Chapter 111: Delivery of Entrustment

Explaining the vision to the untruthful villagers is a lengthy and complex process that requires a lot of patience. Many villagers are still immersed in the grief of their loved ones being punished by heaven, they cannot feel the warmth of the light after the black clouds have dissipated, and the happy and beautiful vision of Grancia Village has been shattered by these strangers in an instant.

Song Zixi took a lot of trouble to explain to the villagers that everything was a plot by Lopelle, and that their relatives were not really resurrected, but turned into living corpses that would return to their original colors at night and kill more people. The so-called "Apocalypse Rite" is Loppellet's vain attempt to use the Ring of Miracles to turn all the villagers into living corpses in order to form an undead army to achieve his goal of revenge.

At first, no one in the villagers wanted to believe Song Zixi, and the cruel facts even made some people lose their minds and tried to attack the Langtian Adventure Group, but Elusson's heartfelt words immediately calmed everyone down, and Kalia told the persecution and dispensing of herself and her mother in the past ten years, and Lester's daughter and Aunt Lu even provided physical evidence related to the living corpse absorbing people's essence.

In the face of many ironclad evidence, the villagers finally came to their senses, and they knelt down to thank the Langtian Adventure Group and the Seven Artifact Expedition for saving the entire Grancia Village, and many even asked Elusson for forgiveness for their previous misunderstandings.

But it is not enough to wake up, and the best way to admit your mistakes and repent is to hold a banquet to express your heartfelt gratitude to the great benefactors of the village of Grancia.

So Elusson proposed to hold a grand banquet in the center of the village that night, and almost the entire village came to the scene, accompanied by music and wine, and the outsiders had a very pleasant night.

Then in the early morning of the next day, the Langtian Adventure Group bid farewell to all the villagers of Grancia Village one after another, and returned to Heglila along the Chiluo Mountains.

"Good cousin, what's so strange about this, Father Ling has always liked to keep a low profile, and it's normal for them to say goodbye. When everyone found a shady boulder to rest, Song Zixi finally couldn't help it, and said with a wry smile, "We were able to successfully complete the commission this time, mainly because of Father Ling's credit, it's already interesting that he doesn't compete with us, I thought he would ask us for the Miracle Ring." ”

Lin Yaoxi pursed her lips, clasped her hands and said, "What I care about is what Ling Wenxuan called you aside last night to talk to you about, and don't use the excuse of drunkenness and forgetfulness to fool the past." ”

Song Zixi smoothed the ends of his upturned hair and sighed: "Hey, the matter between men, if I have to say anything, is just for us to tell Father Li that they will leave Heglila tomorrow and thank Li Jikui for them." ”

"What is the relationship between this Li Jikui and Ling Wenxuan?"

"It's said to be a friend of his, but I don't know exactly how they met. Song Zixi stretched his waist and stood up, "Whatever! As long as I can get a good honorarium, I will be satisfied." ”

With that, Song Zixi led the members of the Langtian Adventure Group towards the direction of Heglila at the foot of the mountain.

The highest mountain in the city, Mount Hera, is located on the island of Pingchuan, west of Heglila, and is named after Helabes, the founder of the Illusory Cult. Looking at the mountains full of greenery, birds and beasts singing, like the sound of heaven, the mountains along the coast are like being split in half by a heavenly axe, half of which is eroded by the waves to form strange rocks and strange beaches of different shapes, and the other half is like a beautiful woman nestled on the coast, and her eyes reveal endless nostalgia.

Shao Yan, who was looking at the Hull River from the cliff, touched the scene and remembered his hometown Haojun, thousands of miles away, more than ten days have passed since they left Haojun to accept the entrusted task, and there is still no news that the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild has released a new entrusted task, according to this, after completing this commission, they will return to Haojun City and report to the guild leader.

Song Zixi, Lin Yaoxi, and Xue Shaoling, who were in front of Shao Yan, had already taken the lead in landing on the island, and when Xue Shaoling tied the rope of the boat to the dock, she suddenly felt that she had to ask the head of the regiment for advice on this matter.

