Sacrifice
read336;
By the time Darko rode back to St. Owen on his griffin, it was already noon on the second day. Looking down from www.biquge.info sky, St. Owen is like a giant beast lying in a lair, as calm and majestic as a mountain. The entire city of St. Owen was built in the middle of the Eternal Night Canyon, with steep cliffs deep into the clouds on both sides, and the canyon was perennially filled with a dense black fog, even at noon, the sun could not penetrate the black fog, and Darko Fei felt the rich dark aura in the fog in the air.
The location of the Eternal Night Canyon is very important, it is convenient for transportation, and it guards one of the three main passages to the south of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the fierce beasts can only choose to bypass the Falling Eagle Isthmus in the east, which has to go around more than a thousand kilometers, not to mention, and needs to directly face the Karma Fortress of the Thunder Church. However, the battles that followed St. Owen's construction made the Orcs rather attack the Kama Fortress than try the methods of the Dark Church.
Gods are called gods because they are different from mortals, and they cannot live in the world because they become gods, but people still want to remember the glory of human beings before they became gods, so they named the city a holy name. St. Owen of the Dark Church and St. Radiance of the Church of Light are the two holy cities named after their respective gods.
Five hundred meters outside the city, the griffin had to land and walk into the city, and after Darko took the griffin into the city, the griffin ran back to its lodgings on its own, and Dakko walked alone along the wide road towards the Dark Temple. But I can't tell if it's excitement or excitement or fear.
Darko had only been here once before and was not familiar with the way inside the temple, but he had his own stupid method of returning to the main hall on the first floor along the widest corridor. Re-entering the main hall, his body moving forward in the flowing darkness, Darko looked at the statue of Owen, which was still a throbbing darkness that made the soul throb. He did not dare to look further, so he hurried around the stone statue, walked out through the side door, and then followed the route he had taken with his master to the temple.
The black air in the hall was overflowing as always, and it took a long time to complete the dark adaptation in the environment where you couldn't see your fingers. There is no bottom at the bottom of the stairs, and even if he has been here once, it still makes Dakko feel scared for a while.
Darko trembled and walked up to the altar to find that in addition to himself, there was a middle-aged man in a red robe on the altar, and Darko knew that the red robe was the hallmark of the cardinal, the existence second only to the Pope. Darko didn't want to communicate much with anyone other than his master, so he walked to the other side of the altar.
Looking at the shadows and black qi on the altar, I remembered the last time I saw someone throw something on the altar, and I would be digested by this black qi, and I couldn't help but be a little scared. But then I thought that I had been standing on this altar intact all along, and it was obvious that what this altar could digest was targeted. Darko was a little curious about what the altar could digest, so he took a copper coin from his pocket and threw it on the altar, and as soon as the copper coin touched the altar, it turned into a wisp of soot and flew into the altar.
"God accepts your contributions. ”
The sudden sound frightened Darko, and after looking left and right, he found that no one was hiding next to scare him, and then he remembered that the voice just now sounded directly in his head. Could it be that it was the voice of the dark god? Darko felt that this guess was not reliable, the dark god should not be idle enough to surrender his will for a copper coin, maybe it was just a wisp of thought. Darko froze, took the crystal nucleus of the bright unicorn from his pocket, and carefully placed it on the altar.
"Huh?" The rich aura of light on the crystal nucleus caught the attention of the cardinal on the other side, and he looked at Darko curiously, his golden pupils swept over Darko's body, and then turned to himself to go about his business.
As the black mist surged, the crystal nucleus was also gradually digested in the divine power of the altar.
"God is pleased with your contribution. ”
Darko was pondering the difference between satisfaction and acceptance when another voice came to his head, "You've got God's approval!"
The higher the value of the sacrifice, the greater the reward. And when God says this, it means that Darko has received divine grace. As the voice came out, the darkness on the altar converged on Dako's body like a flowing entity, condensed into a complex divine text in his body in an instant, and then slowly faded away. Darko only felt a refreshing pleasure coming from the divine text, but he didn't know what it meant, but the voice in his head quickly gave him an answer.
"You have God's approval, you become a believer in darkness, you receive dark blessings. ”
Darko found himself in a looming circle of dark streamers, a trait he had seen when his master cast spells, and the dark blessing could increase the power of all dark spells, as well as increase resistance to light magic and fighting energy. And this ability belongs to the gift of the dark god, and it will not consume the divine grace. As soon as Darko's mind moved, the dark streamer retracted into his body, and it was only noticed when he cast a dark spell.
The so-called dark believers, strictly speaking, cannot be regarded as the title of the gods, but only a qualification. This qualification means that you have been recognized by the dark god and become a citizen of the dark god's favor, and you will be protected in battle. More important than the dark blessing is the divine grace, which has two main functions.
