: One thousand three hundred and thirty-nine Saints (1)

Among the ruins of the sanctuary on the top of St. Nicholas Hill, the wind blows the grass between the stones. Here is a ruined dilapidated wall in the sanctuary. A collapsed stone house is on the broken wall.
Hundreds of years ago, this place existed as a star-gazing room for disciples in the temple. At that time, the conditions were not good. The simple style advocated by the prophet Ferran was very completely interpreted here. Seeing no one, there is generally nothing to pay attention to these places, not to mention hundreds of years of wind and rain, which has already turned this place into a wild grass with wild grass, only some scattered fragments scattered in the grass prove that there have been people here Lived
From here, you can see the situation of the road under the mountain at a glance,
An old man wearing a high priest costume stood on the cliff, gazing vigorously at a hundred meters below, and slowly along the winding mountain road. Two white eyebrows were twisted together and flashing. Glossy eyes fell into an inexplicable contemplation,
He is Monroe, the high priest of Sky Presbyterian Church..
Responsible for the regular affairs of the temple. After the high priest Parsina was sick, Monroe had faintly become the priest of the sacred church. The mountain breeze blew his short white hair and was accompanied by a large priest with gold around him. The robe, the breath of majesty came across,
Behind him were two old men who had the same long-dressed costumes as him. One of them had thick hair, a thin body, and an unforgettable curved hook nose, which was responsible for explaining the doctrine. Dominicanism,
Because of his companionship with dry and rigid doctrine books all year round, he looked a little stunned. Because he was responsible for explaining the doctrine, he was also responsible for supervising the middle and lower-level sacrificial missionary activities. The middle and lower priests tremble their legs when they hear the name, and they have a pair of unique yīn triangular eyes, which gives a strong and compelling feeling.
The other is a chubby old man with a ruddy face and not a tall body. Standing there gives people a down-to-earth feeling, bland and divine eyes, always seems to bring a sense of calm, he is The person in charge of supporting the ritual ceremony, the high priest Ivan Brown,
Compared with the other two, the presence of this Ivan Brown high priest is relatively low.
Although they are both members of the Presbyterian Church, the first two are in possession of a lot of real power, and this one is only responsible for the arrangement of ceremonies and ceremonial preparations. It is completely impossible to put it on the table. Under normal circumstances, if it is not encountered Such a major event as the establishment of a new saint, this year can only be seen once during the Winter Veil Festival, so in general, the temple is to give people the appearance of only three high priests, and Only insiders know. There are four high priests in the temple
The three of them and the high priest of Timothy who came to meet constituted the current Sky Church Presbyterian Church, which nominally assists Palsina to manage the church. In fact, they are the core of the church, the reason why they will appear On this deserted cliff. It was entirely because of a report that panicked them that the southern governor of the empire, Statunko, had come to St. Nicholas. This was a sunny day for the Presbyterian Church, who was secretly planning to establish a new saint in the empire. thunderbolt. It’s like being embarrassed and embarrassed by being caught in bed
The mountain breeze blew, slightly cold, and his eyes paused on the large wooden box on the wagon in the distance. The oldest high priest chief Monroe turned around from the front, and his face was depressed to the two behind him who also had a bad face and said that the high priest said
"What do you think about this matter? At this time, the southern governor of the empire suddenly brought our army to St. Nicholas. It can never be just by coincidence! Although we don't know the real purpose of the other party, we also need to be careful. ,
Especially when the ceremony of the new saint is coming, we need to be more cautious, otherwise, once forcibly intervened by the empire in advance, we will lose our face and say nothing, just fear that the holy teaching will not recover easily, and will suffer. Suffer the heavy blow! "
"The chief priest said, I also think this is not easy!" It wasn't the cold-faced doctrine of the school, Adonis, but Ivan Brown, who was fat,
He shrank his head subconsciously, and the God analyzed it seriously.
"First of all, the Battle of the Black Forest has been over for a few months, why the empire now only remembers to hand over the statue to us, and second, although this is the only great statue of the prophet found in the era of the first grand ceremony, it needs to be alarmed. A Wikiia Falcon governor personally escorted himself, it is really unreasonable! But the Southern Governor of the Empire holding tens of thousands of soldiers, need to personally run hundreds of miles to send a statue for such a small thing, what a joke! I dare to guarantee , This Governor Governor is definitely undertaking a special mission of Vickia Falcon!"
I have to admit that this Ivan Brown high priest, who is rare every year, is so good. It is worthy of being the high priest who is responsible for instructing the newcomers to understand the complex ritual ceremonies. Fake, all turn around your dizzy head, let people fall into it unconsciously, a typical magic stick! "What do you mean by special mission?" The oldest Monroe brow jumped, obviously frightened by the word. What is special mission, this is too much meaning, anyway, it will not be a good thing to fall on the head of the Holy Church, otherwise Why carry so many guards, "It shouldn't be too far! The relationship between the upper empire and us is not so bad!"
