"Okay, Doug, just keep it like this! Don't make any moves! They won't dare to do anything until you're identified, just tell them who you are—"

Looking at the tense scene in front of him, Fifian's voice was anxious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Shut up!"

Doug, who was in the center of the pressure, let out a slightly irritable whisper, interrupting the little girl's words: "Hurry up and let me do some magic!"

He can't do magic, but Fifian's experience in fighting people can't compare to Doug, who was born on the street, even if it takes another four hundred years. Usually they may not do it easily, but now these believers are the most fanatical, and they can do anything impulsive under the urging of the power of faith, and if they want to have a chance to speak, they must be made to have scruples!

Fifian didn't pay any attention to his unceremonious tone, turned around and took off the largest magic crystal ring on his hand under the cover of the bodies of the many believers around him, approached the 'Dimensional Matrix Reactor' made like a bracelet, and smashed it without hesitation.

The faint light was sucked into the bracelet as soon as it flickered, and then Doug only felt the Chant of the Pious in his hand tremble slightly, and a polyhedron made of blazing white light completely enveloped his body, and the eyes of the four Golden Temple Guardians changed at the same time, from sharp to bewildered and incredulous.

Divine Magic•Sanin's Asylum?!

“......”

In the distance, Gregory slowly lowered his hands, his childish face was calm and even smiling, but his eyes seemed to slowly light up, and another invisible fluctuation dispersed, and the momentum of the guardians of the Golden Temple immediately retracted, and their posture changed from attack to vigilance.

"Mysterious mage, who are you?"

He opened his mouth softly with a smile, and his clear and childish voice echoed throughout the square. The only person who can use the Radiant Divine Technique is a pious person who is favored by Sanin, but Sanin does not have a second 'apostle' besides himself, and he is very sure that there must be a reason for all this.

No one knows that this 'Sanin's asylum' is actually just a counterfeit...... It is still the 'century of the gods', and there is a firm belief that it is impossible to use divine powers without the most devout believers.

"Alright, now it's time to 'talk'!"

Seeing that the strategy had worked and the other party had obvious concerns, Doug finally breathed a sigh of relief and signaled that Fifian had any tricks to start with.

"Hold on to the momentum, they're just holding off on the move!"

Fifian, who was a clear bystander, could easily see that the four Golden Temple Guardians were only slowing down on the surface, but in fact there was no relaxation.

However, just a little buffer time was enough, the girl had just been keenly aware of the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the arena after the use of this ring that happened to have a pirated version of the Light Divine Magic, and the genius's little head quickly recalled all the novels and biographies about the Cult of Radiance that he had read, and gave up the plan to let Doug move out of the name of the 'Tower of Overlook', and remade up an identity that was enough to escape this catastrophe: "I'll cast a little magic on you now, and then you repeat it according to my pronunciation - remember to do it word for word!" ”

As he spoke, a small auxiliary magic flickered on the aria of the pious, and Doug turned his head in the direction of Gregory, and after a mysterious smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he slowly exhaled a string of melodious syllables, the voice low and long, as if singing, but clear enough for everyone to hear - but most people did not understand what it meant.

There are only two exceptions.

On the steps of the Sanin Chapel, the childish expression on the childish face of the young Great Sage of Light Grigori finally lost for a moment, and shock flashed in his bright eyes, while in a neat and clean little attic in the house next to the square, the dry fingers of an old man with closed eyes groping on the crystal ball suddenly stopped, and he raised his head to listen.

"'Shadow's ...... Dark...... Not from ...... Evil, but because of ...... It loyally ...... Follow ...... The light—'"

The same muttering escaped from their mouths, and after a pause for a second, it turned into an incredulous murmur again—

"He's 'De Kopilivo!?"

......

- 'De Kopiliwo', a Sanin believer that exists only in the most primitive records!

According to the records in the fragment of 'Capacino', the oldest Bible that has long been the top secret of the Cult of the Radiant God, and which only the Great Sage of Light has permission to see, there was a special group of Sanin believers in the ancient past, and their devotion to Sanin was unquestionable, but they were always in the dark and never appeared in front of people, and only when the believers of Sanin suffered great calamity, they would show their true bodies and use all normal or abnormal means to restore Sanin's glory!

