"Old Hoffman is a member of the Harvest Goddess Church, but he is also a member of the Cult of the Secrets, a small sect under the Harvest Goddess Church, responsible for imprisoning a legendary sealed evil god from the previous era."

Under Ferrero's narration, Marin hears a somewhat absurd story about the legend who killed an evil god in a small village, and because of his immortal properties, he finally sealed the evil god on a sacred star gold stone, and then ...... it Stuck in the chest.

Marin thought about a lot of questions, and finally asked the question that he was most puzzled about - how big is a stone?

"You kid has a problem, everyone else asks how powerful this evil god is, only you will ask this." The old bishop of the God of War Church on the side looked surprised.

"can be sealed by a legend, how strong can such an evil god be." Marin turned his head and said, "Compared to the horror and abuse I have seen, this person can't even beat the legend, and what qualifications does he have to call himself an evil god." ”

The old bishop of the God of War Church thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "After all, you have gone up the ladder, so you are qualified to say so." ”

Marin knew that the old man was mentioning the day he met with the sadists, and he also smiled and nodded—as for the name he mentioned the sadists, it was even simpler, Marin had met with him, and there was nothing to worry about if he didn't mention his name.

Moreover, in Marin's point of view, the level of the four hawkers is called the evil god, the death world of Ayers is called the god of death, and these so-called evil gods in the local area are ...... They were just minions, compared to which they were nothing more than transcendent beings, and they needed faith to nourish their godhead, and they could even be sealed by legends...... I'm not afraid of losing my mind when I say it.

The chaos guys who killed in the Principality of Farol last time can also see that the chaos warriors are not even in armor, and those believers are just meat resistance experts in rags, and finally a chaos priest is not easy to compare, and the weak ones cannot be compared with the colleagues on the northern defense line, if the combat power of the priests in the north is five in terms of value, then the priests on the Farol side are just the decimal point behind zero, and there is no comparison between the two sides, if you have to compare, it is probably the difference between a tiger and a mouse.

Old Hoffman laughed and coughed a few times: "You see, Marin's child's point of view is not necessarily with us, yes, this evil god has been sealed for a long time, so long that no one knows its existence, its power has gradually weakened in the seal again and again, but it is an evil god after all, no one dares to risk it breaking out again, although we don't know his name, but we all know his priesthood, it is a desolation hedged against the harvest, if it comes out, how many famines and deaths will the world face." ”

"I know, so, what the hell is this stone like." Marin looked at his mentor.

The latter unbuttoned his collar, then took off his coat, revealing the oval star stone on his chest, a gem wrapped in flesh and blood, as if flesh was connected to it under the skin.

Marin took a deep breath: "How many generations have the Secret Keepers passed down. Marin looked at his old mentor—he wondered how long such a sacrifice had been.

"When my mentor passed it on to me, I also asked this question, and his answer was that he couldn't remember, from the last era to the present, for such a long time, humanity has experienced a decline, and the great library of record keepers has long been destroyed by the war, and I only know that my mentor told me that only young men under the age of 30 who can replace me need to have a strong faith."

Old Hoffman sighed at this.

"Isn't it okay for women?" Marin looked at old Hoffman with a serious expression: "Young women are also human beings, and they also have firm beliefs, why can't they do it, are the seals also divided into men and women, or do you say that the mentor doesn't believe in them." ”

"Actually, there is no distinction, but when it is sealed, it will cause harm to the human body." Ferrero Sr. said.

"Mentor Ferrero, that's why. First aid has confirmed that women are much more tolerant than men! Childbirth is the most painful physical pain the world has ever known, and I don't think there's any other human injury that is intolerable. Marin looked at this mentor with a somewhat dazed expression: "So, what kind of harm does it take to make the Secret Keeper Sect choose only men as the real qualified ones, and there is a female apprentice among the degenerates I killed this time." ”

"Marlin!"

"That's enough, Ferrero, let me give this kid an answer."

