Act XIX

With the sound of rubbing between the stones, the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed open, revealing what it looked like inside.

It was a corpse that had been reduced to bones.

The corpse was dressed in tattered robes, which could be vaguely identified as the red robe of a high-ranking bishop, and the skeleton had a laurel wreath on its head, and it seemed that the owner of the corpse must have been an important figure in the Templars during his lifetime.

Rosen's perception swept over and found that it was the skeleton of a man, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief and had new questions.

"Who is this?"

According to what Rosen knew, the archbishops of the Templars and the bishops of the various Inquisitions would be buried in the cemetery of the Ramirez Grand Church after their deaths, because these bishops themselves are very high in divine skills, even the corpses contain extremely strong powers, and if not properly handled, they are likely to be used by some people with ulterior motives.

And the five archbishops of the Templar and the forty-seven bishops of the Inquisition since the Holy War are all in the cemetery of the Grand Templar, so who will be this one in front of him?

Rosen looked at the text on the coffin again, but could not get any valid information.

"This is a red robe that can only be worn at the bishop level, and this person has at least been the bishop of the Inquisition, but why is he buried here?"

Edlandall immediately recognized the other party's clothes and asked with some confusion.

"Maybe he's the leader of some unknown being in the Templars, like the Inquisitors?"

Rosen speculated that after all, the leader of the Inquisitor did not seem to have come to the fore, and if there was any noble existence that could not be known to the world, the leader of the Inquisitor should be one of them.

However, Irandall shook his head slightly.

"The Inquisitors do not have a unified commander, most of them are fighting separately, and some people have their own armies, but since the existence of this organization, there is no status distinction within the Inquisitors, at most there is a ranking according to strength, but the right to speak is the same, if you really want to say who the leader of the Inquisitors is, then it can only be said that it is the Bishop. ”

Irandall explained, looking at the unidentified skeleton.

"The Inquisitors are supposed to be directly subordinate to the Templars, and in most cases, this means that the Inquisitors are subject to the will of the Archbishop, so in a sense, the Archbishop can be considered the leader of the Inquisitor. ”

Indeed, from the very beginning of the analysis of forces, Elandall said that the Inquisitor should be on the side of Bishop Eldridge, so it seems that the owner of this sarcophagus is much less likely to be the Inquisitor.

"Let's look for any other clues here. ”

Rosen wasn't interested in the mysteries of the Templar's interior, but his instincts told him that there might be a deeper secret behind the corpse, so he decided to investigate a little more.

He first looked from the outside, the side of the sarcophagus is a typical religious pattern, there is nothing special, and the surrounding murals do not show any clues, but the reliefs on the six stone pillars are somewhat special.

"Normally, there is some way of leaving the story of the owner of the tomb in the tomb, and the frescoes here look like the usual canonical content, but there are some differences on the pillars. ”

There is a clear difference in the patterns around the six pillars, from which the order of viewing of the pillars can be deciphered.

On the first pillar, a man is depicted giving a lecture in the middle of the hall, and the people seated underneath are adoring, all wearing the white robes of the Templar priesthood.

On the second pillar, a man in a red robe confronts a man in various colors, and behind him there are also many clergy in white robes.

On the third pillar, the man in red sat alone in the middle of the hall thinking, but around him, black shadows seemed to encircle him.

On the fourth pillar, a tall white tower is being built on a floating island, and the man in red is standing on the ground and looking up.

On the fifth pillar, a group of strange-looking people can be seen being driven by the clergy in white robes and fleeing into the black cavern.

On the sixth pillar, the man in red is also depicted sitting alone in the hall, but the dark shadows around him are gone, only a faint light lingers.

"This pillar is depicted when the Great Church of Ramirez was first built. ”

Irandall said, pointing to one of the pillars with a floating island depicting it.

As for the one next to it, it was clear that it was the Templar fighting a second holy war to drive the ashes out of the main physical plane.

"Is this the scene of the ancient covenant signed?"

Lawson asked, pointing to the second pillar.

Those dressed differently, though a little faded by the age of the pillars, could still tell what appeared to be of different races.

When you think of the Templar meeting with people of other races, and the time before the construction of the Great Templar of Ramirez, then only the ancient covenant can be thought of.

"So, is this priesthood someone who lived a thousand years ago?"

Rosen sensed a strange feeling, a thousand years ago, to be able to become a bishop-level existence, at least above the gold level, and even very likely to have advanced to the legend, then the lifespan is naturally extremely long, unless he dies unexpectedly.

And this hall is full of decay, and the arrangement of the magic just now is also very quaint, obviously a secret room with a certain number of years, so this priest should fall every time after the holy war.

A similar answer can be obtained from the painting on the pillar, the last pillar, the man in red is shrouded in light, which is a very religious picture, usually representing the death of the priest at the grace of the goddess, and only a virtuous being can depict his death in this way.

"Quite possibly, this painting. ”

Irandall pointed to the third painting and continued.

"It is likely that these shadows symbolize the people of Chaos, which correspond to the period of holy war between the establishment of the ancient covenant and the construction of the Great Temple of Ramirez. ”

"And what does the first painting represent?"

When Rosen saw the first picture of the owner of the tomb facing a pile of priestly speeches, he immediately had several ideas, but they were all outrageous, so he decided to ask Irandall first.

"I don't know this, but there must have been many memorable speeches in the history of the Templars, especially during the Holy War, but if they are specially drawn and placed at the front, it shows that they are extremely important speeches. ”

Elandall muttered to himself, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned his head to look at the corpse in the sarcophagus.

"Unless this is the speech that represents the establishment of the Templar?"
