Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1193 The True Purpose of the Temple

"call--"

A breeze blew across the endless grassland, creating waves of green and also rippling the hems of a man and a woman's clothes.

The boy and the girl looked at each other from a distance, one with a calm expression and the other with dim eyes.

After a long while, Xiaerti spoke slowly.

"Are you here to ask about the temple?"

Xiaerti's voice was still as clear and cold, but it seemed lifeless.

"You said it yourself." Li Ge said calmly, "As long as I beat you, you will tell me everything."

Charity was silent for a while.

"I already told you."

"You just told me the purpose of this trip to the Temple."

"Isn't this enough?"

"What do you think?"

The two spoke briefly, and it didn't seem like they were having a conversation, but more like a battle.

But there was no longer any fighting spirit in Sharti's eyes, not even a trace of fighting spirit. Seeing Lige standing in front of him with a calm expression, he spoke indifferently after a while.

"What do you want to ask?"

Hearing this, Li Ge answered without hesitation.

"What kind of organization is the Temple?"

“What is the ultimate purpose of this organization?”

"You have done so much, what are you asking for?"

The first and second questions are fundamental, while the third question explains the pure doubts in Lige's mind.

It was unclear whether Xiaerti was thinking or considering. He was silent for a long time before he spoke softly.

"The Temple is a very mysterious organization. Its exact origins cannot be traced because it was founded by its leader, the Heaven Hunter."

"Although I am a Holy Emissary of the Temple, I joined under the recommendation of the "Fire Princess". I am not very interested in the purpose and origin of the Temple, so I am only the last among all the Holy Emissaries."

"It's not just me. Even Tyrant, Basher, and Giga don't know much about the Temple. Only Giant Soldier and Fire Princess know a lot about the Temple. They are also the people that the leader, Sky Hunter, trusts the most."

Although the Holy Envoys are the seven most senior figures in the Temple, in fact, the real decision makers are only "Sky Hunter", "Giant Soldier", and "Fire Princess". The other four are of lower rank among the Holy Envoys, and it is impossible for them to know more about the Temple than the first three.

Including the "Ice Maiden" Shardi, the four lower-ranking saints usually act according to the instructions of the three upper-ranking saints. Therefore, the three people who really decide the action plan of the temple are actually "Sky Hunter", "Giant Soldier" and "Fire Princess". The other four are just more advanced thugs and rarely make any decisions.

Under such circumstances, it is true that Sharti did not know as much about the temple as Lige imagined.

At least, she didn't know the specific origins of the temple.

but……

"The purpose of the Temple is to bring about an unprecedented revolution in the Akasha continent."

Xiaerdi told Lige about this.

"revolution?"

Liger raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Xiaerti said calmly: "Once upon a time, there was only one kingdom in the Akasha continent."

"During the ancient magic civilization period, all of humanity was ruled by one king. Although the continent at that time could not be called peaceful, the only external enemy was monsters."

"In modern times, four major countries and many smaller countries are scattered across the continent, competing with each other, causing disputes everywhere, and countless people have become victims of war."

“We think that this world is distorted.”

Therefore, a revolution is needed.

“The mainland doesn’t need so many countries.”

"One nation is enough to rule over mankind."

"Just like the ancient magical civilization that once existed."

The purpose of the temple, or rather the purpose of the holy envoys, is to restore the continent to its former state.

"So you captured refugee slaves everywhere, used living humans as materials, and transformed them into magic dolls in order to achieve the unification of the continent and liberate all mankind from the endless war?"

Li Ge couldn't help but sneer.

“It’s really a revolution of my own.”

Of course, Lige would not be blinded by such seemingly lofty ideas.

He did not forget what happened in Mapros Territory, nor did he forget how those magic puppets came about, nor did he forget what Giga did in the royal capital of Yeruf.

Everything they did was based on a lot of sacrifices, not just sacrificing themselves, but sacrificing others.

Sacrificing others to achieve your own noble ideals?

To put it nicely, this means that people who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. To put it bluntly, this means that a whore still wants to be a virtuous woman.

You are so generous and great, have you ever asked for the opinions of those you sacrificed?

It's just a different way of making ordinary people continue to live in dire straits.

"This is what Tianju has been telling us since we joined." Xiaerti was not irritated by Lige's attitude. Instead, she acted as if it had nothing to do with her. She said, "I am not interested in the so-called revolution, nor in the future situation of the continent. I just joined because Huoji invited me."

This is indeed Sharti's style.

It would be most discordant if this cold Valkyrie suddenly showed concern for the situation on the continent, the future of mankind, and developed compassion for the general public.

The only reason why she joined the temple was because "Fire Princess" invited her.

"It seems that you have a deep relationship with that "Fire Princess"?"

Lige looked at Shardi with some surprise.

In fact, he found it hard to believe that this cold Valkyrie would actually care so much about someone.

"...She is special." Xia Erti lowered her voice a little and said, "She is the only one who has never treated me with any feelings mixed with foreign things from the beginning to the end."

The reason why Sharte was so attached to "Fire Princess" was simply this.

Just as "Fire Princess" once said, extraordinary senses gave Sharla an amazing intuition, allowing her to easily perceive what emotions people close to her have towards her.

Therefore, Xiaerti's childhood was like that and became the cold one she is now.

The current queen who brought her to the Queen's Palace was attracted by her bloodline and potential, but "Giga" was attracted by her as a person.

Only "Fire Princess" is not like this.

Shardi never told anyone that she felt pure care and deep love from that person.

It was a pure emotion without any impurities, as if he was doting on his own daughter.

So, it was no surprise that Shardi indulged herself in the tenderness of "Fire Princess".

no way.

She was just a person who had been treated as a tool since she was a child and had never enjoyed true maternal love...

