Chapter 1528 The Secret Under the Night

Night has fallen on this magic city, the bright brilliance of magic spar lamps shines on the streets and squares, and the quiet starry sky hangs high in the sky, covering the surrounding fields, but under the starlight, the colorful nightlife of the Cecilians The curtain has just kicked off—the lively night market, the pubs and theaters open until the early morning, the neural network immersion station that is always brightly lit, all kinds of modern entertainment enrich the leisure time of people in this era, and make the city Always maintain a kind of sleepless freshness.

However, in the southern part of the city, a strange tranquility covers the entire block.

The entire church district has been locked down.

Trial monks and nuns from the Theocracy set up sentries in front of each church, and security forces set up conspicuous warning signs and interception facilities at the entrances and exits of the blocks. During the day and afternoon, a number of heavy trucks drove into the church area, and they brought A high-power anti-divine barrier generator, and now a powerful protective barrier has enveloped all church facilities.

Under the quiet night sky, the shimmering light projected by the force field generator formed hazy beams of light in the air, and under each beam of light, there was a fully armed Arbitration Tribunal Knight Commander personally leading a trial squad to guard.

Under the dim light of high-power magic devices, in the silent and deep night, the trial monks and nuns watched every movement of each church with vigilant eyes. The heavy mechanical power hammers in their hands and the steel containing various combat spells The Codex is the earthly gospel they wield, the cold and powerful steel that enables the formidable Councilors to guard the boundaries of mortal sanity from the shadow of the gods, and such protection is even more necessary tonight.

In front of the Temple of the Three Gods of Abundance, a judge knight commander wearing pure white armor looked up at the direction of the main building, and there was a "Gospel Messenger" battle tank that was just deployed from the Holy Light Arsenal standing at the main entrance In front of this formidable chariot, several technical monks can be seen adjusting equipment and monitoring all movements in the direction of the temple.

Slight footsteps came from the side, and a trial nun with short silver hair came to the side of the knight commander. She glanced at the direction of the temple and said in a low voice: "Just now there was a message from the upper level of the council, asking the priests to do more A prayer test—this time to test high-level divine arts, this is the advice given by the advisory group."

"Do another test?" Under the cover of the heavy helmet, the knight commander's voice sounded very dull, "Didn't you just test it an hour ago... Well, since this is an order, please invite the priests in the temple Work harder."

The nun with short silver hair lowered her head slightly: "Yes."

Inside the temple, a high-ranking deacon was sitting anxiously on a bench. There were sacred books spread out in front of him, but he couldn't read any of the words on the books at this time. The compatriots were also sitting and resting on nearby benches, but everyone seemed tense.

On the one hand, this tense mood of course came from the heavy pressure brought by the monks of the Theocratic Council who blocked the entire church area, and on the other hand, it stemmed from the worry about the state of the gods.

Ordinary people are worried about the safety of gods. In the past, people would laugh at this kind of thing if they said it. However, for high-ranking priests who know a little bit about the truth and at the same time know the vision in the temple, this kind of worry is very important. But it's real.

"Don't worry too much," a soft voice came from the side. A gentle woman in a plain robe had come to the bench at some point. She saw the nervousness of the high-ranking deacon, so she smiled and comforted her. "The Theocratic Council is not a vicious enemy, they are the arms of His Majesty, the guardians of the world, and they are also trying to protect the church at the moment-this is actually a good thing, the council responded quickly but did not arrest anyone, which shows that the matter is not yet clear. in control."

The high-ranking deacon got up and saluted, and then spread his hands with a wry smile: "I know, Your Excellency, the knight commander also said before that this is probably just a false alarm overnight, but the scene in the garden of harvest is really horrifying. From time to time, the pictures I saw before flashed through my mind... Those traces on the ground always make me unable to bear it..."

"Don't think too much, don't recall, don't question, you are a pious person, so it is more clear where the real test is at this time - thousands of prayers in good times are not a test, and prayers in adversity The true heart is the true power of a believer." The woman in a plain robe shook her head slightly, and put her hand on the shoulder of the high-ranking deacon, "I am also responsible for this matter. After the notification, I should be more vigilant, and I shouldn't let you stay in Harvest Court for so long."

"No, Your Excellency the Holy Maiden, don't say that, it is my responsibility to be shaken," the senior deacon hurriedly waved his hands, "I understand what you mean and what I should do, so you don't have to worry."

