The lord is red again

The old hunter got up, but he didn't have extraordinary strength. He was able to support himself until now and relied entirely on his will.

Or there may be some other small means.

Linde looked at the iron box in the old hunter's hand. His hand had been on the box since he was surrounded just now. He tried to open it several times, but was interrupted again.

"Why did you come here?" Linde asked.

He was probably the only one who could speak calmly during the siege. The storm continued to push the surrounding fanatical villagers. The periphery of the battlefield storm was madness, but the center was unimaginably calm.

The BOSS in the early and middle stages came to the Novice Village, and its suppression of the mobs around the Novice Village far exceeded its suppression of the players.

"Hunting those bloodthirsty monsters is a job that started hundreds of years ago." Charles answered Linde's question truthfully.

"Bloodthirsty?" Linde did not see any monster that could be called "bloodthirsty". Although the fanatical villagers behaved crazy, most of them mainly chopped and divided corpses.

Aphids may have some thirst for blood, but they directly imitate and transform after drinking blood, indicating that blood is just a lure for them and is not necessary for survival.

"Those monsters drank blood and planted humans." Ciel finally opened the iron box, which contained several grapes that exuded a sweet smell.

His slightly trembling fingers struggled to pinch a grape. The severe pain in his body made it very difficult for him to perform such a delicate movement. The grape fell into the box again twice.

Finally, he threw a grape into his mouth with difficulty. The texture of the bursting pulp and the sweet and sour taste made his mind temporarily blank, and it seemed that the pain in his body had disappeared.

Lind frowned at his reaction. He looked like a drug addict craving for grapes, which made Lind unwilling to believe what he said.

"Sorry, I'm addicted to it." The old hunter took a deep breath and closed the iron box. "It makes me feel like I'm still alive. Sometimes I also wonder whether I'm searching for traces of those vampires for my own benefit. The mission is still for the sake of food and drink.”

Lind didn't want to comment on the other person's behavior: "Tell me more, hunter."

"We should go to a quieter place." The old hunter got up, and with quick and easy movements, he completely got rid of the shackles of pain.

Grapes helped him mentally and psychologically far more than potions.

Using humans to plant vines was nothing special in Lind's opinion. Just like in the Dark Night Orchard, the Blackfire Brothers, who were controlled by the Unholy Holy Grail, used humans to plant vines and then hatch certain bugs.

Thinking of this, Linde was suddenly shocked.

[Black Flame's Unclean Holy Grail] and "The Bloodthirsty Monster of the Fox Cave" actually have some inextricable similarities.

They were all grown by humans, and bugs hatched out of them.

There may be some kind of connection between the two parties... maybe it's not surprising that there is a connection, because all power comes from the magic circle.

Maybe after catching the so-called bloodthirsty monster, he can get the answer.

Linde turned around and looked at more and more crazy villagers around him. The fearful villagers and the bloodthirsty bionic red spirits had formed a solid wall, but the gap in strength made Linde and them like two different people. kind of creature.

"Where to go?" He raised his hand, and the wind tore the wall apart.

The villagers, who were baring their teeth and claws, tried to rush over, but were restrained by the wind wall on both sides. They could only stretch out their fanatical hands towards Linde and the stunned hunters.

Rather than attacking, they seemed to be cheering the two off.

The hunter knew that he had encountered a powerful being that might be far beyond imagination: "Hunter's Association, my foothold, follow me!"

The Fox Church is also the foothold of the current hunter association.

Linde felt a familiar feeling as soon as he stepped into this place. The strong attraction made him instinctively turn his head and look around.

Here is something that almost appears to contain a fragment of a magic ring.

Because Lind has a fragment of the magic ring in his hand, he is very sensitive to similar things.

"Have you noticed?" The old hunter took out another grape.

He has slowed down his speed and carefully put it into his mouth, but addictive things cannot be restrained, and the grapes in the iron box will be eaten up soon.

