Chapter 200: Holy Mark, Acceptance of Taboo

But Isabel is different. As a saint of the Church of Life, the magic she performs can directly cure aberrations.

Does this mean that Isabel has the ability to purify forbidden knowledge? !

Thinking of this, Chu Ming's mind began to get confused.

After a while, he broke free from the messy thoughts. He looked at the girl and forced himself to calm down, "Eat first, we will talk later."

Isabel nodded, holding the bowl in both hands, and drank in small sips.

After dinner time, Chu Ming took Isabel into the experiment.

The girl sat on the chair and looked at Chu Ming curiously.

Chu Ming found some crystals and asked the girl: "Isabel, how did you cure the deformation disease?"

The girl thought for a moment and whispered: "The high priest grandma won't let me tell anyone this secret, but if it is Mr. Wizard, the high priest grandma will not blame me."

Isabel stood up and turned her back to Chu Ming.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the red color instantly spread from her white collarbone to her cheeks. She took off her coat, revealing the straps of her long skirt and top, and said nervously: "Mr. Witch...Wizard, please help me untie the straps." bring."

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at the straps of Isabel's clothes behind her back. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and then retracted it.

"Mr. Wizard..."

Isabel's voice trembled slightly.

"I see."

Chu Ming took a deep breath, reached out and slowly untied the straps, revealing Isabel's fair and delicate back.

Looking along the delicate back, there was actually a faint mark emitting green light on it.

"What's this?!"

Chu Ming's pupils vibrated, and he seemed to feel a majestic and vital aura in them. This feeling he had only experienced when facing the majestic figure of the source divinity.

"Mr. Wizard..."

Isabel blushed and whispered a reminder.

Chu Ming came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I was too absorbed."

The girl hummed shyly.

Chu Ming hurriedly tied the straps back on. It took him several minutes. He touched his sweaty head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Isabel turned around, the blush still not completely gone from her cheeks.

"The grandma of the high priest said that the green mark is called a stigmata, and it was already there when I was born."

"She kept telling me not to tell anyone else, but..."

Isabel lowered her head, her eyes full of apology.

Chu Ming lowered his head and rubbed her golden hair, "It's okay. I believe High Priest Lysa will understand."

"Can I ask her about the stigmata?"

The girl nodded, "The high priest's grandma should be in the Earl of Jones now."

Chu Ming helped Isabel put on her coat and held her hand, "Follow me."

He stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain of night, and disappeared into the wizard's cabin with Isabel.

Ten minutes later, the two appeared in a dark forest.

With the appearance of the two people, the low roars of wild beasts came from the surroundings, and pairs of eyes appeared in the darkness.

Isabel frowned slightly, and her palms lit up.

With Isabel protecting him, Chu Ming entered the state of meditation with peace of mind and regained his energy.

Ten minutes later, Chu Ming stood up, held the girl's hand, and continued to teleport in the direction of Earl Jones.

The two teleported several times in succession. After crossing the Tianqi Mountains, they followed the light and found a town.

After asking the local knight for directions, he pulled the curtain of darkness and continued to teleport to the target.

Isabel, on the other hand, followed Chu Ming closely, enjoying the little time she spent with Chu Ming.

It was late at night, and Chu Ming finally arrived at the Earl of Jones in the mountains.

When the knights guarding the city saw someone coming in the middle of the night, their faces were full of vigilance.

The light in Isabel's hand lit up, illuminating her and Chu Ming's faces.

The knight captain was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something, and his face changed drastically, "Sir Narender, why are you here? What happened?"

Chu Ming and Isabel floated up to the city wall together. He glanced at the frightened knight and shook his head, "I'm just looking for someone."

"May I ask where High Priest Lysa of the Church of Life is now?"

The knight captain paused. He looked to the right of Chu Ming and instantly guessed the identity of the girl next to Chu Ming. He thought Chu Ming was here to ask for guilt, so he said with some fear: "The Lord has arranged for High Priest Lysa She has a house in the castle, but the high priest said she is not used to it, so her elders and the priests are living in temporary tents we arranged in the mining area."

"Don't worry, Sir Narender, we will try our best to meet the requirements of High Priest Lysa."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Just show me, I don't mean to blame you."

The knight captain breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked someone to arrange a carriage and personally sent Chu and Ming to the tent camp in the mining area.

…

Ten minutes later, Chu Ming helped the girl get out of the carriage. He looked toward the mining area and saw countless tents erected on the flat ground.

It was late at night, and most of the migrating people had fallen asleep, leaving only a few tents still lit.

The witches patrolling around saw someone approaching and hurried over.

After seeing that the people coming were Chu Ming and Isabel, they hurriedly saluted, "Lord Narender, Lord Isabel."

Chu Ming nodded towards them, "Is High Priest Lysa asleep?"

Several knights looked at each other, pointed to the big tent with the lights on in the southeast direction, and said, "The high priest is there. She seems to be still discussing something with the priests."

"Trouble..."

Chu and Ming walked over and soon arrived in front of the tent.

Two figures suddenly appeared outside the tent, and a priest walked out to check the situation.

"High Priest Isabel, Lord Narender?!"

