It wasn't until Oss disappeared from sight that the old man sat down at the desk again, pondered for a while, stretched out his right index finger, and slowly carved an invisible cumbersome pattern in the void in front of him, and finally focused on the center of the pattern, and suddenly burst out of white light from his fingertips, spreading, and the whole pattern was clearly visible, which was a magic circle composed of lines. The circle erupted, and the whole room became illusory, cutting off everything.

The old man slowly opened an old, yellowed blank piece of parchment, picked up a quill pen, and wrote a line on it.

"We've met"

As soon as the word was written, it disappeared automatically, as if it had never been written. After waiting for a moment, a line of words slowly appeared from the parchment, just one stroke at a time, coherently, like an invisible person writing on the parchment at the moment.

"How?"

When all the words were revealed, they disappeared again, and just like that, the old man alternated with someone in the void.

"A very nice boy, discreet like his father and witty like his mother. ”

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about that"

"My opinion is that it can be opened, and many things that our previous speculation may be true"

"You should be well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and I hope that the conclusion you give is not just a possibility, what we need is a definite result. ”

The tone of the person on the other side of the parchment was obviously slightly dissatisfied, but the old man was not affected in the slightest, and then put pen to paper.

"For more than 3,000 years, more than ten generations of sages in our Holy Punishment Hall have gone from being convinced to doubting and then to actively exploring, which is already telling. The old man paused, then wrote, "Moreover, the discoveries in the ancient ruins correspondingly confirm our judgment. ”

It may have been that the old man's words had moved the person on the other side of the parchment, and he paused for a moment this time, presumably carefully phrasing. After a while, a line of words continued to appear on the parchment.

But the first sentence of the opening verse of the Bible clearly states that light will create the world, and holy punishment will destroy the world. This is the general outline of the doctrine of the Holy Religion, the faith of hundreds of millions of believers. Our choice may determine the ownership of theocracy, or even the rise or fall of the whole world, so we have to be cautious!"

"Actually, I thought about one thing recently"

"What's the matter?"

"We should believe in St. Peter, who is the closest to the truth... People!"

Silence, long silence. The old man waited, knowing that the other side was thinking about his speculation.

Sure enough, he waited for a reply from the other side.

"I will issue a holy punishment order, and this choice will be voted on by the five of us consuls. ”

The old man slowly put away the parchment, his face seemed calm, but in fact his heart was turbulent, he stood up, walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a heavy book in an inconspicuous corner, and after opening it, the old man found the worn-out paper, on which he recorded the words he did not know how many times he had read.

Gods, demons, heroes, mortals. Everything is like the stars hanging high in the starry sky, there are light and dark, like swimming fish in the long river of fate, wandering in ignorance. The eternal starry sky is deep and far. The unpredictable fate has long been predestined. At some point, he will come out of the dark hell with blood, and under the guidance of the power of light, he will be reborn from his shell, and he will bring all living beings to devout faith, punish and destroy demons, and the holy kingdom will come to the world.

It was Peter Peter.

The opening chapter of the Holy Religion "Bible" is the Holy Punishment to destroy the world, but on this piece of paper it is written Holy Punishment to destroy demons.

Where does the devil come from?

Towards evening, richly decorated carriages drove into the Rose Manor in the setting sun. The coat of arms carved on the carriage covers most of the nobility of Gothic City. Viscount Renan, whose family coat of arms is a silver wolf, Baron Joseph, whose coat of arms on the carriage is a lily. The arrival of a magnificent carriage drawn by two Holstein horses caused an exclamation among the surrounding nobles, and even those who were not familiar with the history of the development of the Holy Empire's insignia could immediately and accurately call out the illustrious name "Galliani" when they saw the golden bear carved on the carriage, because it was one of the twelve golden families of the Empire. Of course, it is impossible for the small Ernst family to attract the attention of that great family, so it must be one of the branches of the Galliani family in Ilan County who arrived in the carriage, and the nobles who reacted did not reduce their enthusiasm, the current head of the Gariani family branch in Ilan County is Count Pilsen, and at the same time, he is also a magician, although it will certainly not be Count Pilsen himself in the carriage, but if he can have contact with such a family member and establish a certain connection, then his status in Gothic City will definitely be improved by a few steps。

Just when everyone was secretly sighing at the high standard of this dinner, a simple carriage came slowly, the carriage did not have any decorative items, nor did it carve any family crests, but the statues of the gods of light on both sides made all the nobles get out of the way and salute sideways. In Gothic City, all the nobles knew this modest carriage without any markings, because it was the seat of the High Priest of Emerd.

