Arriving at the door of the church, it was as calm as usual half an hour ago, except for the strong wind blowing from time to time. Molora There was a heavy rain brewing somewhere. There was thick smoke everywhere. Looking down from a high place, one could even notice that many streets were burning with fire. The dark crowds are gathering from all roads to the city center, aiming directly at the top management organization of "City of Exile", Knowledge Church.
Rows of law enforcers in black robes walked out of the church and lined up in the square in front. The number soon exceeded a hundred people.
They had expressionless faces and held various weapons. They were not worried about the disparity in numbers. On the contrary, Helene, who was protected behind them, began to worry that these people would be quickly overwhelmed by the rioters organized in advance, causing the chaotic situation to affect the interior of the church, and even the cemetery and Underground Mausoleum at the rear.
"I didn't expect Gusin to actually start taking action in advance..." She murmured, glanced at Archbishop Hella Berg beside her, and continued apologetically, "Sorry, Archbishop Your Excellency, I came here to tell you this, but I didn't expect 'Earl' Gusin to start a riot so quickly."
She took it off by the way and put the riot hat on the head of "Reaper". Anyway, he likes to wear top hats.
Hella Berg's amber eyes looked at the riot crowd in the distance that was clearly organized and quickly gathering, and he smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing Molora will happen every once in a while, but soon new Exile will fill the vacancy."
Helene, who realized the fate of these rioters from the other party's words, just changed his expression, Archbishop turned to look at her and continued:
"You should go do your own thing. As for the other two, you can come to the church to read and wait for the outcome of the matter."
My own business refers to the "opportunity" and the matter of entering Underground Mausoleum... What he means is that William and Tia are not suitable to act with me because they have not read books intensively and obtained the corresponding "pollution"?
Various thoughts flashed through Helene's mind, knowing that there was not much time now. The turmoil caused by Gusin would soon spread to the entire city, and Church of Knowledge, who was full of confidence, would definitely become the final winner, so he quickly saluted and no longer worried about in the dark. The surveillance of Lisa directly used "Ice Mirror" Charm to drill into Mirror World. When he returned to his residence, he saw William and Tia who were also gathered here.
Along the way, she did not encounter Lisa following her, and she had some guesses about the whereabouts of this "Affliction" Demoness.
"Captain, Gusin is missing. His men suddenly launched a riot. Now there are at least tens of thousands of people gathered in the church, all armed with weapons, Molotov Cocktail, and even Beyonder among them."
As soon as he saw Helene silhouetted against the mirror, William reported the situation very quickly.
"Don't worry, Church of Knowledge can withstand it," Helene pushed open the half-open window and glanced at the chaotic street below, "But there must be a reason why Gusin left us and moved ahead. Maybe the entire riot plan, including the pretense of borrowing people from us, was a cover, just to cover up his invasion of Underground Mausoleum..."
Her thoughts became clearer and clearer at this time, and the action plan quickly formed in her mind, and she continued to give instructions:
"You go to Knowledge Church for refuge immediately, and use 'Ice Mirror' Charm to rush on. Now neither 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' nor 'Demoness Sect' will have time to take care of you. As long as you enter the church, there will be no danger."
"What about you?"
Tia quickly took out Charm from his pocket and asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.
"I have memorized the map of Underground Mausoleum, and of course I will not miss today's good opportunity." Helene opened the Jewelry Box he carried with him and put "Rose Necklace" around his neck. He smiled and said, "Gusin and Lisa are gone. The target must be Underground Mausoleum's Sealed Artifact. We have been preparing for two months, but we cannot fall behind at this time!"
William looked at Helene with a serious expression and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Do you need me to accompany you, Captain? I also took note of the map of the mausoleum."
Hearing his obviously not polite request, Helene actually considered for a few seconds whether to bring a "Calamity Priest" into Underground Mausoleum in order to make use of his familiarity with the map and accumulated Luck, but he still shook his head after a moment.
"You are the greatest help to me by taking care of yourselves."
She said jokingly, and took the initiative to use Charm to wipe the surface of the decorative mirror beside her, opening the passage to Knowledge Church.
