Chapter 166 Atonement and Confession
If the crystal cluster protected by Qitana was a seedling, then the crystal in the cave of the Eight Eyes had become a towering tree. Just inside the stalagmite mountain in their center, in the protective mezzanine made of many black stone bricks, the crystal clusters had reached a height of thirty meters and almost the same diameter.
There is no need to get close at all, just standing next to the blackstone protective wall, you can clearly feel the surging power of the crystal. Fege felt pure power from that power, whether it was creation or destruction, as long as he had this crystal, everything was under control.
"We have been here for six hundred years, waiting for the Prophecy to appear. Under our watch, the crystal continued to grow, and its power grew stronger, so we removed some of the surrounding blackstones and built this layer of separation. The High Godmother proudly said to Feiqi, "Crystals have many functions, and you only need to remove a little from the crystal to make the spell cast an irresistible effect. Lord Feiqi, you're also a spellcaster, aren't you going to take a piece?"
Feige shook his head. The crystal in front of him is a good thing that even the gods crave, and it is fake to say that Feige is not tempted, but you can't ignore the danger just because it's a good thing. The Cult of Destruction and Rebirth, or the followers of the Creator, is a dangerous one, but one that can be predicted, defeated, and destroyed, and Feige is not very worried. Feige is only afraid of the crystal's demagogic effect, which makes people feel as if they have been brainwashed and forcibly obeyed. It's not just the human part of his soul that is afraid, but even the devilish part wants to stay away.
"I prefer to use powers that I can understand and master, crystal clusters are not something that mortals should touch. Liz, do you have a safe way to use the crystal, can you take one of it and take it out of the cave so that I can sacrifice it to the Goddess of Truth Thunder. ”
"The crystal can be wrapped in the skin of a rat and it will be dormant. Liz tore a piece of leather straight from the hem of her skirt, broke off a small piece from the nearest crystal, wrapped it up and handed it to Feige. "Is that enough?"
This casual break was equivalent to more than a quarter of Chitana's crystal, how could it not be enough? Feiqi carefully took it and checked it with his hand. The crystal was light, as if it had no weight, and Feige felt like there was nothing but leather in his hands. The hard and angular touch doesn't deceive, though, and Feige knows the crystal is within.
When he showed the crystal to his companions, the elves all stared at it with curious eyes. "That's what the oracle wants, how many of them are there?" asked Didlet.
"A lot. Fei Qi said for the Eight Eyes: "There are so many that you can't notify the Patriarch, and you have to report directly to the Goddess." ”
"How can you report to the goddess without informing the cardinal?" Dededre shook her head: "Don't look at me, we don't know how to use magic rituals, only the archbishop has learned it, and only the archbishop has the ability to perform it." Feiqi, do you know how to use the magic ritual?"
"You've said that archbishops are capable, how could I have studied?, but if I could read it carefully, maybe I might be able to crack the ritual spell. ”
Feige decides to use the ritual of atonement and confession to communicate with the goddess. He would rather let the little angel of the Holy Light go to the heavenly realm to "complain" than the cardinal intervene in this matter. There is his selfishness in this, because the cardinal has nothing to do with him as soon as he comes, and an ordinary priest of atonement and confession, and the presiding priest of a fortress, add up to no higher status than a bishop, let alone the archbishops. Talking directly to the goddess, he can represent the Eight Eyes Clan, and the goddess's reward must be far superior to that of the Patriarch, there is no doubt about it.
And when they had agreed, they returned to the surface along the passage through which they had entered. They had to get out of the blackstone blockade before they could communicate with the Celestial Realm, but this caused a lot of trouble for the Yamu clan - the Supreme Godmother Liz couldn't get out of the passage, she was too big. "You must be present in this matter, and only you know best what the Eight Eyes need. Fei Qi said that he was willing to wait, anyway, if the spider males of the Eight Eyes Clan could dig out the palace and rooms, they would definitely be able to dig out the passage.
In order to show that he would not start the ritual alone behind their backs, Feige has been with the Eight Eyes, using spells to assist the Eight Eyes in their work of digging passages. The elves joined in, and although they were far less efficient than the spiders, they at least won the favor of the Eight-Eyed Clan. In the end, Mohm, the half-dwarf who remained on the ground, plucked up the courage to break into the "rat hole" again, and after meeting with everyone, he offered a lot of suggestions to improve the efficiency of work. After about sixteen hours, the Yamu clan finally saw the light of day.
