Chapter 154: Baptism

They call the world in the mirror "the void".

Meng Xuan found that although they spoke the authentic Nelson lingua franca, they were very unfamiliar with the term "Nelson".

They usually refer to themselves as the subjects of the "Commonwealth of Serio", and the word Serio, transliterated in Nelson, is supposed to mean "being".

This is an extremely large federation, always fighting on the front line against the twist, with seventy-two cities of protection, these seventy-two cities of protection are the last pure land of this world, and in every city of protection, there is a temple of protection.

Ronin City, one of the seventy-two cities of refuge, is known as the "Temple of Eugea".

But what really made Meng Xuan care was Luo Ning City's attitude towards a distorted conqueror like him.

The existence of the blood-shot monster made him understand that he was definitely not the only twisted conqueror in this world.

However, when he showed these scavengers and wanderers the terrifying black battle armor and the black robe vertical eyes, the eyes of these scavengers and wanderers invariably showed a mixture of fear and disgust.

They usually call him a "degenerate" or a "demon" in fear.

Even these lowest-level scavengers and wanderers have such an attitude towards him, which is enough to guess the attitude of the higher-ups of Ronin City towards the twisted conquerors.

This made Meng Xuan's heart very complicated, could it really be as the blood-threaded monster said, there was no place to distort the conqueror's habitat under the light? This is true even in the world in the mirror?

……

……

Ronin City, Outer Circle.

The streets were dark and potholed, and the surrounding houses were low and dilapidated, filled with rancid and disgusting smells.

Pedestrians on the street often wear wide black robes and large masks on their faces, covering their noses and mouths completely in order to reduce the risk of infection by reducing contact with the outside world.

Their gait is confused, their eyes are blank, and some of them walk in a very deformed and strange manner, as if they are disabled.

It's not the nobles and transcendents of Ronin City who deliberately make the periphery filthy and chaotic.

Rather, because of long-term exposure to the distorted and chaotic atmosphere, the rocks that have not been specially made are extremely easy to twist and deform, and with the alienation of the body, some corrosive and special odorous bodily fluids are difficult to suppress will have an impact on the surrounding environment.

Special building materials and shelter rituals require a lot of resources, and in the face of the massive pressure of distortion, no resource can be wasted on ordinary people.

The residents of the outer circle of Luo Ning can only exchange their meager income for certain holy talismans to improve their situation through their own efforts and contributions.

A small number of talented people will be discovered and have the opportunity to enter the temple school, and once they pass the assessment, it will represent a turning point in their lives.

Eshiocchi completely shrouded himself in a black robe, wearing a mask, and slightly slumped up, like an ordinary resident of the outer circle of Ronin, his eyes constantly looking at the pedestrians passing around.

His gaze was focused on some of the younger residents.

But he found that the impact of distortion seemed to be getting more and more serious, and even some teenage children on the periphery of Luo Ning began to suffer from distorted pollution, and there were varying degrees of alienation.

The situation is getting worse and worse, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer seedlings that can be found from the outer circle, and in previous years, there are always many strong-willed talents in the huge population base of the outer circle......

Eshioch sighed, and he could feel that terrifying power seemed to be slowly reviving.

This is the source of the terrifying power that can threaten the entire Void.

I don't know how long I can last, but compared to these poor people on the periphery, I can already control my own destiny a little.

I think that at the beginning, I was like them, like the walking dead, just hoping to be able to spend day after day in peace.

Eshiochi's eyes were complicated, although he wanted to save more people who had the same fate as him, he really knew that this path was not a qualified person with a strong will, and if he walked it, he would only die faster.

It seems that this time he will return empty-handed.

Eshiocchi shook his head, ready to find an opportunity to bypass the guards in the outer circle and leave first, because today seemed to be the monthly baptism day of the Holy Glory in the outer circle, and it was likely that something would be wrong if he continued to stay here in his own capacity.

Just as he turned to leave, a black-robed man passed by him.

The green lines in the sea of his mind that had been suppressed by special means suddenly jumped.

He turned his head sharply and glanced at the black-robed man who was gradually moving away, and he found that the black-robed man also paused, turned his head, and glanced at him.

Then both of them withdrew their gazes and turned to leave.

"Delusion?"

Eshioch frowned.

Meng Xuan and Eshiocchi passed by, frowned, and didn't care too much.

This time into the periphery of Ronin, he has his purpose.

In other words, he came to be baptized by the Holy Yao.

It is said that this baptism was prepared for the inhabitants outside the city of Ronin by the Temple of Augeia, which guarded Roning.

They divided the outer part of Ronin into three circles, with the smallest inner circle, so they were able to get the chance to be baptized once a week.

The middle circle is second, and you will get a chance every half month.

The outer circle is the largest and has the largest number of people, and every other month, someone will come to hold the baptism of the Holy Yao.

Every resident is eligible to participate.

The so-called Holy Yao Baptism is actually a simplified version of the golden sun in the sky above Luo Ning City, which is much more powerful than the Holy Rune, which can dispel the distorted pollution in the body, and even reverse the phenomenon of alienation.

It is through this regular baptismal ritual that the inhabitants of the outer circle can survive the constant distortion and pollution.

And Meng Xuan's purpose in participating in the baptism was to confirm how much this so-called Saint Yao power had a rejection and influence on the distorted power.

If he couldn't hide his twisted identity as a conqueror under the baptism of the Holy Yao, it would be impossible to get close to Ronin City, which had a golden sun hanging in the sky.

When the time comes, he will have to think of other, more covert ways to contact the forces of the Serio Federation in order to gain more knowledge.

He had thought about obtaining this Saint Yao power through other means, but this power seemed to be only in the hands of the Guardian Temple, and it was only possible to obtain it unless he attacked the white-robed caster team, or attacked some powerful people in the inner circle, and it was extremely risky.

Therefore, he chose to be baptized in the outermost circle, even if there is a problem, in the outer circle, it is easy to evacuate, and the risk is much less.

Jingle bells! Jingle Bell!!

A crisp bell rang, and all the inhabitants of the outer ring poured out of their nests and converged in the direction of the square.

Meng Xuan was shrouded in a black robe, wearing a big mask on his face, blending in with the crowd, looking extremely inconspicuous.

He clearly saw that on the high platform in the center of the square, there was a white-robed man with a ring pattern of soaring wings drawn on his chest.

After this period of covert investigation, he now knows the meaning of this symbol.

It represents the first realm of transcendence, the single ring.

And the transcendent person in the white robe represents another profession that is different from the black robe - the caster.

As for what the caster represented, through the mouths of these residents of the outer and middle circles, Meng Xuan was unable to obtain more useful information.

Beside the white-robed caster, guarded two knights wearing silver armor, holding terrifying spears and shields in their hands, and riding mechanical warhorses with dense golden ritual patterns at their feet.

This is the Templar of the Temple of Eugeia.

Those who can become Templars are at least of the Transcendent rank.

The mechanical warhorse under their feet is actually a powerful ritual item, solidified with terrifying abilities, and has extremely strong combat power.

The white-robed caster had blonde hair scattered and his face was handsome and young, he couldn't tell his real age, he was holding a crystal orb in his hand, quietly closing his eyes, waiting for the guards in the outer circle to continuously gather the residents of the outer circle in a nearby block, everyone was trying their best to squeeze forward, only Meng Xuan kept retreating, shrinking at the edge of the crowd, he only needed to touch the power of Shengyao a little to understand the effect of this power on the distorted secret pattern.

The strange smell and occasional strong coughing and sneezing of the inhabitants of the outermost slums made the white-robed caster frown.
