Chapter 13 Origins
Because of the small number of believers, the clergy of the Ruiji Temple are usually relatively idle, and the believers who sign up for the awakening ceremony sometimes do not see one for ten days and a half months, so the auditorium of the temple is basically in a semi-closed state, except for someone who comes to clean it every three days, otherwise the personnel of the temple will not step into this place casually.
Three days ago, after many days, the Ruiji Temple finally welcomed the believer who signed up for the awakening ceremony again, this believer is a new face, the other party has successfully transformed into a god in the first ceremony like Alex, after the believer left with excitement and dancing, the old priest in charge of the ceremony walked to a corner of the ritual circle with a solemn expression, he squatted down, carefully inspected the stone slab on the ground, and then his face changed greatly, and in a moment, he summoned all the priests of the temple to the auditorium.
The old priest has been presiding over the awakening ceremony for twenty years, and any deviation in the ritual circle cannot hide his perception, when he presided over the ceremony just now, he was keenly aware that the ritual circle was sluggish at a certain point in the operation, and this situation is extremely rare, and after the old priest checked it, he found that the stone slab of the original ritual circle was tampered with!
"Who's in charge of cleaning the auditorium these days?"
After the priests had gathered in confusion, the old priest asked in a fierce voice.
"It's me!, Lord Priest of Bair, and throughout the Frost Moon (December), his subordinates are responsible for cleaning the auditorium. A young priest raised his hand tremblingly and said.
"Brans!" the old priest recognized the young priest at a glance. "Did you turn over the stone slabs on the ceremonial floor while cleaning the auditorium?"
"Returning to the presiding priest, my subordinates are extremely careful every time they clean the auditorium, for fear of disturbing my lord, so how dare my subordinates mess with the things in the auditorium at will. Brans said quickly.
The old priest stared at Blans for a long time, making sure that he showed no signs of lying before turning his gaze to the others.
"Who else has stepped into the Great Hall these days besides Brans?!" the old priest said sternly. "Everyone must give me an honest account, or don't blame me for punishing you for blasphemy!"
"The Priest of Bair...... I didn't have ......"
"The Priest of Bair......"
For a moment, all the priests were terrified that they had never set foot in the auditorium these days.
"Quiet!"
While the priests were talking about themselves, the old priest stopped their arguing with great anger.
"It is a great pity to tell you that there has been a serious incident of blasphemy here in the Great Hall, and that someone has dared to invade the realm of the gods in order to obtain the mystery of the Awakening Ritual! In the face of such a mad act, as the Lamb of the Lord, we must not have any appeasement!" the old priest took a deep breath and explained the reason, but at last he still roared uncontrollably. "Check me! Make sure to find out who has infiltrated the auditorium these days!"
With the order of the old priest, the entire Ruiji Temple was in turmoil, basically everyone in the temple was subjected to strict interrogation, and at the same time, the matter accidentally spread, causing a small number of people to know about the changes that happened in the Ruiji Temple.
When Alex followed the predecessors of the gods to return from the Demon Tower, they specially held a lively celebration dinner, as a newcomer Alex was unexpectedly poured a lot of wine, but directly drunk on the tavern table, until the second half of the night he woke up because of urgency, and at this time the tavern was already lying in a crowd, only a few still not drunk seniors were chatting with the tavern owner at the bar.
After returning from the toilet, Alex, who was dry and sleepy, asked for a glass of juice to quench his thirst, and then cheekily participated in the chat of his predecessors, but most of the time he was a listener and rarely spoke.
In the process of changing topics, the tavern owner suddenly mentioned what happened in the Ricky Temple recently, Alex in a groggy state instantly woke up after listening, his eyes widened, he was covered in cold sweat, his brain and thoughts were all messed up, when a certain senior asked him if this Ricky believer knew the inside story, Alex was speechless, fortunately the senior didn't take it seriously, and turned his head and changed the topic.
Alex, who was a thief, couldn't calm down any longer, and after he found an excuse to leave, he rushed all the way to Chen An's residence as soon as he left the tavern.
......
"That's how it went. ”
After Alex explained the reason in a hurry, Chen Anzheng, who had changed his clothes, was packing up his belongings for escape while thinking calmly about the sudden emergency situation in front of him.
1. According to Alex, although the temple noticed the abnormality of the stone slab in the auditorium, and was even accused of a serious blasphemy, the temple was still in the stage of self-examination, and they were not listed as the object of suspicion for the time being, but this was undoubtedly a matter of time, so before the catastrophe came, Chen An, who was the initiator, had to run away quickly.
Second, the escape needs to be planned, how to avoid the pursuit of the temple is the top priority, the problem is that with the power of the temple in Osgard, even if he escapes to the deserted deep mountains and old forests, he may be traced by professional hunters. And there is no plastic surgery in this world, and he is not capable of having the human skin mask in the novel even if it exists, and judging from the appeal situation, the chance of him being caught by escaping is as high as 80%! The remaining 20% is the chance of accidental death on the way to escape.
3. Normal escape will not work, with his current IQ, he has come to a conclusion that if he wants to successfully escape the pursuit of the temple, he must escape to a place that is difficult for the temple to control, and this place is obvious, suppressing the abyssal crack of the Demon Tower! The problem is that the danger of the Demon Tower is no less than that of other places.
Fourth, Alex is innocent, the temple is likely to judge him as an accomplice to blasphemy, if it weren't for Chen An's impulsive willfulness, he and Alex would definitely be fine, but the powerful temple noticed something wrong, and as a result, Chen An was involved in Alex, who had an unlimited future, which really made Chen An feel extremely guilty, so he had to take Alex out of this matter!
"Alex! it's all my fault! I hurt you!" Chen An hugged his head uncomfortably and sat on the edge of the bed in pain.
"Ann! it's useless to say anything now!, let's run away!" exclaimed Alex in frustration.
"I know a place where you can get away from the pursuit of the temple, but this place is very dangerous, I don't want you to be in the same situation as me, before leaving, I thought of a way to help you clear your name of blasphemy!" Chen An stared at Alex with red eyes. "Go to the temple and report me, Alex!"
