The Amber Sword

Chapter 1252: The curtain (eight)

Views:

Although the gods have left this world for thousands of years, there is no doubt that their majesty and will still remain in this world. Today, their last authority in this world has also collapsed. There is only one possibility, that is, the gods have completely given up on Voend.

The believers of the Dead Moon stayed in the hall anxiously. What happened before them was enough to completely subvert their beliefs, but the Supreme One holding a mercury rod did not speak. The bloody reality reminded them of the best choice right now. Don't choose, the dozen or so dead bodies reminded them of this.

Soon several liches came out from the darkness behind. They came to the corpses, put their hands on the heads of those bodies, and the corpses staggered to their feet, following them like puppets. These witches walked out of the hall.

Brando saw this scene, and of course he understood that it was an undead transformation spell. The believers who could stay in this hall were mostly the children of the dark nobles in the holy city. Her Majesty the Queen of Madara dared to kill them, but he had to give them back. An explanation from the family, this is actually a political wonder of Madara. As the dark nobles of human beings, especially the saints, they have a natural immunity. No matter what the purpose is to be executed, they have one. Opportunities can be transformed into undead and serve the empire again—except for blasphemers.

But this is not a good choice for these human dark nobles, because most of these people have joined the temple since childhood, learning how to serve the gods, most of them are almost isolated from the family, even if they turn back into the dead Clan, in this life, there will basically be no chance of getting ahead, and it may be thrown out to command the army to fight with elves and humans. In fact, it is almost the same as being a cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty..." Brando said.

The Queen of Madara turned her head and shook her head at him. There were still some aftershocks in this temple. The seventeen bone pillars shook creakingly, but it was not as obvious as before. During the aftershocks, only the Queen and the master priest beside her could face unchanged.

Delphine leaned against Brando with a pale face. She apparently hadn't been notified in advance. The previous scene frightened her. A stone flew past her left shoulder. If it was a little bit higher, the prime minister The daughter will be fragrant and perish.

Although she was already the summoned object of the traveling mage at the moment, and there was a way to resurrect herself even if she died, for this young lady, she was obviously not familiar enough with this identity.

"What the hell is going on?" Brando noticed that Delphine came to him and immediately asked in a low voice. But the latter shook her head. She swept the wet hair on her forehead with her hand, and replied shiveringly: "I don't know, because the negotiation has ended, Her Majesty the Queen will only meet you. I want to come now. She deliberately these days. Coming from the day of the end of the negotiation to today, she and the chief priest of Philip should have planned for a long time..."

The two of them were almost whispering, Brando used his own rules to close the space, and did not worry about what Her Majesty and Philip might have noticed a few steps away. "Why?" he asked.

"I don't know..." Delphine bit his lower lip and shook his head: "It's too sudden, but don't worry, I think Her Majesty is not against us."

Brando actually thought so in his heart. He felt that the woman in front of him might not need so much trouble to deal with himself. He looked up, just in time to see that Her Majesty took up the mercury rod-but she did not finally speak. , It was Philip who was next to her who spoke, and saw this master priest who had always shown a dull image step forward and came to Her Majesty the Queen, raised his head, and said solemnly:

"Be quiet, go back to your seats and continue chanting. You must remain religious. No matter what you see or hear, you must not doubt the faith in your heart. Your Lord, your God, is calling you. Go back, go back to your seats, and pay tribute to eternal death and rest!"

His tone was not high, but there seemed to be some magic in his words. The believers looked at each other, but the blood on the ground was enough to remind them how to do it. Soon, the low depression echoed in the hall again. The sound of chanting prayers.

Philip turned his head and glanced at the remaining icon gloomily.

Brando found the opportunity and said again: "Your Majesty, you have to give me an explanation."

"I will," the queen glanced at him and replied coldly: "but not now, I don't have so much time to explain everything to you, you must answer me a question."

"If it's the previous question," Brando replied, "Then I have answered you."

Her Majesty's eyes swept across him coldly.

"I hope you will fulfill your promise, but responsibility is ultimately responsibility. You will understand this. Could Odin use an understatement to deny everything he has carried, but in the history we know well, he and the four wise men None of them chose to act as a coward."

