Dragon God Battle Hymn

Chapter 496 Temple Ambition
"Xiao Chen, how can you bully the envoys of our Moon God Hall? Haven't seen you for a few years, and you don't even know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" The elder looked at Jingchen with a kind smile on his face, but there was no trace of embarrassment in his tone. Blame means.For the Great Elder, even if Jing Chen was determined to kill the two envoys from the Moon God Temple, he would still help Jing Chen take things over, not to mention that at the moment, it seems that the two of them don't have any big problems .

Jing Chen blushed, and immediately said, "Grandpa was joking, I haven't seen you for so many years, are you in good health?" Ever since the hurried farewell at Cologne Fortress that day, Jing Chen and his grandfather hadn't seen each other for several years. He didn't even know that his grandfather was actually an elder of the Moon God Temple.

"I'm fine, I'm as usual, but you, your strength has grown so much, even an old man like me is a little jealous." The Great Elder laughed loudly, obviously at the moment he was very happy, even Those wrinkles on the face tend to ease.

"Grandpa...you..." The Great Elder's teasing undoubtedly made Jing Chen's face even redder. Although Jing Chen had also experienced a lot, in front of the Great Elder whom he regarded as his relatives, Jing Chen's face was still very thin , couldn't help the Great Elder's teasing.

"Okay, the temple sent these two girls here for a serious business. Even I didn't expect Yanran to be the Holy Maiden of the Moon. This..." Looking at Jing Chen's slightly frowned brows, Dao The elder was also a little hesitant. He obviously knew his grandson's character very well. It would be absolutely impossible for Jing Chen to bow his head to the Moon God Temple. If he didn't bow his head...

Thinking of this, two strands of green light floated out from the elder's fingertips without a trace, and immediately shot into the bodies of the shocked Xingxi and Xingya. On the cold ground, I lost consciousness.

After the Great Elder finished all this, his face gradually became a little dignified, and seeing this scene, Jing Chen's heart was suddenly stunned, no need to ask, his grandfather must have something to say to him, and that It was something that these two envoys from the Moon God Temple were not suitable to know about. Thinking of this, Jing Chen's expression became more serious.

After pondering for a while, his gaze swept over the faces of Jing Chen and Yue Yanran, and the Great Elder said in a deep voice, "Xiaochen, are you planning to let Yanran become the Holy Maiden of the Moon Temple?"

This abrupt question not only stunned Jing Chen, but also Chabal and others, but the others did not speak, but looked at Jing Chen together, although they did not know, this The old man who has a deep relationship with Jing Chen meant to ask this question, but he definitely had his own reasons for asking this question.

"Yes!" Jing Chen replied bluntly.Although Jing Chen is not very clear about the status of the saintesses of the Moon God Temple, some news has been revealed through Rios' words just now. At least, the saintesses of the Moon God Temple need to be pure virgins. In other words, it is impossible for Jing Chen and Yue Yanran to combine, and Jing Chen will naturally not accept such a condition.

Jing Chen's answer did not surprise the Great Elder. He frowned slightly, and then said slowly, "In this case, you can't go back to Yuege Linhai with them, at least not now."

"Why?" Jing Chen looked at the elder with some doubts. Jing Chen couldn't understand this sentence. It is just the spiritual sustenance of the elves, not an authority.

"If you go back, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. The current Moon God Temple is not what it was many years ago. As foreigners, you will not understand it." The Great Elder shook his head, as if unwilling to say more.

"Hmm..." Although Yue Ran on the side didn't make any comments, when he heard what the Great Elder said, he nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Yue, is there any difference between the current Yuege Linhai and the Moon God Temple?" Seeing that his grandfather didn't want to say more, Jing Chen had to settle for the next best thing and came to ask Yue Ran.

"Although it doesn't look much different on the surface, I always feel that the Temple of the Moon God is not the same as before, from the size of the attendants to the size of the priests and some elders. They seem...too arrogant, don't say Look down on humans and other races, even elves from small races like us who went to participate in the blessing of the moon god were treated with cold eyes, this is really not like what devout believers of the goddess do." Yue Ran said with some hesitation.

Although he would bring many people from his family to participate in every blessing of the moon god, over the years, fewer and fewer people are willing to go with him, and some have not even been there for some years, although no one Talk to him about the reasons why you don’t want to go, or most of them shirk with physical discomfort, but as the head of the house, Yue Ran is somewhat clear about these things, but no matter what the reason is, Yue Ran is unwilling to talk about this matter. Pick it up.

