Chapter 189: High Priest
Chapter 189: High Priest
The deep and gloomy temple is like a giant beast lurking in the endless night, and the strange and majestic momentum directly presses the hearts of those who look up at it with heavy awe!
The temple building is deep and mysterious, and a majestic church stands first in front of everyone. The main door of the church spans more than ten meters, from the ground to the top, reaching twenty or thirty meters high. On both sides of the gate, dark green stone pillars stood on the left and right, and strange flames intertwined with silver and black danced on the stone pillars. Through the light of the flames, everyone could calmly see a stone beast appear in their field of vision, and the eyes of the beast lit by the two flames continued to exude a mysterious and dangerous aura.
"Ahem...... Ahem......" A slight coughing sound suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, as if it was right next to them.
The emaciated figure slowly walked out of the dark church, as if a voice from a distant world slowly came: "Lydia, don't you know that outsiders desecrate the goddess when they trespass on the temple?
The emaciated figure seemed to have the magical power to devour all light, and the flames burning on the dark green stone pillar would disappear once they approached the figure within a meter of its surroundings. In Aaron's eyes, this figure was like a black hole devouring light, and its power was terrifying and terrifying!
The wizened old woman is none other than the High Priestess of the Temple of the Night, Madeleine!
As soon as High Priest Madeleine said this, a strange and ethereal aura instantly filled the entire square. Silently, all of them were bound by an invisible force.
As a fellow temple priest, Lydia naturally wouldn't be so easily shocked by the high priest. As soon as the silver light flashed on her body, the power that Madeleine bound on her body was immediately expelled and retorted softly: "These few lords behind me are all the great lords near the Night Forest, they have always been subservient to the Great Goddess and the Queen, and it is fortunate that these lords exist, and the surrounding of the Night Forest is stable and united. Oh, how can the high priest say that they are outsiders?"
At the same time, Aaron and the others also drove away the spiritual restraints that bound them one after another, but the horror in their hearts was incomprehensible. The high priest's coercion was unleashed without a trace, and he actually restrained all of the powerful people in the blink of an eye. Such a powerful force is unheard of.
During the Battle of Radiant Fortress, Aaron saw firsthand the horrors of those Sanctuary powers. If the feeling of those terrifying beings at that time was shocking and intense, then the feeling that the high priest gave him was an unfathomable pool of water, calm and deep.
At this time, the thin figure finally walked out of the door of the temple, and through the ethereal layers of black mist, a face full of vicissitudes of time appeared in everyone's eyes.
High Priest Madeleine's eyes suddenly opened, as mysterious as the night sky, and the endless darkness was intriguing.
It was hard for Aaron to imagine that such a bland face could have such a pair of eyes that were so enchanting that even the starry night sky would be overshadowed by this.
Almost the moment Madeleine opened her eyes, Aaron had a feeling of being devoured by her and sucking her soul, but the temptation of seduction was irresistible!
Just as he was about to strike, the undead minion old zombie slammed into Aaron's back with a punch from behind. The intense pain and the smell of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth suddenly brought him to his senses.
The old zombie roared suddenly, and the thunderous muffled sound exploded directly in the souls of everyone, and everyone suddenly struck a fierce spirit, and instantly broke free from the eyes of the high priest, and no one dared to meet Madeleine's eyes again.
High Priestess Madeleine snorted softly, surprised. Her eyes have been blessed by the goddess and can unleash the 'Night Dementor' technique anytime and anywhere, and today is the first time that someone else has cracked it.
Madeleine quickly locked onto Arlen, and a strange and inexplicable feeling came over her.
Madeleine seemed to realize something, and suddenly smiled faintly: "You are Aaron Iverson, the lord of the Wild Cow Valley! Well, very good, it is full of unknown mysteries, no wonder even the goddess ............"
Speaking of this, the high priest was stunned, his face turned cold, and he silently said to the endless black mist behind everyone: "Since Your Excellency has broken through the confusion of the night, then come in and meet you!"
As soon as the High Priest Madeleine said this, Brigitte was not surprised. If it was just by virtue of the power in front of her, she would not dare to rebel with a hundred dares, suppress the Temple of the Night, and offend this servant who has served the Goddess of the Night for hundreds of years!
As soon as the words fell, Aaron heard an eerie sneer in his ears. Immediately afterward, a blue-yellow figure had been suspended in the air above the square for some time.
"Ahh
"Damn it!"
"Holy ...... The powerhouse of the Sanctuary!"
"Wolves... Werewolves, damn it!"
That's right, being able to levitate in the void and stand still, except for the powerhouses who stepped into the holy realm, even the twelfth-level powerhouses at the peak of the golden realm couldn't do it!
