Chapter Ninety-Three: Alchemy Fortress (XVII) Stigmata Ceremony
The requiem played in front of the deceased, like a long call, there seems to be a rare peace in listening, everyone really didn't think that the cold and clear music can also be played very well, usually see her is smiling at people, but all the stomach is a bad idea, all day long, only responsible for investigation, give advice. But this time the song did change a lot.
Soon, in front of everyone in July, one after another blurred figures appeared, maybe they were indeed excellent in life, but in the world after death, they could not be redeemed here, and they only relied on the guidance of this requiem to come to everyone.
"Stigmata Knights?" Seven Nights Kill was the first to ask these vague figures, because she couldn't see the real appearance, so she asked. But I haven't heard the song yet, and the call just now has passed, and now the requiem has to change to another tune, so that these living souls can be restored to the conscious souls before death under the guidance of their own songs. It was just a messy impact like flowing water, and these souls seemed to have gained some mysterious power, and gradually became clear in front of everyone.
Indeed, it is the souls of the nine Stigmata Knights after their deaths, because, even the equipment configuration, appearance, and even the formation position are all standard postures. The Knights of Stigmata, who existed not far from it, stood exactly like the Knights of Stigmata.
The song has stopped, and I saw the Knights of Stigmata in the soul state looking at the "self" in front of them with a stunned expression? They all looked at the state of themselves and their teammates, and the fact that they were dead seemed to have just learned about it.
"What happened?" One of the paladins asked, and another priest even wanted to use divine magic to dispel this "cursed" nightmare, but, obviously, souls are souls and have no ability to use divine magic again.
"Cut, even you don't know what's going on? Isn't this nonsense? You're all planted here, and you don't know what's going on? "Seven Nights Kill is not so polite to these dead people, and directly forced them to tell them about what happened here, but unexpectedly, there was no impression at all? Even how to die, none of the people of the Stigmata Knights actually know.
"And my memory is still stuck in smashing our Radiant Empire Holy Heaven City Adventurer Union, and I can absolutely guarantee what happened after that, there is no trace of memory at all." As the leader of the Knights, Justin was the only one who calmed down and consulted with the Seven Nights, as for the other members? Except for wailing, complaining, and invective for unknown reasons, it really seems to be useless at all. Looking at the "self" in front of you, it has become a trial level here, who will feel better? And they all died in vain, if it weren't for the traction ability of the Requiem, I'm afraid that the souls would still wander in the depths here, lost, and unable to remember themselves.
However, his words made everyone even more puzzled. It is impossible to have countless undead armor, and once the ability occupied by the immortal armor, it is impossible to easily give up the life ability as a layer of insurance for yourself, and the most unbelievable thing is the clearest memory of Justin before he died.
"Although the Requiem does not stipulate where the soul can be drawn, I don't think it should be in the Holy Heavenly City, if you are killed there, such a big thing, it is impossible for us not to know, and it is only here that your soul has not been redeemed." Leng Qingqing said, Justin also nodded, and said in response to her:
"Yes, if we die, souls will return to the arms of God waiting for a new birth, but we are still called by you. I can be sure that we have not been saved, and even the state of our souls after death, has lost our memory. ”
"Since you are not killing people thousands of miles away, then it is most likely that you were controlled by someone and brought here to die?" Yan Wu's rare wisdom hit the key with a word, but the three holy priests behind him shook their heads negatively, and said one after another: "Illusion control, if a powerful spiritual power appears in the Holy Heavenly City, do you think the bishops and priests of our Radiant Empire will not know about this?" If it's poison, who can bring us to this place? Everything doesn't make sense. ”
"Common sense? If common sense can explain it, how do you get here in this form? Seven Nights Snorted coldly, expressing his support for Yan Wu's words, Leng Qingqing also nodded, the living souls of the Stigmata Knights summoned now actually didn't have a clue, and they were even asked by them to find out the cause of their deaths, which was really worth the loss. But, just as Yan Wu said, it is impossible to kill people thousands of miles away, and if you want to kidnap them in Shengtian City, there is really no one who has such great ability. She really couldn't think of any way to make this team die in this place without a word, other than control.
"But what if, the trials below, are all outstanding mercenary groups on the mainland? What if they all lost consciousness like your stigmata and came to this place in a daze to die? Can you think of someone who has such a big ability? Justin wanted to shake his head, but a familiar figure appeared inappropriately in his mind, although he was in a soul state, but his face also had a twist of inner tingling.
"Do you know who it is?" Justin, who was caught by Leng Qingqing's expression, was speechless, and the members of the Stigmata Knights behind him had already accepted the fact that he was dead, and in turn he persuaded his captain with a warm face, shouting for revenge, revenge. Now that they can't even return to the arms of God after they die, the meaning of their existence may only be to kill the culprit to solve their hatred, right?
