Chapter 110: Soul Binding
"Woo!" another boulder whizzed down from mid-air.
"Boom!" the boulder slammed directly into the stone wall of the worship hall. It was then bounced off and dropped to the ground.
A large crater immediately appeared in the stone wall that was hit, and with this pit as the midpoint, dense cracks like spider webs spread out in all directions.
Red suddenly shouted, "Quick, let's take our things and leave immediately." After saying that, the three of them immediately rushed into the worship hall.
Cardinal Henry stood in front of the stone platform in the center of the worship hall, stretched out his right hand to take the things placed on the stone platform, but he hesitated, so the castration was quite slow.
Red immediately shouted: "Don't move!" Henry turned his head when he heard this, and saw Ryan and the three of them also walking in, his face changed greatly, and his right hand did not hesitate any longer, and directly grabbed the thing placed on the stone platform and picked it up.
"Hahahaha!" Henry shouted like a madman, "The Praise of Light is in my hands, the power, the power will belong to me!"
Red sighed and whispered, "Good luck." The voice of this sentence was very small, even Ryan and Allendo, who were standing beside him, did not hear it, and of course Henry, who was more than thirty meters away, could not hear it.
"In the name of the God of Light, your most devout believer......" Henry carefully held the things he picked up from the stone platform with both hands, which made it clear to Ryan and the others who were standing in the distance that he was picking up a book, and Ryan and the others had only seen Red once, so Ryan and Alendor naturally looked at Rand, who nodded, indicating that it was this book.
Henry chanted the prayer incantation aloud, and his face was full of longing for the great power he was about to gain, and the first page of the book suddenly opened automatically, and as the pages opened, a soft white light shone out of the book, and soon enveloped Henry.
Henry only felt a powerful force enveloping his body, enveloping his body, this force was very soft, making Henry feel as vibrant as spring. Henry's heart was overjoyed, he thought that he had been approved of the book and became its master, so he cried out loudly: "Red, I succeeded, haha, waiting for the moment when the soles of my feet tremble...... Ahh
Before Henry finished speaking, the powerful force suddenly changed, no longer continued to wrap him, but greatly rejected Henry's body, Henry was shocked, he didn't know what was happening, but he subconsciously felt that this might be a test of himself in the book "Praise of Light", so he changed his hands to grasp and firmly held the book in the palm of his hand.
"Wow!" Henry felt a pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body became limp after spurting blood, and he could no longer use his strength, and was pushed away by the force. As soon as the Praise of Light left Henry's palm, the soft white light vanished, and the entire book fell to the ground. Henry's knees weakened, he could no longer stand, he fell to his knees at once, and then his body tilted, and he lay on the ground diagonally.
"Why, why!" Henry couldn't figure out, and the pain in his body made him moan under his breath. Red strode over, gently picked up the copy of "Praise of Light" in front of Henry, and held it in his left hand. Henry was lying on the ground, and from his point of view, Red looked like a huge mountain, and the costume that Red was wearing made Red solemn.
Holding the Seraph's Scepter in his right hand and the book of "Praise of Light" in his left hand, Red softly recited a large number of odes in praise of the God of Light, and the "Praise of Light" quickly turned the first page silently as Henry used it, and the soft light enveloped Red.
The Seraphic Scepter on Red's right hand immediately burst out with a golden light, intertwined with the white light released by the "Praise of Light", and together enveloped Red, and the two different colors of light quickly blended into one, and finally turned into a strong light and rose into the sky.
With a flash of bright light, Red's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, and the book "In Praise of Light" automatically turned to the second page. Henry, who saw all this scene in his eyes, suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer, and he said in a lost voice: "It turns out that the secret is here." ”
Red didn't answer Henry immediately, his body didn't move, but a series of magic spells automatically appeared in front of him, and these magic spells formed a simple pattern and immediately exploded, turning into golden light and disappearing into the air, and Red, who had completed all this, showed a relieved look on his face.
