only god

Chapter 591: The Lord declined, but it took a full year
Seeing that his fellow night watchman was fine, Eden slowly approached the tent on the hill.

After waiting for a while and seeing no more strange phenomena, Eden breathed a sigh of relief, opened the curtain and looked inside the tent.

"This is…"

This tent is very different from other tents at first glance.

The first thing that catches the eye is a long row of bookshelves and piles of books. At first glance, it looks like a small library.

"These are all clues."

Eden's eyes lit up and he said to himself.

Based on the collection of books here and the writings inside the books, we may be able to deduce the identities of the assassins.

Walking into the tent, Eden carefully looked at the desk, which contained paper, pens, and wet ink. He looked carefully and found a piece of paper twisted into a ball under the desk.

Opening the paper, it was an unfinished letter.

"Is this like...Logos? But there are some differences...could it be...the language of the drow?"

Eden said in surprise.

Every literate priest is generally fluent in both Logos and Deschanel, because three of the sacred scriptures were written in Logos and one in Descher. Written.

The text in this letter looks like Logos, but the grammar and individual words are different from traditional Logos, so Eden suspects that this is the language of the drow.

Eden read the contents of the letter hastily. It probably said that the assassination had failed. They had not completed the sacred mission and could not respond to the great revelation. Bear all the faults in front of you.

The letter is not finished yet, it looks like a scrap.

"Holy mission... great revelation, Elder Paine? Is it the sect that converted the Osenko royal family?"

Apart from that sect, Iden could not think of any other sect that was related to the drow.

"If it was really that sect, didn't they stand with the royal family? Why did they want to assassinate Althea?

However, it is possible that the Osenko royal family did not know about it and that the sect acted without authorization. "

Eden speculated while looking for more clues.

He reached out to the bookshelf and carefully took out a volume. When he was about to look at the contents, his fingers suddenly touched something raised like a button.

click.

Eden clicked.

The entire bookshelf trembled slightly, as if something had changed.

Eden looked left and right, and finally overturned the entire bookshelf and found that there was a mezzanine at the bottom of the bookshelf.

"what is this?"

Pulling open the mezzanine, Eden said doubtfully:

"necklace?"

Inside the mezzanine was a small piece of stone strung on a green rope. There were incomplete and detailed words on the stone piece, as if it had been cut off from an ancient stone slab.

"What is this..."

Eden murmured and stretched out his hand involuntarily.

The finger moved forward slowly. This was a subconscious action. If he had been more cautious, Eden would have explored first before stretching out his hand. But for some reason, Eden seemed to have lost his caution at this time.

Or maybe, this piece of stone has a different magic power.

The moment his fingers touched the stone, a dazzling and brilliant white light burst out. Eden's sight was swallowed up, and everything he saw was white.

After the white light, there is infinite darkness. The world seems to suddenly become quiet at this moment. There is no sound, only endless tranquility.

In the darkness, the world was spinning.

Eden felt as if at a certain moment, the space around him suddenly rotated and changed rapidly. He felt waves of discomfort, and physiological nausea and vomiting occurred spontaneously.

After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding space seemed to gradually stabilize from chaos and slowly return to calm. Eden felt a feeling of being pulled by gravity.

Eden's chest felt tight, and a warm feeling appeared in front of his chest. He reached out and touched it, and found that the stone necklace had been hanging on his body at some point.

The dizziness in his head gradually weakened, and Eden finally came to his senses. He breathed heavily and opened his eyes. The infinite darkness had disappeared.

A bustling town appeared in front of him.

This, this is? !

I…

Where is it? !
A group of low wooden houses, a dirt square with a curfew clock, and a castle standing not far away. Standing here, you can vaguely see the semi-closed prison under the castle.

A small river flows on the edge of the town. Groups of women are crowding around, washing their changed clothes. There are also a group of priest-like men standing on the hillside in the distance, kneeling towards the temple-like building higher up. pray.

Eden lowered his head, looked around, and found that he was still on the hill.

"This should... be the hill I stayed at before."

Eden looked confused. He observed carefully. The appearance of this hill was almost exactly the same as the place where he had been before.

And he raised his head and scanned the surrounding environment. The forest was still a forest, the meadow was still a meadow, and the mountains were still mountains. These scenes were so familiar. The only difference was that all the camps in this area were gone, replaced by a bustling camp. small town.

Eden stumbled down the hill.

What's going on, how did I get here?
Touching the pendant on her chest, Eden frowned.

How should I go back?

However, the most urgent task now is to see where this is.

Climbing down the hillside, Eden stepped into the town.

As soon as he walked onto the street, he noticed something.

Looking back, Eden realized that the townspeople here were looking at him with very strange eyes, and their lips were twitching, as if they wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"what happened?"

Just when Eden was puzzled, he walked to an alley, and a man who looked like a guard broke in.

"You, you...why are you wearing the monk's uniform of a dull person? Who are you?!"

The guard held a spear and pointed the tip at Iden.

Idiot?
Eden looked puzzled.

Is he talking about true believers?But...how can true believers...be called stupid?
Also, the guard's language... I obviously didn't know this language at all, but now I can understand it.

"As you can see, I am a priest."

Eden was about to reply subconsciously, but then he thought of something, and when the words came to his lips, he changed his words:
"I picked up these clothes."

Eden naturally spoke the local language as fluently as a native speaker.

"Really? No, you have to come with me to report 'Harosha'." The guard was obviously suspicious of Eden's words.

