A different scene flashed around Wendy, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it, and every time the spatial fluctuations of the teleportation stabilized, she would immediately tear open another scroll.

Wendy also knew that this kind of teleportation method was very easy to track, but she also had no better way, not only was she seriously injured, but she also had to hold Darko. Wendy herself didn't know if she would fall to the ground and pass out in the next second.

Suddenly, Wendy's mechanical hand was empty, and she realized that there was no scroll left. In less than a minute, she used up thirty random teleportation scrolls in one go, with a total value of nearly ten thousand gold coins. I am afraid that no one has used such a luxury in the past.

Within a minute, Wendy only felt that she had visited the entire Amelasia Plane, but it was as if she had never been anywhere. She only felt that the feeling of déjà vu everywhere she went might have been with her for a long time.

Wendy looked around and found herself in the middle of a mountain range, covered with jungle, and faintly audible the sound of running water. Her magic power and mental power are almost at the bottom, and the last bit of qi element that can be manipulated is all used to support Darko's weight. She shuffled forward with heavy steps, knowing that she couldn't just fall here, or she and Darko would be lunch for passing beasts.

Perhaps it was due to her bad luck before, but this time Wendy's luck finally improved, and she soon found a cave in the dense forest. The cave is not too big, only the height of a person, but it is just right for hiding. Wendy didn't hesitate and walked in with Darko in her arms. Even if there was danger in this cave, it wouldn't be worse than her current situation.

Walking into the cave, Wendy discovers that the cave is not deep and the head can be seen at a glance. There is water flowing down the rock wall of the cave, and water droplets dripping from the roof of the cave from time to time, forming a small stream inside the cave that flows from the inside out. Wendy slowly put Darko down, and then sat down on the side, looking at herself reflected in the stream next to her, her face completely covered by blood and dust, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

Wendy sighed softly, picked up a handful of water, and was about to wash away the dirt, when she heard a low roar from outside the cave. When she looked up, she saw a spotted bear coming in from outside the cave, its mouth wide open and baring its fangs at her, its front paws clutching at the ground from time to time, and it looked like it might pounce at any moment.

"Is this your home? We're sorry we need to borrow it because of something important. ”

The spotted bear is a third-order magical beast and the smallest bear. For this low-level demonic beast, Wendy didn't pay attention to it, and raised his right hand to kill it instantly. An extremely faint stream of air swirled around her palm and vanished, and Wendy's body froze suddenly. In the process of fighting the Storm Pope, she had done her best, and her mana had long been overdrawn, and it was by strong willpower that she persevered. And now, once it relaxes, the suppressed void dares to attack immediately, and it can't even cast a single wind blade technique.

The next moment, the spotted bear suddenly roared and pounced on Wendy. Wendy didn't panic or be scared, she just let out a sigh, is she going to die like this?, but at this moment, a wave of mental fluctuations suddenly spread. Although it is already much weaker, it still carries the power of a strong man.

"Whew!"

The half-pounced body of the spotted bear came to a halt abruptly, and it looked at the two humans opposite in disbelief, its eyes wide and panicked. After a few seconds of confrontation, the spotted bear quickly turned around and ran out of the hole as if flying.

Wendy turned her head to look at Darko, who had already opened her eyes, and asked strangely, "Aren't you so tired that you have passed out? ”

"A few minutes is enough time for me to rest. Darko squeezed out a smile and put his right hand in a small stream, "You know, I've been hunted down in the Mercury plane for a whole year, and if I hadn't recovered a little more, I would have died of exhaustion in the chase." ”

Darko's tone was lighthearted, but what he said was extremely heavy. Wendy realized that the Dakko in front of her was no longer the heartless Dakko of a year ago. After a year of hunting and training, he has grown a lot.

Then Wendy remembered that Darko's recovery ability was indeed as he said, and after being knocked unconscious by the Storm Pope's Wind Erosion Technique, it only took a short time for Darko to regain consciousness, which allowed the two to get away with the forbidden spell. But thinking of this, Wendy's heart suddenly raced, and she didn't know if Dakko was conscious of what she did when she was in a coma last time.