Old Hoffman interrupted Old Ferrero's roar, he looked at Marin, and began to say how to become a Secret Keeper: "In order to become a true Secret Keeper, you must abandon all desires, this is because this evil god is sealed in the Star Crystal, it is always thinking about escaping, but he can't rely on his own strength to break this sacred Star Stone, so the temptation of the Seal has become a very useful means, so the Secret Keeper must use surgery to remove the root of desire, and our existing surgical ability, when undergoing surgery, The mortality rate in women is seven times higher than in men...... So, my children, girls are always the last choice. ”

The evil god's method of recognizing the thief as his father made Marin stunned for a moment, and then he noticed old Hoffman's beardless face, and thought of Masson's beardless face, such an answer made Marin a little uncomfortable, but he still had to ask this sentence: "Do you have to sacrifice to this point?" ”

"Yes, Masson is actually the best choice, he was born with a cripple, he didn't have the pain of the acquired surgery, I know he is afraid of this path, but I believe that he will come back to inherit my mantle, but I did not expect it...... He would eventually die at the hands of those children. Speaking of this, old Hoffman looked at Marin: "Although they are depraved, but in my eyes, those children are just some poor people, and the children I choose have qualified identities and abilities, so I am sorry for them, the love I give them is actually hypocritical, I raised them, but I just let them go on a hard path...... That's why I wanted to live a little longer, to allow more children to live past the age of 30, so that they could survive the sea of suffering, but I didn't think that these children would rather become chaos than inherit my way. ”

"The Tao is different...... No, my mentor, you must not have heard of it. Marlin shook his head, then looked at Colin: "Colin, what are you going to do." ”

"I'm the last apprentice of my mentor, and it's only natural that I'll be a keeper of secrets." Colin looked at Marin and said with a sincere expression.

"I've told Anna that you're no longer my apprentice, Colin." Old Hoffman shook his head.

"Then what to do, Hoffman, when you die, the evil god who has lost the container will eventually escape after the seal of the Star Golden Stone is broken due to the loss of flesh and blood, and we cannot release the evil god and make the whole world face pain." Ferrero Sr. said.

"Is that going to make Colin suffer!"

"We can have Colin and Margaret have a baby first!"

The argument between the two old men finally made Colin stand up, he looked at old Ferrero: "No, Mentor Ferrero, I can't do that, Margaret is qualified to be a mother, but she can't make sacrifices for me, I will refuse this marriage contract, it has been almost seventeen years since the day I was picked up by my mentor, if I hadn't been picked up by my mentor, I'm afraid I'd have starved to death, so I'm not afraid of anything, maybe fate made me meet my mentor just to make me make a choice at this moment." ”

After saying that, the young man walked up to Marin, he looked at Marin, and finally took off the ring from his hand and handed it to Marin: "Help me return it to Margaret." ”

"No, it doesn't seem like we're at the end of the road." After speaking, Marin looked at the four people present: "I have a way, maybe it will be dangerous, but you can try." ”

"You want to suppress the evil god yourself, I want to say that you are indeed a child of courage, but you are too young to undergo such an operation, and I dare not do it, because I know that when I nod my head, it is when my head hits the ground." Old Ferrero shook his head desperately.

"No, no one is going to have surgery because of this, I have a better way, but I want to state upfront, Mentor, can you get the church to turn off the defensive circle first." Marin shook his head - he was alone for half of his life in his last life, and he didn't have too many pursuits in this life, and his children and grandchildren were one of them, so it was naturally impossible to help Colin with this.

But that doesn't mean Marlin can't help Colin find a solution.

"You're trying to get the terror over, that's impossible, when he comes out, the entire Carter Fort will be transformed into the Chaos Realm." Old Hoffman's eyes widened: "My child, don't come up with such a terrible solution. ”

"No, it's not a terror, I know what the consequences will be if I call him over, I want to call a lich named Ayres, he is a guy from the undead plane, and he has a employment relationship with my people, I asked him to help me deal with a few chaotic souls, I was thinking, the evil god in the gem is a soul state, he is also quite strong, he may have a way, we can solve him in his territory, anyway, it is also the death plane, even if the evil god breaks through the seal, it is impossible to bring disaster to the world."

