Chapter 799: The Greedy Priest
"Now? Of course we waited for Leonidas to go up the mountain. ”
Chen Yihan replied in a calm tone. After saying this, he noticed that Xiao Wan and the three of them had surprised expressions on their faces, so he continued, "Didn't the Lord God say when we should kill the priest?" They were meant to stop Leonidas from sending troops, so why should we kill them first? ”
"Ahh Is that okay too? ”
"Of course! Alright, let's go back to the palace. Chen Yihan said as he looked around. When he saw that no one had noticed what they were doing, he ran to the palace with his waist bent.
Xiao Wan and the three of them saw Chen Yihan doing this, looked at each other, and then followed. They had sworn before they entered Sparta! No matter what the outcome of this mission is, they will do it according to Chen Yihan's arrangement.
In the evening, Leonidas came out of the palace.
After that, he walked out of the city alone and depressed. When he left Sparta, he headed out into the mountains. Apparently he was going to the temple on the mountain and asking for the oracle there.
When Chen Yihan and the others saw Leonidas doing this, they naturally followed him.
Under the leadership of Leonidas, Chen Yihan and the others came to the edge of a steep mountain. After that, they quietly followed Leonidas and climbed to the temple at the top of the hill.
When Leonidas arrived near the top of the mountain, a priest of the temple was already waiting.
When the priest saw Leonidas, he whispered in an emotionless voice. "Leonidas, we are already waiting for you. Come with me now. ”
Leonidas did not respond to the priest's words, but silently followed him.
Chen Yihan saw Leonida's face in the movie. He knew Leonidas wasn't willing to do it tonight. It's just that. He had to do it again. After all, this was the law of Sparta, and the king had to go to the temple to ask for an oracle before sending troops.
By the time Leonids reached the temple, the five priests were already waiting in the temple.
They all wore very special cloaks, and they looked like ghosts from Death Valley. However, they had legs, and the ghosts floated in mid-air.
"Leonidas. What do you have to do with us? ”
"Honorable priest, I beg you to allow me to send troops against the Persian army of Xerxes." Leonidas fell to his knees and pleaded, "I have a perfect plan......"
"Don't talk about your plans yet. Let's talk about your offerings to the gods first! One of the priests replied.
"Offerings?" Leonidas repeated the priest's words in a deep groan, and looked into their faces. He knew there were greedy guys in front of him. But so what? This is the law of Sparta, and as long as the king wants to send troops, he must do it according to the rules! Even if it's him. Leonidas could not break the law either.
Leonidas thought so in his heart. He took out a bag of gold from his body and threw it to the ground with dissatisfaction. With such a move, greedy smiles appeared on the faces of the five priests. Clearly, their desire for money is stronger than their respect for God.
"Brother Han, you said that the Lord God asked us to kill these five guys, is it because he is also a god, so he is also dissatisfied with them in his heart?" The mean wolf asked in a small voice.
"Maybe!" Chen Yihan didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer casually.
As they were talking outside the temple. Leonidas was already in the temple telling his battle plan. Obviously, he had made full preparations before coming this time. He felt that he should be able to convince the five priests.
Wait until Leonidas' narration is complete. One of the high priests replied in a disdainful tone, "Leonidas, the full moon is coming soon." According to Spartan tradition, we are not allowed to use force on the festival of sacrifice. ”
"But the Persians don't respect our traditions! They have come to us, and they are going to destroy Sparta. Leonidas replied angrily.
"Perdition of Sparta? If this is God's will, then what can we do? ”
"God's will? All we can do is send troops to stop the Persians from coming to Sparta! We should protect our homes, our children, our women, and the elderly. The more Leonidas spoke, the more agitated he became. At the same time, his body also stood upright, and his face changed to an angry expression.
The five great priests were clearly aware of Leonidas' temper.
They didn't want to argue with Leonidas in the temple! In this way, their eyes met each other. After only a moment, the high priest at the head whispered, "Leonidas, no one can disobey the will of God!" Since you insist on sending troops on the festival of sacrifice, let's ask the oracle. ”
"I hope that when you ask the oracle, you will also ask your conscience."
"Leonidas! Don't trouble us. You've gotten us in trouble enough. God will not allow you to be violated. If you disobey God's will, He will condemn Sparta. ”
Although Leonidas was the king of Sparta, he did not have the courage to rebel against his gods. In this way, he could only bow down and say no more.
