Chapter 33: The Supreme Order
In the dimly lit underground temple, next to the bloody altar, an old priest in a black robe was the leader, followed by twelve priests kneeling.
The candles flickered all around, and the illuminated figures seemed to sway with the candles.
There was a "shy" sound on the altar, and a cloud of black mist emerged from the center.
The black mist, which had been irregular, slowly condensed into a cloud, revealing a vague and floating human face.
Seeing the appearance of this person's face, all the priests hurriedly kowtowed twelve times in a row.
"Great God, your servants pay you the highest respect......"
"The Great Divine ......"
When all the rituals were done, the black-robed high priest stood up, bowed seventy degrees, and said, "Great God of War, your servants are willing to listen to your divine will. ”
The human face doesn't seem to show much of the enjoyment of the superiors, taking everything for granted.
After a full half hour of silence, a voice full of majesty sounded with a low face:
"An ant has offended my dignity, and this is his portrait."
"The majesty of the gods is inviolable."
"Go and kill him!"
"This, takes precedence over any plan."
"Do as my lord wills!"
The old priest knelt down again and clasped his head reverently.
"Go, there are rats in the station."
"If necessary, activate the final button!"
……
On a throne of bones, a man in battle armor looked into the distance, his gaze seeming to pierce through the depths, pointing straight at Chiron.
"A mere ant-in-order would dare to challenge the authority of the gods."
"If you don't be able to return to the Qilun Continent for the time being, just because you let go of my Holy Maiden Forbidden Body, you will definitely throw your soul into the Abyss Purgatory!"
Somewhere in the Council of the Round Table, there were twelve thrones.
On weekdays, there are basically few of these seats, but this time all twelve characters gathered.
This is extremely rare in hundreds of years of history.
Most of the twelve figures were blurred, and it wasn't that they were deliberately hiding.
Among them, in fact, many of them are projections across planes!
"The power of prophecy is being suppressed more and more."
The old man sitting in the third position on the right side spoke, this is a rare existence of several real bodies.
"This time, the prophecy is vague."
"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will no longer be able to capture the trajectory of fate."
"This is a disaster for the Qilun Continent and for us humans."
A sneer rang out, and a dark shadow visibly swayed.
"We, the council, are not everyone's babysitters, Ekrin, you are too merciful."
"Look at it, what kind of care have you taken care of the people on the mainland, living and working in peace and contentment?"
"The strong will always be born in the struggle of fire and blood."
"We don't need the weak."
"Ants will eventually disappear into the long river of history. The prophesied catastrophe that the weak cannot resist. ”
As if sensing Eklin's frown, what seemed to be a slender woman on the side said jokingly:
"Alright, Ecolin, there should be something important about your supreme call this time."
"I remember that the last time there was a call was when the gods came by force and faith was fighting."
"That's when we decided to establish a parliament."
Ekorin sighed, his expression a little helpless:
"The prophecy of the long years is coming."
"What kind of catastrophe is it, even if we gather almost all the sages on the continent, we haven't understood it."
Mocking Ekorin before came to provoke again, "Since there is no substantial progress, and it has spent so many resources to launch the supreme appeal?" ”
"Forget it, you know us, everyone's time is very precious."
"Our lifespan is almost eternal, however, every bit of time is more valuable than the life of an ant."
Hearing this, Ecklin's face was angry, considering that every minute of delay was a huge drain, and only then did he stop himself.
"Within six months to three years, the catastrophe will come."
"Lately, the apostles, heretics, and the gods have all been on the move."
"You'd better get back to Chiren as soon as possible."
"This is the unanimous conclusion of all the sages, and for this reason, seven sages have exhausted their minds and passed away."
……
An important announcement has been made, everyone has left, and Ecklin has returned to the office.
Rubbing his eyebrows, he gave an order to his subordinates:
"Let Asani withdraw the legions stationed in the border wilderness and go to the East China Sea to stand by."
"Vacant positions, let other legions draw people to the top."
"If anyone disagrees, just say that's what I meant!"
After seeing the overwhelming power of the red dragon, the major mercenary groups all dispelled the idea of slaying the dragon.
After suffering such a big loss, their faces were all dead gray, especially the major regiment commanders, who had sad faces.
The onlookers didn't have so many ideas, they just felt that they hadn't come in vain.
Legends are legends, and the power of the dragon has given them an unparalleled shock.
They originally thought that the captains of the major mercenary groups were already unattainable, but they didn't expect that compared with the dragon, they were not scum.
Yoxiu took the opportunity to sneak in and returned to Ulhe City with the group of noisy people.
This time he entered the city, he did not wear a badge, but honestly paid the cost of entering the city with three silver coins.
Again, Joshua changed his countenance.
This was his experience as a fraudster in his previous life, and it was a habit that he had retained at that time.
Every detail you overlook can lead to your failure.
Especially for a fraudster, it is the pretender who hides in the deepest depths.
At the Maria Tavern, Joshua met the mercenaries who had been traveling with him before.
Odd and the others were also drinking excitedly, discussing the matter of the red dragon, and they were also part of the onlookers before.
In fact, with Aode's strength, it is almost the strength of the leaders of the top ten mercenary groups.
However, he is mixed in with a relatively ordinary mercenary group.
Not everyone chooses to lie on their stomachs and aspire to fame.
A man with a family is more inclined to live a peaceful life.
Joshua drank the last glass of wheat wine, which tasted a little inferior, but it didn't hinder his liking.
After paying for three silver coins, Joshu found the library in Ulhe City.
It's more of a tower than a library.
The people who come and go inside are all characters with heads and faces, if they are not rich businessmen, they are also the children of nobles.
Few ordinary civilians would be willing to pay the price of a gold coin for the sake of learning knowledge, and apply for a monthly pass.
Even if they have the heart, they may not have the money.
"Sir, please show your companion card."
At the front desk, a woman dressed intellectually was polite, even if Joxiu was dressed like a very poor person at the moment.
"I am a scholar, and I am here to pursue the truth."
Seeing the red flower badge, the woman saluted slightly to Yoxiu, and the people who were waiting to see the show were also startled.
Under the respectful gaze of the people around him, Joxiu walked into the library.
It's not that he wants to show off, but that he is an ordinary loan staff who simply doesn't have access to those really valuable books.
After obtaining a special permit, Joshu went to the fifth floor, where only a handful of people were allowed to set foot in it.
"Your Knowledge—Persona +1."
"Your Knowledge-+1 Spell Discrimination"
"Your Knowledge-Pharmacy +1"
With the bonus of the red flower badge and the intelligent specialty, Joxiu is quickly brushing up on his knowledge.
Book after book flipped around.
People who don't know think that he is simply flipping through the books, but they don't know that countless knowledge has been memorized by him.
In just one afternoon, he brushed his knowledge to 34, almost reaching the level of an intermediate scholar.
Even regardless of the Great Prophecy skill, the knowledge itself is very useful, and while waiting, Joshu doesn't mind brushing up on the level of knowledge.
At present, it is not clear that in fact, through books, the further you go, the more difficult it is to increase your knowledge.
Because the content of many books is somewhat repetitive.
Looking at the time, it was almost night, and Joshu put back the books that ordinary people might not have read in a month, and then went to the agreed place.
Before that, he took out the book he had gotten from Hank.
This is a treasure.
