The flames of the church have been extinguished, the smoke has fallen, and the remaining warmth is still there, but the cardinal is no longer there, but the cardinal's loyal servant Niquanks survives.
Niquanks is also a legendary figure in the Ancient City of the Moon. He was originally a slave, and as a slave, he reached a position where one person in the church is lower than ten thousand people. Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil.
The cardinal hardly showed up. All matters, big and small, were handled by Nichanx. All orders from the cardinal were conveyed downwards by Nichanx. In front of Nichanx, even the city lord Gandalf? Russell also had to be courteous. Such a great man, after learning that the cardinal was dead, immediately found Liu Wei'an to surrender and kneel on the ground.
The reason is simple, he is afraid.
Following the Cardinal, he enjoyed endless glory and status, but at the same time he offended many people and forces. When the Cardinal was around, everyone was honest and did not dare to have any evil thoughts. Once the Cardinal died, Everything is different. The mountain pressing down on everyone's heads is gone. It's time to take revenge and avenge each other.
In order to save his life, Gandalf Russell must find a new backer, and that is Liu Wei'an. In order for Liu Wei'an to accept his surrender, he revealed the church's biggest secret.
Liu Wei'an followed Niquanks to the underground world of the church. The explosion of the pyramid completely destroyed the above-ground part and the underground part in all likelihood, but a small number of parts were still preserved.
The main body of the pyramid underground is dozens of times larger than that on the ground. The huge space is filled with mountains of dead bones and corpses, most of which are zombies and a small number of which are human.
These human bones are dark and green. These are not the bones of normal humans, but the bones of humans infected with the zombie virus.
The corpses of the zombies were dry and rotten. When stepped on, they turned into fragments and powder with a click.
"Why is this happening?" Huang Yueyue also came down. Although the zombies were ugly and rotten, their bodies were as hard as iron and not easy to decay. However, the corpses in front of them seemed to have passed thousands or tens of thousands of years.
It has only been a few years since the end of the world began.
"The essence was drained away by some force." Li Ershui squatted down, picked up a bone, and gently kneaded it with his fingers. The bone turned into powder and fell.
"Taken away by the pyramid." Puniquanks said.
"How is the pyramid made?" Huang Yueyue asked. The essence inside the bones is actually a kind of power. Explained by science, it is a kind of energy. However, this kind of energy cannot be touched by modern technology.
It is impossible for modern technology to transfer the power of one person to another person. Can the pyramid do it?
"I don't know about this, but the pyramid can be done." Niquanks said seriously.
"What are you going to do with all this power?" Liu Wei'an asked slowly.
"The pyramid extracts the essence of zombies and converts it into energy, which is stored in the pyramid. People who are loyal to the church can gain strength and strengthen themselves through prayer." Puniquanx said.
Li Ershui was shocked, and immediately thought of black-robed monks and white-robed monks. He found the reason why these two levels of monks could be mass-produced. It turned out to be because of the pyramid.
"Do all the masters of the church make things like this?" Liu Wei'an asked. Niquankes was talking about prayer, but in his opinion, it was just making, like a factory assembly line.
"Some are, some are not, but most of them are. Many evolvers have joined in after learning about the benefits of prayer." Niquanks answered.
"Can it only be a zombie? Can it be a dead one?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"It's okay, but the effect is very poor and it takes up a lot of space. The bishop is picky and usually only accepts live ones, not dead ones." Niquanks replied.
"If the number of zombies is endless, does it mean that we can continuously create masters?" Li Ershui asked.
"Theoretically, that's the case." Nickens said.
"Actually?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"I heard the bishop say that the energy transformed by the pyramid is very violent and contains a lot of negative emotions. If the prayers are not sincere, the person who prays will go crazy or die." Niquanks replied.
"Is there still danger?" Huang Yueyue was surprised.
"The pyramid can only transform power, but cannot make a commission. Those who accept this power need to rely on their own perseverance to purify the negative forces in the power. In addition, the process of receiving power is not smooth sailing. It is said that inner demons will appear. , and people will lose their lives." Niquanx said.
"What kind of inner demon?" Li Ershui asked.
"I don't know about this." Niquanks shook his head.
"Aren't you practicing?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"Accepting power is a long-term process. You must be calm and focused. I have too many distracting thoughts in my mind and am not suitable for practice." When Niquanks said this, his tone was very complicated. I don't know whether he was regretful or lucky.
"Is this thing applicable to all pyramids, or is it specific?" Li Eashui already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't help but hope.
"In the ancient city of the moon, this is the only pyramid that can do it." Niquanks broke Li Eishui's fantasy.
"Why?" Huang Yueyue was puzzled.