They called themselves 'De Kopilivo', and their existence was already a secret at the time, and then it was suddenly erased from the Bible by the Great Sage of Light hundreds of years ago, and now only a very limited number of people know about their existence.

'The darkness of the shadow does not come from evil, but because it faithfully follows the light' - this sentence is written in the ancient 'Anshte' script on the title page of the chapter 'Light and Shadow' in the 'Capercino' fragment, and for hundreds of years only the great sages of light had the right to read it--so it seems difficult to pretend to be such a being?......

Gregory thought quickly, his face had already returned to normal, a very friendly smile was once again on his childish face, and he bowed his head slightly in the surprise of many believers and saluted Doug, after the invisible light flickered, the four Golden Temple Guardians who had received the latest instructions put away their guards, saluted neatly, and then their whole bodies lit up with bright light, and slowly approached Doug.

"Fifian, what did you say, what do they want to do?"

Although he instinctively felt that the hostility of the Golden Temple guardians around him had subsided, Doug remained on guard and quietly questioned Fifian. It seemed that after he uttered the code-like words, the attitude of the men suddenly changed.

"They're asking you to come with them - only a group of secret fanatics in the Cult of Radiance called 'De Kopilivo' will know about that, so now they're taking you as such for the time being!"

Fifian's petite figure was hidden in the crowd, her big clear eyes were calm and composed, and she closely observed the situation under the cover of the crowd: "Remember to be silent and mysterious, and ignore no one - you have enough equipment to protect you, and in case the situation is really critical, I can also rescue you through the teleportation function of the 'Pattern of Restraint'!"

“...... Are you sure?"

Doug inhaled deeply, calming his mind with regular breathing. Now that it's happened, it's important to suppress your anger and other bad emotions so that you don't make mistakes, settle accounts, and wait until it's safe to do so: "There's no other way, don't forget that if I'm done, you won't survive!"

After the fierce murderous aura of the Templar Guardians had subsided, Lilu and the other two magic apprentices finally relented, gasping for air, but still pale and trembling limbs, and if it weren't for Sanin's Gift to help them recover, they would probably not be able to stand at all by now - but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, because of the reason they stood with Doug, the Golden Guardians clearly expressed their intention to take them with them.

"I also value my life. ”

As if sensing Doug's hidden annoyance, Fifian's voice softened: "I'm sorry, it's true that I caused trouble this time, but now this identity can better explain why the radiant magic just now didn't approach you...... I'll make it up to you in the future, like adding a little more prayer time, nourishing the power of your faith, or something?"

"Let's talk about this kind of thing......"

After listening to Fifian's apology, Doug felt a little more comfortable in his heart: "The problem is that I don't know anything about this 'what', how will I answer if they ask?"

"It's 'De Kopilivo' - don't worry, my communication device uses much more advanced technology than this era, not only is it very far away, but at this stage it is only possible to detect it by specialized magic arts...... So go with them, and I'll guide you behind the scenes!"

Fifian replied quickly. Time is pressing, and the four Golden Temple Guardians have been waiting for a short time, and if they don't move, they will arouse suspicion!

As she spoke, she had already skillfully written a few magic patterns on her little hand, and when she saw the prayer of the Pious in Doug's hand flicker, he and the three magic apprentices beside him levitated, causing the surrounding crowd to let out a low cry of surprise.

"Your Excellency, please come with me!"

The four Golden Temple Guardians turned a blind eye to this, and seeing that the target was ready to act, the eldest one took a half-step forward and saluted, and flew towards the Sanin Great Sanctuary with a light fighting spirit, Fifian's little hand was busy in the dark for a while, and the bodies of the four Doug flew towards the same place after a slight shock.

Is it really okay?

Doug's guard did not relax in the slightest, a pair of sharp eyes hidden under the mask, always keeping an eye on the guardians of the Golden Sanctuary around him, but nothing happened after a short distance of a few hundred meters, only the smile on Gregory's shy and childish face in front of the white steps of the Sanctuary was getting closer and closer.

