This isn't a souls-like game at all.

If the Dark Treasure Stork's arrangements on the ground were completely disrupted, it would probably faint from anger.

But there is no way, who asked it to cooperate with the "Ambassador"?

The item description of [Skull of the Ancient Saint Worm] says that it is "a person who committed the sin of blasphemy."

"Unless I peel off a layer of your skin, you two won't know who has the final say in the border area now!"

He hummed twice in a pretentious manner, then took out the old woman's hymn book and looked at the hymn called "Dark Will".

Dark Will

Spell slots occupied: 1.

Skill consumption: 12.

Requirements: Faith 19.

Item Description: One of the hymns praising the Lord of Darkness.

A hymn used by the Dark Mistress's priests to spread the faith of the Dark Lord.

It can wave its arms and shed light with a slight amount of dark power.

After being adjusted by researchers of chaos magic, it can erode the will of living beings.

Subtly change beliefs and thoughts.

It is said that the priests of the Dark Order often preach in darkness and gloom.

That's because under the sunlight, even the darkest darkness cannot escape exposure.

"There's actually this kind of forced proselytizing hymn?"

Ye Yiyi had a strange look on his face and was quite confused.

The gods on the Kingdom of God Star and their followers fought each other until they were beaten to a pulp. In the final analysis, wasn't it all for the so-called faith?

"But ever since the arrival of the Exorcism of Stagnation, the power of faith has long been useless, and gods can no longer gain power from faith. So, what is the purpose of using these brainwashing hymns to preach and engage in this forced missionary work?"

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Ultimately, it can only be seen as part of the Dark Stork's plan to promote the faith of the Lord of Darkness.

If I want to find out why, it seems I have to ask someone at the level of a pastor or bishop.

He put the question aside for the moment and looked at the ring that the dung beetle had looted from the pastor.

This is a dark purple ring without any decoration. It feels quite heavy in the hand, and I don’t know what kind of metal it is made of.

Then check the light curtain.

【Dark Ring】

Item Description: A ring bestowed upon the Dark Archbishop.

Can increase the spell slot limit.

It is said that every matron is accompanied by a priest.

They are the church leaders who command the clergy and serve the Matron.

Therefore, he possesses great strength and extraordinary mind.

"Every matron?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but squint his eyes.

In other words, the Dark Cult actually has more than one Dark Mistress and more than one Dark Priest?

No, they are all called mistress, so why are there more than one?

Moreover, this mistress should be someone under the "Ambassador", so why were they all stuffed into the Dark Cult?

"It's a bit confusing..."

He shook his head, weighed the ring up and down, put it on, and then checked the light curtain.

"Only one spell slot added?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows, thinking that this was a little too little.

He now has 33 spell slots, so it can be said that he has no shortage of them.

If this ring could add three or two spell slots, it would be quite useful.

If it is just one, it would seem a bit useless.

"Never mind. It's better to have it than not. Maybe it will be useful someday."

He took off the ring and put it away, looked around, then came to Timothy and looked up and down at Soliuya who was still unconscious.

"Ms. Michaela."

Timothy handed over the no longer glowing Self-Stone and asked with a hint of concern:

"The hypnosis on Lady Soliuya has been completely removed, but she shows no signs of waking up."

"Don't worry so much, you won't die."

Ye Yiyi took the Self-Stone and said casually:

"This guy has been staying by Dado's side for so many years, working for him. God knows how many times he's been hypnotized."

"With so much hypnosis, even if it's all removed, it will take time to recover, so you don't need to worry about it, just let her sleep for a while."

"I understand."

Timothy heaved a sigh of relief after getting the explanation.

Since Sir Michaela said so, it cannot be wrong.

"But then again..."

Ye Yiyi pinched her chin and looked at Suo Liuya, who looked serene and calm, and suddenly felt a little doubtful.

"This girl has been hypnotized so much that there's no need to interrogate her. All we need to do is cast a spell and make her talk."

"Then why did that old woman interrogate Timothy about my identity before?"

Recalling the scenery he saw when he broke into the room before, he looked up at the door above thoughtfully.

"You stay here, I'll go up and take a look."

