Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 246 Dependents

Adelina kept breathing slowly and evenly, and at the same time tried to put on a calm and indifferent expression, in order to prevent herself from showing timidity in front of the unknown god and two other believers, so that she could be completely confident in the following conversation. Fall into passivity.

However, Se Lian across from her just glanced at her and couldn't help but reveal an imperceptible smile - because no matter how hard she tried to hide it, Adelina's legs were tightly together and her hands were placed squarely on her knees. , and her waist as straight and stiff as a flagpole fully prove that the little girl's heart is far less peaceful than her appearance.

This is normal, she thought.

For Serian herself, the shock faced by Topps and this strange girl was still far worse than what she had experienced before. At least they had made sufficient preparations for their meeting in the past few days, but she was unprepared back then. He was directly summoned into this starry sky by his master. It would be easy for ordinary mages with short knowledge to turn their consciousness into a madman under a high-intensity impact.

Tops on the other side showed a completely different state. Ever since he figured out the current situation, he had been staring at Lucia with his two big eyes, as if he wanted to see through the true face under that empty face. Then he used the sharpest words to denounce the evil deeds of the evil god.

However, Lucia is still very satisfied with the situation in front of him. For him, as long as he can safely summon these three people to his conference table at the same time in the name of the Eternal Dragon, the plan will be 100% successful. Ninety.

This is like those salesmen who broke their legs in the previous life. The most difficult step is actually to knock on the customer's door and let them distinguish you from the scammers with malicious intentions, so as to establish the most basic basis for dialogue. , as for the negotiation of specific terms on the final negotiation table, it can be regarded as the final sprint before the finish line.

"I don't like to tell some pretentious riddles, and I don't want to imitate some stupid people and design a brainwashing process that forces believers to remain absolutely loyal-" Lucia said, "Especially when we haven't established enough trust with each other yet. On the premise of trust.”

"Miss Adelina, Mr. Tops, I invite you to join the Taboo Research Society and become a believer as loyal to me as Ms. Serian. This is the opportunity I mentioned to you before. As a reward, I will also Help you achieve your lifelong long-cherished wish.”

Adelina's expression changed and she immediately said: "Please forgive me for my offense. From the day I was born until my death, my faith will always be the Black Moon Goddess and the other two moon goddesses. No existence can Make me betray."

Ser Lian's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this. There are not many people who can so firmly claim that they belong to the Black Moon Faith in this era. Apart from a few noble families with long bloodlines in the Kaliya Dynasty, she has only met Ser Li. There are a small number of old-school mages who adhere to ancient magical traditions, but this girl is definitely not one of those two.

Combined with her strange attire and pale skin, could it be that she comes from the depths of the earth sealed by Esti, the eternal city that only exists in legends?

"It sounds like you have some misunderstandings of the word 'believer' in my mouth," Lucia's expression did not change at all, still smiling gently, "I neither need your offerings nor worship, nor do I need your support or worship." I need you to abandon your past beliefs and do something unfavorable to the old master - you can confess my request to you to the goddess in any Black Moon Temple. Even in the near future, I can guarantee that you will confess to her face to face. State it all.”

Adelina hesitated for a moment and said: "What happened to the Mother Goddess after the Forbidden War? Can you tell me now?" Lucia paused for a moment, leaned back on the chair, and looked back at the sky. The black moon in the depths turned to look at Adelina and said, "Look carefully there and tell me what you see."

Adelina turned her somewhat stiff neck and cast her gaze to the right side of the starry sky. When she first came in, she noticed the dark full moon hanging high in the sky, but she just thought it was the "Eternal Dragon" from the Kingdom of God. I didn't think deeply about the fantasy for a while.

However, at this moment when she really projected her mental power away, she was suddenly shocked to realize that the aura emitted by the black moon was exactly the same as the Mother Goddess - no, it should be said that it was the Mother Goddess herself!

You know, in the thousands of years since the end of the Forbidden War, they have been unable to regain contact with the Mother Goddess for a long time. They once faced the dilemma of bloodline decline, magic power dropped significantly, and all kinds of moon magic failed. Until the previous pope proposed to enrich themselves. The plan to create an "artificial black moon" by using special materials containing magical power to simulate the fluctuations of the Mother Goddess' power barely curbed the entire family's degeneration.

But what is fake is fake after all, even though they have used a variety of rare metals that have a high affinity with the Black Moon's divine power, and spent nearly half of the three eternal cities' resources to create three artificial Black Moons, and more than a hundred high The high-level priests supplemented the magical rituals day and night, and the final result was only three cold dead objects. The blessing effect on the Knox people was not even one-third of the previous one.

But this time, it was like responding to the call of her relatives. The moment Adelina's spiritual power reached the Black Moon, dozens of times more divine power came back to her!

For the first time in her life, Adelina was bathed in the grace of the Mother Goddess. The miracle recorded in the church's secret book that disappeared during the Forbidden War actually blessed the people of the night again a thousand years later. On the descendants!

She felt that the magic power in her body was rapidly activating and growing, and her blood, meridians, and bones cheered silently. There is no doubt that this is the supreme grace bestowed by the Moon God on her most loyal relatives, and also on them, the people of the night. The resonance of blood can only be generated when meeting the deity at close range!

"The Mother Goddess. She is really the Mother Goddess!"

Adelina excitedly left her seat and knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily to the black moon at the end of the sky, and then turned to the full moon and dark moon at the other end to pay the same tribute.

"What you saw may be an illusion - but I can assure you that this is the only way to get in touch with the three moon gods in the entire junction. You should also feel that their condition is not good."

Adelina's body trembled, and when she looked at Lucia again, the vigilance in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by deep awe and hope.

"Great Eternal Dragon," she prayed humbly, "As long as you can revive the Mother Goddess, I am willing to dedicate everything to you, including my life."
