Chapter 1778 Old God
Lin Jiu, under the guidance of the wizard, stepped onto the upper echelons of the wizard association. The wizard who led the way was very uneasy, not because of Lin Jiu, but because of the strange head in Lin Jiu's hand, which made him restless and felt that his spirit was unusually heavy, as if there was a voice whispering in his ear.
Under normal circumstances, the slain Sothoth would not cause any impact. But this was only for ordinary strong men. The wizards in the Wizard Association had grown up using potions to a greater or lesser extent, so when facing the ancient gods, they would naturally show abnormalities.
The old wizard in the wheelchair who sent them to Heru City described the three immortal wizards very interestingly, as once great poor people.
Dark clouds covered the sky above Heru City, and behind the fiery red clouds was the sunshine that everyone was looking forward to. Sunlight is essential for the growth of crops, but it is out of reach for the civilians of Heru City.
Even though it was morning, the streets were still sparsely populated because everyone was busy making a living. Here, laziness meant hunger, and the burning sensation of stomach acid eroding the stomach was enough to make people collapse and do impulsive things.
The towering building of the Wizards' headquarters seemed to be piercing the dark clouds, and there seemed to be something hovering on its top. However, due to the obstruction of the mist, we could not clearly see the complete shape of the object, but could only vaguely sense its existence.
Entering the first floor of the wizard's meeting, Lin Jiu walked towards the inner staircase under the guidance of the wizard. The staircase was winding upward in a zigzag shape. Due to long-term lack of maintenance and humid environment, the steps were covered with a layer of black stains, and felt extremely hard when stepped on.
After they were led to the stairs, the wizard who led the way signaled Lin Jiu and the others to just go up by themselves. Lin Jiu then went up the stairs and stopped at the tenth floor. A layer of objects that looked like tree roots blocked the stairs. Lin Jiu pressed on the root layer with one hand, and the root layer made a crisp sound and finally shrank into the walls on both sides.
Continuing upwards, Lin Jiu did not see any other wizards until he reached the 30th floor, where the stairs ended and a long corridor appeared in front.
The corridor was about five meters wide, with candlesticks set up every few meters on the walls on both sides. Those gray candles, as thick as arms, were burning quietly, and the wax gradually accumulated on the wall, forming layers of tall wax marks.
Walking into the depths of the corridor, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard. After walking more than 20 meters, Lin Jiu finally arrived in front of the stone door, which was the door he had seen in the previous video footage.
The surface of the stone gate is uneven and looks extremely old. The yellow-brown stone is mottled with red marks, some of which look like bloody handprints and some like blurred faces.
Lin Jiu estimated that he didn't need to "unlock" the door himself, he could just push the door open and walk in. He stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door open, and the stone door slowly opened, and he felt a heavy feeling on his hand.
[Hint: You have entered the Old God Church. ]
"Cough cough..." The dust scattered, and Lin Jiu waved his hand in front of him to disperse the choking dust.
In front of us is a church covering an area of 300 square meters, which looks quite old. In the center of the church there is a circular stone staircase, which is sunken about ten meters deep.
At the bottom of the stairs stands a stone sculpture. This stone sculpture has no specific features, and even its appearance is unclear. It can only be inferred from the outline of the body that it represents the image of a young woman.
Looking towards the edge of the church, you can see three stone chairs placed diagonally on the edge.
These stone chairs are quite spacious, more than two meters wide, and they are cleverly embedded in the walls.
Two of the stone chairs were empty, with bloodstains clearly visible on them, while a figure was sitting on the last stone chair.
"It's incredible!" A hoarse voice came, and at the same time, more than one gaze fell on Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu looked sideways and saw a figure hanging upside down in the open space inside the church. Chains pierced through his ankles, hanging him two meters above the ground. Ragged linen was tightly wrapped around his feet, legs, and torso, all the way to his neck. Through the gaps in the linen, the shocking burns were clearly visible.
Although the church was dilapidated, it did not seem dark. Lin Jiu took two steps forward and saw the figure clearly. It was an old man whose age could not be determined. He was extremely old, with wrinkles all over his face, and looked like a skeleton covered with skin and bones.
"Is he COSting bacon?" Lin Jiu felt funny for some reason when he saw the hanged old man in this state. The guy now looked like an enlarged version of a string of smoked bacon grown in the countryside.
Lin Jiu knew why this guy had become like this. He was once an old god, but after burning himself, he was no longer an old god, and became an old man hung upside down. And burning oneself is to refine the substance of holy silver.
"You got yourselves into this state just to kill this guy." Lin Jiu casually threw Sothoth's head into the open space in the middle of the church, and it rolled to the side of the hanged old man Gus.
"Hahahaha... Only villains can fight villains! Shuguang, your kindness can't kill God. Only villains like this can..." Lin Jiu's temperament disguise can only deceive ordinary people in Bone Port. Old guys like Gus who have lived for a long time will not be fooled by Lin Jiu's clean temperament. It's impossible to see through ability, but it's not difficult to see a little bit of character.
Snapped!
"This is slandering me! I am clearly the savior." Lin Jiu slapped Gus in the face. What a villain! He worked so hard to kill Sothoth, who was clearly a savior-like figure, yet he slandered him. Did Bubuwang eat his conscience?
Bubuwang: Huh?
"Nya... I'm sorry!" The dream words came from the deepest part of the Old God's Church. There was a stone chair more than two meters wide and of normal height, embedded in the wall. It was obviously carved out of local materials. On the stone chair, a skinny figure was leaning on it. Her golden hair was dry and yellow and split, and she was covered with a brown blanket.
Iron chains as thick as fingers extended from the stone chair and pierced into various parts of Shuguang's body. It looked bloody and brutal. Obviously, Shuguang had been treated inhumanely and his body was already in tatters.
"Hey, the guy who killed Nia is dead, don't you want to take a look?" Gus mentioned Nia in his words, which made Dawn wake up. His confused eyes swept across the church and finally fell on the head on the floor. Dawn's expression was crying and laughing, and his expression was full of guilt and helplessness.
"Hahahaha..." Gus's face was broken with laughter when he saw Shuguang like this. This old guy's painting style was completely different from Shuguang.
In other words, he is much stronger than Dawn. Among the three immortal wizards, Dawn is good at manufacturing, Gus is good at fighting, and Laurent is more like a scholar, so Laurent knows the most and is the most miserable.
There are three stone chairs, two of which are empty. One of them belongs to Gus, who is hanging upside down, and the other one belongs to Laurent, and below the side of Laurent's stone chair is Laurent.
At this time, Laurent had turned into a lump, unable to even maintain his human appearance, and there were faint sparks flashing on his body.
Apparently, the three immortal wizards were once old gods, and they had all laid in a furnace, letting the flames burn their bodies in order to forge holy silver.
