Chapter 23: :church



The Holy Church is one of the oldest forces in the world, and its roots can no longer be traced. It is said that in the last civilization, when the gods walked in the world, the saints founded the church under the guidance of God, and it has been Leading the world to pursue the glory and glory of God.

In the era of great voyages, after the discovery of the new continent, not only the iron hoofs of the imperial powers set foot on this land, but also the divine brilliance was successfully spread under the **** of strong ships and cannons, and quickly took root and grew. A behemoth that is unimaginable in the world.

Even in this era, when the extraordinary is silent, the brilliance of God no longer appears in the world, and the strength and influence of the church have not diminished much. Not only in every country, but also in every region, there are branches of the church, and their beliefs are even more popular and direct. became the mainstream of the world's beliefs.

Compared with the hidden capital giants like the Hunter Guild, the Church of Sanctuary can not only exist in the world aboveboard, and promote the faith and glory of God, but also directly exert its influence in various fields to expand its influence and establish itself in the world civilization system. An unshakable position.

Powerful power, high status, amazing wealth, unparalleled prestige, enough to shake the influence of the world, this is the true portrayal of the Holy Church.

It is said that before 1958, the entire state of Florida belonged to the St. Augustine Parish of the Church of the Holy Church. The monks of the church built one church after another on this land, schools, and cemeteries, holding all the rights. With faith, no one can shake its position.

Later, although the church had to give up some rights due to the development of the times and the great changes in the world structure, the ownership of these lands was still firmly in their hands.

This is the origin of the Miami Sanctuary. As the headquarters of the Sanctuary Church in Florida, this diocese is quite powerful, and there are nearly 2,000 people just on the surface.

Although most of these two thousand people are priests, deacons, monks, and nuns with average strength and are mainly responsible for the work of the church, there are also choir classes, seminaries, knights, and inquisitions that specialize in evil and heresy. The powerful combat force department exists.

However, these have nothing to do with Ronin. He just came here to buy some holy water to replenish his inventory.

Holy water has a wide range of functions. It can not only restore physical strength, replenish magic power, but also heal injuries and eliminate abnormal conditions. For hunters, it is the most cost-effective recovery product. Naturally, more reserves should be made to deal with various emergencies.

However, this holy water is also in great demand within the church. The chants of the singing class, the magicians of the seminary, the apocryphal knights of the church knights, and the heretic judges of the Inquisition are all big consumers of holy water. , coupled with various ceremonies and Masses, the consumption of this holy water can be imagined.

Therefore, although the Holy Church sells holy water to the outside world, all of them are limited to purchase, and Luo Ning can't guarantee that he will be able to buy it this time.

Notre Dame Cathedral is the main church of the Diocese of Miami, and it is also a sales point for holy water. Although other churches also have holy water reserves, they are not eligible for sale. If you want to buy holy water, you can only come here.

With the financial resources of the Holy Church, the main church of this continent-level diocese will naturally not be stingy. Not only is it resplendently built, it is gorgeous and noble everywhere, but it also reveals a sacred and solemn atmosphere, just like a real picture scroll. The artistic image of the church is vividly displayed.

It's a pity that Luo Ning wasn't interested in these at all, and went directly to the holy water sales place.

The one who received him was a priest from the church. He was quite round. Although he was wearing a priest's clothes, he looked more like a businessman.

His face was full of smiles, and when he saw Ronin, he exclaimed, "Oh, Ronin, my friend, may the glory of God bless you, what do you need this time?"

"…"

Looking at the priest with the face of a profiteer in front of him, Luo Ning silently put a small box on the counter and said, "How much holy water is there on No. 10?"

"Holy Water No. 10, let me see..."

The priest took out the record book and checked it for a while, then made an apologetic look and said, "It's a pity, this month's No. 10 serial holy water is all sold out."

"sold out?"

Luo Ning frowned and asked, "Isn't it just the beginning of the month?"

The priest shook his head and smiled, and said, "It was a good month, but I don't know what happened recently. Various incidents happened frequently. Many people came to buy holy water. Collaborate, give in abundance, so...you get the idea!"

"…"

Looking at the profiteer, Luo Ning resisted the urge to draw a gun and continued to ask, "What else?"

Seeing this, the smile on the priest's face became even brighter, and he said, "The ordinary No. 10 holy water is gone, but there are ten more exquisite No. 10 holy waters. How about it, are you interested?"

