Almost at the same time as Odin Diggs set off for Nanfeng, Archmage Rose finally arrived at the Sanctuary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Covered in blood and too weak to even perform the "Riding Technique", he carried a severe, blood-stained arm through the jungles and plains of the central part of the empire, and then over the huge Holy Spirit Mountains, along the snow-capped road, bumpy for nearly three days, and finally entered a pinnacle wrapped in a sea of clouds - this is the Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary was surprisingly cold, covered in snow all year round, and the snow was as soft as a cloud, covered with blue and gem-like holy springs, and the heat melted the surrounding snow, revealing the rune array of alabaster stones all around. Walking on the snow, the sky is the same color as the ground, making it difficult to tell whether you are walking in the air or falling into the dust.

The snow cliff where the Sanctuary is located stretches for hundreds of miles, surrounded by clouds and mist that roll like the sea and howling winds, ordinary people standing on it will definitely be swept off the cliff, and at the edge of the snow area, a magic circle of incandescent stone is exposed, in the shape of a cross star.

The two ends of the circle depict the black and white moons, the heavens and the earth, extending to the end of the snowy region, covering a calm world like a mirrored world, while outside the sheltered range, the wind and snow roar, swirling air currents and snow storms, making it impossible to open your eyes and stand firm.

In the center of the circle, a tall sanctuary pierces the sky, the whole sanctuary is made of incandescent stone, countless spires stretch into the sky like white bone spurs, and the overlapping ribbed vaults are inlaid with reliefs of saints, holy sees, and true gods, and in the middle is dreamlike stained glass, surrounded by suspended spiral stairs and flying buttresses.

The acolyte walked on it, in the air of tens of meters, as if there was nothing under his feet, and stepped into the sky.

Archmage Rose had finally stepped out of the snowstorm and the wind into this earthly realm, and he had been infinitely devout to this land of heaven and man in the past, but now, he only looked at it with extreme exhaustion, and then fell headlong.

The Visiting Acolyte carried him into the fountain - and he gradually regained his strength, and hurriedly inquired about the whereabouts of the Holy Priest of Pariva, and was told that in order to prevent the air from corroding his body, he had entered the fountain to hibernate and await the trial of the Eternal Order.

Ross crawled out of the spring despite his weakness, his skin and his internal organs frozen in ice by the cold wind, and he shook open the door of the Sanctuary and entered a small attic, the residence of his mentor, the Divine Envoy Andre.

André stood in front of the stained glass, his face also shrouded in a ray of light, blurred - the result of the overflow of spiritual power. He was a pioneer of the Sasha family in Howling Winds, and is now disconnected from the world.

When he saw Andre in the past, Rose always looked up and admired, and when he saw him again, he was timid and suspicious in his heart.

"Honorable Divine Envoy, I have come from the city of Pariva to inquire about the status of the Holy Priest. ”

"That coward!" As soon as he entered the Divine Domain, he demanded that the Eternal Order send an army to sweep away Pariva, claiming that the Twin Moon Continent had been infested by the devil, and that if the filth was not expelled, the entire empire would fall. ”

"Look, he and his priesthood were unscathed, and the Pariva Inquisition that came later accused him of deserting and surrendering Pariva to Carter Larson, the son of sinners!"

Andrei said almost without emotion, as if talking about a trivial matter.

"In order to reconcile these troublesome little contradictions, we forced John into hibernation, and the Pariva Inquisitor and the Priesthood were quarantined until the other two Holy Priests came, and the Eternal Order would decide on the matter. ”

Archmage Ross saluted palely, and Andrei's tone softened: "Son, you are the most gifted mage in the empire in twenty years, and if it weren't for the Larsen family's connections, John was removed, you would be the holy priest of Pariva City. ”

These words are only an ethereal promise, and the power of the oracle is to bring a sense of care to anyone, even if he does not care about everyone, and to make people admire and fear.

But Rose knew that even if he had nothing to do with the Larson family, the position of the Holy Priest would not be given to him as an illegitimate child, and the archmage had never been keen on this position of tormenting conscience.

With some difficulty, he stood up, staggered back a few steps, walked to the pointed arched porch, looked up at the compassionate gaze on the dome, and for the first time felt hopeless for the Sanctuary, so he endured his dizziness and asked weakly, "When is the Inquisition of the Eternal Order?"

"When the sun is facing the dome of the gods. Andrei replied.

When the midday sun casts on the center of the circle, the entire sanctuary reflects the sun's rays and becomes extremely dazzling, like a lit white bonfire, standing above the snowy field.

The judgment meeting was held on the spire of the Judgment Tower of the Sanctuary of God's Domain, surrounded by stained glass, and the sunlight refracted to form a brilliant golden yellow, standing on the spire as if it were hanging in the air, waiting for the judgment of the true God.

Andrei presided over the meeting, followed by Titian, the Holy Priest of Bellin, and Constantine, the Holy Priest of Silver Eagle City, followed by Him, and the Holy Priest John and Yuri, the leader of the Faceless Inquisition of Pariva City, were seated last.

"The eternal order exercises the judgment of Holy Osiris and reveals justice to the world. By the orders of the true gods, the rebellion of the city of Pariva is hereby adjudicated, the destruction of the day of worship by the "traitors", and the withdrawal of the Inquisition and the Priesthood of the city of Pariwa. Andrei's whole body merged with the golden sunlight, and his voice echoed on the spire like a bell.

The light of the Holy Priests was faint around the Divine Envoy, and the childlike voice of St. John rang out: "True God testifies, what I have seen is indeed the devil, and they float in the air in droves, destroying the guardian circle of Pariva, and I think it was the dark sorcerer who summoned them. ”

The god made Andre turn to the holy priest of Bailin City without emotion: "Serving the gods, Ti Xiang, Bailin City is three hundred and seventy-two grains away from Pariva City, do you think this is true?"

The Holy Priest Ti Xiang seemed to think for a while, and replied: "Venerable Divine Envoy, the Priest **** did feel the magic circle tremble, and there was a scarlet flame burning in Pariva City, but about the devil - I am not sure. ”

André asked the Holy Priest of Silver Eagle City again, "God Servant Konstantin, do you think this is true?"

Holy Priest Constantine quickly replied: "I do not think that the devil has invaded the Sunset Empire - our temple has not fallen, and our land is untouched. ”

Then, Andrei turned to Yuri, the leader of the faceless inquisition: "Yuri, Divine Whip, do you think this is true?"

Yuri's voice was like thunder, "Honorable oracle, I do see red orbs in the sky that release acid, spit fire, and explode violently, but I can't be sure if they are devils or evil creatures summoned by dark warlocks. ”

The voice of St. John the Priest became sharp with anger: "The power of the dark sorcerer is given by the devil!

Yuri retorted, "Is it? The Dark Warlock said that the Holy Priest had dedicated the hands of Pariva to the "Apostates" for the sake of his own health, so that the Inquisitors could clean up the mess. ”
