The production of faith energy was very strange, and the existence of faith was even more elusive.
Due to years of opposing the gods, there was no lack of strange wizards who studied the gods. Through meticulous and comprehensive experiments, they had a preliminary understanding of the communication method between the believers of the gods and the gods. They discovered that everything seemed to be related to a brain node called the faith channel.
When a normal living being became a believer of the gods, their god would leave a strange mark in their soul. This mark was like a magical switch. As long as the believer was in a pious state of prayer, it could establish a small but stable spiritual channel between the believer and the god, completing the transfer of faith energy.
Of course, this faith channel worked both ways.
When a believer opened their heart, their body, mind, and everything in their soul would be revealed to the god. However, the gods had no interest in understanding and exploring the thoughts and secrets of normal living beings.
Through a large number of experiments and research, wizards discovered that as long as they could find a way to seal off a part of the brain of a believer of the gods and cut off the link between them and the god, they would only need to use a bewitching spell to trick a believer into changing their faith.
However, this method of sealing off a part of the brain was also a test of the wizard's ability.
If the sealed area was slightly off, the intelligence and thinking ability of the target would be greatly damaged. Even if the sealing was successful, the person would still become an idiot. The location of the sealed area in the brain and the appropriate size of the area varied from person to person, so one could only slowly explore and experiment.
Of course, Mary did not have such high-level knowledge, nor did she have such exquisite witchcraft methods. Hence, when she had attempted to embrace a Tier 2 female Elf, she had relied on the Vampire race's special ability to do so.
In previous experiments, she had accidentally transformed some high-grade elves into blood elves. Unfortunately, this female elf leader was destined to make her return without any success.
It was unknown whether it was because her mental strength was especially tenacious or because her faith was especially devout. In short, when Mary's Embrace was in progress and the blood cocoon was about to perfectly cover the path node, the female elf's soul undulations suddenly erupted with a wave.
The ripple was very weak, and it was completely sealed by the blood cocoon in the blink of an eye. However, it had unknowingly alerted a strange existence tens of thousands of miles away.
Sylsa, who was whispering with Goddess Miwei in the Moonlight Shrine, suddenly stopped talking and silently turned her head to look and sense somewhere in the southwest.
"Sister Sylvia, what's wrong?" Mi Wei asked in confusion.
After a moment of hesitation, a hint of anger appeared on her face.
"Just now, a high-ranked believer and I lost our connection …" Ye Zichen said.
She spoke very casually and vaguely. If it were any other mortal, they might not even be able to understand the meaning behind it. However, the person in front of her was none other than the Elven Goddess of Moonlight Mivi, who was also an Elven Goddess. She immediately grasped the key points in Sylvia's words.
High-level worshippers … their information channels have been severed …
As long as an elf chose to believe in a certain god, the god would be able to smoothly leave a special mark on the elf's soul with the help of some sacred prayer rituals. Many believers who were loved and cared for by the gods could even manifest this brand and turn it into an extremely eye-catching Divine Mark.
Anyone who possessed a Divine Mark would have a God watching over him or her!
In the system of divine spell practitioners, even the divine messengers could not manifest a mark. Only the more favored and favored sons and daughters could have it.
There were only two ways to erase the mark of a God Spirit once it was branded.
One was the death of the believer, and the other was the conversion of the believer.
However, these two possibilities were almost rare on the Calan Continent.
Let's talk about conversion first.
It was almost impossible for a forest elf to completely abandon her faith in the Elven Goddess Sylsa and change her faith to another goddess. This … This was almost impossible in Calan Continent. Even the messengers of the Goddess of Moonlight Miwei had to maintain a shallow faith in Sylvia while madly believing in Miwei.
This was almost an unwritten rule of the elven gods!
No one, not even a god, dared to touch this rule.
So it was impossible for a believer to convert.
Then the only possibility left was the death of the believer.
But even if the high-ranking believer really died, the divine mark should have directly collapsed, and not "broken" as Sylvia said! Didn't this mean that the faith node still existed, but Sylvia could no longer communicate with the believer through the faith node?
No god could tolerate such a thing!
