The sun is high - #179 - Chapter 178
Along with Shuge’s answer, the black sun above the sculpture flashed slightly twice, and the obscure light and shadow emanating from it still fell evenly on Shuge’s body, while the prophet Murna stood on the other side of the sculpture. A dim shadow also flashed across Bi’s face.
Shuge’s answer was of course sincere.
But only he knows that the answer he gives is not only based on his current situation, but also based on his past.
However, for the members of the Black Sun Society present, it may still take a lot of time to understand the term “atheist”.
The prophet Mulnabi felt the changes in the secret ritual. At this moment, an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face uncontrollably – Xiuge’s answer passed the verification of the secret ritual, which meant that Fan En’s God indeed had no place in his heart.
This not only means that Shuge has the prerequisites to join the Black Sun Society, but also verifies the correctness of the Black Sun Society’s past predictions and decisions. Mulnabi even feels that from today on, in the entire Black Sun Society, the predictions The status of the author and the “Messenger with Ten Thousand Faces” will be enhanced as never before!
It wasn’t just Moornaby whose expression changed.
When other people present discovered that Xiuge had actually passed the verification of the secret ritual, their demeanors began to change.
When the members of the Black Sun Society had different reactions because Xiuge passed the first test of the secret ritual, Xiuge, who was standing in the center of the banquet hall and under the magical light of the Black Sun Secret Ritual, also He is using his ability to keenly capture the changes around him.
The subtle movements of these people, the whispers between each other, and the different changes in expressions are all included by Xiuge’s perception.
He noticed that several people who believed in Charron, the Lord of the Ocean, looked at him more eagerly, especially the two women who were wearing hot and revealing clothes. One of them even licked his lips. , a suspicious blush appeared on their delicate faces, making people unable to help but wonder what they were thinking.
Behind the prophet Mulnabi, people who were familiar with him were gently patting his shoulders with their hands to celebrate.
The twins from the Geser family looked surprised, as if they couldn’t believe that Shuge had never believed in any gods.
The “lecturer” who brought him to Black Forest Castle was smiling. It seemed that as one of the planners of the Salem City massacre, he had great confidence in Shuge.
Kezlov, who was standing on the other side, had a strange look in his eyes now. He should be the only one among the people present who was always wary of Shuge.
“Ahem!”
Hulbert, who was presiding over the secret ceremony, coughed twice and successfully suppressed the restlessness among the crowd. Then he showed a satisfied smile to Shuge: “Very good, Shuge… Mr. Ernst, you really did not disappoint the association… Then, we have two more questions.”
“Please.”
Xiuge nodded, his expression still calm.
But in fact, his vigilance towards everyone present has increased again. The reason is very simple – the metal disc did not slow down because he passed the first test, but instead accelerated further. Its current state is no longer the same as repairing In the past, Xiuge was very close when facing huge risks and hidden dangers, and with the high-speed rotation of the metal disk, the magic power escaping from the center of the disc was constantly spreading to all corners of Xiuge’s spiritual world.
Judging from Shuge’s past experience, this can already be regarded as the “preparation” of the metal disc itself.
So, while Xiuge was on alert, Herbert asked the second question.
“Mr. Sugar Ernst, please tell us, are you still the same person you were before? If not, when did you change?”
Following Herbert’s question, the black sun on the magic sculpture in front of Shuge began to flicker and rotate slowly. It became deeper, and just as Herbert said before, this strange black sun The sun appears to be transitioning towards the “eye”.
Shuge looked directly at it. Although this round shadow looked like a black mass, Shuge could still feel the strange changes it was undergoing.
He felt that this shadow was changing into a strange passage connecting some distant time and space, and at the end of this passage, there was an extremely strange force that was moving towards him.
It seemed to be a gaze from some kind of existence.
A gaze that is different from humans or intelligent creatures, but also carries an obvious scrutiny.
At this moment, Xiuge clearly felt a power spreading from the outside world towards his spiritual world.
He originally thought this was an invasion similar to that of the descendants of An Abyss, but when they entered his spiritual world, Xiuge unexpectedly discovered that this power actually gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Just like some kind of provocative behavior with strong bad taste, this force did not directly collide with Shuge’s magic power after entering his spiritual world, but followed the tide of Shuge’s magic power and surrounded him. The metal disc spun around in a circle, and then suddenly turned around and crashed into the direction of the metal disc.
Of course, this weak force was shattered into pieces in the rotation of the metal disc. At the same time, all members from the Dream Sanctuary reacted at this moment, especially the Mirror Messenger and the Palace Hound, both of whom Showing great excitement and joy, the hound among them even came directly to the “room” of the messenger in the mirror, and happily circled there.
This is not a temptation or attack at all.
On the contrary, it can be understood as “saying hello”.
After realizing the special nature of this power, Xiuge felt the gaze peeking from the secret ritual, and he had an extremely subtle feeling.
“You said before that you were traveling far away. Did you end up in a place like this?”
Xiuge “looked” at the black sun above the secret ceremony, but he had no way to ask questions under the surveillance of the members of the Black Sun Society.
Seeing that Herbert was about to ask the second question, Shuge quickly focused his attention. Then, he gave an answer that was accurate in result, but obviously wrong in the process and time.
“As you have asked, I am indeed no longer the Shuge Ernst I used to be… I have completely changed since I left Salem City.”
The moment Xiuge finished his answer, the black sun above the secret ceremony immediately trembled twice. In the slightly trembling strange light and shadow, another magic power was “instilled” in the direction of Xiuge, and this time, Xiuge Ge was surprised to find that there was a clear message inside.
