only god

Chapter 596
When he returned to the camp, the church bells had stopped ringing for a long time, and Eden came back to his senses from that ethereal and holy state.

He stretched out his hand strangely, lowered his head and glanced at his body, as if he had experienced baptism again.

"This is... this is really bizarre."

As he spoke, Eden was a little excited. He clasped his hands together and couldn't help praying to God and praising His miracles.

The experience of this day, for some reason, made me seem to have some understanding, and my understanding of the path of divine creation was much deeper than before.

At this speed, it might not be long before he can advance to the third level.

"It's time to start preparing materials for upgrading."

After praying, Eden said to himself.

The price of the materials used to advance from the first level to the second level is not high, but the materials used to advance from the second level to the third level are different. Not only are they several times more expensive than the former, but there is even a key material that is priceless.

The difficulty in upgrading is not only the materials, but also the fact that even if you prepare all the materials, you still need to be familiar with the ancient sayings of the third level, otherwise the success rate will be greatly reduced. Among the ancient sayings of the third level of the Choir, there are two ancient sayings. The words have not yet been known to anyone.

It has been about tens of thousands of years since the birth of the second prophet Norn. During the long history, even the mountain peaks have been polished and edges, and thousands of ancient sayings have experienced loss, rediscovery, and rediscovery. A lost process.

Even for churches that have been passed down from generation to generation, the number of ancient sayings currently counted is far less than thousands of years old, so it is normal for a certain ancient saying not to be known.

Because of this, you need to prepare early.

"The second-level ancient words of the choir are 'sacred, inspiration, soul, possession...' and so on. In this case, the two ancient words of the third level may also be related to faith or spirituality."

In the tent, Eden pondered,

"Coupled with the characteristics of the choir, I may need to go to the Holy Land to find relevant clues."

The Holy Land, that is, the place where the mountains stand - the ancient kingdom of Logos. Since the demise of that country, the place that gave birth to the first civilization in the world has never experienced war or turmoil. Although small conflicts are unavoidable, But it's still one of the most peaceful places in the world.

This peace is due, on the one hand, to the relatively sparse population of the residents of the Holy Land, who have not formed kingdoms, city-states or tribal clans. On the other hand, it is due to the elves of Nus. Those elves who live a prosperous and long life do not like war, and With the force to stop the war, and because of faith, peace has always been maintained in the Holy Land.

Because of this peace, there are many clues or legends about lost ancient words circulating there.

Before Eden became a priest, he had gone on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. At that time, he was still studying the path of divine creation, so he didn't pay much attention to those lost ancient sayings.

"The situation is different now...Osenko's sect, the drow elves, and...this pendant, there are really too many mysteries."

A sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Eden clenched his fists. He really had too little power.

Night has completely fallen, and even the birds have returned to the woods. Many torches in the camp have been extinguished, leaving only a few flames for lighting or heating.

Feeling slightly sleepy, Eden lay back and was about to close his eyes.

At this moment, suddenly, a burning sensation came from my chest.

"what happened?"

Eden stood up suddenly and grabbed his chest.

The stone pendant was getting hot. Not long after Iden grabbed it, it was so hot that he let go and his palm turned red.

"What exactly is this?"

Eden said strangely, feeling a little panicked.

Since the last vision, this stone pendant has been silent for nearly half a month. No matter how hard Eden tried, there was no response. The pendant behaved like an ordinary pendant.

Now, it was constantly heating up, as if it were burning, so hot that Eden felt a burning pain.

Eden grabbed the pendant and tried to take it off, but found that the pendant necklace was surprisingly hot, and he had to let go after just touching it for a while. "Damn..."

Before he finished speaking, the stone pendant suddenly burst out with light, as dazzling and brilliant as last time, and Eden's sight was swallowed up again.

A familiar feeling surged up. After the white light, darkness followed, and the world became quiet without any sound.

The dizzying feeling surged up again, the surrounding space changed, and Eden still couldn't help but want to vomit.

Just like last time, it didn't take long for the chaos to dissipate and the space to stabilize again. Eden breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes, and the dazzling light of the scorching sun burned his face.

It seemed to be noon.

"I...came to this kind of place again."

Eden got up from the ground, looked around, and gasped.

The town he had seen before disappeared, and the air was filled with a bloody and putrid smell. He raised his eyes and looked up, and the cruel and bloody scene appeared before his eyes.

This is like a battlefield. Not long ago, two armies clashed. The collapsed flag was half-standing on the battlefield. It was surrounded by broken walls and ruins. There were hundreds of corpses on the ground, and the armor and weapons on them had been stripped off. Only half-rotten flesh was left to be eaten by crows, and Eden almost vomited.

"Has that town... been razed by time?"

Iden walked forward on the battlefield. He touched the ruins around him and looked around, confirming that this was the location of the town.

"What exactly happened?"

Eden searches the battlefield for clues.

He held back his nausea and blessed the undead on the battlefield while looting corpses one after another.

"This flag... looks like the flag of an empire."

Eden found a broken military flag, and after carefully identifying the coat of arms on it, he found that the flag was seventy-nine similar to the imperial flag.

Not far away, Eden found another military flag. It was obviously the military flag of the enemy of the empire. There was no coat of arms on it, only simple and solemn paintings. It looked similar to the religious paintings on the gate of heaven that Eden had seen. Very similar.

"Could it be...the belief in the King of Kings that I saw before?"

Eden guessed.

Obviously, on this battlefield, a big battle broke out between two armies with different beliefs. In the end, there seemed to be no winner.

Iden groped for a while, and soon he touched a scripture on the body of a pagan priest accompanying the army.

For some reason, perhaps because of the stone pendant, Eden understood the words on it.

"The Book of Miracles?"

After flipping through it, Iden finally learned the name of this pagan religion and some of its teachings. It was called the Cult of the Giant King and believed in the King of Kings. This new god was a god born after the decline of his own power. Inheriting the authority of the Lord, he stepped on the shield and ascended to the supreme throne.

This time, Eden, who had been mentally prepared, was not as excited as last time. He just silently put away the pagan scripture and said to himself:

"Anyway, it's not true...it's just a heretical conspiracy and a vicious lie."

As he spoke, Eden recited a few verses, prayed to the Lord, and begged Him to forgive those who had been bewitched.

While the priest was praying on the spot, suddenly, a rustling sound sounded from the edge of the battlefield.

Iden quickly turned around and saw a drow suddenly emerge from the pile of corpses. His skin was green, he was holding a bow and arrow, and he was staring at Iden warily.
