Chapter 79 The Upcoming Ceremony

Abner, whose head was muddy, wanted to say something else, but the moment he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the quietness of this casino was a little out of place.

Because Lynn and the others almost entered at the same time as the casino opened, it was too early, so there were no outsiders.

But the absence of outsiders does not mean that it can be quiet enough to hear the needle drop.

Abner looked around sharply.

Huang Mao and others had fallen to the ground at some point; although the dealer was still standing, the expression on his face had completely froze, like a standing dead man.

"You, what did you do?"

Looking at his actions, Lynn said softly, "Isn't it normal to maintain the necessary silence for the meeting?"

Abner asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"It's simple," Lynn said. "I heard, you guys, that a ceremony is being planned."

"A ritual that awakens the gods?"

Abner was shocked: "You know that too?"

"I know, but it's not clear, so I really want to be clear."

"." After thinking for a while, Abner said, "Yes, we are indeed preparing a ceremony to call the gods, and the gods called are our great Lord of joy, if you want to pay homage to the real God, I can be your introducer and allow you to join our order without hindrance."

"Stop." Lynn interrupted Abner, "I'm not interested in joining anyone, let alone a shady organization, I just want to know if your ceremony is ready, and when will it be held? ."

"."

Abner's voice, who was cut off by the last thought, seemed a little weak: "No."

"We've spent a lot of effort collecting for years, but, so far, we've come close."

Abner said: "This ceremony was originally proposed by the bishop, who said he had discovered a shocking secret in a ruin somewhere."

"My lord, in fact, he was not killed by the other gods, nor was he exiled from the world. He still sleeps in the earth beneath our feet, waiting for the right time to be awakened by the chosen person."

"And, he also found a way to wake up my lord in that ruin."

"—Make a human body full of desires, so that it has a place to descend."

"The left arm is greedy, the right arm is gluttonous; the lower limbs are debauchery, and laziness is the backbone; the head contains vanity, and the soul is attached to the master."

Lynn mused: "So, what you're doing is looking for people with these characteristics and taking those parts from them?"

"It's okay to look for people with these characteristics," Abner said, "but I don't know if it's taking away their hands or feet."

"We are only responsible for finding people, leading them to joy, and then handing them over to the bishop who have completely surrendered to joy. After that, we have nothing to do with us."

"Okay." Lynn shrugged, "So, when are you ready?"

"How do I know?" Abner said dissatisfied, "Except for the ruler, we have already identified the targets, and there are even multiple options, like I was arranged to find the vain person, originally it was a choice I found a female student from the Rhine Institute, but because the female student was too shrewd and the person I sent there was not very good at thinking, I finally failed after a long delay, so I immediately looked away and changed someone—that Although the human foundation is not enough, it only took me 10 minutes to let him sink into vanity, and the growth rate of vanity is extremely fast, and it didn't take long before I handed him over to the bishop."

"So, what is so special about this master?" Lynn asked curiously, "Since you can make desire grow, then it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate such a person, right?"

"No, it's very difficult, very difficult." Abner said, "Desires can only be established in areas that one can reach or have the potential to reach."

"For example, a person who is lazy and unwilling to work all day fantasizes about ruling the world. When he meets someone, he tells him that he is the king of the future world. What such a person can have is not a master, but an attending physician."

"."

"So the person who dominates must be a person with extremely strong abilities, and no matter where he goes, he is within the range of the spotlight lantern."

"Although I don't want to admit it, we really can't appear around these people with a purpose. Because of this, the progress of the ceremony is stuck here." After a pause, Abner continued, "However, this Maybe only temporarily."

"Maybe it's because the efficiency of those people is too low. The bishop suddenly said a few days ago that we need to speed up the progress and can't wait any longer, so he dispatched himself."

"Even the bishop, have you been dispatched?" Lynn was thoughtful.

The boss couldn't sit still and shot, thinking that it must be because the person who came to investigate him was caught by himself.

"Has anyone been found?"

Abner said: "I don't know, I haven't been to the church for the past few days. However, since the bishop has taken action, it should be something to gain."

Before he finished speaking, Abner's expression suddenly changed, and his palms caressed his lower back.

Lynn, whose eyes had been locked on him, immediately noticed his abnormality: "What's the matter with you?"

Abner shook his head and gave him a deep look: "Now I believe it."

"The world may really be on your side."

"Just now, I felt the call," he said. "The bishop is calling us to assemble through his brand."

"Maybe the ceremony is really about to start."

"Oh?" Lynn squinted and smiled, "Then, lead the way."

The Goddess of Starlight is the mainstream belief of the Holy Starlight Empire, and under the deliberate guidance of the empire, this belief has slowly penetrated the Rhine region, replacing the former god's position in the hearts of the locals. When they were integrated, the kingdom was established, and the star goddess naturally became the only mainstream.

In the city of Catalena, there are many churches dedicated to the goddess. There are so many churches that you can see one on almost every street. The larger streets are one in the middle of the street.

With so many churches, it is naturally impossible for each of them to be overcrowded, and those located in the corners of the city-state are the most easily forgotten.

For example, in the northwest corner of Catalena City, there is such an unattended church.

In the main hall, which was slightly run down, but still clean, the priest in black robe stood in front of the goddess's statue, raised his head slightly, and his turbid eyes were full of strange light that could not be seen through.

Behind him, a young man with a puzzled face asked strangely: "Sir, why are you suddenly so anxious to start the ceremony? That person's desires have not risen to an uncontrollable critical point, right?"

The priest didn't turn his head, but responded in a vicissitudes of life: "It's too late."

"We have been noticed by our previous aggressive move. If we don't speed up the progress, I think it is very likely that we will not have the opportunity to hold the ceremony again."

The young man scratched his head, seeming to understand.

"Then, a little earlier, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The priest sighed slightly.

"hope so."

He folded his hands and prayed devoutly to the god in front of him.

"This is your arrival ceremony, please protect us and don't go out on business."
