In the early morning, a slightly cool sea breeze blew in from outside the fortress, ruffling the loose hair on Tianyang's forehead.
The young man looked up and saw the simple church of the Lord of War not far away, bathed in platinum light. The holy emblem on the church reflected various colors of light in the sun, showing its holiness.
Walk into the church.
In the church, believers were sitting in rows of chairs in groups of three or four, praying.
But today, there was no priest or minister presiding over the sermon in the chapel.
Tianyang passed the church and entered the parish through the door next to it. The parish was as quiet as ever, and even when a priest passed by, everyone would walk lightly, fearing that the silence would be broken.
The boy came to the war hall and opened the door. There was a middle-aged priest in the hall, sorting something behind the desk.
Tian Yang went over: "Hello, I want to consult you."
The middle-aged priest raised his round face and smiled warmly when he saw the temple mark on Tianyang's chest: "Good morning, respected temple, how can I help you?"
Tian Yang directly took out the Dawn and said somewhat embarrassedly: "I exchanged this weapon before, but after actual combat, I felt that it did not blend well with my fighting style."
“I want to ask if I can return it?”
The priest with a round face chuckled and said, "I have been in office for more than ten years and have never handled anything like this. Besides, it is not easy to handle the merit record."
"How about this, you can choose another weapon and I will replace it for you. Is that okay with you?"
Tianyang thought about it and decided, "That's fine," he said, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble."
The middle-aged priest took out an electronic board, tapped the shield, activated the interface, called up the list, and placed it in front of Tianyang: "This is the weapons our branch diocese currently has. Take a look. If you like any of them, just tell me."
He took the Dawn and said, "As for this one, I'll put it in the warehouse first. You can take your time to choose."
"OK."
Tianyang took the electronic board, walked to the corner of the hall, sat down and started flipping through it.
The branch of the Skyfort didn't have many weapons, only about ten in total. However, the appearance of these weapons was varied, including swords, guns, amulets, rings... none of them were the same.
It was still early to read the Book of Secret Covenants, so Tianyang was not in a hurry and looked at the list carefully.
White Gloves: Infused with star energy, able to 'grasp' anything from a distance, can activate the ability 'Holy Prison' to create a prison constructed of sacred light to block the target's actions, and has special effects on the people of darkness.
Exchange merit: 4000.
... ... .
Exorcist Pistol: Infused with star essence and transformed into holy bullets, it can have an 'exile' effect on energy-type evil people, activate the exorcist array inside the gun body, and launch a 'holy strike' to create a powerful attack.
Exchange merit: 4500.
... ... .
Light Ring: Infused with star essence, it will release holy light, weakening and expelling dark particles within the range. It can create a light field, suppress the power of the black people in the field, and selectively launch the "Holy Light Pillar" on a single black person. Note that after using the Holy Light Pillar, the light field will be lifted.
Exchange Merit: 6000.
... ... .
Tianyang looked through the weapons on the list and saw that the church
These items are basically weapons developed against the people of darkness.
Continue scrolling down.
Suddenly, a weapon appeared in Tianyang's sight.
Moonlight: A long sword made of moonstone produced in the 93rd Reverse Realm. After being infused with star essence, the sword body is looming and difficult to detect. It can activate two abilities, "New Moon" and "Full Moon". The former transforms the star essence into a crescent stream of light to defend against the enemy; the latter releases a moon field, and the target in the field will be eroded by the moon power. If not dealt with in time, the organs and even the body will collapse.
In addition, when the holder is in a moonlit field, the movement will become unpredictable due to the reflection of the moonlight.
Exchange merit: 12000.
... ... .
When Tianyang saw this weapon, a voice sounded in his heart: This is it!
Compared with other weapons, this 'Moonlight' is more in line with his job characteristics. Just then, the middle-aged priest came back, Tianyang returned the electronic board, and asked to exchange it for 'Moonlight'.
A moment later, a long box dotted with cyan crystals was placed in front of Tianyang. The young man opened it and found a long sword inside the box.
The sword body and scabbard are placed separately.
The Moonlight Sword is a straight sword with a simple shape and no fancy decorations.
The blade, made of moonstone, was gray-blue in color, and was a far cry from the 'Dawn' in terms of appearance. If you hadn't seen the description on the list, you would have thought that the sword was about to rust at first glance.
The scabbard is also simple, but a crescent shape is chiseled out of the original moonstone and embedded in the scabbard. When light falls on it, the crescent will emit a faint fluorescent light.
Tianyang picked up the sword and tested it. It was just the right weight. He then injected star essence into it. The originally gray-blue blade became vague in the air, just like the moon hiding behind the clouds.
