Chapter 175: "All Wishes Come True" (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
When approaching the Valley of Death, both Lucien and Natasha couldn't believe their eyes, the valley in the darkness was devoid of the gloomy and bleak descriptions and rumors, the gray mist was entangled, and there was no mournful ghost cries, revealing an indescribable calm, which made people unbearable to disturb the deepest and deepest sleep, and, looking far away, they could vaguely see the valley exuding a soft holy light.
"Is this the Valley of Death?" Natasha looked back at the cold and terrifying forest, making sure she wasn't in the wrong place.
And in that forest, frightening cries rang out from time to time, and the necromantic servants of the demigod lich were still searching for the whereabouts of Lucien and Natasha.
Lucien shook his head: "This is the Valley of Death, El really seems to be weird, I will use the peep eye to sneak in to investigate first, I can't rush in." ”
After saying that, Lucien first took off the "Ring of Congus" and cast many defensive and alert spells on Natasha and himself, and then took out the crystal ball and rubbed it a few times, causing it to spit out a thumb-sized black mass of flesh, covered with deep folds.
The mass of flesh snapped open, revealing the corners of its pale but black-lined eyes, and then split into nine, merging into the darkness and heading towards the Valley of Death.
Lucien led Natasha to follow, taking refuge in the depression of the cliff not far from the Valley of Death, this world is severely suppressed by spiritual power, and even the distance of the detection magic of "peeping into the magic eye" has been shortened a lot.
The abnormal darkness inside the crystal ball vanished, revealing what the eye could see. They are diving into the valley of death from different angles.
"That's?" Natasha said, pointing to a scene in a part of the crystal ball, where a ghoul-like creature more than two meters tall was also cautiously entering the Valley of Death, oblivious to the peeking eye above it, "Congus's necromantic servant?"
"I guess, in terms of time, they should have finished searching the woods, and Congus is still in the main physical realm, and he can't command them remotely, uh, it's a soul demon. Lucien frowned slightly.
Natasha doesn't know as much about monsters as Lucien. Curious, he asked, "Soul Prisoner?" ”
"Yes. It's a weird and powerful undead creature, don't be fooled by its ghoul-like appearance, look at what's beneath the rotting flesh of its belly. Lucien was happy to explain, reminding her not to be negligent with this undead creature in the future.
In order to see a little more clearly. Natasha leaned against Lucien without any fuss. Breath can be heard. Makes Lucien blush slightly and uncomfortable.
"It had three tiny but clear faces on the ribs of its abdomen, and its expression was full of pain. As the Eye changed direction, Natasha finally saw the front of the Soul Prisoner.
Lucien solemnly pointed to the belly of the Soul Prisoner: "This is the soul of the creature it killed. Being able to imprison three means that it is a mutated Soul Prisoner, which is equivalent to a high-level. These souls bring enough energy to use spell-like abilities, equivalent to warlocks of the same level, good at necromancy and illusion, and when attacking it with spells, the effects and some types of damage will be transferred to these three souls, and until these three souls are destroyed, the Soul Prisoner is not affected, and is in a state of incapacitating the other magic. ”
"Of course, at this time, you can achieve a good effect by directly using physical attack type magic, and for knights, the main thing is not to confuse it with ghouls, and be hurt by its quasi-spells. ”
A dimple appeared on Natasha's cheeks: "It's really weird, let the peep follow it and see what changes it will cause in the Valley of Death." ”
Even if Natasha didn't say anything, Lucien would do the same, letting one of the Eyes sneak behind the Soul Prisoner.
In the Valley of Death, countless vines are dense, blocking the starlight, dim and dead.
As the Soul Prisoner and the Peeping Demon Eye deepened, the darkness became thicker and thicker, and there were fewer and fewer things that could be seen on the crystal ball, and finally, the nine scenes became pitch black, as if they had fallen into the abnormal darkness created by the power of the supernatural.
Lucien drove to peek at the MONOCULUS, but the order seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no response, and the nine peeping MONOCULUS seemed to be completely integrated into the darkness.
Suddenly, a soft glow lit up on the crystal ball, and the figure of the Soul Prisoner appeared, fighting an angel with a pair of holy wings on its back, and in front of it was the realm of light like the early morning.
At this time, Lucien found that six of the nine peeps had been missing, and only two had passed through the dark area in front of them, except for the one that followed the soul prisoner.
"Angel, where the hell is this?" said Natasha in astonishment.
Lucien hurriedly controlled the other two to change direction, bypassed the battle, and went deeper inside.
The Soul Prisoner Demon was powerful, and it didn't take long to kill the "angel", and he wanted to go deeper, but he was surrounded by more and more angels, and even a lot of four-winged power angels and power angels appeared, but this allowed Lucien's peeping magic eye to sneak in.
The sight of the Eye slowly became clear, and Natasha's pale red lips opened uncontrollably and trembled slightly.
It is a sand with the gentle lapping of the waves, and on the sand there are white souls, who are playing ethereal chants and prayers with the instruments of the harp:
"Praise be to the Most Sovereign, and to the all-knowing and all-powerful God of the Savior......"
The whole beach was wrapped in holy light, as if in a cluster of light, and in the distance of the beach, there was a city with twelve gates, the same length, width and height, decorated with various gems such as agate and jasper, and above the city, there seemed to be six similar layers of the god's domain, four of which could vaguely see a similar joyful scene, and the top two layers, which could not be seen clearly with the ability to spy on the magic eye, but Lucian and Natasha could guess it.
