quicksilver blood

Chapter 245 An Early Jihad

The blood-like sunset has not completely set, and the moon has already risen from the horizon.

The remaining fireflies on the sacred ceremony last night were still floating in the city like ghosts, and the temperature of the whole city rose a bit.The area where Claude descended has turned into the holy land of Tyre.If it is a priest of Tyre, just standing on it, the power of the divine spell can be increased by one level, just like being in a church.

Even ordinary people can feel the warmth of the afternoon sun shining on their bodies, anxiety and pain will be soothed, and physical diseases will be directly cured.

But at this moment, the people in the Holy City had no time to praise the miracle.

As Jupiter IV said last night.People knelt to pray, listened to the revelation of the gods, and then became angry.

A saint died from the betrayer's dagger and poison - this was an unforgivable sin.What is even more unforgivable is that the criminal who assassinated the saint was actually the wizard of the White Tower.

What unforgivable crimes the wizards of the White Tower committed thousands of years ago, any devout believer can memorize them all.

That is written in Chapter 1 of all the gods' scriptures, common sense that all priests of the gods must understand.

It is written in the scriptures that before the war of the gods began thousands of years ago, the world was harmonious and happy, everyone could eat enough, and everyone had something to do.Under the common guidance of the gods, the king is pious and wise, the guards are brave and loyal, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This harmony seems to last until the end of eternity.

However, there are some people who have been bewitched by the devil and are not satisfied with the treatment they have received.

They cursed at the sky and demanded that the gods fulfill their demands.

The generous and merciful god agreed.Thus their status is elevated.

However, these villains who made their deal with the devil are still not satisfied.Even if the gods let them become mortal kings, they still hold the wooden staffs and swords in their hands high and point them straight at the sky.

Only then did the gods realize that their goal had been the gods themselves from the start.

These evil sons who hold high the evil banner of "evolution" and call on all kinds of Ya'an to unite and rebel against the rule of the gods, the biggest heretics in this land, are the predecessors of the White Tower Wizard.

In the end, their arrogance and greed finally angered the gods.So the gods sent immortal envoys to attack the wizards in the lower realm, and the wizards committed unforgivable heresy in order to fight against the envoys.

—they created the undead.

These sorceries, which desecrate the bodies of the dead and hatch evil wills from them, violate the normal laws of life and death.The corpses desecrated by them can no longer return to the kingdom of the gods after death, and the soul can only stay in the world forever.

But fortunately, there are still some undead souls who, after escaping from the evil control of the wizard, found their own wisdom and re-entered the embrace of the gods.Although their desecrated corpses prevent them from sleeping peacefully again, their hearts that are in harmony with the gods can at least give their gradually decaying souls a little comfort.

The Holy Scriptures use a lot of space to describe the relationship between witchcraft and the undead.Regarding the topic of what kind of undead is evil and what kind of undead can be redeemed, there are more or less relevant discussions in churches everywhere. Different gods have different basis for judging whether the undead can be saved.

However, the only certainty is that only wizards are unforgivable.

In the holy book, the Silver Queen's undead army was defeated by the envoys of the gods. The defeated wizards made three major oaths to the gods: no war, poverty, and secrecy. They swore that the wizards of the White Tower would never initiate any form of war again. Witchcraft must not be used for profit, and any wizard must not take the initiative to recruit apprentices...

At this point, the gods forgave the wizards and withdrew their troops, considering that they were also their subjects after all.

At least that's how it's written in the holy scriptures.

Thus, the residents of the Holy City were completely enraged by the Wizard of the White Tower.After Jupiter IV subsequently launched a speech, this anger was further condensed.

More powerful than the tide, more blazing than the sun.

Driven by this emotion, even though the sun was about to set, the city of Frankfurt was still as noisy as noon.

On the contrary, it was completely silent in the domed cathedral.

The thirteen holy ones sat around the round table, but they were like thirteen phantoms, without making any sound.

"Everyone, you must have felt the holy power coming from the White Tower."

Jupiter IV opened his mouth and said slowly.

He squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and the deep-set eye sockets made the eyes of the Pope of Tyre even deeper.

"That's extremely pure holy power... If I'm not mistaken, another saint was martyred there."

The words of Jupiter IV fell softly, and they were extremely clear in the silent conference hall like a different space.

At this moment, the Pope of the God of Darkness suddenly said: "Just now, my bishop sent me a message... The place where the saint who didn't know who the god was was martyred is enough to sweep the White Tower to four quarters." One of the raging holy flames almost turned the surroundings into scorched earth."

"The wizards in the White Tower have gone crazy. They are searching for priests everywhere. Although my children can still hold on for a while, I am afraid there is not much time."

"...Also, my seventh cardinal just returned to Nix's arms."

"Yes. May he rest in peace."

Jupiter IV lowered his eyes, his tone was flat.

Behind him, a scorching golden sun gradually rose: "Let's start the meeting. Your Majesty Tire wants to announce something."

Hearing this, the faces of the other thirteen popes changed more or less.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the dome cathedral changed instantly.

Thirteen great auras emerged one by one, and a huge bust appeared behind their Pope. With the appearance of the thirteen gods, their Pope's figure gradually faded.

However, Thiel did not appear.

Correspondingly, the figure of Jupiter IV did not disappear in the air like other popes, but shone brightly with golden light, and his body seemed to turn into glass.

That is the attunement between God’s chosen people and God.If it reaches this level, it is not impossible to exercise the authority of the Holy Light as a human being.

Now, Jupiter is not just the pope or the elect—he can now say that he is Tire's representative on earth.

The expressions of the other thirteen gods finally changed.

"The first step of the plan can be said to have failed. But it was also half successful."

The double voice uttered from the mouth of Jupiter IV, as if with an echo.

Half old, half young.

Divine authority is incomplete.All the gods present knew this.

But to be attuned to this level with incomplete authority means that Tire has completely transcended other gods and has become a higher existence.

"Everyone, let me finish my words before you talk," "Jupiter IV" said slowly, "Because of the big changes in the White Tower, I have some things that you need to know."

"There has been a great turmoil in the White Tower. It is already impossible for Nix's believers to sneak into the White Tower and destroy the barrier without anyone knowing. But we must not just press the main force directly in this way— —That means we have to use the main force to consume the wizards' traps. This is obviously not worthwhile."

"I suggest that you continue to let the believers of the official rank and the black iron rank enter the White Tower. The purpose is not to destroy or start a war—as long as they enter. Then hoard them and wait for the opportunity."

"At the same time, I call on believers from all over the world to spontaneously form an army and come here. If the heretics of the White Tower can't stand it and attack these people, let them consume the vitality of the White Tower first, and destroy the barrier from the inside as much as possible. , and at the same time force the White Tower to use the barrier."

"And if the wizards have not attacked, let these believers continue to destroy the enchantment of the White Tower from the inside according to the previous plan. Unlike before, this time it is not necessary for all of them to be composed of La and Nix believers. . If you want to participate, go ahead...but remember, before the White Tower uses the big barrier, the main force must not act rashly."

The voice of Jupiter IV came with a double echo: "Under the martyrdom of that saint, we no longer need to hide our intentions."

"They want war, we'll give them war."
