Li Wen felt a strong sense of danger as soon as she landed. A certain cold aura swept over her, and a huge force hit her from behind. Li Wen, who was caught off guard, could only roll over to remove the remaining impact.
Life remaining is 71%.
This sneak attack dealt 29% damage to Li Wen. If Emerald Star Cloak itself had a certain defense, Li Wen's health would have dropped below 60%.
This is a dark basement, and the attacker may have heard the noise and prepared to attack.
She glanced at the attacker, a bald man with dark skin and tattoos on his face. His eyes were fierce, he spoke a strange language, and in his hand was a scarlet eyeball with a crack in the middle.
The other party spoke the language of Earthsea, sometimes also called the language of Jabah people. It was the junction of the east and west of the inner continent. It was a neutral territory with many religions and mixed beliefs. It was not uncommon to find organizations that were feared by everyone, such as churches that served darkness or corruption.
It is said that Canaan can be reached by crossing the Earth Sea, so the church of Umbral Lineage is particularly active there.
Li Wen raised the dagger and said in proficient Earthsea language, "Take me to see your speaker and tell him, who knows Radiance that there is deep darkness underneath."
"Dark Dawn?" The bald man's ferociousness subsided slightly, but the vigilance in his eyes remained, "Have you found the goods?"
"I will tell you the details of the goods, not you. Or... are you qualified to represent all of you?"
The opponent hesitated and turned blue. It seemed that Li Wen was right. After all, if he was really a person, he would not be sent to guard the door.
Believers who have only learned some extraordinary and secret knowledge from the elders in the church and have not embarked on the path can only use the treasures in their hands to try to make sneak attacks. If they really confront extraordinary people from other forces head-on, they will definitely be defeated.
So facing Bone-Gnawing Short Sword, which was obviously not an ordinary weapon in the hands of Li Wen, the bald man with tattoos surrendered immediately. Since he is the person taking over Dark Dawn, it is hard for the higher-ups to blame him for his dereliction of duty.
"I will... take you... the weapon, put it down..." At this time, the other party started to say lame Terran Language.
Li Wen naturally ignored him and directly signaled him to lead the way.
These Moon Worshippers people did not want to establish a long-term stronghold in Ake Town. The basement under this broken house was not big, but there was another layer below one. The bald man with tattoos did not know what he had done and opened another secret door. There was a strong man with tattoos all over his body guarding behind the secret door. The strong man just glanced at the two of them, then stepped aside without saying anything.
In this way, Li Wen came to the second floor of the basement of the broken house, and here, an old man wearing a black robe and his eyes wrapped with white cloth had been waiting here.
He was sitting in the corner with the deepest shadow, muttering ancient mantras and secrets about the night. The hair of the skinny and malnourished black cat at his feet was exploding, and his terrifying pupils were staring straight at Li Wen.
The bald man with tattoos left unknowingly. The old man blindfolded with white cloth coughed dryly, and then asked in fluent Terran Language: "Where is the goods?"
It seems that he knows everything about what happened and the conversation above.
"That Fire Mage was cornered and used it himself."
The old man sighed.
"Three of our compatriots died before we could transport it across the border." He did not blame anyone, he was just stating the facts.
Li Wen blinked, and she seemed to have guessed which specific church this group of Moon Worshippers belonged to. The main members are Terran, who is blindfolded with white cloth, raises familiars, and the church members refer to each other as brothers. There is only one deep dark church that meets all the characteristics, and that is Order of the Exalted Gift who serves Moon Phase Twin Gods and Dreadful Death Witch.
Their believers firmly believe that they are the great descendants of the Forgotten Kingdom, so they call their fellow believers compatriots and cover their eyes with white cloth, because the people of the Forgotten Kingdom cannot look directly at the light and darkness of Mortal World, otherwise they will be contaminated.
The most active areas of this sect, apart from Earthsea, are Arthur's neighboring countries, Kingdom of Iris "Roland", who has had countless wars with Arthur. The famous Hedge Wood Battle in recent years was fought between Arthur and Roland.
In other words, these Order of the Exalted Gift people are trying to transport Moonlight Potion from Roland to Arthur. What are they trying to do?
Li Wen is difficult to understand.
"Since the potion is lost, Forgotten Spirit Casket can only be handed over to you later."
Forgotten Spirit Casket?
Li Wen's heart skipped a beat, that was Order of the Exalted Gift's mysterious treasure that controlled demons. It was said that they could use the spirit hood to turn any living being into a demon.
Depravity is one of the paths of deep darkness. Almost all Umbral Lineage church associations, and even unrelated organizations or characters, use methods to drive demons or summon familiars, and even rituals to transform life into demons are not uncommon.
But Forgotten Spirit Casket is one of the very few treasures that can directly turn any living being into a demon.
Dark Dawn What do you want this for? Sublime Rite Why should I hand over the treasure of my church? The conspiracy between these two church associations is indeed not simple.
Li Wen Suppressed her curiosity, she said directly, "That doesn't matter, there is one more important thing that I want to trouble you with. This is related to the success, failure, honor and disgrace of our and even your plans."
The blindfolded old man didn't ask deeply, and just looked indifferent to Li Wen's words. "As long as it's a simple effort."
"We are preparing a ritual sacrifice, which requires the use of the light after death, First Whisper of the Dead, Blind Knowledge, Brilliant Darkness, Closed Eyeball, the rusty iron crown, Unaspiring Flesh, Forge of Destruction, the starting point of the circle, Fallen True Spirit, Real Delusion, Shattered Amber, these twelve materials, I hope it can be done with your hands."
Order of the Exalted Gift Although the old man was not stunned, he was also stunned. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything for a while.
What the hell is this?
"What a blasphemy..." Even Elder Priest of Sublime Rite, who controlled his familiar and killed countless lives, said this subconsciously.
The twelve materials requested by Li Wen are not too precious or difficult to obtain... well, they are just difficult to obtain, but the most important thing is that these materials represent a certain pillar god and at the same time blaspheme their symbols.
What kind of terrifying ritual requires the use of these twelve materials? He is truly Dark Dawn. Isn't his madness much scarier than some Radiance lunatic?
This Elder Priest of Sublime Rite secretly decided that when the final cooperation is over, they will have nothing to do with Dark Dawn.
"Our people will hand over the things to you at the first quarter of midnight." After thinking for a long time, he agreed.
These materials are not specific things, but some abstract concepts. To obtain these, mortals can only passively obtain them through the influence of Gods. Skilled extraordinary beings will perform rituals to create them, and more powerful beings will go to the residence of Gods to find them directly.
And it just so happens that he is a being powerful enough to use his familiar to travel to a certain lofty residence.
