After a short trip to the seaside, Dawn returns to the Divine Domain to continue doing what they have to do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chikage's mood seemed to improve, and at least she was able to lead the rest of the team in training normally.

It's just that she has never forgotten about Jia Luo, but she doesn't know where to find out, so she is naturally very entangled in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month, there is a big event that everyone in the Divine Domain is looking forward to happening at the end of the month, that is, the holy artifact divine contract will be sent to the temple for worship.

After the artifact is recovered from the outside world, it must be tested and repaired to prevent people from tampering with it and to remove the filth that has been contaminated in the human world.

It takes a while to do that, which is why it takes so long.

Moreover, the date of the end of the month was chosen by the high priest and could not be changed by anyone at will.

The High Priest is the oldest and most mysterious figure in the entire divine realm, and he presides over the ritual of purifying the holy artifact and sending it into the temple.

He was respected by everyone but never really appeared in front of everyone, at least not anyone who is alive today has ever seen him in real terms, including the Holy Priest.

Little is known about his past and present, except that he lived in the temple all year round, was cared for by a lady-in-waiting, and guarded the temple without the presence of the holy artifact.

Legend has it that he was the closest person to a god in the world, and in special cases he could communicate with the gods and then deliver oracles to the world.

And when it comes to age, there is no consensus among everyone. Some say he's nearly two hundred years old, others say he's more than two hundred, but no one knows exactly how many.

What is more indisputable is that it has been more than 150 years since he took over as the previous high priest, and he has personally experienced the great war of the Ugly Rebellion more than a hundred years ago, and he is currently the person in the divine domain who knows the disaster best.

With his status and status, he should know a lot of inside stories that ordinary people don't know.

For years, however, he said nothing about it.

In fact, about that war, for some reason, although the historical materials at that time were recorded, they were not clear, resulting in many difficult mysteries in the past 100 years.

For example, the reason for the rebellion of the Lord of the Ugly Face.

At that time, it was only a matter of time before the Holy Division abdicated, so why was the Lord of the Ugly Face so anxious that he could not immediately get the position of the Holy Division and chose to rebel?

If he is really ambitious to this extent, wouldn't it be much easier to endure for two years and slowly find a way to kill the Holy Division than to take the throne by force?

This is what historians are most puzzled about.

It stands to reason that the young man who can be favored by the Holy Division must not only have a power that is difficult for the world to match, but also his intelligence should be outstanding, how can he be so stupid?

Some people speculate that there must be other reasons for this, but there is no doubt that various historical sources are consistent with this statement, and they really cannot imagine and fabricate it out of thin air.

In addition, Ugly Face does not seem to have any intention of seizing the position of the Holy Division after returning, and what he wants most is a holy weapon. So, does the argument for power really hold water?

These issues will certainly be covered in the negotiations between Ugly Face and the Holy Division, but the content of the negotiations is mentioned in the historical sources.

Perhaps because both parties have passed away and no one knows the specific situation, the person who wrote the history book did not dare to write it scribble. However, it cannot be ruled out that they are deliberately obscuring the truth and covering up the facts.

In view of this, the memory of the high priest is very precious and very important. He had been in the temple all the time, and it was likely that he had heard what the two men were saying in the main hall of the temple.

There have been people who are obsessed with getting to the bottom of the matter and have publicly appealed to the high priest to come forward and tell the truth.

But the high priest would not want to, and who would dare to force him. In the end, the matter was resolved in his unwavering silence.

The complete story of the great war that is now circulating in the Divine Domain is actually a patchwork and integration of the examiners based on incomplete information and the personal memories of their predecessors, and it is impossible to distinguish between the true and the false.

It's just that it is recorded in the history books, and no one has come out to clarify it, so everyone identifies it as the truth.

It is also a way of forming a collective consciousness, and it no longer seems to matter what the truth is, what matters is that everyone believes in the same thing.

Of course, the position of the high priest is not shaken by his refusal to meet popular demands. The duties he assumed determined that he had the supreme majesty other than the gods, even more than the Holy Division and the Sanhedrin.

Therefore, when he heard that he would be going to the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain at the end of the month to preside over the Sacred Weapon Purification Ceremony, the entire Divine Domain was very excited.

The younger generation has never seen this ceremony, and they are looking forward to it every day. In particular, it is said that he will receive a special reception and commendation from the Holy Division on that day.

By the thirtieth day, the dawn people were a little unintentionally trained.

The road to the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain has been blocked by the people of the Fifth Legion, and unrelated personnel are not allowed to approach. This creates an excellent excuse for them not to train.

As Araki walked back from the foot of Mt. Mangami, he tentatively said to Chikage, "Deputy Commander, it seems that I can't train today. Why don't we just take a break and go for a stroll in the streets, which will be bustling. ā€

October happily chimed in: "Yes, yes, when I went to the regiment headquarters in the morning, I found that the street had changed, like a festival. Each store has a lot of festive goods and promotions, so why don't you go and have fun together? ā€

Xixia was said to be ready to move, but the playfulness was immediately suppressed by responsibility and timidity, and he waved his hand again and again to object: "No, no, no, how can you go out to play privately during working hours, that is considered absenteeism, and you will be punished if you are found." ā€

October didn't think so: "What are you afraid of, the head of the regiment is estimated to be very busy in the past two days, how can he have spare time to care about us." And the deputy head of the regiment is not with us, and it is also a job for her to lead us to patrol and reconnaise on the streets. So ......"

Speaking of this, she patted Xixia's shoulder and smiled slyly, "Don't be afraid at all, we are just acting under the leadership of the deputy head of the regiment." ā€

"It's too cunning, it's obvious that you are lazy, but you put the blame on the deputy head of the regiment. ā€

I couldn't see October's behavior of shirking responsibility, so he stood up for Chikage.

October turned his head and scolded: "Long-winded." Don't come with us later. ā€

"Why don't I go?" he muttered in a low voice, in fact, he also wanted to go in his heart.

October wants to use Qianying as a shield to evade punishment, how can Qianying, as the deputy head of the regiment, let her use it.

"If you really want to go shopping, it's not impossible. ā€

Chikage stopped and said with a serious expression, "However, I have one condition. ā€

"On what terms?"

The rest of the people looked at her in unison, their eyes eager and cringe, for fear that she would make some harsh demand.
