|||->-> Christopher's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, looking at the list in his hand, on the list, there are many names, some with blue lines on the back, some with thin red lines, from the middle of the names, covering the names.

Christopher held a blue pen in his right hand, trembling slightly, and looked at the list for a long time before ticking off another name.

Folsen, he was too young, less than three hundred years old, to die.

After Folsen's name was crossed out, there were not many names left on the entire list, and they were not marked.

Christopher took out a blank piece of paper, compared it to the list, one by one, transcribed their names on the white paper, each name was written on the list, and a name was ticked off with a red pen, and his heart was dripping blood.

Any living thing will die one day, even if it is a god, it is impossible to live forever, the lifespan of a god is too long compared to human beings, in the eyes of human beings, this is considered immortality, after all, hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years of life, not called eternal life, what is it called?

But the lifespan of the gods, on the time scale of the entire universe, is only a fleeting moment, let alone the lifespan of human beings.

The near-gods who have reached the peak of human strength have a lifespan of at least eight hundred years, and more magic elves are included, and the mages who are nourished by the elves have a lifespan of two or three thousand years, which is unattainable for ordinary people.

Those who are close to God are the true pillars of Astia.

It is the near-gods who have saved Astya from the crisis that is about to be subverted again and again.

In the past, the death of every near-god who belonged to Astia would cause quite a stir in the temple system, but now, the near-god who was transferred out died one by one, only to see a short list sent back, and the apprentices were already numb.

But Christopher understood very well that the short line on the list represented a deceased near-god person.

At the moment, it's just a name, but a professional, starting from a successful trial and becoming a trainee professional, is promoted to a regular position, promoted to senior, looking for opportunities to break through, and finally becomes a near-god person, that is, the most demonic genius in history, Lin Sanshao, it takes fifty-six years, and the others, ninety-nine percent who have the potential to become a near-god, will take two hundred years, or even more.

In the last three years, Brummel has drawn a total of 1,242 people from the temple's direct subordinates to the gods, and the death list sent back is as many as 937!

This is all the precipitation of the temple for 3,000 years!

What is Brummel doing! He knows he's going crazy to drain the temple!

The death list is only sent back from Christopher's hands, and this does not include the near-gods mobilized by Brummel from other systems, plus his direct subordinates, and the adventure team under his management, all of which add up, I am afraid that it is close to three thousand.

That is to say, in the entire kingdom of Pharnia, three-fifths of the near-god beings are now under the account of Brummel and are working hard for one thing.

What is it that requires so many people who are close to the gods to work together?

In this world, there are definitely not many things that require the cooperation of 3,000 near-god beings to do, even if it is god-killing.

But this kind of thing just happened.

Brummel's warrant for the transfer of warrants has always been extremely simple, and most of them are the same sentence: "Draw xx military attachés, xx priests,

This matter is related to the safety of the Holy Continent, please!"

It's just that this xx, from eighty at the beginning, gradually decreases, seventy, sixty, thirty, twenty...... Until now, the recent transfer of warrants has drawn five military attaches and three priests.

There are less than five hundred near-god people left in the temple under Christopher, and a small half of these near-god people have been produced in the past three hundred years, and they are still in their respective positions, conscientiously and conscientiously completing their duties, and have not yet completely entered the temple.

When these people retire from their posts and enter the temple completely, they can maintain the temple for at least another five hundred years, and if the number is small......

The time of the super monster tide is getting shorter and shorter each time, and the king also begins to question the actions of the temple, in case ...... Christopher didn't dare to think any further.

"Master, Priest Trusedo of the Su State Branch Hall has returned and is waiting for you in the living room. The apprentice priest knocked at the door and came in.

"Oh, good...... I'll go right away. Christopher stood up, picked up the piece of paper with eight names written on it, and handed it to the apprentice priest, "Inform the eight lords, that they should come to the high priest tomorrow morning to hear the order." ”

"Well, okay. The apprentice priest took the order, departed respectfully, and closed the door.

On the list, there are seven priests and one military attaché.

The five priests and three military attachés required by High Priest Blumel really had no way to be drawn out, so they could only be replaced like this, at least the total number was not reduced.

Christopher smiled helplessly, when did the temple be so embarrassed as it is now, and even the transfer of a few people close to the gods had to be so careful?

When did it start?

Missionaries, magicians, sorcerers, and spellcasters were collectively referred to as priests after entering the Astyan system, and there were many more sources of military attachés, knights, swordsmen, archers, tomahawk fighters, and gladiators...... As many as a dozen professions.

