Chapter 55: The Stone Chamber
The scenery next to the sinkhole has always been very good, and the forest dominated by coniferous broad-leaved forests is still maintaining its vigorous vitality, and the occasional green and yellow leaf floats overhead, making people feel just a hint of coolness near the end of the fruitful season. Until the onset of winter, these leaves will still stand tenaciously on the branches.
Lillian sat by the campfire with a few traces of green smoke remaining, staring at the ruby bracelet in her hand. Of course, she knew that the string of rubies contained the coordinates of the magical teleportation scroll engraved on it, and not that Orlan had given it to her as a souvenir.
For nearly a hundred hours, she had prayed to the string of rubies again and again, and even after a short break from exhaustion, she would suddenly wake up and see that the jewel in her hand was still intact. Continuing to hope, the next second, Orlan would be able to walk in front of her through a brilliant magic door.
Like a child of rage, Lillian hadn't eaten for four days, and she really wanted to starve herself to death. But fortunately, the string of rubies in his hand moved. A faint glow began to emanate, and you could feel the magic stored in the crystals begin to "resonate" with the magic in the surrounding space.
Then a pale blue bolt of magic came out of thin air, splitting to the sides. Through this faint door of magic and magic, Lillian finally saw the person in the darkness over there. Nothing has changed, he is intact. It's just that a pair of red eyes are no longer vertical pupils, but more human...... That is, why is he naked, with a red-haired woman in his arms?
Lilian didn't know why her originally happy heart suddenly cooled, but before she could say anything, she saw Oran's open mouth in the Magic Gate as if to say "take care of her". After all, voices can't come from inside the Magic Gate.
Who to take care of, is it this woman. Or is Orlan not going to come out? couldn't help but say, I saw Oran gently throw the woman in his arms over. To be honest, Lilian, who was a little annoyed, didn't want to catch her, but she didn't know why her body moved on its own, so she saw that the figure came to this world through the magic door, and then Lilian caught her steadily.
If it weren't for the fact that this was just a portal made of an ordinary primary magic scroll in one direction, I believe Lillian would have jumped over and asked Orlan why he had picked up a woman, the key is that she was still naked...... She hadn't even seen it herself. However, the door of magic has been closed, and the scattered magic has escaped and disappeared like glowing bugs.
……
In the old hunter's description, the statue of the Church of the Faceless is located at the end of the fall of Chiapas, in the palace at the base of the giant tree, and of course it should be their temple in the words of the Church of the Faceless.
Only "apostates" like the old hunter describe their incomparably sacred place as "palaces", and reduce the faceless god to the "sage" in his mouth, perhaps because there is still some admiration and some recognition in his heart.
And for Oran, it no longer matters what to call the serpentine monster with a large turtle shell that has fallen to the ground. All he had to do now was get out of here through the teleportation circle on this altar, and then he should be able to see Bonniel and ...... Well, it's portals again, and Oran really hates everything related to "teleportation".
So how do you activate this formation now? It stands to reason that in the past, sacrifices were made through the altar from that end, and after opening the portal, the "god" could be ushered in. So, if you turn on the teleportation in reverse here, do you need something to activate the altar?
Orlan thought for a moment and took off the cloak of this turtle shell bashide, after all, he was going to come as a "god" later, and it didn't seem to be good to be naked.
And then put this "true god" on the altar and there was no reaction? Orlan glanced at the strangely shaped sword on the ground, was it the weapon that the turtle shell was going to use to kill Yulia just now? Then let it taste for itself.
When the blood of the dead idol flowed out, as if alive, it flowed throughout the altar, and then the magic at the top of the altar began to converge, and a bright red magic door began to form. Oran pulled up the hood from his cloak and dragged the Faceless God up the steps with his right hand.
"The Faceless God is above, and every mortal has death; The souls of the ownerless are one, and all mortals need to serve! ”
……
"It's been more than four days, and there hasn't been any news from those two people. It seems that the silver-haired boy was too powerful to kill a fanatic like Abra, and I heard that they had broken through and Pagain was surrounded by the guards. It's really tricky, it seems that the 'black face' has really handed over all the housekeeping skills to him. ”
"Barlow, do you already regret it? You were the one who said you were going to use this silver-haired kid to make the strongest apostle, and then you were the one who wanted to kill the black face...... But you're the 'black face' now, and we all have to listen to you, don't we? ”
"After all, this is an oracle, and the Faceless God says so, and we all have to do it."
"If it's an oracle, why doesn't the Faceless God just tell us what the oracle is that the black face rots in the stomach is?"
"Jenaru, what makes you dare to ......"
Before the figure named Barlow could finish speaking, they saw that the statue in the center of the stone room was glowing red, and the two of them were suddenly shocked!
"This, this is the Faceless God descending! It's the first time in so many years that I've encountered the true God coming on his own initiative! Quick, let's go! Barlow said excitedly to Jenaru.
The two of them were prostrate on the ground like the most devout believers, their hands spread respectfully and their heads pressed against the ground. Then they chanted in unison.
Bang, I saw a black shadow in front of the two of them smashed to the ground. The two of them couldn't help but look at it, it turned out to be a snake-shaped monster carrying a turtle shell. This, what's going on? They didn't dare to look up at the whole appearance of the god, and their eyes could stay on the half of the god's body.
Barlow is a little strange, why are God's legs so white? …… Something seems wrong, why is the carving on the shell of that basilisk so familiar?
"Is not your God before you? And I'm just a hunter, why don't you bow down to me? Orlan whispered, a small voice that echoed throughout the stone chamber.
Suddenly startled, he looked up, and it was clearly a human with a silver-haired and smiling face.
"No, it can't be! How can you be a faceless god, how can you be a faceless god? "Barlow didn't want to associate that silver-haired boy with a faceless god, but this silver-haired boy clearly appeared in the form of a god.
"Me? Of course I didn't say I was the big turtle shell, hehe, this way of appearing is very surprising, very unexpected. "Orlan's strange appearance began to appear again, not even when he was underground. He fought calmly and silently, but now he was in the same cat-and-mouse spirit.
