Seeing Kevin away, Darko followed Narim towards the upper floor of the temple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Led by Cardinal Narich, the two walked through the temple unimpeded, and Dacko found that the temple was also a busy scene. From time to time, groups of soldiers and priests appeared in the aisles, like a wartime scene. Darko's brows tightened, guessing that the war with the Church of Light should be a tense situation.

The path inside the Dark Temple was complicated, but Darko felt a little familiar about the path they were taking, and after walking for a while, he remembered that it was leading to the Dark Pope's chamber, which Narich had taken him through a year earlier.

When he finally reached the Dark Pope's chambers, Cardinal Narim exuded a powerful mind that enveloped Darko's soul. Darko was startled at first, and then realized that it was Cardinal Narich's spiritual power repairing Bright's soul with his spiritual power, so he relaxed and let Narich's spiritual power do its work.

Bright fell into a coma during the VITK4 psychic shock and has not woken up to this day. And this room has a strong dark power, which is suitable for treating Bright. Under the guidance of Narich's spiritual power, they were gathered and integrated into Bright's soul. As the repair progressed, Bright's soul on the verge of being shattered was replenished by bits and pieces of dark divine power, and then the crack in the soul gradually closed, but the speed of the soul repair was extremely slow, and Darko knew that this was something that could not be rushed, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and waited.

After more than half an hour of restoration, Bright's soul was finally repaired. Darko immediately felt a wave of mental turmoil, and Bright's consciousness slowly awakened under the stimulus.

Bright was confused for a moment, then discerned the current situation, and called up Darko's memories to understand the cause and effect in detail. Bright had all kinds of emotions coming over him, and even he himself had never imagined that he could generate so many emotions in an instant.

Darko's pleasure in killing Vitk4, Awu's lament for sacrificing his savior, Grief at Orlando's death, Narrich's fear, Fearful of Orcs heading south, Dark's Pope's Forbidden Spells......

"Already, so much has happened. Bright didn't know how to express his feelings for a while, all the experiences Dacko had already produced corresponding emotions, and those emotions were also remembered in his mind, making Bright subconsciously think that it was something he had experienced personally. But in fact, he had just learned about these things, which was a strange feeling, but it bothered Bright very much. It's Darko who went through this, why do I agree with his feelings? Could it be that the two of us have become so similar unconsciously? Bright wants to ask Darko something, but finds that he and Darko don't need to communicate at all, is this a tacit understanding?

The two have been through so much together in the past year. Both of them are subtly influencing each other, and eventually become mutually recognizable existences, but they have never been able to find out.

It was Narich who broke the silence first, "Looks like you're awake?"

"Thank you, Cardinal Narich, for saving my life again. Bright stood up and bowed, solemnly thanking Narich.

"It's only repaired temporarily, although your soul is strong, it's still too reluctant to receive such a strong spiritual impact. Narich waved his hand, "It's just a piece of your soul together, and the damage to the source is irreparable. ”

Bright sensed his soul, and his face became solemn. He felt as if his soul had been split into countless pieces, and although it had barely been put together, there was a pool of damage from the core. The slightest mental impact on the key point may be completely shattered and turned into soul fragments.

"And that's not the main thing. Narich paused, then continued, "There's not much time left for you, so you'll have to hurry." ”

"When?" Bright was a little confused, "What time do you mean?"

"You killed a Vitamin Guild killer, and they knew that person would inevitably send a new killer if they failed in their mission. So, you have to hurry up and prepare, so let's hurry up and go. There was a hint of helplessness in Narich's tone.

Bright was even more puzzled, "Cardinal Narich, I still don't understand what you mean. If the Vitamin Guild is after me, shouldn't I have to hide in a safe place, and why should I go somewhere else?"

Narich sighed and pointed to the map on the wall to the right, "If you have those eyes, why don't you look for yourself?"

Bright looked at the map and saw that it was a common topographic map of Amecia and nothing special. With a thought in his mind, Bright opened the pupil of cause and effect, and immediately he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

On this small map, colorful causal connections compete and intertwine, coloring the bleak map. There were so many connections that Bright was dizzy when he saw it. He hurriedly closed his eyes and adjusted his state before opening them again. This time, Brett was able to identify the patterns of the lines in detail, and then discern their meanings.

Bright found that every place on the map where the causal connections intersected was the location of the main temples of the major churches, and the temples were connected to each other. There are some temples connected by dark connections, such as the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness, the Temple of Fire and the Temple of Ice, and it became clear to Brett that these were due to conflicting priesthoods of the corresponding gods, so they had conflicting beliefs, and were often in opposition or even war.

