Chapter 460 [Vibration]

The ruins above the shrine used to hide people's ears are the Early Years of this era -Stage was established by the prosperous Worm Order at the time. At that time, it was the residence of the priests of the order and the believers who came to worship. Later, when the order declined, the ruins were abandoned and turned into what now appears in front of Shade, like the ruins of a large manor.

Time has destroyed most things, except for the fuzzy patterns on a few pillars, which can explain how prosperous this place was back then. The pillars are etched with ancient languages from the third era, and all the letters look like curly insects, which were created by the races mixed with insects in the third era. In the modern era of the sixth era, except for Shade, Not many people understand it.

The entrance to the underground temple is under the floor on the side of the ruins. Opening the downward passage requires a mouthful of spells and keys. The meaning of the spell, translated by Shade, probably means "Praise the great Earthshaker, may your waves be with us".

As for the key to open the entrance, it is not a dead thing, but a worm living in the body of the last priest of the order, the old lady Ilar. The insect was black all over, as long as one-fifth of Shade's arm, and the mouthparts were unusually conspicuous.

It came out of the mouth of old Mrs. Ilar, with hundreds of feet squirming. Not only Shade, but even Miss Avrora couldn't stand this scene. And the cat on Shade's shoulder is even more alert and wants to rush up. It looks like he wants to protect Shade from the insect. Mia thinks that this insect is smaller than it, so there is no danger at all.

In the chanted mantra, the pitch-black worm burrowed into the ground. As the ground trembled, the stone steps connected to the ground appeared under the dark entrance.

[Outlander, you feel "Miracle" and "Blasphemy". ]

Most of Miracle comes from Zhengshen, and Blasphemy only comes from Evil God. Shade is also the first to encounter a god who has both Miracle and Blasphemy.

Looking at the stone steps in front of her, Shade handed Mia into the hands of the maids, because the old lady Ilar also only allowed Shade and Miss Avrora to enter the temple.

It took a while to let the inside air out before going up the stairs. The black worm descended along the wall and lit the kerosene lamps on both sides of the stairs for everyone in advance, and also illuminated a large number of murals involving terrifying living sacrifices and religious criminal law on both sides of the stairs.

Shade confirmed once again that although the [Earth Shaking Worm] is gone, this old god is a real Evil God.

Probably around the time when this place was built, the order had already declined, so the underground shrine was not the kind of large-scale building that Shade imagined.

The stone steps are not long, and at the end is the temple with the holy emblem and the Divine Idol. The lights are dim, and the underground space is a bit narrow and a bit shabby. There is a dark room on each side of the temple, a library used to store the religious books, and a dark room for rest.

It seems that all churches pay more attention to the holy emblem than the Divine Idol, so the Divine Idol, which represents the image of [Earth Shaking Worm] in the material world, is simply placed on the high platform, and the Shade looks at it. At a glance, it felt as if there were dozens of Insects crawling around on the back of the holy emblem, which was hung in the most conspicuous position of the temple.

The holy emblem is made of stone and is generally round. The pattern of the holy emblem is a worm entrenched in it. Apart from filling some rune in the gap, this simple and simple holy emblem has a feeling of being unsteady under the feet just by looking at it.

Old Mrs. Ilar opened her mouth to swallow the dark worm, and then slowly lit the candles here, Shade and Demonness glanced around. Before Shade came here, he actually had some expectations, expecting something like divinity here, but unfortunately it didn't.

But there must be other divinities in the material world. Rather than face Evil God, Shade prefers to look for traces of divinity from myths and legends. Although as long as there is no more trouble, his current divinity is enough to use the fourth ring, but he can't really start to search after the fourth ring.

After lighting the candle, the old man prayed for a long time on the one-knee kneels on the cushion under the holy emblem, and then led Shade up the high platform to the front of Divine Idol.

