Chapter 647: The Ritual of Faith(1/2)
In the carriage, only Enzo was left.
Originally, Nicole and her mother were preparing to leave and leave the carriage for Enzo alone. However, Enzo planned to learn more about their beliefs, so they took the initiative to let them stay.
The two did not object.
"I wonder what Ms. Elena is planning to go to the Cold?" Enzo asked as if nothing had happened.
As a mother, Elena has removed her disguise.
This is a beautiful woman who looks about thirty years old, with an intoxicating temperament on her body. Enzo is completely immune to this, but he infers in his heart that this temperament should only be related to the god she believes in.
"Is it her?" Enzo's thoughts flashed.
Although he has not yet been completely certain, he has already inferred about Elena's belief that he is a god he has seen.
Next to him, Nicole sat there obediently.
"To be honest, Lord Enzo." Elena said in a gentle tone, "Little Nicole and I were originally nobles of the Red Fort Kingdom. Because of the inspiration of the gods, we became loyal believers of the great goddess."
"This time I went to the Cold Land to spread faith for my Lord."
As he said that, a hint of solemn appeared on Elena's face.
"The Kingdom of Kaiyuan is in civil strife. A meaningless war will only bring death and sacrifice. According to the prophecy of our Lord, the world is about to usher in a change, and only those who believe in our Lord can survive this catastrophe."
"So that's it." Enzo nodded slightly, but felt helpless in his heart.
The way these gods spread their faith is really the same. First, they weave a huge lie, which makes people panic in the form of a prophecy of the end of the world, and then appear in the form of a savior.
If you use some extraordinary means casually, you will be regarded as a miracle by people.
In the northern continent, such inferior means may not be able to deceive too many people, because in a society ruled by wizards, extraordinary power is everywhere, but this method is very effective in abandoned places with scarce information.
Enzo wants to continue asking.
At this time, the carriage stopped again, and a hint of nervousness appeared on Nicole's face, but the voice of the brigade boss came from outside.
"It's dark, ready to camp."
Then, the car door was also opened, and the brigade owner respectfully said, "Sir Enzo, if you don't mind, please have dinner with us."
Enzo nodded.
The three of them walked out of the carriage together. An iron pot had been set up next to the fire, and the broth was being boiled inside. The tempting aroma came to their faces.
The brigade boss diligently prepared food for Enzo.
Compared to others, Enzo's food is obviously more hearty, in addition to the broth, there are also rabbit meat roasted from charcoal and soft wheat bread.
However, Enzo doesn't have much demand for food.
The wizard of all spirits no longer needs to eat. Through meditation, he can absorb the energy between the surrounding heaven and earth to replenish himself. However, Enzo still maintains the habit of three meals a day. After a simple dinner, he prepares to return to the carriage.
At this time, fine white snowflakes floated in the sky.
The seasons of the abandoned land are not much different from those of the northern continent. Winter has arrived long ago, and this is not the first snow this year. The cold weather has caused most animals in the forest to hibernate.
Enzo looked around and suddenly noticed that Elena and her daughter were missing.
"Ms. Elena and Miss Nicole seem to have gone to the stream over there." The brigade owner saw Enzo's expression and chuckled, ": Women are this trouble, and they have too high hygiene requirements."
Enzo nodded slightly.
It seems that Elena and her daughter should be planning to cleanse their bodies. After all, they had just experienced a battle during the day and were inevitably stained with blood.
And then, Enzo suddenly felt a sudden heart.
In the area not far away, he felt a breath of gods, and his eyes seemed to be where Elena and her daughter were.
"Pray? Or sacrifice?"
Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of interest appeared on his face. Elena and her daughter left the brigade, which seemed not to simply cleanse their bodies.
He thought for a while and then walked towards the other side.
Although Enzo has made some inferences about the gods that Elena and her daughter believe in, the other party is praying and can confirm it.
Soon, Enzo left the brigade.
When we headed, we were a small forest, and there was a faint sound of water flowing. Although it was winter now, the river water was not completely frozen.
Slap sex!
A sound of whip waving came from the woods. Enzo looked forward and saw such a scene.
Under the night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Next to a stream several meters wide, Nicole, the petite figure, was bare and kneeled on the ground like a slave, presenting the humblest posture. The moonlight shone on her body, emitting an attractive white luster.
Next to Nicole is her mother Elena.
The gentle woman in the daytime looked serious at this moment, and she waved her long whip on Nicole's back with a long whip in her hand. Every time she tried, it seemed that she had used a lot of strength. The intense pain made Nicole's face pale, but there was a strange luster in her eyes.
