207, Sage Fayol
The bizarre and bizarre Talos presented in the Seven-Day Bible was prepared for a long time, whether it was the initial warnings of Urban I in his diary or the examples of tragic deaths, all of which speak of its peculiarities and mysterious dangers.
But when two legendary mages from the Third Arcane Empire died a few minutes earlier after reading the little stories on parchment, there was a moment when he still felt a trace of fear, a fear of the unknown born from the depths of his heart.
They were two legendary mages who were in the same rank as him—Talos knew that even if he didn't fully grasp the fifth-order abilities now, he could easily deal with the fourth-order—the top professionals who could immediately catch everyone's attention wherever they were placed, except for the Epic Knight, Destiny Warlock, Legendary Mage, or Heavenly Gods of the same rank, no one could threaten their lives, but without exception, they died very simply.
The female mage died of the Necromantic Faction Dissociation, who died of the Elemental Faction Fire Elementalization - not burned to death by fire, but assimilated into the fire element, moving from matter to element.
But on the other hand, this particular mystery and danger gives Talos the confidence to solve his current predicament and avoid the fight of the trapped beasts.
Class system differences aren't fundamental to immunity to the Seven-Day Bible, and since legendary mages aren't immune, Pope Victor I, Epic Knights, and Ascetics aren't exempt, and Talos doesn't feel like they're eligible to be exceptional.
After making up his mind, Talos put on a multi-weapon defensive stance and recited aloud, making sure that even in the heat of the battle, the three of them would not miss a word: "At that time, the old lion saw a herd of hyenas, hunters of the steppe, catching sheep......"
Only the three fifth-order deaths in the Campo de la Campo d'Écaucus were able to leave, as for the others who heard the Seven-Day Bible under his loud recitation......
For the most part, Talos wasn't much different from other normal people, especially when the Death's Messenger in the mask of the Death Bird invited him, and all he could think about was himself, unless he had more.
What's more, it is difficult for Talos to show sympathy and mercy for the enemy.
Under the guarded gaze of the six-armed Naga, Victor I stood far away with the scepter in hand, and the Epic Knights and Ascetics outflanked him left and right, but did not launch a stormy attack as Talos had expected, which made him more confident about what to do next.
He needed time to recite the Seven Days Bible in its entirety.
"The lion said to them, 'Blessed are you, so fate is you.'" Come, follow me, and I will tell you to shepherd the sheep. ’”
When the second sentence of this seven-day Bible echoed in the Flower Square, the six-armed Naga suddenly felt his scalp tingle, shuddered, and almost exclaimed, for the simple reason that the person who pronounced the second sentence was not him, nor was it any one of Victor I, the Epic Knights, or the Ascetics, but from the fourth person, whom he had not perceived since the beginning.
There are other people in the world who know the Seven-Day Bible, and it's in the Temple of Order and Knights!
The shock and surprise were replaced by fear, a very different fear from the threat of death, indescribable and creepy, and this unexpected surprise forced Talos to turn his head to confirm one thing, which was the direction from which the voice was coming - that he had no time to care if the three of Victor I would take the opportunity to attack him.
I don't know when it started, but behind the six-armed Naga stood a man - Talos could be sure that there was absolutely no one else behind him when Sandra and Helena left - it was a handsome middle-aged man with a hearty smile, just like the bright smile of the heroes when they returned from defeating the demon queen in the story, with two mustaches that ordinary people could not handle, looking at Talos with interest.
He was of standard human stature, well-proportioned, not skinny but definitely not athletic, about six feet and three inches tall, but when he looked at Talos, the six-armed Naga couldn't help but have a strange illusion: as the taller one, he was being looked down on.
There were several loud explosions in his mind, and something that Talos had seen on the magic web in his memory gradually overlapped with the middle-aged man in front of him, and the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary person at all, but Fayol, the god of order and knights!
The most important thing that cannot be ignored is that the appearance of the middle-aged man is exactly the same as the idol enshrined in each Temple of Order and Knights, which means that the God of Order and Knight did not descend to the earth through the container god this time, but a more clever and more god-consuming way, the Sage form!
In the form of the sage, the bodies of the gods are purely composed of divine power, in the form of energy, not flesh and blood, so they have no weaknesses such as heads, throats, and hearts, and they will not suffer fatal wounds.
