Chapter 230 The Black Saint

487

Klein has used his extraordinary vision to clearly see the face of the ascetic monk holding the candlestick. He is a weather-beaten man with fine wrinkles on his forehead, corners of his eyes and mouth. He is indeed an ascetic monk. Some look.

But the strange thing is that there is still a ferocious old scar on his cheek. This ascetic monk does not even have a single white hair. His hair is just like his eyes, which are shiny and extremely rare pure black. Under the firelight Shining in the light.

He has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but he is not old.

Such a contradictory and harmonious temperament, strong strength and rich experience are at least the same, and most of the time they have both.

I don't look for trouble, so trouble comes to me? This was Klein's first reaction. If the suspected strong ascetic in front of him belonged to any church, he would definitely declare his faith. After all, this is a huge dream world in the ruins of the God War, where countless dangers and powerful people are hidden. Even the believers of Storm and Sun, who are mortal enemies, will not start fighting directly after sharing their identities.

In other words, the kind-hearted and gentle ascetic in front of him does not belong to the Orthodox Church, but to some secret organizations.

Therefore, it is difficult to judge the ascetic's position and identity, and it is difficult to believe his one-sided words.

Klein, who was no longer a fledgling rookie, did not answer immediately. He kept a certain distance from the ascetic monk who did not know whether he was old or young, and spoke warily:

“It’s not a rational approach to cooperate with people whose background you don’t know.”

Facing Klein's temptation, the ascetic monk was slightly startled, and then naturally answered.

"It's true that I'm not polite enough." The ascetic raised the candlestick higher and said calmly, "I am Leo Master, an ascetic from a religious organization."

As expected, he was from a secret organization.

"Gehrman Sparrow." Klein responded simply, "An adventurer."

The identity of an adventurer belongs to a gray area just like a secret organization. Klein expressed his attitude. When Leo Master heard this, he laughed at himself and said:

"What I worship is the original Creator. He is the omniscient and omnipotent being, the source of all greatness. He is the beginning and the end. He is the God of gods!"

This... After hearing that the other party worshiped the original Creator, Klein's first reaction was "Twilight Hermits".

However, there are also some small sects of primitive worship in the Southern Continent. It is not certain whether the Creator mentioned by them is of the same origin as the "Twilight Hidden World Society", or whether it is the one surrounded by the eight angel kings in the myth of "The Land Abandoned by the Gods". ...Klein considered it and asked:

"What is the name of your religious organization?"

"How did you get here?"

Leo Master said directly without much hesitation:

"The easternmost part of the Suniya Sea is where our Lord sleeps. His holy mountain is hidden somewhere here. I led a pilgrim team here to try to witness miracles and redeem myself."

"Then, we undergo the necessary baptism at the end of the pilgrimage road, and evil entities appear one after another. We help each other to get through the difficulties, and sometimes some companions who are not strong enough in faith die..."

"After passing through the initial difficult period, we gradually repeled those evil entities. Now, only the most powerful 'Black Saint' is still lingering and hiding in various directions."

Klein immediately looked around vigilantly, guarding against possible companions.

Leomaster said: "My companions are not here, they are all in safe places."

safe place? Klein said nothing.

The so-called "Black Saint" should be the black knight that Klein saw just now, huddled in the corner without daring to breathe. Judging from the black knight's reaction, he is at an absolute disadvantage. The ascetic Leo Master did not hide anything. What. You cannot lie or hide your true thoughts in a dream. Klein did not doubt the other party's motives and temporarily believed these words.

He pressed Leo Master: "What is the name of your religious order?"

Although he does not intend to help, he must confirm the organization's position and then determine whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.

Leomaster still planned to skip this question: "Have you seen the 'Black Saint'..."

The ascetic didn't answer directly, so Klein didn't want to help. He bypassed Leomaster and observed other places in these strange black cells.

Leomaster didn't stop him. He seemed to be very active in the dream. He walked up and down the corridor with a candlestick in his hand, checking cells and corners one by one, trying to find the escaped "Black Saint" .

Klein walked around the messy piles of items, looking for possible doors or roads. A few seconds later, he noticed an inconspicuous black wooden door in the corner, so he cautiously approached it and grasped the handle.

The scene inside naturally emerged in his mind. It was a storage room with a full-length mirror on the right side.

A mirror?

In occultism, mirrors are passages connecting the hidden and unknown world, which can easily lead to terrible accidents. Therefore, Klein, who was in a dangerous dream, walked over cautiously, intending to use the ability of the "Priest of Light" to directly destroy This item.

At this moment, Leomaster just finished checking a room and walked over with a surprised expression:

"Is there a room here?"

Klein raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is not considered concealment."

There are indeed a lot of debris piled around, and Leo Master is indeed much taller than ordinary people, but it is not to the extent that he cannot find the small door in the corner.

"Excuse me, what's in it?" Leo Master became more polite.

Klein pondered for a moment, then held the doorknob tightly and turned it hard: "There is a mirror."

The black wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Klein stood on the side of the door to prevent the front from being illuminated by the uncovered mirror.

This is a full-length mirror with a simple pattern. One of the three metal parts is broken. This caused the full-length mirror that was supposed to be facing the wall to tilt and shine sideways in the direction of the wooden door.

"If you open the door, will you be seen in this mirror?" Leo Master asked curiously, "It's really insidious."

He added: "I have a strange feeling. This mirror seems to be connected to my life and must not be destroyed. Strange, why have I never noticed this door before?"

ah? Klein looked at the mirror again in confusion.

Although the environment here is extremely dark, two figures are clearly reflected in the mirror. One is Leo Master, who has many wrinkles and black hair, and the other is Gehrman. He has a thin face, black hair, brown eyes, and a peaked cap. Sparrow.

