Chapter 358: Gods’ Guidance on the Road Ahead
"To Muouwa"?
The anger that had just risen in the chief earth priest Raymond was poured with a bucket of cold water.
Looking at the Chief Water Priest Xineding with his eyes downcast, and Chief Justice Gulide with a smile on his face and a calm and peaceful demeanor, he suddenly understood what had puzzled him before.
Being able to become one of the six chief priests as a former member of the [Black Scripture], Chief Priest of Earth Raymond is naturally not a stupid person who only has power.
"Gemuwa" is one of the divine words passed down from the six great gods. It was originally thought to be some kind of special mysterious magic spell.
Until later.
On the eve of the great [Dark God]'s battle against the [Eight Desire Kings], the priest who served him heard many of the "Gimuwa" mumblings with his own ears.
Amid the devout crying of the believers, they finally learned from God that it meant "death".
It has been passed down to this day, and only those who hold high positions in the Church and have made great contributions will be given the honor of "Gimuwa" upon their death.
The devout followers of the Dark God pursue eternal peace and have always considered obtaining this honor as the highest privilege!
The atmosphere was silent.
"hehe."
Chief Justice Gulide chuckled and ran his fingertips across the black divine seal on his chest, as if he already knew the result.
The chief earth priest, Raymond, opened his mouth with a complicated look in his eyes: "You..., Lord Gulide, is it worth it?"
Mingming is the Chief Justice, but he is also the diplomat who welcomes Tang Zheng, the Holy Kingdom and others. The deep meaning behind this finally has an answer.
"As the Attorney General, I was unable to stop the death of an innocent baby. This is my dereliction of duty and sin."
"It's fine if the three 'Glorious Angels' are destroyed by that child, why does it have to be our human babies?"
Chief Justice Gulide raised his head, his old and cloudy eyes looking towards the starry sky:
"The war between the Theocracy and the elves has been going on for a long time. In terms of lifespan alone, apart from those dragons, there should be no other race that can surpass the elves in lifespan."
Mention "dragon".
Fear and deep fear flashed across the faces of the two chief priests.
"I have had contact with Team Leader Tang several times, and I have also studied his previous experiences in the Kingdom, Empire, and Holy Kingdom."
Chief Justice Gulide continued to gaze at the starry sky in the distance. His vision became more blurred, and his tone became calm and indifferent:
"Whether it's selling potions to civilians at low prices or participating in the Hill Incident. This leader Tang can be considered a good person, but he is not rigid and has a certain overall view."
"The failure of this meeting is inevitable. The other party will not accept the baby as the material for integration, even if the three "Glorious Archangels" are destroyed."
"The key is the "integration potion". Seeing the child's power is enough to shock the other party. I also use the overall direction of the human situation as an influence. The next strategy is to use gentle means to achieve cooperation."
Done.
Chief Justice Gulide glanced at the night sky with some nostalgia, then retracted his gaze and looked at the two chief priests in front of him: "When people get old, they always talk more. If we use the elf baby, we have to consider the child's opinion."
"Haha, I'm sure you six head priests have already thought of various strategies. Just treat this as my idle chat."
Shake his head.
"Cough, cough."
Chief Justice Gulide turned around again and looked at the ancient bell tower church. His robe decorated with black patterns was blown by the night wind, as if wiping the ground:
"I am going to say my morning prayers."
"May the gods guide us on our journey ahead - despite the dark clouds tonight."
At this moment, the night sky is full of twinkling stars and there are no dark clouds.
Inside the VIP hotel.
Tang Zheng opened his eyes and temporarily cut off the vision sharing of the mourning bird, and his vision fell back on the simple map in front of him.
The mourning bird only has the ability to share vision, but cannot hear what the three people are talking about.
but.
Seeing the map in front of him, he had some vague guesses.
"Sure enough, I still don't like these people from the Theocracy." Tang Zheng leaned back on the sofa and whispered calmly.
The next day.
——Morning light.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The humming sound of the holy bell rang, penetrating through the layers of air and echoing over the entire religious capital.
Tang Zheng stood in front of the transparent glass and looked at the main road outside. In a short period of time, a large number of believers gathered on it.