There are also some temples that are connected to each other by bright colored lines, such as the Sky Temple and the Storm Temple, the Life Temple and the Earth Temple, and the priesthood of the gods corresponding to them is auxiliary or overlapping with each other. The relationship between these temples should be relatively gentle, but Bright immediately remembered the history of the fall of the god of death, and in the end, the priesthood of the god of death was divided among the other god-related gods. Bright searched the past carefully, and sure enough, he found a few dark connections at the bottom of the bright connection, and it seems that these forces that are superficially close to each other also have a dislike for each other.

The temples where there was neither conflict nor overlap between the priesthoods were connected by ordinary-colored wires, which were far fewer in number than the first two.

Bright first ignored the bright color connections, so that only clusters of dark connections remained in his vision, and he saw the impact of a war between several major coalition forces, in which each pair of hostile forces must have other forces in the containment and buffer, forming a simple balance. Ignoring the dark lines, the remaining light lines form a more obvious picture of an alliance, which is also an evenly balanced situation.

When Bright finally tried to hide the light and dark connections together, leaving only the normal ones, his eyes were immediately much clearer. There is no longer a friend or foe, and the thirteen temples are like equal anchor points, firmly holding the complex but regular cobwebs of cause and effect between the planes. However, the cobwebs of these thirteen temples were not all, they contradicted another three-dimensional web, extending beyond the plane. The causal connections that make up the other web are so faint and light that Bright doesn't even notice them at first. These light-colored connections are set at a dozen points inside the map, and those are the strongholds of some guilds, with the largest of them being the Magic Guild, the Alchemy Guild, and the Mercenary Guild. Although sparse, the net was structurally unusually strong, and it was able to compete with the large net of sixteen temples, for the light-colored web was a three-dimensional structure, and it was far away connected to a floating node in the void, which was the symbol of a Libra dagger.

"This is ......" Bright looked at the picture in amazement, the meaning was not complicated, but he kept staring at it, revealing a look of disbelief.

"What you see, isn't necessarily true. But if you don't look at it, then you will be at a loss to even make judgments and choices, and life is made up of these judgments and choices. Narich's voice rang in Bright's ears at this time, "As you can see, the situation between the planes is exactly like this, and the various churches have their own plans for each other, and the overall balance is maintained. However, after the Magic Revolution, the thirteen churches had to unite to fight against the expansion of the major guilds. Among them, the Magic Guild and the Vitamin Guild are the most. ”

Bright had long learned about the balance of power between the Church and the Sanhedrin, which had led to a general peace between the Amecian planes. But he always thought that it was because of the numerical superiority of the major guilds that they were able to compete with the mortal churches of the gods, and at this time, judging from the causal connections of this map, ninety percent of the connections were supported by the two major guilds of magic and vitamins.

"How is that possible?" Bright still couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, "The Vitamin Guild is just a killer guild!

"Once upon a time, I thought the same thing as you. It wasn't until I sat in the position of cardinal and learned about the real history that the reality of this world began to take shape before my eyes. Nariqi paused, as if he was hanging his appetite before revealing the mystery, "Considering the history before and after the Demon Revolution, everyone will come to the conclusion that the Vitamin Guild is the embodiment of the law of Shura. ”

Hearing this conclusion, Bright was speechless in shock. The manifestation of the law, such a statement is enough to prove the strength of a thing. There are countless derivative laws between planes, and the gods are only dependent on a certain law, and the gods are omnipotent within the limits of the laws. However, even the corresponding gods can only approach the law infinitely, not the law itself. But there are exceptions to everything, and according to the information circulated by the powerful who have returned from exploring other planes, there is such a phenomenon as "law manifestation" in some planes.

Because of the satisfaction of special causal coincidences, a certain law takes shape in a certain form in the plane, becoming an existence that can directly interact with mortal things, and this existence has gone beyond the divine realm of the gods and is more powerful than the gods. The form in which this manifestation appears is uncertain, it may be an object, it may be a magic, it may be an organization, it may even be a living being.

"If it weren't for that, how could the Vitamin Guild survive after the death of the Holy Vitamin, even if the major churches suffered financially. Narić also looked at the map on the wall, and said leisurely, "And the other guilds in the Demon Leather were established by taking advantage of the lack of financial resources and the inability of the major churches to do so. ”

"So, what about me? What should I do? Am I just waiting for the Vitamin Guild to come and kill me?" Bright was in the middle of the matter, and his heart was even more turbulent at this time. He thought that under the protection of the Dark Church, he would be able to ensure his safety, but he didn't expect that he was still too naïve.

"If you want to say something, it's not impossible, but the key is to decide for yourself. Narich looked at Bright solemnly and said slowly, "You know, since it is the embodiment of the law, there are also rules that need to be followed. The reason why the Vitamin Guild is strong is precisely because it acts in full accordance with the rules, and there is no hidden worry if it does not overstep its authority. ”

Bright's eyes lit up, and he understood what Narich said, but he had been under strong pressure and had not been able to carefully consider the details. The authorities are fascinated, and Bright is not immune to it.

