It's dawn now, and darkness still covers the earth.
The huge and majestic imperial city wall is still so clear in the dark. This night, the city is still sleeping, only occasionally those armed security soldiers, in the sound of owls' boots, walk through the street, will make a sound.
In addition, in addition to the Imperial Palace in the center of the imperial capital, there are rare lights in the huge imperial capital.
Of course, there are exceptions.
And the palace towering white tower, is located in the west of the imperial capital of the magic trade union headquarters tower, the magic light burning all year round.
Of course... And the temple of light in the east of the imperial capital!
The majestic temple is the smallest of the three buildings in the imperial capital in terms of scale. It does not occupy a large area of land as the imperial palace does. It does not even have the amazing and exquisite six pointed star shaped overall building after the Magic Union has been repaired from generation to generation.
However, standing under the temple, looking at the dozens of tall steps, the outline of the temple is full of solemnity in the night, which is a kind of dignity left by years of tempering!
Tradition! Under the temple of light, people feel the oppression brought by the "tradition"!
This is a square shaped hall. The reason why the square shape is used means that the temple adheres to the principle that the spokesman of the gods stands on earth: justice!
Although the word "justice" may not be accurate, many people have questioned this so-called "justice" for thousands of years. But... Those voices have long disappeared, or finally returned to silence.
Because... Although the temple of light doesn't have the white tower left in the palace since the Aragorn era, and there is no magic tower with magic light burning all the year round. In front of the main hall of the temple of light, under those dozens of steps, there is another building symbolizing this kind of "justice"!
Fire column!!
This seems to be just a very common stone pillar, because I don't know how many times I have suffered the punishment for thousands of years. The color of the stone pillar is black. Except that it looks wider than the ordinary pillar, this pillar doesn't seem to have much outstanding place.
Can stand under this pillar, you seem to be able to feel that kind of people in the heart of a heavy sense of oppression!
In the temple of light, in the columns of the main hall. The light of a faint torch. But the burning pillar outside the temple stands so quietly in the dark. The traces of fireworks burning on it seem to be a kind of silent telling, telling the tradition of the temple, the solemnity of the temple... And the cruelty of the temple!!
There was silence all around, under the temple in the distance. There are only a few Holy Knights on duty, wearing full armor, standing under the hall. The night covers them, making them look like sculptures, except for the solemn eyes.
And this is the moment. But there was a black figure standing under the stake.
The black robe over his whole body seemed to hide him in the dark all the time, only under his high cloak. Revealed a bunch of eyes, just let him look a little more lively.
This man just quietly looked at the burning pillar in front of him, looking at the traces of fireworks burning for thousands of years. In his eyes, there was a touch of sadness
For a long time, a long sigh finally broke the silence.
"Now I finally understand what the so-called" justice "of the temple is maintained by." The man's voice was very light. Very low, with a trace of sadness in his tone: "it's this pillar, because anyone who doubts the temple's" justice "has been burned to death! All voices of doubt are burned to death. "
The voice seemed to be a whisper, and it seemed to be a kind of mockery.
Just as the man finished his sentence, behind him came an old voice: "are you standing here all night?"
The sound fell. Behind this black robed man. About ten steps away, an old man in a white robe. As if suddenly such a step out of the dark.
The old face was full of deep wrinkles carved by knives and axes, and the skin color seemed very pale, almost weak. But in those eyes, there is a kind of silence that is hard to express.
"Yes, my Lord. I'm here all night. " The man in black standing under the stake seemed to smile: "I think you must feel it, too."
"It's all predestined." The old man in white robe walked up slowly. His steps were staggering and heavy, but his voice was so calm and calm: "I think you should know this better than me."
Finally, the man in black turned around and looked at the old man with a sad look in his eyes. Two people's eyes in the black, as if after a staggered, finally, the man in black step back, slightly owe owe body, line a gift: "yes, Pope, I understand."
The white robed old man, the current Pope of the temple of light in Roland, the spiritual leader of Roland, Paul XVI, looks much weaker than the last appearance. Even his voice seems to be a little weak: "Sphinx is dead, I thought you would have something to say to me."
"What should I say?" The man in black raised his chin slightly, which made the light from afar vaguely reflect on his face, making him show the traces of his chin. The outline of his face was very soft, and his voice was sad, as if it was another kind of singing: "God said," don't be afraid, don't be suspicious, don't be confused. Because everything is predestined. Everything is in the gaze of God's eyes, So, your holiness, I have nothing to say. "
Paul XVI finally revealed a little surprise, he pondered for a moment: "Oedipus, although... All the angels came to the world with the will of the goddess. But I hope you understand that... In the world, I am the master of the church! I am the only spokesperson of goddess in the world! If there is a voice in the temple that is different from mine, then no matter who it is. Are against the will of the goddess! Including you Angels
Oedipus, the man in black, with a faint smile on his lips, bent down again, this time more respectfully: "as you wish, your majesty."
