A sacred light of Taros not only affected the sun-burning tower of the secular kingdom, but its light also penetrated the chaotic vortex in the center of the Koror world and appeared in the eyes of the holy people.

For many days, the sanctuary has been shrouded in a tense and depressive atmosphere. The continuous weakening of the light of Asoman has approached the final limit. The order shield covering the floating continent is so thin that it is almost difficult for the naked eye The degree of resolution, the dark chaotic power in the endless nothingness is surging continuously outside the barrier, as if the sea is hanging, ready to cover the entire continent at any time-such a terrible scene weighs heavily on the hearts of everyone in the sanctuary This once glorious and proud race is now being controlled by feelings of frustration and despair.

Suddenly, a strong light illuminated from the opposite side of the dull chaos. The strong light tore the boundary between space and time, as if the sky was divided in two, illuminating the space outside the barrier, this scene It shocked everyone and created hopeless hopes out of thin air.

In the view of the holy people of the goddess of creation, this light is almost a miracle, it seems to indicate the end of the dark moment-although the light gradually disappears after more than ten minutes, it has inspired Many people on this continent.

However, most of them are encouraged by ordinary people, and the real top managers are not daring to be optimistic.

Pope August VII summoned all the cardinals and inner court bachelors in the white hall of the Iconostasis. Under the eternal holy light of the white hall, these Kolo worlds are the most wise and authoritative Theology and polygraphers discussed the impact of the previous light. August VII sat on the high pope's throne and listened to the report of one of the cardinals.

"Under the crown, we have determined that the light comes from the Ansu continent, but we cannot determine the specific location. The fog of chaos covers the trajectory of each continent. Now we cannot observe any specific land, we can only rely on the world The model is used to roughly estimate the current position of other continents, but as chaos becomes more rampant, the accuracy of such position estimation is also decreasing. "

A group of exquisite models carved out of magic gems floated around the cardinal who spoke. These models restored the five floating continents of the Kolo World and dozens of larger floating islands with amazing craftsmanship. In detail, they run slowly in the air, simulating the approximate location of each piece of land in the sea of ​​Karnos based on some ancient data.

The accuracy of this model is not very high due to the influence of chaotic tides.

"Ansu Continent ... very good," August VII rubbed his forehead. "Asuman's revelation was once again confirmed that there is a miracle of the Goddess of Creation on that continent."

"The beam of light caused a sensation among the civilians and the lower priests," another bishop stood up. "The good news is that our morale is recovering. The explanation about the beam of light has been radiated, and it is now recognized as Inspiring miracles. But there is also bad news: after the beam of light disappeared, everything returned to normal, Azuma ’s light was still weakening, and the barrier over the sanctuary was not strengthened. The effectiveness of this miracle may be over time. And the decline-if no new miracles happen. "

"That light is only a sign, it is a sign from the gods' kingdom that we can persevere in this dark age, we should fight in the dark in response to the goddess's will," Augu Stein slowly said, "Holy people never give up hope, this is true throughout the ages."

Another bishop stood up: "The output power of the holy mountain Asoman has once again dropped by 1%, and its decay rate has stabilized. It is estimated that there will be no sudden fluctuations, but according to this trend, In at most another half month, we will completely lose the barrier. At that time, the sanctuary will fall into darkness like the common world. We will fight on this sacred land-the blood of chaos will defile the holy land. "

"Then we will fight against them, just like those secular kingdoms," another bishop said loudly. "The secular kingdoms can fight bravely, and the Holy Land people certainly will not retreat. We are already in The Fire Tower and the Sunburn Tower have been urgently constructed across the mainland. With the help of the remaining power of Asoman, these high towers can allow us to survive this chaotic tide. "

"The key is the next century-if Asuman cannot recover, we will be useless to survive this tide, and we ca n’t throw the burden to our children and grandchildren. I still insist on repairing Asoman as the first priority, I There is a plan ... "

The bishops once again got into a dispute on this topic. Various immature or unsophisticated plans were taken out and then rejected by them one by one. The inner court bachelors also argued with the bishop in this debate. The needle face is red and red. Each of them is a sincere and good-hearted person-doing his best for the future of this world and the safety of the sanctuary, but with the wisdom of mortals, it is finally difficult to solve the ultimate problem.

