Chapter 636: Departure
The face of the Idol of Light returned to its original blur, and the strange force field surrounding the Idol gradually disappeared.
It is not that there has been some kind of change in Shura, in fact, Shura is not completely annihilated, but when Chen Rui comprehends the truth of the universe of birth and destruction, as an alternate self, he truly returns to Chen Rui's essence, just like the sea embraces all rivers, and the destruction returns to the mystery of the entire "universe".
The incarnation outside the body is more of a doppelganger skill derived from it, even if this doppelganger is given the corresponding independent consciousness by Chen Rui, it is just another idea that is quite related to the ontology, and will not become an anti-guest existence like before.
The reason why Shura stopped liliang was because there was not much power of faith left in the statue of the god of the prayer hall, and the less power of faith, the stronger the repulsive liliang counterattack, just in case, Chen Rui withdrew his clone. Not only that, but the footsteps outside are getting closer and closer, it should be Mana and the others.
These stolen faith powers are stored in Shura's body, and they are transformed into super system faith powers, which are relatively slow, equivalent to getting back a lot of food to store first, and then eating a portion of it every day and digesting it slowly.
In any case, the success of this attempt gave Chen Rui an unexpected surprise, the "legacy" left by Shura is indeed extraordinary, just like stealing the power of faith in the super system at the beginning, he was able to steal and transform beliefs other than himself.
In this way, the speed of the generation of faith crystals will be greatly accelerated, and it is not an extravagant hope to reach the number of one million who can return to the Demon Realm by casting the Starry Sky Gate!
Then, Chen Rui's first task now has become two, first, to infiltrate the White Cliff and go to the Bright Holy Mountain to pick up Xuedalai, and second, to try to steal the power of faith from the Church of Light and gather one million faith crystals as soon as possible.
These two tasks. It's all related to the Church of Light, and the current Jihua who is the "substitute for the Knight of Light" is the key.
Chen Rui walked out of the prayer hall and saw Pastor Mana, Lucio and others waiting outside. As soon as the fat pastor saw Chen Rui coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Richard, has your mental power fully recovered?"
"It's not fully recovered, but it's fine. Chen Rui looked at Lucio, "It seems that our pastor is really extraordinary, and he has solved the problem so quickly." ”
"It's just a trivial thing. Mana's triangular eyes flashed with smugness, "It's you, my friend." Just now Zora said that there was something strange in the hall, but he didn't dare to go in and disturb him. It makes me a little worried about your condition. Thankfully, you're okay. ”
Chen Rui's heart jumped, and he looked at the monk Zola and found that his strength was only F. When his mental power reached E-, he deliberately asked, "Brother Zola." What did you just feel?"
Zola replied respectfully, "It's just a special feeling, I can't say it exactly, it lasted for a while, and then disappeared when Master Mana came, perhaps." It's just my hallucination. ”
"No, your feelings aren't wrong. It was my spiritual power fluctuation just now," Chen Rui's mind was spinning, and he had already thought of an excuse: "There is a special divine aura in this hall, and when I restore Liliang, my spiritual Liliang seems to have been cleansed and sublimated...... Originally, my strength had been stagnant for several years, but now I have faintly found a sense of breaking through the bottleneck. ”
"Oh?" Mana's eyes lit up. The higher the strength level of "Richard", the stronger the "beast mastery". The more good it is for the two of them. If he can successfully pass Eliza and catch the line of Cardinal Roger, not only will Mana be able to ascend to the long-coveted position of Bishop of the Royal Capital, and "Richard" can become the alternate Knight of Light, but in the long run, Richard will find a powerful Templar Knight as a backer, as the object of the contract of interest binding, and he will also benefit a lot as a bishop.
"Mana, if I don't bother, I hope to stay in the church for a while, seize the inspiration of this breakthrough, and strive to break through to the next stage of the division. Chen Rui's words faintly revealed that his current strength had reached the first stage of the division level (equivalent to the Demon King).
Sure enough, Mana showed a look of surprise, and became more and more convinced that Chen Rui was a genius of a certain big family, and agreed without hesitation: "Of course this is no problem! You will soon be a candidate for the Bright Knight, and there are just some corresponding norms and etiquette things that need to be mastered, so you will stay in the church and seize the time to understand and learn, in fact, we don't have much time." ”
In this way, Chen Rui stayed in the Church of Light with a high-sounding sound. For the next few days, he would go to the main hall every day to pray for "enlightenment," sometimes in the dead of night, sometimes while the faithful were praying.
After a few days, the harvest is not small. Not only did he digest half of the stolen power of faith and transform it into the crystallization of faith, but Chen Rui also came up with a more covert method of stealing, using Shura's magical talent from the mirage to create a manifest "real illusion", hiding the changes in the face of the wheel of faith and the gods, so that even in public, they could steal faith in a grand manner.
Of course, the premise is that no strong person can see through the illusion of mirage, and in general, it is safer when there is no one.
