Chapter 125: Enemies of the Gods
"Do you know these forbidden marks, the same rituals they showed you?" Heras asked when he saw Julia's shocked expression.
"Don't disturb my train of thought, filthy disgusting fellow," the priest girl was in a state of shock and lost her mind, and after being suddenly awakened by Heras's words, she subconsciously choked back.
The High King of Curses and Blessings testifies! No one had ever dared to touch her like this, except when her mother bathed her when she was a child, let alone to pick her up and go in her most secret immaculate place, or to use that metal staff!
Julia glared at the damned staff for a moment, as if she was going to burn it to scrap metal with the anger in her eyes, and then she glanced at the staff's owner fiercely, and the hatred and anger in her eyes literally made the air boil, this guy must be the most evil of the evil Emma.
The girl took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and after calming the resentment in her heart, she stopped looking at Heras and began to concentrate on studying the texture on the fragments of the stone platform.
Time passed in such silence, and Heras waited patiently without saying a word, and now that he had achieved his goal, he certainly would not be bored with himself.
"I've only seen a small part of the ritual, but judging by the features of the forbidden crests that are revealed, they are all profane rituals of stealing the 'god-given soul'. Julia roughly recognized the basic features of the crest, and broke the silence with a residual tone of shock.
"Against which god-king? I mean, the forbidden pattern on this stone platform fragment. Heras asked with a serious expression.
"It is not clear that the fragments of the stone platform must have fallen from the central altar of the desecration ceremony. Generally speaking, the god crest painted on the central altar only determines the function of the ritual, and only by seeing the god crest outside the center altar can I judge which god king the ritual is aimed at. Julia struggled to maintain a calm tone and explained.
But as soon as the words fell, the girl shuddered, and she tightened the back of the sacrificial robe on her body. With a hint of fear, he continued: "But I can be sure that the forbidden pattern on the fragments of the stone platform is by no means aimed at the Supreme Curse and the King of Blessings, and it can be seen from the comparison of the painting techniques that the blasphemous ritual of Eraken should have come from the same system of knowledge, and it is even very likely that it was the work of one person!"
"What kind of power does that have to carve this texture in front of you?" Heras muttered for a moment, then asked his most concern. Mages don't usually go out of their way to learn about the Divine Tattoo, and they can't analyze this from the information they know.
Julia took a few quick breaths, as if to give herself the courage to speak, and then she finally squeezed out a word from her tightly pursed lips: "Tenth Order Legendary Priest"
"Just stealing the 'God-given Soul', it takes the power of a tenth-order legend to paint it?" Heras asked in a low voice of disbelief.
"You don't have to have tenth-order strength to paint, but the carver of these forbidden patterns in front of you. His strength must have reached the tenth rank of Legendary. Julia replied uneasily, "Eracken's ritual is disguised, and no one can see what power the engraver has, but the forbidden pattern on this stone platform fragment is not camouflaged at all!
"What does this mean?" Heras felt like an idiot to ask, and it seemed that he had to find some time to gather and learn the knowledge of the faith, even if it was not useful to increase his power, but it was necessary to analyze and interpret the information of the gods.
"It means that once this blasphemy ritual takes effect, even if it is immediately discovered by the gods, there is a high chance of success!" Julia suppressed the inexplicable fear in her heart. A little frightened, he said: "Most of the gods give back to the believers who rely on the divine power order to identify themselves, and only the key targets are personally concerned, and the general blasphemy ritual is just to exploit the loopholes of the divine power order, if it is discovered by the gods." Destroy the damned blasphemers in an instant. ”
"But this ritual is different! If it takes effect, it already has the ability to fight against the God King temporarily! Can you imagine how powerful the person who carved it is? This is equivalent to snatching the 'God-given Soul' under the gaze of the God-King! And afterwards, the God-King will not be able to find out the whereabouts of the 'God-given Soul'. Those who dare to do this, and can still do it, are not even among the tenth-order legendary priests."
Speaking of which. Julia's hand shook, as if she could barely hold the broken piece of the stone platform in her hand.
Heras only then did he really realize the gravity of the matter, had there ever been such a priest in the history of the high planes of Apfaron?
"Alien plane!"
The word just popped into his head. Heras couldn't help but snort!
