No matter where it is, the tavern has always been the most well-informed place in town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The tragedy that happened in the info alley was not far from here, so the news quickly spread inside the tavern.

A young drinker boasted in the crowd that he had seen the Shura Field, and his words described a much more exaggerated scene than Lopez had seen.

What a kyokan made of heads, a stream of blood. Lopez bet he must not have been there because it was cleared as soon as it dawned.

"Hey, have you heard? A lot of people seem to have gone missing lately. ”

"yes, yes, and there have been so many cases lately. ”

"Seven times now, right?"

"yes, seven times. Jennifer seems to have disappeared recently. ”

A table of fiercely dressed adventurers was talking about what they knew. What they were discussing caught Lopez's attention, and he walked over......

"What do you all know?" Lopez slapped the table hard, "tell me everything you know!"

"Vozh. The adventurer on the right stood up in a rage, furious at anyone who was treated like this, let alone an adventurer who was known for his violent temper.

"You'd better tell me quickly, or you'll ......" Lopez drew his saber from his belt, a faint glow of holy light.

He believed that these people should know the Light.

"Oh...... Okay, okay. The adventurer who was about to roll up his sleeves and fight just now confessed. "We'll tell you everything we know. ”

"Okay. Lopez put his sword back in its scabbard. "Say, be as detailed as possible. ”

The adventurer gave Lopez everything he knew about the gossip, and he knew far more than Lopez knew. The Dark Side always seems to be delivering information faster than they do, and he even knows the location of each attack and the number of missing people!

From the scene he described, it can be seen that he must have been to the scene.

"Looks like I did it right this time. Lopez thought.

"What are you doing?" said Anne.

Lopez waved his hand in a panic: "No, no, nothing." ”

"Huh?" Anne raised her head, staring at Lopez with big eyes. "Are you telling the truth?"

"When...... Of course. Lopez put his hand on the back of his head: "How could I lie to you?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anne pouted. "I'll ask Sister Jenny myself,"

"Huh, why do you ask her, how would she know what I just said?"

The four adventurers, who were still sitting at the table drinking, sensed the trouble and quietly left.

Anne, who had already left some distance, turned her head: "I saw the three of you go out last night, and you came back like that. Gee. ”

I was really seen, and I wanted to hide it, such a terrible thing. Lopez thought to himself.

"Forget it, you go and call everyone to my room. I'll tell you everything I know. ”

Anne smiled slightly: "Count you as acquaintances." ”

................................................

In a dark, damp space, there is a structure that resembles an altar.

The space is sealed on all sides, and no light source from the sky can be seen from here. The complete rock dome blocks everything from this, and it is supported on all sides by a large circular pillar, which forms a boxy space with a hexagonal altar in the center.

The hexagonal altar has a lot of blue candlelight, and they are more like the legendary ghost fire than the candles. With no candlesticks, and no fuel, they grew on the ground, and emitted a cold, dark glow in all directions.

That's all the light in this space.

Robert stood on the outskirts of the crowd, and as soon as he had finished all the work the church had given him, he rushed here to get baptized. Baptism is a very happy thing, every time he can touch the holy water once, he can be so happy that he wants to hit the wall, it is really an indescribable happiness. However, as a member of the lowest level of the church, he was able to get the least share and do the most work at each baptism.

He was very unconvinced by such unfair treatment, so he couldn't help but look at the bishop standing on the stage.

In fact, the bishops of the dark sect wore the same black robes as the congregants, and there was no difference in their clothes. It's just that in relation to the Church of Light, their distinction of authority depends on the shoes on their feet, and the benefits they receive are not money, but the opportunity and quantity of baptism.

At last it was Robert's turn, and he happily took off his felt hat and followed the group to the altar.

The priests carried down a corpse from a nearby wooden cabinet and placed it in the center of the altar that had never been used before, and the magic array that condensed the holy water lit up from the ground and gradually converged on the corpse's body.

"This baptism seems to be a little different. ”

Because the Dark Sect has lived under the oppressive rule of the Church of Light for a long time, it has been hunted down by paladins like rats. And they were only able to use some dark magic, and they had no way to compete with the paladins, and even the demons outside the country did not think to cross the fortress to help them. After that, when more people died, people naturally tried to find a solution, and today, such a solution has finally been realized

One corpse after another was thrown in the center of the magic circle, and they had been emptied of their internal organs beforehand to ensure absolute purity for the ritual. In the faint blue light, their corpses turned into a black-red ball, the surface of which gently fluctuated like water waves, but it was thicker than the water.

Those orbs are a mixture of bone and flesh.

It doesn't get much more disgusting than this.

The magic circle gathered a dark blue ball of light underneath the blood ball, and under the manipulation of the sacrifice, it slowly merged with the blood ball and re-condensed into a smaller blue ball.

The bishop took it and looked at all the congregants in the stands: "Now we are not doing an ordinary baptism, but a gift from the darkness. Accept it, and you may become the most powerful warrior among us in a short time, and you will have as many baptisms as the bishop again. But it is also possible that you will fail, and the result of your failure will be death on the spot. ”

The bishop paused and said, "Who is the most pious warrior, who can be the first to accept our evolution?" ”

"I'm coming!" a stout man jumped on the altar, he was just a newcomer who had just joined for a month, but the temptation of baptism for him had reached its peak, and the number of baptisms at this stage could not satisfy him at all.

As a result, acceptance of evolution seems to be the best option.

"To be able to receive more baptisms!"

He roared, and without hesitation, he took the cup from the bishop's hand and drank the holy water mixed with flesh and blood inside.

Seconds later, the frightening mutation took place. To be continued.