"Good." Paul XVI nodded, as if very satisfied: "Sphinx died... But everything, we are not surprised. As you said just now, "everything is predestined, everything is in the gaze of God's eyes." It's just the death of an angel. I don't want you to do anything to make me dissatisfied! I hope you understand that our biggest enemy now is in the north, not the West! Originally, I didn't agree with this action, but I approved your proposal because of your strong support. Now it seems that your proposal is a mistake. "
Orpheus was smiling, even when he was smiling, his sad eyes. Still unchanged: "Your Majesty, I also ask you to remember that I came to the world with the Sphinx, and they came to this dirty world full of ugliness, in order to fulfill the will of the goddess!"
He said. He suddenly raised his arms and opened them, and said in his mouth, "all the angels who come will do their best to help you. Repel those northern alien who will invade the mainland in the future!! However, don't forget the second will of the goddess... "
His hands suddenly turned into a group of firelight. In the night, he shot at the stake behind him quickly! Boom, the towering fire column immediately burst into flames! Under the sky fire, the old pillar seemed to show its ferocious nature. Under the burning fire, the fire light pulled the shadow of Oedipus on the ground to the elder
"... the goddess has a second purpose: to bring a person who should not be left in this world. Erase from the world! Personally, I'm looking forward to one day in the future when that person will accept the scene of burning under this pillar. "
The Pope was silent for a long time. He looked at the Oedipus in front of him and the angel who came. The old Pope sighed in his heart.
Finally, he nodded: "God has mercy on the world."
Orpheus is smiling: "yes, God has mercy on the world!"
northwest.
When the first light of morning came down from the clouds. The whole city of giliat awakened from a deep sleep.
The soldiers on the wall sounded the horn, and the garrison immediately began to gather. The soldiers began their morning drill and day-to-day training.
In the production base in the city. The slaves of the brigade also queued out of the barracks. Under the supervision of the soldiers, they began to wait for them with breakfast. It was a day's work.
Gandalf came out of the room yawning. Although a green robe looks a little dirty, but the old guy has always insisted on not changing other colors of clothes, especially white!
This remote courtyard in the former governor's house, which was abandoned, is now used by Gandalf alone. No one can get close without Gandalf's approval.
The first thing Gandalf did when he got up was to walk into a house next to him. The doors and windows of the room had been installed with strong iron fences.
Around the corner, there are some magic crystal stones in a special order.
Just opened the door, inside came a roar, and then a hair of the figure rushed out! He opened his arms as if to pounce on Gandalf. But just ran to the door, the magic crystal around the corner immediately sent out a ray of light, light instantly shrouded the whole house!
The figure who rushed out was hit by the magic light and immediately screamed and fell back.
Gandalf looked at the guy on the ground with his head in his arms, and sighed: "OK, Sebastian, it's time to eat. I hope you can learn some basic manners tomorrow morning! Do you understand? You are a man, not a beast
On the ground, the man with his head in his arms gradually stopped screaming, wheezing and looking at Gandalf with alert eyes. He lay down on the ground and stepped back little by little, like a wild animal guarding against Gandalf.
Gandalf coldly put a plate in front of him.
Sebastian seemed to hesitate for a moment, trying to reach out to grab the food in the plate, but he just reached out his hand, Gandalf's face sank, stretched out a fingertip, a fire shot in the past, the flame burned in Sebastian's hand, immediately let him cry in pain, the body back again and again.
Fortunately, under the special constitution of Sebastian, the burn on his hand soon recovered as usual“ Forget what I taught you? " Gandalf stood in front of Sebastian, his face as deep as water: "what should you do if someone brings you something?" Sebastian's eyes seemed to be at a loss, but at last, after a long time, he seemed to understand something. His lips trembled a few times. Finally, it seemed that a very strange and difficult character was squeezed out of his voice. Although his voice was like a baby who had just learned human language, it was human language after all“ Thank you... Thank you After listening to this difficult voice, Gandalf's face showed a sincere smile, and then pushed the plate to Sebastian. Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pa... At this time, behind the door, came a applause! Gandalf looked back and saw a smiling face. This guy was standing at the door, clapping hard, and said with a smile: "good! I can't imagine that you have taught this major general to speak during my departure! "“ I'm not a babysitter. " Gandalf murmured, and then his face began to show some discomfort: "it's you! You've been gone for more than a month! Son of a bitch, where have you been! " Dewey grinned, a little tired in his smile: "OK! I'm back! And... You can't imagine what treasure I brought back to you this time! And... There's more than one! "
