Behind them, the Mosquito Mage swept away the group of apprentices, but alone stopped the priest named Martin Griffiths.

"Mr. Martin, do you feel anything different about using the [Angel Descent] ritual in the secret realm this time?"

The young priest did not answer his question directly, but first praised a name in an aria with fanatical eyes:

"Praise be to the great Angel of Power, Athea!"

Only then did he answer his question:

"This ceremony was not particularly different.

The rules from the World Rift and the old god Lilith, though extremely high-level, are not the right thing.

The source of life in the Blood Source Secret Realm may be able to heal all physical injuries, but it cannot exempt me from the side effects of practicing the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven.

If you want to compensate for the price, there is a high probability that you still need the kind of 'eternal blood' and 'elixir' that can achieve the miracle of eternal life.

The only feeling is probably only mentioned by those predecessors before, Lilith and the power of the creator seem to be very compatible, and the angel descends to maintain a lot longer than outside. ”

The [Mosquito Mage] was not surprised that he did not open and close his mouth about the Creator like other clerics, but praised an unknown angel, and was obviously used to it for a long time.

The previous 15 test subjects all had the same symptoms as him.

Because this is a side effect of the Gospel of the Kingdom!

"Cognition is forcibly modified, and I can't help but praise angels, but it's really a terrible price."

[Mosquito Mage] thinks that it is easier to accept the side effects of his own "Book of Giant Bugs" like bugs.

Is that legendary forbidden knowledge emanating from the Creator strong?

Of course it's ridiculously strong!

If it is used well, it is almost equivalent to achieving the extremely high rank "Holy Descent" effect in one step.

Let a powerful spirit from heaven descend into his body and fight for himself.

There is also a fight with the second realm of swordsmanship [Divine Vision].

However, whether it is the harsh requirements of the promotion ceremony or the side effects after the practice, it is difficult for some big figures in the cardinal to accept.

Take this obvious side effect: praise the angels.

Only the transcendent of the temple sequence can learn this forbidden knowledge.

But every time I spoke, I couldn't help but praise the unknown angel I read about in the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Know that the Bound Creator is the only God worth believing in.

For a clergyman affiliated with the Church, this is nothing short of blasphemy!

If you can't get rid of this side effect, whether you are a cardinal of the Cardinals or a saint of the Council of God, you will surely be burned at the stake by angry believers.

Moreover, if you are unable to balance this primal instinct for a long time, you will gradually become "superstitious", convert to the angel from the depths of your heart, and become a brainless fanatic, willing to sacrifice everything for Him.

This side effect alone is also unbearable for the clergy.

Now the top priority of some high-level people who are already young is to avoid the cost of studying the "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" and touch the divine realm step by step.

For now, Lilith, the Mother of Creation, may be the most likely to help them make this wish come true.

The Mosquito Mage nodded to the young priest.

"I see, Mr. Martin, go back and rest, and do the next experiment in three days."

No harvest is expected, if it is really so easy to achieve results, it will not be stuck in the last step for hundreds of years.

But these people have always done a good job of secrecy.

All participants in the experiments of the "Eternal Life Project" are required to enter into the strictest contracts, and must not reveal a word to those who do not matter.

If information is forcibly extracted from their souls with the help of supernatural abilities, it will also cause self-destruction on the spot.

Even if Byron had the intention of catching them and torturing them, he would not only fail to do so, but would also startle them.

The Mosquito Mage watched the gray-robed priest leave, and then looked at the cave that had been resealed by a blood-colored light barrier.

He took out a notebook of experiments from his pocket, sketched a few strokes on it, and then solemnly wrote down a line:

"'Project Immortality' Experiment No. 17, Baron Byron Tudor of Riptide Castle, Codename: Living Dependents."

At this time, Byron had already led people along the mountain tunnel on the surface of the island and entered the secret realm of blood source located underground.

cracking sound

A swarm of black bats fluttered their wings and flew out of their heads.

When the group saw the scene here, except for Alfred, who had been here many times before, everyone else couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

[Chameleon] Jacqueline directly said what most people think:

"It's hard to imagine that on such a remote island, there could be a huge underground city.