The priest shouted in surprise. After hearing the movement, the priests inside also poked their heads out.

Isabel happily waved to the priests, "Is Grandma the High Priest in there?"

Maria walked out and smiled: "The high priest was just talking about you, and you came."

The girl smiled softly, "Actually, I brought Mr. Wizard here. I have something important to tell the high priest grandma."

Maria nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "Sir Narender, please come in."

Chu Ming nodded and entered the tent with Isabel.

Knowing that Chu Ming had something important to talk to High Priest Lysa, the priests did not stay any longer, but left the vicinity of the tent. Only Maria was guarding the door.

In the tent, the candles were burning and emitting a faint light. High Priest Lysa rubbed his cloudy eyes sleepily, then looked at Chu Ming and the two with a smile: "I guess you are here for the stigmata, right?" ?"

Isabel looked surprised and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandma High Priest, how do you know."

The old man smiled kindly and waved to the girl.

Isabel walked to High Priest Lysa and supported her.

The old man smiled and joked: "You, your soul has been taken away by others. Grandma, don't I understand you?"

The girl secretly glanced at Chu Ming and lowered her head.

The old man stroked Isabel's long golden hair and sighed, "Narende, actually I was hesitant to tell you. Now that Isabel has made her choice, I choose to believe her."

Chu Ming hurriedly sat down and said, "High Priest, please speak."

High Priest Lysa looked at Isabel with fond eyes, and slowly said: "Twenty years ago, I just took over the position of the previous high priest and started to manage the church."

"On that day, Maria picked up an abandoned baby from the door of the church."

The old man gradually fell into memories and smiled, "The baby was plump. He didn't cry or fuss in my arms. He looked extremely cute and very lovable. After thinking about it, Maria and I decided to put her Raised in the church.”

"But what surprised Maria and I was that this little baby seemed to be born with a sensitivity to divine magic. When she was three years old, she was already able to imitate other priests and release simple magical spells."

High Priest Lysa paused and asked Chu Ming: "Do you know where the power of the Life Church to release divine magic comes from?"

Chu Ming hesitated and replied: "Perhaps it is the same application principle as witchcraft."

The old man smiled slightly, "Whenever someone asks me about the source of the power of magic, I will ask him a question and ask him what he thinks."

"These people who ask me about the source of my magical power do not believe in the existence of magical power. They just want to confirm their inner speculations."

As he said this, a sly look flashed in the old man's eyes, "Every time at this time, I would show a distressed expression and say nothing, and they would believe what they were thinking in their hearts."

After hearing this, Chu Ming was shocked in his heart, "Could it be said that the divine power of the Church of Life really comes from...the gods?!"

High Priest Lysa smiled slightly, "I have never denied this. It's just that the royal family does not trust the church and regards the church priests as another form of wizard."

"Narende, do you know why the Church of Life is the Church of Life?"

Chu Ming paid full attention and quickly made a gesture of listening.

High Priest Lesa stretched out his hand, and a magical spell spread out invisibly. Chu Ming found that the chaotic sounds outside stopped instantly.

The old man straightened his waist and spoke slowly: "In the age of mythology, there was a mythical race named Gold. They were good at various skills and were keen on using gold stone tablets soaked in divine power to record divine events. Because these gold stone tablets record history, With the characteristics of being indestructible, we also call these stone tablets the eternal golden stone tablets.”

"According to the records of the eternal golden stone tablets leaked from the Pongyang Empire, after the darkness invaded the world, after a long struggle, the 'Order' and 'Dark Night' among the seven mythical gods were missing, and the three 'War', 'Armed' and 'Earth' were missing. The god of war died outside the world, and the remaining "fertility" and "wisdom" were transformed into evil gods due to the erosion of darkness, and finally died in the battle to kill the gods of the Intinuit tribe. "

"Among them, the two gods of 'Fruit' and 'Wisdom' are related to blood and spirit. Darkness pollutes the world. After polluting the blood and spirit of living creatures from the bottom, the two gods inevitably fell into darkness."

The old man sighed slightly, and then his tone changed, "But for the gods, death does not mean the end. As long as the blood power or spiritual power is restored to purity, there is still a possibility for them to return."

"You mean..."

Chu Ming stood up suddenly.

The old man smiled and said: "I have read several historical records handed down from the King's Peninsula, and there have been several remarkable people there."

"A heroic knight named Andrew. It is said that he broke the restrictions of the bloodline shackles of the 'order', freed the human bloodline from the darkness, and allowed the knight's power to move to a higher level."

"The ancestor of the blood clan who did not reveal his real name, it was because of the Blood Moon Covenant he established that the human bloodline was free from the invasion of darkness."

"Owen Galvan, the king of the Manoni Kingdom, used order to open up the power of law..."

"A businessman named James discovered the loophole in the Blood Moon Covenant..."

"It was because of the efforts of these ancestors that the blood power of Intinut gradually stabilized and formed a huge force to fight against darkness."

The old man took a deep breath, and his eyes became more solemn, "And the 'life' I am talking about is the new god who received the gift of 'abundance' and was born on the blood power and the remains of the old gods."

"'Life'..."

