The corridors and canals of the temple were wide enough to accommodate a dozen or more people walking side by side, and it didn't receive the rays of the sun, so Carlos had expected it to be very dark, but instead it was as bright as day!
This is the corridor on both sides of the wall is embedded with an oversized magic crystal stone, and the energy is obviously abundant, that huge volume, do not know how much magical energy stored, but placed there just act as a lighting tool!
And magic crystals of this magnitude were on both sides of the entire passage, one every ten steps!
"Geez, just the energy contained in this one magic crystal stone alone should be enough to break the shield on that mercenary ship!"
Carlos couldn't help but think of the magic shield on the human mercenary ship before, it wouldn't recharge at that time, he himself was still worried about the energy of the magic crystals at that time, and now people had so much energy just sitting there as a lamp!
It's really a case of people wanting to die and goods wanting to be thrown away!
Drought kills drought, flood kills flood!
The difference is too great!
Further inside, the road was lined with colonnades of huge columns, each with a variety of weapons hanging from them.
There are shields covered with dents, shields have round shields and square shields, different styles, obviously from different periods, and there are also swords, spears, gaols, broken to different degrees, it seems to be the ravages of war!
A total of twelve pairs of huge, stone-carved pillars held up the main structure of the temple, each of which was carved with a variety of beastly motifs and intricate floral patterns in addition to the broken weapons hanging from them.
Each beast seemed to represent a kind of orc race, and Carlos saw so many seen and unseen on them, beautifully and delicately carved and stylized in a very vivid manner.
And a little higher up on either side of the road, on a slab of white marble, engraved with a series of reliefs describing the content of the Orcish Empire's myth about the Orcish god of war, Rasvid Jacob!
The reliefs took Carlos a long time to scrutinize!
Above there is the god of war Larsvid Jacob and the sea god of the sea Neptune Poseidon conflict, the reason for the conflict Carlos did not see, the relief is not engraved, maybe it is a disagreement, perhaps it is to look at each other in the eye, in the relief these two fight is the sky and earth, the sun and the moon, as well as the earth and the sea of the living souls on the charcoal, and I do not know who won in the end.
The bas-relief then only carved up to this point and then no more, after that it became a love story between him and the elfin moon goddess Azerothia, this orc boss seemed to have pursued the elfin goddess but it looked as if he had failed!
Immediately after that, looking further back, another beautiful woman with a human face and a snake's body appeared in the bas-relief, she possessed a flirtatious seduction that crowned all women, especially those charming eyes, which seemed to have a dazzling magic power, even though this was a bas-relief, Carlos was so deep in it that he couldn't extricate himself from it!
Shelia was the first to notice something strange about Carlos, and she realized that Carlos was staring blankly at the relief, his eyes becoming dull and blank.
Shelia followed Carlos' gaze, and at the sight of the beautiful woman with a human face and snake body, Shelia understood what Carlos was going through, and instantly a spiritual chant was sung, restoring clarity to Carlos' eyes!
Reacting, Carlos was a bit backed up, having been mesmerized by a bas-relief just by looking at it!
This is incredible!
"That was the ancient magic serpent Dilipia, and it is rumored that she and her race were the most magically gifted of the Orcs, and she was the most powerful magician within the Orcs at the time!
Her eyes have a powerful magical power, and those with a weak mind will be petrified by Dilipia's magical power just by looking at them!"
"It is said that because of falling in love with Rasvid Jacob, the God of War who had not yet become the Beast Clan's God of War at that time, and at that time the God of War was madly infatuated with the Queen of the Elfin Forest, who later became the Elf Clan's Moon Goddess Ezelastia, the Lord God of War was depressed all day long because of his lack of love."
"Dilipia out of love and hate went to the Elf's Forest and Azerothia theory, and then angered Azerothia, and finally from the verbal sword rose to the real fighting situation, and in the end, magic or the elves Azerothia is better, Dilipia failed miserably and paid for it with her life!"
"Even so Azerothia didn't let up, the elves of the Elven Forest poured out their nests to hunt the Demon Serpents on the continent, and now the Demon Serpents are history, extinct on the continent.
