Chapter 147: A Treasure That Can Bewitch the Gods
A king, the previous king of death buried hundreds of thousands of elite demons in one fell swoop.
If it weren't for the Demon God Baimon himself, even the Demon Commander Occam would have been able to kill him.
Now, this ruin has made him faintly retreat.
The Lord of Fire, O'Neins, is none other than Eve's father, a king who rules over a vast totemic realm and enjoys the reverence of countless people.
At the beginning, he was in charge of the royal capital Mosika, and the legendary powerhouses under his command reached double digits, and the number under the legend was even more exaggerated.
The total strength of the other party is no less than that of the current imperial family, and even surpasses it, comparable to the seven major churches.
In the era when the other party was in charge of the royal capital, even the seven major churches were not qualified to enter the royal capital to preach, and they were driven out by it.
As a result, when the dream abyss descended and wanted to devour the entire royal capital, the other party disappeared mysteriously.
A king, he disappeared without a trace, and no one could contact him.
Until the fall of the royal capital Moseska, who was swallowed by the abyss of dreams, the other party did not show up.
In fact, if the other party had been able to come back earlier, Mosika, the king, would not have fallen at all.
Not to mention those dream plagues, even if several demon legions descend at the same time, they can be easily strangled by him.
However, without ifs, Moses Card became a ruined city in the dream world.
It was in it that Sauron found Eve and other men.
The strange disappearance of the other party has become the most puzzling thing for Eve and the entire royal capital.
There was no fighting, no language, and the other side just disappeared out of thin air.
"So, there might be some secrets lurking in here?" Zoro stared around with burning eyes.
His instinct told him that he should leave, but with the treasure left behind by a king, it is estimated that no one would evacuate so easily.
After a simple search, one can see a ruined stone palace on the opposite side of the square.
It looks like a stone palace that has existed for tens of thousands of years.
Even the top has weathered and disappeared, and a faint glowing altar can be seen inside, on which a book is enshrined.
A book?
When Zoro saw the book now, he couldn't help but think of the powerful treasures such as the Demon Codex and the Blood Catalog.
You can even think of the figure standing under the tree of wisdom, the woman who seems to represent knowledge.
In this world, many powerful treasures seem to be related to "books".
Knowledge is power, and it manifests itself to the fullest.
When you get a little closer, you can see that it is a book with a black cover, about a foot square.
On the cover, the painter has a smiling skull head with countless complex and chaotic patterns, which looks extremely weird.
It has a dark gold metal trim around the edges, and a corresponding curb chain button that imprisons it.
If you look closely, you can see that the texture of this book is very special, and he can't help but think of the human skin spell book he got from that necromancer earlier.
This book also seems to be made of human skin.
Faintly, you can see the edges of the blood-colored text inside, leaking a pungent bloody aura.
Obviously, this is an evil book written in human skin and blood as ink.
Airplanes!
As he looked at it, a blinding, strange green glow suddenly bloomed on the page, enveloping the surroundings in the color of nature.
At this moment, Sutton, who was next to him, suddenly walked forward, and reached out to touch the book with blank eyes.
Zoro wanted to force him back, but after thinking about it, he decided to let him test it.
Anyway, it's just a lowest-ranking minion, and if he dies, he won't lose much.
And he himself took Everaymond and the others back hundreds of meters.
Sutton stretched out his hand and opened the cover with a dull expression, and a strange wave swept around in an instant.
This fluctuation was like some kind of terrifying mental fluctuation, which made Zoro feel a change of color behind him.
I only felt that something had gotten into my head, madly bewitching him and making him believe in the only true God.
An obscuring image appeared in his mind, wanting to make him a fanatical believer in the other party.
"Damn, it's the Xi Rui Sutra!"
Zoro was taken aback, he didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying artifact here.
That's right, this thing is the Ciri Sutra, the craziest artifact ever created by a mad god.
Anyone who reads this book will be brainwashed by the strange abilities that shroud it into becoming a fanatical believer in that god.
Not even the gods are immune to this brainwashing!
