The next day, the Jujin Chamber of Commerce branch was evacuated.
When the sun shone in along the dome of the castle, the closed gate of the castle was also pushed open at the same time, and a large piece of golden light poured in from behind the two figures standing at the gate, reflecting the dried blood on the ground.
As far as the eye can see, there are neatly placed corpses dragged to the four walls, quiet and eerie.
"Sure enough something happened..."
The person who came in first glanced around, remembering every detail in his mind. There was not much strong emotion in his calm tone.
"Yesterday's performance was not reported to the headquarters routinely. It seems that it was because they had no chance to report."
Another person followed closely behind, and said with some playfulness: "It seems that there have been some unexpected changes. It may be a newly rising power. Maybe only this kind of young people dare to ignore it. Go crazy without hesitation."
"After reporting to the headquarters, stay nearby and observe for a while." The previous person nodded, as if agreeing with his judgment, "...Say? Maybe a new task will be generated."
·
In the small town of Konya.
Yuan·Lengtouqing·Wuwei? While basking in the sun, eating puffs made by chef Helena, his narrowed eyes revealed an expression of enjoyment.
He slumped in the chair like a cat.
I was intoxicated like this for a long time, until the golden sun disc in the sky gradually sank downward, why not? Then I reluctantly opened my eyes and spread my palms.
He murmured: "... it's time to get down to business."
A tattered parchment scroll spontaneously jumped into his palm.
Looking at the long list of cults again, why not? He showed an expression as if he saw a small dessert.
The system 999, who is all too familiar with its own host, couldn't help but mourn for those cults for three seconds.
Sure enough, Yuan Buwei said solemnly: "The quality of the sacrifices last time was too poor, and I couldn't guide the way for a long time. It's time to replace it with a batch of better quality ones that are easier to guide the way." Sacrifice."
System 999 didn't understand?: [There are not enough people in the Jujin Chamber of Commerce this time. I think it may be because? Because? You, the host, are too far away from this world, right? So, sacrificing so many sacrifices, a connection established temporarily is not enough to guide you to find this world for a long time. Don't worry the host, I'm afraid this can't be solved by changing the sacrifices. In the final analysis, the journey is too far, so we can only slowly explore it.]
I didn't want to, but I shook my head: "No, I was thinking wrong before. I actually used the method of summoning evil gods from cult organizations to summon myself... Those evil gods are outside this world, so it is of course convenient to summon them. .”
It's like lighting a firewood in the dark, people within ten meters can clearly see it, but people hundreds of meters away can see it? Therefore, I didn't think that what I needed was not a piece of firewood, but fireworks soaring into the sky.
"... If you think of the world as a dark house, the cultists just light a match through the window and call the thief who is waiting outside to come in; Open them all, so that you can see them." Why not? After thinking about it, he used a metaphor that he thought was simple, "... But in this way, can it not disturb the sleeping homeowner?"
System 999 nodded again and again, and subconsciously took over: [Then what should we do?]
"It's very simple, let the homeowner take the initiative to turn on the lights for me to lead the way."
[? ? ? ? ? ?]
The surface of the small photosphere is already covered with question marks.
Originally not for? But? Confused: "Cooperate with Tiandao? It's not the first time. Isn't this normal?"
Cooperating with Tiandao? It is indeed not the first time, but it is really the first time to let someone take the initiative to guide you and allow you to sneak in... The system 999 complained, but thinking of the situation where the world is facing the threat of evil gods, Also? I feel relieved. Under such circumstances, the arrival of the host might be a good thing for this world.
He had already made a plan in the blink of an eye, and he said to himself: "In a precarious house, some robbers are ready to move outside, and many thieves are trying to sneak in, and the security of the house itself will not be long. I was breached. I killed a few thieves first, and as a sign of cooperation, I asked the homeowner to turn on the light to guide me, and then the deity arrived and solved the robbers, perfect! "
The system 999 has been dumbfounded.
Don't look at the understatement of the host's words, but if the so-called robbers, homeowners, and thieves are all substituted into reality, you will know how great he said.
It was at this moment that Yuan did not temporarily formulate a course of action for the next period of time—
Capture evil gods, sacrifice to heaven, and summon yourself!
From this point of view, the list of cults is extremely important. If it is said that those evil gods are small desserts that are about to be put on the plate by Yuan Buwei, then this list is a non-mainstream a la carte list :).
