Chapter 196 Mountain rain is coming

In the empty area where the holy mountain borders the river, a hundred strict Templar knights are still guarding here, in fact, for these noble knights, it is a good thing for them to fall into these noisy crowds as the administrator of the order, but they can't disobey the orders of the presiding judge, they can only watch over this place with a little passivity, and their eyes scan the black oppressive crowd that is separated with a little contempt.

"Cheer up!" Seeing that these knights were a little lazy, the chief knight immediately scolded, the other knights didn't know the importance of this place, but the chief knight knew that those who tried to sabotage and disrupt this sacrificial ritual were likely to rush up to the holy mountain from this direction, after all, this was the closest location to the Star Tower.

In the past, when the temple held a great sacrifice, there were also many heretics who had mixed in with the people to do some radical acts to slander the temple and even achieve the purpose of interfering with the sacrifice, but most of these were rabble, and it was impossible for them to make waves in the heavily guarded holy mountain.

This year, however, was noticeably different, as the temple had placed almost all of its forces in every corner of the mountain, and it seemed that an even more powerful force was already guessing that it would attack the mountain.

The most ornate ceremony will take place at the moment when the sun sets, and the purple energy crystals that are neatly stacked on the sacrificial altar will glitter in the midday sun.

Now Gaia has been able to affirm the connection between the six Holy Sees and the Six Elemental Altars, and it is obvious that the Rosa Temple corresponds to the Thunder Altar, and these purple energy crystals will definitely be transferred to the distant Thunder Altar through sacrifice, and used to maintain the six-pointed star magic array in the center of the continent.

At noon, most of the people were already present, except for some authoritative figures, and on this day, no one was allowed to eat any food as long as they believed in the spirit of Rosa, and as for those who were invited, although the temple did not stipulate it, they would also respect the temple of Rosa, and abide by this rule as any other believer.

When Pope Fama ascended to the high astrological platform, these people gathered on this huge platform fell down one after another, shouting loudly, and under the holy mountain, all the low-level believers also knelt and bowed under the instructions of the priest, regardless of the mud and grass under their feet, even if they did not see the Pope's figure, they could not stand so calmly.

The grandeur of the scene makes people feel a kind of suffocation, this great sacrifice in the summer season once every twenty years, is the most solemn ceremony of the temple, no matter how much this temple has over the years, how smoky and miasma, its influence in Zacharia is still incomparable, you know, at the foot of the holy mountain, because of this ritual there are millions of people who come to pray for blessings, I am afraid that even the war cannot reach this scale.

Gaia watched coldly, perhaps on the entire huge platform, he was the only one who did not salute the high-ranking pope. Until now, the protagonist of this ritual, Sanlif, has not appeared on this crowded astrological platform, so Gaia has not taken any action.

Finally, not long after the appearance of Pope Fama, the Pandeger, who was always dressed in the ornate bishop's robe, also appeared on the astrological platform overlooking everyone, this sanctimonious fellow with a seemingly gentle smile, but there was a smug look in his eyes that could not be concealed. Twenty years ago, when Pandeg was still vicarious, he could only stand on the lower level of the astrological platform, and there was even a flame covering his face, which made the arrogant fellow extremely angry.

But now, at last, he was at the top of his life, able to have more than 100,000 high-ranking people look up to him, and to be able to preside over the greatest ceremony of the temple himself, so that the bishop thought that everything he had done before was worth it, because this feeling of constantly climbing to the top of the mountain made Pandeg feel like he had ascended to heaven.

Smiling and composed, that's what Pandegue kept telling himself, because the bishop feared that his over-excitement would be revealed for others to see. Fortunately, the bishop, who likes to play tricks behind his back, still has his own city, and when the service is over, the bishop's gentle smile gradually returns to seriousness and concentration.

But the adjutant next to him stepped forward and whispered something to him, which made his expression stiffen.

"Lord Bishop, I'm afraid the Inquisition has all been killed!"

When the bishop's lieutenant had finished the salute, he walked up to the bishop and spoke very quietly. It had been a long time since the Inquisition had lost contact with the Temple, and they thought they were arresting the fugitive Gaia, but there had been no response for a long time, so Pandeg immediately sent someone to the village of Matu to check on it.

And not long ago, the exact news of the death of all the judges came back here, and the bishop's adjutant did not dare to slack off on such a important matter, and immediately informed Bishop Pandeger.

There was a noticeable twitch on Pandeger's emaciated face, the Inquisition had always been the power of the authority of the Rosa Temple, and such a team that could almost kill any master in the Eden Continent was all killed!

The death of the three Sword Saints was already an irreparable loss for the entire Rosa Temple, and even the twenty Great Magus who could release a powerful binding array that the Temple had painstakingly cultivated had actually all died, and this news was indeed a bit unbearable for the Bishop.

Pandeg was still on the astrological platform, two meters away from the Pope, but in order to maintain his lofty appearance and suppress the anger in his heart, the expression on his face at this time was very strange.

The priest in the white gauze skirt began to sing beautifully after the ceremony, and when most of the attention fell on these pure female priests, Pandeg slowly walked down the astrological platform, his emaciated face full of irrepressible anger, and roared at the adjutant: "You repeat it again, are you sure you are not mistaken!

The adjutant was stunned by the bishop's aggressive momentum, and after a few seconds of stunnedness, he replied carefully: "Your Excellency...... Their bodies have been brought back and are now placed in the apse of the trial, where several priests are sewing their bodies together......"

The adjutant noticed that the expression on the bishop's face was already a little hideous, and he did not dare to continue, the inquisition was indeed dead, and even the corpse was a little incomplete.

