Thick dark clouds cover the sky, and the streets are already dark as evening approaches. Passers-by are rushing home. No matter what time or era, except for a few people, getting wet by the rain is always not a good experience, especially
In areas where medical treatment is backward or not widely available, getting wet and sick often means death.
These passers-by were all wearing similar off-white linen robes. No extra colors or styles were seen. Only the groups of patrol soldiers passing by from time to time were distinctive. They had bronze breastplates and greaves, and iron-black sharp swords.
and sharp spears, giving them a sense of bravery and fierceness.
Lucien, who was completely wrapped in a linen robe, followed closely behind a middle-aged man who walked quickly and slowly. The two of them sometimes turned into alleys and sometimes walked on the streets, seemingly no different from ordinary passers-by.
The sky became increasingly gloomy, the wind began to howl, and heavy rain seemed to be coming at any time. The patrol soldiers accelerated their march and rushed back to the military camp in the city.
Stopping in front of a two-story stone building, the middle-aged man looked around cautiously, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he gently knocked on the walnut door. The rhythm of the technique was very unique. First,
Knocked twice on the center of the wooden door, three more times on the left side near the rotating position, and finally on the door lock. Each made a different sound.
After ten seconds of silence, a hole suddenly opened in the door, and a light brown eye appeared behind it.
The middle-aged man took a step back so that his eye could clearly see the gray rose pattern on the corner of his clothes.
This pattern is so inconspicuous that no one would have noticed it if they hadn't already known it.
And Lucien also turned sideways, making the "grey rose" on the corner of his clothes stand out.
The light brown eyes blinked and disappeared at the door. Then the walnut door was slowly opened, and a man with a stooped back and the shape of a dwarf whispered: "Two respected ring bearers, 'Crown, are waiting for you.
They."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and flashed into the house, gesturing for Lucien to follow him.
Lucien was not as quick and vigilant as him. He opened the door with a smile and entered calmly, as if he was visiting an ordinary friend or family without any abnormalities.
After being forced into the "Gate to Another World" by the assassins of the Night Watch, due to the self-destruction attack on the door and the disordered spatial transmission, Lucien was thrown into this inexplicable "Belitan" city, and because he escaped from the Gate to Another World in the final stage.
Without the protection of the door, the whole person was seriously injured by the space shock. Not only was the body seriously injured, but the soul was also in a state of depression. He was only at the level of an ordinary knight and a mid-level magician. The equipment on his body even appeared to help resist the space storm.
Cracks need to be repaired before use.
However, Lucien was quite lucky. He did not meet any high-ranking clergy or cardinals of the church, nor did he encounter false gods or monsters. He was taken in by a kind-hearted old man "Norton" and after two months of training
After that, the magic strength and knight level were restored to the same level as before. The only problem was that the magic items worn on the body such as the Holm Crown Ring at the time needed to find special materials to repair. Of course, the legendary level "Crown of the Sun" and the ninth-level "Sun Power"
The "staff" exerted its "ability" to match the level and did not suffer any damage.
Similarly, "Frost", "Pale Justice", "Transformation Mask", etc. in the storage bag are also intact. Even Grandpa "Norton" has only seen Lucien's normal appearance after his transformation.
In the past two months, Lucien has not met a magician or a clergyman of the Cult of Truth, nor has he heard any news about them. It seems that they are still far away from this city, so far away that there are no rumors or stories. If not,
The strange feeling of suppressing the mental force field mentioned by the teacher Fernando was everywhere, and Lucien wondered if he had traveled to another alien space.
From the mouth of Grandpa "Norton", Lucien learned about the situation of "Belitan" city. It is located on the seaside of "Eldor" and is the capital and economic center of the entire Eldor Peninsula. It was originally occupied by the indigenous Balil people.
Ruled and established a complete Kingdom of Balil who believed in Afanduo, the "god of fire and destruction". However, more than a hundred years ago, the huge "Ankenoma" empire attacked across the sea and conquered this place.
And the God of Destruction, Alfando, was also defeated and exiled by Anatans, the "Lord of War" believed in by the empire.
The servants of the gods of the Ankenoma Empire even claimed that Afando had been completely killed, thereby destroying the basis of the Baal people's belief.
Because the successive "Erdo Governors" stationed by the "Ankenoma" empire imposed exorbitant taxes and treated the Baal people as slaves, wars continued on the peninsula, and from time to time there were rebels and converts to other gods claiming to be favored by Afando.
The rebel forces appeared, but due to the powerful strength of the Ankenoma Empire and the extremely terrifying "god" of the War Lord, these resistances were suppressed one by one.
