Chapter 183

Macrov continent, southern waters, frontier seas.

The endless blue sea in the south is full of clouds and storms all day long, as if rejecting all outsiders.

But in the churning whirlpool and tide, there is a gray Island standing up, it is hidden in the fog and waves, let the rough sea waves at will to beat the rocks on its cliff bank, so indestructible.

In the legend of the sea people, this is not the true face of the gray island. If one day, the storm of the distant sea stops and the clouds disperse, then in the surging waves, there will be a holy mountain, which is pure white, towering to the top and exploring into the air and covered by white clouds.

The Church of seven gods, the holy mountain of the distant sea.

Grey Island, named ADA, is surrounded by cliffs. In front of its only entrance to the sea, there is a huge holy white stone tablet with several big words like fire on it

"Where faith comes, the storm stops"

On Grey Island, there are many white buildings and temple communities, where tens of thousands of residents live, They are all priests of the seven gods church, trained or serving for trainers.

Some people were born here and will die here. New people constantly come here to accept the tempering of faith, and then become qualified clerics to return to the mainland to fight against evil and expel diseases. Many old people return here to spend their old age and enjoy the peace of the holy land after toiling all their lives.

As the gathering place of all the beliefs of the human race in the world, the gray island is covered with a strong and incomparable power of holy light all day long. Under this light, all evils can't be approached and there is no escape. The eyes of the seven gods of human beings are always watching here.

And in the central temple, the transmission center.

With a silver flash, a bloody Knight came out of the transmission array.

His armor was full of scars, acid and traces of various strange attacks. Under the purification of the holy light on the gray Island, the knight uttered a pain, but some happy groan. Countless black gas came out of his wounds and armor, and then was purified and turned into nothingness.

After resting for a while and regaining a little physical strength, the knight silently went through the barrier of the temple guard, refused the request of the attendant to change his armor and clean his body. He went all the way through the buildings on the gray Island, and seemed to want to use his filthy body to go to the most holy mountain hidden in the clouds.

It's said that only after seven days and nights can we step on the holy mountain.

The guards and attendants on the road seemed to know the knight. They hesitated to look at each other and did not know whether to stop him. But just when they hesitated, the knight had already climbed the holy mountain.

Pure white mountain like a sword, straight into the depth of cumulus, lightning in its hillside, thunder in its side burst.

The knight looked up at the mountain and stopped a little. No matter how many times he watched, he was shocked by its magnificence and precipitousness.

But now is not the time to stop. The knight shook his head and stepped on the long ladder leading to the top of the mountain. There are countless stairs, each of which is made of pure white hard rock. On both sides of the ladder, there are countless gray arches, one by one, like a long chain winding endlessly.

In the holy mountain, there is a mysterious chain composed of countless forces of belief and holy light. People who have no power of order or holy light will be blocked by it, and their time and space will be distorted, so that they can never reach the goal. Only with faith in mind can they find the real road. This is the truth that walking on seven days and seven nights can reach the top of the mountain.

How pious is the knight's faith? He ran to the top of the mountain without any obstruction.

He passed the statues of the seven gods, the black circle of the God of justice and power, the withered heart of the God of love and decline, the white snake with the tail of the God of order and destruction, the thorn birds of the God of law and freedom, the hammer books of the God of guard and change, the bifurcating eyes of the God of wisdom and choice, and the bones, soil and grass of the God of life.

The knight had no respect for the statues of these sacred objects. Only when he faced the sacred objects of the God of life did he stop and lower his head to show his respect.

Finally, he went over the clouds, through the fog and lightning, and came to the top of the holy mountain, the temple forever illuminated by the sun, the bright moon and the stars.

At the entrance of the temple, there are countless guards in gold and white robes, different from those at the foot of the mountain. Although they know the knight, they will not give in, but will stop him. These guards apologize, but they don't hesitate. Instead of using weapons, they reach out and seize the knight's body, It seems that it will take him away from here.However, the knight's body was as unshakable as a mountain. He allowed the guards to hold his armor, hands and feet, and his whole body was shining with holy light. No one could stop him. The knight was silent, step by step, and moved forward with unstoppable momentum. All the guards were left behind by a gentle and powerful force, and could not get up for a moment.

With firm steps, he entered the temple.

On both sides of the majestic and huge arch of the temple, there are statues of the ancient guard of the holy mountain. These statues are holding huge swords and shields, and their expressions are resolute. They seem to have been guarding here until the end of time.

Above the arch, there was a clear line of writing.

"The sun, the moon and the stars are endless, and the light is eternal."

Deep in the temple, at the end of the arcade, an old man with white hair and golden eyes, a silver crown and a pure white Scepter sat in his seat, as if waiting for the arrival of the knight.

"Loranda, you're here."

The kind-hearted old man seemed to have known what happened at the foot of the mountain. He didn't stop the knight's advance, and even let the guard behind him back down. He didn't seem to be angry about the knight's intrusion into the temple. The old man gently said to the knight named loranda: "you don't need to rush to enter the holy mountain, Why

The old man was dressed in a simple white robe with ancient patterns on it. However, the scepter in his hand and the crown on his head were full of strong and breathless light. The white chair he sat down on seemed simple, but in fact it was carved from rare holy white crystal. The sunlight fell from the skylight of the temple and fell in front of him, The power of the light of order is endless.

Facing the old man, the knight took a deep breath. His wounds healed quickly, scarred and disappeared under the healing power of the old man.

