The face of the statue of the God of Light returned to its original blur, and the strange force field surrounding the statue gradually disappeared.
It's not that Shura has some kind of change. In fact, Shura is not completely annihilated, but when Chen Rui comprehended the truth of the universe of birth and destruction, as another self, he truly returned to Chen Rui's body. As if all rivers are inclusive, destruction returns to the mystery of the entire "universe".
The incarnation outside the body is more of a clone skill derived from it. Even if this clone is endowed with a corresponding independent consciousness by Chen Rui, it is just another idea that is equivalent to the main body, and it will not become an existence that is mainly anti-customer like before. .
The reason why Shura stopped his power was because the power of faith accumulated by the statue in the prayer hall was running out, and the less power of faith, the stronger the counterattack of that repelling power. Just in case, Chen Rui Take back the avatar. Not only that, but the sound of footsteps outside is also getting closer, it should be Mana and others.
These stolen power of faith are accumulated in Shura's body, and through transformation into the power of faith of the super system, the speed of this transformation is relatively slow, which is equivalent to getting back a large amount of food storage, and then eating part of it every day, slowly Digestion.
In any case, the success of this attempt gave Chen Rui an unexpected surprise. The "inheritance" left by Shura is really extraordinary, just like stealing the power of faith from the super system, he was able to steal and transform beliefs other than himself strength.
In this way, the speed of belief crystallization will be greatly accelerated, and it is not a luxury to reach the number of one million people who cast the starry sky gate and return to the demon world!
Well, now Chen Rui has two primary tasks. First, get into Baiya and go to the Holy Mountain of Light to pick up Xue Dalai; second, try to steal the power of faith from the Church of Light and get together a million beliefs crystallization.
Both of these tasks are related to the Church of Light, and the current plan to "replace the Knight of Light" is the key.
When Chen Rui walked out of the prayer hall, he saw Pastor Mana, Lucio and others waiting outside. As soon as the fat pastor saw Chen Rui coming out, he quickly asked, "Li Cha, have you fully recovered your mental strength?"
"It hasn't fully recovered, but there is no serious problem." Chen Rui looked at Lucio, "It seems that our priest is really extraordinary, and he solved the problem so quickly."
"It's just a trivial matter," Mana's triangular eyes flashed with pride, "it's you, my friend. Just now Zola said that there was something strange in the hall, but he didn't dare to go in and disturb you. This made me a little worried about your situation. Thankfully, you're fine."
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the monk Zola, and found that his strength was only F, and his mental power had reached E-, so he deliberately asked, "Brother Zola, what did you feel just now?"
Zola replied respectfully: "It's just a special feeling, and I can't tell you the specifics. This feeling lasted for a while, and then disappeared when Lord Mana came. Perhaps, this is just my hallucination."
"No, your feeling is not wrong. It was my mental power fluctuating just now," Chen Rui thought about an excuse, "There is a special sacred aura in this hall. When I recover my power, my spiritual power It seems to have been washed and sublimated... Originally, my strength has been stagnant for several years, but now I have found a faint sense of breaking through the bottleneck."
"Oh?" Mana's eyes lit up. The higher the level of "Li Cha"'s strength and the stronger his "Beast Controlling Technique", the more beneficial it would be for their plans. If Eliza can pass through Eliza and join the line of Cardinal Rogge, not only will Mana be able to take the long-coveted position of Bishop of the Royal Capital, "Li Cha" will be able to become an alternate Bright Knight, and in the long run, Li Cha The police found a powerful temple knight as a backer, and as the contract object of the bundle of interests, he, the bishop, also benefited a lot.
"Mana, if you don't bother me, I hope to stay in the church for a while, grasp the inspiration of this breakthrough, and strive to break through to the next stage of the division." Chen Rui's words faintly revealed that his current situation The strength has reached the first stage of the division level (equivalent to the devil).
Sure enough, Mana showed a look of surprise, more and more convinced that Chen Rui was a genius of a certain big family, and agreed without hesitation: "Of course this is no problem! You will be a candidate for the Bright Knight shortly. Some corresponding principles and etiquette things need to be firmly grasped, so you should stay in the church and seize the time to comprehend and learn, in fact, we don’t have much time.”
In this way, Chen Rui remained in the Guangming Church in a high-sounding manner. In the next few days, he would go to the main hall to pray for "enlightenment" every day, sometimes in the dead of night, and sometimes when the believers were praying.
After a few days, the harvest is not small. Not only digested half of the stolen power of faith and transformed it into a crystallization of faith, Chen Rui also experimented with a more concealed method of stealing, using Shura's magical talent from the mirage to create a materialized "truth" "Illusion", to hide the wheel of faith and the facial changes of the idol, so that even in the public, the faith can be stolen openly.
Of course, the prerequisite is that no strong person can see through the illusion of the power of the mirage. Generally speaking, it is safer when there is no one.
