Extras Dark Tales - A Busy Beginning(1/5)

The war ended three months ago.

The war ended suddenly, and ordinary people could not remember what happened that day. It was like a hazy dream in their heads. There was an impression, but it was just a very vague shadow, and no beginning, end or any details could be found.

This feeling is confusing, but the end of the war is undoubtedly a great thing, because everyone has so many things and so many worries, at home, in the field, in the shop...

In the afternoon, the sun is tilted from the position directly above the head, and the heat it brings to the earth is also a little stronger. Although the sunlight in early summer will not make people timid, it can make those who are busy outside covered in sweat...

In Bis, where the smoke has cleared, and in the world where the haze has dissipated, strange busyness appears at every level from top to bottom.

Unusual people, unusually busy.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the Hall of Heroes!" A clear announcement echoed in the tall and majestic hall.

Dozens of mid-level priests neatly put down their official duties and lined up on both sides of the carpet with solemn expressions. The sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected their young faces and their cautious and clear eyes. Unlike other priests, they

There are no other decorations on the black or white robe, and the belt is very ordinary. There is only a low-key soft coat of arms on the chest to indicate his position and level.

The wooden hall door leading to the ceiling opened, and a middle-aged man stepped on the carpet beside the door. He wore a flat-topped crown, held a life-size scepter in his hand, and wore a bright blue ceremonial robe. This reserved but ambitious man

He is the leader of the huge group of priests of the third faith, the Holy Domain High Priest Nizan who is in charge of the Cardinal Court, the Collegiate Court, and the Glory Court.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" The priests put their hands on their chests and bowed slightly to the visitors. This is the highest etiquette within the third faith. For daily etiquette, you only need to touch your chests.

In the structure of the third faith, the Cardinal Court is the internal institution, the Collegiate Chamber is the external institution, and the Glory Chamber is the only institution that accepts oracles. These three constitute the backbone of the faith. The Sanctuary High Priest is responsible for managing these three major institutions.

Institutions, of course, he is also responsible for managing other semi-independent institutions, such as the Hall of Heroes.

"Bless you, for God's generosity." Nizan stood by the door with his head bowed, returning the gift meticulously. However, when he raised his head, the eyes of the priests were full of curiosity and expectation.

The Hall of Heroes is a temporary organization and is not affiliated with the three courts. The priests' affairs are also very simple. They only organize and preserve the deeds of human heroes. Although the scope covers ancient and modern times, they have no actual powers. It has been two full months since its establishment.

Your Majesty has only come once. And when he returned the gift, he used a grand ceremony greeting... It only took half a month for this standard etiquette hall to be formulated.

"I think everyone must be very strange." Chief Priest Nizam took two steps forward with a serious look on his face, "Normally, I should call you 'people of God'. But not now, because what I am about to convey is the Supreme Being.

Our will requires the best colleagues to execute it. In this mission, they need to be extremely firm and loyal, as well as extremely meticulous and exquisite."

"You guys." Nizam glanced at the crowd, "Are you such a colleague?"

"Your Majesty, please convey this! We will never let down the Supreme Being!" The crowd responded uniformly.

In fact, these young priests have long been worried about their duties. Because two months ago, they were not priests of the third faith. Most of them were temporarily transferred from the Alliance, Three Empires and even the city by His Majesty Nizam.

I borrowed it. At first everyone thought it was an important task, but ended up copying it. This was obviously a waste.

"Very good. I'm very pleased to see everyone's high fighting spirit." Nizam walked along the carpet and came to the huge desk at the end. He carefully placed a pale gold letter on the table and then raised his head.

Come and ask, "Have the security measures been set up?"

"Your Majesty, the nine levels of alert have been completed!" A cold, low, metal-like voice came from outside the gate. This voice belonged to Tenasi, the chief knight of the Black Flame Knights, the most elite armed force of the third faith. Although the name Tenasi does not count.

Everyone, but he was once the supreme martial arts enlightenment instructor and a core member of the Keda family. With him personally setting up the defense, the matter was no small matter.

