Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 97
The church was supposed to be brightly lit. Even if it was not dazzling, it should at least be clean. But now, it was pitch black.
Xu Jun closed the door as soon as he entered. Now, there was only a dim light coming in from the high side windows on the walls.
Xu Jun looked down and saw that he was stepping on someone's arm. It looked a bit like the arm of a model in a shop.
It was broken at the elbow. Xu Jun had stepped on the "palm" when he fell. He did not know what happened, but the bones in the arm were no longer there. It was soft. As soon as he stepped on it, he heard the sound of air bubbles popping. A few long-tailed white maggots crawled out of the broken limb.
Xu Jun was speechless.
Was this really a church?!
This was worse than a mass grave!!!
To be honest, before entering the church, he had thought about it.
If the Pope had indeed gone astray and started to believe in a cult, then Xu Jun would have plunged headfirst into the cult's propaganda nest. He guessed that he would see a crazy Bishop next. And Mayor Newt, who had come to the church early in the morning, would probably be in trouble. This was also why he did not tell Irene and Cole his intentions for coming to the church. He did not know what would happen to Mayor Newt, and it would not do him any good to worry the siblings.
After all, now was not the time to be safe. There was no time for the siblings to worry about their father.
And if they got into a fight and wanted to come to the church to look for their father, Xu Jun would only be in more trouble.
It occurred to Xu Jun that the archbishop might have already controlled the governor of Newt. He would not kill him directly. Mundama City was neither too big nor too small. It was a medium-sized free city surrounded by many villages. Although the people in this city were not as nationalistic as those in the Golden-Flag Empire and were not as united, the rule of the Newt Family had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Mundama City. If Archbishop Carloman was smart, he would have spared the governor of Newt's life so that he could control Mundama City.
Of course, if he directly turned Mayor Newt into an undead puppet... then it would be too late.
Xu Jun thought he could see the bishop of Carloman preaching a cult to the mayor of Newt, waving a small whip and forcing him to join the cult.
He didn't expect to discover the "basement" hidden in the Mundama City Cathedral as soon as he came in. He also didn't expect to see such a disgusting scene.
However, his breathing became steadier and more careful, and his footsteps became lighter and slower.
Perhaps a fledgling Thief would be frightened by this scene and would be scared out of [Stealth]. However, Xu Jun was a veteran of many battles and had mastered [Stealth] to the point of perfection. This was a must-have skill for the Three Lights!
Therefore, it didn't affect him much.
He raised his foot, and a few black beetles jumped out from under his foot and crawled into the crack.
These were carrion eating black beetles. They would lay their eggs inside the carrion and would usually appear on the second or third day after the animal died.
The owner of this arm had been dead for at least two or three days, but he wasn't the only corpse here. The whole basement was filled with severed limbs, a few heads and some organs scattered around.
Xu Jun didn't want to carefully identify what these organs were. He only felt that in this small area, if he were to put all the pieces together, he would be able to piece together four or five people.
If these corpses had rotted normally, it would be possible to deduce the time of death of their owners. From there, it would be possible to determine whether they were nobles who had been buried here in the past or had died recently. However, after being "undead", the corpses were very different from ordinary corpses. They were in a state where they were constantly festering but not completely destroyed. Without experimenting, it was difficult to tell when they had been undead.
The stench filled the entire cathedral. Xu Jun took out a handkerchief and dripped two drops of moonlight potion on it. He then covered his mouth and nose and tied a knot behind his head. He looked like a bandit in a drama.
The handkerchief was made of silk with two roses embroidered at the corners. It was strange when Xu Jun tied it around.
Xu Jun's nose was finally saved. He untied the leather bag and released the bone bird.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully," he said softly. "Record everything. Maybe your master needs it."
The bone bird fluttered and flew away.
The Demon King's crystal ball lit up again. His Majesty Roschinke, the Dark Demon King, was discussing the matter of the Northern Coalition Army with the Ice Lord and the Lord Of The Deep. He silently glanced at it and thought that life was interesting. He could even watch the live broadcast when he had nothing to do.
Then he saw Xu Jun raise his head and slowly mouthed to him, "One thousand gold coins per hour."
Your Majesty The Demon King, who was waiting to watch the live broadcast, was speechless.
Well, Xu Jun, the god of the gaming area, was already very kind. He clearly stated the price, and at least didn't hint that he should reward him.
No outsider could go to the basement of the cathedral, and no one knew that there was a tunnel that connected to the cemetery behind it.
The nobles and rich warriors who racked their brains to be buried in the Mundama Cathedral and hoped to go to heaven probably didn't know their real ending.
"This is simply blasphemy."
