Chapter 647 Faith Ceremony
Enzo and the other three were the only ones left in the carriage.
Originally, Nicole and her mother were planning to leave and leave the carriage to Enzo alone. However, Enzo planned to learn more about their beliefs, so he took the initiative to let them stay.
The two of them did not object.
"I wonder, Ms. Elena, what are your plans to go to the Cold Plains?" Enzo asked nonchalantly.
As a mother, Elena has taken off her disguise.
This was a beautiful woman who looked to be about thirty years old. She exuded an intoxicating temperament. Enzo was completely immune to this, but he deduced in his heart that this temperament should be related to the god she believed in.
"Could it be her?" A thought flashed in Enzo's mind.
Although it has not been completely determined, he has already inferred about Elena's belief that she is a god he has also seen.
Next to her, Nicole sat there obediently.
"To be honest, Your Excellency Enzo." Elena said with a gentle tone, "Little Nicole and I were originally nobles of the Red Castle Kingdom. Because we were inspired by the gods, we became loyal believers of the great goddess."
"This trip to the Cold Plains is also to spread faith for my Lord."
As she spoke, a trace of solemnity appeared on Elena's face.
"The Kingdom of Kaiyuan has fallen into civil strife. A meaningless war will only bring death and sacrifice. According to my Lord's prophecy, the world is about to undergo a change. Only those who believe in My Lord can survive this catastrophe."
"That's it." Enzo nodded slightly, but felt helpless in his heart.
The way these gods spread their faith is really the same. They first weave a huge lie, make people panic in the form of doomsday prophecies, and then appear in the form of a savior.
If you use some extraordinary means casually, it will be regarded as a miracle by people.
In the Northern Continent, such inferior methods may not be able to confuse too many people, because in a society ruled by wizards, extraordinary power is everywhere, but in an abandoned land where information is scarce, this method is very effective.
Enzo wanted to continue asking.
At this time, the carriage stopped again. A trace of nervousness appeared on Nicole's face, but the voice of the brigade owner came from outside.
"It's getting dark, get ready to set up camp."
Then, the car door was opened, and the brigade owner said respectfully, "Sir Enzo, if you don't mind, please join us for dinner."
Enzo nodded.
The three of them stepped out of the carriage together. An iron pot had been set up next to the fire, and broth was being boiled in it. The alluring aroma hit their faces.
The hotel owner prepared food for Enzo diligently.
Compared with others, Enzo's food is obviously more hearty. In addition to broth, there is also charcoal-grilled rabbit meat and soft wheat bread.
However, Enzo didn't have many requirements for food.
The All-Soul Wizard no longer needs to eat. He can absorb the energy from the surrounding world through meditation to replenish himself. However, Enzo still maintains the habit of three meals a day. After a simple dinner, he is ready to return to the carriage.
At this time, fine white snowflakes were floating in the sky.
The seasons in the Abandoned Land are not much different from those in the Northern Continent. Winter has already arrived, and this is not the first snow this year. The cold weather has caused most animals in the forest to begin hibernation.
Enzo looked around and suddenly noticed that Elena and her daughter were missing.
"Ms. Elena and Miss Nicole seem to have gone to the creek over there." The owner of the tour group saw Enzo's expression and chuckled, "That's the trouble with women, they have too high requirements for hygiene."
Enzo nodded slightly.
It seemed that Elena and her daughter were planning to clean their bodies. After all, they had just experienced a battle during the day, and their bodies were inevitably stained with blood.
But at this moment, Enzo suddenly felt something in his heart.
In the area not far away, he felt a divine aura, and looking at it, it seemed that it was the location of Elena's mother and daughter.
"Pray? Or sacrifice?"
Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of interest on his face. It seemed that Elena and her daughter were not simply cleaning their bodies when they left the brigade.
He thought for a moment, and then walked over there.
Although Enzo has already made some inferences about the gods that Elena and her daughter believe in, but now that the other party is praying, he can just confirm it.
Not long after, Enzo left the brigade.