The "Harosha" in his mouth seems to mean "one who is subordinate to the law", and it sounds like it refers to the local lord.

Eden frowned, but there were too many informants here, so he couldn't make any moves, so he followed the guards calmly.

The guards guarded him through the streets, as if they were taking him to the castle.

Eden observed the surroundings carefully, waiting for an opportunity. Soon, they passed by a deserted street.

"Tomb slave Li."

The old saying goes "possession".

In an instant, the guard froze in place, and without any defense, his body instantly fell under Eden's control.

Eden controlled the guard's body, and then hit his head against the wall next to him. In an instant, a feeling of dizziness came over him, and Eden quickly broke away and returned to his body.

The guard fell straight to the ground and passed out.

"This...should be a pagan town, a pagan town where true believers are called stupid people."

While taking off his monk's uniform, Eden reasoned in his mind.

Eden put on the guard's lining, chanted ancient words, and used mental shock to make the guard comatose longer.

After that, he took some mud and wiped his face, then messed up his hair. After putting on a simple disguise, he carefully walked out of the street.

The top priority is to figure out where this is.

Eden thought so.

He stayed away from the gathering place and went to the edge of the town. Then he randomly found a house, knocked on the door and started to inquire.

After a while, a woman walked out of the house,
"you are?"

"I'm a businessman. I would like to ask where this place is and what specialties it has?"

Eden asked.

The woman had no doubts;
"This is Hongfeng Town. If you ask what specialties there are here, nothing here is worth mentioning. They are all common things.

If you really want to talk about specialties, there may be more elk skins here. If you want it, ask for 'Harosha'. "

After finishing speaking, the woman blessed:

"May the King of Kings bless you."

Eden was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and blessed calmly:

"May you also be blessed."

After the woman closed the door, Eden raised his head and looked doubtfully at the temple-like building on the hillside.

The king of my kings…

It sounds very similar to the pronunciation of "King of Kings".

But, isn’t the King of kings…the Lord? It is written clearly in the Book of Kings and Prophets that He is the King of Kings.

If they also believe in the Lord, why do they call true believers stupid?

Eden was a little puzzled.

None of the townspeople in this town seem to be true believers, and they all have contempt and hostility towards true believers.

In the world, it is not uncommon for religious beliefs to have mutual contempt and hostility. People often attack the people of that god in the name of one god. But Eden's doubt is that the townspeople here seem to also believe in the Lord.

"This place... is so similar to the terrain of that camp. Did I fall into some trap and fall into an illusion?"

Eden guessed so.

Then, he once again set his sights on the temple-like building.

"Lord, forgive me. I may have to chant the name of his god for a while."

Eden clasped his hands together, praying for God's forgiveness, and then walked towards the building.

...............................

Slowly climbing up the hillside, the temple-like building was getting closer and closer.

At this time, he overheard from others that this kind of building was called Lecture Hall.

After crossing the gate, Eden first saw a half-meter-high pit filled with clear water. The believers stepped forward, knelt on the ground, dipped their fingers into the clear water, and smeared it on their foreheads and cheeks, and then He stood up, closed his eyes and walked deep, then opened his eyes and knelt down facing the giant painting inside.

After watching for a while, Eden followed suit. He also used the water to smear his forehead and cheeks, and when he got to the depths, he was shocked when he saw the huge painting clearly.

In the painting, there is a thick and stretching sea of ​​clouds, and the grand door is slightly opened, revealing a gap, and endless spiritual light seems to gush out from it, inspiring every lost soul.

There is no doubt that this is a religious painting.

Eden was surprised that this painting was so similar to the religious paintings of the True religion. If this painting were placed in a True Christian family, no one would doubt that it was the product of paganism.

The only difference is that in the True Religion, the Archangel Soramius often appears in the countless paintings depicting the door of the Kingdom of Heaven, while in this painting, there is nothing except the door of the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Believer, why are you standing here?"

Eden turned around and saw a kind old man looking at him. He was wearing priest-like clothing.

"No, nothing."

Eden said this and quickly stepped aside.

The priest did not leave immediately, his heart was full of confusion and confusion.

I don’t understand what’s going on with the people here. They believe in the King of Kings, which is very similar to the pronunciation of “King of Kings”. They also believe that there is a paradise to go to after death. This is similar to the death of true believers. There is no difference in view, which makes people feel that they are just another sect in the true religion, but they call the true believers stupid.

According to Eden's many years of experience as a priest, it won't be long before the priest-like figure will explain the scriptures. Eden decided to wait here for a while and listen to their scriptures.

As Eden expected, it didn't take long before the lecture hall was almost full of people, and the priest began to preside over the ceremony and explain the scriptures to everyone.

Eden followed the other believers and knelt on the ground, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the clergy here.

The kind-faced old man was the only one standing in the audience. He opened the scripture and spoke loudly to everyone:

"You should know,

That God is dead and gone,
You should understand clearly,
The Lord who once ruled the world fell away for a full 1000 years. "

As if being struck by lightning, Eden stood up straight for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and then stared blankly at the old man giving the lecture.

What is he saying?
Does he know what he's talking about?
Eden was a little dumbfounded. He had seen many arrogant priests, but no one from the true religion or other pagan religions dared to claim that the Lord had declined.

Is this person crazy?He is crazy!

Eden looked around stiffly at everyone on the field. The strange thing was that no one thought it was inappropriate. What the priest said was as normal to them as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
