The Great Priest's words provoked laughter from the Voidwalkers. The Lich Walker, who had been curled up in a corner, let out a series of dry laughs. He raised his green staff and said, "It looks like we're going to get our hands on a rare treasure today. The soul of a Great Priest? Kekeke … "The Lich Walker's body began to glow with a green light. He had begun to channel necromancy magic.
The other Voidwalkers had no intention of stopping the Lich Walker, and neither did they want to keep him alive. Although they were curious about the Lich Walker's true purpose, it was not as convenient to interrogate a person's soul.
Suddenly, the Cleric Walker, who had fallen into depravity, stood in front of the Great Priest. He faced the Archmage, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, and said, "Sir First Walker, please listen to me."
"You're not going to defend him, are you? You're going to defend a madman who provoked us? " The Archmage gestured for the Lich Walker to stop. He stared at the Cleric Walker, and his voice was heavy with pressure.
"I just don't think he's lying," the Cleric Walker replied. The Cleric Walker replied in a serious tone, "When the demons saw me, they thought the same thing." The Cleric Walker looked down at the Great Priest, who was still kneeling on the floor and staring at him in shock. "Sometimes, devotion and faith can make people do crazy things."
"He calls himself the Great Priest. That means he's one of the most powerful people in the Church. What kind of devotion is there in a man like him? "The Archmage retorted.
The Great Priest, who was about to defend himself, was rendered speechless by the Cleric Walker's question. A look of guilt appeared on his face, and he lowered his head in resignation.
"He used to be devout, didn't he? It's just that he's gradually forgotten his original intentions. Maybe when a miracle like the descent of an angel happened to him, it reminded him of something? "The Cleric Walker speculated.
"But this is not a reason for him to live." The Lich interrupted from the side, looking like he was about to make a move.
The Cleric Walker explained, "If the Church's organizational structure hasn't changed significantly, the High Priestess is responsible for serving the gods and angels. Although she doesn't have much power, she is regarded as the closest to the gods in the eyes of the believers. She is also the host of the Angel Summoning Ceremony." "That's right," said the Cleric Walker.
"Oh? Interesting … "The Archmage seemed to be shaken. For such a character, it was more valuable to keep him alive.
The Cleric Walker quickly added, "Aside from that, the Church's Angelic Summoning Ritual is ready, and they've successfully summoned an angel. Killing him won't stop more angels from descending. On the contrary, if we can learn more about angels, we'll be able to save Noirciel, and we'll be able to deal with the angels that are about to come."
"Priest has to be willing," the Archmage of the Great Priest said. said.
"Great, First," the Priest said. Walker. "First. Priest on Priest Priest Walker
A few moments later, the Cleric Walker dragged the High Priest back to his private residence and tossed him to the ground in a huff.
God Priest of Of of Walker. "Be" Priest of the Walker Like on "Of. in. Priest. like, like," Priest Like Priest on. on the On On King of of of of,,, Of Like, Priest, on, like,
On on in on on on, of, of of of of. on. The Great Priest Walker felt a little awkward. He looked around the sparsely decorated room, and he could vaguely make out the pictures on the walls.
The pictures were all of young, beautiful, and adorable girls. Each of them was gorgeously dressed and brimming with youth. Some of them were full-body portraits of young girls, but most of them were close-ups of various body parts, such as short skirts that did not conform to the teachings, fair legs, stockings of various styles and colors …
"You … You really are Lord Joel?!" The Great Priest felt as if his worldview was collapsing. He repeated his question. Obviously, the Saint Joel who walked alone in the abyss was too different from the wretched pervert in front of him! It was as if a beautiful girl had lifted her skirt to reveal her big breasts. It was a shocking sight to behold.
As one of the higher-ups of the Church, the Great Priest Walker knew about the existence of such a troublesome saint in the Void. He had been a part of the discussion on how to deal with the saint, so he knew how to play it down, deny it, and slander it.
But now, it seemed like there was no need to do anything about it. Would any believer believe that he was Saint Joel after seeing his room full of treasures? Does this kind of trash still need others to slander him? Wasn't he dirty enough?
