Chapter 182 Bishop Rada: Your mission is to seize the bodies of the three Ansu! (Two in one)
The old priest wiped the cold sweat from his head, thought to himself that he was offended, and took out a magic fire extinguisher from the side, and sprayed it at the three candles. However, he did not expect that the three candles would still fight with each other, and sparks flew everywhere.
The ritual candles were all made from the corpses of the finest Saint-level warriors, and could not be extinguished by ordinary water magic. Sparks splashed onto the desk nearby, and the fire instantly grew bigger.
An Su stood in the center of the magic circle, feeling pitiful and confused, thinking, why is this thing different from what I thought? The boy was now surrounded by a circle of fire, like a roasted suckling pig.
The flames rose rapidly upwards. The alchemical array was drawn with a large amount of mercury. This liquid evaporated into mercury vapor when it came into contact with high temperature. The highly toxic gas enveloped the air and soon the old priest was almost suffering from metal poisoning.
The old priest had been doing this job for thirty years. He had seen all kinds of esoteric geniuses, but he had never seen such a weird and heavyweight thing like Ansu. He was going to be hospitalized for it! His old face was as red as liver.
Other young men who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers are just slapping people in the face, but you are trying to kill people!
The space magic is completely isolated from the outside world. It is a completely enclosed space with no ventilation at all.
As Ansu did this, the smoke from the fire and the toxic mercury vapor instantly filled the entire space, and the expressions of the twenty-four esoteric geniuses present also began to change subtly.
Only Ansu stood in the middle of the magic circle, as if nothing had happened.
He has a relatively good physique and has been blessed by the Mother Goddess of Life many times, so this kind of poison is just a drop in the ocean for him.
"It is said that when a genius of magic is born, there will be strange phenomena and disasters."
Liszt took out a special self-made mask and covered his mouth and nose, and analyzed with a serious face, "I think Brother Stairs is a genuine genius in magic."
"We should help Brother Ansu!"
Arthur is a sports student with the physique of a Sun Knight inherited from his ancestors, so the poison gas has no effect on him.
He felt that what Lister said made sense, but seeing the fire in front of him, he thought that my genius deputy would help Ansu's prestige, so he immediately took out the last bottle of "Vulcan Wine" from his pocket and smashed it directly at the burning magic circle.
"Boss Ansu, I'm here to help you!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly became strange.
The Fire God Wine brewed by Grand Duke Annan is also known as Fire God Dragon Wine. It is an alchemical wine made from the heart of a high-level fire dragon. At this time, it happened to be thrown on the oil fire of the holy man. The wine fueled the fire, and the power of the sun instantly soared.
Raging flames burned around the wine and corpse oil, forming circle after circle of fire walls that spread outward madly, along with thick smoke and poisonous gas. In an instant, the entire space was filled with smoke.
The faces of the esoteric geniuses were as if they were dead.
You arsonist! Although we just became sworn brothers and agreed to die on the same day, I didn't expect you to die so soon. We just became sworn brothers and you're going to die together the moment we did.
Although a little bit of poison gas would not have much impact on their lives, they would always feel dizzy if they inhaled too much.
In addition to the poisonous gas, what made them even more uncomfortable was that the flames were burning more and more vigorously. The ritual fire could not be extinguished by ordinary magic. This space was not connected to the outside world and was narrow and cramped. They were like crabs in a steamer.
Although they cannot be killed, it is quite torturous.
The genius' candle never goes out, but your candle causes a fire.
The two bishops came to this space via projection and were unable to extinguish the ritual fire.
Now, unless the Mother Goddess of Life looks away on her own initiative, the flame will go out. But what puzzles the bishops is why the Great Mother Goddess still doesn't look away!
An Su stood in the magic circle with sweat all over his forehead, cursing in his heart, "Mother Goddess, stop peeking at me!"
"Hee, very interesting."
As for the Stair Saint Elf, she was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out, her scarlet eyes were full of joy, and she wished that the fire could burn even more vigorously.
She didn't expect that such a boring ceremony would actually lead to such a joyful chaotic scene. These guys have a future! Especially the 'Chaotic Stairs'. She didn't expect that such a genius would emerge from the Stair Cult! It was completely beyond Elf's expectations.
The flames burned more and more fiercely, and the faces of the Chaos Geniuses became more and more desperate.
They stared at An Su in the center of the flames with gray eyes. They never expected to meet such a heavyweight figure in their lifetime.
