Zhu Yan went offline, the gentle thief couldn't deal with the undead knight alone, so he had to leave here to brush the undead soldiers and increase the faith value of the undead believers.
It took another two days of hard work, and the two of them finally killed all the undead knights scattered in front of the temple, and they could finally enter the temple to have a look;
"Huhu, it's so hard to beat, it's like a turtle shell, it doesn't hurt them at all;" The gentle thief rubbed his wrist and said;
Although the thief's explosive power is strong, it is still a little insufficient to face the undead knight who is almost armed to the teeth, if it were not for the flame poison ivy, I am afraid that both of them would have to give up the idea of entering the temple;
"The knight's blood is thick and the defense is high, and anyone who sees it has a headache;" Zhu Yan nodded and said;
"It's still your summon that is powerful, it can set fire, it can spray poison, and the attack is okay, and it can also be upgraded!" The gentle thief looked envious;
Flame poison ivy is indeed **, worthy of being the only attribute of the summon, originally it was just bright gold quality, but because of the help of the bloody plantation, it mutated, and it advanced to dark gold quality, in the eyes of the gentle thief, it is simply a BUG-like existence;
"Hehe, the serial quest of the Nightmare difficulty dungeon, if the reward is not good, who will do it in the future?" Zhu Yan said with a smile;
Speaking of which, even the bright gold equipment dropped by the final boss of the Nightmare difficulty of the Forest of Flames is not as good as the reward given by the task, I originally thought it was the worst reward in the quality of bright gold, but I didn't expect it to be the best, the most suitable reward for Zhu Yan;
"Hehe, my title has been upgraded, and I have become an intermediate undead believer, and the shadow resistance has increased by fifteen points, and the normal attack has a certain chance to produce an armor-piercing effect, this title attribute is too good, it is simply tailor-made for thieves;" The gentle little thief's eyebrows danced, this title made his strength increase by three layers almost out of thin air, and against players with similar strength to him, he could almost do one-sided torture;
So many undead knights have provided Zhu Yan with a lot of faith points, but they have only increased the faith value of his high-level flame believers by a small margin, and he has not even reached half of them, it seems that it will take a long time to improve to the next stage;
"Alright, let's go into the temple and have a look;" After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he walked towards the temple with the gate open;
The complex consisted of more than a dozen temples, but only the tallest central temple was open, and the others were closed; The two of them walked to the gate of the central temple, the tall door gave people a heavy sense of oppression, as if there was really a god inside;
Zhu Yan took a deep breath and entered the dark temple, followed by the gentle thief;
System: You have discovered the temple of the undead lord Modo;
The name Modo is relatively unfamiliar to Zhu Yan, I don't know what his identity is, how he has an illusory territory, and he also has the title of the Undead Lord;
Entering the temple, Zhu Yan stepped into an open hall, the ground was paved with dark black stone slabs, a broken gold passage in the center extended to the front, and more than a dozen tall stone pillars were erected on both sides, which could only be hugged by three or four people, and the height was not high;
Zhu Yan and the gentle thief walked forward along the broken gold passage, and the silence around them could only hear the footsteps of the two of them, stepping on them, the sound echoed in the empty hall, and the atmosphere was a little weird;
At the end of the main hall, a large altar appeared in front of them, and on either side of the altar were candlesticks more than one person high, covered with gray wax tears, and two dark red flames swayed at the top of the candlestick, which seemed to be extinguished at any time;
The moment the two of them approached the altar, the dark red candle flame suddenly became vigorous, and the color slowly turned dark purple, and the two of them were shocked, and couldn't help but take two steps back;
After waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened, and the two of them relaxed a little and vigilantly investigated;
Zhu Yan found that there was a tall bookshelf next to the altar, layer by layer, about seven or eight meters high, and thick books were placed in it, but maybe it was because of the old age, and a thick layer of dust fell on the bookshelf, and those books seemed to have been corroded by the years, and I don't know if I can still read them;
Zhu Yan observed carefully and found that most of the books on the shelves were already rotten, not to mention reading, even if he wanted to take them off the shelves, it had become a luxury, and if he shook a little, those books would turn into ashes;
However, at the bottom of the shelves, there are a few books with a faint white glow on the surface, and if you don't look closely, you can't see any difference between those books and other books;
Slowly pulling out the few books that emitted a little white light, Zhu Yan looked at them carefully;
