Under the rays of the rising sun, the small town of Cambridge gradually wakes up, appearing peaceful and peaceful in the mist.
Allen finished his thinking and slowly stood up.
Throughout the night, he had been thinking about what the mysterious black crystal was and what its relationship was with the famous evil god "The God of Darkness".
The relationship definitely exists.
But what the specific relationship is, Allen still can't figure out.
He secretly guessed: Perhaps the black crystal was some kind of secret weapon given to devout believers by the God of Darkness, and was accidentally obtained by the original owner of the body through the sacrificial ceremony in the "Evil God's Notes".
The original intention of the God of Darkness in creating this weapon should be to take this opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of believers, so as to have a greater chance of winning in the future fight against the Church of Light.
Of course, this is just Allen's own conjecture.
As for whether the answer is this or not, it may not be truly confirmed until he is admitted to the Mage Tower and enters the library of the Mage Tower.
"No matter what, I have to be as careful as possible," Allen thought secretly. "On the one hand, if the Dark Temple knew that the things given to believers by the God of Darkness were intercepted by me, they might treat me as a dissident.
Daitian’s enemy;
"On the other hand, the Church of Light may also regard me as a member of the Dark Temple because of the black crystal. If I am not careful and caught by them, I will be tied to the stake and burned to death.
"Although the black crystal stone has brought me a lot of convenience in the process of learning magic, I still have to be vigilant and must not reveal this secret.
"I don't want to get involved in the conflict between the two gods. As a magician who can't even meditate, I'd better save my own life first!"
Thinking of this, he silently packed up his things, walked along the narrow wooden stairs, and left this inconspicuous bell tower.
The daylight was exceptionally bright today, dragging Allen's dark shadow very long.
…………
"Da da da!"
As soon as Allen came to the street, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the end of the road.
He raised his head and found that it was a group of cavalry from the Church of Light. They were wearing silver armor and milky white cloaks. They held their heads high and walked in unison, looking majestic and high-spirited.
I heard the leader waving his whip and shouting loudly:
"...His Majesty the Pope signed the latest notice! Demanding the arrest of all heretics who believe in the God of Darkness! These heretics are greedy, cunning, heinous, and do evil in the name of the evil god! Please be sure to tell everyone if you encounter a believer in the evil god.
It cannot be tolerated! Anyone who harbors or connives will be treated as an equal crime..."
Allen watched the group of people come before him, and then watched them gradually go away.
Their armor looks bright and clear, and their weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated. They are obviously the most elite military troops in the Church of Light.
Normally, cavalry like this would never appear in a sparsely populated place like Cambridge Town.
Obviously, something big must have happened that caused the Church of Light to come out in force to kill all the believers in the Dark Temple.
"This time, the Church of Light will spend a lot of money, and the followers of the God of Darkness may not be able to escape..." Seeing such a scene, Allen lowered his head and thought silently.
As far as he knew, it seemed that the evil god called the God of Darkness had fallen many years ago. If not, he would have fallen into a deep sleep.
Because of this, the Dark Temple is declining day by day. Although there are believers who resist stubbornly, they are still no match for the rising Light Church.
"I don't know if the decision made by the Church of Light has anything to do with the black crystal in my body..."
Thinking of the mysteries surrounding the black crystal, Allen sighed silently, and once again determined to remain a low-key bystander, avoiding the conflict between the two major sects as much as possible.

After dawn, Ariel opened the door of the grocery store as usual, gnawing bread and receiving customers.
But the difference is that he didn't drink today.
Because he felt that since the power of the gods had revived and the messenger had come to the world, it was necessary for him to stay awake at all times so that he could better carry out the orders of the messenger.
What if I accidentally ruined the Master Messenger's overall plan due to drunkenness...
That scene is too terrifying.
He didn't even need to wait for the Lord Messenger's punishment before he would choose to commit suicide out of extreme self-blame.
Thinking of this, he carefully poured himself a cup of black tea and took a sip, feeling refreshed and high-spirited.
At the same time, the moment he lowered his head, he saw the fat on his waist, like melted cheese, swaying in circles.
The toned abdominal muscles that once belonged to the temple's guardian knight have long since disappeared.
Thinking of last night, when the messenger encountered a thief, as a knight, he was unable to help at all due to his reduced combat effectiveness! Ariel felt very ashamed of this.
He felt that he had completely disgraced the guardian knight of the Dark Temple.
So he clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind:
"I, Ariel, must lose weight!"
…………
At this time, Ariel also heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance.
He raised his head and saw the well-equipped Knights of the Church of Light, and also saw the handsome young messenger standing on the roadside.
Recalling the total lunar eclipse that shocked the whole plane last night, Ariel couldn't help but sigh once again. Lord Messenger really knew what was going to happen. Even the Church of Light, which thinks highly of itself, was caught up in Lord Messenger's calculations and was helpless.
Continue to stay calm.
"As expected of the messenger!"
After the cavalry regiment of the Church of Light left, Ariel took three steps at a time and two steps at a time to come to the "Lord Messenger" with a feeling of reverence.
Because he was afraid that the "Emissary" would be angry, this time he did not kneel down directly. Instead, he chose to nod slightly and said to the "Emissary" respectfully:
"Sir, I am Ariel. If there is anything you need me to do in the future, just ask me."
Allen glanced at him silently, feeling a headache.
He never expected that this fat drunkard who looked like a robber would come to his door again. He was still drunk and still stubbornly called him "my lord".
Allen sighed.
Then he said to the other party in as polite a tone as possible: "Mr. Ariel, drinking is harmful to your health. Please drink less in the future, okay?"
Hearing that "Lord Messenger" no longer denied his identity, Ariel stood up straight in excitement.
He felt that the "Mr. Messenger" must have regarded him as a true confidant, so he would put forward such sincere suggestions with great sincerity.
So he responded without thinking: "Yes, sir. I have decided to quit drinking."
