Chapter 455: Three Mysterious Men (Fourth Watch)
Ikyu had just woken up, and in the temple of the Grand Priest of Magnolia, thousands of miles away, Priest Mark Blom was standing in the altar with his hands and a gloomy face, the flame of the gods beating in front of him.
Since the establishment of the temple, this flame has been enshrined high on the altar like other priest temples in China, and as the embodiment of the god of fire, it has long been worshiped and worshiped by thousands of believers.
But this flame has not reacted at all for thousands of years, sometimes mini, sometimes dark, and even has the potential to dry up in the past hundred years.
But just a few dozen days ago, the flame suddenly came back to life, and under the witness of Priest Mark Blom, it grew from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist, and the trend is still rising.
Priest Mark Blom was surprised to find that this flame was very different from before, in addition to the size and intensity of the fire, Priest Mark Blom used the inheritance ball in his hand to be able to make a faint connection with this flame like a priest for thousands of years.
And most importantly, Priest Mark Blom could still feel a very slight mental fluctuation from this group of flames from time to time.
But the mental fluctuations here, although they are small, every time Mark Blom senses them, in the face of this spiritual fluctuation, they are as sullen as if there were ten thousand mountains pressing on his chest, and he can't breathe at all.
According to the records of ancient books, Priest Mark Blom knew that the spiritual fluctuations of this wisp of life were actually the spiritual fluctuations of the god of fire, who had long disappeared in the long river of fate, and re-descended to the world to communicate with his followers.
After receiving the news, Priest Mark Blom was extremely excited, but in addition to the excitement, he was worried.
He was worried about when the specific time of the return of the Fire God would be, and whether the strong rise of Yixiu and the Golden Cicada Temple would affect the time of the return of the Fire God.
After all, as a shrine, the worship of believers is very important, but because of Ikyu, there are now some people in Japan who have converted to faith and believe in Buddhism.
And this wave of re-investment trend did not disappear with the tranquility of the Golden Cicada Temple or the public's field of vision, but intensified.
According to the report, Priest Mark Blom has obtained an important data, that is, in the last few days, a large number of floating people in the city, including the entire Magnolia fiefdom, are moving towards the Golden Cicada fiefdom under the jurisdiction of Yixiu.
And this is one of them, there are also reports on different technologies in major regions of the country, showing that the fifth-class and fourth-class people in their territory have also lost to varying degrees, and they are all converging towards the golden cicada fiefdom.
Originally, this was a good thing for Priest Mark Blom, after all, the more people in the entire Magnolia fiefdom and the more believers, it meant that it had a higher status in front of priests of the same level.
But the problem is that these people are not coming for him at all, but for Yixiu.
This can be seen how influential Ikyu is now, although he has not always stood in the public eye, but since the last time Ikyu made a big move.
The so-called Atlantean aristocracy, the law of kings, the caste system, seems to have been 100% convinced and enforced by them before, and now it is beginning to waver.
In this case, the first will affect the situation in the entire country, and the second is the loss of believers, and it is very likely that in the near future, the power of the god of fire will collapse due to the rise of Ikkyu.
A cold sweat broke out behind the back of Priest Mark Blom at the thought of this.
At this time, there was a believer in the audience who was groveling and holding a piece of paper, bowing his head in fear, staring intently at the contents of the paper, and chanting.
"King, respect, Priest Mark Blom, so that Priest Mark Blom is not allowed to interfere, a rest and related matters of the Golden Cicada Temple, and if the Buddhist forces represented by the Golden Cicada Temple come to the Grand Duke City to apply for official naturalization, it will be passed immediately, and no extraneous branches must be made. ”
When Priest Mark Blom heard this, because he was carrying everyone behind his back, the crowd could not see that his expression was extremely distorted, and if it was seen by others, he would definitely accuse him of contempt for the king.
But this is the Temple of Priests, and Priest Mark Blom is the boss here, and who has the guts to do that.
Of course, Priest Mark Blom still had to follow the rules, slowly walked down to the bottom of the steps, took the paper brought by the messenger with both hands, and said.
"Go and send me a palindrome, and I'll say that Priest Mark Blom knows. ”
"Yes", the messenger quickly replied and immediately withdrew from the altar.
And at this time, although there were about 100 people in the audience, there were six divine apostles, and the rest were servants with divine powers.