"Blasphemy, this is the greatest blasphemy!Who is imitating Heavenly Mountain!" Natasha does not pay attention to the content of the canon and theological knowledge, so she can be imperceptibly influenced by Lucien and get along with him "friendly", but this naked imitation. But it stimulated her devout faith, and she felt that the creator was full of infinite malice.
"You are one, you are ten thousand, you are instantaneous, and you are eternal......"
The sound of chants and prayers came through the crystal ball, and Lucien frowned slightly, even the prayers and various rituals of the Divine Truth Cult were completely copied? What did Francis really want to make El a "high imitation of the God of Truth"?
I have to say, it's really creative...... Lucien sighed, turned his head and saw Natasha's hands trembling slightly in anger, but Lucien was still in danger. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the demigod lich. I didn't let myself act according to my preferences, and forcibly suppressed my emotions.
Lucien was a little moved, and couldn't help but reach out his left hand and grasp Natasha's left hand, which was not holding a sword. Gently apply force. Give her warmth and comfort.
Natasha's left hand twitched subconsciously. However, he quickly understood what Lucien meant, nodded softly in his eyes, and signaled that he had no problem. Only when the trembling of her hands slowly disappeared did she pull out her left hand with a slight force.
For the first time outside of dancing and fleeing, the two shook hands like this, and Natasha and Lucien were each momentarily silent.
At this moment, a white-robed man with six pairs of illusory wings growing from his back appeared above the angel group, slashing down with his sword, turning into a black hydra, and firmly suppressing the Soul Prisoner Demon, it seemed that it would not be long before he could kill this high-level undead creature.
"Francis, is he?" Natasha knew that Francis was following El, but she didn't expect him to become an imposter Seraph.
Lucien hurriedly cleared up his relationship: "I once infiltrated El's church in order to obtain information, and met Francis, who is proficient in theology and has been inducing El in the direction of the God of Truth, and this fake heavenly mountain should also be instigated by him." ”
As for his own thoughts about following the fool and wanting to study the "growth and change of the God of Truth" up close, he must not let Natasha know the truth!
"It's him! Isn't he the Night's Watch?
Lucien was equally surprised: "He's the Night's Watch?"
He was so nervous and depressed that Lucien forgot to ask Natasha why he wanted to cooperate with Francis, but he turned out to be the night watchman of the Southern Church?
Natasha nodded seriously and solemnly: "I didn't know that he was the Night Watch at first, and neither did Danielle and Cardinal Masada of the 'Purifying Fire', but after Francis talked to them alone, he seemed to have taken out some tokens, gained their trust, and then told me that Francis was the twelfth of the Night Watch." The Thinker', a mysterious night watchman with a code name, is said to have been sent to the Northern Church Execution Agency as a spy, and as a result, he was purified and is also a mysterious person whose information is not released to the public. ”
"Could it be that he has defected to the Northern Church? No, the Northern Church will not tolerate such blasphemy, could it be that he has another layer of identity?" Lucien seemed to smell of a double agent.
Natasha shook her head: "No matter what, no matter what his purpose, such a blasphemy must be judged." When we're out of danger, or if you decide to do something to El, I'll kill him with my own hands. ”
So serious, Lucien quietly wiped a cold sweat, and then suddenly found Natasha looking at him with a smile: "You once slipped into the El Church, you should also have a share of the credit for this blasphemous, right?"
Lucien was about to open his mouth to deny it, but Natasha said solemnly, "Don't lie to me. ”
After thinking about it, Lucien honestly stated his role, his "efforts", and his desire to study the mysteries of the gods: "For me, there is no malice, it is entirely for the purpose of studying the truth of the world. ”
"I know that you've been trying to influence me. Natasha sighed suddenly, "Probably because my attitude towards the Lord itself was influenced by my mother and Granny Hathaway, and I didn't value the Holy Book and the Canon, the Lord is in my heart, closer to the cornerstone of chivalry, so I can accept it." Perhaps, in the future, I will completely make the Lord a spiritual symbol in front of the results of your research and in the face of undeniable facts, but at least not now, I have my own bottom line, I hope you can respect me, hey, it doesn't matter what you do in private, don't be seen by me. ”
Lucien promises very seriously: "Good. ”
After communicating, both of them seemed to have put down some of their baggage and continued to look at the "Heavenly Mountain" in the Valley of Death.
Suddenly, the black, white and gray of Lucian's left hand spread out, causing him to freeze again.
Under the influence of the previous release of control, the frequency of loss of control seems to be higher again.
Natasha solemnly swung the "Pale Justice" at Lucian, and after three consecutive swords, the monotonous color was shattered and recycled, and without Lucian's control, the Peeping Eye was all swallowed by the Holy Light.
"Let's evacuate first. Lucien suggested, "El's eccentricity hasn't been figured out yet, and the Divine Domain is his home turf, so you can't do it rashly, at least lure him out." ”
Since the use of the magic on the Ring of Congus is acting on the outside world, Lucien fears that it will lose the cover of Silvermoon Etna, causing the demigod lich to be alerted in advance, guessing that he can use the ring, so he plans to "capture" El with other magic.
As soon as the words fell, a figure flew out of the Valley of Death, as if it was El, and the targets were Lucien and Natasha!(To be continued......
