Volume 8: The End, Chapter 821: The Temple (Part 2)
The rules of the temple are extremely strict, not only far stricter than the military laws of major empires, but even stricter than the rules of the Holy Knights.
As the Lord of the Temple, Iros has the power of life and death over ordinary members of the Temple.
At this moment, in the Holy Church, his authority is actually second only to the Holy Son Heathcote, and his status is still above the head of the Holy Knights.
As soon as Ilos drank, all the temples immediately remembered the consequences of disobeying the Lord of the temples and stopped involuntarily.
The Holy Church is different from other institutions of the Holy Church. There is no tolerance here, only obedience.
Zinda groaned at this moment and struggled to get up from the ground. However, Iros's scepter whizzed down again, and another blood splash splashed on Iros's smiling face.
Iros stretched out his left foot and stepped on the ground. Xinda immediately screamed in extreme pain, but his scream was immediately interrupted by the scepter falling again.
"I have converted to the God of Light, but what does the other main gods of Tiantian Mountain have to do with me? Even those low-level gods can't control me, let alone you little low-level angels! Huh?"
Iros smiled and gasped. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. The scepter in his hand drew bright red tracks in the air and whizzed down, splashing out a small ball with each blow.
Blood flower.
Xinda kept twitching, and a pair of faint wings of light stretched out from behind his back. However, these two wings of light were firmly stepped on by Iros, so he could not move and could only endure the force of the scepter.
Beat.
"What are you? A little low-level angel with no wings, yet you make irresponsible remarks about the place where I sit? How dare you say that the people I lead are heretics?"
A ball of flame suddenly exploded under Iros's feet, and Xinda's light wings were destroyed by him!
Immediately afterwards, the Holy Scepter swung down again, and with a crisp click, Xinda's spine was broken.
"stop!"
There were two saints who seemed to have a deep relationship with Sindar. They couldn't hold back and rushed forward. One pounced on Iros, while the other pulled out a dagger and rushed towards Lilith.
It looked like he wanted to take this little girl, who was as beautiful as a layer of smoke, as a hostage to force Iros to submit.
Little Lilith looked quietly at the rushing church. A faint black energy seemed to flash between her white and tender hands, and then her eyes slowly lowered, as if she was asleep.
The saint who rushed over suddenly screamed, a slanting line of blood appeared in the center of his body, and then his upper body and lower body slowly separated.
The other man who rushed towards the temple of Iros also fell headfirst, and a thin wave of blood suddenly spurted out from behind, like a piece of fluttering red silk.
There was silence in the main hall of the church, and the faces of hundreds of church members were pale.
Iros held the holy scepter and walked slowly towards the altar. The scepter was now covered with blood and was still dripping, drawing a trail of blood behind Iros.
Iros walked up to the altar and sat down calmly, while little Lilith floated closer and quietly grabbed his clothes.
Iros scanned the whole place, took in the expressions of all the saints, and suddenly laughed. In this dead silence of the hall, Iros's sudden laughter was like a thunder, frightening many of the saints to take a step back.
Iros waved the bloody holy scepter in front of him, smiled gently, and said softly: "Who still has any objection to my identity as the master of the temple?"
Iros listened for a moment and did not hear any objection.
So he laughed again and said: "So everyone recognizes my identity? That's good. Now I will talk about the rules of the church in the future. It is very simple. I am the rule, and my decision is the final decision.
!
I know that there are more than a dozen angels among you who have descended or been reincarnated. You must not like me as a devil. In fact, I don't like you either.
From now on, all you have to do is to please me. If you make me feel good, I will just hit and scold you. If you make me feel unhappy, it will not be as simple as tearing off my wings. Do you think so, Qin?
"
When Qin suddenly heard the call, her face instantly turned pale, but her determination was obviously extraordinary and she managed a smile:
"Yes, Lord Iros."
Iros waved to her and said: "Come here, take me to see all the places in the temple, and tell those respected strong men to come and see me, and go out with me to fight more battles."
, more useful than any kind of penance!"
Seeing Qin walking to her side obediently, Iros casually put the Holy Scepter in her hand and walked towards the back of the palace first.
Qin looked at the scepter covered in sticky blood, her face became paler and paler, there was a surge in her throat, and she almost vomited.
