The Temple of Light looks like an oversized church, the highest voice in the entire Empire, independent of the Holy See and government, and not following anyone's orders, not even the Pope or the Emperor.

Not for anything else, but because the people here are serving the Light.

Although no one ever knew how these servants served the Light and what the Light was, every instruction that came out of the Temple of Light was correct, and all the prophecies that came out of it came true.

This temple is located on the summit of the highest mountain range of the Empire——— 'Elbes', above the clouds, far away from the world, where the snow is covered all year round, and birds can't fly up, in fact, think about it, this should be the closest place to the Antarctic continent in the entire empire.

No one knows why the Temple of Light was built in such a place where there are almost no living beings, and even how it was built, but sometime more than two centuries ago, when people were just getting used to the extremely difficult period of the Light's existence, they found that the Temple of Light was already located here, and all the literature about its construction is unverifiable, and no one has ever claimed to have participated in the construction of the Temple, as if it had existed here long before the Sacred Calendar.

The huge golden door was pushed open, and the vastly empty antechamber of the sanctuary had no pews for worshippers to sit on, no sacred frescoes, no colorful windows, only spotless mirror-like floors, towering domes that made you feel dizzy when you looked up, and the gray and monotonous walls, as if it didn't need anything of beauty or anything to admire.

The people here have no desires, no desires, no relatives, no families, no children, no bonds, and the moment they step through the doors of the temple, they are doomed to die here, and they have only the light in their hearts.

The servant hurried through the antechamber, his footsteps echoing back and forth in the huge space, and because one leg was deformed, he stumbled and stumbled, and finally fell to the ground, and then crawled forward with his hands and feet together for a while, and then came to an old man who meditated with his eyes closed.

"God, God, the Holy Light has a revelation!" He said breathlessly.

The old man, known as the Divine Messenger, was wrapped in a golden blanket, his body was extremely slumped, and the curvature of his spine caused his head to be pushed to the position of his chest, and he could only tilt up slightly with difficulty, and then opened his eyes

There seemed to be a white membrane in front of his pupils, and he no longer seemed to have sight, so he could only turn his head in the general direction where the voice came: "Sudden revelation?" ”

"Yes!" The servant still looked a little flustered. Because in the nearly ten years that he has been a servant of God, the revelation of the Holy Light has almost always come down when the first rays of sunlight shine on the Temple of Light in the morning, and does this sudden revelation mean that something very important has happened?

"Don't panic, sometimes the Light does come down with a revelation, but often it doesn't mean anything, let's hear it first."

The servant calmed his mind a little, and then took out a roll of golden cloth from his bosom, and then spread it out:

"It's a painting."

"Describe it."

"Yes!" The priest organized the language: "In the painting is a man, with short hair, standing on a street, with his right index finger extended, and at the tip of the index finger, there is a line. ”

"Line?"

"Yes, it's just a line that goes diagonally upwards until the end of this canvas, and then it's gone."

The man tried to make his description more detailed, but he couldn't, because the paper was just a few simple lines sketched with the simplest brush, and it looked like a stick figure drawn by a five or six-year-old child.

This. It is the Revelation of the Light.

The people of the Empire never knew how the Light delivered messages to humanity, only the people in the temple knew

Well, they don't know it all yet.

Because all the revelation comes from a very small room.

In the northwest corner of the Temple of Light, a fully enclosed room, less than two square meters in size, only a little more than two meters high, no windows, no gaps, only a tightly fitting door, even a lid, in short, that room was like a large coffin standing up.

And whenever the Light wants to reveal something to the world, the door will open automatically.

At this time, a servant of the gods must go in with a cloth made of gold thread, and then sit down on the only chair inside, and close the door

It must be a cloth woven with gold threads, and if it is a paper of ordinary material, it will automatically burn in this room and eventually turn to ashes.

And the door must be closed, otherwise the Light will not send any revelation.

Also, it must be one person to enter, if there is more than one person, then all the life in the room will be killed, the head will be exploded, or the internal organs will vomit out, or even melt directly, turning into a pool of fishy blood inside.