"The term of the contract between the Vitamin Guild and the employer is one year. Narich held out a finger, "As long as you don't get killed within a year, then the contract will be automatically terminated, and even if you show up at the Vitamin Guild's headquarters, no one will look at you again." ”

"A year?" Bright clenched his fists, feeling that he had another goal, but he immediately became uneasy again, "But what if that employer buys murder me again after a year?"

"Once the contract expires, the Vitamin Guild will naturally analyze the process of assassinating you and reassess your price accordingly. At that point, that employer may not be able to afford your life. ”

Bright nodded to himself, he realized that he still had a good chance of surviving, but without the information provided by Narich, he was still at a loss. The information provided by Narich, which is simple to say, is actually unbeknownst to Bright, which is the difference between a large organization with a complete intelligence system and a strong individual.

Bright thought about it, and Narich had prepared himself to go, and immediately thought of a possibility, "Cardinal Narich, do you mean to let me go to a low-level plane like Mercury and Armas to avoid being pursued?"

"That kind of low-level plane has a low upper limit of power, and only professionals below the advanced level can enter, and they are not excluded by the laws of the plane. You've killed a killer of a higher rank than you, and there's a good chance that the second assassination will be a top powerhouse coming to kill you. But if you hide in the secondary plane, they can only send high-level killers, and as long as you are promoted to a high-level mage in a short period of time, it is not without the power to fight. ”

At this moment, Darko suddenly snatched control of his body, his teeth clenched tightly, and it was only after a while that he squeezed out a voice between his teeth, "Cardinal Narich, am I going to give up my life because of their pursuit, leave my master, and take refuge in the lower planes?

Narich said calmly, "There is a price to be paid for living like a human being, and this price may be life, are you willing to bear it?" and before Darko could reply, he continued, "What's more, if you are so stubborn, there is almost no chance of living." ”

"What?" Darko was stunned.

"I've been called the strongest séance in history, but have you heard of any other name called the strongest in history?"

Faced with Narich's rhetorical question, Darko recalled inexplicably before shaking his head, "No." ”

"Because I was born with a dual personality, I believed in the god of light and the god of darkness respectively, and I got such a title of 'the strongest in history' by tricks. But in fact, before the Demon Revolution, the strongest people in each class would be known to the world, and each class would have a so-called 'strongest in history'. However, after the Demon Revolution, this title was no longer sung. Narich's voice was a little low, "That's because the strongest titles in the history of the profession except for the priesthood are occupied by the Vitamin Guild." Being able to become the ruler of the Vitamin Guild speaks for itself, and there is no need to add 'the strongest in history' to each of them. ”

Darko's breathing became rapid, he had vaguely felt the strength of the Vitamin Guild in the previous battle with Vitk4, but he still refused to admit it. At this time, he really heard this information, and he had to face up to this fact, if he stayed in the Ameixia plane, he would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Vitamin Guild.

"In the Vitamin Guild, there are a total of 26 classes from A to Z, so there are 26 of the strongest in history. Narich raised his hand, counting the numbers, "In fact, only three of the Vitamin Guild's 26 killer classes kill people in assassin ways. ”

Darko was a little puzzled, in his consciousness he always equated the killer with the assassin, is there a difference between the two? After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that the killer only kills, and the assassin kills secretly, that is to say, the killer kills but does not necessarily have to be sneaky!

"Could it be that they often kill people everywhere in such an open manner?" Darko muttered, "But they are in the Venus plane, and the upper limit can only reach the eighth level of the Great Demon Master or Great Sword Master level, can they leapfrog and assassinate a saint-level powerhouse of the ninth level of the plane?"

"That's right, most of the killers of vitamins rely on their strength to kill people head-on. And the reason why those three assassin professions want to be assassinated is not because they are poor, but because they want to kill people by leapfrogging!" Naric nodded to confirm Darko's conjecture, "In the thousands of years since the Demon Revolution, there have been more than one or two saint-level powerhouses who have been assassinated. ”

Darko wanted to refute, but Naric said, "For you now, there are many things that you can't choose, so you need to make yourself strong." The more powerful you are, the more opportunities you have to make choices. ”

"I understand that life is full of multiple-choice questions. Many questions for the weak have only one option, so they have no choice, and even when there is no option, they can only end the test early with death. However, as long as you keep getting stronger, you can increase the number of options in each question, and the more opportunities you have to exercise your own choice. Seeing that Darko was still a little hesitant, he helped him make a decision, and nodded slowly but firmly, "Thank you, Cardinal Narich." I'll get ready as soon as I can, and I'll leave for the secondary planes right away. ”
