Chapter 73 Mirror Flowers and Moon in the Water

"You really didn't notice me!" Petrus walked towards the stone box with his head held high. "In that case, let me take a good look at what's in this box."

However, does he, who has been paying attention to Lin Hun's every move, really not know what is in the box?

It's all just an excuse.

Petrus walked forward on tiptoe and looked inside the stone box. The light blue soul still emitted a light that could not be ignored even in the dark stone box.

Petrus could not help but reach out his hand towards the soul, but just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly realized his mistake and pulled his hand back.

Kneel down facing the statue and bow your head in prayer.

"Praise the gods. May the gods always protect us. If this sacrifice is left here alone, it will inevitably encounter evil-doers. I hope the goddess can entrust us with such a sacred task of protecting the sacrifice. Praise the gods."

Male clergymen often do not need to kneel down to pray. As a symbol of the church's fighting force responsible for defending the church's honor and maintaining the image of the gods, they often only need to kneel down on one knee to pray.

Petrus was different, he was more "pious", at least on the surface.

He kneeled on his knees every time he prayed, which was why the church was quite satisfied with him and ordered him to come to Lordran.

The gods did not respond and remained silent.

Petrus lowered his head and remained kneeling. He was used to this situation.

The gods have long lost interest in managing the secular world, and even in the church, there are only a few people who can directly contact the gods.

If miracles had not always been effective, the faith in the gods would have been lost long ago.

"What a sin! What a sin! How could I have such a disrespectful thought!"

Petrus slapped himself hard, and his cheek bulged instantly.

"Since the gods have not responded, they must have acquiesced to my prayers as usual!"

Petrus stood up, with a compassionate look on his face, and reached for the soul lump in the stone box with his arms trembling slightly. This time he did not hesitate at all.

The gods have already agreed. Is there anything wrong with helping the gods solve their problems as a priest?

!

“What’s going on!?”

The moment the palm touched the soul lump, it actually went straight through it.

"How can it be!?"

Petrus couldn't suppress his surprise and exclaimed in a low voice. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands and glanced towards the entrance.

Lin Hun and the other person could not see the statue directly from the outside, and Petrus, who was near the statue, naturally could not observe them directly.

There was no movement with my eyes and no sound with my ears.

Petrus' heart slowed down and he slowly pulled his hands apart. This sudden change was so shocking that he couldn't help but do this.

"That's not right! The soul is clearly in the stone box!"

Petrus didn't bother to maintain his demeanor. He knelt in front of the stone box, bent over, half of his body was inside the box, and he looked at it closely with his face.

The light blue light reflected his red eyes in the darkness, making them look vicious and terrifying.

Both the visual sense and the undead's instinctive desire for souls told him that the soul mass was in the stone box.

But I really didn’t touch anything before!

"This has never happened before!"

Petrus hesitated whether to continue helping the gods collect sacrifices, and his arms extended and retracted from time to time.

Now he was so close to the soul lump that he could smell the rich soul fragrance with just a slight sniff.

My stomach was growling uncontrollably at this moment, and the emptiness in my thirsty body that had nowhere to be filled was becoming more and more intense.

While his mind was struggling, his body had already taken honest action and grabbed at the soul lump.

Looking at the momentum and speed, it seemed as if he wanted to crush the lump directly in the wooden box!

Sometimes the body shows what is really in their mind.

"Since I can't get a complete soul block, I will crush it and release the souls inside to absorb. I'm sure the gods will agree to store these souls in my body!"

The messenger of the gods did not understand the true meaning of the gods, and Petrus missed again.

This time he did not retract his hand, but placed it inside the soul lump.

Through the light blue shell, each of his fingers was visible, clear and distinct.

"This soul is clearly here!" Petrus's palms kept contracting and relaxing. When he got closer, he could even feel the soul lingering on his fingertips, but there was a thin film that completely separated the two in space.

This feeling of having it right in his hand but only being able to look at it and not touch it drove him crazy.

“I clearly didn’t intend to take it in its entirety! Why! Why! Why! I still can’t touch it!”

Petrus suddenly clasped his hands together, and fell into a trance, closing and opening them repeatedly.

The air was constantly squeezed in his hands, making a popping sound.

Even at this point, he still remained cautious and restrained himself, not daring to let the two people outside hear any noise.

This was the first time Petrus had lost control of his composure since becoming a priest.

The disappointment of having a mountain of treasure in front of him but not being able to get it was enough to drive this greedy priest into madness.

The blood-red eyeballs suddenly raised up and saw the face of the Virgin Mary above. The blurry eyes seemed to be looking at him.

"Hey!"

Petrus could not help but take a step back, prostrating himself in front of the statue, closing his eyes and repenting in his heart.

"Yes, who else can do this except the gods? Could it be that those lowly fellows can master this miracle that even I don't know about! Yes, this must be the will of the gods."

He narrowed his eyes, glanced in the direction of Lin Hun and the others, and then immediately retracted his eyes.

"What a lucky guy to have stumbled upon a statue with divine power. I guess I need to pay more attention to this statue in the future and serve the gods at all times."

"Don't tell me you didn't hear anything happening in the temple, kid."

Brother Huixin suddenly spoke up to interrupt Lin Hun who was chattering in front of him.

"Of course I found out. I'm not a fool."

Now that they were not in battle and were in a safe place, Lin Hun had taken off his helmet and glanced at Brother Hui Xin. The implication seemed to be, "You have been in the Firelink Shrine for too long, and your brain has aged."

Brother Huixin didn't fully see the charm in Lin Hun's eyes, but he could still feel the strangeness and suspicion hidden in them. Veins bulged on his forehead and formed a "well" shape, but he still asked with gritted teeth.

"Aren't you worried about someone stealing the soul block you offered?"

The pity in Lin Hun's eyes deepened, which made Brother Dixin angry. Without waiting for Lin Hun to rush up, he grabbed his clothes and answered the question with a question.

"Who do I dedicate my soul to?"

"Of course it's the great god."

"I'm asking which god specifically."
