But the old bishop was still awake …
"Who are you going to kill this time … Oh no, who are you going to persuade?"
Reynolds explained what he and Lilianlo had discovered as he changed his clothes. He even handed over the map that outlined the general shape of the barrier.
The old bishop looked at the map carefully, but he could not understand it at all. Out of habit, he assumed a divination posture and tried to divine the barrier.
This time, he was not interrupted by the sense of danger from before. However, the final petal that confirmed the result shattered into thin strands in the air …
The divination was severely disrupted and did not yield any results.
But in fact, this phenomenon was also a result. It showed that the barrier was very dangerous and was the work of a high-level existence.
He quickly got up and went back to his room to find a few old books and started reading.
In the end, the page stopped at a complicated and gorgeous magic circle diagram. The complicated patterns made one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.
Beside the diagram, there were lines of annotations written in the ancient common language.
Reynolds did not understand the ancient common language at all. The old bishop had dabbled in it a little, but he was not proficient. He could only refer to the dictionary and barely translate part of the content.
"The name of this barrier is … Uh, this word no longer exists in the modern language, but its meaning is …"
"The moment of reaping pain and despair …"
Just the name alone made Reynolds and the old bishop's expression become very serious.
The old bishop continued to translate.
"This … This is not a simple barrier, but a ritual!"
"A ritual to summon the Mother of Desire, Eas!"
The old bishop's face turned pale as he exclaimed.
"How is this possible? How can such a ritual be reproduced in this era? "
"Since the end of the ancient divine war, which ended with the expulsion of the evil gods by the righteous gods, such a dangerous ritual, be it the relevant knowledge or the key materials needed, has all been strictly controlled. It should be impossible to set it up again …"
Reynolds was also shocked by the descent of the Evil God and quickly said:
"This Venner, he wants to summon the evil god? How can he be so evil?! "
"And I heard that he's as rich as a country and has many wives. Why would he do something like this to take revenge on society?"
The old bishop shook his head.
"Venner is merely an Archmagus. He might not know the meaning of this ritual … He is most likely just a pawn. Following the orders of some existence, he secretly set up this ritual that even he himself does not know the effects of …"
"This also explains why he would do such a stupid thing when he's living such a comfortable life. He's probably just following the orders of the sect's leader, the demigod sorcerer, Supplicant Carl …"
"That's why my divinations kept failing … As for why a demigod would do such a thing, there are too many possibilities. His thoughts are hard to fathom …"
"But what I don't understand is that this is the Sinless City that is being watched by the Gods … Setting up such a large-scale barrier is no small feat. It would take at least a few years or even more than a decade. How did Venner complete the setup under the eyes of the Gods?"
At this point, the old bishop paused for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look out of the window.
His gaze was incomparably deep. Through the window, he looked at the pitch-black night sky, as if he wanted to spy on those gods high above.
At this moment, the old bishop seemed to understand why Goddess Mia had given him two Divine Artifacts in a row, and both of them were weapons.
The Goddess's previous warning was very likely aimed at this …
He also seemed to understand why the Dragons would send two Dragon Whelps over at this time …
If not for Lilianlo's sharp senses, the Sinless City might have welcomed a huge surprise!
The old bishop retracted his gaze and looked at Renault in front of him.
Renault was a little uncomfortable under the old bishop's gaze.
"Then if I go and kill Venner now, it should be fine, right?"
The old bishop smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"He's just the one who set up the barrier, not the one who controls it. Killing him is meaningless."
"Then what should we do? Wait for Eras to descend and then kill him? "
Renault asked again.
The old bishop was a little confused by the question.
After a while, he said seriously, "Eras is an evil God.
"Uras is a true evil god. Even you can't face him directly …"
Renault was a little discouraged. He looked down at his hands and said regretfully, "Sigh.
"Sigh … If only I were as powerful as Senior Brother …"
"If Senior Martial Brother is still alive, we can fight together!"
The old bishop was speechless. He could only change the topic.
"Let's think of a way to stop his descent. Let's finish reading this notebook first. There might be a solution in it …"
The annotations at the back first introduced the function of the ritual.
"This is the highest level of ritual. Once the setup is complete, Eras's power can descend through the ritual and use part of his Authority …"
"That's why it's so difficult to discover. Eras is the master of lies and can use his Authority to make the ritual have the effect of deceiving and deceiving …"
"Fortunately, the setup of this ritual is extremely complicated. It takes a long time and a lot of rare materials. If you pay a little attention, you'll notice it. It's almost impossible to complete the setup."
When the old bishop read this, Renault could not help but mutter,
"But the barrier is already complete … I've made so many cultists repent …"
The old bishop could hear the self-blame in his voice and quickly comforted him.
"Everyone thinks that the Sinless City is an absolutely safe place because it's under the protection of the Gods …"
"And the cultists that you've dealt with are probably just trying to confuse and deceive the public …"
Renault sighed and asked, "What's the matter?
"Does it say what to do when the barrier is complete?"
The old bishop quickly translated the rest of the content.
"But if you don't notice it in advance and allow the barrier to be completed, you can only pray to the Righteous Gods for divine punishment …"
"But if you don't get an answer, then I suggest …"
"Kill yourself immediately. That way, you won't become a puppet of desire and lies, and degenerate into a terrifying monster …" Renault could not help but sigh at how things had deteriorated. The Goddess' teachings were right …
Think about it, if everyone in the city could be humble and cautious, how could such a scale of ritual enchantment be formed?
The days in the Sinless City were too peaceful …
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this was already starting to happen when you dealt with the cultists and the archaeologist Sandro …"
