Chapter 278 The Legend of Our Lady of Thorns
[You have entered the world of original sin. 】
【Do you want to spend 360 power points to temporarily obtain the universal language translation function of this plane? 】
Bai Pu squinted his eyes, and from just these two tips, he tasted a different taste.
Both he and Blood Spider chose "Yes".
Blood Spider said: "I remember that the previous entry prompts all said 'Welcome to the plane world of xx', and every time you enter a world, you can spend power points to obtain the language of this plane, and the appearance and clothing will also be changed." The adjustment will not arouse the suspicion of the indigenous people. This time, it seems to be different."
"Maybe this is the peculiarity of the matrix plane... Do you feel that this plane does not seem to be the same. Under the jurisdiction of the will of the spirit world? That's why the will of the spirit world doesn't say "Welcome"."
The blood spider nodded, a little excited and a little nervous.
[Original Sin World]
[Time: End of the Third Age]
[Region: Original Sin Continent]
[Strength: 3.6]
[Background: Everyone is born with original sin. The first person to embrace suffering, shed his blood in the thorns, and gained the favor of God, was the Virgin of Thorns. Some lucky imitators gained strength through suffering. The Church of Thorns was established, and the holy war to unify the continent's faith began, but the Thornslayers would never give in...]
Bai Pu scanned the prompts for the will of the spirit world, focused on the background, and then swam Look around and observe the environment of the original sin world.
This place is a bit similar to the environment in the world of inner demons. The depressing and dull feeling in the heart is amplified ten times! The gray clouds in the sky rendered the sun pale, just like the winter sun, pale and weak.
[Main Mission Step 1: Overcoming Thorns]
[Mission Objective: Kill 10 Thorns Fanatics, 3 Thorns Holy Warriors, and 1 Thorns Priest. 】
[Task period: 7 days. 】
[Task Difficulty: A]
[Completion Reward: Power Points +10000]
[Failure penalty: 30,000 power points]
The blood spider said with a little surprise: "The main mission actually comes automatically, and we don't need to trigger it ourselves."
"This is an advance response. Our camp has made restrictions..."
Bai Pu frowned and said, "According to the interpretation of the background information, there should be two main camps in the original sin world: the Church of Thorns that believes in the doctrine of suffering, and the Church of Thorns that resists the Church of Thorns 'Thornbreaker'...
"According to common sense, we will have a few days of exploration time and can freely choose one of these two camps to do the main task, but the will of the spirit world has shown such an obvious The tendency is very abnormal. ”
"Does this mean that there is a huge gap in strength between the two camps?" Blood Spider can be considered an expert in the main mission.
Bai Pu nodded slightly: "I'm afraid there are deeper factors besides the strength gap."
"The punishment for this main mission is not high, only 30,000 psychic points will be deducted. . We can first observe which camp is worth joining." Blood Spider suggested.
Bai Pu felt that the blood spider was a little different from usual. It talked more and seemed to be trying hard to express itself.
He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and walked forward with the blood spider. Along the way, the scenery he saw became more and more bizarre.
There was a rabbit with blood-red eyes, which crashed into the big tree again and again, and died on the side of the road with a bloody head.
Next to him is a wild wolf that is skinny and hungry, their bellies almost touching each other. The wild wolf was lying lazily on the ground, showing no intention of eating the rabbit carcass so close to him.
In the jungle, some very wild plants appeared. There was a beech tree. The trunk was actually split into three branches. The branches hung down from three directions, revealing the unobstructed white heart of the tree.
Fortunately, these weird animals and plants are only a few. Most of the animals and plants are pretty normal.
Bai and Pu met a woodcutter who was walking with a bundle of firewood on his back.
The weird thing is that the woodcutter was walking while whipping his thighs with thorny thorn branches, and at the same time shouting loudly: "Our Lady of Thorns! Please forgive me, a sinner!"
The woodcutter's legs were dripping with blood, but he didn't care at all. Even when he saw Bai Pu and Blood Spider, two outsiders with strange costumes and incompatible with this world, he turned a blind eye, with only fanatical expression on his face. expression.
"Follow him. You should be able to find the aboriginal settlement." Bai Pu said in a low voice.
The two of them followed the woodcutter in silence, and the woodcutter showed no fear or doubt at all.
The three of them walked into a village strangely.
An open space in the village was crowded with people.
A man wearing a priest's robe and an iron crown of thorns stood on a higher platform and shouted loudly:
"We are born with original sin, and only suffering can Let us be saved!
“Suffering is the grindstone of the soul. Suffering is the source of strength!
“Let me tell you about the legend of Our Lady of Thorns.
“At first, under the revelation of God, Our Lady realized the original sin she carried. The Virgin took off her clothes, removed all coverings, and lay naked among the thorns, letting the thorns prick her skin and bleed out.
“Whenever the blood stopped flowing, the Virgin would fall to the ground and pray. Sensed by her piety, the thorns continued to grow, pricking holy marks on her body. In this way, after seven days and seven nights, the Virgin After all her blood was shed, she washed away her sins, gained God's favor, entered the Kingdom of God, and gained the power of immortality.
"The Virgin could have stayed in the Kingdom of God. But she is willing to return to the Original Sin Continent in order to save the confused lamb and walk on this continent in place of God. Praise the Blessed Mother, praise suffering! "
There were waves of voices in the audience: "Praise the Virgin, praise the suffering! ”
The priest wearing an iron crown of thorns, with a pious tone, shouted loudly: "There are many examples of God's favor!"
"In the church of God, there is a devout believer who pours molten gold On one's own body. Such novel pain was also favored by God. From then on, he became a golden statue, gained the great title of 'The Gilded One', and was respected by countless believers!
"There is also a devout believer in the church of God. He tied himself to a log. He would not sleep or drink or eat. After forty-nine days, he also got the blessing of God. With his favor, he gained the great title of 'The Bound One' and was also respected by countless believers."
"So, believe in the thorns and embrace the suffering! This is God's guidance, this is yours. Wealth!”
Under the influence of the priest, the people below fully demonstrated the diversity of human species. Some beat their chests with their fists, and some knelt down to pray for God’s grace, beating their heads until their blood broke. flow, and some even lay down on the ground and gnawed the soil on the spot...
Bai Pu and Blood Spider looked at each other.
"There is no need to consider the Church of Thorns camp anymore...this is a group of lunatics!"
