Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stone of Inheritance
Lin Ke was secretly vigilant in his heart, but this vigilance seemed quite weak.
Soon, he was lost in the boundless temptation of the voice.
He enjoyed it.
The bald man began to get nervous, his complexion turned gray quickly, and even if there was a strong man in the spirit realm here, he could feel that his strength was also regressing rapidly, but at this moment he was staring at Lin Ke who was walking towards the altar step by step, he saw a pure black line emanating from the stone, and shot into Lin Ke's head after crossing a graceful arc in the air, and then Lin Ke walked faster.
The bald man's heart tightened, he did lie, in Lin Ke's long life before, he had arranged more than a dozen similar inheritances, but the bearers were all blown off by black lines in the process of walking to the altar, the papal inheritance of the dark church has always been the most dangerous thing, and even many years ago, most of the elders with extremely high status in the church would refuse to use their children and grandchildren to pass it on, even if the children who succeeded in the inheritance would become candidates for the next pope.
This was the last chance of his life, and he had to succeed or he would become the greatest sinner in the history of the church, and he was not lying.
Lin Ke got closer and closer to the altar, and the sound of temptation became louder and louder, but his soul began to struggle, which made his body tremble, and stunned the bald man who was watching all this closely not far away, he didn't know if he had experienced such a strange scene when he was receiving the inheritance, but even after a thousand years, he still clearly remembered that everything seemed unusually calm, as if he had slept and woke up with the power of a dual-line mage.
Lin Ke trembled more and more, his arms shook violently but still firmly and slowly approached his own head, and then pressed to the position of his temple, "Ah!" He let out a roar, and then his mind was miraculously much clearer, and he could faintly see the altar close at hand through his eyes, and he could see the black stone that was a little vague but still floating quietly in the air, and his originally chaotic brain gradually recalled what had happened, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, and he gradually regained a sense of what reality was.
The bald man saw that the black silk thread connecting the stone and Lin Ke suddenly disappeared, and Lin Ke's body no longer trembled, and he saw him gently walk up to the altar!
This is something that has not happened in thousands of years, and for countless years, even those who built this altar have not climbed it again, because the black stone that inexplicably flew from the sky when the altar was first officially used for prayer, and it repelled all living beings, even the strong of the Holy Spirit!
The bald man was stunned, he wanted to interrupt Linko's actions, but he knew that there was nothing he could do, his eyes widened, he knew that he might be witnessing an event that could change history, at least, it would completely rewrite the history of the Dark Church, rise or fall.
Time seems to have slowed down.
Lin Ke walked up the steps to the altar step by step, his steps were very slow, and then he slowly raised his hand, approached, touched!
At that moment, the whole space seemed to shake, but if you look closely, it seems that nothing has changed, and even the bald man whose strength has fallen back to the Qingling Realm can only vaguely see a trace of imperceptible waves in the ocean of rules, and disappear in an instant, but after he reacted, the whole person couldn't help but stay on the spot, because he saw the most incredible scene in his thousand-year-old life!
On the altar, the black stone blocks disappeared!!
And Lin Ke stood there stunned!
A huge energy storm unfolds around Lin Ke!
The bald man didn't care about the fluctuation of energy, which was almost nothing to him, and he was still staring at the place on the altar where the pure black stone seemed to last forever.
The thing of inheritance.
Nope.
His heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse for the Dark Church that had been passed down for countless years.
He looked at the boy who was still standing on the altar with some anxiety and anger, and his mood was extremely complicated.
But he never did anything.
Because he was going to die.
He must hand over the legacy of the Dark Church to the man in front of him.
Because maybe from now on, the dark church will not have a pope except for himself and the boy in front of him, who will not live long......
――――――――――――――――――――
Lin Ke felt as if he had a strange dream when he was half asleep.
He dreamed that he was in an endless darkness, and that darkness brought him not unknown and fearful, but warm comfort, like the hands of his imaginary mother in his previous life.
She shaped herself with her hands and raised herself with her hands.
He experienced it all in a chaotic way, and his heart was full of peace.
He forgot all about the outside world again, and he was bent on experiencing the darkness.
Mysterious, yet fascinating darkness.
The source of great power.
I don't know how long it has been like this.
Lin Ke opened his eyes.
Everything is clear.
He got it!
The top floor of the central nave.
No matter how turbulent the world outside the light curtain is, it will not bring a trace of noise here.
"This is probably the most unexpected inheritance of the Dark Church in countless years," the bald man said to Lin Ke who slowly walked towards him, his tone was extremely complicated, "I can't be sure if this is another new era for the Dark Church or the beginning of a complete demise. ”
"But I think you should try to make a bet, bet that I can inherit the will of the Dark Church for countless years, and bet that I can bring the Church a glory that has not appeared for tens of thousands of years if I have been recognized by the Inheritance Stone," Lin Ke stared at the bald man calmly, but his heart was not calm, how could he not worry that the other party would kill him and retrieve the strange stone that was lying quietly in his soul space at the moment?
"Losing the bet," the bald man's expression became unpredictable again, "Losing the bet means that the countless years of inheritance of the Dark Church are broken in my Wendell's hands?!"
