After nightfall, Rodolfo hurried over outside the temple in Dordo District, Fabro City.
Wizards are most effective at night. You don't know what surprises you may encounter when dealing with the temple, so it's better to be careful. In Jennifer's case, it only delayed one night and one morning, so it's not a big delay.
According to Rudolph's arrangement, the witch hunters have surrounded the temple, and the witch hunters are surrounded by police officers.
Standing next to Speaker Arden, Rudolf said: "I'm very sorry, Director Matsu died in Gassai Town. Priest Panne got the support of the evil god and attacked us in Gasai Town, and Director Matsu was unfortunately killed."
Rudolf's words were not meant for Arden. There was no need for verbal communication between him and Arden now. Whatever he wanted Arden to do, he could use Arden's new personality to turn the order into a subconscious one, which was very covert.
His words were spoken to the people around Arden, to reassure these people.
Arden replied: "I learned the bad news early this morning. Fighting against heretics is always full of danger. I was also a witch hunter, and I understand the risks involved."
He pointed to Perin aside: "Perrin is now the acting director of the Judgment Office. When he becomes a level 4 alchemist, he will officially become the director."
Palin reported in a low voice at this time: "Speaker Arden, Mr. Furnace, according to the investigation, Director Matsu has been very close to the Evil God Cult recently. He has had secret conversations with the Pain Priest Panne four times."
Arden said: "Let's stop the matter about Mazu. He was the director of the Judgment Bureau who sacrificed his life to fight against the evil cult."
Palin didn't object when he saw the furnace, so he didn't say much.
For the Parliament, this is the simplest and most beneficial result. Whether the Director of the Judicial Office colluded with the Evil God Cult or the furnace was present when the Director of the Judicial Office died, it would be troublesome for the Parliament and could easily cause adverse effects.
Palin continued: "Speaker, the situation outside is very bad, worse than the situation in the Evil Temple. Believers from various sects are like crazy, trying to rush around the temple to guard the temple."
Since Panner's death, the Evil Temple has issued an order to all believers. Parliament cannot stop this order at all. Believers have already received instructions from the church when they pray.
There were sounds of arguments and fighting in the distance. It was the police officers struggling with the believers, trying to drive away the believers surrounding them.
Arden said: "This is the trouble with the Evil God Cult. They can control the servants of gods and believers, making all our actions timid."
In the night sky, several airships were already in place. The multiple rocket launchers on the sides of the airships were aimed downward at the temple on the ground.
"Prepare to attack and blow the temple to the ground."
More than a dozen rocket launchers fired at the same time, and the rockets trailed long tail flames and rushed towards the Evil Temple.
Only then did Rudolph realize the benefits of being an Alchemist's teammate. The Alchemist's powerful firepower made many things easy.
Palin also thoughtfully explained to Rudolf: "There are only a dozen level 3 priests in the church currently resisting. They have very little divine power at their disposal. The battle will soon be resolved."
Rockets with different effects hit the roof of the temple. With the support of the divine power of the god of craftsmen, a means of trapping the priest, a protective plate appeared on the dome of the temple.
In Palin's words, the priests in the Evil Cult were too low-level. These protective panels may have lasted for one second, or they may have lasted for two seconds, and then they were blown away by rockets and hit the dome stone below.
Level 5 alchemical rockets continued to bombard the temple, and there were terrible explosions in the temple.
Soon, the tall temple was devoured by artillery fire.
The rockets completed the first round of attack, and most of the rockets entered the reloading stage.
The dust gradually dissipated, and only a few walls remained where the temple was. The temple with the dome no longer existed.
In the ruins, a figure stood up unsteadily. It was a level 3 priest. He shouted:
"When the gods set foot on the Northern Continent again! You will pay the price for your blasphemy!"
Another rocket fell from the sky, and the priest was blown to ashes before he could say the rest of his threat.
Rudolf, who watched the whole process, felt that the alchemist's method was very satisfying, simple, crude, efficient and powerful.
The action was over, and Rudolph walked towards their newly purchased home.
The controlling police officers had already evacuated, and the collapsed believers rushed towards the ruins of the temple.
They cried bitterly around the ruins of the temple, falling to the ground and clutching the dust left by the ruins.
These people are very pitiful. Once they become believers of evil gods, their emotions and behaviors are out of their control. Worship of evil gods completely changes their mental state.
Rudolf watched the miserable appearance of the believers from the outside for a while, and left silently, hoping that they could get over their dependence on the evil god as soon as possible and partially recover their mental state.
While walking on the road, Rudolf suddenly noticed that someone was following him.
Standing under the streetlight, Rudolph looked back and saw a young man: "Zach?"
"Mr. Rudolf, do you still remember me?"
He was once a beggar in Laimang Town, and later entered the Dordo District Almshouse. He was one of the children taken in by Rudolf and Yin Fengna at that time.
By chance, Zach became the Servant of the God of Pain through the Stone of Pain, which gave him the ability to protect other beggars.
"Of course I remember you. Yin Fengna was contacting the children who had lived in the relief home. She couldn't find you. How are you doing now?"
Zach's eyes were downcast, and there was uncontrollable pain in his heart.
This is a terrible feeling. It is obviously very painful, but the divine power in the body is more active.
"Mr. Rudolf, I have to leave."
"Go? Where?"
Zach said: "Mr. Rudolf, I am now a Level 2 Pain Priest. I have received guidance. God has asked all believers to gather towards the Kingdom of Elba. The Church will land at the port of Elba, and we must respond to the Church.
The call.”
Zach did not do it voluntarily, but once he became a follower of the evil god, many things were out of his control.
"Mr. Rudolf, the children in the workhouse have grown up a few years ago, and most of them can survive. However, I still want to ask you. I hope you can provide some help to them."
"Okay, I will make some arrangements."
After speaking, Zach turned around and was about to leave. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"I'm sorry, Zach."
Zach looked back, a little confused, wondering why Mr. Rudolph wanted to apologize.
"I didn't know much about the Evil God at the time. I didn't know that this was such a cruel path to become an apostle. If I had known about it earlier, I would have prevented you from becoming the Servant of the God of Pain."
The more he learned about the Cult of Evil, the more Rudolph regretted that he had stopped Zach in the first place.
Just like parents with poor conditions don't want to have children, they don't want their children to suffer along with them. At that time, Rudolph was only a level 2 wizard, and he was completely unable to protect a wizard apprentice, and in the end he watched Zach become a servant of God.
Zach smiled and said: "Mr. Rudolph, everyone has his or her own destiny. I have done a lot of things with my abilities in the past few years, and I am very satisfied. You don't need to apologize. I'm glad to know you."
.”
From being a beggar in Laimang Town, to the workhouse in Dordo District, to struggling to survive as a child in Fabro City, Zach feels that he is very lucky.
Rudolf saw Zach's figure disappearing into the darkness, and sighed, wondering if he really had a destiny, and hoped that Zach could climb out of the abyss in the future.
