Chapter 341 The Coming "Blasphemy"
...Let me preside over the "divine revelation" ceremony?
Listening to Archbishop Sid's words, Luo Xiu nodded and responded piously:
"No problem, Archbishop."
"That's my job."
His last task of "divine revelation" has been completed, and now there is a new number of times, and Archbishop Sid asked him to "ask for instructions on their future" again - this is easy to complete.
As long as it doesn't make him jump and ask for instructions from the oracle about the [Abyss] for a moment, then it's easy to say.
…
Seeing Luo Xiu agree immediately, Archbishop Sid showed a calm smile on his face.
In fact, there were many things that he wanted Luo Xiu, as the "Apostle of Divine Glory", to ask for instructions from the Great Sun.
——The specific situation of [Abyss], the crisis that "Hidden Sage" Hoffman and "Chief Executioner" Fafnir will bring, the possible influence of [Supreme], etc... But in general, these It is better to directly ask the final result and the oracle about the "future" is more convenient.
"Very good, Luo Xiu."
Archbishop Sid smiled and said, "Your piety and ability are obvious to all. After the ceremony of your 'divine revelation' is successfully completed, I will give you the reward you deserve as your reward."
"Holy Maiden" Franya who was next to Archbishop Sid did not speak. She just looked at Luo Xiu quietly and nodded lightly.
"Then, Archbishop, and Her Royal Highness the Saint."
Luo Xiu then nodded to Sid and Franya, and then asked humbly:
"About the ceremony of the 'Divine Prophecy' - when do you want me to preside over the ceremony?"
"..."
"Afternoon, Luo Xiu."
Archbishop Sid said slowly:
"If there is nothing else, it will be in the afternoon - but before that, you can stay in the church for the time being and make some preparations first."
"Okay, Archbishop."
Luo Xiu nodded and still responded humbly:
"It's up to you."
…
Afterwards, Luo Xiu said goodbye to Archbishop Sid and Saint Franya, and temporarily withdrew from the Holy Temple.
Archbishop Sid asked him to stay in the church for the time being, and Luo Xiu went to his room in the 'Healing Place' and took a nap in the medicinal soup of the 'Holy Spring' to catch up on some sleep.
After taking a bath, the last remaining injuries on Luo Xiu's body were completely healed, and his upper limit of health finally returned to its maximum value.
After completing the publicly funded treatment, Luo Xiu left the "healing place" again and visited all the sanctuaries in the main church——
He first went to visit "The Enlightener" Richchester.
The bishop who was most seriously injured in the battle of "Black Crystal Factory" has regained consciousness under the careful treatment of the archbishop and other clergy.
In Richester's status bar, the abnormal status entry of [Forbidden Infestation·Deep Ignorance] has been "purified" by authority, but the injuries on his body have only healed less than half, and he is still unable to get out of bed and walk around at will.
However, his injury will not get any worse. Under the careful care of Archbishop Sid and other [Glory] Saints, it was only a matter of time before Richester recovered.
When he saw Luo Xiu coming to visit him, Richester showed a slightly surprised and happy expression on his face. He chatted with Luo Xiu many stories about the General Church, and finally expressed some envy to Luo Xiu:
"...Oh, I am also a 'bishop', but I can only lie in bed sickly."
Ruicester said this, and Luo Xiu comforted him with kind words and asked him to rest well.
Afterwards, after visiting Bishop Richchester, Luo Xiu said goodbye to him and went to visit other saints who were also recovering from injuries——
Columbator, Evans, Adele, and Harder of the "Glory Knight" have also recovered most of their injuries and are currently undergoing rehabilitation.
They would probably be able to return to their priesthood positions tomorrow, and when they saw Luo Xiu, they each showed some surprise and joy.
After chatting with them for a while and confirming that the saints who participated in the "Black Crystal Factory" Holy Judgment were in good condition, Luo Xiu left with peace of mind and headed to his second destination.
…
Songyuan Castle Church, Sanctuary of Prisoners.
As the name suggests, this is a prison for heretics - the "Hidden Elder" Babron is imprisoned here, and besides him, there are also other vicious heretics.
When Luo Xiu came to the obsidian door of the sanctuary, the priest on duty blocked his way and asked him about his purpose.
Luo Xiu showed him the Holy Emblem of his "Bishop" and the certificate given to him by the Archbishop before he was allowed to enter the Prisoner of Evil Sanctuary to explore the status of "Hidden Elder" Babelun. .
Under the leadership of the priests on duty, Luo Xiu entered the dark prison corridor, facing the deep darkness in front of him and kept walking deeper. Under the surveillance of the heavy prisoners, he saw that he had been tightly imprisoned. The "Hidden Sage" Babram——
His neck, wrists and ankles were all tightly bound by shackles engraved with golden inscriptions, and the upper half of his head was bound by iron hoops engraved with dense sacred patterns, completely blocking and blocking his eyes. The external perception of the ears and nostrils leaves only a mouth for eating, inhaling and exhaling.