The group of people poured out from all directions and headed towards the bell tower of the ancient church.
The situation at hand clearly showed that something big had happened.
"Dead? To be exact, he probably committed suicide."
Tang Zheng folded his hands in front of his chest and stared calmly at the scene outside the window. With the help of the bird's vision sharing, he naturally knew what had happened:
"If other adventurers didn't know what happened, they would probably be shocked or impressed."
"Oh, even death is being calculated."
This is also the reason why Tang Zheng doesn’t like the people from the Church.
"There should be some movement over there in the Holy Kingdom." This thought just occurred to Tang Zheng.
Boom!
The roar of weapons colliding exploded in the courtyard below the VIP hotel.
On the green and neat grass.
Various sacred statues are arranged in spacious courtyards, with fountains, gardens, and carefully laid out cobblestone paths.
now.
There were two parties confronting each other.
Dozens of priests and clergymen lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Clementine held a short spike in both hands, stepped back to create some distance, looked at the angry Remedios opposite her, and grinned.
"Get lost! You lowly fellow!" Remedios said with a cold face:
"Let someone of higher status from your Theocracy come to see me, or do you not even know the most basic etiquette and even want to restrict our actions!"
"Oh, sorry."
Clementine shrugged her shoulders: "Because something big happened here, you can't leave the hotel for the time being."
"This is an order from above. I am just an executor. If the Paladin and the young lady continue to have unnecessary conflicts, I will not be polite either~"
Even so.
Clementine's face showed an eager look.
"Go to hell!"
Remedios had long wanted to teach this crazy woman a lesson, so he grasped the holy sword with both hands and wanted to continue the attack.
"Wait a moment, Captain. This is the capital of the Silian Theocracy after all."
Izadro stepped forward and whispered to stop Remedios. Then he looked across.
"Miss Clementine, could you please tell me what happened?"
"Oh, an old man of high status died."
"Please grief."
"Can we meet with the Attorney General who approached us as a diplomat?"
“Sorry, that old man who died was him~” Clementine licked her pink lips and spoke innocently.
She felt that this matter was quite interesting.
But after all, she was in the Church, and there were many people around paying attention to this place, so she couldn't show a smiling face. "Pink" Isaacro was stunned, obviously not expecting this to happen. When he thought of some of the rules in the Church, his face couldn't help but darken.
"so what."
Clementine played with the short cone in her hand and spoke again slowly:
"The Attorney General, a very high-ranking figure, has passed away, and he had direct contact with you for a long time during this period."
"Just in case, everyone is not allowed to leave the hotel now."
"Peach-colored" Izadro's face turned even darker.
yesterday.
Through the probing and contact with "Black" Pavel, and the information brought back by Captain Tang, it is possible that the negotiations with the Theocracy have failed.
This made "Pink" Isadro happy for a while.
The enemy negotiations failed.
It will naturally only benefit their Holy Kingdom.
This time, the purpose of coming here was nominally to seek an explanation from the Theocracy. But since the negotiations between Captain Tang and the Theocracy broke down, it doesn't make much sense to seek an explanation. The most important thing is to leave the Theocracy with Captain Tang.
And now.
It was impossible for them to leave.
We just broke down the talks yesterday and this happened today.
If it weren't for the fact that Chief Justice Gulide had an extremely high status, "Pink" Izadro would have suspected that the Theocracy was setting up this trap on purpose.
All of a sudden!
The atmosphere in the field became a little subtle.
slam-la-
The sound of armor rubbing against each other and heavy boots stepping on the ground made a vibration.
Hundreds of soldiers from the Theocracy came from all directions and surrounded the Holy Kingdom. Each soldier stared at the people of the Holy Kingdom with uncontrollable anger.
Although Chief Justice Gulide is in charge of the judiciary of the Theocracy, his personal fame and prestige are high.
Moreover, his "friendly" and "equal" personal image has left a very good impression in the hearts of ordinary people in the church.
Now with the sudden death of Attorney General Gurid,
How could the soldiers of the Theocracy have any good attitude towards the people of the Holy Kingdom?
"That old guy's death has nothing to do with us!"