Watching the two people get into the mirror one after another, the smile on Helene's face gradually faded. She finally checked the status of several Mystical Item items on her body, took out the lantern she had prepared and filled it with oil, and tied the black cloth that blocked her vision on her forehead. After entering Mirror World, I found the section leading to the cemetery among a large number of marked mirrors. I quickly shuttled between the dark passages and soon arrived at the depths of the huge cemetery with almost no edges visible. I stood next to the entrance to Underground Mausoleum.
From the direction of the church, faint shouts came, mixed with the roar of homemade firearms, the loud noise of Molotov Cocktail explosions, the thick smoke from all over the city almost connected into the sky, and the heavy rain that could fall at any time, made the whole city feel like it was in Apocalypse.
Honorific Name recited "Golden Queen" Angelica Zaki in a low voice, causing this Angel's eyes to turn to him. Then he glanced at the secluded cemetery. Helene lit the lantern and pulled the black cloth on his forehead to the position of his eyes, making his eyes dark.
Then, she touched the wall on the side of the entrance, reached the downward stairs with her toes, and walked down carefully.
Far away from the edge of the rioting "City of Exile", in an uninhabited neighborhood that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption long ago and has not yet been completely repaired.
After putting on a leather jacket and breeches that were convenient for movement, and taking off his top hat, "Earl" Gusin, whose brown hair did not reach his ears, entered a shop facing the street and came to a semi-collapsed basement.
A wall here has completely disappeared, connecting to a dark passage that leads to an unknown place. There is a slight mist surging inside, causing the light of the oil lamp he is holding to be blocked and only stay next to him.
Glancing inside the passage, Gusin turned his head to look at the other person who followed him to the basement and said:
"The riot won't buy you much time, so start as soon as possible."
That person just walked out of the darkness. She had long dark red hair, a thin figure, and was wearing a gray cloak that could be seen everywhere. She was "Pyromaniac" Iris who came to Molora in the same batch as Helene and others.
Under Gusin's urging eyes, Iris took out ritual candles and other equipment from his cloak, quickly arranged a simple altar, cut his finger with a nail, and dripped three drops of blood on the lit candle. Then he half-closed his eyes, lowered his head and chanted in Ancient Hermes:
"The great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the master of turmoil and strife..."
As the three-part Honorific Name was read out, the blood attached to the candle boiled rapidly, and the smoke enveloped the entire basement, almost blending into the fog in the passage.
In Gusin's ears, Iris's nervous breathing gradually disappeared, and turned into an extremely majestic voice that made people want to kneel down and surrender.
That is the voice of the ancestor of Iris Medici, the former holder of "Red Priest" Uniqueness, "Angel of War" Medici!
"Kneel down!"
The power contained in His voice made Gusin kneel down without any hesitation.
In a breeding farm on the outskirts of the city, "Affliction" Demoness Lisa, who had recently become a wanted criminal and rarely entered the city, came to a secret room in the attic, locked the door tightly, and looked into a dark room with only a little sunlight filtering through the cracks in the window.
In the center of the floor was a full-length mirror that was taller than her. Due to the backward manufacturing process of Molora, the surface of this mirror was somewhat mottled, making her figure appear in varying light and shade, like an evil ghost.
He touched the cross hidden in the ravine on his chest and felt a trace of majesty that could not be blasphemed passed into his body. Lisa, who was wearing a high-slit and low-cut long skirt, took a deep breath, took out the hidden Magic Mirror, silently recited the incantation, and took out an exquisite gold jewelry box.
A breathtakingly beautiful face was engraved on the surface of the jewelry box, surrounded by snake-like patterns, covering the entire front of the box. She looked at the face with fascination, then opened the jewelry box and took out a ring.
Putting this ring with a huge sapphire on his finger, Lisa pursed his lips, and finally took a look at his figure in the glasses, which was more beautiful and attractive than when he was still "Pleasure". He stretched out his hand and touched the mirror surface, turning it into a passage to Mirror World, and then walked in with a determined expression.
