Chapter 9: Glory of the Virgin

Chapter 009: The Glorious Glory ()
Behind the strange rock, in a distance not visible, there is a group of knights, holding a weapon to arrange the formation and preparing to attack at any time. There were dozens of unmanned horses nearby, and some of them carried the necessary materials for the long journey to the desert, and more were war horses. The owners of these war horses have just lost their lives in the terrible encounter.
Treasurer Morton murmured: "How can this be, a person, or a woman, has wiped out all the acumen of the ambush, and the high priest of Jeremiah has sacrificed! ... Lord Governor, we have too few people to ambush this time! "
Governor Xiao Mo's face was very ugly: "We cannot mobilize the city-state legion to blatantly attack Dick's convoy. That is tantamount to declaring war on the Egyre Empire. We can only cover it as a bandit on the Assyrian border. Moreover, it is too late to mobilize the army and get news He led the guards and rushed here to set up an ambush, and he has done his best. "
The High Priest Cosman glanced at Governor Xiao Mo with a dissatisfaction, as if to say, is there such a well-trained elite gangster? Then he turned and looked at Gabriel in the distance with a gloomy face: "This man must be one of the twelve guardian warriors of the Temple of Isis in Memphis, I really did not expect it!"
The financial officer reluctantly said, "She is as strong as she is alone! You see, she's exhausted now, and she seems to be injured. If we launch a cavalry shock, we may still capture the tears of the gods. "
While they were talking, Gabriel had walked back to the team, knelt down on one knee, the sword in his hands was half-pushed into the sand, his face was pale, and a little blood had leaked from his corners, and he was praying silently. The stone on the sword's armen sends a soft white light over her, which is a low-level healing magic. Gabriel was indeed injured during the fierce battle just now, especially when he struck the sledgehammer with a shield and was shocked.
Dick has sent servants to clean the battlefield, stumps of his limbs are buried in the sand, weapons and armor are collected and taken away, these are loot, and also an important basis for tracing the gang's source in the future.
Seeing this scene, Governor Xiao Mo said hesitantly: "Although the samurai was injured, Rod Dick's elite guard was not lost. You can see that their cavalry still maintained the battle formation and we have lost. With half the manpower, even High Priest Jeremiah died. "
The treasurer encouraged: "The High Priest of Cosman is still here, and we have two low-level wizards. They are attacked in a formal combat formation, and the heavy horse protects the wizard at the center of the battlefield to help. Can win. "
The High Priest Cosman also gritted his teeth: "The failure of the ambush was an accident. I did not expect that the other would kill such a great warrior. The disaster of the magician several decades ago, the maiden of the Temple of Isis fell down, and even the right The tears of the gods on the staff are unknown. For a long time, their authority under the dominion of Eju will be questioned, which is what we most hope to see.
The tears of the gods are so important to them, and more important to us. Don't forget the old legend, the people of Hati also believe that the tears of the gods are the blessings of the gods. If we got it, it would not be Isis blessing Ege, but God Enril blessing Hati, so that more power can be gathered against the Ege empire. "
Governor Xiao Mo's tone was still hesitant: "Of course I know these, otherwise I will not bring the Jingwei Guard here to set the ambush. But you also saw the battle just now, unless you are confident that you will be able to do it without leaving clues to be traced, Otherwise, there is no way to act lightly. "
High Priest Cosman frowned: "Mr. Governor, today High Priest Jeremiah died and lost so many people. If it is unsuccessful, how to go back to explain?" When he had just said this, he suddenly turned around and was shocked again. Joy said: "Sir, don't worry anymore, our honorable great magician Ge Lie is here!"
Several people looked back to the distance behind the hill, and saw a figure in a white robe stepping forward. He seemed to be walking, but his body seemed to be flying fast against the dunes. It didn't take long before Came to a few people. This is an old man with a white goatee. He is not tall and wears a headscarf. His face has deep wrinkles, but his eyes are clear and sharp, unlike an old man.
The old man was called Ge Lie. He was the chief priest of the Shyah Temple. In the usual city-states, the city master usually served as the chief priest. High-level theologians came to serve as the chief priests of the Temple of Syria, and three deputy priests, namely high priests, were Xiao Mo, Jeremiah, and Cosman.
Governor Xiao Mo himself was one of the three high priests of the city of Syria, and the high priest of Jeremiah had just died under the sword of Gabriel.
High-level theologians are detached no matter where they are in the kingdom. Gelei is an eighth-level master. He does not care about daily affairs, and often travels between the cities of Syria and the capital of the king, in the main temple of the kingdom. There are also part-time jobs. This time Governor Xiao Mo led someone to launch an ambush, and it happened that Ge Lie was not there. I did not expect that he was here at the moment. How could it not be overjoyed?
