Chapter 270: The Temple of the Moon God
The entire Bright Mountain was shrouded in a faint white halo, it was the Holy Light Barrier that guarded the Holy Mountain, and outsiders wanted to trespass unless they destroyed this powerful Barrier. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only through the only entrance to Guangming Mountain, which is directly opposite the main street, can you step on the 10,000 steps leading to the top of the mountain, but this also requires a lot of identity verification before you can enter.
There are not many holy elves living on the Bright Mountain, and according to Karui, there are less than a thousand holy elves who still maintain a pure heart, excluding the betrayed and enslaved.
Roy observed from afar and found that there must be a card made of amethyst to enter and exit the Bright Mountain, and only by showing this card can he enter smoothly.
He didn't have a card, and he still had a completely unfamiliar face, and he walked over like this, and there was no doubt that he would be arrested in an instant.
Judging from the current situation, when the elven clan reaches this situation, the royal court may not necessarily sell the face of Roy and Luo Xiya, the princess of the previous dynasty who fell into distress.
The new regime has been established, and if Luo Xiya returns, the power and status of the eight presiding judges of the royal court will be hollowed out, or even deprived.
Their attitude towards Roy, then, is worth speculating.
The only things Roy could trust now were the priests of the Moon Temple, and they had to be priests of good standing.
Among the priests there were also different statuses, divided into: junior priests, intermediate priests, senior priests, and high priests. Among them, the high priest and the saint of the moon have equal status, then the senior priest who presides over major matters such as sacrifices and funerals, then the intermediate priest who is in charge of various trivial matters, and finally the junior priest who runs errands.
Roy thought for a moment, took advantage of the two-minute stealth time of skills and equipment, and immediately strode up.
That's right, he just planned to use the two-minute stealth time to evade the interrogation and rush straight in.
But reality tells Roy that he's taking it for granted.
After turning on the stealth, he stepped forward, and at the entrance sentry box, he slowed down, cautiously a group of guard soldiers, and drilled inside.
But when he had just stepped into the Guangming Mountain Realm with one foot, there was a sudden crisp sound of bells in the sentry box, the bell was not loud, but it was very penetrating, as if it had magical power, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and exploded in an instant.
"It's not good, the enemy is attacking, the whole army is on alert."
"Who is it? Bright Holy Mountain, idle people, etc., are not allowed to trespass. Led by a tall and mighty thunder elf general, he shouted at the top of his voice.
However, no one responded to him, because Roy himself was so startled that he didn't care to speak, and galloped in without looking back.
The sound of the wind brought by the wild run, like a trajectory, made the thunder elf general feel that something was wrong, looking at the endless staircase that was empty and there was no trace of shadow, the general frowned, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he turned his head and whispered to the subordinates beside him: "You immediately report to the imperial guard, there are elves trespassing on the holy mountain, let them search the whole mountain, block the secondary line of defense, and don't let people break into the royal court." ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
In fact, it was too late for the Thunder Elf general to block the second-level defense line, Roy's goal was the top of the mountain, and he would not stay in the residential area below where the Light Elf Royal Clan and the Holy Elf Royal Clan were the mainstay.
By the time they had completely blocked the defensive line, Roy had successfully infiltrated the area above the mountainside of Guangming Mountain, which was where the royal palace was located.
As an Assassin, stealth was naturally Roy's best skill.
With a powerful sense of smell and a strong sense of hearing and vision, Roy hid as soon as he spotted an elf approaching, sometimes shuttling through the grass and sometimes leaping over the eaves.
But the Imperial Guards on the Bright Mountain were not covered, and after blocking the secondary line of defense, the royal court continued to surround the palace group with upward layout, and instantly poured into countless elven imperial guards with weapons in their hands.
The dense imperial guards carried out a carpet search, and a group of powerful Praetorian Guards came down from the top of the mountain. The two sides completely blocked Roy's upward path with a combined encirclement.
Seeing that it was a turtle in an urn, Roy looked around, jumped over the guardrail, and slipped into a room that seemed to be empty.
There is really no one in the antique room, only a large bed, a round table and a wardrobe, the whole room seems extremely simple, without any superfluous props, obviously a temporary suite for guests.
After glancing, Roy didn't hesitate to burrow into the closet.
Sure enough, there were no clothes in the closet, which was convenient for Roy, he thought about it, closed the closet door, and immediately chose to go offline.
Before the stealth time is refreshed, he will not go online again, and if he rushes out without stealth skills to save his life, he will definitely die.
At the same time the next day, Roy was online again, the huge closet still empty, but the sound of voice could be heard in the room.
Huh, anyone?
Roy frowned and listened quietly.
"Your Highness, rest assured, tomorrow night, the tens of thousands of tons of food hoarded by the royal court will be burned."
"Very good, the food hoarded in Guangming City was burned in an accidental fire, and hundreds of thousands of elves in Guangming City are about to starve to death. I'd like to see if those pretentious guys can still stand in front of me and talk so arrogantly. Their only way out is to ask for help from Silvermoon City, not to mention the royal court, even the Moon God Temple will have to submit to our blood clan. By the way, Charles's side is fine, right? ”
"Tomorrow night the temple of the moon god prays, and the high priest will lead all the priests in prayer. Charles would light incense in the temple, and all the priests of the temple would be unarmed lambs to the slaughter. ”
"Haha, that's good. At that time, I will be the new generation of Elven Emperor, abolish the identity of the Holy Elf Imperial Family, and establish the Blood Clan as the Elven Imperial Family, and you will be my number one hero. ”
"Your Highness, what if there is a riot on the Holy Elves' side?"
