Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2222 The King of Crusade (Part 7)
That statement was indeed true: great faith is contagious.

Although the change was so small as to be negligible, it was still easy for the person in question to determine what had happened—leeches were growing on their body.

Witnessing the great brilliance emanating from the person before me, I felt that the brilliance was even being transmitted to me.

Not just an abstract artist, but a master of abstract art.

What seemed like an act of asceticism could actually trigger such a change, giving Fu Qian a deeper understanding of the power of the "Great Court".

Although there was a reason for adjusting to the second-order state, even a little "glory" could have such an impact.

The power of that "lone king" is clearly extraordinary in this home arena.

"Very good, very good... I saw it too, I saw it too..."

Meanwhile, Leech's excitement intensified because of Fu Qian's approval.

His prominent Adam's apple resembled a flattened bell, vibrating and producing a sound that made one's eardrums ache.

However, it is clear that his later words were no longer a conversation with Fu Qian, but rather a display of self-admiration.

Within the trembling ellipses, the leech had even ripped off its hood, extending a tongue that appeared to be burning with internal heat, greedily licking its own body, or more accurately, the leeches on it.

So much so that in the blink of an eye, the latter's back looked even more shiny and translucent.

See, there really is a difference between acting and genuine emotion.

Before paying, I certainly didn't intend to imitate him, and I also moistened the back of my hand with saliva.

However, this did not stop him from praising the leech's performance.

While giving a positive review, the comparison before payment is naturally with the group member who tried to survive but ultimately ended up with nothing.

Compared to the hesitation the latter showed when sucking his finger, the expression of the person in front of him was on a completely different level of captivating power.

It cannot be described by simple words like reverence and excitement, much less attempted to elaborate upon it.

……

Everyone seemed quite envious.

While admiring the exchange, Fu Qian glanced around, and this brief interaction undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.

Most of the attention was focused on the leech, as such a physical characteristic seemed quite rare.

"Thanks for the advice."

Although the skin on the back of his hand was becoming more active, Fu Qian had no intention of showing off. He quietly said goodbye to the leech brother who was fully engaged in the task, and then set off on his journey again.

Even the unusual symptoms on his body were not treated in a hurry.

Keep your thinking clear. Don't forget one of the previous action strategies: first find the lone king and wait for him to come to you.

What's wrong with letting the latter's radiance shine on you slightly, increasing your chances of locating Him?

And that's only one of the reasons. As for the second reason—

He walked past a bystander and brushed past a shop window.

It appears to be a very small street-front shop, and as mentioned before, it is full of signs of zero-dollar purchases, with almost nothing left at a glance.

However, out of the corner of my eye, I could vaguely see a burlap doll lying on its side in a corner.

Perhaps it was because it was so ugly that even members of the zero-yuan purchase group were not interested.

It has no eyes, only a mouth sewn out with a thick thread, and its head isn't even round.

Yes, it's the same style I've seen more than once.

Theoretically speaking, it belongs to the second tier of the Night Watchers and is an exclusive technique of the Needle Witch, Corin.

...Is this so-called "Lone King" really that influential? The top three extraordinary organizations are actually involved?
The moment he realized his discovery, although he remained outwardly composed, Fu Qian inwardly marveled at it.

It's not just a contest between the original council and the reborn club; even the Night Watchers are involved.
Before payment, I don't believe in any purely coincidental claims, even though the location was chosen very naturally and cleverly used the product label as a cover.

But honestly, I don't think any normal human would think of making and selling such an ugly toy.

This sudden change has undoubtedly made the situation far more complicated than ever before.

The most obvious conclusion is that Lord Needle Witch, who has yet to be seen, has also come to this place for unknown reasons.

Moreover, the burlap doll's appearance there was by no means a coincidence.

Yuan Shan once mentioned that, due to the special nature of her abilities, Ke Lin is one of the few characters who excels at spatial crossing.

He had even witnessed it firsthand before.

Therefore, that doll was very likely sent to investigate because it sensed my arrival.

The Night Watchers are on the move and have a very good grasp of the area.

As a result, it reacted faster than its old rival, the original council.

But this is only the most superficial and intuitive judgment. Don't forget what we just said: the Needle Witch seems to be flirting with the Native Council.

So it's quite clear that there's another possibility: this is a cross-team collaboration.

The original council and the conservative faction within the Night Elf acted together, leaving him with no chance to try and reap the benefits.

This is only the second layer.

Given the sensitivity of the role I am currently playing, there are simply too many possible motives.

Will they realize that they have actually arrived at the original council?
However, knowing full well that he was an imposter, he used this method to impersonate a Night Watcher, to intimidate and observe their reaction...

In short, the atmosphere quickly became lively even before we arrived at our destination.

My every move is already affecting the situation—that's wonderful.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Qian continued walking towards the interview venue.

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror.

Given the peculiar nature of his mental state, Lord Ariel, in a way, embodies the ultimate meaning of this statement.

Now it's my turn to interpret it.

What awaits in that place is truly something to look forward to.

……

It's definitely something to look forward to.

In the second half of the journey, no more enthusiasts came out to show themselves, although the intense atmosphere only increased.

Even though he still didn't know much about "The Lone King," Fu Qian still felt that wherever he went, "His" radiance seemed to materialize, becoming the reason for everything's existence.

If there's any corner that's not illuminated, it's probably right in front of us—

I stopped and looked at the familiar building, the place where my "dream" began.

Yes, it really was a job interview scene back then.

As it turns out, "penetrating the illusion" does indeed mean leaving the no-man's land and arriving in the real world.

It even seems to prove that choosing this place as my first destination was the right thing to do.

The door was still open, and the not-so-large waiting room was clearly empty.

But right in front of the entrance, a familiar burlap doll, suspended from the ceiling by a red thread, was slowly spinning and swaying in the wind.
