Chapter 465: Stratagem

When the high priest heard this, he did not immediately reply, but slowly sat back in his place, and everyone's eyes stayed on the opposite person's body until the other party sat down and slowly exhaled, and then heard a sigh.

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't interrupt the high priest, but instead stared at each other with solemn expressions, but unlike the calm in their expressions, everyone's hearts had already tensed unconsciously.

After all, the Book of Prophecy has a special meaning in the Divine Empire, his existence has created the current Divine Empire, and at the same time, it has also made the Divine Empire enter the ranks of the strong.

It was also in this atmosphere that the High Priest finally spoke, but what he said was not a record of the Son, but rather a memory.

"At the memorial ceremony, the Pope personally handed over the prophecy book to me, and because I was curious, I opened the prophecy book, and only then did I know a little about the content recorded in the prophecy book, but the content in it was very different from what I thought, because what I saw was a blank piece of paper, and there was nothing written on it."

Bai Li exclaimed when she heard this.

"What, blank paper, high priest, is the prophecy false?"

The High Priest shook his head slowly.

"I can't judge whether it's true or false, after all, the prophecy book has always been in the hands of the Pope, and at that time, like you, I suspected that the prophecy book was a hoax, but when I really wanted to find out what was in it, I was surprised to find that there was an energy fluctuation in the prophecy that we didn't understand, and that the fluctuation was vast and powerful, and I couldn't get a glimpse of it with my strength."

"So you mean you didn't see it with your own eyes?"

The High Priest smiled faintly, then shook his head, an action that immediately made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Although I didn't get a glimpse of the true face, I happened to be standing beside the Pope at the same time as the sacrificial ceremony began, when a huge amount of energy was injected into the prophecy, and some handwriting appeared during the period, and it happened that I could see these handwritings."

"What's in there?"

"I saw the word "Son" in it."

"Ahh Is it true that the Son is recorded in the book of prophecy? ”

The High Priest nodded, but shook his head again, but this scene puzzled everyone present.

"High Priest, you nodded and shook your head, what do you mean?"

The High Priest smiled faintly and continued.

"I did see the word "Holy Son", but I also saw a sentence that shocked me to this day, and because of this sentence I have never understood the Pope's intentions, why has he been searching for the whereabouts of the Holy Son all these years, is it to kill him?"

"What? The Pope is going to kill the Son? The crowd was shocked.

"Yes, I thought that the Pope's purpose in finding the Holy Son was to kill him, but judging from the current situation, things seem to be different from what I imagined."

Baili asked eagerly.

"High Priest, what's written in it?"

Hearing this, the high priest's gaze slowly swept over everyone's shocked expressions, and then said.

"It is written in the book of prophecy that the Son will destroy the empire of our Divine Cult."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed extremely shocked looks, and even more because of this turn, they showed a strong sense of confusion and incomprehension.

At this moment, they also seemed to understand the meaning of the words of the high priest just now, after all, an existence that could destroy the Divine Cult Empire should wipe out the law in the cradle, but the current situation is different from what everyone thinks, is there something wrong here?

Everyone was puzzled, and the high priest didn't understand, because he had been secretly investigating the Pope's every move all these years, but in the end, the Pope's actual actions were completely different from his expectations.

This naturally made him puzzled, and when he said it at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the expressions on everyone's faces were exactly the same as his situation at that time.

"Looks like you understand what I mean."

Baili sighed a little dejectedly.

"We see what you mean, but which one is the Pope singing?"

Saab also chimed in at this moment.

"High Priest, since you have already found out, haven't you found the answer all these years?"

The High Priest shook his head.

"If I had found it, I would have understood why the Pope would protect the Son, but now, like you, I don't understand the Pope's intentions."

Sabo exasperated.

"Then what does His Majesty the Pope mean, whether to kill or not to kill, and why did he let the Holy Son get involved in the internal affairs of our Divine Empire, does he want to borrow the hand of the Holy Son to give us a warning?"

The High Priest's eyes lit up slightly, and he said uncertainly.

"It's possible, but it's not very likely."

"And what exactly is his purpose?"

"I can't find out this either, but I have some uncertain speculation."

"Guess?" Bai Li hurriedly asked, "High Priest, what are your guesses?" ”

The High Priest said.

"Since the prophecy book records that the Holy Son will destroy our Divine Empire, then this incident is extremely likely to happen, after all, the prophecy book is a sacred object of our Divine Empire, and the things recorded in it cannot be changed, I once guessed that the Pope's reuse of the Holy Son may be to win over the other party and change the content of the prophecy book through mutual affection."

The High Priest's words suddenly made everyone suddenly brighten, and it seemed that what the other party said was very close to the truth, but the Lord of the Trade Temple, Korodo, who had just recovered from the divine punishment, spoke up.

"High Priest, this is just your wishful thinking, plus you have only seen a very small part of the content of the prophecy, so it is unknown whether the Holy Son will destroy our Divine Cult Empire, our Divine Cult Empire has been established for a hundred years, even if it is placed on this continent, there are very few people who can give my Divine Cult Empire a threat, where is it possible to destroy our Divine Empire because of a Holy Son, are your words a bit alarmist."

The High Priest was not annoyed by Krodo's questioning, but said lightly.

"Have you forgotten the divine punishment just now?"

The words instantly made Corodo's annoyed emotions pickle like eggplant, and he snorted.

"What can we do if we are punished by God, since the Holy Son may destroy our Divine Cult Empire, why can't we kill him, so that the threat of the Holy Son can be completely erased, and the Pope can erase the infamy of slaughtering the Holy Son, such the best of both worlds, I don't think the Pope will blame us."

The words of the Lord of the Trade Temple, Korodo, seemed reasonable, but the High Priest laughed.

"What is divine punishment, you, me, and everyone present know that a holy son can attract divine punishment, can't you see what is behind this?"

Colorodo exased.

"It can be seen that what can God do, God will not pay attention to the human world all the time, if we kill the Holy Son, will God punish God? Besides, we are believers in the Cult of God, and I don't believe that God will be on his side with a threat that can destroy the Empire of the Cult. ”
