Chapter 125

"I can read minds. www.biquge.info "Garnif tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So, there are some things, you don't have to say it, I know the truth or the false." ”

I felt a chill rise from under my feet again, mind reading! Isn't that something that Old G's master can also do, how can Garnif!

Moreover, what secrets are there in front of mind reading? Those thoughts I had before would have been enough for me to die a thousand times!

"Oh, what do you think?" said Garnifer.

I was suddenly stunned, no, if it was really a mind reader, there was no reason for Garnif to ask me this! I remember that Old G's master knew what I was thinking even if he turned his back to me.

"Old G's master, the old man?" said Garnif, apparently interested, "Do you know him?"

I quickly shook my head: "No, no, I finally escaped from his hands, and I thought he was very good to me." ”

It's the truth.

Garnif nodded, sighed, and said, "That old guy and I haven't seen each other for more than twenty years...... He's okay. ”

"It's good. I replied casually, but I wondered, why did he ask me a question again?

"Huh?" said Garnifer, frowning, "you're not telling the truth. ”

My eyes widened immediately, and my mind skipped the figure of the old man with his back to me at the end, he was indeed very good, his body was very good, and he ate deliciously.

The corners of Garnif's mouth twitched, and he barely smiled, and then asked, "What is the idea that you said before, which is enough to make you die a thousand times?"

I couldn't help but start thinking about my thoughts, but ......

"Huh?" Garnif looked at me with a frown, "What the hell are you thinking!"

I was stunned, I swear, just now at that moment, I suddenly heard something faintly, whispering in my ear, but to listen carefully to what they were saying, I couldn't hear it clearly.

That's what I was thinking about.

Could it be that Garnif's mind reading skills were not complete, and he could only hear that person's thoughts at the moment?

So, in other words, he kept asking questions in order to capture the other party's subconscious thinking at the moment of receiving the question, to judge the truth or falsehood?

If so, it's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to fool you!

Wait, what I'm thinking about can't be read by him with his mind reading, right?

My eyes widened in horror, only to find that Garnif was tilted his head, very attentively distinguishing, but with a blank expression, and finally he looked at me blankly and said, "Your mind is very confused, why?"

I immediately said, "Well, it's because I'm so nervous because I've finally met you, the High Priest I've revered for a long time." ”

Garnif stared at me with a frown, I was really nervous.

"Okay...... Wasting so many words, back to my question," said Ganif, "and talk about that dream of yours." ”

I knew I had made it!

"My dream ......," I immediately began to talk eloquently, "to put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, to build a new world in which everyone is equal, free from oppression and harm, where farmers guard their land, herders livestock, soldiers burn the instruments of torture, and only need to defend the country." No one is higher than the other, and no one is born to be bullied, God created us to love each other, not to let us kill each other! Of course, in that kind of world, there must be a God, supreme, who rules all things, and arbitrates disputes, and this God must have divinity, worthy of the name, only in this way can the world have order and get the true light! This god is our Medius, purifying all sins and shining all the way forward! Of course, if the god Medius is busy, he can also trouble the high priest to do it for him, hehe......"

Garnif smiled: "You didn't tell the truth, or rather, the first half is still the truth, and the second half about the high priest is the lie you added." You should be doing it for you, right?"

It was as if I had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, and it became extremely difficult for me to breathe, so I struggled and waved my hand and said, "No...... I never thought about it...... It is true that my true thoughts should be replaced by a man of high moral standing who speaks enough to be worthy of the truth, but there are so many strife, so many selfishness and desires in this world, that there is almost no such perfection as God......! Of course, if the high priest is too polluted by worldly desires to assume the role of a just god, then his subjects elect someone to take the place of this god. But man's desires are filthy and omnipresent! In order for this change to take place, it is necessary to have an absolutely neutral, absolutely powerful arm, which does not fall to any side, but defends the solemnity and holiness of the throne with his life! This is what I have not said, although it is a bit perverse, but it is only a dream...... Just think about it......"

Garnif nodded quickly this time, "Well, that's the truth. "Actually, that's what I'm telling the truth.