Over the course of his remembered history, more than one god had been brainwashed by this terrifying artifact.
If this thing is taken out, it can be called the most incomprehensible brainwashing code.
All who see and hear it, whatever god you used to believe, will now only believe in that god.
And that god, whose name is the dark sun—
Ciric!
A utter madman who dares to claim to be the only true God.
All the other gods are false god madmen.
It was precisely because he was so crazy that he was suppressed by the gods together, and almost deprived him of his godhead divinity and turned him into a mortal.
Zoro didn't expect that he would encounter such a terrifying artifact.
He vaguely understood why Eve's father disappeared without a trace, and it was very likely that he was brainwashed by this artifact.
Even the true gods can't resist this brainwashing, let alone a king who is slightly weaker than the true gods!
"MMP, how do you deal with this thing?"
Zoro's scalp tingled, and the mental fluctuations in his mind became more and more intense, and he had to continue to retreat, trying to get away from this completely.
However, what made him a little devastated was that this Xirui Sutra actually flew directly over and fell in front of him.
Thankfully, the Demon Codex in his mind was triggered.
At the same time, a huge skinless net appeared, and countless messages flowed wildly.
Let Zoro once again vaguely see the tree of wisdom that seems to be bigger than the world.
Under this kind of information suppression, the Xi Rui Sutra, which was originally crazy and restless and wanted to devour him completely, finally returned to its quiet.
An peacefully melted into his spiritual sea, suspended beneath the Demon Codex.
Now, he already has three books in his spiritual sea, which are the Demon Codex, the Blood Catalog, and the current Ciri Sutra.
Even if he fell into his spiritual sea, Sauron couldn't mobilize it in the slightest.
At most, you can take it out, but taking it out means it's easy to get backfired.
Once you can't resist, you will instantly turn into a fanatical believer in that evil god.
A hot potato——
No, it's clearly a nuclear bomb that could detonate at any moment!
Now it's a big problem.
Zoro originally wanted to come in and discover some good things in order to continue to improve his strength, but he didn't expect to find such a "good thing".
With his current strength, it is impossible to pass the will test at all.
Not to mention him, even the kings could not resist such a horrific brainwashing.
If it weren't for the help of the Tree of Wisdom, he would have turned into a fanatical worshipper of the evil god who did not recognize his relatives.
Whoa!
At this moment, the Demon Codex suddenly flipped over, and a figure quietly appeared on the latest page.
A man who looked extremely burly and strong, with crimson lines on his face, and was wearing a gorgeous red armor.
[Minion]: O'Neill (Lord of Fire)
[Totem]: Flame Tyrant
[Grade]: King-level high-level
[Attributes]: Strength? Agile? Physique? Spirit?
[Passive ability]: ?
[Active Ability]: ?
[Description]: It requires 10 destruction points to summon, or 100 million source points.
This man is Eve's father!
A king, who fell into the Demon Codex and became one of his servants, made Sauron feel extremely unreal.
Obviously, the other party was brainwashed by Xi Rui's bewitchment, and since then he has been manipulated by this terrible artifact.
Or was simply sucked into this artifact, and only when the Ciri Sutra was suppressed by the Tree of Wisdom, it fell on the Demon Codex.
The summoning conditions are also very interesting to Sauron, which is no longer just a matter of destroying points, but can also be created by consuming source points.
Previously, in Neverwinter, he had gained a total of more than 20 million Source Points.
In this way, it seems that only five Neverwinter Cities can be gathered.
As for the seven major churches of the empire, all the temples together are estimated to be able to make up enough source points equivalent to several times or even more than ten times.
This made him sure that in the future, he would be more enthusiastic about collecting the power of faith.
It's just a little worried, how to fight those temples.
With his current strength, if he wants to fight against those temples, he is purely looking for death.
Next, they searched the palace.
It's a pity that tens of thousands of years have passed, and this place has completely turned into a ruin, except for the artifact of the Xirui Sutra, there are no precious treasures left at all.
Even if it is an extraordinary weapon, it can't stop tens of thousands of years of time.
