Chapter 339: Holy City
As the convoy approached, the gates of the Holy City were also in sight.
Jiang Ge saw a group of people lined up there, and an old priest dressed in white stood in front of the city gate, shouting, "Welcome the saints back to the holy city!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the entire city gate resounded with the heart-rending and fanatical shouts of the people.
"Welcome the saints back to the Holy City!"
Jiang Ge stepped out of the car, staring at everyone condescendingly, and beckoned to the old teacher.
The old priest in white hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"These were arranged by His Majesty the Pope?" Jiang Ge asked.
The old priest hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, yes. ”
"His Majesty the Pope, and the kings of the Holy Federation, are waiting for you in the Holy City Temple."
Jiang Ge nodded, the so-called Holy Federation is the gathering of those alien kingdoms that remained after the Second Mountain and Sea were destroyed by the Empire, centered on the Glorious Church.
The purpose is to fight against the empire, recover the second mountains and seas, and restore the glory of the glorious people.
Yin Sabeth's father was one of these kings.
After being greeted by the old priest in white, Jiang Ge's carriage drove straight into the holy city and headed straight for the temple.
And in the process of entering, Jiang Ge also felt an unusual atmosphere from the earth under his feet.
On the land of this holy city, there is definitely an oversized ritual arranged underneath.
If you urge them all, you will definitely be able to exert a power comparable to that of an immortal god.
And judging from the resonance of the distorted sun mark on the back of his hand, the hole card that the Church of Radiance can give to awaken the Lord of Radiance should be this ritual.
Along the way, Jiang Ge sensed his feet and casually looked at the scene of this holy city from the corner of his eye.
Unlike the alien cities he had seen on his way, even the grandest and cleanest of them were far inferior to the holy city in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, there is a delicate building made of white stones.
The pedestrians were all dressed in at least elaborate costumes, and there were no ragged people to be seen here, and all of them had a smile mixed with a hint of sincerity.
"Holy Maiden, you said before that the Holy City is the most desirable place for all the glorious people, but it is true." Jiang Ge said casually.
Even in the mouths of some aliens, the land of this holy city is paved with gold.
Although it is exaggerated, the street paved with white marble in front of you, as well as the street lamps with metal brackets on the side of the road, is indeed luxurious.
"That's nature, Lord Saint," said Yin Sabeth with a smile, "After the establishment of the Holy Federation, the kings of all countries have moved here, and it is not surprising that the people of Radiance are worshipping this holy city with half of the resources of the second mountain and sea. ”
"How much prosperity you have seen in front of you, and how much ruin you must have seen before."
"Take the street lights on the side of the road, you can't see it during the day, but when the street lights come on at night, you will find that every street lamp here is powered by bright crystals......
"With these street lamps alone, the Holy City will consume at least 100,000 Radiance Crystals every year, and for every 1,000 Radiance Crystals mined, at least six or more miners will be consumed......
"All prosperity has always come at a price," Yin Shabai said with a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about the blood hidden under this prosperity.
"Tsk, this tone, aren't you the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect? How can you learn how to speak from the group of people in Taiping Dao," Jiang Ge sighed twice and asked casually.
"Lord Saint, our White Lotus Sect and the Taiping Dao have always been in the same spirit, and although there are differences in their philosophies, the purpose of allowing the people of this world to live and work in peace and contentment has always been the same," Yin Shabai said with a smile.
"You say you have the world in mind, but why can't I hear the slightest pity from your mouth?" Jiang Ge asked with interest.
"I've heard people say that if someone says they claim to have the world in their hearts, but they don't care about the tragic situation around them, it is an out-and-out hypocrisy."
"Why mercy? And what is hypocrisy? Yin Shabai shook her head and smiled, "Knowing the sorrow of people in this world, I feel pity, and our pity has always been ourselves, and we share others, but it is empathy, so how can it be good?" Where is hypocrisy? ”
"May all the people of the world have their place, what do they have to do with others?"
Jiang Ge nodded, agreeing with Yin Shabai's statement.
A luxurious carriage pulled by two heterogeneous white horses gallops through the streets of the Holy City.
Bishop Richard himself acted as a coachman, leading the way ahead.
It has been a long journey, spanning most of the Holy City.
About half an hour later, a huge temple emitting a white glow appeared in front of Jiang Ge's eyes.
A large number of glorious crystals exude brilliant brilliance, making the temple in front of you look like a fairy palace in a myth.
The distorted sun mark on the back of Jiang Ge's hand trembled slightly, telling him that the place where the temple stood in front of him was unusual.
"My guess was correct...... This place, or perhaps under this temple, is absolutely connected to the place where the sun sets. ”
"Even the existence of this temple is to suppress the wreckage of the sun, to prevent its powerful power from leaking out, interfering in the present world, and causing unpredictable consequences."
"Of course, there are other functions such as being the core, but these are all details."
Such a thought flashed through Jiang Ge's heart.
And the carriage also stopped at the temple and under the towering steps.
"Your Excellency, the Pope is unable to come and greet you in person because of his inconvenient legs, so please come with me, His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you."
Richard respectfully greeted Jiang Ge and led Jiang Ge and Yin Sabeth up the stairs.
"Leg problems?"
"It's because of some problems, you know when you see it," Richard said, with some confusion.
The steps in front of the temple are generally used to show the majesty of the gods and to give pilgrims both physical and mental oppression, and they exist as a kind of audience.
To put it simply, it is to get off the horse.
A thousand steps is naturally nothing to Jiang Ge.
However, his current identity is the oracle of the Radiant Lord, and with the fact that the Radiant Lord is not very fond of the Radiant Church, it can be said that even the Pope does not have the dignity he came.
】
It's not appropriate to ask him to climb the stairs, but at least you have to come down to meet me, and it is reasonable for everyone to climb together.
That's why Richard wants to explain more.
However, what made Jiang curious was that it didn't matter if the Pope's legs and feet were inconvenient and he couldn't get down.
From Richard's mouth, he knew that several kings of the Holy Federation were also on it.
These birdmen even dared to put on a score and let him go up to meet him?
