Chapter 142: So you are also a believer in the Mist?
The winding Ness Mountains are covered with layers of peaks and shrouded in clouds and mist. The continent-famous Ness Lake is located in the mountains.
Hundreds of years ago, the story of a giant lake monster hiding in Lake Ness, which often came out to devour humans and animals, began to spread among the people of Golden Lion.
The ceremony of the Goddess of Mist will be held on the shores of Lake Ness.
Yeats left Grey and Phocas in the palace, while he rode on Radish along the Ness River to the foot of the mountains.
"This action is related to the promotion to the 'Trickster' profession." Ye Zhi thought to himself: "If I can satisfy the Goddess of Mist, maybe I can even become the 'Chosen One of the Mist'..."
The vast forest in the mountains looks like endless blue waves from afar.
Ye Zhi looked up and couldn't help but think of the details about the 'Mist Festival'.
The clergy structure of the Cult of the Mist is similar to that of most cults, mainly divided into three parts: believers, priests and bishops.
But the Mist followers are not organized or disciplined, and often make up fictitious sectarian positions for themselves.
For example, the Saint...
'Mist Weaver' Ellal said he had never heard of such a title in the sect.
“When you’re out in the world, you give yourself an identity,” Yeats secretly complained.
The Mist Festival is a secret meeting held at irregular times and locations, and the news of its time and location will be quietly spread among high-level priest groups.
At such ceremonies, believers of the Mist will only be allowed to tell the truth, and the Goddess of the Mist will also show her miracles in fancy ways such as smoke, colorful clouds, and abrupt music.
"I'm not a follower of the Mist, so it makes sense that I lied at the Mist Festival!"
The representative token of the Mist followers is the silver-plated mask commonly used in the sect.
Although Yeats did not have such a token, a Mist Bishop would often make multiple silver-plated masks for emergency use.
So, it doesn't matter if Ye Zhi doesn't have one, just ask someone else for one! "Elar, I'm already at the foot of Mount Ness, come and see me, we can go to the meeting together."
Yeats sent a short message to Ellal, briefly summarizing his whereabouts.
After the "Night of the Lunar Eclipse" incident, this fourth-ring illusionist mistakenly regarded the ability to drill teeth as Yeats's method, and thus believed in Yeats's so-called "messenger of God" identity.
Ellard was hiding in a dilapidated hunter's cabin in the Ness Mountains, waiting for the moment when the celebration began.
Hearing the short message that spanned a hundred miles, Ellard was startled and hurriedly put on a silver mask, his body floating up in the mist.
An hour later, he met Ye Zhi and said respectfully, "In the name of Wuying, Lord Messenger of God, it is an honor to meet you!"
Facing the fanboy-like Ellar, Ye Zhi nodded coldly, and the "flawless lie" took effect, and he said calmly:
"I came here to show the miracle of the Mist Goddess."
Ellar's body trembled slightly: "Excuse me, what kind of miracle is this?"
Yeats pretended to be mysterious and avoided answering.
The doubts in Ailar's heart grew stronger, and Ye Zhi extended his hand to him:
"Now, hand me your spare silver-plated mask."
"why is that?"
"My mask was given to me by the goddess herself. I only have one. However, when I wear it, my magic power will continue to be lost, and it takes a high price to restore it." Ye Zhi said, "There is no need to show it to others at this festival, so I plan to borrow your mask."
Ellar was a little skeptical, and said thoughtfully: "Lord God's Messenger...can you let me take a look at this mask given by the goddess herself?"
"I will put it on when necessary." Ye Zhi stretched out his palm dissatisfiedly and urged, "Why don't you hurry up?"
Where can I get any God-given mask... Yeats thought secretly... In "Phantom Wings", the Mist Cult does have a mask of rare quality, which has the effect of changing aura and disguising appearance. It is said that it was really bestowed by the Goddess of Mist.
This kind of treasure is destined to be with me!
Elar was still obsessed with the night of the lunar eclipse. His awe overwhelmed his doubts, and he obediently handed over a silver-plated mask.
Ye Zhi put the mask on his face, pulled up his cloak to cover his iconic silver hair, nodded in a pretentious manner, and said in a low voice:
"Let's go up the mountain."
On the way, the two chatted about the rumors about the Lake Ness monster.
Elar said that the first Mist believer who spread the news of the lake monster was truly a genius. Not only did he implement the teachings of the Goddess, he also provided the Mist Cult with a safe and undisturbed venue for rituals!
Ye Zhi nodded and thought to himself, you all think the lake monster is fake, wait until I lure the lake monster out, then you will be in trouble!
"I have been waiting here for a long time, you evil pagans!"
