The stars are dim and the moon is hidden.
It was an extremely dark night. Even in the church of Radiance, the candlelight flickered and seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
Twelve strange magic circles painted with pigments exuding a blue halo surround the church.
Li Wen is placing the sacrifices one by one in the center of the array according to the predetermined directions.
Those rebellious and profane forces are sealed in something common.
For example, the "light after death" is sealed in a piece of gray and dim ice; the "rusty iron crown" is a dagger stuck on a thorn; the "starting point of the circle" is a poisonous snake with its head and tail nailed together...
Pastor Mog was watching from the side, his expression uncertain. These offerings really fit the mentor's style.
Great lunatic - this should be the conclusion that everyone who has seen the true face of Siswell can unanimously draw.
After all the sacrifices were returned, Li Wen walked into the church alone.
She placed "The Final Codex" in the "The Birth Ceremony of Dawn and Dusk" circle in the center, and then backed up to the door.
An inexplicable force came quietly, and "The Final Codex" floated silently. The girl under the tree on the cover of the book quietly stood up and pointed upward.
Li Wen picked up the bronze mirror at the door. What was supposed to reflect her was a huge lifelike tree. She took out Bone-Gnawing Short Sword and pierced the bronze mirror directly.
The surface of the bronze mirror shattered into pieces like ice or glass, and the trees in the mirror also withered and decayed silently.
Li Wen Put down the mirror and walk to the wall on the left.
Under the corner is a silver cup filled with red fruit wine.
She knelt down on one knee and raised the silver cup. The fruit wine was flush with the rim of the cup, but there was no overflow. The rich fruit aroma and mellow wine taste came from the cup. Li Wen Close your eyes and drink the fruit wine.
What you taste at first is a slightly astringent sweet and sour taste, but when the fruit wine enters your throat, it turns into a salty and rusty smell, just like blood.
Li Wen resisted the desire to vomit and drank all the liquid in the silver cup.
The sound of pattering rain suddenly reached my ears. It was just a sound at first, but when the sound of rain gradually became louder, Li Wen felt the cold and smelly rain falling on her body, soaking her whole body in an instant.
She couldn't open her eyes, so she could only calm down and listen.
The sound of rain was mixed with shouts.
Not just shouting, but also scolding, wailing, crying, heart-rending roars...
It seems that a tragic disaster is happening around Li Wen.
But soon, it all disappeared like the wind, leaving no trace.
Li Wen looked at the silver cup in his hand, and there was no sign of getting wet on his body. She thought that the scene just now was probably a recurrence of the legendary scene.
It is said that a certain city in Kanan once encountered an unprecedented famine. When people in the entire city were about to starve to death, a believer of Radiance Cult passed by. He couldn't bear to see everyone die of hunger, so he cut off the flesh, took the blood, and distributed it to everyone. The flesh and blood immediately turned into bread, dried meat, and wine.
The people in the city were saved as a result, and the believers who shared flesh and blood with everyone were canonized as saints. This story was recorded in "Radiance's Grace", and even the process of sharing bread and wine after church came from this.
Li Wen quickly came to her senses and walked towards the wall on the left again.
This is directly behind the altar, where a golden basin is placed upside down.
There is no pure gold basin in Ake Town. This one is gold-plated, but it does not affect its function. After all, it is a symbol.
Li Wen picked up the golden basin and placed it right on the altar. Water began to flow out of the empty golden basin. The water was transparent, pure and free of impurities, even better than the Holy Water produced by the church.
But Li Wen saw a different picture in this pure and pure water.
It was scarlet at first, but when the screen kept zooming out, Li Wen realized that it was a shirt stained red by blood. A man dressed as an aristocrat was sitting on a luxurious chair, with a sharp knife stuck in his chest, and blood kept pouring out from the wound.
The scene in the water continued to zoom out, and more people appeared in it, some of which were even people Li Wen knew, such as Moriah, the Firstborn of the Temple, the Wild Mage duo, Duwei people Old Sem...
They gathered in front of a long table, which seemed to be the main hall of a certain castle. A luxurious dinner seemed to be about to be held or was being held.
When the scene was about to end, Li Wen saw himself. She stood at the door of the hall, the Emerald Star Cloak draped on her body emitting an eerie light, and a dark raven hovering above her head.
Li Wen looked at his mouth opening and closing, as if he was saying something, or reciting a mantra before casting a spell.
The picture ends here, the pure and pure water in the basin evaporates instantly and disappears without a trace.
Is this a prophecy?
Li Wen raised his eyebrows, thinking about the scene he had seen before.
First of all, it can be determined that what is shown in the picture should be what will happen at a certain time in the future, that is, the picture of the future.
But what exactly does it mean? Every prediction has its meaning.
But Li Wen cannot understand what will happen in the future shown by the golden basin.
Who was the nobleman who was assassinated? What was the purpose of that dinner party? Why did she appear there? Why are Moria and the others there again? Who was the assassin?
There were too many things that were difficult to confirm. Li Wen quickly interrupted his thoughts and focused his energy back on the ceremony.
She came to the wall where the mistletoe stood.
Pick up the candle next to you and Ignite the bundle of dried mistletoe.
The curls of green smoke rose, and this time there were no weird prophecies, hallucinations, or auditory hallucinations, and nothing happened.
Li Wen only smelled an extremely indifferent and pleasant fragrance.
All that's left is the last step - chanting Eternal Poem of the Ancient Dusk, Grelion's First Admonition.
Li Wen walked to the center of the promotion circle and picked up the floating "The Final Codex".
The ancient poems and advice automatically came to mind, and Li Wen uncontrollably read these contents word for word in a strange language.
Rather than reciting, it is more like singing a certain ballad. This strange language has a special charm and rhythm.
There was a crack in the ceiling of the church, like a closed eyelid quietly opening, and a hole in the shape of an eye pupil appeared on the top of the church.
Outside the hollow was a penetrating darkness, without starlight or moon.
Rumbling thunder came from the distant sky, and a heavy rain seemed to be coming in this dark night.
But what came first was not rain, but a clear liquid with a hint of yellow in it.
The liquid fell continuously on Li Wen like raindrops, and quickly condensed. Li Wen is like a powerless insect, wrapped in thick "resin" and turned into amber.
Her consciousness and thoughts were frozen instantly, as if time had stood still.
And in this, an amazing transformation is about to come.
Outside the church, the sacrifices in the twelve magic circles were shattered into pieces. Pastor Mog raised his head and looked at Sky Dome in fear.
The night sky should have been dark and lightless, but amber-colored dusk enveloped the sky.
Great fear sprouted in his heart, and then grew into a towering tree.
She must be stopped!
At this time, there was only one voice echoing in the pastor's mind.
His pupils became scarlet and sharp, burning like purgatory fire. In his eyes, Candle Sun Church was surrounded by red and everlasting flames.
The next moment, the scene in his eyes was projected into reality.
The entire church was in flames.
