Chapter 278 277. Dark Goddess Celine
In the eyes of the magician Antonio, the members of the Black Magic Priory are a group of heretics, they are a group of street rats that everyone shouts and beats.
The Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union and the battle priests of the temple also have zero tolerance for the Priory. Once members of the Priory are found, they will definitely be traced to the end and completely eradicated from the root.
In Suldak's eyes, these members of the Black Magic Priory were nothing to worry about.
As long as their whereabouts are disclosed to the law enforcement team of the Magic Union, there will be special magicians who want them. He wondered what kind of involvement Selena would have with the black magic hermit, and he couldn't help guessing in his heart: Could it be from Will the Black Arts Hermitage defect from the mage?
Then he immediately denied his guess. If she is a magician, can she still be short of money?
At this time, Selena had already adjusted her collapsed emotions. She stood up straight and took a deep look at Suldak: "Can I trust you?"
Suldak didn't speak, but pointed to the knight badge on his chest, and said, "I swear on the honor of the knight."
Selena lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her teeth, twitched for a while, and then made up her mind and said: "Since you want to know, come with me! Actually, you could have known earlier..."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the somewhat simple stone house, followed by Suldak. This stone house has only one room. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the wooden table and chairs in the living room. The wooden bed was built with double-layer partitions to form a hammock, covered with thick hay mats and white-washed linen sheets on the mats.
The fireplace was on the wall opposite the bed, and next to it stood a wooden table with a plate full of chestnuts, an earthenware plate with a fist-sized piece of bacon and a small piece of cassava, and the embers from the fireplace Not extinguished, a piece of cassava showed burnt skin from the grass ash. It seemed that this piece of roasted cassava should be lunch for two people.
There are almost no valuable furnishings in the whole house, but it looks very warm under the careful decoration of the owner. Selena closed the door, and the room became much darker. She stood beside the square table, with her long chestnut hair pulled up high, revealing a section of her snow-white neck.
Facing Suldak with her back, she slowly unbuttoned the skirt, and the long linen skirt was piled on her feet.
The smooth back and slender legs outline the most outstanding figure. Surdak's eyes fell on her back, and he saw a whole black tattoo. It was a bust sunken in the ground, a woman with The woman with a perfect face raised one arm high, and raised her head to look up from the ground well. The face and body of the figure were engraved with strange runes, and a pair of empty eyes looked up at the night sky through the abyss underground.
Behind the bust is a hollowed-out crescent moon, an eye with long eyelashes, and a magic scepter as a line to outline the emblem. The hollowed-out black crescent moon is in Suldak The eyes are extremely eye-catching.
This tattoo almost covered Selena's entire back, and Suldak asked in surprise, "What is this...magic pattern?"
But what his real eyes saw was a completely different scene. When Selena took off her long skirt, the black mist that surrounded Selena and the woman hidden in the black mist turned into a black streak. The vortex was sucked into Selena's body bit by bit, blending into her body like ink, and imprinted on her bare back.
Selena squatted down, picked up the long skirt that fell at her feet and protected her chest, turned her head and said to Suldak with a blushing face:
"This is not a magic pattern, but a mark."
It was as if some kind of power descended on Selena, and a crescent-like mark appeared between her brows, as if she had changed for a moment.
The only difference is that Selina doesn't seem to need to offer a sacrifice, as long as she wants that power to integrate into her body, she can do it anytime, anywhere.
Before Suldak could say anything, Selina continued: "As the one chosen by the goddess—an apostle of the goddess of darkness, or the priest of the temple of darkness, my mission is to The Empire spreads the teachings of the Dark Goddess."
Apostle of the Goddess of Darkness? Priest of the Dark Temple? Spreading the teachings of the Dark Goddess...
Suldak didn't expect that Selina was actually a believer, but as the messenger who spread the teachings of the Dark Goddess, shouldn't she leave footprints in various provinces of the Grimm Empire and preach to the people of the Grimm Empire the glory of believing in the Dark Goddess? ?
"Since you are the apostle of the Goddess of Darkness, why did you live in seclusion in Wall Village...?" Suldak found it inconceivable.
But... don't the people of the Green Empire believe in the Statue of Liberty? Suldak thought in his heart.
Selena also showed a helpless wry smile at this time. She put the long skirt back on her body, and then asked Suldak to sit down, "Even if you are the apostle of the goddess, you must first ensure that you can live. Almost everyone in the entire empire is Believers of the Statue of Liberty, it is not easy to persuade the stubborn Green people to change their beliefs, and an apostle like me will be regarded as a heretic by the priests in the Temple of Liberty. The priests in those temples may save the world, but only alone will have no mercy on us."
"But you... as the apostle of the Goddess of Darkness, shouldn't you be blessed by the Goddess and gain some extraordinary power?... No matter how you look at it now, it's a bit too miserable!" Suldak thought of Selena He actually wanted to commit himself to marrying a knight like him, so he asked very puzzled.
Selina shook her head, "There is no soil for sowing dark teachings in this continent, and there are no believers. You can't harvest the power of faith at all. Naturally, the goddess of darkness will not issue oracles. This place should be a corner forgotten by the goddess. "
"With the power you have, you shouldn't live in seclusion in such a remote village and live such a hard life. Are you still a penance?" Suldak asked.
At this time, the imprint on Selina's body disappeared little by little, and turned into a black mist around her again, and the figure of the woman in the black mist faded to almost non-existent.
The crescent moon mark on Selena's eyebrows also slowly disappeared. Selena looked up at Suldak, and what made her feel a little relieved was that Seldak didn't do anything radical after knowing her identity. Behavior, she has met too many people. After learning her true identity, some hope that she can stay away, or wish to report her to the priests of the temple as soon as possible, or hope to get her from her. Get some benefits from her body, after all, she is the one chosen by the Goddess of Darkness.
Every time Selena wants to tell those people, the dark goddess Celine is just a **** with few believers, and she can't even perform ordinary miracles.
‘Perhaps it is Selena who wants to preach the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness to others, so that people will be misunderstood as an ominous person. ’ Suldak thought so.
Selena shook her head slightly, "No, I'm not an ascetic monk. If I pray to the goddess in exchange for bread and milk, I will certainly improve the life here, and I will never let myself live in such a tight situation..."
In fact, Suldak is not a believer in the Statue of Liberty, so he doesn't care what Selina believes in. He just thinks that she is probably the most miserable priest in the world.
At this time, he thought of his own sacrifice ceremony again. He provided sacrifices to the demon **** and obtained the power from the demon **** accordingly. Does this situation also belong to heretics in the eyes of the battle priest of the temple?
"Because of this, those members of the Black Arts Priory want to find you?" Suldak asked.
Selena nodded silently, looking like a poor kitten, looking at Suldak without blinking.
Suldak felt that he should give Selena some comfort at this time, so he gently held the soft hand stretched out from the opposite side of the table, and said, "We have a lot of things that need to be prepared in advance..."
