Chapter 218: Transformed into a Hypocritical High Priest Who Covets the Godhead of Light (2)
"Captain, why do I feel like something is wrong with Qi? You just threatened him, how could he give up the sacrifice so easily?" He begged me for a long time before coming in... A magician raised his doubts.
"If you keep talking, you'll be out too."
The magician clenched his fists and said, "Got it."
In the ghost forest composed of giant black trees, Qi Heng shuttled through it looking for the young man just now.
Going deeper into the Ghost Forest is one of the strongholds of the Dark God's followers.
Dark God believers would appear from time to time around, and if the young man was discovered and captured in the stronghold, all his efforts would be in vain.
Fortunately, the white-haired boy only moved a little.
When Dawn saw the familiar black-robed man coming back, he blinked and clenched his fists under his long sleeves.
Why did you come back? Did you regret letting him go?
Liming couldn't move and could only suppress the hatred that was about to burst out of his body, looking at the person who came with an innocent face.
The man in black robe spoke, but the processed voice made it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
He picked himself up and said he couldn’t go back to the village.
Li Ming's eyes moved, but he didn't refute it, and asked
"If I don't go home, where should I go?"
"Go to Victoria. Everyone there believes in the God of Light. Your luminous body will be protected there."
When mentioning the God of Light, Dawn subconsciously glanced at the black robe the man was wearing.
There was a blood-red pattern on the back of the black robe that Liming couldn't understand, but it felt vaguely familiar...
The young man said tentatively, "I want to go back to the village to see what it has become. Can we leave after we see it?" He was lying. He would find a way to get rid of the man in black and find Ashe at dawn, and then go together to save his parents.
Qi Heng guessed the boy's thoughts and said in a gloomy tone, "You have no choice. Giving you one less body of light to sacrifice is already the greatest kindness. Don't dream of anything else."
After saying this, he carried the boy back on his shoulders and ran towards the edge of the forest.
Victoria, the center of power on the continent of Viriya.
There lies the most magnificent Temple of Light in the entire continent, as well as the most loyal believers of the God of Light.
A pure being of light is eligible to run for the Son of God even if he has no background when he arrives in Victoria.
According to Qi Heng's idea, this is his only lifeline right now, and it would be unreasonable not to take it seriously and save his life at any time.
It was most appropriate for him to run for the position of Holy Son and stay in the temple, even though Qi Heng didn't even know who the other party was from Ashe or what he looked like.
When they reached the outskirts of the Ghost Forest and the light shone through the leaves onto the ground, Qi Heng stopped and let the white-haired boy stand on the ground.
Liming's hands and feet were tied, and he moved his calves uncomfortably.
Li Ming felt something was wrong when he saw the sudden silence of the black-robed man opposite him.
"Why did you stop? Is there a problem?"
The young man blinked in confusion, his pale blue pupils seemed to contain the entire sky, shining like broken diamonds.
White curly hair, pale blue eyes… a human form of the Dark God? How is that possible?
Qi Heng's brain froze and he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Who would have thought that the dark god would have pure white curly hair and pale blue pupils like broken diamonds.
The human form of the God of Light has black hair and golden snake eyes.
The two gods borrowed each other's skin.
Pale blue…pale blue…pale blue…
By the way, white hair and blue eyes are not only found in the human form of the Dark God, right?
The plot never said that the human form of the Dark God and the human form of the Light God are brothers.
And in the plot, this young man will become a sacrifice to the Dark God, so it is normal that he has never appeared.
Qi Heng untied the ropes that bound Liming's ankles, took a deep breath, and warned himself to stay calm.
The plot cannot be wrong. The human body of the Dark God is the young master of the Duke of Victoria's Mansion. He grew up in luxury and could never be a family member of the human body of the Light God, Asher.
The resemblance is probably just a coincidence...
Thinking back, Asher and the human body of the Dark God have always been in a hostile relationship, but whenever he had the opportunity to kill the other party, Asher would give up on his own initiative for various strange reasons.
If the Dark God's human form looks like Asher's family, then that makes sense, yes.
"What? Is there something wrong with my face?" The man was wearing a mask under his black robe, but Liming's intuition told him that the other party was staring at his face for a long time.
