Volume 2 The Cry of the Outcasts Chapter 21 The Emergence of a New God
The cell was apparently converted from a grain cellar in the cellar, and wheat flour scattered on the floor could be seen in the corner.
The cell is not large, it seems that it can only hold about ten people, but it ...... It's full of torture instruments that can only be found in Roman prisons!
Listen to the man named Claire lying on the ground, the man who stood beside him, stepped on his feet, and seemed to be a priest?
And hearing the conversation between the two just now, Will found that they seemed to have known each other once, and the man named Caishiro, who was now obviously on the side of the violence, seemed to be the same as Claire, who had been a subordinate of the Roman Emperor Caligula.
Will pressed against the wall, holding his breath, and coldly continued to observe the two in the cell.
Will knew that the people of the Roman Senate had long been in collusion with the Holy See, so it was not surprising that Caligula's men would mutiny.
However, Will's purpose in coming here was not to investigate what the Holy See would do, but to deal with the die-hard Caligula loyalists in this place, in order to increase the weight of his father Richard under Caligula.
So, Will tightened his grip on the splitting wind, and prepared to talk to the two of them, and at the same time it turned out that they - Will also did not have a good impression of the people of the Holy See.
However, Cahiro's next words made him stop his action.
"My friend, you never know how extravagant the Roman Emperor was! Only with the forgiveness of the true Lord can we have a chance to ascend to heaven! God will soon punish this world, from which all the people in the world will not escape, and only His followers will be able to survive under the new world He has created. I know that we were all orphans adopted by that sinner of Caligula, but we must not betray the truth because of his kindness to us!" Cahiro's eyes were filled with madness, and as he said these words, his feet involuntarily tightened, and Claire's breathing became more difficult.
Realizing that this would kill him, Cahiro sighed, let go of his foot, and then crouched down, looking at Claire with a sympathetic look in his eyes.
"Claire, my former brother, we have been trained by the Emperor together, and we have all fought side by side together...... I really can't bear to kill you. Tell me the whereabouts of the Emperor, listen, believe me, as long as you tell me his whereabouts, I can guarantee you, and your family's safety. ”
"Cahiro...... My former brother. I don't know what blinded you, and what you say is that God will punish the world...... Is the punishment he is talking about to incite the citizens to riot? If it were all that, I would look down on him!"
"You'd better show respect, Claire...... I really don't want to hurt you. Now that the situation on the continent is clear, the Kingdom Alliance has adopted the Neothephism as the state religion, and the Carthaginians in the south are also under the influence of our followers, cooperating with our actions, as long as Rome submits to the feet of the new gods, then after that, the world will also smoothly submit to the feet of the new gods!"
"This is not a reason for you to betray the Emperor...... Nor is it a reason for you to betray us...... My brother, you have killed them, now do to know me, I don't want to live alone...... And, I don't really know where the emperor went. I'm not interested in you or your plans at all, and I don't want to live in the new world he has created...... You've ruined all my ...... My brother ......"
Claire...... Why are you so stubborn...... Even a man as resilient as Richard, the new leader of the Holy Family, has fallen to his knees at the feet of our new gods, vowing to spread the teachings of Christianity to every corner of the continent...... You know what? He's really like an obedient dog right now, at our disposal...... And the fact that we are all dogs, dogs of God...... But what you don't know is that all human beings have always been dogs of the gods, from time immemorial to the present...... And only dogs deserve to be alive......"
There was a little more embarrassment on Cahiro's face, and he shook his head, turning his back with some trepidation.
"I'll ask you one last time, my brother, will you tell me the whereabouts of the Emperor?"
"No, my brother. ”
"Then you go and accompany our other brothers......"
"In that case...... I would love to and hope you come and accompany us as soon as possible......"
"I'm sorry, brother...... You're the last ......."
Caishiro's eyes suddenly turned crimson, and then, as if he had lost his mind, he frantically shouted "Lord, forgive him!"
Then his hands were raised in the air, as if embracing something.
