Chapter 1001 Lighthouse
"Although he is a hardliner, he is not unaware of flexibility. Among the senior clergy of the Sea God Church I have seen, he should be the one who looks the most like a politician. Everything is considered based on interests," Sylvia explained when she saw Leo's face and looked suspiciously: "So, as long as you can deal with people like him, as long as you can afford enough benefits that make him move or enough problems that make him give up interests, then things will be easy to get things done," she said, "It's not like other clergy who speaks God's will at once, and does not give you any room for negotiation."
Although Sylvia did not say in detail, it was not difficult for Leo to feel her resentment from her tone. Obviously, she should have been angry with clergy from the Sea God Church in the past.
Seeing that Sylvia had found a good negotiator and Leo, who knew little about the Church of the Sea God, was not very troublesome, and he gave advice indiscriminately. He just asked Sylvia to call him when the Bishop Barron arrived, and then he left the office and walked towards the Black Castle lighthouse located on the edge of the cliff.
The lighthouse that existed before the emergence of Black Castle was built on the bow rock protruding outward at the edge of the Wanghai Cliff. This rock is famous for its protruding bow shape, but it was also known as Death Rock in ancient times.
Because directly below the top of the bow rock is the most famous dark tide coast of Wanghai Cliff. If you jump down from here, you will be swept away by the dark tide, and even the body cannot be found. Therefore, for a long time, there was a rumor that this place leads to the kingdom of God, but because living people cannot bear the power of the ocean, they will be swept away by ocean currents halfway, and only the dead can safely reach their final destination.
Therefore, Landoal was popular for a long time when people died, throwing people into the cold wave coast below, allowing the corpse to be swept away along with the coffin and disappearing in the sea forever. In the eyes of the families of the deceased, the deceased entered the kingdom of the gods and enjoyed happiness forever.
Later, the Church of the Sea God developed in Randall, and the bow rock became the designated place for the Church of the Sea God to hold various rituals. Most of the religious rituals that Leo saw from the information were held here, and there are still some religious rituals that they choose to be held here until today.
However, this place has become a private land after all, so the Sea God Church also needs to pay some price for the rituals here.
When the Black Castle was built, the Inge royal family did not demolish the lighthouse because of the interference of the Sea God Church. Instead, they built a wall around the lighthouse and opened an exclusive road from the inner castle to the lighthouse.
After Sylvia took over Black Castle, she built two doors at both ends of the road. The doors were specially made of a kind of evil-repelling wood, and some Turing roots were carved on the surface. The main function of these Turing roots is to disperse special energy.
I don’t know if Sylvia thinks that the effect of Turing roots alone is not enough, so she also installed two improved energy interference devices on both sides of the door.
When Leo said last night that he planned to go to the lighthouse to take a look, Sylvia told him about the lighthouse.
When she took over Black Castle, she also heard about the lighthouse, so she paid special attention to the lighthouse and conducted a series of inspections on the lighthouse, but the result was that no abnormality could be found.
But even so, Sylvia was still in awe of the lighthouse because she always felt that the lighthouse was full of a powerful force, but she didn't know what this powerful force was and where it came from. She could not even find out some evidence of this powerful force that made her feel vague through various methods.
If it is an ordinary person, it will only be an illusion caused by his excessive tension, but Sylvia did not think so and still attached great importance to this lighthouse, which is why these two doors and two energy interference devices are found.
When Leo passed by the two doors and the energy interference device, he confirmed it himself and found that although they did not play a big role, they also had some effects. At least he could feel that the power of the abyss in his body was also affected by these two things.
When you pass through the gate and enter the lighthouse, Leo feels that the repulsion of extraordinary powers around you has reached the extreme, and even spiritual energy can no longer be used. It is more than ten times stronger than the repulsion power of Black Castle.
The same abyss power was not rejected anymore, but this also made Leo discover a detail. This detail made Leo feel that the situation here is completely different from the abyss rift. This detail is that the repulsive power here only rejects all forces except the abyss, but it does not give the abyss power a certain blessing effect like the abyss realm created by the abyss rift, so that the abyss power can exert extraordinary power that cannot be exerted anywhere else.
It is precisely this subtle difference that makes Leo sure that the situation here is not the abyss realm, but simply rejecting all extraordinary powers except the abyss.
This lighthouse is a typical flange lighthouse with a huge square base, a straight tower body, and a spherical lamppost at the top. The flange people call it the hammer of light, while people from other countries prefer to call it by their male genitals.
On the surface, there is nothing worth paying attention to in this lighthouse, it is a lighthouse. The only difference between it and other lighthouses is that in front of the lighthouse, there is an altar with the most prominent point of the bow corner. Judging from the stone, this altar should have been built later.
Leo did not climb to the lighthouse, but walked to the altar to take a look, then to the top of the bow corner at the front of the altar. Perhaps to facilitate the sacrifice, no protective device was set up here. A flat stone road extended to the front and then disappeared, replaced by a towering cliff.
Standing on the edge, Leo stretched his head and looked at the dark tide sea below. What caught its eyes was a calm and deep sea surface, a strange sea surface.
Not far away, the rolling waves were as high as more than ten meters, slapped heavily on the reefs along the coast, as if they were about to smash the reefs. But when the waves approached this sea area, the furious ocean seemed to be comforted by some unknown force, and all the waves calmed down instantly and became as calm as other parts of the sea area.
