Chapter 923 Understanding the situation

Although this place is called a castle, it is actually very different from the current Knight Castle in Flan. Judging from its overall shape, this castle is more like a city-state with a huge internal area, just like the desert city-state of the Kingdom of Saville.

However, the buildings inside are not the kind of low bungalows. They are all very simple brick and stone houses, and the shapes are nothing special. The only difference is that these houses are high and low, with more than ten floors and three or four floors of low floors. Moreover, the roofs of all houses are steeple, which looks like spires.

Although all houses are the same, the identity of the owner of the house is high and low. The identity of the owner of the house cannot be distinguished from the height of the house, but can only be judged from a unified spire roof.

Those with higher identities will use more expensive materials to build roofs, and make their family badges and some legends into eaves reliefs and place them around the roof. The holy badges of the Mother of the Defiled at the top of the roof will also be made of different materials, and the difference between these materials is the difference in their identities.

Among them, the material with the lowest identity is naturally the most common wood here, while the material with the highest identity is gold.

In the entire castle, among thousands of houses of all sizes, only the holy badge at the top of the Lord's Mansion is made of gold.

Although the lord Prodi is the most noble person in the entire Lyon lord, this is only for ordinary people. From the fact that his mansion is not the center of the castle, we can see that the real ruler here is not him.

The entire city-state is built with the Altar of Mother of Defiledness as the center. The altar is not only the center of the castle, but also the tallest building in the city-state. The shape of this altar is also very strange.

The upper part of the altar is a common stair tower building, but the bracket building below is a cluster of entwined irregular objects. It looks like a ball of hemp rope in the distance, while the paintings close to it look more like entwined snakes. However, unlike snakes, the surface of this irregular building is not carved with scales, but instead a thin layer of black oil is flowing on it.

These black oil substances flow down the edge and fell into the pool below to form a pool of black oil. The black oil seems endless and always flows down. The pool is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much black oil flows down, it cannot increase the black oil in the pool by a minute.

Because there are no religious rituals being held now, there are no people in the square around the altar, only some devout families and clergy who are doing things like prayer.

After Leo and Sylvia arrived at the edge of the square of the altar, they found a place to sit down, and then observed the surrounding situation and collected useful information.

Leo listened to the verses chanted by the tribes and clergy around him in specific tones with his extraordinary listening skills. Although the content of these verses is unclear for various reasons, he still collected and sorted them over and over again, and soon restored the scriptures.

Just like most church prayer scriptures, the prayer scriptures of the Mother of Defiled are also full of praises to the Mother of Defiled, but in these worthless flattery texts, some useful content is still hidden.

For example, in the first sentence of the prayer, the origin of the Mother of Defiled is mentioned. This origin provides Leo with very useful information. It says that the Mother of Defiled was originally the most dazzling light in the starry sky, and the gods were also crawling behind her. However, when she saw that the world was shrouded by filth, she developed sympathy for all living things in the world, and voluntarily fell to the world, absorbed the filth in the world, allowing all living things to reproduce normally. However, because the filth was concentrated on her body, she could not fly and return to the starry sky. Only when all the filth in her body disappeared can she return to the starry sky and shine on the gods.

After removing the meaningless praise and boast in this prayer, two key points are mentioned in the rest, one of which is the origin of the Mother of Defiled.

Different from the outside world's research on the Mother of Defiled is that the prayer mentions that the Mother of Defiled comes from the starry sky and falls into the filth, rather than being born from the filth of the abyss from the beginning.

In this regard, Leo believed more about the content of the prayer because he suspected that the Mother of Defiled might also be an Omega-level advanced life form from the universe.

In addition, the strangeness of the abyss power in the families they just discovered, which just proves that the origin of the Mother of Defiled does not originate from the abyss, because no matter whether it is the Abyss Snake or the Abyss Demon Dragon, these abyss products are controlled by Leo and Sylvia, and their chaotic and disorderly power will not change in nature, just like their nature.

However, the power of the abyss in the body of the family and clergy of the Mother of the Defiled is regular and orderly, which obviously does not conform to the nature of the product of the abyss. However, if the content of the prayer is brought in and the Mother of the Defiled is defined as an outsider of the abyss, then all this makes sense, and it is even reasonable to say that the Mother of the Defiled can appear in a place like the Black Forest.

In addition to the origin of the Mother of Defiled is answered from the prayer, the prayer also mentions an important ritual of the Mother of Defiled Church, which is to reduce filth for the Mother of Defiled and allow Him to return to the starry sky.

Therefore, every time a family member, clergy, or ordinary believers recite the prayer, they will walk to the pool filled with black oil, pick up the black oil in the pool and swallow it.

Leo could feel that after drinking black oil, the energy fluctuations in their bodies would have some abnormal reactions, but these reactions were very weak and they quickly returned to calm.

Sylvia didn't know the content of the prayer, nor could she feel that the energy fluctuations on her body had a brief abnormality after drinking the black oil, but she still obtained some information from the conversations between the people around her.

"According to what he said, the front line has captured a group of prisoners and is ready to send them here today to prepare for tomorrow's bright future." Sylvia barely understood the words of these people, then came to Leo and whispered, "There should be a sacrifice here tomorrow."

"So we will leave after watching the sacrifice tomorrow." Leo nodded when he heard this, made a decision, and then told Sylvia what he found.

