Chapter 207 Church of the Goddess of Natural Life
Now that the door is open, let’s go in!
The starry sky walked into the church through the doorway, the "Old Code" flew to one side, and a ball of magic light rose.
Soft light illuminates the interior of the church.
The place where the starry sky stood at this time was an auditorium. The space was very spacious. The high hemispheric dome was painted with lush trees and green vines representing "life".
There are rows of wooden seats on both sides of the auditorium, and trees and vines are also painted on the glass windows on the left and right walls, expressing the solemnity and sacredness of "life".
There is a seat on the front dais. The seat is made of a lush vine and is filled with colorful flowers among the green leaves. But inside this chair, which was covered with green leaves and flowers, sat a mummy.
I don’t know how long the mummy has been dead. It is wearing an ancient jazz uniform, with sparse hair and skin like old vines. However, I don't feel any discomfort and horror in this mummy. Instead, I feel that it is very kind, as if it is integrated with the green leaves and flowers, and is full of vitality.
Xingkong walked towards the ceremony platform, and Filolo followed.
The sound of two pairs of leather boots stepping on the marble floor echoed repeatedly in the open hall, adding to the sense of solemnity.
"Meow!"
A black cat jumped out of nowhere, jumped on the mummy's lap, and let out a protest cry at the approaching starry sky.
"Meow!"
The sound was deafening after the superposition of echoes.
The starry sky stopped moving forward.
The black cat stopped meowing and lay on the mummy's lap, combing its fur leisurely.
At this time, a man in a green cloak walked out from the side of the podium. The man was hunched over and holding a cane in his hand. The thick hood of the cloak covered his face, and he walked slowly, as if he would fall over if the wind blew.
The hunchback walked behind the mummy, and the rickety body was completely blocked by the chair.
The old and feeble voice came from behind the chair: "This is the 'Natural Life Goddess Church'. If the guests come to pray, please come back tomorrow morning. You can get a bottle of holy water for free. Use it Watering the 'sacred orange tree' at home can speed up the growth of the holy fruit."
Xingkong took off his hat, revealed a mechanical skull, and said in a mechanical voice: "The 'Natural Life Goddess Church' was established by a group of undead. ', what an unexpected disguise!
I'm looking for gray light. "
The auditorium fell into silence.
The black cat on the mummy's lap stopped licking its fur, its yellow eyes stared blankly at the starry sky, and then spoke in a human voice: "What are you? thing? "
Green light shines in the starry sky's eye sockets, exuding the breath of the undead: "I come on behalf of Claude. "
The black cat stood up and continued to stare at the starry sky and asked: "What kind of undead are you? ”
Two bats flew down from the dome, then transformed into vampires and stood on the chairs on both sides, their red eyes filled with bloodthirsty hostility.
"Mechanical undead..." Xingkong took off one of his gloves, showed his mechanical palm, and then said: "Firoro!"
Firoro burst out with fierce momentum. , his eyes swept across the two vampires from left to right, and the shocked vampire fell down from the chair.
Looking at the black cat again, all the hair on the black cat’s body exploded.
Then a dry hand was placed on the black cat's back, stroking it gently.
The mummy moved, he looked at the starry sky, and then looked at Philoro with complicated eyes.
“I didn’t expect that the Claulund family still has such a powerful high-ranking undead. They are worthy of being descendants of the Duke of the Undead. Even after hundreds of years of decline, they still have a strong heritage.” The mummy said: “You You can call me 'Gumu'. What's your name and that of this high-ranking undead?" Xingkong put on his hat: "My name is Xingkong, and this is Filolo."
Gumu said: "What is the purpose of your coming?"
"On behalf of the current head of the Cloulund family, Helot Cloulund, I am making inquiries to the Gray Light Society. What do you think about the second generation of the Undead Duke?" Is the 'hermit's' promise still valid? ”
Gu Mu didn't answer immediately.
The black cat quickly calmed down under his touch and lay on his lap again.
The starry sky waits patiently.
After a while, Gu Mu said: "The decline of the Claulund family is an accident and tragedy for the 'hermit' and us. The undead and the necromancer have also entered the trough since then, and were Misunderstood, hunted.
The deep prison provides shelter for the undead, and also provides shelter for desperate necromancers. We all hope that the Claude family will one day revive and bring undead magic to the forefront of the world. But the wait was too long until one day, we completely lost hope in the Claude family...
Hope you can understand. ”
“Of course we understand! Xingkong said: "But this cannot be used as a reason to break the oath." What the Deep Prison is doing now is very dangerous. You are blaspheming the original intention of the 'hermits' to establish the Deep Prison, and pushing the undead to the opposite side of the living... Pushing them further and further, they will eventually become mortal enemies! ”
“Isn’t the undead the opposite of living beings? "
"What is here? "Xingkong stretched out his hands and directed everything in the auditorium: "This is not a disguise, it is your love for life! Only by recognizing life can one recognize death. The undead magic that Claude knows is definitely not aimed at killing living beings. The undead is another kind of life!
Life is the past of the dead, death is the projection of life..."
The black cat on Gu Mu's lap looked at the starry sky with light in its eyes. It said, "I believe you represent Claude and are not a test of us by the corpse stitcher."
Gu Mu touched the black cat. Head: "I also believe that you represent Claude. If the corpse stitcher understands what death is, he will not be a corpse stitcher."
It turns out that what he said just now was all a temptation.
Xingkong asked expectantly: "Your promise?"
But Gu Mu still replied: "It takes too long, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will decay and collapse, and the same will be true for oaths. We undead Just insisting on exploring the relationship between life and death, and remembering the teachings given to us by the 'Hermit' does not mean that we are loyal to Claude.
If you want us to rebel against the Deep Prison, I'm afraid it will be in vain. "
A voice came: "They come, but they can only return without success. What if it was me? "
Gu Mu and Black Cat looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a person walking in from the open doorway.
Two vampires rushed over to stop him.
Suddenly, a bat jumped out from behind the person and turned into a female vampire. Its fangs were exposed. The power of the upper vampire scared the two vampires and immediately stopped their movements and moved aside.
It was Helot who walked in.
He knew that Xingkong could not handle the "gray light", so Xingkong's role was only to determine the attitude of these undead towards Claude, and the real negotiations needed to be done by himself.
So after Xingkong left, he followed with Breshni.
