Chapter 127: Model Priest? Hello old-timers
"Dear Priest Rick, the building in front of you is the Altar of the God of War in this camp. Since I'm not a combat professional, I can't just enter it, so I'm going to send you here. "The Rhys Chamber of Commerce sent it to Revil. The servant who led the way said respectfully as he pointed to the majestic, but not really tall, spacious building not far away.
"Well, okay, then you can go back. By the way, I will bring a message to Master Pat and Steward Fury, thank them for their care along the way, and I will go to meet them on time. Rick listened to the Naris Chamber of Commerce's leading servant, just nodded, let him talk, and sent him back.
The servant agreed, "Yes, Priest Rick, I'll bring your word." Then he turned and walked away quickly.
Rick carefully surveyed the buildings not far in front of him. What catches your eye is a two-storey stone building about five or six meters high, without any floral reliefs. Compared to the several temples and altars of the God of War that Rick had seen before, this God of War Altar located in the camp of the Wise Creatures of the Dead in the Expedition and Purification Advance Camp was not a little simpler.
Looking through the open door more than three meters high, you can see that as soon as you enter the door, you will find a spacious hall, and the center of the hall is the altar of His Royal Highness Kansnir, the god of war. It is impossible to see whether there is a skylight open at the zenith, but above the altar, in addition to the "Divine Fire of Faith" under the Temple of the God of War, there are also many candlesticks that are also lit, thus bringing a warm glow to this gloomy space. Behind this altar, you can faintly see the stairs up to the second floor and the doors of several small rooms, which should be the usual living place of the priest on duty at this altar.
Seeing this, Rick is no longer looking at the details of the altar building. After making a gesture to go, he led the steel horn and the earless straight to the open gate more than three meters high.
No sooner had Rick and his party walked through the open door than they heard a low, somewhat sharp lingua franca question: "Hiss, who are you?" Are you here to pray to His Holiness the Great God of War? ”
When Rick and the others heard the questioning, they turned their faces and turned to look to the right hand side from which the questioning came. Through the light in the altar, Rick and the three saw that inside the altar door, on the right hand, there was a low stone table more than one meter long and half a meter wide, and behind the table, there was a person sitting cross-legged. There was a spread book on the table. Obviously, this person was reading the book on the table just now, and Rick and his party entered the door of the God of War altar, and the sound of footsteps caught his attention, and he opened his mouth to ask the identity of Rick and the others.
Rick turned around and saw the altar gatekeeper sitting cross-legged behind the low table reading a book, about to answer his question, but the man was suddenly much taller. It's as if a person sitting on the ground suddenly stands up straight. Rick just saw that the man was suddenly much taller, and thought, "When I turned around just now, I clearly saw that the man was sitting cross-legged behind a low table, and if you want to stand up straight, the kung fu on your legs is not bad." ”
The next moment, Rick knew that he was wrong, it wasn't that he had a lot of work on his legs, but that he only had one leg. Well, not a leg, but a tail. The man was from the 'Medusa Serpents' clan of the Orc Empire, with no legs and only a thick, strong tail. It's just that the upper body is exactly the same as the upper body of an ordinary human race.
Rick knew that the Medusa snake man must have seen the priestly badge on his chest, so he straightened up sharply.
Sure enough, before Rick could speak, the Medusa snake man spoke quickly again: "Hiss, I beg your pardon, Venerable Priest of the God of War, I didn't see your arrival clearly. I didn't receive a notice from the God of War Temple on the mainland, so I beg your forgiveness for any neglect. Sizzle. ”
Rick looked at the Medusa snake man. Seeing that he was also wearing a robe, it was obvious that it was an apprentice's robe worn by priests' apprentices. The badge on the chest is naturally also the badge of the probationary priest. It's just that, looking at the bulging underside of his robe, he should also be wearing a suit of armor. Rick nodded, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Medusa snake man is not only the status of a priest's apprentice, but also has a warrior level. ”
"You were reading a book?"