So Sylvia closed her eyes and carefully checked, and finally, she could not hide the shock on her face.
Unknowingly, the same situation had happened to 27 faith nodes one after another.
It was just that when this happened before, Sylvia's body was high up in the divine kingdom, and it was difficult for her to clearly see through this abnormality through the plane barrier.
Although the gods were omnipotent, they were not omniscient and omnipotent!
For the believers they paid attention to, the gods could naturally observe everything that happened to them immediately. But for tens of millions of ordinary believers, only when they came to the temple or altar and prayed to the gods devoutly would the gods pay attention to them for a moment.
Of course, this also required them to be able to do something that attracted the gods' interest and was worthy of the gods' attention! Otherwise, even the most diligent god would not be interested in the thoughts of an ant, no, a lamb.
But it was in this darkness that Sylvia was shocked to find that her 27 believers, no, 28, had inexplicably lost connection with her faith. And Sylvia was abnormally sure that they were not dead.
Fortunately, she had left a divine will behind when her believers were tortured to death. Otherwise, this kind of "theft" of believers might have lasted for a long time before she found out.
So Sylvia nodded at Mi Vi without hesitation and turned around to return to her main temple.
Here, with the enormous power of faith that had been gathered on the giant god statue for thousands of years, Sylvia could more effectively use the power of her divine will.
With such a perception, Sylvia was instantly enraged!
Near an elven city called Sky Water City on the west coast of the Calan Continent, a large number of believers had died. Sensing the disappearing faith nodes one after another, Sylvia went completely berserk!
She didn't need to shout or make any gestures. With just a thought, the main temple of the elven goddess immediately bloomed with dazzling holy light. From afar, the main temple seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light, which was especially holy and beautiful.
In the area of the temple, all the elves who witnessed this scene couldn't help but kneel on the ground, devoutly chanting songs of praise for the elven goddess Sylvia.
Only Sylvia's temple priests sensed the abnormality in this layer of golden light. They hurried to the main temple and knelt in front of the towering statue of the goddess.
Sky Water City … Elven believers were slaughtered …
In the face of Sylvia's divine decree, the few temple priests looked at each other in dismay.
Since ancient times, Sylvia had never given such a clear divine decree regarding the defense of a single place. And vaguely, the few temple priests could feel the anger of the goddess from Sylvia's cold and stern tone.
Without the slightest hesitation, the few temple priests rushed out of the temple and ran to contact the high-ranking believers far away in Sky Water City.
Although they had vast and powerful divine power, they couldn't do anything in the face of a massacre that happened tens of thousands of miles away. The only thing they could do was to inform the elven guards in Sky Water City and the high-grade believers in the vicinity of this news, so that they could become the goddess's envoys of vengeance and kill all the evil people who angered the goddess!
Unfortunately, of the four messengers of the elven goddess, two were at the frontline of the south coast, one was stationed in the Faen Continent, and one was guarding the elven queen. None of them could be mobilized easily. Therefore, the few priests of the Divine Temple could only get in touch with the local priests through the altars of the Divine Temple and think of ways to recruit powerful high-grade believers.
However, after a round of crazy wrangling and quarreling, they really found the most suitable target.
Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance!
She was a female elven warrior who could advance to the "Spear of Vengeance" profession, which was rare in the elven kingdom.
In everyone's mind, elven women were always soft and weak. Although they weren't too weak to be blown away by a gust of wind, they were more delicate and delicate compared to the females of other races, giving people a strange feeling that they would break at the slightest touch.
As a female elf, this Spear of Vengeance Ai Jiaye didn't have the delicate and delicate characteristics of ordinary female elves. Instead, she gave people a sense of masculinity and toughness.
She wasn't ugly, and it was impossible for her to be ugly.
However, the way she dressed was very different from that of ordinary female elves. Instead, she had the wild and tough temperament of an Amazon. She wore a hollowed out black leather armor and sweat-soaked belts. That was all she had on.
There were no earrings or pendants, no necklaces or headbands, no bracelets or flowers … In short, she didn't like anything that elven women liked. She dressed like a female Amazon warrior and carried her beloved spear wherever she went.
