Chapter 41 The Temple of Wealth(2/2)
Of course, it is even more impossible to let the people from the Temple of Wealth take the initiative to hand over it.
Because with the demise of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council, a large amount of dead debts will definitely be left in the temple. If you want to inherit these inheritances, you must first find a way to prove that you are yourself, or let the dead go to the front desk to handle business.
This means that after their recovery battle, the Temple of Wealth took the greatest advantage.
"Get together the men and go to the Temple of Wealth." Brian stood up from his chair and said to Hisayah.
When the last ray of light of dusk disappeared from the horizon, Brian and Xisaiya came to the area of the Temple of Wealth with the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage.
At the same time, teams of fully armed golden knights appeared and blocked their way.
All the Knights of the Temple were priests full of jewels, and the foundation accumulated by the Temple in the Kingdom of Cormier for nearly a hundred years was revealed at this moment.
Teams of Templar Knights and Guards, their equipment was all of them shining golden armor.
"In Cormier's territory, any church or temple must respect the Regent and obey the laws set by the royal family. I can think that you are challenging the authority of the royal family?!"
A Purple Dragon Knight shouted angrily at the leader of the Templar Knights: "You dare to protect the rebels is an open provocation to the royal family!"
"Please do not get me wrong, Regent." The leader of the Templar Knights said respectfully, "We have no intention of provoking the authority of the royal family, nor have we intended to protect any rebels. The purpose of our doing so is to protect the most devout believers of the goddess."
"The Goddess's most devout believer?" Brian snorted coldly, "So, you have publicly surrendered to the rebels, and your Temple of Wealth has also participated. Can I label the entire temple as a rebel?"
"Please don't get me wrong, yourselves." The leader of the Templar Knight said calmly:
"State of Wealth has always maintained its own camp without wavering since its establishment, and will not collude with the rebels. The goddess often teaches us that anyone who enters the rebels, whether it is the rebels or the Purple Dragon Knight, is the most devout believer of the goddess and deserves shelter. I am our duty."
After hearing this sentence, Brian frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that the Templar Knight had something wrong. Although his words were respectful, the provocative meaning contained in it was very controversial.
In fact, he did not want the temple to conflict with the royal family, not that he could not afford to offend the goddess, mainly because doing so meant that they would not get the wealth of the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council.
Similarly, the Temple of Wealth will never dare to blatantly conflict with the Kingdom of Cormier. If they dare to do this, all temples in the entire kingdom will definitely be devastating.
He did not think the Archbishop of the Temple made such a foolish choice.
There was another thing that surprised him even more. In theory, in the face of this conflict, the archbishop of the temple was the leader of the Knights of the Temple.
"Bryan, there's something wrong with this Templar."
The soul-transmitting voice of the sorcerer Karadna sounded in his mind, "I suspect he is a hidden devil, but I can't guarantee that he must be."
"I can't guarantee it, then I'll give it a try." Brian replied, looking at the leader of the Knights' Templar, and his eyes were slightly cold.
——"Divine Duncan cleavage technique!"
Brian stretched out his hand and a terrible energy burst out. The unexpectedly guarded leader of the Templar Knight was shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect that the other party would dare to take action.
He was about to fight back, but it was too late.
The energy that disintegrated all material forms instantly made the armor shining with golden light in his body burst into explosions one after another, dissipating without a trace.
——"Advanced Appearance!"
Karadna stretched out her hand, and a dazzling purple light suddenly burst out from her palm, covering the terrified Knight of the Temple.
The Knight of the Temple first let out a shrill scream of panic, then his skin gradually turned dark red, his pupils turned strange green, his forehead grew curved horns, and his sharp fangs also exposed from his jaw.
"It's the devil!"
The clergy and onlookers in the temple all exclaimed.
——"Skin stripping!"
Another spell of the sorcerer was successfully released, and a strange dark red light enveloped the entire body of the Templar Knight.
In an instant, before the devil recovered to his true body, the wailing sound of pain rang out directly.
His skin suddenly began to fall off, and bloody scalp fell off like this. Then his hideous face slid down with flesh and blood. The skin of his arms directly cracked, and the swelling muscles showed a strange dark red and creepy bones. The whole person seemed to have been stripped alive.
Brian took this opportunity to release an attack spell, ending the life of this high-level devil who is less than the legendary realm.
Seeing this, the priests of the Temple of Wealth fell silent.
Because the lurking of the devil represents their negligence and proves their incompetence.
The temple did not even notice such serious corruption, so it almost had an armed conflict with the entire kingdom.
At this moment, a team of clergymen dressed in golden robes and headed by the priest rushed over.
The priest in the head was a woman wearing a golden robe, with gold silk cuffs, with beautiful blonde curly hair, and wearing seven gem rings on her ten fingers.
It is said that the goddess of wealth loves gold. Many of her pastors have long golden hair. These pastors are full of jewels and like to wear expensive jewelry and their clothes are exquisite and luxurious.
This is a plump and tall young woman wearing a string of amazingly valuable pearl necklaces on her chest. She leaned over toward Brian and Shisiaya and said slowly:
"I am very sorry, respected Regent, Lord Protector. I express my most sincere apology for the obstacles the temple has brought to you."
"At the same time, thank you for helping the temple and finding out the demons hidden inside." She continued in a gentle tone, "I know the purpose of your coming here. Although the Regent is at ease, the Temple of Wealth will fully cooperate with the royal family's actions."