"it is good."

Ye Yiyi walked up the stairs and returned to the previous corridor.

The candles on both sides of the corridor have now been extinguished, and only a dim purple light comes from the room at the end, reflecting a crystal light through the tiny crystals that fill the corridor.

The dung beetle ignited the spiritual fire at just the right moment, dispelling the darkness around it.

"These candles seemed to have previously emitted purple smoke, from which a monster was summoned."

He thought in his mind, looked at the purple candles neatly arranged on the long candlestick, reached out and pulled one out at random.

The light curtain then popped out.

[Netherworld Human Fat Incense Candle]

Item Description: Incense candles made from human fat through a special ritual.

When burning, it can produce a thick dark fog.

Then it summoned strange monsters from the abyss of the underworld.

Since ancient times, Youming Village has had a ritual of using human fat to make incense and candles.

It is said that it can communicate with other creatures through spiritual communication.

To gain protection and strength.

"Human fat?!"

After reading the description of the item, Ye Yiyi's face changed, and his expression as he looked at the incense and candles in his hand became horrified and angry.

"I knew this Dark Cult was no good!"

His face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at the at least several hundred human fat incense candles lined up in the corridor.

One can imagine how many humans are needed to make so many incense sticks!

He crushed the incense and candle in his hand with a dark face, thinking that the old woman was not aimless.

If she didn't have some skills, how could she dare to cut off the human cows and make meat dishes?

Now that I think about it, this group of priests might have mastered even more dark and anti-human skills.

"Fuck it, I can't stand it, I have to kill them all!"

He had indeed made no mistake in killing before. Every single one of these members of the Dark Cult deserved to die!

After putting all the human fat candles into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, he stepped on the crystals on the ground and searched everywhere, and finally found a strange purple gem somewhere.

"This should be what the monster the human-fat candle summoned from the abyss of the netherworld left behind after it crystallized."

He thought to himself, then looked at the light curtain.

Chapter 557: The Ancient Saint's Gate and the Dark Scythe.

[Ultimate Netherworld True Spirit Crystal]

Item Description: The core of the soul.

A special crystal obtained after the true spirit is crystallized.

One of the True Spirit Crystals is of extremely outstanding quality.

Can be found in the Nether Abyss.

One of the materials used to craft props.

It can also be used to strengthen the spirit of armor or catalysts.

It can greatly reduce the damage taken by attacks from Hell and Nether creatures.

Or it can enhance the bonus effect of spells related to Hell and Dark attributes.

The root of the border is adjacent to the Zhoutian Daling Waterfall.

That was shaped after being transformed.

The true spirits of all living beings return to the place of reincarnation.

Because immortality is eliminated from it.

Therefore, the accumulated spiritual waterfall turned into a dark abyss.

It is said that there are strange monsters transformed from real spirits wandering around.

"Zhoutian Great Spiritual Waterfall?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but frown, feeling puzzled.

"But if I remember correctly, shouldn't this spiritual waterfall be a mechanism that only the withered green trees on Roanmoya have?"

The immortal magic "Spirit Waterfall Immortal Sword" once said: "When the life of all things comes to an end, their true spirit will turn into a spirit waterfall and return to the dead green tree."

In other words, the Spirit Waterfall is a specialty of Ron Moya.

But judging from the description of this item, the bordering roots have obviously been artificially modified, turning the place where the true spirit returns to reincarnation into the so-called "Zhoutian Great Spirit Waterfall".

However, since the winding vines did not have the immortality of the dead green wood, the spiritual waterfall accumulated into a sea, thus turning into a dark abyss.

This is similar to the description in the hymn "Shadows Shift."

So the question is, what is the purpose of doing this?

At this moment, Ye Yiyi had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

For example, the lingering vine veins showed abnormalities and stopped functioning normally, causing the entire "network" to be disconnected.

For example, the Heavenly Creator extracts the soul echoes of all the dead lives bordering on the land to strengthen the seal of the stagnant curse.

All these things seem to be related to the spiritual waterfall at the root of the border.

Not to mention, the Dark Treasure Stork now lives in the abyss of the underworld.