The quaint Divine Idol, which has experienced many vicissitudes of life and witnessed several eras, is not big, probably similar to an ordinary plaster bust. As Shade got closer, he immediately felt the more and more intense Blasphemy elements, and the illusion that the ground was shaking became more and more obvious.

The reason why I think this is an illusion is because if there is an earthquake, the flames of those candles are impossible so steady.

One of the common sense of ring warlock is to never approach the Divine Idol, a strange god. Even if you want to gain knowledge, you must confirm the consequences and write a suicide note before approaching.

But this time Miss Avrora was by her side, and Shade didn't hesitate. Seeing the old lady Ilar kneeling on the cushion under the Divine Idol and praying in a low voice again, he followed a step.

His eyes quickly swept across the Divine Idol, and the pimples on the surface of the worm's body were not rune decorations, but human faces distorted by pain. When Shade saw them, those faces actually seemed to come alive, wriggling to express their pain, and even passing on the pain they experienced to Shade.

But in the blink of an eye, the illusion disappeared. The impact of this scene, coupled with the influence of Evil God Divine Idol itself, made Shade immediately close his eyes and bow his head.

This time is different from the Divine Idol of [Vampire Duke Laurel]. This one Divine Idol is the sacred relic of the sect and is still being sacrificed to this day. Its influence on mortals is far greater than the former.

He felt someone behind him:
"didn't expect your spirit strength to be so strong, you're so close, you can look up at Divine Idol."

It's Miss Avrora, who also came over.

"What do the hideous faces on the surface of Divine Idol represent?"

Shade wanted to take a break and restore his best mental state before looking directly at Divine Idol Feel Blasphemy.

Miss Avrolla did not care about the feelings of the old lady Ilar at all, smiled and explained:

"In ancient times, in order to quell the so-called anger of the earth, the old god [Earth Shaking Worm] ] believers will hold live sacrifices and sacrifice their blood and souls to the gods to obtain peace. It is said that the souls of those who have been sacrificed will be swallowed by the old gods and permanently trapped in the shell of the gods , being crushed, worn down and tormented day and night."

"It's their honor."

The old man who bowed his head in prayer suddenly said, although she didn't look up, Shade thought she should Still the kind expression.

Miss Avrolla smiled again, instead of refuting, she asked:

"Shade, haven't you been curious? Miracle and Blasphemy, why use them? Human’s sense of good and evil?”

“I thought about it too, but I can’t figure it out. Probably, the distinction between Evil God and good gods just happens to be consistent with good and evil, but in fact Miracle and Blasphemy’s difference The division is due to other reasons."

"Yes, that's why there is a god who has Miracle and also has Blasphemy. There was a discussion about this within the Council, and we think Miracle is the one who should be Existing, Blasphemy seems to be the opposite, but is actually a derivative of Miracle."

Miss Avrolla said, she extended the hand behind Shade and grabbed Shade's right hand:
" I can't explain this to you better, it's only up to you to find out. Feel it, Shade, I'm here to help you feel the power of the old god. If the power you gain has to do with the earth and not the shaking , I think I have to think of something else."

Her fingers pass through Shade's, pushing Shade's hand forward. Of course Shade knew this was wrong, but with the Divine Idol right in front of him, he didn't have time to say no.

A strange radiance spread from Miss Avrolla, and that radiance passed to Shade through her arm. Behind the two, the life rings of the two-ring warlock and the twelve-ring warlock appeared in the steam mist, and the cross-section was a dodecagon-shaped brass wheel ring, which seemed to help the plane wheel ring to rotate:

"Shade, even Demoness, can't do this often, please feel the power carefully."

So the two of them pressed their hands against the surface of Divine Idol together.

The palm of the hand touched the Divine Idol, and Shade didn't care about the cold feeling and the slight tingling as if bitten by an insect. He stared at Divine Idol, and what he really cared about was that the stone worm in front of him seemed to have really come alive in this brief moment, and the worm's body wriggled, making the hand clinging to the Divine Idol feel the roughness of the stone surface.

