Chapter 22: Baptism
Su Ye's sudden move startled Leon and Paul, confirming that the look on his face did not seem to be fake, Paul's lips turned white when he was pressed against his forehead by the magic guide gun, and he said in a trembling voice:
"God, God, you areβ"
Obviously, the Lord of the Divine Envoy who was chatting with them hotly just now, why did he suddenly change his face the next moment.
Leon also lowered his head, his expression changed, not knowing what he was thinking...
Su Ye took in the expressions of the two, suddenly put down the magic guide gun, and grinned: "I'm just kidding."
β......β
"Why, you won't take it seriously, will you?" Su Ye looked at Leon with a smile and a playful look in his eyes: "Everyone is their own people, how can their own people attack their own people?"
Leon was stared at by him, a touch of panic flashed on his face, and he quickly nodded and promised: "No, of course not!" Paul and I are both absolutely faithful to the Messenger of God..."
Paul also patted his chest and promised that there would be no second heart. He was really frightened, who would have thought that this seemingly harmless divine envoy in front of him would be able to take out the magic guide gun and aim it at himself in the next second...
Seeing that both of them "swore loyalty" to themselves, Su Ye changed his words: "Since that's the case, then take me out of here."
Paul and Leon looked at each other when they heard this, and they were puzzled: "I'm afraid this will not work, the Dharma Protector has commanded me to wait until you have been baptized before I can let you go... Your Excellency, God Envoy, you might as well make a different request. β
Su Ye snorted coldly: "What, my words are not as effective as a Dharma protector?" You keep saying that I am an oracle, but should I, the oracle of the Elstark Order, be confined here and not able to move? β
The words were so heavy that both Leon and Paul changed their faces.
Yes, although the Dharma Protector had previously ordered the two of them to guard Su Ye and not let him leave the room for half a step. But he is still an oracle after all, as long as he is baptized by the Order later, becoming a high-ranking figure of the Order is already a certainty.
On the one hand, it is the order of the Dharma Protector, and on the other hand, it is the order of the divine envoy, no matter which side is not something that these little disciples can afford to provoke...
However, neither of them realized that they had gradually forgotten that Su Ye was originally a "prisoner" who was captured by the Dharma Protector, and at this time, they had put him in the same high position as the Dharma Protector.
This is naturally also proud of the "shock, start" measures taken by Su Ye.
First deliberately talk to the two of them and break inside, then suddenly take out the magic guide gun to scare them, and finally establish their prestige when they have palpitations.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that if you want to open a window, everyone disagrees, but if you want to lift the roof, others will agree to open the window.
Sure enough, Leon quickly proposed a "compromise" plan: "Please ask God to make your lordship not blame the Dharma Protector, which is also the rule of my order - all believers must be baptized before they can be appointed."
"The Dharma Protector asked Paul and me to watch over you, so that you can wait for your baptism with peace of mind... If you have an urgent matter to leave now, I will go to the priest and prepare your baptism. β
"Baptism?" Su Ye frowned, in the Holy See of Blue Star, the so-called baptism is to take some "holy water" and sprinkle it on his head, or take it naked and soak it in the pool.
But this is a different world, and he sees that Leon and Paul attach so much importance to baptism, and it is not so simple to think about it...
Seeing him nod, Leon's hanging heart finally landed, left the room, and returned about half an hour before he returned to tell Su Ye-
"The priest has agreed, and God has sent your lord to move to the altar and be baptized."
The three of them came out of the room, Leon in front and Paul in the back, and Su Ye was sandwiched between the two, a little like a prisoner who was escorted to the execution ground.
This underground cave is not big, but it is extremely deep, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage are inlaid with magic crystals every dozens of steps for lighting, and Su Ye's saliva is dripping.
With Leon leading the way, after walking for about ten minutes through the criss-crossing underground corridors, we finally arrived at the altar.
The so-called altar is actually just a stone chamber with a hollow in the center, and when Su Ye and the others came to the stone chamber, there were already more than a dozen black-robed disciples gathered here, and they sat around the high platform, looking at the platform with reverent eyes.
Leon whispered, "It seems that there are already believers performing the baptism ceremony, so please wait a moment."
When Su Ye heard this, he looked curiously at the high platform along everyone's line of sight, but when he saw the picture on the stage clearly, a chill suddenly surged up his spine.
On the high platform, there was only a cross-shaped support, and a man who looked like a farmer was nailed to the stand with a wooden awl, and blood was still gushing out.
A black-robed cultist stood in front of the stand, holding a dagger in both hands, looking at the farmer who had passed out on the stand, and hesitated.
"For the sake of the god Elsdack!"
In the crowd under the high stage, I don't know who suddenly shouted.
It's like throwing a pebble down on the surface of a calm lake, and immediately there are ripples in circlesβ
"For the sake of the god Elsdack!"
"For the sake of the god Elsdack!"
"For the sake of the god Elsdack!"
......
The shout overshadowed a loud voice, and all the believers present raised their hands in the air, their eyes were red, and they stared at the high platform deadly.
And the cultist on the high platform also seemed to be infected by the crazy atmosphere, his breathing became rapid, and he took a step forward with a dagger in his hand.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Puff β
The sharp dagger tore open the farmer's chest, and hot blood splattered, smearing the cultist's body and face with a mad color.
Feeling the life of the farmer gradually passing, the believer's eyes were bloodshot, his chest rose and fell violently, and he raised his blood-stained hands and shouted:
"In order to... God of Ayersdack!! β
"Oh!!"
The cheers from the audience rang out like thunder, and everyone seemed to fall into some kind of paranoia, even Leon and Paul couldn't help but shout a few times "God Elsdack".
Su Ye in the crowd looked at the farmer on the stage who had died completely, his hands and feet were cold.
For a time, countless news deeds about cults and sects flashed like slides.
In the past, he only knew what had happened in writing, but now that he was at the scene of the cult, he finally understood why the word in the newspaper described them as "crazy."
This kind of behavior that annihilates human nature can only be described by the word "crazy"!
But at the same time, he also understood the reason why Leon and the others must insist that he be "baptized" before he was allowed to go.
This is forcing him to kill people!
As long as he kills someone, then he will be completely bound to the Order from now on.
The blood and corpses on the high platform were quickly cleaned up, and the gray-haired priest stood on the platform and looked around at the crowd, and said loudly: "Today, there is another important member who will be baptized here by the god Elsdack."
"He is the seventh divine envoy brought back by the Dharma Protector, in order to baptize the respected divine envoy, we specially selected a high sacrifice in the dungeon!"
Hearing the word "divine messenger", the scene boiled again.
Su Ye met dozens of eager glances and climbed onto the high platform with an expressionless face.