But even so, his breath was shaking, and he seemed to be suppressing his anger, in sharp contrast to the unstoppable momentum.

"Godfather Iger... Vichy is dead."

After a long time, the knight's breath calmed down, but it was very heavy: "my comrade in arms, who grew up with me and saved me several times, Vichy died."

"Yes."

After a moment's silence, the old man named Iger shook his head. His voice was still gentle, but it contained a calm to cold tone: "although I can comfort you and ease your sorrow, loranda, as the strongest Knight of the younger generation in the church, should have known that there will always be sacrifice in the battle, let alone fighting with you, They are the most evil things from other worlds, the chaotic families. "

"In the face of this existence, death is normal. Not everyone is as strong as you."

"I thought you were used to it," Eagle said, as if seeing through everything

"Your holiness, no one will get used to this kind of thing!"

The knight said angrily. He took off his helmet covered with brown scab, revealing his blonde hair and firm and beautiful face. His blue eyes showed real anger. The knight, like a marble statue, had an angry face and said to his godfather, the Pope of the church: "Vichy is dead, so is Gretel, My elders, my friends and many comrades in arms are dead. "

"I have been adopted and taught by you since I was a child. I believe in piety and have been studying martial arts hard. In the temple of heaven, I swear to protect the world and fight against all evils. Although I have only lived in this world for 27 years, I have not wasted a single moment in these 27 years. Instead, I have completely dedicated myself to the gods and human beings!"

Lolanda's voice suddenly raised. He frowned and said to the old man in front of him: "since my martial arts have been successful, I have been fighting hard with the most evil things in the West Mountain plague and performing my duties. My heart is extremely enthusiastic. Even though I have been close to death for several times, I have never doubted my faith, but it's not true."

Speaking of this, his voice slowed down, as if forced out of his teeth: "they are all dead. I have changed people around me five times. They are all dead. No matter who they are, they are the best knights in the church. Their future is very bright, many, many... I thought I could bear it, but I finally found that my heart is not indestructible."

"This time Vichy's death, I finally began to doubt the meaning of my oath and the meaning of the battle - after this battle, I thought for a long time."

At this point, loranda's voice returned to calm, and he said to the silent old man with no expression: "godfather, Pope, I don't understand, whether it's the pestilence of the west mountain or the town of the northern Empire, what's the meaning of letting these chaotic tumors cling to our world?""... when flowers are in full bloom, they need to be attached to the soil, and the rootless duckweed also needs to float in the river."

After hearing his son's query, Iger thought for a while, and then answered softly, "just as people need food, fire needs firewood, if the world of order wants to maintain, it can only rely on the combustion of chaos as the source."

"The fire had been dumped thousands of years ago. Without these tumors as a source of firewood, the fire on the continent of mirov would have been extinguished long ago."

In a few words, the old man told the truth, but the knight was full of doubts and perplexed. Although he knew that his godfather had not deceived him and gave a real answer, he could not understand these.

Seeing lolanda's expression, Iger smiles, shakes his head and says: "I've given an explanation, my child, now you really can't understand this, it's too early... The golden peak of 27 years old, though very strong, still hasn't entered or reached the extreme. The cause and process of these things tell you, It doesn't make any sense

"How can it be meaningless!"

Hearing Iger's words, loranda couldn't help retorting: "godfather, you raised me who lost my parents because of political struggle. Although you are not my parents, you are better than that, but you are always so mysterious that you don't want to tell any truth!"

"With your power, the pestilence land can be completely eliminated. The legendary power is equal to the gods walking in the world. Even if it can't be eliminated, you can completely close the time and space gate and seal the pestilence land, just like the legendary mage of the Kaos family 400 years ago in the northern Empire! But you don't do anything, just let us use human life to fill this bottomless pit

"If it's sealed, there will be other sources. Although it's sealed, the time and space gate in the north still has a remnant. The cost is not proportional to the cost. You know what Kabbala Kaos paid for it... Alas."

Suddenly sighed, the old man was dispirited, he said slowly: "Iger, you don't understand, some things can't be done if you want to, plague place, now you have to stay, the only thing you can do is to become stronger in the battle, don't let your comrades sacrifice in vain, only after you become the next Pope of the seven gods church, the successor of the saints."

He stopped for a moment, then said to the knight word by word

"Then you will know the truth."

Loranda seems to want to retort, but the white Scepter in Iger's hand suddenly starts to shine.

The eyes of both sides focused on the scepter, watching the light flash and flow like breathing.

"Aha."

The old man laughed, and the wrinkles on his face were slightly raised. It seemed that he was really happy.

The knight looked at it quietly. He was very surprised. He knew clearly that his godfather was kind, but he had not laughed so happily for a long time.

After happiness, there is silence.

"Go north."

Iger suddenly opened his mouth and said to the knight, his expression is not like a joke, but serious: "because of the oath, I can't tell you anything, but if you really want to know what is the truth, then you can go to the town of the north to have a look."

"There are people who are similar to me and you in the future."

After that, the old man raised his scepter and signaled the knight to step down.

Although loranda was puzzled, his anger had already been vented, and his heart also reflected what the thinker Iger had said before, so the knight bowed and slowly stepped down.

After the knight left, the old man sat on his crystal seat and quietly looked at the scepter in his hand.

At the top of the scepter, there is a faint flame shrouded by countless halos, slowly burning
