The architectural form of the prayer house in front of you is completely different from that of the religious places in the Velen world. Its shape is somewhat similar to the church buildings in the old Earth era of the Earth Federation. The pointed arch is surrounded by various reliefs, including sculptures of gods and sculptures.

The sculptures of heroes can be seen from this religious building. This royal city where the gods live worships heroes very much, and even juxtaposes heroes and gods.

After leading Leo and Seredor to the door of this prayer house, the old man with the lantern stopped, then turned around and saluted the two of them. His body gradually disappeared as the flame in the lantern in his hand went out, and finally completely disappeared.

Disappeared in front of the two people.

Leo and Seredor looked at each other and walked towards the prayer house respectively.

"Hey! There's a newcomer here again." Just when the two were about to enter the prayer place, a few sneaky laughter came from the prayer place, and then they saw a man sitting under a stone pillar not far ahead.

A man wearing strange clothes.

I saw that this man was wearing a metal helmet decorated with long horns, covering his head tightly. The eyes were a kind of adjustable telescope, and there was a small opening in the mouth, which seemed to be used for

Talking and breathing.

In addition, this man was wearing a set of exquisite leather armor, with some tools that looked like repairs hung on the leather armor. However, this man had no hands, or rather no pair of normal hands. All he could see was that his hands were a pair of exquisite ones.

The robot arm has a large number of gears spread all over the surface of the arm, covered with a layer of transparent adhesive. The most peculiar thing is that the power used by his arm is actually the crystallized soul.

There is a special device on the back of the robotic arm. This device is mechanically connected to the main body of the arm that has no wiring. There are also a large number of patterns similar to the Turing root on the device. Two souls the size of fingernails.

The crystals were stuck on the special device. The patterns around the device all emitted a faint light at the moment, and penetrated deep into the arm.

In addition to the eye-catching clothes and arms of this man, the two weapons placed on his side are also very eye-catching. They are a pair of small barrel-like handguns, and they are equipped with two blades at both ends of the handguns.

, you can use it as a melee weapon when necessary. Although this pair of weapons looks very powerful, you may need a lot of strength and endurance to use this pair of weapons.

It's just that compared to Seledor's novelty about this unseen weapon, Leo is more interested in knowing the origin of these weapons, because he has seen the shape of this pair of blunderbuss before, including Jean Valjean's hand cannon.

It is very similar to this opponent's gun. The only difference is that the tail of the hand cannon lacks decorations such as an ammunition loader and a pair of blades for close combat.

Although this weird man spoke first and attracted the attention of Leo and the others, Leo and the others did not stay on this person for too long because there were others in this prayer hall who deserved the attention of the two of them.

Object.

The inside of this prayer hall looks like an amphitheater, with a circle of stone stands surrounding the altar. All of these stands are now damaged. Judging from the situation, it should be the damage caused by the force that caused the hole in the roof of the prayer hall.

, a large amount of ashes fell in from the holes and accumulated into a thick layer of dust on the ground, covering the original appearance of the stands.

In the stands, there are seven people sitting or standing in an orderly manner. These seven people should be three groups of people. Among them, a woman who looks like a nun and two knights should be one group of people. The other three warriors wearing strange armors are

One group of people, and an old man sitting alone by the campfire reading a book should be one group. Counting the weirdo who just spoke and Leo, there are five different forces in this small prayer house.

In addition to these people in the prayer room, there is another thing that attracts attention. This thing is a bonfire in the pit that was originally an altar in the center of the prayer room. This bonfire burned a pile of bones of unknown creatures.

The flame is not strong, but it gives people a warm feeling. This warm feeling comes from the warmth of the soul, just like the flame created by Leo through the soul bonfire rune.

Although the people inside the prayer place seem to be sitting in a very casual position, if you look closely, you will find that their position also represents their status in this prayer place, or their strength.

