Chapter 558: The Forbidden Knowledge That Makes the "God" Lose Control
World No. 13, the former "Light" Church Chapel, now outside the "Bonfire" Church Cathedral.
Shana and Colin walked side by side on the road back to the church hall...
Along the way, although Colin beside her greeted the believers from time to time and did not express anything special, Shana was still keenly aware that the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
There seems to be such signs since some time ago.
However , it seemed that the bonfire god had not explained the situation to her.
Shana didn't ask any questions and just walked side by side. While chatting from time to time, she raised her head slightly, and on her fair and delicate face, a pair of pure ice-blue eyes looked at the sacred church in front of them that was spewing flames.
Compared to earlier times, the church has expanded from a few hundred square meters to nearly 30,000 square meters, and is now a large and magnificent building over 100 meters high. Its grandeur is not only awe-inspiring, but also from behind some "mechanical movable windows" on each floor, there are also some large-caliber gun barrels...
There are hundreds of turrets on the fifth floor that can cause damage to third-level containment objects.
It is extremely difficult for anyone to withstand the volley of fire.
Coupled with various mysterious inscriptions, there is no need to say much about the defense and power of this thing.
The entire "bonfire church" was basically built in just a few months, which would definitely not be possible under normal circumstances.
Even if the two of them could use extraordinary means to build a clay prototype, they could not make it so exquisite and complete.
But Colin mentioned the need for a semi-permanent structure...
For this reason, Shana thought about it and decided to take a risk and use a little trick with Colin.
That is, some time ago, they went deep into the depths of the "Demon Mist Disaster" into a relic she had discovered earlier, carried out a main war hall from the "Holy Light Church" era, and finally placed it here.
After some modifications, combined with the level 5 bonfire mentioned by Colin, the current "Bonfire Cathedral" was created.
Using "bonfire" as the energy core of the "Main Hall of War" makes up for the lack of power and thus re-demonstrates the power of this ancient war fortress.
An unexpected match between "light" and "fire".
As for this practice, will there be any "light" that can be taught to oppose it...
Shana felt that she should have some say in this matter.
She said that this was an ownerless object from ancient times that she picked up from the ruins, so it was an ownerless object. After all, she had the highest status on the surface and had the final right to interpret all kinds of things in the "Light" religion.
As for the behavior of their own "saint" who was disloyal, everyone turned a blind eye and did not say much.
After all, if you don't let her mess around, she will mess around with you.
When faced with two evils, one should choose the lesser one. In addition, the "Bonfire Cathedral" is located before the "Magic Fog" disaster, thus becoming a solid barrier against divine disasters, which can relieve a lot of pressure for them.
So in the end no one jumped out to object.
Strolling into the hall, through the long corridor, and coming to the magnificent burning bonfire, Shana blinked, turned sideways, looked at the somewhat "silent" Colin, and asked in a gentle tone:
"You seem to be worried about something?"
After hearing what the other party said, Colin did not respond immediately. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's not really a worry. It's just that I should have a difficult mission soon, so I might not be able to come for a while."
"Difficult?"
Shana pulled a chair over for Colin, pointed to a seat, and then sat on a chair beside it, sitting upright with her legs together.
So far, she had rarely seen Colin frown over a particular mission. Since it was singled out for discussion, it was obvious that this mission would be quite difficult...
Shanna pursed her lips and asked gently, "Is there anything I can help with?"
"It's hard to say..." Colin shook his head, sat down casually, tugged at the collar of his specially tailored "Bonfire Messenger Robe", and crossed his legs out of habit.
Shana usually provides support by giving buffs or creating a strong enough clone.
Some clones that are powerful enough are almost equal to the original body, and can even restrain the original body of the "Level 1 Containment Object". Her power is of high status, but the quantity is still insufficient, a bit similar to the "Fire Bearer".
Using a clone of this level comes at a high price.
Moreover, Colin had a feeling that Shana would most likely not be able to come...