The knights were inconvenient to dismount, and they immediately bowed and saluted with their weapons. The three men at the top saluted salutingly, "Very divine wizard, are you here? All difficulties will be resolved, please let We explain to you what happened here. "
Ge Lie glanced at the battlefield in the distance and waved the short stick in his hand and said, "I already understand what is happening here. After you go back, explain it slowly."
The Treasurer Morton was startled, and knelt down, "Dear Great Master, with your strength, we can win the tears of the gods."
The High Priest Cosman also knelt down and said, "Honorary priest, we are fighting for the future destiny of Hati Kingdom, but Jeremiah is dead, and the Governor's pro-guards are also lost more than half. God's tears, how do you explain after you go back? "
There was a trace of regret in Ge Lie's eyes, and he sighed, "I will try my best to help you. The preciousness of the tears of the gods is clear to me, but now is not the time. Look, the other party has such a huge branch. Caravan, and Rod Dick and his pro-guards. Besides, if you kill the Guardian Samurai and Rod Dick of the Temple of Isis, do you know what this means? "
After seeing the people silent, Gu Lie continued, "Don't think that no one knows that you did it. Who can mobilize this kind of power in this place? There is no other possibility than Hati official. Hati is accumulating power secretly At present, it is necessary to maintain the peace on the surface. The Iju Empire is afraid that there is no excuse to destroy this power. You may cause war in advance by doing so. Now that the Kingdom of Hatti is not ready, the time for the victory granted by the great God of Enril is not yet available. Here. "
Speaking of this, Ge Lie's voice suddenly stopped, looking up at the distant Rod-Dick's convoy, exclaiming in a low voice: "Divine!"
The High Priest Cosman glanced back and said strangely, "Looks like, that's just the lowest level of blessing. Why is this great magician so surprised?"
...
Seeing the far side of the convoy, Maria didn't know when she had arrived in the first car, looking up at the sky murmuring something, holding her hands on her chest. A faint mass of Jinhui emanated from her palms, as if the whole body was plated with a shallow layer of holy light. Jinhui shone into the air, and strange reflections scattered, covering Gabriel who was kneeling in front of the car.
This is the mysticism of the goddess of the temple of Isis. The simplest and most profound "Blessing of Isis" can only be performed with the tears of the gods. It is also the test of the selection of the saint by the temple of Isis. It is a of blessing, which can not only treat injuries, but also eliminate pain, wash away tiredness, restore physical strength, and give people confidence, strength and courage. In short, it is equivalent to a combination of divine effects that eliminates any negative effects.
At this time, Maria reluctantly exhibited with the tears of the gods. It is only the simplest low-order divine effect, and it is very weak and almost dispensable. It is just a symbol, but the most important thing is exactly this symbol.
Everyone around him saluted to Jinhui, including the knights who immediately wore armor, praising the miracle given by the goddess Isis. Rod Dick was ecstatic, and he finally understood what Gabriel had done to keep Maria in Duke for three days, and Maria had done it. She was really a maiden!
...
In the shadow on the hill, the great magician Ge Lie said with emotion: "Maybe it's too far away, your eyesight can't be seen clearly, it is indeed the lowest level of blessing magic, but it is the patron saint of Isis Temple. The blessing of Isis can only be used, and it can be summoned by the tears of the gods. The the carriage is the patron saint of the temple of Isis. I did not expect that they already have the saint! "
Cosman's eyes widened, showing an incredible expression: "How is this possible! I got the secret report that the tears of the gods have just been mined three days ago and haven't been sent to Memphis. How could the maiden have appeared? ? "
Ge Lie shook her head and said, "I'm not omnipotent and omniscient. Perhaps only the gods can know. But to perform such a divine skill can only be the guardian maiden of the temple of Isis, then she is the maiden. We cannot do anything. Taking away the tears of the gods in the female hands will arouse the hatred of the entire Lower Egypt. The Empire of Egypt will declare war even if it does not want to declare war. "
After speaking these words, Ge Lie sighed with regret: "This maiden is still quite weak, unfortunately, I do not know how strong it will be in the future."
Governor Xiao Mo considered the question very realistic, and immediately asked: "Great Master, what do we do now? Do you evacuate immediately?"
Ge Lie shook his head again: "No, quickly inform the city-state to supply supplies, and then clear the traces of the battlefield. When tomorrow, he will lead the cavalry to catch up, and he heard that recently there were powerful bandits in the desert, to protect them, and then all the way Escort them out of the border. "
Governor Xiao Mo nodded and said, "In this case, I will send some people a gift to the high priests of the Temple of Monfez. Even if we want to hold today's affairs to us, someone will mediate for us."
Ge Lie looked at him with a satisfied look: "That's what a master officer should think of."
