Fourth Level Ceremony

Inside the church, candlelight shines, making the surrounding area bright.

Yamu stood in the hall, looking at the scene in front of him with confusion on his face.

There are a total of two corpses placed in the church at this moment.

One of them was a woman Yamu was familiar with, who had been beheaded by him with a knife, very neatly.

But the other person made him feel very strange.

That was a young man.

The young man was wearing an ordinary robe. Judging from the attire, he must have come from outside, perhaps a businessman who came here to do business.

He also died, and his death was very cruel, and his eyes were gouged out.

Not only that, a large part of his body was also missing, and he was suspected of being tortured and killed.

Two corpses were placed in front of them, and the strong smell of blood spread out, making many people present frown and feel very uncomfortable.

The two bodies were just discovered and were brought to the church by the town's sheriff.

As the only church in the town, it is not only a spiritual place for the residents of the town, but it can also serve many other purposes.

For example, the examination of corpses and the trial of sinners will all take place in the church.

The old priest was now standing in front of the two corpses, his expression becoming more solemn.

"How about it?"

The town's sheriff looked nervous and looked at the old priest's movements and couldn't help but ask.

"It's very troublesome."

The old priest sighed and pointed to the woman's body: "It's easy to tell that this body was hacked to death with a knife. The murderer was very powerful and skillful in his techniques. He cut off her body with one knife."

head."

"But this corpse is much more troublesome."

He walked to the other side, thought for a moment, and then used a knife to tear the clothes of the corpse.

After removing the excess clothing, there was a clear mark on the chest of the deceased, which converged to form a cross mark.

"This is."

When this mark appeared, many people present breathed nervously, as if they had thought of something.

"This is the mark of the Ten Stars Society."

The old priest's face also looked a little ugly: "This is the trial ceremony of the Ten Stars Association."

"These lunatics!"

The Sheriff cursed in a low voice, with a look of fear on his brows.

The Ten Stars Society is another notorious group.

What he believes in seems to be a very mysterious existence.

This organization has been active for hundreds of years, and has gradually become a dark organization active in the contemporary era, causing chaos and blood sacrifices in many places.

The ten-star mark is the symbol of their sacrifices, which means their judgment and sacrifice.

Wherever they exist, there is often such a mark.

In normal times, they are active elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, I saw him in a small town this time.

What this means is clear to everyone present.

The old priest, the sheriff and others were silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing for a while.

After a while, the old priest spoke and comforted: "Maybe it was just an accident."

"Besides, even if this is really their next target, there is no need to be afraid."

"Under the light of my Lord, all evil will be eliminated, and there will be no second possibility."

With the radiance of divine power flashing, the old priest's entire figure was shrouded in light, looking extraordinarily sacred, making his words more convincing.

"certainly."

The Sheriff forced a smile, and at this time he could only echo: "The God of the Wilderness is above, and all evil will be driven away."

Yamu stood aside quietly, watching the scene without saying a word.

After a while, the conversation ended and people around him dispersed.

Amu was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the old priest.

"Amu."

The old priest's voice sounded a little tired: "Do you remember what I told you before?"

"You mean heading to the Kingdom of Corinthia?"

Amu remembered this incident.

"right."

The old priest sighed: "You have just become a priest. Originally, I wanted to teach you well here and then let you go to Corinthia after a while."

"But looking at it now, there is not that much time left."

"This place has been targeted by the Ten-Star Society, and there may be hidden dangers. It is too dangerous for you to continue to stay here."

"In that case, you might as well leave."

His face was a little tired, and he was confused about the unknown: "This town is still too small after all. It would be a good thing for you to leave as soon as possible."

"What about you?"

"I?"

The old priest James had a wry smile on his face: "I still want to stick to this church."

"No matter what, this church cannot be left unattended."

"The believers of our Lord are under threat. As the priest of my Lord, I cannot abandon them and leave under any circumstances."

"Besides, I'm very old."

He suddenly smiled, with some nostalgia in his eyes: "At my age, I don't have many years to live. This is different from you, Thorin. You young people still have a future in you, unlike me, who are old bones."

As he spoke, Amu felt a strong belief from the old priest.

That is a firm belief and strong belief in the God of the Wilderness.

No matter what, in terms of belief in the God of the Wilderness, the old priest in front of me is probably far superior to the others.

The inability to have more powerful power is just because of talent limitations, but it does not mean that there is a problem with its own beliefs.

In fact, most of those who can become a priest, except for those like Amu who were promoted through cheating, will not have any problems with their faith.

"You go back and prepare, and then you can find a chance to leave."

The old priest said: "I will find an opportunity and try my best to let you leave here safely."

"yes."

Yamu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The conversation between the two ended here.

After a while, Yamu returned to his residence.

After casually dealing with the friends who passed by this body, Yamu sat alone on the bed.

He looked in front of him.

A familiar scene emerged and lay quietly in front of me.

Yamu looked at the familiar panel of characters in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Not even close."

His Wilderness Ritual is only five points short of proficiency before it can be upgraded to another level.
