Chapter 4 High Priest Tarrence

Goddess of Misery?Who is that?

There is a very troublesome situation in the world of Finn. It has a history of at least millions of years since the first elves built a civilization and the first batch of gods were born.In the Quaternary Epoch, which lasted only over 1000 years, the changes of gods were already a mess.It is difficult to find out the details of those fallen, hidden, or very small gods.

Li Qi only remembered the Lady of Pain, the Goddess of Abuse, and the God of Suffering, but he had never heard of the Goddess of Suffering.

"Anma, the goddess of suffering, is a good god who appeared in the third era. Her teachings are to taste suffering and gain the power to save herself and others in suffering."

"Her god's name once spread throughout Fein until the Fourth Era. But nearly 1000 years ago, His Majesty Ammar unfortunately fell in a battle of gods, and her priesthood was divided among many gods."

The old man's intermittent narration made Li Qi take a breath. What is the origin of this guy, so clear about the changes of the gods?
"My name is Camber-Tarrence, and I am the high priest of Lady Pain..."

The old man told the history, Li Qi shrank his neck, Sardar clanged and drew his sword, and then made a rattling sound of teeth.

Ms. Pain's reputation is not small, not because of how powerful she is, but because of her wonderful teachings: pain is the true meaning of life, so one must devote one's limited life to infinite self-abuse, and in the end, in a battle worth bragging or In the incident, ending one's life with extreme cruelty and pain that the witnesses will never forget will be regarded as the fulfillment of life.

Her followers are known for their penance and have created all sorts of really cool methods of suicide that are banned in public in most places.But because the professionals produced are not afraid of danger and the cost is low, they are deeply loved by the mercenary and adventure industries.

However, it was not Ms. Pain that surprised Li Qi and Sardar, but the title that the old man reported himself.

Fein's extraordinary strength is divided into ten levels, and Li Qi's apprentice knight has not yet started, so it can only be counted as level zero.Levels one to three are commonly known as the strong, levels four to six are heroes, levels seven to nine are legends, and level ten is the existence of demigods.The power above the tenth level is not tolerated by the main material plane, and belongs to the domain of the gods.

A high-ranking priest is a very honorable position in the church. No matter which church, it will not grant it to someone who has not even reached the hero level. That is to say, the old man's power is at least above level four.

The strongest Sardar in the viscount's territory is only second-level, and his occupation is still a knight whose rotten street index is second only to warriors.Based on Li Qi's superficial understanding of the criteria for dividing extraordinary powers, an old man can beat a hundred Sardars.

Seeing their reaction, the old man sighed, "I told you, it turned out to be..."

He took out an object half the size of a palm and handed it to Sardar, and Sardar handed it to Li Qi.

It looks like animal bones, according to the old man's prompt, tilted at a certain angle with the light, you can see the special pattern composed of complex lines.

The old man said: "This is a talisman used by high priests, with the emblem of the Lady of Pain engraved on it. Unfortunately, I have left the church and can no longer inspire it. Uh... it is made of the skulls of martyr saints of the church."

Li Qi shook his hand and almost threw the thing in the old man's face.

He forced himself to put the skull on the table, coughed twice, nodded and said, "Then you continue, be brief."

The story of Tarrence is not complicated. The original high priest of Ms. Pain witnessed that the whole church was immersed in the art of death and couldn't extricate herself. Doubts arose about the teachings of the Lady of Pain.

In the secret book of the church, he found that the original belief of Lady Pain came from the goddess of suffering thousands of years ago, so he left the church, looked for the footprints of the goddess of suffering, and wanted to understand the true meaning of "pain".

He found Fei Ni when he was searching for the artifact of the Goddess of Suffering, but what puzzled him was that this little girl who had a relationship with the Goddess of Suffering was actually a witch.

The old man sighed: "I have lost the favor of Lady Suffering, and the goddess of suffering has not awakened, and now I am a useless person."

Li Qi asked: "You say that Fenny is the saint of the goddess of suffering, what is the evidence?"

The old man straightened his back suddenly, and his words became more powerful: "The Goddess of Misery's fetish still retains divinity, and it resonates with Fei Ni. This is evidence that even God can't deny!"

