Ark of the Immortal

"Did Priest Pallas also arrive with you?"

Another priest asked about Pallas, and the immortal man was about to answer when he heard a lazy voice coming from behind him.

"Here it is."

Pallas rubbed her eyes. She was also wearing a gray and black robe. But because he had just woken up, he seemed a little lazy.

Even the robe on his body was full of wrinkles.

"Now that you two have arrived, let's go to the Temple of Heroes to register first. We will also arrange some activities before the Undead Competition according to your wishes."

The leading priest was very polite. After he finished speaking, he looked at the undead man first, as if to seek his approval.

The immortal naturally had no objection and turned to look at Pallas.

Pallas nodded and waved.

"Let's go! We'll arrive at the Temple of Heroes in a while, and I'll have a good chat with you about my arrangements!"

Pallas seems to have no intention of hiding his goals.

It seems that she also has great prospects for her "Battle Knight Idol Project".

The other priests seemed okay with this. So the leading priest led the way, and everyone slowly walked to the Temple of Heroes.

Along the way, several priests greeted the citizens.

Here, there seems to be no barrier between priests and citizens.

The closer you get to the Temple of Heroes, the more classical the architectural style becomes. Although there are traces of modern amenities, the architectural forms are increasingly archaic.

Seeing the undead man looking left and right, Pallas also explained to the undead man.

"We moved the entire temple to the mobile city-state. But many old Minoans were not used to the modern lifestyle in the mobile city-state."

"So, the closer you get to the Temple of Heroes, the more you feel that time does not seem to move forward, and people's lifestyles are not much different from before."

"Now we also regard this form as a local characteristic as a selling point to develop tourism."

I see.

The undead man nodded slightly, a bit like Shang Shu in Great Yan, the capital city and the old city of Victoria.

However, Terra's civilization has long gone through technological innovation and turning points.

The use of Source Stone has spread in people's lives with the help of machines.

Even places like the old city will use modern Originium facilities.

After passing through the streets and alleys, the undead man and several priests finally arrived in front of the Temple of Heroes.

There is a big difference between the Temple of the Twelve Heroes and the Temple of Heroes in Akroti Village.

The Heroes' Temple in Akroti Village should have been built not long ago. But the Temple of the Twelve Heroes is obviously more primitive and has experienced vicissitudes of life.

High walls and pillars made of stone bricks stand in the center of the square with delicate balance.

To the left and right of the road leading to the Temple of Heroes, there are circular containers holding flames.

"The Temple of the Twelve Heroes is a flame that will never go out, symbolizing the unyielding and noble qualities of the heroes."

Pallas whispered into the undead's ear.

But in the eyes of the undead, these round containers look too familiar.

"This container...is also in the temple?"

"Hey, how did you know?"

Pallas was stunned for a moment, blinked at the undead man, and then found a reason for himself.

"Oh yes, you are also someone who has heard the oracle. It is not surprising to know this."

"..."

The undead man said nothing.

The reason why he felt familiar with these round containers was because the appearance of the containers was easily reminiscent of the containers that held flames in the Age of Fire.

It has a semicircular body and a heavy stone plate at the base, which contains firewood.

But if it was in the Age of Fire, what was contained inside should be overflowing souls or the remains of the undead.

The king's weapon can collect the escaped souls, and each king's weapon is connected to the first fire. If you light a flame in the royal weapon and use the spiral sword as a guide, you can travel in the flames.

Today, it is no coincidence that Minoan people imitate the appearance of royal weapons and hold fire.

"The treasures enshrined in the Temple of Heroes are based on this sacred vessel containing flames, and in the Temple of Heroes, the flames burn forever."

Pallas continued to educate the undead.

"The flame is the barrier of the treasure. No one can put his hand in it. If you can win the championship in the trial of the Hero Temple, don't try to touch it. Just pray in front of the holy weapon, and the holy weapon will give you a response. .”

The undead man just nodded to show that he understood.

The situation in the Temple of Heroes was quite different from what the undead had expected.

It's not that I feel disappointed, but there are no five thrones in the Temple of Heroes. Instead, there are a total of twelve statues standing around the main altar in the middle.

The place he arrived at was, of course, not the depths of the temple, but the main altar that was generally used for daily sacrifices.

In fact, the undead people think that such a temple of heroes might be more appropriately described as a gladiatorial arena?

Just next to the main altar, there are many divided rooms, all made of sand and stone bricks, full of ancient charm.

The undead man and several priests came to the room.

Pallas took off the hood covering his head.

Before the Immortal Man could sit down, she slapped her hand on the table.

