"Me, is there still a chance?" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley asked in a low voice, and her eyes involuntarily moved to the throne that symbolized the supreme power of Notre Dame. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I only care about ......," the High Priest glanced at her and said lightly, "When will you be able to advance to the Sanctuary." ”

For a while, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley was a little dazed. From the day she made the decision to enter the Temple of Prayer for Rain, she gave up the competition and did her duty wholeheartedly, keeping the small family that once gave her warmth and protection. However, the words of the Great Priest at this moment were like an invisible big hand, setting off waves in her calm heart.

The Temple of the Moon is the head of the Temple of the Gods, the center of power of Notre-Dame, and the symbol of the faith of the gods. Compared to the other seventeen temples, she has supreme authority and the most powerful apologetic force, the Luna Guard.

Notre Dame Cathedral is the second largest organization in the entire Silver City world after the Temple, and shares core interests in mainstream society. If the world's resources are considered as a cake, then she is the one who participates in the distribution of the cake, and is the second to go under the knife.

Therefore, as long as you sit on that throne, you can change the operation of the whole world when you raise your hand and look back. But those who have tried the taste of power can hardly resist the taste that is as sweet as wine and fragrant as honey. She is like the poison of the poppy, which erodes the bone and marrow, penetrates the heart and soul, and can make people both happy and crazy.

Even the cold and indifferent goddess is no exception before this overwhelming power.

The high priest quietly looked at Mu Yu Lily of the Valley in contemplation, and gradually, he also fell into thoughts.

She loves that person deeply, and even though a hundred years have passed, she is still haunted by her dreams. In her world, he has never passed away, has always lived in her heart, accompanied her, standing on the top of the world, watching the clouds, mountains and fog, and the earth changing.

So much so that when she saw Mu Yu Lily of the Valley just now, she was shocked by that familiar breath, and she didn't distinguish between reality and dreams for a while, so she shot angrily. When she thought about it, she thought it was ridiculous. That man had been dead for almost two hundred years, his bones had turned to ashes, and she was still jealous of him. Thinking it was his child, he found another woman, a younger and more beautiful woman than her.

Her biggest regret in this life is that she failed to leave his blood. At that time, she was not brave enough, not decisive enough, and finally hesitated. Because she was afraid that his children would be like him, for that foolish belief, it broke her heart.

She didn't want to endure that pain a second time. However, when he actually left, she regretted it. If time could go back in time, she would not hesitate to throw herself into his fire, even if it burned the last feather on her body.

Looking at the girl in front of her, she seemed to see her young self, affectionate and stubborn. It's just that she is braver and more decisive than her.

Perhaps, it would be more suitable for that position than her......

"Yes...... But I'm not a source power......" After being silent for a long time, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said with a little hesitation.

"Is it really that important if it's the source of power?" The High Priest smiled and said, "For our god faith, expansion and development are not the first ......"

"How to maintain the status quo and ensure survival is our main theme." The High Priest pointed to his head and said, "If you have to choose between source power and wisdom, it must be wisdom. ”

"It's easy for me to choose between an uncertain source and a non-source force who can be determined, and has enough wisdom and piety."

"However, the voices against me are not small." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said. At least seven of the seventeen temples did not support her.

"You've got enough support, and the rest ......," said the High Priest, "just because I haven't taken a stand yet." ”

"I ...... Is it really suitable? Mu Yu Lily of the Valley asked in a muttered voice, as if she was asking someone else and herself. She had longed for that position very much, but when it came time to make a choice, she hesitated.

Because power also means responsibility. She wasn't sure if she could afford this weight that had been passed down for three thousand years.

"So I say......" the High Priest raised his head and put on a condescending attitude, "I only care about you and when you enter the Holy Order. ”

"I still need some time, at least two years." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley pondered for a moment and replied.

"Kid, we're running out of time." The High Priest reminded.

"Light rain...... I will definitely do my best......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley hesitated.

"Do your best?" The high priest wondered, then shook his head, stood up, walked outside the pool, and after putting on his robe, he said to Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, "Come on, I'll take you to see something." ”

It didn't take long for the two of them to get dressed and come to the altar in the deepest part of the temple.

It is said to be an altar, but in fact it is a simple stone platform, the whole is only more than one meter high, more than two meters wide, made of three granite stones, the surface is mottled and rotten, and there are countless scratches. In the warm candlelight, a crack could be seen that stretched across the entire countertop, but it had been patched. I have to say that it is a bit out of place in this palace of extremely luxurious materials.

However, it was this crudely made stone platform that was located in the deepest and most dignified position of the temple.

Legend has it that when the goddess of the moon descended to the world to spread knowledge, she used this stone platform.

On the stone platform is a book with a black cover, the usual dictionary-sized size.

