Chapter 75: Shock
After the golden beam of light rushed into the sky, it was like a hole in the sky. I saw the raging holy fire pouring down along the beam of light, like a river of water falling into the water and rolling.
The pouring down holy flame met the blasphemous atmosphere above the manor, and it was like pouring a ladle of water into a pot of boiling oil, and it boiled wildly; Over and over; it was more like a massive explosion of gunpowder that exploded into a mushroom cloud in an instant.
If the previous golden light was just extraordinary, the explosion at this moment is earth-shattering.
The first shock wave of the explosion razed the huge manor to the ground, and then the violent wind and flames that followed, directly turned a forest into a sea of fire.
This fire is not ordinary fire, but the fire of divine punishment that contains divine power. Even those demons who are completely immune to flames will be burnt to the ground when they encounter this kind of fire of heaven's punishment, or they will simply be burned into a pile of ashes.
In the face of the terrifying explosion and the fire of punishment that followed, whether it was a warrior in heavy armor, a priest with a variety of protective spells, or even the evil stronghold they painstakingly built, they were completely vulnerable. Except for the one who saw the opportunity quickly, not only retreated to the back, but also found a depression to lie in, all the others were reduced to ashes in the explosion and flames.
In the entire manor, the only survivor was the clever priest. She first lied on the ground to avoid the shock wave of the explosion, then quickly got up, took off the priest's robe with strong defense power, and threw away all the magic props, not even the underwear and jewelry. These treasures, which I don't know how much thought and time and energy I have accumulated, are thrown on the ground like clay tiles, and they run towards the distance naked.
Strange to say, although she took off all the equipment that could be used to protect herself, the fire of punishment did not burn her, so she left so naked and ran away without looking back.
Obviously, she knew how powerful Panda's move was, and even knew the correct way to deal with it.
After running for at least two or three miles in one breath, she felt the heavy weight on her heart, as if the fear of a mountain hanging over her head that could be pressed down at any time completely dissipated, and she was relieved, sitting on the ground and breathing heavily.
"Damn it! Where did the legendary paladin come from! If you can't beat it, just play 'God's Wrath', can't you just escape honestly? The world is so big, can't we all go our separate ways!"
She angrily pounded the ground with her fists, cursing in vain.
"This old man! He's so old that he doesn't even have the strength to fight, and his head is full of righteous fanaticism! Paladins are all lunatics! To let such an old man act alone, aren't you afraid that he will die outside?"
"...Wait, if he died like this, the Church of the Suffering God will definitely not be unresponsive. A legendary paladin like this who is so old that his strength has declined, he doesn't know how many students he has taught in his life. He died suddenly, Surely his students will track it down...would there be a swarm of priests and paladins swarming around like mad dogs for clues?"
She pondered worriedly: "Should I go out and hide? The Tarakhan family won't run away anyway, and you can do anything to get revenge on them. But if you are caught by those priests and paladins. , it's completely over..."
Thinking of this, she hurriedly stood up and walked away from Tarakhan City.
The huge explosion in the forest, of course, also alerted the guards of Tarakhan City. They looked at each other in panic, not knowing what to do.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Want to take a look?"
Immediately, a small leader scolded: "Don't think about it! Our duty is to guard the city gate! Even if the sky is torn apart, we must stick to our posts!"
The man was still a little ignorant before, and he didn't understand why his captain suddenly became so upright and awe-inspiring, and was immediately pulled aside by his clever companions, and whispered: "You are crazy! Such a terrifying explosion, God knows what happened! We These little people, if they break into it casually, isn't that courting death!"
The news of the explosion was quickly sent to Earl Tarakhan's bedroom. The old earl was already old, and his spirit was far from his youth. He forced his tired body to get up and deal with this urgent matter.
"There was a big explosion in the forest leading to the capital. It is suspected that a paladin summoned 'God's Scourge'?"
He stood looking at the information, and then looked at the intelligence director who sent the information, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "As far as I know, 'God's Wrath' is the ability of the legendary paladin, when faced with irresistible When they are evil, they will choose to sacrifice themselves and turn into a beam of light that communicates with the sky, introducing the majestic divine power directly into the world to sweep away all evil. In the past years, there have been more than one great paladins fighting against demons, evil dragons or Used this ability when the terrifying evil demon, right?"
The intelligence director nodded again and again: "Sir, you are really knowledgeable!"
"Then I have a question, when did we Tara Khan lead a legendary paladin?"
The intelligence director replied with a bitter face: "Sorry, we didn't find out at all before..."
"That is to say, this... I don't know which church he is. Anyway, it must be a legendary paladin at the top of the church. He came to Tarakhan Land without you knowing it at all, and is still so far away from Tarakhan City. There was a fight with a guy who didn't know what it was, but it must be super dangerous and terrifying, and finally used 'God's Retribution'... And during the whole process, you were completely unaware?"
The weather in late autumn was already cold, but there were beads of sweat on the forehead of the intelligence chief.
The magic lamp used for lighting illuminated the bedroom brightly, but it couldn't illuminate the gloomy face of the old earl: "I know, in recent years, my body has been getting worse and worse. In this case, you all start Changing who I serve...I don't have a problem with that, it was pretty much the same way when my father was old."
"However, if this hinders the work of the Tarakhan collar and puts the territory in crisis..."
His eyes were gloomy and cold, and he didn't say any more.
The intelligence chief couldn't stand any longer, knelt directly on the ground and hugged the old earl's feet: "My lord! My lord! Please give me a little time! Just a little time! Five days... no, three days at most. , I'll investigate everything! If I can't hand over the investigation report by then, I'll take my head to account!"
The old earl's eyes were a little less cold. He didn't kick the intelligence chief away, but after a moment of silence, he said heavily: "Three days."
"Yes! Three days! I promise!" The intelligence director's head was knocked like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance." The old earl nodded, "Go ahead."
The intelligence director hurriedly got up, thanked him repeatedly, walked backwards out of the bedroom, and then ran wildly, doing his best to run towards the direction of the intelligence department.
He has no time to delay now. He has to find out everything in three days. God knows if it is enough!
Watching the intelligence chief walk away, the old earl sat back in his chair.
"Check it out, what is he busy with during this time." He said to the empty bedroom, "I suspect that someone is disrupting the territory's intelligence system."
"Is this part of the contract?" A sharp voice answered in the darkness in the corner of the bedroom.
"Yes, do it."
In the darkness, something seemed to be fleeting.
