Chapter 149: Transparency (A very important chapter, please vote in the comment area at the end of the chapter!) )
The voices that did not belong to the lingua franca of the Donghuang Alliance, nor to the languages of other countries of the Blue Star, reverberated from the statue of the goddess, with frenzy and excitement.
Leo, however, clearly understood the meaning of the Soul Eater's voice.
Because, the language it speaks at the moment, it is the lingua franca of the dream world!
"Goddess of the Dark Moon...... Archbishop of the Dark Moon, by Ulisés Leonard...... A Godless World...... The Source of Faith......"
In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through Leo's head.
Faith, Leo didn't have much contact with in the dream world.
The dilapidated Ninth Church of Marim is undoubtedly one of the most representative of it.
God and faith have always been inseparable.
In front of the statue of the goddess, the knight of Lanloins who was suppressed and sealed by the "Prayer Technique - Eternal Heaven"; At the top of the church, Bishop Herwin, who uses special methods to erase his own consciousness in order to fight against the erosion of distortion, only maintains a wisp of obsession, rings the bell of the gods day after day, just to bring a trace of peace of mind to the distorted people of the city of Jor.
God and faith seem to be fundamentally different from aberration.
God lives by the power of faith, and distortion brings chaos and killing to the world.
But here, there is another problem that does not make sense.
If God and Faith are two opposite sides of Aberration, then why is the Goddess of the Dark Moon associated with the Soul Eater and these Knights of Lanloins?
Previously, when Leo dealt with the knight of Lan Luo Yins, the other party finally transformed into a half-body black mud python form, which undoubtedly proved that the knight of Lan Luo Yin Si had a deep relationship with aberration.
There is such a sentence in the introduction of the Dream World weapon that Leo first obtained, the Knight Sword of Lanloins.
[On the night of the conspiracy, the rebellious knight of Lanloins carved a triangular symbol representing "sinner" on his sword to bid farewell to his former glory. 】
Is the "mutiny" of the "night of conspiracy" here related to aberration?
If this is used as a starting point, then the reason behind Count Alexander's agreement to the alchemist Goodravine to use two knight trainees of Lanlois knights as the material for the pure-blood experiment is probably not so simple.
Is it true that the knights of Lanloins, who rode the dragon to invade the ninth church of Marim, were they just looking for the two "missing" Lanloins trainee knights?
The inferences of the past have become fragmented with the addition of new information.
The originally clear city of Yor, at this moment, seems to be covered by a heavy fog, which is unreal.
The Knight of Ranlois has not yet been related to aberration, and as the leader of the actions of the Knight of Ranloins, the Soul Eater, no, it should be said that Ulisés Leonard, Archbishop of the Dark Moon, is obviously even more inseparable from the aberration.
The most obvious thing is the body he occupies, Master Jiang's eyes, and the child's holes are scarlet.
The scarlet eyes are the inevitable changes in appearance after being eroded by distortion to a certain extent, which Leo himself deeply understands.
There is another point that Leo cares about.
That is, the knight of Lan Luoyin obviously retained a considerable degree of sanity before undergoing a complete physical transformation. However, the monsters in the dream world of Yoel City that have been corrupted by aberration are bloodthirsty and crazy, even if Mr. Earl is a [deviant], before he became a soul body.
[Contact], [Hyperchromed], [Aberrant]......
Even the [aberrants] of the third rank were still like this, and Leo didn't think that these knights of Lanloyin would be corrupted to a greater extent than Mr. Count.
In other words, the way in which the knights of Lanloys were corrupted by distortion was not the same as the monsters of Joel City.
Suddenly, Leo remembered something.
It was a message from Goode Laven's Manuscript (Mutilated) in the Dream World's underground laboratory.
[I heard that the Tower Sage of the Central Holy City of Gald, Master Lucius, had spread the pure-blood ritual to the entire Sacred Tree Legion a few months ago, creating a powerful warrior who was not afraid of aberrations. Still, I doubt he's really studied pure-blood rituals? 】
Leo remembered that Mr. Count had spoken to him before his soul body dissipated.