"Soul binding!" Henry said with mixed feelings. "That's right, it's Soul Binding!" Red replied with a smile, "No one can take the book from me anymore unless I die." ”
"It turns out that in order to turn the second page, you must have that Seraphic Scepter. Henry muttered to himself, "I finally understand why he could choose you." ”
"Yes, the biggest secret of this book is that the person who opens it must have the Seraph's Scepter, which symbolizes the identity of the archbishop, so it can only be obtained by each archbishop, which is the biggest reason why my teacher put it here for you to read, because this Seraph's Scepter is also soul-bound, and there is no need to worry about someone stealing the book after learning this secret. ”
"I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid......," Henry's mind was in turmoil, and he thought back to the previous scenes, many of which he had never figured out before. And Red stopped caring about Henry, and Ferdinand, who was standing on the sidelines and stunned, went straight to Ryan.
"Congratulations. Ryan's face was full of sincerity, but Red shook his head slightly, and said in a voice that only those around him could hear: "This ritual is just to confirm ownership, but it will take a long time to really use that power." ”
"If possible," said Ryan, "try not to use that kind of power, it is really ...... at the cost of life."
"Hehe, of course, I didn't live enough. Red smiled and said, "I'll be by your side, let you take me on adventures, and then slowly grow my strength, in case something can rely on you, right?"
Ryan nodded and said, "Of course, but let's leave now." ”
Red heard the words and was about to take a step, but heard Allendo say, "What are they going to do?"
Red turned his head, looked at Ferdinand, who was like ashes, and Henry, who was lying on the ground and didn't know if he was still conscious, and whispered: "We will immediately find the human army defending here, and if possible, help them resist the attack of the orcs, let the people here evacuate, and then the two of them will naturally be among them." ”
Ferdinand watched the three of them walk out of the worship hall, his body went limp, and he also fell to the ground, he gasped for breath, his eyes stared at Henry lying on the ground, he knew that he had lost the bet. However, Ferdinand soon got rid of his decadent thoughts, and he struggled to his feet, looking around the hall.
It is home to the belongings of many well-known figures of the Church of Light, almost every one of Ferdinand familiar with them, and tells the story of it in its original form. For example, the emerald ring of the last Pope Franz II, because it was blessed with the eye of reason, the wearer did not have to worry about being attacked by psychic magic, and the "Praise of Light" by the Archbishop of Nebiro, which is said to contain the power given by God, etc.
Now that the place was in chaos, Ferdinand was so greedy that he took off his coat and began to frantically scrape everything he could take with him. Ferdinand knew that these items contained a huge amount of energy, and it was best to be able to use them, but if they couldn't, they could also be sold, and I believe that they would be sold for a good price.
The three of them hurried to the main entrance of the Nebiro Cathedral, because it was sure to be attacked by the fiercest of the orcs, and most of the main forces and commanders of the human defenders would also be there. They had only walked through a few courtyards when they heard a violent shout of killing in the distance, and the three of them immediately began to speed up and rushed over with all their might. When they arrived, they saw a mess in front of them, hundreds of human corpses lying on the ground, a dozen green-skinned orcs surrounded the four humans, one of the four people who were surrounded was wearing a priest's robe, while the other three were dressed as soldiers, and one of them was wearing the costume of a squad leader.
"You, you slaughter the believers of God, can't you ......" The priest who was surrounded accused the orcs on the periphery in a trembling voice, but perhaps because of anger, but not because of fear, the priest could not even speak completely.
The orcs didn't understand the continental lingua franca of the human race, and one of the orcs shouted a few words in the orc language, then picked up the sharp axe in his hand and slashed at the priest.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Ryan raised his hand to see a magic missile. Ryan was about forty meters away from the priest, and even if his magic missile was instantaneous, no matter how fast he flew, it couldn't be faster than the sharp axe he cut down close to him. I only heard a scream, and the human priest's left arm was cut off, which was also because the squad leader next to the priest pulled him away forcefully, otherwise I was afraid that the priest's whole person would be cut in two.
After the orc cut off the arm of the human priest, Ryan's magic missile also arrived, hitting the back of the orc's head, and the orc didn't even snort before he was killed by the powerful impact.
The death of this orc also made the other orcs discover the existence of Ryan and the others, and they immediately divided into two groups, leaving four people to watch the four humans steadily, and the remaining eight people immediately rushed in the direction of Ryan.
