black wizard Zhu Peng

"Great Ring of Time, Lord of the Silver Scorpion, have you abandoned your most pious people, my god, save me, save all beings." From time to time, some priests knelt down and shouted the holy words, and of course there were others Some priests choose to strive for more important things.

They guided the panicked and frightened townspeople to lead them to the cathedral at the center of the underground town. At least there, the statue of the Lord of the Ring of Time and the Silver Scorpion has not exploded yet, and the magnificent glory of the Holy Glory is still protecting him. People of God.

Of course, just a cathedral cannot accommodate the large number of townspeople in the town, but basically there is no need to worry about this problem. While running towards the church with food, a girl was caught by the black mist coming from all around. Due to the erosion, blue and black blood vessels appeared on her white skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eyes gradually lost their vitality, and her skin revealed the texture of white porcelain.

Immediately afterwards, she fell to the ground, and her whole body shattered like a fragile porcelain doll. What flowed out of her body was not blood, but large pieces of red powder.

"Run, run."

The broken porcelain doll girl is whispering, her lips that have turned into porcelain open and close, but she doesn't know who she is talking to or giving advice to.

The carriage was bumping violently. A young boy did not understand the nervousness and fear of his parents and sister. The father in a decent dress was driving the carriage in front. The sister threw herself into her mother's arms and cried because of excessive fear. The mother was crying while patting her daughter's back to comfort her.

She said: "The Great Ring of Time, Lord of the Silver Scorpion, will never abandon his loyal subjects, Isabel, everything will be fine, Isabel."

At this moment, due to the violent bumping of the carriage, the puppet in the arms of the young boy suddenly fell, and at the same time a gust of black-gray wind blew from behind and caught up with the galloping carriage in an instant.

The boy stood up to get his puppet, and because of the bump of the carriage, he lay down on his puppet. At this moment, a black and gray gust of wind blew past, when the smiling boy stood up holding his beloved puppet. At that time, he found that the carriage like a small house had no shed, and his mother, sister, and father who was driving in front were all gone.

The remnant body whose upper body was cut off by the black-gray blast spewed out large swaths of blood mist, dousing the little boy and bringing him the last warmth in this life. The carriage was still running, but no one knew where it would end up stop.Already, no one knows anymore.

"According to the records I know, although the silver scorpion is indeed the symbol of the ancient black wizard Angelet, but Angelet has not embarked on the road of becoming a god. He disappeared after 2000 years. Therefore, no matter how pious It's useless, what Angelet left here is just a mechanism for collecting and transforming belief energy." Five figures were suspended in the air, and they watched the entire underground town fall into darkness.

Only the very center of the underground town was supported by a burning silver radiance, but the five people present knew very well that this radiance could not last too long.

(Since Angelet has not embarked on the road to becoming a god, what is the container for staying here to absorb and transform the beliefs of people in different dimensions?)

(By absorbing "harmful substances" from the surrounding plane world at regular intervals to obtain the plane rewards for maintaining one's own existence, and then using these harmful substances to stimulate the piety of people in different dimensions, the power generated by piety is used to digest these harmful substances After the substance, it will further nourish the strength of the collection and transformation container itself, thus forming a fragile but perfect balance. Such a design is simply ingenious and exquisite.) From the perspective of a wizard, Zhu Peng had to feel that Ange The overall design of the column is exquisite and wonderful.

Although, I don't know why this powerful existence didn't come to harvest here later, but this is an excellent thing for me.

The fruit cultivated by the ancient great wizard Angelet of the Ring of Time for thousands of years, it is now time for the fruits to ripen.

Collecting the fruit, the five sanctuaries in mid-air probably have such thoughts, but at least so far no one dares to say it blatantly, not to mention that due to the intervention of their own side, the fragile balance designed by Angelet has been broken. All the malicious, harmful and expelled objects in the nearby planes, the five sanctuaries can only say that they have some room to fight back in front of these existences, but it is hard to say whether they can handle it.