"How many?"

"Three thousand dollars each!"

Luo Ning was expressionless, he pushed the box in his hand in front of him, and said coldly, "2500 pieces, that's all I have!"

"Ok…"

The priest picked up the box and shook it in his ear. Hearing the sound from inside, he smiled brightly: "Okay, who made you my Lance's friend!"

After saying that, he put the box away, took out a square box from the counter, pushed it in front of Luo Ning, and said, "Ten exquisite No. 10 series holy water, please count them, leave the counter, there will be no refund! "

Luo Ning opened the box and looked at the ten "exquisite" No. 10 holy waters that were no different from ordinary No. 10 holy water. He only had one thought in his mind, that is, to pull out a gun and let the profiteer in front of him see his brain.

Luo Ning's killing intent was fierce, but Lance didn't care, and still said: "Don't look so ugly, you are already very lucky, if you come a little later, maybe you won't even have these ten holy waters."

Luo Ning glanced at him, then didn't say anything, put away the box of holy water, turned around and was about to leave.

"etc!"

At this moment, Lance stopped Ronin and said, "I have a mission here, I don't know if you are interested."

"I have no interest in the commission of profiteers!"

"Ten No. 9 holy waters!"

"…"

Luo Ning stopped, turned around, and asked blankly, "What mission?"

Lance smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I received news this morning that two colleagues from the church had an accident and went to bathe in God's glory ahead of time, so I want you to bring their bodies back, by the way. Investigate their cause of death."

Luo Ning frowned and asked, "What accident caused the cultivators of the two churches to die for no reason?"

Lance shrugged and said, "It is said that a girl was possessed by a demon. The two of them went to exorcise the demon, but an accident happened. One suffered a heart attack, the other jumped from the stairs, and they all died."

Hearing this, Luo Ning's brows furrowed even more: "Demon?"

"probably!"

Lance nodded and said: "But you don't need to worry too much, one of the two is too old and has a bad heart, and the other is drinking all day, mentally chaotic, and exorcising an accident. It's normal, you Just help me bring the corpse back and go to the house where they died to see if there are any clues, it may not meet the demon."

Luo Ning sneered and asked, "It's so simple why don't you go?"

"I don't have other jobs here."

Lance smiled shyly and continued: "This task shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? Holy water of the ninth sequence, but something that money can't buy, don't you like it?"

Luo Ning saw through his thoughts at a glance, but he didn't expose it. He just asked, "What about the rest of the church, they won't ask you to deal with that demon alone?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes!"

Lance smiled embarrassedly and said: "There have been frequent incidents recently, and the church's manpower is seriously insufficient, and there is really no way to transfer it to other places, so... In this way, I will add twenty No. 10 holy water, see if you can do it. ?"

Luo Ning was expressionless: "A devil, this reward is not enough!"

"To be precise, it's just a possessed demon!"

Seeing Luo Ning's unmoved appearance, Lance had no choice but to take out a long silver box from under the counter with a face full of helplessness and pushed it in front of Luo Ning, saying: " This one can deal with it!"

"Ok…"

When Luo Ning opened the box, he saw a dagger lying quietly in the box, shining with a faint divine brilliance.

Templar Blade

Equipment quality: dark blue

Equipment Type: Dagger

Equipment Materials: Steel, Silver, Divine Power

Equipment special effect: holy blade (this dagger contains a lot of holy power, which can cause huge damage to demons)

Introduction: The special weapon made by the Sanctuary is specially used for hunting demons, but due to the material problem, it cannot withstand the conflict between divine power and evil power, so it can only be used as a one-time item.

Looking at the dagger in the box, Luo Ning was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Only one?"

These words made Langston's eyes widen, and he continued, "What do you think this is, it would be nice to have one!"

Luo Ning ignored him and said directly: "I want holy water now. If I kill that demon, no matter if it is used or not, this weapon will be mine, and the other spoils will also be mine."

"you…"

Facing Ronin's machete, Lance finally felt the feeling of being slaughtered, but he couldn't refuse, he could only grit his teeth and agreed: "Yes, but you must bring back the bodies of my two colleagues. ."

"no problem!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Then may I ask our firm to handle this entrustment?"

"Ok…"

Lance frowned. He didn't understand why Ronin asked such a question, but he nodded and agreed: "Of course, why else would we waste so much time?"
