Chapter 324 Petitioner
Li Si and Aivar walked towards the direction pointed by the black cat.
Although Aivar didn’t know why Li Si changed direction, he followed Li Si without asking.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Si felt that he had already adapted to the environment of this god island, when he suddenly found that the woods in front of the two of them began to become sparse.
Even the mist floating in the air began to gradually dissipate.
Are you going out?
With a flash of magic, the emerald staff appeared in Li Si's hand, casting protection and buffing spells on him and Aivar.
Seeing this, Aivar also drew his sword and became alert.
The two walked slowly forward, and only the rustling footsteps could be heard echoing around them.
When Li Si and Aivar walked out of the forest, they discovered that it was not the two of them who had left the forest, but a flat open space in the middle of the forest.
Stepping on the blue-gray stone bricks, Li Si and Aivar looked solemnly at a building that suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was a tall altar that was completely white, with exquisite cyan and blue patterns spreading on the jade-white steps, faintly shining with a special light.
There is a special wave stone platform at the top center of the altar. Li Si can vaguely see a blue orb suspended on the stone platform.
There are ten stone steps in the altar from bottom to top. With each step up, the special patterns on the stone steps become more complicated and mysterious. Li Si just looked at it, as if the strong wind and thunder disappeared in front of his eyes. .
It was as if I was in a stormy sea, like a small boat unable to extricate myself, and could only passively bear the impact.
This abnormal feeling made Li Si couldn't help but close his eyes to temporarily relieve some of the mental shock.
The extremely magical-looking altar in front of him was within Li Si's expectation, but to Li Si's surprise, there were several figures kneeling on the stone on the bottom of the altar. above the steps.
With his hands clasped together, he seemed to be praying silently. He was wearing a simple white robe, which seemed to have cyan blue patterns of storms and thunder.
Anyone?
Why are there other people here?
Alive or some kind of monster?
Seeing this unusual situation, Li Si suddenly paid attention.
At this time, Aivar seemed to be still immersed in the influence of the altar just now and had not yet woken up.
Li Si did not wake him up rashly, but carefully observed the people on the altar.
A few steps closer to the altar, Li Si suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the altar.
"My lord Ans Air!
You are the protector of sailors! You are the incarnation of thunder! You are the master of the endless storm!
My lord Ans Air!
You grant us new life! Your kingdom protects the souls of believers and prevents them from returning to nothingness!
My Lord Ans Ayr!
”
Listening to the murmuring voice of prayer, Li Si frowned.
This is praying to the [God of Storm and Thunder Ansel], this is his A believer?
Logically speaking, there is nothing strange about seeing a believer in this small island left by the god Ans Al.
But the most important thing is the one. The gods have been dead for who knows how long. How can there still be believers here?
You must know that although the existence of gods is extremely miraculous, their lives are extremely tenacious and difficult to kill.
As long as his followers are still there, his divinity is still there, and his priesthood is not occupied by others, then this god may still be able to resurrect from the long river of time.
That’s what I say, but the only way for a god to fall is through the action of other gods, or some extremely special circumstances.
Those gods who take action will naturally not allow the enemy to resurrect. They will arrange believers to hunt down and eliminate the believers of the fallen god. They will occupy the other party's priesthood or grant it to others, eliminating some possibilities of resurrection.
The most important thing is that once a god dies, his followers will naturally feel it and their prayers will no longer respond. At the same time, the priest of that god will also lose all his spellcasting abilities and may even lose control. He held the magic power in his body and died on the spot.
Except for the fanatical believers with extremely firm beliefs, most believers are very realistic guys. Once they do not receive blessings, they will give up their faith or transfer their faith to other gods.
So there are too few gods who can return. In Li Si's impression, only the Lord of Dawn and a few other powerful gods have such records. Whether it is true or not is still open to debate.
Li Si does not believe that this [God of Storm and Thunder Ansel] can do the same thing, so what is going on?
“That’s the petitioner!”
The black cat’s voice suddenly sounded in Li Si’s heart, and his words were very serious.