Xu Jun tore apart half of the corpse in front of him with a dagger. The stinking liquid sprayed on him and he frowned.
— — People should die properly. For a materialist who didn't believe in God, he had always thought so.
He didn't encounter a single real undead along the way. They were all undead, which wasn't a good thing.
He was prepared for the Bishop of Carloman to raise an undead army, but now he didn't encounter a single enemy.
The tunnel was narrow and cramped. There was no light at all. Xu Jun was completely relying on his night vision to walk inside.
The feeling of oppression was even worse.
Because the air hadn't circulated for a long time, it was very turbid. At that moment, Xu Jun heard a gust of wind behind his head.
Before he could react, he had already blocked with his dagger behind him.
There was a crisp sound of metal when the sword collided. He wanted to turn around, but his opponent's moves were faster and faster. He couldn't take the initiative to attack, mainly because the tunnel was too narrow. It was really inconvenient for him to use his full strength.
His eyes also seemed to be unable to see clearly.
It wasn't because the light in the tunnel had dimmed. There was no light in the tunnel at all. It was just that the black fog on this unknown enemy's body was affecting his vision.
It was actually a Death Knight.
Xu Jun hit his opponent's blade in a very awkward way. The two sides fought back, and the friction between the dagger and the blade made a teeth-numbing noise.
The opponent's blade didn't fall out of his hand. It seemed that this was a high-level Death Knight. Xu Jun didn't want to waste any more time here. He simply took advantage of the moment when the opponent was stunned. He used his free hand and legs to step on the wall of the tunnel and used the force to swing his body back.
In the dark and narrow space, his movements were still neat and unrestrained. It was as if he wasn't in a life-and-death struggle, but in an exhibition match.
After a face-to-face confrontation, the enemy had no advantage at all. It seemed that he didn't expect Xu Jun to get a chance to fight head-on so quickly. Originally, he wanted to rely on the advantage of the terrain to carry out the assassination. In the end, the assassination didn't succeed, and the terrain wasn't used.
His Majesty Roshyank The Devil, who was watching the live broadcast, said, "Xu Jun's reaction is still so fast."
He touched his chin as he spoke. Those who didn't know would think that he was remembering some friendly memories.
The Ice Lord frowned and had a headache. The Lord Of The Deep was happy to watch the fun. In the picture transmitted by the bone bird, Xu Jun had firmly suppressed the Death Knight.
The next second, Xu Jun stretched out his dagger and picked off the Death Knight's helmet, revealing a handsome but cold young man's face underneath.
— Although he knew that the Death Knight was different from the low-level undead and looked completely different, and there were many good-looking ones everywhere, Xu Jun still couldn't help but brighten up.
After all, he had seen the carrion … and now he saw a handsome young man. He couldn't calm down. So, under the watchful eyes of the bone bird, he patted the Death Knight's face with his dagger.
"You're good-looking," Uncle Xu Jun the Brave said with a smile.
Roshyank The Devil's face turned livid in an instant.
Only the Lord Of The Deep looked at Xu Jun a few more times. He seemed to find this human very interesting. Just as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, he was poked hard by the Ice Lord again.
The Ice Lord Vize's voice also seemed to be frozen. "What's going on?
Why is that Xu Jun ignoring His Majesty and going to flirt with others? "
He gnashed his teeth in anger. The Lord Of The Deep was also stunned. Big brother, do you like that Xu Jun or not?
Why is your attitude like the evil mother-in-law in the novels written by the bards?!
In the crystal ball, the Death Knight, who was teased by Xu Jun for no reason, was obviously the angriest. The muscles on his excessively pale cheeks twitched, and he didn't have enough strength to fight against Xu Jun. It seemed that Xu Jun's blow just now had a great impact on him.
Before long, his sword was knocked away by Xu Jun.
Then … the Death Knight heard Xu Jun whistling.
"…" Since he was turned into a Death Knight, he had never spoken again. Every day, other than doubting his life, he was entangled with the problem of his identity.
For him, as a former senior human knight, he was actually turned into an undead after dying in a glorious battle. Because of his instincts as an undead, he was subservient to the bishop of Carloman. This was what made him most angry.
But now, something that made him even angrier appeared.
The handsome Death Knight snorted heavily from his nostrils, then turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Xu Jun only felt that this loser had a temper, which reminded him of a certain Your Majesty The Demon King.
He wanted to touch his head, but found that his hands were full of dirt during the fight. The hand that touched the wall was even greasy and slippery. Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have taken off his gloves to improve his combat experience.
Xixi Your Majesty The Demon King: After watching this video, the only thing I'm happy about is that … fortunately, Xu Jun didn't call his enemy a grandson.
The Ice Lord Vize: … Wait, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
