Chapter 263: May I Make Up for the Temple's Work Mistakes (2/4)
10 p.m.
Coming out of the Mochizuki Garden, looking at the dark night sky, Shapole was a little confused: "Lawson, let's go to the temple next?"
"Yes."
"A hundred years ago, the temple was no longer involved in the struggle for secular power, and I am afraid it will not help us."
"Don't worry, you will."
Today's Silver Moon Fort is basically under the control of Fu Bobo, and their strength is absolutely weak, so they can only quietly deploy in the form of sneak attacks.
But it was very unsafe to do so, and once Vobos detected it and sent people to attack and kill him, the plan failed.
Therefore, he must have the power to change the situation alone.
In the entire Silver Moon Castle, only the high-level wisdom potions produced by the temple can do this.
So, he's going to get the medicine.
Moreover, he was also 100% sure of convincing the priest of Fa'o to administer the medicine.
It was still the night mirror technique to protect himself, and after rushing all the way into the sky, he arrived at the large market in the south of the city where the temple was located in less than two minutes.
After landing on the ground, Rosen tapped himself and Shabolai on the face, using the fine mirror image.
In the dim environment, the two people wearing ordinary cotton clothes are ordinary passers-by.
Ahead is the temple.
The lights of the temple, which are not extinguished 24 hours a day, symbolize the eternal existence of the golden gods.
The door of the temple is also open twenty-four hours a day, symbolizing the embrace of the golden god and the eternal openness.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Rosen and Shapole arrived in the prayer hall of the temple, where only one young assistant priest was keeping vigil.
When the two entered the temple, the assistant priest came over politely, but did not recognize the identities of the two.
He asked formulaically in a gentle and reserved manner, according to the etiquette of a priest.
"What did they seek when they came to the temple of God late at night?"
Shabolai returned the samurai salute, and Rosen returned the mage salute, and then took out his mage badge and handed it over.
"Please give this to the priest Fao, and tell him that I am facing a very important and very urgent problem."
"We have hope for God's help. If I can, I hope to meet the High Priest."
The young priest was a little embarrassed: "The high priest is very old, and he has already rested early."
Rosen immediately said, "If this matter involves the future of nearly a million people in the entire highlands, can it disturb the sleep of the High Priest of Fao a little?"
The assistant priest was stunned, obviously unable to parry such a battle, and looked down at the badge, and found that it was a mid-level divine grace badge made of lilac secret gold.
In the Golden Church, the other party's status is far higher than his.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and report to the High Priest."
He turned and went to the apse.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a quarter of an hour, the figure of the assistant priest did not appear, as if it was missing.
Rosen's heart moved, he guessed something, and he immediately pulled Chabolai's arm: "Uncle, come with me."
With that, he strode towards the door that led to the back hall.
Shabolai was startled: "Lawson, the back hall of the temple is a forbidden area of the gods, so please do not enter."
Rosen smiled faintly: "I am also a warrior of God, and I have fought to the death for God, God will forgive me for my little rudeness."
Twisting and pinching, following the rules can not do great things, the first thing to do is to be shameless!
When I got to the side door, I reached out and pushed it, but I didn't push it open, and the door was locked.
But ordinary door locks can't bother mages.
With the hand of a mage, in less than ten seconds, the door lock "clicked" open, and Lawson pushed the door in.
Seeing that Xia Bolai was still a little hesitant, he urged, "Come in, uncle!"
The two entered the back hall.
Lawson has been to the backroom several times and is very familiar with the structure inside.
After a little recognition, he walked towards the stairs on the right, and went up the stairs to the corner
There is a door, behind which is the bedroom of the priest of the temple.
He knocked lightly on the door, "High Priest Fao, a late night visit has disturbed your rest."
A few seconds later, a very cold voice came from behind the door: "If you know it's an interruption, why do you want to break in?"
It was the High Priest of Fao.
Rosen said softly, "High Priest, our behavior is indeed very rude, but now that you are awake, can you squeeze out some time to guide us?"
There was silence behind the door for a while, and just as Lawson was about to force the door open, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door, and then the door opened, and behind the door stood a white-haired old man wearing a gold-rimmed ceremonial dress on a white background.
He looked at Rosen angrily with an angry look on his face.
He could naturally see through Rosen's magic illusion and reprimand him angrily.
"Rosen, God will not participate in the struggle for secular power, and I have clearly rejected you, why do you have to come in?"
Lawson immediately bowed.
"High Priest, I sincerely repent of my wrongdoing, but I have something to say."
"Please give me five minutes, and if I don't convince you after five minutes, I'll turn around and leave, and never bother."
Fao took a deep breath, and finally nodded, considering the deep affection that the other party had.
"Come in and talk."