"Why did your face turn red all of a sudden? Do you have a fever? I'll cast a hydrotherapy spell to cool you down, right?" Darko looked at Wendy strangely, thought for a moment and took out a few magic crystals from the spatial ring, "Is it caused by mana overdraft? Fortunately, I have everything." ”

"Ahh Wendy's cheeks were flushing red, but there was nowhere to hide in the small cavern, so she hurriedly changed the subject, "I wonder how Weedmeire is doing?"

Only then did Darko remember that Otto had blocked the Wind Erosion Technique twice in order to block the Storm Pope, and his life and death were still uncertain. He hurriedly took out a contract from the spatial ring, and was relieved to find that the light on it had not disappeared, "He's still alive, but I don't know what happened now." ”

"At the end of the day, it seemed that he was only restrained by the Wind Binding Technique, and he was too injured to break free. The place where he is must be outside the absolute vacuum, and I wonder if he escaped by the chaos we caused when we rushed out. Wendy took the contract and looked at it, and said in surprise, "You actually signed such an unequal contract with Weedmeire, it's yours!, it seems that I need to be vigilant to prevent you from accidentally being sold." ”

Darko was speechless for a moment, but didn't know how to explain it, so he shook his head and stopped arguing, and at the same time took water and food from the spatial ring and gave it to Wendy. Seeing that Darko was speechless, Wendy made a triumphant expression, and then took out a clean towel from the space ring, moistened it with stream water, and then wiped the blood and dust off his face, and returned to his usual appearance. Then he washed the towel again and handed it to Daktronic.

"Daktro, the kind of power you use when you break through the air membrane, you should use it carefully in the future. Wendy looked at Darko who was wiping his face next to her through the reflection of the stream, and her body couldn't help but tremble a little when she said this, "I can feel the power attached to your offensive magic, but it's not so obvious, and the last moment makes me tremble in the depths of my soul." ”

"Huh?" Darko stopped his movements in confusion, and immediately knew that Wendy was talking about the power of his flounder blood, and he remembered that the moment he finally broke through the air membrane, the power he used was actually a special way to output the power in the flounder bloodline, which is usually called the bloodline ability.

The ability to output disorder in an orderly form without attaching it to any spells makes this ability even more pure, especially when used to destroy tangible and insubstantial products of order such as magic. But because it is a chaotic ability derived from the bloodline of the flounder, this bloodline ability is also unnamed, Darko muttered to himself, "Since it is a bloodline ability that awakens when breaking the forbidden spell, let's call it a forbidden ability." ”

"Hey, are you listening to me? Wendy angrily lifts one of Darko's ears, and the pain pulls Darko back to reality from the thrill of exercising naming rights.

"Ah, it hurts!" Darko grinned, "If you have something to say, why do you have to do it......"

"This is a very important matter, and it is related to your personal safety!" Wendy still glared at Darko angrily, as if she was very angry that Darko didn't listen to her, "In the future, you are not allowed to use your 'forbidden' bloodline ability unless you have to!"

Darko was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"I don't know how you acquired this power, but when you use it, my spirit will feel an inexplicable sense of fear, as if it has been attacked by a weakened will. Wendy's body trembled involuntarily as she thought back to that feeling, "Since my spirit feels this way, so will the other gods." If you don't want to be wanted by the thirteen gods of the entire plane at the same time, you have to listen to me, and you are not allowed to use that ability again!"

"If you don't need it, you don't need to fight against other people's forbidden curses all the time anyway. Darko, of course, knew the dangers of using Flounder's blood, so he casually responded, and suddenly he realized what Wendy said, "Wait, you say Spirit?

"It's a long story. Wendy sighed faintly, and bit by bit told the cause and effect of the incident.

