Realm of Power

The setting sun shines like a shadow, shining through the cross-shaped gap at the top of the ancient corridor, forming golden spots on the ground. Everything is tranquil, and the wind blows through the woods outside the corridor, making a comforting sound.

This is the Mariaea corridor leading to the residence of High Priest Palstina,

Since the explosion in the Supreme Temple the day before yesterday, Parstina, who lost her residence, has temporarily lived here, because there is only one corridor connecting it, which gives people a sense of direction in terms of safety. The Templar Knights' defense level has also been mentioned as the highest. The Temple The 10 Mamunuk captains among the knights take turns guarding this corridor.

On the periphery of the corridor, there is a small team of Templar Knights patrolling back and forth. Sharp is the Mamunuk Knight on duty today. He squatted on the stone platform in the corridor, looked up boredly at the sunshine outside the corridor, and calculated secretly. It's time to change the shift, and the person who will replace him is Bias, a guy who is famous for his alcoholism. The time has passed, but this lazy guy hasn't come yet. "Asshole, this guy must be drunk again!" "

Sharp glanced at the empty corridor with disappointment, stood up from the stone platform angrily, and patted the dust on his body. At this time, the crisp sound of "stomp" echoed in the dark corridor,

Knight Sharp withdrew his gaze from a distance and began to look nervously in the direction of the footsteps. In the corridor where no one was usually walking, he suddenly heard a ticking sound. No wonder the hair on his body stood up.

Such light footsteps definitely do not belong to that drunkard Bias. That guy always likes to hum unknown songs and stumbles with the smell of alcohol. It is such a rhythmic sound. "Who ! "Who is there?" Sharp asked loudly, and the footsteps suddenly stopped, and finally a mature and seductive voice came from the opposite side of the corridor. "It's me, Gwendolyn from the Southern Temple!" "

"Captain Gwendolen?" Sharp asked uncertainly

"Yes, it's me. Bias was drunk, and the temple temporarily decided to let me take his place!"

Following the sound, I saw in the light a beautiful female knight wearing exquisite and close-fitting female armor. She was holding a package in her right hand and a short silver knight's gun in her left hand. She walked in the light like a willow swinging in the wind. The beautiful figure is revealed minute by minute, which has a mysterious allure.

"Then tell me the password. Captain Gwendolyn." Sharp was dazzled by what he saw. As the Templar in charge of the high priest, he was naturally very alert and would not relax his vigilance because of this unexpected appearance.

Especially when there were rumors that the explosion was related to the Southern Temple branch, the oncoming Gwendolyn was a Mamunuk who had just arrived from the Southern Temple yesterday. She was not only beautiful, but also skilled in martial arts. high. There are almost no opponents in the temple. I don’t know how many Mamunuk knights dreamed of her.

It is said that his father is a high-ranking noble from the south, and his mother is a Mamunuk knight captain from the north. Therefore, it has the beauty of southern Salander women and the grandeur of northern Salander women at the same time.

In the past, even Sharp would not be able to bear to look at it a few more times, but today. The other party appeared in such a strange way, which made him feel an ominous atmosphere, that feeling. It was like feeling a dangerous snake approaching, and the bundle on the ground was really eye-catching. Although he didn't know what was inside, Sharp smelled a hint of danger inside.

"The order came too hastily, and I received it temporarily, so the command..." Gwendolyn first put the unknown package in her hand on the ground, then stood up smartly, and said with an aggrieved look, " So, you don't have a password!"

Sharp's tone began to turn cold and he said sternly, "If you are really asked by the temple to take over, you should know today's password! I can't leave this place to you. Go back, Gwendolyn, you can't get through without the password." Here! ""If there is no password, I must go there?" Gwendolyn did not care about the tunnel at all. Instead, she smiled coldly on her pretty face, which seemed to say, you can't stop me with your strength!

"What do you mean by this?" Sharp was stunned for a moment.