Li Qi spread his hands: "Then why is she also a witch at the same time? Once Fei Ni reveals her real body as a witch, she will corrupt the extraordinary power around her. You know this very well, so you reminded her not to cry."

The old man's momentum was vented immediately: "She is not a witch, why is this happening, maybe, maybe it is the conspiracy of Lady Pain."

He hugged his head and moaned: "I don't know..."

It seems that the old man, or the clergy of the high priest level, still don't know the saying that the witch is actually a "fallen angel".

Li Qi felt that maybe the old man knew, but he just didn't believe it, or didn't dare to reveal it.Exposing the essence of the witch will also reveal the true colors of the gods of Fein, including the goddess of suffering he is looking for, will be denied.

"You can't deny the fact that Fenny is a witch with just one mouth." Li Qi was going to end the meeting and lock the old man to another place so that he could "raid the witch" by himself.

The old man misunderstood Li Qi's words: "Your Excellency, Viscount! I know many relics of fallen gods! The unearthed ones are worth a lot of gold bushels! As long as you don't send Fei Ni to the church, I will tell you everything I know!"

Sardar couldn't help but wink at Li Qi, but Li Qi ignored him.

What are the relics for?He is now a bitter bankrupt viscount, a weak scum who has not even reached the first level, where can he get the resources and strength to dig out the ruins?
But from another perspective, the old man is still useful.

"I thought about it again. It's really a pity to hand it over to the church. Maybe it's really a saint?"

Li Qi put on what he thought was the kindest expression: "I fell in love with Fenny the first time I saw her. If you can convince her to listen to me well, don't hand her over to the church. Where's the maid?"

There was a sudden cold wave in the hall, and Sardar looked at Li Qi with sudden eyes, and his mouth was opened wide.

Tarrence burst into tears: "Your Excellency! She is still a child!"

Li Qi was taken aback, what did he say wrong just now?Every word is normal and pure, right?
Sardar shouted: "Master! She is a witch!"

Then he suddenly realized: "I understand. In the future, when the young master sees other young masters, he will be able to proudly say that even the witch..."

"To shut up!"

Li Qi gritted his teeth bitterly: "You don't understand anything!"

Then he said to Talens: "I am also at great risk. The church doesn't say it. I heard that the witch will bring evil curses."

"That's all the church's deceitful rhetoric," Tarrence said bitterly: "The only effect is to corrupt the extraordinary power, and it has no effect on ordinary people at all. I wandered with Fenny for two or three years. There is really some evil curse. Is it still alive?"

He kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency, please let her go, I will bear whatever you want!"

Li Qi shivered...

The misunderstanding couldn't be resolved at once, he said casually, "Is being a maid more terrifying than being sent to the church?"

Tarrence shivered...

Li Qi was surprised when the old man raised his head and said with tears on his face: "I understand, I will persuade Fei Ni to serve Your Excellency well, please take pity on her as much as possible."

Huh? How powerful is the threat of "send to church"?
Li Qi asked curiously: "How does the church deal with the witch? Hang or burn?"

The old man closed his eyes: "It will be made into a living statue and purified."

Living statue?

Li Qi was stunned. Is there a fat man named Roger in this world of Finn?

"No matter which god's church it is, after catching the witch, it will use petrification to seal her body, remove all the internal organs in her body, leaving only the heart. It also uses divine magic to maintain her life and consciousness, and then let Gao Concentrated holy water circulates in and out of her body."

Every wrinkle on the old man's face and forehead was trembling, but his words were very calm: "Your Excellency, you should know that mortals cannot withstand too much divine power. High-concentration holy water is like concentrated acid. It can't hurt the body, but it can burn the soul." , and even melt the soul a little bit."

The icy cold air rose from Li Qi's tailbone to the top of his head, and he felt that not only his hair, but every hair on his face stood up.

Matching with what the goddess said, this is the step by which the god absorbs divinity from the witch.

Li Qi asked with a dry voice: "How long will it last? How many hours? How many days?"

The old man shook his head slightly: "The shortest two or three years, the longest... I heard that in the loyal sanctuary of the guardian god Kaim, there are witches who have not been purified for more than a hundred years."
