During his time at the Crimson Keep, Murphy would often hear prayers.

Especially after the city's "temple district" successively settled in the Avalonian Church, the Winter Wolf Church, the Wolf God Eye Monastery, the Church of the Holy Light playing tickets, and a group of berserker priests who were seduced by the mountain people and rushed from the ice bay, various prayers have turned part of the vampire city into a so-called "holy place of faith".

While the words "vampire" and "faith" together always give the odd impression of pancake rolls with rice and steamed buns, it is indeed part of the current routine of the Crimson Keep, and in the now newly stabilized Transnesia, the mass spread of the faith is not a bad thing for the rulers.

After all, this is a world where there are real gods, and it is necessary to follow the local customs, you see that intellectuals like Lao Chen Tou will occasionally go to the Avalon Sanctuary to stay, of course, it is difficult to say whether Lao Chen Tou went to pursue faith or chat with Marianne.

Anyway, according to some gossip on the forum, Professor Chen and Marianne were seen walking together in the city in the evening, and more than once.

Feed!

That's enough of this baseless gossip! You gossip lovers, don't you even let go of people of Lao Chentou's age?

But considering that Murphy is now in the labyrinth where a group of evil goatmen thugs are located, it is no exaggeration to say that this filthy earth palace is the most evil and chaotic place Murphy has encountered since his rebirth, and now, in such a "evil crucible", he can clearly hear the sound of prayer.

It is not the kind of prayer that ordinary believers vaguely mix with their troubles and personal desires to tell the gods, but the kind of prayer that is very ethereal and can feel "holy" just by listening to the voice.

It comes out in Elfish, every byte is articulated clearly, and at the junction of each segment there is a tone similar to chanting or chanting to complete the perfect connection, which is definitely not a job that an ordinary believer can do.

In fact, Eugene Sr., a zealot of the church of Avalon, was not as good as Murphy would hear in this regard.

This is definitely a high priest of some sect here, I just don't know if she is praying for herself, or is she praying for shelter for the souls who are bound to be harmed imprisoned in this dungeon?

Or is it some evil goatman secret method?

From the killing just now, Murphy has confirmed that these goatmen carry a part of the astral filth on their bodies, and they are likely to perform depraved deeds in this earth palace, and even establish contact with some mysterious beings in the astral realm and even subspace.

And from the common physical mutations of the goatmen killed by Murphy, it is confirmed that this filth has been going on for a long time.

But in any case, after Murphy confirmed twice in a row that his soul state was normal and did not "collide with evil", and did not trigger the active counterattack of the Omega program, he frowned, carried two weapons, and approached the place where the voice sounded, accompanied by George, the head wolf of the astral plane.

Although there was no evidence, Murphy had a feeling that the voice of prayer was sounding here and there, and it was clearly drawing him over.

However, the Bafeng Special Earth Palace is a very complex three-dimensional labyrinth, it is very difficult to locate it here with sound, this ghost place has obviously existed for a very long time, it is a strange building built in a complex posture, and the goats have made even worse modifications to this three-dimensional structure in order to keep their evil secrets.

There are a lot of strange cover-ups used to confuse the vision, turning this terrifying labyrinth into a near-impassable "underground forbidden place".

It's not just outsiders who can get lost here, even some goatmen who can't find their way back to their stronghold because they have strayed into an alley, and the goatmen who were killed by Murphy just now are in this awkward position, they are obviously wandering around the large labyrinth without purpose.

Murphy speculated that it might be a "sacrificial ritual."

He learns from Tracy that the goatmen have always had a tradition of gladiatorial sacrifices, and if they don't make good use of such a powerful labyrinth, they are sorry for the evil in the goatmen's nature.

These rude and savage creatures will throw the poor people they have captured into the labyrinth, admiring their fear of being lost and their resistance to death, and by collecting this emotion of despair for some evil purpose.

