Chapter 175: My Wish Comes True (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)
When approaching Death Valley, Lucien and Natasha both couldn't believe their eyes. The valley in the darkness was no longer as gloomy and bleak as described and rumored, with gray mist lingering around it, and no mournful ghosts crying.
The shouting conveyed an indescribable calmness, which made people unable to bear to disturb the deepest and deepest sleep. Moreover, looking far into the distance, one could vaguely see the soft and holy light emitting from the valley.
"Is this the Valley of Death?" Natasha looked back at the cold and terrifying forest to confirm that the two of them had not gone to the wrong place.
And in that forest, frightening cries were heard from time to time, and the demigod lich's undead servants were still searching for the whereabouts of Lucien and Natasha.
Lucien shook his head: "This is the Valley of Death. El seems to be really weird. I'll use my voyeuristic eyes to sneak in and investigate first. I can't go in hastily."
After saying that, Lucien first took off the "Ring of Kangas" and applied many defensive and warning spells to Natasha and himself. Then he took out the crystal ball, rubbed it a few times, and made it spit out a thumb.
A big and small black ball of flesh, covered with deep wrinkles.
The ball of flesh opened suddenly, revealing its pale but black-lined eyes, then split into nine pieces, blended into the darkness, and headed towards the Valley of Death.
Lucien followed Natasha and took shelter in the depression of the cliff not far from Death Valley. This world severely suppresses mental power, and even the distance of detection magic such as "Peeping Magic Eye" has been shortened.
A lot.
The abnormal darkness in the crystal ball disappeared, and the scene seen by the peeping demon eyes appeared. They were sneaking into the Valley of Death from different angles.
"That's that?" Natasha said, pointing to a certain part of the crystal ball. There was a ghoul-like creature more than two meters tall that was also cautiously entering the Death Valley, completely unaware of the peeping demon above it.
Eye, "Congoth's undead servants?"
"It should be that, according to time, they should have finished searching the woods, and Kangas is still in the main material world and cannot command them remotely. Well, they are soul-capturing demons." Lucien frowned slightly.
.
Natasha didn't know as much about various monsters as Lucien did, so she asked curiously: "The soul-capturing demon? It sounds very powerful.
"Well, it's a very strange and powerful undead creature. Don't be deceived by its ghoul-like appearance. Look at what's under the rotting flesh in its abdomen." Lucien was happy to explain, reminding her not to do so in the future.
Be careless with this undead creature.
In order to see clearly, Natasha leaned against Lucien without any grudge, and her breathing could be heard, making Lucien blush slightly and feel uncomfortable.
"There are three small but clear faces on the ribs of its abdomen. The expressions are full of pain." As the Peeping Demon Eye changed direction, Natasha finally saw the front of the Soul Capture Demon.
Lucien pointed solemnly at the belly of the soul-capturing demon: "This is the soul of the creature killed by it. It can imprison three people, indicating that it is a mutated soul-capturing demon, equivalent to a high-level one. These souls have brought it
It has enough energy to use spell-like abilities, which is equivalent to a warlock of the same level, and is good at necromancy and illusion. When attacking it with spells, the effects and some types of damage will be transferred to these three souls.
Before the soul is destroyed, the Soul Capture Demon is not affected and is in a state that disables the opponent's spells."
"Of course, at this time, direct use of physical attack magic can achieve very good results. For knights, the main thing is not to confuse it with a ghoul and to have its soul damaged by its spell-like spells."
Dimples appeared on Natasha's cheeks: "It's really weird. Let the Peeping Eye follow it and see what changes it will cause in Death Valley."
Even if Natasha didn't say anything, Lucien would do this and let one of the Peeping Demon Eyes quietly follow the Soul Capture Demon.
In the Death Valley, countless vines are densely packed, blocking the starlight, making it dark and dead.
As the Soul Capture Demon and the Peeping Demon Eye gradually deepened, the darkness became thicker and thicker, and less and less things could be seen on the crystal ball. Finally, all nine scenes became pitch black, as if they were trapped in the creation of extraordinary power.
In the abnormal darkness.
Lucien activated the Peeping Demonic Eye, but the order seemed to fall into disarray. There was no response. The nine Peeping Demonic Eyes seemed to have completely merged into the darkness.
Suddenly, a soft light lit up on the crystal ball, and the figure of the Soul Prisoner Demon appeared. It was fighting an angel with a pair of holy wings on its back, and in front of it was a bright realm like morning.
At this time, Lucien discovered that six of the nine Peeping Demon Eyes were missing. Except for the one following the Soul Capture Demon, only two passed through the dark area in front.
"Angel? Where is this?" Natasha said in shock during the mental continuity.
Lucien quickly controlled the other two to change directions, bypassing the battle and going deeper inside.
The soul-prisoning demon was so powerful that it didn't take long to kill the "angel". He wanted to go deeper, but more and more angels came to surround him. There were even many four-winged angels of power and angels of power, but
This allows Lucien's Peeping Eye to sneak in.
The scene seen through the peeping magic eyes gradually became clearer, and Natasha's light red lips opened uncontrollably and trembled slightly.
This is a beach gently caressed by the waves. There are white souls on the beach. They use harp instruments to sing ethereal and beautiful chants and send out pious prayers:
"Praise the Supreme Lord, praise the omniscient and almighty God of salvation..."
The entire beach is wrapped in holy light, as if you are in a ball of light, and far away from the beach is a city with twelve gates, the same length, width and height, decorated with various gems such as agate, jasper, etc.