The air suddenly became heavy.
The overwhelming pressure from the five rings silenced the birds and beasts, and Ye Zhi couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
Having just encountered the crazy black-robed monks of the Inquisition, now he encounters the believers of Holy Light!
They regard beliefs other than Holy Light as heresy and are eager to eliminate them as soon as possible, but they never expected that they would send a Five-Ring Transcendent to ambush here!
From the depths of the forest, brilliant holy light gushed out.
In the reflection of a golden light, a purple-robed priest wearing a crown and holding a scepter walked out slowly with a look of compassion and indifference.
In the entire northern province, there is only one priest who is qualified to wear purple robes, and that is the Archbishop of Edinburgh Cathedral, Archbishop Tolbin, who possesses five-ring strength!
A sense of oppression is coming upon me.
Elar's body shook suddenly, and he left Ye Zhi behind and evacuated quickly using flying skills.
The purple cardinal raised the scepter and tapped it lightly. Suddenly, a holy light gushed out from the gem on the top of the scepter and sank into Ellard's body, causing him to fall from the air.
Boom! The Sealing Technique can seal the mage's ability to perceive the magic network, and is considered a major killer weapon for Holy Light Priests against mages!
“Not good!”
Ellar's heart went cold: "The Archbishop of the Five Rings has come here to ambush... Could it be that he wants to assassinate the Lord Messenger of God and involve me as well?"
Yeats thought quickly.
There are two possibilities for Torbin's appearance here. The first is that he was disguised as a Mist Follower.
But the holy aura on him cannot be false.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Then there is only the second possibility, he is indeed Archbishop Tolbin, that is, in the game plot -
The high-level cross-dressing villain who became the archbishop in the church while posing as a follower of the Mist!
Think of this.
Yeats used the ability of the "nightingale voice" to change the timbre, and his voice was as magnetic as a bass, and he said in a deep voice:
"You can fool other people, but you can't fool me."
The purple-robed cardinal ignored him, raised his scepter, and the gem on the top of the scepter condensed into a raging holy fire.
"In the name of Mist Shadow—"
The heat wave of the holy fire rushed towards him. Ye Zhi felt that he would definitely be burned to ashes by this holy fire spell. He still said calmly: "Torbin, you are also a believer of the Mist, right?"
Whoosh~ The holy fire quickly dissipated.
Ellal stood there in a daze, looking around at the messenger of God and the purple-robed cardinal.
But see.
The purple cardinal had a half-smile on his face and reached out to peel off his face.
Beneath his old disguise, there was a silver-plated mask that emitted a faint glow.
The Archbishop of the Northern Diocese——
Ellal was shocked.
So you are also a believer in the Mist? !
Under the mask, Tolbin laughed hoarsely like an old man, indirectly admitting his identity, and said to Yeats with interest:
"You didn't fall for me, and you know my background... What are your origins?"
Yeats: "The Messenger of the Mist!"
Tolbin smiled and did not delve into the title issue. Instead, he asked:
"You and that believer who calls herself a saint are both here to become God's chosen one, right?"
Yeats asked in return, “Are you going to run for the Chosen One?”
Tolbin shook his head and said, "Don't answer questions with questions. It's rude... But, never mind."
He let out a hoarse laugh.
"One who calls herself a saint, one who is a messenger of unknown origin, and me, the archbishop of Holy Light. Haha, the Mist Festival is as chaotic and interesting as ever!"
Chaos is the norm in life.
How to find fun in chaos is the lifelong goal of the Mist Cult, and they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for it.
Yeats invited Tolbin to go with him, saying, "Why don't we go to Loch Ness together?"
Tolbin smiled and nodded, then said hoarsely:
"According to my experience of participating in festivals for many years, on the way to Lake Ness, the goddess who does whatever she wants will set up various tests--"
"It would be interesting if you died in the test." Torbin emphasized the title, "Lord Messenger of God?"
A test from the goddess of mist? Ye Zhi thought of the strategies for passing the levels in his previous life and smiled softly: "Then you must follow me closely, Archbishop Tolbin, or you will be trapped in the illusion and unable to get out."
Torbin laughed loudly, and then gave a friendly reminder, "Yes, it seems that you have some understanding of the content of the test. As the oracle said, death is just an illusion... everything is just an appearance. As long as your will can satisfy the goddess, it is enough to get rid of the illusion! Let's go!"
Judging from what Tolbin said, it is not a one-day or two-day occurrence for the Goddess of Fun to make things difficult for her believers.
Ye Zhi sighed in his heart... It had to be his "fellow countryman" the King of the Wild Hunt. He called him godfather and rushed into the divine realm to save people! (End of this chapter)
