Chapter I

Due to the cumbersome requirements, the altar of the Church of the Void Masquerade was built on a relatively remote vacant lot, and there were no other buildings within about a kilometer of it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe closest thing to it is a small outpost.

On the lookout on the top of the outpost, three dragons in human form were gazing in the direction of the altar, paying attention to the prayers.

"What the hell, a small church with less than a hundred people actually has three legendary powerhouses in charge!"

"Actually, this is very understandable, if you are close to the strong, you will naturally be affected. ”

Snowflake looked over there with a smile, and casually used the frost to form a small blackboard, drew a ball of light on it, and then radiated a circle of people around it, so that the top of the head of the person closest to it also glowed.

"Then why are I and Hail not strong enough?"

Hearing his name, Hail, who had been groggy and half-asleep, looked around with sleepy eyes, and didn't see anything special, so he leaned on Xuehua and dozed off again.

Xuehua sighed helplessly: "Well, that's the reason." ”

"But I'm trying, I haven't slept in!" said Frost.

Xuehua sighed: "You spent all your energy on making trouble. ”

Frost suddenly had nothing to say, so angry that even her cheeks puffed up, don't look around, with a posture of "you're a bad person, I won't talk to you".

Snowflake smiled and shook her head, continuing to watch the situation on the other side of the altar.

The believers of the False Mask Church are in good order, and the high priest is naturally at the forefront. The man who called himself "Ray" to the outside and "Leon Igor" to the inside was a knight. A silver-white combination armor is covered with a dark blue cloak. Both the armor and the cloak radiated a dazzling light within her magical vision. At first glance, you can see that it is a rare boutique.

In fact, this set of armor was made by Sui Xiong himself, the head, shoulders, chest and back are the overall structure of extremely strong performance, and the waist and hips and ribs are made of pieces of metal with different patterns, each piece or several pieces of metal are a group, each of which forms a different magic, and when a set of armor is worn, it only needs to be stimulated by Dou Qi, and about forty kinds of magic can be freely cast. Hardened a professional knight into an all-round man who cultivates both law and martial arts.

When he first put on this set of armor, Sui Xiong once said with a smile that as long as he carried a hammer and took a book, he would be an "all-round knight".

It's a pity that his joke is only understood by Earthlings.

As for the cloak on the outside of the armor, it is a treasure in the secret treasury of the Riley family.

Kasally Riley may be innocent, but she is not a bad person, and Ray is committed to helping her rebuild the city of Garth. and for her to stop those black-hearted ghosts who spied on the wealth of the Riley family, of course she wanted to repay.

According to the little girl's simple thinking, the most appropriate way to repay in this case is naturally to make a personal promise. However, Ray emphasized that he was a priest and that he helped her for the sake of justice and goodness. There is absolutely no element of coveting beauty, not only does not accept this kind of reward, but in turn gives her a lecture - such as "only beauty." It's not enough", "You have to spend less time dressing up and work hard to learn politics and culture", "If you have time to think about boring things, you might as well learn how to deal with government affairs", etc. Soon the little girl's unrealistic romantic thoughts were dispelled.

Although this highlights Ray's integrity and nobility even more, it also makes Kasally have a better impression of him. But she no longer stupidly said anything about "making a promise", but searched carefully in the secret treasure house for a long time, and finally found a suitable gift.

It was a dark blue cloak, with what at first glance looked like a supple exterior and a starry sky with enchanted gems on the inside. It possesses powerful magical powers, which can not only greatly reduce the damage of various spells, but also provide the wearer with the ability to walk on water, and even has extraordinary defensive power of its own, as long as it is wrapped around its body, it is worthy of a refined set of heavy armor.

The gift was indeed what Ray wanted, so he finally accepted it a little shyly - he didn't know that seeing his embarrassed smile at the time, Kasally went back and silently sent a for a long time.

The full set of armor called "Void Guardian" and the cloak called "Starry Sky on the Sea" are Ray's ceremonial attire. Although he was promoted to the rank of high priest by Sui Xiong because he presided over the preparation of prayers, he still adhered to the style of a knight.

Half a step behind him, Gerald and Walter stood side by side, and together with Leon in front of them, they formed the high-end force of the Church of the Void Masquerade. The plastic surgery of the three legendary powerhouses, no matter which country on the mainland they go to, is shocking enough.

A little further back are Parin, Rod, Orion, and Steele, who are the top of the church, each in charge of some important business. Parin was in charge of the collection and collation of the texts, Rhodes was in charge of external business activities, Orien was in charge of the teaching affairs of the Gerten area, and Steele was in charge of the medical team of the church.

