A Million Possible

Chapter 686 Fateful “Divine Enlightenment” (4,000 words)

An invitation to the church?

Hearing the other party’s words, Cheng Lin obviously showed a surprised look, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

I only arrived in the Southern Territory yesterday, and according to Lord Nolan, the “templar” should not be close to here, how would the other party know that own exists?

Before he could ask a question, Nolan, who was standing by, said:

“The priest Amborio was aware of your arrival yesterday, so I visited late at night and asked about this. I did not hide it. After that, he reported the matter to the church headquarters through the church’s special communication method, and received it this morning. reply.”

It turned out to be like this… No wonder… Cheng Lin suddenly felt that the movement caused by his arrival yesterday was not small, and being known by this organization was not accidental, but inevitable.

At this moment, another message appeared in my mind:

[Congratulations on completing the task (2)][Task (Part Three): You have received an invitation from the “temple” and decided to follow along and talk with the high priest]

…

Well, the plot arrangement is clearly deduced.

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Cheng Lin nodded and smiled under the gaze of the two, “Okay, when will we leave?”

…

…

The order of the “temple” naturally did not dare to delay the sacrifices in this small territory, and arranged the itinerary on the same day. Cheng Lin hesitated whether to move forward with the sword. It was not difficult, just got a map.

However, considering the deduction once, I didn’t care about these times. I had the right to visit, so I gave up, just handed it over to the sacrificial arrangement called “Amboliou”.

In the afternoon, Cheng Lin said goodbye to Nolan, and then took the carriage arranged by the church, all the way north, and quickly arrived at the wharf near the territory.

As the biggest support for the transportation of materials in the entire Antarctic, the construction of the wharf is quite solid. This time to the “templar” headquarters is also a waterway. In this era without airplanes, it can be regarded as a faster means of transportation.

“Please.” Leading Cheng Lin into a specially arranged cabin in a sailing ship carrying cargo, the Amboliou priest immediately exited the door and went to rest next door without having too much conversation with Cheng Lin. It can be seen that , He was very nervous under his calm appearance.

…

The sails were opened, and riding the warm summer wind, the sailboat swiftly left the southern collar along the river and moved further north.

Cheng Lin sat in the cabin with nothing to do, so he often walked to the deck to look at the surrounding scenery, but also leisurely.

According to the map, this waterway runs through most cities in the entire kingdom. Yes, for a country with a large province in this territory, most large cities were built along this river and left. Cheng Lin also saw many scenery along the way in the remote southern region.

The further north you go, the larger the cities along the way. Although they haven’t landed, there are more ships on the river. The city buildings on the riverbank are lined up, giving it a strange atmosphere.

Enjoying the beautiful scenery in this way, in the early morning of the third day, Cheng Lin and his party arrived at the royal capital of the Dipisbo Kingdom.

“Woo…”When he heard the heavy whine of the huge bronze horn erected on the pier, Cheng Lin walked out of the cabin, and he suddenly felt bright.

In the early morning, the red sun rose, shining brilliantly on the vast and wide river bank, and an unprecedentedly huge pier, like a crouching giant, broke into his eyes.

In the distance, the towering city gates and towering buildings all reveal the style of the royal capital.

“Your Excellency, we have arrived in the capital.” The priest named Amboliou came out and said.

“Well, are you going to go ashore next?” Cheng Lin asked.

“Yes, the headquarters of the’Sanctuary’ is at the northern end of the capital, and we will be able to arrive at the latest in the afternoon.” The sacrificial ritual of the southern leader seemed to be relieved. Although there was no communication along the way, Cheng Lin’s existence Obviously brought him great pressure.

Cheng Lin smiled and nodded, breathing in the fresh air, feeling the warm sunlight coming over, and the noisy shouts of the workers and shipowners on the dock and nearby ships were in his ears, and his heart felt peaceful.

“Please.”

Waiting for the cargo ship at their feet to dock, the sailors put down the planks, Cheng Lin and Aporio walked down, and then followed the flow of people through the towering city gate and entered the royal capital of the Dipisbo Kingdom.

Walking on the “Road to the King’s City”, as far as I can see, people with peculiar clothes and styles are everywhere. On the contrary, Cheng Lin, who is dressed and looks strange, has also attracted the attention of many civilians.

