Chapter 33: The Eternal Sleep of the Moon
Shure slowly walked out of the door.
"God says, 'All creatures are beloved by me.'" "A black robe is solemn and solemn, and the silver mace at his waist exudes divine power.
"God says, Look down on all the afflictions of the world as I have suffered them. "On the Dark Moon Sacred Book floating in front of him, mysterious divine words danced.
"God said, "I will protect the world with my body." "The round dark moon amulet on the chest, which symbolizes the full moon, faintly exudes divine energy.
"The hustle and bustle of the world, the troubles of life, and the peace can only be enjoyed after death. There was no wind in front of him, and the fingers of the two free hands were constantly jumping, flexibly forming various spell marks, and each change of the spell mark made the divine power exuded by Xiu'er stronger.
"The Lord has mercy on the world, and sends down a lightless light, and guards the side of the dead, and gives peace to the deceased. "The hands finally come together in front of the chest, and the thumbs and forefingers of both hands form a standard circle in front of the chest.
"Praise the Lord's name and thank the Lord's grace. "With his hands apart, his right hand drawing a circle on his chest representing the Dark Moon, the voice of prayer grew louder and louder, as if to break through the city, break through the mountain walls, break through the plane barriers, and reach the night sky of Pavatiga," in the name of Lord Luna, call upon the light of the Dark Moon to come, and to the departed, grant you eternal peace. β
Dark moon, no light.
There were no strange sounds, no light descending, it just happened.
As Shur finally spread his hands at his side, majestic divine energy erupted from his body, and at the same time, it had already swept across the entire battlefield.
All enemies, wounded and intact, both in battle and waiting, with the exception of the dead, who were already under Miriday's control, stopped all movement as if they had been suddenly frozen, as if time had lost its effect.
"Life to life, death to death, moon without light, holy. Fingers circled his chest again, and Shur said his final prayer.
The breeze blows, and the stagnant enemies suddenly disperse with the wind, turning into endless dust, drifting away with the breeze, and finally returning to the city where they once lived day and night.
"So, Shuer, I hate you, I hate you the most. Miriday's extremely dissatisfied complaint came from behind, "And the dark moon behind you, it's so annoying, why do you always do such a thankless job?"
"Shhhh Shul turned around and gave a gentle smile and put his index finger to his lips in a soft boo.
At this moment, Miridi felt that she had seen an illusion, and above Shuer's head, it seemed that a dark moon without light was rising, and under the dark moon, the black-robed Shur smiled at him holy, gentle as a god.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust. Bowing his head and kissing the Dark Moon Talisman, Shur ended his magic and the battlefield returned to calm.
This is one of the three most difficult range offensive divine techniques in the Dark Moon Temple, in the past hundred years, no priesthood can use it, of course, on the one hand, because the temple is too difficult, there are fewer and fewer priests, but on the other hand, it is also because this divine technique is too complicated, and the difficulty of releasing it is too high, even if it is Xiuer, it will take a long time to prepare.
The magic is very troublesome, and the effect is ...... Actually, it's also very troublesome.
Within the scope of the Divine Arts, all corpses return to eternal sleep and can no longer be evoked, but have no effect on the resurrected dead.
It's a boring magic spell, extremely difficult, can't fight the undead, can't fight against creatures, and is almost useless except to make necromancers annoying, and it's no wonder that Miridy is extremely dissatisfied.
However, it does work, because it really allows the soul to return to the underworld, and the instincts left on the corpse can be blissfully and forever undisturbed.
"It is the job of Haas, the god of death, to purify the souls of the dead, and it is the mission of Ava, the mother of life, even if you purify the corpse, you will not get any benefit, Lady Darkmoon, she ......"
"For the weary soul to rest, of course. Xiuer smiled faintly, "As for the benefits, hehe, wordless giving, silent protection, and unknown love, my lord doesn't need to consider the benefits." β
"I can't stand you guys. The necromancer was really speechless, so he could only twist his head and say awkwardly, "But I must admit that the magic works well. β
Indeed, this boring and difficult magic technique seems to be tailor-made for the current situation. All enemies are actually dead, and they have not been turned into undead, even if they are controlled by an unknown force, they are fully eligible for the magic to take effect. As a result, the city is clean, at least this layer is clean.
"Knock knock", the heavy footsteps gradually approached, and the tall skeleton walked back against the white bone giant sword.
"Dang", the greatsword was tossed aside, and the hideous skeleton fell to one knee in front of Miriday, like a knight loyal to the princess, and respectfully plucked the skull, holding it in both hands and offering it to her.