Inside the carriage, Oss saw everything through the curtain of the white sand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the Holy Empire, it was indeed divine power that was greater than everything.

Oss was observing the situation outside the carriage, but Aimed was watching Oss with interest, and when he saw that Oss was quite emotional, the high priest laughed.

"How does it feel to be respectfully saluted by everyone?"

Hearing Emed's sudden words, Oss immediately withdrew his gaze from the carriage and pretended to be well-behaved.

"They are not praying to me, they are honoring you, the High Priest. ”

Ahmed was noncommittal, but his words were reassuring.

"You're very smart, and I think the conversation between us should be simple and straightforward, so we don't need to be foggy and secretive. Because I am the Archon of Gothic City, these usually high-ranking landlords and nobles will bow down to my carriage like this, these are not my personal glory, but the divine power of the God of Light. Of course, I know that you are yearning for the power of theocracy, and it will not be long before they do the same to you. Os, I am ready to report the miracle of your resurrection from the dead, and support your candidacy for God's Favor. I will bring you to today's dinner, first, to introduce you to the nobles of Gothic City, and to announce this miraculous event. The second is that I have approved the promotion of you to the Great Auxiliary Priest, the sixteen-year-old Great Auxiliary Priest, this is the youngest in the history of our Gothic City, and your future future is limitless. ”

Before that, Oss had predicted the matter of the Divine Favor, but he was very surprised to promote himself to the rank of High Auxiliary Priest, as Emmed said, he would be the youngest High Auxiliary Priest in the history of Gothic City, and at the same time, he would also be the best in age in the entire Holy Empire High Auxiliary Priest. As far as Osborne is concerned, he needs to keep a low profile at the moment, but it is inevitable that he will run for God's favor, because since Emmed has made a statement, he will definitely choose to maximize his own interests. But the title of the youngest Daisuke, Oss really doesn't want to wear it, it's too eye-catching. If you don't have the strength to do it, but you enjoy the glory, those hidden jealousies will pull you into the abyss when you slack and swell. Even though things didn't go his way, he chose to accept it, and at the moment he simply didn't have the strength to refuse High Priest Emerd.

"High Priest, I have no achievements or merits at all, but you value me so much, and give me such an important position, I am very afraid. All of this should be attributed to your guidance to the believers of the entire Gothic City, and it is my sincere faith that can make the eyes of the God of Light look at our Gothic City, and it is because of this that I am fortunate to be favored by the God of Light. ”

Perhaps it was Oss's good faith in accepting his arrangement, and Ahmed looked relieved, and his tone became more cordial.

"Os, you have shown the world that you deserve your devotion and devotion to the God of Light. ”

Ahmed's tone was slightly aggravated when he said the word loyalty, not very obvious, Oss understood, and kept nodding yes, but he didn't deliberately express his allegiance. It's too much, Oss still knows this truth, today is the first time we met, some things are not spoken, and the effect will be better than after saying it.

Everything is so harmonious, friendly, and even so tacit understanding, the two of them are tacit.

The entrance to the estate is not far from where the dinner will be held, and it takes a long time to reach the destination. The carriage stopped, and Emmed stepped out of the carriage first, and Oss immediately followed him, leading the housekeeper into the manor. Walking through the famous Rose Corridor, the Glory Hall, the banquet hall where tonight's dinner was held, came into view. The two rows of tall and sexy maids standing at the entrance of the hall were obviously carefully selected, they smiled, bowed respectfully, and wore maid clothes with very low and wide necklines, and the dazzling and towering white greasy entered the eyes of the guests, but they did not hide it until the two of them entered the Hall of Glory and stood up straight to greet the other nobles.

The owner of the estate, Viscount Fernando Ernst, was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a noble and ornate evening gown in the cro hai-style style and a rose badge on his chest. He didn't greet High Priest Elmud outside the manor when he attended his dinner, as other local nobles of Gothic City did, he just waited quietly in the Hall of Glory.

The Ernst family is one of the oldest aristocrats in Gothic City, with deep pockets and a private armed force of more than 500 people, and the whole family has a very important position in the Gothic City Senate, he himself is the president of the Gothic City Senate, and he is also Emed's biggest ally in Gothic City, the biggest financial supporter. But these were not the reasons why he could not grovel to the theocracy, he could only do so because his godfather was a metropolitan, a priest who had been in charge of Perris County for eight years, and who would be promoted to a cardinal in two years!
