The Pope stood there and called for a long time without seeing Bowen and others turn back, so he had no choice but to give up.
He was expressionless, but there was a sinister light in his eyes. The three men who insisted on staying by his side were seriously injured and were lying on the ground at this time, resting. He stared at them like a venomous snake staring at its prey, and when the ominous feeling arose among the three, he hurried over and slashed their necks with a sharp dagger.
Bright red blood flows everywhere, and will soon attract dark beasts and demonic plants. He was not worried at all, and slowly drew a magic circle on the ground, using blood as a guide to open the magic circle.
Black magic energy emerged from the formation's eyes and condensed into a human-shaped phantom. Gradually, the phantom turned into a real body, revealing a face that was extremely handsome and also extremely evil.
If Bowen and others were still here, they would definitely recognize each other. He was Duke Hubert who sent Bo'er to the Forest of Spirits.
"I didn't expect that the Pope of the Central Temple was calling me, this is really surprising!" The man cracked his red lips and laughed softly, as if he found this situation very interesting.
The Pope did not feel embarrassed or ashamed, and he was willing to pay any price to regain his power. He bent down slightly and pleaded, "Hello, Dark God, I am calling you from humble beginnings, please listen to my prayer."
"If I fulfill your wish, what can you exchange for it?" The man raised his eyebrows with interest.
"I am willing to dedicate my soul to you and become your eternal servant. Moreover, I can help you win the dark war!" The Pope said firmly.
"Oh? Do you think you have any ability to lead a war between two gods?" The man almost didn't laugh out loud. No one knows better than him what the so-called dark war is. It is just a game played by a certain god king.
The Pope considered for a moment and explained his plan.
The man's expression changed from casual to serious, to surprised, and when the Pope finished speaking, he felt admiration for him. As expected of a mortal who once obtained a trace of divine power from the God King, there is indeed something special about him. He said that someone who can be held by the God King with all his strength is definitely not a good thing.
He even tried to let the Dark God inject his soul into Joshua's body and replace Joshua, and then he would become the Pope again, standing at the pinnacle of power on the mainland. When the God of Light takes him to the shrine, he will secretly deliver news for the God of Darkness, and it is not impossible for him to kill God when necessary.
This idea is too bold, too arrogant, and too vicious, even men find it amazing.
He laughed and clapped his hands, "Herman, you are talented, no wonder God... The God of Light once valued you so much. It's a pity that you don't come to my dark temple to be a priest."
"So did you agree?" The Pope looked expectant.
"Give me your soul and I'll take you to Joshua." The man held out his hand.
The Pope was overjoyed, and immediately fell to his knees, letting the man suck out his soul from the top of his head without any resistance. His soul is pure black, intertwined with all kinds of dirty and sinful thoughts and noisy desires, and its evil degree is not much worse than that of monsters.
The man watched in amazement for a while, then threw him into a soul orb.
Herman thought that if he stayed in the Soul Orb for a period of time, he would get a perfect and powerful body, but he was wrong, this is not an ordinary Soul Orb, but a refining Soul Orb, the feeling of being continuously burned by the fire of hell. It was so painful that he screamed bitterly, "Let me out! Dark God, you don't believe in your words! Helping me means helping yourself, don't you have a brain?"
"Monsters have no such thing as credibility." The man scratched the back of his head and said helplessly, "I forgot to tell you that although I am the god of darkness, there is still a god of destruction above me. His vocation is higher than mine, and his strength is higher than I'm stronger, and I don't dare to provoke him."
The man disappeared into a black mist, leaving behind four rapidly decomposing corpses.
Bowen and others followed closely behind the convoy, and they jumped out to clean up when they encountered a dark beast or a demon plant. They were more responsible than the escort of the Sagaya Empire.
During this period, priest Joshua also looked up at them a few times, but his eyes were too indifferent, as if he was watching several moving objects. Every time Bowen looked at him, he would suppress his anxiety and tell himself: Wait, now is not the time to speak.
Finally, priest Joshua picked up the statue of God the Father and began to pray every day. His eyes are closed, his face is peaceful, and his indifferent temperament is replaced by tenderness and amiability in the blink of an eye.
Bowen immediately jumped from the treetops and stood waiting outside the carriage. The guide and several warriors were afraid of interrupting the priest's prayer, so they could only glared at him and did not dare to fight with him.
Zhou Yun Sheng opened his eyes and saw Bowen sitting opposite him, with a pleading expression on his face.
He smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you back?"
This gentle expression and tone made Bowen feel more at ease, he said straight to the point, "I want to invite you to the clan of elves and orcs as a guest, and I want you to help us see who sent Bo'er to my clan. Is Duke Hubert human?"
