Chapter 858: Church of Tranquility
"I'm afraid there's something in trouble!" Sylvia made sure that the religious badge on the fireplace wall was indeed a Tranquility Badge, and the look of seriousness on her face became even more intense, and there was a hint of concern.
"You seem to be worried about the Church of Tranquility?" Leo looked at Sylvia's expression and asked suspiciously, "Isn't the Church of Tranquility the Church of the True God of the Orthodox Church? Although you are no longer the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church, you shouldn't worry so much about them, right? I don't think the Church of Tranquility has a habit of hunting witches in my memory. ”
"If it was the previous Tranquility Church, of course I wouldn't be so worried, but the current Tranquility Church ......" Sylvia's serious look on her face did not weaken, she shook her head, and said, "The current Tranquility Church is not a Tranquility Church at all. ”
Hearing Sylvia's somewhat tongue-twisting explanations, Leo and Tessa Mocha on the side were even more puzzled.
Seeing this, Sylvia carefully explained: "The tranquility of all things has long since disappeared, and he is the first true god to disappear from the world of Velon. More than 100 years ago, at the Eleventh Orthodox Conference on the Revision of the Code of the True God, the Pope of the Three Churches, the Lord of the Heavens, the King of the Hills, and the Lord of All Life and Death, confirmed that the tranquility of all things had completely fallen. When the Orthodox Church was about to dissolve the Tranquility Church, the senior clergy of the Tranquility Church said that they had always been able to listen to the voice of the Serenity of all things and refused to dissolve the Church, and the conflict arose. There is no record of what happened to the Orthodox Church, but the result is that the name of the Tranquil Church has been erased from the True God Scriptures, and the Tranquil Church has been purged, and the Orthodox Church has defined the Tranquil Church as a cult, but none of this information has been made public. ”
Tessa Mocha said disapprovingly, "What does the cult have to do with it? We only stayed here for two days, checked the situation of the ice bridge, and then left. ”
"You don't understand. Sylvia shook her head and said: "The current Tranquility Church doesn't know which evil god it believes in, they have a strong appeal and spread, as long as there is one member of the Tranquility Church in a village, then in less than a month, everyone in the entire village will become a member of the Tranquility Church." In the records of the Orthodox Church, several deep mountain towns in countries such as Fran, Mares, and Sigma were exterminated for this reason, and tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded. As she spoke, she looked at the badge on the wall and said, "I'm afraid that the people in this small town of Taniko have become believers in the Church of Tranquility now." ”
"In that case, what are you going to do? kill them all?" asked Leo calmly.
"Of course not, I'm not a judge right now...... Even if I was a judge, I wouldn't, let alone be able to do that. This kind of thing should be handled by the authorities of Dyyat!" Sylvie shook his head, and added solemnly: "But we had better take precautions, you must know that the doctrine of the Tranquility Church has a large number of sacrifices, although those teachings sacrifice some food and animals, but who can guarantee that after becoming a cult, they will not treat people as sacrifices." ”
Leo nodded, didn't say anything, walked directly to the outside of the house and arranged a few rune traps around the house that could cover the entire perimeter of the house, he didn't hide his actions, and the local in the villa's doorman's hut also saw Leo's movements, but he didn't see any clues, he just thought that Leo was checking the condition of the villa.
After returning to the house, Sylvia and Tessa Mocha had already prepared the supplies and luggage for crossing the ice bridge, and moved them to the living room next to the hall, and then the three of them went upstairs, picked a room, cleaned it up a little, lit the fireplace, took out some food and heated it, and went their separate ways.
Sylvia has been familiar with her bloodline power lately, and if there is only one bloodline power, she should be able to master the technique quickly, but the problem is that she has two powerful abyssal existence powers in her body, and it will take a long time to practice if she wants to skillfully switch between the two powers and use them at the same time.
As for Tessa Mocha, she behaves a little strangely, she will find some seeds, hold them in her hands, and say something completely incomprehensible to the seeds until they germinate.
This is supposed to be a training method for her own strength, because just these days, the wavelength of the energy fluctuations in her body is greater and the frequency is lower, and the temperament on her body has become more mysterious and impossible to describe in words.
Compared to the two witches who were diligently familiarizing themselves with their powers, Leo was obviously much more leisurely, and what he had been doing these days was to go through all the wizarding notes on his body and organize his wizarding knowledge so that it could be integrated into the psionic system.
And so the time passed quickly, and it was getting dark, and in the evening the mayor sent some hot food.
However, Tessa Mocha easily discovered some herbs from the food, these herbs are not poisons, but a calming herb, which can help people sleep better, and is a common herb used by Velon's scholars.
Tessa Mocha directly questioned the attendant who brought the food at that time why he put calming herbs in the food.
In response to Tessa Mocha's questioning, the attendant seemed very calm, saying that all the scholars who had just come here in the past would have restlessness and insomnia at night, so in order to take care of the scholars' daily life, the mayor used the town's funds to buy a large number of calming herbs for the scholars to use, and the new scholars would also add a little calming herbs to their food to help the newcomers adapt to the harsh environment here.
After the explanation, the attendant asked Leo if they had any other instructions, and after receiving a negative answer, he turned and left the cottage, the whole time in a very natural manner, without any unusual circumstances.
"What do you think?" said Tessa Mocha, looking at the food on the table.
His heart beat a lot faster when he was questioned, but he tried his best to hide it, and casually gave a perfect explanation, and it seemed that he had come prepared. Sylvia looked through the window and watched as the person greeted the staff of the town hall at the door, left the villa, and said, "The Tranquility Herb should be related to some ritual of the Tranquility Church, we ......"
