Thick dark clouds cover the sky, the streets near the evening have been dark, many passers-by are in a hurry to go home, no matter when, what era, except for individual people, being wet by the rain is always not a good experience, especially in places where medical means are backward or not yet popular, drenching sickness often means death.

These passers-by were all dressed in similar gray-white linen robes, and they did not see any superfluous colors, superfluous styles, only the patrolling soldiers who passed by from time to time stood out from the crowd, bronze cuirass and shins, iron-black sharp swords and sharp spears, which made them full of martial courage and fierceness.

Lucien, wrapped in a linen robe, followed closely behind a middle-aged man with fast and slow steps, and the two of them sometimes turned into the alley, sometimes walking down the street, no different from ordinary passers-by.

The sky was getting darker, the wind was howling, and the rain seemed to be coming at any moment, and the patrolling soldiers quickened their march and hurried back to the barracks in the city.

Stopping in front of a small two-story stone building, the middle-aged man looked around vigilantly, and confirmed that he did not pay attention to this side, and then gently knocked on the walnut door, the rhythm of the technique is very unique, first knocked twice in the center of the wooden door, and then knocked three times on the left near the rotating position, and finally knocked on the door lock, each making a different sound.

After ten seconds of silence, a hole suddenly opened in the door, and a light brown eyeball appeared behind it.

The middle-aged man stepped back so that the eye could clearly see the gray rose pattern on the corner of his clothes.

This pattern is so inconspicuous, if it weren't for the fact that it would have been known for a long time. No one could have found out.

And Lucien also turned sideways, so that the "gray rose" in the corner of his clothes stood out.

The light brown eyes blinked and disappeared into the doorway, and then the walnut door slowly opened, and a man with a hunched back in the shape of a dwarf whispered, "Two honorable heralds, the 'crown' awaits you. ”

The middle-aged man bowed his head slightly, and as he flashed into the house, he motioned with his gaze for Lucien to follow.

Lucien was not as agile and vigilant as he was, smiling and pushing open the door and calmly entering. It's like visiting a normal family of friends. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

After being forced into the "Otherworldly Gate" by the Night's Watch assassins, Lucien was thrown into this inexplicable "Bethitan" city due to the self-explosion attack of the gate and the disorder of spatial teleportation. And because the most late stage is out of the protection of the Otherworldly Gate. The whole person was severely injured by spatial concussion. Not only was his body seriously injured, but even his soul was in a state of malaise, leaving only the level of ordinary knights and mid-level magicians. The equipment on his body even cracked when he was helping to defend against space storms, and he needed to be repaired before he could use it.

However, Lucien was lucky, he didn't meet the high-ranking clergy or cardinals of the church, nor did he encounter false gods and monsters, and was taken in by a kind old grandfather "Norton", after two months of cultivation, the magic strength and knightly level were restored to the same as before, the only problem was that the magic items worn on the body at that time, such as the Holm crown ring, needed to be repaired with special materials, of course, the legendary level "Sun Crown" and the ninth-level "Sun Scepter" played the "ability" of matching the level, and did not suffer the slightest trauma.

Similarly, the "Frost", "Pale Justice", and "Transfiguration Mask" in the storage bag are also intact, and even the "Norton" grandfather has only seen Lucian's transformed ordinary appearance.

In the past two months, Lucien has not met a single magician or cleric of the Cult of Truth, nor has he heard from them, it seems that they are still far away from the city, so far away that there are no rumors, and if it weren't for the strange feeling of suppressing the mental force field in the mouth of his teacher Fernando, Lucien would have wondered if he had traveled to another dimension.

From the mouth of the old man "Norton", Lucien knew the situation of the city of "Bethitham", which is located on the shore of the "Eldo" sea, is the capital and economic center of the entire Eldor Peninsula, was originally ruled by the indigenous Balir people, established a complete Baalir kingdom, and believed in the "God of Fire and Destruction" Afando, but more than a hundred years ago, the huge "Ankanoma" empire crossed the sea to attack and conquer this place, and the "God of Fire and Destruction" Alvando was also defeated and exiled by Ananthans, the "Lord of War" believed in by the empire.

The servants of the Ankenoma Empire even claimed that Afando had been completely killed, thus disintegrating the foundation of the Baalir faith.

Because the successive "Governors of Eldor" sent by the "Ankenoma" Empire were tyrannical and treated the Balians as slaves, the peninsula was constantly smoking, and from time to time there were rebels and rebels who converted to other gods who claimed to be favored by Afando, but due to the strength of the Anknoma Empire and the extremely terrifying "gods" of the war, these struggles were suppressed one by one.

