166 The Sacred Mountain (I)
Although the story has been revolving around the Sanin Cathedral in Xi'an, the capital of the Wright Empire, in fact, Sanin's highest 'agency' in the world is actually the ultra-luxurious cathedral of the Radiance Temple, which has stood on the sacred mountain 'Da@Hara' for thousands of years, and is jointly presided over by the four elders of South, Northent, East, and Radzt. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since the followers of Sanin acquired the sacred mountain 'Da@Hara' in the hands of the followers of Sanin in the last Eternal Sleep War, this majestic church or palace has begun its long construction period, and the believers of Sanin have spent 700 years building the Palace of Glory in the center and the surrounding Palace of Shine. The magnificent complex of six small palaces, including the Palace of Refraction, has transformed the entire sacred mountain into a huge magic array, and the scorching holy light envelops the place almost all day, and the pillar of light in the center that leads to the end of the sky is even more majestic and magnificent, and you can't help but want to bow down and worship.
There are almost no defense forces here, after all, as Sanin's highest temple in the world, there are a large number of high-ranking light priests gathered here all year round, not to mention that it also represents Sanin's face among believers, as long as he doesn't go crazy, no one or god will come to attack here - Sanin is famous for his stinky temper, and no one wants to be contaminated by his anger, whether it is a human or a god.
Therefore, when Doug quietly appeared in the crevice of a small mountain near St. Shanda@Hara with a meatball five times the size of him in his hand, no one noticed anything unusual.
"Huh?"
Meatball, who had been summoned directly by Doug, made a confused sound. It was covered in foam from its furry body, carried a huge brush in its paws, and had a ridiculously large bath towel around its waist down, as if it had been taking a shower before.
"Don't make a sound. ”
Even if he was far away from the target, the cautious Doug unceremoniously increased the force in his hand to prevent the fat rabbit in his hand from making a sound, and at the same time lowered his body and watched the surroundings vigilantly, and after a moment, he nodded with satisfaction, straightened up a little and turned his head to face the meatball, and gave a low order: "Wait a minute, you rush in for me, all the people who can be knocked down, all the things that can be broken, in short, the more chaotic, the better-understand?"
"Hmm?...... Not...... Not?!...... Woowoo !!!!"
The meatball, which was pinched on the back of his neck, first glanced at the building that the owner was pointing to casually, and said that he understood; then he felt that there was something wrong with the scene in front of him, and subconsciously made a puzzled sound; After the transformation, the guy whose intelligence has greatly improved understands what the huge building complex in front of him is, and immediately let out a miserable wail, his huge head swings wildly, and his two powerful hind legs are desperately kicking the air to escape from here, but he only makes the big bath towel fall off, revealing a huge fat buttocks.
Just kidding, if such a 'poor and thin little rabbit' dares to break into the lair of Sanin, the Lord of Radiance, and go wild, I am afraid that it will soon be turned into a rotten roasted rabbit by countless brilliant holy lights!
Of course, Doug would not let it get his wish, his brows furrowed slightly, and his other hand unceremoniously knocked on the three-petal mouth of the meatball, interrupting its wailing fiercely, and did not say a word of nonsense, just stared at its little red eyes fiercely, and the cold eyes revealed obvious information: obey orders, or die here?
"Whew...... Oooh~"
Meatball shuddered at the unsympathetic gaze, and then wasted no time in thinking about the comparison, and the frightened growl soon obediently turned into a flattering whisper, and the huge body stopped struggling, and hung down obediently, even trying to straighten its neck, which was not much longer at all, so that Doug could carry it more easily.
"Don't worry, it's not for you to die. ”
Doug nodded with satisfaction from the fat rabbit's series of obedient small movements, and his gaze softened a little: "I'll go with you too!" I'll deal with the tricky enemies, and your task is to try to make trouble, you don't need to fight those guys, as long as you don't fight against those old monsters, your second-stage transformation can completely save your life, but if you fail to complete the task of attracting the enemy's attention, then you don't have to worry about life and death in the future...... Got it?"
