Chapter 217 Difficult Road

Ankagau's words made Xi Lan both shocked and angry.

As a disciple of the prophet, he still couldn't believe that this sentence came from a preacher.

Xi Lan stared at Ankagau, he could tell that Ankagau was as devout as before.

That's why it's all the more chilling.

If Ankagau regretted and felt guilty for his mistakes, Xi Lan would not be so shocked.

Ke Ankagau is accepting bribes in the name of God, and he is accepting bribes as a matter of course.

"Lock him up until he repents."

Xi Lan said to Daniel expressionlessly.

Daniel nodded, and ordered people to take the pale-faced Ankagau down.

Then, Xi Lan slowly asked:
"Just now, Anka Gau mentioned a person named Naya, do you know who he is?"

Daniel shook his head and replied:
"I've never heard of such a number one.

However, according to Ankagau, that man was a pure-blooded three-eyed ape-man, like a sage who followed good advice. "

A persuasive sage...

Daniel's words inevitably made Xi Lan, who is an elf, more vigilant about this.

After reorganizing the New Law Garden, Xi Lan had anticipated the upcoming obstacles, and he was not afraid of criticism, even insult and persecution from others.

Compared with these, Xi Lan is more afraid of the collapse and division within the New Law Park, which is why he convened the ecumenical meeting.

But now, Ankagau listened to the bewitching of a so-called sage and accepted bribes... So in this church, will there be more Ankagau who will emerge and distort the three sacred scriptures and creeds for their own benefit? , causing the collapse and division of the church?

Thinking of this, Xi Lan couldn't help but shudder.

"Daniel, we have to be vigilant."

Xi Lan said slowly:
"That sage named Naya may split our church."

Daniel nodded emphatically.

....................................

Since that day, Xilan and those trustworthy believers reiterated the precepts and rules of the New Law Garden over and over again. They used Anka Gau as an example to admonish every preacher and warn every potential selfish desire.

In the next few days, the New Law Park temporarily returned to calm.

But in this land of Ajia, there is a faint omen before the situation changes.

The king of Aga, the son of Queen Isis, suddenly fell ill and was bedridden for a while.

Standing by the side of the throne, the face of Queen Isis, who is in charge of the kingdom, also became melancholy day by day with her son's illness.

One night, Casas secretly came to the New Law Garden to visit Zealand.

After exchanging pleasantries, Casas lowered his voice and said:

"...a priest slandered the queen. He said that the king's illness was due to the growth of the New Law Garden, which led to the ruin of the temple and angered Cargaus."

"Xilan, Queen Isis knows that such words are nothing but slander, and she will not listen casually."

"However, since there are priests making such slander, it means that you... have gradually become a thorn in their side."

Casas told Sealand about the development of the matter and the final analysis, and finally persuaded:

"...Until His Majesty recovers from his illness, don't confront those priests, let alone expand the conflict... Otherwise, alas."

Casas didn't continue, but Sealand could understand him.

In any case, the prophet norn is no longer in this world.

Now Queen Isis is taking into account the oath she made to the Prophet in the past, and is watching the growth of the church.

But if His Majesty the King dies, Queen Isis loses the biggest reason for her regent, and is forced to a dead end, then... the situation of the Church will not only not be much better, but will be extremely dangerous.

"Casas, my friend, thank you for bringing me this advice."

Sealand said gratefully.

Casas said softly:

"This is for you, and even more for Norn.

This is where the Norn left it, and I don't want to see it go down. "

After speaking, Casas looked at the three steles in the New Law Garden.

He knew that there was a norn story on it.

"I still can't understand why Norn gave his all like this."

Casas pondered, his voice contained infinite feelings,

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I still haven't come up with an answer..."

Xi Lan looked at Casas and said softly:
"Probably no one knows the answer but the Prophet himself."

"Xilan, you are his follower, can't even you know?"

Xi Lan shook her head and said:

"Although I follow the Prophet, in fact, many times, I don't understand why the Prophet did what he did.

I can only walk according to the path of the prophet, watching while walking. Only in this way can I lead to the city in the sky and walk to the place where God stops. "

Casas listened silently, finally smiled, and said:

"That may be a difficult road."

"Casas, I am already prepared, even if I have to sacrifice everything I have."

Sealand said softly.

Casas looked at Zealand's face, and then said:
"...Your belief reminds me of Norn. It really seems that Norn was like this back then, determined to embark on the road to return to his hometown."

"is it?"

Hearing this praise, Xi Lan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Zeland, may your god bless you, and may you get what you want, just like Norn."

Casas blessed Sealand.

..........................................

At the same time, in the great temple of King Aga City.

The hermit Naia stood before the statue of Cargauth with his staff.

The prophetic eyes and hands of the god statue are plated with copper foil, which reflects light under the light of the lamp. Together with the god statue made of white stone, it is bright and gorgeous.

The altar full of ancient patterns is full of sacrifices, bloody lamb, brilliant gold, and exquisite gems. The long table in front of the altar is full of rare silver ritual vessels, and burning spices are everywhere. .

Whenever the nobles came to this temple during the season of offering sacrifices, they were always shocked by its splendor.

The entire temple was decorated with splendor and wealth, just like a corner of the legendary kingdom of gods.

Naya stood silently in front of the statue, still wearing a simple gray linen robe. The high priest Ola had personally presented the most noble and exquisite priestly robes, but Naya rejected them all.

The high priest Ola and the priests were in awe of him. Every time they met, they always bowed their heads and saluted, and then watched him leave, only to breathe a sigh of relief.

And the gray sackcloth on him, which was unchanging in the wind and rain, became the most unusual sight in the entire Great Temple.

The priests here often enjoy the splendor, bathe in clean water every day, and enjoy incense every three days.

After paying homage to the statue, the hermit slowly walked out of the great temple. He didn't say a word, and the night was dark, so no one noticed his whereabouts.

He walked slowly on the promenade of the Great Temple, turning left and right, and relying on his excellent memory, he walked from the front of the temple of Cargaus to the kitchen of the Great Temple.

When stepping into it, Naya's nose wrinkled, and he smelled a strong aroma of oil.

The hermit took out a flint from his pocket, lit the lamp, and what caught his eye was a pile of bones piled up on one side, which were strings of sheep bones and beef bones. Then he walked slowly to the stove, and he could see the cabinet Inside, there are jars full of precious spices, even the lids are not closed.

In this great temple, six sheep and six cows are slaughtered every day, and countless precious spices are used every day, just to support the priests who serve Cargaus.

In order for the priests to enjoy all the splendor and wealth.

Naia put out the lamp, his figure stopped in the darkness,
"Cagaus, did you bring me back here to show me how greedy and extravagant they really are?"

He took a deep breath and prayed:

"In that case, you might as well let me go blind."

At that time, the hermit refuted Anka Jiawu, bewitched him, and told the preacher that it can make the body warm and the spirit full and warm.

The reason why he was able to confuse Ankagau so much.

Because the hermit saw that the priests who served Cargauth did just that.
