I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 251 The Golden Crown

Julian's heart moved, and he felt that he had grasped something vaguely.He listened more carefully, and quickly understood what these people were talking about.

They have mastered something that can release a kind of holy energy. Bathing in this energy can greatly delay the aging of human beings, and even achieve immortality. The life span of those chosen by God is increased, but It is the effect of these energies after they have dissipated, which is incomparable to truly bathing in this holy light.

The elders of the three medicine halls rely on this energy to continue their lives.On the surface, every time the elder Ge's successors are members of their family, in fact they are all disguised.

This kind of energy is huge and out of their control, and it will only be released at certain times. Long ago, the three elders discovered that this thing that can emit holy energy seems to be interacting with another thing that emits dark energy. Confrontation, when the two sides are evenly matched to form a balance, there is no extra holy light to radiate, only the dark energy is greatly increased. In order to fight against the dark energy, the holy light energy will form a wave of explosion, so that the three elders take the opportunity to bathe in holy light. Light.

Up to now, no one knows what those two light groups that can fight against each other are. The three old elders were just ordinary adventurers. They entered here before by chance, and they could barely see one white and one black. The two huge light clusters fought against each other, but they didn't know what was inside the light clusters.

One day later, after discovering the two balls of light, a divine envoy who descended taught them how to use sacrifices to stimulate the black light balls. Unfortunately, the conditions for the candidates for the sacrifices were too strict, and only those divine envoys could find them.

Later, this kind of sacrifice became the practice here. In order to continue to live for a long time, the three elders completely regarded the envoy as their own life-saving straw, and every time the envoy appeared, they had to eat and drink To entertain, and to collect a lot of strange things for him according to the requirements of the envoy.

Every five to ten years, the envoys will come, they will bring the sacrifices and complete the ceremony.

Although these three elders are greedy for life and afraid of death, they are not fools. After so many years, they have discovered that this so-called envoy is actually consuming the energy of the white light ball. A few times ago, they had already discovered , the white light cluster gradually began to dim. Once the energy of the white light cluster is exhausted, it is completely conceivable what will happen to them.

They did not dare to disobey the orders of the envoys. The people in the entire royal city combined were no match for the envoys, not to mention that without the sacrifices brought by the envoys, they would also not be able to get the holy light to continue their lives, so their mood was very complicated. .

But in general, they still prefer the divine envoy to come. After all, although the ball of light is dim, it looks like it can last for a while, but if the divine envoy does not come, they may not live for 20 years.

Several elders discussed for a long time but failed to come up with any solution. In the end, they could only blame each other and left the conference room.

Julian put down the bugging device, just as some voices came from outside, guessing that Lacis might have been discovered, he left quietly. ,

After leaving there, Julian quickly found Owen through a secret code. Owen didn't waste any time before. After talking about the layout of the Medicine Hall, he quickly found the place where the ceremony was about to be held.

Hidden underground, it is a quite open hall. The floor is covered with glorious white floor tiles, with wavy patterns outlined on it. After getting along with Julian for a long time, Owen has a little understanding of the runes, and it is very easy to see them. It was soon discovered that a magic circle seemed to be arranged on the hall.

He didn't know what effect the magic circle had, and planned to bring Julian over to have a look later, but a locked door next to it attracted his attention.

He faintly felt that behind that door, there seemed to be a very terrifying energy hidden, not holy light and darkness, but a more complex and palpitating energy.

He had a feeling that if the energy behind that door exploded, he might die if he wasn't prepared.

He was shocked, there was not even a single person who had awakened blood energy in the entire Wangcheng, let alone magic, how could there be such terrifying energy?

He kept this point in his heart, and reminded himself not to open that door as if nothing had happened, lest he accidentally fall here.

He waited here quietly, and after a while, he found a group of patrolling people coming from the other side of the passage.

The apprentice pharmacist who was preparing the ceremony looked at them in surprise, as if surprised that they would show up.

The patrol personnel stepped forward and said a few words to those apprentices. Owen heard what they talked about about Lord Lacis, and a certain chosen one was involved, so he knew in his heart that Julian should have done it.

The apprentices were all surprised when they heard what the patrol members said. Obviously, such a thing had never happened before. They even felt very strange that it was such a lucky thing to be the chosen one, why did they run away?

The patrol team checked the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no doubts, they went to other places. After waiting for a while, Owen waited for Julian who followed the second mark.

The two exchanged their gains, and then discussed the content of the conversation of the three elders.