It was early in the morning, and the sun had just risen over the eastern horizon, and the light was turning from golden to brilliant brightness. The Supreme Godmother covered her eyes with her hands, but even the little light that leaked through her fingers dazzled her. She's okay, just a little shaky in the sun. The ordinary eight-eyed people couldn't open their eyes at all, and they could only retract into the cave in amazement.
"I'll do it as soon as possible. Seeing this, Feiqi cast the seal of atonement and confession, releasing the little angel of the Holy Light. He rubbed his fingers lightly on the round head of the light ball, and then said, "I have given you an important task: go to the heavenly realm to find the goddess, and say that Feige Hall, who she once favored her, will pray to her to atone for her sins." ”
The little angel of the Holy Light flapped his wings vigorously, swayed his body from side to side, and then said in a very reluctant tone: "Ah...... You can atone for your sins, but the devil who enters the cardinal system will be purified, and you will die!"
"Therefore you have to go directly to the Goddess, any angel may purify me, only the Goddess can forgive, I can only ask you. Feiqi said, "I will continue to provide mana to the Seal of Atonement and Confession, and I am here to help you." ”
The little angel of the Holy Light said that he would do his best, and then flapped his wings and flew into the sky. Feige kept an eye on it, wanting to see how high it could be to go to the Celestial Realm. However, the celestial realm is not a concept of height, but space. The Angel of Light suddenly disappeared less than twenty meters from the ground, leaving no trace.
At the same time, Fei Qi felt that the mana consumption of the Confession of Atonement Seal had risen sharply, and it was like a boulder weighing down. He quickly sat down cross-legged, using a meditative state to reduce the energy he spent on other spells, and focus on maintaining the magic seal. The boulder remained in a state for two minutes, and the pressure suddenly increased, and Feige felt as if he had been pressed against his shoulder by a car.
Beads of sweat frequently appeared on his forehead, and everyone wanted to share it for him, but there was no way to think about it. Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and after about half a minute, the pressure was completely gone.
Without warning, the little angel of the Holy Light appeared in front of Feiqi, having changed form. The dragonfly-like transparent wings were replaced by four pairs of lightning wings, and golden flames burned on its round body. The flames grew stronger and stronger, from the light of a fist-sized torch to a huge flame more than five meters high. Immediately after, countless lightning bolts spawned out of thin air in the center of the flames, tearing a hole in all directions, and a woman made of thunder walked out of the flames. The goddess descends.
The goddess in everyone's eyes is different, she has a thousand appearances, each with majesty, love, and wisdom. Everyone knelt down with tears in their eyes, and they couldn't help themselves with emotion. As a paladin, Didriet trembled all over, and she looked down at the feet of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder with great satisfaction, and only then did she feel that she had no regrets in this life.
Only Feige and Liz were standing. One is not feeling pressure, and the other is the approval of the goddess. However, 1.8 meters, 3.2 meters, and 5.6 meters stood together and couldn't speak at all, so the Goddess of Truth Thunder gently flipped her wrist and lowered her height in sync with Liz, becoming about the same as Feige.
"Goddess, you are so full of wisdom, and this is really much better. Fei Qi hurriedly said: "This is Liz, the supreme godmother of the Eight Eyes Clan, she is from ......"
"I met your mother, who was studying with your grandmother and had just met your father. The goddess interrupted Fei Qi's words and said directly: "I didn't expect to see the Eight Eyes Clan in this world. ”
"Goddess, I don't know what to say......" Liz faced the goddess directly, only to feel that her mouth was dry, she couldn't get up any thoughts, and she couldn't say what she thought about. "Please...... Please ......"
With a gentle wave of the goddess's hand, Liz found herself speechless. The Goddess of Truth Thunder turned to look at Feiqi: "Little Holy Light is breaking in and sneaking today, and he has caused a lot of trouble in the Kingdom of God, just to pass on a word for you." I know what you're going to say, but you've got to be worthy of its efforts. ”
"Of course, I have nothing but gratitude to the little angels of Light. Fei Qi wiped the sweat from his head and quickly said, "Goddess, I want to confess to you. ”
"It's not sincere. The goddess shook her head: "But you want to hear it?"
