Whispering Poems

Chapter 459 The Last Priest
"Old God-Earthshaker Worm?"

Hearing this god, Xia De was quite surprised, because he had heard of this old god.

The old god [Earthshaker Worm] also has another well-known title, that is, the "God of Earthquakes".Unlike the old god "World Python" that the doctor once mentioned was related to sand and dirt, the main power of the old god "Earth Shaker" is earthquakes.

Xia De once read in his textbook that in the old age when civilization was still uncivilized, once an earthquake happened, the local people would find believers of this god and organize large-scale prayer and sacrificial activities.

But this old god has gone, like Shade's acquaintance [Innocent Creator], he left in the Fifth Epoch.Moreover, [Earth Shaker Worm] is not a good god, this is a real evil god, and when the "wrath of the earth" is appeased through sacrifices, a living sacrifice must be performed.

Xia De glanced at the kind old man in front of him, she looked very different from those murlocs who also worshiped evil gods.

"Not only is it the last member of the order, but I think it is also the last generation of priests."

The old lady Yilar shook her head with a smile, and Miss Aurora also responded with a smile:

"The purpose of our visit this time is clearly stated in the letter. This is the one, Hamilton"

She points to Shad who is holding the cat:

"I want him to feel the power of the great one you believe in."

"Oh, the young people from the city all look good."

The old man praised Xia De for his appearance, then reached out and grabbed his hand, and nodded after a while:

"No problem, he has no conflict with the power of our lord."

Ring Warlocks can't master any spirit runes, the conflict with their own core spirit runes, and the characteristics of the soul may lead to the rejection of certain spirit runes.

The old lady Yilar probably used some kind of magic to confirm Shade's affinity for the power of the old god [Earth Shaker].This kind of magic is very common, and the Orthodox Church also has similar magic, which is used to confirm whether they are suitable for learning magic when training ring warlocks.

"Very good, I can feel that this Mr. Hamilton is very suitable to be a priest of the gods. If he can appear 50 years earlier, I will let him join the religious order no matter what."

"Oh, that's not okay."

The witch still kept that smile:

"Mr. Hamilton is mine."

"That would be a pity."

The old man shook his head, and the two maids finally boiled hot water and began to pour tea for the three of them.The maids cleaned the teacup, but there were still stubborn yellow stains on the surface of the teacup. Xia De noticed that Miss Aurora didn't even touch the cup of tea, so she just picked it up symbolically and didn't drink it.

In the subsequent chat, Xia De also confirmed that his understanding was correct.The old lady Yilar is the last believer of the long-gone old god - [Earthshaker Worm], at least for the religious group, except for individual believers.

As the last priest and keeper of secrets, she is responsible for the property and knowledge of the order.Because it is almost impossible to find new believers, and she is not at ease leaving the position of priest to strangers, so she decided to end the history of the entire order in her own generation.

Miss Aurora met her five years ago, and after thinking about it, the old lady Yilar decided to leave the property and secrets of the church to this powerful witch.

Apart from helping guard the temple and the murals with the history of the order, and preventing strangers from intruding and destroying them, the old man didn't make any other demands on the witch.She thought that instead of letting those properties be buried deep in the ground and that knowledge forever dusty, it would be better for more powerful ring magicians to obtain them and pass on the power of the order.

This can be regarded as an alternative method to continue the history of the church.

For the Witch, this is equivalent to the fact that after the death of the old man in front of her, she can obtain a large amount of property and all the knowledge and secrets of the entire sect.

Xia De was very envious of what happened to Miss Aurora.

After chatting for a few more words, the old man confirmed that what Xia De wanted to obtain was the [Shock] spirit rune, and after briefly asking him about the "earthquake", he told Xia De that they were going to the old temple.

The real temple of the God of Earthquake is underground, and the specific location is the underground of the ruins outside the town of Herkys.

The ruins of Herkys Town were left by the early civilization of the Sixth Epoch. When the archaeological team from the Kingdom of Delarion came to investigate decades ago, the old lady Yilar was also a guide.When she talked about that incident, she happily showed Xia De and the witch the photos she took at that time, and Xia De actually saw her acquaintance in the photos, who lived in Maowei Lane, Tobesk University District The figure of Professor Manning.

Decades ago, Professor Manning looked not as old as he is now. He stood with his companions, leaning on a shovel and smirking at the camera.And the old lady Yilar looked younger than she is now. At least in the photo, she didn't use crutches, so she could stand there and take pictures by herself.

And when he heard that Xia De actually knew the person in the photo, the old man actually pulled out all the photos related to that archaeological activity from the album and handed them to Xia De:

"Give these to your friends."

This was easy for Xia De, but Xia De asked hesitantly:

"Don't you want to keep them? These are memories."

"Memories are here, not in photographs."

The old man smiled kindly, pointed to his head, and then said:

"After I die, I'm afraid these photos will be thrown away as garbage. Instead of this, it's better to give them to someone who can keep them properly."

Miss Aurora winked at Xia De, and Xia De then took the photo:
"Okay, I will send them to Professor Manning. I think the professor will be very happy when he sees these photos and remembers his experience in this town."

The old lady Yilar smiled with her mouth open, showing a row of yellow teeth that were about to fall out.

The departed gods still have believers in the material world, and what kind of feelings these believers hold to continue to believe in the gods, Xia De is completely unable to understand.

He had seen the last believer of the old god [Innocent Creator], but the other party turned into an angel and flew away on the spot.The situation faced by the old lady Yilar in front of her was even worse. When Ms. Gina Angela Sewell was determined to close the underground ruins of Tobesk, she had at least two companions by her side, and the old lady Yilar only myself.

But at least she didn't seem sad or unable to accept it. After chatting with Xia De and Miss Aurora for a while, she got up and took them to the ruins.

The town does not have the city's horse-drawn carriage system, so the group walked on foot.Fortunately, the town is not big, and the ruins are not far from the town.
