C26 To Fate

Mysterious.

He was here when Link woke up.

It was a huge hall, with towering stone pillars and richly shaped statues that revealed a typical annex to a religious temple.

The statues were of different shapes. There were God of Heaven with a sinister look on his face. There were also imbued with sacred presence. They were lively and extremely exquisite, but perhaps it had been too long since anyone cleaned them and made them a little dusty.

The walls were filled with myths and legends. Surprisingly, the walls were not painted in the brilliant colors of the western churches in the previous world. Instead, most of them were black and gray, making the entire hall look dark and gloomy.

Through the thin, curved dome of some unknown crystal, Link could see that the sky was dark and the clouds were moving. Only the faint glimmers of light that came in told him that it was daytime.

Lilisse was still lying beside him, breathing steadily, which made him feel a lot more at ease. However, she didn't show any signs of waking up, which also made him a little worried.

The big black horse seemed to be in high spirits as it slowly paced back and forth in the hall. When it noticed that Lin Ke had woken up, it gave out a happy cry and ran towards him. Only now did Lin Ke realize with surprise that the big black horse's back that was originally slightly taller than Lin Ke's shoulder had now completely surpassed Lin Ke's height.

A colossus!

Rinkey gently groped for the black horse, while the latter comfortably lowered his head to arch Rinco's shoulder and yawned comfortably. Rinkey was even more surprised to see that there were two sharp horns that were 10 centimeters long shooting straight ahead on the head of the black horse!

Is he still a horse? Lin Ke couldn't help but be puzzled.

"In essence, he is still a horse," a faint voice echoed in the hall.

Lin Ke nimbly and quickly turned his body to look around, only to discover that a bald middle-aged man wearing a pure black long robe had unknowingly appeared in a seat not far behind him.

The bald, middle-aged man had an unforgettable nose and was casually crossing his legs with a playful smile. He did not have the demeanor of an expert, but Lin Ke knew that this person was probably shockingly strong.

"Don't you have anything to say? "Oh, and of course, I saved your little lover as well as your horse. Okay, although I don't really think he's an ordinary horse," the bald man chattered a little, but he noticed that Linke, who was standing across from him, didn't say a word and was a little bored.

"Hey, say something, little friend. Say something about begging me not to kill you or ask why I brought you here? Why did I bring you here? "What is it?" The bald-headed man rubbed his nose helplessly.

"You haven't spoken to anyone like that in a long time?" Link suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?" Baldy really did not think that his first formal conversation with him would revolve around such a topic. "Maybe it's not very long. Maybe three or five years?"

Lin Ke respectfully bowed, "Thank you for saving me from death. What do you need me to do for you? Also, why can't my companions wake up? "

"Why did you decide to open your mouth again?" The baldy asked curiously.

"Because I feel that the person who can answer such a question after serious consideration will not easily kill me and may be willing to answer my questions," Linke said, still very calm.

"Mm," the baldy suddenly said after pondering for a while, "I need you to do some things, some of them might be very dangerous, very troublesome, mm …" Something that might even affect your family, of course, you'll also get a lot of benefits. "

"Can I say no?" Linke asked.

"Of course not," the baldy glared, then immediately became silent, "In the past, I wouldn't have been interested in forcing anyone to do something, but the situation now is a bit different, there are some things that have to be done," the baldy stared at Lin Ke and said seriously, "This is our fate, no one can avoid it."

"So what is it you want me to do?"

"Of course," The bald man laughed out loud as he stood up and walked out of the hall, "Come with me, I think I should show you some powerful things, and then slowly tell you this story. It's very long, oh, right, your little lover should just leave it there, the floor of the hall won't let her catch a cold, she's very good, it's just that I don't want her to wake up too early."

Link hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided not to oppose the bald man's decision. Right now, he was in exactly the same situation as Neil was a few days ago, and he had to take a gamble. He took a deep look at Lilisse's peaceful sleeping posture, then pulled down a thick tablecloth from one of the tables in the hall, shook off the dust on it, then carefully covered her with it.

One man and one horse, running towards an unknown fate.

The moment Lin Ke left the main hall, he could not help but stop in his tracks, because the main hall's protruding position allowed him to see a scene of a miracle.

And this miracle completely shocked his mind!