Because of her belief in the goddess of the forest, Lady Tigue did not join the Church of the Void Masquerade, and Liv, who believed in the god of knights, did not join. They were now watching the ceremony from afar with little Niss, watching with curiosity at this rare prayer ceremony.

After that, there are ordinary believers. These believers are mainly pioneers, mixed with two or three adventurers - these adventurers are the believers that Phil helped develop, although the armored man himself said that he only believes in "ancient goddesses", but his ability to preach is very powerful.

In addition to that, the Church of the Void Mask still has some believers on the side of Garth City, but there are not many of them. At this moment, they are gathered in a clearing under the leadership of two adventurers who have also joined the church, and pray together.

With the solemn sound of prayer, countless tiny points of light emerged in the void and slowly gathered above the altar. This is the power of faith, the power that the gods both yearn for and fear.

In the point of light, the phantom of the floating jellyfish slowly emerged, and with a wave of the tentacle, light blue balls of light flew out and floated on the altar.

These orbs of light are the souls of the believers who have been killed by the Shadow Lord. After Sui Xiong rescued them, he found that they had been polluted by the Shadow Demon King with negative energy, and it really took a lot of effort to wash away most of the negative energy in their souls. But even so, there is still some residue. In order to solve this problem, Sui Xiong decided to fight poison with poison and use his magic power to overwhelm the negative energy, so much so that their souls were finally dyed the color of Sui Xiong's magic power.

Wouldn't that have any bad effects? Probably not...... Sui Xiong felt so.

In any case, at least it's better than being polluted by negative energy!

As the power of faith continued to gather, Sui Xiong began to cast spells. This is the first time he has used "divine art" in the true sense, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a resurrection as a classic of divine art, and he is really worthy of the identity of a god.

Vast magic power poured out from the jellyfish phantom, using the power of faith as a bridge to connect Sui Xiong with the souls of those believers. The indescribable power surged in the air, and the massive amount of nutrients that had been stored in advance surged rapidly, combining into bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and hair.

About half an hour later, about ten naked people lay on the wide altar.

Sadly, there are still many souls that cannot be resurrected. These people are divided into two types, and many of them are because their belief in Sui Xiong is too shallow to resonate with the power of faith, and they cannot use the power of faith to build a magical bridge for resurrection.

Sui Xiong can only say sorry for this, he has made up a lot of lessons with the God of Justice during this time, and he understands a lot of rules that must be followed. Although some of the rules were uncomfortable with him, most of them were reasonable.

For example, he thinks the restrictions on resurrection are reasonable.

The resurrection of the dead is an extraordinary grace that, if the gods could give it casually, would obviously upset the balance between the various churches. And the resurrection of the dead is not necessarily a wonderful thing in itself - many of the dead do not want to be resurrected, but want to pursue peace after death.

For example, a small percentage of his group of believers who have not been resurrected have rejected the resurrection for this reason.

For these believers, Sui Xiong could only temporarily construct a peaceful resting place inside the altar, allowing their souls to rest quietly. Wait until the kingdom of God is established, and then bring them in.

As for those beliefs that are too shallow, they should be treated as such for the time being. Wait until the kingdom of God is established, and then see if their faith can meet the minimum standards for going to the kingdom of God.

If it really doesn't work, I have to follow the rules and send them to the underworld.

The whole prayer service did not take very long, and when the resurrection was over, there was still a great deal of faith remaining. Sui Xiong did not rashly accept them, but stored them in the altar.

He had seen the dangers of the power of faith. He didn't want to let such a dangerous thing get his hands on until he found a proper way to deal with it!

In the end, he fed back a little magic along the path of faith.

Every believer who prayed could not help but feel a shock in their bodies and felt the immense and endless power. Although there is only a small amount of water flowing into their bodies, it is enough to keep them healthy and comfortable, and they will not be bothered by illness for a long time. The two adventurers who presided over the prayer ceremony at the venue of Gars City felt that a powerful force was surging in their hearts, and their strength had grown greatly.

This made everyone's faith more devout and their prayers more sincere.

Of course, the gift is not a big pot of rice, it is determined by the strength of each person's faith channel. The more sincere and strong the faith, the stronger the channel of faith and the more magic can be transmitted.

Sui Xiong felt that this rule was also very reasonable - burn incense and worship the Buddha for blessing, of course, the more sincere the more you should be blessed, is there anything wrong?

In the sound of praise, the whole ceremony was completely over, the phantom of the jellyfish gradually disappeared, but there was still silence in front of the altar, and everyone was immersed in a solemn atmosphere.

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the naked people on the altar woke up one after another, and sneezed one by one.

Among them, the loudest "yawn" is Satan. (To be continued.) )
