Section 32: Oath-taking

Just when Tie Slag and Muyu Lily of the Valley were communicating, in the largest and most prosperous city in the Far East, in Tiandu, Biqinglan took over the city's top commercial center "Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion", leading the sisters to shop collectively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The event will last for three days and three nights, and the blue army will be divided into three batches, each group of about 1,000 people, and enter in separate periods.

For a time, the shopping mall of Nuoda was full of slender figures, some were printing a long list of zeros on the try-on labels, some were picking fruits that had just been flown in from all over the world, some were eating ice cream, and some were drinking coffee. Although they all look exactly the same, and their height and body shape are roughly the same, they have different expressions and temperaments. Some are pure and lovely, delicate and beautiful, some are charming and moving, some are seductive, some are energetic and smiling like flowers, and some are calm and full of anger. All kinds of styles are different, even if you look at the same face, you will not feel aesthetic fatigue and tiredness.

At this moment, if a sour literati sees it, they will definitely sigh with emotion: "The so-called scenery should be like this." ”

At this time, thousands of kilometers away from them, in Yujing, the largest city of the Horned Rhino Clan, Qin Ke'er was pushing a cart and taking his younger brothers and sisters through a dazzling array of goods.

"Sister, I want that dress." The fourth sister of the Qin family pointed to a dress and begged.

"No, it's too expensive." Qin Ke'er glanced at the label and refused.

"Wow!" The fourth sister screamed.

"Sister, I want to eat pistachios." The little brother of the Qin family looked at the imported snacks on the shelves with bright eyes.

"No, it's too expensive." Qin Ke'er refused without thinking about it, and then added, "If you want to buy roasted peanuts, the taste is the same." ”

"Sister, you lied to me." The little brother suddenly shouted with a sad face.

"By the way, sister, when is my brother-in-law coming?" The fourth sister suddenly asked.

"Yes, yes, when is my brother-in-law coming!" The younger brother echoed excitedly. In their impression, the brother-in-law is a rich man and will not be as slamming as the third sister.

"He's a big guy, he's busy." Qin Ke'er said.

"Is it a big official? How big an official is that? Is there a second dog and his father's official university? The younger brother asked repeatedly.

"Xiaohu, compared to our brother-in-law, that's not an official." The fourth sister said.

"Wow!" The younger brother opened his mouth wide.

"Okay, okay, don't listen to your fourth sister's nonsense, there are ......" Qin Ke'er straightened her face and said, "Don't tell people about your brother-in-law, you know?" ”

"Well, Xiaohu doesn't say it." The younger brother nodded vigorously and agreed.

"Xiaohu is good, sister will buy you boiled peanuts to eat~" "Didn't you say that roasted peanuts were good?" "That's hot, it's good to eat and cook~" "Wow ......" "I won't buy it if I call it again." "Uh, sister said to buy whatever she wanted."

A few hours later, at eight o'clock in the evening of the Feast of the Gods, in the territory of the Lombal family, known as the Golden Triangle, in the northern plains of the Northern Wilderness Continent, in the palace of Bauhinia City, the seventeenth silver city, the New Year's ball had just begun.

There is an endless stream of well-dressed and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies. Celebrities from all walks of life, powerful and wealthy businessmen, mayors and generals, rising stars, or wearing dresses, shining leather shoes, or neatly dressed and full of medals, have handed invitations to the butler and entered the magnificent hall.

At this moment, in the princess's bedroom above the main hall, Yugo Lombard, dressed in knight's light armor, was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror inlaid with gold and precious stones, retracting the slender blade of his sword into a white leather scabbard embellished with gold patterns.

This is her sword, the Silver Thorn, forged over a period of three years by nine master craftsmen of the Lombal family, using a portion of the Eden's Power Furnace. After being injected with spiritual energy, it is extremely sharp, like a starlight on a cold night, which can be called an "artifact".

In contrast to the "holy artifact", which symbolizes religious power and faith, the artifact exists as a weapon. For example, the Holy Sword, Holy Shield, Holy Cross, the upper part of the Book of Shingon in the Temple, the lower part of the Book of Truth in the Notre Dame, the Staff of Life in the Ancient Temple, and the Thunder War Hammer in the Temple of Glory are all holy weapons. The elegy of the sky of the rainy lily of the valley, the attachment of the deep sea of Robin Silo, the weeping of the earth of the Red Warrior Saint, the silver thorn of You Ge, the glorious scepter of St. Augustine Maudleton, the golden staff of the moon prayer, and the moon shadow dancer are all weapons made of the cylinder material of the power furnace of Eden, and can exert great power after being infused with spiritual energy.