"Captain Sharp, you must have heard the rumors about selecting saints from civilians, right!" Seeing Sharp's hesitation, Gwendolyn took a few steps forward with a sad expression, her white body-hugging armor outlined her toned and attractive figure. He stood up and said solemnly, "In this situation, only High Priest Parstina personally comes forward. In order to keep the empire's rumors at bay, for the sake of the temple, let me go! "My duty is to guard this place!" Sharp shook his head resolutely and said sternly, "As for the saint's problem, then It is the decision of the top management of the temple. I believe that High Priest Palstina will give the temple a bright future! "

Sharp paused for a moment, bit his lip and said, "Listen to my advice, Gwendolyn, leave immediately. I will pretend that I didn't see anything! As a Templar, I can understand your mood, but I can't understand it either." Please abide by the code of the Templars, I don't want to see you go to the dark side!" "It seems that there is no room for change!" Gwendolyn's beautiful crescent-like eyes flashed with a chill, and she raised her head. beautiful jade Rong, sighed, "Whatever you think!" Taking a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed across Sharp's face, but if you must pass, then please step on my body. "Big hands full of veins and rocks, He slowly pulled out the one-and-a-half meter long sword of the knight from his waist, and a cold murderous aura spread from Sharp's body. The Mamunuk knight's individual combat ability is not inferior to that of the knight, "In this case, That would only offend! "Gwendolyn on the opposite side shook her head regretfully. If it was not necessary, she would not want to compete with Sharp. As one of the three captains of the Mamunuk Knights, Sharp's combat effectiveness can definitely be ranked among the top among the Templars. Three, "Go back, now there is still a chance to turn back!" ! "

Sharp's face was as heavy as if water was dripping from his face. He gave a sympathetic word of persuasion, slowly raised the knight's sword, and assumed a defensive posture. He just wanted to let the other party retreat in spite of the difficulties.

After all, there are patrols nearby, and they will rush over as soon as they hear the sound. No matter what the other party's purpose is, everyone was once a Templar. Moreover, what the other party is doing now is such a stupid act. "With the guidance of the Holy Light, there has never been a word to look back!"

Gwendolyn opened her left and right hands back and forth, like pulling out an invisible bow and arrow. The arrow cluster was a silver knight's short spear about half a meter long in her right hand, wrapped in a bewitching and toned body metal armor and a long tail hanging behind her. The red cloaks seemed to be pushed by some invisible air current. "It was the spear art of the Southern Temple!" "

Sharp's eyes narrowed slightly. The posture the other party put up came from a sect of the Mamunuk in the south. This sect has very few people, but it has produced three leaders of the Mamunuk Knights. So it is very famous,

Bang! "The crisp sound of collision echoed in the corridor, and the cold light mingled,

Puff, there was a sound of a sharp weapon being pierced, and a blood arrow shot to the wall. Sharp's entire body was hit hard and hit the wall behind. The blood was his. A short spear pierced his chest, and blood came out like spring water.

"how so!"

Sharp stared blankly at the gun tail that was still trembling as he was nailed to the wall.

What hit him was not the half-meter knight's short spear in Gwendolen's hand. The short spear flew past his shoulder. It was not the spear fighting technique of the Southern Temple, but the posture was a bit similar.

But it was this posture that made me think it was a spear attack. The real killing move came from the cloak behind Gwendoline.

Why did a short gun shoot out of the cloak? Sharp didn't know what happened until his death. From inside the cloak, a girl who looked somewhat similar to Gwendolyn slowly walked out. She glanced coldly at the nailed man. On the wall, Sharp, who was still staring at death, said, "I never expected that there are still such stubborn and loyal people in this Sky Temple. It's a pity for your loyalty." "I dug a grave for you!" "Sister, there is no need to kill him, he is a loyal knight after all!" Gwendolyn next to her said with some dissatisfaction, "We don't have much time, Your Majesty is still waiting for us." What's the news? This is a transaction of 500,000 gold coins. I'm really worried about whether that fat guy will default on it!