"Okay! Now that we're here, let's talk about our plan!"

The other priests looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little embarrassed.

They knew what Pallas was talking about, which was the idol plan she had discussed with the undead before.

To be honest, they also knew that their sacred objects might be taken away after this undead competition, but the high priests of the Temple of the Twelve Heroes could not think of any good solution.

We can only brainstorm and leave this task to everyone.

No matter what, as long as everyone works hard, there will always be a new path.

But Minos's idea was really fanciful.

Even though she emphasized many times that she had heard the oracle, not many priests were really confident to do it.

"Mr. Battle Knight, have you heard Priest Pallas mention this before?"

The older priest looked at the undead man with a troubled expression.

The undead man nodded slightly, of course he knew.

"Mr. Battle Knight agreed with my idea, and he also thought it would definitely be effective! My dear uncle, please don't doubt my loyalty to Minos!"

It seems that when it comes to this matter, Pallas has endless experiences.

The slightly gorgeous accent made her language cadence, like listening to an opera performance on the spot.

Only then did the immortal know that Pallas was also related to Yasenus.

"Of course I don't doubt your loyalty, but I also have to listen carefully to what the idol plan you are talking about is all about."

said the priest, whom Pallas called his uncle.

"Of course, then I'll tell you what I think."

Pallas nodded, and she collected her thoughts for a moment.

"The first step is to have at least half of the entire Jacenus Opera House perform the story of Mr. Knight."

Pallas said it very seriously.

"This is a necessary propaganda method. If Mr. Battle Knight cannot let everyone know about his deeds within these few days, there will be no way to form..."

But before Pallas could finish speaking, a priest behind her uncle spoke.

The priest said in a strange tone.

"But... as far as I know, 80% of the opera houses in the city are performing the story of Mr. Knight?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

The excitement on Pallas's face froze.

"?" Pallas's uncle sighed and said.

"That's the problem, Pallas."

"It's been two years since you left Jacenus. Since Mr. Knight won the championship throughout the year, influenced by the Victoria Opera House, our opera house in Jacenus has also been filled with plays by Mr. Knight."

"He doesn't need any fame and publicity at all. You want Mr. Battle Knight to become a benchmark that breaks the impression of personal strength. But he has become the pinnacle of personal strength and is the warrior that all heroes yearn for."

"How can a flag be used as a weapon to defeat himself?"

Having said this, the uncle looked at the embarrassed Pallas with a wary expression and asked.

"Wait a minute, you won't let Mr. Battle Knight do anything strange for you in Akroti, will you?"

"Uh...this...should not be..."

Pallas winced.

Let the undead have to say a few words as a comment after each battle.

This kind of thing shouldn't be counted, so it shouldn't be there, right?

Pallas looked at the undead man and blinked subconsciously.

Just in time to see the undead man facing him.

She seemed to feel the fierce gaze of Mr. Battle Knight from the eyes hidden under the helmet.

345.Guidelines

Facing Mr. Battle Knight's sharp gaze, Pallas could only look at him apologetically, and then began to refute his uncle righteously.

"How is that possible! How could I be that kind of person? Although I do have this idea, I also need to think carefully!"

The uncle glanced at Pallas suspiciously, and then at the undead man next to him.

The immortal man said nothing, so the uncle reluctantly believed Pallas's words.

"In short, Mr. Battle Knight is our important guest and a participant in the immortal competition."

"You can't use other people's signs indiscriminately, do you understand?"

Pallas could only nod.

"Know it."

The uncle sighed, shook his head, and turned away.

To be honest, Pallas's idea is really feasible.

But the Immortal's reputation in Yasenus no longer allowed him to dismantle him in public.

According to Pallas's method, what the immortals have to do is not just defeat these warriors, but face the fighting spirit of the entire Minoan heroes.

Although I don’t know if Mr. Battle Knight would mind, but the priests would not completely entrust this hope to an outsider.

After all, you still have to rely on yourself for your own problems.

The gifts left by the gods are not just for them to eat for free.

"Palas, you have to remember that we believe in gods not just because we desire the power given by gods."

The uncle looked at Pallas with a stern tone, but there was also a little kindness in his eyes.

"It is because of the power given by God that we have the opportunity to use our precious humanity to show the brilliance of power."

"Even if you are extremely talented and have unique conditions for interpreting oracles, you cannot think of some evil ways just because of the oracles."

“God’s gifts are indeed important, but more important is our righteous nature as human beings.”

"The gods may not respond to us, but as long as we maintain the integrity and brilliance of humanity, our own hearts will definitely guide the way forward."