"Woooooooooo
Meatballs nodded vigorously. Hearing that Doug was going to go in with him, the rabbit finally figured out that he was not thrown to die, and immediately breathed a great sigh of relief, and even the brush in his hand fell to the ground.
"Good...... Go ahead. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Doug's mouth, and he let go of the hand that was pinching the neck of the meatball.
"Whew!"
After landing on the ground, the meatball roared quietly twice as if it had expressed its determination, and its expression also revealed a very vicious expression, but then it threw its huge body to the ground, and its two thick hind legs clamped its ass tightly, and crawled towards the huge temple in the distance.
“......”
Doug stared speechlessly at the fat ass looming among the grass and trees, not knowing what to say about the performance of this 'subordinate', shook his head and withdrew his gaze from the huge body, looking at the brilliant holy light in the distance, his expression gradually becoming indifferent.
"Ruler of the One Truth, Lord of Conservation, Lord of All Things, ...... of the Eternal Truth"
He closed his eyes and whispered a prayer as he tried his best to suppress the cyan glow, and a moment later several large silhouetted black shadows suddenly appeared around him, and then these black shadows gradually became clear, and finally changed into the appearance of the meatball that had just left.
Isn't it working?
Doug opened his eyes in satisfaction and looked at the realistic clones he had made, and with a slight wave of his hand, these guys, who looked very strong but had extremely limited actual energy, fell neatly to the ground, and quietly touched each of them towards a palace with almost the same lewd movements as the original meatballs.
"Cause chaos, golems. ”
A chill flashed in Doug's eyes: "The better you do, the more likely your prototype is to survive." ”
He whispered to himself as he cast his gaze into the distant air. What he said to Meatball just now is just a lie, the Temple of Radiance and the Sanin Great Sanctuary are not the same level of things, he will never personally enter Sanin's lair in the world to take risks, and the role of Meatball is only to create chaos to the maximum extent and attract the attention of the enemy, but the real killing move is slowly brewing in the boundless void at this time.
As an artificial demonic beast that has surpassed the current design concept for more than 400 years, and the 'Elemental Master' Rabina personally participated in the design, the meatballs after opening the second form of the martial arts beast have the strength of the dragon, and even once caused Linax to fall into a passive complete defense, which is enough to cause a lot of trouble for the Temple of Radiance, and when the people in the Temple of Radiance are dealing with the enemies who suddenly break in, a battle that consumes Doug's huge energy reserves summons, A giant rain of meteorites that have been largely obscured will suddenly appear in the sky above Holy Shanda@Hara, and the special magical structures covering the meteorite will absorb the defensive energy of the Temple of Radiance, destroying everything on the ground by surprise, including the main targets of this trip, the old guys who should have gone to the grave a long time ago.
In fact, it was the night of the gods' arrival and the explosion of the gods who came as meteors inspired him.
While imagining the apocalyptic scene in his mind, Doug stared at the splendid complex in front of him, and after a moment of silence, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face for some reason, and then as if he had made up his mind, his eyes narrowed, and the figure suddenly disappeared from the place.
...... What about the Temple of Radiance...... I remember that it was a frequent character in bedtime stories when I was a child, and of course it was a glorified version.
Doug's body flickered cautiously in the distorted space, gradually approaching the 'Palace of Glory' where the brilliant light shot out from the very center, looking at this place that he once considered extremely sacred, the memories of the past in his mind suddenly became extremely clear.
I remember when he was a child, he often played the role of 'Divine Radiance Warrior who defeated the bad guys' in games, and he used to be full of awe and yearning for the sacred place in front of him, but when he grew up, the pressure of survival made him no longer have time to dream of those teenagers, and the reality also made him understand that with his identity, unless a miracle happened, he would not be qualified to set foot on the dirt of Da@Hara in this life......