Remedios spoke in a cold voice.
As soon as these words came out.
The hostility of the surrounding soldiers became even stronger.
The corners of Clementine's mouth curved upwards in an interesting way. She had no intention of intervening at all. Instead, she hoped that Remedios, that stupid woman, would come into direct conflict with the Theocracy.
That would be so interesting!
These ordinary soldiers are dead.
Pink Isaacdro and Black Pavel's faces changed slightly. They stood behind Remedios and took precautions.
A group of soldiers held their weapons nervously.
The three people in front of him were powerful men who had entered the "hero realm". If a conflict really occurred, not to mention their small number of people, even an army of thousands of people would be slaughtered completely.
"It's so lively."
A faint and gentle chuckle came from the VIP hotel.
A figure in a white priest robe walked out of the door and looked at the people standing in opposition: "Are you planning to start a war between the two countries?"
“We were also surprised by the Attorney General’s incident.”
"Everyone in the Church, please accept my condolences. If there is anything you need my cooperation with, I will do my best."
Tang Zheng walked to a position not far from Remedios, glanced at Clementine who was secretly encouraging him, and said gently: "Captain Remedios, are you interested in having a cup of tea with me?"
Face the invitation.
"Okay." The angry Remedios looked much better, regained some of his pride, and nodded.
——Room living room.
Remedios and the other two sat on the sofas on both sides.
Remedios had a somewhat erratic look in his eyes, looking around the spacious living room from time to time. Pink Izadro and Black Pavel both had their brows slightly furrowed, and it was unclear what they were thinking about.
Obviously, what happened today made the two of them notice something unusual.
Pure white porcelain teacups were placed on the table.
"The black tea provided by the Church is very good. Maybe I can ask for some when I leave the Church."
Tang Zheng chuckled and spoke, picking up the teapot on the table and tilting it. Amber tea flowed out of the spout, emitting hot steam.
"It is indeed a high-quality black tea, but it is still a little inferior to the high-quality black tea of our Holy Kingdom."
Remedios raised his chin and said disparagingly:
"The taste is a little astringent. If we can use our Holy Kingdom's black tea with the fruit slices, it will have a unique fruity aroma."
"If you like it, Captain Tang, we can give you some next time you come to our Holy Kingdom."
"Really?" Tang Zheng simply smiled when he heard what Remedios said.
"Pink" Isadro sighed slightly, he didn't care whether it was black tea or not.
The situation before me is really weird.
"Captain Tang, is the Chief Justice, Mr. Gulide, really dead?"
"Peach Color" Isadro's eyes were solemn, with a faint cold light flashing through them. He wondered if there was any trickery involved.
After all, this matter was only heard from the people of the Holy Kingdom, and its authenticity is questionable. Perhaps it was just to restrict them.
"There shouldn't be any lies."
Tang Zheng put down the teapot in his hand, brought the teacup in front of him, and shook his head:
"What Miss Clementine said may have some falsehood, but the behavior of those Theocracy soldiers did not seem false."
"Pink" Izadro recalled the hostile looks of the Holy Kingdom soldiers, and his heart sank.
"Things are getting a little troublesome, Captain Tang."
Isaacdro said solemnly, "According to the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the Church as soon as possible."
“Then attack!” Remedios snorted coldly and folded his hands over his chest.
"With the strength of our four heroes, the Theocracy cannot stop us."
"Pink" Izadro was slightly stunned, and he found that this was indeed a solution.
Tang Zheng did not say anything, but just picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip, his expression calm and composed.
The death of Chief Justice Gulide gave him a deeper understanding of the Theocracy!
"Oh, you're asking for too much."
Whether it was the future assassination of Gazef or the long-held hope that the Kingdom would shoulder the responsibility of humanity on that fertile land.
The experiment of retaining the demi-humans in the hilly areas and bringing them into conflict with the Holy Kingdom in order to increase the crisis facing the Holy Kingdom is very telling.
The Church always wants to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, or to plan more through one thing.
To put it nicely, it means wanting to become fat in one go.
"The human race in this world has only a total history of 600 years, so the foundation is indeed far behind." Tang Zheng sighed inwardly.