The cold-hearted dean of the Adenis speaks as he looks, coldly "at least not yet, because the sacred religion is the trust of the jīng of the millions of Salanders, even the empire. Dare to take direct action against us!"" This is hard to say! "Seeing the uncertainty flashed in the eyes of Adonis, this Ivan Brown high priest increased his tone and continued to say "What do you think, Vickia Falcon is Man, that was the butcher who killed at least millions of people!" "What about then, I don't believe that he dares to kill the Salanders!" Moved
Ivan Brown continued, "To be honest, I have been paying attention to the expeditionary force during this time. No one can tell the specific situation, but I feel that the empire is very polite to us now. At the point, there will never be a slight soft hand!"
"Can the heart of a ruthless king be conceived by you and my generation?"
Ivan Brown's voice stopped. With a sigh, the tone was cold and said, "Think about the situation of the expeditionary army. In order to mobilize 20,000 Salanders to join the expeditionary army, Vickia Falcon can give the best of all the participating Salander soldiers without hesitation. Training, weaponry, and officer equipment, but Normandy had just been beaten. In less than a month, the expeditionary army changed from a hero praised by everyone to a rebel army surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army.
The tens of thousands of troops had no room for resistance, and they were killed by the Vickia Falcon and slain! What does this mean? The empire's butcher knife has never been dull, and the speed of turning this face is too... Gee! "
Ivan Brown shook his head and refused to speak, but the expression on his face undoubtedly showed that the cruelty of the emperor was not an intimidating empty talk. "In terms of killing and deciding, even if the three of us are tied together, it cannot be compared. The lame Southern Governor, "Ivan Brown said without any excuse," not to mention. Behind the Governor, the Vikya Falcon called the invincible God of War! And as far as I know, I don’t know why, The temple has always been indecisive about the expeditionary army incident, and I heard that there are some middle- and lower-level sacrificial offerings. There are still many people who are upset about the expeditionary army.
"This is why the Southern Governor came in person! I can only say that this is dangerous, you are challenging the patience of the empire!" The voice of the high priest of Ivan Brown stopped, and the corner of the eye was facing the dean of the doctrine next to him Adonis glanced,
That look was like saying. This kind of thing is under the jurisdiction of the Doctrine of the Doctrine. Look at what is going on here! Now that they have come, they come directly to the door. There is no solution here
"It has nothing to do with me, it is just a personal act of sacrifice! It is not within the scope of the correction of the doctrine deviation!" The dean of the doctrine, Adonis, North District, turned a white smoke to him and insisted on his face. "And I don't think this is wrong,
"For centuries, the Holy Church has succumbed to secular monarchy. If it used to be that we were ruled by the Salanders, now it is the outsiders who rule the Salanders." The decisive voice echoed in the air, and there was a burst of blood xìng "The original teaching of the Holy Church was to take up the responsibility of professor Saland zìyóu, integrity and courage. We are not imperial puppets, they can dominate the Salander Yes, but we are the jīng gods of the Salander. The expeditionary army is right. In front of the country hate the family, regardless of whether they have made the horrendous killings, they are all heroes of the Salander," they It was only our enemies who were killed. "Adunis turned his head and looked at the beautiful land of Sarand in the distance, and said deeply. "The earth back to chūn can not hide the wounds of war. In my mind, I still remember the broken mountains and rivers. Miserable scene,
The fierce Normans continue to invade our beautiful country. At that time, I felt that I was living in a nightmare every day. When I opened my eyes, I heard the news of the defeat of the frontline army in my ears. It was the painful groan of wounded soldiers. More than one million people died in that disaster, countless people fell under the killing of the Normans, and the only thing I can do is pray for them! I can’t go against my conscience and accuse these warriors who carry the entire humiliation of Sarande and raise the sword of vengeance to the Normans as traitors, because if I can still take up arms, I will go and obey the will of the empire. Declaring them to be rebels is insulting me, insulting the temple, and insulting all the Sarandons themselves! "
The Monroe next to him had a heavy face and didn't say a word. Obviously, there was more than Adonis. In fact, the aggressiveness of the high priest was also famous in the temple, and many of them belonged to the temple. Ke is actually his loyal believer. In the war between Sarand and Normandy, the chief priest who was over 60 years old ran on the front line of the war many times. Even if the blood of the wounded soldiers stained the priest robe, Still in a peaceful tone, pray to the of the sky for the wounded soldiers. The war was a disaster for the entire Salander. It was family hatred and even national hatred!