Qi Heng came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, let's go."
He grabbed the rope that bound Dawn's wrists and dragged him forward, trying to act like a bad guy as much as possible.
As the high priest of the Temple of Light, the original owner would mix with a group of Dark God believers and kidnap Asher's family.
Because the original owner not only served as the high priest of the Temple of Light,
He is also a part-time follower of the Dark God and a prayer-teller of the God of Life (a marginal identity that is not even a follower)
He 'believes' in three gods at the same time... and his motives are extremely impure!
Qi Heng rubbed his brows and wanted to sigh. Only the original owner could do this...
It was later discovered and almost killed by the three forces, but it was fortunate that the original owner hid quickly.
The two of them got on the carriage and swayed past one city after another, going in and out of the city back and forth.
Finally stopped in the neighboring city of Victoria.
Feeling the carriage no longer shaking, Liming opened his eyes and looked at the street outside the carriage. "Are you staying overnight?"
Qi Heng nodded and randomly chose an inn to stay in. He originally planned to lock the boy in the room, but after thinking it over, he returned to the house.
"Huh? Why are you going out? Don't you want to rest?" Li Ming was already lying in bed, but was forcibly pulled up by Qi Heng, and was very reluctant.
"Come shopping for clothes with me."
Liming almost thought he had heard wrongly. His eyes widened and he pointed at himself with his fingers tied with twine. "Huh? Who's with you? Me?"
Qi Heng said nothing, just took off his black robe and stood motionless at the door, clearly asking Li Ming to follow him.
"Then my hands can solve the problem..."
"Don't think about it."
Dawn made a bitter face and said, "Okay."
When Qi Heng turned his back to the boy, Liming became expressionless and stared at Qi Heng's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Qi Heng bought a new set of clothes and boots.
Li Ming followed Qi Heng, like an adult taking a child shopping.
The hemp rope that bound the wrists was hidden by the long sleeves, and was only slightly exposed when walking, but it was not obvious.
"Here we sell the second piece of the same style at half price. Have you ever thought about buying one for your children?" The tailor shop owner looked at Liming, his eyes flashing with surprise. What beautiful white hair and eyes!
Those who believe in the God of Light love light colors, especially pure white and pale blue, because these are the hair and eye colors of the God of Light himself.
Li Ming didn't expect Qi Heng to agree, and shrugged, conveying to the tailor shop owner that he was helpless.
Then the next second, "Well, buy him one too."
The boss' eyes lit up and he immediately stood up and ran to the warehouse to find the same style. This piece of clothing was very expensive, and he would not lose money even if he sold two pieces and closed the store for a week.
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Qi Heng looked at Liming and then at his own clothes.
The boy was wearing long sleeves and long pants, which are common in remote villages, and his sleeves and trouser legs were casually tied with ropes to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.
There was a lot of dust on the road, which was incompatible with the luxurious style of Victoria and could even be considered old-fashioned.
The premise is to ignore the face that any noble woman would envy and be jealous of, well, like an angel, so beautiful that it's fake.
Qi Heng suddenly became very curious about what the boy would look like wearing such clothes.
The boss held the clothes close to Li Ming and gestured, "Take a quick look. Are you satisfied? I think the style is very suitable for this gentleman! Go and try it on."
Liming was a little confused. He didn't expect that the man in black, no, now he should be called the masked man, would really buy him such flashy clothes. There was no need for hostages, right?
Realizing that Qi Heng was looking at him, Li Ming turned his head away, took the clothes with both hands, and walked into the changing room somewhat awkwardly.
Wait, his hands are tied so he can't change his clothes, right? Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he had an idea to escape.
"The Temple of Light is selecting saints and holy maidens. Mary, do you think I can be selected as a saint?" A young lady wearing a long skirt and a beret at the door asked hopefully.
"The requirements for selecting a saint are extremely high. If you ask me, among the noble ladies, only Avril and Denise have a chance of being selected..."
The temple selects the saint and son?
This was unfortunate. Qi Heng was worrying about how to recommend the young man to enter the Temple of Light and take on the position of Holy Son.
Today's selection process is like sending a pillow when you are sleepy.
