"The Four Pillars of God..."
Cleos murmured softly, Qinna, Annan and others raised their eyebrows, but more magicians looked confused.
Most of the high-ranking magicians who have served in the Red Hats know about the Four Pillars Divine Cult, and agencies that focus on gathering intelligence also have some understanding of it, but it is impossible for other magicians to understand this mysterious organization - mainly because the Four Pillars Divine Cult is doing rather badly in the Kingdom of Gospel.
It's not just miserable now, it has always been miserable. That is, when the country is in civil war and the dynasty changes, the Four Pillars Divine Religion can be glorious for a short time, but it will soon be suppressed.
The main reason is that the omnipresent gospel system is too restrained by this mysterious organization. Even if the gospel will not deliberately leak the intelligence of the Four Pillars Divine Religion, as long as the Red Hats use the gospel for investigation, they will be able to uproot the Four Pillars Divine Religion sooner or later.
For the Kingdom of Gospel, the Four Pillars of the Gods, the Abyss, the Void Passage and the Office are collectively known as the 'Four Pests'. They are minor problems that can never be completely solved but do not pose much of a threat, so no one takes the Four Pillars of the Gods very seriously.
However, they will soon understand that the Four Pillars of Gods religion is not effective in the Gospel Kingdom, not only because of the course of history, but also closely related to the personal ability of the leader.
"In the underground hall, the leader of the Four Pillars Cult, known as the Rusted Crow, sat on a throne that looked like it was woven with iron crow feathers, looking down at the countless kneeling black-robed believers."
"His voice was erratic, as if it was for men, women, young or old, full of charm that penetrated the eardrums: "From today on, you are all Rusty Crows. You are my eyes, my tongue, my ears... You are my sense of touch."
"You must delve into every dark corner of this country." In the Mermaid Palace in the sewer, the Sirens are offering sacrifices to the Four Pillars of Heresy."
“You must set foot in every hall of this country.” In the magnificent banquet hall, several people dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaved elegantly showed the white gloves on their right hands and smiled at each other.
"You must become the pillars of goodness." In the war-torn city, magicians save civilians from danger. Every rescued child is given a black crow feather, and this gift becomes the source of their courage."
““You must become the savior of the villains.” As the vault door was blown open, the thugs rushed in to loot gold, silver and magic spirits. They looked at the magician wearing white gloves in front of them with admiration, attracted by the more elegant and cruel violence.”
“Then increase their desires and give them what they need.”
"She who is obsessed with the family name, let her know how to be crowned." In the office, An Nan looked down at the invitation in his hand.
"For those who yearn for power, let them know how to inherit wisdom." In the training ground, the sweaty Zuvendas tried to tear up the paper in his hand several times, but the thin paper was as tough as a mountain.
"Lonely, let him know how to gain understanding."
…
"He who seeks glory, let him know how to forge glory."
""Without thinking or intending, let her know how to control the basics.""
Seeing this, whether it was the supporting actors who were named to make a friendly cameo appearance in the video, or the onlookers who were able to watch the show peacefully outside the video, they all felt a deep chill in their hearts.
What they saw before them was not a reactionary organization in a remote area that could be wiped out by the Red Hats at any time, but a strange sect that was deeply rooted and spread throughout the country.
They control the Mermaid Palace, the largest intelligence organization in the other world, and have penetrated deep into the ten major gospel conglomerates. They have supporters among the people, and criminals regard them as idols!
The most terrifying thing is that they can see through the weaknesses of human nature and dig out the darkness of human nature. Even the Sanctuary Magicians are nothing more than pawns at their mercy!
Those at the top of the Trickster List are actually the same as Zuvendas—they know in their hearts that if they really get the ritual knowledge given by Rusty Crow, they will most likely commit the trickster crimes predicted by the future list.
It is called a weakness because it cannot be refused.
And they also realized that the first nine tricks on the "Trick List" were all preparations for the first trick!
They are indeed the masterminds behind their respective schemes, but behind the schemes, there are still schemes!
In silence, an indescribable panic burned the hearts of all the audience - what exactly did Rusty Crow want to do? He created such a large organization, controlled so many magicians, and induced so many tricks. What ulterior motives did he have! ?