The dragon, which is known as the long-lived dragon, has a lifespan of only 1,200 years, and the total history of the ancient civilization in the previous life is only 5,000 years.
Ten thousand years is a long time to a point that is completely unimaginable.
However, those demon gods possess immortal lifespans, and they are those demon gods when they are in the totem civilization.
Now, it's still those demon gods.
Pushing back further, it was those demon gods who destroyed several epochs of civilization.
The immortal lifespan allows these demon gods to unscrupulously use a world as farmland, cultivating countless harvest fruits that they all desire.
"Eternal immortal lifespan, I wonder when I will be able to do this?"
Sauron's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think about the ruins.
After a fruitless search, he naturally left this world quickly.
Next, he prepared to travel elsewhere and continue searching for those temples to plunder the vast power of faith.
Speaking of which, plundering the faith doesn't have to wait until the city is destroyed, there is a simpler way.
……
Five days later.
To the northeast of Neverwinter is a coastal port city with a population of 100,000.
The war has not yet reached this point, but people are panicking.
Many people know about the appearance of demons all over the world.
They didn't expect that the whole world would change dramatically as if overnight.
Demons that originally existed only in myths and legends have descended on this world and destroyed cities.
Countless people have been displaced and countless people have been buried in the tragic wars.
Ordinary people are vulnerable to facing demons, even in the face of cannon fodder among demons.
Unless you have a firearm in your hand, and your marksmanship is quite good, and your mentality is quite strong, you can barely fight against the most rubbish demons.
Even so, it comes at a terrible price.
Many demons have countless means and abilities, the most ordinary low-level panic arts, charm humans, etc., all of which can make ordinary people useless with Vulcan cannons!
In an instant, he will be hit and completely lose all ability to resist.
When troubled times came, the number of prayers in the temples of the seven major churches doubled.
Unable to fight the demons, the common people had to hope in the ethereal gods.
Every morning when the sun rises at the Temple of the Sun, a corresponding worship service is held.
Before that, hundreds of people came to participate every day.
But now, every morning there is a dense crowd of people, so exaggerated that it seems that the whole city has rushed over.
After the liturgy, Assistant Bishop Rothman was baptizing the crowd with blessings.
The assistant bishop, in effect, is the successor to the next bishop, a rather scorching position.
At this time, a noblely dressed young man walked from outside, and the other party smiled and said, "Lord Bishop, I want to accept the blessing of my lord. ”
A knight approached Rothman and whispered some of the other's actions.
It is an exaggerated move, in order to accept the baptism ceremony of the highest standard, the other party actually donated gold and gems worth more than 100,000 gold coins.
Such an exaggerated contribution is already more than the donations of believers in the Temple of the Sun in a year!
Even in such troubled times, the other party is the most wealthy man.
Money can be channeled, and such an exaggerated donation is naturally a requirement that has been satisfied.
The Temple of the Sun, or the major temples, have their own ceremonies of the highest standard.
That is, the believer is allowed to touch the idol located in the main temple in order to receive God's blessing baptism up close.
I don't know how many aristocratic and wealthy businessmen want to get such a baptism.
The baptism of the highest standard, in fact, is nothing special.
It doesn't provide you with any powerful buff blessings, it's just a pure psychological comfort.
Rothman watched as the other man put his hand on the idol's footsteps, bowing his head in prayer with a reverent expression.
He sprinkled holy water and said loudly in chanting tones: "May the Holy Light bless you, and your soul will enjoy the light of light......
"Thank you for your blessings." The other party said goodbye politely, and his face was still as pious as ever.
After the other party left, Rothman turned his head and looked at the idol with a strange expression, always feeling that something different seemed to have happened on it.
It's like, like something has been taken away.
But if he sensed it carefully, with his second-level and high-level strength, he didn't sense any difference at all, so he didn't care about it as an illusion.
After leaving the temple, Zoro couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he looked at the new seven-digit source point on the panel in his mind.
Outside, a carriage was already waiting, and he walked up and said lightly: "Go to the Temple of Wealth." ”
