Embela went back to her bed and sat down. The female companion who had a good relationship with her quietly came over and asked what happened in front of the porridge stall. Embela looked sideways. She was wary and only said that she was ingenious and that the nanny was willing. Let her go to church and help.
As an orphan, she knew not to trust anyone easily, especially those companions who were with her. Their jealousy could kill someone. Embella had been beaten many times by Scarface because her companions reported on her for hiding money and food. .
Sure enough, upon hearing that he was just going to work, the jealousy in the female companion's eyes dissipated: "Well, I thought you could be a priest."
The two chatted for a few words and then separated. As night fell, the companion suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and walked outside the house. He left the area guarded by the city guards on the excuse of going to the toilet, and waited for something in the dark alley.
After a while, an old man came to the alley. He threw a shiny gold coin to the girl and asked, "Can you bring out the right person?"
"Okay," greed flashed in the girl's eyes, and she glanced at the old man in fear, "I can trick a companion out, as you promised me before..."
The old man said impatiently: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you the money."
"I will definitely bring him here tomorrow morning!"
Early the next morning, Embela got up early and washed herself with the soap and towel provided by the city guard. She looked at her ugly self in front of the mirror and felt a little inferior. At this time, the companion who had talked to her yesterday came to Embela's house. Pulling behind him, he said: "Embella, come with me to the toilet."
"Okay."
Embella had no doubt that he was there. After all, this good friend often went to the bathroom with her, one of them helping the other to keep others from peeking.
Following her good friend, Embela and she walked to the dilapidated toilet. Just as he was about to ask who could go in first, his nose smelled a strange floral fragrance, and his originally sober head became groggy.
"You...what do you want to..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Embella raised her head hard, only to see her good friend lying on the ground, shouting at the top of her lungs: "This is different from what was promised!"
"I really thought you could escape."
The old voice sneered, and Embela felt himself being put into a snakeskin bag, and then completely lost consciousness.
Chapter 469 Prayer
"Uh……"
When Embela opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dark cell.
The thin girl wrapped herself in clothes and found that the temperature in the cell was not as cold as the previous house. Even if she took off the cotton padded clothes distributed by the city guard, she was still warm.
The girl did not scream in panic. The moment before she fell into coma, she remembered the conversation between the Second Princess and Scarface, and immediately guessed why she was captured. I am afraid it was the one who asked Scarface to induce them children to pray to the devil. The damn noble took action.
With little knowledge, she sat in the corner and carefully examined the environment of the cell, trying to identify where she was and the specific time.
At this moment, light appeared in the dark corridor, and the elf mage and Duchev, who Lorenno and others had been looking for for a long time, appeared in the cell. They glanced at Embela who was awake and didn't care, and walked straight over. , while chatting to themselves in the corridor.
"Sir, how long will it take to prepare the ceremony? I'm afraid they will soon find out where we are hiding. Although the mist forest has been covered with anti-detection magic and a series of spells to prevent detection, some people with special abilities said You may not be able to find us.”
"Don't worry, Duchev. I will be able to construct the summoning ritual in one day, and then I can get part of Bayer's power. By then, we can completely break through the empire's blockade and return to the country."
"That Her Majesty the Queen..."
"She won't take action, or as long as it doesn't endanger the entire continent, they won't take action personally. Of course, the queen may have to add another condition, such as ensuring the safety of the second princess who ruined our affairs. "
"That's good. Fortunately, you have a small demiplane to store these children..."
The two of them walked further and further apart, and Embela, who heard the whole plan, huddled in the corner and analyzed and drew conclusions with the experience and shallow knowledge brought about by his poor life.
There was only one day left before she would be sacrificed to the devil.
But the girl was not afraid. Instead, Embela had some expectation in her heart - would the second princess come to her again and save her on time?
While the wandering girl was daydreaming, her "good friend" roared from the cell in the distance: "Damn liar! Someone come quickly! You promised me you wouldn't do anything to me and pay me back! You guys These sons of bitches, hurry up and open the door for me..."
The good friend kept swearing. The elf mage in the aisle frowned and raised his hand. The girl who was yelling was immediately silenced. The other children in the cells shrank in fear. Only Embela was not affected.
She sketched the appearance of the "Second Princess" in her mind, and the half-elf figure gave her courage. Embela closed her eyes, crossed her hands unconsciously, and murmured to herself in the prison cell: " Miss Second Princess, Miss Second Princess..." I really hope she will come.
"Miss Second Princess..." I really hope she will come.
"Miss Second Princess..." I really hope she will come.
