Power and Empire Chapter 1339: Holy Woman (1)
Between the broken walls and ruins of the Sanctuary on the top of St. Nicholas, the wind blows the weeds among the stones. Here is a deserted broken wall in the temple, and a stone house that has collapsed mostly on the broken wall.
Hundreds of years ago, this place existed as a stargazing room for the disciples of the temple. The conditions at that time were not good. The minimalist style advocated by the Prophet Feilan was fully interpreted here, and it was remote. It’s almost impossible to see a person, and there is usually nothing to pay attention to these places, let alone hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has long been turned into a barren soil overgrown with weeds, only some scattered fragments interspersed in the grass, which proves Someone once lived here
From here, you can see the situation of the road under the mountain at a glance,
An old man in a high priest's costume stood on the cliff, with piercing eyes looking at the horse team that was a hundred meters below, slowly climbing up the circling mountain road, his two white eyebrows were heavily twisted together. The shiny eyes fell into a burst of inexplicable contemplation,
He is Monroe, the chief high priest of the Sky Presbyterian Church,
is responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the temple. After the high priest Palschena became ill, Monroe has faintly become the principal of the priest. The mountain wind blows his short white hair and is accompanied by a large gold-painted side. The sacrificial robe, the breath of majesty blows over your face,
Behind him, there are two elderly men who wear long ritual costumes like him. One of them has thick hair, a thin body, and has an unforgettable crooked nose. This is responsible Adonis, the doctrine of the doctrine,
Because he has been with the dry and cold doctrine and classics all the year round, he looks a little gloomy. Because he is full-time responsible for explaining the doctrine, he is also responsible for supervising the behavior of the middle and lower levels of worship and preaching, and his style is serious and harsh. Many of the middle and lower-level priests have their legs trembling when they hear the name, and a pair of unique triangular eyes gives people a harsh and compelling feeling.
The other is a slightly fat old man with a ruddy face and not tall. Standing there gives people a sense of solidity, plain and divine eyes, which always seems to bring people a sense of peace. He is the person in charge of supporting the sacrificial ceremony. Ivan Brown High Priest,
Compared with the other two, this high priest of Ivan Brown has a lower sense of existence,
Although they are both members of the Presbyterian Church, the first two hold a lot of real power, and this one is only in charge of the festival arrangement and ritual preparations, and cannot be put on the table at all. Under normal circumstances, if It’s not like this time the establishment of a new saint is such a major event, but every year, during the Winter Veil, I can only see the high priest once in a while. In terms of the temple, it gives the appearance that there are only three high priests in charge, and only the insiders know that there are four high priests in the temple
The three of them and the Timothy High Priest who came to greet constitute the current Presbyterian Church of the Celestial Church, which nominally assists Palschenna in managing the Church. In fact, they are the core of the Church. So they will appear on this deserted cliff because they suddenly received a report that made them panic. The southern governor of the empire, Statunko, came to St. Nicholas. This is a secret plan for the establishment of the empire. The elders of the new saints don’t say it. It can be described as a bolt from the blue, just like the embarrassment and embarrassment of being caught and raped in bed
The mountain breeze is blowing, and it is slightly cold. His gaze paused on the large wooden box on the carriage in the distance, the oldest chief priest Monroe turned from the front, his face depressed and the two equally unsightly faces behind him said
"What do you think about this? At this time, "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text", the southern governor of the empire suddenly came to our St. Nicholas with an army. It can never be as simple as a coincidence! Although we don’t know the real purpose of the other party, we also need to be careful.
Especially the ceremony of the new saint is coming soon. We need to be more cautious. Otherwise, once the empire forcibly intervenes in advance, we will lose our face and not say anything. I am afraid that the prestige that the holy religion has finally recovered will suffer unbearable damage! "
"What the chief priest said is that I also think it's not easy!" It was not the stern-faced Yadunis who responded, but Ivan Brown, who was slightly fat,
he subconsciously shrank his head, his expression seriously analyzed
"First of all, the Battle of the Black Forest has been over for a few months. Why does the empire just remember to hand the statue to us now? Second, although this is the only large statue of the prophet found in the first grand ceremony, it is because of this You need to alert a Vecia Falcon’s confidant governor to **** it personally. It’s really unreasonable! That is the southern governor of the Empire with tens of thousands of troops. He needs to travel hundreds of miles to send a statue for such a trivial matter. What a joke! I can assure you that this governor is definitely taking on a special mission of the Vekia Falcon!"
I have to admit that this high priest Ivan Brown, who has been rare for a year, is too eloquent. He is indeed the high priest who is responsible for guiding the newcomers to understand the complex rituals. He analyzed a problem and spoke in a straightforward manner. Whether it's true or false, you will be dizzy first, and people will fall into it unconsciously, a typical **** stick!
"What does "special mission" mean? "The oldest Monroe bounced his eyebrows. He was obviously shocked by the word. What is a special mission? This is too much meaning. Anyway, what falls on the head of the Holy Church will definitely not be Good thing, otherwise why bring so many guards,
"Should not be enough! The relationship between the upper empire and us is not that bad!"
