"Where is this place? What happened? Why did you suddenly come to save me, Ian?"

Xio apologized confusedly: "I'm sorry. Although I generally understand the process, it still feels a bit...sudden."

——The emotional dragon was imprisoned here immediately after being captured?

Ian blinked, feeling a little weird in his heart: "Strange, I thought it was after Xiou was captured in Avak's laboratory and experienced terrible torture, he recalled the long loneliness and torture in the past, and then in When the dead king rebelled, he caused many souls to riot and triggered the abyss of silence."

"But looking at this, not only was Xio not tortured, he was even locked up as soon as he was caught. He was in a coma from the beginning to the end. It had nothing to do with the collapse of Avak's laboratory!"

"Could it be that this is really all the fault of the Dead King?"

The confusion at this point made Ian feel that he might have guessed wrong from the beginning, but now was not the time to think about this.

He said to Xio, who was also a little confused: "Next, I will remove your soul storage device and take it away directly... Don't worry, I have read the user manual, thank you to the Azure City Laboratory According to the data, your form can last for about a few weeks, as long as there is continuous input of source matter to nourish and nourish you, let alone you being a dragon."

"Uh-huh."

Xio's attention at this moment can also go beyond the Dragon Binding Pillar. After he saw Ian's current image, his eyes lit up: "Wow, Ian, your new vest is very nice. Can I learn from it? Or next time you Teach me how to create this mysterious and cold temperament? They always say that I always create the same person..."

——Of course, even if I give you my appearance, you will only act like a big cat or a big dog.

Ian complained in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface: "Let's talk about it next time. It's not just me who came this time, but also Huaiguang's rescue team... In addition to you, we also have to deal with those goblins and Lubeck. Rescue…fortunately it’s not difficult.”

It's really not difficult.

The Huaiguang rescue team didn't hesitate much. They quickly followed Ian's steps and arrived here, and were equally as surprised as Ian by the specialness of the eight pillars.

Now that Ian has used his authority to open the restraints on Xiou's side, they go to save the others.

And they had obviously prepared their own method a long time ago - Huijian took out a mark that exuded light golden light from his arms. He used it to press it on the pillar that bound Lubeck, and the layers of inscriptions were revealed. The seal was actually cracked by force, giving them access directly.

The Universal Seal, a special psychic prop, is very rare. Ian did not expect to see one here.

And when Ian took out the core crystal pillar that stored the Xio Dragon Soul from the Soul-Binding Pillar, he saw a rather strange scene in front of everyone in Huaiguang.

It was a ceremony.

A conversion ceremony for the Holy Priest of Light for Lübeck.

"Sure enough, they want to crack the secret of Huaiguang, but this secret is meaningless in the first place. As for Lubeck... Fortunately, Bishop Baiwu had expected it. He is qualified to become our true brother."

Vaguely, Ian heard Huijian speaking to Atonement and Yingguang in a solemn tone: "Let's carry out the ceremony, Yingguang, let's go together. If Lubeck can survive and become a priest, then our success this time will be The probability will increase by several percent."

"Redemption, you don't have the blood of Guangguang, so you lead a team to protect us."

"Yeah." Redemption didn't think it was repulsive, and she immediately called for the team to guard the four directions - after seeing Ian take out Xio's soul from the Dragon Binding Pillar, the Milosian was quite happy to face him. smiled.

Obviously, having one more Light-bearing Priest is a very happy thing for her.

Their exchange didn't seem strange to anyone on the rescue team, but Ian always sounded weird.

Could it be that... being a Holy Priest is a special profession that requires a ritual to change professions?

This is not worth paying too much attention to. After all, potions are essentially just a combination of rituals, surgeries and various transformations into a fool-like 'drink'.

In this case, as obviously very special 'official priests', the priests of the Psychic Church need to increase the body transformation rate to a very high level, and Huaiguang also has some special needs. Pretty normal.

But here's the thing...Ian remembered Lübeck who was singled out.

Will the ritual of embracing light transform people into a completely different existence from human beings?

"But the problem is, I didn't see this description on Bishop Baiwu and Huijian... Or is this small difference on Terra not worth mentioning for the silver chip?"

——Don’t say it, it’s really possible. The evaluation angle of the silver chip is obviously very different from that of humans.

Regardless of what is edible or inedible, or the advice it gives, such as its attitude towards the "endangered protected species" of the Ether Stardust Dragon, and its "pest"-like attitude towards the Void Breeding Evil, the height of it is Terran civilization. Unattainable.

