Chapter 1152: Cooking
The voice of the hotel owner made several cooks in the back kitchen and the waiters who had been hiding behind the counter poke their heads out, only to be frightened by the three huge pit vipers in the house.
If it is outside, the giant snake above six meters may not have such a great visual impact, but in the lobby of this hotel, three pit vipers of this size give people the illusion of "taking up half of the room".
And when they saw Sally standing up and the three pit vipers prostrate beside them, they all quickly knelt on the ground like the hotel owner, and shouted the name of "Anda Priest" as if praying outside the temple.
Roddy immediately realized what was wrong, and he glanced up at Akasha and Nata, and then at Sally, who had all seen the frescoes in the temple of Duriel, and the scene in front of them was almost identical to the scene where the "Anda Priests" gathered their scepters!
For the people of Distel, allusions about the cult of "Theseus" are repeated almost every day, the story of "the priest of Anda sacrificed himself to connect three vipers to forge a scepter" has even been heard countless times by children, the murals and sculptures on the streets and alleys are closely related to these stories, and even every time they participate in the festival, they will try to get to the front row, proud to be able to kiss the priest's robe holding the scepter that symbolizes the "pit viper's kiss"...
And this is where the title "Priest of the Scepter" comes from, and Eudora once held such a role.
But everybody knows it's fakes and stories.
However, they had just experienced the devastating blow of the dragon's spell yesterday, and they were severely injured and dying and were restored by their divine powers, even those who were not firm in their beliefs were full of worship for the god of the "Shutes" sect at this time.
Now that they saw Sally and the three giant pit vipers, they didn't suspect anything at all, and they all thought of her as the embodiment of the Anda priesthood.
"That..."
Sally has not faced the people who salute her, after all, she is the monarch of the Karen Kingdom, but she has never encountered this kind of scene of worshipping herself as a "god". At this time, Sally didn't know what to do, and looked at Roddy for help.
The latter suddenly thought of something, whispered a few words to her, Sally thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then released a "holy light spell", filling the room with a soft light.
Roddy next to him stood behind Sally like a waiter, and said in a loud voice: "The messenger of God has come to the world, she has saved the city of Dis, and she has saved the entire Tuke people—she is the embodiment of the Anda priest, and she is the embodiment of the will of the gods—in ten days, the temple of Marhalla will reappear in the world under the power of the gods, bring this news to more people, and everyone can approach the temple on that day and bask in the glory of the true god and receive blessings..."
Roddy said these words in a pretentious manner, and Akasha, Nata, and Melinthera covered their mouths and laughed when they heard it - after all, "pretending to be a god" is really a strong contrast for the prime minister of a country...
They were used to seeing Roddy seriously, but now they talked about "the devil's invasion of the country of Eskar" seriously, and preached that "the incarnation of the Anda priest is the savior", and the people who knelt on the ground were stunned, and in the end they all wept bitterly, and shouted gratitude that "it was the gods who saved us".
At this point, Merinthera and others also guessed Roddy's intentions - for religious states, this method was obviously more effective than simple military conquest, and the effect of rule was also more solid.
Roddy said that his mouth was dry, and when he saw that it was almost over, he drove the boss and the others outside and asked them to spread the information.
"Hey, forgot to let them cook. ”
When he walked back, Luo Di remembered that the boss had just knocked over the dinner plate and the food he had prepared fell to the ground. He patted his head, and simply went to the back kitchen to prepare a few meals - after all, he had lived alone for a long time, and with the help of spells, he simply processed the ingredients, and used his magic tentacles to carry seven or eight dinner plates to the hall, he said while plating: "I don't know what kind of eggs are in the back kitchen, and the camel fat tastes a little fishy. What, what's wrong?"
Because Roddy found that the table in front of him suddenly fell silent.
"I just didn't expect that Lord Roddy, the 'servant of God', the Prime Minister of the Karen Kingdom, and the owner of the 'Viper's Kiss', would even cook it himself—hey, this meal is worth it. ”
After saying that, she laughed out loud, then shook her head and picked up the baked crispy dough, "clicked" a bite, and raised her eyebrows: "Not bad!"
"Eat it hot, it tastes bad when it's cold. ”
Luo Di smiled, seeing that they silently began to bow their heads to eat, and always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he had to hurry up and say: "There is still a lot of work to be done, I really can't hold it anymore, I'll go to sleep first." ”
"Are you tired, are you going to do what we need to do next?"
Sally asked.
"Wait for the army to come, there shouldn't be anything to worry about on Eudora's side. But I'll have to arrange some guards, and after the hotel owner spreads the word, I guess a lot of people will come here to worship..."
Saying that, Roddy got up and went outside, and as soon as he left, Nata, who had not moved, suddenly raised her hand to take a cake again, and ate Roddy's scrambled eggs.
Merinthera rolled her eyes silently, and without saying a word, she took another cake, and gnawed happily.
"It's delicious..."
When Eudora opened her eyes, she felt dizzy. Glancing at the horizon, it seemed that it was almost dawn in the early hours of the morning.
It took her a long time to realize that she had "slept" - after the battle ended the night before, Eudora did not rest from beginning to end the next day, and was busy until it was close to midnight, so she couldn't hold on to find an armchair and curled up for a while, but she didn't expect to sleep until now.
However, seeing her subordinates guarding the door, she estimated that there should be no accidents.
Here I have to mention Eudora's own coordination ability... Don't look at her age, but she was born in the army, and her ability to lead soldiers to fight was perfectly played when the city implemented "control", because of proper management and deterrence in place, most of the residents who fled out of the country had returned to their places all day, and there was no more chaos, and they all stayed at home honestly at this time and did not dare to go out.
However, for Udora, her work has only begun now: the dragons have not restored all the damaged buildings, and the death of most of the upper echelons of the kingdom has also made many of the outer city boundaries "borderlands", and many middle-level priests have already secretly tried to take advantage of it, but now the situation is undecided, they are still just sending people to hang around, and those who are closer to Eudora have begun to line up at the door to "discuss".
But she didn't dare to meet these people at all, and the Windsor priests, who were "temporary subordinates", also didn't have the courage to do so - the two actually saw clearly that this catastrophe was not as simple as "power shuffling", but the beginning of the entire kingdom changing hands and the country was likely to fall into boundless suffering.
As the middle layer, they seem to maintain their status now, but in fact they are walking on thin ice, who knows if they will be exposed to the wild tomorrow like those guys hanging in the outer city?
