56 Imprint Inheritance
"I'm not a believer in a denomination, and I don't even have much contact with a denomination. The priest said.
Confused by these words, Rhodes asked, "Father, you are not a member of the sect, so where did this mark come from?"
"The Sect Seal is magic, and only the high-ranking believers are given the seal, that is, the Ruler. "And this mark is passed down by blood, and its effect lasts for five generations. In the sixth generation, the seal bearer can choose to continue to grant the seal to future generations. ”
In this way, it is explained clearly. Rod nodded: "So, your mark is inherited by blood?"
"That's right. The priest replied, "The sigil has no effect in normal times, until the fog is released, and the bearer of the sigil becomes a monster but still retains his consciousness. I think this is how the sect is trying to build a new order, allowing the seal-bearers to dominate the monsters. ”
Lorne froze at these words, still clenching his back molars. He softened up a little, but still asked sharply: "But why do you know so much about evil gods! Since you are not a believer, how can you be so clear about the sect!"
"Lorne, I didn't know anything until a week before the fog erupted. At that time, I only knew that my ancestors were denomination believers, but I did not know the true face of the sect. And the mark on my back didn't work either, so I didn't care. ”
"But then I found the diary of my ancestors, and there were so many things in it...... And the family name of Renas is mentioned. If there is no miscalculation, it should be exactly the fifth generation to Renas. "So Renus also has a mark." ”
"But how did you know Reynas?" Rod asked further.
"He and Balza were knights of the same period as the Lionheart, and they had a good relationship. And I've seen him. The priest replied.
In this way, the priest should not be lying. Rod put away the salute sword, and Lorne pounded the table angrily, but he was helpless and asked, "Where is that sacrifice now!"
The priest shook his head: "After the fog was lifted, I never heard about him again, and there were no other believers to communicate with. On the day it was polluted, I watched the fog invade the mouths and noses of the townspeople, but nothing could be done. ”
"And after the blood was contaminated, the nuns here begged me in pain to end their lives, but I couldn't do it...... They are also my companions. ”
Lorne glared at Father Tallinn, the anger in his heart gradually subsided. Everyone has precious beings, maybe friends, maybe relatives, and those precious are crushed by the fog.
Maybe it's really me who is too impulsive. After listening to the priest's explanation, I realized that he was not a wicked person, but because the blood source had borne the mark of the sect, which was a fate that could not be chosen.
Lorne suddenly remembered what Yughia had said that night in the White Sails Town Square: "It's fate or not. We can only accept these things that cannot be changed. ”
"What happened to the nuns?" asked Rod.
"Committed suicide. Pierced the chest with a silver blade and died in agony. When I found out later, it was I who found the body in their room. "They had come back from the dead, so I locked them in my room. ”
These words sent chills down everyone's spine. Before entering the dining room, everyone noticed that the wooden doors of the other rooms were locked. But if it wasn't raining, they would have heard a creepy banging on the door.
"The situation is out of control now, and I guess the sect didn't expect it to be so chaotic when the fog was released. The priest whispered, "After all, the Grand Sanctuary of Nokmar is sealed...... It is the main god of the Mist Protoss, Kelthulhu. ”
Rod grinded his back molars and didn't speak. The world is in shambles, and I don't know what else to do. In addition to waiting for the successful development of the purification serum, the only thing that can be done now is to fight a bloody way and return to the royal capital first.
"Come with us, Father. Rod said.
The priest shook his head: "I am the atonement of the sect, a defector, and even if the world is so chaotic, other fanatical believers will come and hunt me down until I die." The sect had a list of members, and I was placed on the black seabed. ”
"I'm going to get you guys in trouble. And the people here need me. "They can still control themselves a little during the day, and it seems that sunlight has a certain inhibitory effect on demon blood. But after dark, it's hard for them to control themselves. ”
Rhodes suddenly realized: "So you want to stay here and ring the bell after dark?"
"Yes. They seem to be more sensitive to the sound of the bells, and I don't know why, maybe it reminds them of a worship or curfew, so they go home and don't come out until daylight. I can't guarantee that without the bell, they won't go berserk. ”
"I see. Rod nodded, "Father, we're leaving before dawn." I'm sorry. ”
"Rhodes Knight. If you have to apologize, apologize for not taking good care of Balza. There seemed to be a hint of sadness in the priest's tone.
Rod was silent and about to speak again, but Lorne stood up and bowed deeply. After a while, he whispered, "I'm sorry, we...... I didn't take good care of Balza. ”
The priest took a deep breath, the red light in his eyes flashing, and black mucus leaked from the corners of his eyes. He wiped it clean with his fingers and shook his head, but said no more.
"Father, we need supplies. Yugshia let us get enough food, and if there was lighting gear, I hope to give us some as well. Rod said.
"There is a lot of food in the church, it is all air-dried and can be stored for a long time. I'll go to the cellar and get it for you, and I have the handlamps for the light, and there are plenty of them, but ...... It is a little difficult to give it to you. The priest said.
"Why?" Rod asked.
The priest walked to the door of the dining room: "Come with me." ”
The five men followed the priest to the left side of the overhead bluestone cloister, along the stone wall lined with locked thickened wooden doors, which looked like penances or prisons if not for the nun's room.
Standing at the door, you can clearly hear the sound in the room, accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door from time to time, which makes people hold their breath.
"Could it be ......" Rod's eyes widened, and the three members of the team also took a few steps back.
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, those lanterns were used by the nuns during their night patrols. If you need it badly, I'll open the door. The priest said, pulling out a key ring.
Rhodes and Lorne stood on the left and right, each drawing the Knight's Sword, the Queen's Blade, while the three of them ducked away. Lorne said, "Please open the door." ”
The copper key is embedded in the keyhole, and the wooden door is wide open.
A foul stench accompanied by a scream.
