Chapter 30: The Roots

What are you kidding, praying is not a spell, how can it fail? But no one could laugh, because Shuer's expression didn't look like he was joking at all, and besides, what was the situation when there was no response?

"Won't Lord Luna give an answer?" asked a priest she didn't know, and she usually held a lot of power, but now she had to ask cautiously, "Or does Darkmoon-sama have any concerns?"

Literally, there was no response from my lord. Shul accentuated his tone and repeated what he had just said, "There was no answer to my prayers at all, not even the most basic reaction. ”

"Hum", even if they are all high-powered bigwigs, they were aroused by Shuer's words, and there was a whispering voice.

Prayer is the most effective way for mortals to communicate with the gods, every believer will pray to the gods, and if they reply one by one, even the gods will be exhausted, well, except for gods like Luna, she will not feel tired even if she replies to each prayer a hundred times.

The gods do not respond to most prayers, even if the person who prays is a priest. The only exception is the high priesthood present who can be called the apostles of the gods, and their prayers will definitely be answered by the gods, otherwise they are not qualified to be called apostles.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the apostles' prayers to go unanswered, and when this happens, it is a sign that something is wrong. The absence of a response represents the severance of the bond between the gods and the mortal world, which, according to past experience, is impossible unless the gods fall into a deep sleep or fall.

Is Luna asleep? This is the first possibility that comes to everyone's mind, it can't be such a coincidence, and at a critical time like this?

"In the name of the Lord. As soon as Shur raised his hand, the light of divine magic fell from heaven and sprinkled on each of the priests, "My lord is not asleep. ”

Indeed, the concentration of spirituality can still be used, which means that the bond has not been severed, and the Holy Spirit can still respond to his own believers, whew, fortunately, everyone is relieved, but since they are not asleep, why has there been no response?

"How do I know. Shuer spread his hands, "Maybe I was too involved in a daze and forgot about it." ”

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, staring at him with strange eyes, you are a priest, is it really appropriate to blaspheme the Holy Spirit like this?

"Put aside the reason for not responding. "Shul is the most uneasy, and he wants to know the answer the most. Luna is his savior, and now it's just a relationship between a god and a servant, but Shure has long regarded the goddess as his family, and in this world, the person he values the most is Luna-sama besides Lisa. Luna might have a problem, and Shul is more nervous than anyone else. But every minute is precious now, and there is no room for discussing the reason slowly, even if you really want to help her, you have to wait until the current crisis is solved before thinking of a way, "Lord Orana, now or another priest to pray to the other gods, try to see if there is no response due to external problems, or we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"I see. "Worthy of being an archbishop who has been in power for decades, Orlana has recovered from his stunned in the blink of an eye, "Does Your Excellency Shul have any ideas?"

"I think the key problem is the cause, and the only way to solve the problem is to find out the cause. Therefore, we still have to leave the barrier and go out to investigate, but this time, we will go. ”

It's not that Shure is arrogant and thinks that he can do what a legendary mage can't do, but that there is an essential difference between the two. The priests are protected by the power of the gods and have a high resistance to curses, and it is difficult for the energy of the curse to affect them. Even if they are exposed to the effects of the cursed metal, they can last several times longer than the others, and it is up to them to go out and investigate.

However, Solarn proves that the danger outside is amazingly high, even if the resistance of the clergy is stronger than others, it may not be able to withstand such a strong curse energy, it is easy to get out, but if you want to come back alive, you can only depend on luck, in this case, it is not appropriate for anyone to take risks.

"I really should have done it again, but not us, but me. Oranna's old voice sounded particularly powerful at this time, "You are all guests of the Temple of Water, and as long as we are not dead, we Water Believers must not let the guests be harmed, otherwise, even if Wendy forgives me, I will not forgive myself." ”

"Moreover, no one here is more healing than me, and even if I really can't fight the cursed energy outside, I can survive a little longer and get a little more information by relying on self-healing. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to go. ”

"Lord Orlana is right, you should go, but I'm going to go with you this time. Xiu'er is very anxious now, whether the problem can be solved as soon as possible is directly related to the two people he cares about the most in this world, he can't hide in the protective shield with peace of mind, sit and wait for the problem to be solved, "Although my healing magic is not as good as yours, among the people present, who else is more specialized in protective magic than me?"

