The three children present are still breathing, and this is probably a large part of the reason that these children have learned magic in the church, and their bodies are far better than those children who have no magical qualifications but have not studied systematically at all. It is very adaptable to all kinds of magic.
The two apprentices who came to find someone together are not bad, maybe because they have been overdrawn in the first link of the very beginning, and the subsequent links that need to absorb the dark are not very smooth, so they were taken in advance. Discarded as a failure.
It is precisely because there are very few people who can unilaterally absorb the power of darkness from the outside world, and the probability of success is not high, so when a successful example appears, this group of mages will be so excited.
Compared with the two apprentices, Qi Zhuo's situation was much more serious.
Qi Zhuohui has always tried to compare himself with him precisely because his own talent is better than others. This was an enviable point in the past, but now it has become the most serious invasion of him by the power of darkness. reason.
Qi Zhuo's state at this time is like a half-finished product. From time to time, dark forces surround him. Even he himself is unconscious and unstable, curling up on the ground and struggling and shaking due to pain.
Silent Yan walked over and squatted down to help him up. He was responsible for bearing his weight with one hand and the other hand on his chest. He softly recited what the black-robed mage had read not long ago. Those spells, trying to pull out the power of darkness in Qi Zhuo's body.
But it is not unreasonable that this spell requires four mages to perform at the same time. The effect of using it alone cannot achieve the effect of directly extracting the ability of a person's body.
After discovering that this would not work, he immediately wanted to put Qi Zhuo down and go to the apprentice knight who was also missing.
There is no doubt that the reserve team member should have returned to the Paladins with other apprentices during the period of their disappearance. After learning about the disappearance of the apprentices, the Paladins will send people to search and rescue anyway. of.
Regardless of whether the Holy See has the ability to restore Qi Zhuo, who had been eroded by darkness, the first thing he needs to do is to find all these people.
It's just that before he could implement the idea in his mind, a voice suddenly sounded in the empty stone room.
"Do you want to save him?"
It seems to have an innate indifference to all things but also seems to have a heart-warming compassion. Just a sound makes people involuntarily want to kneel and worship. It should be like this, but when Silent Yan heard this voice, his first reaction was to resist.
It is said that magic is melted into blood and bones, and now he has no power of light in his body, only the power of darkness is left. The identity of the person who came was clearly stated.
Silent Yan restrained himself very well, and his physical resistance was hardly shown on his face. On the surface, he just lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on him curled up in his arms, trembling because of the magic invasion. on the body of Qi Zhuo.
"I want to save," he replied.
This is an answer that has nothing to do with him, because he can only answer like this.
The God of Light is not surprised, after all, no matter who would make such a response in such a situation, "I can extract all the power of darkness from your body to restore the body of light, and I can also make this child return to its original appearance. , but between you and him, I will only save one."
"save him."
He answered without any hesitation, like his first reaction when he heard the question.
The God of Light, who lives high in the temple, was silent for a while. He wanted to see some hesitation or struggle from the boy's face, but there was none.
This is actually unreasonable.
In this magical continent, no one understands the influence of different attributes of energy on human beings better than gods. In addition to the five elements, light and darkness are the existences that can directly affect human emotions.
Just as the extremists of the Dark God Cult thought, darkness can lead out the darkest part of everyone's heart, and even the kind-hearted person will become contradictory after a bit of darkness, unless the darkness is completely eliminated. Clean up, otherwise the way of thinking about problems will be affected by darkness, and it will become easy to be suspicious and will no longer easily trust others.
Unless he was in extremely dark and negative emotions in the past, it is impossible for a kind and simple person in the past to be immune to the influence of darkness.
The God of Light recalled that in any case, he could not think of this boy in a dark and negative direction. Except for his lack of faith, he was more like a kind, upright and humble child under the light of the God of Light than anyone else.
"Are you sure? If you choose to save him, then you may not be able to become a paladin for the rest of your life, or even be expelled from the Holy See because of your physique."
The voice of the God of Light may be a torment for the silent words of the dark constitution, but for Qi Zhuo, who is resisting the invasion of the darkness, it is like a good medicine that can dispel the darkness. He was in a coma because of this. And gradually became conscious.
He heard the words of the gods in a daze, and before he had time to understand what those words meant, he heard the boy who held him in his arms say succinctly, "Save him."
The question of the God of Light is just to see what kind of attitude he is holding at this moment, and how to do it, he has already made up his mind.
For humans, the extremely difficult baptism that requires four mages to operate is a matter that can be solved in an instant for the gods. He healed Qi Zhuo as he promised, and for a while, the stone room seemed to be illuminated Half surrounded by elements, the absolute power of light dispelled the darkness in Qi Zhuo's body, and even the other two children were healed.
The only person present who felt uncomfortable with this power was Silent Yan. Now his body has almost subconsciously learned to resist the power of light. Surrounded by the dizzy power of light, he seems to be in a In a large pressure field, being able to sit quietly like this is the limit.
Qi Zhuo, who was healed and gradually became clearer, seemed to be seriously injured. He stretched out his hand and hugged Silent Yan who was holding him tightly, burying his entire head on him. He just felt that Qi Zhuo was sobbing, he didn't think much about it, just like what he was used to in this world, he reached out and gently rubbed Qi Zhuo's head, and said softly, "Don't. I'm afraid, it's alright."
