Blasphemy Chapter 12: Breaking the law
The carriage drove slowly, and the crisp sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels echoed in the wide and empty street.
It is late at night, and ordinary people have already fallen asleep. Lead clouds are accumulating in the sky, and it looks like there will be another heavy snowfall tomorrow. This winter, Richelieu noticed an unexpected cold. Before the New Year, the rivers in the city showed signs of freezing. There are many hot springs underground in Richelieu, and the ground is extremely warm. Therefore, the rivers in the city only freeze during the coldest days of the year. In the past few decades, the weather in the north has been getting warmer year by year, but this year it has become severely cold again.
Although the Silver Holy Cult has long since begun to decline, the family wealth accumulated over hundreds of years is still strong. The Ice and Snow Temple is still one of the most magnificent buildings in the imperial capital. The main hall, which is 50 meters high, is surrounded by more than ten buildings. A magic fountain. However, the fountain was not spraying water, but a cold air emitting dazzling white light. Under the reflection of the magic fountain, the Ice and Snow Temple is bathed in white light, which is particularly eye-catching in the night sky.
Rogg slowly stretched his hand up, and the sharp claws protruding from his fingertips inserted silently into the extremely hard snow rock. With a slight exertion, his body lifted upwards by one meter.
At this time, human voices were heard, and Rogge looked down. A group of patrolling ice warriors were passing below. However, none of these warriors glanced at the brightly illuminated Ice and Snow Temple. If you look at it, you will most likely find Rogge who has not used the invisibility spell.
The fat man smiled slightly and continued to climb up. He soon reached the top of the Ice and Snow Temple, and then disappeared into the bell tower. The door of the bell tower is locked, and there are several very clever magic traps set on the door, which even experienced magic thieves may not be able to solve.
But Rogge had his own ideas in choosing to enter here. He placed his hands on the ground and began to exert force, his hands gradually sinking into the granite floor. In a moment, Rogge had dug a big hole in the ground and jumped onto the spiral staircase on the next floor.
He moved silently in the Ice and Snow Temple. At this time, most of the priests and mages had already left the temple and went back to rest. Only occasionally a few devout priests who returned late would still walk around the temple.
Rogg was not familiar with the structure of the Ice and Snow Grand Temple, but in those silver eyes, there was a bright lighthouse guiding his direction.
Rogg felt that two ice and snow mages were approaching on their own in the horizontal corridor in front. He stood behind a statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess next to him and gathered his breath. At this moment, his figure is looming, but his aura has completely blended into the surrounding environment. Even if someone sees him, it is likely to be mistaken for a relief on the wall.
Two ice and snow mages came talking in low voices.
"Leila has only been a senior mage for three days, and she is so arrogant! I just asked her what the oracle of the Ice and Snow Goddess was this time, and she actually said that it was top secret and could not be revealed! Huh, what is it! Isn’t it because the magic power is a little higher than mine?” the female mage complained.
"That's right! She might actually regard herself as the designated servant of the Ice and Snow Goddess. She's as cold as ice. Besides, her magic power is a bit stronger, but looking at that flat figure, how can she compare with you? ?" There was a bit of obscenity in the male mage's voice.
"She has a pretty face. Are you attracted to her?" The female mage was a little jealous.
"How is that possible? You still have more flavor!"
They happened to pass by Rogge at this time, and they did not notice the fat man standing in the corridor next to him at all. The male mage's attention seemed to be entirely focused on the hand that was rubbing the female mage's ass. From Rogge's point of view, this female mage is tall, has long legs and round hips, and her body is really hot.
"The goddess has frequently shown miracles recently and has already sent down two oracles. Even I feel that it is much easier to control ice and snow magic recently. I think your magic power will improve soon." The male mage comforted .
"What's the use? Layla will definitely benefit more!" The female mage's complaint faded away.
"The goddess of ice and snow actually sent down two oracles? I remember that notebook incorrectly!" Rogge frowned. He ducked out from behind the statue and continued toward his goal.
Rogg's Lighthouse is located at the back of the temple, in the Magic Library of the Silver Holy Cult.
