Chapter 36: The Messenger of God
Jett rushed to the Holy City with Menes' letters and a large amount of money and supplies.
The Holy City is a sacred place, a city of worship to the gods, the history of the Kemert Kingdom is more than 3,000 years, and the capital has been changed several times, but the Holy City has always been a holy city.
In this land, there was a holy city first, and then a capital.
You can challenge the authority of the White City, but no one dares to challenge the gods of the Holy City, His Majesty Pharaoh will be overthrown, but the High Priest of the Holy City can only be elected by the Temple, and the Pharaoh cannot appoint the High Priest.
Indeed, Pharaoh's double crown was crowned by the high priest.
The Temple of Lusos in the Holy City is a magnificent temple and covers an extremely large area, and the royal palace in the White City is only one-third the size of the Temple of Lusos.
In addition to the Temple of Lusos, there are hundreds of temples in the Holy City.
The streets of the Holy City are clean and tidy, even the houses of the common people are regularly painted by the temples, the squares, statues are everywhere, and the warehouses are filled with goods and goods from all over the country.
The temple of the Kemert Kingdom is very powerful, and it controls the ideology and ideas of the entire country, and of course, most importantly, it controls nearly half of the country's wealth resources.
In recent years, the power of His Majesty Pharaoh has declined, which has further fueled the ambition of the temple, and the high priest is already the most offending person in this country, and it is okay to scold Pharaoh but not to insult the high priest.
Therefore, after Menes took the Ram State, he arranged for Jett to go to the Holy City immediately to seek the understanding and acquiescence of the Holy City, and as for the White City, Menes also sent a letter to his father, and his father communicated with the White City, after all, the White City belonged to the Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and if he wanted to come to Menes for trouble, he had to pass through the territory of the Holy City.
Jett stood cautiously in the center of the temple's main hall and waited for the High Priest to arrive.
Jett had been waiting for an afternoon, standing motionless until the sun had set, and the High Priest had slowly walked in.
The lighting of the temple was not good, and after the sun went down, it was dark, and the servants of the temple quietly lit a few candles, and the lights were dim.
The high priest was so high that he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.
Jett had seen the High Priest when he was young, and now he hadn't seen the High Priest for many years, and it wasn't for Menes' incident that Jett didn't want to see the High Priest.
Imon Hopt sat in the dark shadows and did not speak.
Jett was a little nervous, Menes' letter had already been delivered, and as for whether the High Priest had read it, Jett didn't know.
Silent and half-paid, Jett decided to speak first.
Jett gathered his thoughts and said, "The mouth of the great gods, the most powerful magician of Kemert, the omniscient oracle, my esteemed mentor, Lord Emonhorn, may you always be favored by the gods!"
After saying a bunch of beautiful words, Jett paused slightly and sneaked a glance at the high priest.
It was dark and there was no expression in sight.
Jett licked his lips and continued, "The gods have abandoned Ancotifi, the holy cat Bastith has defeated Knum, and we ask your great priest to convey the will of the gods!"
The high priest remained silent.
"This is not our case, Lord Ankotivi has repeatedly assassinated Lord Menes, and then he has been abandoned by the gods, but we are still the people of the Holy City. Jett had been thinking about what to say about it on the way here, and now it could only be said that it was God's will.
"Jett hasn't seen you in years, have you forgotten who you are?" a hollow, muddy voice echoed from all around the temple's main hall.
Jett immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Jett dare not forget, we are God's messengers, shepherds of mortals. ”
A sigh came!
"God has not given up on Lord Ancotifi, Menes is usurping God's territory, why don't you, as the shepherd of the Holy Cat State, stop it? You are challenging my authority!" the hollow voice didn't have any tone, but Jett had buried his head deep in the ground.
"Honorable mortals do not know the will of God, so we ask for your ruling!"
The High Priest was silent for a long time and asked, "I heard that Menes was resurrected by you and possessed the Kaba Soul?"
"Yes, sir!"
"How did you do that?"
"It's ......," Jett was a little speechless.
The way to resurrect the mummy is not that the high priest does not know, but he can't operate it, this is the identification of the Godhead, but the mummy Jett who has a soul can't say it clearly.
Jett could only say truthfully, "Jett is just resurrecting a mummy, but he doesn't know how to have a soul." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge Light and Shadow Demon flew over and grabbed Jett's head.
The giant hand was rough and powerful, and Jaite grabbed Jet's head tightly, and Jett didn't dare to resist or move, so he could only wait quietly.
In half a day, the giant hand quickly took it back and disappeared into the darkness.
Jett breathed a sigh of relief, the High Priest was just checking to see if Jett was lying, but Jett really wasn't lying.
The high priest asked, "I heard that after the resurrection, Menes' temperament changed dramatically, and his behavior became very strange, but is this the case?"
"Back to the High Priest, it is!"
"After his resurrection, he reclaimed the swamps, robbed the relics of your temple, called the untouchables brothers, trained the army, made large hydraulic blowers, metallurgical blast furnaces, made crossbow arrows, and ate with two sticks?"
A flurry of questions made Jett realize that the High Priest had been watching Menes for a long time, and that there were many High Priests in the Holy Cat State.
"Indeed, as you said, everything is true, and Menes has become the king of mummies!"
Before coming, Jett thought about it repeatedly, no matter how protective the High Priest was of Ankotifi, now that the matter was completed, the High Priest would not fail to understand that Menes' most important bargaining chip now was to have a mummy, and he was the king of mummies, and the High Priest should also take this into account.
Hearing Jet's words, the High Priest suddenly let out a contemptuous laugh and said, "King of Mummies, are you threatening me?"
Jett knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, Menes just wants to ask for credit!"
"Credit?"
"Honorable High Priest, Menes is now more capable than equal, the demigod of the dual godhead, the King of Mummies, who wishes to serve you and be loyal to you. ”
Now the whole country is in chaos and will fall apart at any time, and the most powerful ones are the prime minister of the White City and the high priest of the Holy City.
Menes' current strength is no longer comparable to that of an Ankotifi, Menes leads to that side, and that side will have one more chip for victory, and the high priest cannot refuse.
"Loyal to me, then why didn't Menes come himself?" asked the high priest.
"Mortals are afraid of death, and demigods are human beings!" Jett's reason was simple.
If you are not afraid of death, the high priest will not be able to control him.
"Mistress Menes has said that he will double the compensation for everything that Ankotivi has given to the temple, as long as you understand!"
The high priest sneered and said, "Baicheng, you also double?"
"Don't dare! You are our master, and we only gave letters in the White City. ”
"Well, if you know how to do things, go Jett and don't forget who you are. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Obedience, Jett is a messenger of God and a shepherd of mortals. Jett hurriedly bowed his head.
When he looked up, the high priest had disappeared into the darkness.