We headed towards a small forest, and there was a faint sound of water flowing. Although it was the cold winter season, the river was not completely frozen.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of a whip waving came from the woods. Enzo looked forward and saw such a scene.
Under the night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Next to a stream several meters wide, the petite Nicole was naked, kneeling on the ground like a slave girl, assuming the most humble posture. The moonlight shone on her body, exuding an alluring white luster.
Next to Nicole is her mother Elena.
The woman who was gentle during the day had a serious face at this moment, waving a long whip in her hand and hitting Nicole's back. Every blow seemed to use a lot of strength. The severe pain made Nicole's face pale, but there was a look in her eyes. But it has a strange luster.
"All pain in the world is a gift from the goddess!"
"Great weeping goddess, please accept the humble service of believers and use pain to witness the loyalty of our faith!"
Elena muttered words and slapped Nicole's naked back hard.
"It's indeed her!"
Enzo's eyes flashed, and seeing the scene in front of him, he completely verified his previous inference. The god that Elena and her daughter served was the Weeping Goddess in the Lost Continent.
They were both old gods from ancient times. Compared with the Goddess of Night, the Weeping Goddess was pitifully weak. According to Enzo's calculation method, I'm afraid that the three Weeping Goddesses combined could not match the Goddess of Night.
Such an ancient old god can almost be called the shame of the gods.
And the power held by the Weeping Goddess is even more bizarre. Her believers have endured pain as a way of sacrifice, which seems a bit abnormal in the eyes of normal people.
"It's true that anything can become a god."
Enzo complained in his heart that the wizard world is too vast, so too many gods were born in ancient times.
At the same time, the sacrifice by the stream has ended.
As Elena whipped the whip fiercely, Nicole screamed loudly, with a hint of joy in the pain, and then fell to the ground weakly, as if she had lost all her strength.
Elena's face was still serious, and she stepped on Nicole's head.
The doctrine of the Weeping Goddess was not only bizarre, but also had a strict hierarchy among believers. Everything of the lower-ranking belonged to the upper-ranking, including the body. Nicole, who looked like a mother and daughter who were also believers of the Weeping Goddess, was obviously a lower-ranking one.
After a while, this ridiculous sacrifice ended.
Enzo was originally planning to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something, looked up at the sky, and walked out after hesitating.
Beside the stream, the mother and daughter were startled when they heard the movement.
Nicole grabbed her clothes in a panic, while Elena acted quite calm, allowing Enzo to see her naked body.
"Does Enzo feel the call of the goddess?"
Elena was naked, with a trace of solemnity on her face, and said: "All the suffering in the world is the tempering of the goddess to the world, including today's bandits. They are on a road of no return because they have no faith."
Enzo's face was calm, and he was too weak to complain in his heart.
Mortals who have been brainwashed by the teachings of the gods have almost become extremely paranoid. Even some wizards who pursue the truth will choose to abandon the truth and become believers because of the power of the gods.
As she said this, Elena suddenly raised her foot and stepped on Nicole's head.
"I think Sir Enzo has already felt the call of the goddess, so why not join us in the arms of the great weeping goddess!"
"Only by feeling pain can the soul be sublimated!"
There was a hint of fanaticism in Elena's tone, and she bewitched, "According to the teachings of the great weeping goddess, only by accepting the whip of the strong can you feel the pain better, and devoting everything to the superior is also a way to sublimate the soul."
As she said this, Elena kicked Nicole's butt.
The girl with white skin and naked body had a hint of shyness on her face, but then she firmly grabbed the long whip, stood up and walked to Enzo's feet and knelt down.
"Please whip me, Sir Enzo!" Nicole's eyes were firm.
In the creed of the Weeping Goddess Church, the way to attract strong people to join is often for the weak to suffer. After knowing Enzo's identity as a great knight, Elena had the idea of absorbing Enzo to join the church during the day.
At the same time, according to the creed of the church, every lower believer thinks that the upper believer is honored to dedicate everything. The great Weeping Goddess is watching everything, and only in this way can he get her gift.
Looking at Nicole who was kneeling on the ground, Enzo suddenly felt dazed.
