When all the oil in the black oil pool turned golden, the four maggot priests let go of the scepter in their hands, moved towards the black oil pool, and then walked into the golden oil, and their bodies were not swallowed and assimilated like sacrifices, but the gold oil under them began to spread upwards along the surface of their bodies, as if it was about to wrap them.

It's just that when the gold oil on the three maggot priests was about to completely wrap them, they stopped and retreated, and the three maggot priests all showed regretful looks on their faces, and then they all turned their heads enviously to look at another colleague who was completely wrapped in gold oil and was gradually turning into cocoons.

In the square, the others couldn't help but cheer when they saw that a maggot priest had successfully cocooned, and then the prayer became louder.

At this time, instead of paying attention to the maggots in front of him as everyone around him, Leo looked up slightly at the statue of the Filthy Mother God who was projecting golden light downwards in the sky.

He found that although the golden light was emitted by the statue of the Mother of Filth projected in the air, the golden light itself was not the power of the Mother of Filth, because he did not feel any resonance in the imprint of the Mother of Filth in his body, and this golden light felt more like the power of the golden giant deer to him.

Leo had seen the golden giant deer patrolling the Black Forest at a very close distance, but at that time he had just turned on his spiritual vision, which was not much better than ordinary people, and he couldn't feel the details of the golden deer's power at all, the only thing that could remain in his mind was the impression that could not be described in words, and the feeling of this golden light projected right now was exactly in line with the impression in his memory.

In the oil pool, when the surface of the maggot's cocoon becomes keratinized, the shape begins to shrink slowly at a visible rate, and there is also a rhizome that resembles an umbilical cord.

As the cocoon shrank to the size of a fist, the rhizome was as small as a hair, and the light on the surface of the cocoon became more and more intense, even reaching the harsh bottom.

It was now a critical moment for everyone around them, and the voices of their prayers were getting louder and louder, and some of them had even fallen into a state of feverish screaming.

The light emitted by the golden cocoon seemed to have reached the limit of the light, and then the rhizome suddenly broke under the impact of a force, and the golden cocoon was also suspended in the air, and then the epidermis was scattered into countless points of light, and at the same time, a golden goblin with transparent wings was suspended in the air, and then quickly rushed to the sky, disappearing in the light of the statue of the Mother of Filth.

The surprise in Leo's heart when he saw the little golden goblin far exceeded that of all the people present, because he had seen this little goblin, which were those little goblins that flew around the golden giant deer and entered the Black Forest from time to time to collect nectar.

To be honest, if Leo hadn't witnessed the complete process of a maggot gradually transforming into a golden goblin, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe that such a beautiful golden goblin turned out to be such a disgusting maggot, and this discovery also made Leo even more curious about what the relationship between this mother of filth and the golden giant deer was? If it weren't for the extremely close relationship, those golden goblins transformed into maggots would never have become the servants of the golden giant deer.

And while Leo pondered the problem, all the people in the square could not hide their excitement, shouting all kinds of slogans in praise of the Mother of Filth, and at the same time, many people who had a normal appearance suddenly seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and some parts of their bodies began to appear clan-like mutations.

Beside Leo and Sylvia, there was also a person who had been stimulated by the outside world and mutated, only to see that his body began to swell, and a bubble-shaped pustule began to bulge on his back, which was filled with black oily substance, and he could also see something swimming in it through the outer skin of the pustule.

Because this person's mutation happened around him, Leo immediately tried to restrain the spiritual net to the first line, trying not to contact other forces around him, and only probing the mutation process in this human body.

Soon he found that this person's mutation was different from the mutation created by the power of the Filthy Mother he thought, and he found that the power of the abyss was actually generated in this person's body, and this abyssal power was also the reason for his mutation, but the Filthy Mother divine power in his body was trying its best to corrode this person with the power of the abyss, which made the mutation in his body always maintain a level that did not harm him.

Ever since he learned about the situation of the Mother of Filth here, Leo has been a little skeptical of the Mother of Filth to clean up the power of the abyss, after all, many of the people he has seen here who have mutated because of the power of the abyss, many of them have energy fluctuations of the power of the abyss, although one power is chaos and the other is order.

But now that he had believed that the Mother of Filth could clean up the power of the abyss, right in front of his eyes, he saw the power of the abyss being transformed little by little into the power of the abyssal of the inheritance order.

As the maggots turned into golden goblins and flew away, the rituals in the square had ended, and the people in the square began to leave in an orderly manner, only some clergy gathered around the edge of the black oil pool and prayed, as if hoping to obtain the favor of the remaining golden power in the black oil pool.

Leo and Sylvia also left the square with the crowd, but they did not return to the hotel, but left the castle directly, and then asked the caravan at the post station outside the city about the location and how to go to Lanxi, and then went directly to Lanxi.

Although there will be some celebrations here after the ritual due to the evolution of the maggot priests, these activities are meaningless for Leo and Sylvia, so it is better to go to Lanxi and see what is so special about this Lanxi.

Instead of walking on their legs, the two bought a carriage for a kinsa, bought some goods from the merchants, changed into the clothes of a local merchant, and disguised themselves as merchants.

Perhaps because the surrounding territories were carrying out rituals, and there were no people on the roads connecting the various realms and castles, the carriage driven by Leo drove on the road.

"Is that golden goblin the kind of goblin you saw back then?" Perhaps thinking that the surroundings were too quiet, Sylvia suddenly found a topic and asked.

"Hmm!" Leo raised the reins in his hand, letting the carriage move a little slower, then thought for a moment and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I'd have found it hard to believe that those golden goblins were actually transformed by maggots." ”

"Do you think the Mother of Filth and the Lord of the Black Forest are the same ......," Sylvia asked again.

Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't think it's possible, because the Lord of the Black Forest doesn't need to find an empty shell puppet to put in front of him, he can stand in front of the stage by himself." As he spoke, he added: "However, their relationship is probably not ordinary, perhaps as subordinate as Bailu." ”

"Affiliation?" Sylvia froze.

Leo then repeated his speculation, "And I suspect that he was involved in the escape of the Luxury Forest from the Black Forest. ”

Sylvia didn't understand Leo's words for a moment, and wondered, "Who is he? Mother of Filth?"

"Hmm!" Leo nodded, "Don't forget that in the Holy Book of the Mother of Filth, it is mentioned that the Mother of Filth has an eternal garden in the Luxury Forest. In addition, the reason why the Luxury Forest broke away from the Black Forest back then was related to the abyssal infestation, and the power of the Mother of Filth had a strong effect on restraining the power of the abyss, which I think should not be a coincidence. ”

Sylvia thought about it when she heard this, nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Leo's guess, but then she asked puzzledly: "Even if this matter is confirmed, what does it have to do with us, it was a long time ago." ”

Leo said in a deep voice: "It's true that there is no direct relationship, but it can't be said that there is no indirect relationship at all, have you ever thought that there is a place in the Black Forest that is connected to the abyss, and the power of the abyss is constantly invading the Black Forest through that place." ”

"How is this possible?" said Sylvia, in disbelief.

"How is it impossible?" Leo asked rhetorically, and then carefully recounted the situation in his body during the mutation process of the family that he had observed during the sacrificial ceremony.

"The mutation in their bodies is caused by the power of the abyss?" Sylvia was stunned, then seemed to think of something, and quickly fell into deep thought, and Leo did not open his mouth to disturb her thoughts, but drove the carriage steadily.

It took a long time for Sylvia to come back from her contemplation, and nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, it is very likely that it was caused by the power of the abyss. ”

"What do you have in mind?" asked Leo.

"No matter how the dependents of the gods mutate, the direction of their mutation is regular and related, and they can form a system of their own, for example, no matter what kind of clan the lord of the sky is, there will be bird-like mutations on the body, and the dependents of the mother of the nest will have the mutation of oviparous terrestrial animals such as snakes and lizards. Sylvia analyzed: "But the mutations of the believers and dependents of the Mother of Filth are disorderly, and there are all kinds of strange mutations, which obviously do not conform to the laws of the mutation of the gods and dependents, but are very similar to the abyssal transformation after being eroded by the power of the abyss." As she spoke, she suddenly turned to Leo and asked, "Do you want to go to the abyss......

Leo shook his head, interrupted Sylvia's words, and said, "I don't have this plan for the time being, but maybe I'll take a look in the future, I feel ...... I feel that if I can solve the secrets of the abyss, I may be able to unlock the secrets of this world. ”

"The secret of the world?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.

It's just that Leo didn't have the idea of talking anymore at the moment, and silently drove the carriage along the road to Lanxi, Sylvia didn't ask again, she felt that Leo would naturally tell her when he wanted to say.

The reason why Leo and Sylvia wanted to visit Lanxi in this place was not only because of the special costume of the Lanxi people that aroused their curiosity, but also because Lanxi's location was not very far from the location where they went to the deer park, and they only needed to take a long detour on the way.

Just like the Lyon Territory, Lanxi City is also located on the border of the Filthy Mother Realm, but unlike the territory here, Lanxi City is not regulated by the Church of the Filthy Mother, and there are no lords and nobles, according to the locals, the people who live in Lanxi City are all descendants of the starry sky gods, and are protected by the gods of the Black Forest, including the Mother of Filth.

It is precisely because of the special nature of the Lanxi people that Lanxi City has become a buffer zone for the realm of the gods of the Black Forest, and if the gods of the Black Forest encounter something that cannot be solved and needs to be discussed, they will send their own church missions to Lanxi City to negotiate.

But the strange thing is that these churches of the Black Forest gods have never established a convenient contact point such as temples and altars in Lanxi City, it is said that this is because the Lanxi people are unwilling to let the Black Forest Church of the Gods establish a station in Lanxi City, and the Lanxi people have not denied this rumor, and the Black Forest Church has not denied it.

It is precisely this kind of acquiescence that makes people in places like Leon Leader believe that the Lancy people are the descendants of the gods, otherwise, with the domineering methods of the church, they will never pay attention to the Lanxi people's intentions, and only those with equal status can be respected by others, even the gods.

When Leo knew that the Lanxi people might be the descendants of the starry sky gods, he immediately thought of the space fleet in his mind, because only in this way could they conform to their statement that they were descendants of the starry sky gods, and the clothes on the Lanxi people mission he saw before also happened to be in line with the laws of the fleet's clothing.

These things about Lancey were told to them by Leo and Sylvia on the road, and Leo and Sylvia kindly let them sit in the empty carriage behind them when they met them.

Along the way, through conversation, Leo learns that these Foot Merchants are not just walking around the territories in the Mother Filth Realm, they are even going to other god realms connected to the Mother Filth Realm, and they are tinkering with various special goods between the several realms.

When asked about Lan Xi, these foot merchants all said that they were definitely the top in the realm of these gods based on their knowledge alone, but even they had to admit that Lan Xi was the most special city they had ever seen.

It's just that when Sylvia asks what is so special about Lanxi that makes them have such a consistent opinion, they can't say a reason, and can only say that when Leo and Sylvia see Lanxi City, they will know why they can't describe Lanxi City's specialness.

As the merchants had said, when their wagon was big enough to see Lanxie, Sylvia was still shocked by the sight of Lansey, because the whole of Lanxie was a complete spaceship.