Embella didn't know that what she was doing was no different from calling out to the devil under Scarface's guidance. The only difference was that before she was calling out to the devil in general, but now she was calling out to a specific person.
This practice of praying to others at a distance is consistent with "certain rituals". If the object of prayer is just an ordinary creature, of course it will have no effect, but if the object of prayer is not an ordinary creature and has power related to "gods", even if Just a hint of——
Then this is the so-called "certain ceremony", and the name of the ceremony is... [Prayer]! ! !
"Have the three missing children not been found yet?"
It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the church, city guard, and nobles responsible for this matter all gathered in the room. Connie asked everyone seriously.
In addition to Embella and her companions, there was also a boy who was missing. At the child's reminder, the city guards discovered that they were missing in half an hour, which was quite fast.
After discovering that the three children were missing, the forces that gathered together immediately began a carpet search, and soon found Jim Donald's home, but he knew nothing about it and graciously gave way to everyone to search. The final result The clue was broken in the basement of his house.
For this reason, all the people in charge had to get together to discuss countermeasures. They all guessed that the three people were probably the final "materials" of the ceremony.
"Let the residents evacuate to the temple area?"
Connie pulled her hair and sighed. Since she couldn't stop the federation's conspiracy in advance, she had no choice but to cut her losses. Just as the priest in charge of the handover of the temple was about to agree, the door was pushed open and Lorenno appeared in everyone's sight.
The half-elf girl looked at a few people and brought them good news: "I may know where the elf mage and Duchev are. You may not believe it, but I really knew it in my dream."
……
It's back to [-]pm.
Lorenno was adjusting her spiritual energy fluctuations as usual. Suddenly, an inexplicable noise appeared in her calm heart, interrupting her practice.
The half-elf girl opened her eyes and didn't find anything unusual. She just felt confused. When she closed her eyes again to modify the fluctuations, the weird noise interrupted her again.
"Ok?"
Lorenno was very confused and looked around again to confirm that the noise was not in the real environment, so he calmed down again. This time he finally found the source of the noise, which seemed to be coming from a very far away place.
Following a "line" to find the past, the noise became clearer and clearer. Lorenno heard a female voice calling: "Miss Second Princess...Miss Second Princess..."
what's the situation?ghost?
Lorenno felt that this feeling was like plant perception. She seemed to be receiving the perception from something, and it was not like she was using plant perception to command the plant to transmit the perception, but that the thing itself wanted to transmit the perception. give her.
"Sister, what do you think?"
Lorenno asked Aya, and Aya reminded: [Look carefully at what is connecting that line deep in the consciousness. 】
The half-elf girl went deep into her consciousness and soon saw something that provided unknown perception - it was the divine spark connecting that "line".
The divine spark is not a substantive thing. It can be realized in Lorenno's consciousness. That small bright spot has remained stable after the competition, neither increasing nor decreasing, but at this time it happened Changes have occurred and the "fire" continues to shine.
The unexpected change made Lorenno not know what to do for a while, but she already had an idea, so she asked her sister again.
[Let’s go and see. I’m afraid someone we saved has become our “believer”. 】
"it is good."
Chapter 470 Bloody Hunt
The two reached an agreement, and their consciousness continued to extend along the silk thread, immediately connecting to the consciousness of the person praying. The half-elf girl felt emotions called piety and expectation, and part of the memory of the person praying to her also flowed into Lorenno. mind.
'Embella? '
Lorenno moved his consciousness toward the tiny light on the other side of the line, linking up with the skinny girl's consciousness across an unknown distance.
……
"Embella..."
"Uh-huh, b-la."
"Embela!!"
Embela, who bowed his head in prayer, heard a familiar voice in the silence.
Calling, when she opened her eyes, she saw a miracle——
The "Second Princess" was floating in front of her, looking at her tiny existence tenderly.
"two--"
"Shh..."
Lorenno stretched out his finger to signal her to be quiet, and his consciousness tried to get out of the cell, but of course it failed. The half-elf girl currently only appeared through the place Embela saw, and was actually unable to move.
[Embela, just speak in your heart, I can hear you. 】
Even though he knew very little about the secrets of the gods, Lorenno understood the importance of believers and gently reminded the girl. Embela immediately closed his mouth and thought happily in his heart:
[Aren’t I dreaming? Miss Second Princess, you really appeared in front of me! 】
[You are not dreaming, Embela. Your sincere prayers have allowed me to find you. Now tell me, why are you praying to me? Do you need help? 】
Lorenno spread his hands and cupped the girl's cheeks. Embella, who lacked knowledge, did not realize what kind of relationship he and Lorenno had reached. The vegetable-colored cheeks that were held in his hands immediately became hot.
