Chapter 13: The Temple of Light
If the Bible could be modified, human curiosity would become the new original sin.
Andrew didn't answer Jerry's question in the end, but told him sternly that he didn't need to pay attention to anything other than improving his strength to become a real fighter.
In fact, Jerry also thought of this result, and if there was nothing hidden in it, Catherine would have given an explanation when she mentioned it. But Catherine didn't, which can only show that the matter itself is not ordinary, and maybe it really involves the secret of some temple.
The body of the attacker was quickly purified, and it was not Catherine who struck, but Andrew who used a peculiar potion.
Potions are made by apothecaries, and this profession is not one of the three major professions, but in some special places it can have an effect similar to or even better than magic, which is why they can be called the two side jobs together with the blacksmith.
Early the next morning, the team was back on the road.
And this time, every Templar, including Andrew, was watching the movement around them almost day and night, in case the attack happened again.
But perhaps the other party was not preparing for a second attack, or maybe he was intimidated by Andrew's defensive strength, and the next two days were uneventful, and the majestic mountain that Jerry had been longing for for many years finally appeared in front of him again.
Holy Mountain, Temple!
The Holy Maiden returned to the temple not the same way Jerry had buried Old Harry. In fact, even if you follow that road all the way, past the Holy Light Square and reach the end, you are still far from the Holy Mountain.
As he waited for the procession to arrive, Jerry stood there and looked east, in the direction of the village of Blue.
"I don't know what happened to the fat man, have they all been selected, or who has finally returned to the village of Blu to continue the life of their ancestors......"
Jerry's love is a bit complicated, he was at a loss when he first came to this world, and he cheered up again. He thought he wouldn't believe anyone, but he accepted a cheap daddy. He also thought that he would never be able to integrate into the village of Blue, but in the end, he got into a hot fight with a group of real children and became the recognized king of children......
Even he himself treats this qiē as a game, thinking that he is just playing. It's as if some women have met a handsome hooligan, since they can't resist, then enjoy it, and he also thinks that he is just enjoying a life that he can't resist.
But now he found out that this was not the case, not at all!
What a bastard, he can even lie to himself. He clearly really fit in, and really thought of himself as Jerry Harry of Blue Village. Those friends who were treated as a fake game by him, the fat man who was greedy for alcohol, the most ruthless sword king of Blue, and the tiger girl with broken eggs...... In fact, it has already become a part of his life.
And the long memories in his heart, he always had to remind himself that those were true, but in fact they were long gone. If he didn't know that they wouldn't come back, where would he need any reminders.
"Perhaps, the past should be let pass!"
Jerry narrowed his eyes and whispered, little Tony, who was standing nearby, thought he was talking to him, and subconsciously asked, "What?"
Jerry shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, let's go, the person who picked us up is here." ”
"That's to pick up Her Highness. ”
Tony said vividly, not noticing that the temple team had just come down from above, and even the temple warriors hadn't been able to notice it in advance, but Jerry was keenly aware of it.
The only person who noticed the arrival of the temple and reacted was Andrew the Defender. Of course, Catherine was still sitting in the carriage, and with her strength she was sure to notice.
Jerry didn't say anything more, and he wouldn't contradict little Tony, what difference did it make to him whether he picked up His Highness or picked him up.
"Temple, I'm coming!" Jerry shouted inwardly.
The temple procession in front of them had already divided into two columns, guarding each side of the road, and at the same time as Andrew returned to the team, the carriage in which the saint rode slowly moved forward.
When he was still in the village of Blue, Jerry looked at the sacred mountain countless times, wondering what was behind the layers of clouds and mist, and what the Temple of Light looked like.
Now he was about to know the answer, but it was one that he didn't expect, because they hadn't gone into the clouds at all.
As Jerry and the other reservists watched in shock, a door opened at the bottom of the clouds surrounding the holy mountain.
The clouds and mist rumbled and rolled up to the sides, and a bright but not dazzling light suddenly caught everyone's eyes, but what was hidden in that light was not the path of the mountain, but-
A city!
Jerry was dumbfounded, he thought he would have to climb the mountain and then go up to the top to reach the temple. But he never thought that behind the clouds and mist, there would be a city.
Is this the Temple of Light?
But that's not right, what about the mountain, where is the towering holy mountain? Unless......
