Chapter 1131 Holy Mountain
A long time ago, the True God Church began to infiltrate Paro. A group of pastors of the True God Church established churches in various places in Paro, preaching miracles and doctrines, and using various methods to win believers and supporters. After decades of hard work, the True God Church has now had a strong power in Paro. However, this behavior is always in a state of "official default". Although the number of believers of the God of Nature is decreasing, the Paro people still insist on worshiping the God of Nature on the outside. They still often go to the Holy Mountain to seek divination and prophecy, and also give corresponding gifts of offering.
But in order to obtain comprehensive assistance from the True God Church and fight against Casillos and San Gene, Paro finally chose to give up the faith of the God of Nature.
It turns out that the Paro people gave up their respect for the God of Nature and turned to the embrace of the gods of the Star Realm. The True God Church provided Paro with support from money, materials and volunteers, and sent many magicians, but Princess Irina could also seek support from the prophets and the Holy Grail Knights with confidence, and described this war with Paro as a holy war of the God of Nature...
——Excerpt from "History of the Stigia War"
When the woman appeared, Leo was walking alone in front of the cart.
This morning, they had just bid farewell to the small town at the foot of the Holy Mountain and officially went up the mountain. In order to show their piety, they all dismounted and walked. Of course, another reason was that the mountain road was rugged, and sometimes the horses pulled the cart were not strong enough, so they needed to fight horses to help.
Leo has read many records and legends about the holy mountain. One of them is that visitors do not have to climb many mountain roads at all. The female prophets have the power of divination and foresight, so as long as visitors are popular, they will come out to greet them halfway. If the visitors are unwelcome bad guests, they will fall into the fog halfway up the mountain and will never find the way to continue up the mountain.
"Sir, we are almost in the fog area." The guide hired at the foot of the mountain reminded.
"I know." Leo was very uneasy. He couldn't help but look back at Asu Rufate behind him. If Asu Rufate was uneasy, at least he couldn't see it on his face. He seemed to be observing everything around him curiously.
A woman in a gray cloak appeared on the side of the road.
She looked like an ordinary rural woman. Because she was tired of walking, she stopped to rest for a while.
"Child." He heard the woman shouting, then lifted his hood and showed his face.
When Leo heard the woman shouting "child", he thought she was an old man, but he was wrong. At least, he couldn't tell how old she was. At first, he felt that she was probably the same age as him, but the longer he looked, the more he felt that she should be older. Her dark and faint eyes were mature and had a sense of confidence to see everything. This was an eye that young people could not have. Leo had never seen any young woman with such eyes. These eyes were like a deep pool of water, which included him.
She stood gracefully, exuding a commanding momentum, which made him feel clumsy. Although her height was not more than his mouth, her temperament made him feel that he was shorter.
God, what she describes in her book is exactly the same, no, it is more beautiful and noble.
Leo opened his mouth wide, and before he could close it, he heard the noise behind him.
Ash Rufate had a fight with two men. All three were wearing weapons, but none of them pulled out the weapon. Ash Rufate pushed one man away and kicked the other in the stomach. Taking advantage of the second man holding his stomach, he swung his fist and knocked the first man backwards. Finally, a powerful punch landed on the man's chin, making the other man fall to the ground with his back.
"Ashu Rufate!" Leo wanted to come forward to help, but suddenly realized that there was the female prophet by his side.
Wait, this is the holy mountain, so these people will definitely not be robbers or something...
He looked back at the prophet, but the prophet seemed to have no intention of stopping it, but he only revealed a little surprise between his eyebrows.
At this time, Ashu Rufate had knocked the second person to the ground. He also noticed the strange woman beside Leo at this moment.
"We are..." Leo wanted to introduce himself.
"Needless to say," the Prophet interrupted. "I know your purpose, guests from St. Gene. Come with us."
The two men who were knocked up slowly got up and looked a little embarrassed. Instead of approaching Ashrufate again, they walked towards Leo. The guide made a gesture well-behavedly, indicating that his mission had been completed. Then he ran away like a flying distance.
Now the Prophet and two strange men walked in front, Leo and Asu Ruffat followed behind, while several other servants drove their cars and horses, and walked at the end.
"Ashu Rufate, you... you just now are probably the Holy Grail Knight." Leo found an opportunity and whispered to his companion. "You can actually fight two..."
