Chapter 196 Green Light

Then, an amazing scene unfolded—the high priest swiftly and gently touched the end of the colorful ribbon of water with his other free hand.

In an instant, as if some mysterious mechanism had been triggered, the entire water belt exploded!

Countless water droplets of equal size and smooth shape scattered and splashed out like fireworks blooming in the night sky. They floated leisurely in mid-air, shimmering with a charming light, like dazzling stars adorning the sky.

"drink--"

The high priest shouted, and water droplets from all over the space fell evenly onto the delicious food on the altar. Then, he took the water ball from the bishop beside him and did the same thing twice more.

After every single dish of food was thoroughly soaked by that mysterious drop of water, an astonishing change quietly took place in a corner unnoticed by anyone.

The black liquid that was originally hidden inside the beautiful, crystal-clear water droplets seemed to have a life of its own, cleverly slipping into the food and becoming one with it.

At the same time, the water droplets that had been encased in the black liquid lost their support and quickly slid down the smooth surface of the plate.

They resemble miniature waterfalls, cascading directly onto the altar below and easily seeping into the intricate patterns above.

As time went on, this infiltration continued to spread.

First, the entire altar began to emit a faint and slightly dim green light, and then, the light spread like ripples to the floor of the entire hall.

However, it is regrettable that, despite the mystery and wonder of the light, it appeared so insignificant under the enormous and numerous dazzling chandeliers overhead, and was easily and completely obscured.

Without careful observation, it would be almost impossible to detect that this space is shrouded in a faint green halo.

However, this astonishing change did not escape the keen eyes of Lin Xiyue and others who were on the periphery.

Just as the green light was about to spread like a tide to their location, Earl solemnly knelt on one knee, firmly supporting himself with his right hand on the ground. Then, he closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and continuously channeled his powerful energy into the ground.

As time went on, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Earl's forehead, but his hands did not slow down at all.

Finally, when he felt that he had inputted enough energy, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly grabbed the mysterious white "liquid" that had been placed aside with his left hand.

Earl carefully opened the lid and poured out the white "liquid".

The liquid, like a silver waterfall, fell precisely onto the spot where he had just injected energy.

In an instant, the two met and produced a strange reaction—the white "liquid" mingled and intertwined with the energy underground, emitting a faint red glow, which then came into contact with the spreading green light.

Then they merged together, and gradually, the red glow seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the green light; the red light replaced the green light and occupied the area where Lin Xiyue and the others were.

After doing all this, Earl gently released his hands and slowly stood up.

At this moment, Lin Xiyue and the others focused their attention on Earl's face, wanting him to explain the underlying principle.

"Ahem, let me tell you."

Earl glanced at the altar, where the high priest was still muttering incantations and making some strange gestures. He figured he still had time to show off his knowledge, so he cleared his throat.

"I've infused energy into these magic array patterns on the ground, which is equivalent to filling this space, so those green lights will definitely fight if they try to get in."

"But at this time, the white honey I sprinkled, oh, that's the name of this 'liquid,' has the ability to integrate energy. So when those green lights come into contact with the white honey, they will think that the energy inside is also their own, that it's already full, so they will bypass our area."

Earl explained smugly, looking as if he was about to put his hands on his hips and wag his tail.

"Wow, this thing is amazing! What about the black stuff we intercepted?"

Lin Xiyue's curiosity was answered, and then she posed another question to Earl.

"Huh?! Oh, well... I don't know ORZ. The things I just told you guys were things I learned when I was in school. Back then, Moros and Li Si made me memorize them, and that's how I did it. QAQ"

When asked this question, Earl hesitated awkwardly for a moment before admitting that he had no idea and that his previous knowledge was simply copied from elsewhere.

"Pfft-"

Lin Xiyue laughed out loud when she saw Earl's embarrassed puppy-like expression.

"Alright, alright, now that the problem is solved, shall we get started?"

Seeing Earl's increasingly embarrassed expression, Lin Xiyue kindly helped to change the subject.

"No, if we act now, those misled followers won't listen to us at all, and they'll even try to stop us."

Lingyan interjected.

He often did this kind of thing and knew that it was impossible to reason with people who were being deceived, and that they might even hurt those who helped them, so he directly rejected Lin Xiyue's suggestion.

"Then what do we do now?"

Lin Xiyue watched as the eerie green light gradually spread, enveloping everyone except them. She became anxious, for there were many innocent people among them.

"We can only wait. Anything we do now will be seen as wrong, so we can only wait until a real problem arises and they see it. And sometimes, even if a real problem arises, those people will pretend not to see it and find their own reasonable explanation. Sigh."

Lingyan said in a deep voice.

“e=(′o｀*))) Sigh, it’s really amazing.”

Lin Xiyue sighed and turned her gaze back to the center of the altar.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the high priest, dressed in a magnificent robe and with a solemn and dignified expression, leaped gracefully and nimbly to the crucial position at the end of the entire ceremony.

After landing steadily, he first carefully tiptoed, as if afraid of breaking the solemn atmosphere around him.

Then, an amazing scene unfolded—his body floated slightly into the air, as if gently lifted by a mysterious force.

At this moment, the high priest slowly raised his arms, which had been hanging down at his sides, and finally stretched them upwards in an elegant and powerful posture, with his palms in a supporting position, as if he were preparing to receive some kind of blessing from heaven.
