A regular and bland knock sounded at the door, and Gregory, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, unconsciously reached out and touched the pious blade on his finger, and cheered up: "Please come in!"
After a severe injury, especially a stalemate with the evil corrosive power of the demon seed, the light in his left eye darkened a lot, and his whole childish face looked very pale and weak.
"Your Excellency, Great Sage. ”
The door was gently opened, and a blood-like red appeared in Gregory's field of vision, and with the sound of mechanical footsteps, Kurezeman's steel-statued, indifferent face quickly approached: "How are you feeling now?"
"I'm much better...... Thank you for your concern, Head Kurezeman. ”
Gregory smiled politely in response, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly. If a hard-hearted guy like Kurezeman suddenly takes the initiative to care about someone, there are only two reasons: that person is about to be taken to the Inquisitor to be 'screened', or that this person no longer needs to be taken to the Inquisitor to be 'screened'.
"Good. ”
Kurezerman nodded formulaically, then stared at Gregory's face with an indifferent gaze, and immediately began to do business: "I don't know who is driving it, there are rumors circulating in Xi'an City that are very unfavorable to us now, so I hope that Your Excellency Gregory can personally come forward and clarify some issues." ”
"Rumors?"
There was a look of astonishment on Gregory's face. His injuries were real, so his physical weakness was also real, and he had been asleep since he was treated, and he really didn't know what was going on outside.
"Well, very ridiculous rumors, don't care. ”
Kurezeman lowered his eyelids, but did not explain the content of the rumor to Gregory: "As long as your behavior comes naturally, the message will be self-defeating." ”
“...... Isn't Lord Gastius able to stop this rumor?"
Gregory looked slightly surprised. The current Great Sanctuary is headed by Gastis, one of Sanin's three gods, and such a highly admired and extremely high-level existence can't even stop such a rumor?
"Lord Gastius has lowered the fire of judgment. Kurezeman replied in a flat voice, and Gregory's breath faltered, and his pupils contracted sharply.
Flame of Judgment! the cruel weapon used by Gastith the Legendary Inquisitor to burn everything and reorganize the world!
"What ......"
A flush of excitement appeared on his pale face, and he exclaimed in a feeble whisper: "Lord Gastis actually rained down the fire of judgment in a city like Xi'an......?! Outside...... Is it already in ruins?"
In all the texts, when the Inquisitor Gastis's 'fire of judgment' is mentioned, the words 'ruins, wails, ashes' are usually the only words that follow the account, and even Gregory can't help but feel a palpitation when he suddenly hears such a name in a bustling city like Xi'an.
"Don't worry, Lord Gastith has suppressed most of the power, and only a few hundred hypocrites have been reduced to ashes. Kurezeman's tone did not change in the slightest, and he did not seem to hear Gregory's exclamation at all: "But the situation has become more complicated under the covert impetus of those evil heretics with ulterior motives. ”
In fact, the situation has gotten very bad. After Gastius burned hundreds of people to ashes in a fit of rage at the entrance of the Great Temple, he was immediately maliciously promoted by people with ulterior motives, as if Gastius really wanted to destroy the city. Although Kurezerman believes that the city has indeed long been corrupted into a nest of evil that breeds heretics, in the current situation, he has to consider how to stabilize the mood of the ordinary people - many countries on the mainland have recently shown their wariness of the Temple of Radiance, and if anything happens in Xi'an, I am afraid that it will seriously irritate them, and it will be extremely detrimental to the future development of the Temple of Light.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
Gregory immediately perked up and sat up from the bed, his childish face still weak, but the look in his right eye was bright and firm: "I am more familiar with the officials of Xi'an...... I think if they cooperate, things should be resolved quickly!"
"Your body is not fit for an excessively strenuous activity, Lord Gregory. ”
Kurezerman rejected Gregory's offer with a blank face, "Besides, there were rumors spreading immediately after the attack on the Great Sanctuary, there must be some connection between them, and we should not act rashly until we find out the purpose of the other party." ”
"Really......"
Gregory seemed to lie back down with some disappointment. Kurui Zeman is right, his body is really not suitable for any exercise, and when he sat up a little hard just now, he was already gasping slightly: "Okay, if there is a need for me, please just speak, Captain Kurui Zeman." ”
"I will. ”
Kurezeman nodded calmly and stood up to leave.
“...... Wait a minute, Captain Kurezeman. ”
As soon as he approached the door, Gregory, who was lying on the bed resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes again: "About this Demon Seed incident...... Do you have any results from your investigation?"
"A slight eyebrow. ”
Kurezeman turned his back to Gregory and turned his head sideways to reply, "According to the records of the Holy Light Pillar, shortly after Princess Decassia entered the Great Sanctuary, a junior priest named Se@Crovers, who was originally in charge of guarding the door, suddenly left his post and hurried towards the interior of the Great Sanctuary. ”
"Cy @ Cloverace?"
Gregory's childish face showed a look of thinking and reminiscence: "...... Sorry, I don't have much of an impression of the name. ”
"Of course you won't know the name. ”
Kurezeman turned his head and continued to explain indifferently as he reached out to pull the door: "He is just a low-level priest, he was a local orphan in Xi'an, he was imprisoned in the penitential house for crime when he was a child, and later converted to Sanin under the influence of the light sacrifice of the penitential house - but according to the confessions of the surrounding residents, he is not a devout believer at all, and even often disguises himself to go in and out of various casinos in Xi'an, and I now suspect that he was secretly planted with demon seeds in that place." ”
As he finished speaking, the door was opened to the maximum.
"Bastard ......"
