Chapter 7: Renunciation of Faith
Jin Cheng fell into nothingness, and in the blank illusion in front of him, one picture after another kept flashing.
Twelve holy fruits are born in the empowerment vault......
With the blessing of the crowned god, life began to be born on the World Tree......
Miracles shelter the panicked lives beneath the volcanoes......
The gods turned into a mountain and withstood the surging tsunami......
The divine power follows the faith and heals the believer of his ailments......
One picture after another of the gods performing miracles appears, in which the gods are omnipotent and able to resist all disasters; God also favors the world and removes all obstacles for believers......
God created everything, and God protected everything.
God, what a worthy faith!
But soon, some other images began to appear.
A child, a weak child, he sat in the corner of the hospital room in a daze, looking at the figure on the white hospital bed in a daze.
God did not appear.
He sat alone in the corner of the living room again, watching a group of relatives arguing over who should support him.
God did not appear either.
Withdrawn and lonely, he pins his fun on virtual games, and he struggles hard in his passion, only to be ridiculed wantonly by those around him.
God still hasn't appeared.
He sat in a closed room again, looking through the glass walls of the excited crowd and the dazzling lights.
God doesn't need to appear anymore.
He could vaguely hear those people shouting excitedly, enthusiastically calling his name over and over again - the Golden God!
He has become a god of his own.
Sometimes God doesn't appear, and sometimes God doesn't need to appear.
"You."
"Are you willing to give up your faith?"
"Heretics, outcasts, walking dead......
"You will be spurned, boycotted, and driven out ...... world"
"You."
"Are you willing to give up your faith in God?"
The coercive voice sounded from the bottom of Jin Cheng's heart.
Kaneshiro couldn't help but burst into tears, he had seen the ritual in the promotional video for "Miracles". It's just that he didn't expect that when he really faced this ritual, he would be aroused by so many thoughts.
"I'm ......," Jin Cheng said slowly.
"I've understood this since I was very young."
"The most powerful strength of man is faith."
"The ...... that people should believe in the most"
"It's yourself."
"I will not give up on the ...... of God's faith"
"Because ......"
"I've never had!"
As soon as Jin Cheng's words fell, the illusion in front of him suddenly turned into shards of glass, scattered all over the ground in a clicking sound.
The darkness obscured the vision, and I don't know how long it took for a little light to finally appear.
Jin Cheng opened his eyes with some difficulty, but found that he was lying naked on a cold stone table, his limbs were locked with iron buckles, and he couldn't move.
A pungent smell of medicine entered his nostrils, and he rolled his eyes vigorously to find that he had been smeared with green liquid.
"Don't be nervous." Dernan's voice came from the side.
"As an arcane skinner, it's been a long, long time since I've seen an arcane ritual."
"You're good, and you passed without a hitch."
"Congratulations, you're about to become a true arcane mage."
"After I peel off the skin of the tome for you."
Peel!
Jin Cheng shuddered, although he had been mentally prepared, but when it really came to the moment, he still couldn't stop being afraid.
Based on the rich knowledge of the mage character "Kim" in "Miracles", Kaneshiro is confident that he can become a good mystical mage.
But there is no skinning process in "Miracles......
"Master Dernan! Master Delnan! Jin Cheng hurriedly shouted.
"Can you ...... Can you wait? Let me take it easy? Prepare me? ”
"Ready? No, no, no, you don't need to prepare. Dernan lowered his head and laughed teasingly in front of Jincheng's eyes.
"Look, I've smeared a secret potion on you."
"Soon, these potions will tell me which piece of skin on your body is suitable for crafting the Grimoire."
"Like this one?"
"Or is it this one?"
Dernan slid the back of a knife over Kaneshiro's body, sometimes sliding into Kaneshiro's face, sometimes sliding into Kaneshiro's thighs, sometimes ...... and swirled around in the lower body of Jincheng.
The coldness of the metal blade made Jin Cheng tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't! Don't want this piece! Jin Cheng hurriedly shouted.
"Oh, don't do that." Dernan smiled and shook his head, "We can't make our own decisions, we have to follow the choice of secret elixirs. ”
"Look!"
"This piece of your skin is turning red!"
Dernan slid on Kaneshiro's lower body again.
"That means this skin is perfect for crafting a toime!"
"I'm going to go under the knife!"
Dernan suddenly screamed, and then Jin Cheng felt a piercing coldness coming from his lower body!
"No!"
Jin Cheng screamed and fainted.
"Young people's willpower is really poor."
Dernan muttered and took the knife again, he was just playing tricks on Jincheng.
"Stop playing tricks on my friends."
Another voice appeared, and Fili stood behind Dernan with an embarrassed expression, jogging down something quickly in a notebook.
"Fili, you must know that the Arcane Skinner is a very bloody and cruel profession, and being engaged in it all year round will damage your spirit and make you dark."
"So, we have to have some fun with ourselves."
Soon, Dernan noticed that the potion on the skin of Jincheng's chest was changing, and the color slowly turned dark green, until it was pitch black, and a little red began to appear.
"Looks like this is it."
Dernan carefully observed Kaneshiro's body again, and after confirming that it was correct, he carefully took a bottle, poured a transparent viscous liquid onto Kaneshiro's chest, and carefully flattened it with the back of a knife, covering a rectangular area.
"This is a vitality absorbing potion, it will make the vitality of Jin's whole skin focus on this piece of skin."
Dernan explained, and after waiting for a while, the skin on Jincheng's chest became more and more ruddy, and Dernan finally went under the knife!
There was a moment of silence.
Bloodshot overflow.
A piece of human skin was peeled off by Dernan, and then quickly thrown into a container that had been prepared on the side.
"The next step is to deal with this skin with potions, and we must ensure that this skin has a certain amount of activity, so that the mystic mage can form a soul connection with this skin."
"You must know that the Grimoire is a medium, and it must be able to communicate with and be able to communicate with the Mystic Mage."
"Oh yes, you can bandage your friend's wound first."
Dernan began to prepare for a new process, handing Fili a few healing items.
Fili didn't dare to be reckless, and carefully smeared a thick layer of healing potion on Jincheng, and then carefully bandaged it with a clean cloth belt.
With all this done, Dernan had already placed all the tools on the workbench next to him, and the next step was to start working on the human skin.
It can be seen that a magic tome is about to be born, which means that a new arcane mage is about to appear. (Author's note: The novel is fictional, and it is strictly forbidden to try!) )
And what no one saw was that under the heavy wrapping of the bandage, the wound on Jincheng's chest was healing at a visible speed.
