As the two of them continued to move downward, a series of roaring sounds appeared in Lin Yi's ears.
Not only that, there are some transparent ghosts looming in mid-air.
Diogakas glanced at the ghosts wandering around and explained to Lin Yi: "These are souls who have pursued knowledge. They have never given up their pursuit of knowledge even after death. This is why there is no one else here now." The reason for patronizing is because these guys are so dangerous.”
At this moment, several ghosts roared towards the two of them.
Diogakas reacted very quickly, and a few rays of cold light flashed across, and the ghosts that rushed up were like fragile glass, being shattered one by one in an instant.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that a large group of dense ghosts had appeared next to the two of them.
These ghosts surrounded the two of them tightly, but they seemed to be afraid and did not dare to step forward rashly.
"Let's go, below is our destination this time."
Diogakas paid no attention to the ghosts around him.
In fact, most of these ghosts did not dare to attack the two of them rashly, but occasionally a few irrational ghosts would dare to rush forward regardless.
Following the stairs, the two came to a large iron gate.
The iron door was very thick. Lin Yi tried knocking, but almost no sound was heard.
Diogakas calmly took out the key that Eddas had given him before and carefully inserted it into a keyhole of the iron door.
As the key was turned, Lin Yi could clearly hear the clicking sounds of the mechanism moving inside the iron door.
After a minute, the sound of the mechanism gradually stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy iron door began to open slowly, and the harsh friction sound was particularly abrupt in this silent space, like a sharp whistle piercing the sky.
As the iron door was fully opened, a strange aroma instantly hit the nostrils.
What appeared in Lin Yi's eyes was an ancient tree with twisted and intertwined branches.
There was a deep carving on the tree trunk, outlining the appearance of a human face.
The most important thing is that this face is actually made of gold. Under the flickering candlelight, it reflects the dazzling golden light.
What is even more surprising is that from the eyes of this golden face, golden hot oil as thin as silk threads slowly flows out.
Those golden liquids were like crystal clear tears, slowly sliding down the cheeks.
Then, it wandered along the rough and uneven texture of the ancient tree bark, and finally disappeared silently into the soil.
When the oil droplets come into contact with the soil, they will make a slight boiling sound and emit a light aroma.
"Master Guard, I'm back."
Diogakas put away the sword in his hand and knelt respectfully in front of the golden face.
As if hearing Diogakas's voice, the golden face branded on the ancient tree by hot oil suddenly opened its eyes.
Although those eyes are empty and have no eyeballs, they seem to be able to see through people's hearts.
Lin Yi could feel very clearly that an invisible line of sight was like a tight net, tightly locked on him.
"Strange little guy." The golden face on the tree said slowly, his voice clearly revealing his strong interest in Lin Yi, "I can deeply feel that the power of miracles is afraid of the power in you. "
"Diogakas, who is this?"
"Sacred Face Guard."
Lin Yi frowned when he heard the name.
This thing is not a so-called guard. In the entire Holy See, not everyone dares to use this title.
The so-called Holy Face Guards were several crucial figures who witnessed the first miracle - the birth of the Twisted Holy Father.
In order to protect this miracle, they jointly founded the Holy See.
After the establishment of the Holy See, a few people were not greedy for power and did not proclaim themselves archbishops or popes. Instead, they called themselves the Guardians of the Holy Face with great humility.
To this day, the position of Holy Face Guard in the Holy See is always vacant, because there is no one in the Holy See who is qualified to inherit this lofty title.
"Ferdinand Barth? Graham Isidor? Or Wilhelmina Robert."
The three names mentioned by Lin Yi are familiar even in the most remote villages on this continent.
These three people are all witnesses of the first miracle, the twisted Holy Father.
Even in the most remote corners, people know these names by heart.
"Sorry, I am not any of the three of them. As for my real name, I have forgotten it. You can just call me the fourth face."
After hearing the three names from Lin Yi's mouth, the hot oil flowing in the fourth face's eyes kept pouring out.
To him, all three were betrayers who had betrayed their beliefs.
"The fourth face? Is it possible that there are four followers of the First Miracle Twisted Holy Father?"
This is not a joke. What the fourth face said is equivalent to saying that the people who ate with Jesus at the last supper were not thirteen people, but fourteen people. It was just the fourteenth person. In the end, all traces were wiped out for various reasons.
