Chapter 344: Two Altars
The Corleone family has already left the island. That island should not fall unless someone damages the floating magic circle.
It can be said that this was an unexpected event no one had thought of.
The people from the church thought Minaret did it, and Minaret thought they did. They were all on guard against each other, and for a moment, no one paid attention to the island.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the island fell to the ground, creating a massive wave of wind. Countless trees and dirt were blown away, splashing dust everywhere.
Boom!
Another loud crash echoed, and a wave of deathly energy shot into the sky. The strength of this energy even startled Minaret, who had just reached the ninth level!
What kind of deathly energy can reach such a level?
Soon, Minaret’s face changed.
She had seen this level of power before, but not in this era!
"Huh…"
At that moment, a deep voice came from that direction.
The voice clearly reached everyone’s ears, and some seventh-tier individuals felt as if their bodies were out of control, as if their organs, blood, and even cells were coming to life.
The half of the Paladins that Minaret did not kill, those sixth-tier Professionals, saw their armor change to dark blue, and bones began to extend from their bodies, binding with their armor.
"Ah!"
"What is this?"
"Death, the power of death!"
"Legionnaire leader, help…"
The superb weapon that Ricardo used earlier is still working, the terrifying Glory is spreading outward.
But even the dawn of Glory cannot stop these people’s transformation.
Those people cried out in pain, their skin turning from a normal blood color to a pale white, icy frost spreading from their bones until it covered their whole bodies.
In that moment, all the sixth-tier warriors broke through and became seventh-tier Death Knights!
Not only that, but the body of Ricardo lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, his body lost its color, his robe turned into a black cloak, and a lot of flesh fell to the ground, revealing the bones underneath.
"Ricardo!"
The Dawn Shield in the hands of legionnaire leader Purlimont smashed into Ricardo, who cried out in pain, his body crackling as if it was about to burn.
Who is the enemy that can revive an eighth-tier Red Bishop into a lich?
Purlimont knew about this experiment, but it is not possible to directly turn someone into a Death Knight!
"Those below eighth-tier, quickly leave!" Minaret shouted, "There is a god!"
Forget about those below eighth-tier, even those of eighth-tier were panicking.
A god?
How could there possibly still be a walking god in this world?
No one knew if Minaret was being alarmist, but everyone felt the terrifying change happening right now.
Those below eighth-tier turned to run at this moment, wishing they could grow two more legs.
"Legionnaire leader, what do you say?" The Pope of the Flame War God looked at Purlimont.
Purlimont pressed down on Ricardo with his shield, looking at the Professionals in the sky.
They are the elite of the church!
But they have already become Death Knights; we cannot protect them now.
"Kill!" Purlimont shouted loudly.
A bunch of cards were thrown into the air at the Death Knights; the cards that didn’t work against Minaret were incredibly powerful now.
"Huh…"
"Ahhh…"
One by one, the Death Knights began to wail, slowly turning into black mist.
Not just them, but Ricardo, who was suppressed by Purlimont’s Dawn Shield, also gradually fell silent.
Boom!
Once again, there was a loud explosion, and a terrifying darkness spread into the air. The floating island that fell to the ground looked like an ordinary stone, tossed by a force and crashed hard onto the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Everyone began to float and looked towards that spot.
There, they saw an altar that had been hidden, deep underground. If the floating island hadn’t fallen, this altar might never have seen the light of day.
In the center of the altar stood a statue, a statue only two meters tall.
The statue was dressed in knight armor, holding a large sword that was stuck in the ground. Around the statue, there were many other knight statues, all kneeling in strange poses before the central statue.
"This altar…" Minaret furrowed her brow, "Who are they worshiping?"
The dark energy that just emerged was from here.
At that moment, it gave Minaret a sense of pressure that belonged to a god, and many people were directly affected by it.
Now, after the burst of dark energy, this altar appeared calm again.
Before everyone could see clearly, there was more noise below.
……
"What is happening outside?" Aileen looked very weak.
"I don’t know…" Karoso looked at Kirmin, "How is the control panel going?"
"I’ve figured it all out." Kirmin pressed a button, "As expected from the Goblin ruins, it’s a wonderful invention! This ruin can move!"
"Let everyone see the true face of this thing!"
Boom!
The entire Goblin ruins started to shake and slowly floated upwards.
Karoso and the others felt like the room was spinning; the view outside became clearer, changing from looking up from below to a level view.
Crack, crack…
The Goblin ruins began to change.
A round room stretched up from a cube, connected by a cylindrical passage.
Two rectangles jutted out from the middle to the sides, connected by a cylindrical hallway.
A large piece dropped down, gradually changing shape into something like a tank track.
It had the head, arms, neck, and body of a normal person, but below was the tank track; this was the true form of the Goblin ruins.
It is a mobile laboratory that can also be used as a tank.
This thing doesn’t have cannons; it seems to fight with its "double fists."
Made entirely of Seastone, it has a strong suppressive effect on people.
A hole was made in this war chariot by the Minaret, and the previous Divine Punishment Magical Circle had also made it much thinner overall.
"What is that?"
"Is it a robot?"
"A robot made of Seastone?"
"From this shape, it seems to be an ancient Goblin War Machine."
"A Goblin War Machine this big?"
"This thing used for fighting, how many eighth-tier fighters could break through its defense?"
"The things made by goblins were too advanced, so they were wiped out."
"Looking inside through that hole, there are many corpses of Death Knights."
"So many nurturing tanks, is this thing used for the laboratory?"
"The Goblin War Machine is originally a mobile laboratory; ancient goblins researched wherever they went."
Everyone looked in shock at the Goblin ruins revealed before them.
The people present were all important figures, experienced and knowledgeable, and many recognized this.