Sylvia was about to propose to throw the food away and eat the food she had brought, but saw Leo unconcerned about eating the obviously tampering food on the table.
"What are you doing?" asked Sylvia immediately.
"Eat!" Leo replied calmly.
Sylvia gave Leo an angry look and said, "I'm asking you what you're trying to do, why are you eating this food that has obviously been manipulated?"
Leo replied simply, "I want to know what kind of follow-up they have after doing these tricks." ”
When Sylvia heard this, she realized that Leo wanted to take this opportunity to find out what the hell was going on in the town, so as not to be suspicious during the two days she spent here.
Seeing this, Sylvia also picked up a piece of pastry and prepared to eat it, but was stopped by Leo, who said that she could do it alone, and if something else happened, she and Tessa Mocha would have a chance to redeem it.
Sylvia nodded, and watched as Leo wiped out the food on the table.
After eating, Leo sat down by the fireplace again, reading the book, and after a while, the effects of the calming herbs began to appear, and he felt a wave of exhaustion and drowsiness after being able to sleep for a long time, and he did not resist this feeling but followed the feeling and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Leo suddenly came to his senses, opened his eyes and looked around, only to see that the surroundings were no longer the stove of the villa, but in a golden rice field with no edge in sight, the rice in the field was half a human high, the rice ears bent the rice stalks, drooping downward, the sun sprinkled down from a distance, sprinkled in the rice field, reflecting bursts of golden light, enveloping Leo in it, so that he felt very relaxed standing in the rice field.
"That's pretty real!" Leo said with a smile as he reached out and grabbed an ear of rice beside him, rubbed it, and saw the rice spilling from his fingers, feeling the sensation in his hand.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge figure appeared in the sky, covering all the surrounding sunlight.
That figure was a giant, a giant whose head was wrapped in clouds was huge enough to rival the Guha giant that Leo had seen, although the other party's head was covered by clouds, Leo could still feel the other party's gaze falling on him, and along with the gaze falling on his body, there was also a life suppression from a higher life form.
After feeling this life suppression, Leo quickly made a judgment that the other party's life form should be equivalent to a psionic person of about the eighth level, which is stronger than Leah Vinistan, but the gap is not very large, but it is somewhat similar to the True Eye that Leo has encountered, and it is still much worse than the level of an omega-level advanced lifeform, otherwise, now Leo is not standing in the rice field, but kneeling on the ground.
The giant saw that Leo did not make any desired movements, nor did he feel any unusual emotions, such as fear, panic, fear, etc., which made him feel a little annoyed, and let out a cold snort like thunder, then crouched down and reached out to grab Leo.
As the giant crouched down, Leo could see the giant's face, which did not have any normal facial features, only a hole with a glow in the middle of the hole, and tentacles around the hole.
Leo didn't seem panicked in the face of the falling giant's palm, although most of his power could not be used here, there was one power that could be used normally, and it was far more powerful than usual, and this power was the power of nightmares.
So when the giant's palm fell, he instantly activated the nightmare power in his body, and images came to his mind, including the battle between the Guha giant and the Wycombe Abbey warship, and the scene of the stone throne.
Almost as the pattern came to mind, his figure disappeared from under the giant's palm, and his sudden disappearance surprised the giant.
Just as the giant was about to stand up to find Leo's whereabouts, a palm larger than the giant fell from the sky and slapped directly on the giant's body, slapping him to the ground like a fly.
The giant was visibly enraged, and quickly got up from the ground and looked up to see what was attacking him, but instead of a much larger giant, he saw a huge stone throne suspended in the air, and around the stone throne stood huge stone pillars.
An incomparably powerful force poured out of the stone throne and landed on the giant, pressing the giant to the ground again, and at the same time, the giant pythons wrapped around the stone pillar also raised their bodies, their bodies extended indefinitely, and rushed towards the giant, as if they wanted to entangle the giant and drag it to the stone throne.
In the face of this situation, the faceless giant, which had been incomparably majestic just now, was completely frightened, and its huge body shrank instantly, and finally the painting was a point of light and disappeared.
At the same time, the stone throne in the sky also disappeared, and Leo, who had just disappeared from the rice field, reappeared in the place just now, but at this moment his face was a little unpleasant, obviously while transforming the stone throne, he also had to bear the same impact.
However, he quickly recovered, looked at the location where the giant had disappeared, smiled contemptuously, and said, "He actually ran to my spiritual world, he really wanted to die!"
When his words fell, his body quickly dissipated and disappeared from this rice field world.
"What happened to you?" asked Sylvia, who was looking nervously at her when Leo woke up.
"Did I have anything unusual just now?" Leo asked.
Sylvia nodded and said, "There is a very terrifying and powerful power suddenly coming out of you, even more powerful than the divine power I felt in the Orthodox Court. ”
Leo said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that I met the evil god who now controls the Church of Tranquility, and I just made a little counterattack." ”
Sylvia was stunned and asked, "You ...... that feeding just now?"
Leo nodded, and added: "It's just momentum, it's okay to scare people, don't think about anything else." As he spoke, he recalled the giant he had seen in the spirit world and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know of any evil god who appears in the eyes of others as a faceless giant?"
"Faceling?" Sylvia froze.
Leo said carefully: "It's just that there is a huge hole in the face, there are no facial features, only ......"
"A ball of light. Before Leo could finish speaking, Sylvia added.
