Roddy didn't pay attention to the other party's complaints, after all, this is the capital of Rasiman, and the other party, as a magic apprentice, naturally has to sit on the "atheist" side, so it's natural to say so.

He was more curious about how the "Pit Viper's Kiss" got to the kingdom of Karen - so he interrupted the narrator's spit and asked, "So... The cult of Theses has been passed down on this continent ever since?

"That's what it's about—"

Perhaps it was because few people asked these questions on weekdays, but the magic apprentice who finally caught an audience pulled them to the temple with great interest, and after entering the main hall, Luo Di and his party suddenly saw that on the high wall, there were dense reliefs and pictures, on which the figures were vivid and vivid, and the postures were myriad, purely from an artistic point of view, compared with those Renaissance masters on the earth.

"This is a series of stories from about two hundred years ago, about the strife surrounding the scepter - well, there are too many characters, and the events are more complicated, but in the end, it is the rotten things that happened when the sect changed in full force. As for the whereabouts of the scepter you mentioned, on this relief. ”

Looking in the direction he was pointing, everyone saw the content of the relief: in the center of the picture is a magnificent temple, above which the scepter floats, and countless worshippers make sacrifices to the temple.

"After more than a dozen popes, the war caused by the scepter caused too many casualties, so the Cult of Thutes finally decided to seal the scepter with supreme divine power, and only allowed the twelve elders and the Pope to open the seal and remove the scepter together when it was needed. ”

However, the narrator's tone suddenly became playful: "But then the scepter was lost without warning, and the matter was concealed for about thirty years, until another war broke out." In order to stabilize the situation, the Pope had to forge a forged scepter - a deception that was not revealed until the Great Council of Magic recovered the city of Governor. ”

After speaking, he said disdainfully: "This religion is a hoax from beginning to end, and in my opinion, there is no 'real scepter' at all, because the power has reached that point, and you take a burning stick and say that it is an artifact, who dares to question it? When you are in pain, hesitation, and confusion, the only one who can redeem yourself is not the Lord..."

The back was a family with obvious private remarks, but at this time, Roddy, Sally and the others did not stop him from talking, because the information just now did let them understand the past and present life of the "Pit Viper's Kiss" - even if there is an element of fabrication in it, it will definitely not be nonsense.

"By the way, I see why these popes are... Women?"

Sally pointed to the relief of the Pope, dressed in a religious robe and holding a scepter, with his long hair tied up.

"Because the people who believe in the Theses religion are the Tukh people, they are a society where women are respected, in fact, there are many border areas in Rasiman that maintain certain customs, and the people in charge are mainly women. The parliament did not say that men should be honorable, and the current ethos was probably 'whoever does it' - but the Tukhs who retreated into the desert still seem to retain their traditions. ”

After saying this, Roddy, who had always been silent, suddenly narrowed his eyes, because he finally saw a prompt pop up in the "taskbar":

[The birth and disappearance of the scepter are related to the Tukh tribe, if you want to know more information, go to the Temple of Magral!]

"Where's the Temple of Magral?"

Roddy immediately asked.

"Oh, do you know the name?" the magic apprentice gave him a surprised look, and then pointed to the positions on the frescoes: "Actually, 'Magral' is a pronoun, which means 'central temple', in other words, the temple where the current Pope is located can be called 'Magral Temple'. ”

"The current temple of Magral, in... In the desert?"

"Yes, where the Tuks live, this temple is probably inside the capital - most likely in the palace of the current monarch. After all, the Tuke ****, the papal figure and the monarch are the same thing. Over the years, they have not been willing to conflict with Rasiman so that they no longer claim their 'teaching position' to the outside world. ”

At this point, Sally's face became much more solemn, and she turned her head to look at Roddy, who nodded silently, but did not speak, but gave the narrator a few more silver coins and told him to leave.

The temple was deserted, and Sally finally spoke, "Could it be... Going to the desert?"

"Yes, there is clearly a close connection between Xiutes and the Viper Cross—or rather, the Viper Cross is probably some kind of mutation of it. ”

Roddy quickly made a judgment, and Akasha next to him was stunned, as if she remembered something: "So... Inside the pit viper cross, it seems that there are indeed some strange rules for women. ”

"What rules?"

"I was chosen by them, one because I was faster at learning magic, and the other was because they said they wanted me to participate in a ceremony - and the people who attended the ceremony at that time were all women. ”

Akasha frowned and recalled that she would not normally think about these things, because the priest had been tortured for a long time by "flogging" because of the failure of the mission. But now that she could provide clues, she naturally spared no effort: "It was a very strange ritual, which was to have the believers around us and chant some scriptures, and I and the other priestesses just sat there and didn't move. ”

"They didn't say what it was for?"

"I heard a few words from those elders, it seems that they are picking some kind of 'messenger' or something..."

Roddy was stunned for a moment, as he remembered that when he was a scout, he wondered why Akasha had such a strange and bluffing title as "Angel of Death" - now that he thought about it, it probably had something to do with this ritual!

"Anyway, after that ceremony, they didn't mention it again, it seems like I failed? ”

Akasha didn't realize this, and added, "I said I always felt weird the last time I was here... If you look closely, the atmosphere, the structure and the style are all the same as those of the original buildings of the Viper Cross. ”

Roddy narrowed his eyes: "Then it seems... The person who brought the scepter over should be an insider of the Tukh sect. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to unify the style on two continents separated by the sea. ”

With a plan in his heart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If you want to go to the Tukhs, I'm afraid you have to settle the war on the border first." These days, I'm going to hurry up and prepare for the war, trying to get this battle done as soon as possible. ”

Naturally, this was for Sally, because she probably only had more than two months left.

But a war... It doesn't seem like it's going to be done in two months.
