Extras Dark Legends - A Trip to the Temple of Light
Paradise Island, the northernmost island on the Bis Continent, is the home of the God of Light.
It uses a vast ocean to separate itself from the continent of Bis, and allows the ever-lasting thick fog to cover its body, making the position of the paradise island in the sea as illusory as a dream and legend.
Everyone knows that Paradise Island is there, at a certain point, but no one can find it, and of course no one knows anything about it.
Paradise Island, like its owner, is mysterious and unpredictable.
Now, it smiled at the young heroes from the entire Divine Alliance and opened the passage to the Bes Continent with its own hands.
In a temple square in the south of Paradise Island, the huge magic teleportation array was constantly emitting bursts of white light. The various runes painted on the surrounding ground shimmered and came to life, floating into the air and dancing... A team
Human beings in different costumes walked out of the magic circle. They came from the three divine kingdoms of Bis continent, and they were all the most outstanding talents in the divine alliance in the past twenty years.
As these people walked, they marveled at this magic circle that exuded brilliant light... Its hugeness is beyond your imagination. It is not a problem to accommodate thousands of people. Although the magisters from various gods and kingdoms can
Make a magic circle, but it is a short-distance teleportation. You can't even think about a distance of more than five miles! And the scale is not generally small. If three or two kittens stand on that kind of thing, it will feel very crowded... Why?
It can be compared with this huge, living-like magic circle!
On one side of the square, three temple priests in red robes were standing there quietly.
Seeing the people's shocked expressions, the three priests of the Temple of Light who came to greet them were very satisfied.
Although these people are the new generation of dazzling talents in the Kingdom of God, and they will all hold important positions in the upcoming new war between gods and demons, but... they should still see all this with their own eyes and see the grandeur, solemnity and beauty of the temple.
Powerful! This is good for strengthening their belief in serving the temple and the God of Light.
"Everyone!" The white-clothed priest who accompanied everyone all the way saw that everyone had arrived, and began to speak in a slightly louder voice: "Please go this way to meet the three highest leaders of the temple and the spokespersons of the Gods.
The most loyal servant of the God of Light—the red priest!"
The crowd immediately let out a low cry of surprise. The red priest of the temple actually came to greet him in person! This is a great honor!
You know, the red priests are the highest-status priests in the Temple of Light. They lead all the temples of the divine kingdom on the continent of Bis. From a certain perspective, their status is higher than the emperor and second only to God!
Hearing the sound of more than a thousand people gasping for air, feeling the reverent gazes of these humans... the expressions on the faces of the three red priests became even more sacred, their eyes so pure that it seemed as if they were just glanced at casually.
It can influence babies who are less than a hundred days old, and a simple swipe can shock a stubborn old man who is over a hundred years old. A simple swipe can make millions of demons cry for father and mother...
What a noble demeanor! What a dignified appearance! A group of white-clothed priests who were not qualified to step forward stood far away. Their throats were choked, their eyes were red, and their faces were filled with tears... Many people secretly made up their mind on the spot that they would die.
I must practice the expression of the red priest as soon as possible! Whoever doesn’t let me practice, I, I, I will fight with anyone!
The guests visiting from various countries were separated from the guards, and the important people walked towards the three red priests, led by several priests in white.
"This is the left priest in red, this is the right priest in red, and the one in the middle is the chief priest in red." After being introduced by others, the three red priests nodded frequently to this group of young people.
"Go on! Let us get to know this group of outstanding young people." The red-clothed officiant said to a white-clothed priest.
"Yes, officiant!" The priest in white cleared his throat and said loudly: "Please invite the prince and subordinates of the Tansi Empire of the Divine Alliance to come to see you..."
A tall and thin prince walked up quickly with two ministers. Before they arrived, he had already bowed deeply to grab the hand of the officiant, and kissed the back of the officiant's hand with reverence...
Of course, how can we let go of the backs of the hands of Zuoji-sama and Youji-sama?