"Riots? These surviving holy elves, relying on their royal status to cheat and drink, if they dare to riot, they will all be killed. The Blood Elf sneered disdainfully, "Over there in the Temple of the Moon, let Charles take care of the Holy Maiden Reilia, she is your future queen." ”
"Yes!" The elf, who was dressed in a black robe and couldn't see it, left the room.
"The blood elves have been imprisoned on the island of the sun for 10,000 years, and now it's finally time to turn over."
The gorgeous and handsome blood elf man smiled sheepishly and waited for about 5 minutes before getting up and leaving the room.
Blood Clan, Silver Moon City, Your Highness, when he heard these three words, Roy already understood the identity of the robed blood elf in the room.
Undoubtedly, he was Prince Kael'thas and the eighth presiding judge of the Royal Council, son of Anastarian, the supreme ruler of the Bloodline.
But even if he became the presiding judge, he was not satisfied, and even ambitiously wanted to rule the entire elven race.
Sometimes, the enemy is not terrible, the most terrible is the internal struggle. The growing population of the elves and the dwindling resources they use make them conflicted.
This matter must be notified to the Moon Temple today.
Roy stepped out of the closet, went to the door and took a look, dodging out after making sure it was safe outside.
From the royal court to the Temple of the Moon God, there was a transitional hundred-step staircase, and Roy looked around the area from a distance.
This transitional area was tightly cordoned off, and around the mountain, there were countless Imperial Guards and Praetorian Guards, and those soldiers were less than a meter away from each other, barely allowing one person to enter, almost forming a human wall.
I thought that after a day, they couldn't find anyone, and the defense should be a little lax, but who knew that the defense would be tighter.
After waiting for a while, a priest in a white robe came from the bottom of the mountain, presumably to go to the Temple of the Moon God.
Roy's eyes lit up, and when the white-robed priest approached the blockade, Roy followed him silently, like a shadow.
After a brief examination, the white-robed priest was let go, and Roy followed him incognito, and walked in together.
The Temple of the Moon God is not just a temple, but a huge complex of buildings with dozens of magnificent buildings.
The most obvious is naturally the central temple at the top of the Bright Mountain, which is rectangular in shape and has a front hall, a main hall, and an apse within the temple. The temple pedestal covers an area of 100,000 square feet, the size of two football fields, and is supported by 108 marble columns that rise to 64 feet high. From a distance, it is extraordinary, radiant, and shows the highest level of elven architectural art.
The whole temple is inlaid with gold and jade, purple gold paving, dazzling colored glass, and all kinds of decorations and icons are full of the symbol of the moon, or the crescent moon, or the half moon, or the full moon.
The huge walls and stone pillars are carved with various patterns, and the vast and boundless temple square is filled with various reliefs. Those reliefs are vivid, exquisite and rich, done in one go, vivid, and the movements of the characters are perfect, which can be called a ghostly workmanship.
After moving away from the blockade, Roy quickly left the white-robed priest, and his two-minute stealth time was so short that his whereabouts were almost exposed.
Fortunately, the Moon Temple was not heavily defended, and Roy cautiously sneaked through the rows of temple buildings to the temple.
The temple looks majestic from afar, but it looks exquisite and luxurious up close.
Roy didn't dare to break in directly from the front, but took a detour to the back and jumped high onto the temple's cloister.
However, before his heel could settle down, the wooden door on the side suddenly opened, and a white-robed priestess carrying a fruit bowl came out of it.
"Who are you?"
The white-robed priestess spotted Roy in an instant, her eyes full of vigilance.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Roy dared to stay, his legs were windy, and he went into the hall with his head covered.
The temple is divided into a front nave, a middle nave, and an inner nave.
It was the inner sanctum that Roy entered.
Seeing Roy fleeing, the priestess behind him immediately shouted, and as soon as he ran, he clearly told the priestess that he was the assassin who trespassed on the Bright Mountain yesterday.
There was an uproar outside the temple, and in the blink of an eye, countless junior priests gathered together, one by one, dressed in white robes and straw sandals made of olive branches, and searched every room and corner of the temple.
"Look, look carefully for me, and be sure to catch the assassin before the high priest returns."
Half an hour later, a group of priests rummaged through every corner of the temple, but still couldn't find Roy.
"How could it not be seen! Have you searched every corner? Don't be left behind. The high priest at the head frowned and asked.
A mid-level priest nodded tremblingly, "Except for the Moon God Palace, we have searched every corner. ”
"Luna Palace?" Hearing this, the High Priest shook his head: "If the assassin dares to go to the Moon God Palace, he will definitely die, and the Holy Maiden of Reilia is in retreat in the Moon God Palace at this moment. ”
"So what now?"
"Since you can't find it, let's disperse first! The Assassin may have descended the mountain. ”
