Chapter 1158: Tower of Babel

Views:

When it was close to noon, the ceremony officially began.

As people in the outer city gradually took to the streets, the troops stationed everywhere on the streets became nervous. However, because Yudora has divided the area in advance to prevent people from stampede accidents, the crowd is not too dense.

In fact, this is also related to the "temple" in the distance - with the assistance of the Dragon Clan, the conical "temple" layered towards the sky has reached an astonishing height of 220 meters, which can no longer be called a "temple" ", but a "Tongtian Tower".

The height of the Pyramid of Khufu is 146 meters, and the top platform of the current Mahalla Temple is only tens of meters away from the floating city of Hovela above. Luo Di remembers that the viewing platform of the CCTV Tower is about 200 meters high. In other words... such a tall building stands out from the crowd in modern cities, not to mention in the country of Eska where most buildings only have one floor. up.

Therefore, as long as people in the outer city walk on the streets, they can see the magnificent temple almost towering into the sky when they look up a little.

Not to mention Diest City, even the villagers living in villages tens of kilometers away can still clearly see the huge buildings standing on the horizon.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an out-and-out "miracle", because at a glance, they know that "manpower cannot do it", so they feel worship and awe. Before the ceremony started, many people had already prayed in the morning and evening Kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of the temple.

At this time, a violent wave of magic and golden light flickered. With the help of the Dragon Clan, Priest Windsor began to read the "speech" that had been prepared in her gentle voice.

The reason why Windsor presided over the meeting was because she was the person with the highest "civilian recognition" among the old forces in Eska country except Her Majesty Talia—and as she declared her identity, the people in the city really stood up. The ears listened carefully.

In order to let people within a few kilometers hear what Thalia said, the Dragon Clan's "sound amplification" is no longer simply to amplify the sound, but to broadcast it synchronously in various places in the city through the magic circle established in advance. The technology is actually similar to "broadcasting", but people are not aware of the real function of these magic circles. They just see the golden halo on the top of the temple from a distance and there is a figure standing in front of it...

Even though Windsor looks like a black spot the size of an ant from such a long distance, it is the first time that "individuals" can be directly displayed in front of all residents of a city. The feeling of taking a look in front of the temple is quite different.

Windsor explained the battle that took place a week ago in a clear and logical manner, explaining that Talia took the initiative to attract the demons to descend as "the demons tried to corrupt the temple and succeeded, and His Majesty and the priest's troops died heroically in the battle"—then she didn't mention the Dragon Clan at all. Contribute, attribute all the credit to "the return of the stalwart divine power of Tabris", and "the coming of the incarnation of the priest of Anda"...

In fact, the people don't care what the truth is, they are more willing to hear what they want to hear: the people who have experienced divine power to heal their wounds are immediately excited when they learn that it is the gods who enveloped them day and night to save them.

And the people who had already been arranged in various parts of the city shouted the name of "Tabris" at this time. Hearing these words, people couldn't help but followed and shouted.

The Priest of Windsor listened to the voice like the waves, looked at the urban buildings and the tiny figures of the people that looked like a miniature landscape, swallowed hard, and turned to look at Sally and Rody behind him.

"You can proceed to the next step."

After Luo Di finished speaking, Sally next to her nodded and stepped forward slowly. She was holding an ordinary wooden scepter in her hand—it was just for show. But after the scepter was raised, the vast divine power that suddenly radiated could not be concealed.

The huge golden halo spread suddenly, and exclamations like waves came from below.

Immediately afterwards, three huge snake shadows circled and flew in the light curtain.

These are not the three vipers from "Viper's Kiss". In fact, they are lying on the ground next to Sally at this time, and the phantoms hundreds of meters long that appear in the sky are actually three crystal dragons. The illusion released by the elders below.

For ordinary people, there is no essential difference between illusion and magic, because from the very beginning, Windsor has hinted that this is the "incarnation of Anda priest", so when three snake-shaped phantoms appeared in the sky, the people were already They knelt on the ground and shouted words such as "True God is above", some of them were so excited that they even cried and lost control of their emotions...

The army responsible for maintaining order on the street felt the pressure at this moment, because many people shouted and wanted to run towards the temple area, trying to get close to the "messenger of the gods" - but they were separated and did not cause any disturbance , was quickly stopped by heavily armed soldiers.

Sally released three magical spells towards the sky in succession, and the successive golden halos condensed and did not disperse. They spread around for a long time before slowly disappearing. Because the current weather is clear, it can be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away.

The ceremony is almost here. Sally did not tell these people her name and identity, because her appearance at this time was entirely as a "symbol" for people to worship.

Sally, who maintained a serious expression, was indeed like a statue at this time. The priest of Windsor looked at her in a daze, but then she saw Sally shrugged and exhaled, and turned around: "It should be over, right? When can I go back? It's too hot here..."

She raised her hands to make an arbor, looked around, and lost her solemn appearance just now, more like a young girl who didn't grow up, and walked back to Luo Di's side with two light steps.

And the latter has just checked the description of the "God's Domain Control" skill, and confirmed that the "duration" displayed above is indeed increasing.

This proves that his previous guess is correct: the more fanatical the believers are and the larger the number of believers, the greater the range and time limit of the skills they can use.

Although today's ceremony was brief, it was shocking. Needless to say, the results gained. And as long as this huge temple stands here, the believers will only become more and more pious.

He took Sally's hand and took two steps back, then motioned for Windsor to continue speaking—the latter blinked, coughed, and quickly stepped forward to announce the kingdom's power change arrangement...

From today onwards, there is no longer a "royal family" in Iska Kingdom, because the real "monarch" can only be the "messenger of Tabris", "the incarnation of Anda priest"... Sally I.

And the "high priest of the temple" is held by Eudora, this is because she "returned" early and performed well. Windsor himself abolished the position of high priest, and just followed Sally and became a "waiter".

This position sounds like it has no authority, but because it is the person next to the "Emperor", Windsor's future voice is likely to be no less than that of Eudora, and this arrangement is more for Sally and Luo Di has a more detailed understanding of the customs and trends of the country of Eska, which is convenient for future national policy adjustments.

As for the people placed by other parties, Windsor will naturally not say much at this time. After the speech is over, the shadows of the three giant snakes will dissipate, but the kneeling people are unwilling to disperse for a long time. After they all got on the transport plane and set off to return to Karen Kingdom, there were still countless people in the city saluting and praying to the temple...

And Rody, who was standing on the edge of Huovera City, silently overlooked the sparkling city below, turned his head and said, "Turn on the invisibility, let's get ready to go."
