Chapter 315 Multiple Choice Question
In a somewhat crowded underground wine cellar.
Sam was startled a little when he heard the sound.
Because he hadn't noticed before that someone was already waiting in the basement.
The other party seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Rena Monya."
The beautiful girl stood up, bowed, and introduced her name with a smile.
"You are the new members recruited by the Qiuzhi Church for the first time. In order to follow the tradition, we will complete the first ceremony."
Led by a girl named Lena, Sam listened in a daze as the other party repeated the teachings of the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
Sam memorized all the teachings on seeking knowledge.
He originally thought that there would be some process of following the guide and reciting the words.
Sam also wondered if he would appear more pious if he could recite it.
It turned out not to be the case at all.
The other person is retelling the whole process, so they don't have to do anything, just listen quietly.
The next "step" of the ritual shocked Sam even more.
…
The seeker believer in black robe who led them to the underground wine cellar suddenly raised his arm, pointed directly at Rena, and shouted:
"Evil God! Heretic!"
Sam's heart: "No, friend?"
He was completely confused at this moment.
Not only him.
Other newcomers who planned to join the religion were also confused.
The style of this scene is a bit too explosive.
"He is obviously a believer who seeks knowledge, right?"
"He believes in the god of knowledge, right?"
How can you still say that your beliefs are evil gods and heretics?
This must be considered blasphemous!
Aren’t you afraid of being punished by God and abandoned by the gods?
Moreover, the more Sam listened, the more he felt that this guy's voice sounded familiar to him.
The other person is probably someone he knew before!
In Sam's confusion, the ritual process continued.
Reina calmly introduced the great power of the God of Knowledge and His selfless act of blessing every believer.
"Please repeat the prayer after me."
"Place your faith in the God of Knowledge, and He will respond to your requests and guide you in the right direction."
Finally, Reina ended with these two sentences.
Sam breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally entered a stage he was familiar with.
Recite the prayer and offer your faith.
The painting style of this step is finally back to normal.
But the process of the ceremony still did not go as Sam expected.
Lena and the black-robed seeker of knowledge recited the prayer so fast that they were finished before Sam and the others had time to repeat it.
Sam was confused again.
"No, what about me?"
Shouldn't this step lead them step by step?
Why did those two people speed pass directly?
The scene fell into silence for a few seconds.
Until the black-robed seeker of knowledge shouted:
"Hey! I'm done!"
"I'm a mage now!"
A bright ball of light condensed in his hand.
Standard [Lighting] magic effect.
As the light ball rose into the air, the originally dark basement was illuminated.
Sam tilted his head and continued to be confused.
These two people are obviously believers seeking knowledge, and almost everyone knows that each of the believers is a spell caster.
"What does it mean to be a mage now?"
"Didn't you do it before?"
The girl Reina smiled and turned sideways, pointing to a simple door at the end of the basement.
"Step into this door and seek to know the future of everything in the world."
…
Wait until the black-robed believer who seeks knowledge opens the door and walks in.
Reina then gestured to the 50 newcomers including Sam:
"If you want to believe in Novan, the great god of knowledge, please be like him and repeat the prayer as I do, and just step through the door." This time, Reina's prayer changed to normal speed.
She recited a sentence, and Sam hurriedly repeated it.
In the small underground wine cellar, a neat voice echoed:
"In the endless universe..."
"..."
“…May your truth shine upon the earth!”
The content of the entire prayer is not very long. It only took a few minutes to complete the entire prayer.
Sam blinked.
"It seems...nothing has changed?"
According to the speed-passing process of the black-robed believer with a familiar voice, they should have mastered the [Illumination] magic by this time, right?
Didn’t the other party release magic directly after reciting the prayer?
Sam felt that his body and condition... were still the same as before.
He has heard that if you can receive blessings from the gods, you will have a feeling in the dark, as if a switch has been turned on in the depths of your mind, and you can master the corresponding magic or divine skills without a teacher.
But Sam didn't feel like he was self-taught at all.
Something to say.
Because he only ate a few pieces of fruit in the evening, and it was already midnight, he felt a little hungry.
"Could it be because...the God of Knowledge doesn't like me and doesn't intend to bless me..."
A thought came to Sam that made him extremely depressed.
Originally, he thought that this god was just like what the believers who sought knowledge preached, and that as long as they offered their faith, they would be able to receive His gifts.
But he still didn't seem to get anything.
"Step into this door and seek to know the future of everything in the world."
In the quiet underground wine cellar, the voice of the girl Reina sounded particularly beautiful.
"This is the final step in the initiation ceremony."
The fire of hope was rekindled in Sam's heart!
It turns out that the ceremony has not been completed yet!
One more step!
He still has hope!
Sam followed the others and walked quickly towards the simple wooden door.
The person walking in front reached out and opened the wooden door.
The man's footsteps suddenly stopped!
“Hiss——”
A gasping sound was made.
It's not just him.
The few people behind him who saw the scene inside the door also stopped in a hurry!
Standing still in confusion.
The people in front did not step through the door immediately, so the queue behind them also came to a standstill.
Sam was still a little confused.
Until he stretched his neck hard and saw the scene behind the door:
Gray fog.
Like the thick gray mist wrapped around the misty valley.
At this time, it was quietly flowing behind the door.
…
Sam felt his heart skip a beat.
He wouldn't even think of killing him.
The initiation ceremony of the Qiuzhi Church actually required him to step into the gray mist himself!
That is the legendary gray mist that can swallow up all life and cannot be analyzed or dispelled!
No wonder the people in front didn’t dare to step into it immediately.
Sam subconsciously looked back at where the girl Reina was.
"Where are the people?"
The other party disappeared without knowing when.
in other words.
There are only 50 of them left in the underground wine cellar.
At the stairs entering the basement, a faint blue arrow lit up.
There is a line of text in the same color below:
"If you want to give up, leave here."
This sentence seems to have been cast with the magic of "knowledge of words", and even people who are illiterate can understand its meaning.
Moving forward, stepping into the gray fog, life and death are difficult to know.
Go backwards, give up your faith, and get out safely.
"call----"
Sam let out a long breath.
This multiple-choice question was not difficult for him at all.
…
There is one more update, posted before 19:30.