"That's right, every time I went to participate in the blessing of the Moon God on the square in front of the Moon God Temple, I started looking forward to it half a year in advance, but now I don't feel much expectation. I don't know why, but I feel that the elders of the Moon God Temple and Priests, the purpose of summoning us is not to let the moon god's favor descend on us believers, but to spread their so-called teachings." Yue Yanran also said with some complaints.

"Doctrine?" Jing Chen is no stranger to these two words. Back then, when he was still young, a missionary from the Holy See came to Sauron Town, and he told many stories to Jing Chen and these children. , Most of these stories are stories about how the gods believed by the Holy See defeated the evil and restored peace to the world. Later, I heard from Sedum that this is the priest preaching the teachings.

However, if the Temple of the Moon God also propagates teachings in this way, why did it cause such a big backlash?This may seem unusual.

"Chen, take a look at this. This is what was sent by the people of the Moon God Temple back then to promote the teachings of the Moon God Temple." Yue Yanran reached out and handed Jing Chen a copy that was not thick, but the workmanship was extremely good. Beautiful brochure.

Jing Chen took this well-made and extremely exquisitely designed booklet, with many green vines and branches and leaves painted on it, as well as a round of soft moonlight, and opened it to have a look.It's okay not to read it, but Jing Chen's frown deepened when he saw it. He really didn't expect that this teaching was to promote such a thing.

I saw that the higher-ups tried their best to praise the respected status of the elves, and devalued other races to be worthless. This kind of thing will resonate with those elves with extreme pride in their hearts. Other intelligent races will only aggravate their disgust towards the elves. Jing Chen really doesn't know what is the intention of the Moon God Temple to distribute a bunch of these things.

The more he looked back, the uglier Jing Chen's face became. What was preached here turned out to be an idea of ​​pitting elves against other races, and this kind of confrontation was an extremely thorough confrontation. There is no specific mention of how to operate it, but Jing Chen feels that the person who compiled this thing seems to want to revive the great empire of the elves.

For Jing Chen who knew that period of history, he naturally understood the cause of that period of history. The reason why the elves at that time were able to rely on about [-]% of the upper elves to rule the entire continent and the entire elves was because the upper elves at that time The elves have the support of the Creator God, or dote on them, and later, as the Creator God gradually faded out of the historical stage, other gods of the Creation God lineage also disappeared one after another, and the dominance of the upper elves was unsustainable. Finally, it fell under the resistance of ordinary elves.

But looking at the description in this book, it is simply that the high-level elves are praised as the heroes of the elves, and the reason why the high-level elves disappeared completely was not because of the rebellion of ordinary elves, but in order to prevent the rebellion of foreign races. Ordinary elves withdrew to Yuege Linhai, and died one after another on the way, so that they were exterminated.

If that period of history is really as stated here, it is simply a history of the fall of a tragic hero.

Shaking his head, Jing Chen wanted to hand the book to the Great Elder, but was rejected by the latter, and only heard the Great Elder say, "I have seen this kind of thing before, and it doesn't match the facts, but unfortunately, the current elves The ancient books have long been preserved in the Moon God Temple, so..."

"So they can write whatever they want? Is my understanding correct?" Jing Chen frowned.If the Moon God Temple is trying its best to incite hatred of other intelligent races, then going to Moon Song Linhai is not a good choice in his capacity, especially going to the Moon God Temple, it is like throwing yourself into a trap.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, the Great Elder said helplessly, "Xiaochen, you have to understand that history belongs to the strong. Any strong person has the right to compile history. The current Moon God Temple is undoubtedly strong. , His strength is far beyond your imagination, if I wasn't on duty that day, I'm afraid it would be other elders who came now, and then..." The Great Elder shook his head and did not continue.

Hearing what his grandfather said, Jing Chen's face was startled. At this moment, Jing Chen couldn't help but see a little cold sweat on his back. If it was true as his grandfather said, it wasn't him who came but other elders. In other words, if those elders are as powerful as my grandfather, then I'm afraid...Jing Chen didn't even dare to continue thinking about it.

Seeing Jingchen's complexion changing again and again, the elder continued, "Originally, we old guys don't take turns to be on duty, and those who can be summoned are just seven or eighth-level temple elders. Beginning in [-], the God Envoy ordered that we old guys will be the elders on duty in the future." The helplessness on the face of the Great Elder was obvious, but Jing Chen was very interested in the God Envoy that the Great Elder said.

"Grandpa, that envoy is..."

Before Jing Chen could go on, he was interrupted by the elder with a wave of his hand, and the elder's expression changed, and he said, "Let's talk about the solution to the system of saintesses like Yanran first, those things are not your business. "

Hearing what his grandfather said, Jing Chen also had to suppress his curiosity, but the envoy of the Moon God Temple that the Great Elder mentioned also left a deep impression in Jing Chen's mind.
