The descendant of the Great Sage in Marvel

Today is Sunday. In the eyes of the disciples, Sunday is the Lord’s Day of every week, a new beginning of the week, and also the day of Jesus’ resurrection.

On this day, the church in the town of Sleepy Hollow is usually more lively, because on this day, everyone is used to going to the church to worship.

Every time this day comes, the priest will lead everyone to pray to God and sing hymns together. Sometimes the choir composed of primary schools in the town will also come to the church to sing.

But today the church seemed very quiet. The winter sunlight shone through the sparse tree branches on the gravel corridor in front of the church, reflecting the pale whiteness of the cobblestones on the ground.

Occasionally, a breeze blew by, causing a few dead leaves that fell on the ground to flutter around. It was obvious that no one had cleaned the outside of the church for a long time.

A huge portal opened silently in the church garden, and a group of people walked out of the portal. Leo and the others were a little surprised when they looked at the current scene of the church.

Regardless of whether the people here are aboriginals in the town of Sleepy Hollow, they have all come into contact with this church after the Death Knight appeared. When Leo first came into contact with this church, it happened to be the day after the Death Knight killed the priest and Master David.

Although a murder had just occurred in the church at that time, it still looked very sacred and tidy. The clergy working inside, despite their sad faces, still remained calm and collected, silently doing the work at hand.

But now the church obviously looks a little deserted. Just looking at it will give you an ominous premonition.

The desolate and depressing atmosphere made people silent and walked together into the church. Leo asked Director Irving next to him in a low voice: "I don't know much about the situation here. Is the situation here normal?"

Director Irving thought for a while and answered him in a low voice: "It should be considered normal. In fact, the murder case in the church should be considered closed. But you know the special circumstances of this case. We can't make the devil's affairs public to the public. This will cause trouble in the town. snitches and turmoil."

"So the case of the priest's murder has been apparently unsolved. As the scene of the murder, the church has not been opened for a long time. Most of the clergy here have gone home because they have nothing to do and have not come here to work. So many No one was cleaning it, so it looked a little dirty, which should be a very normal situation."

Leo nodded and said nothing more. Rutledge led the way. He did not go inside the church first, but took them in a circle to the cemetery behind the church.

He led Leo and the others gradually deeper and stopped in front of a tombstone. As soon as he saw the condition of this cemetery, Rutledge's face immediately turned ugly.

Because unlike other complete purposes, the cemetery behind this tombstone has been dug up. Judging from the traces of the excavated soil, it is still very new. It must have been opened just a few days ago.

Needless to say, there was nothing in the grave except a few scraps of wood. Rutledge kicked a ball of dirt away with hatred, "It's bad, it's really damned that the death knight's head is missing."

"This is my wife's tomb. Why would the death knight's head be placed in my wife's tomb?" Klein stroked the words engraved on the tombstone, which had the name of his wife Katrina Klein clearly engraved on it.

What made him even more angry was that it actually had an inscription on it saying that his wife was burned at the stake for committing the crime of witch wounding. He couldn't believe his eyes that the land and people he was fighting for would actually kill him. Wife, even though more than 200 years have passed, it is difficult for him to accept it.

Rutledge took two breaths hard to calm down as much as possible, and shook his head, "Don't be angry yet, Mr. Klein. This is not your wife's real tomb. You should know that if your wife is a If she's a witch, then she won't have a cemetery at all."

"This is just a fake tomb. Because you killed the Death Knight, your family was threatened by those cultists at that time. In order to protect your wife and hide the Death Knight's head, that's why the Freemasons were outside the church at that time. This fake tomb was built.”

"In this way, as long as Katrina doesn't show up again, those pagans will think that she is dead, and they will not doubt that the death knight's head is hidden in her tomb."

After Rutledge's explanation, Klein also understood their behavior. Under the complicated circumstances at the time, this was indeed a good choice. But now another problem lies ahead. The death knight's head was taken out of the tomb.

Rutledge still had a glimmer of fantasy. Maybe the people in the church hid the death knight's head in a different place in order to protect it.

In order to test his idea, Rutledge took the lead in pushing open the back door of the church and walked in. After entering here, there is a lounge for the clergy of the church. There is a staircase next to it that leads to the upper part of the church, where the priests and nuns live.

Opening the small door in front of the lounge leads to the church hall. Rutledge walked straight over and opened the small door, not caring about observing the quiet routine in the church, and called the old nun's name loudly, but after several minutes, there was no response.

"This shouldn't be the case. Even if the other clergy had not come to the church, Sister Mary would not have left here." Rutledge's face was ashen, and the ominous premonition in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.

"Is there anything special about Sister Mary?" Klein asked curiously.

Rutledge nodded: "Since the break with the White Witch, the Freemasons have formed an alliance with the church here. After you defeated the Death Knight, General Washington ordered a church to be built here for the use of the regiment. .”

"Under the church, there is a secret chamber used by the Freemasons. The priests here represent the power of the order and shoulder the mission given to them by General Washington, guarding the heads of the death knights. This has been the case for more than 200 years."

"The priest and Sister Mary who died here are allies of contemporary Freemasonry. After the priest died, Sister Mary notified me through special means and asked me to summon all the Freemasons here to resist the power of the Death Knight."

"Sister Mary believes that after the Death Knight returned to Sleepy Hollow, the first thing he did was come to the church and kill the priest. This is definitely not a coincidence. They probably knew that it was someone inside the church who hid the Death Knight's head. She asked us Here she can keep a close eye on what is happening in the church. She believes that the priest has never revealed the information about the death knight’s head. The death knight will definitely come back if he wants his head back.”

"Sister Mary is a determined person. Since she has decided to fight against the Death Knight, she will never leave the church under the current circumstances and leave what she has guarded her whole life."