Especially the chaotic elevator scene where he acted like a big brother. He said he would protect his little brother An Su, but he didn't expect that the little brother would want to kill him the next moment.
As the organizer of this ceremony, Bishop Rada looked very proud.
This is when the greatness of the Gorilla Cult is reflected. The Cultists of Pain have no hair on their bodies and are not easily burned.
Bishop Bram of the Ocean Cult said hastily, "We can only open up space now and abandon our stronghold in Crow Lane."
He was afraid that if he was any later, the geniuses of the esoteric sect would have problems.
When it comes time to offer sacrifice, there is no price to pay.
When it comes to abandoning the stronghold, Bishop Rada feels quite painful. After all, this space stronghold was built by the Painful Cultists at a cost of several months. It is such a waste of manpower and resources to abandon it after only a few days.
And it was not abandoned because of the search by the Church of Order.
It was because of an internal fire! If this were to get out, it would really bring disgrace to the Gorilla Cult.
But soon, Bishop Rada figured it out. He decided to take advantage of the fire to report some false accounts to the headquarters. He immediately opened the space, and when the geniuses of the esoteric sect saw a big hole, they ran out in a hurry.
Ansu followed him out. The moment he walked out, he was able to connect with the heaven. Merlin's lazy voice came to his ears.
"Oops, sorry, sorry, there was no signal just now, it's not that I'm lazy."
The God of Law pretended to be concerned about An Su and asked him about his well-being. "I know, I know. The cult stronghold is dangerous. The space magic built by these thieves is complicated. I am also working hard to crack the magic structure of this space magic. I am definitely not lazy."
Merlin looked at the newly built magic circuit and said to Ansu in a serious tone.
"No need to build a new magic circuit."
Ansu looked at the fire rising in the space. The ritual fire had been out of control since Ansu left the magic circle. The frantic fire snakes kept rolling in the alien space. The space structure was shaky and kept collapsing. As the magic structure of the space was burned through, the entire stronghold collapsed completely.
The flag that symbolized the esoteric religion was burned to ashes in the flames.
It was late at night outside. The night wind after the rain was clean and clear. Stars hung in the dark night. The pale blue starlight slowly dripped down along the skyline and fell in the deserted alley of Crow Lane, covering the ashes with starlight.
[A cult space base has been destroyed, contributed by: Ansu Morningstar (90%), Arthur Sunny (5%), Lister Moon (5%)]
Merlin raised his eyebrows. What the hell is this? He just touched the fish for a while, how come the plot has developed to this point.
These little beasts destroyed other people’s stronghold?
Without caring about the God of Law's astonishment, An Su hung up the call first.
His head was still dizzy, not only because of the effects of the mercury gas, but also because of the hallucination he saw in front of the candle of life.
Crimson stars fell from the sky, cities continued to collapse, and on the dining table of the gods, every time the knife and fork fell, a star fell from the sky. Ansu sat at the end of this doomsday table, watching the world being gradually divided up by the gods.
"What is my fire sign?" Ansu asked the old priest curiously.
Other esoteric geniuses also hurried over; this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Ansu's first two candles burned very vigorously, and the last candle even caused a fire.
Brother Stairs is really amazing.
The old priest rolled his eyes. His face was still purple and he didn't recover. He took a few deep breaths before he said to An Su in a bad mood,
"The 'book' shown by the candle of pain indicates that you will go further and further on the path of a pain warlock in the future. The 'scepter' shown by the candle of chaos represents that you will continue to climb upwards in the chaos, and the last candle of life..."
"The last candle of life?" An Su tilted his head.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"There is no fire sign." The old priest shook his head. "I didn't see anything. I think you may have angered the Mother Goddess of Life, which caused this disaster!"
An Su felt that what the old priest said was absolutely right. He was a genuine saint, and it was normal for him to offend the Mother Goddess of Life.
Arthur was dissatisfied with the old priest's words. "What do you mean by angering the Mother Goddess? My brother Stairs is clearly a genius in the esoteric religion. I think it was the Mother Goddess of Life who loved Brother Stairs too much and was so passionate about him that the fire was caused."
The old priest glanced at Arthur sideways and did not answer his nonsense.
He had been interpreting the will of the Mother Goddess for decades and was a famous fortune teller. How could this rough man from the Painful Church understand the Mother Goddess's mind? However, the old priest actually had another interpretation that he hadn't said, but he thought it was too absurd and would only make people laugh if he said it, so he didn't bother to say it.
Perhaps the entire space is engulfed by the fire of life, which is the fire image shown in the ceremony before our eyes.
