The Templar, the Holy See, and the Church correspond to the different levels of branches of the Dawn Sect.

As one of the six satellite cities of the original Gongwei Imperial Capital, the "Holy Church" was dedicated to the headquarters, and because most of the human beings believed in the God of Light, coupled with the growth over the years, it gradually broke away from the jurisdiction of the imperial capital and became the first autonomous city of the Silver Empire. The 'Holy See' in the royal city was both a royal offering and a backup place for the Holy Church in case of accidents. At the bottom, the 'church' is much simpler, and is simply a collective term for all the local branches.

Even though it was no longer a satellite city under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial capital, the Dawn Sect still maintained close contact with the Emperor, ordinary believers were free to enter and leave the four city gates, and high-ranking members could walk in the inner imperial city without even proving it, which was a special honor bestowed by the royal family on the Dawn Sect to demonstrate its status as a state religion and its reverence for the gods.

Therefore, when the people saw that the Knight of Dawn gave up the privilege of riding horses in the city, and led a group of hillbillies who came out of nowhere, on foot, towards the Holy See, they were both curious and puzzled. They had the impression that the Knights of the Dawn, as high-ranking and elite warriors of the Church, never participated in the work of guiding ordinary believers. Some people even recognized the young Knight of Dawn as the candidate for the chief knight who had been in the limelight in recent years, known as the once-in-a-century genius Yurian, because of his fiery temper and civilian background, he has always been one of the most talked about objects after dinner.

On the way to lead the way, Julian is also secretly observing.

Unlike the stiff druids, the Children of Nature do not react to the unabashed talk and gaze of the crowd.

Although he didn't like it in his heart, Julian still wanted to praise his determination. If it were him, he would be a little impetuous in the face of so many onlookers and discussions, but that one was unmoved. It's as if everything around you has nothing to do with you. But this little bit of complete appreciation did not dispel Yuri's indignation.

On the grounds of the oracle, the high priest left the great chapel that was not allowed to leave without permission for non-important matters, and stayed in the imperial capital for half a year, and the whole sect was panicked, thinking that the next generation of high priests would be born in the imperial capital. To this day, the High Priest, who had been meditating for many days, suddenly gave an order. Sending Julian to greet the apostles of the Pillar of the Earth outside the West White Gate, the congregation realized that the original 'oracle' referred to the children of nature, not the new high priest.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but be disappointed. Julian is also one of the many Lost, who was gifted as a commoner, joined the Church at the age of eight, and was promoted to Knight of the Dawn at the age of fourteen. Sixteen was appointed as one of the successors of the Knight Chief, breaking many records of the sect one after another, becoming the youngest in history. This time, the High Priest received the oracle, and he thought that he would be elected the youngest Knight Chief, if not the youngest spokesperson for Dawn in history. Unexpectedly, the oracle was not addressed to him, not even to the members of the Church.

As for the oracle object that the high priest had been waiting for for half a year, Julian could not find any other word to describe it than 'mediocre'. The only thing that's impressive. It's just a pair of pupils as deep as the night, with insights that people don't want to look at. The moment of eye contact. Julian sensed the sudden rise and calm of the killing intent. To be honest, he almost drew his sword, instinct and years of training made Julian subconsciously defend himself and fight back, but at the same time as he held the hilt of the sword, the inexplicable killing intent of the child of nature disappeared.

For this missed battle. Julian was remorseful. I know that I can't, but I also want to give it a try urgently, to see how much distance there is between myself who is called a genius and transcendent sanctification.

In the unstoppable speculation, the circular avenue that runs through the imperial capital finally came to an end - the Holy See in the east of the city.

Feeling the holy power exuding from the complex, the druids led by Jafar stopped at the same time. They are believers in the pillars of the earth. Without the consent of Dawn, he was not allowed to enter the temple to which he belonged.

Seeing that the child of nature had no intention of stopping, Jafar had to remind him. His "Your Excellency" drew the attention of everyone, from ordinary worshippers to cultists dressed in religious cedars, and even the guards standing guard cast a concerned glance at them. There are so many nobles in the imperial capital that you can fish out a few on the street, and these countrymen who are so plainly dressed that they can almost be regarded as beggars actually call your Excellency, and you have to guess the identity of the young man who walks side by side with Dawn.

