Chapter 673 The truth about the great miracle

A few days later, Eden was distributing porridge as usual in the lower town in the name of Althea.

Compared with the upper city, the order in the lower city is undoubtedly much more chaotic, not only because it is full of ghosts and monsters, but also because the houses here are crowded and intertwined, and the streets are also curved. If you are not familiar with the road conditions here, you will definitely get lost.

Eden still remembers the scene of distributing food on the first day he came here. At first, people didn't believe that there would be such a good thing, and everyone stared at Eden and others with fear and vigilance. But soon Later, as the unbearable poor people received food here, other civilians in Xiacheng District were immediately mobilized. With the first person to eat crabs, how would subsequent people flock to eat crabs? You can imagine.

With the distribution of food, the Xiacheng District became noisy, and many poor people gathered here. Many of them fell into idleness or hunger and cold during the slack season. Contrary to people's common sense, the more and more poor people gathered here. The richer the city, the more such poor people there are, while the poorer the city, the fewer such poor people there are.

In Xiacheng District, everywhere is filled with illegal and disorderly activities such as robbery, theft, adultery, and even murder. Quarrels occur all the time. The chaos in Xiacheng District allows many people to sneak around and evade legal sanctions. .

In fact, in the chaotic downtown area, the law does not work much of the time.

Having said that, although almost everyone in Xiacheng District breaks the law and commits crimes to some extent, there are actually very few people who actually make a living by breaking the law and committing crimes. Most people still retain simple moral values. Whoever treats them well will They praised and welcomed whomever they wanted, just like when they were distributing food, the chaotic streets were full of voices applauding and praising Althea desperately.

Of course, they didn't just applaud and praise Althea, they also praised people like Eden who personally delivered food to them.

After all the food was distributed, Eden waved to the crowd, and many people stood up and cheered.

After the cheers, a thin human pushed through the crowd and walked over.

Eden lowered his head and recognized this as one of his informants.

The informant gestured to Eden to go to some remote corner.

Eden nodded and followed.

....................................

"I found the person you were talking about."

After reaching the corner, the informant whispered.

"Who...did you say..."

Eden slowly asked a name:

"William?"

The informant nodded heavily.

"Correct!"

The informant paused and continued to explain the situation.

"However, when we found him, he had been dead for many days, and he was still wearing the monk's robe of your true religion. If it weren't for these clothes, we wouldn't have thought it was him."

Eden's lips opened slightly and he said in surprise:

"he died?"

The informant nodded again,

"I can take you to see it. The body is still there and no one has touched it."

Eden suppressed the surprise on his face, took out some silver coins from his arms, and put them in the informant's hand.

The latter happily accepted it, uttered a few words of praise, and without delay, immediately led Eden towards the place he said.

.......................................

After turning left and right, Eden followed the informant and came to a small building. This building only had two floors and was located in a remote alley. From a distance, it looked like there were only three or four rooms.

The informant walked at the front and pushed open the wooden door for Eden. From the style of the door lock, it could be seen that the door was broken open by violence.

"Is this what you did?"

Eden pointed to the door lock.

The informant shook his head,

"That's what it looked like when we found it."

Eden silently took this clue into his mind.

The two stepped lightly into the building. Eden noticed that there were some messy footprints on the floor of the first floor. After climbing to the second floor, Eden couldn't help but take a breath of air.

The strong smell of corpses hit his nostrils and rushed straight into his mind, making people feel the urge to vomit. Eden stood there, looking in disbelief as he watched Elder William being hung from the ceiling, and he was disemboweled. Most of the internal organs fell to the ground and were eaten by thousands of ants.

The informant turned his head slightly and covered his nose.

"That's it...that's him, right? It's pretty much the same as in the portrait."

After a while, Eden nodded slowly.

The priest felt something unreal.

Not long ago, Elder William, who was still opposing him in the church and seemed to doubt himself, died like this, and his death was miserable.

"Have you ever touched this place?"

Eden asked.

"No, no, we don't dare to move until you come."

The informant said so.

Looking at the miserable corpse, Eden silently clasped his hands together and gave a symbolic blessing. Then the priest turned around and told the informant:

"You go back first."

The informant nodded. He had long wanted to leave this ghost place.

Soon, Eden was the only one left in the building. The priest recited scriptures in a low voice and silently entered a spiritual state.

Glancing at Elder William's body, Eden realized that there was not much spiritual energy left in Elder William's body.

"Looks like he's been dead for quite some time."

Eden speculated.

This means that there is no way for me to channel myself.

Then, he looked down at the internal organs that fell on the ground, stretched out his foot and kicked it.

"No...these internal organs haven't become brittle yet. Elder William should have died just a few days ago." The complete loss of spirituality takes about seven to eight days. In some cases, it even takes nearly two weeks. According to theory Generally speaking, if Elder William has only been dead for four or five days, he can conduct channeling.

However, the spirituality on Elder William's body was almost gone, which meant that someone took the initiative to disperse Elder William's spirituality.

"Finally...shaman meeting?"

The only thing Eden could think of was this mysterious group.

The image of the shaman drinking the potion and killing himself is still vivid in Eden's mind.

The priest walked around the second floor. In the room where Elder William was, he saw scratches and traces of daggers penetrating the wood. The desk was even stained with Elder William's blood, and the blood stains continued all the way. The floor extended, but ended abruptly at the entrance of the stairs.

