Chapter 155: The Dead
Roger flipped through the prophet's documents and read them twice, and was convinced that the prophet's order was indeed for him to go out to the funeral.
"Why would a prophet give such an order?", Roger asked with a sigh of anger in his heart, the prophet did not interfere in the affairs of the archbishop very much, and even fewer gave orders without even asking.
Roger said, "He doesn't know how many people will be killed in this way?Does the Prophet think that Nikolai and Vlad are both wooden men, and we can kill them all if we call the guards and bring water?"
He took a lot of effort to do a good job of defense, once he went out to recruit a group of guards, the current Candin vault is simply empty, once the fight is not guaranteed, not to mention, even the guards' armor, weapons are not equipped.
Moreover, the group of people in the Burial Sect themselves are active in the forbidden area of life, and there are not many of them, and the offensive force is limited, which is convenient for defense. But once the attack is carried out by one's own side, the form is completely different, just a large number of people entering that forbidden area is a terrible thing, let alone exterminating others, whether they can come back alive is a problem.
Grandet did not accuse him of his "great rebellion", but calmly said: "Your Excellency, the Prophet is the most outstanding soothsayer on the mainland, and her orders must have deep meaning, and as a devout believer of the Holy See, no one will disobey the orders of the Prophet, right?"
The soothsayer, Roger thought of the astrologer Shaman, and for a moment fell into deep thought.
Although there is corruption and darkness in the Holy See, there are indeed no incompetent people in high positions in the Holy See, as can be seen from the fact that Barclay, the insect master, and Weinstein, the blacksmith, are difficult to hold important positions. But he really couldn't figure out what else was behind this order.
"My lord, I have prepared all the materials for the funeral religion for you. Maybe it helps". He stood up and lifted the thick stack of papers on the shelf. The newspaper was held in front of Roger.
Roger glanced at it, frowned, took the top newspaper and looked at it, and was shocked
"The Knights Templar swept away the remnants of the burial religion in the western part of the continent, and important figures Nikolai and Vlad died", the big headline highlighted.
Roger was shocked and read down, and the more he looked down, the more frightened he became.
Ten years ago, the Funeral Cult emerged in the western part of the continent, a cult that believes that "life is short, death is eternal life." They worship their gods with living people, advocate timely pleasure, are dissatisfied with the current world, they want to build a new world, establish a new order, and their methods are mainly to carry out terror, and when appropriate, they will win hearts and minds with the posture of a messian.
The sect did not grow stronger, and upon hearing the news, the Knights Templar quickly dispatched to strangle them all, from the head of the Burial Cult to the ordinary members of the Order, all of whom died under the Order's guns.
"How could it be",
In the list of deaths below, Roger clearly sees the names of Nikola and Vlad. A seeping coolness suddenly rose in my heart.
Looking at the header, this is a newspaper from ten years ago. The time is February 3rd, winter
So Nikolai and Vlad died ten years ago? Who are the Nikolai and Vlad you see?
For a moment, he was stunned, confused, and fearful, and he remembered that in the swamp Nikolai appeared as a skeleton, without pain, immortal, and the wounds on his body could be healed by fire
For a moment, he felt cold in his hands and feet.
"My lord, they are indeed dead",
"It should be said that he died once, and Duras was the same, he was not so moody, on the contrary, he developed a cautious character because of his difficult career, and later a prisoner saw him understand his life and come back to life in the flames, and the personality of Duras after resurrection completely changed",
"No one knows why, but it's a fact that all three of them came back from the dead, my lord, do you know your enemies now?",
Roger's throat moved and he nodded, his cold hands and feet gradually recovering.
There must be some kind of connection between the resurrection of the dead, fire sacrifices, and fear of water.
"Duras did not go along with the Funeral Cult from the beginning, they were also enemies, many of these materials were searched by him back then, many things about the Burial Cult are unimaginable, it is certain that they are indeed from hell, immortal and immortal, without pain, ordinary means cannot destroy them",
"And the burial cult is not limited to Nikolai, Vlad and Duras, who joined later, there may be more terrible fellows than them", said Grande: "My lord, I can only wish you good luck",
He also felt a little emotion in his heart, he had always feared the prophet, but this time his command was incredible.
Roger was one of the few talents he had ever met, and he wasn't doing a bad job in his position as archbishop, so why be in such a hurry? Give him a little time and he will do better.
"Thank you",
Roger didn't know how he left this mansion, the information he came into contact with today brought him too much shock, when he finished reading the materials of the funeral religion, it was already afternoon, he began to make tools non-stop, convenient to carry water containers, tools that can use water as a weapon, to deal with the funeral religion is indispensable water.
And he doesn't plan to take the guards to exterminate the Funeral Cult, he will go to the forbidden area of life alone.
After becoming the archbishop, Roger is no longer a carefree Roger, many things are involuntary, the orders of the prophet cannot be taken back, and he cannot turn back.
Also can't go back is Lolita, after the succession ceremony, Roger wrote to Oris, calculate the time, today is the day when Lolita to Candin City, when the carriage from Colloga Island entered Candin City, Roger rubbed his forehead, tightened the tools he had made, put them neatly in the box, walked out of the door, and rode to the city gate.
In the carriage, Leo was looking around with the box, and Roger jumped off his horse and walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain.
"Master Roger",
Lolita looked at him a little shyly and lowered her head, pinching the corners of her skirt a little nervously, Roger had already explained to Olis and Jesse in the letter, and at the same time wrote a marriage proposal letter to herself, she knew that she was going to marry him this time in Candean City.
Seeing the red-faced Lolita Roger's tiredness swept away, he lowered his head and got into the carriage to lower the curtain and gently hold her in his arms.
"Master Roger",
Lolita was about to struggle but heard Roger say: "Let me hold for a while, Lolita, it's okay for a while, I miss you very much",
The whispered words were like whispering, like confiding, Lolita's heart suddenly melted, and she couldn't bear to push him away anymore. Leo drove slowly forward in the carriage, and she leaned quietly into his arms to feel his warmth. (To be continued......)