"Okay, follow you." Compared to the insistence of the two companions, the fat body director Ivan Brown can only express compromise. He rubbed the temple in pain with his right hand and said, "It's obvious to a blind man. , This high-powered Governor-General, is not directed at the two of you! What a distress, he came here, and we wouldn’t be able to do anything without the empire’s determination of the Virgin,
If we suddenly announced the cessation, although we can temporarily get rid of the crisis, it is also equivalent to admitting that the temple has succumbed to the secular kingship. This move is too powerful. We have no way at all, we can neither hold nor stop, time is approaching at the moment... what a bad thing! "" Actually I have a way! "
The Dean of the Doctrine, Adonis, hesitated, and said mysteriously, "Since there is no way to avoid it, if he confronts him directly, he will be caught by surprise. We can also beat him by surprise. It is better to make the situation bigger."
"Well? What do you mean, be clear!"
The crocodile dean of the doctrine sneered with a sneer. "Anyway, the selection ceremony of the New Virgin is three days later. Even if the other party knows, they can’t tell Normandy’s Falcon Falcon far away from the sea, we It is perfectly possible to use this opportunity to announce to the entire Sarande that the ceremony of the new Virgin will be held in the Holy Land of Nicholas, and that the whole ceremony will be open to everyone. I believe that day will be unprecedented! Even if the empire wants to be right under the eyes of everyone Whether we apply pressure or stop the ceremony is not something that the Southern Governor can decide without authorization!"
"This approach seems to work!" Ivan Brown, the priest's priest, hesitated. Nodded approvingly,
"Oh, this is a brilliant idea." Monroe glanced meaningfully at the long black line that had traveled to the middle of the mountain, and God's excited mouth smiled. "Just do it. I will send someone to tell Di Mo immediately Sir, put this Governor-General to the San Pedro Sanctuary, where the environment is beautiful, and you can always look at the beautiful mountain scenery. The most important thing is to be located in the middle of the mountain road, whether it is uphill or downhill, we are under our eyes. Below! As long as we pay close attention to the Governor. Don’t let the wind show from here. After three days, even if the other party wants to react and move!"
In the dark night, the fat man stood in the courtyard halfway up the hill, looking up at a bright ball of fire rising slowly in the dark night sky, "Bump!" A loud noise, the sky in the distance, a beautiful firework in the sky It burst out one by one, illuminating the fat black eyes of the fat man, and the environment around him,
Cui sè is hazy, and a dozen palm trees swaying in the wind scatter in the night. Compared with the lavishly decorated Vecchia-style courtyard, a green stream flows down here. This is a curved green lining from the top of the mountain. The spring water, the spring water hits on the boulders, the sound of Ding Ding Dong Dong is like a melodious nocturne,
Simple to the extreme, the spiritual realm to the extreme, revealing the true movement of silence,
The sound of people singing and dancing came under the mountain. From afar, the lights shone the square of the city below the mountain like daylight, celebrating the birth of the prince, aroused the weakness of the fat man, the father and son connected, and the fat man's eyes looked bright. Fireworks exploding in the air,
This is an observatory outside the temple where you can look straight up to the sky. Standing here, the fat man can see the scene below the mountain more realistically. Several guards were supposed to follow him, and the fat man turned back angrily. "I am now an ordinary guard, who will come to harm me, you follow me, it is the real harm to me!" Several guards did not dare to follow, and had to return to Anton Statunko's residence,
There is no wind in the quiet night, and time passes like water. The celebration under the mountain seems to have entered the high cháo. Some people shouted the voice of long live the prince, and the sound of the melodious organ fluttering in the wind, even the most hard-hearted person, will also be affected by such a scene Melt away
The fat man listened to the laughter and laughter from a distance, and suddenly raised his head, gazing at the starry sky above the head like electricity, a shocking feeling struck, like a huge galaxy of light, like a long river hanging, making people Almost can't feel his existence. Between this world, human beings are so small. Perhaps, as Prais said, in front of the powerful river of time, anyone is a hurried passerby, only the bloodline It was the traces that once existed. Unconsciously, the fat man has completely relaxed his nervous body, and thoroughly felt this very rare long-lost feeling~EbookFREE.me~ Only at this moment, he felt the dynasty domination, but It's time and space, everything I have tried is just to live better!
I don’t know how long, the sound of the celebration under the mountain has gradually calmed down. There are footsteps returning from the city celebration on the mountain road. There are men and women. It seems that most of them have stopped under the mountain. , Only one to fine footsteps from far and near,
Suddenly, the fat man heard an unpleasant low-hum female voice in his ears.
The fat man opened his eyes and saw seven or eight fully-armed Salander women Xing Xuan stared at the place ten meters away from the observatory.
In the middle of several women, stood a gorgeous young woman, which was rarely seen wearing Mamunuk armor, slender figure, possessing a strong and moving beauty, majestic English style, worthy of touching,
The girl looked at the fat man coldly and the self-esteem of the man, so that the fat man did not avoid her eyes. The girl's eyes flashed a strange fence, frowning, "Where have I seen you?" Little...Miss, like the stupid fat man across the street! "Another timid female voice said, the fat man was stunned, Where has this voice actually been heard? (to be continued.)
