Hail the King

Chapter 466: The Corrupt Church

Alan was the weakest Holy Knight in the group, and the other people in the group didn’t value him. Therefore, he was in a similarly awkward situation as Jessie. However, he was smart and kept a low-profile. He wasn’t a bad person, so he came over to point it out for Jessie when this young Priest was in an embarrassing situation.

After Alan said that to Jessie, he also walked out of this building.

The young Priest named Jessie sighed and shook his head at this empty building. As if he was displeased by something, he murmured to himself, “There are multiple possibilities if Crystal Eyes couldn’t locate them. There could be a more powerful Undead Mage shielding them, and they could be inside a cemetery that is more than 1,000 years old; the thick Death Energy in such locations could cover up their auras…… After all, there could be many scenarios. But you guys could only think about the surface matter? Embarrass him? Would I do that? Boring……”

A strange smile appeared on this young Priest’s face as he walked out as well.

As the moonlight shined on the ground, a series of footsteps sounded.

Jessie looked in the direction of the noise and saw a few Holy Knight Apprentices and Priests-In-Training of the church in Dual-Flags City walking over with more than a dozen pretty girls who were in white dresses. Most of these girls were about 18 years old, and they looked holy and saint. Some of the girls seemed surprised and hopeful, and some of them had tears in their eyes as they looked helpless.

“What is going on?” Jessie stopped them and asked.

A Holy Knight Apprentice quickly ran over and said with a fluttering smile on his face, “Sir, they are the virgins in the Choir. They are here to help masters like yourself in the Execution Team to sleep. Hehe, I can promise you that they are all virgins!”

The other Holy Knight Apprentices and Priests-In-Training also smiled and flattered. Although this young Priest Jessie only had a low-position in the Execution Team, he was looked up to by these people in this church.

“Virgins from the Choir? Sleep with us?” Jessie couldn’t believe his ears.

Although he had heard rumors where influential figures in the Holy Church were summoning virgins from the Choirs, he didn’t believe it; he thought it was just dirt that the enemies of the Holy Church threw. Now, he encountered such a thing himself……

“How could such a thing occur in the Holy Church? The virgins in the Choirs might become the Saintess who is destined to serve the gods, how could the mortals stain them?” Jessie couldn’t believe it.

“How dare you! Reckless……” a huge power sensation appeared from this young Priest’ body as he shouted, “Who? Who dared to ask for virgins in the Choir to sleep with them? You are shaming the God! Go away! Do you want to be hung?”

The Holy Knight Apprentices and Priests-In-Training were terrified as if it was doomsday. They wanted to please these people from the Holy Mountain, but it seemed like they did the wrong thing.

Jessie was furious, but he felt helpless as well.

He saw that some of the girls from the Choir were disappointed by his order, and they looked at him with resentment in their eyes before they left. It felt like they thought this young Priest took away their opportunity.

“Women like these are even worse than prostitutes. How are they qualified to join the pure Choir? God! Is the Holy Church this corrupt? How can this be! The glory of the God is stained! God! Please punish these fake followers!” the young Priest prayed.

He knew that someone in the Execution Team must have ordered the people in this church to do this. Otherwise, the people here won’t be daring enough to do something like this……

Also, it seemed like Red-Robed Deacon Pellegrini permitted this to happen, and it made Jessie even madder.

“The most important matter at the moment is to help Arthur and me to recover our strength. If the people of the Holy Church discover us, they will start chasing again,” Hazel Bank said to Fei as he sat on the other side.

The intense atmosphere in the palace was gone, and this Undead Mage and the King were discussing the next steps while Arthur already downed seven bottles of wine by the crackling campfire.

“Do you have a way of healing up?” Fei asked. After hearing what Hazel Bank had said, Fei knew that this Undead Mage and his Undead Bone Dragon had only a tiny bit of strengths compared to their primes. They were currently about level 3 mid-tier New Moon Elites; if they weren’t healed in time, their strengths would decrease even more.

“That is why Arthur and I are here. The Mythical Gate that only opens once in 50 years is opening the day after tomorrow. There are multiple mystic locations in the Mythical Palace, and we could potentially find a way to heal up in there,” Hazel Bank said.

It seemed like this Undead Mage didn’t know too much about the Mythical Palace; he was only hoping that his injuries could be cured.

However, Fei was very interested in the Mythical Palace. He asked in excitement, “Mythical Palace? Where is that? Sounds mysterious…… Is it a Mythical Ruins?”

“Yeah, it is a Mythical Ruins; a special Mythical Ruins. It is located in the underground ocean below Dual-Flags City. It was heard that it was the Palace of the Sea God that belonged to the Sea Tribe which ruled the sea and followed the Demons when the battle broke out between the Gods and the Demons. After that war was over, the ocean sunk into the ground, and somehow soil, sand, and stone covered it up. 500 years ago, this Mythical Ruins was discovered by a master, and it attracted the attention of all the influential figure on the continent. Many people thought that it could be counted as a level 6 Mythical Ruins, and it should be enough to create a brand-new level 6 empire. However, after people went in, they realized that all the treasures and technique scrolls were all gone. In addition, there were dangers everywhere in this Mythical Ruins! All the magic traps and killing mechanisms of the Sea Tribe were well-kept, and even a Sun-Class Lord might die in there.”

Fei finally had an idea of the origin of the structures at the bottom of the underground ocean.

After years of useless explorations, ten Sun-Class Lords made a joint declaration. They stated that there weren’t treasures in this Mythical Ruins, and they recommended others not to explore it anymore due to the hidden dangers.

However, some of the magic traps and killing mechanisms were from the ancient time. It was a great place to train and practice, so warriors and mages who were at a threshold would come here when the Mythical Gate opens. Some cultivators would advance, and some people would try out their luck as well. Also, some mages and assassins would come here to study the magic traps and killing mechanisms. Unfortunately, the essence of those traps was long lost in history, and many people speculated that the natural laws in this world changed after the war between the Gods and Demons, so the theories and knowledge powering these traps and mechanisms were no longer applicable.

As time passed by, this Mythical Ruins that once made a lot of people go crazy got ignored by most of the people. Since there weren’t many treasures, the influential figures and powerful empires were no longer interested in it.

Of course, this information was only circulating in the small master cultivator circle, and ordinary people didn’t know about it.

Hazel Bank had been to the Mythical Palace three times, and he got nothing. He came here this time again because he had no other choices to heal up. The worst scenario would be that the traps in the Mythical Palace killed him; at least he won’t die in the hands of the hypocrites of the Holy Church.

Fei was speechless after hearing everything.

“So many people know about the structures at the bottom of the underground ocean……” Fei thought. He was hoping that he could get even richer by exploring this Mythical Ruins on his own. But since even Sun-Class Lords couldn’t find anything, Fei dropped all of his hopes.

“Since you entered the Mythical Palace before, have you seen an altar that is more than 1,000 meters tall in there?” Fei asked as he described the shape and the look of the Mythical Altar. Only this Mythical Altar could purify the stained [Worldstone], and finding it to save the two girls was Fei’s primary objective.

“No,” the Undead Mage shook his head and said after a moment of thinking, “I have never seen such a thing like that.”