It is also very different from the style of the indigenous city-states, more like an ancient complex of buildings in the Old World. ”

In front of them, a dense black Gothic complex like a jungle appeared, like thorny arrows reaching into the sky.

The minaret is high, with pointed arches, large windows and stained glass depicting mythological tales of the old god Lilith.

There are also pointed ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, and slender bundle columns, which create a sense of lightness and slenderness for the whole city.

At the tips of all the towers is a pure black iron cross.

These black crosses seem to be some kind of holy emblem, but they do not have the sacred meaning of a church, but at first glance people subconsciously believe that they are terrible execution racks.

It is particularly suitable for the "punishment of piercing" that makes people talk about it.

In particular, there is an illusory blood moon that always floats over the city, as if it is sinking, dyeing the city blood-colored and freezing it forever at night.

At a glance, the whole city is as dead and silent as a mausoleum, which makes people feel frightened.

Alfred explains to Byron:

"According to the information obtained from the Order's previous explorations, this should be a city projection of the Daredevil Kingdom ruled by the old god Lilith in the original Age of Mythology.

Before the Silver Age, Daredevil was the ruling class in Lilith's realm.

The current title of knighthood comes from that period, and it seems that there was only an earl's title at the beginning, and then it was slowly expanded to what it is now.

The owner of this territory seems to have been called [Piercing Prince] Tsepes, whose life is unknown, but it is known that he is particularly fond of imprisoning his enemies.

But we have never been able to find a corresponding figure in the history books of the Old World.

The civilizational blockade of the Church for a whole thousand years has annihilated everything in the age of mythology. ”

Many transcendents are vaguely aware that at the end of the Age of Mythology and the beginning of the Silver Age, there was a cataclysm that caused Ragnarok.

But no one knows what's going on.

It is only known that since then, the church has started a high-pressure rule that spans thousands of years, and throughout the Dark Ages, most of the civilization of the Silver Continent has almost come to a standstill.

That level of strict regulation in all directions is like the spark of any civilization that invites the prying eyes of the unspeakable in the darkness and invites unforeseen disasters.

Even self-emasculation is not spared again and again.

During that time, all heresies were strictly forbidden, and not only the history books of the previous era were burned.

Even the corresponding authority in the sea of the collective human subconscious has been forcibly locked up by the Church.

So much so that the Blood Thirsty Order failed to find information about the historical figures of this mythical era from the "Key to All-Knowing", the public library of the [Silver Law].

"It's a shame."

Every time he encounters a historical clue that was cut off because of the closure of the church, Byron couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"It is a remarkable courage for the Church to continue to lay a dead hand on [historians] and historians for a thousand years.

In the dark millennium that has just passed a few years, the dark wizards have been suppressed the most, and the second should be those towers who are trying to discover the truth of history.

I dare assert that it won't be 100 years before the church's reputation will be stinking.

Referring to the experience of previous lives, counting the entire history of 5,000 years, how many rulers dared to kill historians?

Even the Sima clan, who is the floor of the royal family, didn't kill it.

Fortunately, he didn't kill it, and the official history recorded: Zhaodang Street killed the king.

If killed, the wild history records: Zhaodang Street tried Jun, Jun did not obey, strong, Jun collapsed and died.

Or, the Giant Field History Record: Zhaodang Street Licking"

Stop, it's getting more and more outrageous.

Byron stopped his loose thoughts.

The official history may not necessarily be true, but the wild history must be wild enough, and there is no wildest, only wilder.

No one can be strong forever, and in the past few years, under pressure and resistance, most of the various taboos of the dark millennium have been gradually lifted.

Coupled with internal divisions, when the church can no longer cover the sky with one hand, it may be the time when the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, plus the reckoning of murder.

Just as they had just set foot in this ancient city.

"Whew——!"

In the deep alley covered with a layer of blood light nearby, there was a sudden howl of a wild beast.

Soon, several strange-shaped monsters appeared in front of them.

The body is rickety, the skin is gray, the palms and soles of the feet are covered with cold and shining claws, and the smell of corpses is thick all over the body.

