Chapter 174: Artifact? The Secret of the Dawn Church
Behind Deya, elegantly decorated coffins are placed in this sacred hall.

Those lying in the coffins are all the "saints" of the Dawn Church over the past hundreds of years.

The so-called "saints" are not those with great strength or status, but are titles awarded to those who have made great contributions to the church or have noble character.

The most famous among these people is naturally King Inglour, who personally led the army to capture the Darkmoon Cathedral and destroy the Darkmoon Church 700 years ago.

This king was not the first king of England. England was founded much earlier than Susaitani and has a history of more than a thousand years.

Theoretically, the Kingdom of Anglo-Saxon should have detailed historical records of its own country, but the fact is that all the history from thousands of years ago has been lost.

After conquering the Golden City, Deya immediately went to the library and archives to look up the history from a thousand years ago.

Because in the information Deya knew, whether among the people or in Susetani, he had not found any records related to the history of thousands of years ago.

At first, Deya thought that it was because Sussetani itself did not have enough history, or that the history was taboo, so he could not find it.

But now he still can't find any historical records from thousands of years ago in the capital of England, so there is definitely a big problem.

“The teacher also said that he was also looking for this lost history.

Even a nine-ringed master like my teacher, or even someone who can freely enter and exit the Narpo Empire Archives, can't find it. I think it's a pipe dream to find the secret easily."

The puppet girl sitting in the air glanced at Deya, she stroked her chin with her hand and said: "Well, the history of a thousand years ago has been lost, there is only one possibility."

Before Patricia could say more, Deya interrupted and said, "It can only be that the Nine Righteous Gods took the initiative to erase this history. Only the legendary gods can do this."

Anyone with a common sense could guess that Deya's teacher, Master Irwin, wanted to break through the fog set by the gods and find the secret past buried by them.

One thousand years, this is a very wonderful number.

According to known records, except for a very small number of creatures, such as dragons, no creature can live more than a thousand years. Even a nine-ring wizard or even a long-lived elf cannot break the limit of lifespan no matter how hard they try.

I'm afraid only a true god can live for thousands of years and achieve immortality.

The nine righteous gods set the fog of history to a period of one thousand years, which was just enough to completely isolate a generation and hide the secrets they wanted to hide forever.

Patricia was also very interested in that lost history. She said, "Maybe when you become stronger and can help me recover more of my memories, I can tell you what the real history is."

Deya thought so too. Patricia was the only person Deya knew who could explore this lost history.

So what he had to do was very simple, that was to work hard to improve his own strength so that Patricia's strength could also improve along with his own, so as to recall her hazy memories.

Deya walked up to the coffin that Patricia had pointed out.

The Five-Ring Deya is an undead creature with five heroic templates.

The most powerful of them is naturally the Eight-Ringed Death Dragon, but this undead creature is temporarily in the sealing stage because it missed 900 years of time.

Deya has a vague connection with the Dragon of Death. This undead creature is extremely powerful, but at the same time it is rather troublesome to unlock its seal.

Especially since the seal location was too far away, Deya's instinct told him that only after he reached the sixth ring would he have a chance to lift the seal.

Except for the Deathly Dragon, among the remaining four undead creatures, only the Ringwraith Knight is six rings, and the others are seven rings.

The reason why Deya did not replace this six-ring undead creature was because the Cavalier profession was too important.

The various halos it possesses can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the military group.

It is very effective against both undead creatures and human armies.

Therefore, even though De Ya had the opportunity to replace it before, he never did so and kept it.

Now, Deja finally has a chance to replace him, and he naturally won't give up.

"Anyway, thank you, Your Majesty, for your father's outstanding contribution to me. If your father wasn't too weak now, I really wouldn't want to give it up."

Deya sighed, he was actually a nostalgic person, this Ringwraith Knight was the undead creature that had accompanied Deya for the longest time, and now he had to replace it, he was really a little reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant he was, Deya directly terminated the contract with the Ringwraith Knight in order to improve his own strength.

[You terminated the contract with King Susetani]

Next to Deya, the hooded, ghostly Ringwraith Knight let out a sigh of relief, then turned into a piece of black sand and disappeared.

As a dead person, he was forcibly called back from the kingdom of death by Deya, and worked for him in vain for so long, and now he is finally liberated.

Then, Deya prepared the 'Ceremony of Resurrection of the Dead'. During his ceremony, a cold wind blew through this sacred temple where many saints were buried.

A dark moon suddenly appeared in the church, and the coffin in front of Deya made a noise.

The heavy coffin was slowly pushed open from the inside, and a ghost knight who looked the same as the previous Ringwraith Knight appeared in front of Deya.

[Ring of the Ring: King Inglor]

[Level: 71 (Seventh Ring)]

[Skills: King's Majesty, Ghost Form (Passive), Deterrence (Passive), Summon Guards, Bravery Aura, Thorn Aura, etc.]

[Brave Aura: Under the leadership of the Ringwraith Knights, the attack power of the Undead Legion has been improved]

[Aura of Thorns: Under the leadership of the Ringwraith Knights, any attack on undead creatures will have a certain anti-damage effect]

"..."

Compared with the previous Ringwraith Knight, this new Ringwraith Knight has made great improvements in both strength and skills.

Although the enhancement of these two halos is not high, their range is extremely wide. Any undead creature commanded by a Ringwraith Knight will be blessed by the halo.

This is the strength of the Cavalry General profession.

If it is a human cavalry general, he can even use the effect of the halo to boost the morale of the human army, allowing the army to fight bravely and fearlessly.

The office area of ​​the Patriarch of the Dawn Church has now been completely occupied by Deya.

He looked through various files and was familiar with many secrets of the Kingdom of Inglo.

