Chapter 526: Untouchable Lovers (27)

A thin layer of black gas lingered between their eyebrows, their eyes were tightly closed, and their lips were pursed hard, showing a bloodless pale.

It is not difficult to tell who these people are from their clothing, the accessories on their chests, and the staff they hold.

There are ten coffins in total, which happens to be the ten high priests of the Temple of Light for thousands of years.

It is not difficult to tell from the faces of the people in the coffins that they have passed the time.

The high priest, whose face was the most black, and whose face was slightly darkened, had been dead for nearly a thousand years.

And in the coffin closest to dill, there was only a thin layer of black gas on his face, and his face was still only pale and pale, and he was probably not more than a hundred years old.

Earlier, while looking through those books, Dill had come across news about the sixth high priest of the Temple of Light.

It is about the fact that more than ten years ago he was traveling around the world, spreading the light and righteousness.

However, in the coffin, judging by the body of the sixth high priest placed in the coffin, he has been dead for more than 400 years.

How can a man who has been dead for more than 400 years still appear in the world more than a decade ago?

Dill thought back to what she had seen earlier about the Temple of Light.

In the Temple of Light, in addition to the clergy such as high priests and priests, there is also the temple elders.

It is said that the magicians of the first Elders' Order were the people who founded the Temple of Light.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the number of magicians in the elder group is not much, not less, and it happens to be ten.

Although the High Priest is the supreme leader of the Temple of Light, the ten mages in the Council of Elders also play a pivotal role in the day-to-day affairs of the Temple.

Unlike the rule that high priests are elected every 100 years, the mages in the Elder Body are for life.

No one knew the age of the ten magicians in the original Elders, and no one knew how many generations had changed over the course of a thousand years.

Unlike the election of the High Priest, which is completely open to the majority of light mages, the replacement of the Elders is more like a secret matter, tightly guarded, for fear of being known by others.

The wizards of the Elder Order rarely appear in public, and even when they do, they wrap themselves from head to toe in tight white robes, covering even their faces with a thick white cloth.

Therefore, no one, including the previous high priests, has ever seen the true face of this group of elders. They are like mysterious people living in a black box, hiding their origins, their age, and their appearance.

There have also been mages who have questioned the existence of the Elder Order, and have expressed doubts about their unrevealing behavior.

But for some reason, every time these questions were raised, they were refuted by the righteous words of the high priest at the time.

Each High Priest seems to have had such a deep trust in the mages of the Elder Order that no one could afford to doubt them in the slightest.

Even the high priests had not seen the faces of the elders, nor did they know the operating mechanism behind them.

At that time, when Dill saw this description, she had doubts about the actions of the high priest.

Trust between people is never without reason, and only by exchanging sincerity for sincerity can trust last.

And like the High Priest and the Presbytery
