Volume 2 Why the Sun Shines Prologue to the Stars; Make the walls tremble
As if it had nothing to do with the wails and cries for help that pervaded the royal city, the archpriest walked gently into the council chamber with a chessboard under his arm, and only the grand nun closed her eyes and whispered prayers, she seemed so peaceful.
"Are you free?"
The archpriest smiled sadly, and he wanted to play a game of chess with the Grand Nun.
Hughes opened his eyes, "Of course, kid, but you haven't won a set in all these years, and why?" ”
She slowly sat down in front of the archpriest and motioned for him to set up the pieces.
The archpriest carefully placed each chess piece in the correct position, and said lightly: "Heh, the more you play, the more you think that the great nun is the one who understands." ”
The two took their seats, with Hughes playing first, making a very ordinary-looking first move.
Between the chess pieces and the nun, the archpriest and the nun began to chat.
The archpriest flipped the chess game and asked casually after thinking about it, "Do you know about the disaster that happened outside?" ”
Grand Nun: "Of course, someone will tell me about something as big, even if I don't want to hear it." ”
The archpriest walked around the second pawn and looked up as if sharing the bad things of the neighbors, and said, "Aisha lost contact two hours ago, and this young girl betrayed us like this. ”
Hughes played chess, and in his own eyes, although the chess played by the great priest was thoughtful, it was full of flaws: "Well, I'm not surprised. ”
Opposite her, the back chess was flipped over and over as if it was about to fall, but it was flipped over by the old fingers.
The nun patted the prayer book next to her with her left hand and said, "You are going to be very slow today." ”
The Grand Priest burst out laughing, and for no reason he felt that what he had been fighting for all his life was just a joke.
He raised his eyebrows and couldn't stop laughing loudly: "I went to the Black Temple as soon as I learned about the Barracuda Street incident, but guess what I found?" ”
Hughes seemed to already know the answer, but he followed the question and asked what he had discovered.
"The Black Temple has been locked up for a long time, and it's been too long since Raleyeh descended into the sky. This natural disaster happened so suddenly, I had no choice but to forcibly open the door of the Black Temple. ”
At this the archpriest laughed louder, but the louder he grew, the more sad he became.
"Hahaha... Aberration... Distortion and filth have been spreading there for a long time. The Black Temple is dead! Lady Hughes, they've fallen into the ugliest stuff in the world. ”
When the Church was most needed in the royal city, the High Priest found that the Black Temple was dead, and the gods inside had already mutated into extremely terrifying monsters.
The reason he came alone was because the rest of the church had died at the hands of the God they once worshipped.
Hughes had already foreseen this ending, and she just lamented that this time had finally arrived.
The extraordinary origin of the Black Temple has been tainted by the Boundary Breaker, the result of her calculations, and the Sun God hopes that the Church will maintain the existence of humanity.
But the gods of the church have long since decayed, and the more they try to use extraordinary forces that are not beyond the control of human beings, the deeper they sink into this quagmire.
The archpriest laughed and laughed tears flowed from his eyes, flapping the chessboard and roaring, "The oath we once swore was just a joke, Hughes, we're done." ”
Hughes seemed very calm, and she said slowly, "That's not a joke, it's just that the church is no longer suitable for the Hunter Declaration. Truth is sometimes a quick sword, I have lived for thousands of years, son, when I sent down an oracle from the sun god, I did not approve of the continued use of extraordinary powers by humans. ”
"But when Apollo later understood that extraordinary powers could only destroy humanity, there was nothing he could do, so I had to help him correct it."
The archpriest was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
The Grand Nun walked the last chess piece, and the chessboard was already a general's momentum.
She also laughed, but it was just a taste of joy: "Silly boy, the Boundary Breaker just happened to find a gap in the high wall, and the murderer who really caused the high wall to collapse is me sitting in front of you." ”
