Chapter 801 Clerk of the Earthly Courtyard
When Araz Trincas finished reading the letter, his hands trembled slightly, but he did not tear it open immediately.
At that moment, he was full of contradictions and hesitations.
There is a proverb in his hometown of Irkos: The devil is always good at using witchcraft to create the things that others desire most to confuse people's hearts.
He is not an impulsive young man.
Even if there is some desire deep in my heart to know more at this moment, even if the other person satisfies his desire for words.
He didn't tear open the envelope on a whim.
Because he had heard too many rumors about demons bewitching humans. In those stories, demons always used wonderful witchcraft and tricks to lure ignorant people into going astray step by step.
And this letter from the earthly courtyard is like the temptation of the devil in those stories, full of irresistible attraction.
But the reality is cruel.
When the curly-haired young man Araz returned to the city of Irkos and faced the ruthless persecution of the Daevite blood priest Afar Nikinos, his fate seemed to have already made his choice.
*

Araz Trincas's heartbeat suddenly accelerated the moment he stepped into Irkos City.
As soon as the curly-haired young man entered the city of Irkos with his left foot, the bloody Daevite tree golems stared at him, and he saw Afar Nikinos "conquering in person"
——There is no plot in the story where the prophet is tested one after another through indirect means, and then the prophet overcomes obstacles all the way and passes through layers of difficulties.
Some are just the blood sacrifices of the Daeva clan. The lion and the rabbit also use their full strength!
On that day, the curly-haired young man saw the most complete tree golem in the entire city of Irkos.
Its body is large enough to cover the entire street.
Its outline looks like a monster crawling out of the abyss of hell. Its body is 12 meters high, and branches like cherry tree branches grow on its spherical trunk. Symbols of death and terror can be seen everywhere.
Its eyes are engraved with stylized patterns, and the shadows of the Daevites are hidden in each of the seven eye sockets. The paintings on the skulls are full of roars and wailings, which makes people feel heart palpitations.
A circle of strange symbols is engraved on the back, like some ancient forbidden art. The pictogram with a radius of 26 centimeters carries a strong sense of threat and seems to be able to resist any external fire and corrosion.
Araz's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it. Those complex symbols and the unimaginable power in it deeply shocked his nerves.
The golem's three wooden tubes protrude from the front of its torso, silent and fierce.
They have holes at the ends, as if they are waiting for some order or power to be inspired.
And its wooden legs make people dare not look directly at it.
The legs were decorated with gruesome drawings, depicting the cold killings of Daevite soldiers, soldiers fighting monsters, tree golems besieging cities, and slaves being sacrificed to the Daevite "matriarch" .
Each painting embodies endless violence and oppression, just like these past scenes are being resurrected from the demon body.
The sight of the curly-haired young man Araz finally fell on the hand-shaped groove on the lower part of the golem's left leg. In the middle of the groove, four words in the Daevite language were written.
——"Dedicated to the Conqueror".
These letters seem to be some kind of evil call, full of irresistible temptations and threats.
Each wooden toe of the golem, the three long toes are as hard as iron, seeming to be waiting for the arrival of some uninvited guest.
Strangely, Araz felt no fear at that moment.
He only felt a strange shock. He seemed to be able to see the terror and despair in the entire city of Irkos, condensed into an invisible oppression under the gaze of this tree golem.
This was not the war and sacrifice he had imagined, but an endless vortex sinking into darkness.
[Detection of civilization continuation-related individuals approaching the adjacent value range——]
[The hidden entry is showing——]
[Entry·Activation of automatic secretary ability——]
[Automatic Record·Diva-War Tree Golem (Survival of Civilization·Legacy of the Children of the Night?)]
Just before he fully understood all this, the strange power from the "courtyard" suddenly struck.
At that moment, Araz felt that some dormant power in his body was activated
——This is a feeling he has never experienced before, like he has suddenly gained some ancient memory, and thousands of words are rushing through his mind.
"Heaven·Earthly Courtyard Genealogy (Blue Book)" - flashed in the back of his mind.
It was a book cover that could display a flat projection map of the world with the North Pole as the center and equidistant azimuth angles.
The pattern is supported by a wreath of crossed golden olive branches, which contrasts with the white water on a foggy blue background. The projection range of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and the latitude is composed of five concentric circles
Immediately afterwards, another invisible book emerged, which was a book that automatically recorded and transcribed.
It unfolded before his eyes and began to record everything he saw at an indescribable speed.
The details of the tree golem, the texture of the branches, the bloody symbols, and every horrific scene depicted are all accurately recorded in this mysterious book.
The pages of the book turned before his eyes, and each record solidified in an instant, turning into his new understanding of the world.
The curly-haired young man Araz was shocked by this sudden power. He had never seen such a true and detailed record.
It was as if he had entered a whole new realm.
