Chapter 109 Secrets
Divinity can be transformed, but it cannot be annihilated. In other words, most of the divinity of the god of war has been transformed into other attributes, used by other gods, and permanently separated from the god of war. This is already equivalent to plundering believers, even worse than plundering believers, and it is an absolute reason for the start of the divine war.
Countless brilliant golden lights bloomed from the throne, and instantly sank into the depths of the void. It was the will of the god of war, searching for the one who had stolen his divinity across the entire plane.
Almost at the same time, all of the gods of Pharo learned of the wrath of the god of war, and they expressed their anger or comfort, while others remained silent, the powerful gods whose divine power was not under Ludris.
The plane is vast, and everyone knows that the search of the god of war will not be fruitful, and he is only using it to show his divine power and warn the daring thief. Moreover, the kingdom of the gods is inviolable, even the three goddesses with the lowest divine power, unless Ludris is willing to start a divine war, it is possible to invade the kingdom of other gods.
Ludris also conveyed his anger to his mortal church.
As a god with great divine powers, the god of war has his own shrines throughout the Faro plane. However, the base camp of the church is still in the Baroque Kingdom, and the highest level of the church was almost wiped out in the recent invasion of the xenoplane, which dealt a heavy blow to the belief of the god of war in the mortal world. Even Ludris himself had no hope that the church would be able to find someone who had stolen his divine power.
At this moment, in the royal capital of the Baroque Kingdom, in the Great Temple of the God of War, it was not until the will of the God of War had long disappeared that the people in the main hall stood up trembling one by one. All of them were pale, and some even vomited blood and fell to the ground, unconscious. The anger of the God of War just now was too strong for these new clergymen to resist.
Standing in front of them were seven cardinals. Not so long ago, the number of cardinals was in the dozens, but now there are only seven left, two of whom have been added on an ad hoc basis. After listening to the oracle, the seven cardinals entered the conference room and began to discuss the oracle they had just received.
The six cardinals spoke one after the other, but there was no clue about the solution.
Before the invasion of the plane, they were all marginal figures in the Cardinals, and they had no experience in dealing with such a major event on their own. Moreover, Arnold was both king and pope at that time, and the cardinal did it, and there was no chance to make a decision. As soon as Arnold died, the disadvantages were revealed, and there were simply no talents in the church who could support the overall situation.
Then a young man sitting at the end of the seat suddenly said, "I think I know who stole the divinity!"
This sentence was earth-shattering, and it attracted everyone's attention at once.
Under the concentrated gaze of the six eyes, the young man looked a little nervous, but he calmed down and said slowly: "It's Zonghu." Have you forgotten that after Zonghu agreed to go to war, King Arnold gave him all three artifacts of the God of War. But we failed miserably in the battle of the portal, and the whereabouts of Zonghu and his three artifacts are unknown. I think that it is Zong Hu who wants to become a god and steals the divinity in the God of War artifact. Don't forget, he has the ability to do that too!"
The cardinals exchanged heads and discussions, and the eyes of the young men were full of strangeness.
There was even a hint of childishness on the young cardinal's face, he was too young, almost twenty years old. If he hadn't been Arnold's son, if it weren't for the fact that the Cardinals had to have a direct royal line, he wouldn't have sat here. And now, he has made the most direct and severe accusations.
The cardinals may not be able to make a decision right away, but they all know the motives behind the young man's accusations, whether they are true or false.
During those dark days, his mother, who was also one of Arnold's favorite concubines, committed suicide afterwards, although she was one of the few who was not tortured and killed by Zong Hu on the spot.
Eventually, one of the eldest cardinals spoke: "This judgment...... Caution is required. If it's wrong, it's a big sin. ”
His opinion was immediately echoed by the cardinals.
If the cardinals really can't complete such an oracle, then it will naturally be impossible to delay it for a while. At that time, everyone was at most useless, but they had to repay according to the young man's guess, and if they were wrong, they might incur divine punishment.
The young man was telling a lot of credibility, and the bishops knew it. It's all his speculation.
What was the truth of the case of Concubine Abahai's fornication back then no longer has any meaning. When the baby Zonghu taken out of the live dissected mother not only has a breath and heartbeat, but also the rich blood immediately triggers the will of the god of war to come, which means that the road of Zonghu's growth is bound to be bloody, and the person or family who becomes a stepping stone is innocent or guilty, in fact, there is no difference.