From time to time, one or two points of gray-blue fluorescence floated on the sword body, gently falling, giving the long sword a dreamy beauty.
Overall, Tianyang was more satisfied with this weapon than the Dawn. He put the sword into the scabbard and said to the middle-aged priest, "Let's take this!"
"no problem."
The priest with a round face said in a friendly manner: "I will just register here."
Tianyang nodded, took the Moonlight Sword and left.
Looking at the time, it was almost time, so Tianyang went straight to the library.
The library is much busier than usual.
As soon as Tianyang entered the door, he saw He Wenchi and three other priests in black robes.
Nuo Jin also arrived. This woman was quite normal at first, but as soon as she saw Tianyang, a mysterious blush appeared on her face and she began to tremble slightly with excitement.
"Everyone is here."
He Wenchi smiled and said, "Now, let the two saints start reading the Book of Secret Covenant."
The bespectacled priest nodded to several priests and said, "Please bring out the holy scriptures."
He waved to Tianyang and the other man again: "Come over here, both of you."
Tianyang and Nuojin walked to He Wenchi and found a yellow horizontal line under their feet.
He Wenchi put his hands behind his back and explained with a smile: "Before reading the scriptures, there are a few things I need to remind you of."
"First, please stand behind the ecliptic. Do not cross the ecliptic and do not touch the book directly."
"Secondly, please do not make any noise while reading so as not to disturb others, and do not make any movements for the same reason.
superior."
"Finally, due to your authority issues, only the first five chapters will be available today."
Tianyang and Nuojin stood together, just behind the ecliptic marked by the church. They saw several priests pushing an independent bookshelf and stopped about one meter away from Tianyang and the other.
He Wenchi stepped forward, drew the holy emblem on his chest, chanted the name of the Lord softly, and then untied the seal of the book.
The priest had a solemn expression and gentle movements as he carefully opened the cover of the Book of Secret Covenant, then turned sideways so that Tianyang and the others could see the contents of the book.
As for the priests, they stood behind the readers on either side to make sure they did not cross the ecliptic.
The Book of Secret Covenants is not very big at a distance of one meter. If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be difficult to see the contents of the book clearly without the help of any tools.
Fortunately, Tianyang and the other person are both sublimators, and their eyesight has naturally been enhanced during the sublimation process.
Even without the help of any tools, you can still see the words in the book clearly.
However, there is only one line of text on the title page below the cover: There are countless secrets hidden in the world of rebellion, and even if you spend your entire life, you can never know them all.
After a while, He Wenchi turned to another page.
This is the content of the first chapter.
'The Book of Secret Covenants.'
'Chapter 1: A world sliding into eternal night.'
'The reverse world is filled with a large number of dark particles. These dark energies penetrate deep into the bottom of the world and attach to all entities. Through pollution and distortion, the entire world is pulled into eternal night...'
... ... .
Every 5 minutes, He Wenchi would turn a page. Tianyang and Nuojin watched attentively, not wanting to miss any sentence or even a word.
This church holy book records the exploration of the Reverse World by the Church of the Lord of War for hundreds of years, and records the crystallization of knowledge they have gained from their exploration. For Tianyang, the contents of the book have further deepened his understanding of the Reverse World.
After more than half an hour, Tianyang finished reading the fifth chapter, and He Wenchi closed the Bible, which was put back in its place by the priest.
The first five chapters of "The Book of Secret Covenants" do not record any major secrets. Instead, they mainly explain some common knowledge about the reverse world.
Tian Yang already knew most of it, but not in detail. By reading the contents of the book, he strengthened his knowledge in this area.
However, there are some things that Tianyang doesn’t know.
For example, according to the records in the Book of Secret Covenants, the world behind the door of each differently numbered reverse world is different.
Some of the reverse realms are underwater worlds. After emerging from the Krave Gate, they directly came to the deep sea trench, and until now, the existence of land has not been discovered.
Some of the worlds with high technology have emerged. From the relics left by those civilizations, people have discovered countless technological means that surpass the present world. Most of them cannot be cracked, not even by the Sky Castle, which is recognized to have the highest level of technology, let alone replicated and used.
There are also some reverse worlds, which are the worlds of giants, where the black people are as huge as mountains.
Originally, Tian Yang thought that every Reverse Realm belonged to the same place. The hundreds of Klav Gates were just opened in different corners of that vast world.
But now it seems that is not the case.
The inverse worlds behind the Krave Gate are all independent worlds. No one knows what kind of disaster has happened to cause so many worlds to fall into darkness and slide into eternal night...
