Chapter 277 Mission Completed, Lava Lord’s Advent Ceremony

Is that... the mother of gargoyles?

The Shenqi Holy Church located in Xinxing District 1, from the outside, seems to be as high as more than ten stories.

Entering the hall inside the church, Li Feng discovered that there were no floors separated inside such a tall building.

This gives the temple hall four very tall walls. If a person stands on the ground, he will definitely feel a sense of oppression due to 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 Enlightenment Church is as high as more than 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 painted, and the whole body is stone gray.

The woman shown in the carving has extremely long hair and a delicate face with thin eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.

She was wearing a beautifully embroidered waiter's robe with wings on her back. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, holding a round-bottomed wide-mouth cup with the rim tilted forward.

'That is, the Mother of Gargoyles... and the Cinnabar Cup. ’

A few months ago, because Hazan and his three thousand troll warriors captured the mother of gargoyles in the Theater of Sorrow alive, Li Feng had seen this creature with his own eyes.

Recalling the mother gargoyle he had seen, it was the same image as in the theater performance.

She has hair as black as carbon, skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and behind her is a pair of bat-like wings.

Hazan once said that the mother of gargoyles was originally a stone statue of unknown origin.

A long time ago, no one knew why, the stone statues carved on buildings or in rocks in mountains and forests came to life, and they became the mothers of gargoyles.

Because it was transformed from a stone statue, the mother of all gargoyles has the same face.

Looking at the female statue in front of him, even though she was only the color of stone, Li Feng could still recognize from her face that this was the mother of gargoyles.

Not to mention, the pair of half-open, bat-like wings on her back.

There are so many elements that match up that there is nothing to be suspicious about.

No longer caring about the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, Li Feng focused entirely on the round-bottomed wide-mouth cup in the statue's hand.

Like the Mother Gargoyle, which was carved from stone, the cup was also carved from huge stone.

Looking at the simple style of the cup, the shape of the round bottom and wide mouth, and the crazy patterns that come out with manic lines.

Li Feng understood that these elements were on the same level as him in the Theater of Sadness. The cinnabar cup props obtained are exactly the same.

Moving his mind to the stone cinnabar cup, Li Feng once again saw the manic style and stiff 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 belly looked as if it had been bitten by a wild beast.

Therefore, the ending on the screen is that the woman's arms hang 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-shaped eyes, bat wings on her back, who was obviously the mother of gargoyles.

As for the baby girl who lost her mother when she was born, she did not cry. In the wild-lined picture, she was smiling ferociously with cunning eyes.

In her hand, she was holding a cup with a simple style, a round bottom and a wide mouth. It was obviously a cinnabar cup.

Li Feng had seen this scene on the cinnabar cup prop he got.

But before, because the cinnabar cup prop was too small and the picture on the cup was rough, Li Feng ignored many details at the time.

For example, the midwife is actually the mother of the gargoyles, and the baby girl holds the cinnabar cup that was born with her.

In fact, as early as when the Theater of Sorrow was still around, Li Feng always thought that this baby girl would be the mother of gargoyles.

But later he heard Hazan say that the mother of gargoyles came from stone statues, so the baby girl in this painting obviously could not be the mother of gargoyles.

And through the Lost Book of Xia's ancestor, Li Feng now feels that the baby girl being served by the mother of gargoyles should be a lava lord.

As for the Cinnabar Cup, it is probably a key item related to the lava lord.

'It's really... quite good...'

After roughly clarifying the relationship, Li Feng said silently in his heart.

In fact, Li Feng couldn't explain his current mood. Because he continued to integrate the godhead, he really needed to find more lava lords.

And what makes him feel confident is that he now has an effective way to deal with the lava lord.

But what is really depressing is that as soon as there are clues about the lava lord who may appear this time, he is involved in a lot of other worlds and has launched such a big battle. He doesn't seem to be worried at all.

After his mind left the stone statue, Li Feng planned to look for clues inside the entire temple.

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 sneak to Nova.

But if they really can't come to Xinxing, they can't influence Xinxing.

So why would Nova players build a temple for them? Nor would they try to use their abilities to save Nova two months before the end, when time is most precious.

Therefore, based on the actual situation, Li Feng finally believed that the Lava Lord should be able to descend on Nova in some way.

The ceremony for his arrival should be very complicated, and it is certainly not as simple as the player using the World Ladder.

But the Nova players must have mastered this ritual, so they built the temple and stole the cinnabar cup.

Therefore, there will probably be clues about how the Lava Lord came to be hidden in this temple.

And Li Feng also had a hunch that his system mission of "investigating the subsequent truth of the matter" also required him to investigate the method of the lava lord's arrival in Nova.

So, Li Feng controlled his mind and continued to look around. In the temple hall, in addition to the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, there were also some large stone platforms.

Many gargoyles with ferocious faces are carved on the bottom of these stone platforms.

These gargoyles either kowtow or pay compliments. They are all the children of the gargoyle mother, so along with their mother, they must also serve the lava lord.

However, these stone platform buildings are too big. Li Feng's telepathy is at a point on the ground, and he cannot see the whole of the stone platforms and what is on them.

Therefore, Li Feng moved his mind power up to the top of the temple, and Li Feng prepared to take advantage of the power of the gods to get a bird's eye view of the temple from the top.

As his mind moved up, Li Feng quickly saw clearly that there were four stone platforms in total. They were next to the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, and together with the statue, they formed a five-pointed star pattern.

As for the top of the stone platforms, to Li Feng's expectation, there were only a few workers there, who 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 five-pointed star whose overall position had been determined.

‘Pentagram… five? ’

Suddenly, Li Feng remembered the news he had just seen in the dome. At that time, the female anchor said that there was a church in each district from District 1 to District 5.

