"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Noticing Mavi's delicate face, Badge asked expressionlessly.

I don't know if it was an illusion or what, his face was full of gloom in Mavi's eyes.

"Why don't you speak?"

Badge leaned over, almost at a distance from Mavi's face, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Stay away from me!"

Ma Wei took a step back and shouted, "I should ask you this sentence!" What do you want to do by destroying the defensive circle of the Ancient Holy Land?! ”

"Isn't that the path you chose?" Baji's face was puzzled, but his eyes were full of fierceness: "It's obvious that you chose it, but you want to blame me in turn?" ”

"Nope! You were the one who guided me to this route! ”

Ma Wei felt his head swell a little, as if his emotions were uncontrollable: "You are the same as Danbala!" They all want to use the crystal tree core left over from the ancient holy land to shape their bodies, right?! ”

Bucky suddenly stopped talking, and laughed gloomily, laughing and laughing, and his figure suddenly twisted, spun and disappeared.

Ma Wei's eyes were dark, and when he woke up again, he found himself lying on the ground with a splitting headache, and Levine and the others were looking at him nervously.

Badge was there too.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You've fallen for the defensive magic of the Ancient Holy Land." Badge said: "The first layer of the defensive circle has two layers of mechanism, and if it is forcibly destroyed, it will emit a magical medium, which is made by mixing blood sand with the core of the crystal tree, which will make people hallucinate. When you were unconscious, you were babbling gibberish. ”

"What did I say?"

"Big brother, you" Levine and Daniel looked at each other and said hesitantly, "Big brother, you said that Badge is suspicious, you need to get rid of him immediately."

It's really the same as in the hallucination.

Ma Wei coughed and asked the doubts in his heart: "Why do you want to destroy the defensive magic of the Holy Land?" ”

"The first layer of the Holy Land's defensive circle cannot be lifted, it is an endless loop, and only by breaking it with brute force can you enter the next layer." "There's only one safe way to get in, and that's through a deep well, and beyond that, the only way to do that is to use violence," Badji explained. ”

"You're also a spirit now, can you also use the crystal core to reshape your body like Dembala?"

"Theoretically, yes." "But it doesn't make much sense. I'm just a clone, even if I use the crystal core to reshape my body, I can only reach the strength of a second-tier god, and I am still not an opponent of the goddess of fate. ”

"Dembala is different, he lost his physical body, causing his strength to fall to the second-tier god level, but if he reshapes his body with the crystal tree core, he can go to the next level and touch the barrier of the main god."

Lord God

To this day, Ma Wei has never seen the Lord God make a move.

Neither Baggi's essence nor Odin's true power was displayed.

The difference in strength between the main god and the ordinary god of faith is still a mystery.

Baji's answer still has some credibility here in Ma Wei, and it is not difficult to see from the previous signs that the strength of Baji's clone is far less powerful than the one he saw when he was in the Kingdom of God, if his strength is comparable to that of the second awakened god, I am afraid that he would have already found a way to recall his own body.

Luca, who had dealt with Badge several times, also did not warn, which further proved that Badge was right.

After eating two pieces of Yunia's chocolate, Ma Wei felt better, and after being hit, he thought of a lot of possibilities that he had ignored before, and magnified these possibilities infinitely, which must have been caused by hallucinations.

When he woke up, the strange feeling disappeared and he noticed more key information.

Lukka had been acting with them, and he had seen everything Baji had done, and if there had been a problem, he would have stepped in to stop it.

Since coming to the Kingdom of Alawi, strange things have happened around Baji repeatedly, such as the previous Black Sandstorm, and suspicions have long accumulated and exploded in hallucinations.

Such suspicions are often unfounded.

After resting for a while, Ma Wei and the others hit the road again and went straight to the holy land.

In the hallucination, Baji destroyed the first and second layers of the Holy Land's defense circle, but in reality, only the first layer needs to be destroyed, and the second and third layers of defense can be dissolved and reopened.

