Chapter 162: Inside the Great Hall
Just outside, while the priests were still checking on the slaves.
In the hall in front of the square, it was a different scene, the whole hall was unusually quiet, only the lighting crystals that filled the entire hall shimmered in all directions.
In the center of the main hall, there is a silver ball, the diameter of the ball is about one meter, there is no gap in the whole body, the light on it is recognizable, only in the front of the place there is a circular hole, which is inlaid with a palm-sized green gem.
The ball floats in the air, about a meter above the ground, and it is not stationary, but slowly floats up and down, and it feels like a person breathing, maintaining a unique rhythm. In that green gem, there seemed to be countless streamers flickering, like fish swimming under the water of a pond, and the surface of the water was the green gem.
In front of this orb stood four people, in particular, the Golden Bough Priest Hess, Queen Laura, her husband Prince Sherlock, who had only been married for a few months, and the Queen's teacher and advisor, Master Salmeron.
Fahs was still dressed in the same plain way, with nothing on his body except for an old priest's robe, and he stared excitedly at the streamer in the green gem.
The queen and the prince were dressed up, wearing dresses and crowns that were only worn for important ceremonies, and their expressions were a little nervous. Master Salmeron was wearing armor and a sword, and his expression was very serious.
"The City of God is beginning to answer my call. Fahs's voice sounded a little trembling, Queen Laura had never seen this sage like this, "The sages who have followed the gods since the time of mythology are awakening from their slumber, and the gods have given them eternal life to accompany him, and now they will become the precursors of the gods. ”
"Is it about to begin?" asked Queen Laura, "how many Sages will come down?"
Fahs said, "I don't know, the gods have their own arrangements, but they will definitely be enough to destroy our enemies." ”
"Do you mean the China Tower?" asked Queen Laura.
Fahs said: "Not only that, but those who do not believe in the true God should be destroyed." The whole world is the garden of the true God, and if there is no human being or any other creature who does not believe in Him, how can they continue to live?"
Seeing Fahs's gaze on her, Queen Laura quickly nodded and agreed, "You are right. Is it going to start outside?"
Fahs said, "Come on, the last slaves have arrived." As long as we pass the judgment, we can provide the life essence to the Divine City.
I have to say that Her Majesty really loves her people, and would rather spend money on slaves than worship her own people to awaken the City of God. ”
"I am already ashamed that I have brought them into war as soon as I ascended the throne, and that many families have died, and that their homeland has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and I cannot ask for more from them," said Queen Laura. If a few gold coins will be enough to accomplish the task you gave me, why sacrifice their lives?"
"This cannot be said to be a sacrifice, it is a kind of luck and honor for them, most people have never had the opportunity to participate in such a great event in their mediocre lives?" Fahs said, "I heard that you even had to borrow money from nobles and merchants in order to pay for this gold coin?"
"Yes. Queen Laura bowed her head and replied, "But believe me, those I have left behind will be worth more than ten gold coins for the rest of their lives." They will all the same dedicate themselves to the gods of nature, only in different ways. ”
Fahs looked unpleasant and said, "Remember, it is blasphemy to talk about benefits in front of the gods. Did the dead Chinese give you such an influence? You'd better forget about him cleanly. ”
"No, I truly believe in the gods, what I said just now is just my confusion for a while, no matter what the gods need me to give, I will try my best to do it. Queen Laura said.
"Oh, is it?" said Fahs, "there is indeed one more thing you need to do before the City of God comes. ”
"Say it. The Queen said.
"Although you have prepared enough slaves, opening the door of the gods itself requires a very pure life energy, and we need to sacrifice an additional master, at least a master. As he spoke, Priest Fahs raised his hand and gently gestured to Master Salmeron, who was standing behind the Queen.
Queen Laura's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Wait!"
Salmeron was also shocked when Fahs said his name, and he hurriedly burst out of his fighting spirit and swung his sword at the Sage in front of him. But it was too late, and in front of a well-prepared Sage who made a sneak attack, a great swordsman like him had almost no ability to resist. I saw a leaf suddenly appear on Salmeron's forehead, this strange leaf emitted bursts of light and enveloped his body, and his fighting spirit disappeared in an instant like ice and snow poured with hot water.
Not only is his fighting spirit, but his physical fitness has also been greatly affected, and he was originally physically strong, but he can't even lift his hands at the moment. The long sword, which had just been drawn halfway, also fell back into its own scabbard.
"This is ......" Salmeron had never seen the Sage in front of him make a move, and when he did, it was all about to end.
"Leaves of Sleep. Sacred Order Magic in the Temple of Nature. Prince Sherlock, who had not spoken, said, "Master Salmeron, you can become a part of the Sage of the Divine City with peace of mind, and Laura will be taken care of by me." ”
"Wait a minute, Lord Fahs, we can still discuss this matter!" cried out Queen Laura.
Fahs smiled and said, "Are you questioning the decision of a Golden Bough priest?"
"I'm ......," Laura's voice softened.
Fahs looked at Salmeron, who was completely unable to move, and said: "You have worried too much about the queen over the years, Sherlock is right, now that they are married, with him to assist Laura, you don't need to work hard anymore." Honorably dedicate yourself to the god of nature. ”
Salmeron struggled a few times, but he had lost all his strength and finally had to resign himself to his eyes.
Fahs looked at the queen, who looked down at the ground and said no more.
He smiled, then touched the green gem lightly with his hand, and a ray of light flew out of the green gem, entangled Salmeron's body.