The Cleric Walker, on the other hand, was unfazed. Even though his weakness had been discovered, he still behaved like a gentleman. He even said in an experienced tone, "You have to learn to appreciate this kind of beauty, without any lust, just pure appreciation."
Sorry! 'I really can't appreciate it. Although there are many young and beautiful priestesses around me, I'm already past that age …' the Grand Priest complained in his heart.
The Cleric Walker noticed that Brendel was still in a state of unease, so he said, "You haven't recovered from the shock just now, have you? Don't panic … God said that the devout will have nothing to fear. "
After saying that, a layer of golden light appeared on the Great Priest's body, and he quickly disappeared. His originally restless heart had actually calmed down?
"This … This is the Word of God: Serenity?!" The Grand Priest asked in surprise. This was the first time he knew what it felt like to use the Word of God on one's body. This spell was usually used on Crusaders and Holy Knights who had been through cruel battles. It allowed them to regain their inner peace and not be affected by the bloody process. It was a relatively weak spell.
Even so, it was still the Word of God, a high-ranking divine spell. In theory, only the most devout and blessed of the gods could use it.
"Lord Joel, does the Lord still bless you?" the Grand Priest asked in a trembling voice.
The Cleric Walker replied nonchalantly, "Who knows? How would I know what the Lord is thinking? "
"You!" The Great Priest's worldview was once again impacted. If this kind of disrespectful words were to be released outside, he would be thrown into the court of justice! How could a person like this use the Word of God?
"Are you surprised? Unbelievable? But this is what I really think. I'll tell you the truth, just like you did before, "the Cleric Walker explained casually.
The Grand Priest thought about it for a while, then hesitantly asked, "You're still favored by the Lord, but you're in cahoots with the demons and doing things that go against the teachings of the Church. Aren't you afraid that the Lord will punish you if he finds out?"
"The Lord is very busy. He has to spread the light, control the world, and look down on all living things. I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to understand what I think." The Cleric Walker chuckled as he walked to the window and pushed it open. A ray of light shone into the dimly lit room, illuminating the portraits of the beautiful ladies on the walls. Then, he said in a mocking tone, "The demons you speak of, including me, are doing our best to save the angel you've abandoned. What have you done for her?" The Cleric Walker said, "What do you mean by 'demons'?
The Great Priest's whole body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been petrified. The expression on his face quickly changed, and he fell into the contradiction in his heart.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Has your faith … been elevated? Is this the so-called Way of Ascension? "
"Who knows?" The Cleric Walker shrugged and leaned lazily against the window. The light from outside shone on him, making him look like he was glowing.
The Grand Priest stared blankly at the Cleric Walker. After a long moment of thought, he said, "I feel like I'm not being devout, but I'm becoming more devout at the same time."
The Cleric Walker couldn't help but chuckle at Baiyi's contradictory statement. "It looks like you're much better than Cia. No wonder you're the High Priest who is closest to the gods." Baiyi nodded.
The Grand Priest bowed to the Cleric Walker like a humble student and said, "I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Very soon, the Magician who was still in the discussion hall heard the news and asked with some surprise, "He confessed so quickly? Why is that old man so soft? "
"Sometimes, faith is troublesome, but sometimes, it's convenient," the Holy Knight explained. As a close comrade of the Cleric Walker, the Holy Knight Walker was well aware of the Cleric Walker's methods.
"Now that you mention it, I've always wondered why you and the Cleric Walker are still able to use the power of your believers, even though you and the Cleric Walker have fallen so far." The Archmage Walker changed the subject.
"In the eyes of the world, maybe we've really fallen? Because we've gone against the teachings of the Church. But the teachings of the Church are made up by humans. Should we believe in God, or should we believe in dogma? "The Holy Knight Walker answered the question that had been bothering the Voidwalkers for a long time.
"Interesting. You don't believe in dogma, but in God? Is faith really that simple? " The Scholar Walker exclaimed. "This reminds me of the folklore of Hope's world. A filthy, beggar-like monk is actually an excellent monk."