The old man reading a book who is closest to the bonfire and almost leaning against the bonfire should be the strongest among them, followed by the nun and the two knights, while the other three warriors are slightly weaker, and the weakest one is probably leaning against the door.

Standing next to the pillar, the weirdo who was only swept by the afterglow of the bonfire was probably the weakest one.

"Hey, you have to be careful! The seats here are not for casual sitting." Just as Leo and Seledor were about to walk into the prayer house and passed by the weirdo, the weirdo suddenly reminded him.

road.

"You're injured, and you're seriously injured." Leo stopped, squatted down, looked at the weirdo, pointed at the waist covered by the weirdo, and said.

"Haha! Thank you for your reminder. Without your reminder, I wouldn't have known I was injured!" The weirdo smiled sarcastically and said angrily.

Leo didn't pay attention to the other party's cynicism and said calmly: "You seem to have misunderstood me. What I meant is that you are injured and I can heal you."

The weirdo stopped breathing after hearing Leo's words. He was obviously shocked by Leo's words. When other people in the prayer center heard Leo's words, they all looked at Leo in unison and instantly made Leo pray.

The focus within.

However, after the weirdo recovered from the shock, he immediately shook his head in complete disbelief and said: "How is this possible? You didn't even see what my injury looked like, and you arrogantly said that you can cure me."

Injury, let me tell you, I..."

When the weirdo was about to say something, he suddenly stopped. His body was shaking violently, and the wound covered by his hand seemed to have something trying to struggle out.

"Catch him." Leo ordered Seredor, then squatted down and quickly untied the leather armor from the weirdo's waist.

Seledor didn't know what Leo was going to do, but he trusted Leo very much and without hesitation, he knelt down and held down the weirdo's body.

Seeing Leo and Seredor's actions, the nun's face changed slightly, and she was about to say something, but the knight next to her stopped her and motioned for him not to speak, while the other three warriors had expressions on their faces.

Leo looked at the three of them with a sneer, and their hands reached for the weapons at their waists. It seemed that they were preparing for battle. The only one who was indifferent to this situation was the old man, who seemed to be focusing all his attention on

With the book in his hand, all his senses of the outside world disappeared. No matter how loud the movement was, he couldn't take his eyes away from the book.

At this time, Leo had already untied the weirdo's leather armor, exposing the weirdo's belly. The weirdo's hand that was pressing hard on the wound seemed to be unable to continue exerting force because of Seledor, causing his arm to inevitably collapse.

It loosened a little, and this moment of relaxation caused the thing covering his wound to break away from his restraint, get out of the gap in the leather armor, and rush towards Leo who was about to check the wound.

It's just that Leo seemed to have anticipated this situation, so when the thing rushed over, he had already blocked his hand in front and grabbed the thing.

"No, don't touch that!" Just when he grabbed the thing, Seredor seemed to have thought of something and shouted loudly.

However, it was already too late for him to scream. Leo had already grasped the thing firmly in his hand. At this time, everyone else in the prayer center knew something. Some showed pity to Leo, and some looked at him with pity.

Some showed disgust, and some showed unabashed expressions of hostility and gloating.

Leo opened his hand and looked at the thing he grabbed. He saw that the thing was like a thick black oil, extremely soft, and the surface was very sticky. He just touched it, touched it

The area where it reached was firmly stuck, and Leo could clearly feel that the mass was seeping into his palm at an extremely fast speed.

"Hurry and cut off your hand, otherwise it will be too late." Seeing Leo stunned, Seredor thought that Leo was controlled by what he thought was some kind of power, and quickly raised the big sword in his hand and pointed at Leo.

Ou grabbed the hand and chopped off the mass.

"I'm fine, don't be nervous." Although Seredor drew his sword very quickly and decisively, Leo's movements were even faster. When Seredor raised his sword, he had already dodged to the side, and his sword swing missed.

Seledor, who was about to use his second sword, said.

