Chapter 205: Lighthouse Confrontation
Everyone had their own ideas, and under the leadership of Elder Mu, they finally arrived at the central lighthouse.
This ancient building looks particularly majestic in the darkness. The tower is made of rough stones, and the years have left mottled marks on its surface.
"Let's go up." Elder Mu narrowed his eyes and said impatiently.
Stepping onto the stone steps, they walked up one level at a time and reached the top of the tower in about half an hour.
This is a magic circle carved with mysterious patterns, and in the center of the circle is a huge orange crystal.
The crystals were dull and lifeless, appearing decayed and dead.
Elder Mu's expression became very solemn. He bowed slightly to the crystal and then introduced it to everyone: "This Dawn Crystal was transformed from the head of the pioneer back then. It is used as the core of the magic circle. The magic circle transmits the energy of the crystal to the lighthouse for lighting. When the divine power in the crystal is exhausted, other followers of the Dawn need to use their divine power to fill it so that the lighthouse can continue to bring us light."
Elder Ge Lan looked at the patterns of the formation and frowned.
Elder Mu smiled at them and continued, "Which of you would like to go into the magic circle first and provide some divine power for our lighthouse?"
Phil Gray raised his head suddenly and was about to remind his companions when he heard Elder Grant snort coldly and grab Elder Mu's clothes.
"Do we look like fools? It is normal for us to stand on the periphery of a magic circle to channel divine power, but you want us to stand inside? Once we stand inside, all our divine power and even our life force will be drained, because this is not a magic circle at all, but an altar, and the patterns on it are clearly used for sacrifices!"
Perhaps ordinary believers do not understand the sacrificial text, but as elders of the Dawn Divine Religion, they are very familiar with it.
"Your pioneers were willing to sacrifice their lives to build this altar, which brought you light, but you use it to deceive the lives of his descendants?" Elder Glen said angrily.
Although he didn't know the truth, he guessed it was almost right.
As an elder of the Cult of the Dawn, he felt sad when he saw these islanders worshiping the sun and longing for light, but having to endure endless darkness. He was full of pity for them. If he had been that elder, he would have been willing to make sacrifices.
But no one expected that these people would make such a choice and trample on Chenxi's kindness with deception and betrayal!
Elder Mu's face became even more distorted, his mouth curved into a slit, his body slyly broke free from Elder Ge Lan's hand like a snake, and then he shouted loudly: "Catch them!"
Immediately afterwards, several dark shadows suddenly jumped out of the tower and pounced towards them!
"There are actually followers of other gods." Phil Gray whispered.
He retreated to a corner, trying to reduce his presence.
The Dawn Knights fought with these dark shadows and captured them all in a short while.
Elder Mu wanted to escape secretly, but he didn't notice the "native" Phil Gray who had a very low presence beside him.
He was caught red-handed.
"You!" Elder Mu's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Don't even think about running away. Don't you want to see the light?" Phil Gray lifted his hood and asked sarcastically.
Elder Mu instantly realized that he was also an outsider, and angrily called Elder Mi a traitor!
"He just knows the current situation." Phil Gray said lightly, carrying Elder Mu to the others.
Elder Ge Lan patted his shoulder and said with relief: "It's good that you are alright. If I really lost His Royal Highness the Holy Son, where would I put my face when I return to the Holy See?"
Eli and Ernest had just recognized him, so they were not very surprised. They just took the struggling Elder Mu from his hands.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. The storm that day was so severe that I was swept away before I could react." Phil Gray said with a wry smile.
"Your Highness, I'm glad you're okay. What should we do with these people?" Martin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Phil Gray appear, and pointed at the islanders being escorted by the knights.
There are seven or eight of these people, all of whom are followers of other gods, such as the Goddess of the Sea, the God of Death, etc. Their levels are not low and they are all eye-catching. They should all be thugs specially trained by the temple.
"Lock them up first, and also arrest Elder Li and lock them up together. Once the dark matter is resolved, we will settle accounts with them one by one."
Phil Gray frowned. It wasn't just the people in the temple who needed to be accounted for. Every resident on this island needed to be accounted for. They all carried sins!
"Okay." Martin nodded and gave a few instructions to his knights, who then escorted those people away.
"Do you have any idea about how to solve the darkness?" asked Elder Grant.
"Not yet, but we have to solve it, otherwise we can't leave here." Phil Gray walked in front of the magic circle and bowed deeply.
He still has great respect for this predecessor who sacrificed for light.
"At present, Elder Mi is quite cooperative. Let's go find him to learn more about the situation."
……
Of the three elders of the temple, two were imprisoned with the temple's thugs and guarded by the Dawn Knights. The remaining Elder Mi said that he would completely obey their arrangements and maintain the daily activities of the island to prevent other islanders from noticing anything unusual.
Bin and the islanders who had brought them to the temple in the beginning were also locked up, for fear that they would expose the existence of the Dawn Followers and cause even greater commotion.
"What should we do? How should we get out? Is this God's punishment for me?" Valk Dodd leaned against the wall alone, full of resentment.
They stayed in the temple for another three days, but the people from the Dawn Cult did not find any clues of their departure.
Looking at the bottomless dark sky, he cursed a few words in annoyance, then kicked the wall in anger.
Phil Gray looked at what Valk Dodd was doing nearby and laughed coldly in his heart.
Then he turned to Elder Glenn and said, "Our only option right now is to wait for the arrival of the savior that the islander mentioned. There are only a dozen days left anyway. Then we will see who he is and why he can enter and leave the island freely without being restricted here. He must know something."
"Yeah, I'm curious too." Elder Ge Lan nodded. After all, even he, who was at the level of a god-descendant, couldn't see through this place.
"What? Wait another ten days?" Valk Dodd's face suddenly changed. "Your Highness, if we wait another ten days, the traitors of the Church of Destiny will probably have taken control of the entire Church!"
"I know, but do you have any other way before waiting for the savior to come?" Phil Gray asked coldly.
Of course he was very anxious in his heart. After all, he didn't want to see that guy Wendel become Pope, but he had no other choice at the moment.
He once took the time to ask the Scales of Destiny. Xiaotian said that the situation here was somewhat similar to what it was originally, as if this island was evolving towards an independent space. There was definitely the power of God at work here.
As for which god it was, he had a vague guess in his mind.
After that, he prayed to the God of Fate, the Daytime Prophet and even the God of Death, but unfortunately no god responded to him, which meant that he had to solve the problem himself!
Of course, Valk Dodd had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Sighing, Phil Gray returned to the underground room prepared for them by Elder Mi and took out the crystal ball. In the past few days, he had been using the crystal ball to understand the movements outside.
Based on the fragments of conversation inside, he knew that several elders of the Dawn Cult had gone to the outer periphery of the Bloody Disaster to support the Knights, but they did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the three gods would take action against them.
Fortunately, the three gods did not take any more extreme actions, and no one could guess what they were planning.
The Church of the Dawn officially announced its alliance with the Church of Life, the Church of the God of Food, the Church of Eternity, the Church of the God of Creation, etc., and began to form a coalition to fight against the Church of War and the Church of Dreams.
There was a problem in the Church of the Dead. It seemed that it was divided into two factions. One faction joined the Church of War and the Church of Dreams, while the other faction expressed its intention to remain neutral and not participate in any war.
Putting down the crystal ball, Phil Gray asked Xiaotian to help keep an eye on it. With this "severe internet addict", he believed that he would not miss any important news.
Finally, after waiting in the dark for more than ten days, he heard Ernest shouting on the roof: "Your Highness, Elder Mi asked us to go over. The time we agreed to meet the Savior is today!"