The library is brightly lit, and there are a dazzling array of magic books on several rows of bookshelves. The various magical auras emanating from the book mixed together and floated in the air.
Rockefeller was sitting behind a gorgeous yellow pear wood desk, carefully studying the magic notes in front of him. The great magician who wrote this note was his friend in his youth and was very talented. He always believed that studying the goddess herself was more important than studying ice and snow magic. Therefore, although his magic power is not as good as Rockefeller's, his insights in many fields are much deeper.
At this moment, the notes are placed in front of him, but his old friend has passed away, which makes Rockefeller sigh. But what he didn't know was that this notebook was a relic of his old friend and a beacon for Rogge.
I don’t know when in the library, snowflakes suddenly fell!
Rockefeller looked up and was shocked to see Roger's figure emerging from nothingness in the heavy snow. The fat man held a dagger in his hand and looked ferocious. He was no more than ten meters away from Rockefeller.
At this time, Rogge was extremely horrified and just stared behind Rockefeller!
Behind the Grand Magister stands a five-meter-tall statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess. At this moment, the statue's eyes lit up with white light, and a cold air emanated from its entire body. In an instant, the statue of the goddess seemed to have gained life. It was looking down at Rogge coldly!
At this moment, Rogge suddenly felt that he was alone on an endless ice field, with heavy snow flying in the sky and thousands of miles of glaciers beneath his feet. Between heaven and earth, a pair of cold eyes hung high. They were a pair of eyes that were aloof and unworldly.
Roger started to tremble. He wanted to kneel down and prostrate himself on the ground to express his humility and surrender. His body began to go numb, not only because of the drastic drop in temperature around him, but also because of the majesty.
Yes, majestic! The majesty that fills heaven and earth! The majesty that belongs only to God!
At this moment, Rogge already knew that what he saw was the eyes of God!
How can ordinary people stand in front of the true God? How many people will choose to stand?
Rogg swayed, finally knelt down on the ground, and then leaned down, facing the eyes of God in the sky.
Being bullied so close by Rogge, Rockefeller thought he would die, but when the snow started to fall, Rogge stood frozen on the spot, then staggered to his knees. He turned around suddenly and looked at the statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess with surprise and joy, bursting into tears for a while!
A miracle! How many years had he waited, and how many years had he persisted in his faith alone in the darkness, before he waited for the day when the goddess of ice and snow would perform her miracle again?
Rockefeller trembled and knelt down.
There were also two mages who studied ice and snow magic in the library. They also fell to the ground, trembling under the divine power.
Suddenly!
Rogg raised his head suddenly, and the silver light in his eyes instantly pierced the heavy snow and ice fields! He roared, rushed forward, and then waved his hand, and the dagger in his hand flew out, pierced Rockefeller's left shoulder, and flew out from his right rib!
The goddess was obviously furious at this outrageous offense. She opened her lips slightly and breathed out an extremely cold wind!
Wherever the breath of ice passed, all living things lost their power.
Rogge was instantly frozen in a flying posture, rolling endlessly until he smashed Rockefeller's luxurious writing desk into pieces! He couldn't feel the chill at all, only numbness! The numb feeling spread quickly and reached Rogge's chest in a moment.
He knew that the numb feeling was the result of the body being completely swallowed up by the cold. And under this cold air from God, even his soul cannot escape! He could even see that the movable parts of his body stopped one by one and solidified into ice!
Just when Rogge was about to devote all his soul power to deliver the final blow, the dormant power of the goddess of nature in his body suddenly swirled sharply, and the bright green color full of life expanded in an instant. Go to every part of Rogge's body, wrapping the cold divine power layer by layer. The surrounded ice-cold divine power suddenly shook violently, but the bright green was like water meeting a sponge, slowly but surely invading the interior of the ice-cold divine power, completely dyeing it green from the inside out!
In the moment before the icy divine power was completely turned green, Rogge seemed to hear a shrill cry, like the last cry of a creature before being devoured by a natural enemy!