"I prayed to Erachan's accusation, and the King of Curses and Blessings did not respond. It stands to reason that the discovery of the blasphemy ritual should be the first sequence of events accepted by the divine order, and the gods will generally respond in person," the priest girl added at the end, and then fell silent.
Heras nodded heavily, and casually took back the broken piece of the stone platform, which was a little damp on the stone, and it seemed that Julia's palms were in a cold sweat.
"For anything else, does the Divine Order of the Soul God respond to you?" Heras asked, tucking away the stone and moving his stiff lips.
Except for this, everything else was quick to respond. The girl seemed to feel very cold, and her voice was a little shaky.
"Why don't you try to get in touch with the upper echelons of the Great Temple of Souls?" Heras asked after gathering his thoughts for a moment.
"Unless Erachan dies, I don't dare go to any of the Great Soul Temples right now. Julia clasped her arms tightly and whispered like a lonely and helpless little girl, "Erachan is already a legendary priest of the Church of the Supreme Soul God, he himself is one of the presiding officers of a certain Soul Temple, and there is basic information sharing between each Soul Temple, no matter which temple I visit, he will know it as soon as possible." ”
"Then I guess you can only hope to meet the upper echelons of the Soul Church on the road, and you have to pray that the other party is not an associate of Eraken" Facing this desperate situation before she was an adult, Heras did feel a little pity for this little girl, especially since he had just tortured her with a dark spell.
However, he was more sympathetic to himself at the moment, and he was actually involved in such a sinister thing!
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say, and after Julia stood quietly with her arms folded for a while, stubbornness and unyielding gradually returned to her eyes, making her strong again.
"Filthy fellow, is it your job to investigate the matter of Eracann and the Forbidden Stripes, or is it just your personal behavior?" the girl asked suddenly.
"You don't need to know that, little girl. As soon as Heras spoke, he saw the priest girl's frown, then he smiled, and then politely changed his words: "No, I mean Julia, thank you very much for the information. I deeply regret all the previous actions, and if you had cooperated with my investigation from the beginning, there would have been no need to suffer at all. ”
"Just a pity?" the priest girl didn't appreciate at all when she heard this, and muttered quietly, "Polite scum! Emma's robber nature"
She glanced at the damn metal staff again, suppressed her resentment and asked, "Now that you've achieved your goal, what are you going to do with me now?"
As soon as Julia finished speaking, her heart involuntarily tightened. The girl has a clear understanding of her own beauty, and she knows what a fatal temptation it is, whether it is for others or for herself, it is equally fatal!
"You shouldn't be interested in me," the girl quickly reiterated her judgment, but her tone was full of uncertain apprehension.
Heras looked at the priest in front of him a little amusedly, fortunately he was not an ordinary person, otherwise even if he had no idea before, he would definitely not be able to control it if she was so depicted more and more black. The girl had apparently not realized how seductive her nervous demeanor was now.
"Didn't you say I could toss whatever I wanted?" he couldn't help but laugh and joke, but when he saw Julia immediately clenching her small and delicate fists, and her smooth skin carved like white crystal, she knew that this joke was really not funny at all for the girl in front of her
"Don't worry, I've just gotten married. Heras shrugged his shoulders and said a little boredly, that it was really boring to make such a joke with a girl.
"You're going to rest here tonight, and you're going to clean up your room. He pointed to the makeshift cabin, which had been smashed by magical and magical attacks, and said, "I'll take you out of the Elven Empire, and then wherever you go." ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the hut, and before he could step out, there was a cry from behind him from the girl's expectation.
"We can continue to work together, what's your name?" asked Julia, biting her tiny lower lip.
"Heras. ”
"Alright, Heras, I'll get straight to the point. Julia hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I have to find a place in the Land of Discord, but I'm completely unfamiliar with that chaotic area. ”
As she spoke, the priest girl took out a pale yellow rat skull and continued, "The skull of the Witch Swamp Gerbil is a very good magical channeling material, and I know that the mage needs these. ”
"And this one, the soul crystal of the Dead Swamp Ghost. The girl took out another gray-brown crystal with a faint fluorescence, put it in her palm and said, "This is a very good high magic substance, you will definitely use it." (To be continued......)
