Chapter 139: Secret Talk
Just when Qin Zhao took advantage of the particularity of this world to slowly explore how to rely on his own strength to use his luck.
In the temple of the main city, there is also an undercurrent.
An intimate conversation is taking place in the middle of nowhere.
"Mingshu, I've worked hard for you lately." The High Priest said softly.
I have to say that with such a holy and noble face, it is indeed very touching to say this.
At least the witch Mingshu's expression looked very touched at this time.
"This is what Mingshu should do, Your Majesty."
In the past few days, although there has been some tension in the temple, Ming Shu's mentality has quietly relaxed a lot.
Different from the previous confrontation between the two, now the return of the holy woman has greatly relieved her pressure.
The High Priest nodded lightly and continued, "After the next beast tide, you will take over the mission of the High Priest." ”
is a very ordinary sentence, but it sounded like thunder in Ming Shu's ears.
My heart trembled, and my complexion was a little difficult to maintain.
Hurriedly said: "Ming Shu doesn't dare." ”
Most of the high priests were chosen from among shrine maidens or holy women.
There are two conditions for selection, one part is based on public opinion, and the other part is in the hands of the high priest.
This high priest, who reigned for more than 20 years, has always been strict against power.
Suddenly saying these words today, how could he not surprise and even panic Ming Shu.
Whether it is background or strength, the two are too far apart.
Otherwise, there would be no panic because of the departure of the saint.
"There's nothing you dare." The high priest looked indifferent, and did not take her behavior to heart.
"The saint is inferior to you in terms of popularity and strength, and her temperament is not mature. I've made some progress lately, but I'm not fit to be a high priest. Come to think of it, or you are more suitable. ”
Listening to what she said seriously, Ming Shu was also a little confused for a while, not knowing if she was tempting.
I had to whisper: "What about you?" ”
This is the most incomprehensible place for Mingshu.
Now the high priest is not very old.
Although he didn't know her true age, she had been a high priestess since she became a shrine maiden.
But I think I'm only in my thirties, why did I suddenly say that I want to take over this position at this time?
"You don't have to worry about me, just get ready." At this, the high priest paused.
After a while, he continued to add: "By the way, don't have any contact with that Zhao Qin recently." ”
"Yes." Ming Shu lowered his head slightly when he heard this, thinking that this was a warning to himself, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, in the past few days, he has more or less revealed some things to Qin Zhao.
He even wanted to exert some influence on the high priest through Qin Zhao to ensure his own safety.
Her subtle attitude towards Qin Zhao, Ming Shu has always seen it in her eyes.
"If the High Priest is sincere, then there is no need to do anything superfluous, otherwise it is likely to anger her. It's just that what is this adult's plan in his heart? She thought silently to herself.
"You go first." The High Priest didn't seem to care about her thoughts.
After saying this, he waved his hand directly and motioned for her to retreat.
Ming Shu heard the words and bowed and left alone.
The High Priest was left alone, standing where he was.
Her dignified and holy face was covered by the shadow of the temple, and she couldn't see clearly.
After a long time, he chuckled and said to himself, "Oh, what is the high priest?" ”
With that, he turned and returned to his room.
The room was very plain, even rudimentary, with nothing but a bed and a wooden table.
does not correspond to her status in the temple.
If there's anything special about this room, it's the statue.
The statue was no different from the giant statue in the outer temple.
However, anyone who has seen it will never think that the two statues are dedicated to the same god.
The statue of the god in the high priest's house looked almost like a living creature, or rather, like a real god standing here.
If ordinary people look directly at this statue, they are afraid that they will immediately feel ashamed of their appearance, and even kneel on the ground and worship on the spot.
At this time, the eyes of the high priest were also falling on this statue.
However, there was no awe in her eyes, but instead showed an extreme greed and desire.
With that face, it looks full of disobedience.
"It's coming, it's coming. After several lifetimes of research and nearly a hundred years of collection, we have finally come to this point. And—"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the light from them.
"That outsider is really a gift from God, I can actually contain the power of faith in my body......"
From the first time she saw Qin Zhao, she realized that something was wrong.
She studied the power of faith for countless years before she came up with a way to store it and collect it secretly.
And you have to use the idol of the god, but it is difficult for your body to absorb it.
But Qin Zhao is different, the strong "power of faith" on her body, she looks a little greedy.
Although the "power of faith" seems to be slightly different from what he knows, it is probably only the result of different beliefs—the high priest could not tell that "luck" and "power of faith" are different.
At the same time, she also knew that the Fengyang Continent was not the only world.
Therefore, the high priest, who was already skeptical, almost immediately confirmed his identity after a conversation with Qin Zhao and the excuse of his "amnesia".
"It doesn't matter if you really have amnesia or fake amnesia, what world you come from, and how prominent your former identity is. Here, it's just a lonely person. She said to herself.
"When I finish accumulating this last part of my faith, I can start with you and find a way to contain your luck with a mortal body."
There is one piece of information, but Qin Zhao guessed wrong.
The great condensation of faith that he perceived was indeed stolen by the high priest.
In this world, there is no so-called "rat god" at all.
Or rather, it was once real, but then it has left this world.
The occasional manifestation is just a special means for the temple to harness the power of faith.
This secret was known only to successive high priests.
"No matter how high the high priest is, he is only a mere mortal after all. My goal is to become a god. ”
The reason why Minshu was promised to take over the position of high priest was only to stabilize the situation at this critical juncture.
When she attains the divine throne, what difference will there be between the high priest and the common people?
Then, she thought of something again, shook her head and chuckled.
"Ye Yu, this little girl, is really not worry-free, I let you go at the beginning, and I have to come back to disturb me."
"Night Feather" is the name of the former saint.
At this time, the high priest obviously did not take her to heart.