And now, a miracle has happened.
"Hey......
Doug stopped his movements, looked at the faint glow of the dirt beneath his feet, and smiled strangely that he didn't understand. What he is stepping on now without caring is the sacred soil that haunted his dreams at the beginning, but it is a pity that he is no longer the original low-level little person who struggles in the dark, and even has to turn this magnificent palace into a hell of blood and fire with his own hands!
So he hesitated a little at first, but finally decided to see the place that he had reverently remembered with his own eyes in the nearest place as a souvenir for the future - of course, the so-called 'nearest place' was nearly a kilometer away, and even if he was thrilled by the sudden attack of the old boy's complex, the god of conservation would never put himself in danger.
Farewell, then, Temple of Radiance.
After contemplating the complex full of grandeur and divine beauty for a few minutes, Doug restrained the smile on his face, and intently felt the battle situation on Linax's side and the speed of the meteorite swarm in the sky, and then began to move backwards, preparing to return to his place to monitor the rain of heavenly fire that was about to occur.
Well?!
A strange slight fluctuation passed through his perception, causing Doug to stop abruptly, and a look of surprise could not be suppressed on his face, and even his body almost forgot to hide it.
How is this possible......
He turned around with great astonishment, pressed his body to the ground, listened attentively with all his attention, and after a full minute, he finally determined that the whispering echoing in his ears was not his hallucination, but indeed someone was praying to his own god of conservation—but as the god receiving the prayer, he clearly felt that this prayer came clearly from the inside of the glorious temple of glory in front of him!
What's going on?!!
Doug's thick eyebrows furrowed silently.
......
......
The bright exterior is not necessarily something to be worshipped, as countless nobles and high-ranking people have come forward to prove, and even the Temple of Radiance, which has always claimed to be sacred and undesecrated, has secrets that must not be revealed to outsiders, such as the dark secret room that Jocco @Lutwen is cleaning.
Countless broken flesh and blood were piled up in the ravines left by the floor, the walls of the secret room were carved with strange runes, in the center of the huge magic array, on the flat stone platform, a broken and cold body lay there quietly, the lifeless skin was shrouded in the cold cold air created by the magic array, the intact skin exuded a faint divine light from time to time, the flesh and blood of the mutilated parts were corrupt gray-black, the huge wings spread out on the table, the color of the feathers was dead and pale, and the surrounding shelves were full of various magical materials, many of which were bloody organs and stumps, some were still pulsating slightly, as if they were still alive。
“...... It's uncomfortable. ”
Qiao Ke @ Lutwen leaned over and dragged the big mop in his hand vigorously to sweep the blood and some suspicious pieces on the ground into the ditch, while panting and whispering to himself, looking no different from usual, but if someone closes close to his face, they will find that his usually desperate and empty eyes are extremely bright at the moment, and from time to time a hairy light is revealed.
With his hard work and talent, he rose from a village priest to a position in the Temple of Radiance at the age of twenty-three, and was even rumored to be a member of the next Presbyterian Church, one of the most powerful people on the continent.
- But everything changed that night.
The footsteps disappeared into the distance, indicating that the last person had also left, and Joco @Lutwin let go of the mop, wiped it on his dirty, tattered robe, and looked up.
The sweat in his palms did not come from exertion, but like his slightly trembling fingers, it was affected by his mood.
"Wait...... You guys ......."
He continued to whisper to himself, brushing his hair through his black dirt-stained nails. At just over forty years old, he was already gray-haired, and his body was as stiff as an old man, and no one could connect him with the high-spirited young pastor of the past...... All this was due to that night.
"If only I were blind. ”
Qiao Ke @ Luthwen muttered, and began to tidy up the robe that had rotted into strips of cloth on his body, trying his best to be solemn. If he hadn't stumbled upon such a sight that night, he would not have been imprisoned here as a desperate prisoner, and he had gritted his teeth to survive until now on the belief of revenge.