In fact, all psionic melee weapons are imitations of artifacts, but the conversion rate of psionic energy is different. The conversion rate of low-level psionic weapons is usually around eighty-five percent, while those of high-level can reach one hundred and fifty percent, and artifacts can reach three hundred percent, or even higher.

"Your Royal Highness, ...... you," Eva behind her, while putting on her short red cloak, hesitated, "Have you made up your mind?" ”

"Hmm." You Ge responded.

"Do you want to ...... I mean...... Do you want to think about it for a while......" Eva asked cautiously, as if she was afraid of saying something wrong and angering the other party.

"Assistant Green, I've already made a decision, so ......" You Ge said in a deep voice, without a trace of expression on his fair face, "Please respect my choice." ”

"That'...... Okay......" Eva sighed and fastened the gold clasp on Yuge's cloak and shoulder armor. Then, she straightened her hair, straightened her clothes, then took a deep breath, stood in front of You Ge, and said with a solemn expression, "Your Highness Princess, I will follow in your footsteps. ”

"It's my choice, it's none of your business." You Ge looked at her and said without emotion.

"Your Royal Highness, please respect my choice." Eva said solemnly.

"Tell me, why?" You Ge slowed his voice and asked.

"I don't want to be a tool for family marriages......" Eva said calmly, looking at the princess in front of her, "that's all." "In the beginning, she just saw him as a competitive game, a game that wasn't left out. If they can all play the game, why can't she?

However, when the game ended, she gradually discovered that she could no longer play the same game with others, even if it was just acting.

"Since ......," You Ge closed his eyes and said, "you have made up your mind, then we will be sisters from now on." "I'm no longer your princess, and you're no longer my assistant." ”

"Yes, my princess." Eva replied.

More than ten minutes later, the dance began.

"I hope you can have a good time tonight." The Grand Duke of Gold gave a short speech and gave up his position to You Ge.

Looking at the pair of eyes full of anticipation at the bottom of the stairs, You Ge exhaled slowly, his lips opened lightly, and said, "Friends, comrades, elders......"

"I am Yugo Lombal Modleton, the princess of the Golden Triangle, the owner of Atlantic City, the miracle of the Temple."

"I am here today and I want you to testify for me......"

The moment he heard this, You Jiawen's face changed drastically, his lips squirmed, and he wanted to pounce to stop it, but it was too late......

"I will take refuge in the embrace of the true God and become a judge."

You Ge looked at the statue of the god Sur on the right side of the main hall, his expression was solemn, and the clear and bright voice echoed in the hall of Nuo and reached everyone's ears.

The hall was suddenly silent, and after a long period of silence, the audience was in an uproar!

After thousands of years of development, in the contest of human nature and faith, the temple, like Notre Dame and the temple, divided the clergy into two types, namely "ordinary clergy" and "judges".

In everyday life, ordinary clergy are no different from normal people, they can marry and have children, and they have wealth.

The judge, on the other hand, must take three vows, namely, no wealth, no desire, and no heirs.

There are three organizations in the temple, the Presbyterian Church, the Church, and the Inquisition.

The Council of Elders is made up of ordinary clergy and has supreme decision-making power, but correspondingly, the Pope also has the final veto power.

The Templar is an organization of the Iron Guard, loyal to the papal throne according to ancient traditions.

The Inquisition was the key to maintaining faith in the true God and had the command of the Templar Crusaders.

For thousands of years, not all popes have joined the Inquisition, but only the presiding judge of the Inquisition could mobilize the Templar Crusaders. Therefore, almost every generation of popes has also served as presiding judge. Otherwise, he would be a "false pope" without the support of the Templar Crusaders.

But in order to ensure the interests of the great nobles, many popes were halfway monks. For example, You Ge's maternal grandfather first started a family, married a wife and had children, and then gave up all rights and property, swore an oath to join the Inquisition, and then ascended the throne as the pope.

If the Golden Archduke or St. Augustine Maudreton had thought, they would wait for Youge to give birth to offspring and it was clear that she would be the next pope before they would consider her joining the Inquisition.

And You Ge swore an oath now, which means that even if she has children in the future, she can only be an illegitimate child and has no legal inheritance. It also means that even if she can't become pope, she must keep her oath, otherwise she will be ruined.

Looking at his daughter's resolute expression, the golden duke's eyes were slightly red, and he trembled all over, almost unable to help himself.

"I will never marry, leave no inheritance, and never have children, but serve the true God with all my heart......"

A clear voice lingers in the dome of the main hall, cruising among the ancient frescoes, and spreads far away.

"Why...... Why the hell ......" You Jiawen muttered to himself, staggering towards the inner hall, the tall back, unspeakably sad and lonely.

A few minutes later, the music was remembered again, and the ladies and gentlemen walked onto the dance floor and danced a romantic light dance.
