Heaven's Formula

After the fog cleared, a biting cold wind blew out from the tower, causing the guides who were guarding the door to step back a few steps.

But Taxis didn't evade, letting her red hair dance in the wind.

When the cold wind subsided, she stroked the collar on her neck and stepped into the stone tower.

The girl's figure was quickly engulfed by the darkness inside the tower.

At this time, the indifferent expression of the passer-by finally showed a trace of fear.

According to the records in the classics, death is not the only ending for those who fail the challenge—someone has the intention of quitting halfway, or knows that he will not be able to reach the top of the tower, and chooses to return the same way. If he is lucky enough, he will be able to leave the Dragon Tower.But they more or less left behind some sequelae, such as insanity, or no matter how hard to recover from the injuries, this also made fewer and fewer demon possessors who were willing to become dragonborn through the road to the dragon.

After all, demon possessors are already superior to humans, and there are not a few dragon descendants inherited by blood, so why should they take this risk to challenge themselves?

It wasn't until standing in front of the tower that the guide realized this gap again.

No matter how much they slander Taxis Yongyi, she is an existence that they will never be able to reach in their lifetime.

……

After the gate was closed, Taxis found that the tower was surprisingly empty.

She neither found the expected spiral staircase, nor did she see the patio that runs through the entire tower. After passing through the corridor, she saw only a square hall in front of her—there were clusters of burning flames hung on the pillars on both sides, which just reflected the The silhouette of the hall.

What surprised her even more was that it didn't look like no one had been here for a long time.

The lines carved on the stone wall are clearly visible, and there is not much dust on the ground; beside the bonfire in the center of the hall, she even saw a pot of boiling water.

And the last recorded challenger was already 15 years ago!

She walked to the campfire, picked up the kettle, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

I saw many small names engraved on the floor under the kettle.

"This is……"

Taksis took out a burning log from the fire and brought it to the floor.

No mistake, this should be the name of the challenger.After looking carefully, she realized that in the past hundreds of years, many people started from here and embarked on the road to ascending the dragon.

There are several familiar names among them.

Not only did they successfully climb to the top, but they also left their names in the collection of the Church of Hera.

In other words, they are all their predecessors.

Thinking of this, Taxis smiled—wondering whether the first dragon descendant who accomplished the feat of climbing a dragon also left his name here?

But gradually, her smile froze on her face.

The girl sensed something was wrong.

That is too many names.

She didn't notice this detail before, so she didn't check the difference under her feet, but when her eyes moved with the name, she found that the handwriting couldn't be seen at a glance!

Every stone slab on the floor of the hall is actually engraved with a name. After a little calculation, it can be concluded that this number has far exceeded the total number of dragon descendants.If the Holy Wing Islands really had so many demon possessors who could transform dragons, why would they need to sign a truce with Nattatin?I am afraid that the entire surrounding area of ​​Tranquility Sea has already been brought under Hera's command.

And by the time she saw the third circle out from the campfire, the names had become distorted and illegible.

Taxis swallowed her saliva.

A strange thought suddenly came to her mind.

The names further afield no longer spoke their language, which was why it seemed so strange.

Looking at the ground shrouded in darkness in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill.

Taksis didn't continue to explore, and only after returning to the campfire did she feel a little more warmth in her body.

Why has no one mentioned this matter in the classics of the church?

Taxis returned her gaze to the ground.

——Did these names really be engraved by themselves?

If no one remembers this matter, does it mean that she will also forget this scene completely after leaving Denglong Pagoda?

This ancient tower is really different.

Its depths must hide secrets beyond its comprehension.

Suddenly, Taxis' eyes stopped on a name.

how can that be! ?

Her pupils shrank suddenly, why did this person's name appear in the Dragon Tower?

call--

Almost at the same time, the flames shook.

A short dagger was stretched out from the darkness and stabbed at Taksis's back.

In a trance, her reaction was obviously half a beat slower. When the stinging pain spread, she realized the existence of the attacker!

Bang!

Taxis rolled forward on the spot, directly smashing the bonfire into pieces.

The enemy wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but was hit by the water bottle thrown by her. Even in the process of dodging, the blow was powerful and heavy. With a loud noise, the water bottle was directly smashed in the air. Waves of ripples also appeared in front of the attacker.

Taxis' heart sank.

That's the effect of the mage's shield!

In front of the scattered flames, the enemy fully revealed his true body.

The visitor was wearing a pitch-black combat short robe, surrounded by hazy smoke, his facial features were hidden under the hood, and only a pair of cold eyes could be vaguely seen.

"As expected of Hera's new star, he was able to avoid my silent sneak attack." His voice was pale and hoarse, "But even a small wound is enough to affect the balance of the outcome. You should already feel Now, are your hands and feet not as flexible as before?"

There is poison on the dagger.

Taxis knew this well, the numbness was spreading from her waist to her limbs, like a bone-eating snake.

The enemy is fully prepared - the mist technique can obscure one's position, giving you an advantage in close combat; and even if you are hit, the mage's shield can effectively reduce the damage.For a melee target who cannot use spells but has an extremely strong body, this set of spell combinations is the best choice.

"Did the Mage Tower send you here?" Taxis said in a deep voice.

"Why ask so clearly." The other party grinned, "You're dead anyway, aren't you?"

As soon as the words fell, a translucent giant fist rushed out from the side of Taksis, and slammed heavily on her body!

Magic Fist of the Evocation Department——

Besides the assassin in front of you, are there other enemies hiding in the hall?

Taksis only had time to tense her body, and before she raised her blocking arm, she was blown away, and crashed headfirst into the stone wall of the hall!

Chapter 677 God Comes

……

"Your Majesty, the Art of Mystery has been constructed." Archbishop Bolton reminded in a low voice, "We can start now."