"Then, it's time to vigorously cultivate tool people!"
He is just a fishing pope. If he wants to wipe out so many cults, he can't do it alone, and he needs to mobilize the power of a large number of tool people.
…
Not long after, the church founded by Yuan Buwei with the belief of "uncertain truth" and named "Truth Seminar" was divided into three parts by Yuan Buwei.
Respectively? It is the theory department, the practice department, and the editorial department.
The theory department corresponds to the preacher, develops tool people through various mouthpieces, and is also responsible for teaching believers the magic.
Mrs. Evans, who once persuaded all the townspeople by herself, became the leader of the preachers. The small town of Konya has also become the base camp of the Truth Seminar.
The practice department corresponds to the practitioner, as the name suggests, is to practice his way and principles through practice, and at the same time use the truth of the truth seminar to "convince" more people.
Ibert, who is still young, very malleable, and more enthusiastic about fighting, became the leader of the Daoists.
As for the guests of the Gathering Gold Chamber of Commerce who were forced to join, they did not do some small tricks for this, and they also incorporated them into the Daoists. Until they really understand the truth that the seminars profess, they are just handy thugs.
The last is to edit the external. Corresponding to the group of people who didn't? Stay but left. Although they did not become the core members of the "Truth Seminar", they will also preach for the "Truth Seminar, and maybe they will establish branches outside.
With such a division, the organization's operation suddenly became more orderly, and the order and efficiency were much higher.
Why not? Separately list those false cults that do not have true god beliefs, but the pope relies on his own strength or a few supernatural items to fool believers, and give them to the tool people to practice.
From being immature and unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming more and more proficient later, the practitioners have made great progress. Unknowingly, everyone has taken steady and firm steps on the road of "convincing people with reasoning" .
Not long ago, the group of children who were tied to the ground and could only cry nervously like helpless lambs had gradually transformed into excellent magicians.
This also has something to do with the magic of the Truth Seminar. It does not require years of study, nor does it require a long period of time to accumulate magic energy? Elements can be developed quickly in a short period of time.
Different churches have their own unique magical arts. For example, the Plague Church across the southern continent back then could perform all kinds of magical arts to infect people with diseases, and the gifted pope was covered by clouds of plague In a big city, countless people died in the plague.
The temple is the richest and most balanced divine arts. Because of the belief in the original dragon god, and it is generally believed that the dragon god created the civilization of this world, the magicians of the temple can cast all the spells of all elements.
As for the Truth Seminar, because of the belief in the principle of indetermination and the core of tampering with fate, Yuan Bu specially compiled the magic spells that are most in line with his own path and that do not pay attention to accumulation.
The first is "stealing luck", which is the foundation of everything.
Destiny is a big compiled net. When a small character on a certain thread makes a change on his own initiative and breaks through the shackles of the original fate, it also plucks this thread—just like when Ibert took the initiative to change from being The rescued sacrifice chose to become a follower who he did not want to be, which can be said to be the biggest turning point in his life.
If there is no "stealing luck" magical technique, the fate will change if it changes; but with "stealing luck", he will be able to steal enough luck during the violent turbulence of fate, and Stored in your own spell template.
So, in theory, from Ibert to Mrs. Evans, from the freed slaves to the townspeople of Kolia Town, they have already stored enough luck. And every time they break through their original destiny, or help others break through their original destiny, they will be able to steal a certain amount of luck through this magic.
They must constantly change their own and other people's lives, so as to have a steady stream of fortune.
Others use mana as their energy, and the Truth Seminar uses every fortune they steal as their energy.
Just like in martial arts novels, you need both internal strength and moves. Once you have energy, you also need to display skills.
Therefore, the next two magic arts were created.
The first is "insight", consume the stored fortune to activate the "insight" skill? The flaws of moves, the loopholes of spells, the trajectory of energy, the hidden injuries and weaknesses of the enemy... and even the rules of the world, everything is in the insight. It just depends on the luck of consumption.
- This comes from the Tao of not being? itself. If you want to break and tamper with the rules, you must first gain insight into its flaws.