All fears, all the past, and all the future are touched and conveyed in this book. And when his eyes scanned the last page of the book, he suddenly realized his mission
——He was born to record some great things or existences... Clerk!
However, just as he was shocked by this power, the huge tree golem behind him raised its ferocious fist without hesitation.
There was no emotion on the face of blood priest Afar Nikinos, only cold eyes and the purest murderous intention.
In his eyes, Araz is no longer a person, but a threat that must be destroyed - a dissident who dares to challenge the supreme authority of Daeva.
Boom——
The golem's fist was like a huge shadow, oppressing the sight of the curly-haired young man Araz.
Ding——
However, at that moment, Araz felt his chest shake slightly, and a strange power awakened in his body.
Then, he saw his secretary, floating in mid-air, slowly emerging.
The pages of the secretary are engraved with images of blood-sacrifice tree golems.
The page suddenly burst into intense light, illuminating the surrounding air and instantly breaking through the shadow of the golem.
A projection that looked exactly like the Blood Sacrifice Tree Golem appeared in front of Araz.
The projection completely replicated the form of the golem, even the details were exactly the same.
Its wooden surface, its sharp wooden claws, and the carved symbols on its head all appeared clearly in the air, like a ghostly phantom.
Afar Nikinos's face instantly turned pale.
There was a flash of shock in his eyes, and then it turned into crazy anger. The feeling of betrayal made him almost lose his mind, and a burst of crazy murmurs came out of his mouth:
"You...you heretic! You are indeed...you are indeed a threat to the rule of our Daeva tribe in the city-state!
How dare you!
How dare you imitate our sacred things like this!
Do you know what this means?
This is a desecration of sacred objects and an insult to blood sacrifice!
You are destined to pay the heaviest price for this! ”
His voice became more and more shrill, almost hysterical:
"This tree golem is the incarnation of the Daevite gods and the symbol of our sacred blood sacrifice!
You dare to copy it in front of me today, and tomorrow you dare to desecrate the sacred site of Daeva.
You - you have betrayed our most sacred laws and blasphemed, and your sin cannot be forgiven!
Your existence is no longer a simple threat, but a curse to our tribe! You don't deserve to live in this world! ”
The blood priest's ravings became more and more fanatical. The curly-haired young man hoped that the summoned golem could block the opponent. Unfortunately, the thing engraved on the secretary looked decent, but he was torn apart in two or three times in front of the real golem of the Daeva Blood Sacrifice.
The demon in front of him was approaching at an extremely fast speed, and he could clearly feel the breath of death lingering around him.
At this critical moment of life and death, Araz's hand suddenly reached to his waist and took out the admission notice to the Earthly Courtyard.
At this moment, this letter became his only hope.
He tore open the envelope and took out the letter without hesitation.
The letter was like a living thing in his hand, instantly integrated into his consciousness, and the words inside quickly emerged, spreading from his heart like veins.
The words of the principal Hugh Abraham mentioned at the end of the letter were like a call, guiding him to the other end of his destiny
——"Accept the test of fate, bravely tear apart this moment, and tear off the shackles of fate."
Araz's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he felt that his palms began to sweat, but at this moment, he did not hesitate at all.
Subconsciously, he whispered the brief and solemn prayer:
Read the error-free version in 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩ! 6Ⅹ9 Shuyiba publishes a novel for the first time. Liujiu Book Bar Reading
"The principal is on top, Abraham is on top, bless me!"
This is the first time in his life that he has prayed so devoutly to this strange name. This sentence carries all the uneasiness, all the confusion and the deep dependence on the future.
As he whispered, the call from the unknown power became clearer.
Araz suddenly tore open the letter, and the tearing of the paper was accompanied by an explosion of light that shocked the soul.
When the letter is torn, it is like tearing open the veil of the entire world, revealing the endless mysteries behind it.
Suddenly, an extremely sacred symbol appeared in the sky——
A [∞] symbol composed of a Möbius strip is radiant and exudes a holy atmosphere.
It was a symbol that transcended all the rules in the world, seemed to represent infinite power and authority, and symbolized true judgment and redemption.
The Möbius strip slowly expanded from the paper and began to form a bright ring-shaped beam, opening a crack in the air, like a door to space being opened.
The fear in the eyes of the blood priest Afar Nikinos instantly appeared. His eyes widened and his lips trembled. The sight in front of him made him almost unable to believe what he saw:
"No! Heaven..."
He almost used up all his strength to roar loudly, but his voice was swallowed up in the increasingly intense light.
The beam of light shot out from the Möbius belt, and suddenly hit the golem's abdomen like a divine punishment, instantly creating a huge hole. The huge metallic sound was deafening, and the blood-sacrifice tree golem was violently affected by this blow. Shaking until it was exploded by the strong light, the entire huge demon statue collapsed, and the broken wood was scattered on the ground, like rotten trees, being mercilessly crushed into ruins.
The surrounding space also began to undergo strange folding phenomena following this blow.
