Chen Rui bowed to the false angel, and said, "So it's the angel of the church! All this is just a misunderstanding, we just pass by here occasionally."
"Lord Kule! Don't listen to their sophistry!" The voice of the referee Hughes sounded: "When we arrived here, the ruins happened to be opened, and only this couple was among them. There is no doubt that they are the descendants of evil. !"
The offspring of evil? This word repeatedly emphasized by Hughes caught Chen Rui's attention—in this way, the "black-robed leader" is the so-called "descendant of evil". What do these four words represent
The pseudo-angel Kule's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he had gathered a huge power of the kingdom in an instant. Lola felt the strength of the opponent, showing a dignified expression, and the power of the six-element kingdom began to rise rapidly.
At this moment, two silver lights shone from Chen Rui's hands. These were two silver chains, which were faintly visible. However, even the strong light around Cook could not cover up the two silver chains. The brilliance of the white chains.
When Cook saw the two chains, he was immediately moved, and blurted out: "The chain of thoughts!"
The appearance of these two chains completely turned the attention of the false angel to Chen Rui.
"My lord, as I said, this is just a misunderstanding."
"Master Kule!" Hughes didn't understand the meaning of the two chains, and felt that Kule's murderous aura was rapidly decreasing, so he asked quickly.
Kule ignored Hughes, but stared at Chen Rui with burning eyes, and asked, "You...should still have something."
Chen Rui didn't answer right away, but just looked around: "My lord, don't you think there are too many people here?"
"Hughes," Kooler said immediately, "let everyone evacuate."
Hughes was taken aback, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately issued an order, and all the referees quickly left the site.
There was already an extra badge in Chen Rui's hand, a circular ring badge, this time even Hughes recognized it, and exclaimed: "Holy Ring Badge!"
This badge is not an ordinary thing, it represents the supreme three angels Raphael, according to Hughes' understanding, only the Patriarch of the Temple of the Holy Family, the saint Eudora, has one. Unexpectedly, this "descendant of evil" Actually there are!
"It really is you!" Kule has completely restrained his breath, "Why are you here?"
Chen Rui smiled wryly: "I told Master Hughes earlier that I was just passing by. This was a complete misunderstanding."
Hughes was still in doubt, and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency Kule, this Your Excellency is..."
"You should call him...Your Majesty." Kule smiled, "Although the official enshrining ceremony has not yet been held."
"It turned out to be..." Hughes finally understood, and without any doubts, he immediately saluted Chen Rui: "Your Majesty Arthur!"
Hughes is a high-ranking member of the church, so he naturally knew that Prince Arthur, the new owner of the crown of thorns, was inspired and canonized by Raphael, and he was about to become the bright son of the church and the successor of the next pope.
The Tribunal is a direct force under the Pope, so Hughes expressed considerable respect for the future church controller and his immediate boss.
"Don't dare! I haven't been formally appointed yet, just call me by my name." Chen Rui seemed to have thought of something, and said to Luo La: "Help me undo the Transfiguration first."
Luo La pretended to wave his hand very cooperatively, and Chen Rui changed back to the original appearance of "Arthur", saluted Hughes, and said: "I was going to the Lanyao Empire this time, but I encountered an accident in the territory of the Yangshan Empire." Assassinated, and fell into a trap set by the other party, and was almost killed by the dwarves by mistake, so I made a plan to divide my troops, find someone to pretend to be me and the guards and continue to move forward, and I will go on a different route."
"So that's the case." Kooler nodded approvingly: "Sure enough, he is resourceful, and he is indeed the talent that Lord Raphael values."
"Master Kule is overrated." Chen Rui said a few words modestly, and changed the topic back: "I arrived in Yuncai City in the afternoon, and I heard that there are strange things here at night, so I wanted to find out with the company of the guardian, but Unexpectedly, Lord Hughes came just in time, which caused a misunderstanding."
"Your guardian...is quite impressive." Kule glanced at Lola, showing admiration. The guardian of the ancient civilization is really extraordinary, but since he is the guardian of the "Holy Son", he is also the guardian of the church. Strength, of course, the stronger the better.