However, when facing the enemy, the safety of the priest is the most important, and the military attache not only has to face the frontal impact of the monster, but also has to risk his life to protect the priest when the priest is in danger.

Coupled with the difference in the lifespan of the priest and the military attaché, this determines that Astia, the number of living priests, far more than the number of military attachés, and even many mission teams, the members of the entire team, are all priests, and can only rely on the magic pet partner to act as the front row.

This is the dilemma that has existed in the temple for thousands of years, and High Priest Brummel knows it very well, and will never blame him for it.

Christopher tidied up the table, folded the list full of markers, and sandwiched it into the "Prayer", sorted out his emotions, and completely removed the gloom from his face before he got up and walked towards the living room.

Priest Tryusedo of the branch hall of the Soviet Union is an apprentice of Christopher when he was still in the church, and he can go all the way to the position of the head of the branch hall, which is inseparable from his own diligence, but Christophe also played a lot of help on the way to become the second-in-command of Astia, so every time Tryustodo returns to the temple to report his work, he will take time to visit Christopher.

The priests of the branch temple only have the opportunity to return to the temple once every five years, and Christopher naturally wants to see them, and this meeting between the two has lasted for more than a thousand years, and it will not change because of anything.

Compared with Christopher's age, the difference between Terrujuto and Christopher is only seventy years old, which can be regarded as a person of the same era, but he looks much younger than Christopher's old state.

A head of black hair neatly combed into the back of the head, face

There are no age spots on it, a hooked nose, thick lips, full of energy, more like an energetic middle-aged man.

He sat in the living room, comfortably leaning on the sofa, holding a glass of water in his hand, looking up at the "Statue of Goddess Erenória" on the opposite wall, quietly enjoying the quiet atmosphere.

The door was gently pushed open, and Christopher walked in, saw that Teryu Shiduo was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Turyu Shiduo, what are you looking at!"

Hearing Christopher's voice, Teryu Shiduo hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up, and said respectfully: "Teacher, you are well!"

"Oh, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, come, come...... Sit down and talk......" Christopher laughed, pulled Teryushido to sit down with him, and said, "What are you looking at? Statue of the Goddess?"

"Well, I kept looking at the goddess just now, and I found that she really is, and the more I look at it, the more beautiful ......"

"Hahaha...... Millions of statues of the goddess have been printed, and you have at least 200,000 copies over there, tell me honestly, are they all posted in your office?"

"Haha...... Don't dare, I just think that this pair is different from the others......"

"Psychological, psychological, after all, this is a temple, hahaha......"

The two laughed very happily, the apprentice priest came in and brought Christopher a glass of water, the apprentice withdrew, and closed the door of the living room, Christopher glanced at the door, and then asked, "How is it, how are you doing?"

As soon as Teliu Shiduo heard it, he knew that the greetings were over, and it was time to talk about business.

With a straight face, he said solemnly: "In the past five years, a total of seven people in the Su Kingdom have become near-gods, and there is only one human being, and they also serve in the Su ** team, so they can't be absorbed into the temple, but it's strange that three years ago, there was suddenly a powerful adventure team in the Su Kingdom, and all the team members were peak near-gods, and even the demon pet partners were all near-gods...... I went to check it out and found out that they were from Pharnia, and after arriving in the Sioux country on the Iokia, they went all the way north to visit the scenery, and a year later settled in the city of Cannabela, helping the Sioux royal family and solving a lot of troubles......"

"Oh, which adventure team is it?" Christopher asked, and in his impression, there weren't many adventure teams that were all members, even the demon pet companions, were near-gods.

"Call the Demon Sword Squad......"

"It's them!" Christopher slapped the table and stood up.

Teryu Shiduo didn't know why, but he also stood up and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong with them?"

Christopher realized his gaffe, sat down slowly, and said, "It's nothing ......."

Where can there be nothing!

It was the Demon Sword Squad that sent someone to send that ghost thing, which led to a large number of deaths in the past three years!

However, Christopher quickly figured out that this could not be blamed on the Magic Sword Squad, this thing was something that Brummel had spent a lot of money and manpower on and had been looking for, and it was a great achievement that the Magic Sword Squad could send it.

Now that so many people have died, the escape of the Demon Sword Team is really nothing.

Ten near-god beings are just there, and the role they can play in a battle where nearly three thousand near-god people cooperate and have to die a small part of them is really insignificant.

"Oh, they are the ace adventure team of the temple, it is estimated that in the past two years, they have gone to the Su country to relax. ”

"Oh......" Teliu Shiduo saw it, this ace adventure team, presumably there must be another love, scattered, can be dispersed to settle down?