To be precise, it was a short sentence.
“continue.”
At this time, Xiuge was finally sure that the only person who could give this kind of information was a guy who claimed to be the “Lord of All-Changing Faces”.
Although Shuge didn’t know why Theseus “communicated” with him in this special form, since he gave a rare clear hint, Shuge felt relieved.
He withdrew his gaze and looked to his side.
Under the control of Theseus, there will naturally be no problems with the reaction of the Black Sun Mystery. After everyone in the Black Sun Society discovered that Shuge once again passed the test of the Mystery, they immediately became more satisfied. , especially the lecturers and other spellcasters who belong to the ‘History of the Dark Abyss’.
In their ears, Shuge’s answer and Mystery’s reaction clearly revealed the fact that the Black Sun Society’s plan in Salem City had been successfully completed.
This time, even Herbert, the second person in charge of the association, had a satisfied smile on his face, because as the host of the Black Sun Mystery, he could fully feel the slightest magic power in the mystery. fluctuation.
As a spellcaster who is expected to reach the deep sea level, Herbert can be sure that the secret ritual used by this association is in unprecedented good condition, and the flow of magic power in it has become astonishingly smooth. Under its influence, the magic power in the entire banquet hall seemed to be resonating. The slight vibration on the spiritual level was simply the most beautiful music!
And the reaction of the secret ritual proves that Shuge Ernst has indeed passed the test, and he has even received the approval from the Black Sun in advance!
“good very good!”
Hulbert praised: “Well, Mr. Sugar, we have one last question.”
The host calmed down his emotions, and then he asked cautiously: “Please answer us, are you… from another world?”
“?”
The moment he heard this question, Xiuge was shocked.
For any visitor from another world, this kind of question is a “slide that must not be touched.” However, the other party threw it out so directly, which was somewhat surprising.
However, Theseus’s reminder soon followed.
The prompt is still concise, only a short sentence.
“Answer normally.”
So Xiuge narrowed his eyes, and then nodded heavily: “Yes, I don’t belong to this world.”
The moment he heard Shuge’s answer, Herbert’s expression became extremely wonderful. As the host of the secret ceremony, he could have judged the result by feeling the flow of magic power, but at this moment he still couldn’t help but interact with other members of the association. Together, they looked at the black sun hanging on the top of the magic sculpture.
Just like before, after Shuge gave his answer, the light and shadow of the black sun flickered twice, and then everything went as usual.
But at this moment, this calm feedback turned into a fire that ignited enthusiasm. Even Kezlov’s face showed an expression that could be called surprise. As for those members of the association who were already extremely enthusiastic about Xiuge, Now I almost want to rush towards Shuge and give him a hug.
“Everyone! Everyone!”
Hulbert’s voice trembled slightly. After asking these three incredible questions and getting the same incredible answers from Shuge, the second person in charge of the association was already excited to the top – – He knew that the prophecy that had guided the Black Sun Society forward over the long years was about to be fulfilled, and even part of it had already been fulfilled!
The young man in front of me who has been exposed to the power of the Dark Abyss, gained a new life in Salem City, has a strange soul, and is recognized by the Lost Mystery is the best proof!
Hulbert believes that this night is enough to become a watershed in the history of the Black Sun Society!
He raised his hand, pressed it slightly, and then said loudly: “Then, let us complete the last step…”
Hulbert looked at Shuge again, his eyes that were originally wise and deep were filled with only fanaticism: “Mr. Shuge Ernst, or in other words, the son of the abyss who symbolizes the rising of the black sun, I represent the black sun.” Rijie extends my most sincere greetings and invitations to you… The association is eager for your joining, and all association members in Fanen are eager for your guidance!”
Shuge did not respond immediately. He was waiting for Theseus’ “attitude”.
“Say yes, and be ready.”
This time, Xiuge clearly felt a chill in the words delivered by Theseus. This was rare for Xiuge. He felt the undisguised coldness in Theseus’s words. Emotional bias.
In Xiuge’s past understanding, this weird god who could regard everything as “fun” now seems to be in an extremely depressed state.
A simple message, but it seemed like a thin layer of ice covering the turbulent undercurrent.
The speed of the metal disc reached the limit again, and the Dream Sanctuary creations such as the Mirror Messenger and the Running Rat, which also received Theseus’s prompts, are now ready. Even Charron’s Touch cannot be easily Beings that express their emotions are now beginning to expand the coverage of their hard horns, as if they are ready to hunt.
“Boom! Boom!”
As the heart beats, majestic magic power continues to emerge. They maintain Xiuge’s mental state and constantly calm his emotions.
So he raised his eyes and nodded gently to Herbert.
“I agree.”
The moment they heard Shuge’s response, all the members in the banquet hall took two steps back to make enough room for Shuge. Tears of excitement welled up in Hulbert’s eyes. Holding the palm of the hand firmly, a delicate staircase made of magic power was formed next to the magic sculpture, which connected the ground, the black sun on the top of the sculpture, and the statue of the goddess Mel.
“In that case…Mr. Sugar Ernst, please come forward!”
“Pick up the chains, pierce the traitor’s body, and accept the gift of the association!”
Following Herbert’s words, the huge sculpture that had been transformed into reality under the influence of magic slowly trembled. Under the gaze of the tiny black sun, the top of the sculpture slowly cracked, and a delicate A long metal cane appeared among them.
