The newly cut thorn branches were spread thickly in the hall of the Temple of Thorns, and the High Priest Slottu lay peacefully on the thorns.

The priests, led by Edson, bowed down before the old man.

The face is sad, but reverent.

If it weren't for the old man's quick decision to let them enter the secret passage, the 'seeds' of their temple of thorns would have been eliminated one by one, and the 'flames' of thorns would have been completely extinguished.

"Venerable High Priest, you have fulfilled your vows in your life!"

"May you rest in peace when you return to Lady Vanessa's arms!"

Edson, the elder priest, prayed word for word.

Quite simply, there are no elaborate words or rituals.

For the Temple of Thorns, simplicity or simplicity is traditional, and they prefer to spend more time pursuing meaning in life than focusing on other things.

Even a funeral.

The thorn branches were set on fire.

Not ordinary fire, but flames from the statue of the Lady of Thorns.

Under such flames, the corpse of the High Priest Slottu quickly disappeared, turning into a puff of green smoke and drifting towards the tall idol.

A faint light gathered around the idol, and when this wisp of green smoke came into contact with the light, it immediately changed into the appearance of Slottu.

Although illusory and unreal, it is indeed the high priest Slottu.

At the high priest's side, the soul of the boneless priest Barry was revealed.

The souls of the two friends smiled at each other, waved at the people in the hall, and disappeared.

However, the faint brilliance did not disappear.

Lady Thorn's voice rang out.

"Ryan will be my High Priest."

"Edson became my chief priest."

The voice echoed in the hall, and everyone heard it clearly, naturally including Qin Ran who was standing in the corner.

Qin Ran is not good at dealing with crowded ceremonies and gatherings.

Weddings are not good at it, and funerals are even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, at the beginning, Qin Ran stood in an unobtrusive corner, watching the venerable high priest return to the arms of the Thorn Lady.

With Qin Ran's expert-level [Mysterious Knowledge], he couldn't tell how this process happened, but he could confirm that it was indeed Slottu's soul just now.

As for where it went?

Is it the kingdom of the Thorn Lady?

Or where?

Qin Ran couldn't be sure.

He hadn't even seen what the real kingdom of God was like.

But in the bottom of my heart, I still wished that the high priest would get what he wanted.

Because he knew very well that without the other party's restraint, his plan would not have succeeded at all.

In a sense, the other party is also his collaborator.

However, compared with this collaborator, the other collaborator really gave Qin Ran a headache.

Since being thrown into the main trunk of the river of fate by the other party, Qin Ran not only choked a few mouthfuls of water and almost drowned in it, but he also found that from there, this god had been observing him from time to time - at first, he was still hiding his whereabouts, but after he loomed and discovered it several times, the other party simply became open.

Twenty-four hours a day, most of the time is spent watching him.

It's like looking at monkeys in a zoo.

It's more like I'm paying close attention to what test samples.

Whether it was the former or the latter, it made Qin Ran feel dissatisfied.

But he couldn't resist.

Titch's please, he didn't forget.

"Am I overdoing it now?"

With the frequency with which the other party observed him, Qin Ran assured that the other party had no energy to observe other things.

Faced with the appointment of Lady Thorns, although Qin Ran said a word in his heart, he still stepped forward, made a knightly salute, and said, "Okay, ma'am." ”

Looking at Qin Ran who came out of the shadows, all the priests, deacons, knights, and servants in the hall all saluted respectfully.

Some of the young people were even more fanatical.

'Godslayer'!

Such a name has already shaken the entire city of Navia, and the fall of the Temple of Fortune and the fall of the Lady of Fortune cannot be concealed at all.

It's like the withering of the temple of iniquity.

On the contrary, it is the great sheng of the Temple of Thorns.

Not only the increase in the number of believers, but also the ranking of the temple, once again returned to the Temple of Thunder, replacing the original Temple of Wealth.

Therefore, for the appointment of Qin Ran, who has the greatest credit, everyone takes it for granted, and no one will object.

However, the next scene still surprised everyone.

In the faint light, a figure walked out.

"Lady Vanessa!"

The people in the hall immediately fell to their knees, touched the ground with their foreheads, and made a big salute before straightening their waists.

Therefore, they didn't notice that the moment their foreheads touched the ground, the lady in the light showed her true face, looking at Qin Ran with a frowning and puzzled expression.

Qin Ran also frowned and was puzzled.

He didn't understand the lady and why she did it.

One god and one person look at each other.

By the time the others in the hall looked up, they had all returned to normal.

"I bless you."

In a faint voice, the figure shrouded in brilliance raised his hand and lightly touched Qin Ran's eyebrows.

Then, the glow dissipated, and the hall returned to normal.

People looked at Qin Ran with envy.

After a series of things, everyone knew that Lady Thorn would favor Qin Ran, but they didn't expect it to reach this level.

When Qin Ran became the high priest, he was blessed.

This is something that has never been done since the appearance of the Temple of Thorns.

"It's really surprising and enviable."

Edson, who had been promoted to the main sacrifice, walked to Qin Ran's side and did not hide his envy at all.

In the eyes of this pious old man, being blessed by the Thorn Lady was far more joyful than becoming a high priest and a celebrant priest.

"I didn't expect that either."

Qin Ran said half-truthfully.

He had been blessed by the Thorn Lady once, and he didn't need to go into such trouble, let alone show his true face to see him again.

If there was no other reason, Qin Ran would not believe anything.

The Thorn Lady didn't look like someone who did anything extraordinary.

"What could it be?"

Qin Ran guessed in his heart.

But on the surface, he talked to Edson quietly.

"High Priest, we need to complete the Knights!"

"More minions, deacons!"

"Madame has just informed me that the doctrine has changed a little - Madam has made the choice of fate more relaxed."

"It's just that I don't know what to do with it......"

"Isn't it vulgar to use coins to buy 'choices'?"

As he spoke, Edson pulled out a coin with a look of distress on his face.

Obviously, it was too difficult for the old man to add something new to the old teachings.

But Qin Ran won't.

Look at the coins that shine in the candlelight.

Qin Ran instantly understood the Thorn Lady's thoughts, coins no longer simply represent the value of money, but should also represent the choice of fate.

So......

An idea that was very much in line with the choice in front of him instantly appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

After signaling to Edson, Qin Ran reached out and took the coin, placed it flat on his index finger, and flicked his thumb hard.

Bite!

With a crisp sound, the coin tumbled and flew into the air, spinning and blooming with dazzling light.