"Have you found out the reason!" Pandege tried to calm himself down, after all, he still had to preside over this solemn ceremony in good spirits.

"They followed your instructions and lay in ambush near the village of Matu, and the subordinates guessed that they had met Gaia and fought with him, because the local residents had said that there was a violent tremor in the mountains...... And then," the adjutant reported in horror, for he had sensed that Pandeger's anger was still not well controlled.

"What nonsense! How could a dignified jury not even be able to deal with a little hairy child, and not even a single one survived!" said Pandege angrily.

"Perhaps...... Maybe he has some powerful helper by his side...... "The adjutant broke out in a cold sweat, this bishop who is inconsistent with the outside is indeed too difficult to serve, and it is not his fault that the injudicate team is all killed, it was the bishop himself who sent them to arrest Gaia and sent them to ambush in Matu Village, but now it seems that he, the adjutant, has done something wrong.

Pandeger's face was gloomy, and it took a long time before he said to the adjutant: "You go down first, don't bother me again if there is nothing else important." ”

The adjutant breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly made a salute, and left this astrological platform.

After the priest's collective chanting, the goddess began to scatter holy water in various places on the star platform, the holy water was taken from the holy lake, and these pure water dew were naturally collected in advance, if it was the holy water collected today, it would definitely be blood water, because the holy lake has now turned into a red pool of blood.

The holy water is evenly sprinkled on the platform of the stars drop by drop through the magic of the water system, and the dew appears crystal clear under the imprint of various rays, like pearls falling.

The sun had begun to tilt to the west, and the whole ritual process of the temple could be described as exactly what happened, when the light of the scorching sun fell on the high cross in the center of the sacrificial magic array, thousands of towering pillars of holy fire were ignited at the same time, and the raging flames burned at the top of the clouds, connecting into the most gorgeous flame pattern, and the magnificent symbol of glory of the temple of Rosa was imprinted in the clouds above the holy mountain with the beam of flames.

Pandeg had already adjusted his mood and stood on the astrological platform, and the flame was imprinted on his old face, which made the bishop's heart gradually relax a little, but it was not long before the lieutenant came to his side again.

"Didn't you tell you not to bother me if there was nothing special!" Pandege was already visibly angry, if it wasn't for the public eye, I'm afraid he would have directly punished this adjutant who always appeared at an inopportune time.

A cold sweat broke out on the adjutant's forehead again, if he could not come, the adjutant would never have come to the bishop to ask for trouble, but the so-called special thing had indeed happened, and he said to Pandeg with trepidation: "There are already heretics in the river region separated by a hundred Templar Knights......"

"Do you have to deal with such a trivial matter myself!" said Pandeg angrily, and of course he deliberately turned his face away before he drank angrily, because he wanted to maintain the most respectable image in front of everyone.

The adjutant shuddered, then said in a voice that was almost inaudible to him, "A hundred Templars have died tragically......

"What did you say?" asked Pandegar, who didn't quite know what the guy was saying, seriously.

"The hundred Templars guarding there have died tragically!" the adjutant dared to speak out at this time.

Pendeger's face changed again, and although he had already guessed that some heretics would blend into the crowd and cause trouble, he would never have imagined that a hundred Templars would be killed without even realizing it.

"Send more men immediately, and report to me what!!" Pandeg was already angry at the fact that all the judges had been killed, and now that the hundred Templars guarding such a key position had all died, it was already difficult for Pandeg to control his emotions.

"Pandeger. At this time, the pope, who was standing in the center of the astrological platform, said, and then sent his voice into the ears of the bishop, "Control your emotions. ”

Pandege was indeed a little out of control just now, but fortunately most people's attention was not always on the astrological platform when the flame was lit, and he took a few deep breaths at the moment, glared at the adjutant, and told him to do it immediately.

But not long after the adjutant left, an inquisitor walked up to the presiding judge, Longgol, and whispered to Longgol, who, after a slight rotation of his gaze, slowly walked up to Bishop Pandeger, and whispered, "There are rioters in all areas...... There were also many masters among the rioters. ”

"First let your people assign various positions, don't let them easily blend into the temple, and send some magicians from the priest's hall to the high places of the temple, keep an eye on the entire holy mountain, and once you find anything abnormal, you will attack immediately, and you don't need to report it. Pandeg calmed down, and then instructed the presiding judge.

"I'm afraid there were some heretics mixed in with the guest seats. Presiding Judge Longol said.

"Pay more attention to the people of the royal empire, the behavior of the royal family has been a little abnormal recently, and there may be some people with intentions in it. Pandeg said. Although the temple knows that the royal empire can be said to be renewed, it does not know that the empire has actually been controlled by a strange force, and the mastermind behind the scenes has hidden himself very well, without letting the temple have too much awareness.

Of course, for the Temple, who controls the empire is not really important, as long as it is Zachariah, the people of this territory will believe in the Holy See of Rosa, and the ownership of the throne is not their concern.

"Well, I'll send someone over......," the presiding judge said, then glanced at Pandeger, and said, "You already know about the jury, how do you think, could it be that the kid killed all twenty-three people, if that's the case......"

"He must have used the power of the fetish. If the jury was really killed by Gaia, Pandeg could only come to this conclusion, because with the strength of the jury, it would never be so easy to kill them all.

"So will he be here today...... presiding judge.

"Hmph, if he dares to appear, he will definitely be broken into pieces, even if he has a divine object on him, what can he do, he and Shanliv can be sacrificed together, and then the two divine objects will be ours!" Pandege laughed evilly. His grudge against Gaia has reached its extreme, because Gaia's actions three years ago have made him lose face as a bishop!
