Chapter 205 Selection (Please subscribe)
A few days later.
A grand celebration was held in the Golden City.
It is said that it is to celebrate the arrival of the candidate saints in Tulip Territory and the upcoming selection of the saints.
"The quality of the saints here is quite good..."
At the same time, Fang Xing stood on the balcony of the hotel, watching the parade of floats on the main road.
The 'candidate saints' dressed elegantly and gracefully sat on the floats, looking pious and noble.
It even caused countless citizens and homeless people to whistle.
Sophia simply put on a white robe, but it did not damage her appearance. She stood out among the many candidate saints.
Fang Xing looked at this scene and couldn't help but turn to Waldo next to him.
"What are you thinking about? A saint is to serve the gods and the Son of God, and needs to remain chaste..."
Wall looked at Fang Xing in horror.
"Do you think I'm so hungry that I won't choose what to eat?"
Fang Xing was speechless. He pulled Wall and followed the float parade all the way to Santa Maria Square.
Here, the servants and priests of the Glorious Church have already set up the altar.
On the altar, there was a fish and a pig, both of which had been gutted and blood was flowing down the altar.
Many citizens and servants of God were not surprised and looked at a bishop in red robes respectfully as he came forward.
"That's Bemos, the bishop of Tulip Diocese... When I met him, he was a servant of God who had just graduated from the seminary..."
Wall lowered his voice: "How is it? Do you regret it?"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to Wall, and continued to look at Bemers.
The bishop was middle-aged, with a full beard and a rough appearance, but a very gentle expression.
At this moment, he was holding up the fish and blessing the saint candidates:
"When the world was created, the sea boiled, and the Leviathan in the sea caused a tsunami... bringing disaster to the earth. Only God... God can save everything."
"On the second day, God killed Leviathan..."
"On the third day, Leviathan's brother Behemoth caused an earthquake in the desert to avenge his blood relatives... God forged a holy sword, cut open Behemoth's abdomen, and took out his heart... The desert calmed down its anger, and the earth stopped shaking..."
…
"Leviathan?" Fang Xing heard a familiar term.
In the main universe, this word means a giant, which is very close to the transliteration here.
This similarity made him think of more things.
"In the canon, Leviathan and Behemoth are both truly gigantic monsters, with bodies as big as a continent..."
Wall explained: "The fish represents Leviathan, which means the ocean, and the pig represents Behemoth, which means the earth. These two are the most suitable to be sacrificed to the saint... It seems that Behemoth attaches great importance to this selection of the saint."
Even as the two were talking, the cardinal on the stage had already blessed the candidate saints.
The Duke of Tulip, dressed in gorgeous robes, made his debut.
"After discussing with Bishop Bemos, we decided to use 'appeasement' as the theme for this Saint Selection..."
Grand Duke Tulip smiled as he announced to the many candidate saints, including Sophia, "The dragon beneath the Goron Mountains has become restless and is about to awaken from its slumber... Whoever of you saints can appease or seal the dragon spirit will be the true saint of this selection!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the candidate saints changed.
If Tulip wasn't the Duke and had a team of guards standing beside him, they would probably have started cursing.
Dragon! In the Dukedom of Tulip, it is synonymous with terror and fear.
Ordinary people avoid it, who can appease it?
What's more, in all kinds of dark fairy tales, dragons love to capture princesses and pure girls the most, and they eat a princess every day! Grand Duke Tulip smiled: "Bishop Bemos and I will supervise this appeasement... In addition, you can ask for external help at will, there are no restrictions in this regard... After all, everything is God's will!"
For the truly extraordinary, they certainly know that there are no dragons in the world, only evil spirits! But the spirit under the Goron Mountains has reached the level of a "great spirit", a disaster that can massacre a city!
The more extraordinary powers a person possesses, the less willing you are to provoke him!
In the true mystical world, a wizard who could carry an ordinary 'spirit' was actually a very powerful figure.
Even for such an existence, going against the Great Spirit would only be seeking death.
Sophia's hands and feet were shaking, and she looked at Fang Xing and Wall almost subconsciously.
At this time, Bishop Bemers also looked over, with a smile and encouragement in his eyes.
"These guys deserve to be captured by the dragon! We've been tricked."
Wall cursed: "It seems that the dragon spirit under the Goron Mountains can no longer be suppressed..."
"This is a conspiracy, but it's easy to break it. Just turn around and leave, as far away from the City of Gold as possible, or even leave the Dukedom of Tulip..."
Fang Xing shrugged his shoulders: "The question is...will you leave?"
