Chapter 195: In front of the Temple
"Guys, we're going back here after we've sent you here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" In the square in front of the main entrance of the huge temple, Syra and Sarn stopped, pointed to the main entrance of the temple and said, "We won't go inside. ā
"Huh?" Catherine asked suspiciously, "Why? The temple is not supposed to be open to believers, so why can't you go in?"
"Sister, this is not an ordinary temple, if you compare it with the churches of other gods, oh, let's use the analogy of the Earth Church, which is equivalent to the Holy Land of the Earth Church in Neville City. Lina explained to Catherine in a low voice: "The Earth Church is quite close to the people, and the outer part of the Holy Domain will be open to believers, and many of the Church's Holy Domains are closed, and only open to the most core believers at very special times. ā
"Well, maybe that's the way you live, but that's not the reason for us. Sila's denial made the priest girl's face instantly redden, and although the female ghost found out, she continued: "Actually, this can no longer be regarded as a temple, the master has been living in his own kingdom for all these years, and can only be reached through a door in the center of the temple. Only upon advent and return to the kingdom of God will the master appear in the temple, so the temple has lost its original meaning. Now the king has been living in the temple, on the one hand, to guard the gate to the kingdom of God for the master, and on the other hand, it is more convenient to communicate with the master, so it is not so much a temple as a palace, and we generally do not enter the palace because it is the king's territory. ā
"It's easy to communicate with the gate, but it's just because it's spacious enough. Panis pouted and said, "Then your king will save many, many things." ā
"You know too much. Siara mimicked the way Pannis had threatened Lina and made the same move: "We didn't say that. ā
"Thank you both. Catherine bowed solemnly to Sahn and Ciara again: "It's an honor to be friends with both of you, and if we have a chance to leave, we will definitely visit them again." ā
"Then we're looking forward to it. Sira nodded, with a little kindness in her expression: "You guys are very interesting, I like you, I hope we won't be enemies." ā
"I hope so. Catherine tapped her right hand on her chest and responded with knightly courtesy: "Well, I hope we can meet again." ā
"Alright, let's go, let's go in. Pannis forcibly turned Catherine, who was watching the two undead leaders leave, "Those who want to see us can't wait. ā
"I can be sure now. Catherine said thoughtfully, "You are not at all worried. ā
"Because you have to face it no matter what, so now there is no need to worry. Pannis shrugged and said, "Just face it." ā
"No, I'm not talking about yourself. Catherine shook her head and said, "Even if you have entrusted Sarn and Syra, you must also know that it is impossible to guarantee my safety 100%, theoretically speaking, you should not be as worried as you are now, unless, you have a new reliance, so that you no longer have to worry about whether we will be killed by the angry undead." ā
"Well, sort of. Pannis was stunned, he didn't expect Catherine to be so sensitive, so he could only say with a wry smile: "I don't deny your speculation." ā
"Let's go, then. Catherine winked mischievously, and was very clever not to continue to ask, but took Pannis's arm and said, "Didn't you say that he couldn't wait?"
"Okay. Pannis smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, there was nothing he could do about the knight girl's clever and excessive behavior, so he could only sigh and say, "You will soon know the answer." ā
Turning around and walking through the square, there is the familiar staircase in front of the main entrance of the temple, the square is empty, although there are often undead near the temple, but no undead have really entered the area of the temple, and even if they need to take a detour, they will not cross the square in order to get closer. Obviously, it's not just Sarn and Sira who are reluctant to enter the temple, it seems that all the undead are not very willing. Although the girls felt strange, they did not explore the truth, but climbed the ladder on their own as if they had not found out. In the past few years, even the girls have climbed the exact same stone steps more than once, and entered the temple like a mirror image, and the height and number of stone steps have been memorized by the girls.
When everyone stepped up the final staircase, the heavy closed door of the temple came into view. In the original story told by Pannis, the two lines of words engraved on the gate to show the majesty of the god of death are gone, replaced by another line of words, the words are no longer written in the divine script, but the lingua franca, which the girls can understand, and it is precisely because they understand the proverbs on the door that a smile appears on the corners of the girls' mouths. The book of Proverbs is clear and simple: "Even if you sleep in death, never give up hope." ā
"Really...... It's like Nelly-sama's style. Catherine knelt on one knee in front of the gate with reverence, the spine of her one-handed sword pressed against her eyebrows, which was the highest courtesy for the followers of knights to face the knights they followed.
"yes, standard knightly style. Pannis shook his head and sighed, stepped forward and gently stroked himself on the door, and said in a gentle voice: "So, you haven't given up hope, but are you really confident that you can maintain your hope forever?
"How do we get in?" Catherine asked, finishing her courtesy, standing up, "There doesn't seem to be anything like a doorbell to inform inside." ā
"Yes, not really. Pannis nodded: "Theoretically, this door can be pushed open directly with force, however, these two doors are very heavy, although Mina seemed to push the door open very easily, but it was because she used the power of the dragon, even if I want to push them open, I have to use the fighting spirit to strengthen the strength to do it." ā
Several people were discussing, the jade gate suddenly shook violently, and then the ground began to shake continuously, and the two doors immediately opened slowly to both sides, although the process seemed slow and heavy, but the door shaft did not make a sound, giving people an indescribable weird feeling.
"The friend who greeted the host has arrived. Pannis looked at the slowly opening door and said leisurely, "What a surprise." ā
In fact, there is nothing surprising, inside the gate, several skeletons are distributed on both sides of the gate, and they are pulling together, and the gate is slowly opening under the power of the skeletons.
"Is that you?" Through the cracks in the door that grew larger and larger, the skeletons that were dragging the door inside appeared in front of the girls, and the moment they saw each other, Vivien's hands had reached into the pockets of the work group, and they were ready to fight.