"The Knights of the Temple obeyed the order!" The female priest looked slightly cold and gave the order: "From now on, we will do our best to assist the army in capturing the remnants of the rebels."
With a command, the Templar Knight, who was originally blocking the road, immediately made way.
Xisia immediately issued instructions to the Purple Dragon Knight and the Battle Mage, and under the guidance of the Knight of the Temple, they ran towards the inside of the Temple together.
"Duke of the Kingdom." The female pastor looked at Brian with a gentle look and asked with a smile: "I wonder if my sincerity will satisfy the cooperation we will develop next?"
"The next cooperation?" Brian was slightly stunned and said in confusion.
"Don't you remember?" The female priest's expression was still kind and gentle. A smile appeared on her lips, but her words seemed to have a lot of meaning. "I have heard with my own ears that my territories have been invaded by demons many times. Don't you feel a headache for this?"
After hearing this sentence, Brian suddenly showed a sudden look of consciousness.
This forced him to look at the jewel-like, young and beautiful female priest in front of him seriously.
Woking, goddess of wealth.
Before the turbulent times, she was originally a young god, and there were not many enemies except because of her complete opposition to the clergy of the god of thieves, Meske.
In the turbulent year, in order to escape this disaster, she entrusts the only remaining divine power on her body to the goddess of joy, and with the help of a god envoy from another world, she sneaks into the astral world.
After entering the astral realm, she negotiated with the Lord Glazt, the Lord of the Immortal, hoping to return to her kingdom of gods through his territory.
But after the goddess of wealth arrived at the territory of the Lord Glazt, the giant in the bottomless abyss did not hesitate tore up the contract and imprisoned her in her territory.
What good end can it be if it falls into the hands of the monarch Glazt?
You know, in order to revenge the succubus Queen, this demon lord refused his courtship, and even turned himself into Mekanshut to seduce Koschurch, one of the ugliest lords of Tanari in the bottomless abyss, - the demon lord who looks like a giant.
And there are many things that cannot be said or described in words between the two.
Finally, the Monarch of Undead also regarded this as a great conspiracy against the Succubus Queen.
The result of this "temptation" made the succubus queen deeply ashamed.
Because many people still believe that Mekansut, who was impressed by the magnificence of Coschurch, was not pretended to be the sham of the Immortal Monarch.
For a goddess like Woking, a demon like Glazt who is both male and female, is not excited to celebrate in the abyss every day, and will never miss any hole in any part.
This is a long period of imprisonment.
This not only caused the goddess of wealth to lose a lot of divine power and believers, but also suffered countless terrible humiliations.
Even her church in the material world was infiltrated by Glazt. Woking was scattered in temples around the world, filled with various loan shark services. The terrible profit of the hob cutter made countless families lose their money and completely ruined the reputation of the goddess of wealth.
It was not until a team of adventurers rescued her that the Goddess of Wealth retrieved her divine power. At that time, her power had already weakened greatly due to usury.
This incident is an indescribable shame for the gods!
As a god, a goddess.
Therefore, in addition to the original Mesk, the goddess of wealth had another Glazt in her enemy, and she vowed to take revenge on him, or at any cost.
Obviously, this revenge goddess is likely to have learned about what is about to happen in the dark area and is ready to launch a crazy revenge operation.
Otherwise, when there is great turmoil in the dark area in the game world, there will not be so many high-bounty tasks to hunt legendary adventurers who are incarnated by Glazt, and even a large number of priests and priests of Woking.
It is precisely because of the lack of Glazt's restraint that the succubus Queen Mekansot found an opportunity to plot against Demogorgen, which caused huge turmoil in the abyss.
As for why she suddenly came to her, it is not difficult to understand.
After all, he stole the dragon egg that Glazt had planned for a long time.
Mokou Town has indeed encountered many calculations and attacks from this demon lord, and even the power of the werewolf king appeared in Gewoch, west of Mokou Town.
Therefore, if you want to attack Glazt's power in the material world, and use his bait to wait for the rabbit, it is naturally the best choice.
Thinking through the whole story of the problem, Brian suddenly realized that the reason why the female priest appeared with such a kind attitude was probably premeditated.
It is very likely that she had noticed the hidden devils in the church in advance, and then deliberately made the devils embarrassed them, and finally made the appearance gorgeously and caught the traitors in order to win the favor of the royal family and leave a deep impression on them.
From this we can see that the female priest in front of us is still very scheming, and even the devil who is good at playing conspiracies dares to take advantage of it.
"I'm looking forward to the cooperation with you," Brian said sincerely.
After stealing the dragon egg of the Emperor Wu'an, the other party will definitely not give up. So why don't he take advantage of this opportunity and lead the team to sneak into the bottomless abyss like some unknown adventurers to overturn the demon lord's car.
Of course, this is just a joke. With his current ability, even if he reaches the strength of a high-level legend, he may not dare to face the true body of the Demon Lord, and he is still in the other party's territory.
Besides, he didn't want to waste time here. Now he has the powerful enemy of Yinhun City, who is always threatening himself.
Next, as he expected, with the help of the Temple of Wealth, the task of clearing out the Merchant Guild and the Noble Council was very smooth.
After all, all of these people were hiding in the temple, so they just came to catch turtles in a jar.
Chapter completed!
