Chapter 263: Decay and Immortality

The sun rises in the middle of the day, at noon, the moment of execution.

The High Priest of Dawn recited the mantra and praised the sun, and a pillar of fire rose into the sky, and the flames were filled with golden light, which was the holy flame of exorcism summoned by divine power-Sun Flame Technique.

"No!"

Offstage, Dame Hathaway fell to her knees and burst into tears.

She didn't want to come, but she couldn't help but come to see Io for the last time, and to see her beloved Io enveloped in flames, she was in agony as if she was being roasted.

"See? Foolish degenerates, you have been deceived and deceived! Wake up......"

The High Priest of Dawn shouted excitedly, he thought that this move was full of wisdom, and if he could expose Bredero's original lie in public, wouldn't all the blasphemous lies he had made up afterwards be self-defeating?

The High Priest has confirmed with the Eros elect that the sculpture is not a miracle of Eros at all, and that in the main material world, there is no forged holy relic that cannot be destroyed by the Holy Flame, as long as the sensational "Io, the one who looks at the lover from afar, the immortal man of ten thousand years" is burned in public, and the huge adverse effects caused by Bredrow with the help of the Shadow Disc can be slowly eliminated.

"Ahh Io is fine, that's great! ”

The high priestess heard the excited cry of the damezza, and he quickly fixed his eyes to see that Io was unscathed in the flames, not even a single hair was burned, but after being baptized by the flames, the dust and dirt were burned away, and he became cleaner and cleaner.

The High Priest of Dawn was not too flustered, he had already made a plan in advance, thinking of the possibility of this statue's unique material being able to resist flames, and recited the incantation again, and suddenly dark clouds gathered in the clear sky, blocking the sunlight, and a thick thunderbolt struck down and hit Io, who stood proudly in the flames.

He cast a divine spell to summon thunder.

Lightning strikes Io, causing an explosion, sending the burning pyre piled up at Io's feet to the ground and the flames extinguished.

However, Io's mechanical body remained unscathed, and its skin was an insulator in addition to being resistant to high temperatures.

This time, a sense of foreboding rose in the heart of the High Priest of Dawn, and he could only activate the next backup plan, taking out a sacred scroll from the space bag.

This holy book is a god-given treasure, which is sealed with the legendary spell of the ten rings "Great Splitting Technique", this high-level dissociation technique is a divine spell that even the Mage of Faeron cannot cast, which can turn all the substances of the Faren Continent into dust, and even the artifact cannot resist the power of this ten-ring spell.

Even if this sculpture has been turned into a celestial material by the gods using their divine powers, it will still be disintegrated into dust by the Great Dissociation Technique.

The High Priest of Dawn recited the magic spell and activated this magic that should not appear in the world, but before the brilliance of the magic could flicker, another artifact on his body, the golden crown that had fixed the "foreshadowing technique", emitted a magical aura, and a trace of spiritual enlightenment came spontaneously.

The High Priest of Dawn saw a vision of the future a few seconds later, an endless dazzling light that engulfed the land, wiping out the entire Amm from the east coast of the continent of Faeron, and the surrounding Baldur's Gate and the many kingdoms of Tyrell trembled, the wind swept away, the sea roared, and the lives were destroyed!

A black cloud representing death rose up, and a huge pillar of smoke stood between heaven and earth......

Cold sweat flowed down the forehead of the High Priest of Dawn, and he quickly stopped the curse, not daring to use the Great Cracking Technique again, and his heart couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, and he was afraid for a while.

The Great Cleavage Destroying Artifact is a very dangerous act, and it may attract an unknowable being in the Void who is interested in the artifact, or trigger a violent explosion of divine annihilation, and the power is comparable to that of the Divine Fire!

Could it be that this "Io, the one who looks at the lover from afar, the one who is eternal and immortal" is really an artifact?

The High Priest of Dawn was not sure, but he did not dare to use any more disintegration and destruction spells on this statue, which would cause a terrible catastrophe if it did as shown in the foreshadowing scene.

As he had seen, the use of the Great Cracking on Io's mechanical body did indeed cause a nuclear explosion.