Whether the fruit left by the ancient great wizard will be too heavy and hard, and whether it will kill people if it falls, is currently uncertain.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop pretending to be confused. According to the operating mechanism of this world, we may not be able to fight against the evil that will condense in the end if this continues." Zoya Anster glanced at everyone, Then he went on to say:

"Since this is the case, we might as well digest this dark invasion. We just need to digest this big head, and then find Lord Angelet's legacy. If possible, let's try to modify the operating mechanism of this world, and finally help the people here to solve it. The problem of being constantly violated by the world around us, and then we can also get the inheritance of Lord Angelet, so that everyone can benefit." Zoya Anst's rough plan sounds perfect, and at this time itself It was also impossible to formulate any exquisite, perfect and perfect plan, so everyone agreed with their own thoughts.

At this time, the young witch hunter knight Jeff and the female wizard no longer said anything about returning to their own world. For the more advanced life forms, it is easier to cross the shackles of the plane. Obtaining the inheritance of the strong in this world and improving the essence of one's own life, even if one cannot find a way back here, one can always find other opportunities to go back in one's long life in the future.

To put it bluntly, if one can be promoted to a fifth-order extraordinary, there are not too many plane worlds that cannot be visited in this huge universe and cannot be found after hard work.

Five people landed from the sky and easily sneaked into the cathedral in the center of the town. They all had to trim their appearance roughly. At this moment, the people in the cathedral were just getting out of a catastrophe, and no one would think of conducting a comprehensive investigation.

And at this moment, except for the cathedral at the core of the underground town, everything was already a scene of hellish destruction.

The ground was cracked and shattered inch by inch, and terrifying steam spewed out. Countless demons wandered, searched, and played with the remaining creatures in the town.

There are also some lucky or unlucky people who have left their own holy emblem of the silver scorpion. With their firm belief, they let the holy emblem shroud and cover them, but this is just to bring entertainment to the demons to a certain extent. Hungry, tired, exhausted and desperate, as long as the search lasts long enough, they will eventually be caught.

For a time, the number of demons entrenched in the underground town was too many, and it was the civilians in this alien space who died by themselves.

Originally, according to Angelet's plan, absorb the impurities in the surrounding plane space every other year, and then people in this world fight with faith, so that the balance of absorption, digestion, absorption, and digestion can basically be maintained, but in the process, they will continue to die Many people, but according to the fertility of human beings, this kind of metabolism is completely tolerable, and this alien space is not big in the first place, so there should be a certain consumption mechanism.

However, Angelet missed one point after all his calculations, or even if he calculated it, it would be useless: human beings are a kind of existence that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and is good at finding loopholes in rules.

……

After hundreds of years of normal operation in this alien space and small plane world, the entire plane world has become much larger and stronger, and it is thriving from the perspective of the world.

However, the human beings living in it can no longer bear the irregular day every year, and they have to constantly digest the malicious and disaster days of the neighboring world.

They modified the teachings left by the great wizard Angelet, and then built an underground town underground, so that in their daily life, they still live on the ground, carefully going out day and night, purifying their beliefs, and digesting the knowledge from the neighboring world. Maliciousness and wealth.

But in July every year, when this world absorbs malicious and disasters from neighboring worlds, Angelet's design has an alarm mechanism, so people in this small world can quickly retreat to the underground world after receiving the alarm , and then cover it with the power of the revised teachings and beliefs, avoiding the black July.

Originally, with loopholes like this, the population died less. Just the explosive exponential growth of human reproduction, this small world couldn't stand it.

However, after research, the town government finally implemented a family planning-like policy, strictly limiting the total number of births, so that the operating rules of the entire world can be self-consistent.

But, in fact, it only seems to be self-consistent. If it could be done like this, Angelet would not let the dead people in this world go around. What he wanted was only income, not psychological in itself. Abnormal, can't see others feel better.

