Chapter 14: Before the Temple
The day finally came, and Lord Dunbar and his subordinates, sitting on blue-haired griffins, flew directly into Tianen City, the capital of the Amellot Empire, without any hindrance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After more than 430 years of ups and downs, except for the temple, the rest of the ancient city has been ravaged by the enemy's iron cavalry, and even the imperial palace has been ransacked by the officers and soldiers of the Xiangri Empire, looking desolate.
Dunbar overlooked the ground, this is the imperial capital established by Fergus's ancestors, once, the Rodney family and the Fergus family were bloodied side by side, how many times under the pursuit of the Star Church, there was nowhere to hide, on the verge of despair, they all survived, until the power of St. Ossidine suddenly weakened, and the rebels everywhere responded one after another, so that today's empire existed.
Unfortunately, the two families declined one after another, and the new church they personally supported, the Church of the Goddess of Wisdom, drove the Fergus family out of the City of Heavenly Grace and kept the Rodney family in captivity like puppets. By the time they realized the ambition of the church, it was too late to contend with it, so they had to endure it for the time being. The difference is that the Rodneys have been silent in their patience, while the Fergus family has finally made a comeback.
Dunbar had been planning for this day for at least forty years! On February 7, 438 A.D., a mortal decided to challenge the gods.
Pope Haino stood at the gate of the temple of Khoringuppen, and behind him were the few remaining powerhouses, Cardinal Halifax, the eighth-level archmage, the eighth-level archmage, the high priest Freeman, and the chief of the judges, Cumberland, the son of God, who was just two months old and was already a sixth-level warrior, and the deputy head of the temple guard regiment, the seventh-level great swordsman, Habakak, of course, this thing is purely here to make up the numbers.
Dunbar and the others landed and calmly walked in front of Haino, the two teams kept a distance of ten meters, but neither of them activated any skills.
"Long time no see, Mr. Dunbar, I have forgotten if we drank together when we were young?" said Hainault, his beard white and his kind face, as if he were comforting an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.
"At the Goblet Tavern, you can get me drunk. "Dunbar remembers it very well.
"It's been more than sixty years, we're friends at all, what's the matter that can't be discussed, and must be solved with magic and vindictiveness?" the Pope suggested.
"I just saw that the Goblet Tavern is in ruins, and you failed to take care of it, Your Majesty. Dunbar replied as he asked.
"Yes, that's my guilt, but when I prayed to God for forgiveness, a miracle came and she forgave me. "So I'm sure she'll forgive you." ”
"Miracles, miracles, hehe, do you think this time, it will happen again?"
"I don't know, I'm just always loyal. ”
"Loyalty, you stand in front of the descendants of the Fergus family, talking about loyalty?" Dunbar said, "Faith is just an obsession. ”
Heino was silent for a long time and asked, "Mr. Dunbar, if you speak frankly, what do you want?"
"I hope that the portraits and sculptures in the temple are me. Dunbar replied quickly.
"You are presumptuous!" Cumberland, the son of God, was furious, he had long hated Dunbar, but he was no match at all.
"Shut up, child, I know that you are the son of God, but after all, you have only lived for two months, and if you want to turn over the calendar of the third month, from now on do not speak again. Dunbar bluntly threatened.
Heino turned his head to look at it, signaling Cumberland to exercise restraint before continuing slowly: "Mr. Dunbar, make a negotiable condition, otherwise, you still have to step over my corpse before you can realize your ideals." ”
"My Majesty, I have reached the Sanctuary, what else in this world can tempt me?" sighed Dunbar, "when I see that equality of oneself is such an empty slogan, what can I pursue, but to take a step towards the threshold of God, to get a glimpse of the mysteries. ”
"You can also pursue eternal life, go to the heavenly realm and get a chance at eternal life. The Pope nodded.
"At what cost, humble and involuntary? Remain like this indefinitely? Haineau, you carry the crown, but you will always be a servant. ”
"You are sinful to think so, God wants nothing but our faith, and He will give us everything. The Pope shook his head.
"I want to know why God needs our faith, what He wants, and if you tell me that God doesn't need anything, Your Majesty, our conversation can be over. Dunbar said, "Next, either the divine punishment comes, and I experience the power of judgment, or you fall, but I promise, for the sake of my old friend, that I will not let you die so embarrassingly." I just want to prove that death is the right destination. ”
"God needs to be revered, Mr. Dunbar, don't you think that the actions of the first six temples are detrimental to your character?"
"No, because what I do in every temple is what you have done to the infidels, and to put it bluntly, others just don't believe in your beloved gods, but they die a miserable death, and you and all your followers are not qualified to discuss character issues with me. ”
"How can I leave with dignity?" said Heino no more, he calmly spread his hands and asked Dunbar calmly, because there was no one who could deal with the master of the Sanctuary.
"A sword pierces the heart, this is the noblest way to die. ”
"Very well, let's get started. "Two months ago, I was almost on the verge of experiencing death, which was only a finger's finger away. ”
Dunbar took out an ordinary fine iron sword, this kind of long sword, which can be seen everywhere in the battle of the Lukai Continent, pressed against Haino's chest: "You don't pray for something?"
"Oh God had sensed it. The Pope closed his eyes.
Dunbar was about to stab when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the Son of God preparing to escape, and his fighting spirit exploded, speeding through the crowd, intending to follow the Starlight Path and hide in the city first.
As soon as Dunbar stretched out his hand, a ball of imprisonment covered Cumberland, and he suddenly did not want to kill Heino first, but turned to the motionless youth, and in two months, the son of God grew to the appearance of twenty years old.
Have you heard that God needs to be worshipped? So the last thing you should hold back is you. Dunbar raised his sword levelly, "In a sense, you represent God, and at least you should understand that dignity is higher than life." If the Pope is like you, who will believe in you? I think that's the most valuable lesson you heard before you die. ”
Cumberland was in the confinement ball, his lips twitching up and down, trying to say something, but no one could hear him.
The fine iron sword stabbed at a rapid speed.