"Petitioner?"
Li Si repeated, somewhat unbelievable.
How is this possible!
Li Si knew very well what a petitioner was.
In other words, anyone who knows little about the Church of the Gods knows about this existence.
The so-called petitioners are believers who devoutly believe in the gods. After their lives come to the end, their souls will not fall into the River Styx and go to the underworld. Instead, they will be led by the gods they believe in into the kingdom of God, where they will gain eternity. life.
This is what all believers of the gods long for, and it is also one of the reasons why they choose to believe in the gods.
Eternal life!
What a tempting word!
The Church of the Gods claims that as long as you enter the Lord’s Kingdom of God, you will receive eternal life and a beautiful life. No matter whether you are a prince, aristocrat, or a commoner beggar, they will be attracted by this and believe in those gods devoutly.
But the actual situation is not as beautiful as the Church of the Gods preaches!
Indeed, as long as the gods do not die and the Kingdom of God is immortal, petitioners will indeed receive eternal life, but this has great limitations.
That is, from now on, you can never leave the kingdom of gods, which is the kingdom of gods.
Similarly, they can almost be regarded as the most devout fanatics. They constantly pray to the gods in the Kingdom of God and provide the gods with the power of faith.
So for the gods, petitioners are an important part of their kingdom.
In Li Si's view, rather than gaining eternity in the Kingdom of God, it is better to say that he has lost all ability to be independent and has become a perpetual motion machine that generates the power of faith.
This is unacceptable to Li Si, and the same is true for most mages.
But for most civilians, life is too difficult. Only faith can soothe their souls. Also, because they have not mastered extraordinary power, they have no expectations for the scenery at higher places.
Even if they know the consequences of becoming a petitioner, they will choose to agree without hesitation.
Having said that, although the petitioners can live with the Kingdom of God forever, when the gods fall, all the petitioners will die in the same way.
Li Si still knows this information, but what is the situation of these people in front of him?
"It is indeed a petitioner. I am very familiar with this situation."
The black cat's voice was full of affirmation and added:
"Sphinx Si has studied this kind of existence and even created a similar existence, so I am familiar with this situation. "
The legendary arcanist is so awesome!
Dare to study anything! The key was figured out for him! Li Si was speechless. He really didn't expect this kind of information.
“As far as I know, the petitioner should die with the fall of the god. Does this mean that the god has not died?”
“ I don’t know!”
The black cat said confidently:
"The Sphinx has only studied it. I don't know the specific situation. I can only confirm that these people are petitioners."
Kill and bury!
Li Si almost had the idea of taking the black cat out of his body and beating him up, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the petitioners.
Here Li Si's mental pressure was even more obvious. No matter how hard he tried, he could not detect the existence of those figures and could only confirm it with the naked eye.
Their entire bodies and faces were shrouded in robes, and the shadows of the hoods on their heads completely obscured their faces, making it impossible for Li Si to detect them.
Even if he got closer, Li Si could feel the breath of the petitioner, as if there was nothing on the altar.
Li Si was not in a hurry. This kind of unexpected situation was too normal in the secret adventure realm.
Now it seems that it may be because of this altar that led to the existence of these petitioners.
As for the possibility that the god is still alive, Li Si feels that the possibility of him having an epiphany and becoming a legendary powerhouse is higher now.
Because Li Si had never heard of the name Ans Ayer in his previous life.
You must know that Li Si was a great power training master in his previous life, so he should have some impression on even the weakest gods.
Gods require belief, and preaching about his gods is the most important thing for his church.
There are gods that do not require belief, but they are extremely powerful beings, and they certainly do not include this "God of Storms".
Since this god has fallen, the existence of the petitioner may be affected by external factors.
Li Si's eyes moved to the middle of the altar and landed on the blue orb.
Is it the influence of this thing?
Around this altar, it seems that due to the passage of time, except for this altar that is still intact, the surrounding broken stone pillars and ruined walls have been covered with a light dust, making people feel silently. A sense of desolation and vicissitudes of life.