Feige looked left and right, Beni and Shani were not a big problem, but the elves were on their knees, close at hand. The Goddess of Truth Thunder looked at Feiqi with a smile on her face and said, "There is only one confession worthy of my personal coming, don't say wrong!"
"I ...... My biggest problem is ......" Feige gritted his teeth and was about to say that he had a devil in his soul, but he was suddenly startled and reacted. There is a devil in the soul, which is a serious sin according to the canon, but this incident was not caused by himself, but happened when he crossed over, and he was also a victim. The goddess said "there is only one confession", could it be this?
Feige pondered, and the crystal crystal cluster dissected his soul during the previous trial, which helped Feige rediscover himself. Gradually, Fei Qi realized, and he said, "Goddess, I am very stubborn and do not believe in the gods, even if I face you and see your strength and wisdom, I do not want to believe in you. I carry the emblem of the thunder of truth and speak the words of the canon, but I am not a true believer and pastor. And even now, I stubbornly refuse to believe in you, willing only to believe in my own efforts. ”
There is a devil in the heart, in fact, many people are like this in their hearts, and it is because of this that we must strive to be good and abandon the devil's invasion. However, there are few people who do not believe in gods like Feige, at least not in this world.
"You're the most stubborn I've ever met, but you always surprise me. With a flick of the goddess's fingers, crystal clusters flew out of the leather, into her palms, and vanished like sugar dissolved in water. "I know you're not religious, so you'll ask for something. Feige, what do you want? Or does this eight-eyed spider have something to want?"
"I want you to shelter her whole race, accept them, and allow them to adapt to the world. ”
"There is no problem with acceptance, but not with shelter and adaptation. I still have important things to do, and I can't waste my strength. The goddess waved her hand, "Don't let the little holy light risk this kind of trivial matter in the future, it is very hard to do this, do you know?"
The goddess was about to enter the passage formed by the thunder and leave, when Feige suddenly rushed up and stopped her with an outstretched arm. "There are many more crystals, just down there. The blackstone wraps around it, and I don't know if you found it, but I have to try to warn you. ”
"Do you think there's anything I don't know? Do you think you're more knowledgeable than I am?"
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, what matters is that I have to do it, even if it's offended. I promised the Yamu clan to help them fulfill their prophecy, and since it was a contract, then I would at least do my best. ”
"Hmph, hahaha, Feige, are you a person who is dedicated to the contract?" the goddess shook her head. "Tell me how many contracts you've actually completed. ”
"All. Fei Qi said these two words firmly, without any explanation, he just continued to stretch out his arms in front of the goddess, stubborn as a sculpture.
"From the beginning, I knew you were a fun guy. The goddess held out her hand and put it on Feige's arm. In that instant, a terrible electric current passed through Feige's body, and he was unscathed. "I warn the world to fear the thunder, but the truth is before the thunder. ”
With a thud, Feige and the Goddess of Truth Thunder disappeared from everyone's eyes. Immediately after, a bolt of thunder shone from the passage connecting the underground cavern, and the rumbling thunder followed. Liz exclaimed, turned around and was about to return to the passage, only to find that she was cut off by some invisible force field, and she couldn't get down. She pounded the hole so hard that she wept in horror.
At the same time, Feige finds himself standing in front of a giant crystal cluster with the goddess right by his side. The body of thunder continued to radiate lightning outwards, striking the walls of the black stone hard, and the pieces fell like a torrential rain. However, none of the Eight Eyes took even the slightest damage from this, neither from lightning nor from gravel.
"The oracle asked us to find it, it's not a crystal cluster, right?"
"Not really. The goddess nodded. She looked at the crystal and was silent for a while before she said slowly, "Feiqi, I'm glad you stopped me. ”
"You really don't know there's something down here?"
"If you're in the Church, you're really looking for death with this question. The goddess narrowed her eyes, and the thunder released from her body suddenly became ten times stronger, and the entire cave was filled with dazzling light, and the eight-eyed clan rolled in pain, covering their eyes with both hands. But the light had no effect on Feige at all, as if it was deliberately bypassing him.
"Come at me with your anger, they ......"
"You don't know the history of the Yamu clan, I don't blame you. I just want you to know that they're not innocent. The goddess looked at Feiqi and finally said, "The truth is before the thunder...... Well, you're right, I really didn't know there were so many crystals out there. Will you be disappointed that I am not omniscient and do not have all the truth?"