Io's energy core is the miniature nuclear fusion reactor, the fission reaction rate is controlled by the neutron-absorbing baffle, once the large cracking is used, the reactor will turn into dust, the baffle blocking the fission reaction disappears, the purity of radioactive elements in the miniaturized nuclear reactor is much higher than that of the large reactor, the fission reaction speed of the dusty furnace core surges, the furnace core will melt in an instant, and the temperature of the melted furnace core is too high, almost at the same time will trigger complete nuclear fission.

The scroll in his hand, the Great Cleavage Scroll, lost its aura, and the body that forcibly terminated the divine technique recoiled and dealt the High Priest a heavy blow, and the High Priest staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"The holy flame can't be burned, the thunder and lightning can't be broken, that piece of green light just now is a dissociation technique, can't you use it? It can't hurt Io at all, so it's also an evil thing? None of the holy relics can compare to it! ”

"It just proves that Mr. Bredrow is not lying, so who is lying?"

"Pastor Losanda who is used to lying!"

"I was almost deceived by him!"

……

There was a sound of discussion and criticism in the crowd, and the back of the Dawn High Priest was covered with cold sweat in an instant, and he restrained himself with strong willpower without losing his temper, and shouted angrily with a cold face: "The evil energy is too powerful, if it is forcibly destroyed, it will cause a catastrophe that will destroy the world!" This proves that Bredrow is the most evil demon king! ”

The paladins surrounded the temple square, and the citizens scoffed at the words of the high priest, but did not dare to roar like the siege of the town hall before.

Since the Knights took over Am, public opinion has become meaningless, and the people have shouted ten thousand words, not a single oracle.

High Priest of the Dawn is not as gentle as Mayor Bailana, who can burn anyone at the stake for blasphemy without trial.

Under the coercion of the holy warriors, the citizens dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"It won't be long before the demons are rampant, and sooner or later this evil thing will be purified!"

The High Priest of Dawn said hatefully, "If it weren't for your stupidity to provide it with evil beliefs, how could it have amassed so much evil power?" You are all guilty! Another thing that was announced in public this time was that the indulgence tax would be levied from today, and the tax would be used for the expenses of the Amm garrison. ”

Hearing the news of the levy, the citizens couldn't hold back and whispered again.

"On what basis! The Council of Six has done at least something for us to do with taxes, and they just take money out of our pockets with the phrase 'you are guilty'? ”

"Am's stationed six knights, and they want us to pay for the army!"

"It's ridiculous, did we ask them to come? If you don't have money to garrison, get out of Am. ”

"It's like a bunch of invaders......"

"Isn't that the invader?"

……

The main purpose of the High Priest of Dawn is actually to collect taxes, and the six knights gather in Am, and tens of thousands of paladins eat and chew on horses and spend a lot of money every day, and if they want to completely cleanse the city of the influence of Bredero's poison, they must be stationed for a long time, and they must be strictly managed during the station, so that this group of lost lambs can return to the arms of the gods.

The Church of Los Sanda has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but it has not been able to fill the bottomless pit of military spending, and the city of Ascatra is a famous and rich city in Ferron, and the wool comes from the sheep, since the garrison is to cleanse this fallen city, all the expenses should be paid by the degenerate people of the city.

"The proportion of taxation shall be one-third of the property of citizens...... Nobles can get a reduction based on their title...... Believers can also reduce taxes depending on whether they are religious or not...... The amount of subsequent taxes depends on the degree of completion of purification......"

As soon as the words of the High Priest of Dawn fell, the citizens boiled, and this rate of taxation was simply intolerable.

"It's a loot!"

"Why do I pay you taxes? We're not fallen people, get out of Am, we don't need any garrison money! ”

"Get out of Am!"

……

"A bunch of fools! This is not for your own good, but the unbelievers who have turned their backs on the faithful will be tormented in the walls of the unbelievers for eternity, and they are not grateful! ”

The High Priest of Dawn looked coldly at the boiling crowd, and with a wave of his hand, the holy warriors who were waiting for the battle took their sticks and flails and rushed into the crowd, knocking the citizens who were shouting the most to the ground and beating them indiscriminately.

"The gods have whipped you for your own good!"

The High Priest shouted: "All this is caused by Bredero, wake up, fools, if you want to hate him, hate him, it is he who sows the poisonous seed in your hearts, grows poisonous weeds, and the process of removing poisonous weeds is painful, but you will eventually understand that all the suffering you have suffered is a gift from the gods!" It's to save your fallen souls! ”
