Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

"I'm just a lost card elf. I suddenly came to a strange world and was very confused. I just happened to find a place that looked good, so I sneaked in."

A lost card elf? I didn't expect that there would be such a magical existence in the elf continent.

But listening to her own account, it really fits the setting of a lost soul... She is so lost that she doesn't know what to do, and she is very confused.

"When it was smashed to pieces, I thought my soul would be shattered forever. But I didn't expect you to be so amazing! You restored the Pyramid of Light in just one afternoon. I admire you very much!"

"oh oh……"

In this situation, You Ling was a little speechless. He only worked hard to put together the Millennium Bricks in order to get an empty soul container.

"So I've decided to hang out with you from now on! I've been sleeping in the same place for hundreds of years, and I'm already bored!"

Besides, the thinking mode of the soul of this unknown elf has jumped so far that even You Ling can hardly keep up with the pace.

Is she getting along with me? If I kick her out now, wouldn't it make me look very unkind?

"Then what should I call you?"

"Just call me Ah Xing."

"Axing? Okay. You can also just call me You Ling."

He is really casual from the inside out, both in his personality and in his name.

But since there really is an unknown soul living in the Pyramid of Light, You Ling now has to figure out another thing.

Why did the bells of the Old Ones ring when the Pyramid of Light was put back together?

"Axing, did you notice anything in this darkness?"

"Ha, Yu Ling, are you kidding me?"

"Just kidding. Well, you didn't notice anything."

"No, I was joking. What I meant was... there was such obvious malice in the darkness, and you asked me this question even though you knew it!"

"Malicious?"

Sure enough, it was no coincidence that these two things happened at the same time.

Ah Xing continued, "This is the first time I've felt such a huge and strong malice. It almost made me feel sick to the point of wanting to vomit. How ugly and dirty must one's heart be to emit such evil?"

"The Great Old Ones?"

If we talk about people with ugly and dirty hearts, then fanatical cultists are definitely the first choice.

"You Ling, let me say something. If this huge evil is left unchecked, then there may be innocent souls being tortured to insanity tonight."

What Axing said was the same as what Licia had said before, the whispers of the ancient gods would drive the soul crazy.

"Of course I won't just leave it alone!" You Ling answered decisively.

Regardless of whether the cultists came for the Aisha God Card or were attracted by his restoration of the Pyramid of Light, You Ling had no intention of just ignoring them.

Besides, letting innocent souls be sacrificed by cultists would make my conscience feel bad.

"Axing, can you tell me the exact location where the evil intent came from?"

"Of course, I can even draw you a map on the spot!"

"Forget about the map..."

Even if you draw a map, You Ling won't be able to see it.

But following Ah Xing's verbal instructions, You Ling was able to gradually approach the source of the evil.

There is no need to explain too much. Since You Ling resolutely chose to step out of the academy, Yilin, Irena and Arnold guessed that he had received some kind of guidance from the Pyramid of Light and followed him decisively.

By the way, since Aisha already has a Millennium Brick hanging on her chest, it would look very abrupt if she hung an almost identical Pyramid of Light on her chest.

So You Ling used his intelligence to directly wrap the chain at the top of the pyramid of light around the waistband of Aisha's skirt, making it a crystal waist ornament that was very suitable for the girl's appearance.

Aixia: "(°Д°) Mr. You Ling can actually dress up! Is this the girlish heart of a straight man?"

"It's just a waist ornament, it's not that exaggerated. Besides, who are you calling a straight man?"

"0v0 Hehe, I'm praising you."

Black Aisha: "You Ling, your level of appreciation is not bad~"

Ah Xing: "We're almost there, You Ling, follow me, follow me!"

very noisy!

There are too many ghosts behind the scenes, and they are too noisy!

Three independent voices sounded alternately in You Ling's mind. He no longer knew who to reply to. If he made a mistake, he might jump to the wrong channel like he did in the first place.

Just this short journey made You Ling feel exhausted.

This won't work, we have to find a way.

Of course, compared to solving the problem of the spirit behind it, the most difficult and top priority issue at the moment is the evil cult of the Old Ones.

After jogging along the way following Ah Xing's instructions, everyone finally arrived at the church.

But it was not a church in a town, but a long-abandoned church in the wilderness.

The dense forest blocked the starlight in the night sky above. The darkness was mixed with the rustling sound of plant branches and leaves, and the dense moving black shadows made the atmosphere of the abandoned church even more eerie and terrifying.

"Well, why are you a little bit unable to walk?"

Although he didn't run very hard, You Ling felt his legs become unexpectedly heavy.

"QwQ I'm sorry, Mr. You Ling. This is really horrible. Ten times more horrible than what is depicted in horror stories. It has triggered my instinctive retreat reaction."

"It's almost there, just hold on a little longer."

He patted Aixia's big white legs in disappointment. The cool breeze in the dark woods lifted her skirt and blew between her legs, making You Ling shiver.

"Oh, it seems a little scary..."

In horror stories, characters who disobey advice and walk into such abandoned churches usually die miserably.

If this world couldn't solve everything by playing cards, You Ling would have definitely chosen to turn back.

Chapter 267: Evil Gods and the Old Ones

The musty smell was pungent. The church had been abandoned for who knows how long. The damp and moldy wooden floor made a harsh squeaky sound when you stepped on it.

"Arnold, is it okay for you to rush forward like that?" Yilin asked.