"I won't!"
Wall clenched the cross sword in his hand.
"So, the most unsolvable thing is the open conspiracy..."
Fang Xing shook his head and sighed in his heart: "In this case... it is better to unite with Sofia, at least I can get the latest information and a little support."
He stayed mainly to watch the show.
Mainly, I just want to see if this fairy tale adventure duo can take down the dragon if I don't take action. "Hmm?"
At this moment, he suddenly looked towards the city gate.
…
At this time, a caravan was entering the city at the city gate.
The caravan was from the 'Iron Cup Chamber of Commerce' which had been doing business in Tulip Territory for many years, and the leader had some friendship with the soldiers guarding the gate.
After handing over a few copper coins, he immediately asked with a smile: "Is there any celebration today?"
"Yes, the selection of saints is finally about to begin... What a pity, I heard that each of the saints is as beautiful as an angel."
The captain of the soldiers licked his lips and smiled with decayed teeth.
The leader nodded, returned to the convoy, and got into a carriage.
The interior of the carriage was covered with blankets, which looked very soft.
A skinny old man with tattoos all over his body was sitting cross-legged, with a crystal ball placed on the black goose down mat in front of him.
In the crystal ball, one can vaguely see a square with a large number of human figures on it, but they appear very blurry.
The facial features of those figures were blurred, and the only similarity was that they all had tears of blood on their faces! In the middle of these figures was the figure of a young man.
"The foreigner...the foreigner who killed the Great Witch of Menbasa, no matter where he fled...the 'Great Lord' would bring down his wrath and destroy him!"
The scrawny wizard's voice croaked.
"Honorable Elder Priscilla, everything will be as you wish..."
The leader of the Chamber of Commerce knelt down respectfully.
The heritage of the Sadu cult is primitive and bloody, and there are not many classes within it.
Menbasa is already a figure equivalent to a regional bishop, while this Elder Priscilla is equivalent to the black archbishop of the Glorious Church!
Second only to the Pope! And because there are so few elders in the Sadhu Cult, Priscilla should be one of the most powerful people in the Sadhu Cult.
"The Lord says... let us bring disease, plague, and death to this city!"
Priscilla showed an innocent smile: "Only death and the passing of a large number of lives can please the Lord... When the whole city is under the haze of death, we will come with the savior and the gospel. Even the Duke of Tulip will have to surrender and kneel down to kiss the land I walk on!"
The leader of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly felt creepy.
Because this elder is really capable of doing such a thing!
As an elder of the Sadu Sect, the other party has a "big spirit" bound to him.
This great spirit once brought endless plagues and a large number of deaths... There were even extraordinary people who worshipped it and established a small sect for it, worshipping it as the 'Cat-Eating God'! However, when the glory faded, the sect of the Cat-Eating God came out to spread the faith and collided with the Sadu Cult.
The result is clear. All the followers of the Cat-Eating God were sacrificed to the Lord. Even the 'Cat-Eating God' himself was bound by Elder Priscilla with the help of the Lord and became the source of his power! "No... Hurry! Give it to me..."
Priscilla was smiling, but her expression suddenly changed: "Give it to me!"
His expression was ferocious, his facial muscles twitched, and his eyes, which were already small to begin with, became even smaller, with a emerald green light emitting from them.
Not only that, his face also became long and narrow, like a big rat, or in other words, a man with a rat face and a human body: "Give me a sacrifice!"
“Yes, yes!”
The Chamber of Commerce leader immediately took out a tray with many meatballs on it from the cabinet next to him.
This offering is made of cat meat as the main ingredient, human blood, and various extraordinary materials. It can suppress the riot of the "Cat-Eating God".
Priscilla quickly grabbed a meatball and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it until the juice flowed out.
One, two, three...
When all the meatballs on the tray disappeared, he let out a ferocious and hoarse voice: "Why? Why not? Great Lord... are you punishing me?"
The next moment, a creepy sound came from inside the car.
All the people in the caravan dispersed.
Around the Golden City, a layer of blue-black mist had appeared at some point and became thicker and thicker until it engulfed the entire city.
In the mist, there were countless black shadows running around on the ground, making constant squeaking sounds.
Goron Mountains.
A hilltop.
"here we go!"
A wizard dressed in the Sadu Cult muttered, "If Elder Priscilla can suppress the 'Cat-Eating Spirit', then we can follow his plan... But unfortunately, he can't suppress that bloody and cruel spirit, so he can only turn himself into a 'tool' to transport the spirit..."
"He should be proud to have used a city to bury that foreigner..."