Now that he has finally found hope for revenge, he needs to endure it any longer.
After arranging the robes on his body, Qiao Ke @ Lutwen straightened his body as best and strode towards the center of the room.
"It is ironic that filthy flesh and filthy evil magic can give birth to the holy son of worship, and the destruction of all unclean brilliance becomes the instrument of desire...... Sanin, where are your eyes looking?"
His bright eyes stared at the broken body in the center of the room, calling the name of the Lord God without respect, his teeth making a small sound of clenching hard, it took a long time to calm the excitement in his heart, he took a deep breath and walked to the shelf used to store experimental materials in the secret room, his trembling arm was raised, and a cloud of white light slowly condensed in his palm, faint but full of holy breath.
"You can't imagine that from the wailing flesh and resentful soul of mortals, you can also get the power of radiance!"
He muttered to himself with a strange smile, the light in his hand sent forward, and as he gasped hard, a metal box on the shelf that looked like a container slowly turned, which was just a matter of casual finger movement for those priests with mana, but it made Joco @ Lutwen do his best, and fine sweat soon covered his forehead.
However, in the end, the seal of the box was successfully opened, and the glimmer of light that Joco @Luthwin had painstakingly collected from the souls of the victims who were used as 'materials' for several years was also depleted, and the whole person seemed to be even more aging.
"Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't...... Who knows. ”
Qiao Ke, who had developed the habit of talking to himself during his long life as a prisoner, muttered in a low voice as he carefully took out a clear blood-colored crystal prism from the box: "In any case, it won't be worse than now......"
Deprived of all abilities, he has been imprisoned like an animal in this bloody and rancid chamber for more than ten years, and he no longer cares about anything. It's good that this plan works, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter to him...... He thought wildly as he took the blood-colored prism in his hand and staggered towards the stone platform in the center of the chamber.
The prism was irregularly shaped, and the color was uneven, as if a bloody crimson was spreading in the crystal, showing a strange beauty, and from time to time a blurred face emerged from the crimson, let out a silent wail, and then quickly disappeared - this is the famous forbidden soul crystal, which can imprison a soul and become a pitiful existence between life and death.
"So, let's get started. ”
Qiao Ke @ Lutwen checked it one last time, and after making sure that everything was fine, he knelt down in front of the table where the remnants were placed with the forbidden soul crystal in his hand, and began to slowly whisper with an irrepressible excitement:
"Unknown being, mighty god Dougosriu, please hear the prayer of a humble soul, accept my sacrifice, and grant my wishes—"
There are many gods in this world, some revered and some unknown, and the intricate and ornate prayer rituals that are now performed in the temples did not exist in the first place, and in the distant centuries, intelligent beings who were not aware of the abilities of those gods could still use ancient and primitive sacrificial rituals to establish contact with the gods, requiring only three elements: the god's name, the medium, and the sacrifice.
Now that the souls of the sleeping prisoners captured by the Inquisitors, the names of the gods they have obtained from the torture of souls, and the remnants of an angel born from the divine power of Sanin in front of them - the elements of the primitive sacrificial ritual are all in place, and it is up to the unknown god 'Dougosriu' to accept his prayers.
The muttering Qiao Ke let go of all distractions and prayed wholeheartedly. There is still a lot of hope for success, and since Doug @ Siriu is against Sanin, he will definitely be interested in the rebellion of his former Sanin priest, and what he is asking for is not a difficult wish, just to tell the world about the evil in this secret room, and I think this strange god should be very happy to spread negative news about Sanin......
"Unknown being, mighty god Dougosriu, listen—uh!"
Joco@Lutwin's voice stopped abruptly at some point, and then a will pierced his soul like a blade:
- My name is Doug @ Sleu. ”
The voice from the darkness was very low, as if the god was trying his best to keep his voice down and whisper: "Here accept your sacrifice and fulfill your wishes!"