Pope Pella IV nodded, turned his head and glanced at his servants.

The latter hurriedly trot to his side, holding up the crown in his hand.

The latter picked up the ceremonial crown, slowly put it on his head, and then walked outside the cathedral door.

"His Holiness has arrived—"

Amidst the sound of horns, the main door of the cathedral opened, and as the dazzling sunlight poured into the main hall, warm cheers erupted from the square.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on this prestigious and powerful person.

Supported by many attendants, the Pope walked out of the church unhurriedly and stepped onto the podium that had been set up.Tens of thousands of believers in the square bowed their heads to him to show their high respect, and he knew that there were many unseen places, such as the streets and taverns outside the Holy See area, and even other fiefdoms of the Holy Wing Islands. The people, just like believers, look forward to him bringing new light to the church.

He is 130 six years old.

In his more than 40 years of reign, he has worked diligently to open up the soil of the church and push the power of the dragonborn to a new peak.During this period of ruling the kingdom, the war between the Holy Wing Islands and Nattatin came to an end, Rangis Oceania and the Republic of Sandboats shunned before the Dragonborn, the power of domestic chaebols increased steadily, and a large number of factories sprung up like mushrooms after rain. It can be said that everything is moving in a good direction.

It's a pity that Pella IV always has a trace of regret in his heart.

That is the lack of one earth-shattering event in his career in charge.

For example, the previous pope unified the entire island, and led the Tranquility Sea countries to sign the law of the sea, and to determine the diplomatic and commercial principles that are mutually recognized.And the last pope, with the representative merit of summoning the gods to the world, opened a new era of Hera's blessing to the world.

There is no doubt that the names of these great leaders will be sung with the church forever.

The only thing Pella IV lacked was such an opportunity.

But now, he seems to have waited for the opportunity.

At the moment when the church's hearts were most shaken, reproduce the miracle of Hera's coming, and use the condensed will of the believers to completely defeat the mage tower that is about to move, so that the glory of the dragon descendant will continue for the next hundred years-this is him. As the Pope's unshirkable responsibility!

"Everyone, I believe you have heard about the disaster that happened in Azure Fort."

"The Son of the Holy Spirit was unfortunately murdered, and the city was almost destroyed because of an evil disaster."

"But I have to tell you that there is a fundamental difference between this incident and the disasters of evil spirits in the past. It is completely a premeditated and purposeful man-made incident! Yes, someone not only caused this murder, but also polluted the Holy Son. soul, and use it to create the most vicious and terrifying demons!"

"Their sole purpose is to subvert the church from its foundation!"

The voice of the pope rolled over the Holy See area like thunder, and continued to spread, and what responded to him was an overwhelming cry!

"Find out the truth and punish the perpetrators severely!"

"An enemy of Hera must die!"

"Someone dares to associate with demons? Your Majesty, please order me to destroy them!"

Pella raised her hand to silence the shouting, "Of course, the church will never allow any demons to make trouble in the land illuminated by the sun god, no matter it is naturally formed or man-made. Those who violate this prohibition, namely He is the eternal enemy of the church! Next, Goddess Hera will be invited to witness the beginning of this holy battle for us. From today, the church will launch a purge operation in the Holy Wing Islands and even the countries of the Tranquil Sea. Or potential blasphemers, regardless of whether they have participated in the demon incident in Azure Fort, the jury will wipe them out completely!"

"Now, let us pray for Hera's coming!"

The pope raised his scepter and pointed it straight up to the sky.

All the believers in the square knelt down with a clatter.

They clasped their hands together in front of their chests, closed their eyes, and chanted together in a low voice.

"Uh...shall we do the same?" Wu Yue asked with his head tilted.

"No, you just need to watch." Olina's eyes were all focused on her younger brother at the moment, seeing Oren's act of closing his eyes and praying like everyone else, a feeling of reluctance surged in her heart .

My younger brother should not belong to the gods.

He has a better place to go.

Amid the prayers of the crowd, a series of incredible changes took place inside and outside the Holy See area.

For example, the flowers in the flowerbed raised their branches and stood up one by one towards the sky.The intoxicating fragrance of flowers also filled the air, making the guests present seem to be in a wonderful illusion.

"How is this going……"

Wu Yue swallowed in disbelief.

He saw with his own eyes that the half-drinked wine glass was filled up again, and exuded a more alluring mellow aroma than before.

"This is a sign that the gods are about to appear." Olina murmured, "It is said that in the kingdom of Hera, the sky is always clear, the flowers will always be in full bloom, and all kinds of delicacies are inexhaustible. , Inexhaustible. Could it be... Goddess Hera intends to turn the entire city of Hera into her divine kingdom?"

Suddenly, a pleasant string music sounded in the sky.

Olina raised her head and followed the prestige.

The scorching sun that was still hanging in the sky just now has disappeared.

In its place was a pure white tulle—it stretched out towards the sky, as if it enveloped the clouds, but also seemed to be itself made of clouds.

And in the center of the tulle is the figure of a woman.

She occupies almost half of the sky, and no words can describe her magnificence and magnificence. As long as the god stretches out his hands, he can embrace the entire city of Hila in his arms.

"The gods are still there."

"Let me just say, the sun is still hanging in the sky every day, how can the sun god be swallowed by mere demons."

"It seems that the rumors of Azure Fort are not credible, and our worries are unfounded."

There were whispers in the VIP area.

The rich merchants who were still skeptical at first showed more devout expressions at the moment, as if they were going to donate all their property to the Church of Hera in the next moment.

Ah... that's right, this is what it feels like to be bathed in the light of the Sun God.

Pella IV opened his hands and dedicated himself to the goddess Hera without reservation.