A huge screen of light enveloped the land like an eggshell, covering an area of several kilometers!

Outside of the light screen, a hurricane swept up endless amounts of seawater that shot into the sky, straight into the sea of clouds! It formed a huge curtain of water clouds!

Its height was unfathomable, and its thickness was unfathomable!

At the center of this enormous and immeasurable tornado was the island at the feet of Link!

Lin Ke raised his head stiffly. Not more than ten meters above the screen of light, there were already dense clouds. It was impossible to see through them!

The apocalyptic waves assaulted Lin Ke, leaving him rooted to the spot. His heart trembled and he was unable to speak. He was filled with fear.

He was unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, he felt an incomparably strong sense of his own insignificance. The sea of sand was like a speck of dust, an indescribably vast and boundless drop of water!

He saw a huge vicious sea beast that was dozens of meters long. At this moment, it was as weak as a leaf as it flashed through the screen of wind and water. Its powerless roar seemed to pass through the unshakeable curtain of light and enter his mind!

In this world, there was probably no creature that could not tremble in fear before the might of this world. Lin Ke thought absentmindedly.

"What is the view of this empty island?" The baldy silently appeared next to Link.

Lin Ke nodded dumbly. He was still in a daze.

Wait! An empty island?

Lin Ke instantly regained his senses. He stared at the bald man with wide eyes. "Tell me …" The Sky Island?! "

"That's right, it's an empty island," the baldy said with an angry smile. "It's an empty island that constantly displaces itself in the center of the stormy sea."

Rincewind, Isle of Emptiness, Sea Dragon Swirl, Storm Ocean Center.

He was confused.

"Ha ha-ha," the baldy laughed crazily, he could not stop himself from coughing, "Alright, we have watched enough, let's go to the central hall." As he said this, he turned around and took the lead to walk towards the center of the island. There, an even taller tower stood, seemingly about to pierce through the curtain of light and rush out of the hall.

Lin Ke nodded blankly. He followed behind the baldy in a daze, as if he was thinking about something. However, in reality, he wasn't thinking about anything at all.

Only after walking into the central hall did Lin Ke regain his senses. Looking back at the hundreds of meters tall, mountain-like pillar in the main hall, he somewhat calmed down, but he was still unable to close his mouth.

He only had one word in his heart, and that was' Human strength is difficult '!

The bald man walked all the way to the deepest corner of the hall and sat down on a high chair. Only then did he point to a nearby seat for Link to sit down.

Lin Ke sat down without thinking and realized that something was wrong.

In the depths of the palace, there was a rising platform, six stories high, each with a dozen or so seats. In the depths of the palace, there was a rising platform, six stories high, each with a dozen or so seats.

He pondered for a moment and was about to stand up when Baldy waved his hand to stop him.

"This place used to be a very strict place, and people who aren't qualified to sit at a higher level, even if they touch the next step, they might be thrown out of the light screen. But that was tens of thousands of years ago, if I was here before, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to touch this step, but now, I'm sitting here," the bald man sighed, "Let's not talk about this, I'll first tell you the reason here."

"Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was the holy land of the Dark Church that only the most pious dark worshippers of the continent had the right to worship, a place of inheritance that had existed for countless years," the bald man said in a calm and deep voice.

Dark Church!

From Cohen's memories, Lin Ke knew that the current number one empire in the continent, the strongest power of the human race was established by the Church of Light. He had never heard of the Church of Darkness, but he could tell what was going on just by hearing the name.

The bald man ignored Link's hesitation and continued, "The Dark Church was originally a great power that was able to compete with the Church of Light, but tens of thousands of years ago, ah, I need to explain that I didn't mean to hide anything, but it was too long ago, to the point where even the inheritance of the Dark Church didn't have a clear record of how many tens of thousands of years ago, but in short, it didn't exceed 100,000 years. Tens of thousands of years ago, the world suddenly changed, and the dark believers lost their connection with the Gods. Ever since then, the Dark Church has become my Dark Church. I, on my own, vow to let the Dark Church return to the continent, regain my followers, contact the gods once again, and find glory once again. I worked hard for my whole life like countless sages, but in the end, I only realized that it was just another failure.

"The world has changed. The power of darkness is like a lost child, unable to find a way home …"
