349 The Dark Orc Temple

Cosmos at night is not a good place to go out.

Not only because of the chaotic relationship, but also because at this time, when you go out, the chance of encountering those troubled waters will also increase.

In addition, the people of the Order have been wandering back and forth and patrolling all corners of Cosmos, and once they find out, they may be caught without saying a word, interrogated, and even arrested as suspicious characters, so no one dares to come out and wander around at night.

But with Emerald leading, Sheehan walked out of the hotel.

"Have you been to Cosmos? Jadeite? ”

Seeing Emerald walking in front of her, Sheen was indeed a little surprised.

The main reason is that even if you have been to Cosmos, the current situation of Cosmos is unlikely to make people familiar with the terrain here.

Who makes it possible for the location of the buildings here to change at any time, and not even to know where they can be passed?

So, it stands to reason that even those who are familiar with Cosmos should not be able to walk so easily here, not to mention that the buildings of Cosmos have been moved by Sheen today, so that the layout of the city has long been lost.

But Jade walked in front of her with a very purposeful purpose, and her steps did not hesitate at all, which really made Sheen feel strange.

“......”

I don't know if Jade noticed the surprise in Sheen's heart, but she turned around, looked at Sheen, didn't say anything, just took Sheen's hand and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, Sheen could only suppress the doubts in his heart, took the holy sword, and followed the jade to turn left and right in the paths.

At this turn, the two of them turned for nearly two hours before they walked out of the complex and intertwined paths and entered a flat land.

Sheen only felt a sudden opening in front of him, and the group of buildings without any order disappeared behind him, and only a forest field was imprinted in his eyes.

"Here it is... Is it in the suburbs? ”

Sheen glanced around, confirming where it was.

With this confirmation, Sheehan denied what he had just said.

"It's not a suburb."

If it's a suburb, you should be able to see the city walls of Cosmos.

As a fortress city, Cosmos is surrounded by high walls, and the closer you get to the outskirts, the more you can see them.

But now, Sheehan doesn't see the walls around it, which proves that not only is this not a suburb, but also a part of Cosmos that is closer to the center.

"It's the heart of the city, but there's no buildings at all?"

This is unlikely.

Unless...

"The buildings here have been moved."

If that's the case, it's interesting.

Because, in an entire area, not a single building was left, all of them were transferred, and Sheehan would never believe that this was an accident.

What's more, when he entered Cosmos, Sheen had already discovered the anomaly of the magic here with Ae.

And after entering this area, the magic anomaly in the air became more obvious and more intense.

In this way, Sheehan has reason to believe one thing.

That's...

"This is where the weirdness comes in... Is it? ”

Sheen narrowed his eyes and looked at the forest in front of him.

On the side, Jade also watched quietly here, and only after a while did she continue to take Lashien's hand and signal him to move forward.

"Okay, let's go."

Sheen naturally didn't refuse, and nodded with a smile as he walked forward.

This time, the two walked for a full half an hour.

Until, led by Jade, Sheen came to a place.

It was a place where the temple sits.

The temple was large and very high, standing like a hill between the flat ground, and it looked like it was majestic.

However, such a majestic temple is actually pitch black in color, and it is also covered with thorns and vines.

It doesn't look like a solemn sacred place at all, but rather like a dark castle where vampires are imprisoned, and it's heart-wrenching.

"Where did such a strange temple come from?"

Sheehan blinked, somewhat stunned.

Jade also stared at the temple, her eyes drooping, and for a moment a trace of irritability and rejection flashed.

But there was obviously a sense of repulsion, but Emerald still pulled Lashien and pointed to the dark temple.

"Uh," Sheehan said with some clarity, "you're letting me in?" ”

Jade nodded suddenly.

"Okay."

Sheehan was somewhat helpless.

No way.

Thanks to the [Magic Perception] skill, Sheehan has discovered that the entire strange magic in Cosmos flows from that temple.

The temple was like a whirlpool, and there was magic flowing around it, and it was not sucking in, but out, as if it was repelling everything around it, and the waves of magic were rushing around, which was very spectacular.

Sheehan even felt that the reason for the inexplicable diversion in Cosmos was because of the influence of the magic released by this temple.

Those magic powers, as if they were repelling something, pushed away the buildings and lives in the surrounding area, causing all the buildings in this area to disappear and be transferred to other places, and the magic is still gradually expanding its influence, resulting in a lot of transfer around it.

