Chapter 386

After dinner, Orlan took Rin and Xiye out after sitting for a while.

He and Rin sat in a carriage, while Xiye followed on horseback.

In the carriage, Orlan and Rin sat diagonally opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

After a long time, Orlan adjusted the buttons on his sleeves and asked, "Rin, how did you become the son of the church?"

Rin asked back, "This matter is of great significance to the Phoenix family. Didn't you send someone to investigate?"

Orlan paused and said, "Indeed, when I heard the news, I did send someone to investigate, but the church made it so incredible that it was not credible."

One of the traditions of religion is to publicize and describe something in a exaggerated way, which naturally deepens the fanaticism of its believers, and also absorbs those who originally leaned towards the church and admired the goddess.

But for someone like Orlan who lives in the dark, is full of evil, and believes in black magic, the goddess is just empty talk that he usually talks about.

Upper-class people like them all believe that the goddess will not interfere in any affairs of the world unless the world ends. Most of these miracles are caused by humans or ancient relics.

It is puzzling to Orlan that a boy who has nothing to do with the light system, Kelin, can be chosen by the church to be the son of God.

He is not worried that he will be punished by the goddess after stealing the body.

If that were the case, then a brave man who was occupied by the undead with soul magic thousands of years ago would not have secretly controlled the continent for decades, and his identity was not clarified until the diary he wrote after his death.

The brave man is not more important than you, the saint? Even so, as long as you don't do something too crazy in public, it doesn't matter.

The reason why Orlan asked this was just to know more about the part of his future body, so as not to make any mistakes in the future.

"In fact, the matter is very simple. The thing known as the Holy Book suddenly designated me, and the church insisted that I be the Son of God, saying it was a rule."

"What is the sword?"

Rin shrugged: "The church gave it to me."

In order to make Orlan feel more at ease, Rin started to lie again: "How can I convince the public if I don't show my miracles like this? After all, I am the first Son of God since the church was founded."

When he said this, Rin was a little proud, and Orlan smiled without saying anything.

This power will still be used by him in the future.

As long as he steals the body at this time when it has not been canonized and strictly protected, everything will be under his control.

Then Duke Orlan asked about other things that happened in the Glowing City, such as the trial of villains and encountering witches and demons.

Rin found that when he mentioned witches and demons, his tone was disdainful.

It shows that he is not optimistic about this method of rebirth, and there may be other disadvantages.

Rin naturally exaggerated her own abilities based on her own personality, just like a child who loves to show off in front of his father.

But anyone can tell that the real credit is the treacherous means of the Witch of Life, the strength of Xiye and Lina's command, and even the final battle against the witches and demons relies on the sharpness of the sword bestowed by the church.

Orlan just listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

As they talked, the carriage had stopped at a manor in the suburbs.

Rin followed Orlan out of the carriage and looked at the manor in front of him curiously.

"This is a private house prepared for convenience to conceal people's eyes and ears. You come with me first."

After Orlan finished speaking, he took Rin and Xiye into the manor and came to the basement.

Rin saw the formation in the center of the basement at a glance, which was already dim and the paint was almost peeling off.

Mainly, Lin's eyes were fixed on the formation in the middle. Orlan said, "I originally wanted to set up a teleportation formation here, but the cost was too expensive, and the teleportation was very unstable. It would cost a lot of money to maintain it. I simply gave up."

Rin saw the magic teleportation card he took out, and her eyebrows jumped: "But, teleportation magic cards are also very expensive."

"That was under the premise that there were no high-level space magicians and top magic card masters, and there were no sufficient space-type ores. Our family happened to have it. Not to mention anything else, even the royal family of Giorar would not use it as luxuriously as we do."

Rin remembered the last time the silly roe deer teleported to the examination room thousands of miles away. Well, as Orlan expected, although the royal family had this thing, they were really reluctant to use it normally.

Orlan certainly had some bragging. The production cycle of this card alone was as long as one month, so it was impossible to use it often, but it was not too painful to use it occasionally.

Standing in the small area covered by the teleportation light, the three of them disappeared into the basement at the same time, and when they reappeared, they had arrived at the brightly lit entrance of the castle.

This castle is quite old and covers a large area, which is as big as the palace of some small countries.

Teams of guards patrol outside the castle, and people in black robes can be seen walking hurriedly in the distance.

A team of knights standing at the door bowed their heads and saluted when they saw Orlan. They were not surprised to see Xiye, but when they saw Lin, curiosity flashed in their eyes.

They could guess that this was the legendary son of the Phoenix family, the eldest young master who was only known by name but not seen.

This was the first time that the master brought the young master here. The people who did not know the truth said that this must be preparing to formally train a successor.

Entering the hall, there were people sitting in groups of three or four. Some were eating, some were playing chess, and some were chatting and arguing.

Everyone was wearing black robes, and some were wearing glasses. The topics of the arguments were all about research experiments and magic academic issues.

Seeing Orlan come in, all the noise disappeared, and everyone stood up and saluted respectfully.

Orlan waved his hand and introduced their young master, Master Lin, to everyone.

So this group of people complimented Lin one by one.

Master Lin's face was flushed and he was smiling. I don't know if he was pretending or if he really felt that these flatteries were good.

He raised his arms and waved like a leader visiting, and almost said a word of thanks to the comrades for their hard work.