But he has also not eaten for two days - no matter which life path he is on, a saint who has reached the "fifth level of life path" will not starve to death easily if he does not eat, but he will also become dizzy and unconscious.
Such was the case with Babylon. He seemed to feel that someone was coming in front of him, but his spirituality had been tightly controlled and he could not tell who it was. He could only open his mouth slightly and make a weak voice:
"Who... who..."
"..."
"Can he hear it?" Luo Xiu asked the cleric on the side.
"No." The cleric replied immediately, "His spirituality has been suppressed and his perception has been blocked. He can only hear very weak sounds."
"That's it." Luo Xiu nodded, indicating understanding.
While he was talking to the cleric, Luo Xiu also observed whether there was any unusual movement in Babylon, but Babylon only opened and closed his mouth and repeated "Who... who is it?" That's right. The conversation was going on in front of him without any awareness.
His current state, let alone "escape from prison", is very difficult to survive.
Originally, the appearance of "Hidden Sage" Hoffman made Luo Xiu a little worried about the prisoner robbery. But considering that they may not know that Babylon is being imprisoned here... plus the Songyuan City Church has been alerted to this, Luo Xiu no longer worries about variables.
Luo Xiu was relieved and imprisoned Babylon here, which seemed to be safe.
After observing Babelun for a while to ensure that his condition was under control, Luo Xiu left the Evil Prison Sanctuary and returned to the "Healing Sanctuary" to rest until the afternoon.
…
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Songyuan Castle Church, in front of the Xumo Altar.
Archbishop Sid has cleared the area around the altar, leaving only the clergymen whose ranks are above the "saints". As the attendants of the ceremony, they have already stood in their respective positions.
Archbishop Sid and "Saintess" Franya were already standing closest to the core of the altar, asking "Bishop" Luo Xiu in front of them:
"Luo Xiu, are you ready?"
At this time, Luo Xiu had changed into the most holy and solemn clerical clothing. He held the scepter [Holy Grip] that symbolized the bishop with both hands and nodded in response:
"I'm fully prepared."
"When I raise my scepter high, Archbishop Sid, please, and Her Royal Highness the Holy Lady, please stir up the sacred spirit of [Glory] as much as possible, and loudly offer Him your most sincere praise."
"May the Great Sun protect us for a moment and give us clear enough guidance."
"Okay." Archbishop Sid and Saint Franya both nodded, then watched Luo Xiu step by step up the long steps to the altar, and arrived at the center of the altar -
Luo Xiu cast several auxiliary holy spells on himself, so that the spirituality of [Glory] was in the process of continuous improvement and purification, and temporarily eliminated all disturbing thoughts.
At the same time, the technical knowledge of "divine revelation" began to emerge in his mind.
Soon, the spirituality of [Glory] was filled to the highest point, and Luo Xiu had a vague vision of the "eternal kingdom" full of divine radiance, and the phantom of the kingdom of God appeared in front of his eyes.
A sacred, vague whisper came from a moment in his ears——
Buzz! The sound from "Xu Mo" has been transformed into multiple hums, overlapping in one place.
On the outline of Luo Xiu's body, a faint glow has been draped over him like a veil, and his "divinity" has been inspired like never before, as if he standing on the altar at this moment is the one The incarnation of the Great Sun!
At the same time, Luo Xiu opened his golden eyes and raised his scepter to the sky!
Archbishop Sid and Saint Franya immediately knelt down to "Luo Xiu", performed the most devout sacraments toward "Luo Xiu", and even more toward "Xu Mo", and began to sing loudly hymns to Him.
Behind them, rows of saints also knelt down to Luo Xiu, and while praising him for a moment, they spread all the sacred spirituality of [Glory] outward.
The bright golden light that continued to emanate from their bodies, along with the light from the scepter in Luo Xiu's hand, continued to fill and echo in the sky.
“—I pray for guidance.”
"——I pray for our bright future!"
In the midst of the pious carol chorus, Luo Xiu prayed loudly.
And then the invisible existence came.
The divine will enveloped him, turning into clear and broken pictures, and ancient and low murmurs, flashing before Luo Xiu's eyes and echoing in his ears.
He saw the ravine-ridden battlefield filled with corpses, most of which were martyred priests; and the cultists with evil smiles trampled on them wantonly, causing the holy light on the battlefield to be covered with smoke and dust, making the withered The glory has been desecrated.
He saw the ancient city walls being broken by heavy hammers, and one fortress after another was submerged by the sudden influx of pagan tides. In their tides, countless dark gray flags were flying, with symbols symbolizing the [Lost] Mother Goddess, the moon and the moon. The pattern of the star ring...