The young cardinal, seeing the expressions of his colleagues, turned pale, suddenly stood up and said coldly: "Since you are all afraid of responsibility, then I will go and report to God alone." Whatever happens, I'll take care of it!"
With that, he walked out of the conference room and slammed the door with all his might. In the violent collision, even the ceiling was shaken off a lot of ancient dust.
At dusk, in front of the statue of the god of war, the young cardinal knelt down and had been praying silently. There were clergymen who walked through the main hall, knowing that he was communicating with the will of the god of war, and they all slowed down, but the eyes that secretly looked at him were full of disdain and ridicule.
The sunset has set into the mountains, but the temple of the god of war suddenly shines brightly, and the strong golden light on the statue is dazzling, and for a while, the entire hall can no longer see anything except the strong golden light!
Rolling majesty emanated from the idol, and the will of the god of war descended again, and two golden rays of light shot out of the idol's eyes and fell straight on the young cardinal.
The young man fell to the ground, trembling and looking in pain, but his face was full of ecstasy. And the divine power in his body is like a raging fire, and it is rising day by day! This is the divine grace, the divine favor that could not be clearer!
At this moment, all the people in the main hall, when they regained their sight, looked at the young cardinal in astonishment, their eyes with envy and jealousy, and more with hatred.
When the will of the god of war receded, the young cardinal finally struggled to his feet. At this moment, there was already a majesty on his young face that could not be disobeyed. With the will of the god of war, he has inevitably ascended to the papal throne, and the battle for the crown of the Baroque kingdom has come to an end.
The young cardinal glanced at the people in the hall, as well as the red-clothed and cardinals who came as quickly as possible, and said slowly: "Oracle, Zonghu has stolen the divinity of the three artifacts of the God of War, and he is already a blasphemer. ”
Blasphemer, this is the greatest sin of mortals, not only will he be wanted and hunted down by the God of War Church, but he will also be wanted by the gods who are on the same side as the God of War. And not only will the blasphemer be slowly burned to death by the divine fire, but his family will also be burned at the stake.
However, Zonghu sheds the blood of the god of war, and the only one who can judge and execute him is the god himself. But Zonghu's mother clan will suffer a catastrophe because of this. Although Concubine Abahai was born in a small family with little status, after the Abbhai concubine's fornication case, there are less than 1,000 people left. However, a oracle from the young people meant that those who had escaped the catastrophe of the year would die a painful death in the flames, including the elderly, women, and even infants.
Late at night, the young cardinal walked towards the library of the cardinals, and all the people he met along the way, prostrate themselves on the ground, to pay him the utmost humility and the highest respect. The future pope responded with a perfect smile and courtesy, and was meticulous in his words of blessing to the faithful.
This is a future pope who has the virtue of humility, but he will never stop the prostrate of the faithful.
At this moment, there was a faint scream and wail from afar, and a man protested, angry, and begged, but to no avail, still dragged through the long, eerie corridor by two black-robed law enforcement warriors to the black prison where the heretics were held. That man was the same cardinal who had rejected the young man's proposal at the Council of Cardinals in the afternoon.
The screams and wails went away, and the young man listened with an expression of enjoyment, until he could no longer hear anything, then sighed regretfully and continued to the library.
It was a small library for cardinals, with countless books that were forbidden to circulate outside. Each cardinal has his own special seat, and the Pope has a separate reading room.
The young man walked to a bookshelf, pulled out an old book with a black cover, and went straight to the Pope's reading room, sat down, opened the book, and skillfully turned to the page he had last read.
He stroked the heavy yellowed pages, a distorted smile slowly appeared on his handsome face, and whispered, "Zonghu, you can't escape anymore, can ......you?"
The old black book on the table was an ancient forbidden book that recorded many dark gods and dark witchcraft. One of them is to use mysterious and bloody rituals to extract the divine blood from a person's body and make it available to others to absorb. In the ancient period of the Divine Wars, millions of people were thrown into the pool of blood because of the existence of this ritual.
Richard, who returned to the floating island, saw a pile of high texts on the study table again, and suddenly felt the urge to smash things.
According to Norland time, how long has it been, and there are so many things that need to be dealt with by himself?In fact, Richard also knew that all the documents that would be presented to him had been carefully selected by the old butler, and he was really unable to make a decision, or that he had exceeded his authority to manage affairs. At such an age, the old housekeeper still radiates the vitality of a young man, and he works late into the night every night, which is actually very hard.
