Chapter 220: Cleansing (I)

Tarsha City, one of the three main cities, covers an area of 50 square kilometers.

The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon were both turned into temples to David, the Lord of Light.

Of the other 30 pyramids, eight became temples of the eight gods, and the other pyramids and altars began to be cleaned up and turned into sub-temples of the Lord of Light.

As for the 200 altars, they were also distributed to the gods depending on the situation.

In other words, this city has become the base of the new god system.

The city of Tasha controls a fertile area within 100 kilometers of the vicinity, with an ancient central square as its core, stone avenues connecting the large pyramid temples and the royal palace with its reliefs.

Hamish made his way to the pyramid, where he was now the head of the Templar Order and had received a fertile piece of land outside the city.

Although the room of the pyramid is actually dark and narrow, as soon as you enter, you will feel the golden holy power, although it is sacred, it is not indifferent, the holy light is slightly warm in winter, slightly cool in summer, and has a fragrance like grass dew.

Although it had been ten years, Hamish was very moved every time he came to this temple of strong holy power, as if he was showering in the purest and clearest light, without the slightest aggression.

In the antechamber of the shrine, a young girl prayed to a small idol: "O Lord of Radiance, your light is pure and immaculate, and there is no sin in it, and you say to us, Blessed is he who believes and does good......

Her voice was low, but it echoed in the temple, in front, on the altar and the statue, from time to time there was a flash of golden light, and the feeling of both morning and moonlit night filled the entire temple, which even made Hamish feel a slight dizziness, which was the radiation of holy power.

Seeing this, he was even a little jealous, the bloodline left over by the previous Sun God God was different, she was now a fourth-level priest.

When she stood up, Hamish saluted her: "Princess Orlin." ”

Orrin nodded slightly, got up, and said, "Please call me Priest Orrin." ”

After a pause, he said, "On behalf of my father, I donate a piece of land to the temple, with an area of 50 ishahs. ”

"Thank you very much, I think my God will praise you for your piety and glory, and for the good deeds of the royal family!" "But you don't have to tell me, don't forget, God has said that a priest who has attained the fifth order is a proxy high priest, and you are only one step away from this, and you can organize the church in advance." ”

Isha is a land unit in the city, 1 isha is about 100 acres, and 50 isha is 5,000 acres of land, which is also a considerable wealth.

For an otherworldly being like God, money and wealth are meaningless. But for the church, survival, development, and promotion of faith are absolutely inseparable from the support of money and land.

Having received some divine knowledge and ten years of rule, Hamish has been reborn as a fallen warrior.

In retrospect, who would have thought that one mission to accompany a trade route would lead to the encounter with the Lord of Radiance?

Hamish saw through the royal family's panic and uneasiness.

According to some old temple records of the sun god, when the gods are transformed, the original gods will be exterminated and sacrificed to the new gods, but this time it is an exception, and the new god of the sun and moon, David, known as the Lord of Radiance, did not publish such a parable.

But other cities may be able to ignore the new gods and continue to worship the old sun god, but this Tasha city, witnessing the fall of the sun god and feeling some magical power in the royal bloodline, gradually disappeared, making the royal family soberly realize that their ancestral god has indeed fallen.

Not only that, but the kings of the other city-states and the Sun Virgin also felt the loss of power, and only the Sun Virgin, who had already inspired divinity, was not greatly affected

However, the new Lord of Radiance, unfathomable, has only issued a few basic oracles.

First of all, it is obvious to announce the fall of the sun god and the moon god and inherit it himself.

Second, the formation of a new court of gods was announced, and a list of legitimate gods was issued.

Thirdly, it was proclaimed that blood sacrifices were forbidden, and in exchange for daily prayers, one could be chosen in the early morning, noon, dusk, or at the beginning of the month, the middle of the month, or the setting of the moon.

Eventually, the priesthood was no longer hereditary, but was held by a person who was approved by the gods to practice the way of the gods, and the priesthood was used as proof of priesthood (by the way, the establishment of the Templar Order was announced, and Hamish served as it)

As for the new doctrine, it is just a few simple words, in a word, the general precepts of light, harmony, purity, and order, and the rest is only for the believers to grope for themselves, and what is approved by God will be added to the holy scriptures one after another.

