Chapter 156: The Secret Cult of the Sun
"I'm sorry, I can't keep up, I throw in the towel. ”
Blue Descartes admits that even with a strong physical foundation and resilience, he can see what the outcome will be if he continues to fight.
Helfras's means were really too strong, and Blue Descartes realized that even if he became the ontology and cracked this method, I am afraid that there would be more means waiting for him in the future. And he is not willing to reveal his true identity to these three people now.
What's more, Blue Descartes sensed the power in Helfras's closed eyes.
He had a feeling...... If Helfras had opened his eyes, he would have been defeated in an instant!
"Since you've thrown in the towel, come with us. ”
Helbflas nodded, then withdrew the power of silence, and the world of Blue Descartes returned to normal.
Slightly startled, Blue Descartes realized that the real Helfras was already standing behind him, even with one of his hands on his heart.
If this is a real battle and not a fight, maybe your heart has been gouged out......
In that case, it will be impossible for you to continue to keep the secrets of the ontology.
At this time, Lan Descartes naturally didn't expect that his secret as an elemental holy beast had actually been seen through by the soul eater dragon UD-286.
"But then again, where are we going? Icourt Valley?"
"Not really. ”
As they left, Iroh answered Blue Descartes' question, and the elemental beast reacted no different from a normal human boy when faced with new things, especially after confirming that Iroh was the lord of the Ikut Valley.
This is not surprising, Lan Descartes's adoptive father is a beneficiary of the Solar Optics Society, and he must have said good things about the Solar Optics Society, the Yanlong Church and himself in normal times, after all, without his own words, all this would not exist.
"We're going to the base of the Esoteric Cult of Sun. Iroh said.
"The Esoteric Cult of Sun?" Blue Descartes wondered.
"Well," Eloh nodded, "You know the Yanlong Church, right? As the parent organization of the Heliographic Society, this church is actually divided into two parts. Part of this is the familiar Church of the Dragon, which is responsible for spreading the faith of the God of the Dragon, and maintaining his followers. ”
And the other part is what I call the Esoteric Religion of the Sun. If the main body of the Yanlong Church is compared to the Book of Evangelism, then the Rir Secret Sect is the sword of the protector. ”
"I see. ”
Blue Descartes nodded thoughtfully.
"The Abyssal Nova is the trump card in the Sun's Esoteric Sect," Iroh continued, "I think your strength is fully qualified to be the future chief of the Abyss Nova, even if there is only one year left in the training of this year's Abyss Nova members. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Helfras couldn't help but tilt his head slightly, obviously Iroh hadn't told him before that he planned to train Blue Descartes as the chief of the Abyss Nova.
By the time the dawn shimmered over the land again, Blue Descartes was standing with Helfras outside an unnamed town northwest of Falkenridge.
"I didn't expect Iroh to value you so much, and without even taking the assessment, he directly put you in the position of the chief candidate of the 'Abyss Nova'. Helbras had taken out a new white cloth and blindfolded him again, and even now there was a hint of wonder in his tone.
At this point, Iroh and UD-286 had gone elsewhere, as they still had some work to do, so Helfras was left with Blue Descartes to the headquarters of the Esoteric Order of Rir on the outskirts of the town - naturally, the inhabitants of this nameless town were also soldiers and killers of the Esoteric Order, in order to cover up the existence of this dark organization.
On the way, Blue Descartes was silent, realizing the gap between himself and the truly powerful, and he was listening carefully to Helfras's explanation of the situation of the Esoteric Cult of the Sun and the Abyssal Nova.
"The Cult of the Sun is essentially part of the Flame Dragon Church, so in order to become a member of the Abyss Nova, you must first join the Flame Dragon Sect. "That is, to believe in the god of the dragon, Ello." ”
Blue Descartes is not too surprised by this, many powerful creatures will ask mortals to serve them in the name of gods, and looking at Elo's appearance, although it is not sure what race he is, Blue Descartes also believes that he will never be human.
For Blue Descartes, it didn't matter who he believed, he had an indifferent attitude in this regard.
