Three days later, a group of knights rushed into the Bull Mountains. A group of knights in chain armor, cloaks, and longswords approached. Every knight's cloak had the God of the Sun Pattern on it.
An old man wearing a red and black robe walked out from the crowd and entered the valley. He saw the tombs littered with bodies and empty golden coffins. The entire underground tomb was in chaos.
A few dirty slaves were caught and thrown in front of the Cardinal. A few knights presented some gold coins and gold and silver wares to the Cardinal. Among them, there was even a mask of the Golden King, which was taken by the slaves.
The red-robed Cardinal took a look and nodded. It was because these slaves were selling these things that they had discovered this matter. The red-robed Cardinal looked at the slaves kneeling on the ground and asked, "Did you discover these things here?"
The slaves were trembling. In front of them was the red-robed cardinal of the Church of Light. In the Church of Light, there were less than two hands of him. In the entire Alen Continent, he was a famous figure. Even the emperor of the Crete Empire would not dare to slight the red-robed cardinal of the Church of Light.
Normally, such a figure, who was said to be the closest to God, would not be seen in their lifetime, let alone speak to him. However, at this moment, there was only fear in their hearts.
The knights immediately placed their swords on their necks and said, "Hurry up and speak!"
One of the slaves could not bear the pressure and shouted, "I'll speak! We are slaves of the Turner family. We have been in the Bull Forest for a few months. In these few months, we have been following the orders of our lord and digging everywhere. At first, we did not know the reason. Later, we found out that the viscount was looking for the Golden Dynasty's tomb!"
The red-robed cardinal nodded. After traveling through the night for more than a day, he had already learned some information. The Turner family was the lord of the nearby area. However, the Bull Forest was not part of the Turner family's territory. They had already violated the laws of the empire. However, this was not what the red-robed cardinal was concerned about!
"What did you see here? Tell me everything!" The red-robed cardinal was shocked by the large amount of gold and silver, but he remained calm. He was not a small noble from the countryside who had not seen the world!
The slave trembled as he continued, "That day, we dug a pit and found this place. We encountered many traps along the way, and many people died. However, the lord still drove us forward. When we opened the door, we saw the main tomb and the coffin of the Golden King!"
A black-robed cardinal behind the red-robed cardinal immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Get to the point, what did you find?"
The red-robed Officiant turned his head and looked deeply at his subordinate behind him. The subordinate immediately retreated in embarrassment. "Don't be anxious. Speak slowly!"
The slave nodded, "Then Sir Lord said that he wanted to open the coffin, but Sir Sova said that he couldn't open the coffin for fear of being cursed by the gods. After all, this is the tomb of the Golden King, but he still couldn't stop Sir Lord, so they opened the coffin!
At this point, the slave's eyes were filled with fear. "At that time, the Golden King seemed to be alive. However, after the coffin was opened, he immediately disappeared as if he had turned into a ghost!"
"Then, then all of them were cursed. Everyone began to kill each other. They killed crazily!" When the slave recalled the scene at that time, he was so scared that his mind was a little unclear!
The Red-Robed Officiant frowned. "What did they find inside the coffin?"
The slave thought for a moment before saying, "The first thing they found was a long sword. They said that it was a divine sword bestowed by the gods. When it was taken out, it gave off a cold light and cut the knight's sword into two pieces. It has been placed in this tomb for more than a thousand years, yet it is still as bright as snow!"
The slave's words immediately caused an uproar among everyone present, including the Church Knights. Everyone's faces were filled with longing and excitement. "It's the Sword of the King, the King bestowed by God, the Chosen Emperor. This sword is actually here. This is a true divine weapon!"
The black-robed cardinals behind him also said happily, "Lord Cardinal, we really found the Sword of the King!"
The red-robed cardinal was also very excited. Such a divine weapon that was truly bestowed by God could truly represent the orthodoxy of the Church of Light. He had to get his hands on it. This was also his main purpose for coming here. If he succeeded, the position of the next Pope would very likely be his.
At this moment, the red-robed cardinal suddenly remembered something. "Wait, you said that the first thing they found was the Sword of the King. What else did they find after that?"
The slave realized that he had misspoken. His eyes flashed left and right. The red-robed cardinal's voice was stern. "Hurry up and speak!"
The slave panicked and immediately shouted, "They also found … found the Blood of God!"
The scene instantly became silent. The red-robed cardinal asked with a trembling voice, "What did you say?"
The slave continued, "After that, they took out a golden crystal from the coffin. The blood of God was sealed within it. The moment it was taken out, an image was projected on the wall. It was the image of God giving the Golden King a divine revelation a thousand years ago. At that time, God not only bestowed the Golden King with the Sword of the King and the Seed of Grain, but also the Blood of God. At that time, God said to the Golden King … said …!"
"Said what?" This time, the red-robed cardinal could not hold it in any longer. He grabbed the slave's shoulder forcefully, no longer caring that he felt that the slave was dirty!
The slave immediately said with a trembling body. His voice had become somewhat shrill due to fear. "Those who drink the Blood of God can become a descendant of God and borrow my divine power!"
This time, everyone present could no longer maintain their calm. Everyone was trembling and dumbfounded. They felt as if their blood had rushed to their heads. Many of the Church's knights could not even hold their swords properly. A black-robed cardinal felt his body go limp and almost fell to the ground!
The red-robed cardinal reacted in an instant and shouted frantically, "Kill them, kill them, and those who knew about it. Do not leave a single one alive. Kill them all!"
"No, you can't do this. I've already done as you said!"
"Her Holiness Maria above, you will all be punished by God …"
"Let me go, don't kill me!"
The Church's knights swarmed forward and killed all the slaves. The scene was so oppressive that everyone could not breathe. After a long time, the red-robed cardinal finally calmed down. "Send a letter to the Pope immediately. This is top secret. Everyone present is not allowed to say a word about it. Anyone who leaks this secret will be hunted down by the Church of Light for eternity!"
"Also, Horn, lead the Church's knights and search for all the slaves that were present that day. You must recover the Sword of the King and the Blood of God!"
"Everyone else is not allowed to leave this place. Seal off the entire area. No one is allowed to enter or leave the entire Bull Mountains!"