"Bao'er is indeed with you." Zhou Yun Sheng thought for a moment and then shook his head, "I don't want to be in contact with people that God Father hates, so I won't go there. I remember that you are a priest of light at the peak of the saints, it is impossible to connect with them. Monsters can't be identified." A lighting spell can solve this problem.
"But if the other party is a demon king, or a higher-level existence, even if there are ten bright priests of the peak of the saint, I am afraid there is no way to identify. You are different from us. I can see that there is a trace of golden light in your eyes. , that is divine power, no monster of any level can escape your eyes." Bowen smiled bitterly.
Another few days have passed, and the forest of elves has been swallowed by two-thirds of the devil energy. Such a fast speed is unheard of, which makes him deeply suspect that the monsters lurking in the clan may not be as simple as the devil king.
A higher-level existence than the Demon King? Dark God! ? Zhou Yun Sheng was secretly surprised, but soon thought that Bao'er was indeed having an affair with the Dark God, and that the other party's identity in the mortal world seemed to be the Duke of a certain empire, so he was not surprised.
can not go! Must stay away from BoA and Gongjun! The sensible one reminded him in his heart.
Nao Cansheng felt the same way, but just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he heard Bowen say, "And this way, only our family has built a temple of light. Priest Joshua hasn't prayed in the temple for a long time, right?"
While prayer can be done anywhere, prayers done in the temple are more likely to be heard by God the Father. Because he stayed in carriages and in the wild all the way, and was protected by someone anytime and anywhere, Nao Cansheng hadn't seen Father God for a long time.
As long as he thinks that he might be able to meet God Father in the temple, even if there is a sea of swords and flames in front of him, he must go.
"Okay, I'll go with you." He nodded firmly, almost fainting in anger in his subconscious Rational Sheng.
Bowen was overjoyed, and hurriedly guided the convoy to rush towards the clan.
Passing through the barrier formed by a fog, the common clan of the elves and the orcs is in sight. The once dreamy beauty has been replaced by depression, and plants that cannot get enough nutrients from the ground are all shriveled, their leaves are unhealthy yellow, and the fruit is no longer as sweet as before.
This makes the vegetarian elves very distressed.
The number of demon beasts that have not been infected by demonic energy is becoming more and more rare, and the orcs who mainly eat meat are also suffering from hunger.
Although it is not life-threatening, from a spiritual point of view, they are about to be defeated, and every elf or orc passing by has a hidden feeling of confusion in their eyes.
"High priest, you are back. Who is this?" A female elf with a bow and arrow came over.
"This is Priest Joshua." Berwin said respectfully.
"Is it Joshua from the Sajaya Empire?" The female elf's face suddenly became sharp, she took off the bow and arrow and pulled it to full string, and said solemnly, "If it is him, then he is the enemy of elves and orcs! Why did you bring him with him? return?"
Several elves and orcs who traveled with Bowen hurriedly stood in front of the boy, shouting not to be impulsive. Bowen put up his light shield and explained in a good voice. The elves never hide anything from their own clansmen. He didn't even think about it and told the boy's true identity, but he forgot that the boy was still listed as an enemy by the two clans.
Saving the mother tree is equivalent to saving the entire elves. They owe Baoer too much, and they are naturally willing to do anything for him, including revenge.
The mastery of the body has returned to Ring Sheng, but he does not have the kindness of Nao Can Sheng, so he walks back with a sneer. When he entered the temple, he might be voted by the goddess of light, and he felt suffocated when he thought about it, and wished to disappear immediately.
"Priest Joshua, please stay!" Bowen was anxious, and while blocking the angry elves with a light shield, he shouted at the boy's back.
With white hair and blue eyes, she has a more beautiful appearance than an elf. That's right, it's Joshua of the Sajaya Empire! Hearing Bowen's cry, a burly orc looked over with hatred.
He instantly turned into a huge winged tiger, opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards the boy. He is the prince of the Orcs who was rescued by Bo'er. He has an unspeakable affection for Bo'er. For Bo'er, let alone murder, he can even risk his life.
The people of the Sajaya Empire and the Grand Duchy of Danados were very angry and immediately took out their weapons to fight.
Seeing that a bloody conflict was about to happen, a huge net made of golden rays of light fell from the sky, covering the elves and orcs who were screaming and killing.
The rational Zhou Yunsheng is more ruthless than anyone else. With a flick of his finger, countless sharp light thorns grow out of the net of light, piercing into the flesh of these elves and orcs. Even the warriors of the orc race whose bodies have been tempered into copper walls and iron walls cannot resist. Light thorn damage. They were covered in bruises and blood, and looked miserable.