The feeling of bending and dislocation in the air made the curly-haired young man's vision blur for a while, and everything became unreal. The space was rapidly collapsing, and cracks spread like ripples, as if time and space itself was being torn apart at this moment.
The blood priest Afar Nikinos could no longer control himself. Blood spurted out from his mouth. His lips turned purple and his eyes were filled with fear and anger.
He looked down at the beam of light and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Struggling, his legs could barely support his body, and he finally fell to the ground.
The indescribable anger and powerlessness caused all the muscles in his body to twitch, and he struggled to stand up, but was unable to move.
There was an extremely desperate look in his eyes, and he let out hysterical roars:
"The fourth sword bearer in heaven!!!!!!!"
This angry cry echoed in the air for a long time, as if it wanted to penetrate every inch of land in Irkos City and reach the sky.

In the intertwining of light and pain, Alaz Trinkas's consciousness gradually sank, and finally lost consciousness.
The climax of the story, the collapse of the Blood Sacrifice's golem, and the cracks and beams of light brought about by the Möbius belt, are like a change that shakes the world.
When all the noise finally fell silent, the curly-haired young man's body and mind once again entered another state.
When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him was completely different from the world before
——He is no longer in those broken streets, and he is no longer facing the pursuit and threat of death.
The air around you is soft and fresh, as if countless layers of heavy burdens have been lifted away in an instant, replaced by an indescribable sense of tranquility and mystery.
He opened his eyes and what he saw stunned him for a moment.
This place was not any place he was familiar with. There was no hustle and bustle of modern cities around, and there was no such turbid air.
There was a faint fragrance floating in the air, and warm sunlight shone on him through the transparent ceiling, and the light was as soft as water.
This is not the world he has experienced before.
Later he learned that this was the legendary hub of the courtyard - Whispering Square.
Here, the curly-haired young man is no longer the down-and-out fisherman, but a distinguished guest who has received noble treatment.
Those who greeted him were the members of the Everchanging Workshop family.
——These strange beings with the ability to shape-shift, they are the nominal managers of the Whispering Square, and they are also shape-shifters who surrender to Hugh Abraham and serve this courtyard with infinite power.
The shapeshifters greeted Araz with an almost reverent attitude.
The way they treated Araz was as if the young man was destined to have an inseparable connection with the world.
They took him through all the preparation tasks arranged by the courtyard in the admission letter.
Every step seemed orderly.
After all this was completed, Araz ushered in this moment of turning.
The talker of the Everchanging Workshop family, Mira Wanxiang calls herself "the most loyal servant under the gaze of the golden eyes."
He gave the curly-haired young man a "tuition fee" and respectfully sent him aboard the first bus from the present world to the Deep 5 world at the Gate of Purgatory platform.
When Araz stepped into the train, the door of the carriage was gently closed behind him. The surrounding light instantly became extremely intense, and the light of the entire world converged here and swept over him.
The light was so intense that it almost made him feel unbearably hot, but it never gave him any pain. Instead, it had a warm power, like a mother's embrace, containing all his uneasiness and doubts.
As the carriage gradually started to move, everything in the outside world quickly became blurred, and the originally familiar world seemed to be cut into pieces in an instant and disappeared out of sight. Araz could feel a subtle resonance between the carriage and the space beneath him, and everything began to enter another dimension.
The distant scenery gradually became out of reach, the boundaries of time and space became blurred, and the interior of the carriage seemed to have entered another brand new world - an unknown deep five world.
This filled Araz's heart with complex emotions: excitement, curiosity, nervousness, and an unprecedented desire.
He is a little confused, but his heart is extremely determined - he is embarking on a new journey of his own.
He took a deep breath and felt his body gradually adapt to this all-devouring energy wave.
The memories seem to have solidified at this moment and disappeared in the endless light.
As time passed, Araz turned his gaze out the window, and the hidden curiosity in his heart surfaced again - he urgently wanted to know what kind of person his mysterious principal was.
Hugh Abraham—a name that echoes throughout the courtyard and even countless worlds.
He is not only the helmsman of the courtyard, but also a being who is feared, admired, and even hated by countless people.
A person who can easily change people's destiny and dominate the direction of the world.
Araz had never really seen him, he only saw the line of text with his name in the envelope, but it was like the power wrapped in mysterious runes, pushing him far into the unknown abyss or heaven.
He was curious, what kind of face was hidden behind that mysterious, almost legendary existence?
What depth and wisdom can he see in this character's eyes? He vaguely felt that the moment he met Hugh Abraham, he would suddenly understand his mission and even understand why he was chosen to become a member of the courtyard.
However, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden scene——
The curly-haired young man Araz saw a scene that he would never forget, a scene that made him know the most disgusting and bone-chilling scene of the principal in the earthly courtyard.
That is the tyranny of the final day;
That is the purest manifestation of intimidation by the sword holder;
That is the glow of destruction...