Laura turned her head slightly to Kuler, showing her respect. Although Miss Long, the Fairy, is already quite close to a demigod, approaching a demigod and reaching a demigod are completely different concepts. If you really want to fight one-on-one, Laura is by no means Kooler's opponent. It is considered good if you can escape.
But having said that, if the two sides really want to fight, Chen Rui can wipe out everyone including Kule with a "red star change". The reason why he chose to reveal his identity as the "Holy Son" has his own reasons consider.
"In fact, before Lord Hughes arrived, we fought against several black-robed men. One of the black-robed leaders lost to my guardian and fled, while the rest of the black-robed men committed suicide, leaving no one alive. Next, the method is quite decisive... What is the origin of these people?"
"This is originally a secret of the church," Hughes thought for a while, then glanced at Kule again, and replied, "But for His Majesty Arthur... Well, His Highness, sooner or later, you will have to master these information, so I don't need to hide it. Does Your Highness know about the Yunteng Empire?"
"Yunteng Empire?" Chen Rui's heart moved, and he nodded, "Master Gralin once told me some past events of Yunteng Empire."
There used to be three holy empires coexisting in the human world, namely the Longhuang Empire, the Lanyao Empire and the Yunteng Empire. The crown of thorns currently owned by Chen Rui is the sacred object of the Yunteng Empire. However, the fate of the Yunteng Empire is very miserable, and it is completely controlled by the Black Death Apostles. People in 30 towns in the country were all brutally and secretly sacrificed by blood. After this incident was disclosed by the escaped survivors, the entire human world was shocked. . Under the call of the church, led by the Longhuang Empire and the Lanyao Empire, almost all countries united to eliminate the Yunteng Empire and resolve this terrible disaster.
"Since this is the case, I won't go into details. Yuncai City is the ruins of the Yunteng Imperial Capital. It used to be the sacrificial center of cultists, and it gathered the power of resentment from countless blood sacrifices. Because of the special dark ceremony back then, As a result, these grievances have been unable to dissipate for countless years. Up to now, the area of Yuncai City is still full of terrible spiritual power. Every night, it will spread and affect all living creatures. Originally, after the reconstruction, this is a bustling city. The city, but due to this reason, has gradually become dilapidated, and now the Turin Kingdom Cloud City is in dire straits. Every year this week, the power of resentment will continue to deepen. According to the latest investigation results, this is caused by humans. Because this period of time is the day when the Yunteng Empire fell, that is to say, the remnants of the Yunteng Empire that were completely eroded by darkness back then... It is likely that the descendants of the royal family are deliberately carrying out some kind of evil ceremony, so I specially invited out of the warehouse Lord Le, led the elite of the court to rush here to set up an ambush, but unexpectedly ran into His Highness."
Rituals, the descendants of the royal family of the Yunteng Empire, the leader of the black robe...
Hatred, blood sacrifice...
In the memory, that sentence seems to ring in my ears again: "This is all fate, my fate is doomed from birth."
Suddenly, Chen Rui wanted to understand something.
"Unfortunately, I didn't catch that leader. I'll try to eliminate the resentment here." Chen Rui's thoughts turned quickly, a crown of thorns appeared on his head, and sacred breaths were released, and the strong resentment around him immediately began to drop sharply.
"Divine favor!" Hughes' eyes lit up, and Kule nodded slightly. He is indeed the owner of the crown of thorns and the owner of the shining body. the power of divine providence.
However, when the "sacred favor" power of the Crown of Thorns disappeared, the resentment began to return to its original concentration, showing no signs of weakening.
"Arthur, don't waste your efforts." Kuhler shook his head: "Although the power of divine care can restrain the resentment here, the 'amount' of resentment is too large, and the ceremony of that year left a lot of bad things. It is a well-known hidden danger, so the crown of thorns alone cannot get rid of these evil forces."
Chen Rui showed regret, and asked: "Master Kule, when I cast the crown of thorns just now, I got some strange feedback. I don’t know what the meaning of similar vocabulary is.”
