Chapter 165 Temple City
After an hour and a half of flight, Temple City finally appeared in everyone's sight.
It is located in a valley and surrounded by mountains.
The mountains here are different from those that Malu saw on the road. They are bare, without a single plant, and the red rock mass is just exposed. It is desolate and full of majesty at the same time.
In the center of the valley is a clean and tidy city. Malu didn't know if the original designer of Temple City had any paranoia. Anyway, he had never seen such a symmetrical city.
In the center stands a huge white tower hundreds of meters high. Twelve avenues extend straight out from the bottom of the tower at equal intervals, like the dial of a clock.
In addition to these 12 roads, there are also 9 ring roads, which are also equally spaced around the giant tower, dividing the entire city into 108 blocks. There is also an aerial track above the ring road, and there are aerial rails erected from time to time. The suspended train passes by.
Most of the buildings in the city are mainly white and gray, and circular elements can be seen everywhere in the design. Even the roofs are mostly round.
When Malu looked down at the entire city from above, the first thing he felt was solemnity and solemnity. Everything here looked orderly and full of order.
As soon as the white dove-shaped aircraft entered the sky over the city, they received a new order from the church, requiring them to land in parking lot 12, Area 8.
Cerberus controlled the war horse to fly towards the white tower and landed on an apron below.
When the hatch opened, two monks in white clothes, a man and a woman, were already waiting.
One of them, a 60-year-old nun with wrinkles on her face, walked straight towards Cerberus and Skylark, symbolically slapped their shoulders with the silver whip in her hand, and said with a straight face.
"May the Lord of Order forgive your sins and come with me."
Skylark lowered his head and did not dare to look at the nun, while the Cerberus carrying the Bird of Paradise on his back He looked disapproving and deliberately let out a long yawn.
After the four people left, the tall and thin male monk spoke, but his tone was much gentler than that of the nun.
"May the glory of the Lord of Order always shine on you. Thank you for your hard work, knight. Deputy Captain Li Wei is already waiting for you in the office."
"May the glory of the Lord of Order also shine on you. Always shining on you, Father."
Ma Lu replied using the words Skylark taught him before on the aircraft.
Then he followed the male monk with his silver suitcase and walked into the huge white tower in front of him.
When he came to the lobby on the first floor, Malu specifically raised his head and glanced at the dome above his head. There was a huge stone with pits hanging there.
That is also the holy stone in the mouth of Cerberus.
It is said that this huge stone was first discovered by the prophet Yongyi. Yongyi also predicted the disaster of annihilation three hundred years later, so he led his disciples and believers to follow the oracle of the Lord of Order. Here the Temple City was founded.
At first, even the people living in this city had doubts about the legendary disaster.
However, three hundred years later, the Green Hell came as predicted, and destroyed almost all animals and humans on the planet at a terrifying speed.
They didn't stop until they came outside this valley.
No plant dares to intrude on this holy land protected by the Lord of Order.
Since then, there has been no heretic in this city, and the Church of Order’s control over this place has reached its peak.
In addition to preventing activated plants from approaching, the holy stone also has the function of detecting magic power. Whenever a baby girl is born in the city, she will be brought to this hall. Once the holy stone reacts, the baby girl will be immediately adopted by the church and trained to become a witch.
Malu passed by below, and the Holy Stone did not respond as expected.
"I heard that you just graduated from the attendant school not long ago, so it should be your first time to go to Deputy Commander Li Wei's office."
While waiting for the elevator, the man The male monk took the initiative to speak again.
"Yeah." Malu responded vaguely.
“Don’t be nervous. When you see Deputy Commander Li Wei later, just answer whatever he asks. Usually it will be over soon. After all, Deputy Commander Li Wei is usually very busy. He handles the daily affairs of the Knights.”
"Okay."
The two took the elevator to the 32nd floor, walked along the circular corridor for about seventy meters, and finally stopped outside a room.
The male monk stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said, "Deputy Captain Li Wei, I brought him here."
A man's voice came from inside, "Let him in Let's go."
After he finished speaking, the electronic lock outside the door turned green. Ma Lu pushed the door open and walked in, while the male monk who brought him stayed outside.
Malu knew the real test was coming.
Although Cerberus said it very lightly, it is not easy to pretend to be someone halfway, even if it is covered by armor, and Skylark helped him fill in a lot of information about the knights on the way.
But Skylark is just a witch, and most of the things about knights are just hearsay. First of all, there is a question mark in terms of credibility, not to mention that she may meet acquaintances after returning to the city.
As long as the other party has a casual conversation with Malu, he should be able to immediately notice the abnormality.
There is also the current job report. As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. As long as you talk too much, there will inevitably be flaws. Moreover, he is facing a deputy captain of the Knights.
Malu wasn't sure he could deceive Li Wei, and of course he wasn't too nervous. After all, even if something was revealed, the worst result would be to be killed and lose some food.
But Cerberus and the others are probably not having a good time there.
But Malu didn't have any good ideas. After all, he was new here and there wasn't much he could do.
After entering the door, he looked around. The office was not big, only about 20 square meters. The furnishings inside were also very simple, with only a desk and a bookcase.
There wasn't even a chair for the visitors. The only chair in front of Malu was occupied by the burly middle-aged man with beard sitting under his buttocks.
He was correcting something at the moment, and when Ma Lu came in, he didn't even raise his head.
Ma Lu coughed lightly, "Deputy Captain, I have found the suitcase that the church asked me to look for..."
"Open it," Levi interrupted directly After a pause, Ma Lu added, "The password is 336429."
Hearing this, Ma Lu entered the password. He had always been curious about what was in the box, so he asked the church to send a team of witches to go deep into the activation In the nest where plants gather, you can get it at the risk of attrition.
Ma Lu originally thought that he would not know the answer. After all, he was just a newly promoted little knight. Unexpectedly, Li Wei did not avoid him at all.