Orlan patted his shoulder: "These are the backbones of the institute. You will have plenty of opportunities to communicate with them later."

"Okay."

Orlan was very satisfied with Lin's excitement. When he turned around, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a poisonous spider that was about to lure prey into the web to play and hunt.

"Now I'll take you to the most important place in our Phoenix family."

Orlan said, walking into the castle. Lin and Xiye exchanged glances, smiled and waved to the people who gathered around, and followed with big strides.

Sneaking along the corridor until he came to a red-painted door guarded by someone, Orlan pushed the door and walked in.

This is a spacious and luxurious conference room.

Rin looked around the empty conference room with a puzzled look on his face. Orlan didn't explain much and stood in front of a row of bookcases behind the conference room.

Moving a few books, the two bookcases opened outwards, revealing a blue-gray door behind.

There were also red glowing diagonal stripes on the door, and I don't know what material it was made of.

However, most of the old ruins are made of this material, but the patterns and luminous colors are different.

The common point is that they are very strong and almost impossible to open without any method, but they can be destroyed by the self-destruct device that may be carried inside.

Until now, humans have not studied what the building materials used to make the old ruins are.

Rin got behind Orlan and looked at the door carefully, and found that there was a keyhole behind each pattern, adding up to exactly seven.

As Qi Yu said, the six keys corresponded to the six seats of Orlan and the core.

Inserting the keys into the door one by one, the patterns soon became brighter, and then the stone door turned into dozens of cubes, flipping and rolling to push to both sides.

"It's amazing."

Rin pretended to see the ruins for the first time, and was full of emotion, staring at the rolling stones.

"You will see more amazing things later."

As Orlan's voice fell, a familiar tunnel appeared in front of Rin.

The structure of the forbidden magic area and the patterns of the stone slabs on both sides that he passed through last time to find the doll cannot be said to be familiar, but can only be said to be exactly the same.

"Many ruins have such forbidden magic areas at the entrance. Even high-level professionals cannot use magic rings, which means that skills and magic will be blocked. Some special mechanical puppets and even special magic beasts that do not use magic rings can move freely."

"So they are usually guardians, right?"

"Well, what I learned in school was not in vain."

Orlan praised lightly, and his leather shoes made a crisp and resonant clatter in the tunnel.

The ruins are not as big as that time, but the vision becomes clear and bright after only ten meters.

After going deeper, you can see rooms every few steps, and there are still people discussing and magic explosions.

Orlan opened one of the doors, and there were six people inside.

Some were meditating, some were writing something in their notebooks, and some were drinking wine out of boredom.

The man with a mouth full of alcohol had a mixed-race face. When he saw Orlan, he stood up quickly.

"Brother-in-law...ah, isn't this my good nephew? Long time no see."

Lin looked at the strange man in front of him with some doubts. After a moment of recollection, he remembered that this was his nominal uncle.

"Long time no see, Uncle Alex."

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. You've grown up so much."

Alex smacked his lips and was about to say something when Orlan interrupted their conversation.

"Is that thing safe and sound?"

"It's fine."

"We six are guarding here at the same time, how could anything go wrong?"

The six people responded one after another, and some of them had already cast their eyes on the box on the table.

They said guarding was just a nice way of saying it, but in fact they were just supervising each other at this critical moment.

But for Xiye's cursed bloodline, they were all sure that it was well kept.

Rin's eyes also looked at the crystal box in the middle, and saw that it contained exactly the same thing that Qiye brought back.

"You go take Xiye to check the blood mutation. I have something important to do."

Everyone bowed and left the room one by one.

Rin couldn't help curling his lips and glanced at Xiye who followed them silently.

Looking at their confident and well-planned appearance, he didn't show any expression on the surface, but thought in the standard villain's thinking mode in his heart.

It's good to be more confident. I like to see you guys being so confident now, so that I can feel the fun in the comparison later.

"Rin, come with me. I have a gift for you."

Chapter 33 The real protagonist: hundreds of lovers and thousands of descendants

At the end of the corridor, there is a smaller stone door made of similar material to the gate of the ruins.

The entire ruins are not large. Apart from the corridor, there are some rooms on both sides and the one in front of you. There seems to be no other space.

It feels like the ruins should have been used as a prison.

When Lin thought about this, Orlan had already started to open the door.

He held a small diamond-shaped block in his hand, with a circle of blue light in the middle, and sneaked into it with the diamond-shaped key.

A row of runes appeared on the door, and there was another rune lock.

After Orlan skillfully arranged the runes to unlock the door, the door retreated like particles, and when the two walked in, the door was restored again.

As soon as he entered here, Rin felt that his magic ring began to loosen slightly.

Orlan explained patiently at this time: "This place was originally forbidden to magic. I spent a lot of effort to find a magic circle master to artificially build a formation similar to a magic circuit here, so that some skills can be used."

It seems to be unlocked about 50%.

Rin muttered in his heart and looked around. The room was dark, with only a large magic circle in the center.

And in the center of the magic circle, the green wheel instrument was turning, making a buzzing sound.

This sound was very strange, it felt like it was constantly circling in the head, and it was easy to pull people's attention away.

Lin was well prepared, so he quickly got rid of his daze.

Orlan, who knew everything here, was naturally not affected. He had already walked in front of the prototype that was rotating.