Jerusalem meant a lot to Baji, which was the main reason why he didn't choose to forcibly break in, preferring to be troublesome rather than destroying this treasure that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

The second layer of defense was not the crystal wall that Mavi had seen in his hallucination, but a giant stone statue, twelve more of which according to Baji sat on the edge of the city of Jerusalem, and was a man-made natural magic.

Beyond the stone statues, even if you enter Jerusalem, like exploring Londinium, Mavi cleared a clearing and saw the ruins of the holy land that were tens of thousands of years old.

It was more like a shed made of stone than a house, and the real time was so old that people still lived in tribal-like stone houses, and even used stone bowls for eating!

This is Jerusalem!

The holy place of Baji Sanctuary!

unexpectedly

So backward?

Mavi had been to Lendinium, the humans of the Golden Age, who had lived in modern houses, and they even had freezers for refrigerating food, and the furniture that worked on magic was more advanced than the real era!

One is the primitive era, the other is the energy era, and the gap is too big!

"Surprised, isn't it?" Badge came to a stone house, and he still remembered the name of the owner of the stone house: "The real era is so primitive, Avalon is very advanced, and the flashpoint of human science and technology should be the golden gods who taught alchemy to humans, giving rise to modern science"

"In the era of my rule, human beings did not even have enough to eat, but they had a conscience and knew how to share."

"In the era of the golden gods, human beings no longer worry about food and clothing, but they have become extremely violent and selfish, like monsters."

Looking at the backward and dilapidated stone house in front of him, Baji couldn't help but say, "In order to make the believers live a better life, I chose to retreat, but they embarked on the road of self-destruction Ma Wei, why do you say this? ”

"To achieve utopia, it is necessary not only to be materially rich, but also spiritually fulfilling." "The golden gods only gave humans the magic to satisfy their substances, but they did not teach them how to use it, and if the development of productivity did not match the development of the spirit, there would be tearing," said Mavi. ”

"I think it's a paradox." Baji shook his head and said: "When the material life is rich enough, human beings will pursue the spiritual world, just look at those nobles, their extravagant behavior is to pursue the satisfaction of the spiritual world, and the spiritual world is impossible to satisfy, human nature is like this, what you get, you will want more, endlessly." ”

"The spiritual world is the same as the material, when the material is extremely rich, the spiritual world is difficult to be satisfied, because everything becomes readily available, and human beings cannot get the pleasure from it, so they have to make up for it in a perverted way."

"Because of material abundance, the spiritual world cannot be satisfied, am I right?"

Instead of answering Badge's question directly, Mavi asked, "Are the human beings of the real age satisfied with their spiritual world?" ”

"At least they're happy."

Smiling, Mavi no longer discussed this with Badge, now was not the time to discuss these at all: "Aren't we here to find the Holy Sword?" ”

"The holy sword is in the middle of the holy place, follow me."

Floating ahead, Baji led Mawei and the others to a high altar of sacrifice, on which was an open-air shrine, made of blue and white jade, located in the center of the holy place, filled with a sacred aura.

And beneath the temple, bones and holy swords were scattered all over the place, as if the entire inhabitants of Jerusalem had come here and died.

As if he could see the tragedy of the war, the humans armed with alchemical weapons invaded Jerusalem and launched an attack on the temple of Baji, and the humans who believed in Baji crowded around the sacred temple, holding primitive weapons, and spontaneously defended the faith in their hearts.

Judging by the number of holy swords and bones, it should have been a one-sided slaughter.

Baji, who was supposed to support the believers, did not help, he did not even resist too much, he sat on his throne and waited for the enemy to come.

He thought that mankind in the Golden Age would be able to live happily ever after, but he did not expect that everything was contrary to expectations, and that in addition to material satisfaction, the human beings living in the Golden Age were not as happy as the humans of the real age.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Badge wants to return.

If what He thinks is right is wrong, isn't the believer who sacrificed for it a wronged soul?

After all, he was wrong.

Under the altar, as if sensing Badji's arrival, wisps of ghosts floated out of the skeletons, and they didn't attack the intruders, but just stood there blankly, looking at Badge intently.

I don't know how long later, as one ghost crawled to the ground, other ghosts made similar movements, as if pilgrims.

