Heir of Prosperity, Flazhol
Zhang Jizu left at the perfect time; shortly after he disappeared, it was time for Cheng Shi and Big Cat to make their prayers.
One minute before the prayer, Cheng Shi called Big Cat again. The two of them checked the time precisely and said the exact same prayer in unison.
This time...
The Prayer Trial (no judgment required [Prosperity]) is now open.
[Matching teammates (1/6)]
[Trials Objective: In a city where the song of "Order" resounds, Order Xin Xin (limited to 1 day)]
As expected, Cheng Shi breathed a heavy sigh of relief upon seeing the [Prosperity] Trials notification appear in his field of vision. Things were finally back to normal.
Match successful (6/6), entering the Trials.
His vision went black as he entered the Trials. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the audience of a magnificent courtroom, and sitting next to him was Hong Lin, who was praying with him.
She was still wearing that sexy animal skin outfit, and her smooth black hair was draped over the seat, almost touching the ground.
I've been reached!
I actually got a spot in the queue!
Cheng Shi's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly smiled.
He stopped paying attention to the Big Cat's condition and quickly surveyed his surroundings. His gaze swept over the solemn-faced Adjudicator on the Judgment Seat and the flag bearing the emblem of the Grand Inquisition hanging high in the courtroom. He raised an eyebrow and nodded thoughtfully.
Hong Lin, standing beside him, was also clearly taken aback. She was initially delighted and was about to say a few words when her expression changed slightly, and her gaze toward Cheng Shi suddenly sharpened.
"Who are you?"
She became more cautious and began to scrutinize Cheng Shi's identity immediately.
Good, you've learned your lesson.
Cheng Shi Shiben also wanted to confirm the other party's identity first, but seeing how wary Big Cat was, some dirty thoughts suddenly popped into his mind uncontrollably.
Hmm? If I were to say "Hee~" to the Big Cat right now, wouldn't she be scared to death?
Thinking of this, he chuckled at first, then shuddered and quickly abandoned the idea.
My "hee~" probably won't scare her to death; on the contrary, it might make her beat me to death.
This is terrifying! Druid and Today's Warrior, no one in this game can stop the Big Cat's fist anymore...
It's best not to tempt fate.
So Cheng Shi didn't waste any more words with her. He casually glanced around, quickly recognizing the faces of his teammates. Finding no familiar faces or enemies, he pointed to himself and then to Big Cat, and said softly:
"Relax, it's me, let's go."
Without hesitation, he activated [Sinner's Redemption], suspending himself and the Big Cat in Golis's resentment.
Afros, you've bothered me again!
Just as the two were swallowed by the dark Void, the knight's angry warning shout echoed throughout the courtroom.
The Adjudicator in the courtroom had a serious expression. Groups of knights began to gather in the courtroom. The citizens in the gallery were shocked and fled in panic. Only four bewildered players were left, looking at each other with shock and incomprehension written all over their faces.
One of them even started trembling.
No, buddy, I only prayed for the simplest Trials, how come I ran into two big shots who just opened up the Void and ran away right away?
Is this even playable anymore?
The four men were completely stunned. Before they could even react, the fully armed Iron Law Knight slowly surrounded them and indiscriminately rounded up all the spectators in the gallery.
"Through screening, no villains who disrupt Order are permitted within the sacred halls of [Order]!"
On the other side.
Cheng Shi woke up again in the church assembly hall of Dolgo D. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Afros, dressed in a black robe, standing in front of the assembly hall, staring intently at him, but his eyes kept trying to dart towards the Big Cat beside him.
Yes, he and the Big Cat have been released.
Afros could sense Cheng Shi's emotions and knew that he had a good relationship with the new lady. So, just as the two of them were being dragged into Golis's resentment, He released them.
Of course, sensing emotions was only one reason; more importantly, He sensed a different aura emanating from this woman, an aura unlike that of Mortals.
In the past, when beings with this aura descended here, they didn't need to go through... this "suffocating" process. They could come and go as they pleased.
But this time...
My brother, you've given me another big surprise!
Afros was shocked. He wanted to take a closer look at Hong Lin, but he was afraid that his gaze would desecrate this "He". So he could only look at Cheng Shi and quietly wait for an answer.
Cheng Shi was completely immune to Afros's gaze; after opening his eyes, he smiled at Afros and then turned to look at the Big Cat beside him.
Hong Lin was completely stunned at this moment.
She never imagined that Cheng Shi would drag her into such a place, let alone that the friend he mentioned would actually be... a rather handsome aristocrat from the old era.
She didn't quite like the aura emanating from the other person; the scent of Filth and Decay was too strong.
Who is he?
Why are they considered "Filth and Decay" Believer?
Hong Lin frowned, suppressing her disgust, and looked around before asking:
"Cheng Shi, where is this place?"
"On the Isle of Hope the Life Era, there is a city-state watched over by [Birth], Dolgo D," Cheng Shi introduced with a smile.
"[Birth]?"
You're saying this is the place of Birth?
Hong Lin was somewhat taken aback. She shook her head and chuckled, "Then why does your friend look like Believer of 'Filth and Decay'?"
What, are you putting on a blasphemous performance here regarding "Birth"?
"No, not really..."
Cheng Shi gave an awkward dry laugh, thinking to himself, "Big sister, please don't always associate me with blasphemy. I'm not always blaspheming them."
"Ahem, let me correct you. I meant 'in the past.' Now, this place has become a prison."
As for who it's used to imprison...
Cheng Shi turned to look at Afros and laughed without any restraint:
"It is this great blasphemer."
Let me introduce you, this is Afros...
"That dual Emissary of [Birth] and [Filth and Decay]!?" Hong Lin's gaze darkened as she interrupted Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi was taken aback. "It seems there's no need for an introduction. So you've heard of Him."
Hong Lin's expression turned slightly serious. She nodded and looked at Afros with a serious look in her eyes, indicating that she not only knew him but also had some understanding of him.
Afros stood in front of the door watching Cheng Shi perform, but after waiting for a long time, Cheng Shi still hadn't introduced the lady. Helpless, he could only sigh and take the initiative to ask.
"It is my honor to have my name known by such a distinguished lady. I wonder if Afros would also have the honor of knowing your name, beautiful lady?"
Afros smiled and bowed slightly to Hong Lin, his demeanor elegant and his manners impeccable, a stark contrast to his previous attitude towards those "Miss Moon" or even Miss Sun.
Cheng Shi glanced at him with great interest, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.
In contrast, Hong Lin, seeing the other party's humble posture, not only didn't greet them with a smile, but slowly suppressed her laughter and said in a slightly serious voice:
"Your only honor is to have become Cheng Shi's friend; otherwise, we might not have anything in common."
"Flazhol, you can call me Flazhol."
"!!!"
Now Afros was even more shocked. He suddenly raised his head and quickly glanced at Hong Lin. The surprise and doubt in his eyes clearly showed that he did not believe Hong Lin's identity.
"No, how could you possibly be the eldest daughter of the Mother of Prosperity? She has already..."
"Dead?" Hong Lin scoffed. "Sorry, I don't know how long you've been locked up here, but I have to say, your information seems to be a bit outdated."
Cheng Shi, didn't you tell Him that the great Flazhol has been revived?
I am Flazhol, the eldest daughter of the Mother of Prosperity, a lucky one saved by Death.
Of course, if you still don't believe me and are unwilling to acknowledge my identity as Flazhol, you can call me by my other name.
[Prosperity]..."