Naturally, the next step is "tampering". If "insight" is still a basic skill, "tampering" is a big move that consumes a lot of luck at one time. The trajectory of the enemy's move, the changes contained in the technique... these are just the most basic tampering. Even more terrifying is the tampering of a person's spirit, will, and soul. Just like what I didn't do in the first place by using filthy prose.
It can be said that the lower limit of divine arts in the Truth Seminar is extremely low, and it is not difficult to learn, but the upper limit is also extremely high. As long as enough fortune is consumed, the effect is absolutely amazing.
It's just that the divine arts of the Truth Seminar are more "biased" towards assistance, and need to be matched with more "combat skills". At this time, those tools and people who have been included in the Jujin Chamber of Commerce into the Daoists can be used.
There are mages who are proficient in spells, wandering knights and mercenaries with strong melee combat capabilities, and there are those who try their best to play trumpet and trumpet, and there are also weak pseudo-cult organizations as the novice area Boss, Ebert and others transformed in a very short period of time, and quickly mastered all kinds of basic melee and magic abilities. Combined with the "insight" tree, actual combat ability is enough.
After gaining enough experience from the weak pseudo-cult organization, they have grown up completely.
Then, you can challenge more difficult copies.
For example, there is really an organization of evil gods behind those.
——The "Truth Seminar", which has been in a state of secrecy, finally bared its fangs in the dark world.
·
As the night fell, a large number of red roses bloomed like blood, and the mellow wine seemed to intoxicate the moonlight, making the open garden covered by flowers blurred.
In the melodious dance music, a lively feast is going on. The delicate and blooming rose petals can hardly take away the brilliance of the moment when the girl's skirt is flying, but instead make the surrounding atmosphere more ambiguous and warm.
Until a? ear-piercing scream? sounded.
The beautiful dance music, the mellow aroma of the beautiful wine, the light and graceful dance steps of the girl, the ambiguous hints of the lovers coming and going... All of these are like a meal carefully prepared by a top chef, which is about to come. The moment it was served, when everyone was expecting it to be full, they were suddenly thrown to the ground by the crappy maid... This rough scream ruined all the atmosphere.
What happened
All of them cast unhappy glances in the direction where the sound came from, but what came into view was a lady sitting at the stone table in the garden.
She was about thirty years old, and her face, which was originally well maintained and charming, was pale at this moment. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Those beautiful eyes were full of fear.
"What's the matter?" The host of the banquet walked over, frowning imperceptibly, and was about to ask carefully, but noticed that the lady raised her right arm tremblingly, and her fingers were trembling.
She took a few deep breaths, and pointed tremblingly at the exquisite marble table in front of her, to be exact? It was a black card placed on the table.
Judging by the size and pattern, it looks like an invitation. In the lower right corner of the invitation, a black feather fluttered gently.
"I, I was about to get a small cake..." the lady said with a trembling voice, "I found that there is no cake, and there is an extra... an invitation letter."
Speaking of the three words "invitation letter", her eyes showed endless fear, and her body even stepped back unconsciously, staying away from the black card, as if the invitation in front of her was a curse from the abyss demon , will drag her into the bottomless abyss
"Invitation letter?!" The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The men and women who were about to complain closed their mouths tightly, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
"...Are you sure?"
"Ha, does an ordinary invitation scare you?"
"... maybe it's just a prank?"
People started talking in twos and threes, no matter what they thought, everyone tried to speak in a relaxed and joking tone, but no one had the courage to go forward and take a closer look at the invitation.
Some people have already started to retreat quietly, observing the retreat route.
—I don’t know yet? Whether it’s true or not, this seemingly ordinary invitation has already brought such a threat.
And it all started more than a month ago. It is related to an organization called "Truth Seminar".
This has never been heard of before, but it has become famous recently. In just over a month, it has become a nightmare for all cult organizations in the western part of the Southern Continent, including Violet City. The fastest rising in the dark world, with the most means? A mysterious and ruthless organization.
A cult that calls itself the "Truth Seminar."
No one knows when this organization was established, and how long it has been operating in the dark. When it first came into public view, it destroyed a cult. Then came the second, and the third.
It joined the cult family with such an incompatible attitude, but it annexed and destroyed more than 20 "difficult brothers and sisters" in more than a month. On average, an organization is destroyed in less than three days, so the frenzied posture and terrorist methods displayed are really frightening.
