Chapter 205 The Secret of the War Trial
Under the gaze of everyone, the Blood King walked into the Pope's Hall step by step without any hesitation.
Li Er stood there and glanced at Duval's leaving back.
The Blood King in front of him was just the incarnation of his blood, so naturally he would not have any fear.
Lareina, who was standing by, had a strange expression on her face and followed the Blood King into the Pope's Hall.
As she walked past Lear, she paused, her eyes fell on Lear, and an expression of interest appeared on her face.
Li'er smiled politely at Lareina, then turned around and followed the steps of the Blood King and Dival.
After the high-level officials walked away, the remaining mages and war believers finally reacted and hurriedly followed them.
…
Pope's Hall, Round Table Hall.
Dival, Lareina, the Blood King, the High Priest Silvia of the Golden Church, as well as Li'er and other extraordinary figures gathered together.
The Blood King sat alone on one side, while the others sat on the other side.
It seemed extremely absurd that the top leaders of the three major orthodox religions actually sat together with a believer of a pagan religion.
Dival glanced at the Blood King who was sitting casually on the chair, his mind full of questions.
Originally he was not going to listen to the Blood King's conditions, but in the end he heard an oracle from the Goddess of War.
【Agree to the Blood King's request.】
Just this one sentence.
Dival couldn't understand why the goddess would be willing to cooperate with a heretic who had offended the church? Everyone had their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall became weird.
Lear sat casually on the side with the three war archons.
"Speaker Lareina, High Priest Silvia, could you please step aside for a moment? The Blood King and I have something to discuss." Dival spoke up to break the silence.
No matter why the Goddess of War wants to cooperate with the Blood King, this is the private matter of the Church of War and should not be known to the Arcane Council and the Golden Church.
After hearing what Dival said, Lareina didn't have any thoughts. She nodded, stood up and left the hall.
Sylvia was somewhat reluctant, her eyes fixed on the Blood King. She had finally met the Blood King, and she had not yet seen Ophelia. How could she leave?
Feeling Sylvia's gaze, the Blood King turned his head, his bright red eyes, and looked over. Seeing Sylvia, he seemed to remember something, and he raised his hand, "I remember you, you are Ophelia's mother."
"Where is Ophinina?" Sylvia asked, the magic power of the Golden Law on his body overflowing uncontrollably.
"She? Of course she is doing well." The Blood King smiled. "She is about to become the Saint of my Blood Cult."
After these words were spoken, not only Sylvia, but everyone present was stunned. Even Lareina, who was about to leave the hall, stopped.
"...How dare you?" Sylvia was a little angry. Although Millia had said that Ophinina's faith had changed, this was different from becoming a saint.
In the Golden Church, the title of Saint is given to those who are chosen by the Goddess of Golden Law and are favored by the gods.
But in other heretical sects, the meaning of the word "saint" is not exactly the same.
In some heretical sects, the saint is the container for the descent of gods and a sacrifice!
Especially those evil heretical sects, the so-called holy sons and holy daughters all ended up in a miserable way.
Although the Blood Cult in front of us has not done anything evil, its belief in blood alone does not give people the impression that it is an upright sect.
The Blood King saw through Sylvia's thoughts at a glance. He glanced at him and said, "Don't think too much. Our Blood Cult does not need a saint as a sacrifice, and the Lord of Blood is not one of those evil heretical gods."
After hearing the Blood King's explanation, Sylvia obviously didn't quite believe it, but Lear had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense with Sylvia.
The Blood King turned his gaze to Duval, "Your Holiness, don't we have something important to discuss?"
"High Priest Sylvia, please leave for a while." Dival looked at Sylvia. He didn't care whether she was a saint or not.
"But!"
"This is the Church of War, Ms. Sylvia." Dival's tone turned cold.
After gritting her teeth, Sylvia finally walked out of the hall unwillingly, but she did not leave directly. Instead, she stood outside the door.
After all the irrelevant people had left, Dival looked at the Blood King opposite him.
"Blood King, you can now talk about cooperation." Dival said in a deep voice, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
"I will build a Blood Temple in Soros to spread the Blood Law to the aliens. Just like the Arcane Council and the Golden Church, it will only be open to aliens and will not affect the residents of Soros." The Blood King said lightly.
"Then what can our War Church get?" Dival took a deep breath.
"You can gain an ally." The Blood King smiled, "For your war trial, my Blood Cult followers can help you suppress the things in the seal."
"How much do you know about the war trial?" Dival couldn't help but ask.
"I know everything." The Blood King raised his eyebrows. "The sealed beast of extinction and the demon servants it bred, those things are all sealed in the old dreamland under the Pope's Hall, right?"
"Every once in a while, the seal will be eroded by the destructive breath of the beast of extinction, and the devil will be born. Therefore, the Church of War will conduct war trials to eliminate the devil and re-seal the beast of extinction. The next War Pope will also be selected in the trial."
As the Blood King spoke, the expressions of Duval and the other three war archons changed a little. These were all the secrets of the church!
Even those believers of the War Church who participated in the elimination of demons did not know about the seal. They only knew that every once in a while the church would open a trial channel to another dimension, and they would select the Pope by gaining merit by killing demons.
"I also know that killing those demon servants can quickly improve your strength, so you announced to the public that this is a war trial. Danger and opportunity coexist, and those who survive will become stronger!"
The Blood King continued, "You have kept everyone in the dark, and in the name of a trial to improve your strength, you have called on all the war believers in the Kingdom of Knox to enter the old dream to help you eliminate the demons."
"No one doubts you. The war trial is dangerous, but those who survive become stronger, so war believers flock to it." At this point, the Blood King's voice became low.
