Chapter 508: A sudden wealth
Pet and the others could hear the panicked discussions of the dwarves.
"What is this place? Who brought me here!"
"God of Lava, I must have drunk too much and was dreaming and hallucinating!"
"It's over, it's over, we're all dead!"
"Don't be afraid, everyone unite, kill those cult lunatics, and then escape from here!"
"Impossible! They are all followers of the evil god, the running dogs of the devil, we can't win!"
Not far from the altar.
Another group of dwarves were sitting there quietly, meditating with their eyes closed, as if waiting for something.
The dwarves who had appeared in the lobby of truth with Pet and the others before also joined in quickly, found their own place, sat down and began to meditate.
On the exposed skin of several of them, Pet saw the familiar spiral pattern tattoo.
Some were on the neck, some on the wrist, and some were even tattooed on the face.
Found someone!
This is the gathering place of those black-robed people!
[The progress of the mission has been greatly advanced! 】
[Major contribution completed! 】
[Destiny Points +3000]
[Legendary Experience +53400]
The reward from Norwen also proves this point!
Pete first breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to ecstasy!
It's stable, it's stable now.
Even in the cult's base, the God of Knowledge will still protect them.
Moreover, his interpretation of the will of God was indeed correct.
To stay in the Dark Forest and destroy monsters, five-digit legendary experience, even for Pete and his 3rd-level strength, it would take several weeks, and the time would be counted in "months".
As a result, now they have received the same amount of income just by arriving at this mysterious base!
To get better rewards and more blessings from the God of Knowledge, you still have to take more risks, follow Norwen's guidance, and complete the exploration guided by Him.
These rewards are almost all one-time, but they are absolutely rich enough to make people rich overnight.
...
Brandon subconsciously reached behind his back, but he grabbed nothing.
In order to sneak in here, except for Reina, none of them brought weapons.
The goal of this operation is to scout and lock the location. If a fight really starts, all the combat forces of the Church of Knowledge must be shaken over here!
"Ah! Hello, new companions."
A rough voice suddenly sounded not far away.
Pet turned his head and looked in the direction of the speaker.
A very strong man with a healthy bronze skin, black beard and hair, and long hair.
The gray vest he wore looked very delicate, like a specially tailored piece of clothing, perfectly fitting the wearer's body, with textured lines and buttons.
The dwarf was walking towards Pete and others with a strange smile on his face.
"This is the realm of truth for the dwarves. It's rare to see human companions coming here."
"But it doesn't matter. Congratulations. You are about to witness the truth of the world."
"Since you have been recognized by the Supreme Truth, you will definitely become our companions."
Pet has heard this dwarven word several times:
"Supreme Truth?"
This word actually makes Pete a little dissatisfied.
The great god of knowledge, Nowen, knows so much knowledge and secrets in the world. Even so, He will only guide believers to explore the world with a seeking mentality. He is like a kind father, teaching his believers hand in hand how to work hard to make themselves stronger, instead of solving all problems directly.
As a result, these dwarves are amazing.
One word is the Supreme Truth.
It seems that they have received some revelation from the Supreme Being. As long as they go through Him, they can know all the known and unknown truths in the world and solve all problems.
If there really is such a being, how can there be so many dangers in this world.
What's more, with the nature of the cultists, their three views may be distorted.
Who knows what the "Supreme Truth" in their cognition looks like to normal people.
What made Pete feel even more strange was that the dwarves of this cult were quite "friendly" to them.
The treatment of the dwarves who were panicking and commotion beside the altar was not so good. The cultists occasionally opened their eyes and looked at them with eyes that were no different from looking at lambs to be slaughtered.
"Yes, the Supreme Truth, He is the truth of the world and the final destination of all things."
The dwarf preached to Pete and others in a familiar and rhythmic tone:
"Look over there, every month there is a group of such pitiful lambs who are not qualified to receive the gift of the Supreme Truth."
He pointed to the innocent dwarves with his hand, and this action caused many of them to look at Pete and others vigilantly and nervously.
"The truth of the world is right in front of them, but they sadly cover their eyes and ears and refuse to accept the baptism from the Lord."
"They will soon be reborn."
"You are different."
"You have successfully arrived at the lobby of truth with the token in hand, which means that you have directly obtained the recognition of the Supreme Truth and will definitely be a member of the Supreme Truth Church in the future."
"Please rest assured, you will soon witness His miracles and become His loyal followers!"
Pet felt a little sweat on his back.
It's not that he was afraid of the recognition of the Supreme Truth or becoming a follower.
But he realized one thing:
The cultists in Stone Castle are much more arrogant than those in Green Harbor and Ceylon!
They can come here not because of Reina's identity as a warlock, but most likely because they "reject everyone who comes".
As long as they can find a way to contact people related to them, such as the clerk in the tapestry shop, they will send people here.
The difference is.
Those panicked dwarves appeared here directly.
Right next to the altar.
According to this dwarf, they are "not qualified to receive the gift".
Pete and his friends are different.
They arrived at the Hall of Truth first.
They are "qualified companions".
The two ways of arrival probably correspond to different identities or qualifications.
After thinking about this, Pete naturally realized a new problem:
"Why are they so arrogant?"
Just a rough count, there are dozens of innocent dwarves who are likely to be used as sacrifices!
If we count from the timeline of Ceylon Territory, this organization that calls itself "The Church of Supreme Truth" must have been operating for at least ten years.
During such a long period of time, it is very likely that a group of innocent people have to be sacrificed every month!
Have the guards and security personnel of the Stone Fortress drunk their brains? !
Didn't they discover the hidden evil in the Stone Fortress?