And the so-called "Invitation Letter to the Truth Seminar" is the symbol of the "Truth Seminar".
It is said that once a cult organization is targeted by them, they will first receive an invitation letter from the truth seminar, and then the truth seminar will come to "visit" for as short as half an hour and as long as an hour .
And at the beginning, when the first small cult organization received the invitation letter, it didn't take it seriously, instead it was inexplicable, and then they were wiped out.
After the second, third, fourth... cult organizations had accidents one after another, relevant news spread in the dark world, causing public outrage.
In the past, the cult organizations in the Southern Continent were independent, unless there was a major conflict of interest, most of the time they would not interfere with each other, but now a guy who doesn't follow the rules suddenly came, who can bear it
A group of old seniors were ready to teach this young man who didn't follow the rules a lesson, so many cult organizations that had ties to each other cooperated for the time being in an attempt to jointly attack the Truth Seminar.
Just at this time, one of the family received an invitation letter, and other powerful organizations who kept in touch came to help out. Then, they were taken in one pot.
Not only was it taken over by one pot, but the organization behind these foreign aids also lost their strength because of the fact that one of the best experts in their own family was sent out and never returned. I don't know? Why did the news spread, so they didn't have to think about what to do in the future, they were directly disintegrated and divided by the rest of the organizations that followed. After all, it is true that cult organizations have nothing to do with each other, but they are not good men and women, and they will never put their meat on their mouths and not eat it.
Yuan Buwei who planned and guided everything behind the scenes? Said to this: Oh! Heretics are really immoral!
In short, with such a lesson learned from the past, the remaining organizations have many concerns if they want to join forces again. Invitations to truth seminars are still being sent out, and more and more cults have been purged.
Except for a few cult organizations with powerful or strong backings who are still trying to seize the tail of the Truth Research Society, secretly brewing a thunderous blow, other cults that claim to be invincible are in panic.
The group of people present is obviously the latter.
On the surface, it was a fellowship among a group of nobles, but in fact, it was a gathering of believers from the "God of Desire" church. The so-called "desire" does not refer to lust alone, but to all human desires. Indulgence and the gratification of one's own desires are clearly what this church believes in.
As such, they are also one of the largest contributors to the purchase of slaves at the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, a rather prominent part of the record. It's just because they are far away from Violet City, so they didn't think they were mopped up until today.
In the weird silence, the host of the banquet, also? The Pope of the Church of Desire, stepped forward and picked up the seemingly light black invitation.
He first saw the pitch-black crow feathers, one of the hallmarks of the Truth Seminar.
Someone once vaguely saw that a pitch-black crow held an invitation card, and then turned into a flying feather and dissipated.
When you open the invitation, you will see the top line of words. It is said that the invitations issued by the "Seminar on Truth" all have the same beginning and the same format:
"The truth is getting clearer and clearer. God is an imperfect truth. We sincerely invite you to discuss more possibilities of truth together tonight.—Seminar on Truth."
"Also: The cake is delicious. Please be sure to tell me the name of the chef. He has the right to survive temporarily even if he has a wrong understanding of the truth."
Seeing the remarks added later, the nervous expression on the pope's face turned into astonishment.
The others saw this, but they misunderstood it, and breathed a sigh of relief every minute: "It seems to be just a prank..."
"If you let me know who did it, I will drain his blood and turn him into flower fertilizer."
"No, this punishment is far from enough. He should be skinned and hung in the sun for three days!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, but found that the Pope not only did not relax, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.
They gradually realized that something was wrong.
"It's true." The Pope looked around and said in a deep voice, "... this invitation is true."
"The Truth Seminar is coming soon."
In the extremely dead? Silent atmosphere, the Pope gritted his teeth, and suddenly raised his arms high:
"Brothers and sisters, we need to work together! This is a crisis for the church, but it's not a hopeless situation—because? Because? We have the? Great? God of Desire to bless! The God of Desire is not those weak false gods, His The divine fire will destroy all heretics who dare to invade! Use their ashes to declare the inviolable majesty of our Lord!"
The priest stirred up everyone's emotions, and at the height of the atmosphere, he shouted with fanaticism: "Now, I need everyone's help, my Lord needs to see everyone's piety, Let us prepare the highest level of sacrifice and summon the gods with the most pious hearts! My lord bless you, sweep away the heresy!"