"Since you are the chief candidate of the 'Abyss Nova', there are things that need not be hidden from you. As Iroh said earlier, the Flame Dragon Church is divided into two parts. However, the Esoteric Religion of the Sun is actually divided into two parts. Helfras laughed, "The outside is used to train ordinary killers and dead soldiers, such as the people in that town, it is cultivated from the outside. The internal members are all strange people with various extraordinary talents, and there are also a large number of strong people with rich combat experience and enough practice configurations to cultivate top killers for the Yanlong Church. ”
"Speaking of which......" Lan Descartes suddenly remembered something, "It is said that there seems to be a similar organization on the part of the Duchy of Stasi?"
"Iroh told me about it. The Stasi actually stole our experience through spies, but what they stole was only the external experience of the Rir Esoteric Sect, and the internal information was not accessible to even the Grand Imam of the Yanlong Church except for us members of the Tokamak Sect. ”
Helbras shook his head, "What a self-defeating fellow. ”
With that, the two of them had already arrived outside the headquarters of the Esoteric Cult of Sun.
"This is it, right?"
A temple-like building appeared before Blue Descartes' eyes, but instead of being imposing as expected, it looked very ordinary, as if it had been abandoned. Occasionally, someone would come in and out of the temple, and when they caught a glimpse of both of them, they were first alert, then reverent.
The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a statue of a giant dragon on each side of the temple. The dragon on the left is as black as ink, its wings are fully open, and its eyes carved out of blood crystal seem to glow with the death of hell, which makes people shudder, and the dragon on the right is dressed in golden scales, lying gracefully and calmly on the side, and its eyes are carved from sea-blue gemstones, which makes people feel a sense of inner peace.
"Xuan and Huang's Yin Yang Dragon, don't ask me what I mean, that's what Iroh said. Helfras shrugged helplessly, "I only know that they symbolize the inner and outer parts of the Church of the Burning Dragon. Inside the temple is the exterior of the Esoteric Cult of Sun. ”
"Then how should we get inside?" said Lady Descartes, admiring Hellfras's ability to discern orientation without the need for vision in human form, as he admired the two statues.
"Here it is. ”
Instead of entering the temple, he opened a magic circle casually, and Helfras nodded, motioning for Blue Descartes to walk in.
"Because the interior of the Esoteric Cult of the Sun is so secretive, only members of the Tokamaks like me can open the entrance. ”
Blue Descartes didn't hesitate and walked straight in. He saw a flash of white light, his eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time, Helfras's calm voice came from his ears: "Welcome to your home for the next year, please enjoy." ”
It seems to be a vast space underground.
Directly in front of Blue Descartes is a square with weapon racks, wooden stakes, and other practice equipment, and in the square, a shirtless child is fighting with his peers, and any part of their body can be used as a lethal weapon.
From time to time, someone was wounded and fell to the ground, and then he was dragged by the instructor to a rudimentary medical tent outside the square for rough and brutal treatment, and if the doctor shook his head and said that it could not be treated, then his fate was to be "disposed of".
As for what this "processing" means, just think about what this place is.
"Don't worry about them," Helfras was not moved at all in the face of the most primitive and cruel law of the jungle world, "these people are all candidates for the next Abyss Nova. If you want to enter the Abyss Nova, you first need to go through the auditions and preliminary training you see. No matter how many of these people there are, we only need a hundred of them, or less. ”
"After that, these 100 people will undergo more rigorous training and elimination, and those who can survive to the end are the members of the Abyss Nova - of course, your situation is a little special, you don't need to go through the audition, and you can directly fight for the final qualification with the few people who have already been selected. ”
With that, Helfras smiled and patted Blue Descartes on the shoulder, then gave him a push from behind: "It's a bad place, all the negative emotions in people's hearts can be seen here, but you have to get used to it. In the final test of the selection of 'Abyssal Rising Star' in a year's time, I hope to see you crawl out of hell alive. ”
Blue Descartes nodded silently, and then without hesitation, he walked towards the chaotic and bloody Shura field in front of him.
He can't wait to experience this place as cruel as the battlefield!
A few minutes later.
"Has he already gone in?"
Iroh, a young man dressed in gray, appeared silently beside Helfras. It's really just an image, but the latter still bows slightly.
"Well, I was sent in just now, and now I should have started the preliminary training. Helfras replied, "But if you join him temporarily, I don't know how many of the chosen ones will be left in the end." ”
"How many people are left?" a faint smile tugged at the corners of Eloh's mouth, "As long as he joins, it doesn't matter if he is the only one left in this 'Abyss Nova'!"
