In the southern forest, a small Hunter Temple was hidden.
No one knew when the temple was built.
Or rather …
No one knew there was a temple in the area.
When the convoy behind Hunter Temple's High Priest Kirk saw the Hunter Temple, they were stunned for a moment before they cheered.
A temple!
It had an irreplaceable meaning to the people of Naveya.
It wasn't just a comfort to their souls, it was also a divine light that shrouded them.
Under the divine light, they would be safe from disasters.
"The temple is too small, it can't accommodate everyone. Other than the priests of each temple, please set up camp around the temple and listen to the Knight's arrangements.
If there's anything, you can report to the temple directly.
Everything will be like how it was in Naveya. "
Krecko stood on the stone steps of the temple and said loudly.
No one would object to such a proposal.
Everyone thought it was reasonable.
After all, it was how things were in Naveya.
Under the Knight's command, the civilians and soldiers started to get busy.
A group of Hunter Temple Deacons walked towards the caravan. Before long, they carried jars, boxes, and baskets towards the temple that had just been cleaned by another group of Hunter Temple Deacons.
In front of the statue of the Hunter, the joss sticks were lit.
A big goatskin rug was spread out and on top of it were empty silver plates.
The deacons quickly walked over and placed the wine and honey in the jars, the spices in the boxes, and the bread and roasted meat in the baskets into the plates.
The food wasn't considered a scrumptious feast for the priests of the temple, but that was back in Naveya.
Now?
It wasn't scrumptious anymore.
It was truly a feast.
Running for their lives didn't just exhaust them, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger, especially when they were mentally and physically exhausted. The feeling of trembling in fear was unbearable.
It was unbearable to the point of breaking down.
For this reason, now that there was a stable environment with enough food, these people who usually thought of themselves as God's servants were moved to tears by the thought of it.
One after another, the priests from various temples expressed their gratitude to Hunter Temple's archpriest who had just finished his prayers.
"Here, we will have a new beginning. Although the beginning will be difficult, everything will get better."
"Please enjoy your food first."
"My old friends have been waiting for a long time."
"We need to discuss more things."
After that, Kirk stood up and walked towards the meeting room behind the temple.
The priests of the other temples sent off Hunter Temple's archpriest with grateful gazes. After Hunter Temple's archpriest left, they immediately attacked the food in front of them.
At this time, they didn't have any poise to speak of.
Hunger.
It had been torturing them for a long time.
When Kirk heard the commotion behind him, he couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.
This was what he wanted.
Of course, this was just the beginning.
A new beginning.
The Archpriest of Hunter Temple almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he thought of the final outcome.
However, knowing the current situation in the temple, he quickly suppressed his laughter and walked towards the meeting room.
There were still some things he needed to deal with there.
Inside the meeting room.
On top of a long oval table, candlesticks were placed one after another, and along with the candlesticks, dishes were served one after another.
Compared to the food that the priests outside enjoyed, the amount and size of the food here was different. It was more exquisite and tempting.
But the difference was, the food here was lethal!
All the archpriests were crawling on the table.
Their mouths and noses were bleeding, their faces were purple, and other than the archpriest of the God of Etiquette, none of them were breathing.
"W-Why?"
The archpriest, who was once praised by the whole of Naveya as the model of etiquette, shouted at Kirk with a vicious and twisted face.
"Why?
What do you think? "
Hunter Temple's archpriest replied with a question.
However, the archpriest didn't know.
Naturally, his gaze was filled with doubt and confusion.
"Sigh.
You are all trash. "
As he spoke, Hunter Temple's archpriest placed his hand on the archpriest's neck and squeezed.
Kak!
A clear noise later, the archpriest of the God of Etiquette lost his breath.
Kirk couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the archpriest widen his eyes even in death.
The archpriest was too stubborn!
No!
Everyone was too stubborn!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it.
However, the golden opportunity before him was a once in a blue moon opportunity, if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
So, he made his choice.
"Herasu."
Kirk raised his voice.
"Archpriest."
A middle-aged man with thick hair, a longbow on his back and a short knife at his waist walked out. This middle-aged man that Kieran noticed before was Pudd's teacher, Hunter Temple's priest. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw the death of all the archpriests, or rather, as one of the participants, he was only surprised when he saw the scene.
After all, it meant they were one step closer to success.
"Everything has been going smoothly for us up until now.
"I hope we can continue to be successful."
So, I want to eliminate all the hidden threats. "
Kirk said in a heavy tone.
"Understood.
I assure you, they are more loyal to you than anyone else! "
Herasu, who knew what was going on, bowed at Kirk and clapped his hands outside.
Pak, Pak!
Following the clear claps, a group of people walked in.
They were all different in height, weight, age, and face.
The only thing they had in common was their build and age were very similar to the dead archpriests around them, even their faces were somewhat similar.
The group of people knelt before Kirk.
"Archpriest!"
They greeted in unison.
"Mm."
Kirk looked at the kneeling people in satisfaction and signaled Herasu with his eyes.
Herasu quickly made his move.
A box filled with all sorts of small items appeared in his hand.
There was glue, hair, foundation, and so on.
He meticulously put on makeup for the people before him.
The people who already bore a close resemblance to the dead archpriests looked exactly the same after Herasu's makeup.
Kirk couldn't hold back his smile when he saw the familiar faces stand up one after another.
The smile came from the bottom of his heart.
Because everything was as he had expected.
Moreover, he had a perfect beginning.
He.