With a thud, a strange thought crossed Jerry's mind, and he snapped back to it.
It's not that the holy mountain is gone, it's that the mountain is right in front of his eyes, but he doesn't recognize it, because the holy mountain is the temple, and the temple is the holy mountain—the two are one!
He remembered what he had read in an old book, which said that there was a barrier laid by the gods outside the sacred mountain, protecting the holy place and the temple for eternity.
Thinking of this account, and thinking about the wonder of the cloud turning into a gate just now, Jerry couldn't understand that the holy mountain he saw outside was simply transformed by the enchantment.
Jerry turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, there was no cloud behind him at all, and it was clear that the sky was clear. He could even make out some distant hills, and the village of Blue was at the foot of the mountain.
"Holy Mountain...... Is it fake?"
As soon as the words came out, Jerry knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, several nearby temple personnel in white robes glared at him fiercely. In fact, just glaring at him is already light, if he shouted this sentence outside, maybe he would really be burned to death as a heretic.
However, within this "holy mountain", these people must have encountered many similar things, and it is even possible that they themselves were equally unscrupulous when they first entered, so they only warned him with their eyes not to talk nonsense.
"Hmph, I don't know, of course the holy mountain is real, and you won't be able to figure out the mystery in it for the rest of your life. ”
Someone walked past Jerry, and although his voice was lowered, the tone was still very unpleasant.
Jerry didn't have to look to know who was so hard to get along with him, except for Adam, who was lovesick but had no love life, there was really no one else.
The shape is stronger than people, who makes the family a fourth-level warrior, but he doesn't have any strength, Jerry frowned and decided to endure it.
But in his heart, he was cursing this Adam for never wanting to touch his Eve......
But something happened that made him cry and laugh, Adam, who had already walked in front of him, suddenly threw something at him, fortunately Jerry's eyes were good, otherwise he would have thought that the situation was that the guy was firing a secret weapon at himself.
In fact, Adam threw him a book, and at the same time snorted coldly and said, "Everything you should know is written in it, remember it so as not to lose our face." As for the things that are not written in it, you don't need to ask, you don't have that qualification yet. ”
The corners of Jerry's mouth twitched as he watched Adam stride away.
What does this guy mean, is this good intentions or bad intentions? After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, Jerry decided that he didn't want to, how could a normal person deal with a sick person.
But this book was really what he needed, and the rules in the temple were strict, and if he accidentally committed any major taboos, it would be quite a trouble.
Soon someone came to lead Jerry and them to the reserve residence, and sure enough, as they had guessed, this residence was located at the very edge of the Holy City, and it was naturally the worst place.
But everyone, including Jerry, was excited, especially the poor trio of Tony, Daniel, and Carlos, and even the worst was already "luxurious" for them that they had never seen before.
Starting tomorrow, they will receive the most basic training in this place, until they pass the Guò first-class warrior assessment within a year before they can officially become members of the reserve of the Paladin Legion under Catherine. If one of them fails to pass the guò test after a year, this person will be sent out of the sacred mountain with his memory erased, and his life will be completely ruined.
It's cruel, but no one can say a word. After all, they had already agreed to such conditions when they agreed to join, and there were indeed too many things in this Holy City Temple that ordinary people could not know.
There was still a night to go before the start of training, and Jerry had been reading the book that the lovesick had thrown at him before going to bed, which really helped him solve a lot of old doubts.
For example, the clouds and mist on this holy mountain are not just the camouflage of the enchantment, but the real existence, because the holy mountain itself is also real.
This involves a level of divine power that mortals cannot understand, magically superimposing two unrelated places, but people can only see and touch one of them under ordinary circumstances, which is the holy mountain in the eyes of ordinary people.
Only when the person in control of the enchantment opens the enchantment, can the people outside see in the designated direction and time that there is another place where zài, which is the holy city they are in now.
Looking at the introduction inside, Jerry was almost dizzy. But with his experience that is different from ordinary people, he can also understand a little bit.
I'm afraid that it is not the Holy Mountain and the Holy City that are superimposed together, but the space in which the two places are located is forcibly distorted and connected. This kind of thing is difficult for people in this world to understand, but there is already a relatively mature theory in his distant experience.
While secretly reveling in his knowledge, Jerry suddenly felt a heat in his chest, which made him almost jump up. He finally remembered that he had forgotten an extremely important matter......