In the final analysis, Qi Zhuo is a high-spirited child who has not yet grown up. He is the only child who is held in the Qi family. It can be said that Qi Zhuo is only the last string away from a complete collapse.
Perhaps there was another person or he was comforted gently. Qi Zhuo, who was still repressed, finally couldn't help crying loudly. When he stopped moving, he gradually calmed down.
The power of the God of Light is indeed very powerful, but in such a short time, apart from himself in the entire stone room, Silent Yan could no longer feel any trace of darkness, and even the other two apprentices showed signs of sobriety. .
"...Why are we here? Eh, Ah Zhuo is there too?"
Hearing this, Qi Yancai suddenly retracted the hand he had been holding Silentyan, remembering his shameful appearance just now, his face flushed red, and he couldn't help but want to see Silentyan's expression , but never dared to look up at each other.
The two apprentices obviously don't remember what happened before, but obviously their bodies don't seem to have any effect, so Silent Yan naturally proposed to find the remaining missing apprentice knight.
The two apprentices were still apprehensive about this dark cave, and gradually followed behind Shen Siyan for fear of being alone. Qi Zhuo also followed, but his memory was clearer than those of the two apprentices.
He clearly knew what happened, and now recalling the conversation he heard just now, he couldn't express the guilt and remorse in his heart, and even the honorable thing of hearing the voice of Lord Guangming Shen could not let him Feeling a little better, Qi Zhuo wanted to ask if Lord Guangming had cured Silent Yan, or if it was really just as God said, only one of them could be saved, and the one who was saved was himself .
But now they are not alone, and only the two of them remember the specific situation of the baptism that happened before. Qi Zhuo is not sure if he should ask these questions in front of the other two apprentices.
In the end, he chose to keep his mouth shut, and waited until he returned to the Paladins to find an opportunity to ask.
They didn't find the missing apprentice first, but first met the knights who came to search and rescue after getting the news. When they asked what happened, no one answered. Although Qi Zhuo knew about it, Due to the special circumstances of Silent Yan, he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Only Silent Yan answered all the things without any obstacles, and finally made a conclusion, "It was Lord Light God who saved us."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning inside and outside the words is obviously to push the cauldron of the dead black-robed mages of the dark gods to the god of light.
No one has ever dared to make a joke about the God of Light, so when they heard this, everyone's first reaction was to thank the God of Light for protecting these children who symbolize the future hope of the God of Light, and also for these children to be lucky It is an honor to be in touch with the God of Light.
The death of those black-robed mages were very tragic, especially the two who had their entire throats pierced by the staff. Even the experienced knights would feel cruel when they saw it. How could such a method be the god of light? What they did, not to mention that most of these black-robed mages were black magic.
Silent Yan didn't know why these knights could see black magic, but none of them noticed the dark aura in him that was incompatible with them, but this didn't prevent him from talking nonsense.
"They didn't know why they suddenly started attacking each other, and that's why I escaped." He said, "This cave is not big, but they didn't seem to notice me when I escaped."
He said so, and on the premise that no other person at the scene could refute him, the group of knights had undergone part of brain supplementation and part of artistic processing. In addition, there were two children who said that the God of Light had come, so one The whole thing is born.
No one will sympathize with a group of people who are trying to hurt their compatriots, and the knights will naturally not feel sorry for the death of a few people from the dark gods. What they have to do is to sort out and analyze when this group of people came here. In this area, and whether what they did was inspired by the dark religion.
This part has nothing to do with the children who were victims. The apprentice knight was finally found in the depths of the forest, and some runes were engraved on his body. Maybe the people of the Dark God Cult had other plans. , but it is clear that it has not yet been implemented.
After returning to the Paladins, just like the previous knights, no one in the entire Paladins noticed the changes in him.
Silent Yan had reason to think that the God of Light was deliberately covering up for him, but he didn't understand that since the God of Light did not intend to expel him from the God of Light, why not just change his physique for him.
The magical attributes that every person with magical talent first learns have basically determined the next physique, and he now even has a complete body of darkness, which means that he is in the cloth The Holy See full of light power will be far more uncomfortable than other places, which means that even if he prays with other people every day, he cannot absorb any light power.
It can be said that staying in the Paladins has no other benefits for him except for the mission. He doesn't know what the God of Light wants to do. Before the God of Light makes the next move, he can only do it. They can hold their ground, fortunately, the Paladins don't pay much attention to magic aptitude.
In the early morning of the next day, he continued to pray every day with the other apprentices. In the past, Qi Zhuo, who saw him wishing to put his chin on him, was uncharacteristically, not only taking the initiative to get breakfast for him, but even praying. Right next to him, sitting next to him.
Others only find it novel, but they only think that the relationship has improved after sharing weal and woe, although it is impossible to see how good the relationship has become from the face of the other party.
Silent Yan was prepared to feel uncomfortable due to the surrounding light power when he prayed, but he did not expect that when he actually started to pray, the pain he needed to endure far exceeded the limit of 'discomfort'.
The God of Light seems to have a special preference for him, bestowing on him the power of light that is far superior to others.