But Justin shook his head indifferently, and in turn advised: "It's not that I don't believe in your strength in July, it's not that I underestimate the world's seventh Seven Nights Killing Leader, but if it's that person, even if we don't have the ability to die and you, there will be no chance of victory." Believe me and get out of here. Please report our matter to the Bishop of the Holy Heavenly City, as for whom, I don't want to cause a war on the Augustus Continent, the Bishop will know. ”
"Is it someone from Caesar's Empire?" Cecilia blocked Justin's words in a word, and although he was stunned, he did not deny or admit it, but was silent. Cecilia's expression of helpless sigh made Leng Qingqing and Lingyuxian look at each other, as if remembering the first time she met Cecilia and explained the relics forest before this alchemy fortress. Yes, in the history of Caesar's Empire, it was someone who provided information to Cecilia, and then they came to open up the wasteland and confirm the danger here, as if a pair of invisible hands controlled it all.
"Who is it? Even we dare to play in July? Seven Nights wanted to go crazy again, but Justin didn't want to say the name of that person, and Cecilia also couldn't believe it, and now she is facing difficulties, so she has to believe that she has been being used by others.
"Tell me about it? If we don't say it now, we will be able to go out safe and sound? Although the rules of the Land of Trials exist, what can the rules stop when it is absolutely necessary? If you lose, you lose, but now I can't swallow this breath of being played. Seven Nights Kill said, Leng Qingqing also added: "Moreover, the ability of the Rubik's Cube is also the information provided by that person, we really don't know the real purpose, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, at least you have to sort things out." ”
"Yes, I really don't believe that anyone can beat my sister, don't worry, if I am in danger, my family will come to help me." Seven Nights Kill said this, the image of the white spirit in the name of the white divine dragon was magnified several times at once, Justin didn't know what was going on, but Seven Nights Kill was indeed a strange heresy in his impression, that is, the bishops of the Holy Heavenly City all ordered not to provoke her, so how big is the power behind her? Although this world is no longer about him, but the thought of dying for no reason like this, even the most powerful person can't make him feel so good.
"I said, however, we have one more request." He is not compromised, and there is no need to compromise, but he also wants to be like the ignorant members of the group, only for himself, not for anything else, to personally avenge this crime!
Seven Nights Kill nodded and motioned for him to say, Justin exhaled deeply and said, "Although I don't know what happened here, if it is really because of the war caused by our current resistance, it is not our fault. Although Caesar's Empire is the most powerful country in the world, it does not mean that they can dominate our lives at will. Seven Nights Killing Leader, please leave the following layers to us, and when you meet that person in person, you will know who it is, I hope you have not regretted this choice. ”
"Over to you?" Everyone was puzzled for a while, the Knights of Stigmata in the soul state still have such great ability? It's just hiding and not saying who it is, isn't this intentional to play tricks on people? But Seven Nights Kill nodded excitedly, raised his thumb to Justin and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, if you really have the strength to help us pass through the layers below, your stigma will indeed be stronger than our July." Of course, the numerical advantage cannot be ignored. As for the last person you mentioned, to be honest, I also have a bottom in my heart, but even if there is really an empire established by the God Emperor behind him, I, Seven Nights Kill, will gamble all my honor here, and I will defeat him! Her confident and determined gaze has always been convincing, even Justin, who met for the first time, also nodded with a relaxed heart and admitted her words.
"Everyone, although we have only heard of its fame before, but no matter what you say, thank you for calling us over. Dead is dead, but the Stigmata Knights are not only a banner of the Radiant Empire in the world of adventure, we have also enjoyed great honor because of this fame. ”
"Captain!" Sudden death is hard to accept, but what can they do but face it calmly? But as Justin summed up, they've enjoyed incredible accolades, and that's enough.
"So, everyone." The souls of the nine of them hugged each other in a big circle, there was no formation, no more serious expressions, the nine began to sing the hymn of the Holy Heavenly City, although everyone couldn't understand it, but it was extremely peaceful, and a different kind of golden light slowly flashed from the souls of these people, and the bodies of the Holy Stigmata Knights who were controlled by magic also followed this to emit these dazzling lights.
Not only Justin, but also the other Stigmata Priests seemed to return to the original scene of the formation of the Knights, and the archbishop on the red carpet explained to them with a peaceful smile the origin of the stigmata noun.
"Although I don't want to say these things to you that may be difficult for you to accept, believe me, sooner or later, you will make a voluntary sacrifice. The stigma that is imprinted on you is not only a sign of eternal loyalty, but when you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, as long as you have hope in your heart and are willing to sacrifice yourself for salvation, angels will come. Trust God, and trust me, we don't want this to happen to our people, but you know, there are many helpless things going on in this world, and stigmata is neither a constraint nor a contract. You don't want to use it, it's only going to take up a small part of your space. But at the same time, always know that it is also a power that can bring you miracles. ”