"I have to say that your idea is actually not a big rebellion. "Two hundred years ago, when our Drua ruled Calradia, there was in fact a high priest who came up with a similar idea, and that was that the high priesthood was elected by the people. But ...... As you said, in this world, human desires are dirty and omnipresent, so it didn't take long for this idea to be tampered with and even destroyed. Actually, you are similar to me. Back then, when I was younger, I had this idea, but I couldn't do that, and there was a lesson from the past...... I'm sure you'll abandon such unrealistic ideas when you're my age. The throne must be in the hands of one person, and the change of the throne must be decided by that person, and no one else has the right to touch it. Only in this way, always insisting on the best candidates, can the divine position remain pure for a long time...... Of course, the contamination you are talking about is bound to happen, but compared to the idea of the Arabian Nights of the public election of the high priest, the bloodshed that occurs only once in a few hundred years is far less harmful than a conspiracy coup d'Γ©tat that occurs once every two or three years. ”

I stopped talking, there was some truth to what Ganif said, but it was completely different from my ideal world.

Garnif said so much in one breath, his originally dull face was a little red, he sighed, and said, "I haven't talked to people so much for a long time, and I usually talk to little Shirley." A person, old, sits in the altar every day, and sometimes he really feels like he is imprisoned. Thankfully, now I can still get out and talk to someone...... Little brother, your name is Emmons, isn't it? I've been to Calradia this time, and I've heard a lot of people talking about you. I'm finally relieved that the Order can have a young man like you...... I don't know how Xiaoyexiu is now, I've been to that valley to see, without her, she should have come out, avoiding me, and still hating me......"

I frantically controlled myself not to think about the night show, not to show any wrong expression on my face, and I didn't even keep thinking about other things to distract me, so that I couldn't get Garnif to read the fact.

I'm constantly pushing myself to forget about the night show at this moment.

Garnif touched his rough red nose, patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "You are still young and energetic, and you are not suitable to stay in a lifeless place like the Inquisition, I see that you are fighting very well, Stallone is just dead, you can take over the Fourth Legion in his place, I have full authority to entrust you, are you willing?"

I was stunned, I even stopped thinking, I stared blankly at Garnif, who was still tall and old, and I didn't know what to do.

Shirley behind him was also stunned, and then desperately glanced at me and asked me to nod.

"Would you like it, Emmons?" Garnif looked at me eagerly, a kind smile on his lips.

I finally nodded slowly with hesitation and disbelief. The High Priest of the Order was present, and those who were hiding behind the walls of the city and looking nervously to this side suddenly appeared, and at the very moment when Garnif led us back towards the wall, the whole hanging high drawbridge was suddenly lowered in a hurry, and at least dozens of people gathered out, wearing helmets and armor, and looked at Garnif with fanatical and reverent eyes.

At the same time, people kept poking their heads out of the culverts and city walls on both sides of the cliff, waving their hats and cheering.

The cheers grew louder and louder, and finally turned into a carnival, as if the headless corpse lying down there had nothing to do with them at all.

Garnif waved frequently, and each time he waved, he set off a frenzied cheer in the crowd. High Priest Garnif, in the minds of the dark cultists, is already the embodiment of a god!

These members of the sect are all at the bottom of the pyramid structure of the Order, and they can usually be excited and unable to sleep when they see the oracle, not to mention that they are now in face-to-face contact with the high priest?!

There were already many devout congregants prostrate on both sides of the road, kissing the dust under Ganif's feet, tears of excitement in their eyes.

There were also many congregants, who did not know whether it was because of excitement or ill health, and they fainted with cheers and cheers.

Where Ganif came, it was as if he had seen heaven.

Garnif, however, seemed to be oblivious to all this, smiling and waving his hand, and occasionally holding the hands of the elderly congregants to ask them to talk earnestly about their daily routines, diet, training conditions, training subjects and achievements, etc., and his concern was overflowing. The crowd was moved to tears when they saw the high priest condescending to ask about the details of their lives, and the elderly congregant closed his eyes in ecstasy and excitement and went to heaven.

Flowers continued to be sprinkled on both sides of the road, and the road in front of Garnif was covered with patches of black and oppressive congregation, and where he passed, countless people rushed to kiss the dirt that Garnif had stepped on, pushing and shoving, and even fighting.

We finally entered the city wall, surrounded by the frenzied crowd and cheered, and we were faced with a towering castle, just flush with the wall, and only a hundred meters away from the wall, at a distance from which a large number of crossbowmen gathered at the top of the castle should be able to deal an unexpected blow to the besiegers who broke through the wall.

Obviously, this ingenious design should be very useful in real combat!

