Queen Madara and a priest of the dead moon goddess stood next to the podium. The priest wore a black and purple sacrificial robe. The sacrificial robe was paired with a black cloak, fastened on both shoulders with copper buttons, and the sacrificial robe was under the shoulders.
There is a black dragon pattern on each one extending to the bottom of the robe. Brando's stripes represent the status of the priests of the Dead Moon Goddess in the temple: lower-level priests mostly use purple moon patterns, and high-level priests can use cats or
Skeletons distinguish between ordinary priests and executioners. The higher levels of priests and priests can have spider, hydra and wave patterns (the undead worship the Sea of the Dead Moon extremely), but only one person in the entire Temple of the Dead Moon can have the dragon pattern.
Decoration, that is the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon.
Brando narrowed his eyes. He did not expect that the number one and two powerful figures in Madara would meet him at the same time. Although he could not remember who the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon was at this time, he at least understood the authority of the other party in this era.
She is not under the Queen of Madara at all, and may even be slightly more so. After all, before the birth of the mercury staff, the Temple of the Dead Moon has enjoyed a transcendent status in this country of the undead for thousands of years.
Seeing the two of them, Andrea naturally closed her mouth.
Brando saluted the two of them. Her Majesty the Queen was indifferent. However, the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon returned the salute. The etiquette of the undead was very special. They put their right hands on their chests and hung their heads naturally, as if in silence. This process lasted for two or three days.
Seconds are the highest etiquette for the undead to express their respect for eternal death and rest.
The officiant is a human being. As we all know, only humans can be her priests, the goddess of the Dead Moon who represents eternal death and rest. There are no undead souls in the Temple of the Dead Moon. Even the lowest-ranking chores and apprentices in the temple are all humans.
, this is also a wonder in the empire. But the temple has been operating according to such rules for thousands of years. The goddess cares about the kingdom of the dead. But she will not tolerate the dead appearing in her kingdom. The undead are familiar with this.
Adhering to this rule, day after day, the clergy of the Temple of the Dead Moon gradually became the largest number of members of the human dark aristocracy in Madara.
However, although they are human beings, Brando knows that this does not mean that they have common interests with most of the creatures on the continent. Just like most necromancers are also human beings, but they are also Eruin, Saint Osor
Not only that, they are the great enemies of the Cruz people. They are also the leaders and decision-makers in all wars. They are also the ones who have caused the most serious disasters to various countries.
The role played by the Temple of the Dead Moon is the same. In Warnd, any war has a religious background. The undead are no exception. Before the mercury staff came to the world, they unified the undead and launched an attack on Warnd.
After the mercury staff appeared, they once again stood behind the scenes. Brando knew that without the support of the Temple of the Dead Moon, Her Majesty the Queen might not be able to unify the Land of Eternal Death in such a short period of time. And it was called Madea.
Pull the nominal master.
In the following decades, the Temple of the Dead Moon stood firmly behind her. They frequently issued oracles from the Goddess of the Dead Moon, removing all obstacles for the Mercury Staff until this huge empire was established.
After Brando saluted, he saw Delphine standing aside. The prime minister's daughter noticed Brando's gaze and winked at him, indicating that the negotiation was successful. Brando breathed a sigh of relief.
What he is more afraid of now is that Her Majesty the Queen will go back on her word. Although the mercury staff is still in his hand, he still takes the initiative, but who knows whether this powerful woman will go all out to attack them after returning to her familiar territory.
?
In the past two months, he has been alerted more than once by every move made by the opponent, telling him that the king's mind is unpredictable.
Her Majesty the Queen of Madara naturally noticed this subtle interaction between Brando and Delphine, but she didn't pay attention at all, "This is Philip, the officiant." She briefly introduced Brando, Brando Only then did he realize from Her Majesty the Queen's cold tone that the person in front of him was the 'Sincerity' Philip.
The latter served as the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon from the end of the First Era to the first forty years of the Second Era. His greatest achievement was to support Madara's Supreme Being to unify the empire, but Brando did not know who the other party was. In what year did he become the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon? I didn't expect that he would already be in this position.