The only regret is that since Chen Rui used his clone to steal the power of faith of the idol for the first time, the recovery speed of the power of faith of the idol seems to be unsatisfactory, and in the past few days, the sum of the power of faith stolen by Shura is not even one-tenth of the first time.
There are quite a lot of believers in the Church of Light, and the statue is equivalent to the pillar of faith of the super system, even if you don't pray in the prayer hall, the usual faith can be automatically absorbed by the statue of the God of Light, and it is estimated that it will be restored in one or two months, which is actually not slow, but for Chen Rui, who has limited time, it is obviously not feasible to wait like this.
It seems that the target of theft can no longer be limited to the town of Gudan, and the target must be changed.
It was at this time that the Pastor Mana offered to leave for Garden City at once. The fat man received the latest news, although Cardinal Rogge did not arrive in the capital of Yangshao King, his favorite niece, Miss Eliza, changed his itinerary on the way, and the target was the location of the largest Warcraft trading market in the Yangshao Kingdom, Garden City.
The head of the Garden City Church, the pastor Solanton, was Mana's cousin. He belonged to the same faction as Mana in the church, and Chen Rui's candidate for the Bright Knight this time was recommended by the Garton City Church.
Of course, Chen Rui would not object, took Lucio, set off with Mana, and got into the carriage to Garden City.
The town of Gudan is about a five-day drive from Garden City, and as usual, Mana has hired escort mercenaries in the mercenary union, and the Holy Feather mercenary group has "offended" the church. This time it was abandoned, and Mana chose another more powerful mercenary group, the Iron Shield.
Coincidentally, Chen Rui, the leader of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, happened to have some impression that it was the female mercenary who reminded Chen Rui not to go to Luciodang. It's called Ina, twenty-seven or eight years old, relatively petite, but with a mature charm. Strength D, equivalent to a high-level demon. is a shield warrior who excels at defense.
This time, there were more than 40 members of the Iron Shield Regiment who participated in the escort, all equipped with mounts, and the escort team formed two columns, escorting the carriage in the middle.
Ina's mount is an earthdrake that looks clumsy. But it's not slow. Lucio seems to be particularly courteous towards Ina, riding a horse. and Ina walked side by side, accosting each other from time to time along the way, Ina had a very indifferent attitude and rarely accosted her.
At night, the crowd camped in the woods along the way.
"You're really not the same as before," Ina finally began. "It's even a bit of a big change compared to a year ago. It's because ...... That person?"
Lucio looked at the direction of her gaze and nodded: "That's right, the group annihilation in the Poison Cave a year ago was a turning point in my life, and I met the captain...... It means that my life has a chance to start anew. ”
Ina showed a slight color, and looked at Chen Rui in the distance with a little more surprise in her eyes.
"You call him the captain?" The bearded mercenary on the side showed disdain, "Looking at his age, even if he hides his strength, he is at most a non-commissioned officer, but judging from the attitude of the fat man in Mana, the background should not be small, Lance Lucio, you really have a 'vision', and you have found a powerful young master as the master." ”
Lucio felt that he had made a fool of himself in front of Ina, his face turned red, he stood up suddenly, glared angrily at the bearded man, suddenly calmed down again, didn't say much, turned to leave-the master is a saint-level strength, as a follower, naturally there is no need to deal with these ignorant people.
This reaction made Ina's eyes move, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Silva, I know that you and Lucio have never been at odds, but this time we are hired by the church to escort them to Garden City, and we can't affect the completion of this task in any way." And...... I always felt that Richard was not a simple person, so let the brothers be a little more restrained and try to pay attention to their words and deeds. ”
"I see, Captain. The bearded man nodded, "Actually, I'm too lazy to deal with Lucio's kind of waste, I just can't see him pestering you all the time, besides, no matter how strong the master he recognizes, he can't compare to our deputy leader." ”
"Of course. At the mention of the "deputy head of the regiment", Ina's eyes lit up a little, "I don't know if his mission has been completed, this guy just likes to act alone." ”
"Don't worry," the bearded man shook his head disappreciatively, "With that person's strength, it shouldn't be a problem, the only thing the head of the group needs to worry about is that he doesn't want to be snatched away by other women." ”
"What nonsense, you are in charge of the vigil tonight!If there is a leak, go back to Gudan Town for the old lady!" Ina waved her fist, and the bearded man fled away.
Chen Rui didn't pay attention to these details, and after eating something, he hid in the tent and began to "practice", and the fat priest naturally ordered everyone not to disturb.
These days, in addition to studying the power of faith, Chen Rui is also trying new features of the super system.
In addition to the new skills, the Six Stars Evolution has added a new building - the Star Sealing Platform.
The construction of the Star Sealing Platform required 100,000 spiritual energy and 100 faith crystals, originally because 1 million faith crystals had to be returned to the demon realm, and in the absence of other ways, they had to be accumulated little by little, so Chen Rui was reluctant to use them for other purposes.
Now that Shura has succeeded in stealing the power of faith, and those "shun" beliefs have not been digested, nearly three thousand faith crystals have been added, and Chen Rui has made up his mind and started to build the Star Sealing Platform.
