Views:

Just as Dane was lamenting the mighty power of the gods, a woman in a white sacrificial robe came slowly from the back of the temple. She has long silver-white curly hair that falls to her knees; her skin is as white as moonlight without even the slightest blemish; she is dressed in plain white clothes, with no decorations visible, only the hair on her head With a ring of turquoise forehead protection, there is a white gemstone about the size of a quarter of a palm in the middle of the forehead protection. She is graceful, but noble enough to be unintentionally profane; she is as holy as a fairy, but as friendly as a mother.

She walked up to Dane, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Sir Dane, I am Eslore, priest of the Holy God, serving you."

This voice is also refreshing.

With such a beautiful woman in front of him, Dane became a gentleman: "Ah, hello, Esther, I am Dane, the master of Aurinadu." After introducing himself a little, he Still couldn't help boasting: "You are so beautiful."

"Thank you, my lord." Esrael responded generously.

After talking nonsense for a while, Dane finally didn't forget his business. He took out a small piece of black crystal from his pocket, handed it to Esther, and asked, "Miss Priest, do you know this kind of thing?"

Esther took the chip from Dane, and immediately recognized what it was: "The black crystal? And it is the black crystal corrupted by the power of the evil god? My lord, how did you get this?" something?"

Dane stomped his feet and said, "In the world under our feet, I got it from some faceless monsters called 'Cthulhu Worshipers'."

Esther's face became very serious, and her eyebrows, which were as beautiful as a crescent moon, also frowned: "This is a very serious matter, Crusu, it still exists?"

"What is Cthulhu?"

Eslor explained: "Cthulhu is the ancient evil god. There are three different types of gods in this world. The new gods, the ancient gods, and the old rulers are also the old gods."

"Once upon a time, the old gods controlled the entire world. They controlled the world with infinite power and took all living beings as their slaves. Later, the awakened ancient gods defeated the old gods, sealed them in every corner of the world, and liberated the world. came out, dethroned all the worshipers of the old gods, and created new creatures. The new gods are the followers of the ancient gods, or the gods who were acquired by the creatures. When he left, the new gods dominated the changes and rules of all things in the world. The great father of the elves was one of the ancient gods. He nurtured the elves and, with the help of the new gods of the elves, protected the elves prosperity."

"And the old gods are the enemies of all living beings. They curse all life, and they hate everything in the world. But fortunately, almost all the old gods have disappeared hundreds of millions of years ago. Some people say that their The body was divided into countless parts and sealed. Some people say that they have been completely wiped out. And the ancient gods gradually ignored the changes in the world. Now the new gods dominate the world. There are rumors about the old gods in the world. , there are only a few words of legend, and many old rulers don't even have the names of gods left."

"Cthulhu is an old god who left the name of the god. It is the god of the deep sea. In the last era, it controlled all the oceans in the Orodic world. Legend has it that it has seventy-two different tentacles, four With fifteen different eyes, it is one of the most powerful of the Old Ones, and even has the ability to fight against the ancient gods."

"It is said that in the battle of gods hundreds of millions of years ago, the three ancient gods, Fran, the Lord of Holy Light, Bane, the God of Tyranny, and Helo, the great God, joined forces to destroy Cthulhu. However, unexpectedly, it still left such a branch of worshipers in the world."

Dane's heart trembled more and more as he listened to Aslore's words. What the hell is it all about the battle of gods in the last era, what about the old rulers, things that he never knew about? In this regard, he himself has quite serious doubts. If it is not clearly marked in the Dynasty Heart system that the names of those faceless monsters are called "Cthulhu Worshipers", he will definitely feel that Ai Slore was telling him a story.

Looking at Dane's expression, Aslore said: "Don't believe me. Except for a small number of priests and pastors of the Church of the Ancient Gods, almost all the people who know the old rulers and the legend of Cthulhu There is no one else, even some churches of new gods may not even pass down the legends of old gods. However, you don’t have to worry too much, after all, this happened hundreds of millions of years ago, Cthulhu must not It may exist anymore. As for these so-called faceless people, they should be just some remnants."

Touching his chin, Dane thought about it for a while, and then decided not to pay attention to it. The legend of hundreds of millions of years ago has an egg relationship with the present? Unless Eslor said that Cthulhu was underground in Comilla Island, otherwise, all he had to consider were some faceless monsters. He didn't want to have anything to do with a so-called old god - and couldn't do anything.

So, Dane said: "Okay, we don't care about the old gods anymore, I just want to ask you, is there any way to purify this corrupted black crystal?"

Eslor said: "Yes, in the temple, I can complete the purification of the black crystal by myself."

Dane was overjoyed: "Great, then I will trouble you."

"Well, no problem." Esrael responded, and lightly recited two spells in the ancient high elf language, only to see a white light emerge between her ten fingers, and the black crystal she held in her palm was in the air. After about a few minutes, it became crystal clear. Although it is still black, it looks more transparent, and it is no longer as dirty as before.

Dane looked at the finished work of Eslor with satisfaction, grinned and said: "Not bad... I still have fourteen boxes, please help me purify them, Lord Priest."

Esther's face turned pale: "Fourteen boxes? Sir Dane, don't make fun of me."

Dane looked inexplicable: "Huh? What am I kidding with you?"

"To purify a piece of black crystal, I need to release a purification technique, fourteen boxes? I..." Judging by Esther's appearance, it seemed that he was about to swear. Of course, it is impossible for the noble and holy priestess to really utter foul words, she said: "Please forgive me for being powerless!"