Zhou Yun Sheng still felt that it was not enough, he moved his fingertips slightly, and shot a golden flame at it.
"Please don't!" Bowen was horrified. He had seen the power of this flame, and knew that it was no different from the divine fire that burns all things.
"Who dares to kill our clansmen in the clan of elves and orcs?" An unusually handsome man came over. He was wearing a light blue robe, a crown made of branches and flowers on his head, and his emerald green eyes were full of anger. and prestige.
He is very powerful, and he came to the front almost in the blink of an eye, catching the small flame with the palm of his hand. But the next moment, he lost his usual grace and composure, drooping his arms with a painful expression.
I saw that the flame easily penetrated his palm and landed on an elf in the light net, making him a fireball rolling all over the ground. His shrill screams startled the birds on the tree, and also stunned the elves and orcs trapped with him.
"This is... Shenhuo!" The Elf King murmured as he stared at his pierced palm, turbulent in his heart. God the Father will never give the divine fire to a mortal. What is the relationship between Joshua and God the Father
However, before he could think deeply, the elf burned by the golden flame lay on the ground, motionless, and his breathing and heartbeat stopped.
"Even if you have divine fire, you will have to pay for killing my clan!" The Elf King raised his scepter and chanted a spell.
The explosive wind blade formed a huge vortex in the sky above the clan, and made a deafening whistling sound. If it was involved in the center of the wind blade, I am afraid that even the slag would not be left. Facing the 18-year-old boy, the Elf King did not dare to take it lightly, and used the strongest forbidden technique right away.
Zhou Yunsheng's long platinum-blond hair fluttered in the wind, and it looked like he would be sucked into the vortex at any time, but he was not nervous at all. He pointed to the gradually extinguished flame and said, "See clearly, is that your clan?"
The orc closest to the corpse let out a terrified cry. I saw that what lay there was not an elves at all, but a scorched monster. Because it was howling before it died, its mouth was wide open, revealing a snake-like forked tongue and sharp teeth, its front and back claws twisted at a strange angle, and its sharp nails dig deep into its body. , with a slender tail growing behind him.
"Monster? When did O'Brien become a monster? This is impossible! You must have cast some evil spell to frame him!" An elf in the light net roared angrily.
However, before he could finish shouting, a thick magical energy suddenly emerged from the surface of the corpse, corroding the corpse into black juice and seeping into the ground. The shape of the corpse can be changed with magic, but the magic hidden inside cannot be faked.
The trapped elves and orcs forgot the pain, and crawled away from the black land. It's terrifying, they've been in and out with a monster these days!
The Elf King immediately withdrew the forbidden spell, spitting out a mouthful of blood because of his unsteady mind. The Beast Emperor, who was standing beside him, hurried over to check the situation.
The surprise and fear in their hearts cannot be described in words.
Zhou Yun Sheng sneered coldly, "Monsters feed on the darkness hidden in their hearts, and use it to breed. The darker the heart, the easier it is to be parasitized by monsters, which is why humans are most favored by monsters, and the forest of elves has only magic plants. And the reason for the dark beast. But today I realized that I was wrong, and the heart of the elves has been corrupted by darkness and become no longer pure. This is really disappointing to me. "
He looked at the more and more elves and orcs with contempt, and when he saw their expressions of humiliation, he felt happy, raised his index finger, and cast a powerful illumination technique.
This is a spell that can identify monsters. It can only be used on one person at a time. If you want to condense a light group that illuminates a few miles, it is equivalent to creating a small sun. In this world, I am afraid that only the God of Light can do it.
But the young man not only did it, but also easily. He raised his hand, slowly held the bright ball of light up to the sky, and said, "Look at yourselves, is it still the same as before?"
Under the shining golden light, all elves and orcs were invisible. Moreover, the teenager also condensed a light mirror in front of them, so that they could not only see others clearly, but also themselves.
Two more monsters were discovered. They wanted to escape but fell to the ground because of the light of the Holy Light. There are also some elves and orcs whose brows are covered with a slightly wriggling magical energy, as if they are looking for the evil thoughts hidden in their brains. Once they are found, they will drill into their bodies along the trace of evil thoughts, slowly grow and replace them.
Bowen has never been so frightened as he is now, because he found that even the eyebrows of the elf king and the beast king were shrouded in demonic energy. If their minds are not firm enough, they will be parasitized next, and the elves and orcs will be completely in disaster. This is terrible!