But he wasn't asking for help this time. After thinking for a moment, Colin pulled out the bone spur filled with black cracks from his pocket and handed it over.
"There aren't many scenarios where I can use this thing anymore, so I can return it to you..."
Seeing Colin take out the bone spur, Shana was silent for a few seconds, stood up slightly, stretched out her hands, took it carefully in her hands, and wrapped it in a white handkerchief.
After doing all this, Shana looked at the man who had not yet answered her question directly: "It seems that this incident will be very difficult."
Otherwise, based on her understanding of this man, he would not suddenly come to her to return the holy remains.
“It should be a little difficult…”
Colin nodded and took out another shield-shaped prop. Just as he was about to speak, Shana spoke first:
"You can continue to hold this shield... When I gave it to you, I fundamentally hoped that you would master it."
After a pause, she looked into Colin's eyes and continued, "This thing is part of the 'King of Knights', a manifestation of the 'virtue' characteristic..."
As for which virtue it is, I have used it for so long that there is no need to elaborate...
Colin nodded, not surprised.
Most of the materials that can become golden props are at the level of first-level storage objects.
The ancient "King of Knights" was said to be a terrifying warrior who combined eight "virtues" into one, and his strength even surpassed many first-level containment objects - this part was told to Colin by the King of Mad Sound.
In other words, he or she is on a par with God.
Furthermore, because he could understand the annotations on the items, he knew more details than Shana and knew that this item was made by the suspected giant "Mr. Huang He" himself...
"And the reason I want you to take it has something to do with the current 'King' of the Knight Kingdom. He wants to become a 'True God' again and has some plans, one of which requires the use of this shield..."
"But... I don't think he is qualified."
Shana gave a negative assessment of the current "king": "He has some plans that I don't quite agree with, so I've been looking for a suitable opportunity to throw away the shield, but there hasn't been a good opportunity until you showed up..."
Hearing this, Colin suddenly understood why the "Shield of Fairness and Justice" had a note stating that using it more than once in "World Number-13" would attract certain beings...
So that's the reason. If you use it too much, it will probably attract the Knight Country...
No, according to the description, it is to attract the real "King of Knights"!
"What happened to the former 'King of Knights'?" Colin asked curiously.
"His situation is very unclear. Rumor has it that he perished in the distant past, even before the Holy Light Church. However, some forbidden records show that he was active during the disaster caused by the Holy Light Church..."
"There are quite a few doubts about him, but that's not surprising. After all, no matter what, it's very difficult for this kind of person to die cleanly without special treatment..."
Shana casually said something that was extremely "treasonous" in the territory of the Knight Kingdom.
This can only be mentioned to people like Colin from the "Bonfire Company".
Even though several generations of "Light" saints fought hard to destroy the "Holy Light Church" and strive to liberate the mystery, the overall environment is still not so good.
Listening to Shana's words, Colin put away the "Shield of Fairness and Justice" and couldn't help but think in his heart: "In a world where gods really exist, unless a true god like 'Lady Thorn' leads the rebellion, some things are really hard to break..."
"in addition……"
Shana changed the subject and held up the bone spur wrapped in white silk in her hand:
"This holy relic actually has some untapped potential, and perhaps it can be put to good use."
As she spoke, Shana seemed to have made a decision. She picked up the bone spur, and strands of white light overflowed from her hand and continued to seep into the bone spur.
Mysterious glowing textures began to move from the top, as if some restrictions were being unlocked...
"Saint Chrissie once said: 'He who holds a lantern to illuminate others must also be illuminated by the light.'"
Shana placed the bone spur that had opened some of the restrictions in front of her: "I think, if the time really comes, she might not ignore your condition..."
"To illuminate others? That's a bit of a compliment to me. I just don't want my home to be stolen..." Colin pursed his lips.
He couldn't articulate his thoughts, but whatever they were...
He doesn't want to and can't leave!
Colin had a premonition that if he failed to defend his home this time, no matter where he fled, the final outcome would not be good.
