As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 218
Chapter 218: Phantom Dragon
At the Ash Mountain Range, two people appeared here.
“Teacher, are you sure that there really is a phantom dragon here?”
“What, you don’t believe me?”
“That is a legend after all. Moreover, if there really is a phantom dragon, the Temple of Light would have purified it long ago!”
“Ha, the Temple of Light?”
The old man sneered and said, “That group of false believers, other than using the name of the Temple of Light to do some cheating and stealing, what else can they do? Their daily work is to clean up heretics like us!”
Hearing this, the woman’s body trembled slightly.
The old man sneered and said, “Why? Are you afraid? Or do you regret being my apprentice?”
“Teacher, I don’t regret it!”
The woman said in a resentful voice, “Ever since my sister was burned to death on the sacrificial stake of the Temple of Light as a necromancer, the Temple of Light and I have been at odds with each other! If Teacher didn’t save me back then, perhaps I would have been captured by the Temple of Light.”
“It’s good that you know!”
The old man said with his hoarse voice, “Since you’ve embarked on the path of the necromancer, it’s too late to regret it! However, you don’t have to be afraid. After I turn into a lich, becoming a Demigod Rank expert, what’s the big deal about the Temple of Light?”
“Teacher, I’ll work hard to learn spiritual magic from you!”
They were an old man and a young man.
They walked through the barren Ash Mountain Range.
But in the woman’s heart, there was still a doubt.
That was, what was the difference between the Orthodox Church and the God of Light Sect?
But she just hid this doubt in her heart.
She did not ask.
She was afraid of angering the old man that she called ‘Teacher’ again.
Looking up, the surrounding mountains were clearly visible. They were all gray-black rocks, as if they had been burned black by flames. And there was no vegetation at all.
At the same time, there were also countless white corpses piled up in many carved mountains.
Such a scene would make one’s hair stand on end.
However, the old man and the young man did not show the slightest fear. They even stepped on the white bones, as if they were walking on the most ordinary road.
In their eyes, the white bones were perhaps just as ordinary as the rocks by the roadside.
After some time…
The old man who had walked past a few mountains suddenly stopped.
The woman nervously looked around and asked in a low voice, “Teacher, you have found the ghost of the giant dragon?”
“No!”
The old man looked at the foot of the mountain in the distance and said with a sinister laugh, “What a strange day. I did not see the giant dragon, but I saw so many Holy Knights!”
“Holy Knights! ?”
The woman exclaimed and quickly followed the old man’s gaze.
At that moment, she was stunned.
At the foot of the mountain in the distance, a large number of figures suddenly appeared.
They were wearing white armor and walking like the wind. When they passed through the rocky mountain road, they also walked as if they were walking on flat ground.
“Why would holy knights suddenly appear in the Ash Mountain Range?!”
The woman was extremely terrified. “Could it be that the people of the Temple of Light has discovered our tracks and chased us here?!”
Hearing this, the old man disdainfully glanced at her.
“If that group of hypocrites of Temple of Light really dared to chase us, they wouldn’t have let us run to the Ash Mountain Range.”
Then, he looked at the group of Holy Knights at the foot of the mountain with a serious expression.
He then said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid that they are the Holy Knights of the Orthodox Church!”
“The Orthodox Church?”
The woman was stunned for a moment.
She was just thinking about the Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church really appeared.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
The old man didn’t know what the woman was thinking.
His heart was heavy.
“This is going to be difficult. The Orthodox Church is different from the group of hypocrites from the Temple of light. This is a sect with real abilities!”
The woman listened to the old man’s words and kept sizing up the Holy Knight.
When she saw the two figures in completely different clothes at the front of the Holy Knight, she hurriedly asked, “Teacher, do you think that the one walking at the front is the Pontiff of the Orthodox Church?”
The old man took a look.
The old face hidden under the black robe suddenly became incomparably solemn.
“That’s right! That’s the Pontiff of the Orthodox Church. That crown is the symbol of his identity!”
“This is going to be troublesome!!”
The old man’s mood became even heavier.
The woman was stunned for a moment, not quite sure why her teacher would say such a thing.
His teacher had clearly been so calm when facing the Divine Hall of light, so how did it become the Orthodox Church that was different.
The woman could not help but ask, “Why?”
“Why?”
The old man suddenly snorted, with a sneer, he said, “To be able to come to the Ash Mountain Range, it must be the nearby Orthodox Church. and the nearest Orthodox Church is the Holy Church in San Lorenzo. Although it is a newly built Holy Church, the master there is not simple at all!”
The old man narrowed his eyes.
He said a few words very clearly.
“Pontiff Monn, who forced back the entire werewolf army by himself!”
Pontiff Monn?!
Hearing these words, a very familiar feeling welled up in her heart.
She thought carefully.
She suddenly recalled.
When the werewolves attacked the entire Kingdom of Kate, It was this Pontiff Monn who stood out.
With a normal flaming sword in hand, he forced back hundreds of thousands of werewolves.
He then became famous in an instant!
At that time, she was also a girl who worshipped Pontiff Monn.
However, some of her things were destroyed by the Temple of Light!
Thinking of this, the girl couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Endless hatred surged up again.
At this moment…
The old man waved the bone magic staff in his hand.
He released a terrifying power of the undead.
The white bones that were surrounded by the power of the undead began to tremble strangely.
Then, they combined together even more strangely.
Finally, they turned into strange-looking beast skeletons.
Other than the ordinary skeleton soldiers, there were also many skeleton warriors riding on the backs of the giant skeleton wolves.
With a glance, the surroundings were full of creepy skeleton creatures.
There were thousands of them!
The woman stared blankly at this scene and could not help but ask, “Teacher, this is…”
The old man snorted and laughed, “I heard that this Pontiff Monn has a lot of divine artifacts. Since I have met them, these divine artifacts are naturally mine.”
“But, didn’t you say that Pontiff Monn is very powerful?”
The old man didn’t care and said, “If I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, how can I listen to the words of others? Moreover…”
At this point, the old man paused and lowered his head to look at the scepter in his hand.
He said with a smile, “I’m not much weaker than him!”
Just when the changes were taking place at the Ash Mountain Range…
The Holy Knight Army at the foot of the mountain naturally discovered their existence.
Monn stood at the foot of the mountain and looked indifferently at the old man and the young woman standing at the top of the mountain.
“I didn’t expect to meet a necromancer during my trip to the Ash Mountain Range.”
