Chapter 102: The Imperial Capital (I)
The statue of the "God of Knowledge and Teaching" is made of marble, and under the careful polishing of the craftsmen, the appearance of the stone statue is very delicate, and the expression is extremely agile, as if it really has a life of its own. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A high-backed chair was temporarily placed on the right side of the hall, and Simpson, dressed in red, sat upright, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Sensing the arrival, the archbishop slowly opened his eyes.
Unlike in the past, at this time, there were no whites of Simpson's eyes, and they were all replaced by a piece of gold, and in this gold, the light purple runes that were bright and extinguished also replaced the original position of the pupils.
All this anomalies showed Freric that the cardinal in front of him was no longer the one he was familiar with.
Feeling the coercion coming from the other party, Frelik could not understand what he was facing, he hurriedly saluted, and greeted him respectfully: "May your wisdom guide us out of ignorance, Your Majesty." β
It is no wonder that the mage is so humble, knowing that it is no longer the priest of the same rank who sits in front of him, but the "god of knowledge and teaching" descended from the gods.
It is precisely because of this status that the "Simpson" is qualified to sit in the main hall where the statues of the gods are placed.
"What's the catch?" the bishop asked, his voice solemn and ethereal, as if coming from above.
"This ......," Freric recalled the information he had received, carefully organizing the words, "Olivia has no scars on his body, it looks like he is asleep, but through the 'exploratory technique' of the inside of his body, I found that all the organs in his body are damaged to varying degrees, and there is also blood deposited in the cranial cavity. β
"What's your conclusion?"
Hearing the mage's description, "Simpson" was thoughtful, but he did not rush to his own conclusions, but wanted to hear the other party's opinion first. Of course, there is no lack of meaning in this school.
"It should have met a strong person of the same level, and then fell because the strength was not as good as the other party. β
"How's the data collected on site?"
"The Simpson" was noncommittal about Freelik's speculation, and he glanced back at his idol with a disappointment and bitterness in his eyes.
The foundation of the Temple of Knowledge is still too shallow, which is inseparable from the short age of his godhood.
Like the exquisite statue behind him, it was delicate and vivid enough compared to the statues of other temples, but it lacked the heaviness that had been precipitated over the course of time.
In order to improve his divine power as soon as possible, Leno chose to support some commoners to fight against the nobles, although this decision quickly promoted him to the middle divine power, but also made enemies with other gods of order and the actual nobles of various territories.
It is precisely because of this past that the Temple of Knowledge has always been unpopular, although there are a large number of civilian mages in the temple, but due to the limitations of vision and experience, there are very few talents that can be created.
What made him feel even more headache was that although these civilian mages were not very strong in spells, they were self-taught about the arrogance of mages.
Maybe it's the inferiority complex in their hearts, or maybe they just want to gain a sense of psychological superiority, in short, these mages are full of contempt for knights.
In addition, the canons of the Temple of Knowledge are indeed difficult to resonate with the knights, so that until now, the Temple of Knowledge has not yet had its own knights.
Moreover, because of the difference in thinking and cognition between the priest and the mage, the sacrifice in the temple only accounts for a very small proportion, not to mention the demigod rank of the pope, and even the legendary rank of the cardinal archbishop is only Simpson.
There are quite a few legendary mages, but the nature of their profession of "questioning authority" means that the "recognition" they can provide to the gods is far inferior to that of the same number of sacrifices.
Countless mages gathered in the Temple of Knowledge, exchanging their insights and insights with each other, making the Temple of Knowledge look more like a research institution than a religious temple.
Of course, Leno knew the downsides, but he had no choice.
It was precisely because of his helplessness that he took the initiative to participate in this game, hoping to master the new divine position by advancing to a powerful divine power, so as to get rid of the current embarrassing situation.
Of course, Frelik couldn't guess about the mental activities of the gods, but the disappointment hidden in the eyes of the other party could still be felt by Mr. Mage.
Under such a gaze, he couldn't help but lower his tone: "It's all in the 'Lingering Crystal'." β
"In that case, let's release it and see!"
"Simpson" said in a flat tone, he already had some clue about the real cause of Olivia's death, and waited to watch the video from the scene to confirm his guess.
"Worthy of the Lord of the Morning Sun, this rich heritage makes me jealous!"
Looking at the scene taken by "Lingering Crystal", the tone of "Simpson" was quite emotional.
Although he was already a god with medium divine power, because of the short time he had become a god and the deformed development of the temple, there was basically no decent collection in the entire temple of knowledge.
Not to mention the high-level enchantments used by the Dawn Temple, they are relatively ordinary enchantments, and there are not many knowledge temples.
These commoner-born mages have both the arrogance of mages and the greed of commoners. It was impossible to expect them to be able to refine artifacts for the temple, and if they didn't put them in their pockets, they would already give him face.
Of course, if Leno made a refining, the high-level enchantment would of course be nothing. But he doesn't do that, the gods are not sacrificial slaves, they build temples because it allows them to spread their faith faster, and thus make them more efficient at parsing rules, not to find themselves a new "job".
Therefore, the development of the temple in the main plane is basically free-range, and the accumulation of all the essence depends on the help of time and their own efforts.
"It turned out that it was the Temple of Dawn, no wonder Olivia would fall. β
If this news came out of someone else's mouth, Freric might still be suspicious, but if it came from the mouth of a god, then he could only treat it as a fact.
All the questioning words were suppressed in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.
"Their target is not Olivia, it should be George XIII. It seems that they know about your cooperation with the royal family. β
"Forgive me for being foolish, this judgment ......."
"Injuries," although he was disappointed with these mages, he didn't mind cultivating them if he had the chance, "Olivia's injuries are not from the enemy's attacks, but from the backlash of the law. β
When it comes to the level of comprehension of the law, legends and gods are certainly not comparable. Therefore, even though he was just watching the images taken by the "Lingering Crystal", he still saw the source of the other party's injuries at a glance.
"He didn't fight the enemy, and he was forced to disturb the law by the backlash, just to force the other party to show up. In other words, he wants the other party to target him. β
"The only person who could protect him at the risk of his soul annihilation was his monarch, George XIII. β
"Since he didn't fight the enemy, then ......"
"Although he did not fight, he did die at the hands of the enemy. He didn't even have a chance to make a move, so he died at the hands of the other party. β
"Heyββ, is his enemy...... Demigods?"
"It's just that I temporarily have the strength of the demigod rank with the help of foreign objects, what's so surprising!"
Even so, Leno's heart was still very bitter.
The "Lord of the Dawn" is worthy of being a veteran god who has become a god before the Age of Chaos, and his wealth is far beyond that of a new god.
The other party only needs to give the refined "Divine Tool" to increase the strength of the Dawn Temple by a large margin, but he has to choose to use the "Divine Descent" method to improve the strength of his own Temple.
"If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people dealing with you this time, I wouldn't have intervened in anything. β
With this in mind, "Simpson" waved his hand and motioned for Freric, who was still in a sluggish state, to step back.
The door to the temple was slowly shut, and the god closed his eyes again.
He didn't plan to interfere too much with the operation of the temple, so as not to expose the fact that he had descended from the gods, and now was not the best time to do it, he was waiting, waiting for those "companions" in the open and in the dark to be in place......
