Abner, with his head in a mess, wanted to say something more, but at the moment when he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that the gambling house was a little quiet.

Because Lynn and the others entered the venue almost at the same time as the opening of the gambling house, the time was too early, so there were no outsiders.

But if there are no outsiders, it doesn't mean that it can be so quiet that you can hear a pin dropping.

Abner jerked around.

Huang Mao and the others fell to the ground at some point; Although the dealer was still standing, the expression on his face had completely froze, like a dead man standing.

"You, what did you do?"

Lynn watched his movements and whispered, "Isn't it normal to maintain the necessary silence for the meeting to take place?" ”

Abner asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?" ”

"It's simple." Lynn said, "I've heard, you're preparing a ceremony. ”

"A ritual that awakens the gods?"

Abner was shocked: "You know this, too? ”

"Yes, but not clearly, so, I want to be clear."

"......," said Abner, "yes, we are indeed preparing a ritual to call on the gods, and the called gods are none other than our great Lord of Pleasures, and if you want to worship the true gods, I can be your introducer and allow you to join our order without hindrance......"

"Stop." Lynn interrupted Abner, "I'm not interested in joining anyone, let alone an organization that doesn't see the light of day, I just want to know if your ceremony is ready and when it will take place." ”

“......”

Abner's voice, which had been cut off from the last of his thoughts, was a little weak: "No. ”

"We've put a lot of effort into collecting it for years, but so far, it's still a little bit close."

"This ritual was first proposed by the bishop, who said that he had discovered a shocking secret in a ruin," Abner said. ”

"My lord has not been killed by the rest of the gods, nor has he been banished from the world, but he still sleeps in the earth beneath our feet, waiting for the right time to be awakened by the chosen one."

"And he found a way to awaken my Lord in that ruins."

"—Make a human shell full of desire, so that it has a place to descend."

"The left arm is greedy, and the right arm is gluttonous; The lower limbs are debauchery, and laziness is the backbone; The skull houses vanity, and the soul is attached to the master. ”

Lynn said thoughtfully, "So, what you're doing is you're going to find people who have these kinds of traits and then take those parts of them?" ”

"It's right to look for people with these characteristics." "But whether it was taking away their hands or feet, I don't know." ”

"We're only responsible for finding people, leading them to pleasure, and then handing them over to the bishop who are completely subservient to pleasure, and then none of our business will be."

"Okay." Lynn shrugged, "So, when are you ready?" ”

"How do I know?" Abner said dissatisfied, "Except for the one who dominates, we have already found a target, and there are even multiple options, such as I was arranged to find a vain person, I originally chose a female student from the Rhine Academy, but because the female student was too shrewd, and the person sent was not very good at using the brain, in the end it dragged on for a long time and did not succeed, so I immediately changed my attention and changed the person - although the foundation of that person was not enough, it only took me thirty minutes to let him successfully sink into vanity, And the vanity grew at an extremely fast rate, and it was not long before it was handed over to the bishop. ”

"So, what's so special about this ruler?" Lynn asked curiously, "Since you can make desires grow, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate such a person, right?" ”

"No, it's hard, it's very hard." Abner said, "Desire is only built in areas that you can reach or can reach. ”

"For example, a person who is lazy all day and does not want to work but fantasizes about ruling the world, and when he meets someone, he tells him that he is the king of the future world - this kind of person can not have a master, but a doctor."

“.......”

"Therefore, the person who dominates must be a person with extremely strong ability, and this kind of person is within the scope of the spotlight wherever he goes."

"I hate to admit it, but we really can't be around these people with a purpose, and because of this, the progress of the ritual is stuck here." After a pause, Abner continued, "However, this may only be temporary. ”

"Maybe it's because those people are too inefficient, the bishop suddenly said a few days ago that he wanted to speed up the progress and couldn't wait, so he personally went out."

"Even the bishop, have you been dispatched?" Lynn was thoughtful.

The boss couldn't sit still, thinking that it must be because the person who came to investigate him was arrested by himself, and he was afraid that he would be exposed and fall short, so he wanted to speed up the progress, right?

"Did you find someone?"

Abner said, "I don't know, I haven't been to the Order for the past few days. However, since the bishops have made a move, they should be rewarded......."

Before he finished speaking, Abner's face suddenly changed, and his palm touched his waist.

Lynn, whose eyes had been locked on him, immediately noticed his abnormality: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Abner shook his head and looked at him deeply, "Now I believe it." ”

"The world may really be on your side."

"Just now, I felt a call." "The bishop is calling us to assemble through a brand," he said. ”

"Maybe the ceremony is really about to begin."

"Oh?" Lynn squinted and smiled, "Then, lead the way." ”

......

The Goddess of Starlight is the mainstream belief of the Divine Starlight Empire, and under the deliberate guidance of the Empire, this belief has slowly penetrated the Rhine region, replacing the former god in the minds of the locals, and now, the Rhine region has been integrated and established a kingdom, and the Starlight Goddess has naturally become the only mainstream.

In the city of Catalena, there are many churches dedicated to the goddess, and there are so many of them that you can see one on almost every street, and the larger ones are even the middle of the street.

With so many churches, it is impossible for each of them to be overcrowded, and those located on the corners of the city-state are the most easily forgotten.

In the northwest corner of the city of Catalena, for example, there is such an unfrequented church.

In the main hall, which was slightly dilapidated but still clean, a priest in a black robe stood in front of the statue of the goddess, tilting his head slightly, his cloudy eyes full of impenetrable light.

Behind him, a young man with a puzzled face asked strangely, "Sir, why are you in such a hurry to start the ceremony all of a sudden?" That person's desires haven't risen to an uncontrollable critical point, right? ”

The priest did not turn his head, but only responded in a vicissitudes of life: "It's too late. ”

"We've been noticed for our aggressive behavior. If we don't speed things up, I think there's a good chance that we won't have the opportunity to do it again. ”

The young man scratched his head, as if he understood or not.

"Well, a little earlier, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The priest sighed slightly.

"I hope so."

He folded his hands and prayed earnestly to the idol in front of him.

"This is your advent ceremony, please protect us and don't travel to the pool."
