Chapter Nineteen
The moon was nearly empty, and it was already midnight.
More than a hundred men, women, and children from the Shasilan family gathered in the castle square, neatly forming a square formation. In front of them, there was a long square table. Wei En stood behind the table, his eyes slightly closed, his expression solemn, his mouth
He muttered something while Ruola and Vincent stood behind him. After being trained in the Oak Church, Wei En obtained part of the power contained in the Star Revelation, and his energy was greatly replenished and improved. Although the millennium of abandonment has
It is the most difficult spell among the intermediate spells, but this time it is cast through the Star Revelation, and Wei En is confident that he can complete it.
Xia Silan turned to his assistant and asked: "Is everyone here?"
"Except for the young master who has not returned from the castle, everyone else is here."
Xia Shilan frowned and said, "Where did he go again?"
"Maybe it's downhill." The assistant replied cautiously.
"Going to the tavern again? There are so many people waiting for him now. This guy who doesn't live up to expectations will piss me off sooner or later."
The assistant was silent, shrank his neck and did not answer. Xia Shilan looked at the moonlight and said: "Forget it, we won't wait for him." He walked up to Wei'en and said: "Mr. Wei'en, our people are already here.
OK, you can start."
Wei En opened his eyes and said: "Mr. Shasilan, to be honest, I don't have much confidence. If it doesn't succeed, then I can only say I'm sorry."
Xia Silan smiled slightly, put his left hand on Wei En's shoulder, and pressed it hard: "I am lucky to get it, but not my life." After saying that, he walked back to the crowd of people lined up.
Wei'en's heart perked up when he heard this. The worry he had just felt lessened a lot, and he felt relaxed. He raised his head and glanced at the blue night sky. The wind blew away the clouds, and the crescent moon hung like a hook in the mid-air. It was exactly
The moonlit night he loved.
Wei En took out the Apocalypse of the Stars. There was a silver chalice on the table in front of him. The cup was covered with red silk. He placed his ring in the cup, took two steps back, adjusted his mood, and began to chant.
Thousands of years of abandonment:
Wandering around, wandering souls with nowhere to stay,
Will return to the land of the dead according to the laws of nature,
Loneliness is your eternal abode.
confusion and confusion,
hate and sadness,
All are the basis for the existence of darkness.
The wails of resentful spirits tremble in the depths of the underworld,
Blasphemy against God's dignity will never be forgiven.
The undead wandering between decay and withering,
Please show up as a servant,
Take away the last remaining warmth of tonight.
lonely exile,
painful nightmare,
Become a forever partner.
The light is out of reach, and all that's left is regret.
If you ignore God's teachings, you will never be reincarnated.
Wei En's voice was not loud, but in this quiet night, it seemed to have a strange magic power, swirling in the wide square, as if it had a heavy texture. Vincent felt a sense of ridicule in his heart.
.The dark midnight, the deserted castle, the pale moonlight, and the vicious spells. This scene is simply a replica of the evil black magician casting a spell. Just listening to the words Wei En is saying at this moment, who can believe that he is doing this?
What about saving people instead of harming them?
Wei En's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he continued to read persistently:
All outcomes are gestated in the final judgment.
The box of evil has been opened by ignorance and greed.
God is sighing deeply,
Turn around and go.
What remains will be
Floods and frozen deserts!
Wei En raised his hands flat and completed the last spell. He felt his heartbeat speed up, and the power surging in his body was like a torrent that burst a dam. It was no longer bound by any constraints and rushed towards his palms crazily. At the same time, the Holy Spirit surged towards his palms.
The dinner cup suddenly glowed, as if hearing a mysterious call. Following Wei En's voice, the light quickly grew larger and became dazzling.
Shasilan stood in the front row of the crowd, watching Wei En slowly stretch out his hands toward the Holy Communion Cup, his eyes slightly closed, his expression was so solemn, and even a little holy under the baptism of the moonlight.
Xia Silan remembered that her father once said that on the eve of the royal family's fall, when a mage from the royal family cursed them, the expression on his face was ferocious and crazy. Why was there such a big difference for this young man who cast the same spell?
Finally, Wei En's fingers touched the body of the cup. In an instant, the Holy Communion Cup seemed to be filled with hot molten slurry. A ball of fiery red ignited from Wei En's palms, and was extremely bright. Wei En slowly raised the cup,
Placed on the head, the Holy Communion Cup shines brightly, like the eternal guide star, conveying the power of trust in the light.
Everyone couldn't help but squinted their eyes. This light was so eye-catching in the middle of the night. Except for Wei En, no one could look directly at the Holy Communion Cup. Then, the brilliance overflowed from the cup like running water.
