Chapter 512 Minority Assembly (I)
Game time PM13:18
City of Light, Central City, Sun Chaser Sun Chapel, underground
Spacious and bright prayer room , the sun god Tissuna, the god of divine majesty The statue exudes a shimmering light and stands in front of a huge golden holy emblem. Opposite the statue, a low-key and luxurious phoenix wood long table is surrounded by people. They are all wearing dark gold cloaks and hats. Wearing a hood with the sacred emblem of the sun printed on it, the appearance hidden underneath is blurry.
This is the 174th 'gathering' of the minority group in the church, and this spacious underground prayer room is the venue.
This chapel named "Sun Chaser" was built forty years ago. The presiding officer was a highly respected patriarch. He changed a total of three batches of craftsmen during the construction of the chapel. The reason was to allow more People have the opportunity to gain the glory of dedication to God, but in fact, in addition to the reasons on the table, another reason for frequent changes in construction personnel is to build a room that only exists 'under the table' and is only for the gathering of minorities. Large prayer room for use.
The so-called 'minority' is actually an open secret within the Sun Sect. However, because only those who have reached a certain religious level are qualified to know, although other sects in the Holy Religion Union have some opinions on this matter Heard it, but didn’t understand it well.
The minority of the Sun God Cult, as the name suggests, is a group of people who also believe in the sun god Tisu, but whose ideas are different from those of most of their colleagues. The position of the minority is not fixed, because when they succeed After becoming a majority, the previous majority will become a minority.
Compared with other churches, this system seems a bit strange, but in the eyes of those involved, it seems very normal. Even the leader of the majority of each generation, the Pope of the Sun, has never thought of abolishing this system. Tradition, even if the positions between each other are very contradictory, even if the leaders of the minority have been threatening their own status, they have never thought of abolishing the minority.
Of course, there have been changes. For example, six hundred years ago, there were nearly ten factions within the Sun Sect, including the majority led by the Pope. However, after various compromises, integrations, and After the split, to this day, the Sun Sect has only two factions.
There is a majority led by the pope, and a minority whose leader is one of the ten great patriarchs, but whose identity is unknown.
There are only two positions left in the Sun Sect now.
"Then, I declare that the 174th rally will begin now."
Distorted to the point of even A voice whose gender could not be distinguished sounded, and the minority leader sitting at the head of the long table lightly tapped the table. Then he turned to the thin figure on his left and asked softly: "Has she been brought here?"
The latter nodded slightly and replied in the same distorted voice: "She has been brought, but her condition is not very good. Well, we probably won’t be able to do the questioning for too long.”
"It doesn't matter, in order to figure out the 'threat' in the future, I will find a way to let her survive."
"But."
"Bring people up."
< br>"Yes"
The thin and hunched figure slowly stood up and slowly left the underground prayer room under the gaze of others.
A few seconds later, a tall figure, whose outline looked like either an ogre or a mammoth orc, sneered: "Our newcomer seems to have not figured out his position yet."
"You It's best to say less."
The woman opposite, who didn't hide her soft voice at all, covered her mouth and chuckled, and said quietly: "Since you have passed the examination of the dean, that person's faith is enough. Firm."
The burly figure shook his head, spread his hands and said: "We all know that the problem lies in the position and not the faith. His Majesty the Pope's faith is firm enough, so..."
" So are you questioning my judgment?”
The person sitting at the top turned to look at him and asked slowly: "Do you think I'm blind?"
"Sorry, I definitely didn't mean that."
Although not He knew which imam the other party was, but this did not prevent the big man from quickly lowering his head.
The others just looked at it coldly and did not speak.
Two minutes later
The thin and rickety man returned here again, and there was a stretcher floating in the air behind him that was held up by magic.
