ArsLan walked across the suspension bridge between the lanced at the hundreds of devoted practitioners and pilgriht of stairs, she had a weird feeling creeping in her heart To her, these poor felloere as pitiful as ants—perhaps in the eyes of the Gods, they were indeed just ants
The people ere praying on all fours saw ArsLan and recognized her as a noble Paladin of the Te They chanted loudly pious praises, keeping their heads bowed as they dared not to look at ArsLan directly
Even though she had seen this scene many times, ArsLan still could not help but look up at the Temple erected at the top of the stairs when she passed by these people as she walked up the steps
Perhaps the feeling of being worshi+pped by millions of people was not bad after allAnd Pro all these beneaththis must be how it felt like to be a God!
After clie platform Across the platfor nor, only the top-level clergies like o up there Although there were no guards around when ArsLan passed by this place, she absolutely did not think that the Temple’s restricted area had no defenses as it see any y, every time ArsLan walked past this place, she could intuitively sense soer She quickened her pace and walked across the platfor of the Tenificent great hall The great hall was supported by twenty-four huge, beautifully carved pillars The carvings on the pillars were frons and characters on it were beyond recognition There were also so
Below each huge pillar was a two-h bronze stand which held candlesthroughout the year, the overly spacious hall still looked soreat hall was a thirteen-step staircase On top of the stairs was a faintly visible lone figure The figure was not tall but in the eyes of many, he was too superior beyond reach His white robe seemed a bit worn out, but it still looked luxurious and sacred on hi black hair was simply tied at the back of his head with a silk ribbonand his face
His face was covered with a mask made of pure silver from the nose upwards; only his ether and slightly curved upwards which
As ArsLan was studying hilare from above She immediately bowed her head and said loudly, ”Your Excellency Proh Prometheus seemed like he was already sixty or seventy years old, his voice did not sound old but was instead gentle and pleasant to the ear His tone was calht aze cahtly swept across ArsLan and she ih this was not the first tiendary ‘h she was being crushed by a h everything For a fleetingin her heart
”Yes, Your Excellency!” ArsLan dared not raise her head She could still feel his gaze lingering on her, so she bowed and continued, ”I acted under your orders to go to Sauron’s Imperial City I’ve met the Special Envoy fro to accept your summon He will come to the Temple to ure flickered under the dihtly from above ”The Special Envoy of the Radiant Ehed, ”Your Excellency, I can only say that he is very powerful! His poas so strong that I’m not his match! If you’re really curious about his power, I think His Excellency Augustine knows better than h cal in it ”You don’t have to reustine’s issues The Elders Council will make a fair decision”
ArsLan frowned ”Your Excellency, when I was co else happened”
She seein a deep voice, ”At the Sauron Palace, His Excellency Paladin Fielding had a duel with that Special Envoy fro was defeated in the end The King of Sauron has wild as too seeh” Proht voice, ”I’s”
The expression on ArsLan’s face was hesitant She deliberately sighed and said, ”It’s a pity that His Excellency Fielding was defeated by the Radiant Edoms are now more determined to rebel And I’ and His Excellency Fielding to deal with dom”
Prometheus was silent for afor the voice above But after a while, Prometheus suddenly said softly, ”ArsLan, you’re one of the few clever ones I’ve hed suddenly, ”This hy I’ve chosen you aon Tribe to come with radually becaloomy, ”You’ve never really understood my intentions”
ArsLan’s heart pounded, but she rehtly, ”Use your intelligence in the right place ArsLan, do not try to provoke on Tribethis”
”Your Excellency, I don’t understand what you mean! ” ArsLan felt uneasy, but she replied huh, ”I hope you will rereeon Tribe were forced to support me, but I will keep reeon Tribe for thousands of years, I will seal it up forever!”
ArsLan’s lips curled into a sneer, but she bowed her head low, so it was i above, to see her expression She spoke in a solemn and respectful tone, ”Thank you for your kindness”
”Kindness?” All of a sudden, Prohter was filled with h I’ve decided to forgive your sin this tiain”
”Your Excellency, I still don’t understand what you mean!” ArsLan frowned
Prometheus seemed like he did not want to continue any further He stated lightly, ”All you have to do is remember what I said”
ArsLan stood for a while and realized that Prometheus did not see sense of oppression under his gaze This pressure made ArsLan feel icy cold froe to run She could not help but raise her head and glanced at Proure up there stood in loneliness, and it was ehtUnder the ohtened herself popped up in her o all out and strike hiht be able to kill hiht came to her mind, ArsLan herself was terrified But deep inside her heart, there was a faintly discernible voice which enticed her telling her to give in to the tehtShe had the power of a Paladin If she suddenly attacked now
But then ArsLan felt chills running down her back, and she i idea
Prometheus’ voice came from above, ”ArsLan, next time after you’ve killed someone, remember to remove the traces completely If you can’t even learn this, I will be very disappointed with your intelligence”
ArsLan suddenly froze A frightening thought came up in her mind, ‘Does he know already?’
”Hehe…” Prometheus’ smile looked somearive you for acting without authorization”
ArsLan bit her lower lip subconsciously She then made up herto say exactly? If you’re doubtful about ustine or His Excellency Fielding to complete the task in place of me instead!”
Pro tone, ”Augustine? Do you really wish for hiArsLan, do you think Fielding will still come back after what you’ve done in Sauron’s Imperial City?”
ArsLan was immediately lost for words and cold sweat broke out froritted her teeth and looked up but as she was about to say soain There were no traces of anger in his voice, ”I just want you to understand that Paladins are valuable assets of the Teustine, and your stupid move caused the loss of another trustworthy warrior of the Te, ”Although your actions did have soer result was obtained in exchange of a Paladin’s loyalty, it makes me feel very dissatisfied”
His words struck ArsLan hard like a ha on her heart Her body involuntarily trembled, and she asked in a hoarse voice, ”Your Excellency, you already knew?”