"It was them who secretly approached me. I was just an instinctive resistance."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem. They will not care about such trivial matters at all. After all, they are the Holy Grail Knights, people who are perfect in morality and strength. What I care about is their attitude..." Leo said softly.
Although it was said that they were greeted halfway, it proved that they were not unwelcome guests. However, the expression of this prophet was so cold that it was really cold. This was not a good sign for the two people on the mission.
The strange fog spread from all directions, covering up the field of view. Soon, the human eyes could not see the situation ten steps away. What Leo could do was to get as close to the female prophet as possible to avoid losing direction in this fog.
"Leo." His companion pulled his clothes and warned softly, "Our car was taken away just now."
Leo turned around. But through the thick fog, he could not see anything. Only the sound of the wheels rolling in his ears could still be heard. The sound seemed to be disturbed by the thick fog locks around him, and there was no way to hear the specific direction.
If there were no Ashrufate's warning, he probably thought the vehicle was still behind them and followed them.
The car was filled with precious gifts dedicated to the God of Nature. In order to ensure safety, Ashurufate and Leo brought a whole team of guards to the foot of the Holy Mountain. Of course, the guards were left at the foot of the mountain at this moment.
"The vehicle is leaving there." Ashu Rufate said in a direction.
"It won't be a problem, this is a holy mountain." Leo replied, and then he took a few steps to catch up with the prophet in front of him. Ashu Rufate followed him.
"May I ask, lady..." Leo slowly felt something was wrong. They had walked too many roads, and there seemed to be no sign of termination. The surroundings were filled with thick fog, which had reached a certain limit, so that they did not even dare to turn around and look for Ash Rufate behind him. Because in this way, he would probably lose the back of the prophet who led the way forward.
"Young messenger, don't worry. The piety in your heart will guide you in the direction." The prophet replied without looking back.
I would rather use my eyes to guide me in the direction. Leo moved his mouth for a moment, but in the end he still didn't say this.
He walked a long way until a knight like him who was born in the mountains and had long been used to wading through mountains and rivers felt quite tired. He found that he had come to a forest. The fog was no longer rich and his vision became wider. The two men accompanying the prophet had left no longer when. The prophet walking in front stopped.
"There is no longer a field that mortals can enter," said the prophet. "Emists, please wait here for a moment."
"Master, there is indeed a God here." After the female prophet left, Carrie whispered to Ashu Rufate. Since she came to this holy mountain, Carrie's voice has always been very light, as if she was worried about being noticed by others. Although Ashu Rufate knew that this was impossible.
"god?"
"It is a true God...it should be said to be a...natural phenomenon...God is condensed from the energy emitted from the strong subconscious of those who believe in him...He has no fixed form, but he does exist and has great power. Master, please be careful, I don't know the power of this God, maybe he can see through my existence."
There was a little uneasiness in Carrie's voice.
"Under the power of this God, those prophets and the Holy Grail Knights can indeed greatly extend their lifespan. But that is also limited. They are only 'longevity', not 'eternal life'. So masters, they are still just humans. They are different from you, as long as you are not taken away by violence and harm, you are eternal life."
Asu Ruffat looked at his companion. Leo seemed a little anxious because he had been walking around the place.
The magic wind in the air flows slowly. In the holy mountain range, the magic wind seems to always blow in peace, without any violent aura. Here, those magic that strengthens life, heals damage and soothes the soul can be easily cast, while those magic that destroys and destroys is greatly suppressed.
"Ashrufate, they are here." Leo's words interrupted Asshrufate's thoughts. He immediately stopped feeling the wind of magic. In the direction where the female prophet had left, several figures were walking towards them. Asshrufate immediately recognized that the female prophet who had brought them here before was also among them.
There were six women in total. The prophet who brought them to the front was at the end of the queue and was obviously at the lowest level. The one who led the lead had long black hair and his face was as old as all prophets.
Perhaps because of Carrie's warning just now, Ashu Rufate unconsciously placed one hand on his sword.
"Don't be nervous, Eusu Rufat." He heard the leading woman say this. "Your strength is strong, but here you don't need to fight to protect yourself. Here we are the masters."
This person should be the saint or fairy that Leo calls him. She is the leader of these women.
"His Holy Madam." Ashu Rufate remembered his mission. "I came according to the orders of Princess Irina, the ruler of St. Gene, and I am here..."
