The vast consciousness that enveloped the camp faded away, and the golden scales with their glow gradually dimmed.
Illusive twilight saplings appeared from it, repairing the wound on the back of Lu Li's neck, irrigating the body that was on the verge of dryness, and awakening the dormant plants.
Countless buds poked out of the wooden board, like guarding the outline of a bound stone pillar, but they could do nothing.
When the plants cover the ankles and form a lawn, the glimmering saplings with their second and third leaves disappear into the void.
The color returned to Lu Li's face, and he escaped from the brink of death, but he was still not out of trouble. He was tied to a stone pillar, and the camp was quiet. Without the pagan guards, something strange might come here at any time, or until the campfire was extinguished, everything would be silent.
Professor Hagrid's discarded dagger pressed against a piece of young grass. The distance of less than two meters was like a chasm. The plants without intelligence would not obey his will.
The alchemy tower in the distance shimmered slowly like stars, and Lu Li stood alone in front of the stone pillar illuminated by the campfire, waiting for rescue...or death.
At a certain moment, Lu Li listened to the noise of approaching chaotic footsteps, metal collisions, and dull breathing.
Lu Li raised his eyes and saw the knights surrounding the wizard, and the wizard surrounding Claire, appearing at the entrance of the camp.
They are not hallucinations, they are real.
The knights and wizards dispersed to search the camp. Claire walked straight towards Lu Li, her palms wrapped in thick bandages.
"You are late."
Lu Li calmly said to Claire who was walking towards him.
If they fail to seize the loophole of the Balanced Secret Cult and perform reverse sacrifices, they will only get a camp of pagans and evil gods who leave satisfied.
Claire pulled out the soft sword from the inside of her belt, walked up the steps step by step, stopped in front of the tender grass, and drew the hemp rope on Lu Li's body.
"Not many people know that you have become the controller. If it weren't for your mother, those idiots would have thought it was something weird." She looked around the silent camp where they were alone: "Where are the Spit Hagrid family and the believers here?
?”
Lu Li broke free from the broken rope: "I was sacrificed."
Carlisle turned into an afterimage before her eyes. When the outline became clear again, she was already stepping on the lawn, with Lu Li behind her, heading towards the camp.
"Are there any third-party forces involved?"
"I sacrificed them."
"?"
Claire suddenly turned her head, her eyes revealing inner doubts.
Lu Li stepped over the tender grass and told Claire that the pagans who wanted to sacrifice him were sacrificed by him.
"How did you do it? Even the evil god of the wilderness usually doesn't let go of sacrifices and devours believers..."
"For balancing the teachings of the Church."
Lu Li recounted his experience and walked down the steps.
Claire bent down and pinched off a twig that was about to bloom and stuffed it into her pocket. She followed Lu Li away from the altar, picked up the burning torch from the bonfire, and walked towards the edge barn.
"No wonder mother just asked me to come...she guessed that nothing would happen to you."
squeak
The leaky wooden door of the barn was pushed open, and Lu Li raised the dying firewood to light the torch on the wall. As the light gradually became brighter, he found the baggage placed in the corner.
The doomsday book, stomach bag, psychic gun and eyeballs are all inside.
Fortunately, Sithorn was holding it and the power of the Doomsday Apocalypse chess piece was not discovered.
As he held the Book of Doomsday Apocalypse, weakness quickly left Lu Li's body.
Claire's expression moved slightly when she felt the change, but she didn't say anything.
Finally, after hanging up the stomach bag and gun holster, Lu Li and Claire left the barn.
The clattering "can" knight approached head on. The leading knight's matte armor had a symmetrical pattern of shining sunlight on its chest, and behind him were two cloth-armored clerks.
They are a team of the Second Expeditionary Force of the Knights of Radiance. Due to Lu Li's disappearance, their mission was temporarily changed and they dispersed to search for Lu Li's whereabouts.
"Mr. Lu Li, I am the Grand Knight Chizzy Vance. I am honored to find you. I am very lucky to have found you." Chizzy Vance took off his helmet, hugged him and performed knightly etiquette. He tilted his head and said, "Clergy,
Contact four other teams and we have found the exorcist."
"Mr. Lu Li, we detected the aura of sacrifice in the camp. Do you know what happened?"
So Lu Li recounted his experience of "prey killing hunter".
After checking the empty camp, Grand Knight Chizzy Vance and his team escorted Lu Li back to the temporary camp at the foot of the giant tree.
Lu Li received warm hospitality at the camp. This was not his first contact with the Radiant Knights, nor was it the first time that the Radiant Knights contacted Lu Li. For the Knights, Lu Li walked into the wilderness alone when mankind fell into despair due to the Silence.
The legendary deeds that wounded the Silent Hour and made him the Silent Hour are still passed down to this day. Learn from his knightly tenacity.
Claire became silent, and she seemed unwilling to reveal her emotions and thoughts in front of outsiders.
Unfortunately, before the return of deputy commander Yagun Baghdadi, a moment of silence came unexpectedly.
The Knights of Radiance had no choice but to let Lu Li and Claire return to the giant tree.
And this kidnapping incident does not end there: the hidden dangers left by Professor Hagrid still need to be investigated, as well as Lu Li who was forced to become a follower of the Balance Church.
The only good thing is that the god who balances the church seems to obey the truth rather than the consciousness bred by faith.
If it's the former, the shackles that control Lu Li will be much lessened and can even be almost ignored.
"Ask my mother. She knows whether this Balance Church is the secret sect of evil gods or the sect of ancient gods."
Claire sent Lu Li to the door of the Alchemy Office and left.
Lu Li knocked on the office door, heard a pleasant sound, then opened the door and entered.
Vice-President Chris was sitting on a large and unique sofa, wearing a hollow wide-brimmed hat. It seemed that she had just returned or was about to leave. It was probably the latter, because she did not tease Lu Li as usual. She took a drop of the potion and whispered:
"I smell the law of balance."
With a gentle wave, a book on the bookshelf waved its pages and fell into the palm of Deputy Dean Chris, and turned to one of the pages.
"One good news, one bad news. The good news is that it is consistent with the 'Lord of Balance' you said, a believer who accepted your sacrifice and distorted the truth. He possesses the orthodox law of balance... This means that he is an ancient god, or
A servant of the Old God. The bad news is that becoming a traitor makes you an outcast from the law."
Although the law is illusory, the religious orders that believe in the relevant laws and powers will not like it.
"Dear, my suggestion is to maintain faith. The Church of Truth is close to the laws of the world and to each other. In addition to the laws of opposition, the truths are natural allies to each other, just like those divine camps. Although this god can only be sacrificed when
It will come to consciousness and seem to be in trouble, but it just can't restrict you."
Vice President Chris lifted her handbag encrusted with gorgeous gems.
"But I suggest you make your own choice. After all, in addition to wisdom, you also have good luck, right?"
