"Huh, how do you feel?" Wang Yu looked at Aviya, who had her eyes closed and felt the special environment around her, and asked.
"It's amazing. The environment here is something I've never experienced before. At least half of the void overlaps with reality. Although it can't be compared to when the Void Evil God descended in Mayin Manor, it's still very special."
Aviya opened her eyes, and dots of light flashed suddenly and appeared in her hand, circling and beating endlessly. One of the wizard's lowest spells, starlight.
Although it is basic, once the number increases, it will be necessary to multi-task to control the movement of each starlight, the rune structure, and provide an even amount of void energy, and the level requirements for the user will greatly increase.
"Nineteen Starlight, the void movement here is much easier than outside. I broke my best result when I first came here. It's a very interesting place. I think opening an alchemy workshop here is definitely a great choice. "
"If you come here every day, you won't feel great..." Charles next to him said feebly. After hearing that Wang Yu was a member of the Night Church, this guy clamored to come and take a look. He also took a look at the future alchemist master Ivy. Wang Yu has no objection to Ya's alchemy workshop, just come.
Wang Yu suspected that this guy came here after seeing the ancient darkness trick he used when fighting vampires.
Because Wang Yu mentioned that as long as he believed in Lady Night, he could use her magic. Ciel, an ungrateful person who always talked about the God of Light, might have said that because he couldn't be embarrassed.
As for why this guy is so weak, Wang Yuyemen knows it very well. He has also read Charles' report. The content in it is very specific, but this guy has been secretly giving the professor eye drops.
Of course, it was actually Ciel who was doing the dancing. There was definitely no malice at all, but the end result was that the professor smiled and went to Ciel and gave him a Night Blade with a denomination twice his normal salary. magic crystal card.
It is worth noting that this chamber of commerce is a very professional military ration supplier, so the food provided is dry food and so on. Charles can't eat well even if he wants to. Even buying and selling military supplies is illegal in Arestle. , so it is basically impossible to cash out.
Well, according to what little Daniel said last time, this guy has severed his relationship with the Ryder family, so he really has no source of income. It's pitiful.
If Wang Yu hadn't just needed food here and spent money to get the food card from Shire, this guy would have had to go to a pub or perform on the streets.
Thinking about it carefully, I had told the professor about the Night Church here. It was hard not to doubt whether the professor did this deliberately. After all, Wang Yu really didn't have any good channels to get a lot of food.
In short, that's it. Ms. Night asked herself to take a look at the situation here last time. This time she took advantage of the gap period after completing a mission to come and take a look.
I thought again about the scene that Lady Night sent to me last time. Although it was a bit strange, it was indeed a good thing.
Ignoring Charles's thoughts, Wang Yu took Aviya and the others through this chaotic underground city. For the sake of convenience, Wang Yu released the concealment after entering the shadow of the royal city where the Lady of the Night could use her power at will. This is the most basic magic of the Lady of the Night.
The dark night, like water, enveloped the three of them, hiding them gently and carefully, deliberately avoiding some main roads and gang stations, so that no one could notice them.
If you choose some alleys to walk, you will inevitably see the deep and dark side of this underground city. Sudden attacks and robberies, gangs fighting each other in the streets, and you can see a half-dead or dead person lying on the ground after just two steps. on the ground.
That's not to say that a large number of people die every day, but violence and greed are indeed the most common and real aspects of this underground city.
Wang Yu has long been used to this. Aviya has been with Wang Yu for a long time and is used to it. Although she is a little unhappy, she will not take it seriously.
On the contrary, Ciel still frowns when he sees this. There is nothing wrong with this. In a sense, he is a normal person.
After traveling through the chaotic and malicious city, the group arrived at their destination. At night, the street where the church is located, No. 7, Black Street. At first glance, No. 7, Black Street, is no different from before. Gangs are passing through, and people are passing by. His head and face were busy doing his own thing.
But Wang Yu has already seen the person waiting at the intersection of No. 7 Black Street. The horns on his head make him look very eye-catching, and his black skin is very special. This is a druid and an elf. Dark Elves.
"Hello, I am Wang Yu." Wang Yu, who had known this person for a long time, approached and greeted the dark elf druid.
"Hello, you are the Archbishop Wang Yu of the church that Ms. Darkness mentioned, right? Please allow me to offer you my highest respect. My name is Holo, and I am a devout believer in the Lady of the Night. Darkness Ms. Si asked me to guide you."
The druid gave Wang Yu a very solemn salute and then informed Wang Yu of his identity.
Darkness is the pseudonym of Lady Darkness, and also the name of the image that Lady Darkness manifests in front of believers. At that time, He asked Wang Yu to help Him think of a name, and Wang Yu casually transliterated it using the pronunciation of "darkness". I didn’t expect Lady Night to like the Common Language name.
After all, it is too shocking for an incarnation of a god to walk around the church in person, so such a cover-up is still necessary.
Darkness's identity in the sect is similar to that of a saint. She is actually the god himself. If she is not a saint, there is no one else who can be her.
Speaking of which, the addition of this druid is quite coincidental. The reputation of the dark elves in this world is similar to what is described in literary works on Earth. It is not good, and basically everyone calls for beatings.
Although these problems should be blamed on the dark elves in the Sunken Swamp, in fact, if the reputation of one place is bad, the reputation of the entire race will also be bad. This thing is very realistic, the area is dark, and the information cannot be transmitted. Even if it is considered developed, the world is even more serious.
Everyone dislikes this race, and the dark elves don't like the sunshine. It's hard to find work in most city-states. That is to say, places like King's Shadow, where the entire space is underground, are more suitable for dark elves. Some.