Listening to Wendy's story, Darko's mouth gradually opened in surprise, and he finally realized that everyone has their own thrilling story. Darko thought that the hunt for the past year was something no one else had experienced, but from Wendy's past, he learned that everyone faced a different dilemma. Compared with Darko's desperate pursuit of death for a year, Wendy's experience of enduring counterattacks with the weak side for many years actually requires more firm will and careful planning.

After a long time, Wendy's narration has stopped, but Darko still has his mouth wide open, and his heart is tumbling, and he can't calm down for a long time. He finally connected the cause and effect, and muttered, "Sure enough, you took me with you to the Temple of Prophecy in St. Pryface to avoid the people of your church. ”

"At that time, you were an unbeliever, not affiliated with any power, and you also had the God of Prophecy, who was the best person to help me hide my identity. Wendy's answer was simple and direct, but Darko, who knew the whole story, didn't mean to blame it at all, he felt that he couldn't have done better in that situation to try to fight back against the gods and churches he once believed in.

Darko suddenly thought of the key point, and hurriedly asked, "The Priffith deal is not a fair deal, what do you need to pay?"

Seeing Darko's concern, Wendy smiled, "Don't worry, trade faith for faith, probably because Priffith thinks that I can become a god after stealing the soul, and the transaction period will be five years later, no one can say what the situation will be at that time." ”

"Faith for faith?" Darko wondered, "Don't you need a way to resist the gods, and what does that have to do with faith?"

"The gods are gods precisely because they are able to draw the power of the faith of their believers and make it their own power. The difference between the soul of a god and the soul of a mortal is that it contains the power of faith. Wendy said, and radiated some of the spiritual power that had just been restored, so that Darko could sense the belief in it, "The gods draw faith through the dioceses controlled by the mortal church, and the believers in these dioceses will generate faith when they pray, and the absorption of faith is like a sea of rivers, which is gathered through a network, and the nodes in this faith network are called the person of God, or simply called the Godhead." ”

"Godhead?" Darko naturally knew about Godhead, but he didn't expect Wendy's method of resisting the arrival of Godhead to be related to Godhead.

Wendy asked rhetorically, "How much do you know about the Godhead?"

In fact, Darko knew a lot, being hunted down by VitB12 on the Mercury plane, and he had to send himself to prison, where he spent a whole day reading through the canons of thirteen churches. No matter which church's canons, a great deal of space is devoted to the great process of the gods being canonized, so as to cultivate believers' sense of identification with the gods. And the attainment of the priesthood and the acquisition of the godhead are the two most important steps in the process of canonization, so it is naturally written in great detail. Although there are also exaggerated elements in it, but under the mutual corroboration, Daktronics has also obtained information that is very close to the truth.

"When the number of organisms in a plane reaches a certain threshold, a collective consciousness is created. The plane wants to maintain its normal operation, but the collective consciousness is difficult to coordinate into independent thinking, so the collective consciousness separates the laws of different planes, so that different laws correspond to different beliefs. When living beings are afraid of death, they have faith in life, when they are afraid of cold, they have faith in fire, when they are afraid of darkness, they have faith in light, and when they sigh about their own insignificance, they have faith in the sky and the earth. These beliefs arise spontaneously, carried by spiritual forces, and brought together through an invisible network to give rise to the person of God. ”

"Your understanding is quite deep. Wendy looked at Darko in a little surprise, and added to him, "Godhead is actually a network node like that in a law, and the trust gathered by the entire belief network will be gathered into several nodes, and after the god obtains the godhead, he can absorb the trust in the faith network through a corresponding node." In this way, it is equivalent to carrying the soul with the godhead, so the strength of the soul will no longer be limited by the body, which is also the fundamental reason why the soul is strong. ”

Darko savored Wendy's words carefully before he raised his head sharply and asked with a trembling voice, "So, the God of Prophecy has given you a godhead?"

Wendy nodded slightly, "Only in this way can we assimilate the power of faith in Cillesson's soul when he comes, instead of being assimilated by him in reverse." ”