, the dean of doctrine with a cold look, speaks as coldly as he looks, "at least not yet, because the sacred religion is the spiritual sustenance of millions of Salanders, even the empire. I dare not take any action directly against us!"
" This is hard to say! "Seeing the uncertainty flashing in the eyes of Adonis, the high priest Ivan Brown emphasized his tone and continued, "You think, who is the Vicia Falcon, that's the least." The butcher who killed millions of people!"
" So what, I don’t believe that he dared to kill all the Salanders! "The dean of the doctrine, Yadunis, looked arrogant and unmoved
Ivan Brown continued, "To be honest, I have been paying attention to the expeditionary force during this period of time. No one knows the specific situation, but I feel that the empire is very polite to us now. To the point of turning your face, there will never be a trace of softness!"
"The cold heart of the king, can you and me be able to figure it out?"
Ivan Brown’s voice stopped, he sighed, and said coldly, "Think about the expeditionary force. In order to mobilize 20,000 Sarandians to join the expeditionary force, the Vekia Falcon could not hesitate. The best training, weaponry, and officer equipment were given to all participating Salander soldiers. But Normandy had just been defeated. In less than a month, the expeditionary army changed from a hero praised by everyone to an army of the empire. Encirclement and suppression of the rebels,
Tens of thousands of troops didn't even have a little room to resist, they were blown to death by the Viking Falcon! What does this show? The imperial butcher knife has never been dull, and the speed of turning the face of "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Character" is too fast. . . . Gee! "
Ivan Brown shook his head and did not want to go on, but the expression on his face undoubtedly showed that the brutality of the emperor was not just empty words of intimidation,
" In terms of killing and decisiveness. Even if the three of us are tied together, it’s not as good as the limp southern governor." Ivan Brown said without evasiveness. "Not to mention, behind the governor. Known as the invincible God of War, the Vickia Falcon! And as far as I know, I don’t know why, the temple has been inconclusive about expeditionary military affairs. I heard that there are still many people for the expeditionary army in some middle and lower-level sacrifices. Injustice"
"That's why the southern governor came in person! I can only say that this is dangerous, you are challenging the patience of the empire!" The voice of the high priest Ivan Brown stopped, his eyes turned to the side. Adonis, the dean of Doctrines, took a look.
The look in his eyes is like saying, this kind of thing is under the control of the Doctrinal Institute, look at what it's all about! Do it now. They came directly to the door, and there is no way to deal with it here
"It doesn't matter to me, it's just some personal sacrifices! It's not within the scope of the doctrine deviation that needs to be corrected!" The dean of the doctrine, Yadunis, looked at the North District, rolled white smoke to him, and insisted on his face. "And I don't think it's wrong,
"For hundreds of years, the sacred religion has been succumbing to the secular kingship. If we say that we were ruled by the Salander in the past, we should forget it. But now it is the foreigners who rule the Salander." Dean of doctrine Adonis’ decisive voice echoed in the air, revealing blood. "The original doctrine of the Holy Religion is to take on the responsibility of teaching the Sarander’s freedom, integrity, and courage. We are not puppets of the empire, they can dominate. The Salander’s ***, but we are the spirit of the Salander. The expeditionary army is not wrong. In the face of national hatred and family enmity, they are all Salanders regardless of whether they have made any horrible killings in the rumor. Hero,
" They only killed our enemies. "Adunis turned his head and looked at the beautiful Salander in the distance, and said deeply, "The rejuvenation of the earth cannot conceal the wounds of war. In my mind, I still remember The tragic scene of broken mountains and rivers,
Cruel Normans are constantly invading our beautiful country. At that time, I felt like living in a nightmare every day. When I opened my eyes, I heard the news of the defeat of the frontline army and the pain of the wounded. More than a million people died in the disaster, countless people fell under the slaughter of the Normans, and the only thing I can do is pray for them! I can’t go against my conscience and accuse these warriors who have carried the humiliation of Salander and raised the sword of vengeance to the Normans are traitors, because if I can still get a weapon, I will go too and obey the will of the empire. To declare that they are rebels is insulting me, insulting the temple, insulting all Salanders themselves! "
, Monroe's face is heavy and he doesn't say a word. Obviously, it is not only Adonis who thinks like this. In fact, the jījin of the chief high priest is also very famous in the temple, and many of them belong to the temple. Mamunuk was actually his loyal believer. During the war between Salander and Normandy, the high priest who was over 60 ran on the front lines of the war many times, even though the blood of the wounded soldier was stained with the blood of the priest. Robe, still using a peaceful tone, prayed to the **** of the sky for the wounded soldiers. That war was a disaster for the entire Salander. It was a hatred of the family, and it was a hatred of the country!