The existence of the underground town allows people in this small world to avoid the dark and raging seventh month. Fewer people die, and then the strength and purity of belief will decline irreversibly. If it is in a world of belief, this is just The greatness of a certain god is the common loss of all the gods, but in this small world run by Angelet privately, it means that the "digestion" ability of the plane has declined.

The digestive ability of the plane is declining, but because of the world's operating mechanism, the "food" drawn from all around every year has not decreased.

No big changes can be seen in a short period of time, but year after year, day after day, and thousands of years later, the dark side of the entire alien space is boiling and restless like a volcanic lava that is about to erupt. It can be said that Zhu Peng And others discovered that the underground town is just an introduction, allowing the surging darkness to have a channel to spew out in advance.

In fact, if it continues to accumulate like this, it won’t take another few hundred years for this small world to be pulled into the endless abyss, where even the core cathedral of the underground town will be eroded, demonized, and even destroyed in an instant. to destruction!

In the underground town, countless demons began to hunt and fight each other, either to snatch the small amount of human blood, or for other interests, or just to satisfy their bloodthirsty and killing desires.

They will not take the initiative to attack the cathedral shrouded in silver light now, but when the final evil takes shape, a decisive battle is inevitable after all.

Demons are creatures of chaos, and their position is very chaotic. Many times, people can control and drive them as long as they pay a negligible benefit.But when driving demons, always have a knife in hand, because their position is very confusing.

Zhu Peng, dressed in torn sackcloth, wandered among the pilgrims. He pretended to be an injured person, so he leaned against the corner and did not participate in the pilgrimage.

Faith is most sincere only after being baptized in blood!

This is a sentence I once read in a book commenting on the belief in conferring gods. At this moment, the situation in front of me confirms this truth:

Countless blood-bathed people, they just lost their relatives, wives, daughters, and friends. At this moment, they can't care about their grief, kneel before their gods and shout out the holy words fanatically.

In the middle of the cathedral, there is a sacred coffin with the image of a mighty half-scorpion inlaid on the surface, suspended by iron chains around it.

Zhu Peng could feel that everyone's beliefs were invested here, and then spread into silver divine light.

(It's really interesting, what is the existence in it? Sacred objects, artifacts...Godhead?) It can be used as a transfer device between faith and divine power, no matter how against the heavens Angelet's witchcraft is, no matter what It can turn decay into magic, and it cannot be a low-grade thing to speculate rationally, because it is unnecessary.

It's as if someone would wait an extra 10 minutes for the bus in order to save a dollar, while those with better financial conditions would choose to take a taxi.

It's like someone who reads novels and only reads pirated copies, and is even complacent and complacent about it, because he cares about the ten yuan a month.And some people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on their favorite works, which is the same as one million, also because it is unnecessary.

Mind, caring about the ten yuan a month is not because of thrift, most of them are actually because of poverty.

Throwing 100 yuan to one of your favorite works is the same as 100 million yuan. It doesn't mean that you are stupid and rich, but because you are rich, you think your mood at that moment is worth the [-] and [-] million yuan.

Even if the ancient wizard Angelet, the ring of time, had the heaven-defying ability to create voids and turn decay into magic, he didn't need to make such an effort, because an artifact is not difficult for him to obtain. For the miraculous tens of hundreds of years of work, he went out to find an extraordinary existence and grab another artifact.

Zhu Peng understands this kind of mentality very well, and the problems that can be settled with property are not problems... Although he has neither money nor property now, embarrassing.

Zhu Peng could feel the transformation of faith in the holy coffin, and so could other people, and some people couldn't help it because of it.

The witch hunter knight Jeff looked at the half-hollow holy coffin, his eyes were full of fire, and his pupils revealed a faint silver light. In the world of witches, the Holy See is the greatest source of power. Jeff, who has tempered his faith and will, has never felt so close to God.

(As long as, as long as I get it, I can even become a god!) Just when Jeff's reason was about to be unable to suppress the heat in his heart, Nakato Villen suddenly appeared on the side, and he pressed Jeff's just-blooming Palms of silvery white light.