"Prince Letu of the Tanxi Empire and his two ministers, they have performed well in previous trials." The white-clothed priest who was responsible for the introduction continued: "Now, please give your blessings to the three adults!"
"Followers of the God of Light!" The three red priests successively said blessing words: "Because of your loyalty and persistence, I bless you..."
In the crowd waiting for the audience, everyone was watching this scene excitedly, thinking: "It's going to be my turn soon! It's going to be my turn soon! The three red priests are going to bless me!"
"
But among them, there was a guy dressed in black. He didn't seem to care much about this touching scene.
His hands were casually placed on his abdomen, and his palms were inserted into the open skirt of his robe. He lowered his head and swayed his body from side to side... his expression was lazy and his eyes were dull.
This person is, of course, the Governor of the Dark Province of the Sbia Empire—Count Cohen Keda, a guy who although has a bad reputation, feels good about himself.
"Hey, my dearest prince..." Cohen said to Fichet, who was dressed in white and had a peaceful expression next to him: "Well, what kind of place is that Tansi Empire...?"
"Tansi Empire." Fichet turned to look at him: "It is the northernmost country among all the countries in the Divine Alliance. Although its products are relatively poor... its vast territory and bitter cold make its people hardworking and tenacious, and its army
It is huge and powerful. It is said that the iron army is like a forest and the fierce generals are like clouds... The national power cannot be underestimated! It is one of the countries that the temple values most."
"That's right!" Cohen said: "Then what country are the people going up now from?"
"That is Prince Ribera of the Bansai Empire." Fichet said: "His country is located in the center of the Divine Alliance, so its geographical location is very important. In addition, their imperial army is based on several types of
The very distinctive military branch is famous all over the world..."
"Oh! I understand." Governor Cohen said suddenly, "Then, which shrimps are next?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the priest in white say loudly: "Please invite the prince of the Sbia Empire of the Divine Alliance and his subordinates to come to see you..."
Fichet shook his head angrily and amusedly, and walked towards the three red priests. Governor Cohen cursed something in a low voice and followed him one step behind.
With a smile on his face, Fichet walked slowly to the three red priests.
"Hello, the officiant." He bent down slightly, took the officiant's hand and put it to his mouth and made a gesture: "I am Fichet from the Sbia Empire. I am very happy to experience your experience here today.
Style!”
"Oh! Are you Fichet?" The officiant had already forgotten that Fichet didn't kiss his hand like others. He sighed and said to the other two red priests beside him: "This is Fichet! I didn't expect it to be like this.
so young!”
Two red priests came over and chatted affectionately with Fichet.
"Is this Lord Zuoji? It was you who came to my country to distribute food relief seventeen years ago! The whole country has always admired your noble character very much!" Fichet held the hands of three red priests one after another.
, spoke enthusiastically and appropriately, without neglecting anyone among them: "Master Youji, your voice and smile are even better than before. You are no longer the same as you were in the Holy City ten years ago. The residents of the Holy City will never forget you!"
"Where, where..."
"Prince Fichet is still young..."
Several red-clothed priests gathered around and chatted affectionately with Prince Fichet, which confused Cohen behind Fichet. At the same time, Fichet also stole all the limelight from the audience of the Three Kingdoms.
Fichet's every move, word and deed made everyone present, including the princes and ministers, feel ashamed, but his natural kindness and elegant appearance could not be imitated by ordinary people.
"Ah! Three adults." Fichet finally remembered the person behind him: "This is the governor of our country's Dark Province, who was appointed brigadier general of the royal army by his father a few days ago - Count Cohen Keda.
"
"Is that the one who defended the altar during the trial temple defense battle in the Pota Empire... Count Cohen Keda?" That's what he said, but the officiant's expression when speaking to Cohen was more serious than when speaking to Fichet.
Be colder: "Not bad! Young man, you protected three princes and hundreds of priests in white! It shows that you are young and promising!"
