Seeing Li Fengyu and Ye Chen's solemn expressions, Nangong Qin asked in surprise.
Ye Chen did not answer, but glanced back and forth at Li Fengyu and Nangong Kaige, and asked: "How much do you know about the witchcraft of the Moon Worshiping Empire?"
"I... don't quite understand!"
Nangong Kaige shook his head, his expression a little embarrassed.
Li Fengyu, on the other hand, after pondering for a moment, nodded and said: "I do know a little bit, but not much!"
"oh?
Tell me!"
Ye Chen said with great interest.
Li Fengyu didn't hide anything, and immediately gave a general description of her understanding of witchcraft.
After listening, Ye Chen thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that the spirituality of those murals and statues comes from the power of faith of the people of the Moon Worshiping Empire?"
According to Li Fengyu, the wizards of the Moon Worshiping Empire seem to be able to use a power called "faith".
Thousands of years ago, the Moon Worshiping Empire encountered a devastating disaster.
Another extremely powerful empire once wanted to annex the Moon Worshiping Empire and launched an all-out siege.
Due to the huge disparity in strength, the Moon Worshiping Empire's army was completely defeated in just a few days, and finally had to retreat to the sacrificial hall.
However, at the critical moment when the situation was in danger and the country could be destroyed at any time, the wizards of the Moon Worshiping Empire did something shocking.
Thousands of wizards sacrificed their blood and jumped into the sky fire altar in the center of the sacrificial hall, thus activating an ancient formation.
Countless demons rushed out of the altar of heavenly fire and pounced on the surrounding enemies with bared teeth and claws.
On that day, the sky and the earth lost color, the sun and the moon lost their brightness, and the entire capital of the Moon Worshiping Empire seemed to have turned into a purgatory, with demons dancing wildly and ghosts roaring.
In just half an hour, the enemy army was completely defeated and they were completely defeated.
However, the losses suffered by the Moon Worshiping Empire reached the highest level in history.
The demons that rushed out from the altar of heavenly fire seemed to be bloodthirsty and cruel, killing everyone they encountered without distinguishing between friend and foe.
After that battle, the population of the Moon Worshiping Empire was reduced by at least half.
Especially the inheritance of witchcraft has experienced a disconnection.
For a long time, no decent strong man appeared in the Moon Worshiping Empire, and the number of wizards was also extremely rare.
Even many powerful witchcrafts were completely lost after that battle.
"You're not referring to the power of faith in the Moon Worshiping Empire's religion, are you?"
Li Fengyu said dubiously: "Isn't this power fictitious?
The source of power in the world is all based on spiritual power, how can there be such an ethereal power as the power of faith?"
This time Ye Chen didn't speak yet, but Jin Lin beside him shook his head, "No, the power of faith exists, but only gods can control it!"
"How are you so sure?"
Li Fengyu asked.
"because……"
Jin Lin glanced at Ye Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and responded: "I have the blood power of the ancient beast Phoenix God Clan in my body!"
"So you are a descendant of the Phoenix God Clan?"
Li Fengyu was a little shocked.
Nangong Qin, the direct descendants of the royal family of the Yong'an Empire, were also in awe.
With the power of the blood of ancient divine beasts, it can be said that from the moment of birth, his status will never be lower than that of the direct royal family of these dynasties.
However, with the continuous changes of the times, the ancient gods and beasts have long faded out of the mortal world, leaving only various legends that are unknown to be true or false.
As a result, the status of ethnic groups with the power of the blood of mythical beasts in the mortal world is becoming less and less valued.
However, anyone with the power of the blood of a mythical beast will have certain innate unique abilities.
For example, the most common one is to tame monsters as war pets!
This is an ability that pure humans do not have!
"Back to business!"
At this time, Ye Chen said again: "Since the power of faith exists, then the mysterious power contained in the statues and murals in the sacrificial hall, even if it is not the power of faith, should be similar in nature!"
"Are you saying that the mysterious power hidden in the statues and murals comes from the devout worship of the people of the Moon Worshiping Empire?"
Li Fengyu said in surprise and uncertainty.
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded, "Didn't you say that over the endless years, the emperors and commoners of the Moon Worshiping Empire will need to come to the Sacrifice Hall regularly to watch and worship?"
“Is this the spiritual origin of statues and murals?”
Li Fengyu became even more curious.
"My current guess is indeed this!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Everything has a spirit, and so does human faith. Although it seems ethereal, as long as the method is just right, it may be possible to collect the power of faith from all living beings and store it in some kind of vessel.
middle!"
"In other words, those statues and murals are vessels for collecting and storing the power of faith?"
Li Fengyu exclaimed in surprise.
Nangong Qin and others around him were also stunned.
Because the conversation between Ye Chen and Li Fengyu simply subverted their understanding of the power in the world.
"Although I'm not sure, the principles of wizards' use of witchcraft are indeed somewhat different from those of our Yong'an Empire warriors!"
After a pause, Ye Chen added: "Coupled with what I just discovered in the auditorium, it is enough to prove that my statement is correct!"
"Even if you are right, how will it help our operation this time?"
Nangong Kaige asked on the side.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a more feasible plan, but it requires a risk!"
"what's the plan?"
Everyone cast curious glances.
"Isn't Mass City a hundred miles away from here?"
Ye Chen pointed in the direction of Mass City and said meaningfully: "If I use the same method to create enough chaos in Mass City, do you think the priest, who is responsible for maintaining the safety of the Moon Worshiping Empire, will
A large number of people are dispatched to the Mass City to check?"
"Are you trying to use one move to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"
Nangong Qin instantly understood Ye Chen's intention.
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded, "Based on my observations over the past five days, although the defense of the sacrifice hall is much tighter than that of the palace, it is also full of loopholes. As long as I can lure more than half of the sacrifices away from the sacrifice hall, I can sneak in quietly.
Among them, steal the fairy root!"
"I feel something is wrong!"
After carefully analyzing Ye Chen's plan, Nangong Kaige said: "This plan is certainly feasible, but there are still many uncertainties in it!"
"What uncertainty?"
Ye Chen asked.
"First, even if you can make enough noise in the Mass City, if the priests of the sacrificial hall only send one or two to investigate, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
"Secondly, if you want to make enough noise in Mass City, your whereabouts will be exposed, and you will not be able to escape the fate of being besieged by the Moon Worshiping Empire's wizards."
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Although Nangong Kaige's analysis seems a bit unfounded, once this possibility arises, it will indeed have a great impact on their actions.
In fact, it is very likely that their whereabouts will be exposed and their success will fail in the end.
At this time, Li Fengyu seemed to have thought of something again and said: "Actually, as for whether the wizard in the sacrificial hall can be lured away, His Highness need not worry!"
"oh?
how do I say this?"
Nangong Kaige looked over.
Li Feng said: "The wizard group of the Sacrifice Hall has always claimed to be the guardian of the Moon Worshiping Empire. As long as the movement is big enough, they will not be able to stand by and watch, and they may even mobilize in full force!"
At this point, Li Fengyu smiled bitterly and said: "The difficulty lies in the second point. Even if we can make such a big noise, how can we escape from it later?"
"This is easy!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't forget, I am a Talisman Master!"
