Rewind the clock to half an hour ago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dressed in the pure white uniform of a saint, Estelle walked quietly through the passages of the Great Chapel. The robe for the saints, which embodies the efforts of many wise and outstanding people of the Sanin sect for thousands of years, is beautifully designed, elegantly cut and solemn, which can not only show the gentleness and holiness of women, but also well reflect the awe-inspiring inviolability of the clergy, and make people feel the divine power of the Lord of Radiance - but for Estil, the biggest advantage of this deadly heavy, cumbersome and complicated to wear, and not very breathable is that it is easy to put on a set of tights inside.
"Good evening, Your Majesty Estelle!"
In the basement of the Great Sanctuary, at the door of a certain storage room, two low-level radiant warriors who were whispering boringly saw Estelle's figure and quickly stroked their chests and saluted.
"Hello. ”
Estelle returned the salute quietly, looked up slightly, opened the manuscript in her hand and checked the number on the storeroom, "This is the last room to store old documents from the last Eternal Sleep War, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
A low-level Radiant Samurai replied, a little excited. The underground of the Great Sanctuary stored a large number of things that may have been important in the past, but time has passed, and now there are many things here that have not been turned over once in a hundred years, but they cannot be simply discarded, so it has become a chore for low-level Radiant Warriors, and every week two people draw lots to 'guard' these materials with nothing to do - I didn't expect that when it was their turn, they would have the opportunity to talk to the Holy Maiden Estelle face to face, which really made the Radiant Warriors unable to suppress their excitement.
For all the personnel in the Great Temple, whether it is a low-ranking priest or a radiant warrior, they all have a great affection for the Holy Maiden Estelle, a woman of high status who speaks softly and pleasantly, and has a solemn and quiet temperament. The face was holy and beautiful, as if it had all the virtues that a woman could possess, but one could only feel the beauty in it, without the slightest blasphemy, and at the same time it was extremely devout to the Lord of Light, and even the two of them could often see Estelle praying all night by the pool of light, and lately I had heard that the Holy Maiden was worried about the growing conflict between the 'Holy Mountain' and the 'Templar', and looked around through ancient documents, as if trying to find a solution to the current problem.
"You've done a great job. ”
The other radiant warrior sighed heartily, a faint glow welling up on his body, and pushed open the door to the storage room for Estelle. The dusty door shaft turned with difficulty, making a tooth-aching grinding sound, and the rune array carved into the wall felt the door open, and began to emit a faint light, illuminating the two-person high bookshelves that were almost lined up one after another in the fifty-meter-square room, even if it was covered with various protective magic circles, but the long time still filled the room with a pungent musty smell.
And such rooms, Saint Estelle has opened five in a row in recent days.
"Thank you to both Guardians for their loyal service. ”
Estelle looked at the bookshelves and the various documents and scrolls covered in a thin layer of dust, and without showing the slightest embarrassment, she turned around and thanked the two radiant warriors in accordance with etiquette, "May the light always stay in your heart and dispel all darkness." ”
"May the light remain in your heart forever. ”
The two Radiant Warriors bowed in unison, watching the holy and slender body gradually be hidden by the old door, and their hearts were filled with peaceful happiness, if anyone dared to disrespect the Holy Maiden Estelle in front of them at this moment, the two Radiant Warriors would definitely go up and fight him without thinking.
"Whew!"
On the other side of the slowly closing door, the holy and solemn expression on Estelle's face disappeared in an instant, revealing an alert and keen look. In the past few days, in order to complete her whimsical plan of 'finding secrets', she really went through all the old documents accumulated over the years in the Sanin Great Holy Church, and she was so tired that her back hurt but she only found some that had already become. Estelle eventually found some obscure accounts from some scribbled essays on logistics supplies, and she was sent by her father to undergo rigorous spy training at a great expense, and keenly found some details from these scattered records that did not match the official documents of the Great Templar, and after two days of data collection and on-site investigation, she deduced that there was a hidden passage in the Great Templar that could lead to a strange room that had never been recorded on any documents.
What will be there?
After consulting a large number of records, Estelle's interest in the 'non-existent room' grew, according to the analysis of the information she had at hand, even the Great Sages and Elders at the time seemed to be completely unaware of this room, and there were no clues related to them in the records, and according to her observations, the location of this room was located almost directly below the entire Sanin Great Temple, and it did not look like it was for storing anything, but more like a seal with the entire Sanin Great Sanctuary as the core- If it was really a devout believer, it was estimated that he would firmly give up exploring it immediately when he saw such a design at this moment, but Estelle was not a true believer of Sanin in the first place, and she entered the Great Sanctuary to steal secrets, but she was more interested in it.
Based on the very limited information that this strange room must have a narrow passage leading to it from a room in the basement, Estelle has recently explored the various rooms in the basement of the Great Sanctuary one after another, not missing a single crack in the wall - so far to no avail.