‘Could it be that...they want five lava lords to come together. ’

Five is quite a lot.

Li Feng, who was actually in a hidden place, was shocked for a moment when he realized this.

There are a total of eleven lava lords in the Endless Sea. In addition to the cocoon that was newly sealed by him, there are ten more.

So from a purely quantitative point of view, it still meets the conditions.

And considering the purpose of the Nova players, to correct the sun and save a world from destruction, it seems that it may not be feasible to rely solely on the ability of a lava lord.

But.

Li Feng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was definitely a good thing to try to save his world, but if he had 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 certainly didn't believe that the five lava lords were here simply to do charity, and they would definitely do something to Xinxing's request.

But at the moment, Li Feng didn't care about this for the time being. He had a mission and needed to continue looking 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 probably because the construction of the temple had not been completed yet, everything was quite chaotic, 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 church used machines to transport a huge flat stone slab from outside the church, which looked like it was used to lay on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Feng immediately concentrated his thoughts.

At present, 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.

Li Feng, who was looking down from directly above, discovered that the position of the stone slab was in the center of the five-pointed star.

But what surprised Li Feng was that this stone slab placed in a special position had words on it, and they were also the words of the Endless Sea.

After the stone slabs were laid, workers wiped them and worked on the details.

After everything was respectful and careful, the workers controlled the machines and left one after another.

At the same time, Li Feng let his mind sink and focused on the words on the stone tablet.

"Don't meditate, don't be quiet, give your sweet blood and clear soul to the Holy Grail. In your blood sacrifice, I will allow you to participate in my grand feast."

After reading this very ominous text written in the language of the Endless Sea, Li Feng frowned deeply.

He focused on the words "mellow blood and clear soul". Inevitably, Li Feng thought of those maids wearing bright red maternity skirts.

Therefore, the handmaids and the fetuses in their bellies were actually sacrifices.

'I see. ’

Although he thought it was strange at first, after actually discovering the truth, Li Feng still felt that the behavior of the Xinxing authorities was outrageous.

His eyes continued to move back, Li Feng stared at the words "blood sacrifice".

Because of these two words, many things from the past 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 incident, his ultimate goal is to let someone from the Theater of Sorrow descend into the player world.

According to Li Feng's understanding of the Theater of Sorrow, 0776 should have wanted the Mother of Gargoyles to come.

The objects coming are different, so the corresponding preparations are also different, which is understandable.

But there is one thing. "Blood Sacrifice" should be the way for the filthy creatures of the Endless Sea to descend to other worlds.

As for the Cinnabar Cup, this thing was born together with the Lava Lord and is closely related to her. It should be an important medium for summoning her to come during blood sacrifices.

Combining what he saw and heard, Li Feng finally connected everything.

At the same time, a system prompt flashed before his eyes:

[Your mission progress increases by 50%]

[Current mission progress 100%]

[You completed the task: Investigate the lost items in the Glory Vault (subsequent)]

[You got the mission reward: ‘your’ memory]

Following the system prompt, a small square box representing memory was placed in Li Feng's backpack.

Obviously, by opening the box, Li Feng will get the memory of Li Feng in the Endless Sea.

At this time, the sun in Nova 1 area has completely set.

But inside and outside the temple under construction, dozens of huge lights illuminate the place as if it were daytime, making it possible for the busy workers to truly enjoy the day and night.

He has obtained another "Li Feng" memory box, but Li Feng does not intend to open it here. Everything should be returned to the Endless Sea.

But when Li Feng was about to leave, he noticed two slow footsteps in the church hall that were clearly different from busy workers.

Focusing his attention, Li Feng immediately "saw" that it was two middle-aged men walking to the center of the five-pointed star and standing in front of the stone slab with words engraved on it.

"Brother Zhuyuan, Li has already obtained the Cinnabar Cup. After all, it's still gold. Success is imminent."

One of the middle-aged men said happily.

Hearing that their conversation involved the Cinnabar Cup, Li Feng suspended his thoughts of leaving and focused on these two people.

In terms of clothing, these two uniform black clothing are obviously different from the gray work clothes of the workers.

Moreover, there was no dust on their clothes, no sweat on their faces, and their hands were clean. It was obvious that they were not workers.

Li Feng judged that they should be managers of the Xinxing Authority.

The conversation continues.

"Li has already told me, but we have five lava lords and the key medium has not been found, and..."

The middle-aged man named Zhuyuan frowned:

"Our secondary players learned one thing from the trading field. This disaster in Xinxing is man-made."

"Wha...what?! Who has this ability?"

Hearing the news, another middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and immediately asked in shock after reacting.

Not only him, Li Feng, who was listening to the conversation in secret, was also stunned for a moment.

First of all, I guessed correctly, they really wanted five lava lords to come.

Secondly.

‘The disaster in Xinxing is actually man-made? ’

Recalling the extremely hot sun, Li Feng realized that if the disaster was truly 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 colleague and replied:

"The famous Harvest Alliance controller Tanlang."

"Greedy...Wolf, it's him? How could..."

Hearing the answer, the middle-aged man who was shocked just now seemed to have been awakened.

The expression on his face changed, from surprise to extreme anxiety in an instant, just like the pressure that the greedy wolf can bring to him is far greater than the sun that is about to destroy the world.

From Li Feng's point of view, he obviously had no doubt that the man named Tanlang had the ability to control the sun and destroy the world.

"But why? What grudge does our new star have against Mr. Greedy Wolf? Why does he do this to us?"

The middle-aged man reacted for a while and asked anxiously.

When asked, Zhuyuan just shook his head silently. He obviously didn't know, but in the face of the panic of his colleagues, he said:

"Li has already gone to the top of Ouranos Mountain to pay a visit to Mr. Greedy Wolf."