"Neither will I."

"I hope so," she lifted her chin. The hall of the Temple of the Dead Moon was cracked. A beam of silver-white moonlight descended from the vault and shone on the altar, making the queen's face look white and glaring. Person: "Philip, take them to the Sanctuary of the Dead, Thorpes, Nieta, and protect Lord Master."

"Wait, what does this mean?" Brando froze for a moment. It was obvious that this woman was going to summon them, but only met, and after asking him some inexplicable questions, he asked them to leave again. He didn't care. What kind of tricks the Queen is going to play, but he is by no means a crumpled person.

He should have asked Andrea to stop the few undead lords who came up, frowning and looking at the Queen on the stage.

"I said, I will explain everything to you, but not now," Queen Madara also frowned: "Madala has met all your requirements, I need your attitude now, you even this Can't do it?"

"What's the meaning?"

The hall shook again. Behind the icon of Claes, the dark wall made a creaking sound. Some bricks protruded from the wall in the tremor, and fell from the wall.

Brando watched as there was a crackling sound, the wall cracked a few meters long, as if something was behind the wall, ready to break out.

Queen Madara glanced back, then turned around as usual: "Are you really going to discuss this issue with me here?"

"But..." Brando hesitated.

"Go, I don't have time to talk with you, you are not a kid anymore, Mr. Earls," Queen Madara replied coldly, "When I handed the mercury rod to you, there was so much nonsense. ?"

Brando was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it seemed to be the case. Although he had always regarded the Queen as an enemy, but the other party did not seem to have done anything against him, except for giving such orders on the battlefield. Outside, but the final result was beyond his expectations.

He glanced at the Queen, then silently nodded: "I hope your explanation satisfies me."

After speaking, he looked around, his eyes full of all the sights in this dilapidated hall. At this moment, he had a foreboding in his heart-perhaps the scene performed here today is not limited to this undead holy city. .

But it doesn't matter, he can wait for the explanation from the Queen.

As he said, he turned around and took Andrea and Delphine away from the hall. The undead lords wanted to stop them, but before they could get close, they were pushed out by an invisible force and slammed into it. Among the group of believers, a riot was caused.

The expressionless Philip saw the sight of Queen Madara, who regarded it as unheard, and only silently nodded, and the priest immediately followed.

The hall was still trembling in the shaking. From time to time, sand and rocks fell from the dome of the temple. The believers trembled. Looking at Brando walking in the middle of the hall, they were afraid and envious. They just wanted to leave at this moment. It is them.

The Sanctuary of the Dead is located in the core area of the Temple of the Dead Moon. Such a place is often a holy place for meditation in a temple. Delphine happened to have been to that place these days. She walked and gestured to tell cloth. Lando, said there might be some situations there.

There was a long corridor outside the temple. Brando glanced back. Before Philip could catch up for a while, he waved to the latter to indicate that she didn't need to be so careful, and then asked:

"what happened?"

"When I got there the other day, I seemed to see the undead building something there, my lord."

"what?"

"I only looked at it from a distance, but I thought that since the undead can let me go to that place, it shouldn't matter much. I just thought they were repairing the inside of the temple..."

Brando frowned, but his thoughts were similar to Delphine's. Since the Queen was not afraid to let Delphine see it, there shouldn't be too much trouble in the Temple of the Dead. Yes.

But this incident brought up his curiosity. Since Queen Madara had arranged there, she was already preparing for today's affairs.

The Sanctuary of the Dead is on the north side of the Temple of the Dead Moon. It has not separated from the inner circumference of the temple. After passing through the long corridor, you can see the main entrance of the sanctuary, but when Brando stepped into the sanctuary of the dead For a moment, he seemed to have a vague feeling in his heart, as if he heard a sad scream coming from the void.

He froze for a moment, then turned his head, but the dead face of the priest Philip appeared abruptly in front of him.

"Master, what happened?"

"They are back, Mr. Earl." To Brando's expectation, the master priest actually reacted to his question and replied slowly.

"they?"

"Gods."