In such a situation, Sheehan felt that as soon as he got close to the past, he would immediately be transferred somewhere else.

"If it weren't for that, the First Knights and the Knights of Broken Blade wouldn't be here, would they?"

That's what Sheehan thought.

It's just that...

"It seems that there are people who are not affected by this magic..."

Sheen immediately cast his gaze around the dark temple.

There, there were figures walking around.

"Orcs... Is it? ”

Yes.

The figures walking around the Dark Temple were orcs.

They are all dressed in animal skins, but they are dressed differently from ordinary orcs, not only do they have mysterious tattoos painted on their bodies, but they also wear crowns made of animal hair on their heads, which is quite like the priests of the tribe.

The orc priests were guarding the dark temple, their expressions full of vigilance, and the security was as strong as a military powerhouse.

Relying on the [Identification] skill, Sheen was able to peek through the ranks of these orc priests.

"All of them are above level sixty?"

This strength is already far stronger than the average knights, and it is almost close to the kingdom's Knights of the Guards in terms of level standards.

Why did such a powerful group of orcs appear here and watch around that temple like that?

"I seem to have heard Vivien mention that although orcs have the same faith as humans, they only believe in the goddess of life among the three goddesses."

Sheehan couldn't help but recall things about orcs.

A subhuman who has some of the characteristics of a beast, that is, an orc.

If the elves are a well-known magical race, then the orcs are a well-known fighting nation, although they generally lack magical talents, they are born with sharp senses, outstanding physical ability, and their talents in melee combat are known as the best of the human race, unmatched.

And depending on the breed, the racial advantage of the orcs is also very different.

For example, among the orcs, the cat people have a keen sense of hearing and excellent agility, and are quick to deal with enemies, while the dog people have a keen sense of smell and outstanding strength in their limbs, and are mostly guerrilla and detecting beings.

The rest of the Pigmen are resilient pigmen, werewolves who are agile and dexterous, and bunnies who are incredibly bouncing, and orcs have a variety of different breed talents, and even their personalities are greatly affected by the breed.

For example, the arrogance of werewolves, the excessive vigilance of cat people, and the loyalty of dog people once they have sworn allegiance are all characteristics of orcs.

Such orcs are also extremely capable of reproduction, and they are on a par with humans, and they are the most populous types of the human race, but the orcs have not established their own country, but exist in the form of tribes, and they have their habitats in all countries in the human world.

Because of the law of the jungle and the fragility of life, the orcs regard the goddess of life among the three goddesses as the highest belief and only accept the blessings of the goddess of life.

Orcs also receive blessings in a different form than humans.

After the birth of children, human beings are brought by their parents to the nearest shrine, where they are blessed by the goddesses of the gods through the guidance of the priests.

Orcs are different.

It is said that the blessing of the orcs was performed by a saint from the clan.

The Holy Maiden is the most loyal devotee of the Goddess of Life, and will give everything she has to the Goddess of Life, and when a child is born in the clan, she will pray to the Goddess of Life, asking the Goddess of Life to give her the power to exercise blessings and bless the children in the clan.

Of course, this blessing is not a blessing given by the Goddess of Life herself.

Since the Goddess of Life is the Mother of all things, the Mother of all life, she is able to bless all life in the world through her own power.

That kind of blessing is basically a degraded version of the blessing of the goddess of life, and the blessing itself is divided into strong and weak, some are comparable to the blessings of the higher gods, and some are only equivalent to the blessings of the lower gods, but in any way they are not as good as the blessings bestowed by the goddess of life herself.

In this way, the holy women of the orc race are able to perform miracles within the race by offering everything to the goddess of life, praying to the goddess of life, and asking the goddess to temporarily grant her various powers.

For this reason, the status of the saintess of the orc race is very high, and they will be regarded as the objects that must be guarded before they are born, so that the race will train a priesthood group for this saint from an early age, which is specifically responsible for guarding the saintess, escorting the saintess, and even giving advice.

The holy daughter of the orc clan is generally served by a fox man who has the magical talent that the rest of the orcs lack, and this fox man will also be protected by the clan immediately after birth, and will not easily appear in the world and be known to the world.

Now, there is a temple guarded by orcs, who are dressed like priests.

Don't...

"They are the orc priestess?"

If that's the case, then whose temple is it that they are guarding?

"The goddess of life?"

Sheehan couldn't help but ponder.