"Okay, follow you" Compared to the two companions' "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ Text", the plump body of the priest Ivan Brown can only express compromise, and his right hand rubbed in pain. Temple said, "I can see it if I am a blind man. Obviously, this high-ranking governor did not express his attitude towards the two of you! It is really distressed. When he came, we wanted to hide from the empire. The thing under the female confirmation won’t work either,
If we suddenly announce the stop. Although it can temporarily get rid of the crisis, it is also equivalent to admitting that the temple has succumbed to the secular kingship. This trick is too powerful. We have no way at all. We can neither hold it nor stop it. Time is approaching every moment. . . . . . . What a bad thing this is! "
"Actually, I have a way!"
Doctrinal Dean Adonis hesitated on his face, and said mysteriously, "Since I can’t avoid it, if I face it directly. He hit us by surprise. We can also hit him by surprise. It’s better to make the situation bigger. Some "
"Well? What do you mean, make it clearer!"
The doctrinal dean of the eagle hook nose sneered at the corner of his mouth. "Anyway, the selection ceremony of the new saint is only three days later, even if the other party knows it, it will not be able to tell the Vijay hunt in Normandy, which is far across the sea Eagle, we can use this opportunity to announce to the entire Salander that the ceremony of the new saint will be held in the Holy Land Nicholas, and the whole ceremony will be open to everyone. I believe that day will be unprecedented! In full view, even the empire Wanting to put pressure on us or stop the ceremony is not something that the governor of the South can decide without authorization!"
"This method seems feasible!" The priest Ivan Brown hesitated and nodded in agreement,
"Hehe, what a brilliant idea." Monroe took a meaningful look at the long black line that had reached halfway up the mountain in the distance, and smiled excitedly at the corners of his mouth. "Let's do it like this, I'll send someone right away." Tell Timothy that the governor will be placed in the Basilica of St. Pedro, where the environment is beautiful. You can see the beautiful mountain scenery at any time. The most important thing is that it is located in the middle of the mountain road, whether it is up or down. It is all in ours. Under the eyeliner monitoring! As long as we pay close attention to the governor, don’t let the wind show from here, after three days, even if the other party wants to react and mobilize, it’s too late!"
In the dark night, the fat man stood in the courtyard halfway up the mountain, looking up at a ball of bright fireball slowly rising in the black night sky, "Bump!" There was a loud noise, and the sky in the distance. Beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky one by one, illuminating the fat man’s longing dark pupils, and also illuminating the environment around him,
The green color is hazy, and dozens of palm trees swaying in the wind rubbed in the night. Compared with the beautifully decorated Vikia-style courtyard, a blue color flows down here. This is a bend from the top of the mountain. Green spring water, the spring water hits the plaque stones, the sound of Ding Ding Dong Dong is like a melodious nocturne,
Simple to the extreme, spiritual realm to the extreme, revealing true movement in silence,
The sound of people singing and dancing happily came from under the mountain. From a distance, the lights illuminate the vast fields of the city under the mountain like daylight. The celebration of the birth of the prince evokes the weakness of the fat man’s heart. Staring at the fireworks exploding in the sky,
This is an observatory outside the temple where you can look up to the sky. Standing here, the fat man can see the scene below the mountain more realistically. Several guards were going to follow him, and the fat man was slightly angry. Looking back, "I am an ordinary guard now, who would harm me with "Baidu ★ Meng Meng 桜 ★ text", you are by my side, it is the real harm to me! "The guards did not dare to follow, so they had to return to Anton Statunko’s residence,
There is no wind in the night, time is passing by, and the celebration at the foot of the mountain seems to have entered **. Some people call the voice of the prince long live, and there is also the melodious organ sound fluttering in the wind. Even the hardest people will be like this Melted away
The fat man listened to the laughter coming from a distance, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky full of stars above his head like electricity. A shocking sensation came, like a huge galaxy like a illusion of light, like a long river Hanging horizontally, people can hardly feel their own existence. Between this world, human beings are so small, maybe just as Prays said, in front of the powerful river of time, anyone is in a hurry. Passerby, only blood is the trace that once existed. Before he knew it, the fat man had completely relaxed his tense body, thoroughly feeling this very rare long-lost feeling. Only at this moment did he feel the dynasty's hegemony, but it was In the past ten days of time and space, everything I have worked hard is just to live better!
I don’t know how long it took, the sound of the festival at the foot of the mountain gradually calmed down, and there were footsteps returning from the city festival on the mountain road. There were men and women. Most of them seemed to have stopped at the foot of the mountain. There was a low-level sacrifice. In the place of residence, there is only one sound of footsteps from far to near,
Suddenly, the fat man heard a displeased female hum, "It's really bad luck, how come I meet an imperial dog here!"
Fatty opened his eyes and saw a dozen or so meters in front of the observatory, seven or eight well-armed Salander women stared openly,
Among the several women, stood a gorgeous young woman who was wearing Mamunuk armor, she was slender and possessed a kind of vigorous and moving beauty~IndoMTL.com~English Windy, charming and charming,
The girl looked at the fat man coldly. The male self-esteem made the fat man not avoid her gaze. A strange **** flashes in the girl’s eyes, frowning, "Where have I seen you?"
"Little...Sister Xiaoyu, like the silly fat man across the street!" said another timid female voice, and the fat man was stunned. Where did he hear this voice (to be continued) [] Like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.