"This is the supreme will and cannot be proclaimed by mouth." Nizam looked at everyone, "Start from my left hand and read it in order. You are not allowed to chant or take notes. You can only keep the writing on it firmly in your heart.

, and then completely forget about it when it’s done.”

Seeing that what Nizam said was so serious, the priests did not dare to be careless. They walked up one by one, picked up the letter under the supervision of Nizam, and read the contents carefully. However, it was better not to read it. After reading it, no one could

Stay calm...anger, shock, and doubts filled their eyes. If they didn't know the loyalty of the majesty in front of them, if they didn't understand the difficulty of this matter, and if they didn't trust the system they were in, they would directly put Ni

The praise was torn to pieces!

"Your Majesty! We need an explanation!" After everyone had seen it, a stern-faced priest stood directly in front of Nizam and questioned him bluntly. This priest was very young, only in his early twenties.

He is both civilized and military and has a special status. Not only is he a descendant of the nobles of the old faction, but he is also the brother-in-law of the supreme eldest brother! Because he is good at ancient literature and history, he was forcibly recruited from the Regenburg Army after the war... He always considered himself an officer, and this is also

Why did he dare to question Nizam?

"I feel the same as you, but this order was personally delivered to me by the Supreme Being!" Nizam's face was as dark as water. "I can tell you now that after receiving this order, we established the Hall of Heroes. You are now

It’s because of this order that I came here.”

"It's not that we ignore your Majesty's words." Another priest said, "But this order is too bizarre. We need to verify it."

"Everyone's caution is necessary, I don't mind." Nizam nodded approvingly, "There will be a meeting in the evening, and all the alliance ministries will send people there, because we are only responsible for the more important part of the whole thing, and we must follow it

General action plan. At the meeting, Queen Katherine Hagrid will be present as a representative of the royal family. General Leighton Lorenzo will be present for the military, Governor Cort will be present for the internal affairs, Gardenan will be present for the tribe, and representatives of the allies will be

Her Majesty the Empress Berni Ebbinghaus..."

Every time Nizam said a name, the priests' doubts were reduced by one point, and their anger was eliminated by one point. Because the participants in this meeting were all members of the core layer of the alliance, their appearance was basically to ensure the authenticity of this plan.

.

"Finally, when the whole thing reaches a certain level and we take action," Nizam lowered his voice, "The Supreme Being will personally issue instructions to you."

Nizan's words completely dispelled people's concerns, so the priests really began to look at the problem from the perspective of completing their mission, and also understood their true purpose. Nearly forty people from the General Staff and nobles gathered here.

The parliament, the Ministry of the Interior, the major war zones, the Liaison Department, and even the middle and senior officials and generals of the royal family are all the team responsible for executing major battles.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for my attitude just now." The young man who was the most skeptical before took a step forward, "I am from the Southern Front, so I will sort out the branches of the second-line army of the Southern Front.

"

"Your Majesty, I come from the Liaison Department and am mainly responsible for the Far North. I will sort out the branches in this area."

"I come from the second hall of Youshuang Palace, and I will sort out the branches related to the imperial concubine."

"I come from the Thirty-Six Tribes..."

"I come from a traditional noble family..."

"I am from a foreign race..."

Not long after, the whole thing had been divided. Although the details could not be provided for the time being, each branch had a person in charge. Nizam looked calm, but he was very happy in his heart, because everyone standing here was very clever.

People, he just needs to bring some mature and prudent people to check the supervision results. In the whole plan, inspection is very important, and it is enough to overdraw his own energy.

Because what they want to do is to eliminate traces of the existence of the Supreme Being and the people around the Supreme Being... Remove a series of names headed by "Cohen Kedar" from history books, from daily speech, and even from people's memories.

.

Frankly speaking, this is an extremely difficult task, so what they have to perform is only the first step: to separate the Great Emperor of the Sbia Alliance from the Supreme. From now on, from legends to records, the Great Emperor and the Supreme are nothing.

The relationship between two people from different eras and backgrounds. To this end, they have to visit countless scholars and historians and use countless special methods.

