The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Cosmos at night is not suitable for going out.

Not only because of the chaotic relationship, but also because of going out at this time, the chance of encountering those little ones who fish in troubled waters will also increase.

In addition, the people of the Knights have been wandering and patrolling in all corners of Cosmos. Once they are found, they may be caught without a word, interrogated, and may even be regarded as suspicious characters. Grab it, so no one in Cosmos at night dares to come out and wander around.

But under the leadership of Jade, Sheen walked out of the hotel.

"Have you been to Cosmos? Emerald?"

Seeing Jade walking in front of her like a familiar road, Sheehan was indeed a little surprised.

The main reason is that even if you have been to Cosmos, the current situation of Cosmos is unlikely to make people more familiar with the terrain here.

Who made the position of the buildings here change at any time, and even the places where they can pass are uncertain?

Therefore, logically speaking, even people who are familiar with Cosmos should not be able to walk so easily here, not to mention that the buildings in Cosmos have been moved by Sheen for a while today, making the layout of the city. It is no longer what it used to be.

But Jade was very purposeful and walked in front without any hesitation, which really surprised Sean.

"..."

I don't know if Emerald noticed the surprise in Sean's heart, but she turned around and looked at Sean without saying anything. She just held Sean's hand and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, Sheehan could only suppress his doubts, took the holy sword, followed Jade, and turned left and right in the paths.

After this turn, the two of them turned for nearly two hours before they walked out of complicated and intertwined paths and entered a flat ground.

Sheehan only felt a sudden light in front of him, the buildings without any order disappeared behind him, and only a forest was printed in his eyes.

"Is this... the suburbs?"

Sheehan looked around and confirmed the location of this place.

With this confirmation, Sheehan denied what he just said.

"This is not the suburbs.

"

If it is the suburbs, it should be able to see the city wall of Cosmos.

As a fortress city, Cosmos is surrounded by tall city walls. The closer you are to the suburbs, the more you can see those city walls.

But now, Sheen couldn't see the existence of city walls around it, proving that it is not only a suburb, but also an area that is closer to the center of Cosmos.

"It's obviously the center of the city, but there are no buildings at all?"

This is unlikely.

unless...

"The buildings here have all been moved."

If that's the case, things get interesting.

Because, in a whole area, not a single building was left, and all of them were moved away. Sheehan never believed that this was an accident.

What's more, when entering Cosmos, Sheehan and Ayi discovered the abnormality of the magic here.

After entering this area, the abnormal magic in the air became more obvious and more intense.

In this way, Sheehan has reason to believe in one thing.

That is...

"Is this the source of the weirdness...?"

Sheehan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Ye in front of him.

On the side, Jade also looked at this place quietly, until after a while, she continued to hold Lasheen's hand and motioned him to move forward.

"Alright, let's go."

Sheehan naturally wouldn't refuse, he nodded with a smile and walked forward.

This time, the two walked for almost half an hour.

Until, under the leadership of Jade, Sheen came to a place.

It was a place with a shrine.

The temple is very large and high, standing like a hill between the flat ground, it seems to have a kind of majestic feeling.

However, such a majestic temple is actually pitch-black and covered with thorns and vines.

In that way, it doesn't look like a solemn sacred place at all, but rather like a dark castle where vampires are imprisoned, which is terrifying.

"Where did such a strange temple come from?"

Sheehan blinked, somewhat stunned.

Jade was also staring at the temple, her eyes dropped, and there was a moment of irritability and rejection.

But it was obvious that there was a sense of rejection, but Jade still pulled Lasheen and pointed to the dark temple.

"Uh..." Sheehan said clearly: "You let me in?"

Emerald nodded immediately.

"All right."

Sheehan was somewhat helpless.

no way.

Thanks to the [Magic Perception] skill, Sheehan has discovered that the strange magic in the entire Cosmos flows from that temple.

The temple is like a vortex, with magic power circulating around it, and it is not sucked in, but released, as if it is repelling everything around it, letting the wave of magic power impact the surrounding, which is very spectacular.

Sheehan even felt that the reason why Cosmosli had an inexplicable transfer phenomenon was because of the influence of the magic power released by this temple.