However, it was this calm sea that produced a force that Leo could not perceive. This force easily passed through all the defenses of his body, affected his thinking, and made him involuntarily develop a strong urge to jump down.
However, Leo's willpower was extraordinary after all. He quickly suppressed this impulse, retracted his gaze from the sea, and retreated to the altar behind.
Leo knew that the situation just now was not entirely because of the mysterious power hidden in the ocean below. This special environment would also make people who look from top to bottom have a strong urge to jump down, and that extraordinary power just magnifies this impulse.
Leo also felt that this situation should not be the norm, it was just a coincidence, and even others did not know about this situation. Otherwise, Sylvia would definitely remind him to pay attention.
However, there is one thing that Leo is sure of now, that is, the mysterious power contained in the dark tide sea below the Wanghai Cliff is not the same as the mysterious power contained in the Wanghai Cliff itself, because the essence of the two forces is completely different.
In order to confirm his guess, Leo once again stretched his head out of the platform and looked at the sea below. However, the strong impulse that had just been produced did not appear again. The mysterious power on the sea below had disappeared, and all that was left was the impulse generated by normal psychology.
At this time, the sea surface was no longer absolutely calm. The waves rushing from outside gradually pushed the sea surface ups and downs, and eventually made the sea water below become as rough as other coasts and splashed everywhere.
Seeing this scene, the first thing that came to Leo's mind was the corpse collector who had become his mortal enemies. He felt like the corpse collector was taking advantage of his unpreparedness and exerted his power to try to make him jump into the sea and then capture him.
But this idea was quickly denied by Leo because if he was really a corpse collector, his power would never be so weak. Moreover, entering the world of Viron would be extremely dangerous for a god like him, who was not Viron. It is obviously not cost-effective to make such a great contribution just for his uncatched prey. No one who is a little wise and knows how to calculate gains and losses will not do this, let alone a god.
This can only show that there is a hidden force in the sea below. This force will not appear normally, and will only be revealed only when a specific condition is met. As for what this specific condition is, Leo is not clear at the moment. As for whether this force swept away those corpses, further evidence is needed to find to get the answer.
Leo withdrew and carefully inspected the altar. After finding nothing useful, he walked up to the lighthouse.
The situation inside the lighthouse is very simple, it is composed of four-story spiral ladders, a lighthouse top and three-story platforms. Each platform should be used to stack debris or prepared for the tower guards, but now the things have been cleaned up, leaving only an empty platform.
Originally, Leo thought that there was nothing to investigate on these platforms that had been cleared. After all, when clearing the debris on the platform, whether it was the people of the Sea God Church or others, they should have carefully checked the place. It was impossible for anything that had not been discovered. However, when Leo passed through the first platform and walked up the spiral ladder leading to the upper level, halfway down the spiral ladder, and inadvertently looked down the platform, he found some abnormal places.
"Is this..." Leo immediately stopped after discovering the abnormality, and then carefully checked the abnormalities he found. After confirming that he was not wrong, Leo quickly walked upwards, and then stood at different positions on each floor of the spiral ladder, looking at the platform. Finally, he said with suspicion: "High Tower Wizard actually got involved?"
The abnormality that Leo discovered just now is actually a very special tower emblem. This emblem is composed of dozens of stone slabs. The colors of these stone slabs and other stone slabs on the surface of the platform are not much different. Only by standing in a specific position on the spiral ladder can you vaguely see a little abnormality. Even if you see it, you will involuntarily ignore it. However, Leo is not a tower wizard, but someone who knows the tower has a profound impression of this emblem.
This insignia is the exclusive mark of a tower wizard. The tower wizard is named Carresius Brick. He is not the powerful tower wizard, but he is the most famous of the tower wizards. Because the tower is named after him, he is the standard setter of all wizard towers built by the tower wizard and the builder of the first tower.
Later, in order to commemorate this sage, the tower wizards would use various special methods to print their emblems on the high towers they built, which also made the tower popular for a period of time. Some good people even wrote a booklet with special instructions for this game. It was from this booklet that Leo got information about Carresius Blake and his emblems.
This lighthouse is obviously the wizard tower built by the wizard wizard, but this wizard tower is completely different from the wizard tower that Leo had seen before, and there is no mysterious thing related to the wizard tower.
For this reason, Leo returned to the outside of the lighthouse, carefully inspected it, and entered the lighthouse, starting from the bottom one by one, but never found any clues related to the more mysterious power. In the end, Leo could only solve the problem and put it on the top light.
Leo came to the top of the lighthouse. He did not rush to search for clues, but walked to the periphery of a waiting and viewing corridor and looked at the sea ahead.
Although the sea in the distance is covered by gray fog, it can still make people feel its magnificence. With Leo's extraordinary perception, you can still vaguely feel that a giant is slowly moving in the gray fog on the sea.
Leo didn't look at him for too long, so he withdrew his gaze and returned to the huge lighting at the top of the tower.
This lighting lamp is completely the same as a lighting lamp hundreds of years ago. There is a huge brazier in the middle, surrounded by copper mirrors with rotation angles on three sides, and surrounded by crystal glass polished with special methods.
When night comes, as long as a bonfire is lit here, the light of the bonfire will fall on the surrounding bronze mirrors, and then refract from the bronze mirrors to the surrounding glass crystals. The light is projected out through the glass crystals with the concentration effect. This light is extremely bright, and even ships from the sea can see it.