Almost the moment he saw these scenes, Luo Xiu realized what it meant.
——That’s the [Holy Tower Theocracy]!
And his panel also displayed new content in real time——
【He grieves with mercy and grace——】
[The blasphemer will destroy the sacred city, and the turbid light will eventually extinguish the light! 】
[Go to the border of the ‘Holy Tower’ to end that ominous and greedy ambition——]
[Let the descendants who serve the Mother Goddess of the Moon return to where they should be. 】
[Complete it, and a divine gift sufficient to match your achievements will be sent down in a moment]
[Countdown to disaster: 18 days]
[After completing this "divine revelation" or before the countdown ends, you will not be able to perform a new "divine revelation"]
【……】
This time's "divine revelation" actually symbolizes another major event that Luo Xiu already knew.
That means that when the rebellion in the Kuma Territory is finally quelled, the "Holy Tower Theocracy" will also take advantage of the empire's break to launch a massive invasion war against the empire in the name of "holy war"!
The world line in this life has changed a lot compared to the previous one. Although Luo Xiu knew that the "Holy Tower Theocracy" had long coveted a share of the war, he was still unsure about the invasion from the Theocracy. Will it happen again in this life?
But now - the "Divine Prophecy" has confirmed these, and has given a moment the final time when the "disaster" will occur - that will be eighteen days later!
Eighteen days... Luo Xiu chewed on the number of days silently.
At the same time, he slowly put down the sacred scepter in his hand, and looked at Archbishop Sid and Saint Franya with worry, making them feel a little jumpy inexplicably.
"What's wrong, Luo Xiu?"
Archbishop Sid asked tentatively:
"What did you see?"
"..."
"That's not a good 'future'." Luo Xiu responded solemnly.
"The oracle has been sent down to me in a moment, but that 'future' is too heavy."
He looked at Archbishop Sid, at the "Saint" Franya beside him, and then at the other [Glorious] Saints behind them.
"This is a big deal." He said:
"I can only tell you alone and tell Her Majesty the Saint."
"..."
Archbishop Sid did not answer immediately, but first looked at Saint Franya beside him, who nodded lightly.
"Okay." Archbishop Sid nodded slightly and said:
"Then, Luo Xiu. Come to the 'Noble Temple', the Saint and I will wait for you there."
…
Songyuan City Church, in the "Supreme Temple".
Above the Holy Seat, Archbishop Sid and "Holy Maid" Franya listened solemnly to Luo Xiu's account of the devastated scene he saw in the "Divine Prophecy".
In addition to those that appeared in the form of "tasks" on the panel, Luo Xiu combined the memories of his previous life to paint a completely real "picture of hell" for Archbishop Sid and the Saint...
Archbishop Sid frowned as he listened to the blasphemous scene. He had never expected that their "glorious" "future" would be so dark.
"The Holy Tower Theocracy..." Archbishop Sid murmured, the expression on his face becoming darker.
"Yes, the Holy Tower Theocracy."
Luo Xiu nodded, "We really need to consider being wary of them. I didn't expect that our biggest enemy is not the [Abyss] or the 'Dark Principality', but the Theocracy."
"……indeed."
"Saintess" Franya rarely took the initiative to speak. She said in a cold voice:
"You got that kind of 'oracle'... As expected, the Great Sun is still protecting us."
"So, Archbishop Sid."
"Although there is no confirmation, I need to leave as soon as possible, return to the imperial capital, and report this matter to His Majesty the Pope."
"I will arrange a carriage for your return journey." Archbishop Sid nodded.
Then, he looked at Luo Xiu and asked:
"Are you planning to return to Red Maple City in three days? If that 'oracle' is bound to happen, Red Maple City... may become the first fortress to be attacked by the Holy Tower Theocracy."
"Even so, are you still ready to go back?"
"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded solemnly.
Seeing that Luo Xiu's attitude was still firm, Archbishop Sid stopped talking and just sighed.
"Okay...in that case."
Archbishop Sid looked at Luo Xiu and said slowly:
"We will discuss how to deal with the disaster that is yet to come."
"But before that - Luo Xiu, I promised you that I will give you the reward you deserve."
"What do you want this time?"
The last time Archbishop Sid asked Luo Xiu this question, Luo Xiu chose to take away the dwarves of the "Gravel" family.
At this time, Sid was waiting for Luo Xiu, waiting for what kind of request he would make.
"..."
"Thank you for your generosity, Archbishop."
Luo Xiu offered the sacrament to the archbishop and then said:
"Then, I want to enter the secret volume hall of the 'Sacred Reserve' - I want to observe and study some sacred books about [Glory] that have been preserved in history. I hope you will allow it."
