Chapter 884: 866 First Bell (3000)

Chapter 884 866. The first bell (3000)

Flamehas a special meaning in this world.

Looking at it all the way, Lan En feels that [Flame] is not only meaningful, but also a key factor in the survival and stability of the world.

And [Fire Passing Ceremony] and [Salt King]. These two words he heard from the lumberjack who had not become a wandering spirit when he first came to this world.

According to the habitual thinking he developed in the normal world, he always thought that [Xinwang] was just the host of the [Fire Passing Ceremony].

But now it sounds like the stable foundation of this world, [Flame], is going to burn qualified and strong people as [firewood]? !

It is also because this behavior stabilizes the existence of [Flame] that the strong person who spreads fire is respectfully called [King of Fire].

Lan En frowned and thought of the maggots who were voluntarily nailed to the wall in order to purify the goddess they believed in.

The cruel style of this world is consistent.

Sirius's cold voice had some echoes under the church's architectural structure, making it seem more ethereal.

"Of course, in order to prevent the lofty name of [King of Salaries] from being tarnished, Lothric officials concealed the process and only named Eldridge the [Sage of the Deep]. Although there have been rumors about this among the people. "

Suddenly, Lan En said this name, a name that was inseparable from the Deep Church along the way.

But be careful too, Lan

So after the conversation, Sirius was ready to leave. He just reminded Lan En when he turned around at the end.

"So, King Osroais not only did not execute Eldridge immediately, but instead raised him in the Deep Church. This was originally a funeral church that dealt with undead people, and those undead people happened to be fed to Eldridge. For the great soul is the fuel of the fire.

The cold eyes under the silver headdress stared closely at Lan En's cat eyes.

Sirius and Lan walked to other places together, and until there was no one else around them, the two of them leaned against the wall and talked.

Using the waste of cannibal criminals as fuel to stabilize the world is actually a good thing in Lann's opinion.

But after he came back, he got into the bad habit of cannibalism.

Can you talk about this guy? Im a foreigner, and Im a little curious after hearing what you guys said.

I understand the importance, thank you for reminding me, Sirius. I also wish the moon can bless you.

In the following days, it seemed as if the tit-for-tat confrontation between two archbishops and one archbishop had never happened, and the Church of the Underworld continued to operate as usual.

[The Holy Saint] was originally a magician. He was later promoted to the priesthood archbishop by King Osroais and was sent to Irushil in the Cold Lie Valley. It represents the symbol of the cooperative relationship between the White Sect and the Dark Moon Sect.

Hearing this, Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment.

But in this world, the sublimity of [Xin Wang] is unparalleled. Therefore, people like Sirius seem very sarcastic and disapproving of the fact that a criminal can also become the [Salary King].

There are also many sacred scriptures and books in the Netherworld Church, if you need them.

Some knowledge should not be known to others.

"This should have been a heinous crime, not to mention that he was still a holy archbishop at that time, so the crime was even worse. But the knights and priests who came to suppress him in Lothric discovered that Eldridge's soul was actually eating people. It continues to grow in the process.

This is the first time I know that you dont even know the title of King Xin or [Sage of the Netherworld]. Your origins are really far away.

The topic ended very simply. People here dont like nonsense.

"Later, when Eldridge had eaten himself into a puddle of black sludge, the fire was about to die down. Lothric's people took him to perform the fire ceremony and burned him."

Its just that the sky outside the church is getting darker and darker even during the day.

The dim scene that Lan En saw when he first arrived has now become a luxury.

As the light dimmed, more and more people appeared outside the church, kneeling to pray.

Looking down from the upper floors of the church, a large number of people with haggard faces and ragged clothes almost fell to their knees.

Among these people, there are some hidden undead people who suddenly went crazy, or simply some normal people suddenly appeared with a ring of darkness on their bodies and became undead.

The bleaker the world becomes, the more people hope that faith can save them, even if the Church of the Underworld no longer has a good reputation after the Saint of the Underworld.

But even many people in the Netherworld Church were cursed by the undead.

Those iron-tower-like church knights now even serve as executioners.

Lane has seen Klimt go to Archbishop Macdonald or another short Archbishop Louis many times, asking urgent questions.

Hmm I can vaguely hear, "Is there any news from Lothric?" , Why hasnt the fire passing ceremony been carried out yet? and the like.

The answers of the other two archbishops remained the same.

'The prince is thinking about it', 'He doesn't really want to spread the fire', 'The officiant is persuading him', 'But the prince is prepared even if he doesn't spread the fire. Lothric captured a powerful warrior during the battle, and he can let him burn it first. With '.

Highlight the word "procrastination" and "don't worry".

But I kept saying it again and again, but the situation outside was not good at all.