"All the pain in the world is the gift of the goddess!"
"Great Goddess of Weeping, please accept the humble service of believers and witness the loyalty of our faith in pain!"
Elena muttered something and whipped Nicole's naked back hard.
"It's her!"
Enzo's eyes flashed, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he completely verified his previous inference that the god who Elena and her daughter served was the crying goddess during the Lost Continent.
The old gods of the ancient times, compared to the Goddess of the Night, the Goddess of the Crying God is pitifully weak. According to Enzo's calculation method, the three Goddess of the Crying Goddess of the Night together are probably not as good as the Goddess of the Night.
Such an ancient god can almost be called the shame of the gods.
The authority held by the crying goddess is even more bizarre. Her believers have suffered as a way of sacrifice, which seems to be a bit perverted in the eyes of normal people.
"You can become a god if you play anyway."
Enzo complained in his heart that the wizard world is too vast, so too many gods were born in ancient times.
At the same time, the sacrifices by the stream have also ended.
As Elena thrust her whip hard, Nicole let out a high scream, but there was a hint of joy in the pain, and then she fell to the ground in great weakness, as if she had lost all her strength.
Elena's face was still serious, and she stepped on Nicole's head.
The doctrine of the Goddess of Crying is not only strange, but also has a strict hierarchy among believers. Everything in the lower class belongs to the superior, and naturally includes the body. It also looks like the mother and daughter of the believers of the Goddess of Cryinging, and Nicole is obviously the lower class.
After a while, the ridiculous sacrifice ended.
Enzo originally planned to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something, looked at the sky, hesitated for a while and walked out.
By the stream, the mother and daughter were shocked when they heard the movement.
Nicole grabbed her clothes in a panic, while Elena was quite calm, allowing Enzo to see her naked body.
"Did Lord Enzo feel the goddess' call?"
Elena was not in a short time, her face was filled with solemnity, and she said, "All the sufferings in the world are the tempering of the goddess to the world, including today's bandits. They have no faith to embark on a path of no return."
Enzo's face looked calm and he was unable to complain.
Mortals who are brainwashed by the doctrine of gods almost become extremely paranoid. Even wizards who pursue truth will choose to turn against the truth and become believers because of the power of gods.
As he said that, Elena suddenly raised her feet and stepped on Nicole's head.
"I believe that Lord Enzo has already felt the call of the goddess, so why not join us in the arms of the great crying goddess!"
"Only by feeling pain can the soul be sublimated!"
Elena's tone was filled with a hint of fanaticism, and she bewitched, ": According to the teachings of the great crying goddess, only by accepting the whip of the strong can we feel the pain better, and giving everything to the superior is also a way to sublimate the soul."
As he said that, Elena kicked Nicole in the ass.
The girl with snow-white skin appeared a hint of shyness on her face, but then she firmly grabbed the long whip, got up and walked to Enzo's feet and knelt down.
"Please whip me with your Excellency Enzo!" Nicole's eyes were firm.
In the creed of the Church of the Crying Goddess, the way to absorb the strong is often the weak to endure the suffering. After knowing the identity of Enzo’s Great Knight, Elena had the idea of absorbing Enzo to join the church during the day.
At the same time, according to the church's creed, every lower believer thinks that the superior believer will give everything as glory, and the great crying goddess is watching everything. Only in this way can she get her gift.
Looking at Nicole who was kneeling on the ground, Enzo suddenly felt a trance in his heart.
But in just a moment, he returned to calm, his eyes flashed with a luster of thought, and he immediately understood what had just happened.
Apparently, the crying goddess was watching what was happening here.
Perhaps this is also the way the goddess of crying is to gather believers for herself. Nicole offers a long whip as a ritual. If Enzo chooses to pick up the long whip and give the other party a whip, then he will invisibly establish a faith relationship with the lady of crying.
Once this relationship is established, it means that Enzo becomes a believer.
While obtaining the gift from the goddess of crying, they will also be subject to the other party, thus losing their freedom and becoming increasingly loyal.
Now Enzo disguises himself as a great knight.
Obviously, the crying goddess who was watching everything did not see through this disguise. She only thought Enzo was an ordinary knight, so she used her own authority to absorb Enzo into her own believer.
In place, Enzo's thoughts flashed.
A weak god like the Goddess of Crying is not taken seriously by him at all. The other party is not even qualified to pose a threat to Enzo, but Enzo needs to establish contact with the Goddess of Night through the Goddess of Crying.
To be continued...
