Crouching in the shadow of the palace beams, watching Queen Catherine hurried towards the direction of the temple, Xu Zhi also slowly stood up.
His right hand trembled for a while before he put down the magic wand.
The magic rod made of the hardest black gold collided with the hardest star silver in this world.
He originally wanted to destroy the foreign objects that the queen might use to eliminate the risk of being discovered while sneaking, so he went around safely to investigate, but Xu Zhi didn't expect to hit such a hard object.
The statue was so strong that it made Xu Zhi doubt his life. The ability of the 'Unknown Man' to explode at fixed points only caused the statue to split into several pieces.
Then the huge recoil force came, and Xu Zhi felt that his palm also wanted to break into several pieces.
This is also because he has the ability of a body refiner and has the attributes of a dragon at the same time. If he were a normal great cultivator, there is a high probability that he would need to roll in the air and flee in panic at this moment.
The statue's protective measures did not harm him, but the shock force made Xu Zhi extremely uncomfortable.
After retreating with one blow, he did not stay in the palace square, but directly sneaked into the palace hall.
The search by many guards can only be regarded as a formality, seeking some inner comfort.
What Xu Zhi didn't expect was that Catherine did not return to the palace and strengthen the guards around her, but went to the temple.
He had questions in his mind, but he didn't follow them for a while.
When Qi and blood were boiling and his palms were sore, Xu Zhi could only perform Qi training to let his body slowly recover.
He has the most commonly used 'dragon power' and 'anti-demon' magical possessions on his body. At this time, it is difficult for him to have magical power to restore his body.
These are two powerful magics. One gives him top-notch striking power, while the other allows him to avoid the golden lightning cage.
At this time, in the sky above the temple in the distance, the six four-winged angels in Yunzhong City began to descend and kept flying around the temple.
The angel did not guard the palace, but went to guard the temple, which also made Xu Zhi feel strange.
Catherine did not rush back to the palace, but eventually went to the temple.
Some questions are hidden in my heart.
But at this time, the temple was obviously under strict inspection, and Xu Zhi did not rush to the temple immediately.
As his body continued to recover, Xu Zhi also began to look at the palace.
There was no sound in the palace, and it was extremely deserted.
The same goes for walking from the lobby to various rooms.
Some of the corridors were even covered in dust and looked like no one had been there for a long time.
Some portraits of queens and kings hang on the walls.
Above the portrait, the queen is leaning next to a middle-aged man, looking quite happy.
"Is it possible that you have no heirs?"
In the eastern continent of the world of the four main gods of the four elements, the Kingdom of Parada was established in the name of the Kingdom of Erathia, which even gave rise to great chaos among the true heirs of the kingdom.
Among the many photo frames, there are obviously no princes and princesses.
If it wasn't a deliberate portrait, it means that these two people did not have any children.
This makes the civil strife in the Kingdom of Parada somewhat ridiculous.
It is difficult to find many secrets in a place that has not been visited for a long time. Xu Zhi took a full circle and found very little.
This is not because there are no usable things in the palace, but because of his different status and wealth, some of the items belonging to the survivors have become difficult to appreciate.
Besides, he couldn't stuff the items into the elemental realm and take them away at this time...
Xu Zhi finally took a quick look around to investigate.
After the sun, which was not very hot in the sky, went down and darkness gradually fell, he sneaked out of the palace.
Some lights have begun to light up in the Imperial City.
Some people started eating, and some nobles went to the temple to pray.
But at this time, the temple was heavily guarded, and the prayers could only stand outside and wait.
A small commotion occurred, but as hymns were sung loudly in the temple, the commotion quickly subsided.
Mixed in the shadows of the crowd, Xu stared at every guard near the temple.
Not only do you need to avoid the existence of high-level reconnaissance techniques, you also need to avoid certain magic detectors and even some top magician masters.
But after many inspections, Xu Zhi felt that everything was very loose.
This is where he can sneak in easily.
Even the six four-winged angels never noticed his whereabouts.
Is it because I am being lax, or because there are too many legion masters out there, I can only make this arrangement.
After experiencing the incident where he hit the statue with a stick, Xu Zhi couldn't help but be suspicious of this arrangement.
Xu Zhi was about to slowly pass through the shadow of the guard, when he saw the temple door opened, and a priest in brown robes opened the door to welcome him.
