I am God Chapter 178: : A stage for ambitious and madmen
Sky Temple.
Anhofus was packing up his things, and huge skeleton puppets were kneeling in the temple.
They carried huge bone frames on their backs, which contained large boxes.
The box is full of various books, secret books, ceremonial slabs, sacrifice materials, etc., which are the things that Anhofus has saved after being a priest serving the gods for so long.
There are not many things.
But each of them is a treasure that can definitely cause turmoil when it is exiled.
Boom!
Boom!
Under the watchful eyes of Anhofus, the skeleton puppet left the Sky Temple, walked around the city wall outside the City of the Servant, and walked down from the main road. On the road, you can see many clovermen pushing trailers. But they were not too surprised to see the skeleton puppet.
On this road, you can often see third-level curse-sealed priests using their curse-sealed spirits to quickly and massively transport themselves and things that belong to the sky temple or the palace.
Anjofus looked at his mansion.
The scattered piles of scrolls, dense bookshelves and mysterious objects in the past have disappeared, leaving only gorgeous and luxurious decorations.
Same as when he first came.
"A few years have passed in a flash."
He is preparing to leave.
Anhofus has become a fourth-rank priest of grace, and this place will not help him anymore, at least it will not help him with what he wants to do.
What he wants next is beyond what manpower and material resources can accomplish.
He did not create the cyborg he had envisioned, the perfect **** form.
Just got an unknown magical prop.
He doesn't know what's wrong, but he's ready to go on a quest to find the secret of immortality.
Anhofus looked at the prosperous capital, as well as the cities and villages at the foot of the mountain.
"This place."
"Too noisy."
More importantly.
He was a little tired of gathering with these high and powerful Sheinsays, they were two kinds of people.
At this time, someone arrived at Anhofus' mansion, and the hall was full of people.
He is the attendant of the king of Xiyin Sai, with the guards of the royal court.
They sent a scroll, along with clothes and a silver crown.
"Master Serving Priest, the date has been set."
"And the king also decided to wear this sky crown for you on that day, under the witness of everyone."
"Become the new sky priest.
The attendant lowered his head, not daring to look at Anhofus.
Anhofus took the scroll and took a look before remembering something.
"Wedding date?"
"Oh! There's another thing."
As if he just realized it, Anhofus asked casually.
"Why so urgent?"
Attendant: "It was ordered by His Majesty."
It's a bit sudden, but it's understandable.
After all, Anhofus has become a fourth-rank priest of grace, and His Majesty the King seems a little impatient to tie him to himself and the royal family.
But it doesn't matter now, he is not going to stay anyway.
He picked up the silver crown, looked at it and threw it aside.
He let out a chuckle: "The priest of the sky."
However.
When the skeleton puppet sent the things to the auxiliary city at the foot of the mountain, but did not see the leader of the Stone Demon Merchant Group, Anhofus felt a little strange.
"Can't find it?"
The deputy of the merchant group knelt in front of Anhofus, saying that the head of the merchant group had been away for a while, and that he was going to a city in the north to handle affairs.
After receiving the order from Anhofus, he kept contacting him, but he couldn't find anyone.
Ask the people in the business group branch over there, and say that they haven't seen the other party coming at all recently.
"Leave at this time, and you can't get in touch at all?"
Anchofoss usually would not contact people from the Stone Demon Merchant Group at all, as long as the Stone Demon Merchant Group delivered what he needed on time, he would usually never ask about these details.
For him, the Stone Demon Merchant Group is a tool for him to collect experimental materials and provide supplies.
The last time he conducted an artificial human experiment was the first time he contacted the Stone Demon Merchant Group in recent years.
It's just that his servant is the master of the majestic Stone Demon Merchant Group, and controls one of the top-level merchant groups in Xiyinsai.
Ordinary business running and various affairs do not need the owner of the business group to do it at all. What needs him to go to a city thousands of miles away?
Also completely severed contact with the capital.
This servant of his is his confidant who came to the capital from the border with him, and has been by his side from the very beginning.
Knows many of his secrets.
His evil mage identity, his true name of Anhofus.