These things had nothing to do with Lucien, and he was preparing to carefully collect information about the surrounding terrain and kingdom without revealing himself, and find the traces of the Magic Council, so that safety could be guaranteed - the strange feeling of suppressing the mental force field also suppressed the electromagnetic teleportation technique, and Lucian estimated that the signal would be too bad to communicate if it was more than ten kilometers.

Therefore, without specific information, Lucien did not dare to set off casually, who knows if Lu Dao would directly break into the place controlled by the Truth God Cult or the Blood Clan, and the transformation mask could hide it from others, but not from the cardinals, let alone the Pope and Prince Dracula.

However, the old man "Norton", who has entered the last stage of his life, seems to feel that Lucian's performance in the past two months has crushed the young men, teenagers, and children he adopted, and he can speak Baalir fluently, and is obviously a loyal Balrean - the Ankanoma Empire forcibly promoted the "Anno language" Unless he was cultivated from an early age, and he often practiced because he longed for the independent kingdom of Baal, no young man could speak Baalir so fluently, so he passed on a secret identity to Lucien before he died.

This identity is the high-level of the mysterious organization "Secret Prayer Society", and the seventh disciple of the "God of Fire and Destruction" descended into the incarnation.

Although Lucien said in his heart that it was all due to the magic of 'knowing the language', considering that it was much more convenient for him to have an organization to provide information than to inquire on his own, he agreed, after all, due to the non-stop rebellion, the city of Bethlethan was in the "Governor of Eldor" and the "Temple of War" Under the double high-pressure surveillance, the road of pretending to be a ghost and deceiving memories is not very feasible, relying on the transformation mask to change the identity and infiltrate the high-level of the Ankenoma colony to find intelligence can only be a temporary move, and it is easy to be exposed if the time drags on for more than a day.

Even if it weren't for Norton's identity protection on the surface, Lucien would have been interrogated many times, and Governor Eldor is rumored to be a hybrid of gods and humans, and can use "divine power" like the high priest of the Temple of War, which is equivalent to having two ordinary cardinals or even ninth-level cardinals guarding this place - there are no crazy magicians in this world, and there are no bloodline knights, but some false gods often fornicate and give birth to many offspring, and they also have the similar characteristics of bloodline knights.

Ordinary human beings only have one way to become a god servant and priest to be promoted, and the army can only be used to deal with ordinary people, and there is no way to take the god blood "heroes", the only thing to be thankful for is that the number of god blood heroes is scarce, they are not unemployed, and the suppression of rebellion is not too big, so don't bother the noble god blood people.

Follow the fifth disciple "Ann Hughes" in front of him through the hall, walk to the back of the building, and watch him open a secret door, revealing the stairs to the door, but Lucien seems to be watching an opera that has nothing to do with him, indifferent and indifferent, thinking in his heart whether to find an opportunity to study the incarnation of the "God of Fire and Destruction", this is the first time he has encountered the "Pseudo-God Incarnation", it is a great opportunity to obtain first-hand information, and this is one of the main reasons why Lucien joined the "Secret Prayer Society".

The secret door was followed by a staircase up to Xiang Lu, which seemed to lead all the way to the ceiling and the mezzanine on the second floor, but halfway through, Anshues suddenly stopped and opened a secret door again, this time appearing on the stairs that Xiang Lu descended.

In silence, the two of them walked down for a while, and finally a bronze gate appeared in front of them, which was full of strange flame patterns.

Pressing his hand on one of the flame patterns, Anshuis glowed with a burst of red light, and pushed open the bronze door, behind which was the empty hall with a row of braziers, except for the stone pillars, and only a round table in the center.

There were thirteen chairs at the round table, the top of which was a gold throne encrusted with rubies, which no one had yet occupied, and on each side were six silver seats with similar flame patterns.

At this time, there were already five people sitting on the twelve silver seats, led by a white-haired old man with a thick beard, who looked at Lucian and said, "According to Norton's recommendation before his death, the great god of fire and destruction has made a revelation, and you, Leviathan, will become the seventh disciple." ”

Leviathan is Lucian's pseudonym based on the inspiration of the Great Demon King.

"But you have not yet shown your abilities and have not contributed to God, and in the coming year, we will examine you until you pass the test, and then you will be able to obtain the 'spiritual seed' bestowed by the gods and gain extraordinary power. ”

"Yes. Lucien became curious about the "spiritual seed", is this the key to solving the mysteries of the gods, do you want to catch other disciples or directly capture the god of fire and destruction to study?

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Lucien lightly: "Sit down, wait and hold a baptism of fire for you, now, we have more important things." ”

"What's the matter?" Anshues thought that today was just the flame baptism of the Seventh Apostle.

"A discussion of the way forward, a way for the gods to fully awaken and recover. The old man, the first disciple Jacob, said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
