Tuesday, December 12th.
In the morning, while Varina was catching up on sleep in his room, two of his neighbors were in action.
They are moving.
In the past two days and two nights in a row, they had encountered some strange things that were extremely horrifying, such as the furniture changing positions inexplicably, a female ghost appearing in the mirror, and so on.
The most outrageous thing is that when they want to go to church to pray, they will feel dizzy and in a trance. The strongest man among them even has heart attack.
If this is bad news, there is also good news.
Just this morning, the landlady took the time to come over, refunded their rent, and forcefully forced them to move out immediately, and they were not allowed to stay for a moment longer.
This is a timely help!
They were worried that the room was haunted, so as soon as the landlady mentioned the request, they hurriedly agreed and left in less than an hour, dragging large and small packages.
Not long after they left, the landlady called in two maids to clean the vacant rooms.
In the afternoon, a maid and several porters brought large and small bags of luggage and placed them in the newly vacated room.
This all happened while Varina was catching up on her sleep.
So, when he got up and went out, he didn't realize that his neighbor had changed to a new one.
In the evening a lady arrived.
She was wearing a light yellow dress, tall, with fluffy, slightly curly dark brown hair draped over her shoulders under a plain white mesh dome hat.
If Varina were here, he would definitely recognize that this woman is the witch Qili.
Qili first looked at her room and found that the layout was quite satisfactory. Then she came outside Varina's room and knocked on the door.
Varina had already gone out, and naturally no one answered.
Qili was slightly surprised, smiled slightly, and went back to her room next door.
Although her room has been decorated by the maid, everything will not go as planned. She has to adjust some things by herself.
More than an hour later, Qili, who had changed into light home clothes, knocked on Varina's door again.
Of course, there was still no response.
…
Iron Gate Street, Brave Bar.
Varina once again saw Maric in the card room.
This time the scene in the chess and card room was different.
Although the dozen or so zombies who usually sat around the table playing cards were still there, they were all squeezed into the row of sofas next to them, quietly and neatly.
Maric sat at the card table with his hands on the table, also not playing cards.
Varina sat across from Maric and saw that the malice in his eyes staring at the card table was deeper than usual.
It seems that the curse he carries is far stronger than what I am bearing now.
Varina himself felt it. As night fell, the intensity of the curse on the "Prisoner's Ring" increased a lot, and it was still increasing.
He had failed to fully control it earlier and had frightened a drinker.
But after getting used to it, Varina couldn't handle it too hard.
But looking at Maric's appearance now, it seems that with the improvement of the sequence, the intensity of the curse attached to it will be even greater?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the situation at hand.
Through the plot of the original work, Varina believes that Sharon and Maric are most likely the best members of the temperance sect today.
Even Maric looked like this when the moon was full, so it’s no wonder that the temperance faction was in a difficult situation now.
"Activate your ability like last time," Maric took the initiative, "How long can you hold on?"
"It should be more than 5 minutes."
"Of course, that was what happened last time. It's hard to say this time."
Varina pointed to the ring on her right index finger with her eyes.
"That's enough," Maric said: "When the midnight curse is at its strongest, this is the first time you listen to my command."
"Okay." Varina nodded.
Maric kept showing up alone and never mentioned Sharon, and Varina cooperated in pretending not to know.
He knew very well that tonight was when Maric was at his weakest. He was taking a lot of risks by meeting him, and of course he had to hide Sharon as a trump card.
Judging from the appearance of those living corpses, they will most likely be handed over to Sharon to control tonight.
Varina doesn't think that by simply signing a contract, he can gain full trust immediately.
Maybe it's to preach, maybe it's to help Varinar understand the concept of temperance, maybe it's just that Varinar is bored...
In short, the silent scene did not last long, and Maric took out a holy book, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Varina.
"This is the holy book of the Rose School. You can take a look at it." He sighed. "Of course, it was the Rose School that once upheld the concept of moderation and has nothing to do with the current Indulgence School."
Varina looked at the large book with a cover made of leather from an unknown animal and sighed in his heart.
This is a precious out-of-print resource... Anyone who dares to appear in public will definitely be destroyed by the current Rose School.
He opened the pages, and the first thing he saw was the creation myth and human history, well, the Bound God Edition.
"The Creator woke up from chaos, broke the darkness, created the first ray of light, and completely integrated himself into the universe, incarnating into all things. His body became the earth and stars, and one of his eyes became the sun and the other... As the red moon, part of His blood surges into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life..."
"His lungs evolved into elves; his heart evolved into giants; his liver evolved into tree men; his head evolved into dragons; his kidneys evolved into feathered serpents; his hair evolved into phoenixes; and his ears evolved into It evolved into a demon wolf; his mouth and teeth evolved into alien species; his remaining body fluids evolved into sea monsters, the essence of which was naga; his stomach, his small intestines and large intestines, and the evil parts of his body evolved into demons and evil spirits. Spirits and all kinds of unknown evil exist, and from His wisdom humans are born..."
This is the first era, the era of chaos.
According to the Holy Scriptures, the "Bound God" was born from the mouth of the Creator, awakened in the Second Age, and together with other gods protected and helped mankind survive the catastrophe of the Third Age, and fell into sleep again.
In the Fourth Age, when major disasters such as the "War of the Four Emperors" and the "Pale Disaster" occurred in the northern and southern continents, the weak "Bound God" was forced to wake up early to provide shelter for humans in the southern continent.
In the Fifth Age, humans who were protected by the "Bound God" became His followers and formed the Rose School.
Varina roughly read this version of history and found that the "spiritual angel" of the alien king, the "spiritual god" of the "redemption rose", and the current "bound god", Torzner, except for some Apart from over-beautifying itself with Spring and Autumn's brushwork, there is nothing wrong with the recorded history.
After all, the current seven orthodox gods have a history recorded in their holy scriptures that is similar to this.
Of course, when it comes to what he has gained from the Holy Scriptures, Varina feels that the most valuable thing may be the honorable name of the "Bound God":
"The common master of all alien species;"
“The perfect union of spirit and matter;”
"The Bound One burdened with pollution and curse."
