Chapter 14: Praise the Sun

The old nun turned and walked towards the center of the church, and Lind subconsciously followed her.

"The magic circle is broken, disaster emerges, and the fire of life is about to be extinguished..."

"I know." Lind had to interrupt the other party's remarks which were similar to the opening remarks of the game. He found that the other party's mental state was not very good, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

The old nun stopped, turned her head and looked at Lind quietly with her eyes that were almost bulging out.

It seems to be saying: Either you come and talk, or you come!
Linde smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to signal the other party to continue.

"The gods have fallen into a deep sleep." The old nun continued to move forward: "The gods have abandoned us, or they themselves cannot save themselves. Half a year ago, we were still able to contact Goliath."

"What happened? Why can't we get in touch with him now?" Lind asked immediately.

The old nun stopped and stood right in front of the stone statue of the Storm Knight's Great Sword Head, letting the sunlight fall on her. The golden light enveloped her figure, making her look full of sacred aura.

"The world is ending, power is lost," she said. "They start to pursue a purer truth, but the truth is always hard to accept."

"Truth?" Linde frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

She took Lind and walked deeper into the church. When they pushed open the iron door, a foul odor hit them in the face.

Covering his nose, Lind looked inside. There were corpses covered in church clergy robes with twisted limbs.

It was the first time that Lind saw a person's two legs become entangled like the DNA double helix, yet maintain a sufficient distance between them so as not to disturb each other.

Or the arms are twisted into a double helix.

The body's spine was protruding, and the whole person was hanging by the neck like a sunny doll.

It seems as if these corpses are twisting their bodies to the best of their ability, creating rhythm with their bodies in order to sense the "truth".

Lind also understood why he couldn't contact Goliath. Everyone in the church was dead, except for the old nun.

"What truth are they pursuing?" Lind asked immediately.

When the magic ring was not broken and the outside world was unable to obtain powerful power, the church still had a chance to pursue even stronger power half a year ago.

Linde was very excited.

After the player appeared, he was very sure that he could not be an ordinary person. He had no choice, he must have power.

"The moon's gaze, the god of death's gaze, the sun's shining, the world greedily asks for more from the gods, but they don't know that even a glance from the gods contains wisdom that mortals cannot understand, that is the truth of power, the truth of magic."

She was still speaking in a chanting manner, and after listening for a few times, Lind began to look around at the corpses, and finally found a book among the twisted bones.

Just at this moment, the old nun stopped and looked at Linde with her bulging and lifeless eyes.

Praise the Sun

Linde thought to himself, “The players will definitely like this book.”

He pried open the white finger bones that were tightly holding the book, picked up the book, and began to flip through it.

This is a thin book written in black ink.

A hymn?
Lind didn't know the tune, so he read according to the rhythm of the two tigers and found that they were surprisingly in tune.

A puzzling book, it seems to be telling a period of history, or sharing some knowledge, or more like a simple song of praise.

He closed the thin book and found that the old nun was staring at him nervously. "Can you tell me in detail how they became like this?" Linde felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze, as if in her eyes, his body would be twisted into some kind of monster in the next moment.

She said, "A potion that steals the power of God."

"Magic potion!" Lind was a little excited. His previous life was not a genius in cultivation. He was not qualified to be a church knight, nor could he be a powerful person who could fly and hide.

Taking drugs can make you stronger, which is perfect for me.

"After taking it, you will hear the whispers of God." The old nun tried to stop Lind's thoughts. She had seen this expression on too many people: "The wise become more insane, the foolish sacrifice their flesh and blood, the obsessed become more paranoid, and only those chosen by God can live forever."

He looked at Lind, as if he thought Lind was a fool, or an obsessive person, not even smart, so he had no intention of telling him the information about the potion.

These clergymen with twisted bodies are probably all "fools".

"Yes, of course, God always chooses some special people." Linde nodded and thought to himself: It just so happens that there are God's chosen ones in my territory, they are definitely God's chosen ones.

He was finally able to expand his product line.

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

Lind has a better way to get information from a mysterious old lady.

"Eluna"

"Okay, Eluna." Lind nodded, and he tucked the book under his armpit: "I am Lind, the lord of Star Dragon Outpost. A group of strange people appeared there. I think they may be the chosen ones you mentioned, but their behavior is not very serious." Lind said: "Eluna, if you are interested, I would like to invite you to my territory to continue to spread the teachings of the sun."

He paused, and then said, "For this, I will provide you with enough food and shelter from the wind and rain."

Eluna's cheek twitched slightly, and then she nodded: "I think you might also be the Chosen One. Please follow me. There might be something you need there."

"Of course, thank you very much!" Lind smiled.

For an old and helpless lady who has been staying in a dilapidated church, it is probably the limit for her to hold on until now. Winter is not as easy as summer.

Lind also believed that the other party would not refuse. Even if the church really had food, there should not be much left after half a year.

While obtaining the so-called potion of stealing God's authority, you can also recruit an old nun NPC who seems to be full of praises and talking nonsense. Where can you find such a good deal?

Dear players, I have found a poster girl for you. Although her face is full of wrinkles, her temper is not bad.

This is just a joke, he would never find a mentally ill old lady to be the poster girl, unless he wants to push the undead players away. Players are creatures that depend on appearance, and looking good is the most important thing.

The mysterious NPC will satisfy the imagination of many players and give people a feeling that there is a hidden plot. Lind can also take this opportunity to let Elna Momo give some specific tasks.

But, we absolutely cannot let Elna Momo be the poster girl!

He cannot issue all the tasks himself. If Lind wants to make Star Dragon Outpost a gathering place for players, he must improve its functions and have multiple types of NPCs.

It would be best to turn it into a real novice village.

Before officially hiring, he must have some requirements for speech skills. I believe Eluna Momo can do it. After all, the church clergy are professionals in speech skills.

Linde followed Eluna Momo to a room at the back of the church. There was a collapsed bookshelf with a sheepskin book about 30 cm long on it.

He picked up the diary of the so-called "Stealing God's Authority" and gently brushed off the dust.

"Clory's Diary"
