The Amber Sword

Chapter 1369: Act 260 Arkentu, King of Purgatory (top)

Brando et al. moved slowly as they passed through a corridor into the main hall, and saw many images of spider waitresses on the wall on both sides of the corridor. Even at the end of the corridor, there was a tall statue that could not be destroyed. It was covered with a black cloth, and it was a statue of a spider goddess.

It seems that the temple was supposed to be a Dead Moon Temple, and the sheep have not yet arrived and taken up much of Nestlé's time, so much so that even the renovation was only hastily completed that there was nothing to show for it.

But the other shepherds weren't surprised by this, and didn't even look at the statue covered in black cloth, either buried their heads stuffing forward, or they were talking about stealing whispers.

Demons admire chaos, and their followers naturally cannot be too conservative. Without the rally, the limit has been reached. It is obviously impossible, if not impossible, to achieve the effect of silence and serenity of the weekly rally of the followers of the Temple of Fire and the Holy See, which may offend the demons they believe in.

Believers crossed the corridor and entered a hall, which naturally was also the style of the Moon of Death, although the statue in the northern part of the hall had been destroyed and the base on which the statue had originally been placed had not yet been replaced, as can be seen from the fact that it had not been occupied for too long by shepherds.

Brando noticed that none of the relevant clergy had been seen along the way. The original owner of the Temple of the Dead Moon must have had nothing to do with it. Most of them had been taken prisoner, and it might not have been necessarily a living sacrifice.

When the believers entered the hall, they found their seats, and those without seats stood in different corners. Soon there will be a senior shepherd to preside over the ceremony. The ceremony is quite simple: the blood of the black goats will be spilled on the followers. Brando, Delphine and Magdalene already know the shepherds very well, so it is not very contradictory in their hearts, but Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Liu are very uncomfortable. The blood of the nine phoenix livestock is regarded as filthy, and the blood of the livestock on others is a great insult, let alone an upper nobility like them.

Fortunately, they both knew what was going on. If they were uncomfortable, they could only bite their teeth. Although Phoenix Fire almost couldn't help pulling out its sword several times and splitting the sword of the priest who blew the blood of the sheep on her in half, they still couldn't do it.

Instead, in the face of a few dots of sheep's blood flying toward him, Rookie unconsciously flashed, causing the sheep's blood to fall on the temple floor. Fortunately, his own position is behind the temple. Between the two columns, the light is dark, and it is not known whether it was intentional or not. The senior priest did not find himself in the air for a while.

This is called a big breath of relief in Rookie's heart. He's not afraid to reveal his identity, he's afraid to break Brando's business. What if Brando wants to go after the Jade Sword? Sadly, the Jade Sword was originally a sacred object of the Ghost Car clan, and now he seems to be the one who took Nestlé.

But Housekeeping understood the difference between himself and the bloody guy. Although reluctant, he had to admit that even if he was a genius from a millennium to millennium as a ghost car, he didn't see enough in front of the man. If he wanted to keep the Jade Sword, he had to meet the demands of the other party, and then depended on the other party's mood.

Fortunately, the Haunted Vehicle clan has always believed in the ‘truth’ of the strong, so Fanchey did not feel much grievance about it. What made him grieve was the stinking costume he was wearing at the moment, a compromise he had to make in order to get into Hadland. Of course, he didn't have to go into the port, but when he thought about having another man stay in the swamp for several days, the taller genius had to bow his head to reality.

This stinking sheep-head's robe is almost the limit of his patience, how can he tolerate others spilling livestock blood on him? His dodging is a purely disgusting subconscious manifestation in his heart, which is good for not attracting anyone's attention.

Fortunately, Fanqi did not expect his actions to have fallen into Delphine's eyes. Prime Minister Qianjin immediately gave Brando a small report, and Brando naturally took note of the guy in his heart.

He was not as naive in his heart as Archie, perhaps a reason for a better understanding of the chief sheep. He understood that the senior priest of the chief sheep must have noticed an anomaly a long time ago, but the devils were cunning and ruthless, their lords, and most of their followers naturally clustered together, especially those who were able to climb to the upper levels of these cult organizations, mostly elites in various fields, and even more cunning and clever. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to survive in an environment where the beliefs of the five great temples dominated and the heathens were heavily defended against death.