"Rusty Crow turned the throne and saw a huge map hanging on the wall behind him - the Gospel Map. The overall terrain of the Gospel Kingdom is a rectangle that is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. After more than a thousand years of development, almost every place is a residential area for intelligent creatures."
"I saw Rusty Crow take out a notebook with the information of the magicians on it."
"Crown." Annan's photo was posted on the top city.
"Wisdom." Zuvendas's photo is posted on the upper right side of the city.
…
"'Foundation.' The picture of Ephalim was posted in the city below the Gospel."
“When Rusty Crow connected these photos with lines, an upside-down tree pattern appeared on the gospel map.”
Seeing this, everyone completely understood the truth of the first trick.
"Mad man," Ryan muttered.
He is indeed a madman - Rusty Crow not only plotted against many Sanctuary magicians, but all the tricks of the Sanctuary magicians are only part of the ritual. The real ritual will cover the entire Gospel Kingdom!
No wonder all the tricks were scheduled on the same day. They even suspected that the time error of the first nine tricks would not exceed one hour to ensure the launch of the final ritual.
Ryan and the others couldn't even feel too much anger, they just felt more incredible.
As long as they find something wrong with the gospel.
As long as any link in this chain of tricks goes wrong.
if only……
To put it bluntly, it would be normal for this trick to fail, and it would be a miracle if it succeeded!
They couldn't imagine how much preparation Rusty Crow had done in order to accurately induce the first nine tricks. The amount of work was despairing just thinking about it.
The first trick, well deserved!
However, the inverted tree pattern has a total of ten nodes, and the first nine tricks are responsible for one each. Obviously, Rusty Crow will be responsible for the last one himself.
And the last node is at...
Southern city, Azura.
"Rusty Crow stood on the bottom floor of the inverted building, overlooking the prosperous steel forest below. As a bunch of fireworks rose, fireworks suddenly rose continuously in the city, and then the sparks flew along the ring, cutting a huge circle in the center of the city!"
The magicians saw the space inside the spark ring being torn into gray chaos, and the expressions on their faces were very interesting, because they all knew this thing.
Not only do we know each other, but we also go in for a walk every night!
"How can there be such a big door of truth!?" a magician couldn't help but say.
"Wait, if something in reality touches the Gate of Truth..."
"In theory, no matter what material thing can pass through the Gate of Truth, but the current situation..."
"When the giant Gate of Truth was completely formed, Rusty Crow seemed to have received some information. It smashed the floor-to-ceiling glass and leaped towards the Gate of Truth."
"Crown." Denzel, who had just arrived in reality, suddenly found himself separated from Annan's body, and his soul quickly burned and turned into smoke and flew south."
“Wisdom.” The diamond-shaped blood mark that formed when Zuvendas slaughtered his relatives suddenly flew to the south by itself.
““Understanding.” “Mercy.” “Severity.” “Beauty.” “Victory.” “Glory.” “Foundation.”
"Raise your vision to a high altitude overlooking the entire Gospel Kingdom, and you will be able to see a clear upside-down tree pattern. The ritual energy from all parts of the Gospel Kingdom is converging and flowing into Azura!"
""Finally..." Rusty Crow bit his index finger and sprinkled his blood into the Gate of Truth: "The Kingdom.""
"boom!"
"A clear aurora curtain rose across the entire Gospel Kingdom. The Mermaid Palace, the Financial Group, the Red Hats, the criminal gangs... before anyone knew it, the Four Pillars Cult had devoured the entire Gospel Kingdom. Following the leader's orders, their life energies also flowed along the inverted tree into the Kingdom of the End!"
"Fooling countless magicians and plotting against billions of people!"
"The Gate of Truth suddenly shrank into a point, and Azura's first layer was flattened, even creating a huge circular pit."
"After a brief gestation, the Gate of Truth shrank into a thread as bright as light. Then it was as if tens of millions of people were weaving at the same time. The heels quickly took shape in the light, followed by the knees, the waist... until the last strand of hair was woven."
"He stepped lightly on the crystallized soil, looked down at his naked body, tore open the Door of Truth with his right hand, pulled out a dark red windbreaker and put it on, then looked up at the Rusty Crow on the edge of the pit."
"The weather is very good tonight, the stars are shining, and the constellations are lined up. Thousands of stars are greeting them. So he waved to the Rusty Crow and said with a smile--"
"Good morning, Igura."