There are similar evil rituals on this continent, which Tracy often talked about when she was in psionic classes for Murphy, and in the past few times, similar rituals have taken place on the borders of civilizations more than once, causing many horrific casualties.

This is also how some extremist cultists will please their "gods".

The vampire lords can be sure that no matter what the goats are doing here, this evil has been going on for hundreds of years under the cover of the Black Plague, and the despair and pain they have gathered from it is astronomical.

"The goats want to please an evil god, no, it's not quite right, they want to 'awaken' an evil god.

The dungeon was once the place of worship for the evil god, and it was abandoned at the end of the previous era, but the evil god left behind some depraved tricks that the goatmen could awaken if certain conditions were met.

Sounds evil, right?

But this is only one of the many evils that lurk around the Dark Mountains, but it is perhaps the closest to a realization of the catastrophe that could be triggered. ”

Just as Murphy pondered the question, the ethereal voice that had been praying just now suddenly stopped chanting and spoke in a gentle manner.

Murphy immediately stopped.

This passage perfectly answered the curiosity and speculation in his heart about the Bafeng Terra, but he did not say his curiosity at all, in other words, the lady in front of him guessed Murphy's curiosity.

To make it a little more terrifying, she read Murphy's mind.

This caused the vampire governor to frown and release a mind-closing technique, which she had learned from Trass and was often used by Trash to close her mind from being spied on by Murphy with the ability to see.

"Well, I can't hear your heart, the quick-witted, secret-full but sweet soul of the lover closed the door to me, saying that the face is born from the heart, with such a delicate heart, I think you are definitely a rare handsome person in the world."

The voice said with some regret:

"I'm sorry to talk to you this way, but I have to make sure you're you."

"There's a kind of 'prove I'm me' kind of nervousness to you."

Murphy complained, his cane and sword unsheathed, and the wolf at his feet also made a fierce gesture of pounce, and as one man and one pet bypassed the obstacle of the wall in front of him, he saw the owner of the voice that spoke to him.

A woman.

A strange woman!

A woman who is very strange in every way!

Her upper body maintained the slenderness and grace that are characteristic of elves, and she also wore a silver sacrificial robe dotted with very special spots of light, so that she would not be obscured from seeing in this dark place.

However, this is a shadow elf, so her sacrificial robe is not so serious, it looks like some kind of special "erotic suit", and the sacrificial robe that should be holy is covered with strange cutouts.

But it's not ugly.

Very delicately stuck in the elusive central position of "lewd" and "holy", making her look both sacred and astringent, this kind of ruthless work cannot be done without hundreds of years of dark literary and artistic accumulation, it can only be said that the "good reputation" of the shadow elves in this industry is really not groundless.

Just this dress to the Avalon church was enough for old Eugene to shout "blasphemy".

But Murphy did not let his guard down because of the strange temperament of this woman, because against the backdrop of her wonderful upper body, her lower body looked quite terrifying.

That's a spider!

It's like a man with only the upper body and a large spider with a severed head, and the lower half of its body, although it is also embellished with many wonderful gems and accessories made of gold, silver and bronze, still cannot hide its horror.

Six sharp, tough, and hideous spider legs, with claw cuffs and gold rings, supported this unique woman's body.

She maintained a prayerful posture with her back to Murphy against an ancient wall, exposing her lower body almost completely to Murphy's eyes, making the vampire lord extremely vigilant.

And when he moved his feet around the flank, he was stunned to find that in addition to the two hands on the upper half of his body, there were two sharp scythe-like slashing limbs where the "abdomen" was connected to the spider's body.

This discovery adds a touch of ferocity to this already strange fellow.

Judging by the four elven knives and a priest's staff placed in the hands of this "spider woman", as well as a spider shield in the style of faith made from the carapace of some kind of creature, this guy is definitely not just a simple "clergy".

Murphy could imagine her astonishing gesture as she appeared on the battlefield and began to kill with her monstrous powers.