When Orrin heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, but she said, "How dare I do this, even according to the laws of God, I have to reach the sixth level before I can take charge of a city of priests." ”

God ordained that the sixth-rank priest could serve as the presiding priest, and in the absence of other senior clergy in the church, she was the supreme priest who nominally ruled over the entire church.

When Hamish thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, in this case, the era of his joint administration with the priests would be over.

But he still took the paperwork engraved on the clay tablet, which is the evidence.

Fang Xin did not change the king, and did not rise to social reform.

It did only two things, the first was to purify the divine power and give it to the believers with this pure divine power, and the second was to reform its own church

The former priests were all supported by a certain salary, but they lost their qualifications to represent the divine right, and those who did not accept it were punished with death

The income from the land granted was mainly for the maintenance and maintenance of the pyramid temples, followed by a fixed salary and housing for the priests and samurai.

Of course, cooperation with the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture is also essential.

50 Isha O Isha by now, the royal family has donated up to 2,000 Isha land to the Church in the past ten years, which is more than enough to maintain the present number of clergy and soldiers

Of course, in return, the church also supported the royal family at every turn, stabilizing the city.

After Orlin and Hamish settled, Hamish said, "Wait a minute, the church has a mission to get your support. ”

"It's my pleasure." Orlin said as she was interrupted by a knock on the door, and as she called in, the hall door opened and a man appeared.

"Greetings, Jeffern, Commander." He greeted the seated man politely and bowed, "I've seen Priest Orrin!" ”

Orrin looked intently at the man, who had discarded the pattern on his face and the feather, and was wearing a robe decorated with the robes of the Lord of Radiance, and inside was an expensive armor.

This is the standard equipment of the Holy Warrior of God, and this Jeffern, without a doubt, is the standard model of it.

"Gefern, how is the Templar training?" Hamish asked.

"Commander, there are now twenty-three people who have fulfilled the requirements of the gods and obtained the approval of the gods, and there are two hundred warriors who have been prepared." Jeffern said.

"Well, after ten years of silence, you should attack on behalf of the gods, you don't care about anything, as long as you patrol in Tasha City and the nearby control area, and wipe out all the people and families who dare to sneak in the blood sacrifice!" Hamish said solemnly, and then turned to Orlin: "I also hope you can lead the team in this operation." ”

After ten years of silence, did you finally do it?

Orlin secretly gasped, she knew that although many families were under strict orders, they still sacrificed to the blood of the old gods, contrary to the gods, and this time it was a massacre.

As for asking Orlin to lead the team, this is both a test and a reward.

Orlin immediately responded: "Of course, it's my responsibility. ”

After that, she asked, "How many people can I bring?" ”

"You can take half of our current priests, a total of twenty, and of course, if you are willing to involve your army, this is perfectly fine." Hamish replied meaningfully.

When he retreated and arrived in the square, he realized that the twenty-three holy warriors were all wearing armor

In the back, two hundred Templars were already on standby, wearing only leather armor.

Outside, Orlin was completely calmed down.

The height she was in, as well as her bloodline, made many things different from others, and she was now a fourth-level priest and was able to directly feel how strong the power of God really was.

She also knows that now her god wants to make an example to the world, and she also understands the royal family's position on this matter.

She first ordered one of her attendants to quickly return to report to the king, and ordered: "Call my warriors for me, and I want them all to appear before me in half an hour." ”

While waiting, Orrin put on a full female priestly dress and put on the emblem of the gods.

At this time, a large number of priests also came up, and most of them were newly cultivated priests.

Under the sun, the armor and swords shone sharply, and after a while, a large group of warriors belonging to her also rushed over, and the entire scale suddenly expanded to about 350 people.

Although Geoffern is the actual leader, she is nominally the supreme leader, so Orlyn walked up to the crowd and said, "Today, we will punish those who are disrespectful for God's sake!" ”

This sentence did not stir up any waves, only made those Templars show excited looks.

Geoffern stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Priest, we are warriors of the gods, so we should act according to the will of the gods and obey your commands!" ”

After this set was completed, the group went out.

When they arrived on the street, pedestrians all looked sideways and avoided it.

In fact, the target list has long been determined, how can those families who secretly sacrifice blood hide from the priests and gods?

It's just that it's not necessary to kill them all, pick the main ones to attack, and create enough terror and deterrence, and that's it.