"Are you okay?" Hearing Leo's words, Seredor looked surprised. But even more surprised than him were all the people in the prayer house, including the weirdo next to him, and even the old man who had always lowered his head to look after him.

Attracted by this sentence, he raised his head and looked at Leo, waiting for Leo's response.

"I'm indeed fine. When this thing encounters me, it's like meeting a natural enemy." Leo smiled very easily, then raised the hand that grabbed the thing and placed it in front of Seredor.

Seredor saw the thing suddenly trembling violently, as if an intelligent creature had encountered something extremely terrifying. It moved quickly with the thing, as if it wanted to escape from Leo's palm.

However, Leo's palm seemed to have sucked the black oil object into his palm, making it impossible for the object to escape from his palm. Moreover, the object seemed to be rapidly decreasing and weakening due to some force, and finally completely disappeared.

disappeared into Leo's palm.

"This? What is going on? Where is the human pus?" Seredor exclaimed.

At the same time, other people in the prayer center also exclaimed, and the eyes they looked at Leo also became a little strange, with both expectation and suspicion.

"This thing is not bad!" Leo smiled slightly and did not directly answer Seledor's words.

Leo didn't know what the human pus in Seredor's mouth was, but he knew very well that when he passed by the weirdo just now, his chaotic stomach had a strong hunger for the mass at the weirdo's wound.

This feeling of hunger is like that of a person who has been hungry for more than ten days and sees a table of unparalleled delicacies. Fortunately, Leo's willpower is the strongest. Otherwise, he might directly pounce on the weirdo's wound and kill the weirdo.

Eat the stuff.

So when he grabbed the thing and it tried to penetrate into his body, Leo didn't stop it at all. Instead, he controlled the body's instinctive resistance mechanism and allowed the thing to penetrate into his body until it penetrated deep enough.

Perhaps when he could easily escape, he guided the gluttonous power of the Chaos Stomach to surround the mass, and finally swallowed the mass effortlessly, and the Chaos Stomach also had a very rare feeling of fullness.

.

In addition to making the Chaos Stomach feel full, Leo also felt that after the Chaos Stomach digested the stuff, it brought many benefits to his body, and the biggest benefit was that it gave him some resistance to the surrounding environment.

sex.

After entering the royal city, Leo felt that the surrounding environment exerted a suppressive force on his body and strength. Although this suppressive force was not strong, it could continue to affect him. Even as he approached the center of the city,

This repressive force is getting stronger and stronger.

According to Leo's estimation, by the time he reaches the center of the City of Gods, this suppressive force will become unprecedentedly powerful, and eventually his power will be truly and completely suppressed.

But now that he had digested this mass of human pus through the power of gluttony, he immediately felt that the suppressive force around him had weakened a lot. Although the suppressive force still could not be eradicated, it was indeed a good start, so he also

Curious about the origin of human pus.

"Do you know what this human pus is about?" Leo asked Seredor out of curiosity.

Before Seledor could speak, the weirdo lying next to him took the initiative and said: "This is the product of the abyss and sinners. People injured by the power of the abyss will be infected with the filth of the abyss. Only by coming to the bonfire in time can they be burned by the bonfire."

, to be able to clean up the filth, but for people like me who fail to reach the campfire in time, the filth of the abyss will merge with the sins on my body, and eventually produce something like human pus." As he said this, he couldn't help but feel.

Looking at Leo curiously, he asked: "How could you be fine? People possessed by human pus will turn into abyss monsters, but you are fine at all. How did you do it?"

The question asked by the weirdo was also the question that everyone else in the prayer center wanted to know the most. Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears and planned to listen carefully to Leo's answer.

However, Leo didn't even think about explaining it, and asked directly to the weirdo: "I just said that I can save you. You don't understand me, so you have that attitude. Now you should already know my...

Ability, then do you want to be rescued and cured?"

"Yes, of course I do!" Although he didn't get the answer he wanted to know, the weirdo said quickly.
