However, when the picture on the mirror disappeared, Allen suddenly frowned and hesitated.
Because at this moment, the prayers of believers could be faintly heard from the mysterious black crystal stone.
Different from the same hymns in the past, this time, the prayers were mixed with words such as "saint", "salvation", "secret", "judgment", etc., which he had never heard before.
This made Allen realize that the reason why the believers suddenly left the Dark Temple did not seem to be as simple as he initially thought.
"Are they carrying out some kind of death-defying operation?" Allen thought solemnly. Thinking that his life was now closely related to this group of believers, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
So, with such a mood, Allen closed his eyes and let his consciousness drift towards the black crystal.
This time, his consciousness followed the aura of the gods and directly used the body of the high priest Delphi to descend on the far north ice field just like a few weeks ago.
However, compared to the last time he arrived by mistake, this time Allen absorbed the memory fragments of the original God of Darkness, and also learned some tricks to invoke the power of the godhead itself. Therefore, he was not as simple and crude as last time.
The high priest fainted to the ground and took away control of his body. Instead, he chose to be a bystander, using Delphi's perspective to observe the situation in the far north ice field without Delphi himself being aware of it.
At this moment, the night was getting darker, and the believers were a little tired after days of traveling. So the high priest Delphi ordered everyone to set up tents, rest on the spot, and satisfy their hunger with black bread and bacon brought from the temple.
As for the high priest himself, he walked aside alone, sat quietly on a cold stone, looked at the dark night sky, and sighed silently.
"My God...this time, will you still pay attention to us and protect us like last time..."
There was a little confusion in Delphi's voice, and she was obviously a little unsure about the success or failure of this operation.
With the help of his perspective, Allen understood that in fact, the high priest's heart was not as strong and confident as he had always shown.
The reason why he appeared confident and sure of victory in front of other believers was because as the leader of the Dark Temple, when there was no news from the god, he had to step forward and become the last resort and spiritual pillar for others.
Once he shows the slightest hesitation and fear, the Dark Temple may panic people and even break them into pieces.
To get through this, he must be strong...even decisive.
Only in front of the gods he believed in, Delphi dared to take off this strong disguise and show the fragility, fear and worry hidden deep in his heart.
Allen was dormant in a corner of his conscious world, quietly feeling the fluctuations of Delphi's emotions, and couldn't help but sigh softly, deeply admiring him.
However, just as the high priest Delphi was silently praying to the God of Darkness alone, a knight wearing simple armor walked straight towards this direction.
This knight's name is Refant, and he is a tall, muscular knight.
Over the years, he has been holding a two-handed heavy sword and loyally guarding the door of the Dark Temple.
But for some reason, this loyal knight's face looked worried and frustrated at this moment, and there was even a trace of doubt about the high priest.
"High Priest, after so many days, I still can't understand the decision you made," I heard Refant say hurriedly, "The last time we dealt with the Church of Light, we used up all the 'wildfire'. Now hurry up and go
Isn’t attacking the Northern Tribunal of the Church of Light the same as committing suicide?”
Hearing Refant's words, Allen, who was dormant in the consciousness of the high priest, also cheered up. After all, he was also curious about the real reason why the believers suddenly left the Dark Temple.
The high priest also turned his head, suppressed all doubts on his face, and resumed his usual indifferent and unfathomable expression.
"Because Isabella can't afford to delay." He said calmly.
Seeing the high priest's resolute attitude, Refant couldn't help but take a deep breath and clenched his fists unconsciously.
"High Priest, I understand your concern and concern for the Saint," he slightly raised his voice and said, "I also sympathize with her tragic experience of torture in the trial house over the years. However, we have now lost 'Wildfire',
There will inevitably be a huge disparity in strength with the Judgment Knights of the Church of Light stationed there, and it will be impossible to defeat them. In this way, not only will we not be able to save the saint, but we may even be buried there. I really hope you will consider it again.
Think about it."
The high priest Delphi did not answer immediately.
Facing the cold moonlight, he slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then said leisurely:
"Lei, you should remember that Bilton said that the reason why the Church of Light tortured Isabella was because she hid a secret, a secret that could completely destroy the Dark Temple. Moreover, she was very likely to be the most powerful person in this world.
