Chapter 104
Chapter 104: The Oracle of Light.
The sound echoed in the empty hall, producing an awesome effect, and Etienne was unavoidably panicked when he heard the sound.
Perhaps to embolden himself, Etienne amplified the volume and asked:
“Who is there?”
He walked down from the makeshift altar and looked around for the source of the sound. And the voice used the most concise words to express his identity:
“Your god.”
Etienne has been a priest for many years and often encounters believers in ceremonies where believers are loved by the gods and appear to be in dialogue with them. It’s a matter of conversations between job holders. It is said that the God of Light never appears in front of ordinary believers and clergy, and only speaks to kings and high priests. Etienne had obtained many secret documents and received many tips before, but no one had ever told him that the Illuminati God would talk to him before he took office as the chief priest of the Temple of the Kings.
This is simply impossible.
Combined with Etienne’s previous state of mind, he was more inclined to believe that this was a trick that the deputy priests who had failed in the competition came up with in order to declare outside the new capital of the temple that the priest was unconscious.
He stood in the middle of the hall and sternly reprimanded:
“Who are you? An imposter will be punished by God.”
While questioning this way, he shuttled back and forth in the hall, holding the candlestick and illuminating all the dark corners, but his guess seemed to be inaccurate. After careful inspection, Etienne could confirm that there is indeed no place in this hall. two people.
Just when he was puzzled, he just listened to the voice and continued:
“Prudence is a beautiful character, but you shouldn’t question your gods.”
Etienne raised his head and looked at the tall light idol:
“If it was confirmed that it was my **** who was speaking to me, I would naturally not question it. However, I once heard that the God of Light only appeared to the High Priest and His Majesty the King, and I was just an unappointed priest of the temple. What is there? What’s special, can you get the favor of the gods?”
The voice paused for a moment, then continued:
“What you’ve heard before is really right. My believers are all over the plane. Under normal circumstances, I don’t speak to ordinary believers. But now it’s at a critical juncture. In the dark night, the throne of the high priest has also been contaminated by heathens. The faith of the royal capital is almost lost, and I have to find believers who truly believe in the light in the entire royal capital. You will not only become the priest of the temple, but also inherit it. Bright blood, young and pious, is the best candidate I can find.”
The statement of the gods made Etienne full of doubts. His Majesty and the mages signed a treaty to jointly attack the Northern Alliance. He knew very well. Such a decision can be called “fighting with the dark night” for the time being. But the statement that “the throne of the high priest is contaminated by pagans”… seems to have no basis at all. The current high priest is the king’s uncle. He has been in the Temple of Light since he was very young. Although he agreed with the signing of His Majesty the King’s contract with the mages, it is indeed strange, but the so-called “infidel” statement…what is it? Where did it come from?
Etienne’s doubts don’t need to be spoken, his mind looks like an open skylight to the other party and can be easily discerned. Just listen to the voice and explain to him:
“The current high priest is not a believer in the light, but a necromancer in disguise. The name is Damian, a twin born on the same day as the high priest. He was born in the light, and he was born in the same color as the sun. Blond, but voluntarily fell, went to get close to the darkness, became a necromancer, using evil spells to manipulate the body of the dead. Now he committed the felony of killing brothers, using evil potions to blaspheme the high priest’s eucharist, relying on himself and The similar appearance of the high priest replaced the position of the high priest.”
Etienne showed a look of surprise:
“With all due respect, what you said is too bizarre and unimaginable.”
Perhaps his appearance was too surprised, and there was a smile in his voice:
“When the murder happened, you could almost count as being on the scene. The inspiration made you bump into the murder scene, but you were immersed in it and didn’t see it through.”
This statement puzzled Etienne. He calculated the date when the high priest began to become strange and his own trajectory, and finally thought of:
“Could it be…”
“It was during that ball. When you broke into the high priest’s lounge, the man you saw was no longer the real high priest, but his brother Damian. The remains of the high priest at the time were still In the room, if you take two more steps forward, you will see the cold body of the high priest.”
When the God of Light broke the matter, Etienne suddenly remembered that he had smelled a weird, thick rust that day in the high priest’s lounge.
