Chapter 31 Arrival

Hearing this voice, Allen frowned slightly.
He pondered for a moment and confirmed that this was not his hallucination, but was really coming from the black crystal.
He was deeply confused by this.
Since he traveled to this world, the mysterious black crystal has really helped him a lot. It has greatly improved his magic talent and changed his fate of being unable to learn magic.
If there was no black spar, he might have no choice but to follow his father's arrangements, find a job as a civil servant, and then inherit the York family's billions in property with his brothers.
But to this day, he still hasn't figured out where the black crystal came from, what it is, and what the relationship is between it and the mysterious "dark star".
With curiosity, Allen closed his eyes and meditated, his thoughts drifting towards the black crystal.
Black mist rose.
Then his consciousness fell into darkness.
A few seconds later, when Allen opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding environment had become completely different.
The quiet town of Cambridge has long since disappeared, replaced by a towering black temple.
This is a Gothic building with a strange shape.
A long pointed window points directly to the sky. The moonlight passes through the stained glass and casts mottled light spots on the ground;
The wide pointed arches, decorated with exquisite murals and reliefs, appear solemn and eerie.
Columns, window frames, walls, statues... all present dark and cold colors, which are harmonious, unified and uniquely beautiful.
Outside the window, there are rolling white glaciers, shining with an icy sheen under the moonlight.
Allen found himself kneeling on the cold ground.
There was some pain in his knee, probably because he had just fallen.
He held on to the pillar beside him and slowly stood up.
Then he was surprised to see a group of people in black robes surrounding him. They all had pious and fanatical expressions on their faces.
"I...where am I?" Allen looked around and couldn't help but ask.
After hearing his words, a man in black robes stepped forward, bowed slightly in front of him, and said in a respectful tone: "High Priest, have you forgotten? This is the Temple of Darkness."
Allen froze on the spot and remained silent for a long time.
He never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he would arrive at the Dark Temple inexplicably and be called the "High Priest" by a group of unknown people.
The Temple of Darkness...isn't it the legendary place where the evil god called the "God of Darkness" is enshrined?
Could it be that the mysterious black crystal is related to this notorious evil god?
Allen silently shook his head.
However, before he could figure it out, a strong attraction appeared on the black crystal again, pulling his consciousness back.
In the blink of an eye, the majestic Dark Temple disappeared from his sight.
The dappled light and shadow flashed away.
Then, he opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting on the clock tower in the small town of Cambridge.
The moonlight is like water, and the evening breeze is like complaining.
Everything is business as usual.
Only the mist rises from the black crystal stone.
It seemed to be telling him that what just happened was not a dream.
…………
Allen looked confused about this situation, and the believers of the God of Darkness were also deeply confused.
Logically speaking, today is the most worthy day to celebrate.
The sudden total lunar eclipse and the sudden resurgence of the power of the gods undoubtedly herald the return of the God of Darkness and the rise of the Dark Temple again.
Just like the words "Hello, world" that the high priest Delphi saw on the mirror not long ago, the believers became more motivated to fight again.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Shortly after the total lunar eclipse, the high priest Delphi made a "plop" and fainted on the ground inexplicably.
The believers looked at each other, but did not dare to go up to help him.
Because they saw the black mist rising from the high priest's body, as if a miracle had come, which was awe-inspiring.
But the dark fog soon dissipated.
The high priest held on to the pillar and climbed up.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, High Priest Delphi is the person with the strongest divine favor in the entire Dark Temple, and is also the only person who can directly communicate with the God of Darkness. If something happens to him, the Dark Temple may be in ruins again.
However, the first words of the high priest after he woke up once again left everyone stunned.
"I...where am I?"
Hearing this, everyone felt their hearts grow cold.
Alas, the high priest accidentally fell down and lost his memory. It seems that the great gods have really abandoned us. The Dark Temple is really going to end this time.
But stranger things are yet to come.
"Bang!"
After saying these words, the high priest Delphi fell down again. Looking at the embarrassing look of him falling on his back, it must have been very painful.
Then, a mysterious black mist enveloped him, and it took a long time for it to dissipate.
This time, it took nearly half an hour before Delphi opened her eyes again.
"Ouch!"
As soon as she woke up, Delphi held her buttocks and couldn't help but groan in pain.
The believers immediately gathered around him, with expressions of concern and worry on their faces.
"High Priest, are you okay?"
"High Priest, what happened just now? Have you really lost your memory?"
"High Priest, what's the matter with the black mist on your body? Is it the aura of my god's favor?"
"..."
Hearing "black mist", "amnesia", "two falls"... these incomprehensible words from the believers' mouths, High Priest Delphi's brows furrowed more and more.
He remembered clearly that he only fell down once.
As for "black mist" and "amnesia"... he has no impression at all.
But since everyone around me says so unanimously...
That means he must have missed something important.
Thinking of this, the high priest stood up and asked everyone: "Can any of you describe to me what happened after I fell?"
Everyone talked and described what had just happened.
The high priest listened quietly and remained silent.
After everyone had finished speaking, he still concentrated on his thoughts and remained silent.
No one dared to interrupt Delphi's thoughts.
It was extremely quiet inside the Dark Temple.
When dawn came and the rosy glow touched the earth, Delphi waved his hand and ordered everyone to clean the temple.
They washed their hands and washed away the dust accumulated in the temple for many years, making the entire temple look brand new.
Afterwards, they offered rich sacrifices on the altar, recited hymns in the vast ice field, and offered sacrifices to the great God of Darkness.
The smoke carries bursts of fragrance and rises into the sky.
Only then did Delphi explain to everyone what had just happened:
"What was in front of you just now was not me, but the will of the God of Darkness who came to the world. He just borrowed my body to convey the instructions to you."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
As for the mysterious sentence "I...where am I?", various hidden meanings have been explained through the brainstorming of believers.
Currently, an explanation widely adopted by believers is:
The God of Darkness has just awakened from his slumber and is not yet familiar with his own power and the current situation.
However, for the great God of Darkness, this is not a big problem at all.
As long as he is given a little more time to explore his former strength, it will be no problem to rise again.