These things had nothing to do with Lucien. He was preparing to collect information about the surrounding terrain and kingdoms without exposing himself, and find traces of the Magic Council. Only in this way could safety be guaranteed - that kind of suppressed spirit! Power
The strange feeling of the field also suppressed the electromagnetic communication technique. Lucien estimated that the signal would be too poor to connect if it was more than ten kilometers away.
Therefore, without specific information, Lucien did not dare to set out casually. Who knew whether he would directly break into a place controlled by the Cult of Truth or the Vampire Race? The Transformation Mask could hide it from others, but not from the Cardinals, let alone the Cardinals.
Can't hide it from the Pope and Prince Dracula.
However, Grandpa "Norton", who has entered the final stage of his life, seems to feel that Lucien's literacy in the past two months has overwhelmed the young men, teenagers and children he has adopted, and he can speak fluent Baal language.
, obviously the loyal Ba'il tribe - the Ankenoma Empire forcibly promotes the "Annuo language". Unless they have been cultivated since childhood and practice it regularly because of the longing for independence of the Ba'il Kingdom, no young person can
He spoke Baal so fluently that before his death, he passed on a secret identity to Lucien.
This identity is the top of the mysterious organization "Secret Prayer Society", the seventh disciple who has descended into the incarnation of the "God of Fire and Destruction".
Although Lucien said in his heart that this was all due to the magic of "knowing languages", considering that he was here alone, it was much more convenient for an organization to provide information than to rely on his own inquiry, so he agreed. After all, due to the constant rebellion,
The city of Bethletan is under the double high-pressure surveillance of "Governor Erdo" and the "Temple of War". It is not feasible to pretend to be gods and ghosts to defraud memories. The only option is to rely on the transformation mask to change the identity and sneak into the senior officials of the Ankenoma colony to search for information.
It was a temporary move and could easily be exposed if it lasted for more than a day.
Even without Norton's covert identity protection, Lucien would have been interrogated many times. Governor Erdo is rumored to be a hybrid of god and human, and can use the "power of god" like the high priest of the Temple of War.
It is equivalent to two ordinary cardinals or even ninth-level cardinals guarding this place - there are no crazy magicians in this world, and there are no blood knights, but some false gods often have promiscuous affairs and have given birth to many offspring. They also
Has similar characteristics to a blood knight.
Ordinary humans can only be promoted by becoming servants of gods and priests. The army can only be used to deal with ordinary people. There is nothing that can be done about the "heroes" with divine blood. The only good thing is that the number of divine blood heroes is rare, so they will not be unemployed.
, if the matter of suppressing the rebellion is not too big, then we should not trouble the noble blooded ones.
Following the fifth disciple "Ansius" in front of him, he walked through the hall and walked to the back of the building. Watching him open a secret door and reveal the upward stairs, Lucien seemed to be watching an opera that had nothing to do with him, indifferently.
Indifferent, in his heart, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to study the incarnation of the "god of fire and destruction". This was the first time he encountered the "incarnation of the false god", and it was a great opportunity to obtain first-hand information.
This is also one of the main reasons why Lucien joined the "Secret Prayer Society"
After the secret door is an upward staircase, which seems to lead to the ceiling and the mezzanine on the second floor. But halfway through, Anhuis suddenly stopped and opened a secret door again. This time, a downward staircase appeared.
.
In silence, the two of them walked downward for a long time, and finally a bronze door appeared in front of them, with strange flame patterns all over it.
Putting his hand on one of the flame patterns, Anhui's body glowed with a burst of red light, and he pushed open the bronze door. Behind the door was a hall with a row of braziers burning. It was empty, except for the stone pillars, and only the central
With a round table.
There are a total of thirteen chairs in the round table. At the top is a gold throne inlaid with rubies, which is not yet seated. On both sides are six silver seats with similar flame patterns on them.
At this time, there were already five people sitting on the twelve silver seats. The leader was an old man with white hair and a thick beard. He looked at Lucien and said: "According to Norton's recommendation before his death, the great god of fire and destruction
The revelation was made that you, Leviathan, will be the Seventh Disciple."
Leviathan is a pseudonym Lucien got based on inspiration from the Great Demon King.
"But you haven't shown your ability yet and haven't made any contribution to God. In the next year, we will examine you. Only when you pass the test can you obtain the 'spiritual seed' given by the gods and gain extraordinary power.
"Yes." Lucien suddenly became curious about the "spiritual seed". Is this the key to cracking the mystery of divine magic? Should he capture other disciples or directly capture the God of Fire and Destruction for study?
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Lucien lightly: "Sit down, I will hold a baptism of fire for you later. Now, we have more important things."
"What's going on?" Anhuis thought today was just the baptism of fire ceremony for the seventh disciple.
"Discussing the future path and ways to completely awaken and restore the gods." The old man, the first disciple Jacob, said solemnly.
