"Eternal Shrine?" Lin Li could not help but frown when he heard the name. It was too familiar, and he must have heard it somewhere before …
Oh, yes, Jarrosus …
In the dungeon of the Merlin Family, the middle-aged man who had helped him a lot held his hand before he died, and told him to bring Ina to the Eternal Shrine to look for her mother.
Yes, it was that Eternal Shrine …
Apart from that, the middle-aged man also gave him half a crossbow bolt, saying that it was the only clue to find the Eternal Shrine. Unfortunately, he could not get any more information from this half of the crossbow bolt after asking many people.
"This is another secret, one that almost no one wants to believe. Almost everyone in Anril thinks that the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine were born after the fall of the High Elves Dynasty …"
"Is that not the case?"
"Of course not …" Sendros shook his head. "But in this world, there are definitely less than 10 people who know the truth. Even I only found out after I became the high priest that the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine were actually split from the Eternal Shrine. The only difference is that one believes in the Holy Light, while the other believes in the Gloomy Dark …"
"F * ck …" No matter how brave Lin Li was, he could not help but curse when he suddenly heard such a secret that had been buried for thousands of years.
"This may sound a little shocking, but if you think about it carefully, it will not be too surprising. Haven't you noticed that both the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine had their own complete doctrines on the day they were born? This is simply against the laws of nature. The perfection of any doctrine cannot be completed overnight, not to mention the two extreme doctrines of Light and Darkness …"
"Are you trying to tell me that the doctrines of the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine actually came from … the Eternal Shrine …?" Lin Li's eyes widened as he swallowed his saliva, and forcefully swallowed the word "plagiarism".
Sendros' words were too shocking. Lin Li's eyes widened as he muttered to himself, Damn it, why didn't I see it before? This old fellow Sendros is actually so daring. This is simply questioning the doctrines of the two shrines …
Fortunately, he was a mage. If it were the believers of the two shrines, they would have fallen out with him on the spot. This was too daring. Plagiarizing the doctrines of the two shrines was simply the words of a heretic. If it were the two shrines in their heyday, they would have been tied up and burned to death!
"Plagiarism." Lin Li was shocked, but Sendros did not care. He did not even bat an eyelid as he blurted out the words that Lin Li did not dare to say …
"You're crazy …" Lin Li was so shocked that he rolled his eyes.
"I did not say that …" Sendros did not look guilty at all after saying the disgraceful word "plagiarism". "It is clearly written in the scripture of the Darkness Shrine that Light and Darkness come from Eternity, and will return to Eternity. This is not a shameful secret. Not only do I know about it, but all the High Priests of the Darkness Shrine know about it. I reckon that even the Archbishops of the Brilliance Shrine have no choice but to know about it …"
"I say, what's your motive for telling me such a big secret? Aren't you afraid that I will talk in my sleep and reveal this secret to you?"
Sendros suddenly laughed, and then stared at Lin Li for a long time. "Because I have confirmed that you are the Incarnation of Darkness in the prophecy …"
"What nonsense prophecy …"
"A prophecy that only the High Priests of the past know. The original text is recorded in the scripture of the Darkness Shrine. I can let you take a look at it when you have the time to visit the Darkness Shrine. Anyway, the general meaning is that the Incarnation of Darkness will one day descend with the deepest darkness in this world …"
"What has this got to do with me?"
"It has a lot to do with you …" Sendros only smiled, and his expression was calm. "Do you remember that when I attacked you this afternoon, you gave off a very strong Dark Force …"
"This …" Lin Li immediately knew where the problem was. Indeed, he had used the power of Gloomy Dark when Sendros attacked him in the afternoon. That was the only way he could hide the Humerus Wyrm and sneak an attack without making a sound. Otherwise, how could a Humerus Wyrm hide from a powerhouse in the Legendary-realm if it could not even hide from the eyes of an ordinary person?
Could it be that the sneak attack that he did not manage to complete had turned him into the Incarnation of Darkness?
