Chapter 489: Priest

In the interior of northern Ufeija, Addis, the capital of Addis.

In the afternoon, Addis was covered with dense clouds, the sky was dark, and there was a depressing atmosphere under the gloomy sky. The citizens of Addis looked at the dark sky in wonder, wondering how long it had been since they had seen such a scene. Many families collected their clothes in advance and prepared to take shelter from the rain.

On the avenue leading to the Baruch Palace, Mukhtar, wearing a turban wrapped in a crown, a long white and yellow robe, and a thick beard, was sitting in his grand sedan chair, being carried by several people towards the palace. Beside the sedan chair, followed by several trusted priests. Out of sight, in the various hidden narrow streets and groves around the Adus Palace, countless fully armed revolutionary army temple warriors were moving, and they were quickly approaching the Adus Palace from all directions, forming a secret encirclement of the entire palace.

The highest representative of the Savior's Descendant, Adus, was on his way to the Adus Palace to participate in the third and final round of negotiations. Sitting in the sedan chair, he stared at the towering Baruch Palace in the distance. He knew that these meaningless negotiations that had dragged on for so long would finally have a result today.

Mukhtar's sedan arrived in front of the gate of Baruch Palace. When the sedan landed, he slowly stood up from the luxurious seat, and then scanned the surroundings with his eyes with a faint halo. In an instant, he conducted a powerful and extraordinary detection of the entire Baruch Palace and the surrounding areas, and confirmed that his subordinates were in place at the designated locations around the palace, and confirmed his target location in the palace.

"The guards of the heretic envoys, including the heretic nuns, four white chalk, six black earth, and twelve apprentices. Shadi's personal guards, including himself, two white chalk, four black earth, six apprentices, plus that weird ancient elf... The configuration is no different from the previous negotiations..."

After spending his spiritual power to break through the not-so-thick "shadow" defenses of the people in the palace, Mukhtar gained direct insight into the detailed information of the church's special envoys and Shadi's personal guards in the palace. After confirming that there were no additional reinforcements and no preset traps, he was convinced that the two opposing parties had not yet noticed his actions.

Of course, in Mukhtar's understanding, even if the other party noticed something, it would not matter if he took precautions. After all, there was a gap in rank between him and the other party. No matter how much he took precautions, he would not be able to resist him, and all resistance would be in vain.

After just some simple confirmations, Mukhtar continued to move forward, and went straight into the Baruch Palace with his attendants, and then came to the conference hall for negotiations.

The Negotiation Hall is an independent building within the Baruch Palace. This building with a huge original dome has only one room, the Negotiation Hall. Due to its spacious space and luxurious decoration, it has always been the place for various important meetings of the Baruch Dynasty, and thus it has been chosen as the location for several negotiations.

Mukhtar walked into the hall door with ease, and then he saw Shadi, Vanya and others who were waiting for him.

Unlike in the past, Shadi and Vanya did not sit behind the large round table and wait quietly for him as before, but stood beside the table, accompanied by their personal guards, silently watching Mukhtar's arrival. Although Shadi and Vanya's expressions were calm as usual, their guards were nervous. Each of them stared at Mukhtar who had just entered the hall with vigilance. Among them, Gaspare beside Vanya was the most wary, and he spoke directly to Mukhtar.

"Mr. Mukhtar, can you explain how the wide-area detection just now worked?"

Before anyone else could speak, Gaspare asked Mukhtar directly. This kind of indiscriminate detection behavior was an obvious offense in the extraordinary world, and could even be considered hostile in a sense. After all, no one wanted to be checked from head to toe without any explanation.

Gaspare asked Mukhtar bluntly, with a hint of hostility in his question. It was obvious that Mukhtar's previous detection had made people other than the Savior Party feel that he was coming with bad intentions. Listening to Gaspare's questioning, Mukhtar glanced around silently, and then spoke calmly without any emotion.

"Nothing much... I just wanted to take a quick look to see if you guys are here. After all, today is the last round of negotiations, and I don't want all the hard work of the past few days to end up in vain because of the lack of people."

Mukhtar spoke so casually, without a trace of emotion in his tone, and Vanya at the side also responded to his words with a gentle expression.

"Mr. Mukhtar still holds out hope for the negotiations at this time. I am very grateful. Yesterday, Mr. Mukhtar left early. I thought he had given up the idea of ​​negotiations. I couldn't help but worry about the future of Adus. I am very grateful that you can come again today and talk with us again."

Vanya spoke politely, listening to the words of the nun in white, while Mukhtar continued to respond in a calm tone.

"Yes... What will the future of Adus be like? What kind of divine grace should shine upon the land of Adus? All of this should be determined today..."

As Mukhtar spoke, his eyes became sharp, and at this moment, Shadi on the side made a gesture of invitation and spoke.

"In that case, let's start today's final round of talks now. Mr. Mukhtar, please take a seat. We will start slowly as before..."

"No need. I'm tired of the meaningless arguments at this table. I plan to continue our negotiations in a more practical way. So let's not sit down. Let's just stand like this and finish the discussion in a while..."

Mukhtar said this and then the light in his eyes became more dangerous. Listening to his words, the atmosphere on the scene became more tense. At this moment, thunder suddenly sounded in the distant sky. The rolling thunder made Mukhtar's words seem murderous. After hearing the words about actual means, Vanya and the guards led by Gaspare couldn't help but tighten their weapons. Now everyone on the scene knew that Mukhtar in front of them had bad intentions.

"Mr. Mukhtar, what do you mean by practical methods?"

Standing aside, Shadi looked at Mukhtar in a serious tone and spoke slowly, but Mukhtar did not respond directly to Shadi's words, but instead announced loudly to Vanya's special envoys.

"Heretical Sister Vanya, I no longer have the patience to discuss these meaningless topics with you. The land of Adus can only be illuminated by the light of God, not the three false gods who attempt to usurp the glory of God! We will defend this forever with our faith and swords, and will never waver. The three false beliefs that seduce people's hearts must not exist in the land of Adus! Anyone who still believes in the three false heresies on this land will be eliminated by me personally!"

Facing everyone in the conference hall, Mukhtar made his final declaration in a majestic tone, fully explaining his murderous intent to everyone in front of him. At this moment, the murderous intent in the conference hall reached its peak. Gaspare and others drew their weapons one after another, pointing them at Mukhtar in front of them, and a conflict seemed imminent.

…

Just as Mukhtar went to the royal palace conference hall to announce the ultimatum, the remaining priests of the Savior's Surrender sect gathered together in the main hall of the Prayer Light Church. This was a critical moment that would determine the future of the Savior's Surrender sect in Adusina. Those who stayed behind knelt down in front of the Savior's altar and prayed that the upcoming holy war would be blessed by God.

"God bless Adus forever under your glory..."

"Lord, please use your glory to expose the true form of the three false gods..."

"The world is in danger again... Evil is rampant in your name. Please use this Adus as a weapon to help the world..."

In the ancient temple hall, the priests of the Savior's sect knelt in neat rows, praying again and again. In the vast space, dozens of devout priests knelt on the ground, worshiping and praying devoutly towards the altar which was completely out of tune with the style of the entire hall.