The officiant's right hand has been slightly raised, ready for Governor Cohen to kiss. This is the second person besides Fichet that the officiant has done this to today. Even for Fichet's sake, this is very unusual.
Courtesy.
Seeing this scene, many people nearby couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced: "What! A rogue governor is worthy of the officiant doing this! That's the officiant! And that guy is just a little governor! What a governor!"
My family is full of people! Yes, there is also a rather big post of brigadier general. Just wait, I will make all the little soldiers who are looking after me brigadier generals as soon as I get home!"
Then I remembered that when I kissed the back of the officiant's hand, his expression seemed a bit reluctant... The hearts of the waiting people were even more sour.
Governor Cohen also smiled like Fischette. Although his smile was a little deformed, it was still within an acceptable range. He bent down and took the hand of the officiant.
"As white and flawless as jade...as round and smooth as a newborn baby...Master Priest!"
Governor Cohen raised his head, his sincere smile turned into a greedy look: "What kind of cosmetics do you use?"
"Governor Cohen, it's not good for young people to be addicted to these things!" The officiant replied with a smile: "As long as you serve the God of Light carefully, good luck will surely come to you."
But I thought in my heart: "You deserve to know? I won't tell you!"
But what kind of person is Governor Cohen? If he can be dismissed easily, can he still be called a rogue? He was already unhappy when he was waiting for the audience!
"Yes! You are the closest to the God of Light. You three must be the greatest existences besides the God of Light!" Governor Cohen said with admiration on his face: "I'm so excited, really... really... really not
Know how to express my feelings!"
His words made Fichet beside him worried, and it was impossible to interrupt him at this time. He just asked him not to go too far... But the other people didn't feel strange at all, because ordinary people would be like this when they see the officiant.
I was very excited. Governor Cohen's behavior was absolutely normal.
"But..." Governor Cohen paused, as if he had made a major discovery: "How can a kiss on the hand express my mood at this moment?"
"Everyone!" He turned around suddenly and shouted to the people on the side: "In front of us are the three red priests we admire, who have extremely high attainments! What a lofty status they have - ah? They
Selfless dedication, broad-minded, honest and noble..."
He kept talking until the three red priests all blushed at his praise - this was a rare sight. The three old men together were over two hundred and fifty years old, and they were not so shameless...
hey-hey!
"...So, I have decided!" Governor Cohen's eyes are now very pure, so pure that it is almost unreal: "We must use a more reasonable, more direct, and more enthusiastic way to pay tribute to these three great figures who are as great as gods.
Show my respect!"
"Governor Cohen... you can't say that." The three people, who didn't know the impending disaster, were still modest: "We are just servants of the God of Light..."
Fischette on the side has already lowered his head. No one knows Cohen better than him. The intensity of his revenge methods is often closely related to the length of the prelude to revenge... Just like now, it could have happened before.
Cohen had been preparing for revenge for about ten minutes, and everyone present, including the person involved, was stunned by his fanatical words.
"Three!" Governor Cohen turned around and opened his arms: "Please accept my... most warm hug!"
Before the red-clothed officiant could recover, he was hugged tightly by Cohen who had taken a step forward. Cohen's hands were stuck on his waist and crossed from behind, and his palms were still firmly clasped on his shoulders...
"Don't wrinkle my robe..." The officiant was thinking like this at the time: "This reckless guy!"
In everyone's surprised eyes, Governor Cohen tightened his hands!
"Crack!" A deep and thin sound like popping beans came from the red-dressed officiant.
"Ah! I'm sorry! Please forgive me... Please forgive me, I'm so excited!" Governor Cohen stammered: "I didn't do it well... Do it again!"
Crackling...
When Cohen let go, the expression on the red priest's face was neither happy nor sad. He seemed a little moved, but also a little confused... I don't know what he was thinking.