Underneath the castle, there is a masonry podium, bypassing the podium and the castle, and behind it is a continuous two-story masonry dormitory, and a mountain basin that suddenly opens up, at least, from where I could not see the end at all.

Here, if the supply conditions keep up, at least 30,000 soldiers can be stationed!

While I was still surveying my surroundings, Garnif flew up to the top of the castle in a daze, in full view of everyone. This hand was quite beautiful, and the sect members, who had just quieted down, erupted into a frenzied cheer like a fryer.

Shirley also floated up, but it was clear that she was drifting with some difficulty, and although she barely got up, it was not comparable to Garnif's ease.

Garnif cleared his throat and effortlessly delivered the sound to everyone's ears, and the moment he spoke, all the noise was silenced, except for the gaze that was so hot that it almost made the temperature rise several degrees, and fixed on Garnif's robe.

"Children," said Garnif, "Hello! I have come to see you!"

All of a sudden, dozens of people fainted in a wave of extreme happiness.

"Children," said Ganif, "you are all children of the Order, good children of the god of fire of Medius, but I am not a good high priest, and I have not come to see you for a long time...... But now, here I am, and I've seen with my own eyes, you're all the best kids!"

Crazy cheers!

"I know that there are some rumors circulating among you that I am dying, and I don't ask about the Order, that the Order has been stolen by a few people, and that there is no tomorrow ......for the Order," Garnif said slowly, and after a pause, the atmosphere was suddenly cold to freezing, and I could almost see an atmosphere called tension with my eyes.

Garnif shook his head and continued: "Those who spread these rumors are shameful traitors, spies! It is the so-called righteous men who are afraid of the rumors that they have walked in order to prevent us from exposing their ugly true colors and from destroying their shameful greed based on the suffering of the people, because we are already strong, we are strong enough to overthrow them, judge them, and punish them! We are as strong as we were thirty years ago, and even more than thirty years ago!"

"That's right, thirty years ago, I made a mistake......" Garnif's voice suddenly became hoarse and painful, "I shouldn't have relaxed my supervision of the children when victory was imminent...... Emmons said it well, human greed and lust are filthy and omnipresent! At the time of such victory, the desire of the few has finally become the reason and excuse for the greed of the majority! They have killed wantonly, defiled the sacred flame of judgment with destruction and sin, and they have brought destruction and calamity to the innocent who are not guilty! They have forgotten the original purpose of our Braca Church, they have forgotten that we want to speak evil for the poor and bring hope to the oppressed and oppressed in this world! They are the sinners of Calradia, and they are our sinners! They have driven us out of Calradia by the crowd of onlookers who do not know the truth, and they have made our common dream come to naught, and they have caused the greedy lust of a few people to continue to burn our brothers, our siblings, and our compatriots inch by inch in this land!

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of people roared in unison at this moment, their souls, their thoughts, had been completely controlled by Garnif!

Garnifer nodded: "That's right, you should be killed! Your previous legionary commander, Stallone, took some of you not long ago and did the same thing, bringing the flames of disaster to innocent civilians, they desecrated the pure flame! I want to ask those involved, are you not ashamed? Do you not realize your filth and sin? Do you still have the face to stand here and enjoy the blessings of the god Medius with us!"

When Garnif said these last few words, his voice was already violent, and with the change of emotion in his voice, the black and oppressive people below were already angry, or expressing their attitudes, or cursing, or roaring, as if they were their family members who were burned and looted by Stallone.

Every five minutes, hundreds of people were punched and kicked by other congregants, kneeling under the podium, shivering like chaff.

Garnifer looked at the fallen group of people and said calmly, "Receive your sins with reverence, for the great god Medius will forgive your sins and will not take your sins out on your families, past and present lives." ”

As soon as Garnifer had said this, I saw that the trembling men below miraculously stopped shaking, and one by one they raised their heads with tears in their eyes, stared at Garnif reverently, and shouted loudly, "Long live the High Priest!" and "The god Medius is great and immortal!" and so on, and pulled out the short knife at his waist, and stabbed it into his chest with a brush, and his movements were fierce and resolute, and he was unstoppable.

I was taken aback.

Garnif's voice actually choked, and he trembled: "All good children, all good children...... Children, though I have executed the punishment in the place of the great god Medius, my heart is aching, trembling with pain! Children, their knives are like piercing my own! You must be well, and do not let me receive such ...... again It's painful!"

Weeping rang out below, and many fell to their knees hysterically, swearing curses.
