Chapter 51

One night later, the orcs didn't come back. I don't know whether they gave up or had other plans.

The twilight of dawn wakes up the town, but at this moment, the former peaceful town has lost its vitality.

The ground near the dawn library is full of potholes, collapsed houses and scattered Orc bodies.

In the hall, Yan Chong had been exercising until more than one o'clock in the morning before his body's satiety disappeared. However, Luo Li and his wife had eaten the full table of dishes.

Therefore, Yan Chong can only use meditation instead of sleep, honestly continue to exercise mental strength.

Although there was such a fierce battle yesterday, after three or four hours of meditation, Yan Chong was full of energy and no drowsiness. He recovered completely.

There are several exquisite tents nearby, and the sound of steady breathing comes from inside.

Out of the library, looking at the numerous scars on the earth, smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Yan Chong could not help frowning.

"War, is such cruelty." There was a flat voice in his ear. Yan Chong turned his head and saw that Meilin did not know when he had come to his side.

"But the innocent people will always suffer." Yan Chong frowned and said.

"Yes, if the Church of glory had set up a church here before, perhaps when the orcs invaded, the priests would certainly help to dredge the people and let more people escape this disaster."

"It is our responsibility to spread the light and expel the darkness." Merlin's face was sad, but her tone was very firm.

"Why doesn't the Empire allow you to build churches here?" Yan Chong doubted.

Before that, he was very curious about the reasons for the drastic changes of a hundred years ago, which led to the decline of the Empire.

"Ambition!" Merlin's tone suddenly increased and two words came out.

"No emperor is willing to share his power with others. What he wants is that the whole empire, and even the whole endless continent, is under his sole control. "

"Ambition, however, needs to be matched by strength. He didn't have the strength, so he made the wrong choice

"But," Yan Chong couldn't help interrupting Merlin's words and retorting, "the glorious church is a service to gods."

"So why does the church pose a threat to the power of the human Empire?"

With that, he fixed his eyes on Merlin, as if trying to tell the truth from the false.

Merlin laughed and said, "do you think our church is a group of people who are greedy for power?"

Yan Chong did not speak, still staring at each other, showed his attitude.

"Empires change from time to time, but the gods are eternal."

"Who moved whose cheese first, that may be. As an emperor, perhaps he can enjoy the highest glory and power among human beings and do whatever he wants. But if we offend the gods, what we do is to uphold the will of the gods. "

As the voice dropped, Merlin turned and left.

Yan Chong stood in place, thinking.

Just now, he had unconsciously applied some of the history of the earth to the endless continents.

However, he ignored that the so-called divine monarchy on earth is just a trick for the monarch to guide and play himself and deceive the people.

But the endless continent is completely different. The life span of the gods is nearly eternal, and the empire is constantly changing. Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, it is just a mole ant that lives longer and grows stronger in the garden at home.

An ant can be a bully in his group, but once he's gone, he wants to turn the tables and drive people out of the garden, and the nature of the matter is a little more serious.

Therefore, the church may not be as arrogant as imagined. What they do has always been the inspiration of the gods.

However, there is a new question in Yan Chong's mind. As an emperor, especially the indigenous people of the endless continent, how could he not understand this truth, and instead, he would die to anger the gods?

Slight tremor from the ground conduction, Yan Chong can not help looking around, and the library door, Luo Li walked out.

"What is the situation? Is there another battle? " Yan Chong couldn't help asking.

The tremor was a little bit like a fireball the size of Sophia's head that day, creating the aftershock of the explosion.

But there was no explosion nearby, more like the afterwave of a distant earthquake.

"It's the altar node. Merlin should be destroying the altar node in the town." "Come on, let's go too, or we'll be the first one by this guy. Maybe the clue to that thing has something to do with it."

Yan Chong knew that yesterday Luo Li said that the orcs might have transformed the whole town into a huge altar.

Whether their plan to capture the town is successful or not, the dead in the altar will offer sacrifices to the altar, regardless of the enemy or the enemy.Therefore, they are likely to have exceeded their goals.

When Lori flipped her hand, a card with a gold background appeared in her hand. It was the card that sealed harek's altar yesterday.

She covered the card with mental power, felt for a moment, and then ran in a direction.

Yan Chong quickly followed.

"The whole town's altars are designed to expand and store offerings, and this miniature altar serves as the core to absorb offerings and communicate with evil spirits."

Laurie raised her card and said, "there is a subtle connection between the two."

Soon, they came to an alley.

Luo Li's feet to the ground gently stomp, the bluestone immediately broke open, a dense red light emitted out.

The pungent and bloody smell pervaded the air. Looking down, it was not mud under the bluestone, but a red viscous liquid.

The liquid emits red light, which seems to be radiative. Although it is just a pile of dead things, Yan Chong always feels that there is life in it, and there is a pulse of heartbeat.

"It's kind of XP." Don't know why, Yan Chong's heart suddenly came up with this idea.

Yan Chong had analyzed that XP might be a good thing that all gods wanted. Then, the so-called sacrifice is the evil god, and it is likely that the soul of human beings is needed.

"Human XP is definitely much higher than the general cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. After all, there is a big gap in wisdom."

"Therefore, evil gods like cruel and bloody sacrificial ceremonies, and the sacrifices are often human beings."

[absorb]!

However, after the launch of "learn", nothing happened, and there was no XP revenue.

"Is it because of the time limit of more than two minutes?" Yan Chong was not disappointed. He was always trying, and his ability to absorb was promoted to level C. There was still a time limit of 2 minutes.

"What are these liquids?" Yan Chong asked Luo Li, like the unknown liquid in Richard's secret room, no information appeared.

"The circuit conductor of the sacrificial ceremony, the blood of some abyssal demon creature, represents unknowns and filth." Laurie has a dignified look.

"We can only seal it or purify it with divinity."