But at this time, Murphy saw a certain pattern on the edge of the spider girl's sacrificial robe, which was the pattern of the shadow spider, thanks to Adele's previous description of the characteristics of the thirteen families of the shadow elves, so that Murphy immediately recognized it.

The vampire lord's heart moved, and he remembered the information he had obtained when he had spied on Lady Bernice talking to her daughter, and he spoke:

"You're from the Mejewa family? Coupled with this strange gesture, you are the legendary 'Weaver of Life'? It is said that you can predict fate, but why are you in this place thousands of miles away from the Eternal Rift?

I've heard that the Lifeweaver is the most important core figure of every Shadow Elf family, does your presence here mean that the Mejewa family is preparing to launch some kind of action near the Barren Mountain? ”

"No, Lord Murphy, you already know the fact of the destruction of the Mejewa family from other sources, you are just trying to deceive me, what a handsome and cunning leader."

After Murphy's question, the lifeweaver girl, who had maintained a prayerful posture, finally opened her eyes.

A lady with such a strange body must have a strange pair of eyes to deserve this distortion, and when she looked at Murphy, the vampire lord also saw the guy's black pupil on the left and white on the right.

These eyes once again embellished this strange woman with a hint of mystery, but to be honest, it was not ugly, and with her long white hair coiled up, there was a sense of indifference of a royal sister.

"But the past of those sufferings is meaningless, and I have taken my surviving cowardly people through the Dark Mountains to this barren land, and fate has revealed it to me, and now, at that moment of prophecy has been fulfilled, I finally see you in this dark place, Lord Murphy.

All I can say is that I am very honored. ”

The lady, who was "dangerous" in every sense of the word, was polite, bowing down to Murphy with the etiquette of a shadow elf, not even using her must-have psionic powers to prevent Murphy from throwing the reconnaissance spell on her.

As the information of the character card pulsed, the creature's message was quickly reflected in Murphy's eyes:

Name: [Weaver] Anu Willanther Mejewa

Template: Level 37 Boss Creature: Silver/Gold [Weak, Critical, Damaged, Rank Slip]

Class: Level 30 Sword Minstrel / Level 30 Chosen Girl / Artist - Classical Music Specialization

Rating: Extremely Dangerous and Neutral

"It's you!"

Murphy had previously learned about the kidnapping and disappearance of the Lifeweaver Maiden of the Mejewa family from the records of the young players receiving the mission, and now the young players have approached the Bafont Canyon under the leadership of several NPCs to save this guy.

However, judging from the scene in front of Murphy's eyes, this guy was not captured by the goatman at all!

After all, with the power of the local goatman's black iron rank floating up and down, where does he have the ability to catch a golden powerhouse? Even if the life-weaving girl in front of her slipped in strength because of her injury, it was not something that a group of goatmen thugs who worshiped evil gods could touch.

In other words, she arranged a "kidnapping" with the purpose of coming to this underground palace.

No!

From the words of the god-babbling lifeweaver girl just now, you can tell that she is waiting here specifically to meet Murphy here.

Hiss.

It sounds scary and powerful.

Although Tracy's psionic master has been complaining about the unreliability of prophecy psionic powers, at this moment, Murphy really felt the methods of these "prophets" who specialize in prophecy, and this life-weaver girl must have known that Murphy would definitely appear in the Bafeng Special Underground Palace.

Knowing this, Murphy felt uncomfortable.

He didn't like the feeling of being arranged to meet by someone else, and to use a not-so-proper example, it was almost like being forced to go on a blind date.

Murphy wanted to turn around and leave, but it's all here, right?

"You risk the loss of the backbone of your people and the imminent collapse of your people to meet me in this way, and although I don't like it, I do feel 'sincerity'."

The Vampire Lord took a step back and asked:

"So, Lady Veranther, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Fate!"

