Chapter 1274 There is no free lunch in the world

nervous!

Panic!

disturbed!

Since getting the poison, Leifni has been tossing and turning for several days, unable to sleep.

He tried several times to pour the bottle of black liquid into Luke's food, but he chose to give up when the situation came to an end.

Of course, this was not a discovery of conscience, or falling in love with this extremely indifferent boy like in the romance story, but she was not sure whether the other person had the ability to distinguish strong toxins.

You must know that when she was stumbling forward in the endless desert, she once tried to mix some poisonous substances that were not fatal and pretended to have accidentally mixed them into the food. However, Luke seemed to be able to detect it and put those poisonous substances into the food. Some were discarded.

There were no questions or explanations.

So much so that Laifni couldn't tell for a long time whether the missing part was some kind of mysterious ability, spell, or simply not liking the taste of food.

In her eyes, Luke's whole body exuded an opaque fog, and even his daily actions seemed to have deep meaning.

The longer they get along, the less she dares to act rashly.

Because Laifni understands that if her sinister intentions are exposed, what awaits her will definitely not be simple death, but a more terrifying ending.

In contrast, Luke behaved much calmly. After giving the task of finding Malvina, he seemed to have forgotten about it. Every day he would either hide in his room to rest or go out in the streets of Bone City. Hang out.

No one knew that in the dead of night, he would put on another set of clothes and sneak into the temple made of billions of bones in the center of the city.

Are these the bones of various creatures? Even intelligent life? It's hard to imagine how crazy, dark, twisted, and evil God would be to allow believers to build their sanctuaries like this.

Accompanied by whispers, Luke's short figure appeared out of thin air in the most inconspicuous corner of the temple.

Due to thorough preparation in advance,

There was even an inconspicuous coordinate hidden in the corner, so his arrival did not alert anyone.

There is no doubt that the lunatic he met on the street who exuded a religious fanaticism made him have a strong interest in this temple and the so-called Great Will.

You must know that normally, the generation of fanatical beliefs must comply with two objective factors.

One is a well-established religious system and the power of order that maintains its operation.

The other is the feedback of powerful supernatural power. This power may be divine power, magic, or some other unknown power.

In short, mortals are often very realistic and will never fall into madness or even forget themselves for something that has no benefit.

Only when you can actually benefit from it will you be willing to pay a huge price for it.

What is more obvious is that the ordinary residents living in Bone City must be for the free food and drinking water provided every day, so they show unparalleled piety and fanaticism.

After all, they know best that if their faith fails to pass the test, they will be expelled and return to the previous miserable situation of being precarious and possibly being looted by looters and sold as slaves.

But what Luke couldn't figure out was why these priests and monks in the ruling class were willing to waste so many precious resources to feed a group of burdens that could not produce economic benefits.

That's right!

In his eyes, most of the residents of Bone City are like parasites, lying on the main artery of this mysterious temple to suck blood, but they are unable to create even a little bit of value.

After several days of secret investigation, he had basically figured out the internal structure of the temple.

First, there is the part connecting the entrance to the main hall, which is the part that most believers can see.

A huge statue of a god originally stood here, but it was later destroyed by someone unknown, leaving only a huge base.

Above the base, there is a huge crystal emitting dark blue light, and this crystal is the embodiment of the great consciousness mentioned by the priests and monks.

But Luke knew that this was just an ordinary natural crystal imbued with luminous magic, a small way to fool the people.

Secondly, in the second half of the temple, there are places where senior clergy rest, hold meetings, and store important resources. In particular, several warehouses are filled with a large number of weapons, armor, and magic items.

If all are distributed, an army of thousands of people can be armed in an instant.

Finally, it was also the place he planned to explore today, at the end of the secret passage under the temple.

According to legend, the inexhaustible pool should be inside.

With strong curiosity, Luke quickly passed through the dark and narrow passage, using illusions to deceive the eyes of several guards. Finally, he found a deep and dark light reflected in the cave ahead, and at the same time there was a splashing sound. Hustle.

It's water!

Excited, he quickly quickened his pace!

When he came to the pool, his whole body fell into a state of sluggishness.

Because the water in the pool is not water at all, but a twisted product mixed with corpses, blood and souls. The pungent fishy smell is enough to make any sane person lie on the ground and vomit.

But just when he covered his mouth and nose and wanted to retreat, a miracle happened.

The pungent stench in the pool suddenly disappeared!

Those corpses, plasma and souls were also squeezed and torn apart by unknown forces, and decomposed into an energy state that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Then these energies gathered together and opened a portal leading to the location.

The next second...

boom!

Along with the deafening roar, the clear spring water poured directly from the crack into the bottomless pool, washing away all the remaining corpses and flesh and blood inside.

After the crack is closed, a water source sufficient to supply drinking water for the entire city for at least a few weeks to a month or two will be replenished.

Feeling the screams of the remaining innocent souls in the air, Luke squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: So that's it! This is a magic circle, an evil sacrifice circle. The blood, life and blood obtained through sacrifice and killing Soul, to open the crack to another world. Those monks are not so much feeding some useless people, but are raising cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered at any time. In their eyes, the residents in the city are usable In exchange for the necessary consumables of water, the source of life. As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.”