In the blink of an eye, although Rogge was still unable to move, the coldness that invaded his body had been completely swallowed up by the power of the goddess of nature. The green color jumped a few times, as if it was still patrolling for other prey. After the search failed, it swept back like an ebbing tide, curling up in the depths of Rogge's soul, as if he was full and sleeping.
Roger suddenly felt a little creepy!
The statue of the Ice and Snow Goddess was extremely surprised and angry that Rogge, the blasphemer, was still alive. She slowly lowered her head, faced Rogge, and opened her lips again!
With a whoosh, a huge velvet blanket suddenly fell from the ceiling, covering the entire statue. The statue's breath of ice blew all over the carpet. The scarlet carpet quickly faded away from all its color, and then turned into a puff of ash with a bang.
Another large bucket of sticky paint poured down from the air, completely covering the upper body of the goddess statue, and the god's gaze disappeared. The flying snow in the library suddenly became sparse.
Rogg immediately found that he had regained his ability to move. He stepped back instantly, but instead of running away, he grabbed the Ice and Snow Mage who was still kneeling on the ground and threw him hard towards the head of the goddess statue! The fat man didn't care about the results at all. He appeared behind another ice mage like a ghost, kicked her **** the butt, and kicked her towards the head of the goddess statue! Rogge discovered that as long as the eyes of the goddess statue were blocked, the power of the Ice and Snow Goddess would not be released.
It's just that his movements are still a little slow.
The black demon lotus emerged from behind the statue of the goddess. Wella held the statue's throat with her right hand, put her left elbow on the back of the statue's head, and then suddenly exerted force. An invisible shock wave swept through the entire library at an indescribable speed. . Rogge's chest was hit hard and he was involuntarily thrown backwards.
With a soft click, the head of the goddess statue was broken by Wella's force and rolled to the ground! Wella immediately raised her hands high, and the Dragon Soul Battle Spear emerged in her hands. She shouted loudly and pierced the dragon soul war spear fiercely into the body of the goddess statue that had lost its head!
A faint gray shadow fell from the roof of the church. It turned out to be Hughes. Without saying a word, he drew out his rapier, and the sword light criss-crossed, instantly cutting the head of the goddess statue on the ground into dozens of small pieces.
"Let's go!" Hughes shouted, stretched out his hand, and pointed at a wall of the library. Rogge knew that the wall was the outer wall of the Great Temple, so without saying a word, a silver ripple formed in his palm, and he strode towards that wall!
Rogg rushed to the wall, put his hands against the wall, shouted, and an extremely strong silver light burst out from his palms! Amidst the rumbling sound, he actually made a big hole in the two-meter-thick outer wall made of huge rocks! Rogge's heart tightened and he was picked up by Hughes and fled out of the temple like a cloud and mist.
"Wait!" Rogge suddenly remembered that Feng Yue was still in the Ice and Snow Temple.
Xius seemed to know what he was thinking, and just said: "Master Fengyue can run much faster than you! If you don't believe it, just look!"
Roger looked up and saw the Demonic Lotus flashing in the distant sky for a moment, then disappearing into the night sky. At this time, Hughes let go of his hand and put Rogge to the ground, so the two foxes, an old one and a young one, fled towards Rogge's mansion like meteors flying by.
"Oops!" The two stopped almost at the same time.
"The soul-eating dagger is still in the temple!" Rogge was extremely heartbroken. After all, that dagger could barely be classified as an artifact.
What Hughes regretted was another thing: "I forgot to set a fire!"
They looked back at the great ice and snow temple that was still shining brightly under the night sky, and they all sighed. The goddess of ice and snow has already demonstrated living miracles, and returning to a place like the Great Temple of Ice and Snow, where the power of faith is concentrated, is tantamount to courting death.
Why did the goddess of ice and snow suddenly become so active after being dormant for decades? Rogge felt that his heart was starting to become gloomy. Originally, the Silver Holy Religion was already on the verge of collapse, and all Rogge was thinking about was how to destroy it without getting into trouble for himself. But now everything is different. Although Rockefeller is dead, a moving goddess is enough to rival several great magisters!
