1345 The Reversal of the Heart (1)

"Got it, got it......"

The summer cicada chirped tirelessly, tearing open the almost frozen air of the afternoon. It was almost early autumn, it seemed to be particularly sultry, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the direct sunlight smeared the originally green grass with a layer of white light, which made people dazzle.

A temple priest walked into a remote courtyard with a sneaky look, the shade of the trees splashed on him, looked left and right, the priest cautiously pushed open the door of the courtyard, entered a room on the left, and cautiously knocked on the door, "Who!" came a deliberately suppressed low voice "I, Morton!"

The door opened a thin crack, and the priest hurriedly walked in, and in the dark light, he could faintly see more than a dozen people talking in a low voice, and when he saw the door open, the eyes of all the people in the room were focused,

"It's me, Morton" He lowered the hood to cover his face, revealing the priest's somewhat pale face and bloodshot eyes, he picked up the water cup on the table in front of him, took a few sips, and said, "What the hell, the Imperial Army has really lifted the blockade!"

Without waiting for the priest to put down the water glass, a middle-aged priest with flaxen hair stood up from his seat and asked eagerly, "What you said is true?

The others were also excited, and looked at the companion who had risked his life to check on the situation. Most of them were dressed in the same priestly robes as those who came in, and their faces were pale and haggard.

They are all the high priests of the temple, the imperial army blocked the entire holy mountain the night before, and the connection between the upper and lower levels was completely severed, plus the group knelt in front of the supreme temple for a day yesterday, the priest's body was not strong, and when they were put back last night, they all seemed to be bones scattered, and the only thing I felt fortunate about was this morning. With the presence of the high priest Parschena, the empire no longer forces the priests to kneel in the temple en masse.

But to be on the safe side, they sent two careful companions out to investigate, and the one who came back was one of them

Everyone's nervous eyes were focused on the priest who came in, all waiting for an answer, and after about half a minute, the temple priest put down the water glass, licked his lips, and said with his eyes open angrily, "What?" You don't believe me!

"I walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain three times, except for a small number of patrols, there was not even the shadow of the army on the mountain road, and the patrols did not care about the people who came and went, and they were not even interested in checking them, like guards who were leisurely maintaining order, and I even saw a patrol captain showing the way to a lost believer! If I hadn't seen them for what they really were, I would have been moved by these devils" "Show the way? Are you kidding, are you talking about the Imperial Army, or the Security Force?"

A middle-aged priest with flaxen hair interrupted him. He pursed his lips, obviously not believing it, "Morton, this idiot, must not have dared to go out to see it at all, and he is afraid that we will laugh at it." So just make up a situation to lie to us!"

The others also burst into laughter, "How is it possible for the Imperial Army to help the civilians! You must not have woken up from your dreams."

It's no wonder that the Templars recognized that the Templars' headquarters had always been on Salander's side during the Visa War. The propaganda for the Falcon Army is also mostly negative, even if it is later attached to the Empire, for the priests who rarely go out, under the admissible propaganda of some people, the image of the Imperial Army has always been the image of an executioner, a brutal army under the command of a tyrant who destroys the miè world "You ......" Hearing the mocking laughter of his companions, the priest's face turned red with grievance, "Morton, I know your concerns" The middle-aged priest with flaxen hair suppressed his smile and said Everyone saw yesterday's situation, the murderous aura of the imperial army is enough to make people tremble even if it is just a gaze, it is a real army, it can't be seen in the past, once it is time to use it, it is completely brutal, synonymous with killing, even if you say that you are afraid to go, we don't blame you, but if you say that such an army will take care of civilians, isn't that playing us as children" "Believe it or not! I just said what I saw, and I don't rule out the possibility that the imperial army has a superficial cover-up!" Priest Morton was very dissatisfied, and said loudly, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself, anyway, that's the case!" "Okay guys, don't forget that we are all fighting for the future of the temple!" A cold voice interrupted everyone's laughter, and in the middle of the priesthood, a slender figure in plain clothes slowly stood up;

The figure who stood up was wearing a white hood on his head, and he couldn't see his specific appearance, but the cuffs of his clothes could faintly see the reflection of the armor, and it was obvious that he was wearing knight's armor inside, and his slender figure, although shrouded in wide plain clothes, could also be seen to be a woman.

The mellow and moving low voice revealed a sideways calmness in the darkness, and the eyes under the hood were bright and terrifying "Whether it is true or not, at least we should be grateful to Morton for risking his life to bring back the intelligence that is vital to us" The mysterious woman said "At present, it seems that the empire is likely to have given up the plan to continue the blockade, after all, the time is too short, the holy maiden ceremony is tomorrow, then the mountain must be crowded with people, in front of everyone, even if it is the empire, what can it do?" Unless the entire temple is eradicated, they will have no choice but to compromise with us!" "Take it easy, isn't it great, the situation that Morton brought back just proves that we were right!" The mysterious woman smiled and raised the cup in her hand to everyone, and said, "The empire is just a foreign power, and one day, we can make the divine and the secular kingship equal in this land! This will be the beginning of a new era for the temple!" It was the beginning of God's coming, and even the prophets of the day could not have done it! And we did! Come, let's raise a glass to the God of the sky!

'Praise the god of the sky!'" Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, their eyes were full of heat, and the rapid knock on the door made everyone who was about to celebrate stunned for a moment, and after asking a question at the door, a crack in the door opened, and a figure floated in, and the sacrificial robe on his body indicated that the second person who went to investigate had returned, "Hobert, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the second priest who walked in and was in charge of exploring the city, the mysterious woman put down the hat on her head, revealing a head of golden curls like a waterfall, and her slender eyebrows were full of feminine beauty, with a delicate posture, a high nose, and deep eyes, which was a kind of cold and gorgeous. That mature style made the dark space brighter too, and she looked at the wolf appearance of the second priest, and her graceful eyebrows moved slightly, "Out...... Something is wrong" The man known as Hobart leaned his back against the door, bent over and panting for breath, his head covered in sweat, and it looked like he was running back as fast as he could. )
