Thick dark clouds cover the sky, the streets are already dark near evening, many passers-by are in a hurry to go home, no matter when, what era, except for a few people, being wet by the rain is always a not good experience, especially in places where medical means are backward or not yet popular, drenching sickness often means death.
These passers-by were all dressed in similar gray-white linen robes, and they did not see any superfluous colors, superfluous styles, only the patrolling soldiers who passed by from time to time stood out from the crowd, bronze cuirass and shins, iron-black sharp swords and sharp spears, which made them full of martial courage and fierceness.
Lucien, wrapped in a linen robe, followed closely behind a middle-aged man with fast and slow steps, and the two of them sometimes turned into the alley, sometimes walking down the street, no different from ordinary passers-by.
The sky was getting darker, the wind was howling, and the rain seemed to be coming at any moment, and the patrolling soldiers quickened their march and hurried back to the barracks in the city.
Stopping in front of a small two-story stone building, the middle-aged man looked around vigilantly, and only after confirming that he did not pay attention to this side, he gently knocked on the walnut door, and the rhythm of the technique was very unique, first knocked twice in the center of the wooden door, and then knocked three times on the left near the rotating position, and finally knocked on the door lock, each making a different sound.
After ten seconds of silence, a hole suddenly opened in the door, and a light brown eyeball appeared behind it.
The middle-aged man stepped back so that the eye could clearly see the gray rose pattern on the corner of his clothes.
The pattern is so inconspicuous that no one would have noticed it if it hadn't been known for a long time.
And Lucien also turned sideways, so that the "gray rose" in the corner of his clothes stood out.
The light brown eyes blinked and disappeared into the doorway, and then the walnut door slowly opened, and a man with a hunched back in the shape of a dwarf whispered, "Two honorable heralds, a crown awaits you. ” The middle-aged man bowed his head slightly, and as he flashed into the house, he motioned with his gaze for Lucien to follow.
Lucien was not as quick and vigilant as he was, and he smiled and pushed open the door, and entered calmly, as if he were visiting an ordinary family of friends, without the slightest abnormality.
After being forced into the "Gate of the Otherworld" by the Night Watch assassins, due to the self-explosion attack of the gate and the disorder of spatial teleportation, Lucien was thrown into this inexplicable "Bethitham" city, and because the last stage was out of the protection of the Otherworldly Gate, the whole person was seriously injured by the space concussion, not only the body was seriously injured, but even the soul was in a state of malaise, leaving only the level of ordinary knights and middle-level magicians, and the equipment on his body was cracked when helping to resist the space storm, and it needed to be repaired before it could be used.
However, Lucien was lucky, he didn't meet the high-ranking clergy or cardinals of the church, nor did he encounter false gods and monsters, he was taken in by a kind old grandfather "Norton", after two months of cultivation, the magic strength and knightly level were restored to the same as before, the only problem was that the magic items worn on the body at that time, such as the Holm crown ring, needed to find special materials to repair, of course, the legendary level of the "Crown" and the ninth-level "Sun Scepter" played the "ability" of matching the level, and did not suffer the slightest trauma.
Similarly, the "Frost", "Pale Justice", and "Transfiguration Mask" in the storage bag are also intact, and even the "Norton" grandfather has only seen Lucian's transformed ordinary appearance.
In the past two months, Lucien has not met a single magician or cleric of the Cult of Truth, nor has he heard from them, it seems that they are still far away from the city, so far away that there are no rumors, and if it weren't for the strange feeling of suppressing the mental force field in the mouth of his teacher Fernando, Lucien would have wondered if he had traveled to another dimension.
From the mouth of the old man "Norton", Lucien knew the situation of the city of "Bethlethan", which is located on the shore of the "Eldo" sea, is the capital and economic center of the entire Eldor Peninsula, was originally ruled by the indigenous Balere, established a complete Balir kingdom, and believed in the "God of Fire and Destruction" Afando, but more than a hundred years ago, the huge "Ankanoma" empire crossed the sea to attack and conquer this place, and the "God of Fire and Destruction" Afando was also defeated and exiled by the "Lord of War" Anantans, who the empire believed.
The servants of the Ankenoma Empire even claimed that Afando had been completely killed, thus disintegrating the foundation of the Baalir faith.
Because the successive "Governors of Eldor" sent by the "Ankenoma" Empire were tyrannical and treated the Balians as slaves, the peninsula was constantly smoking, and from time to time there were rebels and rebels who converted to other gods who claimed to be favored by Afando, but due to the strength of the Anknoma Empire and the extremely terrifying "gods" of the war, these struggles were suppressed one by one.
