Chapter 29: The Temple of Sin

When Gaia walked out of the house of Gucius, his steps were much heavier, and his whole person was covered with a thick haze, and he did not look for the old man in the library anymore, but slowly walked towards the holy lake.

Gucius didn't tell Gaia who the person who gave the order was, Gaia had to find out the matter on his own, and although he was now suppressed by his heavy background problems, he still wouldn't delay his own murder in order to let the hundreds of souls of the dead in Matu Village rest in peace.

"Brother Gaia......" Sanliv was still alone on the shores of the holy lake, and when she saw Gaia walking heavily towards him, she hurriedly stood up, and walked up to him barefoot, trying to ask him what had happened, but Gaia did not say a word.

Sanliv didn't dare to speak, so she stood next to him, and waited until Gaia was fully composed, and then Gaia glanced at the girl beside her and said to her, "Go back, I need to calm down." ”

As Gaia went deeper, he found that all this was getting heavier and heavier, even to the extent that he couldn't bear it at all, Gaia was a person who was not used to talking to others, so keeping these things in his heart made his emotions more and more difficult to control, he had other things and people he cared about besides the murderer, so he didn't want these things that bothered him to dominate his thoughts.

Gaia didn't pay attention to Sanliv next to him, and plunged directly into the holy lake, and suddenly the cold lake water poured into his clothes, stimulating his skin, and without the support of magic, the feeling of this cold water was not so pleasant.

"Huh?" Frightened by Gaia's astonishing actions, Sanliv hurried to the shore of the sacred lake to check on Gaia's condition, but Gaia sank the whole person to the bottom of the sacred lake, motionless, like a statue sinking to the bottom of the water.

Sanliv wanted to drain the water from the surrounding lake, but Gaia shook her head at him in the water, the feeling of being soaked in cold water might have cleared his mind a little, Gaia closed his eyes, the swordsman's physique kept him from suffocating in the lake.

Sanliv also guessed that Gaia must be under a lot of mental pressure now, even to the point of collapse, but she couldn't help anything, so she could only watch Gaia use this masochistic way to regulate her emotions, and she was even more sad, so she stepped into the lake herself.

Her holy milky gauze skirt was quickly wet by the lake, and as her flexible waist did not enter the cold lake, her skirt silk kept swinging with the swaying lake water like algae, and these translucent and soft materials became very loose because of the reason for being immersed in the water, and the corset chest that tightly wrapped her ** also seemed to fall off, revealing the most attractive spring scene in the bright moonlight.

Gaia also knew that the girl had walked into the lake, but he still ignored it, he closed his eyes and didn't care about the boiling pink color, as if he wanted to sink to the bottom of the lake like this, and then sleep forever, so that those troubles would disappear forever.

I don't know how long it took, how long Gaia sank, and Sanliv accompanied him, but Sanliv didn't have the physique of a swordsman, and when she sank completely into the water and gradually had difficulty breathing, the jade pendant on her chest had a strange effect, gradually freeing her from the pain of suffocation.

"Whoa!!" Gaia suddenly opened her eyes, and the whole person bounced directly from the bottom of the lake, washed away the icy lake, and landed on the lakeside, her eyes fell on Sanlif, who was still soaked in the water, and said to her: "Go back." ”

Only then did Sanliv react and slowly walked out of the lake, but the wetness of her body made her hair loose and her clothes messy, and the translucent gauze skirt became completely transparent, sticking tightly to her body, and those smooth and jade-like skin could be clearly seen in the moonlight.

"Come here. Gaia didn't know if she was acting coy or if she really just wanted to use this somewhat stupid way to dissolve her haze, and she couldn't bear to let her look so wet when she looked at her pitifully.

Sanliv nodded, but when she found that her clothes had become extremely transparent, her cheeks were still red, but fortunately the more obvious parts were covered by her underwear, otherwise she really didn't know how to face the man in front of her.

Gaia placed her hand in front of Sanlif, and with the urging of the magic, the water that had been absorbed on Sanrifu's body began to condense rapidly, as if it had been twitched. These water molecules were controlled by Gaia's magic and soon formed a relatively large water droplet, which was slapped into the sacred lake by Gaia with a wave of his hand, and there was no water on Shanliv's body.