Soon, the grand god's presence ceremony began. The beliefs of countless people present gathered together, almost forming a mighty ocean, triggering a wave of holy tide.
Perhaps only with such a strong power of faith, is it possible to establish contact with that evil god outside the world and attract the attention of the other party. For many cults, this is their biggest and only one hole card.
After all, the gods should not be offended lightly, who would dare to summon the gods to descend from time to time? I'm afraid I'm courting death? Even if the gods are really amiable, the resources consumed to prepare for this ceremony cannot be afforded by ordinary organizations, so they can only be used at critical times.
Moreover, this so-called descending of the gods is not the appearance of the incarnation of the real gods—that is something that only the Plague Church has done, and they have been besieged by the whole continent because of this—it is just the casting of the gods Pay attention, and temporarily bless them with powerful power.
The mighty torrent of belief soared into the sky, converging into a piece of white light that is hard to see with the naked eye. It seemed that an invisible thought was drawn from a very far away, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Naturally? No one noticed that just outside this manor, a thick and deep darkness has enveloped it.
The bright and bright moonlight dimmed little by little under the erosion of darkness, and the night covered everything.
Someone came riding on the night wind, and the boundless night covered him. He was like the embodiment of endless darkness.
"From sending out the invitation letter in advance to the appointment time, it's just right for preparing for the god's presence ceremony."
The person in the dark murmured softly
"... As expected of me, I don't have a single minute of time to fish? Waste, perfect?."
·
The believers of the Church of Desire never imagined that what they did and what they did was originally planned by others.
In other words, it wasn't because I had arranged them clearly and clearly. The reason why the invitation letter was issued in advance is to give them time to prepare for the god's arrival ceremony!
When the "Truth Symposium" came to their door, and the God's presence ceremony of the Church of Desire was completely completed. Under the blessing of the gods, when they faced the battle with confidence, they never thought about what they would face next.
Not only were a group of believers turned upside down by the practitioners of the Truth Seminar, but even the altar where the god's presence ceremony was arranged was broken into.
At this moment, Yuan Bu made an astonishing move for you.
"No! Devil, you devil—"
Amidst everyone's horrified and desolate screams, the young man in a black robe and a crow mask gently stretched out his palm. From each of the Desire believers, there are illusory and invisible threads of faith floating over.
Wasn't it for? Get all of them into the palm of your hand.
That is the invisible connection between them and the god of desire in the state of "God's Presence", and only in this state can there be such a close connection between believers and gods, enough to make Yuan Not for? Follow the vine.
Looking along the threads of faith, the mighty torrent of faith rushes straight into the sky and sinks into the distant void.
Why not? Pull hard: "Come here!"
Along the invisible silk thread of faith, an extremely terrifying force burst out from Yuan Buwei, dragging the existence in the void at the other end of the thread.
His action? It was too sudden, and his own personality also suppressed the opponent. Under the blessing of Dao, he suddenly pulled him over!
boom! ! !
It was as if a fishing rod had caught a giant whale in the deep sea, and many winds and waves were set off. The giant whale smashed through the waves all the way, and was pulled to the surface of the ocean forcefully by him.
At this moment, the barriers of the world were broken, and a deep and endless vortex rose above the manor. From the other end of the vortex, there was the sound of an ancient void beast terrified.
The whole world seemed to be shattered.
—Existence like this beyond the world's personalities can only come in the form of an incarnation. It is absolutely impossible for their bodies to enter the small world.
Why not? If it continues, it is likely? It is to let the world be smashed into pieces.
And at this moment, a burst of extremely weak fluctuations blew across the sky. It was the movement of this small world, or? It was the consciousness of the world.
This kind of cooperation has been carried out many times, and the victims are even more numerous. The coming of heaven is very timely and skillful. Heyuan Buwei? Together, they are like two old fritters who are proficient in sharing the spoils while cheating.
In the violently spreading wind, the young man's pitch-black robe danced wildly. He looked up at the vortex, and blackness spread out from his pupils: "-Sacrifice!"
"A usurper who disrupts order,"
"Weavers who change the rules,"
"The indeterminate principle of always chasing change,"
"The original cause of all future creation?..."
"I take an evil god from outside the void as a sacrifice, summon the most primitive consciousness of the world, and guide the way for your arrival!"