"Glory to you, my friend. Taking the skull with both hands, the necromancer was particularly serious at this moment, "When the trumpet of war blows next time, you will surely recover, and then let us fight side by side again." β
"Whoa", the soul fire in the eyes of the skull was extinguished, and the humanoid skeleton was scattered all over the ground.
"Hahaha, it's a win. The dwarf reverted back to his original stocky appearance, "How's the captain, I'm not hurt." β
"Well done. Shul kicked the dwarven armor and looked around at his teammates, "Are you all right?"
"Hey, chief, how can it be bad, cough cough cough. As soon as he finished speaking, the halfling couldn't help coughing a few times, obviously in the explosion just now, the choking had not yet eased, "Now can you explain, what the hell is going on?"
"Let's take a moment and look at the results of our work first. Shure raised his head and observed the strange city, "It seems that the effect is very good, the city has come to life." β
Indeed, the energy supply was restored, and the city under the darkness was completely revived.
Above the city, in the middle of the hard glass of the dome, a golden sun lit up. It wouldn't be the actual sun, of course, but it looked like an artificial light source built by the frogs for the city.
Now everyone finally knows why most of the floor of each floor of the eight-story city is paved with transparent hard glass, and the sunlight emitted by the artificial light source shines through the layers of hard glass to the lowest floor, so that the whole city is bathed in sunlight.
Looking around, the faΓ§ade of the building is mostly made of metal, and the walls shimmer silver in the sunlight. Under the light, the hemispherical buildings are scattered, and they look full of different beauty.
Although most of the doors and windows of the houses on the lowest floor have been cracked, the overall structure of the houses is still intact and has not been seriously damaged.
"It's finally lit up. The dwarf's thunderous voice sounded, and looking at him now like a thief, it was hard to imagine that not long ago, when he faced hundreds of strange enemies, he stood as heroic as the god of war descended, "Captain, these frogmen are so strange, as if they have some deep hatred with us, they desperately want to attack us, and they are not afraid of death at all." β
"The eternal sleep of the moon only works on the dead, who are already dead. Shul shook his head, his eyes still looking around, making sure that most of the buildings around him were lit up. It seems that the machinery and equipment of the frog people are still very reliable, and even if no one maintains them for many years, they can still operate normally.
"Macajelen, make sure the door to the energy supply center is locked, I don't want the equipment inside to be destroyed by something strange not long after we left. β
"Absolutely no problem, double-checked several times. β
"That's good, hurry up now, explore the first layer as soon as possible today, no matter what the harvest is, start looking for the detached point tomorrow, and once you find the exit, everyone will get out as soon as possible. β
"Huh?" exclaimed, but no one asked why, everyone just nodded their heads in agreement.
"At night, it's too dangerous. Shuer took the initiative to explain, "Anyway, the harvest has far exceeded expectations, so don't be too greedy." Anyway, try to explore as many locations as possible today, and no one will get too much of this kind of stuff. β
"I have questions. The necromancer raised his hand, "Since it's so urgent, it's better to explore separately." The frogmen we killed just now, I calculated that it was about five hundred, and in terms of the size of the city, this number should be the entire population, and the chance of encountering an attack of that size just now is not high. β
"Proposal to reject, collective action, separate is strictly prohibited. β
"Okay, got it. β
"Mobuck, Mia, you two are mainly responsible for finding strange things, and it depends on the two of you how much you can earn this time. β
Mia gave a thumbs up with a blank face.
"Maca Jalen. β
"Ahem, ahem, I'm here. β
Shuer frowned and asked a little worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, Chief, it's just that I was choked on and my throat was a little uncomfortable. The halfling patted his chest, "The state is absolutely fine, no secret doors, traps, or traps can escape my eyes." β
"Okay, you act with them, don't worry, we're behind us. β
"Ahem, no problem. β
"Then let's get moving, and the faster you go, the more areas you'll explore. By the way, Saf, pen and paper are given to you, and you can record it. β
"What are the records?" asked the female swordswoman softly as she hid behind Shure, "Oh, are these the door numbers?"
"Yes, what is written on the door number should be the energy supply or name of these buildings, this is the best opportunity, you can master a large number of nouns, and with these nouns as a breakthrough, maybe you will soon be able to decipher their words. β
"Okay, leave it to me. The female swordsman replied happily, but then realized that her voice was a little loud, and immediately shrunk her neck and hid behind Shu'er.
"So, the harvest is here, now search for riches and fame. β
