The Death List Novel - Chapter 496
Chapter 496 Sacred Object
“Sacred object?” Qin Lun’s gaze flickered as he calculated quickly in his mind.
The deal that Amp, the husband of the young couple, had just made for him was in fact an intelligence report. Before the Battle of London, the Vatican’s French Royal Hall was still in partnership with the British. Everyone belonged to the Allied camp.
The Amps and the Tito team were affiliated with the storyline forces of Green College and the Vatican. In fact, the main lines of the two teams are also competing. The Tito team needs to protect Buckingham Palace. The Amps, on the other hand, were ordered by the Vatican to work with mobile crusaders to shatter Britain’s last line of defence.
Of course, after receiving the news of the Samsara invasion, the plot lines of all the apostles were no longer important. They had more direct enemies. There are plenty of Vatican insiders like the Amps hiding in Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, most of them spies and cannon fodder sent by the French Royal Court before the battle.
After the Amps entered this world, they had accumulated a few small missions before joining the Vatican’s invasion plan. For the Vatican, they are just cannon fodder for ambush missions. For the Amps, it was just an ordinary apostolic mission.
However, even if it was cannon fodder, the Amps had also learned some valuable information that could not be obtained from outside forces. The Ninth Crusade was launched by the Law Palace. Not only did they invest in the three Super Human Knights, they also had a portion of the Thorn Palace’s bitter cultivators join the battle.
The bitter cultivators in Thorn Hall belonged to the Vatican’s sophisticated combat prowess. The Amps learned from various sources before the war that in order to obtain the final victory, the bitter cultivators had brought two or three sacred artifacts with them.
The leaders of the French Royal Hall knew that attacking Britain at such a time would provoke disgust from other superhuman organisations, and might even face the siege of the Avengers and Green College during the war.
Therefore, these sacred artifacts were their last resort. If the war could end quickly, the rest of the world would also acquiesce in the Vatican’s victory. After all, the Vatican’s war against London was not a secular war, but a religious war for the rest of the world.
The Vatican has no intention of banning the British government, but of restoring Catholicism to the British Isles and eliminating Protestantism. The main targets of the war were the British royal family and Protestant headquarters, which advocated Protestantism, and the HELLSING agency, which raised vampires.
“There are a few sacred artifacts brought by Vatican bitter cultivators. Tell me more!” Qin Lun pondered for a while before finally asking again.
“Two or three pieces. We don’t know exactly what they are. At present, we only know the location of one of them.” Upon hearing Qin Lun’s question, Amp knew that the man in front of him was finally tempted. He calmed down and replied sincerely.
“Now is the best time to hunt. I can’t afford to waste too much time on this!” After pondering for a moment, Qin Lun finally sighed. He shook his head and said, “The bitter cultivators who possess sacred artifacts should all be experts. The risks are not proportional to the benefits. I’m sorry!”
Qin Lun’s words carried a trace of regret. This was not his posture, but the temptation of the sacred object was simply too great.
The civilizations of this world had changed only after World War II. Before that, they were no different from the Earth Federation where Qin Lun lived. Countless resplendent civilizations had been born on the ancient earth, but some of them had long since disappeared.
Today, the civilizations that can still be passed down are generally divided into eastern and western civilizations, and in this world, the popularity of western civilizations is wider, and the essence of oriental civilization only exists in the ancient country in the east.
The origin of western civilization can be traced back to thousands of B.C., with Jerusalem as the center of the Heavenly Awakening religion, Judaism, Old Christianity, Islam originated here. The three major branches of the Old Christian Church are Catholicism, Orthodox Church and Protestant Church.
To some extent, Catholic sacred objects could also be regarded as sacred objects of Western civilization. There were not even ten fingers of Western civilization that could be called the sacred object of Christ, and some of them were still not recognized.
This kind of item that condensed the essence of the entire civilization, regardless of whether it could become an apostle’s equipment or not, the Laws of the World and the level of exploration it possessed were things that the starry sky was extremely eager for. If he really got one, then Qin Lun’s harvest in this world would exceed his imagination.
The key point was that this thing was simply a castle in the air and could not be seen. A bitter cultivator who possessed a sacred object, even if he was an ordinary person, would become a peak expert in the world under the blessing of the sacred object. No matter how arrogant Qin Lun was, he would not think that he already possessed the peak strength of the world.
Moreover, the current situation was that the Mobile Crusaders had the overall advantage. There shouldn’t be any shortage of cannon fodder around the bitter cultivators. The difficulty of this kind of battle was even greater than Qin Lun’s previous battle with Alcatel.
If Qin Lun wanted to chase after the sacred object, he would have to give up his current hunting plan. On one side were ripe fruits waiting to be picked, while on the other side were untouchable mirages, so it was self-evident how to choose.
“It won’t take too much time. You just need to send us out of this war zone and leave central London. We can meet up with the Crusaders of the Vatican.” ‘”Actually, the storyline character who gave us the mission is currently directing the siege, and he has a bitter cultivator with a sacred object by his side.” Amp said cautiously, seizing Qin Lun’s regretful expression.
“Not far from here?” Qin Lun understood what Amp meant and his pupils constricted. For the first time, he hesitated.