"Could it be here?"
Estelle whispered to herself, and after activating the probing spell, she carefully moved along the walls of the storeroom, her delicate palms slightly emitting a white glow, faintly mysterious tiny runes jumping with her fingertips, her delicate face had a serious expression, and her focused eyes stared at every tiny crevice, feeling their changes under the probing magic.
Time passed slowly with the faint fluorescent movement of her hand, and soon, the entire storage room walls, floors, bookshelves, and even the ceiling were searched by her, and as she had done before, she found nothing.
Could it be that it was just the nonsense of some idle and bored logistics staff?
Estelle's confidence wavered a little, but it was immediately firm again—it was impossible for something to be cranky to match any other clue, so it was very likely that there was a room here, but the designer had sealed it off through various clever designs......
Closed?!
Estelle had a flash of inspiration and realized her mistake. Her current magic is the traditional spy skill 'Secret Door Detection', the main principle of which is to detect subtle air movements to identify underground passages, but the room she is looking for is directly below the Great Sanctuary, and it is sealed so tightly that there is almost no air movement, no wonder it can't be found...... Then she suddenly had a bold idea, if her previous speculation that that room was suppressed by the Great Sanctuary had some basis, then she should see something when she probed the concentration of light elements in the Great Sanctuary.
After closing her eyes and letting her sit for a moment, Estelle's pupils had turned milky white when she opened them again, the world had lost its physical form in her eyes, and the distribution of light elements throughout the space came into her view—the most striking thing was of course the sleeping Sanin in the Great Sanctuary Temple directly above, the vast light that permeated all the buildings around the main temple like the sun, so that if you looked up, you couldn't see anything clearly—but fortunately the target she was looking for was below.
Estelle lowered her head and watched the power of light flow like a cloud, slowly flowing in the various inscriptions and decorative lines that connected the entire Great Sanctuary, the veins were not clear enough under the strong reflection of Sanin's divine radiance, but all the paths were still faintly recognizable, and the slowly flowing light really left a blank area at the bottom of the holy pool, if you didn't have the intention to look for it, it would be easy to be covered by the light of the holy pool above, thinking that it was the natural intersection of the light veins, but if you pay close attention, you can naturally find the problem.
Got it!
A playful smile appeared at the corner of Estelle's mouth, and at this moment the delicate face looked particularly fresh and charming, and then she carefully searched for it again along the veins, and soon found a narrow passage extending from the empty area in the center from a bunch of complicated lines, which also had no light element stored, hidden between the many slowly flowing veins of light, if it were not connected to the middle area, it was very easy to ignore the past- At least Estelle had seen it more than once before through an elemental vision like her current one, but had never noticed the anomalies.
After finding the passage, it was very simple, and along the way, Estelle quickly discovered the secret passage to the underground, and carefully did not use magic lighting, but lit a small secret traceless fire candle, with her great strength, the completely sealed passage did not cause any obstacles to her, and she did not find any traps on the way, so easily and unexpectedly entered the mysterious room.
"It's ......"
When the room was illuminated through the narrow passages, the sight that fell into Estelle's eyes was unusually ordinary: the walls and the roof were decorated exactly in the same style as the rest of the rooms of the Great Basilica, a simple altar, a simple iconographic with no decoration, and in front of the icon lay a book full of antiquity that was supposed to be a holy canon—almost like a copy of the everyday scene of the many rooms attached to the small shrines of the Great Chapel.
Except-
Estelle's bright eyes stared in amazement at the icon on the altar, which looked very similar to the icons enshrined in other small temples or priest's rooms, with the main god in the center and the three followers next to it, but the standard idol specifications of the Cult of the Radiant God were Sanin as the main god in the middle, the 'burner' Bernin half-kneeling in front of him and his hands raised, and the 'savior' Heos and ' The Inquisitor' Gastis stood on either side, and on this icon here, the main god in the middle was not Sanin, but an unknown deity whose face had been scraped off, although he had no face. But the clothes and ornaments are completely different from the statue of Sanin, and it will certainly not be confused, and the layout of the whole icon is the same as that of Sanin's idol, but the three gods around are completely different, on the left is a humanoid creature with gorgeous wings on its back, its body is covered with natural arcane runes, with a quiet and calm smile on its face, and on the right is a knight in full armor, with a heavy giant sword in his hand, his expression is serious and solemn, and in front of this main god there is also a god half-kneeling, but the god's dress and the divine pattern engraved on his body make the saint almost cry out in surprise- That's Sanin!
Although he is not a true devout believer, he has also undergone a strict assessment in order to blend into the Great Sanctuary Estelle, and he is naturally very familiar with all the ritual signs of Sanin, although the gods in front of the unknown main god on the idol in front of him, although there are certain differences in clothing, but the unique and metaphorical divine pattern of the essence of power is completely consistent, this kind of divine pattern engraved on the body of the god reflects the root and underlying connotation of the power of the gods, and is unique in the entire multiverse, so it can never be the same.
