Magic Eye Warlock

The night passed and the orcs didn't come back. I don't know if they gave up or had other plans.

The twilight of dawn wakes up the town of Dawn, but at this moment, the quiet and peaceful town in the past is no longer alive.

The ground near the Dawn Library was full of potholes, collapsed houses everywhere, and the corpses of some orcs were scattered on the ground.

In the hall, Yan Chong had been exercising until after one o'clock in the morning before the satiety in his body disappeared, but at this time Luo Li and the others had already eaten the whole table full of dishes.

Therefore, Yan Chong can only use meditation instead of sleep, and honestly continue to exercise his spiritual power.

Although there was such a fierce battle yesterday, after three or four hours of meditation, Yan Chong was already full of energy, without any sleepiness, and fully recovered.

There are several delicate tents standing next to them, and there is a steady breathing sound from inside.

After walking out of the library, looking at the scars on the ground and smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Yan Chong couldn't help frowning.

"War is such cruelty." A dull voice came from his ear, Yan Chong turned his head to look, Merlin had come to his side at some point.

"However, those who suffer will always be these innocent people." Yan Chong said with a frown.

"Yeah, if our Glorious Church built a church here before, maybe when the orcs invaded, the priests would definitely help to guide the people, so that more people could escape this disaster."

"It is my generation's responsibility to spread the light and expel the darkness." Merlin's expression was regretful, but his tone was very firm.

"Why doesn't the empire allow you to build a church here?" Yan Chong wondered.

He was very curious before, what was the reason that prompted the drastic changes a hundred years ago, which led to the decline of the empire.

"Ambition!" Merlin's tone suddenly intensified, and he spat out two words.

"No emperor is willing to share his power with others. What he hopes is that the entire empire, even the entire endless continent, is under his control."

"However, ambition needs a corresponding strength to match. He doesn't have the corresponding strength, so he made the wrong choice."

"But," Yan Chong couldn't help interrupting Merlin's words, and retorted, "The Church of Glory serves the gods, right?"

"Then why is the Church a threat to the power of the Empire of Man?"

After speaking, he stared at Merlin closely, as if trying to distinguish the truth from the false answer he answered next.

Merlin smiled and said indifferently: "Do you think our church is a bunch of sane people who are greedy for power?"

Yan Chong didn't speak, still staring at the other party, showing his attitude.

"Empires change from time to time, but gods are eternal."

"Who moved who's cheese first, that's anyone's guess. As an emperor, maybe he can enjoy the highest glory and power among humans and do whatever he wants. But once the gods are offended, all we do is just It's just the will of the gods."

When the voice fell, Merlin turned and left.

Yan Chong stood on the spot, thoughtful.

Just now, he did subconsciously apply some of the history of the earth to the endless continent.

However, he ignored that the so-called divine right of the monarch on the earth is just a trick directed and performed by the monarch to fool the people.

But the Endless Continent is completely different. The lifespan of the gods is almost eternal, and the empire is constantly changing. Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, it is just a long-lived and stronger ant in the garden at home.

An ant can dominate his colony, but once he floats away and wants to turn against the guests and drive humans out of the garden, the nature of the matter is a bit serious.

Therefore, the church may not be as arrogant as imagined. What they do,

It has always been the behest of the gods.

However, there was a new question in Yan Chong's heart. As an emperor, especially the native aborigines of the Endless Continent, how could he not understand this truth and instead anger the gods?

A slight tremor was transmitted from the ground, Yan Chong couldn't help looking around, and at the door of the library, Luo Li walked out.

"What's the situation? Could there be another battle?" Yan Chong couldn't help asking.

This tremor was a bit like the head-sized fireball Sophia released that day, causing the aftermath of the explosion.

But there was no explosion nearby, more like the aftermath of a distant earthquake.

"It's the altar node. Merlin should be destroying the altar node in the town." Lori said, "Let's go, let's go too, or we will be preempted by this guy. Maybe, the clue of that thing is also related to this."

Yan Chong knew it in his heart. Yesterday, Luo Li said that the orcs may have transformed the entire town into a huge altar.

No matter whether their plan to capture the town is successful or not, the creatures who die in the altar will provide sacrifices for the altar, regardless of whether they are enemy or foe.

So, it's quite possible that they've exceeded their goals.

When Lori flipped her palm over, a gold-bottomed card appeared in her hand. It was the card that sealed the Harrick Altar yesterday.

I saw that she covered the mental power on this card, sensed it for a moment, and then ran in one direction.

Yan Chong quickly followed.

"Altars throughout the town are designed to expand and store offerings, and this miniature altar serves as the core for absorbing offerings and communicating with evil gods."

Luo Li raised the card in her hand and said, "There is a faint connection between the two."

Soon, the two came to a small alley.

Luo Li stomped lightly on the ground with her feet, and the bluestone broke open immediately, and a dense red light radiated out.

The pungent and bloody smell filled the air. Looking down, it turned out that the bluestone was not mud, but a red viscous liquid.

The liquid radiated red light, and seemed to be radiant. Although it was just a pile of dead objects, Yan Chong always felt that there was life in it, with the pulse of his heartbeat.

"It smells like XP." For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Yan Chong's mind.

When Merlin released the magic before, Yan Chong analyzed that XP is likely to be a good thing that the gods want, so, the so-called sacrifice, the object is the evil god, then it is very likely that the human soul is needed.

"The XP of human beings is definitely much higher than that of cows, sheep, chickens and ducks. After all, there is a big gap in wisdom."

"So, the evil god likes cruel and bloody sacrifice rituals, and the sacrifices are often human."

【Abstract】!

However, after launching [Drain], nothing happened, and no XP was earned.

"Is it because it exceeds the 2-minute time limit?" Yan Chong was not disappointed. He had always had the mentality of trying, and his [Drain] ability had been promoted to C rank, and there was still a 2-minute time limit.

"What are these liquids?" Yan Chong asked Luo Li. Like the unknown liquid in Richard's secret room, [Reading] did not show any information.

"The loop conductor of the sacrificial ceremony, the blood of some kind of abyssal demonic creature, represents the ominous and dirty." Lori looked solemn.

"We can only seal it, or use magic to purify it."
