There was a small island in the heart of the Beinz Blood Lake, and it was the only island in the lake. Due to its special location, the island was regarded as a holy place in the Holy Land, and the Disciples of Glory believed it to be the goddess resting place in this world, so they built a magnificent chapel on the island as the goddess’s palace of this world.
Of course, such a holy place was usually heavily guarded. A circle of the most powerful knights of the Disciples of Glory stationed at the outer rim of the small island, it was almost impossible to walk into the area right under their noses, probably Vivian could not hide from those church knights even with her nocturnal occult ability. However, Hao Ren had another plan.
There was a dent on the shore of the Blood Lake which was a great shelter from sight. Hao Ren led his own gang of tenants sneak up to this point, and then took out the Mobile Data Terminal and said, "You fly to the church first, then send us in after you make sure that there’s no one inside. Be careful, don’t let anyone find out."
"What if I’m beaten down?"
"You can rest assured that I will apply for a new one from Raven 12345," Hao Ren said.
"The heck!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and glanced at the Mobile Data Terminal and said, "Because I firmly believe that you surely won’t be beaten down, hurry up, stop dawdling."
The Mobile Data Terminal shook its body in the air provocatively, then unwillingly turned off its lights and flew rapidly to the small island in the heart of the lake under the shadow of night.
According to the information they got earlier, although the small island in the lake was heavily armed, only the central chapel was unmanned. The chapel was almost always sealed as a forbidden place. It only opened two times a year, which were, every year when the annual tour of the Orb reached here, the door would be opened to welcome the Orb; and when it left. Since Pope Anthony III released a new interpretation of the Holy Scriptures hundreds of years ago, the chapel had banned the majority of people from entering. Only certain situations which allowed certain people to enter the chapel: when the Orb arrived, four of the nameless monks entered the front room of the chapel together as the guardian of the Orb of the Holy Synod and they could stay there for four days; the Pope of the Disciples of Glory could use divine power to determine his own date of death, and they delivered the position to his successor one month before death and then spent the last one month of his life in the chapel; a special friar who was always wearing a robe, no one knew his identity and his name, and this friar could enter through the back door of the chapel every significant month on the full moon night and was responsible for hygiene and other chores. Other than these, even the King of Holletta was also not allowed to visit the chapel.
The extremely strict practice of the Disciples of Glory in these religious regulations gave Hao Ren the opportunity to take advantage of them instead. The Orb of the Holy Synod was not in the chapel now, and the pope was not going to die anytime soon, and tonight was not a full moon night, therefore, there was no one in the chapel.
While waiting for the message of Mobile Data Terminal, Vivian could not help but look at Lily and asked, "Do you really have to dress up like this?"
Lily was covered with black clothes from head to toe. She was even wearing a black mask which only revealing her eyes, looked like the superwoman who was ready to break into the Forbidden City. When she heard Vivian’s words, she tossed her head at once and said, "Humph, you don’t understand, this is called professionalism. How do I carry out a covert action without wearing a night coat?"
Vivian pointed to Lily’s silvery polished tail and ears and said, "You keep these stuff first."
Lily continued to fling her head and replied, "No, this is the pride of a werewolf."
Hao Ren thought the biggest variable of the action tonight was the husky, whose brain was often not on the normal track. But it did not really matter. If there was any emergency happened, he could throw Lily out. The huge movement of the canine was very good in distracting attention.
"Why do we have to bring Lil Pea along?" Vivian asked and looked at the little mermaid hanging on Hao Ren’s arm. "And you even left her kettle in the room."
"I feel worried," said Hao Ren while poking at the baby fish who was sticking to his arm like an armband. "Without the toy, the little mermaid will scare easily, and you did see her gnawing the table in the house. I don’t dare to let this little mermaid out of my sight. That Hilda seems like losing her soul. I don’t believe she can help us to take care of Lil Pea."
At this moment, there was a slight gust of wind in the night sky. The Mobile Data Terminal appeared ghostly in the dim light of night. "There is no one in the chapel. It’s quiet all around. Let’s go."
Their shadows were twisted, and the next moment they were teleported to the chapel in the small island of the lake.
The sacred lake island was still quiet, and the church knights stationed around the island did not aware that their holy place had been invaded by outsiders. However, there was something that they were not clear, that was, although the chapel in the middle of the lake was unguarded, the chapel itself was defensive. Every corner of the chapel was covered with the defenses and alarms left by the past popes. Unless it was a licensed visitor or a high-rank member of the church who shut down the chapel’s defenses from a covert path, any reckless intruder will be ruthlessly attacked by countless divine defenses.
This was why the Disciple of Glory would trustingly let their highest forbidden place in the ‘unattended’ state.
But tonight, when they broke into the chapel, all the defenses and alarms were quiet as if they were asleep.
The bright twin moonlights shone through the small chapel’s high and narrow stained glass window into the chapel, making the situation inside the chapel clearly visible. They quickly got out of the short vertigo of the teleportation and observed everything here curiously.
Like the chapel in other places, the antechapel was simply furnished. There was no bench or cushion for people to rest. Although the chapel looked magnificent, the antechapel was very simple. The most luxurious part was at the end of the antechapel, where there was a small altar that symbolized the place where the goddess set foot on. It was made of the most expensive shining crystals and was placed on a huge black obsidian slate. The small altar was also furnished with a variety of exquisite instruments that symbolized goddess authority, and that made it look like a throne.
Not far from the small altar, Hao Ren saw that a part of the ground there was sunken.
"This should be where the Orb of the Holy Synod was placed," Vivian said and came to the sunken ground, bent down and touched the fracture surface which was a smooth as a razor. "It was said that there was a raised platform here, but it looked as if it had been moved along with the Orb, and also a part of the floor was gone."
Lily cleverly looked around and observed, and suddenly looked up and said, "Ah, and also a part of the ceiling!"
Along the direction of Lily’s fingers, they saw that a circular area of the ceiling of the antechapel was neatly dug out, and it corresponded to the sunken floor below.
Vivian nodded and said, "It’s indeed via teleportation, but it’s a very primitive and brutal one. There’s no specified teleportation target, but teleported everything directly within the range." While speaking, she moved a few meters away, inspected the concave area of the floor and ceiling and said, "It should be a spheroid space bubble with a radius of five or six meters, not spherical."
"Is it man-made or natural?" Hao Ren was very concerned about this.
"Don’t know, it happened two months ago, even if there were man-made magic fluctuation it should have already dissipated." Vivian shook her head, looked around and continued speaking, "It looks like they still retain the condition when the day the Orb was missing. Probably they want to preserve the scene."
Lily squatted down and habitually sniffed the smell of the ground, but she shook her head in bewilderment and said, "It’s weird, just the smell of cloth, it doesn’t seem to..."
Nangong Wuyue kindly reminded her, "You’re still wearing a mask..."
Lily, "... Oh."
And now Hao Ren came to the magnificent altar. His attention was drawn to the mural behind the altar.
This was the kind of strange mural he saw in the chapel of the mountain people. The strange color of black and red intertwined, accompanied by mysterious radiance.
It seemed that all churches of the Disciples of Glory were decorated with such thing. But what did it mean?
Hao Ren stared at the mural for a moment, felt that those black and red bands were moving slowly, but whenever he focused on the colors that seemed to be fluttering, they went back to where they were, or maybe they actually had never moved. He did not understand why such an unknown meaning stuff was placed in the chapel. This should be the area that placed the Goddess’s icon or other religious totems.
And he also vaguely remembered the kind of mural he saw in the chapel of mountain people, and this one did not look quite the same as that one.