Especially recently, he had just completed an experiment on immortality and taboos in front of this servant.
"Interesting."
Anjofus suddenly had a premonition, and suddenly looked in the direction of the palace.
The hub of the commercial road from the holy mountain to the city of the gods.
Cross City.
In a secret stone building and small courtyard, the leader of the Stone Demon Merchant Group hid here recently.
He walked around the room anxiously, looking a little panicked.
"Ah!"
"Hoo!"
He sometimes sat up and sometimes sat down, sighing and exhaling from his mouth.
"Anjofus is so powerful, why did I lose my head and sell him?"
"If you don't betray him, what can you do? Do you want to defy the king of Heinsay? Isn't that death?"
Turning around, his expression became hot again.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Are you going to be someone else's slave for the rest of your life?"
"Does Anhofus care about you? He just treats you as a tool."
"How long has he been a priest serving the gods? You haven't obtained a real noble status, don't you understand? He doesn't want to become a nobleman and a bureaucrat."
"He just regards you as a tool to obtain materials, he only needs a servant who will do chores for him honestly."
The head of the business group seemed a little nervous.
He felt a strong sense of unease after betraying Anhofus, and he even guessed that the king might be about to attack Anhofus soon.
He's here to hide from the limelight, ready to return when it's all over.
He was extremely flustered and uneasy, but also full of expectations and excitement.
It was his master, the powerful, terrifying, and mysterious evil mage who brought him panic and uneasiness, who changed from the notorious fire demon Haru's student to the existence of the God Attendant Priest of the Sky Temple.
What he was expecting was that the king had promised him a title, as well as a position of real power in the capital.
He will get rid of his identity as a merchant and a servant, and truly become the upper class figure of the Heinsay Empire.
He is here to keep an eye on the news from the capital all the time.
If everything is settled as expected, he will immediately return to the capital and take over the power left by his master Anhofus.
If his master is not dead, he immediately begins to prepare for his life.
"Dinner is ready." There was a knock on the door outside.
"Send it in!" The head of the business group sat down again.
However, as soon as dinner began, suddenly the stone slabs on the ground began to vibrate, as if the whole house was shaking.
Next.
Bones squeezed in from various gaps, on the walls, in the murals, and in the windows.
Finally.
They combined into a two-meter-tall skeleton puppet, looked at the head of the merchant group in a high-ranking and oppressive posture, and frightened him to the ground.
The head of the business group was so frightened that he wanted to run away, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only climb into the corner and look at the skeleton puppet.
"Who are you?"
The skeleton puppet said, "How long has it been, have you even forgotten your master?"
The face of the leader of the Stone Demon Merchant Group changed drastically. He was clearly filled with fear, but he still acted reflexively as if nothing had happened.
"Master"
"So you are here."
The leader of the Stone Demon Merchant Group trembled. He crawled on the ground like a pug, feeling extremely terrified and lucky at the same time.
Luckily looking forward to, what I have done has not been discovered by Anhofus.
This feeling.
It's like a thief who is stealing things is blocked by the owner, and then he thinks that the owner can't see him if he covers his face.
Anjofus looked at his servant and couldn't help laughing.
My own servant!
In normal times, he looks smart and well-arranged, but when it comes to life and death, he is so stupid.
"My faithful servant, you run so fast!"
"What the **** did you do? Make you want to run so eagerly?"
The skeleton puppet bent down and looked sideways at the lowered and trembling head of the head of the merchant group.
"Maybe."
"What did you do to betray me?"
This sentence made the head of the Stone Demon Merchant Group shiver all over his body.
The servant's reaction gave Anhofus the answer.
Although he had guessed it before he came.
"In this world, there are not many people who can make you betray me."
"Just two."
"Is it Lan En, the sage of the Temple of Truth?"
As soon as he said the name, Anhofus immediately categorically abandoned the answer.
"No, how can such a despicable person like you come into contact with such a person."
"Then, there is only our great king of Heinsay?"
When talking about the word great, Anhofus's voice seemed to be mocking and joking.
"Really?"
Skeleton puppets have no expression, let alone eyeballs.
