As Siug answered, the black sun above the sculpture flickered slightly, and the obscure light and shadow emanating from it still sprinkled evenly on Shug's body, and the face of the prophet Murnabi standing on the other side of the sculpture also flashed a dark shadow.

Schuge's answer was, of course, sincere. Chinese Net

But only he knows that the answers he gives are based not only on his current situation, but also on his past.

However, for the members of the Black Sun Society who were present, it may take a lot of time to understand the term "atheist".

The prophet Murnaby felt the change in the secret rite, and at this moment, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face uncontrollably—Shug's answer was verified by the secret ritual, which meant that the gods of Van En really did not have half a place in his heart.

This not only means that Xiuge has the prerequisites for joining the Black Sun Society, but also verifies the correctness of the Black Sun Society's past predictions and decisions, and Murnaby even feels that from today onwards, in the entire Black Sun Society, the status of the prophet and the "Messenger of Ten Thousand Faces" will be improved like never before!

It's not just Mulnaby who has changed his expression.

When the other people present found out that Xiuge had actually passed the verification of the secret ritual, their expressions began to change.

While the members of the Black Sun Formation reacted differently because Xiuge had passed the first test of the secret ritual, Xiuge, who was standing in the center of the banquet hall and was under the magical light of this Black Sun secret ritual, was also using his ability to keenly capture the changes around him.

The subtle movements of these people, the whispers to each other, and the different changes in their demeanor are all encompassed by Xiuge's perception.

He noticed that several people who believed in Calron, the lord of the sea, looked at him more eagerly, especially the two hotly dressed and scantily revealing women, one of whom had even licked his lips, and a suspicious flush appeared on his delicate face, making one wonder what they were thinking.

Behind the prophet Mulnaby, there were already people who knew him well and gently patted him on the shoulder with their hands in celebration.

The twins from the Geselle family looked surprised, as if they couldn't believe that Shug had never believed in any gods.

The "Lecturer" who brought him to the Black Forest Fort was smiling, and it seemed that he was one of the masterminds of the Salem City tragedy, and he was very confident in Xiuge.

On the other side, Kzlov was now looking at him a little strangely, he should be the only one among the people present who was always wary of Xiuge.

"Ahem!"

Herbert, who was presiding over the ceremony, coughed lightly twice, successfully suppressing the agitation from the crowd, and then he smiled satisfactorily at Hug, "Very well, Mr. Hug Ernst, you have not disappointed the Society...... Then we have two more questions."

"Please."

Xiuge nodded, his expression still calm.

But in fact, his vigilance against everyone present has been raised again, and the reason is very simple-the metal disc did not slow down because he passed the first test, but further accelerated, and its current state is very similar to that of Xiuge in the past when facing huge risks and hidden dangers, and with the high-speed rotation of this metal disk, the magic power escaping from the center of the disc is also constantly spreading to all corners of Xiuge's spiritual world.

Judging by Xiuge's past experience, this can already be regarded as the "preparation" of the metal disc itself.

So, in the midst of Xiuge's contemplation, Herbert threw out the second question.

"Mr. Schug Ernst, please tell us, are you still your old self? If not, when did it change?"

As Herbert asked, the black sun on the magic sculpture in front of Hug began to flicker and rotate slowly, it became more profound, and as Herbert had said before, this strange black sun seemed to be transforming towards the "eye".

Hug stared straight at it, as far as he could

Even though the circular shadow looked pitch black, Shug could still feel the strange changes that were taking place.

He felt that this shadow was changing into a strange passage connecting some distant time and space, and at the end of this passageway, an extremely strange force was being thrown at him.

It seemed to come from some kind of being's gaze.

Something different from a human being or an intelligent being, but with a distinctly scrutinizing gaze.

It was also at this moment that Xiuge clearly felt a power that spread from the outside world towards his spiritual world.

He originally thought that this was an invasion similar to that of the Descendants of the Abyss, but when they entered his spiritual world, Xiuge unexpectedly discovered that this power actually brought him a strange sense of familiarity.

Like some kind of provocative behavior with a strong evil taste, this force did not directly collide with Xiuge's magic after entering his spiritual world, but followed the tide of Xiuge's magic around his metal disc lightly, and then suddenly reversed direction and crashed into the direction of the metal disk.

Of course, this weak force was shattered by the rotation of the metal disc, and at the same time, all the members of the Dream Shelter reacted at this moment, especially the Mirror Messenger and the Court Hound, both of which were extremely excited and joyful, and the Hound even went directly to the "room" of the Mirror Messenger, where he happily circled around.

This is not a temptation or attack at all.

On the contrary, it can be understood as "greeting".

After realizing the particularity of this power, Xiuge felt the gaze peeking through the secret ritual again, and a certain extremely subtle feeling arose.

"Did you say you went out to this kind of place?"

Shuge "looked at each other" with the black sun above the ritual, but he had no way to ask questions under the watchful eye of the members of the Black Sun Society.

Seeing that Herbert was about to ask a second question, Hug quickly gathered his attention, and then gave an answer that was accurate, but obviously wrong in terms of process and timing.

"As you have asked, I am indeed no longer the Schug Ernst I used to be...... When I left the city of Seren, it had changed completely."

At the moment when Xiuge finished answering, the black sun above the secret instrument immediately trembled twice, and in the strange light and shadow that trembled slightly, another magic power "instilled" in the direction of Xiuge, and this time, Xiuge was surprised to find that it contained a clear message.