But it was only a moment, and he regained his calm, his eyes flashed with the luster of thinking, and he immediately understood everything that had just happened.
Obviously, the Weeping Goddess was watching everything that happened here.
Perhaps this is also the way for the Weeping Goddess to gather believers for herself. Nicole's offering of the long whip is like a ritual. If Enzo chooses to pick up the long whip and whip the other party, then he will also establish a faith relationship with the Weeping Lady invisibly.
Once this relationship is established, it means that Enzo becomes a believer.
While obtaining the gift of the Weeping Goddess, he will also be controlled by the other party, thus losing his freedom and gradually becoming more and more loyal.
Enzo is now disguised as a great knight.
Obviously, the Weeping Goddess, who is watching everything, has not seen through this disguise. She only thinks that Enzo is an ordinary great knight, so she uses her own authority to absorb Enzo as her believer.
On the spot, Enzo's mind flickered.
A weak god like the Weeping Goddess is not taken seriously by him at all. The other party is not even qualified to threaten Enzo, but Enzo needs to establish a connection with the Goddess of Night through the Weeping Goddess.
"Okay, I'll play with you." Enzo chuckled in his heart.
Then, he pretended to be infected by the gods, picked up the long whip in Nicole's hand, and then whipped the girl's naked body hard. Nicole screamed immediately, and the special faith contract was established at this moment.
A trace of weak power in Enzo's body was lost.
A connection was also established with the Weeping Goddess. The other party left a mark in Enzo's body, representing Enzo's identity as a believer, but this identity could not have any binding force on the Wanling Wizard.
As long as Enzo is willing, he can cut off this relationship at any time.
Even, using this mark as a medium, one can find the location of the Weeping Goddess, or cast a curse on her, causing her to pay a heavy price.
After the believer's contract was completed, a hint of joy appeared on Elena's face.
Nicole bit her lips gently, a hint of shyness on her face, and slowly spread her legs under the bright moonlight.
This is also part of the ceremony.
In the doctrine of the Weeping Goddess, weak believers must dedicate themselves to powerful believers in order to receive the goddess's gift, and between male and female believers, this devotion is often mixed with pure desire.
Enzo couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
In ancient times, the Weeping Goddess Church also rose for a period of time. Driven by the most primitive desires of mankind, the church even developed very quickly, and most people took the initiative to join the Weeping Goddess Church.
If the Weeping Goddess herself was not too weak, and the church was not suppressed by a powerful god, perhaps the Weeping Church could really develop.
After all, for mortals, desire is difficult to suppress.
"Sir Enzo, please accept Nicole's dedication!"
Not far away, Elena urged, her daughter Nicole was a believer brought into the church by herself, but she had never made a dedication to Elena.
This is mainly because, in the creed of the Weeping Goddess Church, the stronger the object of the first dedication of the lower believers, the more generous the gift from the goddess. Elena herself is not a strong person, so she is not qualified to enjoy Nicole's dedication.
But Enzo, as a great knight, is different.
This is also the reason why Elena wants to win over Enzo. If the other party can accept Nicole's first service, then the Weeping Goddess who watches everything will definitely give Nicole a generous reward.
Hearing Elena's urging, Enzo no longer hesitated.
The Weeping Goddess is watching everything from somewhere, and Enzo is unwilling to show his primitive desire in front of her, so he moved his mind and released the power from the All-Spirit Wizard.
In an instant, the surroundings fell into an illusion.
Nicole and Elena's faces showed a trace of dullness. The two people who fell into the illusion lost their surrounding perception. Enzo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The illusion that was almost exactly the same as the real world could even deceive the gods.
At the same time, the border of the abandoned land.
On an isolated island in the sea, the Weeping Goddess sat beside a mirror, watching everything that happened inside with great interest. As a deity with a special fetish, what she was most willing to do was to spy on the privacy of her believers.
However, there was a sudden flicker in the mirror.
It returned to normal in just a moment, and the Weeping Goddess frowned slightly, but did not pursue it too much, and continued to watch the scene in the mirror, not knowing that all this had been disguised by an illusion.
