Chapter 277 Mission completed, Lava Lord's Advent Ceremony
Is that...Mother of Gargoyles?
Located in the Divine Revelation Church in District 1 of Nova, from the outside, its height is about as high as ten floors.
Entering the hall inside the church, Li Feng found that such a tall building did not have separate floors inside.
This gave the hall of the sanctuary four very tall walls. If a person stood on the ground, he would definitely feel a sense of oppression because of the extremely high walls and the extremely far roof.
However, these were not the things that Li Feng noticed. What really surprised him was that there was only a very, very tall statue on the front of the hall facing the door.
If the entire Divine Revelation Church is as high as ten floors, then this statue is as high as eight or nine floors.
This is a female statue carved from stone. The statue is not colored, and the whole body is stone gray.
The sculpted woman has extremely long hair and a delicate face with thin eyebrows and almond eyes.
She is wearing a beautifully embroidered waiter's robe, with wings on the back, and her hands are wrapped around her chest, holding a round-bottomed wide-mouth cup with the mouth slanting down to the front.
'That is, the Mother of Gargoyles...and the Cinnabar Cup. '
A few months ago, because Haizan and his three thousand troll warriors captured the Mother of Gargoyles alive in the Theater of Sorrows, Li Feng had seen this creature with his own eyes.
Recalling the gargoyle mother he had seen, the same as the image in the theater performance.
She has hair as black as carbon, skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and behind her are a pair of bat-like wings.
Haizan once said that the Mother of Gargoyles was originally a stone statue of unknown origin.
A long time ago, no one knew why, those stone statues carved on buildings or in the rocks of mountains and forests came to life, and they became the mother of gargoyles.
Because it was transformed from a stone statue, all the mothers of gargoyles have the same face.
Looking at the female statue in front of him, even though she is only the color of stone, Li Feng can still recognize this is the mother of gargoyles from the face.
And not to mention, those half-open, bat-like wings on her back.
Too many elements match up, and there is nothing to doubt anymore.
No longer caring about the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, Li Feng focused all his attention on the round-bottomed wide-mouth cup in the statue's hand.
Like the gargoyle mother carved out of stone, the cup was also carved out of a huge stone.
Looking at the simple style of the cup, the shape of the round bottom and wide mouth, and the crazy patterns that will come out with manic lines.
Li Feng understood that these elements were all on the same floor as him in the Theater of Sorrow. The obtained cinnabar cup props are exactly the same.
Moving his thoughts to the vicinity of the stone-carved cinnabar cup, Li Feng once again saw the manic style and blunt lines on the cinnabar cup.
On the delivery bed, a woman gave birth to a baby girl, but the process of giving birth to the baby girl was obviously not smooth, because the woman's stomach was obviously bitten by a wild beast.
So, the ending on the screen is that the woman's arm is hanging limply on the side of the delivery bed, and she is obviously dead.
The baby girl survived, and she was being held by a midwife with thin eyebrows and almond eyes, with bat wings on her back, who was obviously the mother of gargoyles.
As for the baby girl who lost her mother at birth, she is not crying. In the picture with wild lines, she is smiling with sly eyes open.
In her hand, at the moment, she was holding a cup with a simple style, a round bottom and a wide mouth, which was obviously a cinnabar cup.
This scene, Li Feng had seen it on the props of the cinnabar cup he got.
But because the props of the cinnabar cup were too small and the picture on the cup was rough, Li Feng ignored many details at that time.
For example, the midwife is actually the mother of the gargoyle, and the cinnabar cup that the baby girl was holding was born with her.
Actually, back when the Theater of Sorrows was still there, Li Feng always thought that this baby girl would be the mother of gargoyles.
But later he heard Haizan say that the mother of gargoyles came from a stone statue, so the baby girl in this painting obviously cannot be the mother of gargoyles.
Through the lost book of the ancestors of Shia, Li Feng now feels that the baby girl served by the mother of gargoyles should be a lava lord.
As for the cinnabar cup, it is probably also a key item related to this lava lord.
‘It’s really… pretty good…’
Having roughly clarified the relationship, Li Feng silently said something in his heart.
Actually, Li Feng couldn't explain his current mood clearly, because he really needed to find more lava lords to continue to integrate the godhead.
And what makes him confident is that he now has an effective way to deal with the lava lord.
But what is really frustrating is that the lava lord who may be alive this time, as soon as he has a clue, is involved in a lot of other worlds, and has such a big battle, it seems that he can't worry about it.