Guo Wei'en's hands flowed across the ground under his feet, forming a ball of light and wrapping him in it. Everyone looked at this amazing change and were speechless. Even the young children did not dare to breathe.
Take a bite and stare closely at this strange and mysterious "uncle".
Ruola looked at Wei En's back silently, and her heart became full of mixed emotions. Once upon a time, the familiar and ordinary back in front of her gradually transformed and became full of self-confidence and appeal, making people around her follow her unconsciously.
He walked towards the unknown front.
Finally, the brilliance slowly faded, and Wei En reappeared in everyone's eyes. At the end, the brilliance suddenly lit up, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. Xia Silan looked at it, and saw that the Holy Communion Cup in Wei En's hand had returned to its normal state.
It looks like, but the surface of the silver-white cup now seems to be faintly flowing with a few strands of golden color.
Wei En sighed, with both excitement and fatigue in his voice. His body swayed and he almost fell. Vincent stepped forward quickly and supported him. Wei En took back the Book of Star Revelation and said: "Xia Shilan
.”
Xia Shilan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Weien, how are you?"
Wei En forced a smile: "I can still do it. Xia Shilan, I have finished casting the spell. Now you can fill the Holy Grail with water and let everyone drink it in turn. Before drinking, you must squeeze a few drops of your own blood into the water."
Xia Shilan said: "Okay." He secretly praised in his heart that his father once mentioned to him the specific process of casting spells, and Wei En said it exactly the same now. This young man is really not simple.
Vincent looked at Wei En's pale face and said, "Go back to your room and rest for a while."
Wei En nodded and straightened up. Ruola on the side said: "Don't be brave, let Vincent help you back to your room."
Wei En chuckled: "I'm fine. As the old saying goes, whether you are tired or not, think about the revolutionary veterans."
After entering the room, Wei En lay down on the bed. Then Vincent, who entered the room, said: "Wei En, why do I feel that it was a little strange when you cast the curse tonight?"
Wei En was startled and said: "Why is it strange?"
"I don't understand why the light from the Star Revelation wants to wrap you up. Logically speaking, as long as the ceremony is completed, the Holy Communion Cup becomes a channel for transmitting the curse."
Wei En smiled: "Your sense is really sensitive. Yes, I did have some other gains."
"Is it convenient to come and listen?" Vincent asked.
"It's nothing inconvenient." Wei En said: "Do you still remember the vision I saw when the Star Revelation sent me power last time at Oak Church?"
"I remember you said you saw a golden door slowly opening, with birds spreading their wings engraved on the door."
"Yes. However, I can see it more clearly this time. Last time I only saw the door slowly opening, and a dazzling golden light shot out from the door."
"What about this time?"
"This time the door was completely open, and I saw a golden throne. Placed on the throne was a beautiful and elegant silver crown with completely hollow patterns. It looked very delicate and was inlaid with dazzling pearls and enamel.
, it should be the crown worn by the queen."
"What happened next?" Vincent asked with interest.
"I approached the crown, and suddenly I found that there was an empty space on the top of the crown, which seemed to be the place where the central gemstone was placed. I was wondering, and a vague voice sounded: When the prophet and the saint appeared, it was Antebili.
The day when Zhiguan wakes up. As soon as I finished speaking, my consciousness returned to reality."
"The Prophet and the Saint, the Crown of Antebili, what does this mean?" Vincent pondered.
"I still want to ask you."
Vincent spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do this time. Wei En thought for a while, took out the ring from his arms, looked at it, shook his head and said: "There is no change in the Star Revelation this time."
"Maybe it has woken up, so it won't change."
Wei En pondered for a while and suddenly said: "Vincent, do you know the goddess's crown?"
"First time I heard of it."
"Is there any difference between a royal relic and a city-building tool like the Star Apocalypse?"
"I have heard of sacred objects. The weapon that holds the city should be a royal sacred object, but it may only be a certain part of the sacred object."
Wei En nodded and stopped talking, thinking in his mind: "What is the connection between the laurel wreath and the ring?"
Vincent stood up and said: "You are in good spirits, but your body is a little weak. Rest for a while, I believe you will recover soon."
"I'm not sleepy," Wei En said, "I'm waiting for Xia Shilan to come and tell me everyone's situation."
Vincent smiled: "You kid, you are getting better and better. I remember when you cast a curse, you slept like a pig at night, and you were still a sick pig."
Wei En laughed loudly: "Let's not talk about each other. Your sleep is no better than mine. That snoring sound is earth-shattering and can wake up the sun the next day."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Xia Shilan's voice came: "Mr. Wei'en, are you asleep?"
