Versatile Mage: Devour the Awakening Stone at the beginning

Chapter 27 Asking for Candles
"What will happen after being chosen by God?" Yang Yun continued to ask.

The village chief was very friendly and did not get bored with Yang Yun's constant questioning. Instead, he kept adding supplements to him, as if he wanted the outsider to realize the magic of the priest.

There was a hint of admiration in the village chief's eyes, and he slowly said: "As long as they are chosen by God, the priest will give them divine power, giving them the ability to summon monsters to fight!"

Since some of the villagers can summon obedient monsters, those foreign monsters can hardly pose a threat to them anymore.

Even if they encountered some powerful monsters, they still had the chance to escape. The situation where they had to wait to die before facing the monsters all came to naught with the help of the priest.

Hearing the village chief's words, the expressions of Yang Yun and Tang Yue changed at the same time.

The two of them knew very well what the summoned monster was, it was a black beast refined by the Black Vatican!
Yang Yun calmed down the changes on his face and asked, "How many people in this village are chosen by God now?"

The village head thought for a while and said, "In the past few years, only three people have appeared."

After finishing speaking, a look of regret appeared on the village head's face. It seemed that he was not among the three people.

Yang Yun had some guesses in his mind, maybe except for these three people and the so-called priest, no one else knew how the dark beast got here.

Even those three people may have been bewitched by the priest, and became the sharp blade in the hands of the member of the Black Vatican.

As for the past few years that the village chief mentioned...it seems that the priest has stayed in Nanshan Village for a long time.

No one noticed the weirdness of Nanshan Village before, maybe they didn't have any strange performances, such as the candles they just wore recently.

Following behind the village chief, Yang Yun said again: "Village chief, do you still have this candle? My girlfriend and I also want to be sheltered."

The village head stopped, frowned and looked back at Yang Yun.

"Don't you believe the priest? Why are you paying attention to lighting candles now?"

The village chief has this candle in stock, but after all, the other party questioned the priest just now, it is definitely not possible to just give it to him.

Seeing the village chief's suspicious expression, Yang Yun said what he had thought about for a long time: "I really didn't believe it at first, but after you said so much, I think your priest is indeed very powerful."

Hearing Yang Yun's explanation, the village chief was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded.

Although the other party's heart may be dishonest, but if he can find two more believers, the village chief feels that his chances of being chosen by God may be greater.

"The candle is at my house. We're done exploring the village anyway, so let's go back to my house to rest." The village chief led the two of them back the way they came.

No matter whether they came in or returned, none of the villagers took the initiative to talk to Yang Yun during the whole process, and at most they just greeted the village chief next to him.

Yang Yun also expressed his understanding of this phenomenon. After all, they stayed in the village all year round and were not very good at communicating with outsiders. Since they were led by the village chief, they would not make unnecessary efforts.

Back at the village chief's hut, Yang Yun and Tang Yue sat quietly in the living room and waited.

The living room is very spacious, except for some sundries, there is nothing else around.

There is only the village head in the family, and his children died early, so living here alone is very lonely.

[System upgrade starts, progress: 1%]

System Upgrade?

Yang Yun was looking forward to this. Although the devouring system brought a lot of abilities, they were not very strong. He didn't know what would happen after this upgrade.

"What's wrong with the candle?" Tang Yue, who was sitting next to Yang Yun, suddenly asked when the village chief went to find candles in other rooms in the yard.

Tangyue observed the candles for a long time along the way. She knew that there must be something weird about the things the priest handed out, but she still couldn't find the problem.

"I don't know, that's why I need candles, it's more convenient for research." Yang Yun said.

"That's it." Tangyue suddenly felt a little balanced in her heart.

About a minute later, the village chief walked into the living room with two candles that were exactly the same as the ones he was wearing around his waist.

"Here, you guys just wear it around your waist. I have a red string here." Then, the village chief took out two more red strings from his pocket.

The villagers' candles are all tied around their waists with ropes, but the colors are different.

"Thank you, old man." Yang Yun took the candle and red rope with a smile, and assigned a group to Tang Yue next to him.

Seeing Yang Yun's smile, the village chief also felt a little relieved. It was great that he had accepted two followers so quickly~
At this time, the village chief seemed to have forgotten Yang Yun's initial doubts about the priest, and was only left with the joy of having "accepted a believer" in his heart.

In the eyes of the village chief, this candle is the priest's fetish. Since the two young people in front of him accepted the fetish, they are the priest's believers.

"It's almost noon, do you want to stay for a meal?" the village chief asked.

"Okay!"

Tang Yue was about to refuse, but Yang Yun agreed without hesitation.

Tangyue looked at Yang Yun suspiciously, she didn't have the habit of staying at strangers' houses for food, she felt that such behavior was not very polite.

But Yang Yun did not look back at her. Instead, he walked towards the kitchen with the village chief with a smile on his face.

"Old man, let me help you."

"Hey, how can this work, you are a guest."

He tried to evade, but the village chief couldn't hide the smile on his face.

It had been a long time since anyone had come to eat with him. Although the young man next to him was a little rude before, he knew that the other person had a good heart and had become a believer through himself just now, so he still felt very happy about Yang Yun and the two staying. happy.

The village chief had no relatives, so Yang Yun felt that since he was here, he would have a good meal with him and make the old man happy for a while.

Of course, if the village chief hadn't told him that he had to work in the fields after lunch, Yang Yun would not have stayed.

The candle that Yang Yun wanted must be devoured, so that he could see what is special about the candle based on the ability he acquired. If the old man was always by his side, Yang Yun would not dare to destroy the candle.

In the kitchen, Yang Yun chatted happily with the village head. From what the other said, Yang Yun also learned a lot about Nanshan Village.

For example, this village has a long history, or the priest came to settle in this village seven years ago, or maybe their village was attacked by demons before, and many people died in the village.

In such an ordinary village without mages, encountering a monster would indeed be a terrible disaster.

From what Yang Yun learned about the periphery of Bo City, there were only two types of slave-level demons: the one-eyed demon wolf and the giant-eyed rat. However, this did not mean that there would be no other demons.

Some monsters that live alone do not have a fixed residence, and their walking trajectories are inherently erratic.

For example, the slave-level snake demon that appeared in the old man's village before was probably a solitary demon that sneaked into the range of the demon wolf's activities.