This book is the symbol of Notre-Dame, the Book of Words, which is said to be the handwritten book left by the goddess of the moon, and the first half of it was robbed by the temple during the dark times.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley stood on the edge of the stone platform with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand the purpose of the high sacrifice, because the lower part of the book of the Word was not new to her.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" The high priest made a gesture of please.

"Is that okay?" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley confirmed again.

The high priest nodded, and Mu Yu Lily of the Valley immediately took a step back, adjusted her breathing, smoothed the hem of her clothes, and then stepped forward and opened the legendary book. So far, she has only seen it from afar, but she has never touched it.

Turning the first page, it was a never-before-seen text, made up of strange symbols, like squares and circles. Between the lines, there is an indescribable beauty.

What's even more amazing is that she hasn't studied this kind of text, but she directly understands the meaning.

The first paragraph of the opening paragraph is to the effect that this world is small and only forms part of the single universe, and beyond the single universe, there is a larger multiverse.

Each single universe has its own "space energy level", and the higher the value, the stronger the universe, and the weaker it is. Assuming that the energy level of the single universe where this world is located is x, then the energy level of the sub-higher universe is x+1, and the energy level of the sub-lower universe is x-1.

In the multiverse, the ultimate goal of species evolution is to make the leap to a single metaverse of higher energy levels......

After only looking at it for a moment, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley stopped, and although her huge curiosity tempted her, she still restrained it.

The High Priest had been watching from the sidelines, and it was not until she looked away from the book that she had a faint hint of approval. Then she stepped forward and picked up the lower part of the Book of Words, and said, "Look at ......."

As she spoke, she suddenly shook her shoulders and threw the book into the air. Immediately afterward, she spun to her feet, and at the same time drew her sword out of its sheath, and several cold rays of light "...... slash this sacred thing into pieces in the air, turning it into confetti.

During the whole process, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley just watched quietly, although she was shocked in her heart, the expression on her face did not change in the slightest.

The next moment, the confetti flying in the air suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, then spun at high speed, and finally gathered into a ball, "pop", and fell to the ground.

Looking at it, the Book of the Word was intact, as if everything just now was like a dream, so unreal.

"Strictly speaking, whether it is the Life Staff of the Temple, the Thunder Warhammer, or the Holy Sword, Holy Shield, Holy Cross of the Temple, and the first half of the Book of Words, they are not holy weapons in the true sense."

"The material of the Staff of Life is a plant called 'Populus euphratica', and the Thunder Warhammer is an ordinary masonry hammer made of 'electric magnets', which is guessed to have been brought from other planes by the wandering monk in their legend."

"As for the four holy artifacts of the temple, it's even more of a joke."

"In the more than 300 years I've been in power, they've changed twice."

"Originally, their artifacts were made of cast iron, but they had to be secretly replaced because they were rusty."

"To this day, the only thing they can do is the so-called holy sword."

"It was found in an ancient tomb in the southern cemetery eighty years ago, so it is also called the Ancient Tomb Sword."

"The material of this sword is very peculiar, and it will release seven colors of brilliance after being infused with spiritual energy, so it is also called the rainbow light sword, but the specific function, they are tightly guarded, it is estimated that it is also a scam."

"Only this book of holy words can be regarded as a holy weapon in the true sense." The high priest took up the book of words on the ground and said.

"And ......," she paused, smiling mysteriously, before continuing, "the first half of the temple is actually a fake. ”

"Ahh Faced with this shocking secret, Mu Yuli, who had always been calm, finally couldn't help but scream.

"During those dark years, a sister stitched together the true and false books of the Word to make them look like the same book in order to protect our sacred relics."

"However, this secret is only known to the great priests of the past dynasties." After speaking, she glanced at Mu Yu Lily of the Valley meaningfully.

"...... are you" Mu Yuli's face turned pale, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"That's why I said, I only care about when you'll be able to step into the Holy Order." The High Priest put the Book of Sacred Words back on the stone platform, then picked up the golden staff, gave a light pause, and said with a solemn expression, "Until then, you don't have to leave. Then, she added, "But don't worry, I'll send three great sages and a team of nuns in red to the Temple of Prayer for Rain to take care of your sister's safety." ”

"No, don't ......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley subconsciously grabbed the long sword and took a step back.

"Knowing so many secrets, you still want to leave?" The Great Priest's gaze froze, and the long staff in his hand bloomed with ten thousand golden lights.

"Great sacrifice, Xiaoyu ......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley lowered her head, completely resigned to her fate, but as soon as she said something, she shook her body and rushed out.

Her speed was lightning fast, and her cloth boots crackled on the floor, bringing gusts of wind. But the speed of the great sacrifice was even faster, and in just an instant, he appeared behind her, grabbed her by the collar, threw her back, and threw her into the moon pool.

There was a "plop" sound, and there was a splash.

"Go back whenever you can run away from me." The high priest turned around, faced Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, who was soaking wet, and said with a smile.