And after the above conditions are met, the person who enters the room will hear the 'instructions of the Light'.

According to their descriptions, these instructions were not voices, or some apostle of God appearing in front of them to say something, but a message that appeared directly in their heads.

This message may be a text, a few minutes of sound, or a picture, or even something that you can't describe, but what they all have in common is that they are all very vague, like the memory of a dream when you wake up in the morning.

Therefore, in this process, the servants will quickly draw and write down the revelations they have received, or after leaving the room, try to describe what they see in words, and then let the surrounding servants use various methods to record until the revelation is completely forgotten.

And the picture in the hand of the divine servant at this moment was drawn by a person just now.

There was a long silence, and the god made the figure carefully savor the meaning of the picture, but in the end, he couldn't think of anything.

Suddenly, the golden gate was pushed open again, and this time, a short man of only 140 centimeters in size, with no hair, ran in.

In fact, most of the servants are strange-looking, some only have three fingers, some have no pupil on one side of the eyeball, and even some have disappeared from their mouths and throats, resulting in only an incision in the upper abdomen, pouring food directly into the stomach The longer they stay in the Temple of Light, or the more times they listen to the revelation of the Light, the greater the changes in their bodies, but the servants do not care about this, but feel that this kind of physical change is a kind of gift from the Holy Light, because it may be in the cognition of the Holy Light, Humans who look like this are considered beautiful.

At this moment, the short divine servant also held a golden canvas and ran quickly towards the divine envoy, two short legs less than half a meter were frantically upside down, and as he ran, he shouted in his mouth: "Revelation. Another revelation of the Light! ”

The Divine Envoy frowned slightly, for the time between the two revelations was too close

"Say."

The dwarf servant hurriedly pulled away the golden cloth in his hand and spoke:

The revelation of the Light is a text:

[317th attempt, contact successful. Repeated, 317th attempt, contact successful. 】”

After hearing this, the Lord fell silent again, and again, he did not think of any of the meaning of the words.

I don't even know if there is a connection between this sentence and the previous picture.

But it can't be helped, that's what the people in the Temple of Light do every day to interpret the Light.

Because the Holy Light is omniscient and omnipotent, it theoretically does not have the concept of time or space, and on the other hand, it may not be able to understand the dull human perception of time and space.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the revelations given by the Light are not always understood by humans.

"Put it in the book of Revelation that is 'to be analyzed', and send five people to interpret it." Said the Divine Envoy.

"Yes!" A divine servant immediately responded, but he hesitated again: "But my lord, I heard that one night a few days ago, the Empire suffered an extremely large-scale murder of the Holy Son of the Holy See, so could this text and this picture be some kind of revelation of the Holy Light for this incident?" ”

“.？” The face of the elderly oracle was already covered with wrinkles, and at this time, his expression showed a slight displeasure, making him look like a dehydrated potato: "Do you think the Holy Light cares about this?" Or should we care about this? ”

The servant was stunned and immediately bowed his head.

"From the moment we step here, we shouldn't care about anything outside of the temple. Requests from both the Empire and the Government will be accepted only if they are considered to be the most worthy, and will be able to bother the Light to lend a helping hand to the lowly Humanity for any rest of the time. The Light can do whatever it wants! Give whatever inspiration you want! Got it? ”

The servant lowered his head and listened intently to the old man's words, without any rebuttal.

"Alright, go about your business."

The two servants immediately bowed and walked out of the hall, and the old god envoy closed his eyes again, as if he would sit like this forever until he was reduced to a skeleton.

As for the two Light revelations, they were all sent to the Interpretation Room. I don't know what year and month it is, so I can really decipher the meaning.

Naturally, no one can know that this moment is in hell.

The light grew brighter and wider, until it almost enveloped the whole world, and finally 'whewed' and dissipated in an instant, turning into the tiniest speck of dust.

And Sherlock, it was only then that he finally opened his somewhat dry eyes, which were shivering with light.

Then he looked at the gas lamp that emitted a dim light and was stunned for a long time. Long

I finally realized that the eyes I opened this time were in reality.
