Chapter 17: Temple Report, 03
βTemple Report, 03
- Warriorlands, North, Temple
- Paladin Power Arthur (Hero King), Night Lori Angela (Merlin)
- Recorder: Guardian of Civilization
How would the believers of the temple rebel against the rule of the temple if they found out that the god they believed in was nothing more than a thief?
But no one knew the truth of the matter, so the people living under the rule of the Temple never worried.
The Son of the Temple, Wishi, is a young and beautiful young man with curly blond hair, who is said to be the son of Apollo, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, who was born from the Tree of Wisdom more than ten years ago.
As the only noble-born son of God in the Temple, Weixi enjoyed endless glory and wealth, and grew up to the age of eighteen in the Temple guarded by the Holy Knights.
Wishi didn't like winter, nor did he like summer, because the cold wind would ruffle his hair, and the summer in the temple was so hot that he had to stay in the ice room to get a little cool.
He knew that there was a flame in his chest that would one day burn him to ashes, so the Snow Palace, where the Children of the Temple was located, used large-scale ice and snow magic to maintain absolute zero all year round.
So, when Angela followed Arthur into the palace, her first thought was to emit a scorching light, but for Arthur's sake, she resisted the urge to do so.
"Hey, aren't you cold?" She raised her little frozen face and asked the tall knight who was striding forward.
Arthur stopped waiting for her, exhaled a cold breath, and said, "It's cold, it's very cold, but there's a fire burning in my heart." β
Angela covered her head and said with a headache, "No wonder Lanstrour doesn't want to come in with us, it's so cold here, how can it be inhabited?" β
Arthur said, "Not necessarily, I've heard that in the Far North in the Sea of Winter, there is a tribe of ice that lives in such zero degrees. β
Angela said helplessly, "I can't do it anyway, but it's okay to go down with you, and I'm curious why the Children of the Temple want to see us." β
Arthur raised his heavy sword, "Probably because I pulled out the sword in the stone." β
"Have you heard of the origin of this sword in the stone?"
"Well, in ancient times, the fairy of the lake gave the great Arthur's sword."
"Don't you think, it's weird?"
Arthur smiled and raised an eyebrow and asked, "Maybe I'm the new King Arthur, right?" β
"......" Angela was silent and nodded.
Arthur put his hand on top of her head and said softly, "I know you're not ordinary, Angela, there are no ordinary people around us, everyone is here for me to a greater or lesser extent. However, it doesn't matter who you were in the past, and why you wanted to kill me without doing it, if you keep going, you will have to spend the rest of your life with me for the next few decades. β
When you meet someone, fall in love with someone, know the truth, or work hard to pursue, struggle, or the end of the story, everything has been arranged for a long time.
Until you should know, you will never know, and you will not meet.
Angela snorted, turned her head away, and rejected his tenderness, "...... Aren't you afraid that I will leave directly? β
Arthur turned his back to her, "It's your choice, I have a hunch that our future is behind this door." β
In front of them, at the end of the passage, was a bronze gate, delicately patterned and mosaic with ice and snow.
"Our fate should not be in the hands of the gods."
Whether it's for the sake of the temple or for you, I'm not going to simply bow down to the gods.
Because, I know, I know very well, God, not God.
In the ice room behind the bronze door, on the ice throne, there was a beautiful boy with his eyes closed, except for the golden curly hair with a crown of bright mistletoe, there was no other color on his body.
Dressed in an intricate blue and white robe, it seems to be integrated with the ice palace.
In this ice palace, the only thing that could accompany him to relieve his boredom was a magic mirror given by Pope Medinella, through which he could see every corner of the temple, which was also his means of conveying the oracle to the priests.
The temple was boring, though.
Years of prayer had given him a sense of unreality in the world.
He had a thought that he had never thought before, he wanted to go out, he wanted to leave the Snow Palace, he wanted to leave the Temple, he wanted to leave the Land of Warriors, through the Great Forest of Dano, to the Land of Legends, Avalon.
He also wanted to know what else was beyond the Land of the Warriors.
For example, how many civilized societies are there in this world?
Are these civilizations homologous?
What is the geographical relationship between these civilizations?
- Is it bordering it? Or is it across the ocean? Or is it a mountain away?
- Is it on the ground, underground, or in the air?
Are these civilized societies aware of each other's existence?
- If civilizations are aware of each other's existence, will their relations be peaceful or hostile?
If the relationship between civilizations is peaceful, what about their relationship?