"Sort it out, and then go back. Gaia said to Sanliv, whose clothes and hair were still a little messy.

"Hmm. Sanliv nodded, her fair cheeks still flushed. After arranging her gauze skirt and hair, she looked at Gaia again, and saw that he had no intention of talking to her, so she had to walk down the back mountain path to the temple.

Gaia spent a moment alone in the Sacred Lake, swapped out for a Templar's robe, and returned to the temple to wait for the doctrinal ceremony that Sanliv had attended three days later, and to sneak into the Chapel of Sin to find out the cases of those people.

As Gaia walked towards the Holy Mountain, two figures slowly appeared in the lake jungle, judging from their postures, one was an elderly man, and the other was a woman with a beautiful figure.

"Lankani, after so many years, you have fallen like this, I really don't know if I should feel sorry for you. The woman said.

"You are not having a good time, otherwise you would not have come all the way to the imperial capital. The old man's eyes showed a little helplessness.

"Hmph, damn the Diangeng Sect, I'll settle this account with them, and I have to thank that little guy for that......" The woman said.

"Hey, that guy Gusius is too much to keep secrets, I'm afraid something big will happen. The old man said with a sigh.

"Then you won't stop him?"

"Even stopping it won't help, just let it be. ”

......

In the past three days, Gaia has used his status as a templar to try to explore the various places in the temple that may contain important historical materials, but those places are quite heavily guarded, and Gaia does not dare to take this risk, and now he is at most looking for clues in some records of the Holy Maiden Temple, but the Holy Maiden Temple does not have much real power, and it is difficult to provide evidence in Gaia's favor.

So Gaia could only hope in the sealed records in the temple of sin. After the arrival of the third day, the Holy Maiden Sanliv arrived at the Hall of Inquisition surrounded by the goddesses, and Gaia, as the personal triolis of the temple, did not need much elaborate etiquette, as long as she kept guarding the holy woman.

Sacred hymns had resounded in the vast halls, and the priests who had magically rendered the colors of the sky had taken their place, holy light flashing around their goose-yellow robes. As the chief priest, Meisha stood in the center of the doctrinal priests, holding a heavy religious holy book in her hand and chanting in a light voice, in front of her was the holy woman Sunny who was surrounded by many female priests, at this time she had faded from the appearance of a delicate girl, and indeed looked like a transcendent holy maiden, with a beautiful face with the purest smile, but her eyes sometimes flashed a little worried.

Gaia had already activated the effect of the Concealment Ring when she was escorting the Holy Maiden into the Hall of Judgment, and secretly bypassed the main hall where everyone had gathered, and walked towards the loosely guarded Hall of Sin that stretched out from the Hall of Judgment.

The Hall of Evil is the place where the Hall of Judgment stores all the information about the mistakes committed by the members of the Temple, and there are many cells for judging heretics next to the Hall of Evil, but fortunately, the guards of the Temple of Evil are much smaller than the prison cells of the cultists, and Gaia is still able to break in with the help of the Hidden Ring and his own speed.

The lights of the Temple of Sin are dim, and when you enter here through the guards, you can see some believers sorting out the materials piled up on the shelves, Gaia knows that it is impossible to have the information she wants here, and after knocking out a believer who was sorting out materials in the corner, Gaia quickly changed into his clothes and went directly to the depths of the Temple of Sin.

Along the winding staircase, Gaia calmly passed through the believers who were sorting through the materials, and soon arrived at a guarded secret room, and according to the information obtained from Sanlif, the records of the sins of those in high positions in the temple were sealed, so Gaia had been trying to find this kind of place when she stepped into this place.

"The two adjudicators, it should be the strength of the sword masters, they will send two swordsmen to guard here, they should be the place to be found......" Hiding in the corner, Gaia glanced at the secret room, and then glanced at the two adjudicators who were standing there like statues, and said secretly.

If it was a sneak attack, Gaia, who had the Concealment Ring and a speed that no one could match, would definitely be able to deal with someone much higher than his own strength, not to mention these two swordsmen whose strength was only at the first order. Gaia, dressed as a Believer, pretended to be in the wrong position, and then slammed his dagger and stabbed it directly into the side of one of the adjudicators, striking him directly in the temple with a powerful fighting spirit the moment he dodged, and the adjudicator fell without making a sound.