"Oh my God, what did I find?"
Estelle covered her small mouth with her hands that was round in surprise, and her body trembled with excitement. Her father, Sakas, paid a huge price to send her to the Cult of the Radiant God, endured harsh cultivation and assessments, and finally became a saint, just to find out the secret of an unknown prophecy, and the information contained in this statue in front of her is undoubtedly very different from the canonical records of the Cult of the Radiant God for a long time.
Even Steele herself would never have believed this claim if she hadn't personally discovered this secret room and seen the statue with her own eyes.
"Father, is this the 'secret' of the prophecy that you have been obsessing about?"
Estelle muttered to herself silently, and then took out the oldest of the several divine emblems hanging on her chest, and after a slight twist, the ordinary holy emblem became a magic prop, this is the 'bloodline spirit rhino' that Sakas spent an expensive amount of money to customize, which can only transmit ideas between direct bloodlines, such a huge restriction must also have the same huge benefits, which is extremely rare and rare even the gods are almost imperceptible to the contact method.
"What's the matter, Winnie?"
Sakas's old, worried voice rang out in Estelle's heart, "Is there any trouble?"
The 'Bloodline Spirit' is an expensive and fragile form of communication, and the number of communications is limited, and he had instructed Estelle not to use it unless it was extremely urgent, and now he suddenly received a communication from his daughter, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"No, father, I'm fine,"
Estelle hurriedly soothed, and then conveyed the scene through her eyes, "I found a secret room underneath the Sanctuary of Sanin, and I have made some rather surprising discoveries. That's why I'm contacting you. ”
"Secret room?"
As expected, Sakas's tone suddenly rose, and the whole person became excited, "Did you find anything?"
"I feel like I've captured the great secret of the Temple of Radiance!"
Estelle sent the sight to Sakas, who, as expected, exclaimed as soon as he received the idol.
"Sanin was once someone else's god?"
There was a great deal of surprise in Sakas's voice, making one believe that he really didn't know before, "Who can be the main god of such a grumpy and incomparably strong fellow?...... Quick, Winnie, get closer and let me see the details!"
Estelle obediently leaned over, carefully observed every little detail of the idol, and then sent it to Sakas, at first it was nothing, and the latter was very excited, constantly commenting on the ideas represented by these details, explaining the meaning of the composition of the idol, the respective movements and costumes of the gods inside, and Estelle benefited a lot.
“...... It's really Sanin!"
After carefully studying the divine details of this idol, Sacqas came to the same conclusion as Estelle, the creature in the portrait who knelt before the other gods was truly the lord of radiance who was now majestic and divine, and whose power was incomparable!
It is not uncommon for a subordinate god to become the main god, for a long time, there will always be some gods who will fall for one reason or another, and some gods will support the burden of the entire god system after the fall of the main god, and finally be supported or suppress all opposition by force, and successfully promote to become the main god of the god system.
However, the Lord of Light is not, in the canon of the Cult of the Radiant God, the Lord of Light is described as the first ray of light that breaks through the chaos of this world, and is the embodiment of the rules of light, without a single word that can be reminiscent of the word 'god'.
"Hehe, if there is a way to move the things out of here, so that those stupid mortals can see that the so-called Lord of Light has actually knelt down before other gods...... Their expressions must have been funny then!"
"Father, is this the secret you are talking about?"
Estelle asked inwardly as she began to think about how to transport the idol out.
"No, it's a bigger secret......"
Sakas's hoarse voice seemed to be in his ears, "The face was scraped off with a sharp blade, but judging from the clothing of this main god, it is at least a thousand years from the current age, and although this ornament has been damaged a little, it can still be—"
Silence enveloped Estelle's heart, and after waiting for a long time, there was no thought on the other side, and just when Estelle began to wonder if the props were exhausted, Sakas's voice changed tone again in her head:
"This can't be!!Conservation is eternal, the main god in this idol is actually my lord Byrons!!"
When the name of 'Byrones' was transmitted to Estelle's heart with Sakas's exclamation, the idol in front of her seemed to sense something, and a trace of cyan brilliance slowly oozed from the lines of the remaining main deity, like a vine about to die, and slowly extended downward, the color became lighter and lighter, until it barely touched the ancient code on the altar.
A bright cyan glow suddenly lit up from the Codex, and then a special page flew out as if it had a will of its own, and in the cyan light that pierced the sky, twelve different scenes appeared around the altar, including palaces, There are caves, and even the dark seabed, and the only thing they have in common is that in the center of these scenes there is a page that radiates an endless blue glow, and the expressions and actions of the people around them are also vividly reflected in it, including a figure in front of a house full of rustic charm that makes Estelle feel very familiar.
How could he be there? (To be continued.) )