What awaited him might be the addictive madness caused by the suppression of grapes, but he still ate with his mouth full of blood and didn't care.

"Have you seen that thing? What is it?" Lind asked, his eyes turned and finally looked at the mural.

The original animal murals have no hidden story lines.

"There is something powerful here. It is the foundation of the Fox Church. I think it is the god of this shrine." The old hunter Charles sat down on the ground: "I once investigated the story here and found that the Fox Church The birth of the Church overnight, the church exalts noble blood and rejects filthy blood.”

"Noble blood?" Linde walked to the mural and picked up the [Unholy Holy Grail of Black Flame]. The Unclean Holy Grail bound by the iron chain is now much more honest, although it will always convey various thoughts to Linde. , but knowing that he could not give a price that would satisfy Linde, he learned to be quiet.

However, after entering the church, the Holy Grail's reaction was a little violent.

It comes from the Church of the Sun.

Although as a cursed item it has nothing to do with the justice of the Sun Knight, it instinctively resists other cult objects.

Religious wars far exceed the struggle for human rights.

Without Lind's reminder, the Holy Grail suddenly burst into black flames, like a fluttering black sail that completely covered the entire wall in front.

The next moment, a wedge-shaped necklace appeared in front of the two.

The black flames continued to burn and attack.

The damage of this flame is more powerful than the flame used by Lind. Not only is it more flammable, but it also comes with mental attacks.

The wedge-shaped necklace trembled violently and finally fell to the ground with a "click".

Under the stimulation of the black flames, the necklace always flashed red light.

Lind took two steps back.

He didn't think that no one would discover the strangeness of the church since it was built. Putting aside other things, the kingdom would still send a great knight to come when the fox cave was first built. The great knight with extraordinary power could not fail to recognize the treasure.

But there is another paradox here. It has only been three years since the magic ring was broken. The golden wedge-shaped necklace in front of him should have appeared here for many years.

Or... the magic ring was not broken in an instant, but continued for many years. Every year, some fragments fell one after another until it collapsed three years ago.

The magic world is still too complicated and troublesome for the Land people who worship knights and muscles, so Lind has no relevant information in his mind.

He looked at the Holy Grail.

The two sides communicated through the chain connection.

Simple information transmission.

Lind needed to know what the necklace was and whether he could touch it.

The Holy Grail showed that it needed Lind, it needed Lind to become its Black Flame Bishop and spread its faith.

In the past, the Holy Grail humbly hoped that Lind would catch some people for it to plant, or simply feed those people some insects. Unexpectedly, it saw the opportunity now and directly put forward conditions.

"This is impossible!"

Lind shook his head and refused, and issued a series of fatal questions: "As a religion, what is your doctrine? What is your religious thought? What can you bring to believers? Why should believers believe in you?"

The old hunter on the side rubbed his eyes.

He could guess that Lind might talk to the Holy Grail in his hand, but the problem was, what was he talking about? What could religion bring to people? Religion brings nothing, it only asks for things from believers.

This is Lind's Chinese thought. If a god is useless, why should I believe in you?

This is also the thought of the undead. If you can't get any benefits, then you are not an NPC, you are a BOSS.

On the contrary, if you are really useful, you will be well fed and well entertained. If you are happy, no matter if you are a folk legend or a wilderness evil god, everyone will unite to make you a legitimate god.

The Holy Grail had to lower its own chips.

It wanted 100 voluntary believers.

"100? Of course, but I have a condition. You must give them the same ability as the Black Fire Brothers." As long as the final right of interpretation belongs to him, 100 people are nothing, and he even has to worry about those people tearing each other apart for this.

Death is the most insignificant punishment.

The Holy Grail continued to transmit its will, and said that the Black Flame Brothers were originally the best state for believers, but it had to pay too much. It needed believers to devote themselves, but it didn't really want to pay their own strength.

The goal of the Holy Grail was to have more and more believers who could be controlled. Of course, dead ones were also OK.