Historically, Philip was a very low-key man. He was born into a dark noble family in the Realm of Eternal Death. He joined the Temple when he was twelve years old and became a priestly apprentice. His subsequent promotion path was not impressive. He rarely makes mistakes, is devout and trustworthy, and is deeply trusted by several of his mentors. The road to promotion is not smooth, but he has not encountered any major setbacks. He seems to work diligently, Then we entered the center of the temple all the way.
The process of him ascending to the position of chief priest is even more lackluster, because in this era, the Temple of the Dead Moon cannot find a more outstanding genius. His only advantage is that he is more suitable than several other competitors. For this reason, he Obtained the most respected position in the country of the dead moon.
Logically speaking, such a person should lack the kind of spontaneous speculation that is common among great people. To put it more harshly, he lacks the courage to make a desperate move. He should be moderate and cautious, and like to stick to the rules, but he is like this. As a person, he stood firmly behind the mercury staff from the beginning. Even when the power of the Emperor of Madala had not yet emerged, he never wavered. His life was almost He spent his life contributing to the unification of the Dead Moon Empire with the Mercury Staff. According to what many players jokingly call him, and with the support of 'good old man' Philip, even a pig should become the emperor of Madara.
This statement is not unreasonable. Before the rise of the mercury staff, the Temple of the Dead Moon held almost all the say in this dark country. As the chief priest of the Temple of the Dead Moon, the only difference between him and the emperor of the later empire was that he treated the undead lords They do not have absolute domination. Other than that, there is no difference between him and the Supreme Being.
But a person with such power and influence chose to create a person who stood on top of the temple, as if he had taken the initiative to transfer the power of the temple. Some people thought that he was doing this to achieve the unification of the empire. But some people questioned that he did not have such ambitions. Some people thought that he had received the oracle from the goddess of the dead moon. However, various theories could not summarize the chief priest of the dead moon temple until he took down the role of the dead moon temple. Until the position of chief priest gave way to the successor, all the legends about him seemed to be a confusing mystery.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Brando has met this famous person in history, but there are too many heroes and legends in this era. At least compared to the woman next to him, this Phillip officiant is actually nothing. In his mind, the presence of the officiant was exactly the same. His experience seemed like a legend, but upon closer inspection, it seemed ordinary. Compared with ordinary people, he was indescribably mysterious. However, compared with the real legendary heroes of this era, he is nothing more than that.
But no matter what, anyone who has heard of this person will be more or less curious about the latter. What is curious is what is in his heart at this moment, and what kind of belief supports him firmly. Stand behind the mercury staff until this dark empire is unified.
At this moment, Brando looked at the bishop and couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.
Philip seemed a little too dull to notice his gaze. After returning the greeting to Brando, he took off the hat of his priestly robe, revealing a somewhat pale face, that of a middle-aged man without any features. There are also some gray-brown patches on his face and cheeks, like corpse spots. Due to long-term erosion by dark magic, this is a distinctive feature of Cleese's clergy.
But for such a middle-aged man who seemed to be somewhat submissive, after Her Majesty the Queen of Madala introduced him to Brando, she turned back and turned her gaze to the latter, as if asking for his opinion.
Brando noticed this strange scene, he couldn't help but look at the old man, and saw Phillip nodded dully.
Her Majesty the Queen then turned around, looked at him and said: "Mr. Earl, there are so many young people who are ready to make trouble these days that I can't spare the time to receive you. There are so many neglects. You won't Blame it?"
Brando naturally would not take Her Majesty the Queen's polite words seriously, and he shook his head.
Her Majesty the Queen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good then. Most of the promises I made to you on the battlefield that day have been fulfilled. I believe Mr. Earl will not turn a blind eye to the sincerity shown by Madara, right?"
Brando nodded again.
"Now, Madara's army has withdrawn from Eruin, and the sinners that Mr. Earl wanted to punish have now been handed over to you. I have also fulfilled all the requests made by Mr. Earl. I A huge concession has been made, but Mr. Earl must also understand that the transaction is mutual, right?"
For this sentence, Brando can be said to have been waiting for a long time. He knows that Her Majesty the Queen is not someone who just gives in. If she is weak on the one hand, it can only mean that she must have something up her sleeve on the other. It's just that these days, he hasn't been able to figure out why the other party made such a big concession.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was to get back the mercury staff, but as the person involved, Brando knew very well that the mercury staff was also given to him by Her Majesty the Queen herself.
So everything she did that day now needs another answer to explain.