"Welcome, mighty mage, and may the brilliance of Sanin always be by your side. ”

He also greeted Doug gently in a tender voice, which touched on the core secrets of the sect, so he omitted the title, and then turned to face Anagu II: "Your Majesty Anagu, the Light Stone has been prepared for you, please preside over the opening of the ceremony-" His gaze turned to Doug again: "Master, please come with me." ”

Doug just nodded silently according to Fifian's instructions, and his eyes involuntarily moved to Anagu II, who was standing solemnly next to him - the spirited, bright-eyed Anagu II looked as young as a middle-aged man, and although he was wearing a ceremonial dress today, he still leaned towards the style of the army, with broad shoulders and sharp lines, which set off the majesty and heroism of this emperor who was at the peak of his political life.

However, Doug always felt that the emperor's face was very wrong, although there seemed to be no problem at rough, and it was calm, but on closer inspection, it always made people feel that the calm was a little gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of gray...... Could it be that this mighty and powerful man already had a subconscious premonition that he was about to come to the end of his life on the most glorious day of his life?

Doug couldn't help but feel a little weird, then shook his head, threw away the sudden emotion, quickly returned to a state of full vigilance, and followed Gregory into the holy and solemn Sanin Chapel.

The Sanin Chapel in Xi'an is the oldest of the temples dedicated to Sanin, except for the Temple of Radiance, and its main body is a whole frame composed of twelve extremely rare pure white magic stone pillars, each pillar can only be hugged by two people, polished to be incomparably smooth and bright, the huge height makes the temple appear magnificent, and the large number of exquisite sculptures and murals make it resplendent and beautiful.

There is no idol of the Sanin, and the worshippers worship a light in the center of the sanctuary, which shines down the elaborate dome, scattered downward by the cleverly designed water-filled 'holy pool' to illuminate the sanctuary, and upwards to the sky.

As Fifian had instructed, Doug did not salute the light, but walked silently towards the radiant pool.

The edge of the sacred pool is made of the expensive hard metal 'Starlight Silver', which has been smooth like a mercury mirror for hundreds of years under the caress of the saints during their prayers. After Doug stepped forward in silence and pressed a dozen patterns in the center in turn, as Fifian commanded, the water in the holy pool suddenly rippled, and then the whole holy pool rose about two fingers high, revealing a groove under the original edge, and in the sanctuary, which had no shadows, because of the change in the position of the holy pool, seven very conspicuous shadows suddenly appeared on the ground, arranged in a regular pattern - it was obvious that this was a careful design, not accidental.

Gregory watched quietly, the expression on his childish face unchanged. If Doug had doubts when he entered the Sanctuary, he was now one step closer to fully believing in the identity of the man in front of him - the secret of this holy pool was unknown even to him, the Great Sage of Light, and the person in front of him must have been in close contact with them, if not 'De Kopiliwo', but also someone with whom he had a very close connection, otherwise the matter would be inexplicable.

The groove was filled with metal dust accumulated by the caress of the believers, and the light shimmered in the shadows of the groove. Doug reached out and pinched a little, strolled to a shadow on the ground, and gently sprinkled it, and the old voice began to chant in a low voice:

"O you pray for the light,

We are silent in the shadows;

Praise the light,

We are silent in the shadows;

You have that light,

We are still silent;

And when we are no longer silent,

We

And he became the light!—"

I didn't think I had the potential to become a bard...... The thought that could not help but pop up in the heart of D, who was singing loudly. F's voice stopped coming, and the chanting stopped abruptly.

Gregory, who was listening intently, shuddered slightly, and then his expression returned to normal, and he kept a faint smile as Doug slowly sprinkled the shiny metal dust over the six shadows in turn, and then stood on the last shadow.

...... What does this mean?'

Gregory's eyebrows, which were more delicate than the girl's, leaned slightly. Is there only one left in front of 'De Kopilivo'?

"Darkness is about to spread, and I have come to sow the seeds of light. After a moment of silence, Doug's voice echoed deep through the Sanctuary, interrupting Gregory's thoughts.

The Great Sage's childish face moved slightly, and his eyes instantly brightened as if burning.
