Chapter 628 Secret Gathering
Barbara, who was watching from Eros's perspective, reminded him:
"Do you see the nine statues in the middle? Those are the nine betrayers."
Hearing this, Eros immediately looked at the place Barbara said, and the nine statues of six men and three women immediately came into view.
At this time, a voice came from behind him: "Are you going to leave or not? If not, get out of the way and don't block the road."
The person who spoke used a strange language, which was different from the language Eros had learned since childhood.
Fortunately, that language was still somewhat similar to the common language of the Chris Empire, so although it was a bit difficult, Eros could still barely understand it.
Just like the local dialect and the common language.
Because he didn't understand the situation, Eros didn't care about the person who suddenly appeared behind him, and made way to the side and stood aside to watch.
Only then did he notice that there were many people around besides himself, most of whom were wearing black robes and hiding their faces, just like himself.
At this moment, they all walked towards the arch bridge in the middle of the pit, stepping on the heads of the gods, and walked leisurely to the other side, as if they had been here many times.
On the other side of the bridge was a palace made of unknown materials, with thick and tall pillars supporting an exaggerated semicircular arch.
Many members who had walked across the bridge of blasphemy were walking towards the arch.
Eros did not act rashly, but just stood outside and watched.
"Is there no one to review this organization? Or is the review to confirm the identity of the members inside the arch?"
Eros frowned, looking a little puzzled.
Hearing the doubt in Eros' words, Barbara said with a light smile:
"The pit where the statues of the gods are placed and the bridge over the heads of the statues of the gods are the best review."
Just as Eros was thinking about what Barbara meant, a scream attracted Eros' attention.
Eros looked in the direction where the scream came from, which was the location of the arch bridge.
In Eros's vision, a man in a black robe was kneeling on the ground and screaming, shouting in fear:
"I repent! I repent! I repent..."
As he shouted, the man's soul began to distort, and soon he turned into a monster that only knew how to roar "I repent", and then was dragged by an unknown force and fell into the pile of statues at the bottom of the bridge and disappeared.
Someone in the crowd of onlookers laughed and said:
"I don't know which sect arranged the undercover to come in. He couldn't bear the fear of blaspheming the god he believed in, and collapsed into a monster."
The rest of the people on the bridge seemed to be accustomed to this. After the man fell into the pile of statues and died, they continued to walk towards the other side.
Eros stared at the scene in a daze, and after a while he asked in astonishment:
"What is going on?"
Hearing Eros' question, Barbara said in a nonchalant tone:
"It should be that the god he believes in is in this pit. He couldn't get over the barrier in his heart, and felt that he had blasphemed the god he believed in, so he collapsed."
Eros sighed for a while, and finally understood what Barbara meant by the previous sentence that this pit and this bridge are the best examination.
For believers, letting them cross the bridge on the head of the god they believe in, this fear of blasphemy can really crush believers.
Fortunately, there are no statues of their ancestors and the elves in this pit.
After taking a deep breath, Eros also walked towards the bridge.
He has been watching there for a while. If he continues to watch, he might make people suspicious.
Since the gods under the bridge are not close to him, Eros walked across this not very long arch bridge without any pressure in his heart.
However, after he walked across the arch bridge, a mysterious mark suddenly appeared in the air, drifting towards his soul, and finally branded on the forehead of Tony's soul.
"This is the mark of blasphemy. Although the gods are isolated by the sky and cannot send down divine power to make their statues exert their power, a simple mark is still okay."
"In the future, if Tony's soul meets a believer of any god under the bridge in the present world or in other places, then that believer will immediately understand that you are a blasphemer and attack you."
After listening to Barbara's explanation of this mark, Eros was a little shocked.
This means that as long as you walk across this bridge, you will be enemies with almost all organizations with gods in the present world.
Fortunately, I didn't come here rashly, but used Tony's soul, and it was Tony's soul that was marked.
Otherwise, uh, it seems that it's okay, and Ariana can hide the mark.
While thinking about these messy thoughts in his mind, Eros walked towards the arch supported by giant pillars.
This blasphemous club seemed to have only arranged the blasphemous bridge as a way to examine members. After that, Eros did not encounter any examination.
This club seemed to have joined the organization as long as you got the certificate and passed the test of the blasphemous bridge.
It seemed to be right. After passing the blasphemous bridge, you would be enemies with almost all organizations with gods in the world. There was really no need to examine anything.
After passing through the archway and a long corridor with various blasphemous murals, Eros appeared in front of a very spacious hall.
In the hall, people in black robes were standing or sitting around the hall. At a glance, there were probably two or three thousand people.
What surprised Eros was that there were people setting up stalls here, selling some sealed objects, spiritual materials, potion formulas and the like.
Unfortunately, Eros didn't bring anything this time.
After walking around the hall, Eros heard someone communicating in the common language of the Nile Empire.
This surprised him a little. He finally met someone who could understand his words easily.
The Nile Empire, the Holy Chris Empire, and the Kaleron United Empire are the three most powerful empires on the Croatian continent.
And Eros learned the common languages of these three empires when he was a child.
In addition, he also learned the languages of some small kingdoms.
But what made him a little helpless was that the languages used by most people here did not seem to be those he had learned.
If he hadn't heard someone speaking in a familiar language, he would have even suspected that he had been pulled to an alien planet.
Following the direction of the voice, Eros soon came to three people wearing black robes and covering their faces.
The three people who were communicating in the common language of the Nile Empire, after seeing a person wearing a bird-beak mask coming in front of them, all cautiously ended the communication and looked at the newcomer with vigilance.
Seeing that they were all looking at him, Eros coughed lightly and said in the common language of the Nile Empire:
"Do you know where this is? And what language do they use?"
While speaking, Eros pointed at the people around him.
Eros didn't care that this question would expose the information that he came here for the first time, because it was Tony's soul that came anyway.
It doesn't matter if it's lost, even if the blasphemous ring on Tony's hand is lost, anyway, he still has a blasphemous ring in his hand, and he can come next time.
So the main purpose of this time is to understand the news here, and it doesn't matter if it is exposed or not.
Hearing Eros's question, the three looked at each other, and then asked tentatively:
"Is this your first time attending a party?"
Eros nodded without hiding anything: "Yes! First time here."
The three looked at each other again, and then someone said:
"We can share some news here with you, but what price can you pay?"
This made Eros a little embarrassed. He didn't bring anything this time, and the other party obviously didn't seem to be willing to accept offline transactions.
After thinking for a while, Eros said: "I can provide some secret knowledge and potion formulas."