"England's Glorious Fleet has also been dispatched. This fleet has gone deep into the ocean and its exact location is currently unknown." In one of the files, Deya saw the dispatch report of the England fleet.

This fleet has two functions. If Sussetani shows signs of fatigue, the fleet will immediately launch an attack on the Hudson family.

If the Patriarch is trapped in the heart of Sussetani, the fleet must find a way to support and rescue the Patriarch.

"It seems that the Patriarch is not completely desperate. He has left himself a way out."

In addition to the various documents issued recently, Deya also began to look through many ancient documents.

Although these documents only contain records from the last thousand years, many of the contents are also secrets of the Church of Dawn.

“Seven hundred to one thousand years ago, the Goddess of Dawn performed a miracle every ten years. However, starting eight hundred years ago, there was a fifty-year interval between the performance of a miracle.

And according to the records of the Dawn Church, there was once a forbidden artifact in the church called the 'Dawn Ring', but that forbidden artifact disappeared seven hundred years ago."

An old scroll records the rare items once owned by the Church of Dawn.

The scroll also depicted the appearance of the strange object, which was an object similar to the holy emblem of the Church of Dawn. In the middle was a head whose face could not be seen clearly, and five flowers of dawn surrounded the head.

According to records, this forbidden artifact has the ability to heal all wounds. Every year, the Church of Dawn holds a mass to heal devout believers.

"This is a good way to gain faith, but it's a pity that this forbidden artifact is missing."

Deya shook his head.

In addition, the Church of Dawn has also conducted research on similar curses between races, as well as the whereabouts of races such as the elves and dwarves.

However, none of these studies have yielded any results, mainly because this continental island is too closed and the faith of the Dawn Church can only be spread on this continental island.

I don't know much about what's happening outside the mainland.

Secondly, there are some ciphertexts that would definitely cause a stir if they were made public.

For example, how the Garcia family conspired to rebel and took down the former King of England, allowing England to integrate politics and religion. Since then, the Garcia family has been in charge of various measures and conspiracies of the Dawn Church.

More importantly, there is also a secret document written by the current patriarch himself, which is stored as a state secret.

“According to various documents, I suspect that there is a sacred artifact of the Goddess of the Dawn in the Third Cathedral of Susetani. The Susetani Church used this artifact to manipulate the oracle and blasphemed the gods.

According to statistics, the number of people in England who are blessed by the goddess to become priests has been declining drastically in the past hundred years. I suspect it has something to do with the hidden artifact.

It is very likely that the Sussetani Church has gained greater control over the unknown artifact after hundreds of years of research, and it can even affect the gods' gifts to priests.

England can no longer sit there and wait for death. It must take down the Third Church and completely control the unknown artifact. Otherwise, in another hundred years, England may not have another priest. "

This cipher, written by the Patriarch of England himself, is at the very outside of the secret archives.

According to the content of this secret letter, Deya finally understood why Patriarch Inglour would lead his most elite army deep into Susetani regardless of his own safety.

Because this involves the foundation of the existence of the Kingdom of England.

“I see. This makes sense now. Since the Dawn Goddess fell seven hundred years ago, then normally it is impossible for the Dawn Priest to exist anymore.

The profession of priest is closely related to gods. Currently, except for the Goddess of Dawn, the only known priests are those in the nine orthodox churches.

So if the Goddess of Dawn has an item that was passed down after her death, and that item or artifact is the key to the goddess accepting faith and bestowing divine arts on believers..."

Deya rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

The most unfortunate thing for the Kingdom of Anglo-Iran was that the object was obtained by the Susaitani Church.

The British side had their reasons for believing that the artifact was hidden in the Third Church.

The third largest church in Sussetsane was built only about four hundred years ago. The location of this church is neither a strategic location nor has any sacred story.

But four hundred years ago, the Susetsani Church suddenly built an extremely magnificent church there, and every year the Pope of Susetsani must go to this church to hold a high mass.

It was also from the time this church was built that the Goddess of the Dawn had been sending down oracles, recognizing the legitimacy of Susaitani.

In fact, the Anglo-Catholic Church had long known that there was a problem with the Goddess, otherwise it would be impossible for the Goddess to have never performed a miracle in the past few hundred years.

However, Inglour thought that the Goddess of Dawn was injured in the confrontation with the Goddess of Dark Moon, but he did not expect that the goddess had already fallen.

All the clues point to the Third Church of Susetsani, which is why the Patriarch is so anxious.

“If in another hundred years there are no more priests in England, it means that the Church of England has completely lost its legitimacy, and this country built on faith will inevitably fall apart.

The Patriarch knew that as time went on, England would cease to exist, so he chose to fight to the death. "

Deya closed the secret document. He now understood the whole story.

In Deya's memory, the players in the game were actually on the side of England. After a long period of preparation for war, England used spies to sow discord among the people and finally took down the Kingdom of Susaitani in one fell swoop, thus unifying the continental island.

Players also have a final battle with Kirkadi II in the Third Church.

It’s just that the story in the game is too fragmented and not explained so clearly. It is very likely that the content surrounding the "artifact" will be in subsequent versions.

“But this time, Patriarch Inglo has rushed into the war without making any preparations for it. Can he still succeed?

To be more precise, without the help of the group of 'players' and the plot killing, could he really capture the third church? "

Deya is not clear about this.

When this butterfly appeared, the direction of the plot had already gone completely astray.

Not to mention that Deya is not an ordinary butterfly, he is more like a Godzilla, forcibly intervening in the plot.

Deya handed the secret document in his hand to Patricia, who was sitting in the air beside him and drinking tea: "Take a look at the contents here and see if it can remind you of anything."

Patricia put down the teacup, took the document handed to her by Deya and looked at it carefully, her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned.
