Dark Shadow Shrine

Chapter 23 Anti-prophecy

Lei Wen and the two did not leave the Golden City. When the carriage rounded a dark corner, Lei Wen quickly took Karin and Sheng Sheng out of the carriage.

When the carriage lightened, the seasoned coachman sensed it sensitively, but he didn't express anything. This was part of Raven's agreement with old man Jacob.

After driving 200 meters, the carriage briefly turned into an alley, and when it came out again, there were several hundred catties of real rope and two child substitutes on board.

Lei Wen's re-entry into the slums did not alarm anyone, because it was too easy for Lei Wen to avoid civilians with high perception. And most of the time walking in the shadows of slums and the roofs of wooden houses, for example, when passing through the roofs of two houses, Lei Wen walked on a rope bridge transformed from a rope, and walking on it was similar to walking on a wooden bridge.

As the contact time got longer and longer, Karin also began to accept Shengyi, feeling that this huge golem was more like some kind of omnipotent tool and servant.

The rope that has a soul connection with Lei Wen will automatically complete Lei Wen's task even without Lei Wen's command.

Not far away, Lei Wen and his party temporarily settled in an abandoned three-story house.

"here it is?"

Raven didn't answer Karin, and pointed to a gorgeous church building opposite. The black and white background of the building's exterior wall and the crystal ball holy emblem full of eyes on the gate informed passers-by that this was the Church of the God of Prophecy.

A strange smile curled from the corner of Lei Wen's mouth: "That bastard has been chasing me with prophecy, and now he finds out that the person who left the city has lost his bag, what will he do?"

Karin's eyes lit up: "Will he come to find us again with prophecy?"

Raven shook his index finger: "Not only. I just made such a big fuss in the Adventurer's Guild that I even uncovered the card Sheng Yi. The man behind the scenes is so careful, he will definitely use power words to probe my past first. If If he really dares to do this, it will be a lot of fun.”

Lei Wen maliciously imagined: I wonder if the bug in the game that almost caused the game to crash can still be used?

"Then we just wait like this?"

Raven shrugged: "Whether it's divination or power word, the best time to cast a spell is midnight, and we still have a long time. As long as we stay here without being discovered, you can do whatever you want."

After hearing this, Karin ran to the next door to change back to the original set of burlap clothes, then hummed an unknown tune, and started cleaning like a hostess.

After a while, I cleaned up the room, and then took out the white bread and kettle that I hadn't eaten the day before.

"Brother, since you're going to stay late, why don't you have dinner first?"

Raven's eyelids twitched a few times, but he finally convinced Karin: "Okay."

Don't look at the many empty houses in the slums of the city of gold, it's never free.

Many children who work part-time as thieves will often patrol the empty houses in the slums. Once poor people are found to live in privately, it is the turn of the sheriff to show up. The magistrate will severely beat the poor for violating the city of gold's public security regulations and other reasons, squeezing out the last drop of oil and water from their bone marrow.

In fact, it is very difficult to hide these thieves during the day, of course, Raven also has a way to deal with it.

Extraordinary perception allowed Lei Wen to easily spot a child approaching the house. Without any mercy, Lei Wen directly cut his wrist and gave him a small bloodletting.

Bright red blood splattered in front of the gate of this house.

In the eyes of the child, Raven's smile was as terrifying as a devil.

"Little guy, I recognize you. You go home now, and you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened here before tomorrow morning. I know that Analon is in charge of this area, and you are really forced to suffer." If you can't stop, tell him to get away, or even his boss, Chai Fei, won't be able to save him."

Two names in a row were named, both of whom were big men that little boys dared not name. But in this mysterious population, it is just an existence inferior to pigs and dogs. The little boy was really scared, a kind of almost instinctive fear firmly grasped his heart.

"Okay, get out!"

The little boy walked the shit out of him.

Waiting is boring. Not long after nightfall, Karin curled up in Raven's arms and fell asleep.

Sitting on a rocking chair transformed into a rope, Raven quietly looked at the Church of Prophecy.

Sure enough, near midnight, Lei Wen saw a luxuriously dressed male businessman hurriedly stepping into the gate of the Church of the God of Prophecy.

The house was just downwind, and Raven activated his listening skills.

In the church, the merchant furtively handed Juanito, high priest of the Church of Prophecy, a large bag of gems.

Juanito frowned: "Speak clearly, otherwise I dare not accept the money."

"The person who asked you to prophesy last time...something went wrong. The kid named Lei Wen seems to have suddenly awakened the blood of an artificer, so this time I would like to ask you to use power words to see his past."

Juanito pondered for a moment, then pushed the gem back.

"Your Excellency, this is..."

