Chapter 196: Desert Temple
The position of the leader of the Putsu tribe in the original Batko Empire was the governor of Bute, which was originally used by the first monarch of Batko to limit and centralize power, and was appointed by the emperor, but in the later period, it has basically been reduced to the responsibility of the local tribal leaders.
There is also the original rotation system, which has become a lifelong system and a inheritance system, but it is not the death of the father and the son, but the brother and the brother, but after the collapse of the Batco Empire, the entire Batco region has returned to the tribal era, and the governor's palace has been built several times, and it has become like a royal palace, or it can be said that the Putsu clan is itself the royal family of the small kingdom in this area.
Inside the palace, the walls are covered with colorful frescoes depicting the gods and sacrifices, and the leaders of the Pusut tribe can be seen in a meeting to discuss the affairs that fall under the control of the Pusut tribe.
Immediately, someone asked a question about the oracle: "I don't know if you have heard of the messenger of the god of the desert that appeared recently?" ”
The leaders of several other affiliated small tribes and some nobles of the Pusut clan disagreed: "This is under the management of the Desert God Temple, the divine power and sacrifices belong to them, and the land and population belong to us, this is a contract we have signed a long time ago!" ”
This place does not belong to the Church of Light area, there is basically no such existence as miracles and priestesses, and there is no cohesion and influence of the unified faith of the Church of Light, religion and belief here are complicated, except for the commoners, the piety of the upper nobles to the faith is incomparable with that of the Church of Light area.
However, many people also expressed awe: "That is the person who truly demonstrates the existence of miracles, and it is a person with the power of God!" ”
After arguing, the leader spoke: "Let the high priest deal with it, and as for whether it is a messenger of the gods, it is up to them to prove it!" ”
Compared with the Doge's Palace, the temple of the god of the desert is luxurious and atmospheric, and the area is several times larger, the temple is located in the south, the tall palace and stone pillars are carved with a large number of beast-headed monsters, and even the passage through the gate into the temple has a three-meter-high, rows of kneeling figures.
The gorgeous gate inside is also inlaid with jade and precious stones, and the statue inside the temple is a monster with snake hair, this is the legendary god of the desert, if Lu Zhiyu comes to take a look, it will feel a little familiar, this monster is exactly the same as the monster he created in the early days - the gorgon.
The Batco region is rich in gold, but after hundreds of years of mining, the gold mines that are easy to mine are gradually exhausted, but this tall statue of the god is made of gold throughout, and with the extravagant style of various places in the temple, you can know how much manpower, material resources and money were spent to build this desert temple.
And a large number of non-productive and extravagant sacrificial monks will extract a lot of wealth and taxes from ordinary people every year, and these poor people who do not have enough to eat are still willing to give everything they have to send to the temple, but they are wantonly wasted by those sacrifices.
At this moment, in the lounge of the side hall of the temple, the high priest of the desert temple, Hatton, was in a rage at this moment, and the rumors circulating in the city were very unfavorable to the desert temple, but for him, it was even more unfavorable.
There is an oracle, so where should he, the high priest of the desert temple, be, his authority and ability to control the sacrifice and the interpretation of the will of the gods, will be dealt a strong blow, if the entire lower people and nobles of the Pusut believe that damn liar is the so-called oracle, then what do you want him, the high priest of the desert temple, to do?
What made High Priest Hatton even more angry was that not only the commoners, but also a large number of nobles even believed in the identity of the other oracle, and even within the desert church, some priests secretly went to the residence of the oracle to pray and bow.
As time passed, various legends continued to spread in the city, and the more people believed that this was true, and the three of them became tigers, then the whole city was saying that it was true, what kind of situation would it be.
"Damn liar, I am the spokesperson of the gods, the administrator of the human world chosen by the gods of the desert, and only I can represent the authority of the gods."
"That guy is a blasphemer, a demon sent by the evil gods to try to divide us!"
Hatton was a fat man rarely seen in Batko, his face still had the color of some of the northern Cretan Empire races, and at this moment his chubby body, fat face seemed to be able to flow out of the fat was shaking, and he shouted loudly and angrily.
"We can no longer condone the devils sent by these evil gods, we must let them know that the brilliance of the desert god is inviolable!"
Immediately, a bald-headed priest next to him said, "Then what should we do?" The Pusut clan said that they would not interfere in our side of affairs, should we just go and arrest that liar? ”
Hart's loyal confidant on the side also said: "That's right, such a liar who defiles the divine light of the desert god must bury him alive in the sand and let him know."
Eternal life and eternal punishment by the god of the desert, and the pain of infernal purgatory in the sea of death sands. ”
Hatton was eager to go over and expose the true face of that damn liar, but he knew more than the ordinary people and these nobles in the Batko region, and there were a large number of transcendents in the far western Church of Light region.
What is called transcendental, that is beyond the bloodline and limitations, it is the power that belongs to the gods and demons, it is the elusive and untouchable existence of mortals, they have a power that mortals can't imagine, no matter how powerful ordinary people are, it is impossible to hurt them in the slightest.
Among them, the Church of Light is affiliated with saints and priests, the most powerful of which is the Divine Descendant Saintess with the blood of God, and among them there are also wizards who have stolen power from the devil, they claim to be masters of truth and witchcraft, but Hatton believes that they are the same as the Church of Light preached, and have made evil deals with the devil in exchange for the power of magic.
And Hatton guessed that the liar was probably a wizard from the West, who had mastered the existence of evil magic, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to come to the door, although he Xuancheng was the spokesman of the gods, but he knew that he was just swaggering in the name of the god of the desert, in the face of this evil and weird magic, Hatton imagined that he still felt afraid and did not dare to deal with it head-on.
Hatton thought for a moment, then pulled over a few of his most trusted henchmen and quietly made a plan, everyone kept nodding their heads and whispering.
"That's what you do, understand?"
"And you, when the time comes, announce this matter, and let the people of the entire city of Pusut know about it."
"Then I'll come forward again and promise to let that liar have no place in the city of Psuth!"