The people who had met him before expressed regret: "Why didn't I think of hugging the three adults? It's a pity that this great honor was chosen in vain by this scoundrel."
"Ah!" Governor Cohen rushed towards his next target: "Dear Lord Zuoji!"
Crackling...
Mr. Youji has a quick mind and knows that although this thing looks normal, the sound is not good. When he was thinking about whether he should take a step or two back, he found that Governor Cohen's foot had already stepped on him.
On the corner of the floor-length robe.
Given the two options of being naked or accepting a hug, Youshou-sama had no choice but to choose the latter.
"Ah! Dear Youji-sama! I know! You must be looking forward to it!"
Crackling...
At this solemn moment, with everyone watching, can the three red priests shout loudly?
Of course not!
After finally waiting for Governor Cohen to hug him enough and move away...it was only then that the officiant's face was so moved that he twitched, and a slightly forced smile appeared on his face.
"You..." the officiating priest said to a priest in white: "Take everyone to visit the temple!"
"Okay, sir!" The priest in white said to everyone: "The audience is over - please come with me to the princes and ministers of the three kingdoms!"
Everyone said goodbye to the three red priests and left reluctantly.
Seeing that everyone was gone, the three red priests could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground almost at the same time. The people around them stepped forward to help them, and immediately there was a burst of screams.
"Hey!" His Highness Fichet said softly to Governor Cohen beside him: "You just went too far."
"Tch-I don't care! Who are the three of them?" Governor Cohen said nonchalantly: "By the way, why are they like flies seeing flesh when they see you? You're so sticky, don't you feel numb?
?”
"Has anyone described your Highness like this?" His Highness Fichet looked around and whispered: "Want to know? There is no door!"
"No way? You have to think about it!" Governor Cohen smiled: "I am your best and best brother!"
His Highness Fichet turned around with an expression on his face that said, "I just won't tell you what you can do to me."
Governor Cohen was still smiling, with an expression on his face that said, "Say it, please do it, please do it quickly."
I just won’t say it!
If you don’t tell me, I want you to look good!
come!
Just wait, don't regret it!
"Everyone, please see, this is a prayer room in the temple." The priest in white explained to everyone: "It is usually used by low-level priests who have just come to the temple to study. Please pay attention to the murals on the wall, which are about...
"
Slowly, the priest in white realized that no one was listening to him. Everyone was focusing on the two people behind him... His Highness Fichet and Governor Cohen. They didn't know why they were looking at each other.
"Hero!" Suddenly, Governor Cohen let out an earth-shattering cry! He knelt down on one knee, hugged His Highness Fichet's thigh with both hands, and begged loudly in a voice that was loud enough to scare people to death!
"Hero! Tell me! Tell me this big secret! Ah?" He shouted hysterically, and the huge voice surged back and forth in the empty hall, making everyone's ears buzz: "
Tell me! Tell me! I’m not afraid of danger, I really am not afraid! Let me go! Tell me... If you don’t tell me, I will die now!”
Anyone who is familiar with him knows that Governor Cohen... is being shady again!
However, no one here is familiar with him. Everyone around him was frightened, and they didn't know what happened between the two. Judging from Governor Cohen's words, it seemed that this was about a big secret... and danger...
...It is not an ordinary danger. Therefore, the governor is trying his best to know and rush to do it... It seems that Governor Cohen is still a very good person!
But why did he call His Highness Fichet a hero?
Wasn't His Highness Fichet shocked? Although several friends often joked with each other like this in private, but where is this place? This is a temple! A temple that is very close to the God of Light! Just give yourself a hundred courages,
I don't dare to act opposite him now - I put my hands on my face to make a weak and weak gesture, and say something like "Oh, you are so annoying, I scare people, I will never pay attention to you again, huh!"
.
"Cohen, you bastard!" His Highness Fichet cursed in his heart: "You are cruel!"
