Chapter 321

There is a well guarded dungeon under St. Lauren's Cathedral.

It is a well-known "secret" that there is a dungeon in the church in the continent of mirov. Through various knight novels and historical documents, even the common people know that there will be darkness in the holy land. They will not leave any pity for these outlaws and heretics, even the kind priest who will distribute food to the poor.

Because that is betraying the human identity, giving up the human morality, leaving the human society, there is no doubt that the non-human residue, treat these hateful existence, no need to pray, no need to repent, use no matter how cruel means will be forgiven.

No one doubts this, because there are stories about cults spread among the people, which let everyone know that this is justice.

Crossing the inconspicuous dark corridor, walking down the granite stairs, opening two doors made of fine steel, and passing through the narrow passage full of magic traps, Joshua and others came to the dark dungeon 50 meters away from the earth's surface.

Based on solid granite with a thickness of more than one meter, and then poured with molten iron and steel, St. Lauren's Dungeon is not so much a basement as a huge iron pot deeply buried in the ground. It has no gap and is airtight. It uses magic to purify the air and ensure absolute closure with the outside world. Countless magic covers its appearance, All communications are blocked.

It can be said that entering here is a complete isolation from the outside world.

All the Heretics in Moldavia are held here waiting to be executed. The day they are executed is harvest day every autumn. On that day, the city square will be filled with all kinds of instruments of torture, such as cross, guillotine, crematorium, and so on. All the instruments of torture will be ready, and then the heretics will be given different death penalty according to the wishes of the people.

Article 37 of the imperial code states that the category of penalty, especially the category of death penalty, is decided by the people.

On both sides of the dungeon, there are dim pyroxene lamps. The gray silver light flickers and shines out the dust in the air. Under the leadership of bishop atannis, Joshua and others walk through the outer cell, where no one is covered with dust, as if no one has been in for a long time. They notice the curious eyes of the soldiers, The old bishop opened his mouth and explained, "it's been a long time since there have been Heretics in the north."

After coming here, the voice of atannis became low and serious. There was a cold and painful light in the eyes of the original kind Bishop: "except for a few sacrificial events in the years when I was a child, there have been no Heretics in Moldavia in the past 60 or 70 years."

——And my sister, who disappeared at that time, has not been heard from.

Without saying this, the old bishop continued to say in a low voice, "these heretics are the first in my term of office. I put them in the innermost cell."

Joshua noticed that, according to the grammar of maccroft's continental common language, the old bishop used the animal's it to the heretics, not the human's he.

But what does it matter? It doesn't matter. The soldier shrugs. The heretics are not human.

They are monsters born after chaos engulfs the human heart.

"Monseigneur!"

There were several guards in the dungeon. When they heard the footsteps, they went out on guard. However, when they found out that the man was bishop atannis, they bowed their heads with respect and let the group pass.

"It's hard for you. Your Lord will come to see those evil believers today. Keep your door."

Nodding slightly to the knights, the old Bishop gave a pause, and then solemnly gave the order: "later, no matter what sound you hear, don't get close."

"Yes

The Knights responded in unison. They didn't find it strange. It's too normal for the Lord to interrogate the Heretics in his territory. No one can find out the reason for doubt. It doesn't matter what kind of treatment the heretics will be given, what kind of screams and howls they will make.

As long as you have seen the scene of the cult sacrifice, no matter how much it is, people will never have the slightest sympathy for those remnants.

Fortunately, these Knights lowered their heads and did not see Joshua's face. Even if some people raised their heads and saw the side or back of the soldiers with the corner of their eyes, they were not deterred so much. At most, they felt a palpitation, and then lamented their Lord's strong momentum and heavy dignity. Otherwise, it would certainly cause panic and confusion.

The deepest part of the dungeon is darkness. The pyroxene lamp hanging here has been replaced with a strange magic prop. It is a rhombic purple crystal, which releases the confused magic light of the releaser. Joshua stretched out his finger and felt its magic wave. He couldn't help but pick his brow: "forbidden position?""There's also an anti stealth field. No matter whether it's magic or fighting, you can't sneak in here."