The fourth face moved slightly, and countless vines suddenly sprouted from the trunk of the Sanyan Festival tree and wrapped around him tightly, making him unable to move.
"They say my words are false and my appearance is false."
"Because of this, I was betrayed by the other three guards of the Holy Face."
"They betrayed me, inflicted cruel punishment on me, and dug out my eyes. As a result, I can no longer see the truth. Now there is only endless darkness in front of me."
The fourth face revealed why he became what he is now.
According to him, the other three Holy Face guards betrayed him and tied the Fourth Face tightly to a tree. After inflicting capital punishment, they also poured hot gold oil over his head to death.
However, no one expected that a miracle would happen.
The fourth face and the Three-Word Festival tree merged together, and their life forces were intertwined, forming a close connection that was difficult to break away from.
This power given by a miracle was so powerful that even the three guards of the Holy Face could not cut it off.
In desperation, they had to bury the Fourth Face deep underground in an attempt to prevent his words from spreading to the world.
"So, what did you discover that made you targeted like this by the other three?" Lin Yi walked up to the fourth face and asked.
You must know that although the four Holy Face Guards are not biological brothers, due to their common beliefs, the relationship between these people can definitely be said to be as strong as love.
What words did the fourth face say that made the other three holy face guards inflict such a gruesome execution on him.
Even when dealing with heretics, the Holy See today rarely uses such cruel punishments.
"Do you want to get the power of miracles?" the fourth face asked.
Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head slowly, "A miracle? To be honest, I have no interest in that thing at all."
Lin Yi has no intention of believing in some bullshit miracle power. In his opinion, this thing is not a good thing at first glance.
The fourth face fell into a long silence.
He could clearly feel that what Lin Yi said came from the bottom of his heart.
For Lin Yi, the so-called miracle may be as worthless as the inconspicuous foxtail grass on the roadside.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why they would do such a thing to me?" The fourth face said slowly, "The reason is actually very simple, because I got a glimpse of the true face of Miracle."
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Yi, but also Diogakas, who had been kneeling next to him, couldn't help but raise his head, with an extremely surprised expression on his face.
Obviously, this was the first time he heard such an inside story.
"So, what exactly is this so-called miracle?"
Since the Fourth Face holds information about miracles, Lin Yi must listen carefully.
Combat is all about intelligence warfare. With intelligence, it will be easier to prepare.
"The Holy Trinity, the Supreme Will."
The fourth face revealed the truth about the so-called "miracle" in a calm and deep tone, "Please forgive me for using such wording, but in fact, this 'miracle' that is sought after by everyone is just a person with power beyond our understanding. It’s just an advanced creature.”
"The miracles brought by miracles have never truly brought benefits to the public. People torture themselves and endure endless pain in pursuit of its blessings, but this is completely unnecessary.
The blessing of a miracle does not depend on the degree of pain you suffer, but on whether your willpower is strong enough.
As long as your willpower is strong and determined enough, there will be no need to go through painful torture, and miracles will come as scheduled. "
The words of the fourth face revealed deep helplessness and sadness, "When I revealed the truth, I was regarded as a rebellious heretic by the other three.
In order to maintain the unity of the Holy See and prevent my remarks from causing division, they joined forces to restrain me and completely erased my name from the history books.
Today, only the people responsible for managing the library within the Holy See know my true identity. "
Diogakas listened, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Quite simply, this is no longer a simple issue of so-called pagans.
Whether it is the Church of Silence or the Church of the Lickers, although there are differences in the beliefs of the Holy See of Pain, what these churches ultimately pursue is the footsteps of miracles.
Just like people groping in the dark, they are moving towards the faint glimmer of light.
The Fourth Face’s remarks are not just a question of a certain sect, but a complete denial of all sects that pursue miracles.
No wonder the Fourth Face did not tell the former Diogakas these words. If he had heard these words in the past, he would probably think that the Fourth Face was a heretic with no faith.
"Last question, how should I see the so-called Holy Trinity?" Lin Yi asked the most critical question directly without any nonsense.
"The fourth holy seal was found."
"The fourth holy seal? Aren't there only three of them?"
"Those three holy seals represent the other three holy guards, but in fact, I also hold the fourth holy seal in my hand - the holy seal of self-denial. With this holy seal, you can go to the other side of the dream, in Meeting the Holy Trinity at the end of the dream.”