These things had nothing to do with Lucien, and he was preparing to be cautious, collecting information about the surrounding terrain and the kingdom without revealing himself, and finding the traces of the Magic Council, so that safety could be guaranteed, and the strange feeling of suppressing the mental force field also suppressed the electromagnetic communication technique, and Lucian estimated that the signal would be too bad to communicate if it was more than ten kilometers.
Therefore, without specific information, Lucien did not dare to set off casually, who knows if he would directly break into the place controlled by the Cult of God of Truth or the Bloodline, and the Transfiguration Mask could hide it from others, but not from the cardinals, let alone the Pope and Prince Dracula.
However, the old man "Norton", who has entered the final stage of his life, seems to feel that Lucien's performance in the past two months has crushed the young men, teenagers, and children he adopted, and he can speak Baali fluently, and it is obviously the loyal Balil Ankanoma Empire forcibly promoted the "Anno language", unless he has been cultivated since childhood, and usually because of the Baalir kingdom that yearns for reading, no young man can speak such fluent Baali, so before he died, Passed a secret identity to Lucian.
This identity is the high-level of the mysterious organization "Secret Prayer Society", and the seventh disciple of the "God of Fire and Destruction" descended into the incarnation.
Although Lucien said in his heart that this was all due to the magic of knowing the language, but considering that he was alone here, it was much more convenient for an organization to provide information than to rely on himself to inquire, so he agreed, after all, due to the non-stop rebellion, Bethlethan City was under the double high-pressure surveillance of the "Governor of Eldor" and the "Temple of War", and the road of pretending to be a ghost and deceiving memories was not very feasible, and relying on the transformation mask to change his identity and infiltrate the high-level Annnomah colony to find information could only be a temporary move, It is easy to be debunked if the time drags on for more than a day.
Even if there was no Norton's identity protection on the surface, Lucien would have been interrogated many times, and Governor Eldor is rumored to be a hybrid of gods and humans, and can use "divine power" like the high priest of the Temple of War, which is equivalent to having two ordinary cardinals or even ninth-level cardinals guarding this place There are no crazy magicians in this world, and there are no bloodline knights, but some pseudo-gods are often messy and give birth to many offspring, and they also have the similar characteristics of bloodline knights.
Ordinary human beings only have one way to become a god servant and priest to be promoted, and the army can only be used to deal with ordinary people, and there is no way to take the god blood "heroes", the only thing to be thankful for is that the number of god blood heroes is scarce, they are not unemployed, and the suppression of rebellion is not too big, so don't bother the noble god blood people.
Follow the fifth disciple "Anhuus" in front of him through the hall, walk to the back of the building, and watch him open a secret door, revealing the upward stairs, but Lucien seems to be watching an opera that has nothing to do with him, indifferent and indifferent, thinking in his heart whether to find an opportunity to study and study the advent incarnation of the "God of Fire and Destruction", this is the first time he has encountered the "pseudo-god incarnation", it is a great opportunity to obtain first-hand information, and this is one of the main reasons why Lucien joined the "Secret Prayer Society".
The secret door was followed by an upward staircase, which seemed to lead to the ceiling and the mezzanine of the second floor, but halfway through, Anshues suddenly stopped and opened a secret door again, this time down the staircase.
In silence, the two of them walked down for a while, and finally a bronze gate appeared in front of them, which was full of strange flame patterns.
Pressing his hand on one of the flame patterns, Anshuis glowed with a burst of red light, and pushed open the bronze door, behind which was the empty hall with a row of braziers, except for the stone pillars, and only a round table in the center.
There were thirteen chairs at the round table, the top of which was a gold throne encrusted with rubies, which no one had yet occupied, and on each side were six silver seats with similar flame patterns.
At this time, there were already five people sitting on the twelve silver seats, led by a white-haired old man with a thick beard, who looked at Lucian and said, "According to Norton's recommendation before his death, the great god of fire and destruction has made a revelation, and you, Leviathan, will become the seventh disciple." ” Leviathan is Lucian's pseudonym based on the inspiration of the Great Demon King.
"But you have not yet shown ability, you have not yet contributed to God, in the next year, we will examine you until you pass the test, before you can obtain the seed of the spirit surname given by the gods, and obtain extraordinary power."
"Yes."
Lucien became curious about the "Spirit Seed", could this be the key to cracking the mysteries of divine art, whether to catch other disciples or directly capture the god of fire and destruction to study After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Lucien lightly: "Sit down, wait and hold a baptism of fire for you, now, we have more important things." ” "What's the matter?"
Anshues thought that today was just the flame baptism of the Seventh Apostle.
"A discussion of the path ahead, a way for the gods to fully awaken and recover."
The old man, the first disciple Jacob, said in a deep voice