"It's okay, seniors! In this situation, boys should of course walk in front, to protect my most respected senior Aixia!"

"Then good luck to you." You Ling chose the best safe position.

In general horror stories, people walking at the front and the back of the team are both high-risk positions.

The former is vulnerable to a series of face-attacking behaviors such as door opening kill and turning kill.

The latter are likely to be killed by the enemy, or even disappear inexplicably without any warning.

The one in charge of guarding the rear is, of course, the third-year senior Irena, who looks the most reliable.

"The demons and ghosts leave quickly~ The demons and ghosts leave quickly~"

Irena was chanting some strange spell, waving her magic wand, barely emitting a ray of light in the dark church.

The space inside the abandoned church is very spacious but also very simple. Apart from the tattered seats that have decayed due to time, the only eye-catching thing is the huge cross statue in the middle.

Through the shabby hollow roof of the church, the starlight is sprinkled on the huge cross, giving people a wonderful feeling of the blending of weirdness and sacredness.

"Ah Xing, is the sickening malice you mentioned really in this church?"

"vomit--!"

This guy is already vomiting. It turns out that the soul can really be vomited out.

"My feeling is absolutely correct. The ugly and dirty malice is like it is engraved in this space and nailed to that cross."

"Nailed to that cross? I've only ever heard of Jesus being crucified."

His eyes subconsciously fixed on the cross that was faintly illuminated by the starlight.

At this moment, You Ling's pupils seemed to have a vague hallucination.

What the vision saw seemed to be a bloody corpse nailed to the holy cross.

"Driven by the iron nails of destiny."

In the empty and abandoned church, the sound of chanting poems suddenly echoed.

"Until it reaches from our breasts, from pole to pole."

"A three-color rainbow surrounds the snail, waking up the world."

The voice was calm and peaceful, and the chanting was noble and sacred, as if it was telling that the god who was nailed to the cross was still spreading the ultimate love for mankind after his death.

"Who is it!" Arnold, who was at the front, asked loudly at the source of the sound, behind the huge cross.

"What a rare visitor. You actually came to visit my long-abandoned church. I'm sure you will become the most loyal believers of the Old Church in the future."

A man dressed in clergyman's attire walked out from behind the cross. He had regular features and a calm attitude.

"You are, the Old One?" You Ling asked in surprise.

You Ling originally thought that the fanatical cultists and the like should all be those with distorted and ugly appearances, crazy attitudes and behaviors, and they would either shout about burning the pagans to death or shout "my brain is shaking" all day long.

But the man in front of him, with his eyes narrowed and a calm smile on his face, was very suitable for being confident, handsome, elegant, and sacred.

He holds a thick Bible in his hand, with a silver cross expressing his faith hanging on his chest. On his face, which is as white and clean as a woman's, a luxurious gold-wire monocle seems like a symbol of intellect.

If he hadn't heard the term "old church" from his mouth and hadn't seen the appearance at first glance, You Ling might have really mistaken him for a dedicated priest living in a dilapidated church.

The man closed the poem he had just chanted and spoke slowly.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Yog-Toth, the cardinal of the Old Church. I have come from afar to guide lost souls. You should be my first guests."

“Cardinal!” Irena was surprised. “Hey, there is such a young cardinal. I thought clergymen of this status were mostly old men.”

"Senior, is the cardinal very powerful?" Yilin asked curiously.

"Let me put it this way. Among the clergy of the church, the red-robed one is second only to the highest-ranking pope, and has the same status as the patriarch and high priest."

"Is this man the second in command of the Old Ones?" Even though Arnold lived in the West and had some knowledge of the Old Church, it was the first time he saw a cardinal from the Old Ones.

"Don't be deceived by his appearance, You Ling!"

In my mind, Ah Xing's vigilant voice sounded.

"This man is the source of all evil. I have never seen a soul so ugly and filthy. It's like... the abyss in human skin, the epitome of evil."

"I understand."

You Ling certainly won't be deceived by appearances.

Besides, no matter how handsome the other person is, how could a handsome guy possibly deceive me?

Of course, even if the other party is a beautiful older sister, she can’t fool You Ling.

If you want to trick You Ling with your appearance, you need a Dragon or Ultra Machine with at least 3000 attack power.

Moreover, You Ling noticed the elf eyes wrapped around the other party's arm the moment he appeared.

No matter how high your status as a cardinal is, no matter how magical you are, as long as you are in this elven continent, duel is the supreme rule.

"Are lost souls no longer eager to head toward the path of salvation guided by God?"

Perhaps sensing You Ling's fighting spirit, Yog-Sothoth unfolded the thick Book of Songs in his hand again. As he flipped through the pages quickly, the cards sandwiched between the pages appeared in his hands one by one, just like magic.

Seeing his opponent take out a deck of cards, Arnold gathered his strength and activated the Eye of the Elf.

"Let me deal with him, Senior Aisha!"

As a result, Yog-Toth simply ignored Arnold's provocation.

"Back off, tower keeper who doesn't even have true control over the power of God. Your restless soul still has a long way to go before it can be redeemed."

Yog-Toth slowly raised his arm and pointed at the Millennium Brick on Aisha's chest.

"The intricate key of the soul is the closest to the redemption of the old days... You should also possess the power from God, Aisha Carlos!"

"Are you really here to snatch the God Card?"

Just like what Camille said, no matter how confident and calm this cultist appears, his ultimate goal is still the God Card.