"Don't be kidding. Let me use Power Words to check the family with the blood of artificers? You want to kill me? Do you even know what Power Words are? Idiots with no common sense, get out! Let the people behind you meet me in person Otherwise, we will not talk about it!" Juanito snarled and scared the businessman to the ground.

Twenty minutes after the businessman left, a mysterious man appeared from the shadows of the room.

He handed over a big money bag on a veiny arm.

"It contains fifty god gold coins. My request remains the same."

Juanito hesitated a bit, but decided to refuse after thinking about it.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the other side suddenly increased the size.

"One hundred god gold coins."

Juanito's body trembled: "Power Word is to directly explore the truth of the world through divine arts. If the content is simple, then I only need to pay the price of mental power. If the content is more complicated, I will overdraw my vitality. If the content is special Huge or profound, this is going to overdraw my Lord's divine power!"

"Three hundred! With so much money, it is enough for you to explore the entire lineage of artificers in the Nelas Empire."

Juanito's body was shaking like chaff, he was too deep, the position of the God of Prophecy was neutral, but the ones who could afford to make truth or prophecy were basically the guys from the evil camp. He also secretly investigated after finishing the prophecy, and those people predicted by his prophecy were all killed.

Now he has found that he can't refuse this shadowy man's request. After all, accepting money for prophecy does not violate the teachings of the Prophecy Church, but if he refuses, he will probably be killed. In the end, he still took the bag of god gold coins. He knew it meant at least a price in years of life.

As the man watched, Juanito began to cast a mantra spell on his crystal ball. In the crystal ball, he first saw Raven's young face, and then Raven's face became younger and younger.

In the vision of the two, Raven's time began to turn back.

Suddenly, an inexplicable divergence appeared, it was a cloud of fog, stuck firmly in the middle of the crystal ball, unable to dissipate. This accident almost made Juanito unable to control himself, his hands were shaking a little!

"Yes! It's here! I want to see clearly!" The gloomy man on the opposite side could hardly restrain his excitement.

Juanito gritted his teeth and gathered his mental strength, breaking into the fog with all his might.

The picture of the crystal ball began to move.

It can be clearly seen that the picture has left the main plane of Ultron World.

It’s not that Juanito has used power words to detect characters from other planes, and even the demons in the abyss have peeped, but he has never tried to cross countless planes as soon as he probes, pointing to the endless the deepest part of the universe.

No! It's just another world with a multiverse.

How can this be! ?

Juanito's face turned pale for a moment.

The more time and space the Power Word spanned, the more staggering his wear and tear.

If the spiritual force injected into the crystal ball is a big wave, then what it hits head-on is a black hole that can engulf the entire ocean! The crazy suction easily swallowed this little wave, and then pulled Juanito's entire spiritual world in turn.

Juanito felt that his whole body suddenly became light, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. His vision became blurred in an instant, and he only saw a burst of withering spread from the fingertips of his hands, and the scope was getting bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, his hands were like dead wood, and his dry skin seemed to be cracked by drought. shaped earth.

And the crystal ball is still endlessly asking for a price from Juanito.

His whole life? not enough.

His whole soul? not enough!

The black hole in the crystal ball traveled along the channel of belief connecting priests and gods.

"No—" Juanito let out the last scream of his life.

The dark man stood stunned, and he didn't expect that Juanito on the opposite side would be reduced to a mass of ashes within a few seconds, leaving only the gorgeous priestly robe scattered on the table.

Even if he knew that Juanito would pay the price for this power word, he never thought that the price would be so tragic—Juanito not only paid his entire life, but also burned his soul.

This is not the end.

The next moment, all the believers and priests of the Church of Prophecy, as well as all the mages and warlocks who knew the prophecy, heard the angry roar of Savras, the God of Prophecy, in their ears at the same time.

"That goddamn pighead Juanito actually used power words to detect a black hole fan! Does he want me to fall immediately!? Damn! Idiot!" Then there is a series of Celestial language that few people can understand. It's a lot of foul language.

It took Savras a long time to recover from his rage, and then he issued an oracle: From now on, it is forbidden to use divination and power words to ask for any information about a man named Raven.

The dark man was dumbfounded by this result.

Prophecy is useful, but it is by no means omnipotent. Generally speaking, the high-ranking priests, gods, and legendary powerhouses of the major churches cannot use divination and power words to detect. If the target is obviously weak but unable to use divination and power words, according to the past rules, it only means one thing: the target's background is frighteningly big.

The gloomy man couldn't figure it out, why was it able to be used before, but suddenly this time even Savras, the god of prophecy, couldn't handle it? Is that boy's artificer blood really so powerful?