How can such a person be so-so? The high-ranking priest must have noticed a power gap between himself and Fanqi, and he didn't make a sound on the face, but he would be mobilizing people in private immediately. Besides, even if they really didn't notice, they would wait for the ceremony to take place, and as soon as Arkentu's projection arrived, they would find someone without the smell of black sheep's blood.

Brando secretly called the pit father, but he understood that he was also responsible, because coming to this secret gathering was also a sudden occurrence, he forgot to remind others, and he didn't think that there were three other nine Phoenix in his team who didn't know anything about the sheep-shoulders, not to mention that the pit father could reach this level.

Though he understood in his heart that Housch might have been exposed, he did not show any abnormality on the bright side, but gave Delphine a look to calm her down. Then he turned around and asked a Christian beside him:

“My companion, I've just arrived from Martaha and it looks like I'm still in time for this event? ”

The sheep leader was stunned, but did not show much vigilance, because there had been a constant movement of brothers from other areas to Dharan since two months, and now the population of Dharan city - or sheep leaders, who had exceeded its permanent population by more than twice, had led to expensive prices and more incidents of provocation. After all, sheep leaders were also human beings, and had to face the problems of old age and death.

Earlier, Hadland residents may have been a little wary of mixing spies or detectives from the Temple of the Dead Moon in this‘ sacred ritual ', but after that fresh momentum, the locals saw that the foreigners looked hateful and couldn't even care less about the sentiment of being a brother-in-law, because after all, nobody wanted to shrink their original income and buy half or less of what was available on the market.

In such a situation, Hadland's natives are more likely to encounter each other as outsiders when they are picked up on the streets than they are to encounter neighbors. Therefore, any vigilance they wish to create is likely to diminish after repeated winds and cranes.

Not to mention the ‘dude' Brando was asking at this moment, in fact an outsider from Otta, east of Hadland, just one step ahead of Brando and others.

So he nodded, “My companion, you're lucky. Although Lord Knut announced that you would be early for the ceremony, you're just a day early, and two more days later, I'm afraid you won't make it. ”

Brando was not surprised by the answer, in fact he had already captured something of interest to him from the chats of the surrounding sheep chiefs, and if it wasn't for Father Porch, he might have chosen a more appropriate time to get into the conversation - for example, after the secret rally ceremony, there would be a small meeting of sheep chiefs, when the atmosphere would be more lively and chaotic and the alertness of the sheep chiefs would be reduced to a minimum.

But now that the exposure is imminent, he can't care less, he can only take risks and hurry. After listening to the sheep leader, Brando deliberately revealed his' surprise 'and asked, “Early, my companion, is something going on in the middle? ”

"My companion" is a term commonly used among sheepheads, which means "my brother, father and brother" among the followers of the Temple of Fire. Brando deliberately used the term here, in fact, to reduce the vigilance of the other party, but he also showed it to the blind, because the man didn't care about Brando's identity at all, only some fanatically said:

“It is indeed a matter of great importance that my companions, hearing that the soldiers of the dead have been defeated, are about to abandon their land of eternal death and retreat north. This is the great victory of the will of dusk, and my Lord is coming to this world, and the day the judgment ends, and victory is not far from you, my companion--”

Brando opened his eyes and wondered when the dead were defeated. It was obviously because of the fall of the Goddess of the Dead Moon that she had to abandon the land of eternal death. In the battle of Finhotos, it was clear that the army of the earth had won again. It seemed not only that the ruling institutions of the great empires would spread false news and powder for the stability of their regimes, but it was unexpected that the men of the Dragon of Dusk, representing one of the ultimate will of the world, were also a virtue, which could not help but disappoint him greatly. He was full of disdain the time of the merchants and young ladies.

However, it is not surprising that his expression fell into the eyes of the sheep leader and became stunned and unbelievable, because when he first heard the news, he had the same expression on his face.