The only one who knows the secret."
"Yeah, but"
"Whether she died miserably in prison with her secret, or she couldn't bear the torture and told the secret to the Church of Light, it is a loss that the Dark Temple cannot afford. We must seize the time and take risks.
"My personal guess...this secret is probably related to the coming of my god."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Allen found it difficult to remain calm.
Because just earlier today, he heard the former God of Darkness personally say, "My saint relied on the power of the gods to implant three thoughts in this poor child's head to complete today's plan."
Therefore, at this moment, when the words "Saint", "Secret" and "Advent" appeared at the same time, Allen almost instantly figured out the stakes.
As an extremely important part of the God of Darkness's layout, Saint Isabella probably knows his true identity. To be precise, she should know the fact that "Alan York is the inheritor of the God of Darkness".
If the Saint really reveals this secret during torture, then Allen's future will be miserable. He will become the number one heretic in the eyes of the Church of Light, and will be at the top of the must-kill list.
Neither the Mage Tower nor Earl William can save him. They may even hand him over voluntarily under the power of the Church of Light.
For the sake of his own life, he must find a way to rescue Isabella, and his will is even stronger than Delphi's.
Otherwise, this problem will become the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, causing him to live in panic from now on.
However, Refant still seems not to be convinced by Delphi.
"Please forgive me, High Priest," Lei suddenly drew out the long sword on his back and pointed at Delphi's chest, "I respect your piety. But for the sake of the lives of other brothers and sisters in the Dark Temple, I must stop
Such crazy behavior of yours."
While speaking, Refant used all the divine power in his body, making the blade of the sword shrouded in black mist and exuding a dangerous aura.
Seeing such a scene, Delphi frowned slightly.
He knew that Refant, as a younger generation of the Dark Temple, had never witnessed the miracles performed by the God of Darkness. Lei’s loyalty to the Temple was not so much based on faith as on the teachings of his family and his colleagues.
feelings between.
Because of this, it was difficult for Ray to truly understand the importance of the secret. As a young man who valued love and justice, he could only choose to use this method to prevent Delphi from taking his relatives and friends to die.
In a sense, what Ray did was right.
Thinking of this, Delphi sighed.
Although he is the person with the strongest divine favor in the Dark Temple, if he suffers a full blow from Lei, the end may not be easy.
But things are far from over.
Soon, two more knights appeared behind him. Like Refant, they pointed at him with long swords imbued with divine power.
"High Priest, give the order to withdraw the troops quickly!" Lei continued, "I will count to three, if you don't do it, don't blame us for being rude."
"three."
"two."
"one"
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Before he finished saying "one" and Lei Ye didn't do anything, he saw with a shocked look on his face that the high priest Delphi actually fainted and fell to the ground.
Then, above the white snow, thick black mist rolled in. Unknowingly, Lei remembered the very similar scene that happened in the Dark Temple not long ago.
His legs trembled, he dropped the sword with a bang, and then knelt down on the ground in fear.

Due to the recent strict inspection, some chapters have been blocked and need to be revised, and some adjustments have been made to the subsequent outline. I am sorry that this chapter is a little late.
At the same time, I also want to investigate, what kind of plot are you most looking forward to seeing in the next story?
a. The interaction between God and believers: brainstorming the show-off route
b. The mystery of past grudges: suspenseful reveal route
c. Magician’s scientific research routine: relaxed and refreshing route
d. The game between various forces: the route of the mastermind behind the scenes
(The recent revision of the outline has been a bit slow, and there are also fewer recommendation votes. I am worried that the recent plot is dull and boring qaq, so I want to know everyone's opinions and refer to it. I may focus on it in the future~)
(At the same time, I also saw that everyone reported that the plot has been somewhat repetitive recently. In fact, it is because chapters 88 and 89 have blocked content, and there are some problems with the plot rhythm. Currently, these two chapters have been revised and reset. If you are confused,
You can go back and take a look.)
ps: Thanks to Liuli Weiyue for the 1,000 reward! Thanks to Wandering Past and Xinghe Budu for the 200 reward! By the way, please give me a recommendation vote!
