Chapter 1413 Daru Temple
"Where's the way?" Sylvia looked at the road leading to different directions, then looked at the bustling crowds in the square, and turned around and asked.
"The traces are broken." Leo looked down at the ground. The track traces that were not very clear before were completely covered by other tracks and human tramplings. He could no longer tell where the carriage was finally heading.
"If I were to choose, I would choose that place." After hearing this, Sylvia thought for a while, pointed to the Temple of Daru and said.
Leo nodded when he heard this and said, "I think so too."
In fact, when he discovered that Joan took away and Penny's carriage came from the Black Market Chamber of Commerce, the Black Market Chamber of Commerce was related to the joint association in the Black City District. The supporter behind the joint association was the Daru Church, his search target was already set on the temple of the Daru Church.
The reason why he made a judgment so quickly was that when his spiritual network scanned the entire city, only a few places were difficult to penetrate, such as the main sanctuary, temples, etc. of various churches, and the Temple of Daru is one of them.
In addition, Penny's ability may not be strong enough, but her use of basic psychic skills is no less than that of any psychic. With her own hunter ability, even ordinary church knights are difficult to deal with. What's more, there is a quasi-paladin Joan next to her. If you want to control these two people cleanly in a short time, it is probably not something that ordinary people can do. Obviously, there should be no such people in the Black City area, and only bishop-level figures in various churches have the ability to do this.
More importantly, Leo just scanned the Black City District through the Spirit Network and wanted to find the Dalu Church missionary who gave the pendant to the president of the Black Market Chamber of Commerce. He found that he was not in his missionary church. The servant in the church mentioned in the conversation that the missionary went to the dock area early in the morning and seemed to be in a hurry. He received a letter before leaving.
Leo didn't know what caused Joan and Penny to get involved in this matter, or was it just for Joan or Penny, but now he needs to do what he needs to find Joan and Penny first and then talk about other things.
The two people who made the decision walked towards the Daru Temple. Although the daily missionary rituals have ended, there are still many people coming and going on the streets leading to the Daru Temple. Not all of these people are believers in Daru, many of them are aimed at the scenery of the Daru Temple.
The Daru Church chose to build a temple on this prominent cliff not as a result of a whim, but a final decision after careful investigation. After the temple was completed, it became a scenic spot in Port Saint Perilla.
Nowadays, this calm and cloudless weather is not the most suitable time to see the scenery in the Daru Temple. The most suitable time is in the storm, because at that time, there was a chance to see Daru appear in the storm. Because of this reason, a large number of Daru believers go to the observation deck of the Daru Temple in the storm every year, hoping to see Daru. Some people are lucky to see the miracles in their hearts, while others are unlucky and blown off the cliff by the storm and disappear into the storm below.
However, even so dangerous, every time a storm occurs at sea, a large number of believers still go to the Temple of Daru. In order to protect these believers, the Temple of Daru has set up iron chains and other protective measures on the road leading to the cliffs and the observation deck, but the effect is not significant.
The Temple of Daru did not object to non-believers visiting the observation deck, and was even willing to accept it, so there were no checkpoints or other things on the way. Leo and Sylvia also came to the small square outside the Temple of Daru with other tourists.
The main body of the Daru Temple is located at the top of the cliff. A circle of high walls is built around the edge of the cliff, wrapping the entire temple in the high walls. The small square and the observation deck are on the cliff below the temple. This is the end point that ordinary tourists and believers can reach. What you go up is the forbidden area.
After Leo and Sylvia arrived at the small square, they all went to the horse shed not far away. They saw that more than a dozen carriages had parked there. Most of them were very gorgeous. They should be carriages that only rich and nobles could use. Only one carriage looked very old and rough. It was obvious that it was a carriage used to transport goods in the Black City area. However, there was nothing on the carriage. The original carriage was gone. From the pins and locks on the car plate, it could be seen that the carriage part was removable. It should have been parked and even the carriage part was moved away.
"It should be that car." Sylvia said in a deep voice.
Leo looked at the wheel and easily identified the wheels as the previous traces. He nodded and turned to look at the Temple of Daru above.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Temple of Daru is a majestic and solemn building. Anyone who comes to it, even believers of other gods will involuntarily be respected.
The entire temple does not use the white wall stone commonly used in the Port of St. Perria, but the black stone transported from the coldest places in the north as building materials. The overall architectural style is completely different from the gorgeous temples in the Port of St. Perria, the temple is simple, rough and cold. Even in the hot summer, you will feel a cold breath when you enter the temple. The deep environment generated by the surrounding rocks cannot penetrate even the sunlight outside the window. Anyone entering the temple seems to be on the dark and deep seabed.
In this case, even outside the temple, people can feel a chill. This chill makes non-believers who come here dare not even look up at the temple building at the top of the cliff, as if they will be sucked away by the temple after a glance. They lowered their heads one by one to the observation deck, looked at the rumored scenery, and then hurriedly lowered their heads and left.
Among the many people with their heads down, Leo, who looked up at the temple, should have been particularly eye-catching, but the witchcraft runes on him affected the people around him, not only did ordinary tourists ignore him and Sylvia around him, but even the knights of the Daru Church stationed at the entrance turned a blind eye to the two.
"What did you see?" Sylvia asked curiously when she saw Leo staring at the temple for a long time.
Leo did not answer, but just reached out and grabbed Sylvia's palm, and then passed on the things he saw to Sylvia through the spiritual link of the psychic skill.
