When all the oil in the black oil pool turned golden, the four maggot priests let go of their scepters, moved towards the black oil pool, and then walked into the golden oil, but their bodies
Instead of being devoured and assimilated like sacrifices, the golden oil beneath them began to spread upward along the surface of their bodies, as if it was going to wrap them up.
However, when the golden oil on the bodies of three maggot priests was about to completely cover them, they stopped and stepped back. The three maggot priests all showed regretful looks on their faces, and they turned around in unison.
He looked enviously at another colleague who was completely wrapped in gold oil and was gradually turning into a cocoon.
In the square, other people saw that a maggot priest had successfully transformed into a cocoon, and they couldn't help but cheer, and then the sound of chanting prayers became louder.
At this time, Leo did not pay attention to the maggot man's cocooning in front of him like the people around him. Instead, he slightly raised his head and looked at the statue of the Mother of Filth that was casting golden light downwards in the sky.
He discovered that although the golden light was emitted by the statue of the Mother of Filth projected in the sky, the golden light itself was not the power of the Mother of Filth, because he did not feel any resonance in the mark of the Mother of Filth in his body, and this
The golden light gave him the feeling more like the power of a giant golden deer.
Leo once saw the golden giant deer patrolling the black forest at a very close distance, but he had just turned on his spiritual vision at that time, which was not much better than ordinary people. He could not feel the details of the golden giant deer's power at all. The only thing
The only thing that could be retained in his mind was the impression that could not be described in words, and the feeling projected by the golden light now fit perfectly with the impression in his memory.
In the oil pool, when the surface of the maggot's cocoon became horny, its body began to slowly shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Also shrinking was a rhizome that resembled an umbilical cord.
As the cocoon shrank to only the size of a fist, the rhizome was as small as a hair, and the light on the surface of the cocoon became more and more intense, even reaching the dazzling bottom.
Everyone around them had reached a critical moment, and their voices reciting prayers became louder and louder, and some even fell into a state of fanatical shouting.
The light emitted by the golden cocoon seemed to have reached the limit that the light could reach. At this time, the rhizome suddenly broke under the impact of a force, and the golden cocoon was also suspended in the air, and then the skin was broken into countless pieces.
At the same time, a golden goblin with transparent wings was suspended in the air, then quickly rushed into the sky and disappeared in the light of the statue of the Mother of Filth.
When he saw the little golden goblin, Leo's surprise far exceeded that of everyone present, because he had seen such little goblins flying around the giant golden deer and entering the black forest from time to time to collect nectar.
Those little goblins.
To be honest, if Leo hadn't witnessed the complete process of a maggot man gradually transforming into a golden goblin, it would be hard to believe that such a beautiful golden goblin turned into such a disgusting maggot man, and this
The discovery also made Leo even more curious about the relationship between this mother of filth and the giant golden deer. If the relationship was not extremely close, the golden goblins transformed from the maggots would never become the followers of the golden deer.
And just as Leo was pondering the problem, everyone in the square could not hide their excitement and shouted various slogans praising the mother of filth. At the same time, many people who looked normal suddenly looked like
As if it had received some kind of stimulation, certain parts of the body began to undergo clan-like mutations.
Next to Leo and Sylvia, there was also a person who had mutated due to external stimulation. His body began to swell, and a bubble-like pustule began to bulge on his back. The pustule was filled with a black oily substance, and it could
Through the outer skin of the pustule, you can see something swimming inside.
Because this person's mutation happened right around him, Leo immediately tried to tighten his mental network, trying not to come into contact with other surrounding forces, and only exploring the mutation process in this person's body.
Soon he discovered that this person's mutation was different from the mutation he thought was caused by the power of the Mother of Filth. He discovered that this person was actually producing the power of the abyss, and this power of the abyss was also his mutation.
The reason was that the Divine Power of the Mother of Filth in his body was working hard to corrode this man with the power of the abyss, which made the mutation in his body always maintain at a level that would not harm him.
