mechanical court

"There is no need to say more polite words."

A cold and majestic voice came from the north of the round table:

"The reason why we appear here is only because His Majesty is here, and it has nothing to do with you. For us, whoever can stand up at the most critical time of the order and maintain the dignity of God Atum is worthy of us." Respect. But Your Excellency Ozymandis, you don’t have this kind of respect in your eyes, and, as far as I can see... His Majesty doesn’t like you. In that case, what qualifications do you have to claim that you can unite the entire order?”

The person who spoke was a tall, burly and strong elderly priest, sitting there like a thick wall.Under the light, his big old hands covered with mysterious symbols kept changing color. Looking closely, these powerful symbols were twisting, like dragons and snakes trapped.

"..."

After hearing the old priest's words, Yiwen's heart moved, and he observed carefully, and found that at least half of the senior priests present had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces.

It seems that these people attending the banquet are not the subordinates and supporters of the old fox—maybe... as long as he explains the situation to them, he can get out of this prison.

Thinking of this, Ivan's heart became hot. Just as he was about to flip the table, he glanced at Ozymandis from the corner of his eye, and found that he still had a calm expression on his face, and the hot blood suddenly cooled down. It's freezing.

No...no!

All of this is too strange, this old fox arranged this dinner in my name, and pushed me to the front desk again, just to let me expose him in person?

Certainly not possible!

Since this old guy doesn't care about me exposing him at all, it means that he doesn't care what these high-ranking priests think of him at all-in other words, I'm just a bait for running out, and the fish has already taken the bait.

No matter how you look at it, it's like a Hongmen banquet.

"..."

Ivan quickly turned his head and looked around. Stimulated by the killing intent, the golden flames in his pupils blazed like torches, and everything in the restaurant, from the whole to the parts, was broken down into anatomical diagrams arranged vertically and horizontally.

The wind blows the long hanging white gauze curtains, the tree shadows sway on the glazed windows, and various furnishings leave constant shadows on the floor surface—everything in the restaurant has no sense of contradiction on the surface.

"His Majesty?"

The priests were alarmed by Ivan's sudden actions, they sat up straight involuntarily, and looked at him in surprise.

"..."

The scene was still the same, the tree shadows swayed on the mosaic glass window, and the wind blew the white gauze curtain up and down. He sat quietly on the spot, bowing his head in meditation, like a sculpture.

"Watch out the window!"

Ivan turned his head, his pupils seemed to be spitting out golden flames.

"What did you say, Your Majesty!?"

The old priest who had just questioned Ozymandis suddenly darkened his face, clasped his knees with a pair of big hands, and the trapped dragon-snake-like rune immediately got rid of the shackles and spread all over his body in an instant, wrapping him like an iron statue .

"..."

The high priest's calm expression froze suddenly, and the cloudy eyeballs under the sunken eye sockets shot out light, staring at the young Sun King with vigour.

"I told you to look out of the window..."

Ivan raised his head and straightened his back silently. The faces of the people were reflected in those burning pupils, and he suddenly looked at the ceiling and then fell to the ground:

"And the floor!"

As soon as the words fell, the priests present immediately got up and left the seat, gathered around Ivan like stars, and cast their suspicious eyes on Ozymandis.At first, there was a somewhat harmonious atmosphere, but suddenly it became confrontational, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became more and more intense, as if it might go off and explode at any time.

After a long silence, the high priest broke the silence first.

"I didn't expect... I really didn't expect..."

He let out a long sigh, raised his face, and let his face face the light, his old wrinkles stretched into a smile in the light, and praised in a positive tone:

"But in just a few minutes, His Majesty saw through the killing situation. If you were born 100 years earlier, you must be a generation of heroes."

Having said that, his tone suddenly changed, and at the same time he cast his eyes on everyone, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, but there was a fiery light shining at the bottom of the water:

"It's a pity that times have changed, and the only person who can turn the fate of this country around is me! Old bones like you who can't adapt to the new world, time is running out, why don't you take advantage of your breath and move on?" Entrust your lives to me and help me create miracles!"

"absurd!"

"Ozymandis, you are probably crazy, do you know what you are talking about!?"

"Now there are powerful enemies from another world outside and the Blood Witch inside, but you set up a scheme to kill us at this time? Do you think you didn't die fast enough, or did you think the internal strife in the Atum Cult was not fierce enough?"

Not every one of these priests had a heart for the Sun King, but at this moment the butcher's knife seemed to be on their necks. Whether their lips were dead or their teeth were cold, or their hearts were heavy, they were panicked and furious.

"I know exactly what I'm going to do."

The high priest stood there with a calm expression. Although he looked alone on the surface, he had a kind of calmness in control of the overall situation:

"You have never faced the enemies outside the sky, you know nothing about them, and you don't even know how powerful these guys have-that is a power that we can't match anyway. Unless it is based on infinite time, Only in this way can the near-zero probability be amplified to the possible."

Chapter 14 Dilemma ([-])

"Ozymandis, I'm afraid you are old and confused, no one can live forever!" The old priest covered in runes said coldly.

"Why not? Unas, you old guy is really forgetful!"

The high priest looked at him with a half-smile, with sarcasm in his eyes, and deliberately said in a surprised tone: "Isn't the Eucharist blessing left by the ancient god Seth just a miracle that bestows this kind of favor?"

"Holy Eucharist blessing!? That is a taboo curse that relies on sacrificing lives to pursue eternity. It is an out-and-out crooked way!"

Priest Unas's face twisted for a while, and then he showed a clear expression, gnashing his teeth and roaring:

"To perform the Eucharist blessing, you need to sacrifice thirteen holy souls... I see, you are planning to sacrifice us in exchange for your own immortality!"

"But that curse is just a false assumption, and even the creator failed to complete its ritual." A senior female priest shook her head with a frosty face:

"What have you experienced in the past ten years... Is that wise leader dead?"

"Everyone! Everyone!"

Yiwen was almost pissed off by this group of magic sticks. When was the time, he was still discussing academic and moral issues with that old lunatic: "Compared to the issue of curses and curses, let's think about how to get out!"

While speaking, he looked for Xia Li, only to find that the priest girl disappeared into the restaurant without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the world.

"Get out?"

Ozymandis just sneered when he heard the words, and raised his head. His whole body was like a dead tree with sprouts, bursting out with strong vitality, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed away like the ripples of a lake.

Crack-bang-!

With his sneer, the mosaic glass on all sides burst at the same time, and thousands of pieces of different-colored glass split into tens of thousands of glass fragments in an instant, and were pulled by a force and poured into the restaurant, like a sudden meteor shower. The light inside became colorful and messy.The fragments were like a colorful blizzard, thousands of fragments and sharp rays of light roared from all directions, drowning the figures of the priests in an instant.

"Hahahahahaha!"