"Don't go crazy, think about it clearly, the power of belief accumulated over thousands of years is accumulated here, if you want to take it forcibly at this time, you must first fight with this power of faith, even if you succeed, without this power Deterrence, the dark forces outside will rush in immediately, and you have to fight again, do you really think it is possible for you to win under such circumstances?"

At the same time, on the other side, Zoya Anst held down the equally fanatical witch Dara. Both she and the Seven Pirate King Nakato Velen came from the undead world where gods walk on the earth, so when facing the holy The people in the coffin could still maintain a certain degree of calmness. Although their hearts were also eager, after Zhu Peng sent a message to remind them with mental power, they all reacted instantly and suppressed the other two.

"Instead of doing it now, it's better to wait until the silver scorpion belief and the dark power fight to the death. No, the dark power outside is even far stronger than the silver scorpion belief. We even have to help the church suppress the dark power, and then do it." It's their own business." Zoya Anst pressed Dara's hand, and relayed what Zhu Peng taught her, but in her heart, she couldn't help but marvel at the calmness and rationality of this man, Daxiu Victor.

Just as Nakato Velen and Zoya Anst were far calmer than the knight Jeff and the witch Dara when facing the holy coffin, Zhu Peng was also far calmer than this when facing the holy coffin. The two became more calm.

In addition to his own quality, it is also because in the world dominated by wizards, the path of belief in conferring gods is a path that has been defeated and denied. Zhu Peng once participated in a spy mission, and was swept away by the Kasa cosmic storm. The gods can't even deal with the strong among legends and demigods.

Belief in the system of conferring gods, so it was judged by the wizarding world as a wrong evolutionary path, at least, far from being the most powerful and superior evolutionary path of life forms.

Chapter 24 Cathedral, Silent Hill

Blood is the carrier of the soul.

The soul is the currency of the gods.

Therefore, under the system of belief in gods, especially at the initial stage, primitive bloody sacrifices are often unavoidable. All living beings are lambs shepherded by gods. The desire to eat and drink is undoubtedly to please my god.

Under the horrific pressure between life and death, people can see themselves more clearly, and the soul will be purified by the burning of emotions. At this time, swallowing is a positive supplement, delicious and tender.

At the beginning, the archbishop in charge, Dolma Leo, was not so crazy. She chose to sacrifice herself at the beginning. Of course, it was not a full sacrifice, but it was enough to prove her faith... This is a bit scary The woman dug out her own eyes with two knives after a grand ceremony!

While blood was flowing down her cheeks, silver holy brilliance filled her eyes, forcing this mortal to have a considerable degree of power: the pupil of energy, the eye of truth.

"God said: 'Those who love me will be loved by me, and even if they encounter swords in the sea of ​​fire, they will surely be saved'." Looking around with those silver eyes of burning energy, Archbishop Dolma Leo In such a low voice, at this moment, her power made countless believers around her choose to kneel down, and the archbishop has thus obtained the supreme and unambiguous authority in the church.

"...This guy should have the blood of the gods, or the blood left by the great wizard Angelet. If Master Angelet chose the road of conferring gods back then, this woman would really be a descendant of the gods. Demigods are easy."

"You are talking about the first generation or the second generation of god descendants. When it is passed down to her generation, how can there be any power left? The reason why she can get the response of the 'god' so easily is probably the great wizard An What kind of mechanism did Ge Lie set up here, the blood descendants he left here will receive preferential treatment with higher authority." Daxiu Victor, Nakato Velen, Zoya Anst, and the knight Jeff also Having Dara the Witch is like a wolf among sheep.

At this moment, a wolf stepped out, and he chose to be at least a shepherd dog on the bright side.

The dome of the cathedral suddenly spread a dazzling white radiance. Jeff, the witch hunter knight of Sanctuary rank, spread the sacred light all over his body, and slowly descended in mid-air, just like a battle angel who descended from myth to the world to cleanse evil. .