Nianli left the stone statue, and Li Feng planned to search for clues inside the entire church.
After all, whether it is the mother of gargoyles or the lava lord, they are all creatures of the endless sea.
According to the antagonistic relationship between the Lava Lord and the Creator God, they are definitely not players and cannot use the world ladder to smuggle to Nova.
But if they really can't come to Nova, they can't affect Nova.
Then why should Nova players build a sanctuary for them, let alone try to use their abilities to save Nova two months before the end, when time is the most precious.
So, combined with the actual situation, Li Feng finally believed that the lava lord should be able to descend on the new star in some way.
The ceremony of his arrival should be very complicated. Anyway, it is definitely not as simple as the player using the world ladder.
But the new star players must have mastered this ritual, so they built the temple and snatched the cinnabar cup.
So in this sanctuary, there will likely be clues about how the lava lord descended.
And Li Feng also had a hunch that his system mission "Investigate the follow-up truth of the incident" was exactly the way he was asked to investigate the lava lord descending on Nova.
So, Li Feng controlled his mental power and continued to look around. In the hall of the temple, apart from the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, there were also some huge stone platforms with a large area.
The bottom of these stone platforms are carved with many gargoyles with hideous faces.
These gargoyles either prostrate or compliment them. They are all descendants of the mother of gargoyles, so following their mother, they must also serve the lava lord.
However, these stone platforms are too big. Li Feng's thoughts are at a point on the ground, so he can't see the whole of those stone platforms and what is on them.
So, moving his mind power up to the top of the temple, Li Feng prepared to use the advantage of the power of the gods to have a bird's-eye view of the temple from the top.
As the power of thought moved up, Li Feng quickly saw clearly that there were four stone platforms in total, and they were beside the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, forming a pentagram pattern together with the statue.
As for the top of those stone platforms, unexpectedly, there were only a few workers there, and they were using tools to carve on the surface of the stone platforms.
Obviously, there must be some patterns on the surface of the stone platform, but the carving has not been completed yet.
But from the top of the hall, Li Feng looked at the pentagram whose overall position had been determined.
‘Pentagram…five? '
Suddenly, Li Feng remembered the news he had read on the dome just now. At that time, the hostess said that from District 1 to District 5, each district had a church.
'Could it be...they want five lava lords to come together. '
Five, that’s a lot.
Li Feng, who was really in the hiding place, realized this, and couldn't help being shocked for a moment.
There are a total of eleven lava lords in the endless sea, and there are ten more besides the newly sealed cocoon.
So in terms of quantity alone, the conditions are still met.
And considering the purpose of the new star player, to correct the sun and save a world from destruction, it seems that it may not be possible to rely on the ability of only one lava lord.
But.
Li Feng has an indescribable feeling in his heart, it must be a good thing to work hard to save his own world, but if you have to rely on the filthy and unknown lava lord...
‘It’s more or less drinking poison to quench thirst. '
Together the five lava lords may have the ability to correct the sun and save the world.
But Li Feng definitely didn't believe it either, the five lava lords came here purely for charity, and they would definitely do something to the new star's request.
But for now, Li Feng will ignore this for the time being. He has a mission and needs to continue to look for clues about how the lava lord came.
In the church, Li Feng carefully looked at every wall, every window, and every stone platform.
But it was probably because the construction of the sanctuary had not been completed, so it was quite chaotic everywhere, and Li Feng couldn't find any clues for a while.
But at this moment, there was a noise from the ground.
Many workers who built the sanctuary used machines to bring in a huge flat stone slab from outside the sanctuary, which seemed to be paved on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Feng immediately concentrated his thoughts.
At the moment, with the help of modern machines, those workers quickly transported the stone slabs to the center of the hall and laid them on the ground.
And Li Feng, who was looking down from directly above, found that the position of the stone slab was right in the center of the pentagram.
What surprised Li Feng was that this stone slab placed in a special position had words on it, and it was the words of the endless sea.
As the stone slabs were laid, workers wiped the stone slabs and dealt with the details.
After showing all respect and care, the workers controlled the machines and left one after another.
At the same time, Li Feng let his mind sink down, and focused on the words on the slate.
"Don't meditate, don't be quiet, give the Holy Grail the sweet blood and clear soul, and in your blood sacrifice, I will allow you to join my grand banquet."
After reading this very ominous text written in the language of the endless sea, Li Feng frowned deeply.