However, it made sense when he thought about it carefully. The power of Gloomy Dark was extremely pure, and was indeed the deepest darkness in this world …
However, Lin Li did not want to become the Incarnation of Darkness at all …
What was wrong with that? He could use his identity as a Master of Pharmaceutics to maintain a good relationship with the Brilliance Shrine and Darkness Shrine. He could even use his identity as a pharmaceutics Guru when he was in a good mood. Once he cured the Viper's poison in Rosario's body, he would immediately become the benefactor of the Brilliance Shrine. If he asked for the stars, they would not dare to give him the moon. Why should he become the Incarnation of Darkness …
Was it that easy to be the Incarnation of Darkness? Even though the Brilliance Shrine seemed to be magnanimous now, and even tolerated the friendship between the archbishop and the high priest, if he really created the Incarnation of Darkness, those fanatics would not be so easy to talk to. If there was another Holy War, he would really have no place to cry …
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky …"
"You won't feel that way after you hear me out …" How could Sendros not know Lin Li's character after knowing him for so long? To put it nicely, he was pragmatic, but to put it bluntly, he was unscrupulous. Principles were useless before him, and the only thing that could move him was benefits. "You have to know that in the teachings of the Darkness Shrine, the position of the Incarnation of Darkness is extremely high. Even the three high priests have to obey your will …"
"Oh?" Just as Sendros had expected, Lin Li's eyes lit up as soon as he said that. "Do you mean that if I encounter any trouble, I can get the people of the Darkness Shrine to help me solve it?" he asked.
"Of course you can …"
"Very well, from today onwards, I am the Incarnation of Darkness!" Lin Li had always been someone who changed his attitude faster than flipping a book. Once he heard that there were benefits in this matter, he immediately put on a righteous face, and shamelessly added, "Oh yes, if you meet Englos, help me ask him if the Brilliance Shrine is lacking in incarnations. Actually, I can condescend to become one …"
"…" Sendros was considered a cultured person, but when he heard this sentence, he almost had a heart attack from anger.
Damn it, how shameless can this person be?
After a moment of self-indulgence, Lin Li suddenly thought of something. "Oh yes, you mentioned just now that if I meet with any trouble, I can ask the people of the Darkness Shrine to help me, right? Just nice, I am really in a little trouble now. Master Sendros, would you consider helping me solve it? "
"What trouble?"
"A Crimson Python, I want to get rid of it as soon as possible …"
"Crimson Python?" Sendros was stunned. "Isn't the Crimson Python a level-18 magical beast? With your abilities, it should be easy for you to get rid of it, right? Why must you drag me into it?"
"Because it is a level-20 Crimson Python."
"Oh, it has mutated …" Sendros was, after all, knowledgeable, and immediately understood the reason.
"So, are you going to help or not?"
"When do you plan to set off?"
"Of course, the sooner the better. This Crimson Python is of great importance, and I am afraid that the Malfa Family will get it before me."
"It is too late now, and the sky is too dark. If we barge into the nest of the Crimson Python, I am afraid that something might happen. How about tomorrow afternoon? We will find time to go out tomorrow afternoon, and help you get rid of this Crimson Python … "After saying that, Sendros showed some doubt on his face." But what can a Crimson Python do? With your current abilities, you don't seem to need a Legendary magical crystal … "
Lin Li stared at Sendros for a long time. When he saw that the Legendary-mage was starting to feel guilty, Lin Li snapped, "You are returning all the things that I taught you just now, aren't you? How many times have I told you that Legendary magical beasts, especially those that have mutated, have extremely precious herbs growing in their nests? Take the Crimson Python for example. Two mutated Crimson Pythons could possibly produce the Dragon's Tongue, and the Black Lotus, as well as the fruit of the Mana Tree could be used to create a Master-level Rune Potion. As for the effects of the Rune Potion, I don't think I need to tell you again, do I? "
"I understand …" In the whole of Anril, only the old and the young would find it strange. A Legendary-mage was actually not angry after being scolded, and even took out his notebook to record what he had heard.
"Oh, yes. After getting rid of the Crimson Python tomorrow, I will be returning to the Ledin Kingdom. The arrival of the Incarnation of Darkness is extremely important to the Darkness Shrine, and I have to go back to announce this news. If you have any needs, you can send someone to the Darkness Shrine to inform me."
"Yes, don't forget to tell Englos that I can really do it!"