The power of light, which had been relatively quiet, swelled suddenly, and Link made the decision to go to the appointment alone to see what Elias wanted to convey to himself through his earthly spokesperson.

"Ilyas has promised me only one person, so wait here. ”

An understatement shocked everyone.

This person is so bold! Ordinary people rarely even use nicknames like Chenxi, let alone call them by their real names without embellishment.

Although the druid sweated at Link's audacity, he still stood outside the gates of the Holy See according to his orders.

Julian couldn't hide his surprise that the Apostle of the Pillar of Earth would be so arrogant. This was not the first time he had seen a child of nature, two years ago he had seen the Apostle of the Wind Pillar on behalf of the Church, a flamboyant but steady elemental lord, who was intimidating without words, with his own aura alone, and it was also the first time that Julian, who claimed to be a genius, had seen a transcendent saint outside of the High Priest. But even that one wouldn't do such a bold thing as calling the gods by their real names. At the very least, an honorific title will be added. What's more, Dawn and Zhu are both the first generations, and there is no such thing as dignity or inferiority.

What's the matter with this guy? It's just that the Apostle Hel, who is far less powerful than the Wind Pillar. What makes him so confident......

Julian's belly came to an abrupt end with the presence of the High Priest, and Andres, who had not been seen in front of anyone for a long time, appeared in a golden sacrificial garment and a triple crown on his head, in a formal attire that was rarely used. Both believers and believers bowed down one after another to pay their respects to the second person in the empire, who was second only to the emperor in terms of status and power.

"Good day, apostle of the Pillar of the Earth. Andrés held his staff in one hand and stroked his chest in the other, the highest courtesy he could give as the earthly spokesperson of Dawn.

"Good day, High Priest. Link nodded, he wasn't a very polite person. However, this time he did not call Andres the spokesperson of Dawn, but used a more familiar name, by position.

Andres turned sideways. led Link into the Hall of Glory, which was closed to the public, and kept all suspicions out of the door. People were asking, who was this Altyn man who was dressed rustically but dared to call the name of the god, and who could be summoned by the high priest himself?

With the mission completed, Julian can finally justifiably look at the first child of nature to come to the imperial capital on his own initiative in a thousand years.

Ignoring the divine power that can be described as nothing, and then removing the distinguishing features of the Altyn people, no one in the crowd will notice his existence at all. Whether it's temperament or ...... Suddenly, Julian realizes that he has made a low-level mistake. If you don't have a distinctive appearance. Who would notice such a person? He is a child of nature, and he has a status and rank no less than that of the High Priest, but he is always overlooked by people, and this hidden skill alone should not be underestimated.

Divine Word or Causal? The former is fine, but if it's the latter......

"Be careful!"

A shout interrupted Julian's thoughts, and he turned slightly to see the knight captain Otto, who had stood behind him at some point, glaring at him with displeasure on his face.

"Commander. Julian used the usual name of the Knight of the Dawn, avoiding another title he had always disliked: Knight Captain, the second man of the Cult of Dawn.

"Your eyes are too presumptuous. ”

"That's when you didn't see what the other person was saying or doing. In comparison, I think I'm pretty ......."

"Shut up!" Otto scolded, "you think you can compete with him?"

Forcibly interrupted for the second time, Julian's hypocritical smirk froze.

"I have stressed to you time and time again that the Children of Nature are different from other oracles. They have unimaginable powers, as long as they don't touch the 'bottom line', even the great sages on the ladder of heaven can't match them. ”

Julian lowered his head and pressed his resentment and rebellion into his eyes: "Follow the teachings. ”

Suddenly there was a golden light in front of him. Julian and Otto looked at each other at the same time, only to see a dazzling light emanating from the body of the High Priest Andres. Envelop him and the children of nature one step away.

"Oracle!"

"May the light be forever!"

Seeing this, the believers knelt down one after another, and the voices of praise and prayer were endless.

To believers, the divine power is as warm as the winter sun, but to Link it is like the heat of hellfire.

It was right to leave Jafar outside, the power of light was beyond the reach of the druids...... No, not even me. It can't withstand such heat until it is recognized by the Pillar of Fire.