But the servant has already seen Anhoefus's familiar smile, and that smile with a classical aristocratic expression reflected in his heart, making him feel more terrifying than the roar of a troll.
The servant's voice broke in an instant, and he already had a premonition of his end.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"Master."
"I am loyal and you trust me."
Before he finished speaking, Anhofus stretched out his hand and pressed it on his head little by little.
The servant couldn't move at all, but his terrified eyes and dilated pupils all proved how desperate he was.
"Hush!"
"You don't need to tell me, I can see it myself."
Everything he did, the picture of his conversation with His Majesty the King, all fell into the eyes of Anhofus.
In front of a powerful man like Anhofus, lies and deceit are extremely ridiculous, unless he doesn't pay attention to you, as long as he pays attention to you, he can dig out the darkness and secrets in the deepest part of your heart.
Anhofus didn't show any angry expression after reading it, and his tone didn't change.
Still speaking to his "loyal" servant in that gentle and courteous voice.
"You are so loyal!"
"I have seen all your loyalty, how do you want me to reward you."
The moment the bone puppet left the palm, the servant regained the ability to speak.
He opened his voice and shouted loudly: "No, master"
"Look at me"
The sound of the monster chewing came from the room, and then the servant disappeared entirely.
The huge bone puppet opened its mouth and spit out a small bone worm.
The newly born bone worm wriggled in the palm of the puppet, arching and falling section by section, as if it wanted to escape towards the outside of the palm.
But as the puppet's bones and palms closed little by little, it was imprisoned inside like a bone prison.
In life, he was a servant of Anhofus.
Even if he dies, he still can't escape his control.
The other side.
Sky Temple.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Anhofus, who controlled the bone puppet with two purposes, finally understood something.
"Got it."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
The king of Xiyin Sai moved to kill him, and showed incomparable greed for the so-called "fruit of eternal life" in his hands, even taking his own daughter as a sacrifice.
Anhorfus suddenly made a decision, a terrible one.
He's not going to leave.
He returned to his lounge and took out the flask hidden in the burqa.
His eyeballs were tightly pressed against the glass wall, as if he was staring at the villain inside.
"Let me see what you are!"
"Is it the myth of eternal life?"
"Or something else."
"Some things, if you don't take a look at the final result, you are really not reconciled!"
Anhofus originally didn't want to continue this experiment. He saw the god-made man in the form of immortality with his own eyes, and he knew that the man he created was obviously not an artificial man.
As for the villain in the bottle, if he wants to truly take shape, it is estimated that the mythical blood of all the powerful people in the entire king's capital must be filled in, which is barely enough.
This time.
It can almost be said that the core strength of the entire Heinsay has been given away.
At the cost of almost sacrificing the entire Sheensay, I gambled on a confused result.
This is not a search for truth, more like a lunatic venting.
Although others call Anhofus a lunatic, Anhofus never thinks so, he is rational.
He does things by hook or by crook, at all costs, but he has a purpose.
He paid the price, and then went to seek a result, absolutely not killing and crazy for no reason.
It's just compared with ordinary people.
What he pursues is different from what he wants.
"But now."
"It doesn't matter, you asked for it yourself."
A strong desire suddenly surged in Anhofus' heart, which was the expectation that the answer to the mystery would be revealed soon.
------------------
Facing the smooth mirror, Princess Yeya stroked the bell on her hand.
The maid on the side put on an extremely complicated dress for her, and the strings and buttons alone made people dazzled.
But this set of presents is really gorgeous and makes people look forward to it. When the maid put it on for the princess, her eyes were shining.
"Your Highness, you are really very happy."
Princess Yeya: "How to say?"
The maid: "That is the priest who serves the gods, he is like an apostle of the gods."
Another maid also smiled and said, "You two are together, just like the legendary Angel Polo and the Queen of Stars, it's so romantic.
"The Messenger Polo and the Queen of Stars?"
This metaphor.
In an instant, Princess Yeya's uneasy and worried mood became sunny.
"It's time to go."
The wedding ceremony takes place in the side hall of the Sky Temple.
