Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island
Chapter 85: Erwin's Last Words
In Lin Ye's mind, the words of the former temple master Jialan emerged:
As members of the elders, they must not hesitate even if their bodies are broken to pieces.
Because this is the supreme law of the temple and the absolute piety of the Aiel people towards civilization and faith.
"Are you willing to say no?" Lin Ye murmured, but he couldn't accept it.
Using other people's lives to achieve one's own achievements is really not recommended, even at a critical moment for the nation.
Just as he was thinking, Rita standing aside suddenly said angrily:
"Huh, they just want to use this to let their heirs get the inheritance before others."
Lin Ye didn't expect these words. He turned his head to look at Rita and said doubtfully:
"Then how can they be sure that their heirs can 100% inherit the will of the Lord of the Temple?"
Since we're not 100% sure, isn't it the same as giving it away for free?
"They keep trying, hoping to find a way to obtain inheritance, but every time they try, they have to sacrifice someone. Naturally, these Ayr nobles who are used to being pampered will not go into battle in person.
Therefore, the beloved temple elders used their authority to call in the temple guards and arrest the civilians in the city.
Then they used various reasons to deceive these innocent people, forcing them to sacrifice their lives."
Rita explained expressionlessly.
There was murderous intent in her voice, but now it was a little colder.
"They want to gamble with their lives, but unfortunately, these people are a bunch of losers. No matter how many times they try, they can't qualify!"
Lin Ye crossed his arms, looked at the figure in the three-dimensional model, and asked tentatively:
"Then your father, Elder Erwin..."
Although he and Erwin didn't get along for long, apart from his incomprehensible paranoia and stubbornness, he could clearly feel this man's extremely decent style.
It is completely different from the kind of person who uses other people's lives to achieve his own great cause.
Rita, who was standing next to her, was not angry because Lin Ye mentioned her father. Instead, she said with an indifferent expression:
"He has always been opposed to this matter. Later, the matter became serious and some civilians and temple guards launched a rebellion.
In the end, it was my father who came forward and executed the gang of evil-doing elders in public in order to quell public anger and eliminate civil strife.
As for the method, my father responded exactly to what those elders did.
Otherwise, why do you think they would sacrifice their lives to help others open the hall?"
"No wonder!" Lin Ye secretly took a breath.
Sure enough, those who can survive the apocalypse are not easy to mess with.
At this time, Erwin avoided the inspection of the Zerg creatures, stood up again, took the crystal and spoke:
"Seeing the elders die one by one, I began to wonder if there was something wrong with our original method.
Day after day, I was the only one left among the dozens of temple elders.
So I consulted ancient books day and night, looking for ancient secret scrolls preserved in the temple.
Finally, I discovered a secret.
That is the oracle crystal."
According to Erwin, there is indeed an oracle crystal in this world, but this thing has not been seen on the planet El for thousands of years.
After cleaning up the temple elders, Erwin, as the chief elder, began to form a special team and sent them out of the temple to search for traces of the oracle crystal on the surface.
This is why the temple has opened so many teleportation points.
"Although this move is very risky, even if there is a glimmer of hope, we have to fight for it!" Erwin said excitedly, holding the crystal.
However, things were not as easy as he thought.
"Batches of guard soldiers went to the ancient ruins on Aier, the ruins of various cities, and all the sacrificial temples on the ground.
But in the end nothing was gained, and the temple lost tens of thousands of soldiers over the years because of this risky operation.
I am really ashamed!"
At this point, Erwin covered his face and cried.
At this moment, he was extremely emotional and his body was shaking involuntarily. It was completely different from the state when Lin Ye saw him before.
It seemed that the Zerg virus injected into the body began to take effect.
Erwin forcibly calmed down his emotions and continued with trembling hands:
"However, one day, fifteen years ago, a temple guard discovered something in the underground cave of El Star, and they brought back an oracle crystal.
We thought there was hope, but that was not the case.
That oracle crystal is fake!"
Lin Ye recalled all the previous experiences and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fake?"
How is this possible!
If the oracle crystal is fake, how did you activate the main hall array before?
As the master of the temple, Jialan has the ability to discern other people's information and can naturally distinguish the authenticity of the oracle crystal, but why does he still need to pass it on?
In shock, Lin Ye glanced at Rita and found that there was no change in her expression.
He understood instantly. No wonder Rita had such a contradictory reaction at that time.
He was still wondering at the time why, in this race where faith was paramount, a prophecy from the gods could not make her surrender.
It turns out that Rita already knew the truth!
"The oracle crystal says that it takes a person with red blood to activate the throne and obtain the inheritance of the Lord of the Temple!
Red blood, hahahaha..."
Erwin's emotions began to get out of control. He laughed a few times, his expression suddenly changed, and he growled in a hoarse voice:
"At that time, the situation inside the temple was already very chaotic. The temple guards were on the verge of collapse, and Aiur civilians began to question their beliefs.
Coupled with the incitement of the rebels, civil strife will completely destroy the remaining hope within the temple.
I have no choice but to use this fake oracle crystal to inform the El people in the temple.
With the oracle crystal, the El people of the temple have renewed hope!"
He paused, then raised his voice:
"But this is simply impossible, what a red-blooded person, it is simply ridiculous!
There are no red-blooded creatures on the Aiur planet, even the fungus carpet in the lake is purple!"
Before he finished speaking, Erwin threw the crystal aside and began to bang on the cabin door frantically, letting out an inhuman roar:
"The oracle crystal is fake, it's all fake, you bastards!"
From what he heard, it seemed that the silicon-based biolord had also told him some of the secrets.
After venting, Erwin was lying on the side groaning in pain. Lin Ye could even clearly hear the sound of bone cracking coming from Erwin's body.
There was a crackling sound, and every sound hit the hearts of everyone present.
Even though Rita looked indifferent, her lips were trembling slightly.
She just bit her hard and didn't attract anyone else's attention.
