At this moment, darkness enveloped the entire plane.
The everlasting holy light of the Cathedral of Light is like a small boat floating on the rough sea at this moment, and may be submerged by huge waves at any time.
The pope wears a white robe and a heavy crown. He looks particularly thin against the high dome of the church.
He had gray hair on his temples and ridges on his face, making him look a little older.
As for the other clergy, they were even more frightened.
They all stopped what they were doing and gathered in the hall, looking at the dark sky with particularly solemn expressions.
Only by staying with the Pope can they find some sense of security.
In this quiet and tense atmosphere, a priest finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and stepped forward and asked the Pope:
"His Majesty the Pope, is tonight's total lunar eclipse due to that?"
After saying this, the pastor paused for a while.
He didn't know whether he should be the first to mention that taboo word in front of the Pope.
But the Pope's performance turned out to be calmer than he imagined.
After a brief shock, the Pope quickly restored the dignified and solemn posture that a clergy should have, and replied in a calm tone:
"You're right. It's the Dark Temple's fault."
Everyone present took a deep breath.
Although the Dark Temple has been secretly carrying out sabotage recently and has rescued many prisoners from the cells of the Light Church, the abilities displayed by those heretics have always been within the scope of normal people, and they are nothing more than great strength.
A little, a little more ghost ideas, but never exerted any supernatural power.
Because of this, although the Church of Light is in dire straits, it is still able to deal with these troubles.
After all, the God of Darkness has long since fallen. The Goddess of Light is the only god in this plane.
No matter how much trouble those pagans make, they will never be able to break out of the palm of the goddess's hand.
However, what happened today confirmed the Pope’s ominous premonition a few days ago.
The reason why believers of the Dark God dare to come out to cause trouble must be because they have something to rely on.
Only God can fight against God.
And the only thing they can rely on is the God of Darkness.
"Could it be that what is recorded in the "Light Canon" is wrong and that the God of Darkness did not actually fall?"
"Today's total lunar eclipse, does it indicate that the God of Darkness is about to make a comeback?"
"..."
The clergy present became more and more panicked as they thought about it.
They couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by the followers of the Dark God.
Whether it is the unpreventable dark gods or the unpredictable conspiracy, it is an unforgettable nightmare for everyone present.
They simply don't want to face it again.
At this moment, the Pope coughed dryly, interrupting their chaotic thoughts.
I only heard the Pope say: "The Dark Temple was destroyed in our hands. As long as the goddess still protects us, even if they revive, they will eventually be defeated in our hands again."
Seeing the Pope's confident look, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought: Since the Pope is so calm, then this matter is just a small fight between the remnants of the pagans, and it is not worth worrying about. As long as the belief in the goddess is unwavering, the Pope's
If the instructions are strictly followed, then all heretics will be paper beasts, easily broken by a poke.
"Everyone, please go back," the Pope raised his voice and ordered in a more stern tone. "Just do what you have to do. Don't bother me again. A mere total lunar eclipse scared you like this! You are not worthy of doing it.
Believers of the goddess! I feel ashamed for the goddess and for you!"
Under the Pope's rebuke, everyone lowered their heads in unison, feeling deeply ashamed.
They thought: His Majesty the Pope is worthy of being the spokesperson of the Goddess of Light in the human world. He can be so calm when encountering this kind of thing. Just for this kind of psychological quality, we simply cannot compare!
They said no more, each returned to their respective posts, and never mentioned the "God of Darkness" or the "Dark Temple" again.
…………
However, after everyone left, the Pope could no longer maintain the calmness on his face.
He used his staff as a crutch, panted rapidly, and hurried towards the prayer room with three steps at a time.
Because he was walking in such a hurry, he accidentally stepped on his robe and almost fell. In the end, he relied on the "crutch" to stand firm.
The door of the prayer room slowly closed.
A candle lit quietly, illuminating the bronze statue of the goddess in the prayer room.
This bronze statue has wings on its back, its dress is fluttering, its eyes are looking straight ahead, and its perfect face has no expression, as if nothing in the world is worthy of her attention.
The pope took a deep breath, adjusted his robes, prostrated respectfully under the statue of the goddess, touched his forehead to the ground, and kissed the soil at the feet of the goddess.
With a trembling voice and the most sincere tone, he recited the hymns in the "Bible of Light" over and over again.
Then he raised his head slightly and said with a sad face:
"...Great goddess, do you know? Your old enemy who controls the night, death and deceit is resurrected today..."
The Pope's voice was full of nervousness and panic.
Like a lost child on the street, eager to find his mother's arms.
Then, a gust of wind blew.
Dust rises.
The candle goes out.
The statue of the goddess moved slightly.
The pope's eyes shone with hope.
…………
The total lunar eclipse comes and goes quickly.
When Allen's consciousness returned to the real world from the vast starry sky, the darkness shrouding the world disappeared, and the blue moon appeared in the sky again, spreading its watery moonlight to the earth.
If he hadn't seen the residents of the small town of Cambridge looking up to the sky in unison, Allen would never have believed that a total lunar eclipse that shocked the whole world had occurred a few minutes ago.
He shook his head mockingly.
I was busy advancing to become an official magician, but I accidentally missed such a big news! It was really unexpected.
But he wasn't too busy leaving the Cambridge town clock tower.
On the contrary, he still sat cross-legged on the top of the clock tower, closed his eyes, and silently observed the situation in his conscious world.
The elemental mist is still dense, forming a vast and boundless ocean.
Black crystal stones float in the middle, like a black hole that swallows all light.
There is also a thin and insignificant line, one end is connected to the lifeless mysterious plane, and the other end is connected to his conscious world.
After Allen enters the mage tower and learns the real meditation method, he can draw magic power from the void through this line.
All in all, everything went smoothly.
As long as he can pass the talent test in the mage tower next week, nothing can stop him from becoming a mage.
However, at this moment, he heard a sad call coming from the black crystal:
"My God...what have you experienced in these years..."