- Trade dealings? Population movement? Is there a marriage between ethnic groups?
If the relationship between civilizations is hostile, what is their relationship?
- Open war? Blocking each other? Small-scale regional wars?
Is there a common language between civilizations? If they don't have a common language, how can they communicate with each other?
- Is it magic? Or a dedicated translator? Or is it a machine?
Is the world as a whole rich or scarce? What resources are the most scarce?
How many races are there in this world?
- Are there essential differences between each race? Is it possible to intermarry with each other?
Is there a distinction between races?
- Is this hierarchy of "high and low" ethnicity recognized by the whole world, or does it vary according to country/civilization?
Is this society deity-believing or atheistic?
Is there a major religious group in this society?
What are the main tenets of these religious groups?
In what ways do religious acts manifest themselves: Mass, chanting, prayer, preaching, sacrifice, dancing?
Does this society believe in some kind of creation myth?
- In their legends, how did the world come into being, and how did everything in the world appear?
β¦β¦
There were many, many problems that he would never know if he stayed in the Snow Palace, so he had to find a way to extinguish the fire in his heart and no longer rely on the ice and snow spell to suppress it.
However, opportunities soon presented themselves.
Five years ago, he found the young man Arthur who could draw the sword in the stone, and based on the history he had read and the occasional conversation with Pope Medonella, he quickly deduced that the young man named "Arthur" was probably the hero King Arthur who sacrificed the sword of the lake by the fairy of the lake in ancient times.
Although it is not known what technology Pope Medonella achieved for him, it does not prevent him from carrying out his plan.
According to Pope Medonella, the young man who would unite the Templars in the future could only be named Arthur, who would lead the Land of Warriors to a great revival.
But this era is destined for sacrifices, including her, including the Temple.
Theocracy must be broken, and a new civilization is born from the collapse of the old order.
He was unwilling to allow the Templar's faith to be shattered by the Knights Templar, so he asked to meet Arthur to find a new direction for the future of the Templar.
- But, that's fate.
Arthur's unification of the Knights Templar meant that the era of the clerics' rule over the Templars would soon come to an end.
Then, the meaning of his birth from the Tree of Wisdom is to light the first flame for this war.
Unwilling!
Just die!
Arthur pushes open the snow-covered bronze door, steps through the door with Angela, and confronts the son of the god who only exists in legends.
The moment their eyes met, the space they were in instantly distorted, and the two were teleported to an endless prairie.
It's not that their position has changed, it's that the location of the space has changed.
Hanlu, who was controlling Medonella, knew that this was the spatial cut of Messenger G.
Through the positioning of the first system Ξ± of Santa Lunta, her projection appeared directly on the shores of Lake Avalon, "Lord Messenger, you have no right to interfere with the future of the temple. β
Hirsch was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by her appearance, she remembered that this was the Kunlun Patrol Envoy Hanlu, but she didn't seem to have the authority to directly initiate a conversation with her.
Hirsch frowned, and said to the second system Ξ² who was on standby: temporarily block her permissions, and release her after Arthur and Wishi make a choice.
- Received instructions and is being executed.
Hirsch unleashed the Command Space Cut, opened the passage to the Wild Wasteland, and said to Vivien, "Rhine will be handed over to you." β
Vivien asked, "Aren't you going to take him away?" β
Hirsch shook his head, "No, here, he's not going to die." β
"Maybe fate can be changed."
Hirsch smiled, and there was endless desolation in his smile, "I know, but it costs too much, and now he doesn't have the ability." β
As a descendant of the fire god Zhurong, Rhine should have returned to the place of origin according to the rules of the ark, but he did not believe in the creator, he believed in the goddess Athena.
- Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
"Let him make a choice, I'll come back with the hourglass of time, and when the time comes, let's talk about it."
Hirsch sighed and stepped into the twisted space.
As soon as Rhine woke up, he asked Vivien, who was floating beside him, "Where did she go?" β
Vivien said, "To the north of the Land of Warriors, the Avalon Temple. β
Rhine pouted, "Won't she wait for me?" β
Vivien pondered, "...... She said you should be serious about your choice. β
"What choice?"
"Faith."
ββ¦β¦β
I know what she means...... But it can't be done!
Lose your faith, lose your dreams, and live only for the last heart.
But what is the final heart?
"Why don't you leave the Land of Warriors with her." Vivien said suddenly.
Rhine was stunned, "What? β
- Leaving the Land of the Warriors?