What he said was an absolute secret. It was Duval who told him in person when Lear broke through to become a saint and left Knox in his previous life. At that time, he was an honorary elder of the church.
Even the players at that time did not know these secrets. They only knew that the War Trial was a limited-time reward copy, which was only accessible to professionals with the Law of War.
After Lear learned this secret, he would return to Soros when the subsequent war trial began to help Dival eliminate the demons and seal the beast of extinction.
That monster is immortal and can only be sealed, just like the player.
The Round Table Hall fell into deathly silence. The secret of the church was easily revealed by a heretic, just like a stranger suddenly came and casually told you where the mole on your wife's body was.
Duval stared at the Blood King in front of him. For a moment, he even suspected that there was a traitor among the church's high-ranking officials.
Apart from the three archon families, even the high-ranking war bishops outside were absolutely unaware of the war trial.
"So, I think our cooperation should be a win-win situation." The Blood King seemed not to sense the changed atmosphere and said again, "I will build the Blood Temple in Soros and will not interfere with the beliefs of the Church of War. At the same time, my blood believers will also help you eliminate the demons."
"At present, my Blood Cult has three extraordinary professionals besides me, and there are many high-level professionals. I think they should be able to help you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Blood King spoke quietly, but the gazes of Dival and others fixed again.
In addition to the Blood King in front of him, the Blood Sect actually has three extraordinary professionals! This is already the same combat power as the three major orthodox religions. When did such a powerful heresy appear?
Originally, when the Blood Apostle appeared in the Royal City of Brefil, the three major sects had already paid attention to the Blood Sect, but now it seems that they still underestimated it.
"I can accept your request, but I will not allow people from your Blood Cult to enter the war trial!" After a long silence, Dival finally made a decision.
He did not trust the Blood Cult. Although the Goddess of War had an oracle that would allow cooperation with the Blood Cult, matters regarding the Trial of War could not be decided so hastily.
No one knows whether the Blood Cult's knowledge of the War Trial has some other conspiracy.
Hearing this, the Blood King's expression did not change. He just chuckled and nodded, "Whatever you say? But the cooperation I mentioned is still valid. If you can't solve the problems in the trial, you can come to the Blood Temple to find me."
"Don't bother me, sir." Dival replied in a deep voice.
The Blood King smiled and said, "So our cooperation is concluded?"
"I allow you to build the Blood Temple in Soros, but if your believers behave recklessly in Soros, I will expel them directly!" said Dival.
"Of course, that's as it should be." The Blood King nodded.
"There is also the matter concerning the Golden Church. You are a believer of a pagan religion, and the Golden Church will definitely not ignore it. In the Soros Royal City, I will not allow the Golden Church to fight with you. But once you leave the Soros Royal City, what the Golden Church wants to do will no longer be my business." Dival added.
"I will handle the affairs of the Golden Church myself."
"Also, if you want to build a temple, you have to find the land issue yourself. The church will not provide land."
"I'll pay for a piece of land."
"I'm warning you one last time. I allow you to build the temple, but if you dare to harm the residents of Soros, the Church of War will do its utmost to destroy you!"
After much discussion between the two sides, the matter of building the temple was finalized.
Lear sat aside and didn't say a word the whole time. He had never expected that it would be so smooth. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before the Blood Temple was built in Soros.
This will attract a lot of players, which is what Lear needs.
In this life, the Blood Cult is the first heretical sect to surface after the public beta. Later, more heretical sects will announce their appearance, and then the Golden Church will issue a large-scale task to wipe out heresy.
This is the main quest of the game, and all players will participate in it.
Players can choose to accept the mission of the Golden Church, or join the pagans to resist the Golden Church.
By then, the Church of War and the Arcane Council would remain neutral and obey the actions of the Golden Church. Even if Lear established the Temple of Blood in Soros, the Church of War would not be able to stop the Golden Church's cleansing.
This is a game between gods, or a trial game of gods.
Only the truly powerful pagans can survive and be qualified to travel to the wider world on the other side of the Decision Mountains.
So Li Er needs to build the temple as soon as possible and recruit players! ...
In a magnificent palace, the goddess of war gazed into the deep void. In her sight was the scene of Dival negotiating with the Blood King.
"Kroto, I admit that this mortal is excellent and is favored by the Blood of the Old Ones and the Morning Star, but don't you think you are paying too much attention to him?" The goddess of war turned her head and said to the black-haired girl beside her.
"Just consider it as I owe you a favor." The girl named Kroto said with a smile.
“Kroto, tell me, what is your relationship with this mortal? You reincarnated him into this world and took care of him in every way.” The goddess of war looked at Kroto suspiciously and asked.
"I just have high hopes for him. You also said that he is very good." Kroto did not directly answer the question of the Goddess of War, but just said perfunctorily.
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and gave the goddess of war an apologetic look, "Sorry, I need to go find Gold, and say hello to Gold."
"Gold?" The goddess of war was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something. She smiled helplessly and said, "You really should go and say hello to that woman of Gold. This mortal is planning to turn the Saint of Gold into a believer of Blood. He is really bold."
"Well, see you later." Kroto smiled slightly, nodded to the goddess of war, and disappeared on the spot.
Only after Kroto disappeared did the War Goddess's gaze become profound.
Kroto, the god in charge of the Law of Death, has no temple, no faith, and no followers, but her strength is the best among all the gods! No one knows where she came from, and she even existed before the woman of the Golden Law became a god.
So, all the gods respected her very much. Was the person she favored really just a simple mortal? The Goddess of War fell into deep thought.
