Lucien, who had changed his appearance, walked towards the slum along the Sonar River, where many secret altars were hidden.
The God of Wind and Rain, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the other false gods who had been banished from the river valley were certainly unwilling to give up the abundant resources of faith. Therefore, they each left their secret preachers. Lucien was trying to learn the current situation of the false gods from them so that he could judge the progress of Ell and Francis.
It had been more than half a month since Lucien spread the specious stories. He decided to stop today and stop taking risks by changing his appearance. He decided to let the rumors grow and spread to other parts of this world through the sea merchants and merchants, thus attracting the attention of those who wanted to know.
"From now on, I'll wait and see. I'll seize the opportunity to get rid of the danger." The evening wind on the Sonar River blew on Lucien's face with the unique moisture of the rainy season. The heat in the evening started to turn into coolness.
Suddenly, Lucien's left hand shook uncontrollably. His head was in a bit of a trance, and he felt a chill on his back.
"Why is this happening?" Lucien was shocked. Recently, his left hand had been shaking more and more frequently.
At first, Lucien thought that it was a sign that Alterna, the God of the Silver Moon, was about to wake up after half a month of hibernation, or it was a sign that she was hungry. Lucien was planning to find a god who had many living rituals and was familiar with the domains of death, Silver Moon, and peace to appease Alterna. However, after several times today, Lucien realized that the dangerous chill came from himself!
Lucien wondered if Alterna, who had recovered some of her power from hibernation, sensed that something was wrong with my body or my soul, so she used this method to remind me? Or maybe, as her power was slightly recovered, my left hand was able to borrow some power. So, she discovered the hidden disharmony between my body and my soul?
Either way, the problem pointed to Lucien himself. Lucien's mind was very heavy. There were many strange spells and curses in the main material world!
"I have to find the source of the problem tonight!"
Calming himself down, Lucien, wearing a linen robe, walked into the slum. This time, he pretended to be a secret believer of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
"You're here?" A poor person who passed by said in a low voice. He used his eyes to indicate the direction they were heading.
Lucien replied in a low voice, "Yes, I'm praying to Angri."
According to the instructions, Lucien walked towards the dilapidated street on the right. Along the way, he met many believers. Under their guidance, after several turns, he finally saw an ordinary mud house.
"It feels good to have a familiar face." Lucien touched the face that did not belong to him. The first time he came here, he had used Suggestion, Instruction, Hypnosis, Charm, and other spells to get it done.
Pushing open the mud hut, there was a skinny old man inside. He crawled on the ground and kissed the ground.
"Priest Angri, I'm sorry to interrupt your prayers," Lucien said politely.
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Angri's wrinkled face. "Don't worry about it. I'm very happy. I've heard that two false gods have fallen."
Since it was a secret mission, the number of believers that could be won was undoubtedly much smaller. Therefore, the competition between the six churches became more and more obvious, and the relationship between the priests who stayed in the slum quickly deteriorated.
"What? Two false gods have fallen?" Lucien showed his real surprise.
Angri stood up from the ground. "When I was praying in the morning, I received a revelation from the Mother Goddess, but I always suspected that I misunderstood. Until half an hour ago, I finally confirmed that the statues in the secret altars of the God of Wind and Rain and the God of Love had cracked, and the priests had also lost their divine power."
"Were they killed by the God of Redemption by depriving them of their godhood?" Lucien did not expect that Ell and the rest of them could kill two false gods at the same time.
Angri nodded with a big smile. "Yes."
Seeing Angri's attitude, Lucien suddenly realized that one of the six false gods had betrayed them. At least, the Mother Goddess of the Earth had joined Ell's side. That was why they could kill the two false gods unexpectedly! Otherwise, when they were helping each other, Ell and Francis would not dare to attack even if one of the false gods was accidentally left alone. They would definitely suspect that it was a trap set by them together with the Lord of War.
"May the Mother Goddess bless you." Lucien bowed.
Angri drew a cross on his chest that made Lucien want to laugh. "You should call him the Angel of the Earth now."
He did not intend to hide the news from his followers. At such a difficult time, such news had to be used to motivate people and strengthen their faith.
"As I expected." Lucien bowed again with a "sincere" smile on his face.
After leaving the slum, Lucien changed his appearance again in the woods by the river. Under the cover of darkness, he returned to the slum from another direction. This time, his target was the secret church of Ell, the God of Redemption. He wanted to confirm what he had just heard.
As a initiator, Lucien and Anheuse both knew about the several contacts in the city of Husum. Therefore, after faking his death, they were the easiest source of information for Lucien.
When he was close to the slum, Lucien suddenly heard someone pacing back and forth in a corner. He turned his head and saw a young man in a linen robe through the darkness.
"No, it's a woman." Lucien squinted his eyes. The woman who disguised herself as a poor man had aroused his interest.