No, Dark Moon is the guardian deity, and her priests specialize in protection and healing, although the priesthood protection skills of gods like Earth Mother or the Lord of the Mountains are no worse than him, but these people are not present, so those powerful legendary priests can only be speechless about Shuer's question.

"Lord Orana, let's get ready and go. "Don't give Orlana a chance to oppose at all, Shure directly continued, "Try not to stay away from the shield after going out, in case it really doesn't work, you can escape back to save your life, this time the task is to find out the situation, as much as possible to perceive the source of the curse energy, in order to confirm whether the threat really comes from the sky, or rather, from the void." So...... Hmm, wait a minute. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Shul suddenly raised his hand and interrupted himself, everyone was waiting to hear what he was saying, but he suddenly lost his mind, and he remained motionless in that position halfway through his movements, staring blankly ahead, as if time had stopped at that moment.

"Don't rush just yet. Orlana waved his hand to stop Saf, who wanted to come forward to check, and frowned for a moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, this is his ...... By the grace of the Lord, he returns to Lord Luna. ”

It was as if Shul was dead, but everyone didn't get her wrong, and it seemed that Lord Luna finally responded, and the response was simple and direct, dragging his consciousness in front of him.

Well, looking at it this way, this guy's guess just now may not be blasphemous.

Shu'er was in a daze this time much longer than the time he had spent in the ashram just now, and everyone felt that they were guarding him on the basis of keeping a certain distance from Shuer. Protected by more than a dozen legendary powerhouses, as long as there are no demigods, then this must be the safest place in the world, even safer than the imperial palace not far away.

"Whew. It took a long time for Shul to breathe a sigh of relief and come to his senses.

"Your Excellency. As soon as he woke up, he heard Oranna's call, "Is it Luna-sama's response?"

"Well, praise be to my Lord, my Lord is all right. It was obvious that Shuer's expression was much more relaxed, but there was a hint of strangeness in the relaxation, as if he had heard something incredibly funny, "The Lord has told me the root of the problem just now, the problem is ...... It's not that it can't be solved. ”

"Then please ask Your Excellency Shul to clear our doubts. ”

"Our previous speculation was fundamentally wrong. "The danger does not come from the sky, but from the ground, and the problems in the sky are only induced. Oh, the name of the Song of Emerald Light, everyone must be familiar with it. ”

The problem is the emerald light?

"Let's explain it from the beginning. Shur muttered for a while, and explained in detail, "The reason my lord did not respond to my prayer in time was because she was doing her duty. ”

"Praise the month of mercy, holy. Of course, Orana knew that the Goddess of the Dark Moon was to use her body to shield Pavadiga from the rain of meteorites from the Void and protect Pavadiga from the Void. Even if you don't know it, you have to protect the world with your divine body, which is the true loveless without words.

"My Lord revealed that this meteorite rain was more troublesome, and it lasted for a long time, and it was not completely resolved until just now. Fortunately, none of them were missed, and unfortunately, the landing point of this meteorite rain happened to be within the range we were in. ”

Huh?

Although there were often meteorite rains in the past, Pavadiga was too big, and it was rare for a meteorite to fall in a densely populated area, and even if it did, she would give priority to solving it, and people in the world often didn't even know that there would be a meteorite in the void, let alone make them believe that they had been targeted by a meteorite once.

"So, does Lord Luna's exploits have anything to do with this incident?"

"Related. Shure nodded, "Maybe it's because of the same source of energy, or maybe it's because of other reasons, when the meteorite rain is close enough to our world, no one thinks that they activate something underground in this area. ”

"Huh?" Several of the priesthood priests in the Emerald Empire's territory looked at each other, and Orlana asked with some hesitation, "Is it the Emerald Light that has been activated?" Moreover, the Emerald Empire has been settled here for thousands of years, bathing in the emerald light every night, but there has never been a problem today. ”

"The emerald light is just a manifestation, and what is activated is something that emits emerald light every day. Shure whispered, "Some kind of machine from the end of the void, maybe even breaking through the spatial barrier and crossing over from other worlds to this side. ”