"Governor Cohen, Sir Cohen, get up quickly." His Highness Fichet, whose face was red, had to compromise: "Although this matter is still a rumor, seeing that Governor Cohen is so righteous, His Highness is willing to share the burden with you!"
"But..." It seems that Governor Cohen is still not at ease: "If His Majesty does not allow Your Highness to tell others about this matter, then wouldn't that humble minister become a national sinner?"
People around him nodded frequently, and many people changed their views on Governor Cohen: "At this time, he is still caring about the royal family. This person is really a rare loyal minister in recent years. Good! He is indeed a good official!"
"Don't worry, Governor!" His Highness Fichet couldn't laugh or cry: "This matter is not complicated, and it is not as serious as your Majesty imagined... No matter what, I will advance and retreat with you! Get up quickly!"
"Yes, thank you Your Highness...please forgive my impulsiveness."
The good show of loyalty and benevolence played by the two people in the temple finally came to a successful end. The other two princes next to them could not help but sigh. They shook their heads and sighed inwardly: "What a good governor! Why don't I have such a person around me?"
?”
Little did he know that His Highness Fichet had been grabbed five times on the thigh and pinched three times by their so-called loyal ministers and capable officials, causing him to suffer unspeakably.
The priest in white saw that everyone had finished watching the show, so he calmed down and took everyone to visit again.
"Tell me!" Governor Cohen asked in a low voice with a normal expression.
"When I was a child, I was very curious about some things and very courageous." His Highness Fichet said, "So I wrote a letter to the then high priest of the Holy City Temple, who is now the right priest among the red priests.
Ask him some religious questions."
"and after?"
"At first, I asked him, maybe because of my status, and he explained in detail. Later, as I grew older, it became him who asked me." His Highness Fichet said: "Even in
After he came to Paradise Island, we still kept in touch... Under his introduction, I would receive some letters from the officiant and the left priest from time to time."
"Holy crap, that's it! So what did you say in the letter?"
"Usually the three red priests quiz me on some religious issues."
"Oh?" Governor Cohen asked in surprise: "Are they training you as their successor?"
"I am a prince." His Highness Fichet chuckled: "How come you become a priest?"
"Then they think they can talk to you particularly well?"
"No." His Highness Fichet said: "If you are lucky enough to see the handouts distributed by the Temple of Paradise Island to the temples of various countries, you will understand."
"I don't understand, just tell me now, I'm not in the mood to look through any handouts!"
"These handouts were compiled by the three red priests." His Highness Fichet whispered: "Most of the contents are very similar to the questions asked of me..."
"I know, you will be the shooter!"
"What gunman?"
"It's just... you don't understand anyway, so there's no need to know!"
After saying that, His Highness Lala Fechet, the governor of Cohen, caught up with the people in front of him.
In one morning, the princes and ministers of the Three Kingdoms only visited a small part of the Paradise Island Temple. Although everyone knew that as the most important temple of the Alliance of Light, it must be very big, they were still deeply shocked by this grand and majestic temple.
.Compared with this temple, the palaces of ordinary empires are like small piles of sand built by children when they pretend to be drinking wine.
The places we have visited include five prayer rooms, two squares and a seminary.
The five prayer rooms are used by priests with different statuses, which does not include those students in the seminary... Because they need to exercise their will, they can only pray in the open air, rain or shine.
The largest of the five prayer rooms is used by newly promoted official priests. It is said to be a prayer room, but it can accommodate three to four thousand people without being too crowded.
There is not even a single pillar in the huge space. On hundreds of sterling silver lamp holders placed on the floor, walls, and overhead, thousands of magic lamps are emitting soft light, illuminating the entire prayer room extremely brightly.
Huge murals with bright colors and exquisite paintings are arranged in an orderly manner on the surrounding walls, all the way to the high vaults. They all tell the story of the countless great achievements of the Guangming God Clan...
Next is the smaller prayer room, which is used by priests with a slightly higher status. Except for the murals becoming reliefs, all the decorations in the room are one level higher.