That is a description that even though all life is treated equally as much as possible, it still shows a slight tendency.

Ian stood there with a slight frown on his face, and the curiosity in his heart made him want to watch the ceremony.

But he also knew very well that if this kind of thing could not be seen by others, then out of respect for Huijian and others, as well as his hometown Bishop Baiwu, he would refrain from paying attention to it.

The good thing is that Huijian seems to understand Ian's character very well.

"If you want to watch, just watch."

The White People's Priest smiled at Ian, which made Ian slightly stunned. He wanted to happily ask, 'Really? ’, but thinking that now he was playing the role of a knight of the valley with an eccentric personality and an inexplicable preaching habit, he resisted this action.

"Um."

He straightened his face and responded seriously: "Thank you for your permission."

The ceremony began.

Hui Sword and Ying Guang took Lubeck's body out of the restraint array, drew a circular array on his chest, and then began to draw blood marks on it with a knife without sparing any effort, spreading like a spider web to whole body.

For a moment, Ian didn't even understand whether they were going to cut Lubeck into pieces or what they were doing - but soon, he saw that the torture-like patterns were actually a kind of pattern that could be used in life. The effective inscription circuit on the body.

Not only that... Ian also saw that the process of inscribing the circuit must be accurately inscribed without any resistance from the person being marked... But if there is still a little bit of instinctive reaction, it will not be successful.

——It is said that the Holy Priest of the Light will only be selected from those who are seriously injured and even one step away from death.

Ian felt like he might have found the real reason.

Then, Huijian's actions made him slightly startled.

Because he took out a golden bloodletting dagger made of aphrodisiac mixed with fine gold from his arms.

He inserted it directly into his heart, and a pure white, slightly crystal clear liquid gushes out. The Dragonite Sister immediately took out a vial - with the help of her sublimation skills, the liquid flowed out from the heart of Huijian. The crystal clear liquid was contained in it, and Huijian's wound healed quickly.

For a second-level sublimator, the injury to the heart is no longer considered a serious injury. The source species can even control the blood interaction throughout the body even when the heart is blown out... But whether it is the decisiveness of the Huijian or the action of Yingguang, All proved that this was an action that had been practiced many times.

This ceremony is very important to Huaiguang Church.

Huijian's face turned pale for a moment, but he soon recovered, and Yingguang mixed the fluorescent white liquid with some potions, and evenly covered the lines on the surface of Lubeck's body.

The fluorescent agent seeped into Lubeck's body, and then triggered the operation of a certain organ in his body that had been prepared for a long time.

[Confirmation] At this moment, Huijian, as the host of the ceremony, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the direction of Lübeck, whose eyes were still tightly closed and the breath of life was extremely weak.

A white spiritual halo flashed in his eyes: [This person is someone who dedicates himself to protecting all living beings]

At this moment.

Ian sensed it.

In the subspace, a burst of light lit up.

Just like the dawn of dawn, a faint white light lit up from the center of the ring on Lübeck's chest - and then it continued to flicker on and off in the center of the chest.

The rescue team, Shouguang and others who were guarding the surrounding area also noticed this, and they smiled knowingly. Obviously knowing the meaning of this light represented a kind of 'success'.

"Hurray for our new compatriots!"

The Melosian raised her sword high, her voice was extremely loud, and everyone in the rescue team also raised their weapons, laughing and responded: "Guardian with light!"

The light came from the other side of the distant virtual realm, and the white lines swayed in the subspace, swaying around the weapons raised by the rescue team, and finally formed strips of flashing light that merged into the center of Lubeck's heart.

Huijian's voice inexplicably became ethereal and loud, and the holy voice with a heavy response sounded again.

【confirm. This person is an unyielding person who fights against natural disasters]

【confirm. This person yearns for the light, but knows that he is not the person of hope]

[We are the light of light, not the light of light - Lubeck, you have proven yourself that in order to protect more people, in order to prevent man-made and natural disasters from coming, you are willing to sacrifice your life, even if you face death I have never regretted or been afraid]

The white spiritual light in Huijian's eyes was even more dazzling, and even the pupils could not be seen - at the same time, Lubeck, who was originally dead, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes also lit up with white. of spiritual brilliance.

A mysterious resonance appeared between the two of them.

【Lübeck, our compatriot】

The executor of the church with Huaiguang solemnly said: [You are a dead person, you are an undead body]

[Now, you are a member of Huaiguang]
