Chapter 80 The Secret Place
However, the strong colors and starlight Igna only saw at the moment of "shuttle".
After a dreamlike apparition, he came to a room that seemed to be embedded in the night sky. On one side of the room is a vertical bookcase that is four or five meters high. On the other side of the room is a luxuriously decorated altar.
The bookshelves can’t tell the age, but the altar obviously has features that don’t belong to this era.
The altar is gorgeous and delicate, but it obviously goes against common sense. For example, the candlesticks actually hang from the ceiling. Metal round rods running down from the dome hang from the ceiling, and candlesticks are inlaid at the bottom. There are slash-like pattern marks on the black walls.
There are 31 on the left side of the candlestick and 30 on the right side. It looks very counterintuitive, messy and asymmetrical. (Note 1)
Igna, who had learned the family history in the ring, immediately realized that this was a sacrificial system belonging to the great nobles in the Fourth Epoch.
The family, Bethel Abraham, was a great noble during the Solomon Empire, an existence that no true **** dared to despise.
"We hold the door to the starry sky, we are the nobles of the Tudor Dynasty. Whether it is the royal family of the Loen Kingdom now, or Einhorn of Feysac, or Sauron of Intis, they all once looked up to us.
"Our ancestors are full of glory."
The words were written on the first page of the family history, which Ignatius had no idea about.
But at this moment, he suddenly understood the pride that belonged to Abraham.
is like some things will be forgotten, but some things will be engraved in the mind like instinct.
Igna approached the altar, and naturally knelt down on his knees in front of the altar, obedient and pious.
He used his spirituality to light the two candles in front of him. The 61 candles beside him also lit automatically in an instant.
The altar is inlaid with high-quality rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, lapis lazuli and other ritual materials, which also seem to shine a little under the candlelight. (Note 2)
Igna suppressed his desire to touch these gems one by one, and relied on meditation to calm himself down completely.
He clenched the palm of his right hand into a fist on the altar, the wound just opened by the ornament at the entrance burst again, and bright red blood flowed out of Igna's palm and dripped onto the cauldron with intricate patterns engraved on the altar. middle.
In an instant, the fire light was dyed with a layer of darkness.
Igna lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and solemnly recited in the ancient Hermes language with a submissive look:
"The great gate of all gates;
"The leader of the endless starry sky;
"The key to all mystical worlds.
"Your descendants, your clansmen, your devout followers pray to you, that you grant me direct correspondence with the Presbyterian Church.
"Igna Abraham has completed the magic potion digestion of the magician, and applied for the 'astrologer' potion material,
"I pray for your favor;
"I pray that you will listen;
"I ask you to pass on my wishes to the elders of Abraham..."
With the chanting of Ignatius.
The gems on the altar also shone in various colors. They became illusory in an instant, and it seemed that something gathered into a torrent and threw it towards the candlelight on the altar.
Igna's blood joined the ranks.
It turned into little stars.
The flames of the candles suddenly expanded and intertwined, forming an "illusory door" that seemed to lead to other worlds.
Igna felt the surrounding temperature drop suddenly. Something dark and alive seemed to be staring at him in the passage. (Note 3)
However, this feeling lasted for a moment.
After Ignatius finished chanting, the passage was closed. The feeling of being stared at by something also disappeared.
After calming down some of the turbulent mood, Igna stood up slowly.
He didn't forget Arrodes' warning, he still planned to follow Arrodes' advice and promote after meeting Senior Xiao Zhou.
Applying to the family at this time, Igna is mainly to leave time to turn around.
Although Abraham is an angel family with a long history, in the fifth century, due to the curse of the family, the whole has gradually declined. Although under the protection of Mister Fool, the family is no longer troubled by the curse. However, there are still very few high-ranking powerhouses in the clan, and there are only a handful of clansmen who have the ability to travel. Most of the "travel" depends on the Sealed Artifacts.
Accordingly, after receiving an application, the Presbyterian Council needs to conduct a meeting, approve it, apply for it, and send a deacon or elder who can serve as an inspector to come to the assessment process. It is not too advanced to apply now.
While he was waiting, he could consult the documents in this space belonging to the Lilance branch.
Igna knew that his strengths were limited, but at least he could start sorting out the literature entries for now.
Huh... Igna sighed silently, and when he was about to communicate with Jules about the plans and arrangements for the next period of time, his inspiration seemed to be touched by something.
Someone "traveled" through the passage between the Presbyterian Church and the point of contact.
Almost instinctively, Ignatius sensed the arrival of the "visitor" even earlier than Jules, who was higher in the sequence.
Igna turned around the first time.
Before the altar inlaid with gems, there seemed to be ripples and vibrations suddenly.
In the void, a young lady with long brown curly hair wearing a long beige dress with a long collar and a beret suddenly appeared.
Her body is well-proportioned and slender, her pale blue eyes are like beautiful gems, her temperament is calm and lazy, and nothing seems to bother her.
The lady's hand rested on the shoulders of a gentleman of medium build with exaggerated arms and fairly neatly combed hair. (Note 4)
The two people who suddenly appeared in the room made Igna stunned.
This is too fast, right? At this speed, even a SF little brother would be ashamed of himself.
Even though he didn't know these two people, Ignat subconsciously bowed slightly to this lady and this gentleman. Anyone who can come through the "passage" is a relevant person of the Presbyterian Church.
"Elder Dorian Abraham. Miss Fors Wall. Good afternoon." Jules Tien, who was behind Ignatius, also bowed and saluted to the people who came politely and said respectfully.
Dorian Abraham?
Fors Wall?
Igna took a silent breath.
The two in front of him were actually the "messengers" who brought the Fool's gospel to Abraham.
Deacon Dorian Abraham and his student Fors Wall.
This elegant lady with a lazy and decadent temperament is also the only saint in the Abraham family, apprentice pathway Sequence 4, mystic!
——
Miss Fors is still very strong in Abraham's eyes! !