The church is very vast.
It took Iros a full half day to look over the most important parts of the church as if at a glance.
Qin explained to him the purpose of various facilities in the church along the way, and intentionally or unintentionally talked about the traditions and morals that the church had always followed. But Iros just walked forward without commenting, and he didn't know if he listened.
Qin only felt that time passed indescribably slowly. She felt more and more that her body was becoming weak and weak, and cold sweat had soaked through her heavy clothes.
What she was afraid of was not Iros, but the little girl floating behind Iros.
The little girl named Lilith was always looking at her. Under that silver gaze, Qin felt her heart beating faster and faster, and her throat began to feel dry.
The most terrible thing was that her back was itching constantly, as if a pair of wings were about to burst out of her clothes!
Qin was deeply grateful that her magic power was not so advanced that she could not even form invisible wings of light, but the inexplicable strange feeling behind her made her fall into deep fear.
After a hurried inspection of the temple, the moon was already high in the secret realm. Iros did not intend to rest. He ordered Qin to summon all the main figures in the temple to the battle hall and began to arrange the first action since taking over the temple.
Perhaps because of the bloody and terrifying ruling methods displayed by Ilos, the people summoned this time all arrived on time, including not one of the seven strong men.
In the center of the battle hall, there is a magic map with a radius of ten meters, covering almost every corner of the continent of Toril.
Iros saw that more than ten of the most important figures in the temple had arrived, so he reached out and pointed on the magic map. The place pointed to was the central mountain range, and said:
"There is a very powerful being hidden here, called Fire Lord Surtur. This guy has been seriously injured recently and is hiding deep underground to sleep.
In my opinion, his current strength is less than half of what he was at his peak. If you don't take advantage of this huge advantage now, then how long will it take? I'll give you three days to build the magic circle leading here.
We will set off soon."
At this time, an old man in charge of military strategy in the temple frowned and said: "Lord Iros, this place is located in the Batoria Empire near the central mountain range. Our teleportation magic circle can only be one-way.
How to come back?"
"How to come back?" Iros smiled coldly and said, "Of course I will come back by killing him!"
Having said that, Iros asked the saints to study their own action plans, waved to Qin, and led her towards the space hall of the church.
The Space Hall is composed of more than ten small halls, eleven of which have teleportation gates built into them. Although these teleportation gates are convenient, they also contain great risks.
At the moment of teleportation, the person being teleported will stay in the space storm for a very short time.
The power of the space storm is so fierce that even the legendary experts cannot say that they will be able to withstand it. Therefore, members of the temple will never use the portal unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing Iros and Little Lily stepping into the portal without any hesitation, Qin smiled bitterly, closed her eyes, and followed her fate.
This time she was lucky and came out of the other end of the portal unscathed.
"I'm going to leave for a while, just wait here."
After giving the instructions, Iros took little Lilith out of the hall, rose into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Qin chased him out of the hall, but Iros' figure had long since disappeared, so he had to give up the idea of chasing.
She looked around and recognized this place as a large temple near the border of the Xirel Empire.
Above the clouds, Iros flew towards Genoa at full speed. He was quite upset and uneasy. Iros could not explain where this feeling of irritation came from. It seemed that something happened in the direction of Genoa that would make him sad.
Or maybe some existence is calling him.
The territory of the Xirel Empire is full of scars left by the war. The Holy Empire's army has approached Genoa. In the north of Genoa, the Holy Empire's light cavalry often penetrate behind the battle lines and can often be seen harassing them.
to burned villages and small towns.
High in the sky, Iros's eyes had turned silver. He had clearly felt that what he was looking for was not far to the north of Genoa.
He suddenly broke through the clouds and fell to the ground like a meteorite.
Below him, there was a village still in thick smoke, which looked like it had just been burned down.
However, the strange thing is that there is a small area in this ruins that is full of vitality, and even many green shoots have sprouted on the scorched earth that still smells faint green smoke.
Iros slowly landed on this strange land filled with rich vitality. In front of him, there was a completely burned-down farmhouse. There was a little girl sitting inside, with a pair of big, clear eyes like water, staring blankly.
looked at him.
Whether it was her aura or her blue eyes with a hint of green, they all told Iros unmistakably that this was the goddess of life.