And orcs were spurned for their magical abilities because of it, and it became very difficult for orcs to comprehend magical energies supposedly for that reason!"
Shelia talked a lot, on the one hand explaining to Carlos why he was mesmerized, and on the other hand giving the story of the legend on the bas-relief.
"Do you realize how dangerous it was just now?
Luckily I'm a chanting priest now, if I was still just a wind whispering priest, I wouldn't have been able to wake you up just now, and if you were to fall deeply into it for a long time, your consciousness would have closed off and never be awakened again, and you'd become an existence like the walking dead!"
After explaining, Shelia didn't forget to count Carlos out!
It's counting, but it's more of a concern.
Carlos accepted the reprimand very humbly, well not much more after a few words from Shelia, and the group continued on their way, soon able to look up to the tall and looming statue of the god of war, Rasvid Jacob, at the entrance to the main entrance of the temple!
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
The height of the God of War statue was up to thirty meters upwards.
The God of War was clad in heavy armor, with a stately gauntlet over his face that made it impossible to see his face, and held an upraised, tapered lance in his right hand and a round shield in his left.
Beside the statue of the God of War were still two large magic crystal stones, glittering beside the God of War, setting off the majesty of the God of War.
The main building of the temple is two halls that extend inward, both foyers heavily covered with huge velvet draperies.
These velvet draperies were left behind by the dead Swan priests, who served the War God forever in this way, giving everything they had to him!
The dome in the hall was extremely well-designed, and in the center of it, a cohesive ray of sunlight shone straight into the center of the hall, and Hylia naturally stood in the position where this ray of light shone.
Shelia's hair was illuminated by the intense light from snow-white to a dazzling golden color!
Carlos gazed up at the idol in fascination, and by now everyone was looking up with a sense of pilgrimage and awe.
For her part, Shelia placed her hands together in front of her chest, and then knelt down with a look of devotion on her face.
The crowd followed Shelia's lead, while Carlos did not kneel!
It was at this moment that the shield held in the left hand of the God of War statue suddenly emitted a dazzling luster, and a pillar of light converged from that shield, enveloping Carlos in it, and this sudden change left everyone present at a loss for words!
Carlos didn't have the idea of kneeling at first because he didn't have faith, and his memories and behavior in his previous life warned him that a man's knees are gold, and he can only kneel to heaven and earth and his parents!
I don't know if it was because Carlos didn't kneel down or not, but a pillar of yellow light reflected off the statue of the God of War, enveloping Carlos.
"Holy shit, what is this, you're not going to get me killed because I didn't kneel you!"
Carlos was startled and tried to jump out of the range of the pillar of light, but the pillar of light was as if it was substantial, and no matter how much Carlos rushed, he couldn't break the pillar of light!
Carlos tried to rush out with his light energy drive, but it did nothing but hit the pillar wall hard, and Carlos panicked a little, the feeling of powerlessness being the most intimidating of all!
Carlos shouted loudly, but it was as if his voice couldn't carry, and Shelia and the others were still kneeling and praying devoutly, as if they hadn't noticed Carlos's strangeness.
Just as Carlos feebly tapped the pillar of light, a deafening war drum sounded.
Four priests in dark purple robes then took the lead and walked out from the left side of the hall, coming out to stand respectfully on both sides of the intersection, and behind them clustered like stars behind a red-robed elder!
In his hands, he held a solid black, worn tome, and a dozen or so priests in blue sacrificial robes, who should be about the same rank as Hylia.
The red-robed elder walked straight forward, lifted the curtains, and walked with slow, unhurried steps to the foot of the statue of the God of War, first bowing to the statue of the God of War before turning back to look at Carlos within the pillar of light.
Carlos didn't know who he was, but when he looked over, Carlos was in a trance of stars in those deep eyes!
Such a feeling deeply shook Carlos, this unassuming old man obviously possessed unimaginably terrifying strength!
Carlos locked eyes with him before hurriedly lowering his head, not daring to look again!
"The glory of the God of War shines upon you; it is the choice of the God of War!"
"From now on, the wounds you receive will be a badge of honor to witness!"
"Where the holy light shines, the God of War blesses, and eternity does not end.
Toiling for the sake of earthly afflictions, teaching God's people and delivering the gospel of healing.