He quickly turned his head to check, and found that most of the clansmen who were contaminated with demonic energy were very close to Boer Bright, which meant it was self-evident. Either Boa Bright itself is a monster, or Duke Hubert who brought him back is a devil, or a god of darkness.
Bao'er saved the mother tree, but also brought disaster to the two clans. He also turned his back on his father and turned to the dark camp. No amount of kindness can offset the crimes he committed. He and Hubert must be found and killed!
Bowen gritted his teeth.
After everyone recognized each other's true colors, Zhou Yun Sheng retracted the ball of light in the sky and the flame of light on the ground, and led the guards to turn around and leave. He has no interest in getting involved in the strife.
No, I'm going to the temple! Nao Cansheng heard the call of God the Father, and immediately pressed Ring Sheng into his subconscious and regained his body.
His ruthless expression instantly turned into compassion, took out the scepter from the space ring, and performed a super-large purification technique. The dazzling golden light enveloped the entire clan, and drove out all the demonic energy attached to elves, orcs, plants, land, and lakes.
When the golden light dissipated, the elves and orcs who were contaminated by demonic energy felt much clearer-minded, the withered trees, grass, and flowers regained their vitality.
This power that purifies all things is undoubtedly divine!
"Thank you for the gift of God the Father, and thank you priest Joshua for his generosity and kindness!" Bowen wept with joy. The elves and orcs who had yelled at the young man before were extremely ashamed, and they rushed up to apologize.
The youth's strength is so powerful that it even far exceeds their high priest. Not to mention the position of bishop of an empire, even the position of pope, if he wants to, he is fully qualified for that. He didn't need any intrigue at all. And he was so kind and generous, not at all what Boa Bright described.
Although elves and orcs are ignorant of the world, it does not mean that they are fools. They gradually sensed the clue and began to look for Boa Bright and Duke Hubert in the crowd.
"They went out hunting with Bell in the morning and haven't come back yet." Someone said loudly.
"Don't alarm him, wait for him to come back. If you can, please pretend that nothing happened." Only then did Berwin realize how inappropriate it was for him to bring Joshua directly into the clan. He should first discuss with the king and the beast emperor before acting secretly.
While thinking about it, he looked at the gloomy and dazed King and Beast King, and felt that it would be better to bring them in directly. The brains of these two had been eroded by demonic energy before, and they would join forces to kill Joshua without listening to any explanation.
Nao Cansheng completed the mission that a priest of light should complete, and said softly, "Where is your shrine? I want to pray to God Father."
"Please come with me." Bowen left his clan and bowed to lead the way.
The Elf King and the Beast King supported each other and sat down, and they looked at each other and only felt terrified and ashamed. The elves and orcs have long known how monsters are conceived, and because of this, they are extremely disgusted with the dark-hearted human beings. But they never imagined that they were almost parasitized by monsters.
This means that ulterior dark thoughts have arisen in their hearts. No one knows better than them what the source of this darkness is.
Boa Bright, you are not a messenger of light, but a devil from the abyss, you lure us down! The two thought in pain.
Bowen sent the person to the gate of the temple, and he was blocked by a layer of golden light as soon as he stepped up the steps. what happened? Who put a barrier around the temple? He was taken aback.
He covered the barrier with his slightly trembling palm, trying to resolve it with the power of light, but saw Priest Joshua walk in without hindrance. He stood at the door for a long time, took a few steps forward and then stepped back, as if struggling.
After a few minutes, he sighed and walked in slowly.
"Father, is that you?"
"Who else can I have? Come to me."
"Have you heard my prayers along the way?"
"Of course, I'm looking at you all the time, listening to you, I've never taken my eyes off you, you're my most treasured treasure. Come into my arms, Joshua. , let me give you a good hug..."
As the effect of the enchantment increased, the voice of the conversation gradually disappeared. Bowen stood in the same place, and a thought echoed in his mind-it turns out that the voice of God the Father is so gentle and beautiful! It turns out that God the Father loves Joshua so much that he has been watching him from heaven!
Ok? keep looking at him? !
A scoop of cold water chilled Bowen down. This means that the elves and orcs took in Boa and Hubert the Father already knew. Elves and orcs have stronger physique, higher talent for fighting spirit and magic, and even more priests of light than humans. They have always been the favorite race of the gods.
But now, these two races took in Boa and the Demon King, and turned their weapons on Joshua, the real messenger of the gods.
Bowen covered his face and groaned, almost foreseeing the future of the two races being rejected by the Father. He thought: he must quickly discuss with the king and the beast emperor, and see how to redeem those sins and obtain the forgiveness of the father. The coercion of God the Father flooded the entire forest, and Hubert and Boa were probably not coming back.