"The principle of the pure-blood ritual, in essence, is to use the blood of aberrant monsters to replace part of one's own blood...... In turn, they have the ability to act in distorted and polluted environments. ”
"But...... Once the pure-blood ritual begins, it means that you are actively thrown into the arms of aberration. All pure-blood knights, from the moment they complete the pure-blood ceremony, are racing against time with their lives. ”
Combined, one thing can be deduced:
The pure-blooded ritual practiced in the Central Holy City of Gald is, in essence, to have the warriors of the Sacred Tree Legion actively throw themselves into the arms of aberration.
There must be something wrong with the so-called Tower Sage Lukeshu!
The first pure-blood ritual came from the tower......
And the way the Knights of Lanloyin were eroded by distortion is likely to have something to do with the "pure-blood ritual".
In this way, does the Knights of Ranlo Ins have some kind of relationship with the royal family of Gaeld?
In addition to this, there is the most important point.
The statue of the goddess in front of you represents, isn't it the goddess of light?
Why do Soul Eaters call her the Goddess of the Dark Moon?
……
A series of thoughts, which seemed like a lot, were actually just flashes in Leo's mind.
In the whispered chant of Ulises Leonard, Archbishop of the Dark Moon, the massive jade statue of the goddess in the center of the space began to emit a dark blue light.
The light was not bright, but the entire space was instantly stained into a dark blue color.
Leo's expression tensed, and the back of his right hand, which was holding the long sword, was bruised by too much force.
Ulises Leonard, Archbishop of the Darkmoon, who had finished chanting, stood up from the ground, and turned his head, his old face facing Leo's direction, his face full of fanaticism, and said in the lingua franca of the Eastern Empire:
"Mr. Leo, I think we can move on to the next step."
"It is unforgivable to delay even a moment in this sinful world to welcome the glory of God."
Leo's face was as calm as ice, and his eyes were fixed on Ulises Leonard: "Can you tell me, what are your so-called gods?" ”
"Daring fanatic!" Ulises Leonard became furious, its bloodshot eyes widening, "Such blasphemy against my God!"
Just as Leo tensed up, preparing for Ulises Leonard's attack, its furious expression suddenly disappeared and calmed down again:
"How can you, ignorant heretics, know the greatness of God?"
"The gods we believe in, even the supreme goddess of the dark moon, she holds the authority of night and life, the moonlight is her, the starlight is also her, everything in the world is under the watchful eye of my god, and it is under the control of my god."
"It is the greatest blessing for you and the unbelievers to receive the mercy of our gods."
"Well, there's no point in telling you this."
Ulisés Leonard rolled his gaze, and the scarlet boy met Leo's eyes, and a crazy smile appeared on his face: "You just need to be a container for the arrival of my god." ”
As soon as these words came out, the overwhelming malice immediately spread from Ulisés Leonard: "I know, you want to delay time, but the problem is, I think so too......"
"Hahaha!"
Leo's eyes were awe-inspiring, and then he realized that at some point, a huge dark blue circular circle appeared on the ground of the space here, and the position where he was standing was the center of the circle.
The intertwined and intertwined lines constitute a complex picture, which makes people feel dizzy at a glance.
Frightened, Leo wanted all the movements, but found that his body was like a mountain on his shoulders, and it was okay not to move, if he moved, the terrifying pressure poured from top to bottom, pressing him to his knees, and his body could not move.
"You should be honored to be the vessel of my god's coming, Leo!"
Ulises Leonard walked up to Leo step by step, and the dark blue circle didn't seem to have any effect on it.
It stretched out its thin right palm, and above the palm, the pitch-black cylinder rotated rapidly, and the black light on the surface became more and more sticky and thick.
"Up!"
With a low cry from Ulisés Leonard, the pitch-black column rose from its palm, flying higher and higher until it reached the top of the space.
A dense black light bloomed from the surface of the pitch-black cylinder, turning into nine entity-like jet-black chains, connected to the ring of the dark blue circle.
"I have to say that you heretical swordsmen are indeed very powerful, especially the heretics who are known as the Title Sword Saints, it is amazing that you can find a different way to cultivate your will to this extent in this kind of magical world."