"When we find out the origin of the Miracle Ring from Li Jikui, it will naturally be back to Haojun. Song Zixi patted the dust on his palm, "In my opinion, the Miracle Ring is not as simple as an ordinary magic weapon, it contains an extremely powerful divine power, which can fulfill a wish of the holder and bring about a so-called miracle." ”

"So who is the bearer of this ring now?" Lin Yaoxi subconsciously reached out and touched the miracle ring contained in the skirt pocket, she felt panicked.

"The one who took the ring from its previous owner and wore it is the ring-bearer, formerly Lopelle, and now the ring is ownerless, but I advise you not to wear it, otherwise your mind will be affected by the ring and the consequences will be incalculable. ”

Hearing Song Zixi say this, Lin Yaoxi couldn't help but shudder, her previous idea of trying to wear a miracle ring must have been tempted by the ring, but fortunately, she restrained herself in time at that time.

The Wandering Adventure Group followed the mountain trail to the top of Hera, near the monastery of Hera, where the monastery of Hergrila was built. In the slanting glow of the sun, the stalactite white walls have left a few pale powders, the conical eaves and minarets are painted with pale orange lacquer, and in front of the door stands the statue of the fifth heavenly god Gaiaras, who spreads his wings and holds a holy sword in his hand, and every muscle seems so powerful and tense, that Gaiaras, the god of the earth, does not stand here just to guard the monastery.

When he first arrived at the Herculera Monastery, what Song Zixi wanted to do most was to take a picture with a magic camera so that he could replace the old oil painting in the room at home, but the arrival of a reception monk still dispelled his thoughts.

"We want to see Father Li Jikui!" Song Zixi smiled at the monk with a beautiful little white face in front of him.

"It's dinner time, the priest is sitting in his office resting, please come with me. With that, the monk made a gesture of please.

"Wait a minute!" Song Zixi suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Xue Shaoling beside him, "How long have we been here?"

"About four and a half hours!" Xue Shaoling looked like you remembered my helpless expression, and brushed his fingers away.

"I'm not asking you how long it takes to get from the Chilu Mountains to Hegrila, I'm asking you how long it takes to get from Hegryla to Pyongcheon Island. ”

"Why do you ask this?" Xue Shaoling saw Song Zixi's serious expression, and quickly replied, "We took the water route, so it only took half an hour, and the land route will take a little longer." ”

Song Zixi sneered and nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder Ling Wenxuan is reluctant to come here!"

Walk into the monastery, along the way you can see the exquisite murals on the walls around and the crystal lights on the ceiling, listen to the monk's introduction: the crystal lamp on the top of the hall is the largest hanging lamp in the whole monastery, composed of 120 pieces of crystal glass, to commemorate the founder of the Phantom Cult Helabes, he died in the monastery at the age of 120, as well as those exquisite frescoes, each of which is a story about the gods.

So the chattering monk began to tell stories about the gods tirelessly, and the sound of the bell made them seriously doubt whether he was leading the way or doing a guided tour, but the monastery was not ordinarily large, and the corridors, halls, and gardens followed one after another, and if someone did not lead the way, the first-time visitors would be 100% disoriented.

Aside from that, the monks and nuns who came and went would stop and nod and smile at them, much to the chagrin of a few people, who were just here to fulfill their commissions, and were not special VIPs, let alone like some confused believers who need to stay in the confessional and count their sins.

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at Li Jikui's office. The priest, who was sitting on the sofa and reading a book, was surprised and delighted at their arrival, and quickly ordered the monk to close the door and let the four of them sit on the long wooden chairs in turn, while he moved a low stool nearby and made four cups of tea for them on the coffee table.

"How's it going? What do you think of my office?"

Song Zixi looked around and said with a smile: "There are a lot of books, both clean and tidy, can you enjoy the treatment as a priest like you?"

"Brother Song has won the award, and I also rely on my own skills to eat, which is no different from your Langtian Adventure Group. Li Jikui tightened the teapot and filled Song Zixi with tea, "I am very happy to see you today, which means that you have successfully solved the unsolved case of the living corpse in Grancia Village." ”

"Thanks to Father Priest's trust, the reason why the unsolved case of the living corpse in Grancia Village was successfully resolved this time was actually the credit of Father Ling Wenxuan. Song Zixi hurriedly saluted, and then told Li Jikui all about their experience in Grancia Village.

