Chapter 144 Kabbalah grows trees upside down

When Paladin came out of the house again, he was holding a bloody Stone of Truth as big as a pumpkin in his hand. After casually removing the mute magic, Paladin's figure disappeared into the shadows of the street. And in the manor, there were only corpses ground into bone powder. At first glance, there was no body at all, but a thick pile of ashes forming a hill.

At dawn the next day, Paladin blended elements of light into his chamber. Deduct half of the Stone of Truth used to fill life, and fuse more than fifty copies of the Stone of Truth. The long-lost golden element flows into the body from the palm of the hand. Visible to the naked eye, the arm that was completely crystallized slowly eroded towards the flesh and blood, gradually expanding and transforming into more crystals. As usual, Paladin, who endured the severe pain and turned pale, fell into a deep sleep again after the fusion was completed.

It's still the blank space, the huge and weird inverted tree totem on the ground. Paladin opened his eyes very calmly, lying flat in the circle with the word 'Gluttony' engraved on it, looking at the sky, which was also empty. Slowly sitting up, he was not surprised to see the black boy sitting outside the circle staring at him. Paladin blinked, touched the missing arm, turned around and saw that the inside of the severed hand was not dripping with blood, but a chaotic nothingness.

Paladin looked back at the black boy and suddenly asked: "Are you going to eat me?" The boy's response was just a silent nod. Reluctantly standing up and looking at this strange space, Paladin knew very well that this was definitely not a dream, but that after fusing the light element, his soul entered this strange space. Seeing this, Paladin tried to get some information out of the young man's mouth, and couldn't help asking again: "Where is this place?" However, to Paladin's disappointment, this time the young man was indifferent. It was as if the words could not be heard at all.

Sighing slightly, Paladin lowered his head and glanced at the huge totem on the ground. This is the same stone slab under Ripley's Scroll in the different space leading to the Free Masons' Guild. He couldn't help but stare into the young man's dark eyes and asked: "What is this?" To Paladin's expectation, when the young man saw Paladin pointing to the fallen tree totem on the ground, he nodded and opened his mouth to answer in a childish voice. : "This is the Kabbalah tree."

"Kabbalah?" Paladin frowned. This was the first time he heard this name. I had checked in the cathedral's collection of books before and found no information about this totem at all. But now that a name came out of this boy's mouth, Paladin couldn't help but believe that he might really be able to learn from this guy's mouth the culprit that had been bothering him for a long time and even caused him to be unable to sleep or eat.

"Kabbalah... Is this a name? Who is it? Have you seen it?" Paladin asked a lot of questions, but the black boy shook his head, turned around and looked at the nine circles in the distance and the A huge totem, a pair of small hands stretched out and said: "The tree of Kabbalah. The tree of soul, truth, and life. It is the shortcut to the three divine doors."

"Three major divine gates?" Paladin frowned, and he began to feel a little confused. But who would have thought that the black boy turned around and looked at him again, raised his little finger and pointed at Paladin and said: "The unyielding one on the road of the Fire Sword, on this road, only one person can reach the end and pass through the three divine gates. !" "You...what did you say!" Paladin took a few steps back. He looked at the boy who was still smiling innocently, but he felt that there was a major problem that he had ignored! But Paladin's question was met with a split smile from the young man. He put down his pure black arms, returned to the ground again, and said softly: "It's time to go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin suddenly felt as if his whole body was being pulled hard by countless hands. The scene in front of him suddenly distorted and disappeared. Once again plunged into boundless darkness. Drowsily, Paladin opened his eyes. What caught my eye was my own room. Paladin, who was very familiar with it, stood up and began to dip the bucket of water prepared next to him into a towel and wipe the sweat from his body and forehead. But Paladin, who remained silent, had a strange and erratic look in his eyes. Yes, this was the first time, the first time the guy in that space spoke so many words to him. But the name Kabbalah Tree made Paladin feel more and more in danger! He wanted to find out as soon as possible what was going on with this Kabbalah!

Just when Paladin merged with the light element, he secretly felt a hidden crisis. After being informed of yesterday's incident, the news that Archbishop Salil excommunicated Tony in anger has spread like wildfire. Wearing ordinary clothes made of linen, walking on the streets. Pedestrians and priests pointed at him. I could vaguely hear some priests talking with disdain: "I heard that this scum who violated the canon rules actually wore divine robes to enter and leave such filthy places! Oh my god, it's hard to believe that such a guy is a clergyman like us." Humph, it is simply an open blasphemy against the great god! He should be burned at the stake and receive a fair and just trial."

Hearing these words, Tony lowered his head and flushed, and quickly walked away from these eyes that made him very uncomfortable. At this moment, his self-esteem as a noble was extremely hurt. Having been excommunicated by the archbishop in front of him, the only person he could think of to save his life was Paladin. So at this moment, he was walking quickly towards Paladin's temporary residence.

He had just put on fresh clothes and was about to rush to his church to start planning who would deal with the injured today. There was a loud gasping sound immediately from the door. It shows the anxiety of the people outside the door. Frowning slightly, Paladin's Almighty Eye suddenly flashed on his forehead, and with the power of the Almighty Eye, he clearly saw Tony, wearing coarse clothes and linen, standing in poverty outside the door, ignoring the onlookers around him, and hurriedly Knocking on the door. After pondering for a while, in order to avoid making a bad impression, Paladin put on a smile and stepped forward to open the door. Let the onlookers outside see your gentle and polite smile.

"Come in." Paladin put on a smile, squinted his eyes, and quickly interrupted Tony who was about to speak when he saw Paladin. After squeezing out two words through his teeth, he pulled Tony into the room and closed the door with his backhand. door. "Your Excellency, Auxiliary Bishop! I believe you already know about my being excommunicated! I just hope you can help me and forgive me for being disrespectful to you yesterday!"

As soon as Paladin closed the door, a very eager Tony immediately began to pray for Paladin's grace. But the moment the door of the Paladin security room was closed, the smile on Paladin's face suddenly changed and became gloomy. He looked at Tony intently and suddenly sneered: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, my good Tony. I am very willing to forgive your behavior and insults yesterday, but now that you have been expelled, what else can you do to me?" What’s the use?”

"No! No, my lord. You can make me a servant, and I will do anything to serve you! I will take care of your food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I just hope that one day you can achieve something!" Paladin was very surprised when he heard this weak excuse. He shook his head helplessly and leaned on the door frame and said: "You are too naive, my little Tony. Your noble status is worthless to me, and you, like me, are all because you deeply understand that the status of a noble cannot be given. You spent a lot of your life in the church. Now that you have been kicked out of the church, what use are you to me besides having fun and doing nothing?"

"I..." Tony was anxious, as if he wanted to explain something. But Paladin didn't have the time to deal with a waste. He opened the door to himself, waved his hand and said politely and indifferently: "Please go out, my friend. Leave the fortress after the war and disappear from my eyes forever." , Never show up in front of me again." Tony glared and couldn't believe that he had completely abandoned him. I know that any explanation at this moment is useless. He didn't dare to imagine what the future would be like. With legs as heavy as lead, he just stepped out of the door. Just when he was about to turn around and try to make amends, the ruthless door of Paladin suddenly closed in front of his eyes. It also made his heart fall straight into the abyss with the sound of the door. . .
