The crowd followed the prestige, but it was the old couple who had come all the way with their son, and it was the old woman who wept and begged the priest in the golden robe.

The golden-robed priest stopped, turned and walked towards the family of three.

"What's wrong with your son?"

The golden-robed priest looked at the young man carefully for a while, but did not see anything wrong, and asked.

Alan, Yasuo, and Lux also looked at the boy, looking very thin, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

"My child's life, Lord Priest," cried the old woman, "and every day at midnight this child will be covered with black gas, and every time he will cry and cry in pain. ”

"We went to a lot of doctors, and they couldn't find out what the cause was, so that's why we came to you, Priest. Don't you have the power of the great sun god, and the high priest is not the messenger of the sun god, you can definitely save this child, right?"

The old couple looked at the golden-robed priest with hopeful eyes, and the young man was also full of anticipation, he had been tormented by this strange disease for more than ten years, and sometimes he really wanted to die to get rid of this endless suffering.

"I'll take another look. ”

The golden-robed priest said, and a golden light was released from his hand, and the golden light submerged into the young man's body.

After a while, the golden-robed priest frowned, he didn't notice anything unusual in the young man's body.

"Come with me, and I will take you to the High Priest, who will surely find out what is the cause of this child's illness. ”

The golden-robed priest said firmly, as if there was nothing in his opinion that the high priest could not solve.

Afterwards, the golden-robed priest left the tavern with the young man's family of three.

"This priest has a very good heart, not like a bad person, is this sun god cult really just a simple belief in the sun god and leads people to goodness?"

Alan commented that he had thought that Joshua was a demagogue, but since he entered the town of Arutonga, he had not found anything wrong with the Helios Cult.

However, Alan always felt that this Sun God Cult was not so simple.

After eating, Alan took Yasuo and Lux to wander around the town, and aside from the strong religious atmosphere, this town was no different from ordinary towns.

As he wandered around, Alan noticed the number of Knights Aphar in the town, which numbered in the dozens, and that was probably not all of them. If these Guardian Knights are all warriors of Rank 3 or above, then the strength of this Arutonga Town is really not weak.

Much stronger than the Huaxia Collar before the expansion!

In the middle of the town of Aruthonga, there is a splendid temple. This temple was completed by the town of Arutunga with the strength of the whole town and more than ten years, and Joshua's energy and savings for decades were basically smashed on this temple.

In a palace deep within the temple, a straight body stood erect in the center of the palace.

Dressed in a dark gold robe, he looked to be in his thirties, with a handsome face and a solemn air between his eyebrows.

This man was none other than Joshua, lord of the town of Arutonga and high priest of the Sun God Cult.

Joshua is rumored to be in his fifties, but he looks like he is in his early thirties, and his ageless face is one of the evidences that the believers in the town of Arutonga believe that he is the messenger of the sun god.

After all, who else can maintain an ageless face except those who are favored by the gods?

In the impression of the old people of Arutonga Town, the High Priest was like this when he first arrived in Arutonga Town, and after thirty years, his appearance has only become a little more mature.

There was a column in front of Joshua, the only thing that existed in the palace, and the rest of the palace was empty.

Above the cylinder, a transparent crystal ball was suspended in the air, the crystal ball was hollow, and it was filled with a pale golden liquid.

The pale golden liquid probably occupies eighty percent of the space in the crystal ball, constantly circulating in the crystal ball, emitting a trace of golden gas. If you look closely, the golden liquid looks a little illusory, as if it is not a real liquid.

Joshua's eyes stared at the golden liquid in the crystal ball, and his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance from time to time.

With a creak, the palace door was pushed open, and the golden-robed priest who had appeared in the tavern before stepped into the main hall.

"High Priestess!"

The golden-robed priest bent down and bowed respectfully to Joshua.

There are a total of six golden-robed priests in Arutonga, all of whom were trained by Joshua, and these six golden-robed priests all worship Joshua madly, and Joshua's status in their minds is no different from that of a god.