The only regret is that since Chen Rui used his avatar to steal the power of faith from the statue for the first time, the recovery speed of the power of faith from the statue has been unsatisfactory. In the past few days, the sum of the power of faith stolen by Shura is not enough One-tenth of the first time.
There are quite a lot of believers in the Church of Light, and the statues are equivalent to the pillars of faith in the super system. Even if you don’t go to the prayer hall to pray, your usual beliefs can be automatically absorbed by the statues of the God of Light. It is estimated that they will be restored in one or two months. This speed is actually not too slow, but for Chen Rui who has limited time, it is obviously not feasible to wait like this.
It seems that the target of stealing can no longer be limited to Gudan Town, and the target must be changed.
At this time, Pastor Mana just proposed to leave for Garden City immediately. The fat man received the latest news. Although Cardinal Rogge did not arrive at the capital of Yangshao, his most beloved niece, Miss Elisa, changed her itinerary on the way. The destination was the largest warcraft trading market in Yangshao Kingdom. Garden City.
The person in charge of the Garden City Church, Pastor Sorenton is Mana's cousin, and belongs to the same faction in the church as Mana. This time, Chen Rui's candidate for the Candidacy of the Bright Knight was recommended by the Garden City Church.
Of course, Chen Rui would not raise any objections. He took Lucio with him, set off with Mana, and boarded the carriage to Garden City.
Gudan Town is about a five-day drive from Garden City. As before, Mana hired escort mercenaries from the Mercenary Union. The Holy Feather Mercenary Group was abandoned this time due to "offending" the church. Mana chose another relatively powerful mercenary group "Iron Shield".
Coincidentally, Chen Rui, the head of the Iron Shield Mercenary Corps, happened to have a little impression. It was the female mercenary who reminded Chen Rui not to be Lucio. Her name was Ina. Relatively petite, but exuding a mature charm, strength D, equivalent to a high-level demon, is a shield warrior who is good at defense.
This time there were more than forty members of the Iron Shield regiment who participated in the escort, all equipped with mounts, and the escort team formed two columns to protect the carriage.
Ina's mount is a ground dragon beast, it looks clumsy, but its speed is not slow. Lucio's attitude towards Ina seemed to be very attentive. He rode a horse and walked side by side with Ina, striking up conversations from time to time along the way, but Ina's attitude was very indifferent and rarely spoke up.
At night, everyone camped in the woods along the way.
"You are really different from before," Yi Na finally spoke, "even compared to a year ago, the change is a bit big, is it because of... that person?"
Lucio looked at the direction of her gaze and nodded: "That's right, the group annihilation in the Poison Cave a year ago was a turning point in my life, and meeting the captain... means that my life has a chance to start again. "
Yi Na showed a strange expression, and looked a little more surprised in the eyes of Chen Rui in the distance.
"You call him captain?" The bearded mercenary on the side showed contempt, "Looking at his age, even if he hides his strength, he is at most a soldier, but judging from the attitude of that fat man in Mana towards him, his background should be Not small, Lucio the Spear, you really have 'vision', and you have found a powerful young master as your master."
Lucio felt embarrassed in front of Ina, blushed, stood up abruptly, glared at the bearded man, then calmed down again, turned and left without saying anything—the master is a saint-level power, as a Followers, naturally don't need to care about these ignorant people.
This reaction made Yi Na's eyes move, and her brows frowned slightly: "Silva, I know you and Lucio have never met each other, but this time we are hired by the church to escort them to Garton City. It can't affect the completion of this task. And... I always feel that Li Cha is not a simple person, let the brothers restrain themselves and try to pay attention to their words and deeds."
"I see, Commander." The bearded man nodded, "Actually, I don't bother to argue with that trash like Lucio, I just can't see him pestering you all the time beyond his control, besides, even if he recognizes the No matter how strong the master is, it is impossible to compare with our deputy head."
"Of course." Yi Na's eyes lit up when she mentioned the "deputy head." "I don't know if his mission has been completed. This guy just likes to act alone."
"Don't worry," the bearded man shook his head disapprovingly, "With that person's strength, it shouldn't be a problem. The only thing that the leader needs to worry about is that he won't be snatched away by other women."
"What nonsense, you are in charge of the night watch tonight! If something goes wrong, I will go back to Gudan Town!" Yi Na waved her fist, and the bearded man fled away laughing.
Chen Rui didn't pay attention to these details. After eating something, he hid in the tent and began to "practice". The fat priest naturally ordered everyone not to disturb him.
These days, apart from studying the power of faith, Chen Rui is also trying new functions of the super system.
In addition to the new skills, the six-star evolution has added a brand-new building - Fengxingtai.
The construction of Fengxingtai required one hundred thousand auras and one hundred faith crystals. Originally, because one million faith crystals were required to return to the demon world, and there was no other way, they had to be accumulated bit by bit, so Chen Rui was reluctant to use them for other purposes.
Now that Shura has succeeded in stealing the power of faith, nearly 3,000 faith crystals have been added before the "shun" faith has been digested. Only then did Chen Rui make up his mind and start building the Fengxing Terrace.