At this moment, when Klein didn't make any move, Gehrman Sparrow in the mirror slowly turned his head and showed him a gloomy smile!

Suddenly there were ripples on the mirror surface, and a hand stretched out.

Klein just blinked, and the Gehrman Sparrow who looked exactly like him crawled out of the mirror, his face taking on a distinctly gloomy look due to the darkness!

Very scary... Unfortunately, I don't look like Gehrman Sparrow, so you didn't scare me... If it was Zhou Mingrui who appeared in the mirror and emerged from the mirror, I would probably wake up with a fright... Klein looked at the other party calmly and raised his left hand, with a layer of sunlight already flowing on it.

The gloomy Gehrman Sparrow opposite smiled and also raised his left hand, letting his glove reveal a noble yet evil deep black.

This corresponds to the ability of "Corrupted Baron"!

My clone? Klein thought for a moment, then raised his right hand again expressionlessly.

In his palm was a short milky-white scepter that appeared out of nowhere. The head of the scepter was inlaid with a circle of blue "gems".

"Poseidon's Scepter"!

He believed that the mirror could not replicate the parts related to Source Castle.

The eerie Gehrman Sparrow looked at the opposite side slightly blankly, and instinctively raised his hand, but his right palm was empty.

Then, he saw countless rays of silver lightning shooting out, covering himself layer by layer, allowing him to consume the "paper man substitutes" one by one but unable to escape from this area.

Zizzizi, a huge thunderball illuminated the room that was too narrow to avoid, and immediately disappeared together with Gehrman Sparrow in the mirror.

For some reason, Klein felt inexplicably calmer at this moment, as if he had entered the time of the sages.

"……incredible."

Leo Master in this dream did not seem to have the knowledge that "he might be an extraordinary person". He looked eagerly at Gehrman Sparrow, who was holding a white scepter, and his breathing was slightly rapid, "The Lord's Surrounded by many angels..."

“One of them is in charge of thunder and lightning, and storm and thunder are the power of the Lord!”

Leo Master's expression became more and more excited when he looked at Klein. His free hand stretched out, as if he wanted to grab Klein's hand, and he clenched it into a fist on his chest with some restraint.

"Stranger, you discovered this mysterious room as soon as you arrived and demonstrated one of the powers of the Lord. Are you one of my compatriots, the messenger sent by the Lord to save His believers?"

Klein didn't even think about it: "No."

Leomaster was not disappointed: "I will remember the help you provided, and may your soul be protected by the Lord."

Is it so direct? Praying to an unknown god for protection? If I were a member of a church with strong beliefs, such as the Red Gloves, or the Penalty Substitute, and hearing such words, I would probably have started thinking about how to send you to the church basement...

Klein cursed a few words, turned his head, looked at Leo Master again and said:

"What is the name of the religious organization you joined?"

Leo Master only hesitated for two seconds this time:

"Aurora Society."

Aurora Society? Klein was stunned for a while and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Leomaster observed his expression and was slightly relieved when he saw that there was no expression other than surprise on Klein's face.

Then, he boldly looked at the weird and magical mirror. Leomaster moved closer, but was surprised to find that his figure was not reflected in the mirror.

"Am I already dead?" Leomaster's face turned pale. "Merciful Lord, I have been practicing hard for decades and have never stopped praying. If I have died, why haven't I come to you? My Have your sins not been atoned for?"

Klein frowned, and he took a step forward and found that he was no longer reflected in the mirror.

"I just looked in the mirror, and an evil copy of me ran out of the mirror. I defeated it, and then I felt calm..."

Of course, Klein didn't think he was dead. He tried to speculate on the truth: "It can be understood that this sealed mirror will materialize the evil parts of people? After those evil parts are eliminated, the mirror will no longer be able to reflect it. , or the image will no longer appear in a short period of time?"

He looked at Leomaster, waiting for the other person's answer.

"I didn't... I didn't kill my copy." Leo Master had calmed down and began to try to remember, "There is no me in the mirror, does it mean that my copy has left or been killed by me? But I fundamental……"

Leomaster suddenly stopped and his eyes gradually widened.

Klein looked at the side profile of the place and suddenly came up with a ridiculous guess.

The ascetic Leomaster said that he had many companions, but none of them appeared in this dream...

This dream represents a huge prison, as if it is trying to trap something...

From beginning to end, apart from Leo Master, the only one lingering here is the "Black Saint"...

He tightened his grip on the imaginary "Poseidon Scepter" in his hand and chose to rationally delete some of the negative effects of this sealed object. This was the source of Klein's confidence.

He chose to face Leomaster and backed away slowly, ready to fight and leave at any moment.

"I seem to remember -" Leomaster's eyes straightened, he held the candlestick and murmured as if out of body, "I pushed open this door, and I saw this mirror..."

Klein felt as if Leomaster suddenly stood upright. In fact, this was a sensory illusion.

The ascetic monk who had always acted with the self-awareness of an ordinary person suddenly had a dangerous and fierce aura on his body. This made Klein feel that the other person had suddenly become much taller, and he almost had to look up!

"Evil entities began to appear, and we began to fight against them... This is a test set by the Lord. They have succeeded. Only my trial is not over yet..."

The ascetic monk murmured to himself. He maintained that strange momentum and slowly turned around to look at Klein.

Those pure black eyes flashed with red light.

Klein's face was solemn, and the "Poseidon Scepter" in his hand quickly glowed with silver-white brilliance.

At this moment, the tall ascetic monk suddenly nodded towards Klein and smiled.

Then, the dark prison suddenly became brighter, and brilliant white dominated his vision.

Klein naturally opened his eyes, which were warmed by the sunlight shining in from outside.

Like waking up from a dream.
