Chapter 25 The First Meeting Between God and Believers
As night falls, the light of the crimson star in the sky gradually fades, and everything returns to its original state, as if the various visions Merlins experienced when he was promoted were just a dream.
Allen stood under the astronomy tower and paused for a long time.
He was thinking whether he should go to the top of the astronomy tower to look for the Destiny Star tonight and become an official magician.
He secretly thought:
"...Mr. Merlins was promoted to legend in the Astronomy Tower. At this time, the limelight is very strong. Maybe I should avoid the limelight and avoid receiving too much attention...
"Moreover, Mr. Merlins specializes in prophecy. After he became a legend, his magic power became stronger. Maybe he can see it through various causes and effects. I have been pretending to be a legendary mage and deceiving him in the past few days.
Fool him...
"It's not a good thing to be hated by a genuine legendary mage..."
Thinking of this, Allen resolutely gave up his plan to advance in the Astronomy Tower.
He plans to change places.
Relying on the memory of the original owner of the body, he remembered that there was a small town of Cambridge one kilometer away from the University of Cambridge. There was a clock tower in the town. It had a wide view, was sparsely populated, was not easily disturbed, and was also a place for promotion.
Great place.
I think back then, the original owner of the body often skipped school and went to the small town of Cambridge to play with Jeffrey. There were all kinds of small shops, all kinds of vendors, plus restaurants with different tastes and low prices.
For the two of them who were in a boring class, it was like heaven.
"Then let's go!" He made a decisive decision.
Facing the cool breeze, Allen came outside the campus, waved his hand, and hailed a four-wheeled public carriage.
Seeing Allen wearing a custom-made suit that was exquisitely made and expensive at first glance, the coachman had a warm smile on his face and asked him where he was going.
"To Cambridge Town," replied Alan, putting a shilling note into the driver's hand.
The coachman took the banknote and was about to give Allen change. One shilling... that was ten times the fare!
"No need to look for it," Allen said lightly, "I like silence. Before I arrive at my destination, I hope I am the only passenger in the carriage."
"No problem, sir."
After the coachman happily accepted the banknotes, he raised his whip and drove the horses towards the town of Cambridge.
Allen sat in the back seat of the carriage, flipping through "Horoscopes and Prophecies" and paying close attention to the state of his body.
In his conscious world, black crystal stones floated in the boundless mist of elements, exuding a profound light.
………
When the carriage arrived at the town of Cambridge, the sky had completely darkened. The blue moonlight fell down, giving the buildings a cool halo, making the atmosphere of the town cool and mysterious.
.
At this time, most of the town residents had gone back to their houses to rest.
Allen's arrival was silent and did not attract anyone's attention.
Except for a grocery store owner who was closing his stall.
When Alan entered the town of Cambridge in a carriage, the grocery store owner kept staring at him closely and never looked away.
The grocery store owner's name was Ariel. He had messy red curly hair and a beard that was knotted and branched because he was too lazy to take care of it. And his figure had long been fattened by years due to his long-term drinking habit.
At first glance, he looks no different from other greasy and decadent middle-aged uncles.
But no one knows that he has another identity.
And an incredible experience like a heroic epic.
He believes in the dark god.
When he was young, he participated in the "Battle of the Fall" between the "Church of Light" and the "God of Darkness", and in that battle, he chopped off the heads of three bishops of the Church of Light with an axe.
He was once canonized as a "Guardian Knight" by Delphi, the high priest of the Black Temple.
You must know that there are only seven "Guardian Knights" in the Dark Temple, which is a very high honor. Only the seven most heroic and powerful warriors can obtain such a title.
However, with the passage of time and the silence of the God of Darkness, the once heroic and capable knight has now become a greasy and decadent grocery store owner, living in seclusion in this inconspicuous town, drinking to drown his sorrows every day.
Escape from reality in the smell of alcohol.
There was no trace of spirit in him.
Even if he told the people around him that he was once the guardian knight of the Black Temple who killed three bishops, the people around him would think it was a joke.
They will surely joke in a mocking tone: "Oh, Ariel? If he can become a guardian knight, then I will be the king!"
Of course, Ariel is not willing to fall for himself.
The reason why he was reduced from a guardian knight to an ordinary uncle was because he lost his "divine favor".
If the source of magician's power is "magic power", then for the priests of the Church of Light and the believers of the God of Darkness, their power comes from "divine favor".
The more devout your faith is, the stronger your "divine favor" is, and the more power you can borrow from the gods.
Like the Pope of the Church of Light, he can even perform "divine subjugation" to exert power as if the goddess of light has descended in person.
In the Dark Temple, the person with the strongest "godly favor" is undoubtedly Delphi, the high priest of the Far North.
After all, among all the believers of the God of Darkness, only Delphi can directly communicate the will of the god with the help of the divine family.
Of course, in the recent years when the God of Darkness has been silent, the "divine favor" among believers has gradually faded away, and they can no longer exert any power.
Even the high priest Delphi has not received a new oracle for a long time.
This is also an important reason why the Dark Temple failed to recover.
As a former guardian knight, Ariel has not felt the breath of God's favor for too long.
He even had such doubts about the gods he believed in, the honorary title of "Guardian Knight", and the magnificent experiences he had in his youth. They were all imagined by him and did not actually exist.
until today
When Alan York arrived in the town of Cambridge in a carriage, the long-dormant divine power in Ariel's soul suddenly jumped uncontrollably.
"Crack!"
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the scarlet wine spilled all over the floor.
Ariel himself suddenly woke up from his drunken state and looked at the well-dressed, slim and handsome young man with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh my god, my God! Who is that young man? Why is the aura of the gods on his body stronger than that of the high priest Delphi?"
"Moreover, why did the divine power in my body revive when he approached? What on earth is going on? It's simply unbelievable!"