In an instant, the Daru Temple in front of Sylvia disappeared, replaced by a huge black figure crawling at the top of the cliff. This black figure has no fixed form, and it can only be vaguely seen that it is in the form of a beast, but this beast has a tail similar to a fish.
Although he only saw the image transmitted by Leo, rather than looking at it head-on, and could not intuitively feel the invisible pressure from this huge black shadow, Sylvia could still feel an inexplicable pressure falling on her body.
"Is it Daru?" Sylvia said in a deep voice.
"It should be." Leo nodded, and then said, "But He is much weaker than I expected."
"As a god, I am indeed a little weak." Sylvia nodded in agreement with Leo's opinion.
Including the bonus caused by environmental and geographical factors, although the projection of Daru clone integrated into the temple in front of him is powerful, it seems to be strong on the outside and on the inside in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia, and is not even as good as the White Deer. If divided according to the level of the psychic, Daru is almost equivalent to the eighth level psychic who is about to be promoted, and is only stronger than Sylvia, provided that Sylvia can fully exert all the power in him.
As for a god alone, Dalu is really not worthy of this title. No wonder Dalu Temple was built on a cliff alone. If his temple was built in the White City area, the churches and sacred churches of old churches, he would probably be difficult to even respond to the prayers of the churches. After all, the true gods behind the churches in the city are real gods, not the demigods like Dalu who can only wander in a sea.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Leo withdrew from the state of spiritual vision and stepped onto the steps leading to the temple, and Sylvia followed.
Under normal circumstances, the Temple of Daru will not be open to the public without any rituals. The church armed forces and knights guarding outside the temple will stop the person trying to enter. If there are still people who continue to break in, they will kill the person without hesitation.
But now, Leo and Sylvia walked through the long steps in front of these people and entered the temple. None of these people showed any intention of blocking them. Instead, some people saw Leo and Sylvia greeted them like they met acquaintances they often met, and even took the initiative to open the door to the temple for them.
"Your ability is much more useful than my abyss spell, and my method cannot do this." After entering the main hall of the temple, Sylvia said with some envy.
Leo shook his head and said, "You can do it, but you haven't fully grasped your power yet. Your power has increased too quickly, so fast that it is beyond your control." As he said, he looked at the main hall in front of him and asked, "Look at if there are any traces of the power of the abyss here."
Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia also became serious and carefully checked the surrounding situation through the perception and ability of her abyss race.
At the same time, Leo was not idle either. He looked at the building in front of him carefully and paid special attention to the murals engraved with various mysterious patterns and religious story patterns. At the same time, he also used spiritual networks and other methods to check the surrounding situation.
The main hall is very dim. Even if the sun is shining outside, the windows around the main hall are closed and the sun cannot shine in. An extremely cold breath fills the entire building. Except for the dim light made by the fish oil lamps at the top, there is no other light source.
In the middle of the main hall is a statue of god, but this statue is a bit strange and appears in the shape of a fish tail. This makes Leo unable to help but think of the aquariums he saw in the world of the Sea God. In addition, the face of the statue was not carved, but a huge brazier. The brazier is not burning with flames, but a special deep-sea ice piled up. This ice can only be collected in some places deep in the sea. It does not melt all year round after being dug out of the sea surface, but will produce a fluorescent ice fog. This ice fog will condense in a ball of ever-changing shape and will not dissipate for a long time.
Although many believers of the Daru Church who had suffered shipwrecks had seen Daru appear in the storm before they were rescued, they could not remember Daru's specific appearance after returning to normal. They could only add a human fish tail to Him according to some vague legends without evidence. As for the head, they could not give a unified answer, so they simply canceled it and used the special ice fog of deep sea ice to imitate the changing form of Daru's memory in everyone's memory.
Although Leo and Sylvia could clearly feel the invisible pressure and powerful divine power field emitted by Daru’s incarnation and possession of the temple, the strange thing is that after entering the temple, all the abnormal power disappeared, at least from the surface it felt like it had disappeared, and there was no obstacle to using power such as psychic skills and witchcraft.
However, after careful inspection, Leo could still capture the power contained in the surrounding black stones through the spiritual net. These powers were hidden and restrained, like poisonous snakes curled up, ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemies in the main hall at any time.
Leo, who discovered this, did not let the spiritual net and other power penetrate into the temple black stone, but blew across the surface like a breeze, and then moved to other places, without giving the power contained therein any chance to trigger it.
On the other hand, Sylvia obviously had to gain more than Leo. After she used the power of the Abyss Demon Dragon, she became particularly sensitive to the abyss power around her. She soon discovered something. She pulled Lareo's sleeve and pointed to the brazier filled with deep sea ice on the head of the statue of Daru.
After receiving Sylvia's clear instructions, Leo also placed the scanning object of the spiritual network in the brazier and tried to mobilize the power of the abyss snake to stimulate the power of the abyss in it, but the final result was that he still could not sense the existence of any power of the abyss.
However, Leo did not suspect that Sylvia had a wrong perception. He could only think that his sensitivity to the power of the abyss was far less than that of Sylvia. In addition, the power of the abyss here was very strange and could not be judged by common sense.
When Sylvia saw the expression on Leo's face, she knew that Leo must have not found anything, so she explained: "He should be a high-level abyss, but a reborn abyss."
"Rebirth? Is there any rebirth in the abyss?" Leo was stunned and asked.
The reason he had such a question was because the memory he obtained from the Abyss Snake knew that the abyss upper races could not be reborn in a true sense. They only had the kind of clone projection to enter other worlds, and clone projection died in other worlds, and the projection consciousness would return to the abyss body, but this situation could not be said to be rebirth.