"Lydia, what do you have to argue with now, Guyton can't be a citizen of our Night Forest, right?" High Priestess Madeleine's face was as cold as frost, and her voice had long since lost its former calm.
It seems that this werewolf of the Sanctuary has caused a lot of pressure on the High Priest!" Alun thought secretly, and his footsteps stepped back slightly by half a step. The horror of the power above the Sanctuary level was something that Aaron had seen with his own eyes. Even if he is no longer the ignorant and weak teenager he was back then, in the face of this power, he is still as small as an ant.
If that silver dragon hadn't been injured before, I would have added the corpse demon, the old zombie, and the manticore lion to crash into it, and it wouldn't be much stronger than the ants!
Werewolves with Sanctuary-level powers, except for the long-rumored name - Guyton, have never heard of a werewolf who has stepped into the Sanctuary.
The twelve-level gap between the Sanctuary and the Golden Peak was far beyond people's imagination. The difficulty of crossing this gap is ten million times more difficult than the previous strength level advancement, and many twelfth-level powerhouses often meet the strength requirements, but they are always short of such a thin layer of paper that cannot be broken and regret for life.
As soon as Guyton appeared, several temple priests immediately swept away their previous cowardice and fear, and Lydia even pointed the finger at the high priest Madeleine, and shouted: "High priest, please pay attention to your wording! On the contrary, we are asking Lord Guyton to be a notarized judge of certain people who use the name of the goddess to do self-interest, blaspheme the theocracy, and offend Wang Wei!"
The High Priestess Madeleine laughed when she heard this, and said, "Haha, how can a goddess who is as great as a goddess be blinded by our insignificance! Lydia, everything in the world is in the hands of the goddess, and those who blaspheme the goddess in the temple of the night will be truly judged and punished!"
Madeleine's face showed a look of pity and ruthlessness, which was simply elusive to others.
Several temple priests were shocked when they heard this. For a long time, they had been under the auspices of the high priest, and now their cowardice came out of nowhere.
Lydia, the most prestigious of the three priests, pointed at Madeleine and shouted, "Hmph, since you said that the goddess was not deceived by you, then I ask you, why do you often use the oracle of the goddess to interfere in the royal power of the lynx tribe?"
High Priest Madeleine shook her head and sighed, "O Lydia, are your wise eyes blinded by the powers of the world? Her Majesty is the spokesperson chosen by the Goddess to be in this plane, and we and the people of the Temple must obey the Queen's dictation!"
"Sophistry!" Lydia snorted and said, "Since ancient times, the divine power and the royal power have been separated, and the systems are different, how can they be entangled and mixed up?"
Madeleine's eyes showed a hint of mockery, and she smiled: "We are all servants of the goddess, so how can we have the distinction of divine power and kingship? Since the queen is the spokesperson of the goddess, we should obey the queen's orders." Doesn't ......" said Madeleine, dragging out a little in her tone, "don't we obey the Queen's orders, but the orders of those clowns?"
Lydia's face turned pale, and she glanced at Aaron on the left back side of her body, and said: "Putting aside the divine power and royal power for the time being, then let me ask you again, Aaron has been kind to my clan several times, as the high priest of the temple, why did you set a trap and cause the dragon to ravage the Barbarian Cow Valley?
"That's right, High Priestess! Lord Aaron is respected by the Queen and my people, how do you explain this?" the other two Temple priests said at this time.
Grand Elder Brigitte was expressionless, but her eyes were engrossed in observing the subtle changes in the atmosphere. Although the Sanctuary Werewolf Gaton helped, the reverence for the High Priest still deeply bound the Great Elder.
The rows of wrinkles on High Priest Madeleine's face suddenly appeared, and her eyes swept over Aaron, and she smiled and said, "Your Excellency must have come here for this, right?"
The situation at this moment has been beyond the expectations of Aaron and others.
Originally, Aaron saw the queen rushing to the Chloe clan with several temple priests, and among the priests who stayed behind in the temple, except for the high priest Madeleine, three were on Brigitte's side. The three priests and six elders, coupled with their own strong foreign aid, even if the high priest is strong, it should not be too difficult to take it.
However, this does not seem to be the case now, the High Priestess Madeleine has served the goddess for more than a hundred years, and she is far more powerful than Brigitte, the organizer of this conspiracy, imagined. If it weren't for Brigitte's back-up move, and invited the werewolves of the Sanctuary to help, I'm afraid that even if my group joined forces, they would be far from being the enemy of Madeleine.
To Arlen's displeasure, this werewolf Guyton, despite his might, cowered behind the crowd and let his insignificant clowns stand in front. What's even more hateful is that this guy hasn't said a word since he came out, and he is seriously suspected of using his gang to consume Madeleine's power.
