Chapter 0008: The acting is too poor, go home and practice again

Accompanied by a scream, the soul of the cultist was forcibly extracted from his body and then absorbed into Frostmourne. At the same time, a line of information reappeared before Fang Zheng.

What is even more certain is that after entering the church, the pastor actually walked behind him instead of in front. Generally speaking, since he was the one who hid that fragment, he should certainly be responsible for leading the way. However, he fell behind himself while closing the door; if there is no problem with that, it would be quite strange!

Hello, stranger, may I ask what brings you to Watson?

Looking at the system prompt that appeared before him, Fang Zheng curled his lips. He then put away Frostmourne and began searching for the fragment of the Holy Sword. Since this priest was a cultist, it was very likely that Magda had already learned about the fragment of the Holy Sword. Upon further reflection, it might be that the other party was deliberately stalling for time, which is why they led Nephalem in circles! It is highly probable that in the game, before Nephalem reached Watson, that fragment of the Holy Sword had already been taken by Magda!

With this thought in mind, Fangzheng took a step forward and walked towards Watson Town

This pastor is also a cultist

What exactly is it

As the pastor spoke, he turned his body slightly to indicate for Fang Zheng to enter. Upon hearing the pastor's words, Fang Zheng gave him a meaningful glance before stepping into the church.

The time from Cretu hetushu .com .com to Watson was even longer than one might imagine. When he was awakened by the boatman from the cabin and stepped onto Watson's dock, it was already five hours later

Upon hearing Fangzheng's response, the pastor was momentarily taken aback, then nodded as if suddenly enlightened

Looking at the priest before him, Fang Zheng nodded, then took out Captain Ramford's letter from his bosom and handed it over.

Right in front ... ...

Fang Zheng increasingly felt that this was the truth; otherwise, why would Naifei encounter the phantom of Magda when he reached the cellar in the game? Moreover, she seemed to be leisurely waiting for him there. This clearly indicated that it was a trap.

Forget it, let's go find the fragments first

Looking at the dumbfounded priest before him, Fang Zheng let out a cold laugh. In fact, when he first met the priest, Fang Zheng had already sensed that something was off about him. The priest's eyes initially filled with concern, and when he heard Fang Zheng's purpose, he clearly displayed a hint of anxiety. What raised Fang Zheng's suspicion the most was that the priest did not examine Captain Ramford's letter too carefully; he merely tore it open, glanced at it hastily, and immediately allowed himself to enter the church

The entire church was shrouded in darkness, with only the faint glimmers of light from the candles barely illuminating a few objects.

The pastor spoke while staring intently at the square figure ahead. Then he reached out and silently took a dagger from his bosom. However, Fangzheng seemed completely unaware of this; he merely turned his head curiously to look around and casually inquired.

Soul Power + 45

Alright, everything is settled, it was even simpler than I imagined. The next step is to return to Tristram

I understand what you are saying. Coincidentally, we have indeed discovered something quite peculiar. Please follow me...

The facts also prove that Fangzheng's judgment is correct

How did you ... ... discover ... ...

How could it possibly... ...

The newcomer, Fang Zheng, did not attract much attention in the small town, perhaps because most people were busy with their work at that moment. The entire town appeared calm and peaceful. However, Fang Zheng had no intention of causing any trouble; he quickly found the church located within the town and knocked on the large door. Soon, a person dressed as a priest emerged from the church, looking curiously at Fang Zheng.

Hello, Pastor

At this time, Watson Town had not yet been attacked by cultists as depicted in the game; the people were still living peaceful and tranquil lives. Occasionally, one could see fishing boats coming and going, as well as children playing in the fields by the countryside. Witnessing this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. He could imagine that once the cultists launched an attack here, there would be almost nothing that could escape unscathed.

Perhaps this cultist believes that he is infallible in his actions, but he is clearly unaware that Fang Zheng has already learned the location of the cellar from the game. After searching the church to no avail, he immediately exited through the back door of the church and arrived at the adjacent cellar. It was, of course, locked, but Fang Zheng did not care about such trivial matters at this moment. The thought that those cultists and their leader could appear at any time heightened his vigilance, and he directly sliced open the cellar door with his sword before stepping inside.

This is the fragment of the Holy Sword! Fortunately, it is still here!

While speaking, the priest secretly quickened his pace, stealthily approaching Fang Zheng from behind, gripping the dagger tightly in his hand, and thrusting it forcefully towards Fang Zheng!

Has this wasted five hours

Oh, it was brought up by our fisherman while he was fishing. It occasionally emits a very peculiar power. The fisherman did not know what it was, so he brought it to the church. I originally intended to keep it safe, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be related to that meteorite

Fang Zheng walked towards the interior of the church while casually inquiring. At that moment, a sound of the church door creaking shut came from behind him. Subsequently, the voice of the pastor echoed once more

The priest's eyes widened in astonishment as he gazed at the cold blade that had pierced his body. The chilling aura of Frostmourne spread outwards, instilling a fear within him that felt as though even his soul was on the verge of freezing.

Most importantly, at the moment the priest made his move, Fang Zheng clearly heard his breathing become heavy in an instant. This is a natural human response, indicating that he was either very excited or very nervous. Therefore, Fang Zheng summoned Frostmourne without hesitation and struck directly behind him.

I am a militia member from Tristam. Previously, a meteorite fell there, and I heard that some fragments have landed in Watson, so I came to see if there are any clues.

However, it is unfortunate that at present, Fang Zheng is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to protect himself. He now only hopes to take away that fragment as quickly as possible. In this way, perhaps the cultists will have no reason to target Watson, thereby diverting their attention to preserve this peaceful little village

Meteorite

Watching the figure of the boatman recede, Fang Zheng furrowed his brow. He did not expect Watson to be so far from Tristam, and it was a one-way ticket—after all, the boatman had informed him that he was only responsible for sending, not for receiving. Initially, Fang Zheng felt somewhat puzzled, but then he realized that there was a teleportation array beneath Watson's small church, which was certainly much faster than being transported by boat.

However, Fang Zheng had not finished speaking when suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind the platform in front of him. Immediately after, Fang Zheng saw several individuals dressed in yellow robes, resembling cultists, emerge from within. They were momentarily taken aback upon seeing Fang Zheng, and he, too, was stunned for a moment at the sudden appearance of these cultists. Then, he quickly regained his composure.

After a quick inspection of the church, Fang Zheng found nothing. However, this did not worry him; rather, it reinforced his judgment that the priest had not placed the fragments in the church as described in the game before moving them to the cellar, but had instead kept them hidden in the cellar all along

At that very moment, a cold light suddenly flashed by

Fang Zheng has always been adept at reading between the lines, which helps him gather information. It is through this skill that he is currently assessing that the situation is not quite right.

Upon seeing this fragment, Fang Zheng's previously anxious heart finally settled down. He walked to the edge of the platform and then carefully checked the surroundings. After not discovering any traps, he extended his hand to take the hilt of the sword and placed it in his clothing pocket. It was only at this moment that Fang Zheng finally felt at ease

Indeed, it is not here

Pfft

Indeed, the souls of the living are stronger than those of the living dead

Then, what about that fragment

The entire cellar appeared to be not much different from that in the game. As Fang Zheng walked through the corridor and arrived at the center of the cellar, he quickly saw the hilt placed on the central platform, emanating a soft glow

Your acting is too poor, go home and practice again

This group of cultists actually used a teleportation array to arrive here

Swish!!
