C29 Stone of Inheritance

Linke was secretly vigilant, but this vigilance appeared to be quite weak.

Very quickly, he lost himself in the temptation of that endless voice.

He really enjoyed this feeling.

If there were any powerhouses from the Spirit Domain here, they would even be able to feel that his strength was rapidly retreating. At this moment, however, he was staring unwaveringly at Lin Ke who was walking step by step towards the altar, he saw a pure black line come out from the stone. It drew a beautiful arc in the air before entering Lin Ke's head, and then Lin Ke walked away even faster.

The bald man's heart tightened, he had indeed lied. In his long life before Linke, he had arranged for more than ten similar inheritances to be passed on, but the ones who could bear it all, without exception, had their heads blown off by the black lines while walking towards the altar. The dark church's Pope's Inheritance, had always been the most dangerous thing, and many of the elders who held high positions in the church many years ago would all refuse to use their own descendants to pass on their inheritances, even if the successful child would become the candidate to be the next Pope.

This was the last chance of his life, and he had to succeed, or else he would become the biggest sinner in the history of the Church.

This caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, stunning the bald man who was closely watching everything. He did not know if he had experienced such a strange scene when he was receiving the inheritance back then, but even after a thousand years, he could still clearly remember what had happened back then, and everything seemed abnormally calm. It was as if he had slept, and when he woke up, he already had the power of a dual-element mage.

Lin Ke's trembling became more and more intense. His two arms shook violently, but he still steadily and slowly approached his own head, then firmly pressed them to his temples. "Ah!" Through his pair of eyes, he could vaguely see the altar that was just inches away from him. He could also see the blurry black stone that was still quietly floating in the air. His originally chaotic mind gradually recalled what had happened, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

The bald man saw the black thread connecting the stone to Link suddenly disappear, while Link's body no longer trembled. He watched as he slowly walked up the altar!

This was something that had never happened in hundreds and thousands of years. For countless years, even those who had built this altar had not stepped onto it, and the reason was because of that black stone that inexplicably flew from the sky when the altar was first used for prayer.

The bald man was shocked. He wanted to interrupt Link's action, but he was worried that something might happen. He opened his eyes wide, knowing that he might be able to witness an event that could change history. At the very least, this event could change the history of the Dark Church.

Time seemed to have slowed down.

Lin Ke walked up the steps to the altar step by step. His steps were extremely slow. Then, he slowly raised his hand and approached, touching!

At that moment, the entire space seemed to tremble, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if nothing had changed. When the bald man whose strength had already fallen back to the Spirit Cleansing Realm realized what had happened, he couldn't help but freeze on the spot.

On the altar, the black stone had disappeared!

As for Link, he just stood there in a daze!

A strong energy storm began with Link as the center!

However, the bald man didn't seem to care at all. To him, that level of undulation was almost negligible. He only stared at the altar, staring blankly at the spot where the black stone disappeared, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

The inheritance treasure.

Gone.

He was shocked. He did not know if this was a blessing or a curse for the Church of Darkness that had been passed down for countless years.

He looked at the boy who was still standing quietly on the altar with both unease and anger. His mood was extremely complicated.

However, he did nothing in the end.

Because he was going to die.

He had to hand over the inheritance of the Dark Church to this person.

Because from now on, besides the boy in front of him and himself, the Church of Darkness might not have a Pope anymore …

Rincewind felt as if he were in a strange dream.

He dreamt that he was in an endless darkness. The darkness did not bring him fear or unknown, but warmth and comfort, much like the hands of his mother in his previous life.

She shaped herself with her hands and raised herself with them.

He experienced all of this in a muddled state, and his heart was filled with peace.

He once again forgot about the outside world and focused on experiencing the darkness.

Mysterious endless but fascinating darkness.

The source of that tremendous power.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Linke opened his eyes.

Everything made sense.

He had it!

At the top floor of the central hall.

No matter how turbulent the outside world was, it would not bring any noise to this place.

"This is probably the most unexpected inheritance of the Dark Church in countless years," the bald man said to Link, who was slowly walking toward him. His tone was very complicated, "I'm not sure if this will be the start of another era for the Dark Church."

"But I think you should try to gamble, bet that I can inherit the will of the dark church that has been passed down for countless years, bet that I can bring the dark church glory that will last for tens of thousands of years with the approval of the inheritance stone," Lin Ke calmly stared at the bald man, but his heart was not at peace. How could he not be worried that the other party would kill him and take back the strange stone in his spirit space?

"I lost the bet," the bald man said, his expression becoming unfathomable once more. "If I lose the bet, the countless years of the dark church's inheritance will fall into my hands?!"