“Your Excellency, it will only take you an hour and a half. When the time comes, you will snatch the sacred artifact and return to the inner city to continue hunting. Why not?” An Pu’s voice sounded in Qin Lun’s ears like he was talking in a dream.
“If you lie to me, you should know what the consequences will be, right?” Qin Lun took a deep breath and looked at Amp. He was finally tempted. Although he knew that the greatest possibility was to return without success, this kind of temptation was indeed not easy to ignore in front of him.
“My lord, our husband and wife are willing to sign a contract with you. If we arrive at our destination and do not discover the owner of the sacred object, then our lives will be at your disposal!” An Pu gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a trace of ruthlessness.
In fact, even though he knew that the storyline character who commanded the battle was indeed accompanied by the Sacred Artifact Bitter Cultivator, he still didn’t know if that person was still there.
At this moment, the war was raging everywhere, and there was no safe area in the inner city of London. Even if they hid, they wouldn’t be able to do so for long. In such a dangerous place, Qin Lun was already their last hope. If they didn’t gamble now, the reincarnated or other robbed apostles would discover that they didn’t even have the capital to gamble.
“Alright, I’ll trust you once!” Qin Lun grinned, revealing a mouthful of flawless white teeth. Although his smile was like spring, it made the Amps shiver.
“Monica, I’m going to trouble you again!” Qin Lun looked at the Sandstorm Queen apologetically.
“En!” Monica nodded her head reservedly. She turned around and turned into a salon whirlwind, engulfing Qin Lun and the Amps. She slowly rose into the night sky.
There were some things she didn’t understand about the conversation between Qin Lun and Amp. She only knew that Gerhardt had changed his initial battle plan and targeted the Catholic sacred object.
However, the Sandstorm Queen did not care about this. She would participate in this battle because it was entirely for this man. As long as her man was safe, everything else was secondary.
“Boss Tie, what should we do now?” Looking at the sandstorm tornado that had already ascended into the sky, the monkey asked his two companions softly.
Tito’s eyes lit up and he hesitated for a moment before he said, “Holy thing? Let’s go. We’ll meet up with Hugo and the others first. The reincarnators of this invasion seem to be elites. It’s hard for us to do anything.”
…
“Gerthard, why did you let that woman off just now?” Monica whispered in Qin Lun’s ear as she deliberately separated the Amps after they flew into the air.
“Are you referring to the metallizer?” Qin Lun smiled bitterly and said, “Originally, I wanted to use her as bait to take us to hunt other superhumans, but I didn’t expect that the plan wouldn’t be as good as a change. She’s lucky!”
Just now, Qin Lun had the chance to kill Alice directly, but in the end, he was only blinded. Actually, it was because he thought that there might be a connection between Samsara cultivators. He originally wanted to use this woman to catch other Samsara cultivators and speed up the hunt.
Most of the reincarnators who entered this world were elite elites, and not guilds. Even if Alice knew that Qin Lun was using her, she would not hesitate to drag others into the water in order to survive. This was an excellent guide.
With Monica’s aerial surveillance, Qin Lun was not afraid of losing face. Once he encountered the second group of reincarnations, he would kill Alice and then release another reincarnation, causing a chain reaction.
Alice was the first domino to fall, and this kind of hunt was far more efficient than his own search throughout the inner city of London. However, after killing Uka, Amp’s intelligence forced Qin Lun to give up on tracking down the modern girl. She could only say that Alice’s luck was too strong.
“So that’s how it is. That blue-eyed young man is really unlucky!” The beautiful face formed by the sandstorm pursed its lips and chuckled.
Qin Lun glanced at the death list and shook his head speechlessly. Sometimes fate was like this, always playing tricks on people. Uka was actually much stronger than Alice. After killing this blindfolded Samsara, the death list prompted him to kill a Second Grade Samsara.
Wu Ka’s rank was actually the same as his, but his strength was slightly weaker than his. Recalling the battle with Wu Ka, Qin Lun couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. This fellow’s pupils were actually even more powerful than the [Star Black Hole].
The [Star Black Hole] was merely a pupil technique that slightly possessed the Laws of Space and Time. This fellow’s pupil technique essentially possessed an independent nano-world, and it was simply incomparable to the [Star Black Hole].
Perhaps the skill level wasn’t even at A-class, but the Laws were definitely higher than the [Star Black Hole]. Qin Lun vaguely guessed that Wu Ka’s main body might not be a human, but some kind of void creature. That pupil skill should belong to his own innate talent.
If Wu Ka could enter a higher level, the nano-world in his pupils might no longer be a single illusion. He should also possess various offensive and defensive spells. Perhaps he was at the peak of the higher ranks, and it would be difficult for any non-high-ranked apostle to escape against him.
Wu Ka was too confident and had a strong sense of self-control. He thought that Qin Lun didn’t have any companions and directly used his forbidden talent. In the end, under the backlash, he didn’t even have the chance to fight for his life.
This was also the ability characteristic of the Sandstorm Queen. After dissolving the sand, there was no normal person’s life fluctuation. If you don’t pay attention to it, no matter how high your perception is, you will only treat her like sand and dust.