Just looking at the upper half of her body, the weaving girl who is very royal sister Fan moved her limbs, and said with a serious expression:

"On the night when the city of Mejewa was breached by fallen creatures, my noble people were displaced, and I mourned in the catastrophe of slaughter, I saw the direction of fate, and it was so real that it was as if the world was whispering to me about the future.

It was a wonderful experience I had since I became a weaver 313 years ago.

Compared to it, the destruction of the city of Mejwa is not worth mentioning at all.

My clan has been degraded for a long time anyway, but it doesn't matter!

The past is meaningless, the future is precious, Governor Murphy, and I am here to speak with you to arrange for the 'rebirth' of the Mejwa family.

Yes.

I want to be your loyal servant!

I will dedicate all I have to you by the will of my God, join you in your destiny and share in your greatness, so that my fallen fellow citizens may have a chance of surviving the troubled times that are about to begin. ”

“？”

Murphy was shocked by what he said.

Although it sounds like a real good thing for a golden powerhouse to take the initiative to vote, it is strange how to look at this scene in front of him, this kind of cake delivered to the door looks sweet, but if you really eat it, you may have a stomach.

"I refuse!"

Murphy did not hesitate, and simply waved his hand neatly and said:

"I have just ended my master-servant contract with another lady, and my soul is still weary from the passing of my old past, and I have neither the ability nor the will to accept the allegiance of a powerful lifeweaver.

I'll get it straight.

I don't have any crush on the Shadow Elves, and I don't believe you, you should know why. ”

"Yes, I know."

In the face of Murphy's refusal, the Weaver Girl was not disappointed, it seemed that this was also in her expectation, she looked at Murphy, and said seriously:

"It's something to do with 'dusk,' right?"

Murphy didn't answer, just looked at her calmly.

Willencer knew he had guessed right.

She moved her monstrous body forward, as if sensing the disgust and wariness of the "alien" in Murphy's eyes, and the lifeweaver let out a hoarse laugh, and she made a unique gesture that followed the swaying of the spiritual energy around her body like a spell.

After she took three steps, the monstrous image of the Spider-Woman dissipated, replaced by a Shadow Elf Lady in a sacrificial robe, no longer with a twisted body, but with six arms around her slender and seductive body, like a humanoid spider walking upright.

"Maybe this shape will make you feel more pleasing to the eye."

Having completed the "transformation", Villanzer approached Murphy and whispered:

"If your enemy is twilight, you'll have a stalwart companion on this hunt.

I've figured out their origins through prophecy and discernment along the way, and the destruction of Mejwa was the fault of the twilight, and my gods didn't tell me much, but I knew that the miscellaneous had sent their dark power to destroy my homeland, just to test their power.

I know that the leader of that faction calls himself a 'scholar.'"

"Another Twilight faction! Oh my God, are those guys mitosis? ”

Murphy complained bigly:

"You've got bad news for me, ma'am, and now counting what I know, four factions have appeared before my eyes at dusk. Well, if you want to show your sincerity, then tell me, what do you see in the prophecy of my fate? ”

"Future!"

The Weaver Girl said in an uplifting tone:

"An ambiguous future."

"Is it worth giving everything you have to just 'obscure'?"

Murphy complained expressionlessly:

"You prophets are really unreliable."

"You don't understand, Lord Murphy, that the world you see is full of light and therefore does not understand the pain of darkness obscuring the way ahead, and that a vague future is enough for me to stake everything I have compared to the destruction and withering I have seen."

The Weaver Maiden whispered:

"I don't see a clear shaping of fate in the future, but I know that you are the most important part of it, and you stand in the light and shadow of the sea of stars, and even the Spider Lady will bow down to you. I know you have a lot of questions right now, and I also know that loyalty and acceptance are not low-hanging fruit gifts.

I'm patiently waiting for you to trust me, and we have plenty of time before we parted tonight, so ask questions, Mistress Murphy, to your personal prophet.

From now on, the future I see will only open up to you. ”