The fourth face said, controlling the tentacles on the side, and took out a red heart wrapped in gold from his eye socket.
The heart was still beating slightly when it was taken out, as if it had just been dug out of a living body, full of fresh vitality.
"If you're going to fight the Holy Trinity, take this with you, it'll help you."

Introduction: The true core of the Sin Blade has the power to cut off all sins.
This [Heart of Pure Evil Blade] was originally prepared by the Fourth Face for Diogakas, with the intention of helping him cut off the shackles of miracles.
But Lin Yi's arrival disrupted the Fourth Face's plan. The test just now made it clear to Lin Yi's inner thoughts, so it was willing to take a gamble and bet that Lin Yi could successfully cut off the miracle and end all the evil in the world. All sin.
"So, where is the Fourth Holy Seal?" After taking the [Heart of Pure Evil Blade] from the fourth face, Lin Yi put it properly into his personal space.
After learning the true identity of the Holy Trinity, Lin Yi's view of it changed fundamentally.
In the vast void, gods are just one of many races.
Just like one star among many, it is not unique or supreme.
These beings worshiped by mortals do not occupy the pinnacle position on the big stage of the void, and even some powerful humans can easily subdue them.
In an environment like the native world, the reason why gods are able to perform miracles and harvest faith is largely because they have mastered power beyond the understanding of mortals.
However, this kind of power is not so prominent on the broader void stage.
Compared to other more powerful and mysterious beings, the power of gods is just a drop in the ocean.
The fourth face was silent for a moment, seeming to be weighing something.
"I gave the last Seal of Self-denial to Keransa, but the Holy Trinity seemed to sense my purpose and severed my connection with Keransa."
When he heard the name "Krantha", Diogakas, who had been kneeling aside silently, suddenly raised his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Apparently, he was no stranger to Klansa.
"So, where is Klansa now?"
"Kransa has now become the commander of the Temple Army and should be stationed outside the Holy King's palace."
Diogakas seemed a little shocked. He had never doubted Kransha's faith, because in his impression, Klansha always wore a golden hood and was one of the most pious people in the Templar Army. Even Some bishops also praised her faith.
Through all the trials and difficult moments in the past, Klansha's faith has never wavered.
"However, the Holy Trinity has given her a golden hood to cover her eyes. To awaken Kransa and obtain the Seal of Self-denial, the golden hood on her head must be shattered." The fourth face revealed this key information. Finally, he closed his eyes tiredly.
Over the years, its body has become one with the Sanyan Festival tree and is extremely weak.
At this moment, it is more like a plant, and it has taken a lot of energy to say these words.
Seeing that the fourth face needed a rest, Diogakas stood up and prepared to leave with Lin Yi.
The moment they closed the iron door, Lin Yi found that all the ghosts floating above him had disappeared.
"No, someone is coming."
After Diogakas saw the disappearing ghosts, he immediately realized that someone must be coming to the library, so he attracted these ghosts to other places.
Without saying anything, the two quickly walked up the stairs. About three minutes later, the two finally successfully left the basement of the library.
Lin Yi noticed that Diosoldado, who had previously opened the secret passage for them, was already lying on the floor of the library, motionless. The originally empty library was now filled with Templar soldiers.
These soldiers were holding cross swords, the tips of which were pointed straight at Lin Yi and Diogakas.
Directly in front of them, a temple soldier wearing a golden hood was sitting leisurely on his seat drinking tea.
And at her feet was Diosodado, who did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Pagan, surrender obediently, and I may be able to spare your life. Otherwise, just wait for the Holy Judgment."
After seeing Lin Yi and Diogakas appear, Keransa slowly placed the tea cup in her hand on the table nearby.
Lin Yi recognized Kransha at a glance. After all, among the many Temple soldiers, she was the only one wearing such a striking golden hood, which was difficult to ignore.
He noticed that the eyes of the golden hood on Keransa's head were covered by two small golden hands, but this did not seem to have any impact on her sight.
Lin Yi could clearly feel Keransa's gaze, and she was looking at him coldly through the golden mask.
"I just happened to be worried about where to find you. Since you took the initiative to deliver it to my door, that's just right."
Lin Yi said calmly, and at the same time, a long sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The moment Lin Yi held the sword in his hand, all the temple troops felt a chill coming over them.