However, more than 100 people did not make a sound, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard, I don't want to think about who helped you finish this country, it's us, it's us, you're such a bastard, it's really interesting to think about letting a Buddhist compete with us for believers, hehe. ”
Priest Mark Blom tore up the one with the King's will that the messenger had brought him, and then cursed and cursed a long list of words.
But the more than 100 people present were like blind men, feeling that Priest Mark Blom had never said such a rebellious thing, and they had never heard it, and they all turned a deaf ear, and when Priest Mark Blom had finished scolding, they were relieved.
It was at this time that another messenger came running in and handed a letter sealed in beeswax to Priest Mark Blom.
Priest Mark Blom didn't reach out to take it at first, but when he saw that it was written on the cover, the royal capital fire sacred temple, Priest Mark Blom's eyes burst into flames, snatched the letter from the messenger's hand one by one, and began to read it.
I saw that it was written:
Holy Priest of the Fire Holy Temple of the National Capital, Priest of Honor, Priest Mark Blom,
As far as I know, the Golden Cicada Temple has received a special letter from the Grand Duke of Magnolia a few days ago, and will go to you in the near future to obtain a legal identity, I hope you will solve the problem as soon as possible, if it can be done, the position of the next holy priest will be left with you in the future. ”
Priest Mark Blom, who looked a little wrong at first, frowned, and when he saw the end, he excitedly buttoned the note in his hand and laughed out loud.
"Holy Priest, you are finally wise, ask me to do things for you, don't worry! I will definitely help you do it, your position will be mine in the future."
As he spoke, three figures appeared outside the altar, and they came and went without a trace, but in the daytime they were like ghosts, and suddenly appeared without anyone noticing.
Moreover, the three of them were all dressed in big black robes, and they kept their heads down, so they couldn't see their faces clearly from a normal angle.
But if you look down from the bottom and look up from the bottom, people may see three terrifying faces in front of them.
Because the faces of these three people can't be called faces at all, they are still three skeletons, without skin and flesh, and there are only two green fires burning in their eye sockets, which are obviously daytime, but they look extremely weird.
After these three people appeared, Priest Mark Blom immediately felt the existence of these three people, but this kind of induction was very slight, fleeting.
Therefore, Priest Mark Blom judged according to the strength of his five-star priesthood, and he could not detect it, and even if he could detect it, he would not know where the direction was, and he would definitely be much stronger than his own strength, or the best of the five-star priests, or six-star.
But the problem is that according to the current official information, there is only one six-star priest in the Hehuo Country, and that person is the holy priest of this country, except for him, no one has this strength.
But what if? Priest Mark Blom thought of this, and his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts.
At this time, the three black-robed men ghostly appeared on the altar.
At the same time, the 100 people who were originally present were still doing their own actions one second, and the next second they stopped directly in place as if they had been pressed to stop.
And what is particularly strange is that after each of them was stopped, a black mist that could not be erased surged from their faces, as if their consciousness was controlled by this black mist.
Only Priest Mark Blom was wrapped in fire at the moment, and he didn't let those black gases that suddenly appeared invade his body, but could only hit her frantically, and a fire protective wall formed in his body couldn't get close to his body.
At this moment, the applause of the three people suddenly sounded, and then among the three people, the man standing in the middle giggled weirdly.
"Priest Mark Blom is really good, and he can't compare to those little shrimps"
Immediately after that, the black-robed man standing on the left came out with a female voice.
"Big brother is right, Priest Mark Blom is not small, but why can't even the little Yixiu and the Golden Cicada Temple be cleaned up, it's really ridiculous (//∇//). ”
At the same time, Priest Mark Blom, after listening to the ridicule of the three of them, his expression became very cold, and he looked at the three people in front of him coldly, but he didn't say a word.
Finally, the black-robed man standing on the far left said in a voice that was neither male nor female.
"Yo yo~, our Priest Mark Blom doesn't seem to like the way we speak, and he doesn't like our teasing, what can I do?"
"If you have something to say, if you have a fart", Priest Mark Blom rarely burst into a foul mouth.
The next moment, the three black-robed people in front of him, at the same time, opened the black hoods on their heads first, revealing that they had no skin and only a skeleton's head, and said at the same time.
"The Great Prince's order, Priest Mark Blom takes over!!"
The story is not over to be continued