Chu Ming's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly felt that the root divinity in the cloth bag seemed to be burned red, hot and scalding.

The Dark Age did not have the conditions for the gods to awaken, and the only ones who could awaken were the evil gods polluted by darkness, but what if new gods were born?

After Chu Ming's previous two writings, the blood power of the creatures from other worlds has indeed become more stable. With a pure blood power environment, the birth of the new god seems to be a matter of course.

High Priest Lisa turned to look at Isabel and continued:

"I have believed in "life" for more than 80 years. Before I met Isabel, I had never seen a real miracle. Even the practice of divine arts was learned in a muddle. At that time, I even doubted the meaning of the existence of the Life Church."

"I was afraid that what we believed in was an unknown existence, and I was afraid that our belief would bring disaster to the world. At that time, I lived in fear."

"Grandma High Priest..."

Isabel held her wrinkled hand.

High Priest Lisa smiled gently, "When the child was baptized by the priest when she was eight years old, she told me that her back hurt a lot."

"I have never encountered such a situation. Most priests don't feel anything when they are baptized, including me."

"Later, Maria and I found the holy marks on Isabel's back that were branded by the gods with divine power."

"Isabel's appearance made me witness the true miracle. This child is a gift from the gods to us."

Chu Ming endured the burning sensation brought to him by the increasingly hot root divinity, and uttered four words, "The Chosen One of the Gods..."

High Priest Lisa looked at Chu Ming unexpectedly and nodded, "Isabel is the Chosen One of Life chosen by 'Life', and has the power to use the power of life, which is also why she can heal The cause of the deformity disease. "

The burning sensation on the root divinity gradually disappeared, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and asked his inner doubts, "If the God of Life exists in the world, why is He indifferent to the invasion of darkness?"

High Priest Lisa lowered her eyes, "The ancient Seven Thrones have been submerged by darkness, let alone the new gods."

"What the gods have to face is different from what we have to face."

Chu Ming frowned and asked, "How to purify the forbidden knowledge without the help of the gods."

The old man smiled, "The choice of the gods is the choice of the gods, Nalunde, 'life' has chosen you, there must be a reason, you can do whatever you want, the gods will take care of you."

Isabel stared at Chu Ming closely and nodded to him trustingly.

"I believe in Mr. Wizard."

"Huh..." Chu Ming felt a little heavy in his heart. Since 'life' can provide him with help, his plan needs to be changed.

After thinking for a long time, Chu Ming asked, "I hope the Church of Life can help me purify the taboo knowledge that is spreading continuously. This requires the support of the divine power of life and the efforts of countless generations of the Church of Life."

"And I will defeat the taboo giant, seize all the authority of the knowledge storage room, and personally guard the taboo knowledge to buy time for you."

That's right, Chu Ming is determined to accept the taboo knowledge to obtain the power of taboo. Only in this way can he have the power to defeat the taboo giant.

As long as he can persist until the Church of Life grows up completely, it is only a matter of time before the taboo knowledge is purified.

After listening, Isabel looked worried. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her back suddenly get hot and couldn't help but groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

Chu Ming's eyes shrank and he quickly picked her up, "Isabel, are you okay?"

The girl's forehead was covered with sweat. She endured the pain and shook her head slightly, then stretched out her trembling green fingers to draw mysterious patterns on the back of Chu Ming's hand.

Chu Ming's body was stiff and unable to move. He could feel a tall figure descending into the small tent. As Isabel's fingertips moved, the back of his hand became increasingly hot.

His mind felt a burning pain, and hot sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he was panting slightly.

Buzz!

A red light lit up from the back of Chu Ming's hand, forming a mysterious and beautiful mark.

Buzz!

A wave came from above, the red light gradually dimmed, and the green light gradually climbed up. The phantom light covered the mark, and forests, mountains, grass, wild animals... bloomed from the back of his hand one by one.

The pain disappeared, and he relaxed. He sniffed and smelled the freshness of the grass and the fragrance of the flowers, as if he was in the paradise of life at this moment, and everything around him was full of vitality.

After a while, the phantom light gradually disappeared, and Chu Ming's mind returned to reality. He flashed his eyes and saw Isabel and High Priest Lisa staring at him.

The look in High Priest Lisa's eyes was somewhat complicated and somewhat relieved. She said, "'Life' has recognized your agreement with the Church of Life. From today on, the Church of Life will fulfill its duty to expel forbidden knowledge until forbidden knowledge is unknown and until the world ends."

Chu Ming nodded and looked at the back of his right hand.

On it, a green mark was flowing with light, bringing him a hint of vitality.

"Stigmata of Life..."

Chu Ming stared at the back of his hand and was in a trance for a while.

High Priest Lisa took Chu Ming's right hand and prayed while carving a prayer that he couldn't understand.

After the entire prayer ceremony, the old man opened his cloudy eyes, "Nalunde, you will bear the body of a hero, endure hardships, and accept endless pain. This is the promise you made."

"The world will pity you, the gods will sigh for you, and all living beings will give you the most flawless and pure blessings."

The high priest's voice fell, and the history book next to Chu Ming surged with golden light.