Just as Will was puzzled, a holy flame suddenly appeared on the ground, devouring Claire lying on the ground!
Will's pupils shrank, and he saw the breath of the gods in that holy flame!
Claire struggled frantically in this holy flame, Will closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly, and his eyes, which were originally dark and shiny, had turned dark gold.
Yes, he opened the Pupil of Polya.
With the blessing of the pupil of Polya, he "saw" the majestic divine power in that flame of light, and this divine power was conscious!
That's impossible!
Under the influence of his father, Richard, consciously or unconsciously, Will read books about the gods.
In those books, powerful gods can bestow some divine powers on believers, some of which can make people strong, some can give wisdom to man, and some can cause people to get sick......
However, those divine powers can only be used in certain circumstances, and they last for a short time!
According to the book, the gifts of the gods can only be obtained by offering sacrifices in the temple where they are enshrined.
And the gift is divine power......
The reason why sacrifices must be made in the temple is not because of the greed and laziness of the gods, but simply because the passage connecting their divine kingdom and the human world must be protected by a strong and stable force.
And this power is the sacrifice......
However, the divine power summoned by Caishiro was too casual...... It's like ...... It can be anywhere at any time!
Will hurriedly closed his eyes in horror, the hairs on his body almost stood up, and he restrained his breath again, lest he alarm that trace of divine power!
Because, he felt his prying eyes, as if he was perceived by some terrible being!
"Caishiro, my servant. I hope you summoned me because I got useful information...... Say, where is the emperor?"
A low, but majestic, voice suddenly appeared in the cell. Will held his breath, he didn't even have the courage to lean over and look in!
"I'm sorry my master, I let you down...... The Roman Emperor Caligula disappeared from the group, and his men refused to reveal anything about his whereabouts. ”
"Oh, yes? His escape surprised me...... The veterans in the nursing home didn't even know how and when he got away...... In short, I am not going to blame you for this plague...... You're doing a great job. ”
"Your kindness and wisdom are incomparable, my master! What are you going to do with that vampire of Gloa, do you really intend for him to live with us in a new world......?
"No, he's going to run out soon...... Rest assured, my servant, after sweeping the rotten old gods into the dust of history, you will be at the top of this continent...... Pope!"
"O my lord, thy grace is as vast as the sea......"
Caishiro's praise came one after another, but Will did not dare to make any rash moves, for fear that he would be discovered.
"By the way, master, there is one more thing I want to tell you......"
"Don't hide it like that, my servant...... But I hope you'll tell me valuable information!"
"Two legendary legions stationed in the city of Rome have suddenly disappeared...... My men have gone out to investigate, but still haven't found any leads. ”
"Hmm...... This should be the work of the old gods. Just now, I sensed that someone was spying on me, but before I could find his location, he was the first to disappear. ”
"Oh?"
Cahiro's voice was full of doubt, and Will heard the sound of his ornate priest's robe rubbing, he must have turned to observe his surroundings.
"There's no one else here, master. ”
"Hmm...... He may have been observing me in the void...... Caishiro, I hope you can evacuate Rome as soon as possible...... I always felt like something was going to happen here...... Accidentally. ”
"Accident, under your eyes as hot as the dawn sun, no conspiracy can escape your observation!"
“...... Cahiro, my servant. Let's go to the territory of the orcs in the west, when I was playing with the gods of Rome, the group of orcs seemed to be a little restless...... I want you to go there, gather new cultists, and infiltrate the orc faith, understand?"
“...... Yes, my lord. ”
In the end, Cahiro's voice clearly revealed a little unwillingness, although this unwillingness was very deep.
Obviously, the god cares more about someone denying his ideas than about caring......
At this time, Will only felt a sense of relief, because the "master" in Caishiro's mouth had disappeared.
After this, Will let out a calm breath and carefully resumed his breath - he didn't know if the god was gone.
And from the conversation just now, he could know that those people he was supposed to solve seemed to have been solved by Caihiro first?
And...... Like such a powerful deity that doesn't seem to have discovered what his father has done these days?