Ever since he learned about the situation of the Mother of Filth here, Leo had some doubts about the Mother of Filth's power to clean up the abyss. After all, many of the people he saw here who had mutated due to the power of the abyss had obvious abyssal traits.
The energy fluctuations of the force, although one force is chaos and the other is order.
But now he has believed that the Mother of Filth can clean up the power of the abyss. In front of his eyes, he can see the power of the abyss being transformed into the power of the abyss that inherits the order.
As the maggot man turned into a golden goblin and flew away, the ceremony in the square had ended. People in the square began to leave in an orderly manner. Only some clergymen gathered around the edge of the black oil pool and prayed non-stop.
, seems to hope to gain the favor of those golden powers still remaining in the black oil pool.
Leo and Sylvia also left the square with the crowd, but they did not return to the hotel, but left the castle directly, and then asked the caravan at the post station outside the city about the location and directions of Lanxi City.
After the ceremony, we went directly to Lanxi.
Although after the sacrificial ceremony, some celebrations will be held here because of the evolution of the maggot priest, these activities are meaningless to Leo and Sylvia. It is better to go to Lanxi to see what Lanxi has.
A special place.
The two of them did not walk on their legs, but spent one Jinsa to buy a carriage, bought some goods from a merchant, changed into the clothes of a local merchant, and disguised themselves as merchants.
Perhaps it was because the surrounding territories were carrying out sacrificial rituals, and there were no people on the roads connecting each territory and the castle. Only the carriage driven by Leo was driving on the road.
"Is that golden goblin the same goblin you saw back then?" Perhaps because she felt that the surroundings were too quiet, Sylvia suddenly found a topic and asked.
"Hmm!" Leo raised the reins in his hands to slow down the carriage a little. Then he thought about it and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd probably have a hard time believing that those golden goblins turned out to be maggots.
Made of.”
"Do you think the Mother of Filth and the Lord of the Black Forest are the same..." Sylvia asked again.
Leo turned to look at Sylvia, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I don't think it's possible, because the Lord of the Black Forest doesn't need to find an empty puppet in front of him. He can stand on the stage by himself.
Before." As he said that, he added: "However, their relationship is probably unusual, maybe it is a subordinate relationship like the White Deer."
"Affiliation?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment.
Leo then expressed his guess and said: "And I suspect that He was also involved in the process of the Asheli Forest breaking away from the Black Forest."
Sylvia didn't understand Leo's words for a moment, and wondered: "He? Who? The mother of filth?"
"Yeah!" Leo nodded and said, "Don't forget that in the holy book of the Mother of Filth, it was mentioned that the Mother of Filth has an eternal garden in the Asheli Forest. In addition, the reason why the Asheli Forest was separated from
The Black Forest is related to the infection of the Abyss, and the power of the Mother of Filth has a strong effect on restraining the power of the Abyss. I think this is not a coincidence."
Sylvia thought for a while after hearing this, nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Leo's guess, but then she asked in confusion: "Even if this matter is confirmed, what does it have to do with us?
It was a long time ago."
Leo said in a deep voice: "It is true that there is no direct relationship, but it cannot be said that there is no indirect relationship at all. Have you ever thought that there is a place in the black forest connected to the abyss, and the power of the abyss is also constantly invading through that place?
Come to the Black Forest."
"How is this possible?" Sylvia said in disbelief.
"How is it impossible?" Leo asked back, and then explained in detail what he had observed in the body of the family during the mutation process during the sacrificial ceremony.
"Is the mutation in them caused by the power of the abyss?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and quickly fell into deep thought. Leo did not speak to disturb her thinking, but was steady.
driving a carriage.
After a while, Sylvia came back from her thoughts, nodded slightly, and said, "Indeed, it is most likely caused by the power of the abyss."
"What did you think of?" Leo asked.
"No matter how the gods' dependents mutate, the directions of their mutations are regular and connected, and they can form a system of their own. For example, the Lord of the Sky's dependents will have bird-like mutations no matter which type of dependents they are.