Gregory gritted his teeth on the bed and muttered, "This damned hypocrite, it is because of his depravity that the poor believers have suffered great misfortune...... Why didn't I find out about his anomaly sooner...... It's all ...... It's all my fault......"
His eyes moistened again, but contrary to his appearance, the young sage's heart was now a heavy stone that had finally fallen to the ground. As a move that was originally intended to deal with the Council of Elders in the future, the last measure he had carefully laid out was extremely costly, whether it was the acquisition of the demon seed or the determination of the candidate, it took him a lot of money and energy to arrange it so that people could not find the flaw, and he even conducted a painful experiment on himself for this purpose, to determine the speed of the effect of the magic of the dark erosion attribute on his body, so as to make the damage as serious as possible and eliminate his suspicion.
"Allow me to repeat once again - you need not rush to conclusions until the investigation is over, Your Excellency Gregory. ”
To the surprise of the young sage, Kurui Zeman, who was standing outside the door, did not echo his confession after hearing him, but calmly responded with a similar sentence as before. As if he hadn't heard Kurezeman, Gregory quietly closed his eyes and began to rest, but if someone put their ears close to his chest, they could hear a heartbeat accelerating.
What's going on?
Underneath his calm exterior, a hint of alarm rose in his heart. Kurezeman's performance was a little out of control, as if he was suspicious of something, although he had begun to lay out this secret move early on, and he was confident that all traces had been erased, but Kurezeman's prestige did not come out of nowheres, and he may have a superior intuition that no one else could match, which made him have some doubts about this matter......
"There's another thing to be aware of - the members of the guard at your gate have reported falling asleep at the same time, and while there is no direct evidence, I suspect that the Great Sanctuary has recently been infiltrated, so please be careful. ”
After Kurezeman said this expressionlessly, he politely closed the door for the young sage, and his footsteps rang out with the same frequency outside the door.
In the silence of the room, Gregorio opened his eyes, and after a slight glance around the room, he slowly got up, began to grope for the decoration of the room, and silently opened the dark compartment next to the bookshelf, and the next second, a small box engraved with mysterious runes appeared in his hand, and the top lid was gently opened, and the two angel cores were lying quietly inside.
Whether he is doubting it or not, he must restore his ability to protect himself as soon as possible...... One is used immediately to heal, and the other is used to cope with emergencies.
Gregory quickly arranged, neatly took out the two angel cores, put the boxes back in their place, and quickly returned to the bed and lay down. The damage he suffered was indeed 'maximum', even with the help of Gastith to restrain the corrosion of dark energy, his body still looked weak after losing a lot of flesh and blood, and this amount of activity alone was so tired that he began to gasp slightly, and immediately grabbed the core of the angel and began to absorb the pure light energy in it.
I wonder how Tutang Carmen is doing?
Looking at the angel core in his hand, the young sage couldn't help but start thinking about T and S. He hadn't seen Estelle since the beginning of the ceremony, and he had no idea what was going on at the ceremony, but he had already heard from the inquisitors who served him that S had succeeded in becoming the next emperor of the Wright Empire.
Terrible and mysterious t!
Gregory felt a little uncomfortable. In S's case, he knew very well that after his faith was shattered, he was hurt even more seriously because he was right next to him, and his soul had almost become fragments, but T still had the ability to allow him to complete such a major and complicated event as the coronation without any flaws, and if this ability was used on someone else, such as himself, would it also play such a terrifying role?
Unconsciously, a fine cold sweat appeared on the young sage's face, and the hand holding the core of the angel became even harder.
"Boom-"
A low explosion suddenly sounded at this time, and Gregory, who was contemplating, suddenly trembled, Huo Di raised his head, and the divine light in his left eye instantly flashed.
He knew in his heart that it was not an ordinary explosion, but the sound of a powerful magic impact! It sounded nearby, probably in ...... Storage Secret Room?
"What's going on?"
He frowned and turned his gaze in the direction of the explosion, staring at the wall over there, and then heard the chaotic footsteps of a large number of heretical inquisitors, and he couldn't help but hold back any longer, and walked quickly to the door.
The storage room is full of gifts received by previous great sages, stolen goods seized from the enemy, etc., I wonder who is so bold as to dare to come to the Great Sanctuary where Gastius is sitting to steal things?
Despite his replenishment, he continued to walk in that weak footsteps, but luckily the storage chamber was not very far from his room, and he soon saw Kurezeman and Gastith standing together.
"Lord Gastis,"
Gregory gasped and leaned over, "What's going on here?"
"As I warned you earlier, someone did infiltrate the Great Sanctuary and try to steal something, but I had taken precautions before, so he struck a dangerous spell and escaped wounded. ”
Kurezeman turned his head to look at his frail face, and turned around again to continue observing, the divine light intensity of Gastis's white robe suddenly increased, and with a wave of his hand, a crystal ball as smooth and moist as ink jade appeared in his hand: "He is for this." ”
As the first to arrive, Miko's voice was cold, but very affirmative. When Kurezeman and Gregory saw the crystal ball, their faces suddenly became heavy.
"Followers of the alien god Byrones...... Things?"
Gastith immediately learned the true identity of the item in his hand from Kurezeman's mouth, and the eye-like divine pattern on his forehead suddenly emitted a dazzling light: "They want to get this thing back?"
The flame of judgment burst out of his body: "Then we will give them a chance to take it - Gregory, in tomorrow's statement, you have to tell them that this evil thing will be transported to the Temple of Radiance and sealed!"
"Yes, sir. ”
The boy hung his head respectfully, and a shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head to look, it was Estelle, the saint of light.
"I'm sorry, I'm compiling the information of the believers, so I'm late. ”
She explained to Gregory in a low voice, her voice calm, but her face was strangely pale. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