The other Adjudicator had already made a sound, but Gaia's magic instantly enveloped the area, sealing all possible channels for the sound to come out of it with a layer of earth, preventing the sound from being heard, and at the same time the indestructible dagger in his hand slid through the Adjudicator's armor.

The adjudicator's reaction was quite fast, very sensitive to dodge Gaia's attack, and when he was about to use his fighting spirit to force Gaia back, suddenly a layer of mist-like gas rushed towards him, this adjudicator would have expected that this assassin actually had such an insidious prop, and hurriedly drank a gust of wind, wanting to blow away these sleepy fogs, but his reaction was still a little slower, these psychedelic potions were spilled by Gaia before the attack, not to mention the swordsman, even if the great swordsman inhaled it, he might be directly put down。

"Fetzer's stuff really works. Gaia, who had already taken the antidote in advance, looked at the unconscious adjudicator and said to herself.

Both guards were dealt with, and Gaia piled their bodies into a corner to avoid attracting attention, and then used the enchantment dagger to slide open the barrier that sealed the secret room.

It was much easier to break the lock after the barrier was opened, and Gaia entered the religious vault where the important case was stored very smoothly, and quickly flipped through the information of the person who made the mistake ten years ago.

These historical materials have been sorted out quite clearly, and Gaia did not spend much time to find the record of ten years ago, which does implicitly explain that the enslavement beast attacked the village is indeed the evil in the temple, but Gaia is angry: the person who killed more than 2,000 people, including Matu Village and other villages, the punishment given by the temple was actually only two years of silence!

"Two thousand lives are only worth two years for that person, is this a temple or a cult!" Gaia angrily grabbed this heavy historical book, and the cyan wind blade directly turned it into pieces of dust!

Gaia didn't dare to stay here any longer, and included all the historical materials that might record the evidence of the crime into the space bracelet, and waited for enough time to look at them one by one.

After walking through the last shelf, Gaia suddenly found the record about Bisara, the daughter of the Great Sage of Lankani twenty years ago, and his emotions fluctuated significantly, and he also put this record into the space bracelet, and then quickly left the secret room.

Gaia found a dark corner and changed into the Templar's outfit before making a detour to the back of the Hall of Judgment, where the teachings were being conducted, but the two people who approached him made Gaia stunned, because the woman on the left was none other than Mesa, who had just finished the ceremony, and next to her was a mighty man in golden armor!

Gaia had already removed his thick beard, and he couldn't be seen as long as he had his head down while wearing a helmet, but Mesa seemed to recognize the strangely behaving Templar, and her eyes fell on him.

"Meisha, I've confirmed that the person who killed my brother was that Gaia, hmph, if I tell the story, that Imperial hero will become a temple sinner, shouldn't you, as the captain, give some explanation. The seemingly mighty man uttered something extremely cold, apparently unaware that there was a Templar standing nearby, or even in his eyes.

"Are you threatening me? don't you think you're naïve?" said Meisha with a little coldness at all.

"Of course not, I'm just concerned about the real cause of my brother's death, we can talk about this matter privately, why don't you come to my library tonight, there is no one else there...... We ......"

"You are the lowest person I have ever met, do not think that I do not know what you have done to those goddesses and priests, after this doctrinal rite, you will wait to be judged by the Hall of Judgment. Meisha said coldly, and left with her sleeves after speaking, obviously already a little angry.

Lenny stared at Meisha's back viciously, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and said coldly: "Since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for using extraordinary means, hum, you look proud all day long, and when I get my hands on it, that bottle of potion will make you the most indulgent woman in the world!"

Lenny took a few steps, and only then did he see the Templar who was blocked by the pillar, and the expression on his face changed significantly, and then said in a threatening tone, "Forget what you just heard, or you will be worse off dead!"

The subordinates didn't hear anything. Lenny gave the Templar a cold glance again, and strode away.

However, as he left, the Templar stared at him with an even more eerie gaze, as if Lenny had become dead in his eyes......
