The Forge Temple was quickly taken over by the guards sent by the king. Fortunately, the temple was an independent area and was not open to ordinary people outside of the sacrificial day. Therefore, once the news of this area was blocked, most people in the entire capital would not know that a shocking incident had occurred here.
Xiao Chen and his party had already withdrawn before the king's guards arrived here, and returned to the Fire Crystal Family together with Ansaldo and Borat, the witness.
In the secret meeting room of the Fire Crystal Family, five people were sitting together. On the Chinese Tower were Xiao Chen and Luo Ling, and on the other side were Ansaldo, Chief Carnelian, and Priest Borat.
"The high priest of the temple was killed? More than half of the high-ranking priests were killed or injured?" Even though the old patriarch Carnelian was always calm, he still felt horrified when he heard the news. Xiao Chen looked at his thick white eyebrows twitching, and was a little worried whether he could accept the fact that a major earthquake was about to hit the capital.
"This is the current situation, Lord Carnellian. No one could have imagined that we would face a trap to snatch our treasures after entering the depths of the temple." Xiao Chen touched his nose. "There is no way to defend ourselves at this time. I am very sorry for the casualties of the temple staff."
"More than a hundred people died in the temple. This has never happened in the history of the Dwarf Empire." Carnerian's tone trembled slightly.
Ansaldo said, "You didn't see the situation at that time. The entire inner courtyard of the temple was full of crazy temple guards. I wanted to negotiate with them, but they couldn't understand me at all and picked up their axes to chop us. I realized at the time that they must have been controlled by some evil force. Later I learned that there was an evil being pretending to be the God of Forging. In order to protect the temple from being defiled and to prevent ourselves from being killed, all we could do was fight back. It was a really dangerous battle. If it weren't for the allies of the Tower of China fighting side by side with us, we would not be able to purify the Forging Temple. Of the ten family guards I brought with me in this battle, only four survived, and even Moro was seriously injured. The allies of the Tower of China also lost eight people, and there were more than twenty summoned warriors."
This statement was discussed by Xiao Chen and Ansaldo. When Carnellian heard about the fake God of Forge, as well as the words of defilement and purification, he glanced at Ansaldo and nodded: "Of course, there must be something evil that has invaded the temple, there is no doubt about that. The glory of the God of Forge cannot be tainted by such filth, and I will explain this to other families."
Ansaldo and Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. After experiencing such an incident, for Xiao Chen, the support of the Huojing Family was very important and directly affected how his subsequent actions would unfold.
"However, what you have done is still far beyond my imagination." Kanelian sighed and said, "How many high-level priests are still awake and able to move now?"
Ansaldo pointed to Borat next to him.
Carnelian was puzzled: "Huh? Just him? Where are the others who are alive?"
"They all seem to have suffered some trauma and haven't recovered their minds yet. Lord Xiao Chen used magic to invade their consciousness and checked. It seems that their spirits were greatly damaged during the invasion of the red fog, and their thinking could not be fully restored to normal for a long time. I brought back Borat, the only one with a clear mind." Ansaldo looked at his patriarch nervously, "After all, the entire temple had no defense force at that time, and I was afraid that the king's people would be unfavorable to Borat when they arrived at the scene."
Carnelian nodded and said, "The king has been acting strangely lately. It's better to be cautious before we understand his intentions. Borat is our old friend. We can't put him in danger. You did a good job."
Carnerian began to pace back and forth in the room, and the others were also in deep thought. The dwarves were probably thinking more about the situation in the capital, while Xiao Chen was thinking about the "God of Forging" itself.
This monster has already regarded the Forging Tower as his own possession. If Xiao Chen wants to achieve his goal of taking back the Forging Tower, he must get rid of this guy.
However, according to Umeda's analysis, the power displayed by this monster in the previous battle has reached the level of Saint. If the clone is so powerful, the power of the main body is even more terrifying. If we fight him in the ruins of God, there is no way to cut off the energy source.
At this time, Carnelian's words interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts.
"Okay, you don't have to be too nervous. The impact of this incident should be limited to the royal family and our six major families. In the next two days, everyone under His Excellency Xiao Chen and Priest Borat should stay in the family house and don't go out. I need to communicate with other families about the situation here. Don't worry, as long as you are in the Fire Crystal Family's house, you will be safe." Carnellian said, gently stroking his white beard, "This is a big thing, but it is not necessarily a bad thing."
"We are not too worried about our own safety, but the biggest problem is the key to the ruins of the gods." Xiao Chen said: "We must find a way to enter the ruins of the gods as soon as possible, not only because we are going to find the forging tower, but you also need to deal with the monster who calls himself a god.
Think about it, as long as you believe in the God of Forging, you may be controlled by it. If it comes here from the small world through some channel, what will become of the entire dwarf kingdom
There should be many devout believers among your people, right? Perhaps that will become a disaster that affects the entire kingdom."
Carnelian opened his eyes and seemed to see the scene described by Xiao Chen. He said, "I understand. This matter cannot be dealt with without involving the king. There will be a result in two days."
Although Chief Carnellian promised to ensure their safety, Xiao Chen still did not dare to take it lightly. He arranged for the Marines to take turns on duty to deal with unexpected situations that might occur at any time. However, although he was prepared for the worst, the outside world was calm for two days. Until the morning of the third day, they were once again invited by Ansaldo to the old chief Carnellian.
"We received a message from the king this morning, hoping to arrange a meeting with you." Carnelian said, "To be honest, the king's attitude surprised me a little. I thought he would take this opportunity to hold us accountable, but he showed an expression that it was not what he should have done.
He didn't explain the details to me, but wanted to talk to you in person.
The choice of this meeting is in your hands. " (To be continued)