The book is heavy, and the cover seems to be made of a kind of beast's leather tanning, and the edges are wrapped in a thin layer of metal, which looks a little gray, but it is not easy to preserve it so well after all the years;
There are several books with "The Rise of the Undead Lord Modo", "The Road to God of the Undead Lord Modo", etc., which seem to be introducing books about the Undead Lord Modo, and there are two books with strange symbols depicted on them, which look like another language, but Zhu Yan doesn't know them;
Zhu Yan flipped through the books written in the lingua franca, which introduced the life of the undead lord Modo;
It turned out that Modo was a legendary mage of the half-orc race, and at that time there was no distinction between the Justice League and the Evil League, Modo grew from a magic apprentice at the beginning, and grew to a mage close to the gods, and finally because of a book of the demigod dead, he betrayed his faith and became a necromancer, with the help of the power of the Book of the Dead, Modo finally condensed the godhead, ignited the divine fire, and became a god himself, although it was only the lowest god, but it was also free from the shackles of mortals, high above, became a different kind of being;
However, it is a pity that in order to compete for the power of faith, the gods have a great war, many gods have fallen, and some have fallen into a deep sleep, and this illusory territory is actually the kingdom of God created by Modo after becoming a god, and there are fanatical believers who believe in him living in it;
But in a great war, Modo fell, his kingdom was shattered, and the believers living in it all became skeletal undead without consciousness due to the influence of the power of the undead, and these skeleton undead have more or less faith in the undead lord Modo, and if you kill them, you will gain the power of these beliefs;
And because Zhu Yan has become a flame believer, all these faith powers have been transformed into flame belief points;
Zhu Yan and the gentle thief watched it for a long time, and finally finished reading all the books, and couldn't help but sigh;
From an ordinary magic apprentice, and finally grew into a god, Modo's life can be called a history of struggle to become a god against the sky, although it still failed in the end, but if you collect the power of those undead beliefs, then it is possible to step on his footsteps and eventually become a god of the undead;
Compared with Modo, the guy who claimed to be the master of the flame was much more miserable, and he didn't even succeed in condensing the godhead, so he was attacked and fell into a deep sleep, but maybe because of this, the flame master is now only asleep in the abyss, and there is still the possibility of recovery, but Modo has completely fallen and disappeared from this world;
"Hey, I was prompted by a system and gave me an epic mission, the first link is for me to kill all the undead in this illusory territory, collect the power of faith on them, and elevate the title to the undead master;" The gentle thief said suddenly;
"Epic mission?" Zhu Yan was shocked, it seemed that the gentle thief had been selected by the system to become Modo's successor;
"Congratulations, maybe you might end up becoming an undead god;" Zhu Yan said with a smile;
"Haha, gods, that sounds good!" The gentle thief said with a smile at the corner of his mouth;
Zhu Yan glanced at the remaining two books and reached out to pick them up;
When he reached the first book, a magical power melted into his body, and a deep voice appeared in his ear;
"Worshippers of flames, are you willing to renounce your faith and become believers who worship the power of immortality?"
As the voice sounded, rows of words appeared in front of Zhu Yan's eyes, making him choose whether to give up his identity as a high-level flame believer and choose to become an undead believer again?
Zhu Yan hesitated for a while and decisively chose to refuse;
The advantage of becoming an undead believer is to embark on the path of pursuing Modo, but the gentle thief has already taken that epic task, Zhu Yan doesn't want to be a competitor with him, and he is now a high-level flame believer, if he just gives up, it will be a pity, the faith value of the flame believer cannot be converted into the faith value of the undead believer, once he gives up, all the previous efforts will be wasted;
At the moment when Zhu Yan refused, his heart suddenly trembled slightly, and he felt as if a weak force was transmitted from a distant place, and a voice appeared from the bottom of his heart;
"Devout believer, you have rejected the ** of other gods, you have withstood the test, in the name of the master of flames, I bestow upon you the title of flame fanatic, henceforth, you will have the power to summon flames;"
The voice in my heart was very weak, exactly the same as the voice of the man who claimed to be the master of the flames I had seen in the lava cave;
"Devout believers, dedicate your faith, and when you have enough strength, come to the abyss and save me from here, and when the time comes, I will give you even greater strength and wisdom, remember, remember!"
The voice in his heart gradually disappeared, Zhu Yan suddenly felt a burning pain in his eyebrows, the pain came quickly, and disappeared quickly, Zhu Yan rubbed his eyebrows, checked his character, and found that a slender pattern suddenly appeared in the center of the character's eyebrows, which looked like a burning flame;
"Flame Maniac, that title sounds pretty good!" Zhu Yan smiled slightly, thinking in his heart;