"You're here, what's the matter?"

Joshua asked without looking back, turning his back to the golden-robed priest.

The golden-robed priest told Joshua what had happened in the tavern and focused on the boy's strange illness.

"Interesting," Joshua smiled lightly, "and when tonight's sacrifice is over, I'll see for myself." ”

"Also, I found some suspicious people in the tavern. The golden-robed priest continued.

The suspicious person in his mouth turned out to be the combination of the three warriors and a mage and the three of Alan. At this time, Allen, who was wandering around the town, did not know that he had been labeled as suspicious.

When Joshua heard this, he frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Inform me to strengthen the vigilance for tonight's sacrificial activities, and send someone to keep an eye on these people." ”

"Yes, High Priest. ”

The golden-robed priest bowed respectfully to Joshua, then turned and withdrew.

"Did those people come to the door? Their noses are so pointy! I've been deliberately controlling the spread of news here, and I didn't expect them to find out. ”

After the golden-robed priest left, Joshua muttered to himself.

In fact, over the years, Joshua has been deliberately controlling the town of Arrutonga and the Sun God Cult, and the news has not spread widely to the outside world, so the only people who know about Arutonga Town are some villages and towns around Arutonga Town.

Otherwise, with Joshua's ability, the name of the town of Arutunga and the Helios Cult would have spread to the point that everyone in the entire Nice City area would have known.

The reason why Joshua is so low-key is that he is afraid that these people will find out and come to the door.

"But who is the other group?"

Joshua wondered, is there anyone else who is eyeing him besides those people?

In the evening, the three of them arrived outside the temple in the center of the town. At this time, the square outside the temple was already full of people, and it was in this square that tonight's sacrifice was held.

What puzzled Alan was that since it was a sacrifice to the sun god, why didn't the time be chosen in the daytime when the sun was shining, but at night when the sun could not be seen.

"This temple is quite spectacularly built. ”

Alan looked at the temple in front of him and sighed.

"I don't know how much gold it cost to build this temple in Arutonga, but if I give it to me, it's enough for me to buy a lot of soldiers. ”

It's a pity that Eren is not a member of the Sun God Cult and is not qualified to enter the temple, otherwise Eren really wants to enter the temple to see and understand.

In the evening, the rituals of the Cult of the Sun God begin on time.

A sacrificial altar had already been set up in the square, and under the altar stood a circle of triage knights, Alan counted them, there were probably more than a hundred, which should be all the strength of Arutonga Town.

Alan found that the sun emblems on the chests of these cathar knights were not identical, some were more delicate and a little more concise. I'm afraid that the signs are different, and there is also a gap in strength.

"The festival begins, please don't make a noise!"

A knight cathar standing under the altar shouted with a fighting spirit.

The crowd, which was noisy just now, instantly quieted down.

The door to the temple opened, and Joshua, dressed in dark gold robes, walked out of the temple with the crystal ball containing the golden liquid in his hand.

Joshua was followed by six priests dressed in pale golden robes, each holding some sacrificial utensils in their hands.

Joshua held the crystal orb in his hand, climbed straight to the altar, and stood in the center of the altar.

Under the altar, the followers of the Sun God Cult looked at the High Priest and the crystal ball in the High Priest's hand, their eyes full of fanaticism.

That crystal ball, according to the High Priest, was an artifact given by the great Sun God, capable of conveying their faith to the Great Sun God.

In the crowd, the three warriors and magicians saw Joshua's eyes light up when they saw Joshua appear with the crystal orb.

"It's the Faith Crystal, it looks like we're not in the wrong place, this person is indeed a member of the 'Shadow Eagle'. ”

The mage's hoarse voice rang out in the cloak.

"Go ahead, take the Faith Crystal, and kill Joshua. The scum who willingly degenerate and join the 'Shadow Eagle' must die!"