"It seems... Elder William let someone enter the door first, and then for some reason on the second floor, Elder William was attacked. On the way, Elder William tried to escape, but his life was taken away at the top of the stairs."

Eden tried to surmise.

He was not a professional and could only make a rough guess.

"Coupled with Elder William's lost spirituality, the person who attacked him...may be the Last Shaman."

Eden turned around and walked towards the desk. The books were placed in a mess, all of which were some theological works. He looked at the inkwell and found that the quill had been inserted into the inkwell, and then the inkwell was not closed. .

"What did Elder William plan to write before he was attacked?"

The priest picked up on this clue keenly.

He looked at the desk carefully again and found some burnt ashes on the floor of the desk.

"Something was burned. Was it burned by Elder William or by the person who attacked him?"

Immediately afterwards, Eden carefully looked at the other intact books and found that among this pile of theological works, there was a book that discussed the soul and the devil.

Eden picked it up and found that there were many folded pages in the upper left or upper right corner of the book, and judging from the folds, it seemed that they had been folded not long ago.

"He has been reading this book a lot recently."

There were no more clues on the desk. Eden turned around and approached Elder William's body. Then he pulled out the long sword from his waist, cut off the lanyard hanging the body, and with a plop, the body fell to the ground.

The priest turned Elder William over, and with the attitude of giving it a try, he fumbled for Elder William's monk's robe.

After experiencing a fierce fight during his lifetime, Elder William's monk's robe was already in terrible condition. Even the linen lining was in tatters and there were signs of being torn everywhere. In the pockets of the clothes, Eden only found a few irrelevant coins. Important coins.

Just as Eden was about to get up and leave, he suddenly noticed a sudden bulge on the lining of his linen clothes.

"There's something sewn in there!"

Eden said in surprise.

He immediately cut off the inner lining, and then unwrapped the silk thread. He immediately saw that it was a small sandwich, and a palm-sized piece of paper lay inside.

Eden took it out and took a cursory look and found that it was a piece of letter paper.

"Sewing it in a place like this, I guess it's very important."

Thinking in his mind, Eden immediately read the contents of the paper.

This letter is written in Logos, not Osenko or Deschanel, which are common in this area. It is written in Logos. Even if the secret letter unfortunately falls into the hands of others, it will still be lost. Can play a good role in confidentiality.

However, Eden can understand Logos.

[My brothers, when you see this letter, I will probably be dead. If I were not dead, I would not take out this letter. 】

At the beginning of the letter, Elder William wrote this passage in a sad tone.

It seems that he knows very well that he will welcome death anytime and anywhere.

[Here, I must confess all my sins to the King of Kings and to you. 】

After this paragraph, Elder William explained how he recognized the devil wizard Lozmer and how he made many plans with Duke Cedric. He used the power of the devil wizard and Duke Cedric. , some of the things he did were good and bad, but most of them provided a lot of help to the Fahora sect, and he was proud and boastful about it.

But after Lozmer disappeared, Elder William suddenly felt confused, scared, and lost an arm. Naturally, he had to find a way to make up for it. He and Duke Cedric tried to contact other devil wizards, and the tragedy began.

[We remembered that Lozmer belonged to an organization called the Last Shaman. Although we knew very little about it, we still extended our greedy claws into the abyss. What Lozmer wanted was the birth of the Ghost King, and we responded to his request and collected a lot of materials. We planned to use this material to make a deal with the Final Shaman Society behind Lozmer. 】

The birth of the Ghost King... thinking about this short sentence, Iden thought of the ghost king embryo that the final shaman would release by interpreting the gift scroll.

[Perhaps the kings of kings could no longer tolerate my sins, so they punished us. When we directly proposed a deal with the Last Shaman, we were immediately targeted by them. When they realized that we When enough materials had been collected for Lozmer, disaster struck. 】

After that, the final shaman pretended to cooperate with William and Cedric, but in fact, it was a waste of time. The final shaman cursed and killed Duke Cedric, and William reacted overnight. Escaped from the Duke's territory.

At the end of the letter, William issued the most hoarse warning to the monks of the Fahora sect.

[I have been punished by the kings of kings, but you have not yet. You must be careful, as vigilant as a rabbit, and if you encounter the following situations, you must be extremely careful. 】

[Based on my memories of Lozmer and my explorations over the past few days, I discovered that the purpose of the Final Shaman Club is by no means as simple as the birth of the Ghost King. That is just one part of it. What they plan to do is... It is a day, a day of despair, a day of renewal of heaven and earth, a day when kings will die and be forgotten; a day when men wear crowns to make peace with the devil and commit lewdness; a day when in the pale Give birth to the King of Heavy Ghosts! 】

Elder William wrote the last string of words with great effort, like a person shouting loudly on the eve of the flood.

"Wait...these descriptions."

Eden suddenly remembered something.

In the future era, he once saw a poem written by the pagan prophet Bursu, who was known as the weathervane and forerunner of the will of the King of Kings.

"Before the arrival of the pale shower, there must be a vision. First, there will be continuous clouds, and the sky will not be seen. The earth is filled with sin and depravity. People are leaderless and full of chaos. There must be fanatics wearing crowns and becoming one with the devil. The pale Within it lies the king of ghosts.”

Eden repeated the poem and murmured,

"It's all right, it's all right...the so-called great miracle is the pale shower!"
