The altar hidden at the bottom of the lake was only used to purify the sacristy and would not be easily seen by the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Most of the people present had only seen it on various sources, but when they saw it with their own eyes today, there was a sense of joy that filled a great regret, and everyone was excited to talk about it with the people around them.

Amid the noise, Keichaga had asked the twelve white-clothed maidens who had already been prepared to lead the way to the altar for the high priest.

The twelve girls all have delicate faces and graceful postures, which are pleasing to the eye.

No one deliberately emphasized it, and the surroundings soon fell silent, and people watched the movements of the group of girls intently.

I saw the girl in a group of two, with slender steps under her feet, and she walked up the steps.

The first group holds water bottles and dips water from the bottles with olive branches and sprinkles them on the steps; the second group holds the torch; The third group holds flowers; the fourth group holds an incense burner; The fifth group holds the poetry and plays the beautiful music; The sixth group played the recorder and played the lyre.

This ritual continues the ancient tradition and has never changed.

After all the twelve maidens stepped on the steps, the high priest solemnly held a crystal box and followed the girl's footsteps towards the altar.

He was dressed in a white robe, with a silver-black mask, and gray hair on his head, but his gait was steady. The box he was holding contained the holy artifact.

When the maiden came to the altar, she stopped and lined up on either side of the steps, and at last only the high priest walked up to the altar.

When he stood on the altar, the east was already full of colorful and splendid sky, and a red sun slowly rose in the glow.

The high priest took out the sacred covenant from the crystal box, carried it with both hands to the pillar in the center of the altar, and then began to pray with his mouth, and all of them prayed in their hearts.

The holy vessel is being cleansed with holy water to remove all impurities from the outside and restore the original cleanliness and sacredness so that it can be enshrined in the temple.

Under the sun, the lake and the altar were also dyed red, and the sun pattern in the center of the altar became even more vivid and red.

The gems on the holy artifact gradually emitted layers of ring-shaped white light, and under the red light in the sky, even the originally very pure white light was reddish. The light spread and soon enveloped the entire lake.

The brilliance of the holy vessel and the light of the sun reflect each other, as if in some kind of mystical exchange.

While everyone was amazed by this beautiful scene, they felt a sense of peace in their hearts like never before.

Looking at the light blankly, if you are not careful, you will have the feeling of being sucked into the white light, similar to the first time you saw the Hallows.

But I don't know why, this kind of induction is mixed with a little unease, and the light seems to be different from the last time.

"October, don't you think today's artifact is a little different?"

He couldn't let go of the doubts in his heart, so he stretched his neck and whispered to ask October in the front row.

After hearing this, October took a closer look at the altar and said, "I don't feel anything, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know, I'm just a little concerned, I think it's weird, but I can't say what's weird."

"You're thinking too much. Maybe it was made like that last time by the holy artifact, so when I said goodbye, I naturally felt a sense of fear. ”

"Perhaps."

Since October doesn't feel it, I won't say more.

Perhaps, as October said, he was a little apprehensive because he was afraid of the holy weapon.

However, just as he was thinking this, a black dot suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then disappeared in the red and white light.

What is that?

"Did you see the black dot that just flashed on the altar?"

This time he asked the people on the left and right, and the people around him shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

He looked around for a while, and saw that the faces of the others were calm, and no one showed any surprise or confusion.

He could be sure that it wasn't a hallucination, so why was he the only one who saw it? Everyone was obviously looking at the altar very seriously, why didn't anyone notice?

It's kind of weird.

Could it be, could it be something that only he could see?

Yes, possibly.

Just like the last time in the research base of Kannayu, he was the only one who was sucked away by the divine contract. Thousand Shadows said that it was because the Divine Contract was a Sacred Artifact of Light, and there was some kind of special connection between it and those with light powers.

It makes sense.

What is the black dot sending to him? Do you want to explain that there is a mistake in the ceremony?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously shook his head. Probably not, there is a high priest who is dedicated to this, how can it be his turn to find the problem?

He forcibly put aside his doubts and told himself not to be cranky, and to follow the example of some people who prayed with their eyes closed.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of many people emerging from the holy vessel appeared in his mind.

Those people were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, all of them were fierce and vicious, and they looked like they wanted to eat people. Then a fire broke out, and the people gathered at the top of the mountain were surrounded by the flames, wailing and running around with their heads in their hands.

He was so shocked that he quickly opened his eyes and looked at the altar. This time, I saw a few black rays emitting from the holy artifact.

Something bad is bound to happen.

This sense of foreboding had turned into a strong premonition that haunted him, and he could not sit idly by, and he had to remind everyone, preferably to tell the High Priest.

He immediately rushed to the front of the line, then ran to the steps leading to the altar, ignoring the strange eyes of the crowd and shouted to the altar: "Lord Priest, please stop the purification ritual quickly, there is something wrong with the holy artifact." ”

The silence was broken by his shout, and the crowd was in an uproar.

"What's the matter with that kid? Dare to run out and interrupt the ceremony. Someone blamed indignantly.

What did he say? Having a problem with the Hallows? "Someone started thinking.

"I remember he's an ugly-faced kid, is there some intention for him to say that?" Some frowned and were skeptical.

“……”

The whispered discussion of the crowd then turned into a collective condemnation, and the spearhead was pointed at the person standing by the steps.

"Hey, you kid, come back and don't get in the way of the ceremony."

"It's just that no one can approach the altar."

"Get back."

"Get back."

Everyone began to chant in unison, and the layers of sound were like a tidal wave.

In desperation, he turned to the Holy Division and said, "Please believe me, Lord Holy Division, something terrible may really happen if the ritual continues. ”

Although Keicho didn't reproach him like the others, he didn't seem to believe his words very much.

"Qixing, you come back first, and I'll talk about it after the ceremony is over. Now that the purification has begun, it cannot be done halfway. ”

"No, it'll be too late by then." Break became even more anxious, and his tone became very flustered: "Please believe me, I am not lying, and I am not making trouble." I really saw a lot of people coming out of the altar. ”

His words sounded like madness to those present.

Even October and Xixia persuaded him to return to the team in An'an as soon as possible, because they were afraid that if he continued to make trouble, it would arouse the anger of the masses.

Seeing that no one believed him, he had to turn around and run straight to the altar.

"Catch him, don't let him do anything bad."

Someone gave the order, and several figures flashed out of the legion to catch up with the suspended steps, and soon someone blocked the broken path.

"Get out of the way, I don't have time to argue with you."

Immediately urged the divine power to drive away the people in front of him.

At this time, the voice of a thousand shadows sounded behind him: "Seven stars, don't do it." ”