Of course, it never hid its goal. This was related to its different way of thinking from humans. The more it stayed with Lind, the more it wanted Lind to surrender to it.

Having one hundred or one thousand Black Flame Brothers was far inferior to having one Lind.

The Holy Grail indicated that if Lind was willing to become a bishop, it was willing to give its full strength to let Lind completely control the Black Flame and become a more powerful existence than the Black Flame Brothers, and it would never allow Lind to sacrifice.

Lind still refused. This thing couldn't move him.

However, the first cooperation between the two sides had been reached. Lind would give the Holy Grail 100 people, let these people eat the maggots in the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail would answer all his questions about the necklace in front of him.

Both sides believed that the other side had paid a huge price, and only they earned the most.

100 people is not a small cost.

For Lind, a piece of secret knowledge that is impossible to know is the price of things, as for 100 people, it is really not a problem.

Being able to get instructions on the use of various props from the Holy Grail is Lind's biggest gain.

He decided to make a fortune quietly, and he must use the state of "I'm losing money", destined not to curl his mouth, only in this way can the transaction continue.

The unclean Holy Grail of Black Flame also sent a message to Lind.

"Fox Heart?" Lind bent down to pick up the golden wedge necklace. If the Holy Grail is correct, the necklace named [Fox Heart] has a large piece of magic ring fragments, and the individual is far more than the Holy Grail.

However, it does not have the ability to attack, and it has not yet born consciousness. It just instinctively uses noble and pure blood as the screening condition.

What is noble blood?

Those who are of the same origin as it belong to noble blood. As the BOSS in the internal test period, the power of the nobles comes from the magic ring.

The moment he picked up the necklace, the world in front of Lind suddenly changed, and his thoughts seemed to be pulled out of his body in an instant.

He opened his eyes.

The orange sunset hung in the sky, and the refreshing white clouds floated in front of him. Looking into the distance, there was white snow, and looking down, there was green grass under his feet.

Turning around, a park bench was covered with a thick layer of yellow maple leaves, and a green willow bent down to provide shade for the bench.

This is a place that encompasses all four seasons.

There was a stone slab path under his feet, and the slight ups and downs on it seemed like massaging his feet.

There were a few stray cats running in front of him, and one came to Linde leisurely, rubbing his ankles gently with its body. The touch was real, and the cat was real.

Linde walked to the bench, turned around and sat down.

"What is this place?"

A voice came from the depths, transmitted in the form of thoughts, but it was unclear.

It seemed that there was nothing strange about the power of the magic ring fragments to create a space, and the sacrificial space of the [Banshee Horn] could also operate in the same way.

He looked up at the sky, as if there were pairs of huge eyes looking down at him, and the so-called fox heart seemed to have become an ant nest, and those high-ranking behemoths might be trying to pick up a small branch and poke him gently.

Linde!

Someone is calling him, but the call sounds like a violent beating of a heart.

Lind suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still standing in the Fox Church, holding the [Fox Heart] in his hand. The voice calling him came from his heart, from his second heart.

"What on earth is this?" Lind held the Holy Grail in one hand and the necklace in the other.

The Holy Grail sent a message. Although he could not use language, the direct wearing of consciousness ensured that the message was absolutely correct: this is the "womb of hatching gods".

Lind always had a wary heart towards gods, and he even felt that the necklace was a little hot.

"So, are those eyes I just saw gods? Or are they fertilized eggs ready to be reincarnated?" He just felt something was wrong.

Although he didn't have to pay any price for it after using the [Fox Heart], the awkward feeling in his heart made him very uncomfortable.

The Holy Grail sent a message again, this time more clearly: this is the womb of hatching gods, the womb that allows gods to be reborn, if you can find a god.

Something that is useless even if you get it.

If he could capture a god, he wouldn't need this thing at all.

And the Holy Grail also showed that even if a god was reborn from the "womb", he still couldn't control it. Each god had his own power and ideas.

"Who are you?" Suddenly the old hunter's voice came.