"Hiss, yes, Lord Priest."
"Well, what book are you reading?"
"Hiss, I'm reading the book "Detailed Explanation of Advanced Meditation and Prayer for Priest Apprentices."
"Hmm." Rick didn't say anything about the Medusa Serpent Priest apprentice reading the book when he looked at the door, but just introduced himself straight to the point.
"I'm a model, and my name is Rick. Challus, traveling through the time of trials. I'm here to complete a private mercenary mission. First of all, he had to pay homage to the altar under the temple of the god of war, and then he also asked to see the priests who were on duty here. Please go and let me know. ”
"Hiss, all right, honorable Rick. Priest Challus, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Putons. Lord Priest Clans, his old man is the presiding priest here. ”
"Well, okay, there you go." After Rick finished speaking, he turned to the side of the altar, walked to the front of the altar step by step with the steel horns and ears that had not said a word, and then followed the rules of the worship and prayer ceremony he had learned to worship the emblem of the God of War on the altar.
The Medusa snake man saw that Rick went straight to the altar to pay his respects, so he saluted Rick, and then swam straight to the stairs behind the altar. Look like you go to the second floor and look to that Putons. Lord Priest Crane reported.
After Rick finished worshipping at the altar according to the rules, he meditated for a while next to the altar before he heard the sound of the door opening and closing again on the second floor behind the altar. Rick withdrew from shallow meditation and slowly opened his eyes. Then, I heard a very heavy, but somewhat slow footsteps, mixed with the sound of "bang, bang, bang" heavy objects. Rick poked his head out a little strangely, and saw a huge figure coming straight for him.
When the figure walked up to him, Rick saw who it was. But he is also a priest of the god of war of the model clan wearing a black priest's robe.
Rick looked at the priest of the god of war of the model clan in front of him, and said in his heart: "This priest's robe must be specially customized. "You must know that the people of the model family that Rick has seen, including Rick himself, are all no more than one and a half meters tall, with a body width of up to one meter, and a back thickness and back shell that are no more than half a meter, looking a little short and fat. Kerrick's eyes were the model priest of the god of war, Putons. Crans's predecessor is a model priest with a huge body that is definitely more than two meters tall and nearly two meters wide. As for the thick back, Rick looked at this Putons. Clarence had a high bulging back shell on his back, well, still don't talk about him.
"You're Rick. Priest Challus, right? "That Putons. Although Priest Crane was condescending, his voice was very kind.
"Yes, come to think of it, you're Putons. Clans Priest old-timer. Hello. ”
"Well, yes, I'm Putons. Priest of Clans. I guess it was the little snake from Pukuster who mentioned me. ”
"Yes, senior, it was the Medusa snake man who told me that you are the presiding priest of this altar under the Temple of the God of War."
"Hmm. Rick. Priest Challus, I don't know who your mentor is? Can you tell me about the purpose of coming here? ”
"Putons senior, my mentor is Andoo. Clarence in the blue robe of the Priestess. I'm here to complete a mercenary mission that I have personally acquired. ”
As soon as Rick finished speaking, the Putons senior let out a low cry, "What? Andu. Did that guy Krans actually advance to the blue-robed battle priest? The apprentices who received them have actually advanced to the official black-robed priests. Really, really. We haven't seen each other in just 20 years. ”
Then, looking at Rick with an even more amiable look. This look reminded Rick of the eyes of the weird Shu millet who abducted little Lori to see the goldfish in his previous life when he watched TV and movies.
Before Rick could react to that look, the senior of Putons slapped Rick's shoulder with a palm, Rao is Rick's strength has increased a lot after he advanced, but he was also shaken. Then I heard the Putons senior say: "Little Rick, your mentor Andu and I are a group of people who came out of the shell, and they have advanced together to become official black-robed priests, but we have a good relationship. I'm older than him, so you can call me uncle. ”
Rick looked at the larger figure of Priest Putons, and said very wisely, "Hello, uncle. ”
