the portal guarded by the two guards. At the same time, Qin Lun's figure also appeared at the fork, ran lightly, and recycled the magic mitral silver arrow that shot the two guards to death.
The Shadow Wind Leopard, who had sneaked into the fork gate, did not hear any warning. Qin Lun skipped the fork gate without hesitation and broke into the place where the two guards were guarding. What surprised him was that there was not a passage in front, but a secret room of about 100 square meters.
Qin Lun quickly looked at the uninhabited secret room. At this time, Hill and Rand had already started on the ground, and he had no time to waste.
There is a row of standing lamp post wax on both sides of the secret room. This is a slender lamp holder with a chest height. It is made of precious metal with half a meter long candle inserted on it, which looks solemn and gorgeous, usually a church sacrificial utensil.
However, in this dim and secret room, the candlelight of the swaying lamp posts mixed with shadows swayed gently, but instead made people feel a strange atmosphere.
Qin Lun's eyes moved away from both sides and fell to the small altar set up in front of the secret room, where a bronze statue of a god was enshrined. Seeing this half-body statue about one foot high, his face changed slightly.
This statue of god is the half-body of a blue-green woman, holding a trident in her hand, a top made of shells carved on the bronze statue, and a purple cloak woven with jellyfish. Her fingertips have sharp claws, fish fins on her elbows, two white-glowed pearls, and dark green seaweed on her hair.
"Antanali... The word of the fishman, I should have thought of it long ago. This is the secret stronghold of the Amboli church." Qin Lun muttered to himself. When talking about the name of the Amboli's god, he deliberately lowered his head and did not look at the half-body statue, so as not to attract the attention of the gods.
At the beginning, Qin Lun followed the Japanese Elf Envoys to re-trace the ancient road. He had been with the learned Japanese Elf Prince Millas for a long time and learned a lot of secrets about the Feren continent, as well as a lot of knowledge about the continental gods.
At that time, he wanted to increase his world exploration. Later, he realized that he might obtain the world token, and he asked positively, just to prepare for entering Torrell again.
Ambori is a sea goddess with medium power. The kingdom of gods is located in the Heart of Rage and belongs to one of the rage gods. The leader of the gods of this god is Taros, the god of storm and disaster, and the overall camp is chaotic and evil.
Goddess Ambori is also known as the stingy queen. She is vicious, irritable and evil by nature. She is the nightmare of the hearts of sailors and residents along the coast of the world.
She often makes promises as she wishes, watching ships engulfed by the sea, throwing sailors into the sea and drowning, and enjoying this. She is extremely fond of vanity, likes to hear flattery, and is committed to pursuing more power, and is keen on displaying violence.
She created the shark beast into humans, which was the only race that sincerely worshiped and praised her. The other sailors and sailors who donated to her were just mortals who feared her power and hoped that the journey of the sea would be safe.
Because the goddess of the ocean is capricious and often destroys her promises, the port cities along the Sword Bay in the Feren continent have extremely complicated attitudes towards her.
On the one hand, people hated the chaos and evil of the Ocean Goddess, and turned to pray to Sulun and Verko, who also had the same clergy of navigation and sea warfare. On the other hand, they were afraid and afraid of the power of the Ocean Goddess, and had to donate a lot of money to her priest before going to sea.
The pastors of the Amboree Church have two completely different positions in coastal cities like Baldur Gate, Kalinshan, and Ascatra.
The port city basically does not allow the Ambori church to set up temples in the city, so the believers of Ambori can only allow the temple to be built on a relatively remote coast on the side of the harbor, or a reef and cave half below sea level.
However, when a large fleet of ships went out to sea at the port, the fleet welcomed Pastor Ambori to travel with him, hoping that the brutal Queen could give them peace all the way for the sake of her believers.
The Ambori Church set up its stronghold in the city, which obviously did not meet the official requirements of the Baldur Gate, so Qin Lun and others had a correct judgment before. After this place was exposed, they would at least not be searched by the city guards.
Most urban gangs would not help an Ambori church, because the stingy queen was capricious and would not charge their donations because of this little favor.
However, this understanding did not make Qin Lun feel much more relaxed, on the contrary, his face became even more ugly.
If people do not take the initiative to help the Ambori church, it does not mean that the Ambori church is easier to mess with. Among all the churches of gods, the Ambori church is second only to the Church of Light and the Church of the God of Wealth.