As soon as the two entered the room, Fao locked the door, and Lawson directly released a silent barrier.
Rosen didn't waste time, and said his request bluntly.
After finishing speaking, he asked Shabol to take out Sophia's passing scroll.
The High Priest of Fao naturally knew the emblem on the scroll, and also knew about the existence of the scroll, because Sophia wrote it down in front of him.
But as the highest-ranking shaman in the Highlands and the first spokesman of the gods in the Highlands, he strictly followed the oracles and had no interest in who became the earl, and had no intention of interfering.
So, he very simply rejected Rosen's request.
"Master Lawson, you made a very low-level mistake!"
"The temple's high-level wisdom potions are used to exorcise demons and practice the Third Golden Rule, not in secular power struggles, so I won't give it to you, Master Lawson."
He turned to Shapole again, "General, you shouldn't have come to me."
Hearing this, Xia Bolai had nothing to say, subconsciously looked at Lawson, and said in a low voice, "Or ......."
He doesn't have the slightest psychological advantage before God.
Lawson had already figured out a reason to raise his hand to stop Shapole's words, and his eyes were fixed on Fao: "High priest, let me ask you a few questions."
"Ask."
"First, is it because Count Sophia suddenly fell unconscious because he suffered a soul blow that violated the Third Golden Rule?"
"Yes." Fao nodded.
"Second, if it weren't for this blow, would Count Sophia always be able to firmly control the situation in Silvermoon Castle and always ensure the stability of the political situation in the Highlands?"
"Yes." The priest nodded again.
"Thirdly, but now the Count is unconscious, and it is the sacred duty of the Temple to practice the Third Golden Rule, that is to say, the Temple has failed in its duty. Since it was a dereliction of duty, shouldn't the temple make amends?!"
The priest was stunned, hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded slowly: "Yes."
Rosen said, "If it weren't for this unexpected soul blow, with the current situation in the highlands, Chabolay would definitely take over the position of earl, and Vaupos would not have the slightest chance."
"And this book of succession is proof of that!"
"But because of the mistake of the temple's work, Vaupos profited and got the opportunity to become an earl."
"It's a mistake and deserves to be fixed!"
Rosen pressed in.
"High Priest, as a warrior of the gods, I think I am qualified to help the temple make up for the consequences of its mistakes."
"But I'm only a mortal, and because of the urgency of the situation and all the Count's demands for stability, I have to fight alone."
"I, a mortal mage, can't do all this on my own, I need God's support!"
Fao opened his mouth, realizing that he couldn't find an excuse to refute it.
After a long while, he said, "But the use of high-level wisdom elixirs to interfere with the change of lords has not appeared for a hundred years. If I support you, I will directly break the tradition that the Highlands have built up for hundreds of years."
"It's right to follow tradition, but the world is changing so fast that even the gods are changing, so it's only natural for the temple to change."
「.......」
Speechless, Fao sighed, "I'm confused, but I'll pray to God and seek God's guidance."
After speaking, he ignored the two of them, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and bowed down to whisper a prayer.
As he prayed, a faint golden light shone on Fao.
The anomaly lasted for about two minutes before disappearing, and Fao straightened up again, looking at Rosen again, a look of complexity flashing in his eyes.
He spoke slowly.
"God says you're a remarkable logic mage, and your logic is infallible. The temple really needs to fix the mundane situation that was unexpectedly reversed by the soul blow, and get everything back on the right track."
"So, I'll give you the potion."
Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to salute Fao: "Thank God for your discernment."
Fao walked over to the bedside cabinet, opened it, and pulled out a wooden box from inside.
"For nearly a hundred years, the temple has never been directly involved in the change of secular lords, so it will not make any written statements until everything is a foregone conclusion."
"In the box, there are bottles of high-level wisdom potions and blue potions, representing God's support for you."
Rosen saluted again, took the powerful potion respectfully with both hands, and said another thing.
"Oh yes, and I hope the High Priest will give me a certificate to prove that the former head of the Mage's Guild, Faeron. Sano has been punished by God and died."
"The reason is that he believes in Van der Long, the Necromantic Monarch, and uses demonic sorcery to perform soul strikes."
Unfortunately, there is no evidence that Faren is related to Vobos, otherwise this alone would have been enough to bring down Vobos.
Fao's brows furrowed: "He actually did it?"
"Yes, and I'm a target, but luckily I'm favored by God."
After a moment's thought, Fao confirmed that this was true, because only Faeron, who was also an archmage, had the ability to seriously injure Sophia in a sneak attack.
He immediately gave Rosen a certificate of death to Pheren and described the cause of death.
After receiving the proof, Lawson assures, "Before sunrise, unexpected bugs will be fixed, and there will be no chaos in Silvermoon Castle."
"That's the best!"