And it will also implicate your friends and so on...
Because as a reserve member of the Fire Bearer, his coordinates have been exposed.
Moreover, there are too many people in his hometown. No matter how much preparation is made, there will always be people who cannot be taken care of. As an important combat force, once he leaves, the situation may be extremely bad.
Although Colin never thought that he could cause much trouble by himself, what if he was the only one needed to save the world?
Seeing Colin's stubbornness , Shana shook her head slightly, revealing a gentle smile. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed his hand, which was one size larger than hers, and placed the end of the bone spur on his palm. She didn't continue to talk about this dead end with Colin.
"If you need me, call me anytime. I will come to help you no matter what."
The white hands were so soft that it was hard to believe that the clenched fists of these hands had killed many people and a large number of living anomalies.
"..." Colin opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more. He chose to accept the gift and nodded.
"Then, regarding this item, if you need it, it can release half of—well, supposedly a natural phenomenon—a Level 1 containment object. It's out of control, and you can briefly manipulate it to confront the enemy. But be careful when using it, or you might end up hurting yourself..."
"Half?" Colin noticed this statement.
Shana nodded slightly and explained, "I heard that the thing bound inside was once a righteous god believed in by an extinct church in ancient times.
"It seems that during the fight against the Holy Light Church, or for some other reason, some forbidden knowledge possibly related to divinity was touched upon, causing it to go out of control and transform into a 'rain of filth'...
"Ultimately, it was sealed by the Holy Light Church, but hundreds of years ago, it escaped and harmed the world, contaminating many creatures. Ultimately, the then-Saint of the Light Church, Chrissis, overthrew its power and sacrificed itself to seal it... This is all the information I've been able to gather about it."
"Forbidden knowledge of 'divinity' that can cause gods to lose control?" Colin was stunned.
What did he do? Was he trying to peek into the true nature of the "night" or the "red moon"?
Otherwise, Colin really didn't know what other forbidden knowledge could cause a Level 1 containment object to go out of control...
"I don't know either..." Shana bit her lip and shook her head.
Saints usually do not meet each other, and the information they retain is generally brief. She only knows some general life stories.
"Okay." Colin held the bone spur and could indeed feel that as long as he thought about it.
An extremely terrifying existence will emerge from it...
If there is no strange hidden secret in it, then it is most likely the "righteous god" who has seen something unclean.
In a short period of time, he can achieve certain and short-term guidance...but can't do much else.
It can be regarded as a "trump card" in the general sense...
It is also an obvious double-edged sword, because if it is not used properly, it will release a natural disaster.
"Thank you..." After Colin roughly understood the content, he expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Shana raised her hand to smooth her hair and tilted her head slightly: "It seems like your advent time is still two days away?"
"Um."
"Oh..." Shana nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Colin looked towards the other side of the hall. A figure was sweeping the floor in the distance, pricked up his ears, or secretly peeking at this place: "Xiaohong, come here, why are you pretending to sweep the floor..."
The entire hall is illuminated by a bonfire, and there is usually no dust.
"Oh." Xiaohong took quick steps, put the broom back to its original place properly, and then ran over quickly with her short legs.
Compared to a few months ago when she was just rescued from the refugee group, Xiaohong was obviously much better looking. She was no longer covered in dirt and wrinkles, and her body was no longer covered in new and old wounds. She was now wearing a black dress with small floral patterns, and her black hair was combed smooth by Sana. Her face was clean and tidy, with a little childishness, and her pair of pure black eyes were full of intelligence.
A little girl with pure black hair and eyes, a rarity in the world, came up to him. Colin reached out and rubbed her head vigorously.
"Anything you want to say?"
Looking at the faint red in the girl's eyes, Kelin knew she must have something to say.
Until now, this little girl's eyes would change color whenever she had something on her mind or her emotions changed significantly , so it was relatively easy to guess what she was thinking.
Of course, compared to before, the control is much better now, and it no longer makes people feel as dangerous as before.