There is no doubt that the one that can release the energy of the Holy Light must be the stolen golden crown of the Church of the Holy Light. As an artifact bestowed by the Goddess of the Holy Light, the one who is qualified to confront him and has not been completely suppressed can only be the darkness The Dark Scepter of the Church.

The people of the dark church obviously hope to use sacrifices to stimulate the energy of the dark scepter, and at the same time consume the energy of the golden crown. When the energy of the golden crown is exhausted, it is the moment for the people of the dark church to harvest.

The golden crown is a powerful artifact, and it was bestowed by the goddess herself. If you can't even protect such an artifact, what is the use of your church?

It can be said that if the dark church's plan is successful, even if it does not harm the belief of the goddess, including the Pope, the top leaders of this church will definitely take the blame and abdicate.The emergence of a power vacuum will cause turmoil at the lower levels. At that time, it is unknown how much faith will be lost.

Faith has no effect on ordinary people, but it is an indispensable resource for gods. To a certain extent, faith is the source of their strength.

Under the ebb and flow, the Goddess of Holy Light may suffer a big loss at the hands of the Goddess of Darkness.

Owen sighed silently, the plan of the Dark Church is really too poisonous, it is simply an out-of-the-box plan, and it is also their luck that they happened to meet the golden crown that was confronting the Dark Scepter. It's hard, but... From another perspective, if Owen and the others can successfully regain the golden crown, it means that the centuries-old plan of the Dark Church has completely failed, and it will also be a huge blow to them.

"So... the golden crown must be taken back." Julian deduced this result smoothly by combining the experiences of the two.

Owen frowned slightly. The goal was achieved, but how to complete it was the key point.

The dark scepter and the golden crown are both artifact-level weapons. With their current strength, they can only die if they charge up.

Julian glanced at Owen: "How can you collect the golden crown?"

Owen pondered for a while: "I can't guarantee it. According to records, when the golden crown was given that year, the artifact spirit had already begun to conceive. After so many years, perhaps the artifact spirit has already been born." He pursed his lips, "Continue If we continue to confront, we will only lose to the Dark Scepter, and the Golden Crown is more likely to lose, if we show the energy of the Holy Light at the right time, it should make a wise choice."

The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, and he said that you don't need to be so tactful, isn't it just to let the golden crown take care of you, it's not shameful, really...

Owen coughed twice, turned his face silently, don't say that, the golden crown is shameless! →. →

There is no better way. Delaying it will only make the Dark Church more powerful. Although this plan seems unreliable, it can only be done temporarily if there is no other choice.

So the two discussed briefly. Now that they have figured out what happened here, they can just go in with their strength and it's over. No one can beat them anyway, as long as they don't directly rush into the two artifacts In the battle between them, their safety is still guaranteed.

Owen specifically reminded Julian to stay away from that door. Although he didn't know what was hidden inside, it was better not to approach it as much as possible for his own safety.

Julian has never been the kind of character who wants money or life, so he quickly promised that he would never go close to that door to take the initiative to die. The two easily knocked out the apprentices who were preparing for the ceremony, and Owen even handed over the door leading to the corridor. It collapsed, and without special tools, it would take at least several days to open.

The two stayed away from the dangerous door, and quickly searched for traces of the two artifacts around. According to the three elders, the chosen ones will come here to absorb the energy that escapes, so the golden crown will definitely not be far away. It's too far from here.

The two searched around, and found no other hidden doors except the dangerous door. Julian also noticed the pattern on the ground, and after confirming that there was no other way out, he immediately began to study the magic circle.

Each magic circle is composed of rune arrays, and each rune array is full of a large number of runes. For a completely unfamiliar magic circle, Julian can only disassemble the entire magic circle one by one. Solve it, and then infer the function of this magic circle based on the combination of these runes.

At such moments, Julian would like to thank the great father of the system. The basic knowledge of runes was forcibly instilled into his brain by the father of the system, so it is very convenient to call, otherwise just learning these runes would be difficult. It takes a lot of time.

The reason why the man named Laureen was sure that the young Julian could not be proficient in the magic circle was not because it took too long to learn runes!So to some extent, Laurian was actually tricked by the system father...

Because he knew too many basic runes, and the subsequent combinations of various rune arrays were also deeply studied, Julian found out the secret of the magic array without spending too much time.

Although this magic circle is very complicated, its function is quite simple. The only function is to extract energy from a certain place, and then release it slowly.

After reaching such a conclusion, Julian immediately understood that the place where the energy was extracted must be the place where the two artifacts confronted each other. ,