The skin, muscles, and even bones had become as red as a soldering iron under the divine power of the God of Light, and if it weren't for the power of the pillars, they would have turned to black ash like the cotton and linen clothes they were wearing.

Andrés' eyes changed from initial scrutiny to astonishment, and from solemnity to calm.

Gold turns to incandescent, and the intricate and gorgeous temple becomes a pure white space.

Link confronts Elias's presence for the second time. This time. The god of light appeared in the form of an old man, his golden hair dragging to the ground, and his face full of wrinkles was full of vicissitudes, which was in stark contrast to the last vigorous young boy.

"See you again, Lifeweaver of the Otherworld. ”

He is also the god of time who is in charge of the light, and since he can Link send to the past, he will definitely be able to see through the future.

For this great god with the same power and status as the pillar, Link wanted to ask the most, why did he give the traitor Julian the privilege to keep the Bright Seal after the transformation of the undead?

"I thought you would ask him why he betrayed. The aged Ilias smiled indifferently.

"Knowing the consequences, he still chooses to transform, his determination is unquestionable, and I never ask why for the inevitable consequences. I just want to know why you, as a god who can truly foresee the past and the future, give him the privilege of upsetting the balance?" Link wanted to know not about Julian's reason for rebellion, but about Elias's indulgence after his rebellion. Not to mention the punishment for rebellion, just recovering the Holy Seal can curb the undead from being overwhelmed on the battlefield. Frost Cold's mind and means are powerful, after all, they are undead who are normally transformed, and even if they have the protection of death, they can't resist the power of the opposing gods, otherwise they won't hide in the human world for decades because the life box is broken. It is conceivable that when the two armies faced each other, the Dawn Sect's killer weapon that did not hesitate to sacrifice itself could not annihilate the despair of the enemy general.

"It's about the reason for his betrayal. Ilyas's answer was always succinct, never saying a word.

"Why did he choose to transform the undead?" Since he couldn't avoid this, Link simply obeyed the other party's wishes, but to his surprise, Ilias refused to say.

"If I could tell you directly, why should I send you to this age? Some people and some things need to be verified by you for the answer to be meaningful. ”

Link's expression sank.

If he had to choose between a meaningful answer and a life lost to war, he would not hesitate to choose the latter.

I don't care if Julian is in the middle of the second year or trying to be the second Hicks, for any reason, I can't weigh so many lives on the scales.

"Huh. Ilyas chuckled, "It seems to me that his behavior is no different from the twins you swore to protect in the first place." ”

This made Link's heart shocked, many of the things he did after crossing over to Edgar are shocking in the eyes of the world, but the only thing about protecting the twins by himself is the only one Link thinks he has 'gone too far'. Not only is it beyond its own capabilities, but it also lacks consideration from the big picture. He has mixed too much personal emotion in this matter, so to speak, he has violated the authority of the Child of Nature, and even if he is disqualified for this, there is nothing to say.

However, Elias mentions this not to pursue it, but to give it a simple example, so that Link can understand that he is not accusing Julian of his position.

"You don't regret it, and neither does he. I am the god of light, in charge of time and justice, and I am not biased by birth or ability. He questioned the gods and the world, and I promised him that he would not be annihilated by my power until I saw it with my own eyes, which was my promise as the first and believing God. ”

Ilias raised his hands, and Link's deeply unbearable divine power dimmed with the light. Then, he found that the Divine Presence had ended, and he was still standing on the main hall of the Hall of Glory, surrounded by a group of Dawn Cultists who were kneeling under the black pressure, and the High Priest looked at him with a faint expression, and his strange eyes made Link, who had long been accustomed to onlookers, feel pressure.

"The oracle has been sent down, and the apostles of the Pillars of the Earth are asked to follow the guidance of the morning light. Julian. ”

The young knight, who had been named, immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

"You can set off and lead the griffons and Befast to the north to support the allies of the Grand Duke of Cork and the Glowing Elves. ”

If it was still a little unclear before, Andrés's words made Link completely sober up.

The Third Northern Campaign, a crucial battle that reversed the fate of history and mankind, must have been the root cause of Julian's rebellion.

Elias's explanation is still in my ears - only the answers that I have witnessed are meaningful.

The answer, even at the risk of being punished by the law, is on the battlefield in the north. (To be continued.) )