Only now did Link know that this bald man's name was Wendell, he saluted and expressed his courtesy, "Even if you kill me now and take out that stone, it won't change the fate of the Dark Church. If you bet on me instead, you might really win, at that time, you will really become the most important person in the new two eras, moreover," Linke said in a casual tone, "You probably can't be sure that after killing me, the stone will not obediently return to the altar, right? It's so magical. "

"Although I have never been a gambler, I have no choice but to gamble for the last moment of my life. This is so much that even I can't believe it myself, let's go, the new Holy Emperor, I think I can only give you half an hour to loot the treasury, half an hour later I have to send you away," Wendell revealed a mocking smile, "I forgot to tell you, if you want to activate that huge teleportation formation, you need not have strength at least in the Spirit Realm. In other words, when I send you back to the periphery of the storm, you will never be able to return here."

Link didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly quickened his pace.

On one hand, he clearly felt how powerful he was after having his wind-type energy reserves explode by several times. On the other hand, the dark energy in the depths of his soul that was even greater than the wind-type energy gave him a kind of absurd yet enticing feeling.

No matter what, a sudden increase in strength was a good thing. He couldn't help but think that if he were to fight against Daly from before, the battle would probably become a battle without suspense.

At this moment, he just so happened to smile as he looked at the Lin Ke who had a painful expression on his face, revealing a rare hint of gentleness. "Remember, never let a person from the Church of Light understand you too much, no matter how trustworthy he seems, how light and darkness can never coexist, this is the biggest rule in the world, and also the last piece of advice I want to give you, because I used my life to prove its authenticity." Wendell's tone was very gentle, "I've only been with you for a short period of time, but I'm afraid that you've already been together with me for too long and too long time. In the end, that only friend of mine decided to take my life, haha, at this moment, I started nagging, "he shook his head, feeling a little bored, he stretched out his finger to touch the ring on Lin Ke's right middle finger," It can guide you to those chess pieces that I have placed everywhere in the continent all these years, when they are within a hundred meters of you, you will feel it. Many of them should have been secretly exterminated by the Church of Light, but some of the more well-hidden ones were definitely still alive. Those who were able to survive the purge that affected the entire continent would definitely be elites. I will not tell you who they are. I hope that all of them will be freed with my death, but you can try to find them.

"It could also be an existence used by the Church of Light to fish, right?" Linke asked, puzzled.

"No," Wendell shook his head, "The Church of Light and the Dark Church have been enemies for too many years, they understand us too well, and I understand them too well, they know that I won't be able to live for long, and in this short period of time, those people who can only use their eyes to look at the sky won't believe that a new heir has appeared. Maybe they are currently celebrating the defeat of the Dark Church on that famous sacred mountain, haha," he laughed very happily, "An enemy hidden in the darkness is the scariest one, you have to learn how to endure."

Linke nodded.

"It was originally a mixed blood horse with a thin dragon bloodline hidden inside its body. I only stimulated that strong dragon bloodline, maybe it can be considered a sub-dragon species, but the dragon bloodline is too shallow. Treat it well, maybe it will give you some other surprises."

"Can it grow a pair of wings?" Lin Ke looked at the dark horse in pleasant surprise.

However, the bald Wendell immediately dispelled his passionate laughter and ridiculed, "Don't tell me you still expect this horse to return to its ancestors and become a dragon? "Don't even think about it, I only said that it might be able to become a decent mount."

Lin Ke shook his head speechlessly and no longer spoke.

Wendell smiled indifferently. "You want to become a real Dragon Knight?"

"Everyone wants to," Lin Ke giggled.

"Alright," Wendell looked to the east, past the stormy sea, where the legendary dragon island lies, "Work hard and head in that direction. Maybe one day, you will be able to reappear in the glory of the Dark Church, and let the dragons become the magical beasts guarding the gate!"

"Alright, I don't have much time left. Farewell. My child, head towards the end of the ambition in your heart! The scenery there must be very good! " Following Wendell's words, the entire teleportation portal began to emit a strong light. Rinkey had no choice but to cover his eyes with his hand. He saw Wendell nod at him with a smile, and a little light disappeared into the forehead of Lily who was lying quietly beside him.

The light suddenly lit up and disappeared in a flash. The only thing left behind on the teleportation formation was an old man who looked like a withered flower.

He slowly turned around and walked towards the central hall, but did not enter. He only sat down at the entrance of the hall, leaning against the wall as he looked in the direction of the teleportation formation.

He heard the child call him at the last moment.

He called him teacher.