In answer to the soldier, bishop atannis stopped. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "here we are."

Then he clapped his hands, and the wave of the holy light came out, as if it had activated some Dharma array. Suddenly, the dazzling positive energy light slanted out from the ceiling, shining the dark dungeon very bright.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"Turn it off, turn this off!"

"Woo

All of a sudden, countless screams came out of the silent corner, and Joshua squinted and scanned around with the light.

This is an oval hall. Around the hall, there are thirty cells which are too narrow to stand or lie down, and can only allow people to squat. There are double-layer steel fences on the periphery of the cells, and these fences also flow with the holy light lines visible to the naked eye. It looks very strong.

Most of these cells are empty, their floors are polluted by black and red stains, the walls are covered with dark red diffuse lines, and even suspicious yellow grease has penetrated into the cracks of the walls.

However, in the not empty cells, there are people who are screaming and writhing wildly. They are exposed to the light of positive energy and emit dark smoke. However, limited to the narrow cells, they can't get up or lie down. The long squatting makes these guys' knee covers become a lump of iron and can't move.

"It's just these guys. Although they are so unbearable now, they are actually very tough. We have been interrogating for a long time, but we haven't got any news."

In a tone that Joshua had never heard of before, but which made people feel normal, bishop atannis's face was as cold as steel: "eight people died in the previous trial, and now there are 19 people left, my child. You can do whatever you want, even if all of them are dead."

As long as you can find out.

"Damned hypocrite --"

Hearing these words, a prisoner who was originally screaming in the cell suddenly raised his head. He said with a vague voice, as if with a wild smile: "you never know what you are going to face. The gospel of our Lord is coming, and you will finally fall into despair, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

And the figures in other cells seemed to be inspired by the prisoner's words. Suddenly, the scream disappeared, and all kinds of foul language and profane prayers rang out. One of the voices was especially loud: "you won't know anything!"

There is no doubt that the appearance of these prisoners is human. They have eyes, nose, ears and mouth. However, although their bodies are so thin that they seem to have no meat because of hunger and fatigue, and their eye sockets are deep in their eyes, as long as you see their expressions, you will know that they are absolutely not human.

As if they were smearing a layer of mud on their bones, the muddy flesh and blood kept flowing, forming a twisted and incomparable expression, as if they were laughing, as if they were howling in pain. Their skin was full of blood vessels and green tendons, and they could see dark purple liquid flowing behind them, The eyes of these heretics are closed because of the strong positive energy light, but through the thin eyelids, we can see that their eyes are twisting in an unnatural way.

Gradually adapted to the light of positive energy, these heretics began to open their eyes and look at the center of the cell hall.

Their eyes without exception, are flashing disgusting, something rotten off the dark green light, this light is like a whirlpool, twisted and deep, people can not help but think of bottomless mud swamp

"No? It's not up to you. "

Ignoring these heretics, the old Bishop gave a cold smile. He turned his head, patted Joshua on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "it's up to you."

Don't be lenient with these monsters.

Then he got out of the way and walked out of the cell hall.

"No problem."

While Joshua was passing by, he said softly, "I have no pity for the enemy."

Later, he signaled Ying and Lin to leave with atannis. Although Shenji sister and brother hesitated, they still obeyed the master's idea and followed the old bishop out of the cell hall.

And just as the footsteps of the three atannis gradually went away, the soldier took a step forward and walked to the center of the cell hall. With a grim smile, he scanned all the cells and said in a voice as cold as polar ice: "leisure time is over."

"Now, look at me!"But originally these heretics were a little at a loss because of the sudden departure of the old bishop. They didn't know why as a clergyman, atannis was so relieved to hand over the task of interrogation to a stranger, but it didn't matter. Just as these guys were ready to laugh at the man in front of them, the air suddenly solidified.

Because they all saw Joshua's face.

How does that feel? No one can describe it. It's like the air in the lungs is drawn out in an instant, and the throat can only make a creaking spasm. All the heretics close their mouths in an instant, and their teeth are not enough to vibrate up and down, making a shuddering sound.