Those magic powers that seemed to be repelling something pushed away the buildings and life in the surrounding area, which caused all the buildings in this area to disappear and were transferred to other places, and the magic power was still gradually. The expansion of the influence has led to a lot of transfer phenomena around.

Under such circumstances, Sheehan felt that once he got close to the past, he would immediately be transferred to another place.

"If it weren't for this, the people from the First Knights and the Broken Blade Knights wouldn't be here, right?"

Sheehan thought so.

only...

"It seems that there are people who are not affected by this magic..."

Sheehan immediately cast his gaze around the dark temple.

There, there were actually figures walking around.

"Orc...?"

Yes.

Those figures walking around the dark temple are exactly the orcs.

They are all dressed in animal skins, but they are different from ordinary orcs. They not only draw mysterious tattoos on their bodies, but also wear crowns made of animal hair on their heads, which is quite like a tribal priest. .

The orc priests guarded the appearance of the dark temple, and their expressions were full of vigilance.

With the [Appraisal] skill, Sheehan peeked through the level of these orc priests.

"All of them are above level 60?"

This strength is far stronger than the ordinary knights, and it is almost close to the kingdom's guard knights in terms of level.

Why would such a group of powerful orcs appear here and be vigilant around the temple like that?

"I seem to have heard Vivian mention that although orcs have the same beliefs as humans, they only believe in the goddess of life among the three goddesses."

Sheehan couldn't help but recall things about the orcs.

A demihuman who possesses some of the characteristics of a beast, that is, an orc.

If elves are a famous magical race, then the orcs are a famous fighting race. Although they generally lack magical abilities, they are born with sensitive five senses and outstanding physical abilities. They are known as the best in melee combat. ,No one can beat it.

And depending on the breed, the orcs have distinct racial advantages.

For example, the cat people among the orcs have a keen sense of hearing and excellent agility, and they are fast-attackers who can quickly deal with the enemy.

The rest are pigmen with excellent toughness, werewolves with both agility and dexterity, and rabbits with amazing jumping ability.

Such as the arrogance of the werewolf, the excessive vigilance of the cat people, and the loyalty of the dog people once they swear allegiance, they are the characteristics of the orcs.

Such orcs have a very strong ability to reproduce and keep pace with humans. They are the type with a relatively large population in the human race, but the orcs have not established their own countries, but exist in the form of tribes, and they are found in all countries in the human world. habitat.

Because of the jungle law of the jungle and the fragility of life, the orcs regard the goddess of life as the highest belief among the three goddesses, and only accept the blessing of the goddess of life.

Orcs also receive blessings differently from humans.

After the birth of children, human beings are brought to the nearest temple by their parents, guided by priests, and blessed by the goddess of the gods.

Orcs are different.

It is said that the blessing of the orcs is carried out by the saints of the family.

The saint is the most loyal believer of the goddess of life, and will give everything to the goddess of life. When a child is born in the clan, she will pray to the goddess of life, and ask the goddess of life to give her the power to exercise blessings for the clan. Bless the children inside.

Of course, this blessing is not a blessing bestowed by the Goddess of Life herself.

Since the Goddess of Life is the mother of all things and the mother of all life, she can use her own power to bless all life in the world.

That kind of blessing is basically a degraded version of the blessing that is regarded as the goddess of life, and the blessing itself is divided into strong and weak. Not the blessing bestowed by the goddess of life herself.

Like this, the saintess of the orc race can perform miracles within the race by offering everything to the goddess of life, praying to the goddess of life, and asking the goddess to temporarily grant her various powers.

For this reason, the saintess of the orc race has a very high status. Before they are born, they will be regarded as objects that must be guarded. Let the race train a priesthood for the saintess since childhood, which is specially responsible for protecting the saintess. The female escort escorts, and even gives advice.

The saintess of the orcs are generally held by foxmen who possess the magical ability that other orcs lack. This foxman will also be protected by the clan immediately after birth, and will not easily appear in the world and be known to the world.

Today, there is a temple guarded by orcs, who are dressed like priests.

Is it...

"They are the priesthood of the orc saintess?"

If so, who is the temple they guard?

"Goddess of life?"

Sheehan couldn't help but ponder.
