Throughout the entire Falan City, the temple of the Elemental Tower is also one of the best buildings after the Imperial Palace in terms of scale.

At night, the tower glows with neon, and arcs of light symbolizing the five elements illuminate almost half of the Hurud neighborhood.

In the opposite direction is the Mage's Guild complex, with its gray towers and rigid, quaint architecture that makes it look like the stone of a gray fir collar.

This is also known as the "Elemental Alley", and between the two houses are most of the mage-related shops, such as potions, wands, staffs, robes, and so on.

At the beginning, someone in the game said that if you throw a naked magic cock into the Elemental Alley, give him enough money, and in less than half an hour, a full-body graduated wizard will come out, and then a snap of his fingers will destroy half of the Elemental Alley.

Of course, this is just a joke, most of the things in Element Lane need to be ordered in advance, aside from the extremely high prestige requirements, some high-level equipment also needs team dungeons to produce high-end materials, and the magic equipment in "Dusk Era" is not a cabbage on the side of the road, just buy it.

That night, the light of the tower shone as brightly as usual, and after the prayers, the Pope summoned the twelve priests as usual.

But unlike usual, the atmosphere today is extraordinarily serious.

Pope Paul IV always had his back to the twelve, his head bowed to the statue of Ikali in front of him, and a hint of intimidating coercion emanated from him and the statue.

The priests knew that this was the Pope's attempt to communicate with the Goddess.

He does this whenever there is a major accident, and the reason for this time is unknown.

I don't know how long it took, the coercion wore off, and Paul turned around, opened his eyes, and swept everyone with those royal blue rhinestone-like eyes.

No one dared to look at those eyes, which barely had the whites of their eyes, and it looked inexplicably terrifying.

"Have you all heard the news from the Morning Star?"

Twelve, you look at me, I look at you, all at a loss.

Morning star?

That place that has been reduced to a desert of faith?

After that explosion a year ago, the people of the Tower in Morning Star were all expelled. They have been in business for so many years in Morningstar, and they finally squeezed the Church of the Holy Word into a corner, but who knew that a sudden change destroyed these in one fell swoop, and made them completely rats crossing the street.

What news can Morningstar have now? The ignorant human beings, finding the Church of the Word useless, wept and shouted for them to go back?

"Hey......"

The Pope sighed.

"My lord's once loyal servant, the Duke of Ashes, the Flame Singer, the unquenchable golden flame of Garton, and his followers are beginning to be active in the Morning Star. And this time, he has the help of the Edwardsians. ”

"Edwards?"

The twelve priests exclaimed in unison.

As the guardians of the Morning Star, the Edwards family's status in this country can be imagined.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Morning Star, the Elemental Tower was the first goal to win over the Edwards, but Duke Rose was full of swordsmen, and he couldn't hold back a spell caster for hundreds of years, let alone faith, and most of them didn't even give the Church of the Holy Word a good look - fortunately, the latter had almost no sense of existence, so there was no political conflict between the Protector Church and the Protector Nation.

By the time of the generation of the amazingly talented Star Sword Saint Rheinharut, Edwards' prestige had reached its peak.

However, this Juggernaut is an out-and-out blasphemer.

During a sermon on a high tower, he actually led his men and horses to storm the pulpit, and "missed" to smash the statue of the goddess, and afterwards declared that "power cannot be obtained in a vacuum, and anything that seems to have no price will knock you hard in the future, you should be careful", such blasphemous remarks shook the determination of many believers.

Fortunately, he was later punished by God, and Edwards was devastated from then on, which allowed the size of the tower to proceed smoothly. But even so, for this family that has connections with the Orientals, they still haven't been able to penetrate the slightest.

If you think about it, if it weren't for the idiots of the Alien Fire Cult, maybe they would have mastered the Morning Star by now......

"I know what you're thinking." Paul spoke slowly, "But now is not the time to consider the Morning Star. This magical fertile ground is what we really care about...... Do you remember the teachings of our lord at the beginning of the building of the tower? ”

"Remember!"

A tall, thin priest stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Our Lord says that the ignorant blasphemers have left behind a cage that imprisons the foolish, and imprisons the firmament above us. And my lord wants to focus on controlling the magic net, which is a matter related to the spirits of Lokan, and cannot be distracted, so he entrusts us with the important task of spreading grace. ”

"Good." Paul approvingly, "Go on." ”

The tall and thin priest nodded, stopping his chest.

"Thankfully, we didn't insult her grace. Under the leadership of successive popes, and thanks to our unremitting efforts, over the years, four of the six council families have been fully controlled by us...... As long as the last two defect, we can close the enchantment completely! Let the radiance of the goddess shine again on this fertile land! ”

"That's right......"

"It's almost ......"

"The light of our Lord will shine again......

The twelve chief priests also bowed their heads slightly and whispered in him.

But Paul suddenly snapped, "Is that enough!" ”

The smug smile of the tall and thin priest froze on his face, and the others had to be silenced.

"Are you satisfied? Are you proud of that? Are you immersed in this false feat, complacent, unenterprising, and completely forgetting the teachings of the Goddess! ”

"Don't dare!"

"We ...... Can't! ”

The twelve people knelt on the ground together, their heads buried low, and they didn't dare to come out.

Paul swept over everyone again and said coldly:

"Twenty-five years ago, Morning Star City's chief priest Mora switched to the Gardon crown, and we learned of the traces of the Alien Fire Cultists for the first time.

"A year ago, the Cult of the Alien Fire was exposed to the Morning Star, implicating us and killing Chris.

"But now, a year later, the Alien Fire Cult is back! They even bewitched the Edwards!

"You guys, do you know what that means! This means that someone else has already done what the Tower can't do before us! This move is tantamount to disgrace to the goddess!!

"And you guys are still complacent about your little achievements...... I thought you guys would feel guilty and ashamed!! But you don't! ”

Paul's tone gradually increased, and the temperature in the room also dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even ice condensed in the air.

The priests felt the frost quickly crawl all over the floor, and the air they exhaled became white.

It wasn't until the temperature caused a thick layer of frost to form on everyone's eyebrows, beards, and hair in the room that it stopped continuing to fall, but fortunately, the priests themselves were all strong and would not be frozen to death by the low temperature.

Only then did Paul speak again.

"It's the Academy's newspaper today, and the recalcitrant blasphemers say they've found something left behind by an ancient mage......

The tall and thin priest raised his head tremblingly: "Could it be that there is a fish that has slipped through the net......"

"Impossible." Paul said, "The fish that try to break free from the net have been made into the weapons of the goddess, and the rebels who are trying to conquer the endless sea are constantly accumulating strength, and there is no way for a fish to slip through the net." I think most of the remnants of the 'Ancient Mage' came from His Majesty Gardon, and it can't be so coincidental, there must be some kind of connection behind it. We should still focus on the Morning Star. ”

After a pause, he looked at the end of the twelve.

"Priest Miller, I need you to lead a team of adjudicators to the Morning Star to find out what this is all about, and to use 'weapons' if necessary."

Miller stood up and bowed deeply.

"Yes, His Majesty. So...... ...... of 'fuel' for 'weapons'"

"Search for fuel on your own at Morningstar."

"Yes."

Miller walked to the door, a golden fire burning away the hoarfrost from his body, and then left.

Seeing him leave, the Pope sighed and looked at the others.

"Choose a new priest, Miller will return to the arms of the goddess before us, and I want you to find out what the so-called 'ancient mage' has left behind before then."

"Yes."