Jeff had already put on his original armor and long sword. While spreading his power, he showed off the recently learned words of the Silver Scorpion and landed in front of Archbishop Dolma Leo and bowed deeply.

"God's believer, knight Jeff, by God's order, let the holy flame purify the darkness!" Inexplicably, although it was a language he had never heard before, everyone understood what he said. Obviously, Jeff's actions at this time were approved by his companions.

Moreover, in theory, this guy didn't tell a single lie, but his words successfully deceived almost everyone.

Archbishop Dolma Leo stared at the man in front of him with those flaming energy pupils. At this moment, an orange-red flame suddenly flew out from the crowd and landed in front of Dolma Leo, transforming into In human form, it was Zoya Anst, who reacted extremely quickly.

"By God's order, let the sacred flame purify the darkness!" The female mage said the same salute.

Becoming a shepherd dog, although exposing yourself, can undoubtedly get closer to the holy coffin, not to mention that Jeff and Zoya Anst are the least afraid of the inspection of the pupil of energy and the eye of reality among the five. A witch hunter knight with a positive camp stance, and Zoya, who has just joined Bloodface not long ago, is an evocation mage with a relatively neutral camp.

In contrast, Nakato Velen, the Seven Pirate King, is covered in bloody sins, but his image is too rough and unsuitable to appear as a saint.

Witch Dara has her own secrets, her nature is extremely evil, and Zhu Peng... His current essence is a demon in human skin, and his popularity is probably a bit higher than Dara's, so don't go up there to find excitement up.

Unless the devil who plays with the undead is extremely powerful, blends light and darkness, or is an evil god, no righteous god will control and use such a lackey.

I don't know if I saw it but didn't expose it, or I really believed it.In short, Dolma Leo, the archbishop of the Church of the Lord of the Silver Scorpion, chose to accept two believers who were instructed by the gods to drive out the darkness.

The gods have already sent rescuers to the world, and the believers around them naturally cheered and became more devout.

The gods will surely defeat the demons, and the light will surely defeat the darkness. This is common belief.

"Before counterattacking and regaining our homeland, we first need to clear the impurities in the team and keep the evil away from us." Speaking, Dolma Leo walked down the high altar surrounded by loyal subordinates, her energy The pupils of the eyes glanced around, and their gazes were as real as they were.

"You, you, and you have been corrupted by darkness and evil and need to be purified." An old man, a young man and a little girl were pointed by Dolma's finger.

It was also because of Dolma's guidance that Zhu Peng noticed that there were insects from hell flying faintly on the three people.

In this cathedral, the reproductive and parasitic abilities of the worms of hell seem to have been greatly suppressed, otherwise it would be the right choice to directly cremate all the people here.

In this church filled with holy power, it seems that everyone has acquired a physical resistance similar to that of a warrior in the sanctuary, and is less likely to be eroded, and even if eroded, it is not easy to die.But who exactly brought the Worm of Hell here?

Zhu Peng glanced at Zoya Anst and Nakato Velen, especially Nakato Velen. He was parasitized and only drank half a bottle of insecticide. It can be said that a considerable part of it is I am relying on my own physique and immune system to carry it hard.

See if the worms of hell are more ferocious, or with the help of half a bottle of insecticide with the body and immune system of their sanctuary level, they can kill the worms of hell.

"Don't just look at us, it might be that old man? Have you forgotten that he was also parasitized by the worms of hell? What is the use of half a bottle of insecticide with the physique of an ordinary old man? Now his corpse may have become Worm nest, the hell worms naturally began to spread here." Nakato Velen's reminder reminded Zhu Peng of the hunchbacked old man again, and it was indeed the case, as a mortal, his possibility was the greatest .

"Bishop, my lord bishop! My daughter is already my only family member in this world. She cannot be corrupted by darkness. Please, please let her go." A man who had been guarding the archbishop The believers beside him, when they saw their little daughter being forcibly pulled out, their minds collapsed.