It was just when Rogge returned to the mansion and saw the groups of warriors ready to go, as well as Froya, who was covered in magic equipment and had more than ten magic scrolls on her waist, that she felt in her heart. Warmth, temporarily leaving all worries behind.
Early the next morning, Rogge packed up his appearance and entered the palace to meet the emperor.
At this day's meeting, all the ministers of the empire were present. First of all, the emperor naturally commended Rogge for his unparalleled military exploits. But Rogge has reached the end of his tenure as an official, and his territory is as large as the entire principality. There is really nothing to reward. Therefore, the emperor made an exception and allowed Rogge to add the dragon pattern to his coat of arms. In this way, the fat man's coat of arms represents the dragon of the imperial family. That’s it for the lion pattern.
This is the highest honor. When the reward was announced, Rogge looked stunned and all the officials were in an uproar!
It's just that the fat man pretended to be flattered and grateful on the surface, but he actually didn't take it seriously. Rogge is completely uninterested in whether future generations can enjoy eternal wealth and wealth in the Asrofic Empire. In this turbulent era, even if it is as powerful as Asrofic, there is no telling how many more years it can survive in the world.
In troubled times, Rogge was only interested in two things, one was the army and the other was gold coins. It's a pity that the emperor didn't give him either. I don't know whether the emperor really cherished him and was determined to fully share the glory of the imperial family with him, or he was too shrewd and was only willing to give away Rogge's reward with flashy things. Call over.
Rogg had already received advice before meeting the Emperor, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask the Emperor to consider personally going to the Free City of Hyrule to complete his unparalleled feat of seizing the seaport. Rogge also suggested that this expedition should be inevitable. Considering that the dwarf empire in the western frontier of the empire has been severely weakened, and only one of the ten surviving dwarves is compared to its heyday, there is no need to leave so many troops behind. The main force of the Glacier Legion is completely It can be transferred to the southeastern front, with Pompey commanding the forward, and Emperor and Alexander in the center. The imperial army can not only capture Hylar, but even completely occupy the west coast of Longines Sea.
After Rogge finished speaking, Alexander looked better.
If the imperial army can successfully occupy the Aegean Sea, then there will only be a virgin forest hundreds of kilometers wide between the forward and the border of the Dro Empire, one of the three empires. Rogge also suggested that when the weather is dry in winter, he could simply set a fire. It would take up to a month to burn a passage out of the forest.
The Emperor's face was flushed. Although he did not make a decision on the spot, he smiled very happily.
The next thing is that the Silver Holy Cult reported that the Ice and Snow Temple was attacked last night and Master Rockefeller was assassinated. Emperor Feuerbach obviously did not know the news, and was extremely angry when he heard this.
Rockefeller's blizzard magic is extremely powerful when combined with the Imperial Army, especially the Poseidon Army. Judging from the role he played on the battlefield alone, he even played a greater role than the three great magisters combined. At this moment, when the imperial army was about to march south, Rockefeller suddenly died suddenly. How could the emperor not be angry?
The person standing in the court of the Silver Holy Cult was the divine magician Jima. Rogge peeked at her and found that her magic power had basically recovered. It seems that after the Ice and Snow Goddess regained her powers, she, a magician, has indeed benefited a lot. The fat man originally thought that Gemma was already a waste, so he only set his target on Rockefeller. At this moment, he couldn't help but regret it.
The ice and snow mage behind Ji Ma ordered him to hold a brocade box. After the box lid was opened, there was a dagger inside that exuded a feeling of irritation and uneasiness. It was the soul-eating dagger that Rogge lost.
"This is it?" The emperor looked at the dagger and asked in confusion.
"This is the weapon that killed Master Rockefeller, the soul-eating dagger!" Master Jima said.
An old man in robes came up behind the emperor and whispered in the emperor's ear for a while. Although Rogge was mentally prepared, he still felt a little guilty. He kept a humble and indifferent expression while eavesdropping with his ears. I heard that he was explaining the function and origin of the soul-eating dagger. It seems that this is a learned mage.
