Chapter 1 Reunion

As the morning light faded, the fire finally extinguished, revealing the dilapidated ruins inside.

The wind on the ice sheet was as cold and biting as ever, but it was unknowingly mixed with the fishy smell of blood and the burnt smell of burning fat.

If he had not witnessed the entire process of change with his own eyes, Delphi, the high priest of the Dark Temple, would simply not believe that just a few hours ago, those black, smoking stones turned out to be a majestic and majestic building, known as "indestructible".

"Fortress.

"The power of the gods is unpredictable..."

Delphi held the oracle mirror in his hand and sighed from the bottom of his heart, his eyes still slightly moist.

To be honest, the scene in front of him seemed a bit familiar to him.

When he was young, he once witnessed the cavalry of the Church of Light breaking into a dark temple. Those cavalry were all wearing shiny heavy armor, and looked extremely dazzling in the morning light, which dazzled Delphi.

This scene looks sacred and solemn, but it is the most terrifying nightmare in Delphi's memory.

The sound of horse hooves, the sound of swords, and the shouts of killing were intertwined together, making it extremely noisy and harsh.

Then, a bright and blazing fire shot up from the surface, like a greedy beast, devouring everything around it.

It picked up the statue of the God of Darkness in its mouth, chewed it hard several times, and bit it into charred crumbs;

It gnawed hard at the dome of the temple and swallowed it whole;

Even the believers dressed in black have become the food it stuffs between its teeth.

Including Delphi's parents.

Before that, they were still living people, and they sat with him on the stone steps of the temple and told him the stories in the "Dark Scripture".

After that, Delphi could no longer find any trace of them, only a mess and charred bones on the ground.

It was the leftovers left after the blazing fire feast.

Delphi used to be a crying child.

He often cried and fussed, expressed his grievances with tears, and begged his parents to accompany him.

But since that day, he never cried again.

After all, even if he cried, no one would listen.

Just like that, overnight, the boy became a man, a man who could not cry or cheat, but could only keep his grievances silently in his heart.

And as time went by, especially after his teacher was killed, the guardian knight Ariel disappeared, the saint Isabella was arrested, and a series of other things happened, these grievances accumulated more and more, and finally became like this.

An unstoppable hatred like raging fire.

Because of this, when the Northern Tribunal of the Church of Light is burning today, the hatred in his heart is also burning.

Burning silently.

However, when the flames were extinguished and the Northern Tribunal collapsed, he did not feel the pleasure of having a great revenge, but felt a little empty in his heart.

Then he understood that even if all the churches of the Church of Light collapsed, it would be impossible for the deceased to return to the world.

All his forbearance and persistence over the years were not so much for hatred, but rather for responsibility and belief.

Unknowingly, he once again thought of the words he saw on the Oracle Mirror earlier:

"My messenger has descended on this plane. He wants to meet you as soon as possible."

"Messenger..." He thought silently in his heart.

Ever since he saw the word "messenger" for the first time, his heart had been in ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

According to the records in the "Dark Scripture", the "Messenger" is a person who upholds the will of the God of Darkness, a savior appointed by God, and a leader who leads the temple to restore its former glory.

When the Dark Temple is at the bottom of despair, the "Messenger" will come to the world and use his mysterious methods and unfathomable wisdom to defeat those seemingly invincible enemies.

No one can guess what the "messenger" is thinking.

But all believers in the Dark Temple understand that as long as they unconditionally obey all the orders of the "Lord Messenger", then no enemy will be afraid.

In the past difficult years, Delphi had looked forward to the arrival of the "messenger" countless times.

When his parents were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, he hoped that the "messenger" would suddenly appear and burn the menacing group of Knights of the Church of Light to ashes with a slight lift of his finger;

When his teacher died in the hands of Yaknelga, he hoped that the "messenger" would suddenly appear and let the ungrateful and despicable man bury himself in hell, and his soul would be burned by fire and never have peace;

When Saint Isabella was stabbed several times in the battle and her blood flowed out, he hoped that the "messenger" would suddenly appear and rush to the center of the battlefield on his behalf, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...

However, no matter how many times he knelt before the altar and prayed devoutly, the "messenger" never appeared.

This made him couldn't help but suspect that all the words, deeds and deeds of the "Messenger" recorded in the "Dark Sacred Scripture" were just the illusory fantasies of the ancestors and did not actually exist at all.

until today

When the word "messenger" appeared on the oracle mirror, Delphi thought she was dreaming.

"High Priest, what kind of person do you think 'Lord Messenger' will be?"

At this moment, a clear and ethereal voice sounded behind him.

Delphi turned around and saw the young saint Isabella walking towards him with brisk steps.

Under the illumination of the morning light, her silver waterfall-like long hair reflected the brilliance and fluttered gently in the wind, making her look like an elf on the ice and snow.

Delphi was slightly lost for a moment.

As the high priest of the Dark Temple, Delphi shoulders the responsibility of continuing the temple. Delphi has no children and no chance to have children of his own.

Because of this, he has always treated Isabella as his own daughter in the past years.

Two years ago, when Isabella was seriously injured in that fierce battle, Delphi spent three days and three nights without food or food. He was worried and paced anxiously in the dark temple all day, wishing that

He immediately picked up weapons, rushed into the camp of the Church of Light, and cut into pieces one by one the murderers of Isabella.

But he never expected that Isabella was still alive and well. Not only had she avoided the torture methods of the Church of Light, but she had also, as a jailer, probed a lot of information inside the Church of Light.

"You are such a clever little kid!"

When the two met again, Delphi gave her a big hug, touched her head at the same time, and ruffled her smooth and shiny silver hair into an extremely messy mess.

"High Priest, I have grown up, can you please stop touching my head?" Isabella pouted slightly and complained, but she did not avoid it.