"Let's go! Let's go and see what God has to say. ”
Chen Yihan saw the appearance of the five priests when they asked for oracles in the movie. It's just that the ritual was completed in the inner sanctum of the temple, and he can't take Xiao Wan and them to see it now.
There was a young and beautiful Spartan woman who was drugged. She was worshipped as a carrier of the gods, but in reality, she was just a doll of the five priests. With the help of the mouths of the dolls, the five priests said that it was not easy to send troops on the sacrificial festival. After that, they used this as an excuse to knock Leonidas down the mountain.
Chen Yihan looked at Leonidas's back, and his heart was full of faint sadness.
This moment is different from when he watched the movie, he really experienced the sadness of the hero's end. Not only that, but he also began to worry about Leonidad's future.
As Leonidas departed, the sound of wicked laughter came from inside the temple.
After this, the Spartan councillor, who had been with the Persian mission, accompanied another Persian envoy to the temple. Immediately, a gold coin as tall as a hill bearing the head of Xerxes was poured down in the center of the temple by the Persian envoys.
When the greedy priests saw the coins, they pounced on them like pigs and dogs, and held them tightly in their hands.
When the Persian envoys saw the lowly appearance of the priests, they made them what Xerxes had promised. As long as the Persian army was able to fully occupy Greece, the oracles of the entire Persian Empire would be issued from this temple. After this, he left the temple with the Spartan councillors.
When Chen Yihan saw the Persians leaving, he took Xiao Wan and the three of them to appear in the temple.
The greedy priests were now focused on the gold coins, and they would not notice that outsiders were entering the area. When they sensed that someone was moving their gold coins, Chen Yihan and the others were already standing in front of them.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the temple? ”
"We're just farmers down the hill, and we're just going to come up and have a look." Chen Yihan replied in a low voice while admiring the gold coin in front of him.
"Farmer?" The priests listened to Chen Yihan's words and looked at each other.
Don't look at these guys are greedy and arrogant in front of Leonidas, but their minds are not stupid! With the accent in which Chen Yihan spoke, as well as the clothes on his body, they could tell that they were not Spartans. In this way, their faces are replaced with vigilant expressions.
"Yes! We're just farmers. Chen Yihan said as he held a gold coin between his two fingers. Then he put more pressure on his fingers. Under his vigorous pinching, the coin changed shape and bent.
When the priests saw Chen Yihan doing this, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
In just a moment, the leader of them came out and bared his teeth and said, "Outsiders, if you are interested in these gold coins, feel free to take some of them!" Those of us who work for God are generous and open-minded. We keep this money for God and don't mind giving it to you. ”
"Oh? Is it? Chen Yihan said as he looked at Xiao Wan and the others.
Seeing Chen Yihan's gaze, the cheap wolf walked to the pile of gold coins and pinched one of the gold coins into his hand. Then, he turned his gaze back to Chen Yihan, and asked in a funny tone, "Brother Han, what can we do with these things?" ”
"Yes! You say, "What can we do with these things?" Chen Yihan listened to the words of the cheap wolf and deliberately asked the priest in the same tone.
"They, they can buy a lot of things for you. For example, food, clothing, and ......"
"That's it! But we don't have gold coins in circulation. If you have the main god point, it's easy to say anything. As long as you offer high enough, we will let you go. But if you don't have a main god point, then I'm sorry. ”
When the five priests heard Chen Yihan say this, their faces changed.
They are not people in the main god space, how can they have seen the main god point? But they had no intention of being killed. As their appearance changed, they all put their hands on top of their cloaks. After that, their ugly and weird faces appeared in front of Chen Yihan and the others.
After that, the high priest at the head smiled and whispered, "Outsiders, do you think that we can control Sparta just by pretending to be a god and playing ghosts?" Since you don't eat and drink in the toast, then don't blame us for being polite. ”
When Chen Yihan heard the high priest say this, his eyes changed!
When he watched the movie, he only noticed that the five priests were ugly, weird and disgusting creatures, and he didn't think about what kind of abilities they would have. Now that he heard the priest at the head say this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that these guys were not normal human beings, and could really have some kind of supernormal ability? (To be continued......)
