Chapter 21 Priests
At the bottom of the steel pyramid, there is an arched door several meters high, which is the entrance to the cathedral.
One by one, the clergy of the church in long robes walked hurriedly under the metal arched door.
The robes are of different colors and styles - this is the best mark to distinguish the identity of the clergy.
Looking around, the clergy walking under the metal arched door are basically wearing white robes.
Chen Fan subconsciously glanced at the "guide" in front of him.
Well, the white robes are the same color and style...
Chen Fan nodded secretly. It seems that these clergy, like his guide, are the grassroots of the church - deacons.
Although Chen Fan's movements were very concealed, the white-robed deacon who led the way still noticed Chen Fan's behavior of looking around.
He couldn't help but frowned.
This group of God's Chosen should have come to the cathedral long ago. Although the God's Chosen in front of him was absent from two oracles, he shouldn't have such a performance, right?
Could it be...
Thinking of Chen Fan's performance along the way, the white-robed deacon shook his head imperceptibly, and threw the vague thought behind his mind.
Perhaps, as the mother of the Chosen One said, the identity of the Chosen One brought Chen Fan a lot of pressure.
"Follow me closely."
The white-robed deacon, who was supposed to quietly complete the task of leading the way, reminded in a deep voice: "Don't look around."
"As the Chosen One, you should have the majesty of the Chosen One."
Chen Fan's expression froze, and he quickly restrained his small movements.
Just as he was about to catch up with the white-robed deacon, a black shadow broke into Chen Fan's eyes.
The white-robed deacon, who was walking normally, also stopped.
He bent his knees slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted respectfully to the front: "Priest, I greet you."
Priest?
New clergy?
Chen Fan quickly raised his head and glanced.
It was a tall man in a black robe.
The wide black robe and hood completely hid the other party in the darkness, and a pair of red mechanical eyes stared at the world outside the black robe.
Unlike the plain white robe, the black robe is made of more exquisite materials, and a large number of mysterious patterns and designs are embroidered on it with silver thread.
Whether from the clothes or the behavior of the white-robed deacon, there is no doubt that the priests wearing black robes have a higher status in the church.
"Carlisle, you did a good job."
A hoarse voice with a heavy metal taste came from under the black robe: "The third oracle has not yet been opened, and you are not late."
"Go, the Lord will remember your hard work."
"When the time is right, the Lord will bless you."
Hearing this, the white-robed deacon Carlisle's face suddenly showed a touch of joy: "Thank the Lord for the gift!"
Chen Fan, who was standing behind the white-robed deacon, was stunned.
There is no substantial reward, but a few light words can make people grateful.
Fuck, what is the top pie-in-the-sky technology? !
Just when Chen Fan was shocked by this pie-in-the-sky trick, the black-robed priest suddenly turned his head and turned his gaze to him.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, he stretched out his right hand from the wide black robe, slightly turned sideways and pointed to the steel arched door in front of him: "Your Excellency the Chosen One." "
Please follow me, the third oracle is about to be opened, and the other Chosen Ones have arrived."
Looking at the metal arm in the sun, Chen Fan's pupils slightly enlarged.
Mechanical prosthesis!
Like the white-robed priest named Carlisle, the black-robed priest also underwent a mechanized transformation of the human body!
But this is not the fundamental reason why Chen Fan was shocked!
With the reflection of the mechanical prosthesis in the sun, just at that moment, Chen Fan glimpsed the scene inside the black robe hood.
It was a completely transformed mechanical face!
Slightly different from Carlisle, there was no skin on this face, only intricate pipelines and a cold metal shell engraved with complex patterns.
At first glance, Chen Fan even thought he saw a robot!
"Your Excellency the Chosen One."
The black-robed priest spoke in a cold tone. Apart from the honorifics, there was no trace of respect at all: "Please hurry up. You don't want to miss the third oracle, do you?"
After saying that, the black-robed priest turned around and walked towards the metal arch without any pause.
Chen Fan looked at the back of the black-robed priest and subconsciously turned his head to look at the white-robed deacon in front of him: "Carlisle..."
"Your Excellency the Chosen One, go quickly."
Carlisle had an ugly but gentle smile on his face: "My mission has been completed."
He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice to remind:
"Lord Quinton is strict, please pay more attention."
Chen Fan looked at Carlisle in front of him with a look of astonishment. Even he didn't expect that the white-robed deacon would say such a thing: "You..."
After a brief surprise, Chen Fan came back to his senses and expressed his gratitude to Carlisle: "...Thank you, I will pay attention."
Carlisle didn't say anything, but just bent down and stepped back a few steps.
After saluting Chen Fan, he turned around without hesitation and walked quickly towards a steel pyramid not far away.
Looking at Carlisle's receding figure, Chen Fan's eyes revealed a trace of solemnity.
It sounds like this black-robed priest named Quinton is not an easy person to get along with. I wonder if it will have any impact on his subsequent plans...
He suppressed his uneasiness, turned around and quickly caught up with Quinton's footsteps.
...
The three-meter-high steel arch stood quietly at the bottom of the pyramid. There were a lot of complex patterns engraved on the door. In the sun, these patterns shone brightly, adding a bit of sacredness to the cathedral out of thin air.
Although the appearance of the cathedral was slightly different from what Chen Fan imagined, Chen Fan still believed from the bottom of his heart that the interior of the cathedral should be a magnificent holy place with a strong religious and cultural atmosphere.
Just based on the huge appearance of this cathedral, there must be at least some religious murals inside, not to mention the large-scale murals and sculptures, right?
After all, there is a portrait of a goddess that fills the entire wall hanging in his house. Such a large church should not be unable to make a mural, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan felt a little bit of anticipation and excitement in his heart - this is undoubtedly the best way to get to know the "false god" in depth.
If he is lucky, he might be able to find out some of the origins and "achievements" of the false god.
Therefore, while following Quinton's footsteps, he told Yi in his heart:
'Remember to record everything you see in the cathedral, maybe you can analyze a lot of information from it! '
Yi naturally agreed to Chen Fan's request:
[Don't worry, this machine is equipped with ultra-high-definition holographic photography function, the shooting effect will definitely exceed your imagination! ]