Above this city, there seem to be six similar levels of divine realm. Similar happy scenes can be vaguely seen on four of them. The top two levels cannot be seen clearly with the ability to spy on the magic eye, but Lucien and
Natasha could guess it.
"Blasphemy, this is the greatest blasphemy! Who is imitating Heavenly Mountain! - Shakespeare does not pay attention to the content of the scriptures and theological knowledge, so he can be subtly influenced by Lucien and get along with him "friendly", but this kind of naked imitation
However, her actions stimulated her devout faith and she felt that the creator was full of infinite malice.
"You are one and ten thousand, a moment and eternity..."
The sounds of psalms and prayers came through the crystal ball, and Lucien frowned slightly. Even the prayers and various rituals of the "Holy Scripture" of the Cult of Truth were completely copied? What on earth did Francis want to do? He really
Do you want El to become a "high imitation version of the God of Truth"?
I have to say, it's really creative... Lucien praised, turned around and saw Natasha's hands shaking slightly with anger. However, Lucien was still in danger, and the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the half-witness.
The God Lich did not allow himself to act according to his preferences and forcibly suppressed his emotions.
Lucien was a little moved, and couldn't help but stretched out his left hand, held Natasha's left hand that was not holding the sword, and gently applied force to give her warmth and comfort.
Natasha's left hand subconsciously twitched, but she soon understood what Lucien meant. She nodded with soft eyes, indicating that there was no problem. When the trembling in her hands slowly disappeared, she pulled out her left hand with a little force.
Apart from dancing and escaping, it was the first time that they held hands like this, and Natasha and Lucien were silent for a brief moment with their own thoughts in mind.
At this time, a man in white robes with six pairs of illusory wings sprouted from his back appeared above the group of angels. He slashed down with his sword and transformed into a black hydra. He suppressed the soul-prisoning demon tightly. It seemed that it would not take long...
Kill this high-level undead creature.
"Francis, is it him?" Natasha knew that Francis was following El, but she didn't expect that he would become a fake Seraph.
Lucien quickly clarified his relationship: "I once transformed into El's church in order to obtain information, and met Francis. He is proficient in theology and has been leading El in the direction of the God of Truth. This fake Paradise Mountain
He should have instigated it too."
As for her intention to follow the deceit and want to study "the growth and changes of the God of Truth" at close range, Natasha must not let her know!
"It's him! Isn't he a night watchman? Why did he do such a blasphemous act!" Natasha tried hard to restrain her shock.
Lucien was equally surprised: "He is the night watchman?"
He was so nervous and depressed after being hunted before that Lucien even forgot to ask Natasha why she wanted to cooperate with Francis, but he is actually the night watchman of the Southern Church? He is more powerful than himself, the 19th "fallen angel" in the purification sequence.
Like a blasphemer!
Natasha nodded seriously and solemnly: "I didn't know he was a night watchman at first.
'Purifying Fire, Daniel and Cardinal Masada didn't know either. But after talking to them alone, Francis seemed to have taken out some token and gained their trust, and then told me that Francis was the No. 1 Night Watchman.
The Twelve Thinkers, this mysterious night watchman who only has a code name, is said to have been sent as a spy to the Northern Church's execution agency, and was put on a purification sequence because of this. He is also a mysterious person whose information is not released to the public.
"
"Did he rebel to the Northern Church? No, the Northern Church will not tolerate such blasphemy. Could it be that he has another identity?" Lucien seemed to smell a double agent.
Natasha shook her head: "No matter what, no matter what his purpose is, such blasphemy must be judged. When we are really out of danger, or you decide to attack El, I will kill him with my own hands."
So serious, Lucien quietly wiped his cold sweat, and then suddenly found Natasha looking at him with a half-smile: "You once sneaked into the Church of El, and you should have a share of the credit for this blasphemy, right?"
Just when Lucien was about to deny it, Natasha said seriously: "Don't lie to me."
After thinking about it, Lucien honestly stated the role he had played, the "efforts" he had made, and his desire to study the mysteries of the gods: "For me, there is no malicious intention, it is purely to study the world.
of reality.”
"I know that you have been trying to influence me." Natasha suddenly sighed, "Probably because my attitude towards the Lord itself was influenced by my mother and Granny Hathaway, I have no regard for the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Scriptures.
No matter how important it is, the Lord is in my heart and is closer to the cornerstone of chivalry, so I can accept it. Perhaps in the future, in the face of the results of your research and the undeniable facts, I will completely let the Lord become a spiritual symbol.
But at least not now, I have my own bottom line, I hope you can respect me, hey, it doesn’t matter what you do in private, don’t let me see it.”
Lucien promised very seriously: "Okay."
After communicating, both of them seemed to have put down some of their baggage and continued to look at the "Paradise Mountain" in Death Valley.
Suddenly, black and white gray spread out from Lucien's left hand, freezing him again.
Under the influence of letting go of control previously, the frequency of loss of control seems to have become higher again.
Natasha solemnly wielded "Pale Justice" and slashed at Lucien. After three consecutive strikes, the monotonous color was shattered and recycled. Without Lucien's control, all the Peeping Demonic Eyes were swallowed up by the holy light.
.
"Let's evacuate first." Lucien suggested. "We haven't figured out El's weirdness yet, and God's Domain is our home field. We can't act rashly. We must at least lure him out."
Since using the magic on the Ring of Kangas affects the outside world, Lucien was worried that he would lose the cover of Silver Moon Aitna and alert the demigod lich in advance. He guessed that he could use the ring, so he planned to
Use other magic to "capture" El.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew out of the Death Valley. It was El, targeting Lucien and Natasha!