"Please enter the shrine in order. Archbishop Ronis will preach as usual today, preaching Chapter 19, Verse 12 of the Sutra of Light."
Still preaching and praying as usual.
This made Xu Zhi also aware of something unusual. The powerful remnant kingdom did not seem to be dominated by the queen's will.
Imperial power, religious power.
When the two are mixed, there will eventually be a distinction between primary and secondary.
But judging from the coldness of the palace, the imperial power seemed to have lost.
As the crowd continued to move forward, Xu Zhi also began to enter the temple.
Behind the red brick wall are piles of white jade, even on the ground.
This is a place that can accommodate nearly a thousand people praying at the same time. The venue is extremely wide and the temple is extremely high.
Many prayers began to take off their shoes and move forward cautiously.
In the front hall, there is a statue of a warrior god with a long sword, which is very close to the statue in the Palace Square in many aspects.
There is also a statue of a female deity holding a long sword in her left hand and flipping a book in her right hand.
In the middle of the two statues, there is a statue of a god holding a staff and wearing a gray robe, looking down at all living beings.
An old man wearing a purple priest's robe stood at the front, turning the pages of a heavy classic with a calm look on his face.
Below the purple-robed priest, six white-robed priests stand on the left side, while six four-winged angels stand on the right side with their wings contracted.
The loud hymns originated from these people and angels.
On one side of the temple, the queen sat in a special seat with a restless look on her face. Behind her, many of the defenders' swords had been returned to their scabbards.
"God says that all heretics will be judged!"
The purple-robed old man turned over a page of the book before speaking slowly.
"Queen Catherine, the heresy you seek has arrived."
When the old man started speaking, the hymn suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became tense.
Just as Xu Zhi's heart was beating, he suddenly saw that the old man's eyes were extremely distracted, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
If it weren't for the old man's deception, it would be difficult for the other party to tell where his true body was hidden. At most, it would only trigger a sense of vigilance.
"It doesn't matter, all the monsters and demons will eventually reveal themselves."
Ronis replied with a calm expression, and then he started to turn the pages and read.
After a few minutes, his eyes suddenly opened and he yelled.
"God says that all heretics will be judged!"
"Queen Catherine, the heresy you seek has arrived."
…
Xu Zhi, who had begun to shift and was gradually hiding in the shadow of the statue, frowned slightly.
This old guy is really using tricks.
If it were an ordinary stalker, under the detection of such words, he would flee violently and reveal his whereabouts.
"I really think you, Uncle Xu, are scared!"
Xu Zhi couldn't help but snorted.
If the archbishop could turn him into a red dragon, Xu Zhi might be surprised.
But others are exempt.
There are few people or things that can scare him these days.
"Queen Catherine, maybe the thief has been annihilated in the lightning cage."
After a prayer, Ronis interspersed nearly ten deceptions in it. The frequency was so high that even Xu Zhi was speechless.
This gave Ronis some judgment, and he turned to look at Queen Catherine who was waiting on the other side.
"In the past, we only knew about the fifteen great cultivators from the Xiliu Kingdom, but they don't seem to be from the Xiliu Kingdom," Catherine said.
"Under the lightning cage, no matter how powerful the immortal is, he will be reduced to ashes and resurrected, and the great cultivators from the outside world are no exception." Ronis said seriously: "They will not have the power of immortality."
"I just have something on my mind and feel uneasy."
"Everything will win in the end."
Ronis said the last sentence, which immediately silenced Catherine.
"King Roland has the power of a demigod and an immortal. No one can kill him."
Behind her, Sousa whispered advice, which made Catherine feel a little more at ease.
"The true God chose King Roland. This is the pious glory of King Roland, the glory of the Holy See, and the glory of the Kingdom of Erathia..."
Archbishop Ronis's voice was like a bell, which sounded particularly loud in the prayer hall.
Catherine forced a smile on her face and began to walk out with the flow of praying people.
"This old guy is really sweet-talking. Back then he said that it was a sin that the gods had brought upon King Roland, and that the royal family needed to bear heavy responsibility."
Sosa followed Catherine out, and she cursed. When she turned back and glanced at Ronis, she saw that his face remained unchanged, without any change.
