Chapter 459: The Last Priest

"Old God - Earth-Shaking Worm?"

Hearing this God, Xia De was quite surprised, because he had actually heard of this Old God.

The Old God 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 also had another very well-known title, which was the "God of Earthquakes." Unlike the Old God "Dust World Python" related to sand, dust, and soil that the doctor had mentioned before, the main power of the Old God "Earth-Shaking Worm" was earthquakes.

Xia De had once seen in his textbook that in the old era when civilization was not enlightened, once an earthquake occurred, the local people would find the believers of this God to organize large-scale prayer and sacrificial activities.

But this Old God had already gone far away, and like Xia De's acquaintance 【Innocent Creator】, he left in the Fifth Era. And 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 was not a good God; this was a real evil God, and when performing sacrifices to soothe the "anger of the earth," living sacrifices were required.

Xia De took a look at the kind old man in front of him. She looked very different from those mermen who also worshipped evil gods.

"Not only the last member of the cult, I think I am also the last generation of priests."

The old lady shook her head with a smile, and Miss Aurora also responded with a smile:

"The purpose of our coming this time has also been made clear in the letter. It is this one, Hamilton..."

She pointed to Xia De, who was holding the cat:

"I want him to feel the power of that great one you believe in."

"Oh, young people from the city, they all look pretty good."

The old man praised Xia De's appearance, and then reached out and grabbed his hand, nodding after a while:

"No problem, he and the power of my Lord do not conflict."

Ring Warlocks cannot master any spiritual rune at will. Conflicts with their core spiritual rune and the characteristics of their soul may lead to rejection of certain spiritual runes.

Mrs. Ilar probably used some kind of divine art to confirm Xia De's affinity for the power of the Old God 【Earth-Shaking Worm】. This kind of divine art was very common, and the Orthodox Church also had similar divine arts, used to confirm whether they were suitable for learning divine arts when cultivating Ring Warlocks.

"Very good, I can feel that Mr. Hamilton is very suitable to become a priest of the God. If he had appeared fifty years earlier, I would have said anything to let him join the cult."

"Oh, that won't do."

The witch still maintained that kind of smile:

"Mr. Hamilton is my person."

"That's a pity."

The old man shook her head, and the two maids also finally boiled the hot water and started pouring tea for the three. The maids washed the teacups, but there were still stubborn yellow stain marks on the surface of the teacups. Xia De noticed that Miss Aurora didn't even touch that cup of tea, so he just picked it up symbolically and didn't drink it.

In the subsequent chat, Xia De also confirmed that his understanding was not wrong. Mrs. Ilar was the last believer of the Old God - 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 who had long gone away, at least for the cult, she was the last believer.

As the last priest and keeper of secrets, she was responsible for looking after the cult's property and knowledge. Because it was almost impossible to find new believers, and she was not at ease leaving the position of priest to strangers, she decided to end the history of the entire cult in her generation.

Miss Aurora met her five years ago, and after consideration, Mrs. Ilar decided to leave the cult's property and secrets to this powerful witch.

Besides helping to look after the temple and those murals recording the cult's history, and not letting strangers break in and destroy them, the old man did not make any other requests to the witch. She believed that rather than letting those properties be buried deep underground and those knowledge be sealed forever, it was better to let more powerful Ring Warlocks obtain them and inherit the power of the cult.

This could also be considered an alternative way to let the history of the cult continue.

And for the witch, this was equivalent to obtaining a large sum of property and all the knowledge and secrets of a cult for nothing after the old man in front of her died.

Xia De was very envious of Miss Aurora's encounter.

After chatting for a few more sentences, the old man confirmed that what Xia De wanted to obtain was the 【Vibration】 spiritual rune, and after briefly asking some of his views on "earthquakes," she told Xia De that they were going to the ancient temple.

The true temple of the God of Earthquakes was underground, and the specific location was underground in the ruins outside Hekils Town.

The ruins of Hekils Town were established by the worm cult in the early days of the Sixth Era. When the Draerion Kingdom's archaeological team came to investigate decades ago, Mrs. Ilar had also served as a guide. When she talked about that incident, she happily showed Xia De and the witch the photos taken at that time, and Xia De actually saw the figure of his acquaintance, Professor Manning, who lived in Cat Tail Alley in the Tobesk University District, in the photos.

Professor Manning looked less old decades ago than he did now, and he and his companions stood together, leaning on shovels and smiling foolishly at the camera. And Mrs. Ilar, who was also young at that time, looked younger than she did now, at least she didn't use a cane in the photos and could stand there to take pictures herself.

And when she heard that Xia De actually knew the person in the photos, the old man actually took out all the photos related to that archaeological activity from the photo album and handed them to Xia De:

"Send these to your friend."

This was simple for Xia De, but Xia De asked hesitantly:

"Don't you want to keep them? These are memories."

"Memories are here, not in the photos."

The old man smiled kindly, pointing to her head, and then said again:

"After I die, these photos will probably be thrown away as garbage. Rather than that, it's better to give them to someone who can properly keep them."

Miss Aurora winked at Xia De, and Xia De then took the photos:

"Okay, I will send them to Professor Manning. I think when the professor sees these photos and recalls the experience in this town, he will also be very happy."

Mrs. Ilar opened her mouth and laughed, revealing a row of yellow teeth that were about to fall out.

The Gods who had gone far away still had believers in the material world, and Xia De could not understand what kind of feelings these believers held to continue to believe in the Gods.

He had seen the last believer of the Old God 【Innocent Creator】, but the other party turned into an angel and flew away on the spot. And Mrs. Ilar faced a worse situation. When Ms. Gina Angela Sewell decided to close the underground ruins in Tobesk, she had at least two companions by her side, while Mrs. Ilar only had herself.

But she at least didn't look sad or unable to accept it because of this. After chatting with Xia De and Miss Aurora for a while, she got up and led them to the ruins.

There was no taxi carriage system in the town, so the group walked. Fortunately, the town was not big, and the ruins were not far from the town. ===== CHAPTER 460 =====
