In the eyes of the magician Antonio, the members of the Dark Arts Hermitage are a bunch of heretics, a bunch of street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

The Magic Guild Law Enforcement Corps and the Battle Priests of the Temple also have zero tolerance for the Hermitage, and once they find a member of the Insurgency, they will definitely track it down to the end and eradicate it from the root.

In Surdak's eyes, these members of the Dark Arts Retreat were nothing to worry about.

As long as their whereabouts are revealed to the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group, they will be wanted by a special magician, he is curious about what kind of connection Selena will have with the Dark Arts Retreat, and he can't help but guess in his heart: Could it be a mage who defected from the Dark Arts Retreat?

Then he immediately denied his speculation, if she was a magician, would she still be short of money?

At this time, Selena had already adjusted her broken emotions, she stood up straight, and looked at Surdak deeply: "Can I trust you?" ”

Surdak didn't speak, but pointed to the knight's badge on his chest and said, "I swear by the honor of a knight." ”

Selena lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and twitched for a while before she made up her mind and said, "Since you want to know, come with me!" Actually, you could have known earlier......"

She turned and walked into the somewhat rudimentary stone house, which Surdak followed, and there was only one room, and as soon as she entered, she could see the wooden tables and chairs in the living room, and a wooden bed against the north wall, on which were also made up of double partitions, and a hammock was made of a thick hay mat with white-washed linen sheets.

The fireplace was on the wall opposite the bed, and beside it was a wooden table filled with chestnuts, and a clay plate with a fist-sized piece of bacon and a small piece of cassava in the clay pot, and the ashes of the fireplace were still not extinguished, and a piece of cassava showed a burnt skin from the grass ash, and it looked like this roasted cassava should be a lunch for two.

There are almost no valuable furnishings in the whole room, but under the careful decoration of the owner, it looks very warm. Selena closed the door, and the room darkened a lot, and she stood beside the square table, her long maroon hair pulled up high, revealing a snow-white neck.

With her back to Surdak, she slowly unbuttoned her skirt, which was piled on top of her feet.

With a smooth back and slender legs outlining the most outstanding figure, Surdak's eyes fell on her back, and he saw a whole black tattoo, it was a bust sunken into the ground, a woman with a perfect face raised one arm, looking up from a well, the face and body of the figure were carved with strange runes, and a pair of empty eyes looking up at the night sky through the abyss.

Behind the bust is a hollowed-out crescent, an eye with long eyelashes, and a magic scepter as a line, outlining the emblem, the hollowed-out black crescent moon is extremely striking in Surdak's eyes.

The tattoo covered almost the entire back of Selena, and Surdak asked in surprise, "What is this...... Magic Pattern? ”

And what his true eyes saw was a completely different scene, when Selena took off her long skirt, the black mist that originally surrounded Selena and the woman hidden in the black mist actually turned into a black vortex, which was sucked into Selena's body little by little, like ink into her body, and printed on her smooth back.

Selena squatted down, picked up the long skirt that had fallen at her feet and put it on her chest, turned her head to Surdak with a red face and said:

"It's not a magic mark, it's a sigil."

It was as if some kind of power had descended on Selena's body, and a crescent-like mark appeared on her eyebrows, and it seemed like a different person for a while.

The feeling for Surdak was that the power that descended on Selena was like the blessings of the gods and demons that came to him after he made sacrifices during the sacrificial ceremony.

The only difference is that Selena doesn't seem to need to be sacrificed, as long as she wants that power to be integrated into her body, anytime, anywhere.

Before Surdak could say anything, Selena continued: "As an apostle of the Dark Goddess who was chosen by the Goddess, or a priest who can be called the Dark Temple, my mission is to spread the teachings of the Dark Goddess in the Grimm Empire. ”

Apostle of the Goddess of Darkness? Priest of the Dark Temple? Spread the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness......

Surdak didn't expect Selena to be a believer, but as a messenger spreading the teachings of the Dark Goddess, shouldn't she leave footprints in the various provinces of the Grimm Empire and proclaim the glory of believing in the Dark Goddess to the people of the Grimm Empire?

"Since you are an apostle of the Dark Goddess, why did you live in seclusion ...... Vol Village?" Surdak was a little incredible.

But...... Didn't the people of the Grimm Empire believe in Lady Liberty? Surdak thought to himself.

Selena also showed a helpless wry smile at this time, she put the long skirt back on, and then asked Surdak to sit down, "Even if you are an apostle of the goddess, you must first ensure that you can live, almost everyone in the entire empire is a believer in the goddess of liberty, and it is not easy to persuade the stubborn Grimm to change their faith, and an apostle like me will also be regarded as a heretic by the priests of the Temple of Freedom, and the priests in those temples may save the world, but they will not pity us." ”

"But you...... As an apostle of the goddess of darkness, shouldn't he have the blessing of the goddess and gain some extraordinary powers? …… No matter how you look at it now, it's a bit too miserable! Surdak asked in confusion when he thought that Selena actually wanted to commit herself to marrying a knight like him.

Selena shook her head, "There is no soil for sowing dark doctrines on this continent, and there are no believers, so they can't harvest the power of faith at all, and the goddess of darkness will naturally not send down oracles, this should be a forgotten corner of the goddess." ”

"With the strength you have, you shouldn't live in seclusion in such a remote village and live such a hard life, are you still an ascetic?" Surdak asked.

At this time, the imprint on Selena's body disappeared little by little, and turned into a black mist around her again, and the figure of the woman in the black mist faded to almost non-existent.

The crescent moon mark at Selena's eyebrows also slowly disappeared, Selena looked up at Surdak, and what made her feel a little relieved was that Surdak did not do anything drastic after knowing her identity, she had seen too many people, and after learning her true identity, some hoped that she could stay away, or eager to report her to the priests of the temple as soon as possible, or hoped to get some benefits from her, after all, she was the one chosen by the Dark Goddess.

Each time Selena wanted to tell those people that Celine, the goddess of darkness, was just a god with no followers, and that she could not even perform ordinary miracles.

Perhaps it was Selena's desire to preach the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness to others that would be misunderstood as an ominous person. Surdak thought so.

Selena shook her head slightly, "No, I'm not an ascetic, if I pray to the goddess in exchange for bread and milk, of course I will improve my life here, and I will never let myself live so poorly......"

In fact, Surdak is not a believer in Lady Liberty, so he doesn't care what Selena believes, he just thinks that she is probably the worst priest in the world.

At this time, he thought of his sacrificial ritual again, and provided sacrifices to the demon god himself, and accordingly obtained the power of the demon god to descend, so in the eyes of the battle priest of the temple, did this situation also belong to the infidels?

"Because of this, those members of the Dark Arts Retreat want to find you?" Surdak asked.

Selena nodded silently, looking like a poor kitten, looking at Surdak with unblinking eyes.

Surdak felt that he should give Selena some comfort at this time, so he gently shook the soft hand stretched out across the table and said, "We have a lot of things to prepare for in advance......
