Spellcasting Heavens

City of faith? City of commandments? In the end, you can't escape the devouring of the dark side of human nature! The redemption of the great will? Haha, I really don't know what the ordinary residents outside will think when they learn the truth. Luke's tone was full of emotion. Unabashed irony.

Because after fully understanding how cruel the outside world is, he understood that even if the truth here was revealed, most of the residents who were kept in the dark would still choose to turn a blind eye and continue to bury their heads in the sand, firmly believing that the great consciousness would redeem them. .

Might sound stupid!

But this is the cold, hard reality!

After all, no matter what, those priests and monks were distributing free food and drinking water, and at the same time mobilized forces to maintain order and resist the ubiquitous looters.

Although there is a price to pay, this price is acceptable in the face of the cruel reality that is almost desperate.

You must know that once they leave the protection of the church, more than 60% of the old, weak, women and children in Bone City will die, and the rest will become slaves and spend the rest of their lives miserably.

But now, they just need to hypnotize themselves and make themselves believe that the great will really exists, and then they can receive enough food and water to survive without worrying about the killing and destruction that will come at any time.

As for sacrifice, it may not be your turn anyway, and even if it is your turn, you can only blame your bad luck.

In short, in order to survive, most lives have no bottom line. No matter how humble, cowardly, or humble, as long as they can survive, that is enough.

…

There is no doubt that the truth at the bottom of the temple completely destroyed Luke's last hope for the city, and his whole person merged into darkness again.

This time, he did not return directly to the hotel room, but came to the church leader's bedroom.

Standing at the head of the bed, Luke quietly stared at the old man lying on the white sheets. After a full minute, he patted the other man's cheek hard and called softly: Wake up! Bishop! I hope you can answer I have a few questions.”

Who?! Who are you!

The old man suddenly woke up from his deep sleep and instantly pulled out a magic pendant emitting green fluorescence from under his pillow.

Relax, I'm just a traveler,

Not planning to do anything to you. What's more, do you think this magic pendant that stores the death ray can really hurt me?

As he spoke, Luke raised his finger and tapped it lightly.

moment!

The gem that stored magic on the pendant suddenly appeared with countless cracks like a spider web, and finally exploded with a snap.

The bishop's pupils suddenly shrank, he quickly threw away the pendant in his hand, swallowed subconsciously, and cautiously asked, What do you want to ask?

It's very simple! Tell me, whose masterpiece is the sacrificial circle below? Don't tell me what kind of relics that thing is from ancient times. If I guess correctly, it was built less than three hundred years ago at most. ” Luke started and got straight to the point.

Perhaps for many ordinary people with short life spans, three hundred years is enough time to forget many things, or even to reproduce for more than a dozen generations.

But for the Kant tribe, which has preserved relatively complete historical records, the true antiquity goes back thousands of years before the arrival of the invaders.

If the temple in the Bone City is really as old as described, then there should never be a sacrificial circle that is only three hundred years old underground.

That... someone helped us build that! the bishop replied with a trembling voice.

who?

Luke was obviously not very satisfied with this answer and took the initiative to take a step forward.

It's a group of mysterious people! Sorry, I don't know their origins. I only know that the founder of the church made a deal with them. As for the content, that's what you saw tonight. We must sacrifice a sacrifice every once in a while. A batch of tortured corpses and souls. The bishop was obviously frightened, and without thinking, he revealed the biggest secret about the city and the church.

Mystery man?

Yes, the mysterious man. It is said that when they appeared, they were covered in black cloaks and were extremely tall. It was impossible to tell what race they were. And during the process of their construction, no one was allowed to enter. I'm extremely sorry. , I only know so much, please don’t kill me, if I die, the order of this city will be on the verge of collapse due to the struggle between the church’s top leaders, and countless civilians will die for this.” The bishop knelt down without restraint. Begging for mercy on the ground.

No one wants to die!

Especially those superiors who hold huge wealth and power and live a luxurious life that ordinary people can't even imagine.

Don't worry, I just said I won't kill you, so there is no need to use the ordinary residents of this city as bargaining chips. What's more, if I really plan to kill you, do you think I will care about the lives of ordinary people outside? No, I don’t care. I am even willing to send them to another world with my own hands to end this miserable and painful life. Well, that’s the end of today’s conversation. If I have any other questions, I will come back to you. Finally, good night, distinguished bishop, may the great will redeem your greedy, ugly and dirty soul when the end of the world comes.

After saying these meaningful words, Luke turned around and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

He is like a shadow, no one can spot him wherever he passes.

Until he successfully left the temple, the bishop who was sitting stiffly on the bed finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly opened the drawer and took out a silver mirror from the hidden compartment inside, and activated the ruby ​​inlaid on it.

The next second...

The image of a Darent man with a slender figure and disproportionate head and eyes appeared on the mirror.

He glanced at the room and confirmed that no outsiders were present before asking: What happened? Didn't I warn you not to contact me unless it was absolutely necessary? l

I'm sorry, great master, I do have something important to do. Just now, a guy who claimed to be a passerby discovered the sacrificial circle you built three hundred years ago. The bishop knelt on the ground, not daring to explain too much. road.

Then what? Did he threaten you? Or did he destroy the magic circle? The Darent man frowned and continued to ask.

The bishop hurriedly shook his head: No, none. The strangest thing is here. He could obviously threaten me or even kill me, but for some reason he just left.

Leave? Interesting... An expression of interest appeared on the Darent man's face. Let's do this. I will send someone over to investigate later. Please don't act rashly during this period, because something big is going to happen in Bone City.