If the surrounding forest had not been blocked, Li Si suspected that this area would have been completely swallowed up by the trees.
“Hoo~”
A heavy breathing sound came from behind Li Si. Looking back, he saw Aivar sitting on the ground and gasping for air, as if he had just broken free from the mental influence. come out.
"Stay back a little and stand on the edge of the woods."
Li Si said to Aivar, and he would not care about Aivar when he explored later.
“Yes!”
Aivar did not hesitate at all, and quickly stood up and stepped back, not daring to look at the altar again with lingering fear.
He suffered a lot just now!
It was hellish torture!
Li Si looked at the altar in front of him and tentatively walked in the direction of the altar.
I don’t know what is going on with these petitioners, but it is definitely not possible for Li Si to give up exploration and leave directly.
However, Li Si was also prepared. Although the petitioners were in the Kingdom of Gods and mainly provided the power of faith to the gods, it did not mean that they had no fighting capacity.
All petitioners will be strengthened by the Kingdom of God. Even if they were ordinary people during their lifetime, they are equivalent to extraordinary professionals above the gold level in the Kingdom of God.
Petitioners are the Kingdom’s first line of defense against outside invasion.
Although Ans El's kingdom has been destroyed, it does not mean that these petitioners are not in danger.
As Li Si approached, the four figures on the altar did not move at all.
With his eyes fixed on the petitioners, Li Si slowly approached and tried not to make a sound through the ruins around the altar.
The voice of the prayer gradually became louder, and Li Si heard it more clearly.
Everything went well, and when Li Si tried to step on the altar, the white-robed figures on the lowest stone steps suddenly turned around and looked in Li Si's direction.
These petitioners raised their heads, and Li Si could clearly see their faces under their hoods.
They all looked like very ordinary adults, two men and two women. Their wheat-colored skin looked a little rough, and they looked like residents who lived by the sea all year round.
Their eyes were cold and lifeless, without any expression of intelligence, and they stood there staring at Li Si.
The prayers gradually disappeared and the scene became deadlocked.
Suddenly, Li Si saw the four petitioners raising their hands at the same time, and there was a faint white light flashing.
"Damn it! Are you really going to take the initiative to attack?"
Li Si looked solemn and retreated behind him.
A dazzling light suddenly bloomed in the hands of the four people and struck in the direction of Li Si.
Priest’s divine spell [Scorching Glory]!
The gods have already fallen, so how can they still use divine magic?
This priest skill is somewhat equivalent to the mage's evocation spell [Fireball], but it is more powerful than Fireball.
Magic aura bloomed from the staff in Li Si's hand, and an invisible magic shield surrounded Li Si's body.
Four-ring spell [Advanced Elemental Shield]!
Sixth Ring Spell [Repellent Demon Protection]!
boom!
Three dazzling balls of light hit Li Si's shield in succession. After a tremor, the shield shattered and dissipated in the air.
Li Si quickly dodged the last attack, but felt relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, it seems that perhaps due to the impact of the fragmentation of the Kingdom of God, these petitioners should only have the strength of high-level silver level, and are still a little far away from the gold level.
Still within Li Si’s processing range!
It's not that Li Si is overconfident, the state of these petitioners can be seen from the attack just now.
There is no intelligence at all. Even the attack is just a subconscious action without any coordination.
The most important thing is that it seems that the abilities of these petitioners are all priests!
Ding~
Listening to the soft beep of the system, the corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly, and his figure disappeared into the air.
Assassin combat skill [forced stealth]!
The petitioners raised their heads and seemed not to notice Li Si, so they turned around and continued their previous prayers.
Suddenly, the body of the petitioner on the far right side of the altar froze, and a new magical light condensed on his right hand.
A dark gray shadow suddenly appeared in the mid-air behind him, and a sharp dagger appeared there, suddenly wiping it towards the petitioner's throat.
Ding~
A crisp buzz sounded, and Li Si's figure appeared behind the petitioner.