The sun is a bit dazzling today, shining in front of the gate of the palace.
It seems like a golden world is opening up to you.
There are dense crowds standing on both sides, as if the dignitaries of the entire Sinnsay Kingdom are gathered here.
Today's two protagonists, one is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Henir Dynasty, and the other is the God Attendant Priest of the Sky Temple.
They will witness the combination of theocracy and kingship, as well as the combination of blood and power.
Princess Yeya saw Anhofus, who put on the robe of the sky priest and the silver crown.
He looked at himself, with the gloomy and noble temperament of the old aristocrats.
Under the golden light, she walked inside wearing gorgeous clothes.
There was a cheer in her heart, and her body let out a breath of relief.
"Ah!"
"It's today!"
That dream seemed to really come to the ground at this time.
The Hinsay-style wedding is not that complicated. You only need to swear an oath to the gods under the witness of everyone, and then drink the holy water from the holy lake.
It is said.
This is a tradition left over from the time of King Jesser.
In order to reflect their nobility, the royal family and the dignitaries made the process a little more complicated. The venue and various utensils were changed.
But the core has never changed.
Princess Yeya looked at the magnificent statue and her husband's side face, and she felt happy.
However.
When Anhofus held the golden cup and was about to swear an oath to the gods.
He stopped suddenly, looking around.
His actions also attracted the attention of the crowd in the hall, all of them looked at Anhofus.
Anhofus looked at the King of Sinnsay who was standing aside, and asked him in a playful tone.
"Your Majesty!"
"When does it start?"
Princess Yeya who was standing beside him was a little confused, why at such a critical moment, the other party asked such endless questions.
She carefully tugged on the hem of Raanhofus's clothes, and asked him in a low voice.
"When does it start?"
"Isn't it already started?"
Anjofus smiled and glanced at Her Royal Highness: "I am asking your father, our great king of Sinnsay."
"Why haven't you started to kill me yet? I'm getting impatient for waiting."
"Are you"
"What are you waiting for?"
Anchofoss turned around and looked at the others in the crowd: "Wait to get the magic bottle that my teacher left for me at my mansion? Enchantment, my bone puppet is trapped in the city of servants of the gods?"
The people present were at a loss and did not understand what happened at all.
But the face of the king of Xiyin Sai became extremely ugly.
Anhofus held up the golden cup, then turned around again, staring at the King of Xiyin Sai.
"Still."
"Are you waiting for me to drink this so-called holy lake water?"
"That's great."
"The giant monster's saliva refined by the famous poison priest, the more powerful the powerful, the faster it will attack and die."
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere became completely different in an instant.
The originally lively and festive hall has become completely silent.
In the side corridors on both sides, many powerful priests suddenly walked in for some reason.
The king of Xiyin Sai glanced over there, and then stood up angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? At this time today."
Anjofus's expression didn't change in any way, he just looked at the King of Sinnsay flatly.
The most astonished and flustered among the crowd was Princess Yeya, one of today's protagonists.
It was fine just now, everyone was congratulating them, why did it suddenly become like this.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the newlywed husband and father staring at each other like mortal enemies, she grabbed Anhofus's hand.
"How come!"
"You got it wrong!"
Anhoefus was unmoved at all, the power of authority on him erupted, and the coercion carried by the fourth-level authority immediately oppressed everyone breathless.
The scepter of the king of Xiyin Sai was stuck on the ground: "What are you doing? Do you want to assassinate me?"
"I married my daughter to you."
"What nonsense are you talking about at this time today?"
Anjofus smiled: "To be honest, I don't know where Your Majesty has the courage to come so close to me."
Seeing the two people who were about to tear their faces apart completely, Her Highness the Princess was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She didn't know how to solve it, she could only grab the corner of Anhofus's clothes, and looked at him with almost pleading eyes.
Suddenly.
She saw the golden cup in Anhoefus' hand, the holy water that she would swear to drink before God.
She snatched the cup from Anhofus's hand, and drank it in one gulp while everyone was caught off guard.
Anhofus, who had been confronting the King of Sinnsay all this time, did not expect that he would suddenly reach out and grab him.
