Chapter 54: Abandoned by God
“I want to see the high priest and ask about the secret of God’s favor.”
The next day, in the spacious and bright wooden box, Wei Miao told Conrad according to one's own wishes.
At this moment, Conrad has changed into ethnic clothes, a slanted shawl decorated with gems and a loose white robe, which makes him look much more mature.
"High Priest... I have just returned to the tribe not long ago and haven't visited this old man yet. Let's go together." Conrad said cheerfully. He was always friendly and kind to "his own people" Cultivation.
"Okay." Wei Miao nodded. Among the three, she was the one most likely to see the high priest.
According to rumors, the high priest received divine revelation during the sacrifice and became more powerful, reclusive, mysterious, and uninvolved in the trivial affairs of the tribe. The high priest of this term is already seventy years old.
Every year, the pig-headed man can only see it during the mid-year sacrifice.
It lives in a temple and is surrounded by divine attendants responsible for protecting its safety.
If you ask who is the most difficult person to assassinate in the world, it must be the pig-headed high priest.
Important buildings such as the Assembly Hall, the Senate's residence, and the temple were clustered in the center of the city, so it only took Conrad a few minutes to get from his new residence to the temple.
The divine guard responsible for his personal safety led them, and Wei Miao followed Conrad in a low-key manner.
The square temple is towering, with numerous off-white side halls, and the white outer walls are sacred and peaceful. On the flat roof of the temple, a stone statue overlooks the crowd.
The image of Tianluo Pig Mother is a pig-headed man with eight arms, holding an object in each hand. His expression is neither sad nor happy, and his eyes are calm.
Wei Miao just looked at it briefly and then lowered her head, so she didn't see Tianluo Pig Mother's eyes seeming to turn and squint at the person below.
Conrad's identity was very useful. The powerful pig-headed gods did not stop them, but introduced them to him.
In the small side hall, the surrounding walls are covered with faded murals. On the wall facing the door, there is a statue of Tianluo Pig Mother sitting upright. On the altar table in front of the statue is a plate full of food. Bloody raw meat.
The high priest stood in front of the statue with his back to them. He was unexpectedly tall and shrouded in a black robe. He was about 1.8 meters tall. He held a pale bone staff about one meter long in his right hand. .
It turned around, with a "delicate" face that showed no sign of aging, and piercing black eyes. Its figure was hidden under the black robe, but judging from its exposed hands, it should be strong.
Every high priest is an extremely good warrior.
"blasphemer, you don't need the gods, and the gods don't need you." The high priest first looked at Conrad and said coldly, "Get out."
Conrad's face turned red, and he was confused. Not only did he care about his moral standards, but he also cared about the so-called face, so he did not move his steps, but tried to argue: "What I mean is that people need to live with faith, but they cannot be ignorant because of faith! I am not belittling gods. "
"Varyag, take him out!" The high priest directly called his guards, and a pig-headed man who had been guarding the door strode in and forcibly pulled Konrad away. .
The theocracy and political power of the pig-headed tribe are separated. Varyag doesn't care about the chief's son. He only obeys the instructions of the high priest.
Conrad was very embarrassed and unwilling to leave, but Wei Miao stayed.
"Dear rabbit-headed envoy, what can I do for you?" The high priest said to Wei Miao in a pleasant tone.
Wei Miao asked curiously: "How do you know that I am the envoy of God?"
"There is divine power flowing in your body." The high priest explained.
Wei Miao smiled and said: "The high priest is indeed very powerful. I wonder what you think of the future of the pig-headed tribe?"
The high priest shook his head: "The gods do not want to care about the rise and fall. Everything is fate.”
What Wei Miao didn't know was that Tianluo Pig Mother had just communicated with his messenger not long ago, telling him to just sit back and watch whatever happened.
He no longer cares what the world will become.
"So, what about Conrad?" "Conrad..." The high priest's face darkened, "The one who is despised by God."
This time Stable. Wei Miao smiled and said: "As an envoy of God, I also hate people who are disrespectful to God. If Conrad makes any mistakes in the future, please make a fair judgment."
"Well, I understand." The high priest looked at her meaningfully and said calmly, "God will only favor believers."
Then the two chatted for a few more words and ended the conversation. When Wei Miao walked out of the temple, she saw Conrad waiting at the door. His expression was not good-looking.
"What did the high priest tell you?" Conrad asked sarcastically.
“Just chatting about the gods behind it.” Wei Miao smiled calmly.
At noon, Erza came to Conrad and asked him to take her in. The reason was that her original relatives had passed away and now she was helpless.
Conrad is a kind-hearted young man who has a "life-saving" relationship with Erza and easily trusts her.
There is no story about farmers and snakes in this world, and Ersa’s goal...
She was placed in Wei Miao’s left wing.
Not long after, Wei Miao introduced the fox to Conrad, and his good conversation and etiquette made him popular with Conrad.
The Fox should have provided support from the outside, but the plan to be implemented now would be safer to bring him in.
night.
The fox came to Wei Miao's room and said with a half-smile: "It's time. Although it's a bit hasty, everything that should be prepared is ready."
"I'm still thinking, If you are indecisive, I will slap you." Wei Miao joked, her third eye already ready to move.
"I'm still worried about you. It seems that I'm overthinking it. Those teammates in the first copy were really..." Even with a fox's restraint, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
They knocked on Ersa’s door, and she stood behind the door with a low and clear voice: “Excuse me, what can I do?”
"Your Excellency Conrad wants to discuss with us how to promote his ideas." The fox replied calmly.
The wolf girl behind the door was silent and said after a while: "You go ahead, I'm not good at this."
The fox and Wei Miao looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "If you If you don’t go, Your Excellency Conrad will be very disappointed.”
Wei Miao helped: “When the caravan was traveling, Your Excellency Conrad was the first one to spot you and ask us to stop the car to rescue you. "
The fox emphasized his words: "Even if you really don't say anything, you should still be there to show your support. Can't you even do this?"
Wei Miao couldn't hide her disappointment in her tone: "Okay, stop talking... let's go, Your Excellency Conrad will understand her."
Just when they were about to leave, the door finally opened: "Wait, I'll go with you!"
Before turning around, Wei Miao and Fox looked at each other, showing strange smiles.
Wei Miao quickly calmed down and was replaced by "surprise": "That would be great, let's go there together!"
The three of them walked on the wooden plank road, towards Conrad As they walked towards the room, the red lanterns hanging beside the plank road made their shadows long and dark.
Although the faces of the two of them were clear, there was a vague and eerie feeling under the red light, which was even more eerie than the werewolves caged in robes.
