The Amber City at night was unusually quiet.
Since the skinning incident, no one in the entire Amber City and the surrounding area dared to come out at night. Even those fringe people who are active in the gray area are now staying in their own territory with fear. The dark realms are full of pure evil and chaotic lunatics. Although the gray realms have a lot of contact with them, they have always maintained their own boundaries.
Amber City's garrison has been fruitless!
Not only the nobles have repeatedly asked them to solve it as soon as possible, but the church has also begun to put pressure on them.
The atmosphere of panic spread further, and the church in Amber City finally lost patience with the guards and began to send out their own Templar knights and paladins to investigate. It's a pity that those evil beings were extremely cunning, not only did they not find any clues, but they also lost a companion. The companion's corpse was hung on the city gate the next day, next to a complete human skin.
Fear brews in the night!
The behavior of the followers of the evil gods attacking the temple knights finally caused the church to be furious. The churches of the three lawful gods in Amber City began to send high-level temple guards, and even the bishop who presided over the nearby area joined the action.
at the same time.
A secret underground chamber somewhere.
There are many strange pictures carved on the four walls, including bones, lava, demons, altars, and a phantom of a demon god shrouded in darkness.
The gloomy phosphorous fire swayed, reflecting the surroundings in an extremely eerie way!
A group of believers in black robes knelt under the altar, praying on the ground with their hands interlaced. On the altar was a priest in red whose face could not be seen clearly.
He held a crystal ball in his pale palm, and chanted the ancient demon tongue.
"Your Excellency the High Priest!"
"According to the prophecy left by our Lord, the first Son of Terror will wake up in despair!"
"But we didn't feel the breath of the Son of God."
"The skinning ritual has begun."
"The breath of fear is spreading in this city!"
"But the temple guards of those churches are about to find us, and we have lost some people."
"Now."
"Should we continue the ritual? Wait for the Son of Terror to awaken?"
A strange purple flame emerged.
The hoarse voice that could not distinguish gender or age echoed and spread throughout the secret room, slowly saying: "The prophecy has been interfered with!"
"The gods seem to be aware of my lord's arrangement."
"Continue to carry out the sacred skinning ceremony and spread the power of fear to the Southern Principality. The second Son of Fear will wake up at a certain sunset!"
The priest in red knelt down reverently.
He stared firmly ahead, and said in a deep voice, "The ceremony will continue!"
"The will of our lord shall cover the abyss."
under the altar.
The believers of the evil god kneeling on the ground began to pray, and waves of evil energy gathered in this secret room.
…
It is not possible to enter the Amber City at night.
Especially after the skinning incident, more guards were placed at the city gate, and the activities of other people were strictly checked.
So Sauron had to stay outside the city overnight and try to find a way to enter the temple area the next day.
Dawn Temple.
A faint radiance shrouded the hall, and there was an atmosphere of tranquility, serenity and hope all around.
This is a solidified blessing technique. With the help of the divine power gathered by the temple, believers can feel spiritually satisfied after entering it.
A small figure knelt before the tall and majestic statue.
Pastor An Yali slowly opened the door, glanced at the little girl in front of the hall, and said softly, "Vivian."
"Are you praying to the Lord of Dawn?"
The little girl raised her head gently, glanced at the girl behind her, nodded obediently and said, "Yes."
"I pray that he will keep my brother safe and sound!"
Although Sauron didn't say it, Vivian knew that he must be doing something very dangerous.
The little girl didn't try to stop it, but just prayed for Sauron in her heart, asking the gods to bring him a little luck.
No matter what kind of god it is!
The young priest walked to her side, reached out and stroked her little head, and said slowly: "Then you should pray at dawn, and the Lord of Dawn will listen to the prayers of believers at that time."
The little girl nodded with a half understanding, and then said: "That's good."
"Tomorrow my sister will take me to pray together."
An Yali stared at the cute little girl in front of her, nodded with a smile, and then said, "Vivian."
"Are you willing to believe in the Lord of Dawn?"
"I can feel that you have a unique talent in you, and you may have the possibility of becoming a priest."
"If you are willing to serve the Lord of Dawn, your family members can also be accommodated by the temple. Maybe Sauron will be able to find a decent job in the future. After all, he is also very skilled!"
The little girl fell into deep thought.
Her expression seemed to be a little moved, but she quickly replied: "I want to ask my brother before making a decision."
"If my brother agrees, I want to try it too."
don't know why.
When Vivienne talked about giving it a try, she inexplicably felt a little repulsion in her heart.
Her perception has been very keen since she was a child, but for some reason, she resents the gods in her heart. So she and Sauron are unbelievers, not even a deity with false faith on the surface. The little girl couldn't tell why, but she just felt that if she let herself believe in them, she would feel very awkward in her heart. For example, the brilliance in the temple shone on the human body and felt very comfortable, but she still didn't like it.
If it wasn't for Sauron's prayer, she would not even be willing to enter the hall.
"Well."
The young priest showed a hint of joy, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said slowly: "Maybe you can try to understand some of the most basic divine arts first."
"Like this!"
"UA!"
An Yali uttered a strange monosyllable, and then a light appeared on her fingertips.
The light was like a candle, illuminating everything nearby.
"This is the light technique."
The young priest smiled and looked at the wide-eyed little girl in front of him, and said softly, "It's a very simple divine art. If you have the talent to become a priest, you should be able to master it quickly."
"But you need to be baptized first. The sacred ceremony will make you feel the power of the gods."
Baptism is the key to becoming a priest.
This is a process of strengthening and amplifying perception. During this process, people with priest qualifications can perceive the power of divine magic. Professionals including paladins, temple knights, rangers, etc., can gradually master some low-level skills after this ceremony. The ability of high-level magic. However, this is only the initial ceremony, and the priest will have more important sacred rituals when he advances.
bang!
A loud noise outside the main hall interrupted the young priest's words.
Immediately, a temple guard wearing full body armor walked in. The armor on his body was extremely heavy, and he made a clanging sound when he walked. There was a trace of blood on the resolute face of the other party. After entering the hall, he fell towards An Yali. Said: "Matos is injured!"
"We found the lair of the Fallen. Matos was stabbed in the heart during the battle!"
Socia's expression changed slightly, and she said to Vivienne in front of her, "Go back to your room by yourself later."
"Lask."
"Take me there to see!"
The two left quickly.
The followers of that group of evil gods have been very rampant recently, and the evil skinning ceremony has disturbed many temples, and the guards of the Temple of Dawn also participated in the action. Matos is a third-tier temple guard, with a professional level of over 10. Even he was seriously injured in the battle. It seems that the evil god believers who appeared this time are very powerful!
Vivian watched the two leave silently. After they left, she raised Bai Nen's fingertips and said to herself: "UA!"
"Could it be possible to use divine magic just by pronouncing this syllable?"
A bright light emerged!
The little girl opened her mouth wide in surprise, looking at the light erupting from her fingertips, she seemed a little unbelievable.
She seemed a little scared.
He quickly flicked his fingers, as if he wanted to extinguish the light.
But soon she got used to it, looked at her fingertips curiously, and murmured: "It's really that simple?"
"Can you use magic in this way?"
…
