Chapter 48 The High Priest
The afterglow of the setting sun is about to disappear, and night is coming soon.
The newly cut thorn branches were laid thickly in the hall of the Thorn Temple, and the high priest Slotu lies peacefully on the thorns.
The priest led by Ederson knelt before the old man.
His face was sad, but he was respectful.
If the old man had not made them enter the secret passage by making a quick decision, the "seeds" of their thorn temples would have been removed and the "flame" of the thorns would have been completely extinguished.
"A respectable high priest, you have fulfilled your vow in your life!"
"May you get rest after returning to Ms. Winessa's arms!"
Ederson, the elderly priest, prayed word by word.
It's very simple, without any complicated and lengthy words or rituals.
For the Thorn Temple, simplicity or simplicity is a tradition. They are more willing to spend more time pursuing the meaning of life than putting it on other things.
Even for funerals.
The thorn branches were lit.
It is not ordinary fire, but flames shot down from the statue of Lady Thorns.
Under such flames, the body of the high priest Slotu quickly disappeared, turning into a wisp of blue smoke and drifted towards the tall statue of the god.
A faint light gathered around the statue. After this wisp of blue smoke came into contact with the light, it immediately turned into the appearance of Slotu.
Although it is illusory and not very real, it is indeed the High Priest Slotu.
Beside the high priest, the soul of the priest Barry, whose corpse is gone, also appears.
After the two friends met and smiled, they waved at the people in the hall and disappeared.
However, the faint light did not disappear.
Ms. Thorny's voice rang out.
"Ryan will be my high priest."
"Ederson becomes my priest."
The sound echoed in the hall and everyone could hear it clearly, including Qin Ran, who was standing in the corner.
Qin Ran is not good at dealing with crowded ceremonies and gatherings.
I am not good at weddings, and funerals are even more difficult to deal with.
So, at the beginning, Qin Ran stood in an unobtrusive corner, watching the respectable high priest return to the embrace of Ms. Thorn.
With the [mysterious knowledge] at the level of Qin Ran, it is impossible to tell how this process happened, but he can confirm that it was indeed Slotu's soul just now.
As for where you went?
Is it the kingdom of God of Ms. Thorns?
Or where?
Qin Ran couldn't be sure.
He had never seen anything like the real kingdom of God.
But in my heart, I still wished the high priest what he wanted.
Because he knew very well that without the other party's restraint, his plan would not have been successful.
In a sense, the other party is also his collaborator.
However, compared with this collaborator, another collaborator really made Qin Ran feel a headache.
Since being thrown into the main trunk of the River of Destiny by the other party, Qin Ran not only choked a few sips of water and almost drowned in it, but he also found that from that one, this god, had observed from time to time, he had hidden his whereabouts at the beginning, but after being discovered by him several times, the other party simply became open and upright.
Within twenty-four hours a day, I spent most of my time paying attention to him.
It seems like I'm looking at the monkeys in the zoo.
It's more like paying close attention to some experimental samples.
Whether it is the former or the latter, Qin Ran feels dissatisfied.
But he couldn't resist.
Tic's request, he did not forget.
"Am I overcompleted the task now?"
Using the frequency of the other party observing him, Qin Ran ensured that the other party had no energy to observe other things.
Faced with Ms. Thorn's appointment, Qin Ran still took a step forward, gave a knight's greeting, and said, "Okay, ma'am."
Looking at Qin Ran who walked out of the shadow, all the priests, deacons, knights and servants in the hall saluted respectfully.
Some young people have even more fanatical expressions.
‘God Slayer’!
Such a name has already shaken the entire city of Navia. The collapse of the Temple of Wealth and the death of Lady of Wealth are simply impossible to hide.
Just like the withering of the Temple of Sin.
On the contrary, it is the grand ceremony of the Thorn Temple.
Not only is the increase in believers, but the ranking of temples, it once again returned to the Thunder Temple and replaced the original Temple of Wealth.
Therefore, everyone takes it for granted by Qin Ran, the appointment of whom the greatest contribution, and no one will object.
However, the next scene still shocked everyone.
In the faint light, a figure walked out.
"Ms. Winessa!"
The people in the hall immediately fell to the ground, touched the ground with their foreheads, and then straightened their waists after giving a big gift.
Therefore, they did not notice that the lady in the glory showed her true face the moment their foreheads touched the ground, and looked at Qin Ran with a frown and puzzled look.
Qin Ran also frowned, puzzled.
He didn't understand why the lady did this.
One god and one man look at each other.
When the others in the hall raised their heads, they had returned to normal together.
"I bless you."
In a faint voice, the figure shrouded in light raised his hand and gently tapped Qin Ran's eyebrows.
Then, the light dissipated and the hall returned to normal.
People looked at Qin Ran with envy.
After a series of things, everyone knew that Ms. Thorn would favor Qin Ran, but she did not expect to reach this level.
He actually blessed when Qin Ran became the high priest.
This is a unique thing since the emergence of the Thorn Temple.
“It’s really surprising and envious.”
Ederson, who was promoted to the main priest, walked to Qin Ran, without hiding his envy at all.
In the eyes of this devout old man, it is far more than being happy to be a high priest and the priest.
"I didn't expect it."
Qin Ran said half true and half false.
He had received the blessing of Ms. Thorn once, and there was no need to worry about this, let alone show his true face and meet him again.
If there were no other reasons, Qin Ran would not believe anything.
No matter how you look at that Ms. Thorns don’t look like a person who can do such a thing.
“What would it be?”
Qin Ran guessed in his heart.
But on the surface, he was talking to Ederson quietly.
"High Priest, we need to complete the Knights!"
"More servants are needed, deacons!"
"Ms. I just told me that the doctrine has also changed a little. Lady has given fate's choice and a more calm way."
"Just, I don't know how to use it..."
“Wouldn’t it be too vulgar if you use coins to buy ‘choices’?”
Ederson said as he took out a coin with an upset face.
Obviously, it was too difficult for this old man to add new things to his original teachings.
But Qin Ran doesn't.
Looking at the shining shining coins blooming under the candlelight.
Qin Ran instantly understood the idea of the Ms. Thorn. Coins no longer simply represent the value of currency, but should also represent the choice of destiny.
So……
An idea that suited the choice in front of him instantly appeared in Qin Ran's mind.
After signaling to Ederson, Qin Ran reached out to grab the coin, placed it flat on his index finger, and bounced his thumb with force.
bite!
With a crisp sound, the coins rolled into the sky and spiraled out a dazzling light.
Chapter completed!