"No. Please come in." Wei En sat up from the bed.
Xia Shilan pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Wei'en, your curse has worked. The first group of people had already taken the blood from the Holy Communion Cup, and soon they became weak all over, and some even had vomiting and diarrhea, and they couldn't stop suffering.
"After a pause, he said excitedly: "But I can see that although some young people are very tired, the blue on their faces has begun to fade. I have asked the remaining people to continue taking holy water."
Wei En scratched his head: "Xia Silan, do you know what it was like when your father was cursed?"
Xia Shilan nodded and said, "I know, it's almost the same as now. Wei En, can you tell me what method you used?"
"It's nothing. If the curse wants to take effect, the catalyst must work. Your curse catalyst comes from a holy object in the ancient city of Xihui Mountains. When you leave the holy object for too long and the distance is too long, the curse will take effect."
"I understand this. The royal family does this because they want us to protect their holy city forever and do not allow us to integrate into normal society."
"I happen to have a royal holy object in my hand." Wei En took out the Star Revelation: "I will impose a thousand years of abandonment on you again, and set its catalyst to the Star Revelation. In this case, through the replacement of the old with the new, you will
Your body and blood will gradually be affected by the Apocalypse of the Stars, and the old curse will gradually become ineffective. I estimate that as long as you don’t leave the Apocalypse of the Stars for too long in the future, I believe that sooner or later you will return to the state before the curse."
Xia Silan was stunned when he heard this, with a dazed expression on his face. After a while, he said: "I probably understand. Wei En, no matter what, thank you very much for lending a helping hand and giving us a chance to see the light again."
Wei En waved his hand: "Don't thank me yet. If you can see the sun when the sun rises tomorrow, the new curse will be truly effective."
"Not so fast, doesn't the curse take effect slowly?" Vincent said at the side.
"No. Whether they can see the sun is the key. If my method is correct, they will definitely be able to see the sun again."
Xia Shilan sighed slightly and turned to look out the dark window: "It will be dawn in a few hours. I haven't seen the sunrise in many years."
At this moment, a person hurriedly opened the door. Everyone saw that it was Xia Shilan's assistant, followed by Ruola, who had stayed at the scene just now out of curiosity. Wei En looked at the eager expression on the assistant's face.
, my heart skipped a beat: "Did something unexpected happen?"
Xia Shilan frowned and said, "What happened?"
The assistant quickly glanced at everyone and said: "Sir, the young master is back."
"Come back as soon as you come back, why are you so panicked?"
"He came back from the secret passage. He was injured by an arrow and bled a lot."
Shasilan said goodbye and left. Vincent asked Ruola: "What happened?"
"I'm not sure. I just saw them carrying a young man. He seemed to have been hit by an arrow in the ribs."
Vincent was stunned after hearing this. For some reason, an ominous feeling came to his heart.
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded again. Shasilan opened the door and entered the house with an anxious look on his face: "Wei En, Vincent, something is not good."
Wei En and Vincent looked at each other and said, "What's wrong?"
"My son went to a tavern for a drink tonight. On his way out of the city, he accidentally bumped into a few drunken horse thieves. He followed them out out of curiosity and found the Desert Eagle's station in the valley. There were hundreds of people there."
Vincent was startled: "Desert Eagle? Is it Red Beard?"
Xia Shilan nodded in agreement. Wei En asked: "Who is Red Beard?"
"Red Beard is a bandit who has been wreaking havoc in Rhode Island for many years. He has a group of horse thieves who come and go like the wind, known as the Desert Eagle. A few years ago, the Desert Eagle made such a fuss that Prince Vander sent his fierce general Fontaine to personally suppress it.
After several fierce battles, Redbeard lost his troops and hid in the desert. However, I heard that the strength is still there, so Colonel Fontaine is still stationed in Rhode Island."
"A bandit leader, what is he doing here?" Ruola asked doubtfully.
Xia Shilan said: "My son vaguely overheard their conversation and said they wanted to go into the mountains at dawn. He probably came to us and came back in a hurry to report the news. Unexpectedly, he left in such a hurry that he didn't find the ambush of the red-bearded soldiers sealing the mountain. As a result, he was hit.
With one arrow, if it weren't for the secret passage, he might not be able to come back."
Vincent said: "Xia Silan, Red Beard is vicious and experienced. It is difficult to deal with him. We must prepare quickly."
"The thing is exactly wrong here. My people have just taken blood, and most of them are very weak. Let alone fighting, they don't even have the strength to escape. This guy didn't come earlier or later, but he chose this time.
." Xia Shilan said helplessly with a bitter smile on her face.
Vincent stood up, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only make two preparations."