Shade's eyes began to bleed, but he also felt the power of the tremor and the terrifying might of the Great One remaining here.

The body wanted to tremble, but the Demones behind him fixed Shade's hand. In the strange brilliance of Demoness, the large stone worm terrifying mouthparts directly bit Shade's hand. Shade felt as though something had exploded in his head while the unreal pain came on.

He seemed to see the bloody sacrifices of the primordial tribes in the ancient times, as if he saw the terrifying worm populations wandering in the depths of the earth, as if he had traveled through several epochs. When the worm devoured something in the quivering and weeping earth.

In this chaotic hallucination, a voice finally appeared in my ears:
[You have come into contact with the Divine Idol of the old god "Earth Shaking Worm". ]

[Wandering in the depths of the endless land, shaking the land, drawing disaster and Annihilation Power. In the twilight of the old days, in the frenzy, He left voluntarily and returned that mighty power to the earth. ]

[You listened to the story of the old god "Earth Shaking Worm", and you learned about Blasphemy of the old god "Earth Shaking Worm". ]

Shade's back Shade and Miss Avrora's back, the life ring of the twelve-ring warlock disappeared, and the life ring belonging to the second-ring warlock was turning rapidly. Both the old man and the Demoness turned their heads to look, and the dazzling four-color aura that had already lit up seemed as if Shade was using Mystic Art, but this was just the normal state of Shade's spirit rune.

The ground was shaking, and this time it was a real small earthquake. Along with this tremor, silver's aura gathered on the surface of the life ring. The bell rang, the whistle sounded, and the dazzling silver aura directly illuminated the entire underground temple space.

This is the first time anyone has seen Shade engraving spirit rune up close, but the old man in the low ring warlock thought this scene was magical, but Demoness frowned in surprise.

Even if the high ring warlock is inscribed with spirit rune, there should be no such movement. After all, the acquisition of spirit rune is only a matter of the individual ring warlock, and there is no reason to affect the environment so strongly.

[Outlander, you have engraved silver Blasphemy spirit rune - shake. ]

The rapidly rotating life ring gradually slowed down, and all the auras converged on the surface of the life ring, finally forming a new rune. The flickering aura gradually calmed down, until it remained almost the same level as [Tree Kiss] [Greed].

"Miss Avrolla, it's all right."

Shade took a deep breath and moved his hands from the Divine Idol. The Divine Idol remained in its original state, and the scene of insect swallowing Shade's arm just now was really just an illusion.

It's just that there is still a tingling sensation in the arm. After receiving the huge information and feeling the power of the gods up close, Shade stumbled back a step, feeling something soft hit his back. With a flushed face, he was embarrassed to immediately look back at his life ring, but he had already felt the power.

Demoness withdrew the surprised expression, chuckled softly, and retracted the slender fingers from Shade's fingers. Shade slowly put out a breath and looked away from the Divine Idol in front of him, who was putting a lot of pressure on him. Only then did he realize that unconsciously, his entire back was soaked through.

"Did there be an earthquake just now?"

He asked softly, a little weakly, half of it was pretending, half of it was really not very good.

"A very slight earthquake."

Demoness with long brown wavy hair said, and looked suspiciously towards Shade's profile:

"Shade , don't tell me, the spirit rune you got is [Earthquake]."

"No, it's [Shock]. This trip achieved its goal."

Shade said , and sighed softly:

"Miss Avrolla, you are really helpful this time."

"You don't have to be so polite, I just paid for your travel expenses."

Demoness said relaxedly, looked at Shade, and looked towards that still standing there quietly. Divine Idol. The gods have already left, but Divine Idol is still terrifying:
"Okay, let's go back."

She also doesn't want to comment too much on this place, and she doesn't want to face Evil God Divine Idol too much . Even Demoness is still mortal.

Therefore, this short journey ended smoothly.