Holy Mount Asoman.

In the second half of the meeting, almost no achievements were made, and August VII had to stop and make everyone stop arguing. After the bishops and scholars had left the pure white hall, the pope stood up tiredly. The body that was no longer young made a burst of joints. He felt that the crown on his head was as heavy as to break his neck. Hua robe tied hands and feet like a shackle.

The nearby waiter immediately stepped forward. The middle-aged man who had followed August VII for thirty years saw a heavy weariness from the pope ’s face. He helped the latter take off the heavy golden crown and take it back. Pass that scepter: "Under the crown, are you going back to the palace to rest?"

"No," the pope waved his hand, "we go to the icon hall."

The near attendant blinked, as if he was a little surprised by this answer, but the habits he had developed for many years still made him swallow the doubts, but nodded gently.

Icon Hall—You can tell from the name that it has a special meaning in this iconic palace. This hall is almost the most magnificent space in the iconic palace, and the most sacred. From the pure white hall, it needs to pass through three corridors, two internal courtyards, and two long halls to reach its entrance. The Pope is no longer young, and he is even more reluctant to use convenient magic when he goes to the sanctuary, so he walked for an hour before coming to the icon.

The close attendant pushed open the gold-red door, and the pope sorted out his clothes and walked into the hall.

The hall is wide and empty, with no tables and chairs. Only two rows of tall columns are arranged in parallel, extending from the end of the hall to the end. The bright light spills from the series of circular holes above the hall. Let the whole space seem to float a layer of white holy light.

On both sides of the hall, behind those two rows of columns, a huge, lifelike statue was sitting quietly, majestic and sacred.

August VII walked forward along the central axis of the hall, bathed in the gaze of the two rows of icons, as if under the inspection of the kings of ancient times, full of piety, and discarding miscellaneous thoughts.

This is the icon hall, its name comes from the sacred statues in the hall, and even the name of the entire icon palace is named accordingly.

No one knows who made these statues, and even the founder of the ecclesiastical state has not left a word-this room existed before the establishment of the ecclesiastical state, and the 21 icons seem to come from mortals In the previous era, the entire Icon Palace was just a building shell that was expanded on the basis of the original reason of this "Icon Hall". Time went by, the pope changed from generation to generation, and the secular kingdom changed from one group to another. Only the mysterious colossus in this iconic hall has never changed since ancient times.

The colossus will be as high as ten meters if it stands up, but the volume is far from their most eye-catching place. What really amazes and even awes is the vivid appearance of these colossus: although they are made of stones, they can But it is as if the real person has clear eyebrows, and it must be realized, just like a group of really living rock giants sitting here. They are not like sculptures, but like living creatures that are sleeping.

This makes everyone who first stepped into the icon hall shudder. Even August VII remembers the fear and anxiety he felt when he first stepped into this place.

But that's all gone. Now that he has become the pope, stepping into the icon hall and accepting the attention of every colossus, this is no longer a daunting challenge, but a baptism of the soul and heart.

The Pope walked all the way to the end of the hall, and was about to reach the icon known as the "King of Kings". However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped and stared at him when he came. direction.

The two rows of colossus remained silent as usual, their expressions on the icy rock face, and their eyes stared straight at the center of the hall without any change.

But August VII had a creepy feeling coming out of his heart.

He shook his head. He had n’t felt this way in years. He was surprised why he was so sick.

In the moment just now, he felt that he was watching him no longer the glorious ancient king, but an indescribable terrible thing. Those empty eyes fell on himself, making him panic. The illusion of going into the abyss.

The old pope settled his mind and threw that weird illusion out of his mind. He turned around and leaned down religiously in front of the icon of the “king of kings”.

"The ancient wardens, please show me clearly ..."

The old Pope ’s deep voice echoed in front of the icon of the King of Kings.

Then the voice stopped suddenly. (To be continued.)