In short, the smaller the room, the more money you will spend.
As for the square, the first one is the reception square where everyone first arrived. Apart from the magic circle, it is bare and not much to look at.
But the other Plaza of the Gods is different. There are 101 statues of the gods of light that are 100 meters high! They are all finely carved from large pieces of granite. One hundred statues of the gods of light with different postures are covered by
They are arranged in a circle around the square, all facing the statue of the God of Light, Parmizzi Knach, in the center of the square.
The statue of the God of Light is far higher than the other gods. With his wings folded behind him, the God of Light stands there quietly with a sword in one hand and a sutra in the other, with a calm face and warm eyes.
But everyone felt the sharpness, solemnity, kindness, wisdom and holiness of the God King from his statue.
Many people couldn't help but kneel down to the statue of the God of Light, and with tears streaming down their faces, they recounted all their sins from birth to the present.
Their heads hit the bluestone floor again and again, committing all kinds of sins ranging from trampling ants to death to rampant demons! Their level of piety even made the accompanying priests sigh with emotion...
Everywhere we went, the above scene reappeared, so much so that it severely delayed the priests' original visit plan. By the time they finished visiting the seminary, they ran out of time.
Because the three red priests had already hosted a banquet in the main dining room, there was no need to delay.
Just as the banquet was coming to an end, the officiant finally announced what everyone had been waiting for.
"Everyone knows that we are not the ones you came to see in Paradise Island. Our temple is only responsible for welcoming you. Now, you are going to see the God of Light!"
The guests from the Three Kingdoms sitting here looked intently, with awe-inspiring righteousness, but they were all shouting wildly in their hearts!
"Please prepare well. Later today, we will send you to the place you have longed for!" The officiant stood straight and very energetic: "For everyone, there are not many opportunities like this. It is very possible.
This is once in a lifetime!”
Looking at the extremely excited people, the officiant continued: "Because we can no longer accompany you, everyone must pay attention to your words and deeds! In that extremely sacred area, you no longer represent a person or an empire.
, you represent the entire Divine Alliance! You are the billions of humans under the wings of the God of Light!"
"If anyone is disrespectful in front of the Light God Clan... even if the Light God Clan doesn't hold them accountable, our temple will still have to take care of it!" The officiant glanced at someone: "Now, please tell me, Master Zuo, what everyone should know first.
thing."
"Everyone should understand that the God of Light we admire and worship is kind and wise. Because of this, we must pay more attention to our every move!" Master Zuoji said the opening remarks while opening the sealed scroll in his hand and reading from the script.
: "After the banquet, everyone immediately bathed in holy water. The princes of the Three Kingdoms wore pure white dresses provided by the temple, and no decorations or ribbons were allowed on the dresses..."
"The civil servants of the Three Kingdoms wear pure white one-piece robes...the generals wear silver one-piece armor...they are not allowed to carry any items except those provided by the temple...then I ask Mr. Youji to announce the list."
"There are a lot of people this time, please listen carefully." Mr. Youji coughed and read out a long list of names: "...The last one! Governor Cohen!"
Cohen, who didn't know what he was thinking, was stunned: "Yes, I'm here!"
"Because of the outstanding performance of you and your subordinates in the Pota Empire, and because of the strong recommendation from the temples of the Pota and Riva empires, I ask you to bring your generals, Geert, Moya and Jack, to the audience together!
"
"Okay!" Governor Cohen answered very simply.
"I know that these three are not nobles yet." Mr. Youji specially said: "Please be more restrained!"
Listening to Governor Cohen's more straightforward answer, His Highness Fichet was shocked again and complained in his heart: "Governor Cohen is already worrying enough, and you still ask him to restrain his subordinates?"
"Okay! That's almost it!" The officiant stood up with some difficulty: "Everyone, prepare to take a bath! We will see you off later!" (To be continued)
