The headquarters of the Church of Light and Night is located on a hill east of Wright City, the capital of the Wright Empire, and the scenery is already amazing.

A staircase of nearly 1,000 steps hangs down from the top of the mountain, and legend has it that there are 999 steps in total.

The color is also very meaningful.

Because the staircase is made of dark black black jade and white marble, which resembles white marble.

On both sides of the staircase, there are statues made of marble made of the same innumerable number, and the life-size figures of the gods who once made great contributions to the Church of Light and Night stand here.

The long staircase connects the temple complex at the top of the hill, and from the bottom of the mountain, it becomes thinner and thinner in the field of vision, until it becomes a long, straight, black-and-white line.

It's just that Mark looks, suddenly feels a bit like a cobra?

Before coming here, Mark was stunned and had another daydream.

Same nightmare, same loss. If it weren't for the fact that he had prepared a large amount of spiritual essence decomposed from the demon general's body on the ship, such a spiritual defect alone would have been enough for him to die suddenly before he came here.

The Ex Macha was placed in Helena's exclusive dock for safekeeping, while Conrad stayed on board.

Mark Ming took Helena to the bottom of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there are also two churches of light and night, the size is also not small, no matter which church, there are 100 meters long, more than 40 meters wide, 50 meters high exaggerated size, this is for the general public to worship.

When Mark and the two walked towards the mountain road, their alternative painting style immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

"Occultist" has long become a sensitive word in the repeated orders of the church's top brass.

It's not that it's bad, but that once the guards meet, they will be given a grand reception.

When Mark appeared in the square in front of the staircase, dressed in the black robes of an occultist and with the six-pointed star emblem, a group of three knights trotted towards them.

Their arrival did not stimulate the nerves of the other believers around them too much. After all, they wore gowns embroidered with gold trim on a white background, no armor, but a rapier that was more used on ceremonial occasions.

The three knights bowed slightly, and the etiquette alone was impeccable, and the handsome young knight who took the lead said, "Hello! Dear Occultist, I am Alger Ham, and it is a pleasure to serve you. ”

"Hello! I'm Carib Cthulhu, and I'm here at the invitation of the Night Church. Mark was actually twitching frantically inside as he spoke. I always feel that this is another social death experience.

He swore that next time, even if he used a pseudonym like [good names are taken up by dogs], he would not use such nonsense pseudonyms. What's more, this world may really be able to connect with the [Old Master], and he always calls Cthulhu his old man's god name, if his old man really travels through time and space to beat him, then he will go crazy.

Well, crazy in every sense of the word.

At this time, the three of them showed a subtle expression on their faces that they had won the jackpot, and this time, it was the three knights who bowed and saluted together: "Your Excellency, we have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Mark expected that the other party would take it very seriously, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

The knight, Alger, made a gesture into the distance that outsiders didn't understand, and suddenly the atmosphere of the whole square changed.

From several guardhouses around the square, figures turned into black streamers and shot out.

Many tourists who were sightseeing noticed that there were more night guards wearing uniforms with gold trim on a black background.

The epaulettes on their left shoulder were rather wide, with a small black cloak hanging down from it, covering the elbow of their left hand.

As soon as these night guards appeared, they began to disperse the crowd.

"The guest of honor of the Lady of the Night is coming, please retreat quickly if you are not interested. Thank you for your cooperation. With a grim face and grim expressions, they dispersed the tourists and the do-gooders.

Of course, this inevitably attracts curious glances from passers-by from afar.

In just a minute or two, from the front of Mark to the stairs, not only the crowd dispersed, but there was also an exaggerated carpet more than 100 meters long and 5 meters wide.

Other houses are red carpets, and the goddess of the night is black carpets.

The carpet appeared almost out of nowhere. Mark didn't react, and it emerged from under the square on its own.

Led by Alger, Mark stepped on the carpet with the illusion that he was stepping on black velvet.

Twelve night guards were heavily armed on either side of the carpet, holding a long-barreled revolver in their right hand and a short sword about 40 centimeters long in their left hand, facing each other in pairs, and the short swords were held at 45 degrees to form the classic 'Sword Gate'.

As Mark walked past with Helena, he raised his dagger upwards to open the door to welcome him.

