Chapter 12: The Return of the Relic

"Dark Moon...... Wand......"

The moment they heard this, the three ladies didn't understand what Shul was talking about.

The Darkmoon Relic is an eternal pain for all priests who serve Darkmoon, and a shame in the hearts of every priest. Everyone is looking forward to the day when the holy relics will be recovered, but in the face of the increasingly decaying church, everyone knows that they can only stay in anticipation.

It never occurred to the three ladies that in their lifetimes they would actually see the return of the holy relics, even if it was just one of them.

No, maybe Lisa thought of it, because she always believed that her brother could do anything.

So she reacted as quickly as she could, and after being stunned for a few seconds, she let out an amazing scream, and the volume almost shattered Shuer's eardrums: "Dark Moon Scepter?

"Or is there another Darkmoon Scepter?" Shure didn't blame Lisa for losing her bishop's majesty, but wrapped the cloth in his hand around the stone platform and unfolded it, revealing the smooth staff that was as black as ink.

The moment the Darkmoon Scepter was exposed in front of the icon, a storm of divine power erupted in the small room.

The power of the dark moon surged between the holy object and the icon, and the majestic divine power quickly spread out to the surroundings with the icon as the core, filling the entire holy area in the blink of an eye. In the next second, the divine power spread again, and in an instant, it swept the whole city, and everyone in the Rose City felt the powerful divine majesty at this moment, as if they were facing the gods walking in the mortal world, and a strong urge to kneel rose in their hearts.

Fortunately, the divine power was collected as soon as it was launched, and it quickly subsided, leaving only a faint residual divine power to precipitate in the Dark Moon Sanctuary.

Everything only happened in a moment, but on the street, there were already many ordinary people who fell to their knees under the coercion of divinity. They slowly got up with puzzled looks, you look at me, I look at you, guessing which true god is patrolling their territory.

This is just the reaction of ordinary people, but it is not only them who are affected, but also those who are priests in the temple area or other temple headquarters, those who truly have the power of the gods.

"It's ...... The dark moon at dusk?" In the golden sunlight, the old man gazed softly at the radiant icon of the sun god Sur on the golden carriage.

"Darkmoon's gaze?" "In the temple where the breeze blows forever, the high priestess of Thelo, his short halfling beard fluttering in the wind, "What attracts Darkmoon's attention?"

"The return of the holy relics? In front of the eternally dusty Mother Earth Icon, a kind middle-aged woman caress the ear of wheat on her head, for these people, the loss of the Dark Moon Relic is not a big secret, "Can he really bring the dying Dark Moon back to life?

"Is this a demonstration, priest of the Dark Moon?" the girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, basked in the silver moonlight, frowned. Every day at this time, it is the moment when Archbishop Diana personally preaches the canon to the priests, and this moment is chosen to return the holy relics, "Hmph, it is simply sinister. ”

Every pope of the church based in the City of Roses, their energy perception is focused on the direction of the Dark Moon Sanctuary, thinking about their own thoughts.

However, the four people of the Dark Moon Temple didn't have the heart to think about this, at least for the time being, after all, under the power of the Dark Moon, they bore the brunt.

Of course, it's not a bad thing, no matter how strong the power of the gods is, they won't hurt their own believers for no reason, they only get benefits.

The return of the relict sparked a resonance with the divine power of the icon, which in turn attracted the gaze of the gods, and the surging divine power poured out of the icon, triggering a vision that affected the whole city, and the four of them were bathed in divine light at the same time. When the divine power was withdrawn from the icon and everything fell silent, the four of them found that their bodies had been inadvertently washed by the divine power, and not only did their spiritual power skyrocket for no reason, but their perception of the divine power was also more keen, which meant that they could control the exclusive divine art of the dark moon more freely.

Melia and Tarina, in particular, had been miraculous for them.

Both are nuns who serve the Dark Moon, but they are not priests.

The so-called nuns and priests are ordinary people who are accepted by the church by the church by firmly serving the gods with all their bodies and minds, they are not professionals, they cannot control energy and use divine arts, so they cannot join the ranks of the priesthood, they can only do some peripheral work for the temple, and only by breaking through the limits of the body and entering the realm of professionals can they go further and become priests who truly serve the gods.

However, the two nuns are already in their thirties, and they have no combat experience, so the possibility of breaking through their physical limits is very small, and they know that they may not have a chance to become the Darkmoon Priest in this life, and they slowly accept this reality, and are willing to serve the temple as nuns.

However, this sudden situation unexpectedly changed their fate, and being baptized by divine power at close range, coupled with faith affinity, caused their bodies to forcibly break through the limits of ordinary people and sense energy fluctuations.

This means that they have entered the realm of professionals, even if they are only the lowest-level professionals, and they can also obtain the qualifications to become Darkmoon priests.