One is to redeem items. As long as there are items in the charisma list, regardless of equipment, skills, materials, and items, as long as there are enough charisma, they can be exchanged. Even Legendary gear can sometimes be on the list, but it also requires a high amount of Divine Grace to redeem it.
The second is to upgrade the title. The higher the title, the more favor you will receive from the gods, and the more high-level equipment and items you can choose from, and the price will be relatively cheaper. There are four levels of titles: Cultist of Darkness, Saint of Darkness, Messenger of Darkness, and Guardian of Darkness. At present, Darko has only obtained the qualification of a Dark Cultist, and after being promoted, he will become a Dark Saint.
As the previous time, dark shadows overlapped in front of Darko to form a list, which he knew was the so-called Grace List. Last time, it was Phyllis who made the choice, and now it is Darko's turn to face this list of divine graces by himself, and he is naturally very excited. He carefully looked at the hundreds of items on it, including alchemy items, various magic potions, crystal nuclei of various departments, jewelry, scrolls, weapons, armor, etc., and finally two enhancements: body structure enhancement and mana expansion enhancement.
Magic potions are consumables that enhance attributes and quickly recover in battle, Monster Crystal Nuclei can be embedded in jewelry or magic wands to increase the power of magic against certain elements, and weapons are all high-quality products above the Elite level. Each option is followed by a number of Charismatic Points required to redeem it, which varies.
However, although these things are relatively rare, they are not unavailable in the market, and don't they seem a little shabby on the list of divine graces provided by the gods?
The exchange of charisma is essentially a transaction, a transaction between gods and mortals. If you want to grasp the initiative of the transaction, you need to monopolize what others don't have, and the biggest difference between gods and mortals is the control of the law, in which the physical fitness enhancement and mana expansion enhancement are all part of the transformation of the body through the power of the law. It can be seen that the strengthening of the laws of these two items is the real highlight of the transaction, and as for the other options, they are probably used to help believers consume a fraction of the divine grace, and also serve as a scene.
In essence, law reinforcement is to use the understanding of laws to optimize the structure of a certain thing, so for each thing, the corresponding law reinforcement can only be used once. For mortals, the strengthening of the law is like a blessing from the gods, adding more possibilities to the future path, although such a blessing is valuable.
Darko carefully searched three times among the hundreds of options in the list of divine graces, and after confirming that there was no spiritual power crystal, he gritted his teeth and decided to increase the level of the title, becoming a Dark Saint requires ten points of divine grace, and there was another dark shadow on the altar on Darko.
"You have received the title of Dark Saint, opening the second level of the list of divine graces. ”
Dakko rummaged through the newly added more than a hundred divine graces in his heartbeat, and he found that the extra weapons and equipment had reached the excellent level, and the last law enhancement was an additional magic metal enhancement, which Dakko had personally experienced, but looking at the exchange ratio of fifteen points per kilogram of divine grace above, Dakko knew how much the master had paid for himself.
Without having time to think about it, Darko continued to bury his head in the newly added list, and after a while, he finally found the option of spiritual power crystallization in the special item column, which required 200 points of divine grace to exchange it.
"Sure enough, it was the same as the owner predicted. Darko thought excitedly, and chose this divine grace in his consciousness, and the shadow descended again, and several shadows converged on Darko's palm, and when they dispersed, a diamond-like crystal had appeared in his palm. Darko was a little flustered, how did he know that this spiritual power crystal was his soul? It seems that there is no option to return it on the list, what if it is mistaken?
Darko looked at the list of charismas again, and he realized that after selecting it, the option on the list was gone. It seems that there are not many powerful souls who come here, and the dark god is here to come and go at any time, and there is no inventory.
The crystal was completely transparent in color, with standard rhomboid-shaped dodecahedrons radiating clear mental fluctuations from each section from time to time. According to the master, if this is the spiritual power formed by his soul, it will fit perfectly with his original soul after fusion, and the memories in it will also reappear. If this is formed by someone else's soul, it will not fit perfectly, and most of the spiritual power in it will be consumed, and it may even impact his own soul. Because of this risk, only high-level Shadow Priests or Necromancers with strong souls will increase their spiritual power by exchanging spiritual power crystals.
Dakko took the spiritual power crystal, hesitated for a while, and finally crushed the crystal as if he had made a lot of determination. There was no imaginary streamer, nor any earth-shattering sounds, and the pure spiritual power silently merged into Dakko's soul little by little, only emitting a little milky white halo in the center of Dako's eyebrows.
The halo is fleeting. Darko stood for a long time as if he had been nailed to the altar. Facing the south where the Temple of Light was located, the expression on his face changed many times, sometimes resentful, sometimes crazy, sometimes lamenting, sometimes helpless, and finally turned into a wisp of sigh.
The figure of a person, the plot of the event, and the trance-like dialogue are mixed with fragments of memories and return to his mind. The situation is vague, but the past is so real.
Bright. Brett!
I am, Bright......