At the end of the carpet is a middle-aged judge of light standing with his hands in his hands.

The knight Alger just now completed the handover here.

The Inquisitor in front of him had a large, well-groomed back and a face with a fairly gentle and amiable face. He wears a black bodysuit with wonderful black leather armor. In addition to the same sword and revolver pinned to his waist, there was also a lantern that was not lit.

"Welcome, guest of honor of the Church of the Night—" he said in a loud voice and whispered in a whisper in the second half: "Your Excellency Mark Destiny!" ”

Mark bared his teeth and said to himself: I know......

Fate is sometimes a circle.

You've come full circle, and you still can't escape if you want to.

Mark can decide his future, but he can't solve his past.

Since the original owner was born in the Church of Light and Night, this bloodline, this evil fate, is not so easy to get rid of.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Mark nodded slightly: "Thank you, this is also my honor." ”

"Hello! My name is Abner Miller. Next, I will guide you to the Great Chapel. Abner made a gesture of please.

Looking at the long mountain road in front of him, Mark was still at a loss for the first second.

Right away, he doesn't have to think about it.

After he followed him up the first staircase, a solid black mist rose from under the feet of Abner, him, and Helena.

The black mist not only supported their feet, but also intimately raised the half-human-high handrails that surrounded the four directions.

As soon as Mark and Helena grasped the handrail, the magic power handrail ladder automatically ascended smoothly along the railing next to the staircase.

Abner is quite proud: "The Night Lady can do anything. ”

"Indeed."

"Well, it's kind of offensive to say. This time, Your Excellency has won the favor of the Night Lady, but unfortunately the Lady of Light has a lot of opinions about you. Therefore, if you encounter a high-level Celebrant of Light and find that the other party is a little rude, please be lenient. ”

A drop of soybean sweat ran down Mark's forehead.

If he could, he really didn't want to see the original owner's relatives. Let's not talk about whether it will show his feet or anything, just because his family is a light faction, he jumped to the side of the night...... He wasn't sure if his old man would want to kill him.

The lyrics are like that, he can't change them to 'to whimpering and roaring in the light', right?

This operation, there is no smell of anything.

Rising all the way up the mountain, Mark glanced at the tall and glorious Great Sanctuary of Light, and he knew that he would not have much chance to mix there in his life.

He fled into the darkness without looking back.

The Great Church of the Night is a black replica of the Great Church of Light.

In appearance, the two are exactly the same, the difference is in the material.

The exterior wall is made of obsidian-like black jade, and you can feel a cold breath from afar, and from the grand entrance that has opened through the hole, under the gaze of 36 night guards, follow Abner into the Great Hall of the Night, which feels really a little subtle.

"Ahead is the main altar of the Night Lady, Lord Destini, your retinue, why don't you come to the side hall to rest first?" Abner gently proposed.

"Okay." Mark nodded to Helena.

Helena obediently left with Abner.

Waiting in front of the main hall was ......

"Hello, Your Excellency Destini. I am Sigourney Knight, the supreme spokesperson of the Night Lady in the mortal world. The Night Lady has issued an oracle that you will be her favorite family as long as you join the Night Church. Sigourney blinked, "And we'll be comrades." ”

The muscles in the corners of Mark's eyes twitched subtly.

According to common sense, if you take refuge in the world's strongest twin goddesses, this transaction will be profitable and not lost.

It's a pity that Mark has his own ideas.

This is not only Mr. Arrogant's words, but also his own judgment.

Before he came, he searched the gifts of the god of knowledge and found the phrase 'millennia'. Some of the secret techniques were recorded in the book, but they were crossed out. The reason is that this secret technique is based on the power of a god who has fallen.

Mark also found out that in the last millennium, the world's largest denomination was not the Church of Light and Night.

Who the hell is this information that has become taboo and erased from the history books.

If nothing else, next year will be the beginning of a new millennium.

The twin goddesses are so manifest, and they are generous enough to woo such a little rookie as him, really have no other ideas?

Mark reproduced a little embarrassed: "The world is so big, I want to go out and see it." ”

Nate didn't get angry, but showed a look of relief: "It's okay." The Lady of the Night has also commanded that as long as you are in the realm of the Night, you will be our most honored guest. ”

Mark breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it's time to sell crabs.