Ignoring Gwendolyn's complaints next to her, the girl picked up the package on the ground and walked forward. Her beautiful golden hair was like a waterfall, hanging down to her straight and attractive arms. With every step the girl took, she seemed to be It has a waist that trembles slightly like a spirit and cannot be grasped. The metallic armor, two slender white legs, wearing knight's high spiked iron boots with colorful tassels, stepped on the beautiful ground paved with warm stones, making a crisp and swaying sound. That alluring sound is like a drum beating in the dark

No one knows their names. In Dark Thorn, they are called the dark twins...

In a certain room in the mountain temple, it was so calm that he couldn't seem to feel the passage of time. The fat man raised the water glass in his hand with a leisurely look, held it with both hands, and blew gently on the white air coming out of the mouth of the cup. It was blowing, and the bright sunshine shone in through the glass of the window next to it, and the woods outside were rustling in the wind. Looking out from the window of the room, the boundless vast land spreads from the feet to the distance, like a large emerald green carpet. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if it is as beautiful as a dream. "Your Majesty" Statunko came in from the door excitedly. He carefully looked around and saw that Fatty was the only one, so he said

"Those people did move. According to the report of the secret sentry, there were about 50 of them, one-third of them were Mamunuks from the Holy Land, and the others were high-level priests. It seemed that the entire upper echelon of the temple was shaken, as As your Majesty expected, these high-ranking priests want to unite to force the High Priest Szina to marry him. Mamunuk is responsible for cutting off the connection between the High Priest's residence and the outside world, and the priests begin to march towards the High Priest's residence. I believe it will soon You will find that there is actually nothing inside Man! That expression must be very exciting!" "I had already thought that they would do this!" The fat man smiled nonchalantly. "If you want to force me to go to the palace, keep a close eye on me. I also want to see them go around. It looks like, it’s a pity, it’s not necessarily that I will get nothing, it’s not my habit to come and go, I have prepared some interesting things!” “Interesting things?” Statunko blinked, his face was stunned. After a moment, I had no idea what His Majesty Falcon was talking about.

"Let me ask you, the Supreme Temple exploded, and the murderer has not been found so far. Who can guarantee that the murderer will not come again?" The fat man glanced out with a faint look, and tapped the table with his hand easily.

"Explosion, His Majesty said that the priests will be blown away..."

Statunko had a dark look on his face, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This was too cruel. The entire upper level of the temple was completely clean. Moreover, this matter was blamed on many empires. It has already exploded once before. Who can say that it won’t happen a second time? Let’s talk about the priest. What are they going to do? Force the uterus. This kind of thing can only be done but cannot be said. Even if there are people who survive, they will only think that the explosion was aimed at Parstina and was just happened to be caught by the priests. No one would have thought that it would actually be waiting for them there.

"I said nothing! No one can predict the enemy's cunning!"

The fat man pretended to be indignant. He would not admit such a thing even if he was beaten to death. The two sisters who were behind the attack were responsible for the assassination. They would definitely not leave any loopholes. Thinking that the entire temple's top management would be blamed from now on, the fat man became angry. I feel a sense of relief. I have completely eliminated the upper level of the temple. When the saint is determined tomorrow, the power of the sky temple will no longer be able to resist the empire."

After sending Statunko away, the fat man went to another courtyard of the temple. When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Palstina coming to the door angrily in a white sacrificial robe. "What's going on with that notice?" When did I ever agree to such a ridiculous proposal for a saint to be chosen from among the common people!”

This morning, Parstina also saw the notice for selecting a saint, and she almost collapsed.

What does it mean that saints have been selected from civilians with the consent of the temple's senior officials? That is simply nonsense. Even I, the high priest, don't know about it, let alone other priests. The fat man's bold behavior, It is simply a frame-up of the entire temple,

"The teachings of the temple do not stipulate that saints cannot be selected from common people!" An unscrupulous person said calmly, "Since there is no distinction between rich and poor in the eyes of the God of the Sky, then choose yourself from common people. What's wrong with the saint? I'm just carrying out the teachings of the God of the Sky." "How can the priests obey a saint who has no noble blood? How can you let her serve as the high priest?" Parstina was angry. looked at him and asked unceremoniously

"This..." The fat man was speechless for a moment, but he could always say that the priest had already been taken care of by him! To be continued