"And then?" Liger continued, "What are you going to do to achieve the so-called revolution you mentioned?"

This is how Sharti answered this question.

"The sacred beast enshrined in the temple is said to possess a power far more powerful and terrifying than its current state."

Shardi stared at Liger and spoke word by word.

"If you want to unleash that power, you must gather together all the technological crystals passed down from ancient magic civilizations."

"These technological achievements passed down from ancient magic civilizations are sealed in ancient ruins."

"As long as we explore the ancient ruins, find all the crystals, and then go through a large-scale liberation ceremony, we can then let the sacred beast return to its essence."

After hearing this, Lige finally understood why Sharti and the people from the Temple had been actively sneaking into various ancient ruins and plundering them.

It turned out that they wanted to gather together the technological crystallizations passed down from the ancient magic civilization in order to hold a large-scale liberation ceremony to restore the underground monster Yaraklon to its original nature.

"When I met you in the ancient ruins of Reinnail before, you were doing this, right?"

Liger remembered the strange box he had snatched from Shardi at that time.

"That's right." Xiaerti said coldly: "After I failed here, I went there again and collected the runes of the Nibelung Pillar again."

That is one of the technological crystallizations.

"As long as we gather all the necessary technological crystals, conduct the liberation ceremony, and return the sacred beasts to their true nature, the temple will have the power to sweep across the entire continent."

"Add to that the endless army of magic puppets, heretic assassins, the infected spawned by countless holy objects, and the abyss aura. No country on the continent will be able to stop the Temple."

"The Temple can take this opportunity to restore order on the continent and establish a new kingdom."

That is the purpose of the temple.

"Then why did you come to this secluded place?" Li Ge frowned and asked, "Could it be that there are also the technological crystals you need here?"

"No, there are none here." Xiaerti shook his head and said, "All the technological crystals were left in the outside world. There are none in the shelter."

"We are here because the collection of technological crystals has been basically completed, and the official launch ceremony will be held soon."

"In order to prevent the Hidden World from suddenly getting in the way, the leader, "Tianshu", wants to destroy the teleportation magic circle, so that the people in the Hidden World cannot go to the outside world."

This purpose has been fully accomplished by the temple.

If the Temple officially launches the ceremony and starts the revolution, then even if the Hidden World has the most powerful combat force, it is afraid that it will not be able to participate.

"What's the other purpose?" Li Ge asked, "Aren't you still looking for something?"

Compared with the previous purpose, this purpose actually concerns Lige more.

But what Lige didn't expect was that Xiaerti himself also frowned.

"I don't know what that thing is." Xiaerti actually said: "The only person who knows the specific information about that thing is "Fire Princess", and the other Holy Envoys just came here to cooperate with her."

"But I heard from Fire Princess that even if we can't find that thing, it won't affect our revolution."

"That doesn't seem to be something necessary for the revolution, but the leader, "Tianshu", cares about that thing very much, so he asked us to come here to look for it."

Lige's eyes suddenly flickered.

He was 80% sure that the leader of the temple, "Tianshu", knew about the existence of dimensional energy, and also knew that the former temple priests had sealed the dimensional energy left over from the dimensional cube that fell out of the world here, which was why he asked "Huoji" and others to come and look for it specifically.

Although it is not an object that can affect the revolution, it is a magical dimensional energy, and the ambitious people who know of its existence will definitely want to obtain it.

Even if they don't know the magic of dimensional energy, as long as they know that the temple priests once sealed something related to "God" here, ambitious people will want to get it.

The question is, why does that "Sky Hunter" know the existence of dimensional energy and know that it is sealed here?

"Who is that 'Tianju'?"

Li Ge finally asked this question.

however……

"I don't know." Xiaerdi said indifferently, "It's not just me. Even Tyrant, Basher, Giga and even Fire Princess don't know the leader's true identity."

"There is only one person who knows the leader's true identity."

"That is the Temple's only strategic magician of the structural system - the 'Giant'."

Li Ge's heart suddenly became active.

"A strategic-level magician of the construction department...?"

There are a total of eight strategic-level magicians in the entire Akasha continent.

Among them, there are two in the Kingdom of Jinas, two in the Kingdom of Rebru, only one in the Kingdom of Queen Tistis, and the remaining three are all in the Kingdom of Vokri.

And Yuli once told Lige that among the eight strategic-level magicians today, four were transformation magicians, two were manipulation magicians, two were construction magicians, and there was no interference magician at all.

As for the only two construction magicians, one is in the Kingdom of Reburu and the other is in the Kingdom of Vokri.

"Who is it?"

Li Ge said so.

"The one from the Kingdom of Leiburu." Xiaerti had no intention of hiding anything, and said calmly, "By the way, the four lower-ranking Holy Envoys of the Temple were all introduced by the two upper-ranking Holy Envoys."

"Qian Zhao and I were introduced to the Temple by Fire Princess."

"And Tyrant and Serpent were introduced by Giant Soldier."

In this way, the situation in the temple became much clearer.

First of all, the leader "Tianshu" should be the one with the highest status.

After he established the temple, he first recruited "Giant Soldier" and "Fire Princess", so these two people are his most trusted people and can be considered his direct subordinates.

However, compared to "Fire Princess", the "Giant Soldier" is obviously more closely connected with "Sky Hunter", so "Fire Princess" does not know the true identity of "Sky Hunter", but the "Giant Soldier" does.

Then, the two of them each introduced the people they liked and made these people directly subordinate to them.

"Fire Princess" is the recommender and direct supervisor of "Ice Girl" and "Giga".

"Giant" is the introducer and direct superior of "Tyrant" and "Snake".

It is said that the seven holy messengers are the top level, but in fact, the power structure of the top level is basically a pyramid.

The person at the top of this pyramid is the leader - "Tenshu".