Cheng Lin also didn’t know if the royal family knew about the arrival of his number one person, but it was obvious that ordinary people didn’t know, which made him let out a sigh of relief and jokingly said to the priest beside him:

“I was worried before, being watched.”

The ordinary-faced Aporio sacrifice smiled and said:

“We think you probably don’t like being disturbed.”

“Indeed.” Cheng Lin said without disguising.

The two talked and left. When they passed through a section of the city, they suddenly saw people gathering, and there was a faint sound of playing. It was very festive, and many people watched.

“What’s that?” Cheng Lin asked curiously.

Amborio took a look and explained: “It should be a certain pioneer who was awarded the honor, so he held a celebration event at his house.”

“Is that so? Are similar awards frequent?” Cheng Lin asked.

At the same time, he remembered the information obtained from the conversation with Prince Nolan before that-those who have achieved good results in pioneering territories will be legally awarded honors, and the pioneered territories will be incorporated into the territory of the kingdom.

“It’s very rare in the past few years. It has gradually increased in the past two months. It often happens once every two months.” Amberio sniffed his nose, seemingly not quite comfortable with the air in the capital, and said.

“So that’s it.” Cheng Lin nodded and didn’t alarm anyone. He just watched the excitement for a while, then followed Ambório and left, then hired a carriage and headed north to the headquarters of the “temple”. The whole process It’s all going well.

…

At about two o’clock in the afternoon, Cheng Lin got up and down from the carriage and looked at the magnificent minaret ahead.

The headquarters of the “Sanctuary” is actually a white tower with a fantastic shape, which is six stories high.

In front of the White Tower, there was a smooth, neat square paved with stone bricks. There were some carriages parked nearby, but it didn’t look lively, much colder than Cheng Lin expected.

“This church is a bit deserted.” Cheng Lin said straightforwardly without concealing it.

The priest on the side shook his head and said: “Although the temple is open to the public, only Transcendent and some nobles usually come, and civilians rarely set foot.”

“Well…” Cheng Lin’s eyes moved, which is not surprising. In Nolan’s previous narration, he heard that this so-called religion is just a mere form, more similar to the Transcendent club, and naturally believes in it. The aspect doesn’t care much.

In particular, the “unknown in the starry sky” that he believes in is also not very close to the people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept it, and the temple does not seem to care about it.

“Please.” Deep in Apollio’s right hand, he made a gesture of please, and he led the way. When the two entered the square, they had already attracted the attention of the concierge.

Those were two young men in gray clergy robes. It seemed that they had already anticipated their arrival. They didn’t ask much, just said: “This is to inform the high priest.” Soon, one person led Cheng Lin. Entered this church.

…

“Boom…boom…”

When Cheng Lin really walked into this church and saw the inside clearly, whether he was already prepared or was a little surprised, the inside of the building was actually more magnificent than the outside.

The “majestic” here refers to the roof that is almost the height of a giant. Walking in a long and narrow corridor, Cheng Lin can clearly perceive the empty space above his head, which can only be shown after passing through at least three floors. Effect.

Inside the building, the walls are golden yellow, as if piled up with gold, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, covered with thick wax, and the dust is not stained, so that Cheng Lin almost has an illusion of walking on the glass.

The classical windows on the walls are closer to decoration. What really provides the light is the wall lamps embedded on the walls and the gems inlaid above the head, all of which make the interior of this church full of a certain fantasy beauty.

The heavy dark red curtains hanging on the windows give people a sense of Sacred.

“Please, the high priest is waiting for you.” The gray-robed clergyman said respectfully, leading Cheng Lin to move on.

The footsteps of the two people stepped on the floor, making a crisp, rhythmic sound.

Cheng Lin had to admit that it was more peaceful here than he expected.

Passing through the corridor, a slowly upward staircase appeared in front of him. The staircase actually spiraled upwards. Cheng Lin walked with his vision raised and found that a starry sky was depicted in an abstract style on the walls of the church hall.

There is indeed no “deity” in the entire church. The shining gems represent the Star, but for some reason, probably because of the color, Cheng Lin has an illusion, as if countless eyes are staring. Own.

“Boom…”

Finally, a brown wooden door appeared in front of the two of them. The gray-robed priest knocked twice, and a calm voice came from inside: “Please come in.”