This question is the real intention of Chen Rui to "get close" to the people in the church and reveal the crown of thorns.
"There is such a thing?" Kule was startled, showing a look of horror: "What is the specific feedback?"
"I don't know either. The information seems fragmented. I think we must first understand the meaning of those few words."
Kuhler looked at Hughes, and Hughes immediately understood: "I'll organize the referees first, and clean up the organs and altar-related things in this area."
After Hughes left, Kuler set his sights on Laura again, and Chen Rui smiled slightly: "My lord, this Miss Laura is my highest guardian of civilization inheritance and my wife. She will never betray, so there is no need to avoid it." .”
Kulelu groaned for a while, and finally said it: "This involves some real ancient secrets, so I have to be cautious... You have heard Gralin talk about the past of the Yunteng Empire, so you should know about the Black Death. Black Death Christians worship evil creatures that destroy everything, and these creatures are called 'abyss', which can be interpreted as 'taboo' in the old saying."
Chen Rui nodded. When he asked Tetnis about the "Abyss", the old man with thousands of years of knowledge inheritance thought for a long time, and the answer was only the word "taboo".
"The beliefs of these heretics are extremely terrifying, especially the fanatics. The degree of madness is horrifying. There was a terrible blood sacrifice in the Yunteng Empire that shocked the world. Countless living people were massacred, blood flowed into rivers, and life sacrifices were given Abyssal creatures. Abyssal creatures are not in our world, but are sealed somewhere, and the purpose of the Black Dead is to let these creatures break the seal, enter this world, and destroy everything."
Chen Rui has a deep understanding of this. The ancient alchemy civilization he inherited was destroyed by the creatures of the abyss. Thinking of a new term he saw in the sky wheel, he immediately asked: "By the way, my lord, there is another term, 'Lord What is 'plane'?"
"You should know that in addition to the ground world we are in, there is also the demon world in this world. It is said that these two worlds were originally one. '. However, in addition to the 'main plane', there are many 'small worlds' in different spaces. In some worlds, there are intelligent life races similar to ours, but basically no miracles can be seen. The abyss is sealed in a certain place. in a small world."
If Chen Rui has realized something, he already has a rough structure diagram of the universe as a plane in his mind. The place where the gods descend is the main plane, and the rest are small worlds, and the abyssal creatures are currently in a certain small world, trying to use various methods to return to the main plane.
Here Kule has continued to explain: "The supreme ruler of the abyss is the master, who can drive the army of the abyss. There are three masters, named after hatred, fear and despair. Some black dead with special strength or physique can Carrying the will of the ruler of darkness, and then undergoing some kind of mutation, it is called 'soul transformation'. There are high and low soul transformations, the low-level ones are affected by the will of the ruler, and the highest-level soul transformation can be transformed into a half-abyss or The terrifying creatures in the entire abyss can even break away from altars and other facilities, and directly reflect powerful projections that possess part of the power of the ruler. As for the blood-stained soul... It can be understood that the master of the abyss transmits soul power and strengthens the control of will through the main altar. That is to say , the more power the main altar sacrifices, the stronger the master's will will be passed on to the soul variant, and the stronger the strength it will display."
"The main altar?" Chen Rui noticed a key word in it.
"The main altar is an altar that directly sacrifices to the master. It contains special rules and the most powerful power. It can automatically absorb the sacrifices from all the secret abyss altars. Theoretically, each master corresponds to only one main altar."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: "So, as long as you destroy the main altar, you can cut off the master's control over the black dead disciples... especially the soul variants?"
"At least it can be greatly weakened," Kooler sighed, "but it's not easy, the main altar has always been the biggest secret of the black dead. For so many years, we have been trying to find and destroy the main altar, but there is no clue. ... The information you obtained from the Crown of Thorns may be very important. If you continue to receive corresponding prompts in the future, you must pay attention. Actually, I know very little about the abyss. If you have more questions, In the future, you can ask Lord Rafael for advice."
Chen Rui nodded, with a strange gleam in his eyes—at least he was able to determine what the biggest task for the avatar Shura in that mysterious church was now.