After knowing that passing fire means being burned by the [flame], Lan En understands the prince's reluctance to pass fire.

But if what the other two archbishops said is true, why hasn't even the powerful warrior prisoner been burned?

What are the benefits of letting the world collapse?

In the end of the world, it is still an end of the world that can almost be seen with the naked eye.

This kind of urgency is equivalent to putting a guillotine on the neck, but Lan En still remains calm.

He now no longer looks at the increasingly chaotic and crazy situation outside the church, but instead is immersed in the stacks of books in the deep church. Since the situation is already very chaotic, he cannot be chaotic.

Only when your mind is not cluttered can you have a chance to survive.

He began to understand the world on the verge of collapse from the collection of books in the church.

The priests possess strange supernatural powers, so of course they should have a corresponding worldview.

A worldview is a perspective from which to explain the world. Science has a scientific worldview, and magic has a magical worldview. The [miracles] of the priests are essentially storytelling, so they should have a credible worldview.

Although there are still magicians who have trouble dealing with the priests, Lan En is not a believer. He just wants to get a basic understanding of the world from the books in the Netherworld Church.

Archbishop Macdonald and Archbishop Louis did not completely confine this group of people. On the contrary, Lan En's behavior of wanting to learn from the collection of books in the Deep Church was greatly appreciated and supported by them.

And specially recommended some books.

This made Lan En more sure that Sirius was right: some knowledge can harm people.

Finally, with the assistance of Mentos, Lan completed the recording of most of the books in the Netherworld Church with a jaw-dropping progress.

The biological brain connects these fragmented knowledge to form a system.

Its really quite different.

The witcher closed the hard-cover book in his hand with a 'snap' sound and sighed softly.

Outside the Netherworld Church, there are almost no normal people left. Even the gravekeepers in the church who were working outside and holding two sharp knives had mostly become undead at this time.

The crazy howl can even penetrate the thick stone walls of the church, lingering in the ears endlessly.

And Lan En finally understood the basis of the existence of this world.

In the description of this world by the priests, at first only tall trees and immortal ancient dragons existed.

It was a chaotic and ambiguous world, with no concept of time, because there was no 'disappearance' and 'death' at all.

Then [flame] appeared, distinguishing cold and heat, light and darkness, life and death, and the concept of soul was born in the first fire, giving rise to intelligent life.

King Gwen of the Gods led his people to break the immortal scales of the ancient dragon. The witches of Izalis burned the big trees with flames. The first dead spread the miasma of death to corrode the ancient dragon's scale-lost body. Thus, the current world emerged.

The function of [Flame] is to maintain the current ruled world and prevent it from returning to the original era.

The [miracles] of the priesthood are to tell the stories of the gods and turn them into spells.

Of course they also want to maintain the world created by the gods and protect this stable world.

But magicians are fundamentally different from them, relying on their own wisdom to conduct research.

They dont care much about the First Fire. After all, since they want to pursue a higher level of power and realm, isnt it clear that there is something more original and ancient than the First Fire in this world?

So their ultimate goal is to approach or even become an immortal ancient dragon or a big tree.

The priesthood and magicians in other worlds cannot deal with each other. It can also be said to be a matter of favorability and compatibility.

But in this world, the route is fundamentally different.

After understanding these basic worldviews, Lan En was finally able to analyze recent events in a series.

Thanks to Mentos's thinking aid, otherwise even he would have had to work hard to connect such fragmented knowledge into a system.

And with these basic worldviews, he finally figured out what was going on with the knowledge in the books of the Netherworld Church that obviously made him feel something was wrong.

He had always been like Archbishop Klimt before, thinking that the other party was just making official remarks and trying to take advantage of the chaos when the world was on the verge of collapse.

But now, Lan En looked at the books recommended by the two archbishops.

Fuck me.!

He blinked his eyes and couldn't help but curse.

In fact, they have no intention of continuing to live in this era stabilized by [flame]!

At the same time, outside the Profound Church, the sky had darkened.

But its different from the sunsets in the past.

This time it wasnt dark because the sun was setting.

Looking from a distance, the sun seemed to be undergoing a solar eclipse. Most of the area was covered in darkness, leaving only a ring of fire burning and shining.

And at the lowest point beside the circle of fire, like the sun bleeding, a ray of fiery red light was flowing downwards.

Like the blood shed by the maggots who were nailed to the wall at that time!

This was by no means a normal sunset, and everyone was aware of it.

Initial Firehas declined to this point!

Immediately afterwards, a huge bell sounded from nowhere, ringing in every corner of the world.

Archbishop Macdonald and Archbishop Louis seemed to have anticipated this scene.

They, along with most of the priests, stood respectfully in a hall at the deepest part of the Deep Church.

There was a huge coffin in the hall, and it was making a slight noise.