Recently, Lucien had been looking for the outsiders who might be suspicious in secret, hoping to find the night watchers and get the intelligence that he needed. Therefore, the fact that it was "late at night" and "professional camouflage" alone were worthy of attention.
Without stopping, Lucien kept moving forward until he entered the slum and found a dark corner. After making sure that he was out of the detection range of other people, he gathered his spiritual power and instantly cast Truth See. Then he changed his appearance again and walked out of the slum in a hurry.
When he returned to the corner, Lucien pretended to take a casual glance at the woman. His pupils were deep and dark.
The sixth-circle astrology spell, Truth Knowing, was a powerful spell that could see through illusions, invisibility, transformations, darkness, obscurity, mirror images, secret doors, and a few special alternate dimensions. With its pair of eyes, the woman's disguise was directly seen through by Lucien due to the difference in their ranks.
"Sophia?"
Lucien recognized the elf-like woman. She was Princess Sophia of the Holy Helvetic Empire. When he saw her, Lucien thought of her horrible father, Rudolf II, who had obviously touched the mysteries of the seven primeval demons and gods. Lucien suddenly felt a headache.
Therefore, when he first recognized Sophia, Lucien, who planned to "kidnap" her and torture her out of the Congress of Magic, gave up the idea. Who knew if the mysterious Rudolf II had projected his image onto his daughter?
Therefore, Lucien slightly shook his head and sped up, ready to leave.
Sophia, who had no idea that she had just escaped, was still pacing back and forth. She was full of disgust for the stinky slum.
After a few steps, Lucien's eyes suddenly froze. A familiar man walked out of the woods by the river. It was Francis!
He was walking towards the corner where Sophia was.
"Since when did they collude with each other?" Lucien slowed down a bit. Feeling Francis's gaze, he forced himself to calm down and walked forward. At this time, another man in a linen robe walked out of the slum. He looked gloomy and violent.
Francis kept staring at Lucien's back until Lucien was far away. Then he nodded to Sophia and the man who walked out of the slum, "Very punctual. Let's go to another place."
… …
After taking a detour, Lucien turned into a mosquito and quietly flew back to the corner. However, Francis, Sophia, and the other two had disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
Lucien could not help but sigh at the vigilance of the three. Then he canceled his plan of going to Ell's follower's place and returned to his house in the slum.
Closing the wooden window and activating the alarm magic circle, Lucien put Francis and the other two out of his mind and focused on finding the hidden danger in his body. If he could not find the source of the inexplicable coldness, Lucien would not be able to sleep or meditate in peace.
"The coldness is more than seventy percent likely to be related to the power of evil and death … Well, let's give it a try!"
Lucien murmured to himself. Suddenly, a layer of silver moonlight appeared on his body. His muscles bulged quickly, but they were not too exaggerated. Instead, they looked streamlined and beautiful. Lucien's aura and pressure became very shocking.
The sixth-circle spell, Baler's Transformation!
This was a spell created by the sorcerers in the late years of the ancient Magic Empire when they summed up the gains and losses of their bloodline fusion experiments. The spell could turn a sorcerer into a Knight of the corresponding level for a certain period of time. The specific type of knight depended on one's bloodline. Therefore, in terms of strength, agility, reflexes, willpower, and the degree of Moonlight Transformation, Lucien was now equal to a real level-six Knight.
Taking out Pale Justice from his magic pouch, Lucien took a few deep breaths. Then he slowly raised the sword and slashed back at himself.
The plain sword contained a horrifying power. Before the sword even reached his forehead, Lucien's heart was already beating fast. He could not help but want to stop.
At this time, the coldness and pressure came out of his left hand. Lucien's willpower, which was transformed from his spiritual power, got rid of the fear of death. Lucien's wrist did not tremble at all.
The coldness and sharpness of the sword cut through his forehead. The shadow of death covered Lucien's whole body.
Suddenly, a layer of metallic luster lit up on Pale Justice, bringing out indescribable gentleness and firmness. At the same time, Lucien heard a shrill cry in his ears. His soul and body suddenly relaxed.
His hands stopped abruptly. Pale Justice happened to stop right in front of his forehead. The coldness and sharpness of the sword made goosebumps all over his body. Behind Lucien, a twisted pale face screamed in pain and turned into smoke.
"Someone really did something to me!"
"No wonder Ramiro and I came all the way here to meet!"
"So it's not a coincidence!"
Lucien, who was always gentle and reserved, could not help but show a sullen expression on his face. A trace of blood came out from his forehead, which made him look extremely ferocious.
"No one did anything to my memory. Was it because they were worried that my questions would explode their heads?"
"Does this count as the additional immunity of the titles' Head Crusher 'and' Skull Crusher '?"