After hearing this, Sylvia couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a while, he said: "If this is the case, then this Mother of Defiled may be really a great god. It would be reasonable for him to become the largest church at that time during the First Dynasty. After all, even in that chaotic period, it would be difficult for the evil gods to become the largest church. After all, according to common sense, most believers will not devote themselves to a religion and god that will take their lives at any time."

The two of them then stayed on the edge of the square for a while, and suddenly saw a few people walking hurriedly outside, then crossed the pool full of black oil, and entered the altar. After a while, they saw several senior clergymen who looked like maggots crawling out of the altar, climbing through the pool and the square, and moving towards another exit of the castle.

Many people immediately became excited when they saw the maggots appear, and became furious. They got up from the ground and followed the maggots. Neither Leo nor Sylvia had any intention of following, but stayed in place, watching the maggots disappear at the corner of the road with the vast majority of believers and clergy in the square.

After a while, a noise came from the road, and then I saw the previous maggots squirming at the front of the team and slowly moving forward. During the process, the maggots held up the scepter in their hands, shaking in the air, chanting some scriptures in their mouths.

In the middle of the team is a wooden platform that requires at least one hundred people to carry. On the platform is a statue of the god, an statue of the filthy mother.

The statue of the Mother of Defiled looks very strange. His lower body is like a maggot, covered with black oil on the surface, and his upper body is a perfect woman. On His back is a pair of transparent wings that wrap around His body like a burqa, and in the arms of His arms, he is holding a snake, which has just hatched out of the egg, and half of its body is in the egg.

"Is this the Mother of Defiled?" After seeing this statue of God, Sylvia couldn't help but say, "It's completely different from what I imagined. He seems..." As she said that, she suddenly heard it, lowered her head alertly, and did not look at the statue of the Mother of Defiled, and reminded Leo: "Be careful, don't stare at the statue of God, that statue seems to affect the mind of the person who is watching."

Although Leo's reaction was not as big as Sylvia, he also turned his head and did not look at the statue of God. As Sylvia said, when he saw the statue of God, a voice immediately appeared in his consciousness. He could not hear anything the voice was saying, but he felt that the sound was very good and had the urge to listen forever.

"Let's go! Let's leave here for the time being, and come here when the sacrifice begins." Leo put on the hood of the robe again, gestured to Sylvia, and then turned around and left the square.

The two soon found a hotel dedicated to outsiders. There were only two such hotels in the entire castle.

Because the grand ceremony to worship the Mother of Defiled tomorrow is about to be held, many believers of the Mother of Defiled gathered here, making the hotels here overcrowded, and Leo and Sylvia could only share a room with a dozen believers.

It seems that this is not the first time these believers have come here to participate in this kind of sacrificial ritual, so they are not disgusted with the situation where more than a dozen people live in the same room. They are very excited about tomorrow's sacrificial ritual. After they gather together, they can't help but chat with others. Leo and Sylvia both sat quietly in a corner of the room, listened quietly to their conversation, and wrote down the content of their conversation, and obtained a lot of useful information from these contents.

For example, the area where they are located is called the Folk Pond, which consists of nineteen territories in total. Lyon Corner is one of them, neither the largest nor the smallest. However, because of the specialty of several wines, this place has become one of the richest territories in the Folk Pond. It is precisely because of this that ten full moons that Lyon Corner will hold a large sacrificial ceremony to demonstrate Lyon Corner’s respect and belief in the Mother of Folk.

Most of the sacrifices used to sacrifice were captured after war in other regions. According to the content of the conversation, the filth pool seemed to be in contact with the other two regions, and had a particularly bad relationship with the other two regions, and wars often occurred.

In addition to the battle axe, there are many believers who voluntarily sacrificed their sacrifices.

Almost all these believers are old enough to die, but their bodies have not yet mutated. In the faith of the Mother of Defiled Here, only if the body changes, can they be considered the true family of the Mother of Defiled and return to the embrace of the Mother of Defiled after death. Those believers who have not become members will be swallowed up by the Black Forest after death and disappear forever.

Therefore, some believers came up with a solution, which was to voluntarily become sacrifices and merge with the Mother of Defiled. Although they were absorbed and completely disappeared from the world, compared to being swallowed by the Black Forest, for believers, giving the Mother of Defiled is obviously more in line with their wishes.

Also, although all the territories in the Pond believe in the Mother of Defiled, they do not have a unified church. Basically, each territory is an independent Mother of Defiled Church. Each small church has its own understanding of the doctrine of the Mother of Defiled. When these Mother of Defiled gathered together, the first thing they had to do was to have a doctrine debate.

Unfortunately, when Leo and Sylvia arrived, the doctrine debate in their room had ended. Otherwise, from these believers' debates about the Defiled Mother, Leo could collect more information about the Defiled Mother.

Finally, Leo and Sylvia got some things about Lansey during the conversation between these people.

When these believers mentioned Lansei, their emotions seemed very strange. When they mentioned Lansei's belief in the Mother of Defiled, they even described Lansei's belief in the Mother of Defiled, but at the same time they also showed obvious awe of Lansei, and they all called the wise people.

These believers were also curious about Leo and Sylvia, because they had never seen the mutations in them before, and their clothes were different, but they did not regard them as Lancie as the old hunters, because some of them had been to Lancie and knew what Lancie's clothes looked like.