Mother’s dependents will have mutations such as snakes, lizards and other egg-laying land animals.” Sylvia analyzed: “But the mutations of the followers and dependents of the Mother of Filth are disordered, and all kinds of strange mutations occur.
Yes, it obviously does not conform to the rules of mutation of the gods' dependents, but is very similar to the abyssal transformation after being eroded by the power of the abyss." As she said that, she suddenly turned to Leo and asked: "Do you want to go to the abyss...
"
Leo shook his head, interrupted Sylvia's words, and said: "I don't have any plans for the moment, but I might go and take a look in the future. I feel... I feel that if I can unlock the secret of the abyss, maybe I can.
Unlock the secrets of this world.”
"The secret of the world?" Sylvia looked at Leo with some confusion.
However, Leo had no intention of continuing the conversation at this moment and silently drove the carriage along the road to Lanxi. Sylvia did not ask any more questions. She felt that when Leo wanted to say something, he would naturally tell her.
her.
The reason why Leo and Sylvia wanted to visit Lanxi in this place was not only because the special attire of the Lanxi people aroused their curiosity, but also because of the location of Lanxi, which was far away from them.
The location to get to Luyuan is not very far, it only requires a short detour on the way.
Just like the Lyon Territory, Lanxi City is also located on the border of the Mother of Filth Territory. However, unlike the territory here, Lanxi City is not under the supervision of the Mother of Filth Church and has no lords or nobles. According to the locals, Lanxi City is not under the supervision of the Mother of Filth Church.
It is said that the people living in France City are all descendants of the stars and gods, and are protected by the gods of the Black Forest, the Mother of Filth.
It is precisely because of the special characteristics of Lanxi people that Lanxi City has become a buffer place for the realm of the Black Forest Gods. If the Black Forest Gods encounter something that cannot be solved and needs to be discussed, they will send their church missions.
Go to Lanxi City for negotiations.
But the strange thing is that these churches of the Black Forest Gods have never established a convenient temple, altar or other contact point in Lanxi city. It is said that this is because the people of Lanxi are unwilling to allow the Church of the Black Forest Gods to establish a place in Lanxi.
A garrison was established in the city. Regarding this rumor, the Lanxi people did not admit it, and the Black Forest Church did not deny it.
It is this kind of almost tacit behavior that makes people in places like Lyons unable to help but believe that the Lanxi people are descendants of gods. Otherwise, with the overbearing behavior of the church, they would never pay attention to Lanxi.
In human minds, only those with equal status can gain the respect of others, even gods.
When Leo knew that the Lanxi people might be the descendants of the starry sky gods, he immediately thought of the space fleet in his mind, because this was the only way to fit their claim that they were descendants of the starry sky gods, and the clothes on the Lanxi delegation he saw before were also similar.
Just in line with the rules of fleet dress.
These things about Lan Xi were told by several traveling merchants that Leo and Sylvia met on the road. When Leo and Sylvia met these traveling merchants, they kindly let them sit in the back.
empty carriage.
And on the way, through conversations, Leo learned that these traveling merchants were not just walking around in the territories of the Mother of Filth, they even went to other divine realms connected to the Mother of Filth’s territory, in several areas.
Try out various specialty products.
When asked about Lan Xi, these businessmen all said that based on their experience alone, they were definitely the best in the field of these gods, but even they had to admit that Lan Xi was the most special person they had ever seen.
of a city.
However, when Sylvia asked what was so special about Lan Xi that made them agree so much, they could not tell a reason. They could only say that they would wait until Leo and Sylvia saw Lan Xi.
After visiting Xicheng, you will understand why they cannot describe the specialness of Lanxi City.
Just as these traveling merchants said, when their carriage traveled far enough to see Lanxi City, Sylvia was still shocked by the sight of Lanxi City even though she was mentally prepared, because the entire Lanxi City