But it was too late.
Anhofus looked at Princess Yeya with doubts in his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Ahnhoforth froze.
He couldn't understand this woman, let alone such a stupid move.
Princess Yeya smiled.
She looked at Anhofus with a smile, and said with a little pride.
It's like using a little girl who has succeeded in a trick in front of a dear one.
"See no."
"It's not poisonous, you made a mistake."
"Why would my father harm you?"
"No poison no"
But as she spoke, her eyes began to change.
She felt a change in her body, which was not a sign of no poison.
"铛" That was the sound of the golden cup falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Princess Yeya also limp and fell on Anhofus' body.
She was limp all over, feeling the bone-piercing cold begin to erode her body.
But what really made her feel terrible and unbelievable was that her father would poison her wedding, intending to poison her new husband to death.
"It turned out to be true."
Princess Yeya fell weakly into the arms of Anhofus. She tried a few times, but she couldn't stand up again.
She turned her head vigorously and looked towards her father.
She wanted to ask her father, but she still couldn't believe the answer even now.
I don't even understand why you do this.
However.
What she turned her head to see was the scene in the crowd, the king of Xiyin Sai retreated outside the hall under guard.
The king of Xiyin Sai didn't even look at her, and when she reached the bottom, he immediately backed away quickly.
Abandon her like a shoe.
"Ah!"
"Dead, really dead."
"Hurry up!"
Screams erupted from the crowd, and the people present looked shocked at Princess Yeya who fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Everyone really felt something was wrong and ran outside.
At the same time, many soldiers and priests who had already prepared, as well as a dozen or so figures in black robes could be seen retreating together.
These people originally waited for Anhofus to be poisoned and acted immediately, but now there are obvious changes.
She also completely understood what was going on.
That's true.
She gave up looking at the king of Xiyin Sai, and let go of her body directly.
Anhofus looked at Princess Yeya, who was his wife in name, but he had no feelings at all.
"It's really stupid."
"I said it is poisonous, so it must be poisonous."
She smiled silly: "You care about me."
Anjofus smiled: "Is this also called concern?"
Then, she took out a small box.
That was a gift she had prepared for Anhofus, a gift that she had prepared for a long time but could not send out.
"For you"
"Last time."
"When you come back at night, I want to give it to you."
Anhoefus took the box, which contained a volume of secret books.
It is the secret book left by Schroeder, the first generation of sky priest in ancient times, and Anhofus usually likes it most.
It can be seen that Princess Yeya has indeed spent a lot of thought in order to please him.
Anjofus didn't know what to say. With his common sense and thinking, it was really hard for him to understand what the woman in front of him was thinking: "It's all this time, and you still think about it?"
"Hi!"
"You are going to die!"
Although he said so, he still put away his things.
Watching Anhofus accept the gift, a faint smile appeared on her face.
After laughing, there is only sadness left.
The moment Anhofus took the box, his originally cold tone suddenly softened for a moment.
"What else do you want to say?"
Princess Yeya's mouth continuously filled with black blood, and she looked at Anhofus with worries and fears in her eyes.
She is afraid of death and the coming of darkness.
However, she is more afraid of what will happen later.
The mouth was full of blood, and her voice began to become a little unclear.
"I'm scared and sad."
Ahnhofus understands her fear, there is no fear when a person dies.
He only asked: "What are you sad about?"
Princess Yeya's voice is inaudible: "Nothing terrible will happen next."
Her voice is questioning.
But she knew that what would happen next would happen.
Her father and her new husband are destined to start a war between you and me.
"Quick, quick."
"Fence this place."
At the final dying moment, she saw the shadows of the soldiers outside the temple from the corner of her eyes, and also faintly felt the power fluctuations of the priests starting the ceremony.
With fear and sadness, Princess Yeya died.
From the beginning, she was a **** and a tool.
His father, the King of Hynsai, did not love her, nor did her new husband.
She thought it was her wedding.
In fact.
This is a stage between an ambitious monster king and a crazier evil mage in order to realize their own desires and goals.
There is no romance and warmth.
There are only greed, evil and lust.