"Poof" twice, the two of them knelt on the ground weakly at the same time, looking at the Dark Moon Icon with dull eyes, the return of the holy relics, and their own breakthroughs, so that the two of them were completely at a loss, and their brains were in a mess, and they could no longer understand whether everything that happened in front of them was real or a dream.

"Yike!!!"

It was still Lisa calling, and it was right in Shure's ear.

The surprised girl threw herself directly on Shuer's back, strangled his neck, and let out a scream of surprise comparable to the howl of a banshee.

"Ahem, ahem, you come down for me, ahem, uh, I'm going to die. "Just a little bit, Shure will become the first battle priest to be strangled by the archbishop's own hands.

Fortunately, the great Lord Lisa, although her face was still red with excitement, she came back to her senses in time, climbed down from her brother's back, held Shuer's hand hard, and stared at the warm black scepter on the stone platform without blinking.

"Brother, I'm not dreaming, it's all true. ”

"I don't think it's like a dream. Gently rubbing Lisa's soft blonde hair, Shul smiled and encouraged, "Don't you plan to go and see it? It's an exclusive relic that can only be used by archbishops, and one of the long-lost relics to be found, your archbishop's name will be sung by future generations of Darkmoon believers." ”

Unexpectedly, the girl did not rush over as excitedly as Shuer imagined, but turned around and looked at Shuer's face blankly, the joy and excitement in her eyes were slowly fading.

"Brother. The girl's voice was soft, "It's hard." ”

"It's fine, it's just a coincidence. Shuer said nonchalantly, "I just happened to find the right thing, so I exchanged the holy relic back." ”

"Really?" Smiling noncommittally, Lisa gently hugged Shuer's waist, pressed her face to his chest, and closed her eyes to listen to his powerful heartbeat, "Brother, are you trying to lie to me again?"

"How is it possible, I ......"

"You've participated in three movie chases in two months, and that's never been done before. This includes even my teammates who are not familiar with it, and I have experienced it and know what that means. Heh, chasing shadows is already dangerous, chasing shadows with unfamiliar teammates is tantamount to gambling on your life, can you tell me, why do you do this?"

"Uh......"

"Two months, three times, more than most shadow chasers do in a year. I didn't know why my brother was fighting so hard all of a sudden, but in order not to worry him, I never asked why. Heh, don't ask now, I know, hehe, coincidence?"

"Well, I was wrong, not a coincidence, but ......"

"Shhhh The girl raised her hand and pressed Shuer's mouth, looked up at his face, the smile on her face was intoxicating, "Don't say so much, brother, I really don't need to, I'm listening to your heartbeat, the words in your heart are all spoken by the heartbeat, I hear them all." ”

"The ......," Shure scratched his head in confusion, "Well, aren't you really going to see the relics?"

"Hee-hee, my brother is stupid. The Great Demon King Lisa is back, the girl grinned and stepped heavily on the instep of Shuer's feet, and floated to the edge of the stone platform like a gust of wind, holding the Dark Moon Scepter and holding it high in front of the idol, "Lord Goddess, under your protection, my brother has finally found the sacred thing, and the moonless moon will hang in the sky forever." ”

The moment the Darkmoon Scepter was raised to its highest, a vision suddenly appeared.

Intense light emanated from the icon, and while the intense divine light did not harm the eyes, it made it impossible for mortals to look directly.

By the time the light had faded, the image had changed, and it was a stone sculpture, but it had changed its image against common sense.

The icon that was originally standing with his hands hanging down had raised his right hand at this time, and a black scepter appeared out of thin air, and the icon was holding it in his hand and pointing forward, as if he was releasing divine magic.

With the change of the form of the icon, the energy fluctuations in the Dark Moon Sanctuary are also slowly changing, and the power of the Dark Moon that only believers can feel has quietly increased a little, and being in the Sanctuary can allow believers to exert more powerful power.

"Hah, the great Lord Lisa finally has a weapon. The scepter on the icon and the holy relic in Lisa's hand are the same or the same, the girl waved the scepter happily and said excitedly, "Brother, this is the best gift, I like my brother the most!"

"Ahem, ahem. A few dry coughs, an embarrassed look on the surface, but the narrowed eyes revealed the snickering joy in the heart of a certain bastard priest. Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, Xiu'er smashed his palm, "Okay, in order to celebrate the return of the holy relics, let's go to a big dinner today." ”

"Wow, brother, are you crazy with joy? But it doesn't matter, I like this proposal so much, Aunt Tarina, go and get the children over, and let's go together." ”

"Hey, I didn't say I'm taking them with me. ”

"Hey, you still have to bring it in the end anyway, so don't resist. The girl took Shuer's arm and smiled like a flower, "Let's go, let's have a big meal." ”

Lisa-sama's peaceful days are so happy.