He was originally the most loyal chief guard of Bishop Dolma Leo, but at this moment, the conflict between the most ardent family affection and faith made his will and soul no longer able to bear the burden.

(I have not come to bring peace to the earth, but a sword. For I have come to cause a man to be alienated from his father, a daughter to be alienated from her mother, and a daughter-in-law to be alienated from her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are those in his own family. Love your parents more than Those who love me are not worthy of being my disciples, and those who love their sons and daughters more than me are not worthy of being my disciples.) Seeing the crying father in front of him, the unbearable pain and the little girl wiping his father's tears in a daze, Zhu Peng more or less Feel less emotional.

It is said that the immortal way is indifferent and cruel, the great way has no heart, and is too forgetful.But in fact, which way of progress and detachment in this world is not cruel and indifferent?

It's like someone said: Want to know if you're making progress, if you're climbing up?

It's too simple. If you feel tired and miserable, you are mostly making progress, climbing upward. If you feel comfortable and happy, then you are mostly regressing, and your social adaptability is declining.

This sentence may be biased, but it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable. No matter the path of Taoism, the path of wizards, or the path of faith, there is no easy path to move forward. If you find that your path is easy to walk, then It often means that you are going downhill.

"Son, both you and your daughter have pure souls, but her body has indeed been corroded by darkness. The holy flame will make her suffer for a while, but it will protect her pure soul to return to the embrace of the Lord, and you, want to Fight harder on the earth, honor the name of God, and one day you will meet your wife and daughter in the Kingdom of God as a glorious identity, and enjoy the eternal happiness forever." Leaning down, kissing the forehead of the weeping man.

If the great wizard Angelet is really walking the path of the gods, then every word of Dolma Leo at this moment is true and sincere, but it is a pity that maybe even she herself does not know... No , is already a clergyman at the level of an archbishop, and even a descendant of a god, and has never clearly felt the comfort from the heart of the gods. Has she never been confused?

Old people, young people, and little girls were burned alive in the end, and their corpses disintegrated during the burning process, and a large number of burning hell worms gushed out from their bodies, but these immature worms did not fly much. The birds fell to the ground one after another, and this scene further proved what Dolma Leo said, that their bodies had been corroded by darkness and evil, and His Excellency the Bishop was saving the purity of their souls.

After obtaining the blood sacrifice, the holy brilliance in the cathedral has been strengthened again. In fact, if it is really a god, the reaction speed is often not so fast. A server drives hundreds of thousands or millions of people, dozens or hundreds of regions, and then No matter how powerful it is, there will be some reaction delay, but here it will not.

The ancient great wizard Angelet established a private server here with his own ability, and the gods that everyone believed in were in the holy coffin in front of them, and the reaction speed was so fast that it was instant.

……

In the following days, the power of the silver scorpion belief and the magic power of the dark demon coexisted and confronted each other like day and night.

In the clear sky of time, of course, the underground world is still dark, but the people in the cathedral can spread out to find food, daily necessities, and even rescue the few survivors.

During this period of time, the power of evil declines, most of the demons occupy a certain point, and their aggressiveness is greatly weakened.

Without the appearance of Jeff and Zoya, the people in the cathedral would have nothing to do with these demons entrenched in the darkness. Angelet did not leave any power system in this world. The purpose may be to purify the belief. After all, if there are too many other powers that can manifest holiness, human beings' belief in gods will naturally decrease in purity.

Therefore, in his world law setting, there is almost no magic power and grudge in this alien space. Even if he has it, he will gradually lose it with the profligate use of power after entering this small plane.

After becoming the shepherd dogs of the gods, under the assignment of Archbishop Dolma Leo, "Saints" Jeff and Zoya have the responsibility to clean up the darkness, although the original intention is to help the cathedral clean up the darkness and gain the power of both sides balance of power.

But now I am really being used as a knife, of course I am still very upset. Fortunately, it is not true that Daxiu Victor, Nakato Velen and the witch Dala will not help. They are also secretly helping to clear the Dark, just can't be caught.
