Chapter 344
Chapter 344
After confirming that Alessa had taken the children to a safe place, Qin Chuan followed the shadow and looked at Beli City, ready to see what the situation was like in this city ten thousand years ago.
Combining what he had seen and heard in the past two days, Qin Chuan felt that the situation would not be too optimistic.
The monster evolved from the Black Death was definitely not something that ordinary people could fight against.
Moreover, the Black Death was highly contagious. Even if the church was stationed in Beli City, and the thick walls protected it, it could only protect itself.
While thinking, the walls of Beli City appeared in sight again.
Unlike ten thousand years later, the scale of Beli City at this time was two circles smaller, and the walls had shrunk a lot. The soldiers on guard on the walls were not very energetic. Rather than soldiers, they were farmers with temporary signs.
"Is the defense of Beli City so bad?"
Qin Chuan frowned slightly.
Where did the armed forces of the church go?
"..."
Qin Chuan suddenly thought that he had just killed a group of church troops. Could that be the entire force of the church?
If so, it would be too fucked up.
Just as Qin Chuan was thinking secretly, he heard the militia patrolling on the city wall cursing in a low voice.
"That bunch of greedy nobles actually transferred the guards to guard their own manors outside the city. At this time, they are still thinking about property."
"Isn't it? The manors outside the city have no high walls to protect them, and there is no blessing from the bishop. Those monsters can easily attack them. When the time comes, none of them can come back."
"Hmph, those officers are not good people either. It is their duty to protect the city of Beli, but they are willing to be the running dogs of the nobles. They send soldiers out after receiving money. They don't even think about what the use of more money is if Beli falls."
"What's the use of saying this? Let's pray that we don't encounter monsters. As long as we complete the three-day night watch mission, we won't be called up for the next month."
"God of Light, please protect your people."
"God of Light."
Several militiamen muttered as they went to the next section of the city wall.
Qin Chuan looked at the backs of several people, but he suddenly realized.
No wonder the defense of Beli City is so weak. It turns out that the soldiers were transferred away.
Should he praise those nobles for their courage to protect their property, or scold them for not knowing when they were about to die?
These militiamen knew that only by defending the city of Beli could there be a future, but those nobles did not understand and still colluded with officers to send soldiers.
"... something is wrong."
Qin Chuan's eyes flickered.
If the nobles were full of fat and could not think, it would be fine, but why didn't the bishop in the city stop them.
The church did not have a manor outside the city, and they could not let the soldiers leave.
Of course, this is not to say that the church is selfless, but that they have an easier way to make money.
Those fanatical believers will make donations voluntarily, plus tithes, money will continue to gather like a stream, and there is no need to work hard to farm.
Qin Chuan felt that there was something wrong.
It seems that the nobles and even the church here do not care whether the city of Beli will be breached.
It can even be said that they seem to be looking forward to the fall of the city of Beli.
An idea emerged in Qin Chuan's mind.
Could it be that the bishop of Beli City was also infected by the Black Death?
This is possible, but other reasons cannot be ruled out.
Retracting his thoughts, Qin Chuan sneaked all the way to the bottom of the city wall, and jumped onto the several-meter-high city wall with a light jump. After a few more ups and downs, he had already arrived in Beli City.
With nearly 40,000 points of agility, plus three-dimensional attributes that all exceeded 10,000, let alone the several-meter-high city wall, even if it was more than ten meters higher, he could easily climb over it.
"Let's go and see the situation of the church first."
Qin Chuan made a decision.
He just carefully sensed it and found that there was a smell that disgusted him in the central area of the city.
Very subtle.
There is no doubt that it is the Black Death.
And the central area of the city is where the church is located!
...
The layout of Beli City ten thousand years ago is somewhat different from that ten thousand years later.
The central area is no longer an empty teleportation square, but a slightly old church.
However, it can be seen that the church members here have tried their best to maintain the dignity of the church, but the traces of time are still inevitable.
Of course, the main reason is poverty.
Look, the missionaries' robes are all worn out, which is unimaginable in other places.
At this time, a large number of people gathered in the square outside the church, all bowed their heads and closed their eyes to pray, muttering various prayers, hoping that the gods can protect them.
Qin Chuan looked up at the sky.
What are you praying for in the middle of the night?
Don't you believe in the God of Light? If you don't knowI thought you believed in the Lady of the Night.
Just as Qin Chuan was secretly complaining, the church door opened, and the bishop, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came to the crowd surrounded by priests.
The people were a little excited, but they didn't make too much noise. They just looked at the bishop with eager eyes, hoping that he could guide the confused believers present.
The bishop was already accustomed to this kind of scene, and a few words made the people cheer.
Qin Chuan looked at the bishop, wondering whether to kill him.
He could feel the extremely strong and decadent smell of the bishop.
The degree of infection of the other party by the Black Death was far beyond Alessa.
To be honest, Qin Chuan was surprised how the bishop maintained his current posture. With this degree of infection, he should have turned into a monster who lost his mind long ago.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a bishop, and he is really good.
After confirming that there was something wrong with the bishop, Qin Chuan looked at the priests and the Knights Templar next to him, and couldn't help but be more surprised.
My goodness, this is not a church, it's clearly a devil's den!
Whether it's a priest or a Templar, they all have an aura that Qin Chuan hates.
These people, without exception, are all infected with the Black Death!
Qin Chuan suddenly had an idea.
The church wants to burn Alessa and other people infected with the Black Death to death, perhaps not only to prevent the spread of the Black Death, but also to cover up their own situation.
After all, as infected people, there may be some induction. If someone shouts that the bishop is infected, it will not be fun.
Perhaps most believers will not believe it, but as long as there is at least suspicion, it will bring unpredictable results, which is obviously unacceptable to the bishops.
But Qin Chuan is still a little curious. The gods of this era should not be silent. The bishops under their command are infected with the Black Death, and the gods should be able to sense it.
Even if they don't want to send down divine power to treat them, they can send down an oracle to exile them. Why do they let the other party continue to serve as bishops?
Qin Chuan feels that he has found a blind spot.
There is only one answer.
God did not find out that his bishop was infected by the Black Death.
It is an incredible answer, but after excluding other possibilities, the remaining answer is the truth.