"One last question, Your Majesty." Finally, a priest with a strategic vision who came from the General Staff said, "We are only executing the internal part of the alliance, but there are too many people who know the whole incident. The three-year time limit,

very difficult!"

"Don't look at me, gentlemen." The priest from the Liaison Department felt the pressure, "Everyone knows this, and the Liaison Department can't do anything about it."

"He's right, you don't have to guess. Regarding the external part of the alliance, it will be implemented by the army and foreign officials, and it will be carried out together with the pursuit of the remaining enemy forces. Just today, they have started now. Because of this

There is no price to negotiate for the three-year deadline!" Nizan smiled slightly, "Then, we don't even need to wait until the meeting. Let us do the easiest thing first. Of course, this is also the will of the Supreme Being."

The priests immediately stood at attention, and there was a sound of heels hitting each other in the hall.

"In the name of the Chief Priest of the Third Faith, I declare that from now on, we will...abandon the name of the Third Faith!" Nizam faced everyone's gaze and spoke decisively, "We will change the name to the 'Sacred Temple'. This

It is the name chosen by the Supreme Being Himself.”

"Holy Temple!" the priests repeated softly, weighing the meaning and weight of the name.

"The sacred temple is actually a combination of two names, the temple and the holy church! Among them, the temple is responsible for the responsibilities on the surface, that is, to promote faith and save the people; while the holy church is responsible for the dark side, that is, to supervise the secular government and prevent disasters

." Nizam continued, "The two parts do not belong to each other and do not interfere with each other. For example, the Hall of Heroes is the light and dark parts, and you belong to the Holy Church."

"Compared with the temples and demon temples that have become history, we do not tax or collect labor. We only accept anonymous donations and annual allocations from various empires. Moreover, our ultimate mission is not to promote miracles, but to protect the people.

"

"Protect the people?" This kind of will inevitably makes people confused. "The alliance is already improving the law and internal affairs system..."

"In any era, there can be no absolute justice and impartiality. People will always be caught in tragedy when encountering unexpected events. There are also many losers left behind by this progressive and developing world." Nizam expressed in detail.

He showed great patience, "We cannot save all the people in tragedy. But as long as he shouts and is heard by us, the temple will become his refuge and protect his life. Don't misunderstand, the sacred temple is just

The most basic protection, something no normal person would expect from us."

"In this case...will..."

"I understand that we will be very busy, we will be taken advantage of, and we will even be looked at as fools." Nizan smiled, "But please think about it, those people who are despairing, those who abandon their lives, don't they

Have you ever hoped for a chance of survival? Have you never longed for a hand to save yourself? If the law and officials are powerless, we are the only ones left, and at this point we don’t care why.”

“If the targets are desperate people, it’s feasible,” said someone who fully foresees the complexity of the mission, “but our actions will have a big impact on the bureaucracy, and they will be dissatisfied.”

"I will explain to those who are dissatisfied, if the other party is worthy." Nizam's smile seemed inscrutable, "The Supreme Being has said that in order to pursue collective interests, people's concentrated will creates a bureaucracy, which controls and uses the largest

resources, but this does not mean that we can abandon stragglers in pursuit of profit...the sacred temple can serve as a regulating agency."

"The Supreme Being has also said that it is difficult for a group to detect its own corruption, especially in the face of interests." A priest said, "By doing this in the sacred church, it is easy to stand on the opposite side of the bureaucracy."

"We will not be against anyone, we just tell people what is right and wrong, and who should cry out to them." Nizam showed a deep smile, "From the perspective of the overall environment, the sacred temple cannot satisfy everyone.

Live in happiness, but we can make people understand the meaning of happiness and let them pursue it. I almost forgot to tell you...the supreme will is that war will not be tolerated within a hundred years!"

"As you command!"

"The sacred temple will become a very important existence. We will promote the spirit and will of God, become a crutch for mankind, and become a mirror of reflection for mankind. Wherever there are humans, there must be praise and singing to God! So we will be there

All empires and city-states will set up palaces, and we will fill the world of Bis, but apart from our mission, we will not interfere in worldly disputes."