Sleeping on the stretcher was a beautiful blond woman. She was a young human of about twenty-four or five years old. Her face was very pale, her thin lips had almost no color at all. She was wearing a dress with the Holy Emblem of the Sun printed on it. Except for her cheeks, the exposed skin on her neck, wrists, ankles, etc. were almost all covered with bandages, with faint traces of blood oozing out from inside.
She is still alive, but she is only still alive. With such a degree of injury, it is almost the limit for her to be able to take care of herself. Even those high-level and even more powerful divine spells Even magic can't completely heal her.
“Wake her up.”
The dean at the top of the long table tapped the table twice.
The rickety figure hesitated for half a second, then nodded slightly, raised his hand and gently brushed the woman's forehead, a burst of not very bright but extremely warm golden flames flashed, and the latter soon fell into a daze. Opening his eyes, he subconsciously whispered: "This is"
"This is the Sun Chaser's Prayer In the underground prayer room of the church, I am one of your deans.”
The unknown dean raised his hand slightly, and the stretcher floating in the air was erected, and at the same time. Several rays of light appeared out of thin air, gently but firmly binding the other party's body, ensuring that she would not fall while looking at him.
Of course, for a seriously injured person, this feeling is definitely not comfortable.
"Woo"
The woman who was imprisoned on the stretcher cried out in pain, then reluctantly raised her head to look at the 'Priest' in front of her, who was covered in a cloak and hood, and asked extremely weakly: "Why should I believe you?"< br>
The latter took out a badge decorated with nine dark golden gems from his cuffs, and 'lit' it with the pure power of the sun. Suddenly, nine figures appeared on the long table between the two. A shadow of the blazing sun.
“Do you believe it now?”
“I pay tribute to you, Your Excellency the Reverend. May our Lord bless you.”
The woman lowered her head with difficulty head.
"May my Lord bless you." The patriarch drew a sun emblem on his chest and said in a deep voice with his extremely distorted voice: "Then, Knight Dorashka, I want to ask you something."
Dorashika is a very ordinary name, and the owner of this name is a very ordinary knight.
She was born in a devout family in the west of the Holy Land and has believed in the God of the Sun since she was a child. However, unlike her parents, Dora is not a very fanatical believer. Named, she prefers to solve problems with her own efforts, so after some hard work, the girl who had been talented in martial arts since she was a child became a trainee saint belonging to the Sun Sect three days before her nineteenth birthday. Knight, and used the generous subsidies from the church to move his parents to the City of Light.
Two years later, she became a low-level paladin and was incorporated into the Preparatory Knights.
If she develops according to the normal trajectory, relying on Dora's not-so-great talent, she will probably be promoted to an intermediate level before the age of thirty, and become a high-level paladin in ten to fifteen years. If If she is lucky, during this period she can find a man who is better than herself in all aspects, start a family, and then lead a life of training newcomers, giving birth to children, raising children, working, spanking children, working, spanking children, and retiring. A second-tier happy life.
In fact, after settling down with her parents, this was indeed Dora's life plan, and except that she didn't meet a good man, everything was going on in an orderly manner.
However, her life was derailed after all.
A plague that was not taken seriously broke out in Misha County. Perhaps the Dawn Sect planned to give their new saint a The reason for getting more achievements is that the person who is very popular in the City of Light The famous Her Majesty Xia Lian actually went south to Misha in person, and she and nearly a hundred of her companions who also belonged to the Reserve Knights were included in the entourage, forming a full force of five with low-level paladins from several other sects. A temporary group of one hundred knights rushed to Misha County together.
Then things got out of control.
Before the strange plague that could not be effectively eradicated by divine magic or magic had been contained, a monster called a mutant quickly turned the entire Misha County into a hell on earth.
The five hundred paladins, including himself, plus the seriously injured Saint Xia Lian, turned out to be the only fighting force.
Although she did not show it, Dora was almost desperate at the time. In her opinion, the only way to survive was to defend the northern blockade, cover the evacuation of all uninfected civilians, and then abandon the entire Misha County, waiting for the army to attack.