"That's good," the manager of the Temple of Harvest nodded slightly, but couldn't help but add a few words, "If you feel unbearable, go to the side hall to rest for a while, the psychological counselor sent by the council Also over there, or go to the neural network to relax, now is not a sacramental period, proper entertainment and relaxation does not violate the will of the three goddesses."

The senior deacon hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Thank you for your concern, then I will go to the side hall to rest."

The high-ranking deacon left, and the Holy Maiden of Abundance sighed softly. She looked back at the high platform of the icon at the end of the long hall, and saw the icons of the Three Goddesses of Abundance standing quietly on the platform, bathed in magic crystals. The faint radiance sprinkled, the half-human, half-deer figures of the goddesses are as elegant and beautiful as ever, and the garlands, wheat ears and wine vessels presented by devout believers are clustered around the holy statues, maintaining an immortal state .

After confirming that the objects around the icon were still affected by the miraculous power, and there was no sign of decay, the saint of abundance felt a little relaxed. She lowered her head and softly recited the words recorded in the holy scriptures, flaxen curly hair fell from her cheeks. The sides hang down——until the sound of metal boots stepping on the ground suddenly broke the silence in the long hall, she suddenly raised her head to look in the direction of the sound.

A trial nun with short silver-white hair and a staff of battle was walking towards this side through the rows of benches in the long hall, with a serious expression on her face.

The Holy Maiden of Abundance immediately stepped forward, saluted with church etiquette and asked, "What happened?"

"We need you to pray again, a prayer that clearly points to high-level divine spells," the silver-haired nun said with a serious face, "It is not necessary to completely release the divine spells, but I hope you can tell me all your feelings during the prayer process .”

"Do you need to pray again?" The saint was a little surprised, but quickly nodded, "I understand."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went straight to the statue of the three goddesses at the end of the long hall, bowed her head and began to recite the sacred prayers.

As a "pure person" who grew up in the temple since childhood, piety has become a part of this lady's heart like breathing, and her powerful spiritual talent allows her to easily arouse the three gods of abundance without any pressure. In the soft and gentle prayer syllables, the air around this lady visibly floated layers upon layers, and some kind of vast, powerful yet gentle force emanated from her body, like spring and Warm sunlight spread under its feet.

This is the power bestowed by the three gods of abundance, and it is a miraculous magic that can reverse the logic of reality in a small area. It can even make acres of barren land lush in winter, or make stones germinate, and dead trees Green—but the nuns of the council have already stated that only one test is needed, and the decoration of the temple floor is very expensive, so the saint of abundance ended the guidance of the magic spell before it really took shape, and then she let out a sigh , to calm down his breath.

"It seems that the magic is working normally. Your three goddesses should be in good condition now." The judge nun with short silver hair nodded slightly. "Thank you very much for your cooperation. Do you feel any strange during the prayer?"

The Holy Maiden of Abundance did not immediately answer the nun's question. She seemed to be in a daze. She was looking down at her hands in doubt. The curly hair hanging from both sides of her cheeks blocked her expression, but the silver-haired nun at the side had already noticed that this tall The situation of the high-ranking clergyman seemed not quite right, her finger was calmly placed near the trigger of the staff, and her other hand was at the position where she could touch the emergency call at any time: "Ma'am, you feel strange Is it?"

"I..." The Holy Maiden of Abundance finally woke up, she slowly raised her head, her expression did not seem to be in an abnormal mental state, but her tone was full of anxiety and confusion, "I don't know, I just feel... emptiness and silence ..."

"Emptiness and silence?" The trial nun immediately frowned, she judged that the saint in front of her was not spiritually polluted by the gods, but her finger did not move away from the trigger, "Please describe in detail what you felt If there are any abnormal memory fragments or sudden auditory and visual hallucinations in the recall process, please try to send me the signal as much as possible.”

"Please don't worry, I'm sober, I'm not polluted, I'm just a little confused, something... incomprehensible happened," the Holy Maiden of Abundance noticed the unusually serious expression on the face of the silver-haired nun in front of her, and she shook her head quickly. Shaking his head, he replied seriously, "I prayed to the goddess, but I didn't feel the gentle and loving response in the past, and I didn't have any feeling of being watched by God in my heart. This kind of thing has never happened.