Lin Ke then knew that this bald man's name was Wendell, and he bowed to the other party to express his humility, "Even if you kill me now and take out that stone, it can't change the fate of the Dark Church inheritance being severed, on the contrary, if you put the bet on me, you really have the possibility of winning the bet, at that time, you will become the most critical person to inherit the old and new eras, besides," Lin Ke said in a casual tone, "You shouldn't be sure if that stone will return to the altar after killing me, right?" It's so magical. ”
The bald man Wendell smiled slightly, he suddenly had a little confidence in this clever boy, "Although I have never been a gambler, I have to gamble at the end of my life, even if the stakes are too big to be believed, let's go, new Pope, I think I can only give you half an hour to loot the treasure house, and after half an hour I must send you away," Wendell smiled mockingly, I forgot to tell you that if you want to open that huge transoceanic teleportation array, you can't even think about it without at least the strength of the Qingling Realm, that is to say, after I use my last strength to send you back to the periphery of the Storm Ocean, you will not be able to return here at any time, until one day you become a powerhouse of the Qingling Realm, and at that time," the bald Wendell opened his arms violently, "Everything here will belong to you and to you alone!"
Lin Ke didn't speak, but silently quickened his pace.
On the one hand, the wind energy reserves that had skyrocketed several times made him clearly feel that he was powerful, and that feeling was very fascinating, while on the other hand, the dark energy wrapped in black stones in the depths of his soul and even much larger than the wind energy gave him a sense of absurdity but seductiveness.
Lin Ke shook his hands without a trace, no matter what, the surge in strength is a good thing, it feels so good, he can't help but think, if he faces Daley again at this time, I'm afraid the battle will become a little suspenseful.
Half an hour later, Lin Ke and the bald man came to the center of a huge teleportation array behind the central hall that could almost be called a square, the latter's complexion was obviously much worse, and at this moment he just looked at Lin Ke with a painful face, and rarely showed a little mildness, " Remember, never let a person from the Church of Light know too much about you, no matter how trustworthy he may seem, light and darkness can never coexist, this is the greatest rule in the world, and it is my last piece of advice to you, because, with my life, I have proved its truth," Wendell said softly, I've been with you for a short time, I'm afraid it's less than a whole day even when you're sober, but our fates have been linked, my life is too tortuous and too monotonous, lacking all the colors, I have no relatives or even know who they are, I don't have a lover because I know it's too luxurious, I don't have children and grandchildren, I'm afraid of hurting them, I don't have friends, the only friend I identified ended up killing me, hehe, until now, I'm nagging," He shook his head a little bored, and stretched out his finger to touch the ring on the middle finger of Lin Ke's right hand, "It can guide you to those chess pieces that I have laid all over the continent over the years, and when they get close to you within a hundred meters, you will have a sense." Many of them should have been secretly uprooted by the Church of Light, but some of the more deeply hidden ones must still be alive, and those who can survive this continent-wide purge will be the elite. I'm not going to tell you who they are, I want all of them to be free with my death, but you can try to find them, and that will be a little bit of an arm for you. ”
"It's also possible that the Church of Light is used for fishing, right?" asked Lin Ke, puzzled.
"No," Wendell shook his head, "The Church of Light and the Church of Darkness have been enemies for too many years, they know us too well, I know them too well, they know very well that I don't have long to live, and in just a few days, those people who can only look at the sky with their eyes will not believe that a new heir has appeared, maybe now they are celebrating the fall of the Dark Church on that famous holy mountain, hehe," he smiled heartily," An enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying, you have to learn to forbear. ”
Lin Ke nodded.
The bald Wendell looked at the big black horse behind Lin Ke and smiled, "It was originally a hybrid horse with a thin dragon blood hidden in its body, I just stimulated that strong bloodline, maybe it can be regarded as a kind of wurm, but the bloodline belonging to the dragon family is too shallow, treat it well, it may give you some other surprises." ”
"Could it be that you can still grow a pair of wings?" Lin Ke looked at the big black horse in surprise.
The bald Wendell immediately dispelled his passion and said with a mocking smile, "Do you still expect this horse to become a dragon? ”
Lin Ke shook his head speechlessly and stopped talking.
Wendell smiled nonchalantly, "You want to be a real dragon knight?"
"There's no one who doesn't want to," Lin Ke said with a grin.
"Alright," Wendell looked in the direction of the east, across the stormy ocean, where the legendary Dragon Isle is located, "try to go in that direction, maybe one day, you can recreate the glory of the Dark Church in ancient times, and make the dragons the monsters that guard the gates of the Church!"
"Well, my time is running out, farewell, my child, go to the end of that ambition in your heart! The scenery must be good!" With Wendell's words, the entire teleportation array began to glow violently, and Linko had to cover his eyes with his hand, he saw Wendell smile and nod to him, and a little light did not reach Lilith's forehead, which had been lying quietly beside Linko, whose eyelids twitched and opened his eyes.
The light lit up violently, and in a flash, leaving only an old and decrepit man on the teleportation array, like a withered flower.
He slowly turned around and walked towards the central hall but did not enter, but slowly sat down against the wall at the gate, looked at the direction of the teleportation array and closed his eyes with a smile.
He heard the kid call him at the last moment.
He called him Teacher.