"If I didn't live in such a world, I believe that each of these titled Sword Saints would have strength no less than mine."
As if remembering a certain existence, Ulisés Leonard's face was faintly ugly:
"It's hard to imagine that such a world can exist like this......"
"However, even if he is as strong as him, in such a world, there is nothing to be done!"
"It is your sorrow to be born in such a transcendent forbidden world and severed by faith!"
"And now, I bring you hope!"
Ulises Leonard's expression became frenzied again, and he opened his hands and made a hugging motion:
"From now on, this world will be a world of faith, and your sins will be washed away day by day in repentance and prayer to the goddess, but why should you resist?"
"Why, you say!"
"Whoa!"
An unprecedented vibration sounded, and at the top of the dark blue space, a huge sword mark appeared that almost cut the entire space.
"What?!"
Ulises Leonard's complexion changed sharply, and the aura on the sword mark that was still unforgettable after more than ten years made it tremble:
"Damn! It's him? How could it be, shouldn't he have died long ago due to lack of life? ”
"No way!"
"I will never allow the descent ceremony to be ruined!"
Ulises Leonard's face turned cold, and his right hand made a virtual grip towards the pitch-black cylinder at the top of the space.
In the next moment, the pitch-black column exploded, and a strong black light instantly enveloped the entire space.
Under the black light, not only was the huge sword mark above the space erased, but the nature of the space also underwent some indescribable change.
Under Leo's gaze, the small stone bowl held by the giant jade statue of the goddess poured slightly, and the scarlet contents inside flowed down the gap in the small bowl, forming a straight line of blood.
The blood line flowed to the ground, not forming a pool of blood, but condensing a blood-colored female body with no facial features and a lake of facial models at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ulises Leonard stepped out and walked into the pitch-black portal that appeared in front of him, and at the same time, its voice echoed for a long time:
"You two, make sure that the descent ceremony goes smoothly."
On both sides of the huge statue of the goddess, the knight of the Great Sword Lan Luoyinsi, who had been standing silently since entering the space here, pulled out the silver-white greatsword behind him with a "bang", and came to the edge of the dark blue ring circle to stand, watching the blood-colored female form approach Leo's location step by step.
……
The north district of the magic capital, the outer ring city.
The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the lightning that had been deposited under the black clouds was almost overflowing above the sky.
The entire Demon Capital, including hundreds of kilometers outside the Demon Capital, can clearly see this terrifying apocalyptic scene.
In front of the dilapidated residential building, Ulisés Leonard stepped out of the dark portal, and at first glance, he saw an old man standing in the rainstorm not far ahead.
His thin right hand held a long sword that looked very inconspicuous in black fluttering, wearing some shabby linen clothes, and the raindrops of beans falling from the sky drenched all his clothes and pants, if it weren't for the black sword, he looked like an ordinary old man in the countryside.
is still an old man who doesn't have much flesh on his face and body, and is daunted and dying.
However, as soon as you see the eyes of the old man, all these thoughts will be discarded by you.
What a pair of eyes they were.
Black and white are clear and transparent like a mirror.
Even the purest gemstones in the world are far from being attainable.
"How is that possible? Why, you're not dead yet! ”
Looking at the old man in front of him, Ulises Leonard yelled out of shape.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but I didn't expect you to have learned our language." The old man sighed.
Behind the old man, the two people standing were the Tuoba Army and the Ning Division, who would never appear here.
Tuoba Jun looked at the familiar face not far away with a solemn face, and at the same time, he was full of disbelief and grief.
"Old Friends ......"
The Soul Eater appeared in the image of Master Jiang, and Master Jiang, who was the original owner, can imagine the current situation.
"I'm dying, but I should have died after the war more than a decade ago." The old man shook his head slightly: "I don't know what you invaded our world for more than ten years ago, and I don't know what your purpose is now." ”
"But I know that your appearance will definitely bring unimaginable disasters."
"Therefore, my only wish so far is to kill you with my own hands."
"I promised a person to protect the peace of the mountains and rivers."
The words fell, and the old man stepped out.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were pale.