Of course, if the fifth-order people who were interested in God Slaughter formed a group and cooperated to successfully overthrow a god's sage form, they would definitely gain a lot.
"So the hyenas immediately followed him, shepherded the sheep, and offered them every day—do you want to use this seven-day Bible of my work against my godly servants on the earth?" said the middle-aged man, looking at Talos.
Although Talos knew that his physical fitness had been greatly improved and his body organs had been further strengthened and even evolved when he was promoted to the fifth order, at this time, his brain was still almost down because of the other party's smiling words.
The god of order and knighthood not only knows the Seven-Day Bible, but is also the author of the Seven-Day Bible!!
No, the author of "At that time, the old lion saw a herd of hyenas ...... to be exact"!
Before today, Talos had pondered many times about the origin of the Seven-Day Bible and who created it, but it definitely did not include the powerful divine power of the god of order and knighthood.
The impossible becomes possible.
Time and circumstances did not allow Talos to think more, and he blurted out as he opened the inner world: "Lions eat sheep-"
Faced with the encirclement of the three fifth-order orders of the Order and the Knight Temple, Talos had just thought of three ways to break the game: the best way is not to consume any of his energy or physical strength to borrow the power of the Seven Days Bible, followed by the anger mode + divine power mode, a quick solution, and the last resort is to enter the inner world immediately and hide from it.
As a last resort, there is naturally a last resort, Talos entered the inner world in the Flower Square, and when he came out, he would still appear in the power base of the Temple of Order and Knights, and he couldn't hide for a while.
But now, Talos couldn't find a better way, and he didn't care about how to leave the square of the Great Temple of Audrey in the future, so he could only hope that he could finish reading the last sentence of the Seven Days Bible at the moment he entered the inner world, and drag the three of Victor I into the water.
He was no match for the gods of order and knighthood, even if it was only in the form of a sage in front of him.
In the face of Talos's movements, the god of order and knights stood still, but his smile became brighter, and his body naturally bloomed with a golden soft brilliance, and a special force field exclusive to the gods instantly covered the flower square and even the city called Carthala.
Then, both the movement and the space froze under the shroud of golden light.
The last impression left on Talos was that the fog that had just rolled out behind him had recoiled along the same trajectory as before, and that the last verse of the Seven-Day Bible had barely been said before it was forcibly suspended.
When the six-armed Naga came back to his senses with the help of the soul fire, he found that his body was flying in the air under a burst of golden light, constantly soaring, flying towards the outer plane.
Next to him, the god of order and knighthood, who was still smiling heartily, looked Talos up and down, as if he was carefully observing a priceless treasure, and finally, his gaze stayed on Talos's head, and his gaze changed from gentle to sharp in line with his smile, as if he was about to rip out the soul fire from the six-armed Naga's head in the next second.
Urban I once mentioned that several powerful divine powers covet the power of soul fire, and the god of order and knights is indeed extremely concerned, as a powerful divine power, he did not completely leave the matter of "capturing Talos" to the Temple of Order and Knights, but simply appeared in the main material plane in the form of a saint after learning the news.
Sensing that Talos came to his senses, the God of Order and Knights said, "This is the third time we have met, Talos. ”
The first time was in the treasure space of Urban I on the Black Dragon Island, where the god of order and knights descended on the bloodline knight Armand with a will, the second time was obviously the palm that Talos encountered when he crossed the dragon passage in Universe 0 before, and the third time was now.
In the eyes of the God of Order and Knights, what he stated may be just a simple fact, but it is bad news for Talos, this situation is clearly the [Plural Uniqueness] mentioned by Urban I, otherwise he and the God of Order and Knights of Universe No. 2 met for the first time, fortunately, he had speculated about this before, and the God of Order and Knights just now admitted that he was the author of one of the seven "Seven-Day Bibles", so he was not too shocked.
"It's over. Talos thought dejectedly.
He had always thought that he had enough hole cards on his body, but now he was only facing an insignificant Sage form of the God of Order and Knights, and he was defeated without the slightest ability to resist.
"What to do, what to do, what to do?" Talos racked his brains to find a way.
"Don't waste your efforts, we'll be in the Heavenly Kingdom of Order in about three seconds. The god of order and knights probably guessed what the six-armed Naga was thinking, leaned forward to look at Naga, and let out a low laugh in his throat, "When the time comes, the soul fire will be me-"
Before the words fell, a bright moon fell from the sky.