The door opened silently, and Cheng Lin stepped into it and found that it was a huge room with simple tables and chairs.

An old man dressed in a holy robe with densely patterned patterns sat calmly in a chair.

Behind him is a bookshelf that fills the entire wall, with countless books on it.

The four windows on the side wall let in ray of sunlight, making the room look particularly bright.

“Sit down, you are what Prince Nolan said, the strong man who has awakened from the ruins?” The old man with a regular beard and a typical mixed-race face looked over and stood up and asked.

He is indeed old, but he is very tall and bigger than ordinary people. His eyes are dark and he can’t see the pupils, so he looks a little weird.

His gaze fell on Cheng Lin, as if he had weight. At the same time, Cheng Lin was also looking at the high priest of the “temple”, and keenly noticed that the opponent’s strength was higher than his own.

As for whether it is 8th or 9th rank… it is impossible to measure, unless the two fight against each other or the other party fully demonstrates their strength.Cheng Lin’s heart shuddered slightly, and the secret road owner’s guess was not wrong. There are high-rank powerhouses in this world. In his mind, he recalled the information obtained by asking Amblio on the road down the road, and remembered that the high priest seemed to be called “Ao Alcott”.

“Indeed, but I need to correct it a little bit.” Cheng Lin smiled softly, curling up the corners of his mouth and said.

“Oh?” On the old face of Alcott High Priest, a pair of pitch-black eyes slightly expanded, looking a little scary.

“In front of the high priest, I am still not a strong one.” Cheng Lin answered calmly, and he is still happy to show some respect for deducing the powerful life in the world.

Of course, the weak beings are no exception, and he is especially concerned about this after the conclusion of the dragon civilization deduction.

The High Priest Alcott stunned slightly, and immediately let out a deep laugh, and then raised his wide right hand, signaling Cheng Lin to sit down, and he himself returned to his original position.

Cheng Lin did not shirk off, and took a seat naturally, and immediately heard the old man say with emotion:

“My power is only accumulated over a few years, but it is not a real power. Compared with the powerful humans before the’Era of Catastrophe’, this point of mine is really not worth mentioning.”

After hearing this, Cheng Lin tried to suppress his urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, and ignored the so-called “Era of Cataclysm” before the strong, and turned to earnestly said:

“I was in the South and I also learned about the history of this era. Oh, frankly speaking, I think you may have some misunderstandings about that era.”

Alcott said softly, as if he was very interested, but he didn’t talk deeply about this issue, but asked:

“So, did you really live a thousand years ago?”

“I’m not sure,” Cheng Lin gently shook his head, “My perception of time is inaccurate. In fact, entering this era is an accident.”

His remarks originally meant that he had entered the “time warping force field”. After he thought about it, the high priest would inevitably ask himself for details about the catastrophe.

However, Alcott’s reaction was far beyond Cheng Lin’s expectation. When his voice fell, he listened to the tall old man shaking his head, his eyes deep, staring with those dark, pupilless eyes. Stop him and say:

“Do you really think this is an accident?”

“What do you mean?” The other party’s reaction indeed exceeded Cheng Lin’s expectations.

Immediately, I heard the old man sigh deeply, folded his shriveled hands together, put them on his knees, and said:

“In fact, I am not very surprised about your appearance, because all of this…has been recorded in the great god-tier encyclopedia handed down from the stars.”

After a pause, Alcott suddenly folded his hands together, and said in a pious tone:

“Or, to describe it in more appropriate terms, it should be the revelation of the gods.”

The revelation of the gods…

Hearing these words, Cheng Lin’s expression on his calm face was slightly frozen, and it was not the language of the gods or the high priest’s overly “calm” reaction that caused his emotional change, but…

Hearing the word “revelation”, Cheng Lin almost instantly thought of the deduction of the dragon civilization.

Reminiscent of the words that he had learned from the dragon head Adelaide in the Dusk Dragon Palace.

I remember that at that time, Adelaide once said that the reason it foresaw the arrival of Cheng Lin was because it had received “revelation” from its destiny.

Revelation…and another revelation…

Cheng Lin squinted his eyes, a string in his heart was suddenly touched, he sat up slightly and said, “I wish to hear more!”