Don’t look at the temples set up on remote coasts of the Amboli Church are mostly dilapidated, but the donations donated to them by the fleets along the Jianwan coast and the chamber of commerce every year are astronomical. The Amboli Church will have enough financial resources to hire a group of legendary professions to chase Qin Lun and the other three to the ends of the world.
"Hurry out the here quickly before the high-ranking clergy of the church came back!"
Qin Lun's mind changed and turned around and found the two guard corpses dragged into the corner by Venus. He took off the masks and black robes from their faces in a few seconds, took the guard's scimitar, and planned to cover himself up.
"Hey, no wonder they are all wearing masks and black robes. It turns out that they are not humans." Taking off the guard's mask, Qin Lun discovered that these two big guys, with green scales on their faces and fish gills on both sides of their heads, were actually an amphibious fishman he didn't know.
Qin Lun put on a mask and black robe, spread his figure, and rushed to another corridor opposite the secret room. He didn't know if there were any guards on the other side, but with this outfit and Shadow Wind Leopard, he could at least give him a chance to attack first.
"Hill, Rand, be careful not to expose your identity, and don't use your signature skills. This is the stronghold of the Ambori Church... Well, I'll explain to you the details of this ocean god and the church when I go out." During his escape, he did not forget to remind the other two companions.
"Why do I feel like I'm falling out after listening to that kid's tone?" Rand, who was setting fire, teased Hill with a wry smile.
"Just get used to it!" Hill smiled without changing his face.
After receiving Qin Lun's message, the two immediately launched the destruction of the carriage shop. This time they did not kill people randomly, but just set fire to the huge carriage shop with Rand's ability.
The carriage shop was full of hay, and it was difficult to curb the fire. In addition, the large livestock in the carriage shop were influenced by fireworks and began to be disturbed, and the whole carriage shop fell into chaos.
Qin Lun was able to sneak into the underground secret room so smoothly because the senior clergymen who were originally there were all attracted by the fire on the ground.
"Stop!" However, Qin Lun's luck seemed to have been used up. Not far from the secret room, several masked guards with torches came towards him. The leader was wearing a bronze sheep face and his voice was hoarse, "What are you doing here? Come with me!"
After saying that, Bronze Sheep Noodle stopped paying attention to him and turned into a fork on the right.
Qin Lun tightened his palm with the scimitar, secretly made a quiet gesture to the shadow wind leopard sneaking behind him, and quietly followed several masked guards.
Following these guards, Qin Lun faintly smelled a faint fishy smell in his nostrils. It was obvious that these mask guards were not humans, but some kind of marine human race.
This made him secretly glad that there was a bad smell on his body. Otherwise, these guards would have discovered the identity of the outsider long ago. Following these four masked guards, Qin Lun was soon guided to a cold and dry place by them.
"Prince Rhodes said that the fire on the ground seemed to be someone who deliberately made trouble. The Baldur Gate may have discovered this church stronghold." The bronze sheep face pointed to a dark room in front and said, "We need to transfer the things inside to the ship. These are sacrifices dedicated to the goddess in the next ceremony and cannot be left to the secular greedy people."
"Sacrifice?" Qin Lun's eyes lit up slightly behind the mask. Although the spoiled goddess belongs to the chaotic evil camp, the sacrifices are all wealth, and they do not perform blood sacrifices like some evil gods.
Before the three of them took the mission adventure, they seemed to be missing some gold coins. When Hill and Rand were sweeping the gangsters, they took some things with them. But those gangsters didn't have much money on them, just enough for a few meals.
As soon as he walked into this small dark room, Qin Lun couldn't help but be stunned. More than ten treasure chests were randomly stacked on the ground, most of which were not locked, and the open mouths of the box were reflected by the torch, which emitted the reflection of precious metals and jewelry.
Qin Lun even saw a pile of magic crystal cores under a half-open jewelry box, a bundle of quaint parchment scrolls and half of the mitral scepter buried in the pile of gold coins. The huge purple gems at the top of the staff exuded a brilliant brilliance, as if the whole room began to shine.
"What are you still standing there?" Bronze Sheep scolded Qin Lun with dissatisfaction when she saw that he stood still.
"Haha, I'm wondering how to thank you!" Qin Lun raised his head, and a bright and charming smile appeared behind the mask.
PS: The red envelope has been sent, everyone will hurry up tomorrow!