However, few dark elves can enter Arestle and pass into this underground space. It is a coincidence that Holo, the dark elf druid, can enter the underground space.
Logically speaking, this underground space was created by the Aleister royal family to store the sea of subconsciousness. It belongs to Aleister's territory and has complete security measures.
But in fact, such a huge underground space cannot exist without the existence of underground rivers and even cave passages. Holo was able to enter the shadow of the royal city because of a certain river that poured into the shadow of the royal city from the ground.
…
"I am an apostate..." When he said this, Holo's tone became obviously very deep and sad, but there was a hint of joy in gaining a new life.
"I betrayed the Church of the God of Nature, but I feel that I did nothing wrong. What they did was definitely not the will of nature." Holo clenched his fists. This man looked to be about fifty or sixty years old. Judging from the age of the elf, he is probably over two hundred years old.
While leading the way, Wang Yu expressed that he wanted to know why Holo, a druid, wanted to join the Church of Night. Wang Yu was a little curious that a foreigner wanted to join this little-known church.
"We were originally a branch of dark elves living in the Sorensen Mountains. Even if we were expelled from there, these are still the days I miss the most..." Druid's words were full of nostalgia.
In the druid's narration, Wang Yu learned little by little about the life trajectory of this foreign believer.
They were originally reclusive dark elves living in the Sorensen Mountains. Compared with ordinary reclusive elves, they were no different except that the place they lived was a little darker.
The belief is also very simple. It is a dual belief in the ancestor spirits and the god of nature. Compared to the god of nature, Holo prefers to say that he believes in nature itself.
Feeling the sounds of nature, listening to the words of animals and plants, and finding ways to live in harmony with nature. This peaceful and harmonious lifestyle fascinated Hollo, and it was also an important reason why he became a druid.
Those peaceful days are nostalgic, and make the subsequent changes even sadder.
I don't know when, a phenomenon called "corruption" appeared deep in the mountains of Sorensen. Wherever it passed, animals died and vegetation withered. Every day, he could hear the wails from those lives.
He tried to use his own power to stop these corruptions, but failed completely. His power was too small in the face of the corruption that could affect the entire mountain range. The spells he used could not even save a piece of land that was being destroyed. A forest in decay.
The same goes for other druids. In the face of these corruptions, the power of these guardians of nature seems too small.
Facing the increasingly rare trees and dead ancient forest trees in his own territory, Holo and some of his compatriots who were relatively young among the elves chose the path of migration while suffering.
But those elders were firmly opposed. For them, the ancestral land was more important than anything else. Both parties had their own reasons, and this dispute continued until a discovery was made by the Church of the God of Nature.
Life, life can prevent the spread of corruption. Killing creatures on the edge of corruption and non-corruption, and burying their "lives" in the earth can prevent the spread of corruption.
So, in the end, the elders' suggestion became their choice. They hunted some wild animals and buried them on the edge of the Corruption Land at a fixed time every year to prevent the spread of corruption, and there was no need to move the tribe.
However, as time goes by, corruption has an increasing demand for life. Originally, a moderate amount of hunting would not have an impact on the forest, and the Druid's creed does not exclude such hunting.
But the Corruption's demand for life has made hunting excessive, even crazy...
I don’t know when, the hunting goals of the Church of the God of Nature began to shift. After discovering that excessive hunting of wild beasts would cause problems in the forest, they began to hunt other races.
Orcs, goblins, and even lone dwarves and humans found that the lives of these intelligent creatures could better satisfy their corrupt appetites, so hunting became more frequent.
In the eyes of the God of Nature sect, these humans are not part of nature, and there is no psychological burden in hunting them. However, in the eyes of Lojo and some dark elves, this is wrong.
Seeing the bodies of those intelligent races who were not dead in peace being swallowed up by the corruption, Holo felt a real sense of nausea and revulsion. This was not right. Holo told himself firmly, and he also told his bishop the same. .
As a result, his fellow sect members looked at him like a madman, as if he was the one who was wrong.
Holo felt that the forest had gone crazy, and the mountains had gone crazy. He chose to escape, and together with some dark elves who had the same idea as him, they wanted to leave the forest.
But what they didn't expect was that the God of Nature Sect was more extreme than they thought. The day after they discovered that there was something wrong with Holo, they arrested him and branded him a traitor.
Believers with this mark will never be accepted by other sects because they are traitors.
The other dark elves who planned to escape together were also discovered because of the presence of a mole inside.
The hunting target of the God of Nature Sect has been transferred to its own compatriots at some point. They kill these "betrayers" and bury their lives in the corrupted land to protect nature.
Desperate, these "betrayers" chose to flee by force, and most of them were caught, killed, and buried in the Corruption.
A few, such as Holo, a druid with good strength, managed to escape with some luck, and even brought his family with him
However, the hunt by the Dark Elf Church of Nature continues, tracking these "traitors" with the goal of killing them and burying them in the Corruption.
The Holo family has been hiding for a long time. Because of his brand of apostate and their status as dark elves, they have never dared to go to other races or non-hidden elven cities. They can only hide in other forests outside Sorenson. Chase from the church.
One day, the Holo family, who were overtaken due to a mistake, had no choice but to jump into a raging river in the forest and disappeared into the undercurrent.
In the end, perhaps due to a small miracle of fate, they did not die, but came to this city, the Shadow of the Royal City, through the underground river.
"Your Excellency Bishop, you know that dark elves with faces similar to elves, coupled with their unwelcome and unprotected status, are not a good thing in this area." Holo said, with a sad and sad tone in his tone. have no choice.
"But at least, I met you who can write such a scripture, and such a wonderful sect." Bowing, Holo bowed slightly and directed Wang Yu's gaze forward.
Wang Yu looked and opened his eyes slightly.