After saying that, Marin looked at the two old men - Colin had no say in this matter, so he didn't need to worry about him.

Old Ferrero glanced at the old bishop of the God of War Church beside him: "Marian, this may be a good idea. ”

"But I can't trust the undead, is it okay to deal with these guys." The old bishop shook his head, feeling a little unreliable.

"I don't think we have any other alternatives, Hoffman, what do you think?" Old Ferrero looked at his old friend.

The latter thought for a moment, and finally looked at Colin: "Let's try, for Colin, my last apprentice, if you can really defeat the evil gods, the secret keepers will no longer need to pile up each other's sad fate with sacrifices and dedication." ”

So when the circle closed, Marin spit out the candy in his mouth to Fio, who caught it, then wrapped it in tin foil and turned around and threw it into the void.

After a dozen seconds, a dog's head poked out of the open crack.

Marin was about to kill the dog with a knife, and then he heard the dog say, "Wait a minute! It's me! ”

"Ayles, what are you doing?" Marin took the knife.

"What are you doing, there were a bunch of people when I came here last time, and there were a lot fewer people when I came here this time, but they can fight one by one, can you ask why."

What Ayres said was also reasonable, so Marin told Ayres about it, and finally made a guarantee in his name: "Then you should always believe me." ”

Cerberus retracted his head, and the others saw Ayres burrow through the crack.

The one greedily 'breathed': "Ah, there are souls everywhere, it's so beautiful. ”

"If you breathe like this again, I'll let Anonymous go tell my kindred." Marin rolled his eyes at the stupid lich: "How about it, an evil god of a barren priesthood, is there any interest in doing a big deal." ”

"Definitely interested, God Butcher is a big thing enough to brag about for a lifetime, even if it's just a crappy evil god in a remote world, it's also a god, not to mention that I think this priesthood is quite suitable for me." Ayers said.

Marin had some objections to this: "The last time you went to play, how was it." ”

"Super cool! Little sister bites an Ayers brother! ”

Speaking of this, the lich was silent for a moment, and then changed his tone: "Forget it, I don't want this kind of thing, do you like it or not, it's a big deal to let it dissipate after killing it, what do you say." ”

"Deal, but you have to write a note, you have to mention the anonymous kind." Marin said.

Ailes nodded vigorously: "No problem, I'll help you kill this evil god, if you have any chaos that needs to be solved for me in the future, just come to me, their souls are in demand with us." ”

"Happy trading."

So the contract was signed, and Ayers and old Hoffman confirmed the seal, and when he saw the gem, the lich scolded him: "Why do you people here look down on life and death so much, and directly seal the soul of the evil god on the stone and use the body as a container, old man, your soul will be destroyed at the moment of death...... And this kind of seal requires a mutilated body, and I'm really afraid of you. ”

"I thought you wizards wouldn't be afraid of anything." Old Hoffman said with a smile.

"Please, why am I not afraid, I have a headache at the thought that this thing was handed down from you in the last era, how many generations have passed." Speaking of this, the lich Ayers shook his head: "Well, when the time comes, you ask Marin to contact me, and I will open a portal for you and your people to come to my world, where there are no other creatures, and when the time comes, you release that evil god, and we will solve him, how about it." ”

"No problem, we will find all the people when the time comes, but will your side be disturbed by unknown forces." Marian, the old bishop of the Church of the God of War, said.

"Don't worry, it's just me, but I said it in advance, the contract is written, I will help you this time, and you must not kill me for any reason."

"We are not priests of evil gods, and we will not do things to avenge kindness!" In this regard, Marian immediately promised: "And I can also swear to the Lord of Justice, as long as you do not harm the innocent people of this world in the future, I will never make a move on you." ”

"That's great, nice to work with." Ayres shook hands with the old man, and then came to Marin: "Mr. Marin, we have a good cooperation. ”

"Yes, nice to work with." Marin also held out his hand.

He shook hands with it.

Then, visible to the naked eye, Ayres' hands began to smoke.