"So, you and my old friend have already met, are they leaving tomorrow?" Seeing Song Zixi nodded, Li Jikui's face immediately became serious, "Then it's strange, why don't they ask you for the Miracle Ring? This is one of the seven ancient artifacts, the magic weapon of the gods, and it is said that if you collect the seven artifacts, you will gain the power to destroy the heavens and the earth." ”

"And what are the other six artifacts?" Shao Yan pondered for a while and asked.

"They are the Staff of Fate, the Crown of Courage, the Sword of Fearlessness, the Bell of Epiphany, the Scythe of Fear, and the Mirror of Wandering. Li Jikui scratched his head irritably, "With Ling Wenxuan's many years of experience in collecting ancient relics, it is impossible for him not to know that this is one of the seven artifacts, and it is impossible for him to give the artifact to you, unless...... Brother Song, can you give me the Miracle Ring to see. ”

Song Zixi thought about it, and asked Lin Yaoxi to take out the Miracle Ring, and when he saw Li Jikui reaching out to take it, he couldn't help but shrink his hand: "Father Li, you have to be careful, the divine power that this ring possesses will make people lose their minds." ”

"Don't worry, I'm in control. Li Jikui snatched the Miracle Ring, then took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and carefully observed the texture on the ring, "Ling Wenxuan would give up such a beautiful ring, what is he thinking about?"

Fr. Lai...... Are you okay?" Seeing that Li Jikui was stunned to see the ring, Song Zixi hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.

"Uh-huh!" Li Jikui coughed a few times and reacted, "I think this ring should be handed over to me for safekeeping, how Bishop Lopelle got the Ring of Miracles is still an unsolved mystery, and your Langtian Adventure Group is also tired these days, so leave this matter to me to investigate." ”

"Father, can I ask you a question?" Shao Yan was indifferent to Li Jikui's grandiose putting the Miracle Ring in his pocket, and she noticed a certain title in Li Jikui's words, "You just called Lo Pele the bishop, could it be that he was really the bishop of the Tianyao Sect before, do you know him?"

"Oh! Let me think about it!" Li Jikui took a sip of tea and stabilized his mood, "I also heard from others, it was more than twenty years before I came to Heglia. Lopelle is said to have been a bishop of the Hergrilla Monastery and was responsible for teaching theology to his congregants on a daily basis, but later he violated the teachings of the Illusory Cult and fell in love with a nun who was still his student. This was a great blasphemy against the Tianyao Sect at the time, and the Phantom Yao Sect immediately announced the death penalty for the two men, and one morning, the two were burned to death in public on the streets of Heglila. ”

After listening to Li Jikui's narration, Lin Yaoxi immediately stood up and pouted: "Hmph! No wonder Lo Pele will hate you Tianyao Sect so much, and take revenge on you at all costs, look at these bad things you have done to destroy humanity, I am really ashamed of your religious teachings full of benevolence, righteousness and morality." ”

"The mistakes of our Tianyao Sect are all about cleansing the sins of the world and making others less sinful. Li Jikui stretched out his hand and made a gesture of prayer, "I am ashamed that the Tianyao Sect failed to save Li Jikui, and at the same time, I also wish the souls of the villagers of Grancia Village, who died tragically at the hands of Li Jikui, can rest in peace as soon as possible." ”

Lin Yaoxi stuck out her tongue in disgust: "Don't pretend to be a saint, let me ask you, do you give or not give the entrusted reward?"

"I'll give ...... I'll give it to you. After that, Li Jikui took out a check from the front of the case, signed his name, and handed it to Shao Yan, "Take this to take out a million Belen from the money bank in the city." ”

"Really? Thank you then!" Lin Yaoxi smiled and snatched the check from Shao Yan's hand, didn't say hello, and rushed out of the door in a hurry.

Shao Yan shook her head helplessly and chased out.

"Thank you, Fr. Lai, for your honorarium, and we'll leave it at that. With that, Song Zixi saluted and left the room.

However, Xue Shaoling, who was the last to leave, discovered a shocking fact through the crack in the door when he closed the door: the Miracle Ring had been worn on Li Jikui's right middle finger at some point.