Everyone looked at Purlimont with strange expressions; was the Church of Dawn Goddess playing such tricks?
Well, now everyone has seen the place where Death Knights are cultivated.
Purlimont’s face looked a bit pale; what the Church of Dawn Goddess had tried to hide was now discovered.
Damn it, who is it? Why is there someone who can control Goblin ruins? The knowledge needed to operate this kind of Goblin War Machine should have almost vanished.
Besides, who would take the time to deeply study how to manipulate such ancient machinery?
It is clear that Kirmin is a mechanical enthusiast. No matter how rare the item is, if she sees it, she will study it deeply. That is why she can create many unusual machines that others cannot.
In the eyes of the players, Kirmin is a shrewd trader. When she arrived in Karoso, her talent gradually began to shine.
"Look below!" the Pope of the Flame War God Church pointed at the things revealed after the Goblin ruins floated up.
There stood a huge statue of a Death Knight in the center, surrounded by several Death Knights. They were kneeling in very strange poses, just like the Knight Altar over there, even the depth was the same.
The only difference is that this one has Goblin ruins attached, while the other side does not.
"Lich King Temple?"
"No wonder they conduct Death Knight research in the Goblin ruins. With the Lich King Temple, it’s twice the result with half the effort!"
"Who is worshipping the Lich King?"
The continuous changes have left everyone confused, their brains a bit overwhelmed.
This is so amazing!
They just heard a noise and came over to see what was happening, discovering that the Church of the Dawn Goddess was hiding something.
While both sides were arguing, a ninth-level dark elf suddenly jumped out and, in front of everyone, took down Cardinal Ricardo in an instant.
Soon after, the floating island fell, creating an altar.
The Goblin ruins were being controlled to rise from the ground, revealing another altar that looked exactly like the first one.
……
"Who is controlling the Goblin ruins?" The Pope of the Flame War God Church, being the highest authority present, had to speak up at that moment.
Inside the war chariot, Celica said to Kirmin, "Can my voice be heard outside?"
"Use this." Kirmin pulled out a small microphone from the control panel and handed it to Celica, saying, "Let me adjust it…"
Soon, Celica’s voice reached the outside, "Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
Everyone: …
What is this feeling of being on a phone call?
"I can hear you," replied Flame War God’s Pope loudly.
"I am Red Bishop Celica from the Church of Dawn Goddess. I was investigating the dark elf auction and, by chance, ended up above these Goblin ruins. I suspect this is the work of Ricardo and want to investigate. Unexpectedly, Ricardo arrived here with the Divine Punishment Magical Circle, intending to silence me."
"Thanks to this ruin, I survived."
"I have reason to suspect that it is Ricardo who is conducting the inhumane Death Knight experiments."
"What?" Purlimont said in shock. "I am Purlimont, the legionnaire leader of the Dawn Knights Order. Archbishop Ricardo said you were in danger, so I came to help! I know nothing about any experiments!"
"You, a legionnaire leader, don’t know about this? Who are you trying to fool?" Celica shouted angrily.
The people present were speechless.
They had deep doubts about how Celica became the Red Bishop.
This Purlimont clearly wanted to shift the blame onto a dead person, at least for now, to unite everyone.
Internal matters of the church should be handled internally.
At this time, Celica shouldn’t say that Ricardo was responsible for the ruins; she should find a way to avoid blame.
But she went ahead and directly said it was Ricardo’s doing; this Ricardo, a Red Bishop, is already qualified to represent the Church of Dawn Goddess!
Not only that, she claimed it was Ricardo but also needed to drag Purlimont into it.
Normally, since they are all from the same church, they should help to cover it up a bit…
"I have been in seclusion to improve myself for years, and all matters are handled by my subordinates," Purlimont said with great sorrow. "Archbishop Celica, you must believe me; this matter can be investigated by the council!"
"Hmph, I will make sure the council investigates." Celica chuckled coldly.
"Ahem…" The Pope of the Flame War God had a smile on his face. With such a big piece of evidence against the Church of the Dawn Goddess, it would surely strike a blow to their arrogance, "Please, Archbishop Celica, come out. Some very serious things have happened here."
Soon, Celica and Sherry Peter were teleported out of the Goblin War Machine.
In an instant, various recovery cards were thrown onto the three of them.
Seeing their magic and injuries gradually heal, 『』 and Alita inside also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Ricardo was dead, the person who cast the Divine Punishment Magical Circle had turned into a Death Knight and was purified, so it would be much safer for Celica to go out now.
"Minaret…" Celica looked at Minaret, "Archbishop Ricardo may have committed the sin of visiting the Lich King and conducting experiments on living beings, but his punishment should be issued by the church! You killed the Red Bishop, do you know what this means?"
"You can come for me, but if anyone dares to harm my family…" Minaret casually dropped the bone blade that had killed Ricardo and replaced it with her own dagger, "Just be ready to be targeted by a Ninth-tier Thief."
This is why Ninth-tier Thieves are not allowed to appear; they are equivalent to nuclear deterrents.
Unless you are Tige Spoleto, who is close to reaching the tenth level, a thief of the same rank is a nightmare for everyone!
"Celica, we need to let the council decide on this!" Purlimont saw Celica getting angry and quickly stopped her, "There are more important things right now; there is the presence of a god over there."
"The presence of a god… another altar… You didn’t know about this?" Celica squinted her eyes.
"I really didn’t know!"
Purlimont insisted that he was telling the truth this time.
He knew about the Death Knight altar and the Death Knight experiment, but the dark energy coming from afar was a complete mystery to him.
Crack, crack…
Just at that moment, something strange suddenly happened.
Under the moonlight, cracks appeared on the knight statue that was being worshipped at the distant altar!