There are only a few artifacts in the world, and although the Soul-Eating Dagger is not powerful, it is known for its evil abilities. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the empire, and there are countless talented people. At least Master Jima of the Silver Holy Cult knew that the soul-eating dagger fell into the hands of the great druid of the south, Endless Ocean.
So everything has a reasonable explanation. The Druid who failed in the rebellion was unwilling to fail and came back to assassinate Master Rockefeller of the Holy Religion. Next, it is only natural that Druids be wanted throughout the empire.
The situation took a turn for the worse and Rogge was not prepared for it. The originally prepared response plan was actually useless, and he succeeded in achieving the ideal goal. However, he was still very heartbroken to use an artifact dagger to frame the Druid.
Even Fatty himself felt that the ending was such a coincidence. Maybe some big demon had taken a fancy to him again, or the God of Darkness was favoring him. However, thinking of the miracles of the Ice and Snow Goddess and the strange changes in the wrath of the Goddess of Nature, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
After the court meeting, a large number of officials began to give Rogge their name tags, hoping to visit the invincible Prince Rogge, take up his precious few minutes, and listen to his teachings. To Rogge's surprise, there were many powerful imperial officials among them. Many ladies from the imperial capital also expressed that they would bring their daughters or nieces to visit. It would be even better if Mr. Rogge was willing to accept the invitation to a private banquet.
Seeing the pile of invitations, Rogge couldn't help but groan. However, these gatherings and entertainment are also an important part of forming parties for selfish purposes and cultivating one's own power. Which is more important, the struggle for secular power or the struggle for divine power?
In today's imperial political arena, Alexander and Pompeo control almost all the elite troops of the empire. Their strength and personal reputation are at their peak, and they are naturally the most powerful force. Prime Minister Straw was very aware of current affairs. Although the last political battle failed, he was still not injured and his power was still pressing. The emperor and the old steward have sat back and watched the heroes fight internally and externally for many years without falling. Maybe they are the ones who can control the overall situation of the empire. No matter which one of these three forces, they are much stronger than Rogge. Rogge's most valuable assets are the goddess and many strong men. Unfortunately, almost none of these people are willing to obey his orders.
The largest supporters of the Silver Holy Religion currently come from Alexander and Pompey. Straw has many enemies with the Holy Religion, and the movement of the Imperial Palace is unknown.
When thinking of Straw, Rogge couldn't help but secretly hate that the Cassinaras dagger was destroyed by the wrath of the sky before he died. If the dagger was still there, he could soak it in holy water for a while every day. Although Cassinaras is just a projection of the demon lord, it is also extremely powerful, and the possibility of tearing apart space in a rage is very high. What's more, even if he lacks strength, Rogge can still kill a few more people with this dagger to supplement the demon lord's projection. As long as the Abyss Demon appears in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Straw will be finished.
Rogg kept thinking about the political situation of the empire in the study, while Robosky and Mei were busy sorting out invitations for him. Rogge also admired Mei's willpower. She could still work as usual.
Mei suddenly raised her head, then lowered her head again and continued the work at hand. After a while, Roboski also raised his head in shock and said to Rogge: "Sir! Someone has sneaked in! Is there such a stupid thief in the imperial capital?"
In addition to being timid, Robosky has excellent abilities in other areas. At this time, he has reached the point where he can hear secrets and also knows about the powerful people behind Rogge. In his opinion, Rogge's mansion is simply an abyss world at this moment. Even if the Star Sword Master Prosis comes in person, there will probably be no return. Who is this thief? He can even detect his whereabouts, but he dares to hide all the way to Rogge's study?
The stupid thief is equipped with rare and powerful magic items, but the problem lies here. He does not know how to conceal the aura of these equipments. In this Rogge Mansion where there are so many powerful people, it is as if he is trying to sneak in the dark night, but his body is covered with torches. He is as eye-catching as he wants. However, even if he doesn't use magic equipment, the strange aura he exudes will make him a beacon.
Roger looked strange and said: "Here comes someone, prepare some tea!"
A moment later, the window of Rogge's study opened quietly, and a slim figure jumped in, chuckling: "Rogge! You are known to be surrounded by strong men, but the defense at home is not very good!"