Originally bright and dazzling, the light of positive energy was even brighter than the sun, which seemed to fade in an instant. Endless black fog was filling out from the man standing in the middle of the cell. The black fog seemed just like ink mist, but countless ferocious monster faces emerged from it, as if the heavy pressure of the deep sea had virtually suppressed all heretics, They want to breathe, but despair found that the lung refused to work because of fear, only a little bit of waiting for suffocation.

Unable to collapse, unable to kneel down, nose filled with a strong smell of rust, the narrow cell does not even allow these prisoners to twist their heads, their necks and eyeballs also refuse to work, unable to lower and close, can only wait for their consciousness to blur bit by bit.

A heretic who was closest to Joshua seemed to see a demon God from hell, and the demon God was approaching. He raised his hand composed of black steel and sword blade and extended it to himself.

Before the complete coma, the evil cult felt a hand holding its hair and lifted its head. It saw a pair of blood red, as if the burning eyes were looking at it. The piercing cold was flowing in the bone marrow and blood vessels, which instantly made the will clear.

"Say everything you know!"

Hearing a sonorous sound like the friction of steel, the mind that was originally infected by chaos seemed to be struck by a giant hammer at this moment. The cult felt his whole soul shaking violently, and his heart fell into the abyss with endless despair. His eyes were confused in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly, and then slowly opened, Even the knight's will, which hasn't wavered in his torture for half a month, is now close to overturning.

But just as he was about to open his mouth and reveal all the truth and secrets, the evil cult suddenly opened his eyes and howled violently.

The voice was so shrill that it was far more painful than before. Even Joshua felt the pain from the other side's soul. Under the soldiers' gaze, the two eyes of the evil cult seemed to jump out of their eyes. His thin body began to expand violently, and his face covered with blood and tendons became blue, The liquid inside made a viscous flowing sound.

"No! My Lord, no! I didn't say it. I didn't say it. Woo

The shrill and deformed screams burst out of the heretic's throat. It was already a high pitched voice of inhuman level. Joshua released his hand and let go of his opponent's hair. He frowned at the scene and his eyes were full of solemnity.

This heretic was originally a man, which can be seen from his tolerable appearance. But now, no one can see any information from his face. The flesh and blood, which was originally called face, has become black and blue, and the things under his skin seem to have been completely dissolved, It makes its face seem to fall off its skull at any time.

"Poof"

Suddenly, a string of purplish red blood was spurted from the ear hole of the evil cult, and the smell of fishy smell immediately permeated the whole cell hall, and the positive energy light was continuously shining, which purified the chaotic smell with disgusting smell. After the blood spurting in the ear, the body of the evil cult became motionless, and it no longer struggled, No longer scream, but like a zombie standing in the same place, its eyes out of the blood, thin body now also strange swollen up.

"I didn't expect... I thought it was just an ordinary cult attack, but I never thought it was such a situation."

The frown grew tighter and tighter until he finally stood up. Joshua's expression was very serious. He ignored other prisoners who had been in a coma for a long time. Instead, he looked at the heretic who seemed to be dead in front of him and muttered to himself, "ahead of time? No, it should have happened in Yuannan. I didn't pay attention to Beidi in my previous life, so maybe the same thing happened in Beidi too... "

As Joshua murmured to himself, other strange changes began to take place in the heretic's body. First of all, his swollen body burst suddenly, and a huge amount of black turbid liquid ran along the crack, Then, the half melted viscera leaked from the crevices of the skin. Finally, they seemed to be corroded and completely melted into the warm black turbid liquid.Because all the flesh and viscera were dissolved by the black liquid and flowed out, the original heretics only had a layer of skin, which was supported in place by the skeleton. As for people, they were naturally dead and could not die any more.

"Melanosis."

"The great act of the evil god of plague."

"It was a super plague that killed 60 percent of the population in the far south coast."

Without the slightest nostalgia of turning around, Joshua's expression has been completely cold down.

"This matter can not be dealt with by the northern region alone. To deal with the plague, the whole country must do its best. It is necessary to report it to the imperial capital as soon as possible and inform his majesty."
