"Who are you?"

Viscount Eric was the first to ask tentatively.

"Who am I, and who are you?"

A slightly flirtatious voice asked rhetorically.

I saw that the scattered brilliance of the dome converged in the air, presenting a vague shape, which became clearer and clearer as time passed. It was a guy who had some resemblance to a "human", at least, in human form.

"I am the guardian of this temple, the caretaker of the Sealed Lands, and I am the servant of the gods of heaven. ”

The figure slowly revealed a handsome human face, and its body evolved towards the human body, becoming more coordinated. At the same time, a burst of white light feathers fell from the dome, falling on his body, turning into a pure white robe inlaid with gold, and huge white wings also grew from his back.

"Then who are you who dare to break into the realm of the gods. ”

His expression became serious, and he asked everyone in a questioning and reprimanding voice.

"We are lowly mortals, devout believers, who have inadvertently intruded into the realm of the gods, to forgive us for our great disrespect. ”

Without waiting for Viscount Eric's reply, Bourcho hurriedly replied, and immediately leaned down and fell to the ground on his knees. It's not that you don't believe in God or not, it's just that the situation is like this, so it's better to be obedient.

The others were not stupid, and followed Bourcho in the same way, and knelt down as well.

"Very well, devout believers. ”

The man seemed satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face. But before the crowd could get up, he changed his words and said in that awe-inspiring voice:

"I have a question, though. ”

"Aren't you supposed to have left the past behind and forgotten this place?"

The cold voice was like a sharp blade, slashing through everyone's backs, and his aura became cold and oppressive. Eric couldn't help but move his hand, subconsciously wanting to pull out his weapon.

"Whoever disobeys the oracle and deceives the gods, but suffers the pain of burning the soul. ”

The man didn't seem to notice Eric's movements, still talking to himself.

"So, are you really believers in our lord?"

"When... Of course. ”

Even though he had already touched the hilt of the knife, Eric still didn't dare to act impulsively, "Let's talk about it first, and then let's see the situation." ”

As soon as he heard this reply, a strange smile appeared on the face of the so-called guardian, and the aura around him gradually calmed down.

"So, I agree with you...... Human. ”

The word human with a pause was like a hammer that smashed into the hearts of the people, making them tremble.

"Could it be that this is not a human god?"

"I know what you think, that human beings are not the people of our Lord, but you can still be believers in our Lord. ”

There was disdain in the Guardian's tone, and I don't know if it was disdain for humans, disdain for a few people present, or something else.

"Of course, you can also choose to be a sacrifice to our lord. ”

Coldly, the Guardian popped out with this sentence.

Of course, we are willing to become believers in the Lord and serve our Lord wholeheartedly. ”

It's not a good thing to hear about it, and if you really choose this, it probably has to be here.

"Good. ”

The smile on the Guardian's face became even more palpable.

"You are very lucky, I will be your baptizer and take the initiative to bathe you"

"My name, Tantalus, baptizes in the name of the gods......"

The first words can still be understood a little, and the latter words have completely become lonely and unfamiliar syllables. But these syllables come together, and they are like the holy water of heaven, purifying the shells of all people.

Just as Tantalus appeared, countless feathers of light fell from the dome, only this time they were scattered around the people, circling and merging into their bodies.

As the light feather fell to the ground and stopped, the ceremony also reached its climax. Some crimson golden light emerged from Tantalus's body, turning into strands of silk that pointed straight at the center of everyone's eyebrows.

The things in front of everyone's eyes gradually faded, and their consciousness entered a golden space, and the warm currents washed everyone's consciousness, only to feel that there was something more unpredictable in the dark.

"Alright. ”

Tantalus's voice was not loud, and even revealed a sense of weakness, but it still woke up several people who were immersed in the space of consciousness.

Everyone only felt a sense of comfort all over their bodies, as if they had been reborn.

It's not just the difference in feeling, the change in shape is inconspicuous, but it's really improved. Even the obese Bourcho looks much more even, albeit still a little fat.

After performing this ritual, Tantalus's body also became a little illusory, and it seemed to be extremely expensive.

"You have established a bond with the Great Deity, and I will tell you about the duty. ”

The voice was still full of majesty, but it still revealed weakness.

"You will be the guardians of this temple, guarding the monsters in the seals with the ideals of the great gods. ”

"Monsters?"

"It is an evil thing from ancient times, a source of plague, and an enemy of the great gods. ”

"He is the Lord of Diseases and the Lord of Storms, who seeks to flood the land with the sea and construct a kingdom of decay and decay. ”

"The Great Lord of the Gods, the Supreme Order, defeated him himself and sealed him in the lava land. ”

"But isn't this the ocean?"

"The war of the gods, the fission of the earth, the vicissitudes of the sea, the lava land is deep in the ocean. Unable to resist the power of the Lord of the Storm any longer, it gradually dissipated and sank, drowning in the ocean. ”

"So what to do, we are just mortals, how can we fight against the gods. ”

Bourgeois exclaimed, it was true that there were some benefits from baptism, but it was not even an ant compared to a god that even a guardian could not face directly.

"Why not pray to the great gods and ask them to come down and save the world?"

"Quiet. ”

"The Lord of the Storm is not out of the Lava Lands, it's just that the suppression of the Lava Lands is getting weaker and weaker. Just in the last few hundred years, a storm has swept up in the ocean, and it has intensified. ”

"The battle of the gods has completely shattered the passage between the gods and mortals, and it is difficult for the gods to come to this world, and it is difficult for our prayers to be known by the gods. ”

Tantalus explained to the crowd, but his words revealed a disdain.

"The Lord of Order originally wanted the Lord of the Storm to reflect on his mistakes, and did not mean to imprison him forever. But the war of the gods came too suddenly, and there was no time to care about the Lord of the Storm. ”

But the Lord of the Storm had no repentance, and still stirred up troubles in vain to create his kingdom. ”

"What you have to do is to reawaken the power of the Lava Lands, ignite the unquenchable fire, and stop the power of the Lord of the Storm. As long as the power of the Lava Lands is activated, even if it is as strong as the Lord of Storms, it will be sealed for thousands more years. ”

"So what do you want us to do?"

"Don't be in a hurry, your strength is too weak to accomplish anything. ”

"In that case, why would you want us to be the Guardians, and why did you do it yourself?"

Viscount Eric sensed some clues and gained a little confidence.

"If I had been able to leave the temple, I would have done so a long time ago. I am a guardian and a sinner, so why not imprison me if I am to guard the Lord of the Storm?"

Tantalus was full of self-deprecation, and it didn't sound like he was innocent in the first place.

"The Lava Lands Activation Land is not difficult, but it is impossible for you without extraordinary powers. ”

So, what do you mean...... You want to give us supernatural powers?"

Eric's words were respectful and incredulous.

"Of course"

Listening to the surprise in Eric's voice, Tantalus did not shy away from it.

"I will give you power, magic and magic. Whatever comes in handy, I will do my best to pass it on to you. ”

The words were very sincere, but Tantalus was no less arrogant and sarcastic in his words.

"By the way, the minions of the Storm Lord have also been awakened and descended into this world, and I can feel them lingering here. ”

He suddenly remembered something, and his tone became solemn.

"If you hadn't found me, I would have died at their hands soon, and would have been sacrificed to the Lord of the Storm to regain his freedom. ”

"So, come with me, and I will give you strength, whether for the sake of the gods, or for the ......"

“...... Your homeland. ”
