Chapter 63 The Return of the Holy Object
"Dark Moon... Scepter..."

The moment they heard it, the three ladies didn't understand what Soul was saying at all.

The Dark Moon Holy Relic is the eternal pain of all priests who serve the Dark Moon, and is the shame in the heart of every priest.Everyone is looking forward to finding the holy relic one day. However, facing the increasingly declining church, everyone knows that they can only stay in expectation.

The three women never imagined that they would actually see the return of even one of the sacred objects in their lifetimes.

No, maybe Lisa thought about it, because she always believed that her brother could do anything.

So she reacted quickly. After being stunned for a few seconds, she let out an astonishing scream. The volume almost shattered Shuer's eardrum: "Dark Moon Scepter? Sister Goddess, no, no, no, the goddess gave it to you." One of the set of sacred objects?"

"Otherwise, is there another dark moon scepter?" Shuer did not blame Lisa for losing the majesty of the bishop. He just unfolded the cloth in his hand on the stone platform, revealing the smooth cane as black as ink inside.

The moment the Dark Moon Scepter was exposed in front of the icon, a storm of divine power erupted in the small room.

The power of the dark moon surged between the holy object and the holy image. With the holy image as the core, the majestic divine power quickly spread around, filling the entire sanctuary in the blink of an eye.The next second, the divine power spread again, sweeping across the whole city in an instant. Everyone in the Rose City felt the powerful majesty of the gods at this moment, as if they were facing the gods walking in the mortal world, and a strong feeling rose in their hearts. The urge to kneel.

Fortunately, the divine power retreated as soon as it started, fading rapidly, leaving only a faint residual divine power settling in the Dark Moon Sanctuary.

Everything only happened in a moment, but on the street, many ordinary people had already knelt down under the pressure of divinity.They slowly got up with doubtful expressions. You looked at me and I looked at you, guessing which true god was patrolling their territory.

This is just the reaction of ordinary people, but besides them, there are also those clergymen in the temple area or other temple headquarters who are affected, those who really master the sacred power.

"Is this... the dark moon at dusk?" Under the golden sunshine, the old man stared at the radiant icon of the sun god Sur on the golden carriage and murmured softly.

"Dark Moon's gaze?" In the temple where the breeze is always blowing, the short halfling beard of Cerro's high priest swayed in the wind. "What attracted Dark Moon's attention?"

"The return of the holy object? He really got it back. It seems that Shuer of the Dark Moon Temple is really a talent." In front of the statue of Earth Mother, which was always covered with dust, a kind middle-aged woman gently stroked the head of her head. Wheat earring, for these people, the loss of Dark Moon's holy relic is not a big secret. "Can he really bring life to the dying Dark Moon? Do you want to help him?"

"Is this a demonstration, Priest of the Dark Moon?" Bathed in the silver moonlight, the girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old frowned.At this time every day, the archbishop of Diana personally preaches the sacred scriptures to the priests. Choosing this moment to return the sacred objects, "Humph, it is simply sinister."

The popes of every church headquartered in the Rose Capital concentrated their energy perception in the direction of the Dark Moon Sanctuary, thinking about their own thoughts.

However, the four people in the Dark Moon Temple have no intention of thinking about this, at least not for the time being. After all, they are the first to bear the brunt of the power of the Dark Moon.

Of course it's not a bad thing. No matter how powerful the gods are, they won't hurt their followers for no reason. They only get benefits.

The return of the holy object triggered a resonance with the divine power between the icon, and the resonance attracted the gaze of the gods. As a result, surging divine power poured out from the icon, triggering a vision that spread throughout the city. Four people were bathed in the divine light at the same time. among.When the divine power was withdrawn from the holy statue and everything returned to silence, the four of them discovered that their bodies had been washed clean by the divine power inadvertently. Not only did their spiritual power surge for no reason, but their perception of the divine power also became more acute. , which means that you can control Dark Moon's exclusive magic more freely.

Especially Melia and Talina, everything that happened was simply a miracle for them.

Both of them are nuns serving the Dark Moon, but they are not considered priests.

The so-called nuns and priests are ordinary people who are steadfast in serving the gods with all their body and mind and are accepted by the church. They are not professionals and cannot control energy and use magic, so they cannot join the ranks of clergy and can only do some peripheral work for the temple. , only by breaking through the limits of the body and entering the realm of professionals can one go a step further and become a priest who truly serves the gods.

However, the two nuns are already in their 30s and have no combat experience. The possibility of breaking through their physical limits is very slim. They know that they may never have the chance to become Darkmoon Priests in this life, and they slowly accept this reality and are willing to become nuns. The identity of the gods works for the temple.

However, this sudden situation unexpectedly changed their fate. Being baptized by divine power at close range, coupled with their affinity with faith, caused their bodies to forcibly break through the limits of ordinary people and sense energy fluctuations.

This also means that they have entered the field of professionals, and even if they are only the lowest-level professionals, they can also obtain the qualifications to become Darkmoon Priests.