"I don't know either." Niquanks shook his head. Although he was the closest person to the Cardinal, in the eyes of the Cardinal, he was just a slave.
"Will the zombies become like this after absorbing all their energy?" Liu Wei'an asked slowly.
"Yes!" Niquanks said respectfully.
"How to deal with these residues?" Liu Wei'an asked again.
"The church has regulations that bury the body after cremation." Niquanks hesitated for a moment and whispered: "...But I only did this at the beginning. Then I found a canyon and poured it directly into it."
Liu Wei'an shook his head. Although the essence of the zombies has been exhausted and only the remains of bones are left, these residues still contain the terrible zombie virus. Evolved people can be immune to it, but ordinary people will still be infected. If the church does this, maybe in a short time No problem. Over time, someone will inevitably come into contact with these residues and cause harm. The longer the time goes by, the greater the consequences will be.
The church's actions are obviously very irresponsible.
"Your church is harming people." Huang Yueyue also thought of this.
"Let's go!" Liu Wei'an took the lead and walked out of the underground space. Most of it was destroyed by the explosion. Less than one-fifth of the remaining space was left, but it was enough to judge the size of the pyramid. There was no need to look at other places.
Back on the ground, the ancient city of the moon has returned to calm. However, that is calm on the surface. Undercurrents are surging underneath. Everyone knows that the Ancient Moon City has changed, and the lower-level people are relatively slow to respond to hits. The chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, elders, and clan leaders are all thinking in their hearts. Any change contains dangers and opportunities. Everyone wants to take advantage of it. Seize the opportunity to improve yourself.
The Cardinal’s cathedral has been destroyed. However, the most indispensable thing in the Moon Ancient City is the church. The Black Moon Church is the largest church in the Moon Ancient City. As for why the Cardinal does not take over the Black Moon Church, the reason is very simple. The Black Moon Church was built with donations from the ten major chambers of commerce. In order to make a correct political choice, the cardinal could not live in the Black Moon Church. Now, it is cheaper than Jin Gonggui Eagle Aragon.
The largest hall on the first floor of the cathedral can accommodate 3,000 people praying at the same time. The main function of the church is to pray, and meetings are only held occasionally.
The chairs are divided into two colors, black and red. The black chairs are for ordinary people to sit on, while the red chairs are for the elders and patriarchs. The Mayan Empire is a multi-ethnic country. In the ancient city of the moon, there are as many as 3,200 ethnic groups, large and small. , before the doomsday, this number was 15,622, and after the doomsday, only one-fifth remained.
Among the ethnic groups that still exist today, many may perish at any time. Some ethnic groups only have a dozen people, and the least is only one. There are men and women, old and young. It is difficult for such people to survive in the doomsday environment.
The number of people is too small and they have little influence, so the cardinal stipulates that only ethnic groups with a number of more than 100 and a certain degree of influence are eligible to enter the Black Moon Church to participate in the meeting. After such a screening, only 241 ethnic groups can participate in the meeting. , and now, two hours have passed, and only 58 people have arrived.
Most of the people who didn't come fell in this war. The Ancient City of the Moon hasn't been breached for a long time. The people inside haven't fought with zombies for a long time. Suddenly there are so many zombies, most of them are high-level ones. Zombies, many people don’t even have the chance to fight back.
As the leader or elder of a clan, generally speaking, it is impossible to be an ordinary person. They are basically evolved people with extraordinary skills. Some people are extremely powerful. However, these people are wrong because they are in high positions and have high authority. Usually, they are evolutionaries. Mr. Li has been honing his skills. When faced with danger, he is very powerful and cannot use it 80% of the time. When encountering hunters, predators, silver zombies and the like, there is basically no way to survive.
There are also some elders who are not evolvers because they are old and respected, and become clan elders. For such people, when zombies invade, their survival rate is infinitely close to zero.
However, it is not correct to say that only 58 patriarchs and elders survived. Some of the patriarchs and elders may not be willing to come. They are well-informed and guessed something through the destruction of the church. There are other idea.
"Okay, no more waiting." Jin Gonggui Ying? Aragon kept an eye on the time. The notification time was two hours, so as soon as the two hours passed, he immediately ordered the door of the church to be closed.
"etc--"
Just as the silver-clad warrior closed the door halfway, there was a loud shout outside, and then two people strode in. One was tall, with a beard all over his face, looking like a wild lion, and the other was older and had half a hair. White, short and fat, with small eyes.
"Didn't you see us coming? Are you still closing the door? Do you want to die?" The tall man scolded the silver-robed warrior. The silver-robed warrior was obedient and did not dare to say anything.
Jin Gong Guiying? Aragorn's face changed slightly when he saw the two of them.
Some people died, but not completely...