That was what she thought at the time after risking her life with Xia Lian to explore the situation in Nan County.
Then, the ordinary priest named Hei Fan broke into everyone's sight, because he was from the Dawn Sect, and he seemed to have some kind of ambiguous relationship with the newly promoted saint, so Although they didn't say it, everyone didn't like the guy who was suddenly labeled as a commander, including Dora.
As a result, everything has changed since the Black Van Priest took over the command
Unconsciously, the effective strength of only 500 knights was expanded several times by him, and he stabilized the situation in the north. Later, it was named the Misha County United Department In the name of the team, they actually penetrated the center in one breath, using the Gudami Plain as the new front line to continuously exterminate the mutants in the south. In the process, everyone's view of that person changed from disdain to surprise, and from surprise to surprise. The shock eventually turned into shock.
And Dorashika was naturally deeply shocked by the commander who continued to create miracles, and even developed an emotion called longing, so much so that she even deliberately retained her strength during the battle. Only to enter the commander's guard group that was brushed off by the main combat force.
She wanted to protect the man who seemed so weak but could make everyone feel at ease.
But even Dora herself knows that this relationship is unrealistic, not only because the two are not in the same sect, but more importantly because the other person is a partner that everyone loves from the bottom of their hearts. , Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the Dawn Sect.
Those two people were a match made in heaven, even their approachable temperaments were exactly the same.
But if possible.
At least I want to be that person’s guardian knight.
This idea has appeared in Dora's mind more than once, but it is also unrealistic. Not to mention that almost all the guardian knights of the opposite sex throughout the ages have some kind of charming relationship with the guardian. From the perspective of talent and potential, he was definitely not worthy of the talented commander who was destined to become famous.
So Dora has always kept this wish in her heart.
It wasn't until the Requiem Project kicked off, and she was ripped off her horse by dozens of mutants after fighting desperately, and although she barely managed to save her life, she could no longer hold the sword again, did Dora confide in that person. A person with a discerning eye can see that he is comforting himself.
But that was enough
After giving herself a hope that could never be realized, Dora survived tenaciously and was sent to the hospital together with dozens of other seriously injured people. After getting off the ship, the first group returned to the City of Light. After writing a report intermittently, they have been resting in a small church in the outer city until now.
"Please speak."
In front of the dean, Dora lowered her head humbly.
"The low-level priest named Hei Fan of the Dawn Sect, who was your commander-in-chief when you were in Misha County, do you have any impressions of him?"
The leader tapped on the table and pocketed The eyes under the hat were staring at the useless 'former paladin' in front of him.
"Lord Heifan?"
Dora was stunned for a moment, then she endured the painful wounds everywhere on her body, nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, I have an impression of him. Ahem, he is very good and will definitely become the most dazzling general of the Alliance in the future. He is the most outstanding commander I have ever seen."
"Haha, that's it."
The dean chuckled lightly and nodded: "I have read your report. It is said that you have served as a guard for the Black Van priest and participated in most battles. So, if you don't mind, Knight Dora, , can you tell me more about it? What about Heifan?”
“This”
Dora looked a little hesitant, because she felt that whether it was the other party’s problem or the surrounding environment, It's too weird.
"Of course, if possible, please keep our conversation confidential in the future."
The dean did not seem to see the hesitation in her eyes, but said to himself. : "After all, I think Pastor Hei Fan has great potential. The only people who hope to recruit him, including me, are the only people here~"
"Yes!"
Dora's eyes suddenly lit up and she said loudly: "My subordinates must keep it secret."
Twenty minutes later
"I didn't expect that she could really insist on it. That’s it.”
The burly participant looked at Dora, who had fallen into a coma, and shrugged.
The dean sitting at the top, after being silent for a moment, gently waved his hand, letting the stretcher and the people on it fall to the ground
"Okay, everything you need to know. Already know, let’s deal with her”