That's a short sentence, to be exact.

"Go on."

At this moment, Xiuge was finally sure that the only person who could give this kind of information could be someone who claimed to be the "Lord of All Faces".

Although Hug didn't know why Theseus was "communicating" with him in such a particular form, since he gave a rare clear hint, Hug was reassured.

He withdrew his gaze and looked to his side.

Under the manipulation of Theseus, there would naturally be no problems with the reaction of this Black Sun Secret Ritual, and the people of the Black Sun Society immediately became more satisfied after discovering that Xiuge had once again passed the test of the Esoteric Ritual, especially the lecturer and other spellcasters affiliated with the "Abyss Historiography".

In their ears, Shuge's answer, as well as the reaction of the Secret Ritual, clearly revealed the fact that the Black Sun Society's plans for the city of Salem had been successfully completed.

This time, even Herbert, the second person in charge of the association, had a satisfied smile on his face, because as the presiding officer of the Black Sun Secret Ritual, he could completely feel the slightest magic fluctuation in the secret ritual.

As a spellcaster who was expected to hit the deep sea level, Herbert was sure that the state of the secret ritual that the alliance had been using all this time was unprecedentedly good, and even the flow of magic in it had become staggeringly smooth, and under its effect, the magic in the entire banquet hall seemed to resonate, a slight vibration on the spiritual level

It's simply the most beautiful music!

And this reaction of the secret ritual proves that Shug Ernst has indeed passed the test, and even he has been recognized by the black sun in advance!

"Good! Very good!"

Herbert complimented, "Well, Mr. Schugg, we have one last question."

The host calmed himself down for a moment, and then asked with some caution, "Please answer us, are you ...... now?" From another world?"

「？」

The moment he heard this question, Xiuge was shocked.

This kind of question is a "slide that must not be touched" for any visitor from another world, but the other party threw it out directly, which is somewhat surprising.

However, Theseus' prompt followed.

The prompt is still concise, just a short sentence.

"Normal answer."

So Xiuge narrowed his eyes, and then nodded heavily, "Yes, I don't belong to this world."

The moment he heard Shug's answer, Herbert's expression became extremely exciting, as the presiding officer of the secret ceremony, he could have judged the result by feeling the flow of magic, but at this moment, he couldn't help but look at the black sun hanging at the top of the magic sculpture with the other members of the association.

As before, after Shuge gave his answer, the light and shadow of the black sun flickered lightly twice, and then everything went on as usual.

But at this moment, this calm feedback became a fire that ignited the enthusiasm, and even Kzlov's face appeared with a look that could be called surprise, and the members of the Society, who were already extremely enthusiastic about Shuge, now almost wanted to rush to Shuge and offer him a hug.

"Everyone! Ladies and gentlemen!"

Herbert's voice trembled slightly, and after asking these three incredible questions himself, and receiving the same incredible answers from Shuge, the second head of the Society was already at the top of the excitement—he knew that the prophecy that had guided the Black Sun Society for so many years was about to be fulfilled, and even some of them had already been fulfilled!

The young man in front of him, who has been exposed to the power of the Abyss, has been reborn in the city of Seren, has a strange soul, and can be recognized by the Lost Secret Ritual is the best proof of this!

Herbert believed that this night was enough to be a watershed moment in the history of the Black Sun Society!

He raised his hand, pressed it for a moment, and then said loudly, "So, let's take the last step......

Herbert looked at Hug again, and there was only fanaticism in his eyes, which were originally wise and deep, "Mr. Hug Ernst, or rather, the child of the abyss, who symbolizes the rising of the black sun, I extend my sincerest greetings and invitations to you on behalf of the black sun...... The Society is hungry for your joining, and all the members of the Society are hungry for your guidance!"

There was no immediate response, he was waiting for Theseus' "attitude".

"Promise, and be ready."

This time, Hug clearly felt a chilling coldness in the words transmitted by Theseus, which was rare for Shuge, and he felt an undisguised emotional bias in Theseus's words.

This eccentric deity, who in Shuge's past cognition, was able to see everything as "fun", now seems to be in a state of extreme depression.

A simple message, but it seems to cover the thin crisp ice above the turbulent undercurrent.

The speed of the metal disc has once again reached its limit, and the Dream Shelter creations such as the Mirror Messenger and the Running Mouse, who have also received Theseus's prompts, are ready at this moment, and even the existence of Calron's Touch, which cannot easily express its emotions, is now beginning to expand the coverage of hard skin, as if they are ready to hunt.

"Knock knock! Knock knock!"

With the beating of his heart, majestic magic power continued to emerge, and they maintained Xiuge's mental state and constantly calmed his emotions.

So he raised his gaze and nodded softly at Herbert.

"I agree."

The moment he heard Hugg's response, all the members of the banquet hall took two steps back, making enough space for Shug, and Herbert's eyes welled up with tears of excitement, and he gripped his palm vigorously, so that a delicate staircase of magic formed next to the magic sculpture, connecting the ground, the black sun at the top of the sculpture, and the statue of the goddess Mel.

"In that case...... Mr. Hug Ernst, please come forward!"

"Pick up the chains, impale the body of the traitor, and accept the gift of association!"

With Herbert's words, the huge sculpture that had been transformed into a physical entity under the influence of magic slowly vibrated slowly, and under the gaze of the tiny black sun, the top of the sculpture slowly cracked, and a delicate long metal staff appeared in it.