Bucky opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

For tens of thousands of years, those believers are still guarding this land, believing in the gods who once abandoned them.

Ma Wei also found that those ghosts were exactly the same as the ghosts he saw in the black sandstorm.

Only on the day of the start of the black sandstorm can they fly out of the deep well and search for their true god in the endless desert.

"Go get the Holy Sword." Badge took a deep breath and said, "They won't stop it." ”

"Isn't there a third layer of defense?"

"The third layer of defense is protected by the altar, and the holy sword falls outside the altar, so it won't trigger."

Baji raised his hand and made a move, and a silver holy sword flew over, suspended in the air: "To tell the truth, in fact, these alchemy weapons belonged to the rotten streets in the Golden Age, and it was too redundant to clean the battlefield, but I didn't expect that after tens of thousands of years, they turned into treasures."

Hearing this seemingly mocking remark, the corners of Ma Wei's mouth twitched, unable to refute.

The alchemy weapon of the Golden Age is indeed a treasure in his eyes, and the golden gods have already developed the 'Earl Stone' to store magic power, which is installed in the holy sword, and even ordinary people can use it.

What is this concept?

As long as you have enough magic, you can build a terrifying magic army!

There were hundreds of holy swords scattered among the bones, and Ma Wei was also very simple, activating the tears of the Siren to collect the holy swords and bury the bones at the same time, although they had long been buried in the ground.

"Get rich, get rich!"

Levin came running with a few holy swords, took off his headscarf and wrapped them all, looking excited, obviously wanting to pack them and take them away.

Ma Wei glanced at him with disdain and said, "Look at your useless appearance, you just moved away with the tears of the Siren!" ”

"It's still big brother to pick up cheap things, your brain is spinning fast!"

"That's all the experience I've gained over the years of privateering!"

Watching Ma Wei and the others carry out a big sweep, Baji reminded: "This holy land still has a lot of development value, there are still remnants of the magic array tens of thousands of years ago, and the slate literature is also very valuable, it can't be taken away at one time, it is recommended to develop it several times." ”

"You don't mind?"

Stopping the movements in his hand, Ma Wei said strangely: "Anyway, this is also a holy place that once belonged to you, and we came in to move things, aren't we like thieves?" ”

"It's called a thief without the owner's consent, didn't I let you come here?" Badge said in a calm tone: "These things, left here are also dead things, they are garbage, and there are even hidden dangers. If you can all move out, I don't have a problem with that. ”

As a true god, Baji really didn't look down on the treasures of the ancient holy land, at most, the crystal core could attract his attention, and other historical relics such as the holy sword, magic array, and stone tablets were of no value to him.

"By the way, what about the crystal core?" Daniel asked.

"That altar is made of crystal cores."

Baji pointed to the pyramidal altar in front of him, which was hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, and said: "Every brick there is a crystal core, and there is a layer of defensive magic on the outermost part, I can remove it, but looking at your appearance, I can't take it away for a while." ”

There are too many things, and you really can't take them away in one trip, no matter how powerful the Kraken's Tears are, it is impossible to quietly hollow out an entire holy land, the key is not to be discovered and quietly transferred

Mavi also thought about it, leaving a tunnel and then entrusting the Addams Chamber of Commerce to dig it secretly, just like the Doomsday did in London.

The excavated crystal tree core can be transported back to the Romanov Kingdom and handed over to the church for disposal.

This time, they packed the holy sword and took it away first, and then they would talk about the rest.

Manipulating the soil and holding all the holy swords, Ma Wei and the others were about to leave, but as soon as they walked out, the ground suddenly shook, and bursts of terrifying magic fluctuations came from above, and the demon spirit wooden box in his arms shook as if it was about to jump out.

Bucky, Unia, and Edward raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at the dirt overhead.

They don't look at the dirt, they look at something above the dirt.

In the sky above Jerusalem, the wind and sand swept away, the ghosts roared, the dark clouds gathered, and in the center of the storm, a huge black gate slowly emerged.

Devil's Gate!