Before she finished speaking, she was shocked to find that everyone in the room was looking at her, with strange faces, and it was very difficult to hold back laughter. Rogge was sitting on the sofa, with two cups of hot tea on the table in front of him, obviously prepared for her.
"You...you have known this for a long time?" The girl's face suddenly turned red, as beautiful as a hibiscus, and the heavy frustration made her eyes red, and her aggrieved expression was endearing. Without saying a word, she walked to Roger and sat down, grabbed the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Roger smiled and said: "Miss Serena, why are you in such a good mood today that you want to come to my place?"
The other infiltrator, Su, was far less lucky than Serena. She already knew the layout of Rogge's mansion well, and even remembered the layout of the sewers clearly. The reason why she infiltrated with Serena was not to protect her sister, but to see if she could find out any secrets from Rogge while she was attracting others' attention.
Not long after she entered the back garden and sneaked in, she suddenly stopped. Not far ahead, there is an elegant old elf who is sipping tea and reading at night. Su was shocked, she couldn't feel the old man's breath at all! If he hadn't lit the lamp, it was very likely that Su would have bumped into him and only then discovered his presence.
Su quietly broke into a cold sweat and backed away very slowly. Fortunately, the old man was completely immersed in the world of the book and did not notice her. However, the sound of boots suddenly sounded from behind her without any warning, hitting Su's tense nerves and almost making her scream out of fear. Su couldn't dodge in time and saw a big tree beside the garden path. He quickly dodged past it with a ghostly movement, clinging to the tree trunk and completely melting into the shadow.
A swordsman with an almost eerie appearance walked past Su, less than one meter away from her. The swordsman suddenly raised his head to the sky, looked at the lead clouds in the sky, stretched out his hand to support the tree, and sighed again, it seemed there was endless desolation.
Su was completely desperate.
The place where the swordsman held his hand was her breasts. Although she had a corset, the feel was still very different from that of tree bark. But the swordsman seemed to be just immersed in his own emotions, vigorously patted the tree trunk where he thought he was, shook his head, and left.
As soon as Su Jingxun calmed down, he immediately decided to evacuate. However, it is easier to sneak in than to get out. The only safe way out at this time is to sneak through the shadows under a row of windows. Su tapped the ground with her fingertips and toes, moving as silently as a newt. Dive through this row of windows, and you will see the outer wall ahead.
The window above his head suddenly opened, and Su immediately stopped all movements.
A very pleasant voice sighed faintly: "Alas, we failed again!" Then with a crash, a basin of water exuding a strong pungent smell was poured over Su's head, drenching Su's head and body, and then the window banged. , and closed it tightly.
Su wants to cry.
This turned out to be a pot of magic potion, extremely powerful, containing countless negative effects such as weakness, curse, fatigue, paralysis, confusion, madness and other attacks. This is considered a failed potion, so what should be successful?
Su couldn't move. Fortunately, her willpower was extremely strong and she managed to survive the mental effects such as chaos and madness. Then she waited for the paralysis effect to wear off, and then covered her whereabouts.
Su, who was hit by several curses, gritted his teeth and endured the last leg of the journey ~IndoMTL.com~ He jumped up quietly, trying to jump out of the outer wall. But the beautiful demon lotus suddenly appeared where she landed. With a bang, Su was knocked dizzy and fell back into the courtyard.
Then the sky in front of her suddenly darkened, and then an unparalleled force fell on her like a mountain. Su only felt that a whole mountain was pressing on him, and there were several clicks, and two ribs were broken. Su couldn't bear it any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Gregory, did I hit something just now?" A majestic, cold and arrogant voice.
"Master of the greatest beauty and wisdom, of course you don't. But I seem to have stepped on something." This was a low and majestic dragon roar. "It seems that they are lazy servants who did not clean up the garbage properly. Your Highness should let the prince talk about them..."
Su understands dragon language.
"What the hell! We should go!"
"As you command, Master!"
Su watched the giant dragon soar into the sky and dive into the clouds. She said nothing, endured the pain, and used her last strength to escape from Rogge's house in a hurry.
