Chapter 625: The Trial of the Soul
"Walk in the Darkness and Obey the Light ......"
Everyone murmured, the look in their eyes gradually cleared, and when they finally looked up, there was no longer the slightest confusion and melancholy in their eyes, and they all saluted respectfully towards the Hall of the Knight of the Apocalypse and Rod, and their mouths shouted,
"Your Holiness the Pope, we get it!"
"Good. ”
Looking at everyone's eyes and expressions, Rod bowed slightly, then opened his hands, his lips squirmed, and a thunderous voice exploded between heaven and earth,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the trial of the Knight of the Apocalypse is about to ...... Here we go!"
It was a ritual of miracles and trials that were not destined to be carried out in the eyes of the public, but only in a place where no one could cheer and applaud them.
Moreover, when these Preparatory Knights pass the trial, they will become Knights of the Apocalypse, and they will be completely hidden in the darkness, and they may not have the opportunity to go to the light again in this life, only the evil heretics will be able to see their faces before the temporary.
Their names will not be remembered by the world.
However, none of the five hundred reserve knights present regretted it, and their eyes flashed with heat and excitement, and they slowly walked towards the Hall of the Knights of the Apocalypse.
Then, Rhodes led everyone to the door of the Hall of the Knight of the Apocalypse, unlike when they looked at it from a distance before, when these reserve knights really faced the Knight Hall of the Apocalypse, they really felt the horror of their breath, and their bodies couldn't stop trembling slightly.
In front of the temple gate, there are statues of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, symbolizing war, famine, plague, and death, they seem to be sleeping gods, as long as they are called by the Dao Ancestor, they can wake up at any time.
Just like the two statues in front of the Paladin's Temple.
"Praise Dao Ancestor!"
Immediately, the five hundred reserve knights of the Inquisition knelt down on one knee and performed a standard knightly salute towards the four knight statues, praying reverently.
At this time, Nakaqi couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, as a veteran of Taoism, his strength was not weak and he had already received the divine grace of Dao Ancestor a long time ago, but when he took over the inquisition, he could only watch the guys around him surpass him one by one.
It's not that they surpass themselves in terms of strength, but the scale of the guardian center, the indoctrination center and other departments far surpasses their inquisition, and even the later paladin hall is more powerful than them.
Although Rhodes has never treated him badly, although his strength as a knight of judgment will not be inferior to that of the Golden Saint Seiya, but that is not what he wants, what he really wants is that the members of the Inquisition can become strong, led by him, and spread glory for Dao Ancestor.
For example, with the appearance of the Knight Hall today, his wish can finally come true.
"Dao Ancestor is above, brave warriors who aspire to become the Knights of the Apocalypse, these four statues are the incarnation of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the embodiment of faith. ”
Rod held his hands slightly, as if there was a soft and powerful force to hold everyone up, and his mouth was shouting,
"Take a good look, only by comprehending their spirit can you be qualified to become a true Knight of the Apocalypse!"
When the words fell, five hundred people were shocked and looked at the statues of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and at this moment, among the four statues, there was also a gorgeous but not dazzling light, which was full of pure and rich dark power.
The crowd was frightened, but soon attracted by the light, and they prayed devoutly, and the light swallowed up all the five hundred reserve knights.
This is where the sifting of the mind begins......
Dakdath was one of the five hundred reserve knights, and the moment he was enveloped in light, he suddenly felt his mind and even his soul tremble, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
He found himself in a sea of fire, and a large group of infidels were massacring Taoist members and believers, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and his whole person fell into a state of rage, he took out his spear and fought the infidels in front of him.
A stab, a split, a stroke......
In an instant, the infidels were slain one after another, but in the end, he froze, because there were only two enemies left in front of him, but one of these two enemies was a weak girl, and the other was a child of only two or three years old, and the helpless eyes full of fear made people's hearts ache when they saw it.
Dakdas couldn't help but put down the spear in his hand, but at this moment, he inadvertently saw the corpse lying on the ground, and the empty and desperate eyes behind the Taoist sect members made his heart sad, and the spear he put down was raised again.
"For the sake of Taoism, what's the harm if your conscience is extinguished!"
There was a loud explosion, and I saw Dakdas assassinate the child and girl in front of him without hesitation.
"You despicable heretics, you dare to kill the people of my sect and blaspheme the divine power of the Dao Ancestor, your soul will never be reborn in the darkness!"
Blood stained his face red again, and Dakdas suddenly felt his head clear again, and his eyes opened slightly, only to realize that he was still in the same place.
It turned out that the massacre was nothing more than an illusion, and around him, the rest of the people who had been tested also came to their senses one by one, but many of the reserve knights had a look of chagrin and remorse on their faces.
Through the words of these people, Dakdas knew that they had seen the same scene as him, but they had made the wrong choice, and in the end they had not been able to let go of the last mercy in their hearts, and they had spared the child and the girl, or just one of them.
But no matter which choice, there is only one result, that is, they are finally killed by the seemingly poor and innocent children and girls with sneak attacks.
While experiencing the very real touch of death, they were also informed by the Temple of their failure in the event of a trial with a message of consciousness.
According to statistics, only about 200 people successfully passed the trial before this temple gate, but looking at those who failed, the hearts of those preparatory knights who successfully passed the trial were also complicated, on the one hand, they were glad that they had made the right choice, and on the other hand, they felt blamed for killing children and girls with their own hands.
"I know that many of you have difficulty accepting this kind of trial, but this is a choice that those who walk in the dark must face, and only those who pass and firmly pass the trial can become the Knight of the Apocalypse and become the blade in the hands of the Dao Ancestor. ”
Rod saw everyone's reaction, and then said slowly,
"Now, those who fail the trial and are unwilling to continue should retreat, if they can't adapt to the darkness but persevere, they will only break down their hearts and become evil demons!"
