Chapter 828: Winged Statue
"By the way, don't tell my aunt about this." Galen added solemnly.
"Why not, isn't His Majesty the Prince and his aunt's family together? They jointly promoted the ban. Lux was puzzled.
Lux's aunt, Tiana, is the Generalissimo and is in charge of the vast majority of the soldiers in Nedmacia, including the Dreadnought Vanguard, while her uncle is the Commander of the Demon Seekers, who is in charge of the entire country. And the search for the mage was carried out by these soldiers and demon seekers.
"If you see him, let him go to the Sword Hall." Galen said again.
"Why?"
"For your own sake, don't ask so much."
Galen turned and walked away, donning his ridiculously large shoulder armor and heading to the palace.
Lux stared thoughtfully at Galen's back.
"No matter, let's make up for sleep first."
……
By the time Jeno had caught up on sleep, Ogwesha had been waiting for a long time.
"Why did you sleep so late, was the bed uncomfortable or the quilt wasn't thick enough?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went to bed early last night, and I woke up halfway to see that it was still early, so I slept back, but I didn't expect to oversleep directly."
As soon as Jeno yawned, he saw Ogvesha's concerned eyes, so he secretly took out the shrunken Zhen Ice and dipped it on his forehead, and immediately refreshed his mind under the cold and piercing stimulation.
"Oh~ That's right." Ogwissa nodded, motioning for Jeno to follow her towards the kitchen, "Do you want something to eat before you go?" ”
"Is there anything else to eat?"
"You woke up late, and now it seems that you only have bread and milk, and I remember you are tired of eating."
"Then I'll just eat some." Jeno chuckled and followed.
When the two arrived at the temple, the sun had risen above the head of the Colossus.
The Temple of the Lightbringer in Xiongdu is much more magnificent than the temple in the border town, unlike Fospero, where there are only a few nuns of all ages.
Rows of glow envoys guard the temple doors, ensuring that the illuminators' actions can be carried out in secret in the temple.
Jeno needed a guide to lead them into contact with the Illuminators disguised as the Temple's staff, otherwise the Oolong would be a big mess if they found the wrong person and leaked the Illuminator's existence.
And Jeno happened to know a good candidate, although Ezreal has been a member of the Lighter for a short time, but because of his relatively enthusiastic performance, he is relatively comfortable in the organization, and it is absolutely no problem to be a usher.
Jeno found a place to make a phone call, but in a few moments, Ezreal ran out of the temple to pick them up.
"Why are you here? Come and see me? ”
Ezreal greeted Jeno warmly, and Jeno looked at the bags under his puffy eyes and knew that the events of last night had made the kid so excited that he couldn't sleep now.
"You're stinking and beautiful, I brought Miss Bouvier to report to church." Jeno was not at all polite to Ezreal, pushing him to lead the way.
"Is this the guy you've been looking for?" Oglowisa leaned over to Jeno and whispered, her eyes narrowed and full of confusion.
"It's him, what's wrong?" Ogvesa's demeanor made Jeno feel weird.
"Why is his hairstyle so pompous? Are you all like this in Picheng? ”
"Ahem!" It turned out that in order to complain about this, Jeno hurriedly ended the topic: "Personal hobbies, do not represent the country, and do not evaluate." ”
Jeno couldn't stop laughing, the little yellow hair couldn't get used to it after a pomade and a styling Ogwesha, if she saw Brother Yasuo who was full of grooves, she wouldn't be blind directly.
Ezreal led the two to the place where the Lightbearers usually gathered, and in the temple stood a statue of a protector.
The sunlight framed the silhouette of its face, casting a dazzling halo around its hunched head. The white stone statue is shimmering with gold spots. Huge wings rested over his shoulders, and two long swords were raised in front of his chest.
The expression under the statue's helmet was indifferent and grim, more perfect than any human, and hundreds of candles covered the pedestal at its feet.
The moment he saw this statue, Jeno looked awe-struck. Obviously, he knows this protector, with two swords and two wings, and this is clearly Kyle, the angel of justice!
Jeno suddenly felt a sense of irony.
Kyle upholds extreme justice, and will be punished for violating the law, and is the most impersonal star spirit. The legends she left behind inspired the laws and culture of the kingdom, and she was worshipped as the patron goddess of Demacia.
But the illuminator organization she founded is risking breaking the law to give mages who were born wrong to live.
If Kyle knew about this, I wonder if she would have selflessly judged these cultists who violated her beliefs?
However, Kyle left long before Demacia was founded, and has disappeared for hundreds of years, and he doesn't know when he will return, or he may have fallen on the way to follow the Astral Inheritance, and will never return.
Surrounded by the statue were many members of the Illuminators, some of whom were nobles and some of whom were commoners, but most of them were mages, and the few who could not do magic were close to the mages.
Ezreal's eyes roamed the crowd, quickly aiming for a black-cloaked figure standing beneath the idol.
"That is the priest in charge, just look for her."
Jeno followed Ezreal's guidance and saw the silhouette of a woman in the priest's form. The lower half of her cloak was too wide, as if she was wearing a skirt underneath, and a black headscarf covered her face, making people wonder if she had a scar on her face, so she didn't dare to show her true face.
The priest's attire reminded Jeno of the faceless character played by LeBlan, both of whom also wrapped themselves tightly in cloaks and veils, as if they would disappear at the slightest rays of sunlight.
"Excuse me, can I take a moment of your time?" Oglvesa stopped her.
The priestess opened her legs and walked slowly towards her. Jeno's ears moved, and he seemed to hear the sound of chains scraping.
"The Illuminator will always stop for those in need. Tell me, what are you looking for here? The breath she exhaled as she spoke sent ripples across her veil, and Oglovisa saw a purple glow in her eyes.
She wondered, but it quickly figured out that it was a matter of course for the priests of the illuminators to be magical, and that the purple eyes might indicate that the other party was thinking about themselves in a magical way.
"I'm here to report." Ogwesa nervously released her palms and clenched her fists, "I applied to join the Illuminator in the temple of Fosbayro, but Sister Penile asked me to report here to get through. ”
"Son, where are you from? What is it for? ”
The priest reached out and grabbed Ogwesa, smooth knuckles rubbing against her palm, but it tingled Ogwesa, but luckily, the sting came and went quickly.
This seems to be some kind of test.