Although the smell was strange, he was full of anxiety at the time and didn’t care about it. Now he wants to come…that might be the smell of blood on the high priest.
When Etienne learned the secret, he stayed motionless, too shocked to speak. At this time, the voice said again:
“Now if I don’t show a little miracle, I’m afraid you still have doubts in your heart, no matter what, I will show you a small miracle to make you have a slight sense of the power of the gods.”
When the voice of the God of Guangming fell, the hall suddenly shone brightly, almost burning people’s eyes. Even if all the lights here are turned on, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such an effect. After hearing about the high priest, Etienne had already believed in the identity of the god, but when he saw this scene, he was finally completely convinced and knelt down in front of the idol of the **** of light:
“Please forgive me for my ignorance. I would like to take the lead and offer you advice. But I am very guilty. Although I am a believer, I became the priest of the temple only by the recommendation of the evil necromancer… Maybe I was not qualified to be with you. chat.”
Etienne’s tone seemed a little lost, but the God of Light said:
“I choose to talk with you, and it has nothing to do with whether you are the priest of the temple. Your identity is more special than all the people in this country. Your father is a confirmation of the light in this world, but your mother is a dark night believer with blood-colored hair. They wanted to create a sinful child with blood-colored hair together, but the light covered your hair with gold. Your existence is the proof that the light overwhelms the darkness, and it is a miracle in this world. Damian made you a holy The priest of the palace is definitely not kind, he wants to stimulate the inherent darkness in you, so that you will eventually lose your status as a child of light and become a slave to the dark night. And I found you, so I came to guide you in the right direction. ”
The gods easily revealed the secret of Etienne’s life, which surprised him, even more shocked than knowing that the high priest had died. Although His Majesty the King has never admitted, Etienne vaguely guessed that his blond hair might be inherited from the King, but he never knew who his mother was.
When interacting with the noble ladies in the royal capital, he also listened carefully, but he had never heard of anyone who might have a son as old as him. For a while, Etienne had suspected that perhaps his mother was just an ordinary civilian woman, but after he got acquainted with the king, he concluded that His Majesty would never allow a civilian woman to give birth to his child. The king made an illegitimate child absolutely for its purpose, abandoning him only because he could not meet the king’s requirements.
For a long time, Etienne has been distressed by this, thinking that he is not good enough to cause this result. But when he arrived in the royal capital, His Majesty the King treated him very generously, which made up for his previous heartache to some extent, but Etienne still didn’t know who his mother was.
God’s words tore through the truth, and Etienne instantly guessed the identity of his mother.
His mother is… the female mage who often hides behind the king?
Etienne keeps in mind the creed that the priest should not make more contact with the wizard. He has seen her several times, but he doesn’t even remember her name…Occasionally, when she meets in the court, the female wizard also follows He didn’t say anything special to him, but walked over normally, as if he didn’t know him at all.
Obviously his mother has no feelings for him. She must know his life experience, but she has never made any hint.
Etienne was in a frenzy of faith at this time, and the fact that he began to hate his mother.
But Guangming God did not let him go too far in this direction, and pulled the topic back:
“It is not your fault to be recommended by the Necromancer, but the cause and effect of the previous generation. I will not deprive you of your status as a believer and priest of the Light God for this. But you have indeed done a very serious evil… …Have you never thought of mentioning it?”
Etienne stared blankly into the eyes of the **** statue, completely unaware of what the **** of light was saying.
“That’s not something that happened recently… However, many years ago, you had hidden a girl who believed in the **** of the end, so that she could survive the world, and even successfully became a knight.”
Etienne had never thought that what he had done accidentally a few years ago would have been said by the gods as a sin at this time, and he trembled.
Just listen to the voice of the God of Light and continue to say:
“Now that girl has grown up and has officially become a believer in the **** of doomsday. She has even awakened the evil **** and is spreading faith widely… As the heir of the light, can you sit back and watch this happen?”
“No…no!” Etienne blurted out, “How can I help you and make up for my previous sins?”
The foreboding of the God of Light and the gentle light sprinkled on Etienne:
“I don’t lack priests, but I don’t have enough pious warriors. I want you to become a warrior, fight for me, and let the light spread on the earth.”