"Sister, although it is a bit boastful to say this, I am a natural chosen one. Although I have never reached the height of 'God's Chosen' and have no ability to directly listen to the oracle, I can at least feel the goddess' gaze, especially It's time to pray for high-level magic."

"But your divine spell is working normally," the silver-haired nun said seriously, "The god answered your prayer accurately, as always."

"Yes, the divine spell took effect, and the gods gave the power immediately, but I didn't feel their... temperature during this process. I know it's hard to understand, because the normal process of performing divine spells itself I won't have this special feeling, but..."

The saint seemed a little flustered, she shouldn't have lost her position so easily, but the abnormal reaction from the root of her belief and the tension of the entire church area being blocked made her stressed, but at least she was still sane— She chose to tell the "professionals" in front of her all the clues she had noticed, instead of hiding them because of the estrangement and conservativeness in her heart.

At the same time, in other churches, shrines, and temples in the entire church area, the same test is being carried out everywhere, and high-ranking priests and chosen people who have strong spiritual talents and can communicate with the gods to a certain extent have begun Pray, under the supervision of the Theocratic Council, use this indirect method to try to spy on the changes in the kingdom of God.

...

The invisible wind swept across the endless gray-white desert, and the unchanging pale sky covered the majestic mountain-like throne. Suddenly, some powerful force shook this eternal space, with strong winds, flying sand and dust, gray-white The fine sand flew up, forming a huge vortex in the air. Immediately afterwards, a gigantic figure stepped out of the vortex, floating across the sand sea like a dark cloud, and walked towards the throne.

Behind this figure, the astonishingly large dust vortex did not dissipate immediately, the power of the anchor point generator kept it going for several seconds before gradually disintegrating, and between the gradually disintegrating gray-white sandstorm, there was still The strange and exotic scenery can be vaguely seen, it seems to be a palace shrouded in a magnificent light curtain, but the top of the palace shows a collapsed and damaged scene, and this scene only lasted for a moment, and then gradually dissipated due to the complete disintegration of the sand and dust vortex .

At the same time, at the last moment before the vortex completely dissipated, another vague voice came from the wind, as if an extremely weak person was trying to speak: "...Thank you."

The huge figure who had already arrived in front of the throne didn't look back, but only waved his hands in response. He didn't turn around until he confirmed that the anchor point generator had completely closed the passage, glanced at the direction where the dust vortex disappeared, and then dragged on. Sitting back on the throne with his tired body, he took a deep breath.

After taking a short breath, he casually picked up the black and white scepter in his hand and shook it, before looking at the small stone pillar in front of the throne: "Did anything happen while I was away?"

"Nothing has changed," Wilde's voice came from the top of the stone pillar, "By the way, were those two blows just now the blood on the stick?"

Ms. Ye waved her hand: "I cleaned it up before I came back—and I'm not a stick, I'm a scepter."

Wilder: "..."

"Your silence is very problematic, Mr. Great Adventurer," Ms. Ye looked at the big black book on the stone pillar with a half-smile, "I remember that you would ask this question very curiously when I came back a few times ago. So, why didn't you ask anything this time?"

"I've asked all the questions I should ask, and you've answered all the questions I can answer. I didn't ask any questions and you didn't answer them. It's almost a guess. What else can I ask?" Wilder muttered casually, "You I opened the passage more than a dozen times in a row, and every time I went out and came back, I was full of killing spirit. Sometimes there would be a little 'scene' leaked from the other side of the passage. Although I didn't dare to look at it, I accidentally spotted it It's scary to look at it twice - for the sake of my mental health, I'd better not ask more questions."

Ms. Ye looked down at Wilder on the stone pillar from the sky. There seemed to be a smile in her amber eyes, but she didn't say anything, and he seemed to be in a good mood. After resting for a few minutes, it was he who took the initiative to break. Silence: "Right now, I have basically done everything I can do."

"May I ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Look, you still can't help asking," Ms. Ye laughed happily, seeming to enjoy this moment very much, "Mr. Adventurer, let me tell you a secret, this secret may surprise you. "

"A secret that can scare me? Ma'am, with all due respect—is there a secret that scares people more than 'Ms. Ye sweeps the gods'?"

"It sounds like your mentality has been tempered very well recently, and you are not too fussy about ordinary things," Ms. Ye lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "but if I tell you...under a certain stricter standard, Am I actually a mortal?"