Faith in the grace and light that God sends down!"
"What's this old man talking about here in his goddamned mind?
I can understand the words spoken, how they are connected into a sentence I can't understand the whole thing!"
Carlos didn't understand what those words meant at all.
Carlos didn't understand it, but Shelia did... it was a declaration of becoming a war priest!
A declaration that every new sacrifice has to go through, the completion of the ritual means the birth of another loyal servant of the God of War!
The worn out tome in the red-robed old man's hand slowly rose, rising to the same height as the shield of the God of War statue, the original worn out tome became golden at this moment, and at this moment Carlos who was within the pillar of light also drifted up, Carlos, the tome, the shield, the three were connected in order to form a diagonal line from the bottom to the top!
Three points and a line, the holy light became the link that held the three together, the light from the shield escaping as it passed through the tome to connect more of the holy light that had become more slender, connecting it to Carlos' body!
Like a transmission line, it was pouring a steady stream of something toward Carlos.
Carlos's body is not a strange feeling, on the contrary, it is also very comfortable, the body is warm, as if in the hot springs, the body can not speak of comfort!
Just as Carlos was beginning to enjoy himself, the ritual came to an abrupt end, and losing his buoyancy, Carlos fell out of mid-air and slammed into the floor, and was about to come into close contact with the floor when Carlos landed in a fleshy embrace!
It was in the crook of Hoffman's arm, and Carlos fell just in the direction of where Hoffman was praying, and Hoffman had just finished praying and stood up, and was about to lower his hands, which were erected in front of his chest, when Carlos fell, and Hoffman caught it with a single outstretched hand.
At the same time that Carlos fell, the tome slowly fell back into the red-robed old man's hands, and everything was as if it had been pre-arranged.
At this time the old man with the red robe standing at the foot of the statue of the God of War said, "Everything is God's will!"
Hylia, who had ended her prayers, and the others immediately bowed with a ninety-degree bend after seeing the red-robed old man, paid their respects very respectfully, and shouted in unison, "See Lord Thatcherd!"
"Your loyalty to the God of War is an honor to me!"
That Lord Thatcherd smiled back.
"Young man, the God of War has chosen you, you have an unimaginable burden on your shoulders, I hope you can succeed, I'm here to wish you good luck!"
Lord Thatcherd says something cloudy again.
"Can you speak more clearly?
I really don't know what you're talking about!"
Carlos really can't communicate with these goddamned people!
"Jesus!
That was Lord Thatcherd, the highest-ranking priest in the entire Orc Empire!
How can you be rude to him!
Apologize quickly!
Ask for your lordship's forgiveness!"
Hylia said anxiously, her tone filled with awe, but more than anything else, trepidation and unease!
"So what, if I can't understand it, I can't understand it!"
After Shelia finished speaking, Carlos's heart was actually very scared, but thinking about that image just now, it seemed that he was somehow involved with their Battle God Boss, so Carlos uttered these words in a stern voice.
He was betting that the light just now had extraordinary significance, and that Hylia had not seen that light, so in fear and trepidation, she knelt down and prayed to Lord Thatcherd to forgive Carlos for his sins, and said that Carlos was an outsider who didn't know the rules, and how it was all about him, in earnest and tearful words!
Carlos couldn't even look at it anymore, and tried to help Shelia up, but Shelia didn't accept it at all, still praying to herself for forgiveness, and wondering what she had gone through before to be so desperate at this moment.
Hylia's tearful plea caused a slight ruckus in the temple, at this time Lord Thatcherd spoke up, "Kind child, I have no right to smite him, he is an ordained Order Sacrifice by the God of War, no one has ever been directly ordained as an Order Sacrifice before, and his future accomplishments are unlimited!"
Thatcherd's voice echoed within the temple, not loud but steady enough to drown out Shelia's cries.
Then there was a priest in dark purple robes, holding a dark purple robe like the one he was wearing, and handing it over to Carlos!
Hylia regarded them all, the sacrificial robes of the order priests that she had never dreamed of, and now they were being given to Carlos, who was entering the temple for the first time!
Carlos was confused too, what was going on?
How do I I order sacrifices, what's it all about!