With two "pops", the two of them fell to their knees weakly at the same time, looking at the Dark Moon icon with dull eyes. The return of the holy object and their own breakthrough made the two of them completely confused and confused. The brain can no longer understand whether what is happening in front of it is reality or a dream.

"ah!!!!"

It was Lisa who was still shouting, and it was right next to Shuer's ear.

The overjoyed girl jumped directly onto Xiure's back, strangled his neck, and let out a scream of surprise that was comparable to the howl of a banshee. "Ahem, cough, cough, come down here, cough, uh, I'm going to die." Just a little bit away, Shuer would become the first battle priest to be strangled to death by the archbishop's own hands.

Fortunately, the great Lisa, although her face was still red with excitement, recovered her senses in time, climbed down from her brother's back, held Shuer's hand firmly, and stared at the warm black color on the stone platform without blinking. Scepter.

"Brother, I'm not dreaming, everything is real."

"I don't think it's like a dream." He gently rubbed Lisa's soft blond hair, and encouraged him with a smile, "Don't you plan to go and have a look? That is an exclusive sacred object that can only be used by the archbishop. Find the lost ones. One of the most enduring holy relics, your name, the Archbishop, will always be praised by future generations of Dark Moon believers."

Unexpectedly, the girl did not rush forward as excitedly as Xiu Er imagined. Instead, she turned around and stared blankly at Xiu Er's face. The joy and excitement in her eyes were slowly fading away.

"Brother." The girl's voice was very soft, "It must have been hard work."

"It's okay, it's just a coincidence." Xiure said nonchalantly, "I just happened to come across something suitable, so I exchanged the sacred object for it."

"Really?" With a noncommittal smile, Lisa gently hugged Xiuer's waist, pressed her face against his chest, closed her eyes and listened to his strong heartbeat, "Brother, you are trying to lie to me again ?"

"How is it possible, I..."

"You have participated in shadow chasing three times in two months. This frequency is unprecedented. It even includes teammates you are not familiar with. I have experienced it and know what it means. Ha, shadow chasing is inherently dangerous. With Unfamiliar teammates go to Chasing Shadow, which is tantamount to gambling their lives, can you tell me why you do this?"

"Uh……"

"Two months, three times, more times than most shadow chasers in a year. I never knew why my brother was so hardworking all of a sudden, but in order not to worry him, I never asked why. Ha, there's no need to ask now. , I know it too, haha, coincidence?"

"Okay, I was wrong. It's not a coincidence, but..."

"Hush." ​​The girl raised her hand and pressed Xiu Er's mouth, looked up at his face, the smile on her face was intoxicating, "Don't say so much, brother, really don't need, I'm listening to your heartbeat , the words in your heart were all spoken out by your heartbeat, and I heard them all."

"Um..." Xiure scratched his head at a loss, "Um, are you really not going to take a look at the sacred object?"

"Hehe, brother is an idiot." The big devil Lisa came back again. The girl smiled and stepped heavily on Xiure's instep. She whirled around like a gust of wind and floated to the stone platform. She held the Dark Moon Scepter and held it high in front of the statue. He raised it and said, "Goddess, with your blessing, my brother has finally found the sacred object, and the lightless moon will hang in the sky forever."

The moment the Dark Moon Scepter was raised to the highest point, a vision suddenly appeared.

A strong light emanates from the icon. Although the intense sacred light will not cause damage to the eyes, it also makes it impossible for mortals to look directly.

When the light dissipated, the appearance of the holy statue had changed. It was obviously a stone sculpture, but its image had changed contrary to common sense.

The icon, which was originally standing with its hands hanging down, had raised its right hand, and a black scepter appeared out of thin air. It was held in the hand of the icon and pointed forward, as if it was releasing divine magic.

As the form of the icon changes, the energy fluctuations in the Dark Moon Sanctuary are also slowly changing. The power of the Dark Moon that only believers can feel has quietly increased a bit. Being in the Sanctuary allows believers to exert more power. A tremendous strength.

"Ha, the great Lisa finally has a weapon." The scepter on the icon is the same as the sacred object in Lisa's hand, but it is not the same one. The girl happily waved the scepter and said excitedly, " Brother, this is the best gift, I like my brother the most!"

"Cough, cough, cough." He coughed a few times and looked embarrassed on the surface, but his narrowed eyes revealed the secret joy in the heart of a certain bastard priest.After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, Xiure smacked his palm and said, "Okay, in order to celebrate the return of the holy object, let's go have a big dinner today."

"Wow, brother, are you crazy with joy? But it doesn't matter. I like this proposal so much. Aunt Talina, go and call the children over. Let's go together."

"Hey, I didn't say I would take them with me."

"Hey, you have to take it anyway, so don't resist." The girl held Xiu Er's arm with a smile, "Let's go, let's go have a big dinner."

Lisa-sama is so happy every peaceful day.