He fixed his eyes on the words "mellow blood and clear soul". Inevitably, Li Feng thought of those maids wearing bright red maternity dresses.
So, the handmaidens and the fetuses in their wombs are actually sacrifices.
'I see. '
Although he felt strange at first, after discovering the truth, Li Feng still felt that the actions of the Xinxing authorities were outrageous.
His eyes continued to move backwards, and Li Feng stared at the word "blood sacrifice".
Because of these two words, many things before came to mind.
A few months ago, during the cycle of returning to the player world, the player world experienced an event called blood sacrifice.
Li Feng didn't know much at the time, but he learned more or less afterwards.
The player 0776 who caused the blood sacrifice event to come, his ultimate goal is to let a certain existence in the Theater of Sorrows come to the player world.
According to Li Feng's understanding of the Theater of Sorrows, 0776 should have wanted the Mother of Gargoyles to come.
The descending objects are different, so the corresponding preparations are also different, which is understandable.
But there is one thing, "blood sacrifice" should be the way to let the filthy creatures of the endless sea come to other worlds.
As for the cinnabar cup, this thing that was born with the lava lord and is closely related to her should be an important medium for summoning her to descend during the blood sacrifice.
Combining what he saw and heard, Li Feng finally connected everything.
At the same time, a system prompt flashed in front of his eyes:
【Your mission progress increased by 50%】
【Current mission progress 100%】
【You have completed the task: Investigate the items lost in the Brilliant Vault (follow-up)】
【You got the quest reward: the memory of 'You'】
Following the system prompt, a small square box representing memory was put into Li Feng's backpack.
Obviously, by opening the box, Li Feng will get Li Feng's memory of that endless sea.
At this time, the sun in Nova 1 has completely set.
However, inside and outside the sanctuary under construction, dozens of huge lighting lamps still illuminate the place as if it were daytime, realizing the real day and night for the busy workers.
Already got another "Li Feng" memory box, but Li Feng didn't intend to open it right here, and we'd better go back to the Endless Sea.
But when Li Feng was about to leave, he noticed two slow footsteps in the hall of the church, which were obviously different from those of busy workers.
Focusing his attention, Li Feng immediately "saw" that it turned out that two middle-aged people walked to the center of the pentagram and stood in front of the stone tablet with words engraved on it.
"Brother Zhuyuan, Li has already got the cinnabar cup. After all, she is still a daughter, and she will succeed in no time."
One of the middle-aged people said happily.
Hearing that their conversation involved the cinnabar cup, Li Feng paused the thought of leaving, and focused on these two people.
From the perspective of clothing, these two uniform black clothing are obviously different from the gray overalls of the workers.
Moreover, there is no dust on the clothes of these two people, no sweat on their faces, and clean hands. It is obvious that they are not workers.
Li Feng judged that they should be managers of the New Star Authority.
Conversation continues.
"Li has already told me, but we have five lava lords, and we haven't found the key medium, and..."
The middle-aged man named Zhu Yuan was frowning:
"Our secondary players learned one thing from the trading field, the disaster of Nova is man-made."
"Wh... what?! Who has this ability?"
Hearing the news, the other middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and immediately asked in surprise after realizing it.
Not only him, Li Feng, who was listening to this conversation in the dark, was also taken aback for a moment.
First of all, I guessed correctly, they really wanted to let the five lava lords descend.
Next.
‘The disaster of the new star, it turned out to be man-made? '
Recalling the extremely hot sun, Li Feng realized that if the disaster was really man-made, then this person would have the ability to control the sun.
While Li Feng was thinking quickly, the middle-aged man named Zhuyuan nodded to his colleagues and replied:
"Tianlang, the famous controller of the Harvest Alliance."
"Greedy... wolf, it was him? How could..."
Hearing the answer, the middle-aged man, who was shocked just now, suddenly realized as if he had been woken up.
The expression on his face changed, from surprise to extreme anxiety in an instant, just like the pressure that a greedy wolf can bring to him is far greater than the sun that is about to perish.
From Li Feng's point of view, this person obviously has no doubt that the man named Tanlang has the ability to control the sun and destroy the world.
"But why? What grudge does our new star have with that Mr. Greedy Wolf, and why does he treat us like this?"
The middle-aged man reacted for a while and asked anxiously.
Zhuyuan who was asked just shook his head in silence. He obviously didn't know, but facing the panic of his colleagues, he said:
"Li has already gone to the top of Mount Uranus to pay a visit to that Mr. Greedy Wolf."