It's a group of genuine [Grotesque Ghouls]!

On the other side of the alley, there were several terrible wolf howls, and slowly out of the alley were four or five pitch-black wolves taller than bison, but their faces were half like wolves and half like people.

This is obviously a group of degraded and depraved [werewolves].

Moreover, they are not of a high level, and the highest is only a low sequence, and they are a little hesitant to face enemies that far outnumber them.

"Remember, don't be left alone here, don't shed blood, and there will be no danger if you go with the big army."

It's the same as the "Treasure Island" that Byron and Violet cleared last time.

The reason for the formation of many secret realms, forbidden areas, and special zones is because the gap between the material world and the essentia sea has been accidentally opened.

As a result, in a relatively closed area, there are not only various bizarre existences in human history and fantasy.

Like those grotesque evil spirits, the confrontation between divinity and beastliness, order and chaos has formed all kinds of strange taboos.

Hearing the reminder of [Blood Red Whiskey], the taboo of the Blood Source Secret Realm that had been repeatedly told before coming in automatically appeared in everyone's hearts:

"1. The city is divided into two parts, the outer lower city and the inner upper city, and in the middle of the upper city there is a screaming well, and the source of life in it can heal all physical wounds.

As many sources as you take, you have to pay back ten times the blood, and the blood of the first-order transmutation can be exchanged for one to one.

This is also one of the best materials to support the [Ritual Blood Feast Holy Grail].

2. The whole city is filled with all kinds of beasts, among which ghouls, werewolves, goatmen, batmen, and mothmen are the most numerous.

However, as long as there are more of your side in the field of vision, they will not be attacked, otherwise they will definitely be attacked.

3. All grotesques are extraordinarily bloodthirsty, and once they smell the fresh smell of human blood, it is possible to attract several blocks of beasts to besiege at the same time, breaking through the critical point of quantitative comparison. ”

Every time the Blood Thirst Order enters here, it is usually a large army of dozens of people at every turn, just to make full use of the rules and reduce unnecessary battles.

But Byron directly ordered:

"Eight fingers, open the way, target the black church in the upper city.

Although the world rift here is connected to the burial place of [Mother of Creation Lilith], it is only level three.

No mid-sequence grotesques can pass through the cracks.

Clean up all the beasts you encounter on the way, and the premise is to achieve the precondition of the ceremony: a feast of blood under the red moon.

Anyway, when I start the ritual, the offerings of the 'Blood Feast' will attract the grotesques of the whole city.

It's better to clean it up now. ”

"Yes, Captain."

A group of sixty Deathwings immediately formed a battle formation in front of them.

These people are all the best of the best.

In the 721 Captain fission mode was implemented for more than half a year, plus since the reorganization of the Lancaster Party, little by little the core of the Guards.

All of them are first-order transcendents and enjoy the treatment of pirate officers.

Among them, there are 20 [Bayfolk Berserkers] in the lighthouse sequence, 20 [Musketeers] in the fortress sequence, and 20 [Pirates] in the lighthouse sequence.

It has both long-range, medium-range and short-range options, and can adapt to various combat scenarios.

Violet shook the traveler's bag, and ten bronze field guns mounted on the gun carriage were released.

"Fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The whole team rumbled towards the upper town.

Deathwing also occasionally puts an enemy in the middle of the party, which is dealt with by Byron with a single sword.

Every time he killed a beast, he poured a mouthful of blood on himself unhurriedly, and his eyes and skin began to redden.

The first sip is the [Heroic Wild Water] that can make the warrior enter a semi-crazy state;

the second sip can make people drunk and dream of death and enjoy the bliss of the world [Desire Huanbo];

the third is the [Blue Blood Sweet Spring] that can treat various external injuries; The fourth bite of "Bloody Mary" that makes people stay young

Eighteen bowls of the Tiger Hero are nothing, and before walking from here to the Black Church in the center of the city, Byron has to drink a full 108 kinds of blood brew.

Let the body remember their efficacy thoroughly.

At this point, the bloodline sublimation ceremony of the [Blood Feast Holy Grail] officially began.