In the mystical sense, space also symbolizes the world. If all this comes true, all the old worlds will collapse in the flames of the young man before his eyes, and the Serpent of Pain and the Son of Sacrifice are the left and right assistants who help to burn the fire of the world.
But this is really too ridiculous. It would be more reliable to anger the Mother Goddess.
In any case, the ceremony was finally over.
The geniuses of the esoteric sect who escaped from the sea of fire all felt like they had survived a calamity.
Bishop Rada looked at everyone with satisfaction. This time he was able to confirm that there was no undercover agent in the cult. Everyone could be trusted and were eligible to run for the sect's Holy Son.
Especially the guy called Chaos Stairs, whose candlelight was so bright that it looked like a fire. He is definitely a big villain.
Furthermore, the boy's candle of pain was quite bright, which showed that he also fitted in very well with the Cult of Pain.
And the fire element that appears is "books".
This shows that this guy is quite educated.
Bishop Rada wants to recruit Ansu into his own ape sect. With the help of this think tank, the cultural level of their sect will definitely be greatly improved. They will no longer be laughed at, and they will be more confident in fighting against Merlin.
He coughed lightly, and the pressure of the demigod spread out, instantly silencing the noisy scene.
Bishop Rada looked around at everyone with dignity and said slowly, "It seems that everyone present here is trustworthy."
"After observation by the three of us, we selected the most loyal candidates."
The deacons nearby handed out a list. An Su took a closer look and saw that all of them were geniuses of the esoteric sect with three candles fully lit. His name, Lister's, and Arthur's names were also on the list, a total of nine people.
"Those who are not on the list can leave now."
The Ocean Bishop spoke sinisterly, and immediately the geniuses of the esoteric sects below burst into a loud commotion, but no one dared to act rashly in front of the demigod, so they had to swallow their dissatisfaction and left Crow Lane in disgrace.
Once most people left, the originally empty Crow Lane became empty.
Ansu observed the believers around him. Those who stayed were the elites among the elites, with ranks close to the fourth level. Although they had just been tormented by the ritual fire, their faces remained normal.
The Deacons of Pain cast a simple shielding magic at the entrance of the alley, blocking out all sounds from the outside world.
"Everyone present here is the most loyal believer of the three major secret religions." Bishop Rada said with satisfaction, "I am very satisfied with your performance. It is time to hand over the most secret plan of the religion to you."
Lister, who was present, nodded. He had always been a member of the Cult of Life and was very loyal.
Everyone here applauds Arthur, he has also graduated from the painful cadre school, and has a good family background.
Ansu, who was present, was full of agreement. He was also very loyal. He was the mayor of chaos and was loyal to the Church.
Merlin, the Glorious Bishop present in the magic communication, also acknowledged that the Glorious Bishop was the most loyal to the cult. Half of the magic of the God of Magic was plagiarized from these three cults. There was no need to explain his loyalty.
The four of them listened attentively, wanting to know the Theocracy's top-secret plan.
Bishop Rada looked around and said solemnly, "We have been lurking in Farol for several months. Assassinating the saints during the promotion exam is just a manifestation of our grand plan. It is a cover for the grand plan of the Church."
"Our real goal is to take advantage of the chaos and emptiness in the imperial capital, while the demigods of the Church are too busy dealing with internal assassinations to pay attention. Then, our Painful Iron Cavalry will launch a blitzkrieg on the border and seize the imperial capital's border."
"In the end, the empire fell due to the combined efforts of both inside and outside forces."
"Before that, there is another obstacle, which is the three major forces within the border. If they resist, the secret sect will not be able to succeed in the first place. When the demigods of the Church recover and come to support, the plan will fail."
Bishop Rada had a gloomy expression on his face, but he was actually proud in his heart. The plan they came up with was so vicious and cruel, and it was perfect.
Merlin would never have thought of such a terrible and hidden plan.
"However, the three heirs of the three border families, Ansu Morningstar, Arthur Sunny, and Lister Moon, are currently in the Glorious Church."
"They are of similar age and rank to you, and you have proven your loyalty to the cult, making you the most suitable candidates. Through the Chaos Church's transfiguration, you will be able to take over their bodies!"
Bishop Rada said to the nine secret believers, including Ansu and the other two, in an unfathomable manner: "Your final mission is to sneak into the Glorious Church and impersonate Ansu, Arthur, and Lister!"
"Whoever succeeds will be the quasi-holy son of our three major sects!"