She shrank her neck for fear of getting the half-elf girl's arm dirty, patted her cheeks a few times to calm herself down, and immediately recounted what happened when she was captured so far, and what Duchev and the elf mage had said. .
'Misty forest? '
There is a very large forest to the east of Cardinal City, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round. There are numerous fey creatures in it. There is basically no contact between that area and Cardinal City. Indeed, no one thought that the elf mage would hide. in there.
After Lorenno heard the important news, his frown did not loosen, because the area of the mist forest was so large that he might not be able to find anyone in a day, let alone waiting for them to complete the ceremony. Just wait until they succeed.
The most important thing is that Embela is only in this small demiplane. If she were on the mainland, she could still find the direction with bloody hunting...
and many more!
The half-elf girl suddenly had an idea. The elf mage and Duchev had come in. I wonder if they could hear the sound here?Also, can [Bloody Hunt] be activated using Embella as a medium?
[Embela, please approach the iron fence now and try to see if you can see the child on the other side. 】
After receiving the order, the girl quickly got up and ran to the edge of the fence, shouting to the child opposite her: "Come here quickly! Come here quickly, I have a way to call someone to save us!"
"Really?!" "Are you telling lies?!"...
As soon as Embela finished speaking, the originally peaceful cell suddenly became lively. The children who had been hiding in the dark all stretched out their arms from the bars. The children opposite her also leaned against the iron bars with hope.
Lorenno took this opportunity to concentrate on launching a bloody hunt in an attempt to target the child on the opposite side. The ability was successfully activated, but to the half-elf's expectation, the mark pointed not to the mist forest, but to the demiplane of the elf mage.
After confirming that the bloody hunt could be launched, Lorenno then looked to see if the two guys could hear the noise in the prison. This is what she thought. The ceremony should be arranged near Cardinal City, and the elf mage or Du Chev must be constantly traveling back and forth between the demiplane and the misty forest.
As long as a hunting mark is hung on one of the two people, the half-elf girl can lock them after they go out.
Before the half-elf girl could let the children start making noise, the sound of the door opening echoed in the corridor. The children looked pale and suddenly pulled back their hands, trying to pretend that nothing happened. The tall Duchev walked to Embella's cell. , looking at the poor child quietly.
[Pretend to be angry. 】
Lorenno instructed Embela, and this experienced girl grabbed the iron fence and shouted at Duchev: "Let us out quickly, the city guard will find you soon!!"
"...No, they won't. Sorry, kid, this is a necessary sacrifice."
"Then why don't you sacrifice yourself!"
Duchev spoke to Embela stiffly, Lorenno raised his hands and stared at the northern barbarian. As she activated her ability, the divine sparks in her soul burst out with dazzling blood-colored brilliance, traveling from Cardinal City along the path of Lorenno. The bridge built by Nuo and Embela instantly reached the cage.
hum~~
The slow-perceiving Northland barbarian didn't notice anything wrong. After talking to the skinny girl in front of him, he pressed the button that controlled the sound insulation technology in the prison, completely separating the dungeon from the sounds above, and slowly walked upstairs. .
Embella also ended her performance and huddled in the corner again, waiting for news about the great Second Princess. Her face was full of excitement, and she was very happy that she had helped the Second Princess.
At this time, Lorenno was closing her eyes and paying attention to the moving trajectory of the sign, expecting Duchev to carry the items used in the ritual and leave the demiplane. The result was still what she thought. The ritual to activate Bayer's power required a lot of resources. , Duchev left the demiplane a moment after turning on the sound isolation technique and appeared in the mist forest.
[Embela, you did a great job, I will come to rescue you right away. 】
Lorenno opened his eyes to express encouragement to the expectant girl. When Embela heard the compliment, Cai Huang's face turned unhealthy red.
Lorenno asked the girl who might become her first disciple:
[Embela, when you are rescued, you are willing to become my first believer
, follow me to the capital of the empire? 】
[You will get a better education and life there, and serve me in the future. 】
"I do! Miss Second Princess!"
Embella couldn't suppress the ecstasy in her heart and shouted out. Lorenno had helped her once and saved her once. The girl's heart was already filled with longing for Lorenno. If she could be saved alive this time, I'm afraid The admiration in your heart will immediately turn into fanaticism.
Lorenno nodded slightly and placed his fingertips on the girl's eyebrows with a serious expression. Although she didn't know the process for a god to accept his first believer before becoming a god, she still told Embella her name.
[Very well, I, Lorenno, hereby make a contract with Embela. From now on, you will be my first believer. 】
Chapter 471
【From now on, you will be my believer. 】
