Chronicle of the Temple of Light

Haider quickly came back to his senses, and was alert to the movement around him.

The crowd was also disturbed by the sound. People looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know where the sound just came from.

Because this heretic must have been among the crowd, the holy knights did not dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting innocent civilians and causing unnecessary casualties.

And that voice seemed to be only for saying this sentence, and there was no more movement after that.

For a while, the entire square was silent, and gradually, the crowd's discussion gradually became louder.

Santos stood aside, listening to people's speculation, his face flushed with anger, and Bollage patted him on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.

Aldrich narrowed his eyes, suddenly pointed to a direction in the crowd, and said to Haider, "There."

The crowd was in an uproar because of the pope's sudden movement, and they parted like Moses splitting the sea, leaving only one man in black standing motionless at the place Aldrich pointed out, with a hood over his head, so he couldn't see clearly.

Haider quickly drew out his sword, and at the same time, the man in black laughed strangely.

For a moment, Haider only felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. He was a little dizzy. After trying to stand still, he shook his head, but he still couldn't get rid of the dizziness.

He felt that it was difficult to breathe, and everything in his vision became blurred, but the scene before his sister Fulla's death was played back very clearly in his mind.

Haider lives in hallucinations, which is not the case in the eyes of others.

The civilians could only see the knight commander suddenly half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath, with cold sweat on his forehead.The long sword in his hand was propped on the ground, slightly bent.

Then, black smoke in the shape of an evil spirit drilled out of Haider's body, and it threw its teeth and claws at the surrounding civilians, and the crowd scattered in all directions screaming.

Aldrich's pupils shrank sharply, and without thinking about anything else, he turned over and jumped off the balcony, helping Haider up.

With a painful expression on his face, Haider tried to squeeze out a few words: "Don't, touch me."

How could Aldrich listen to him? He held Haider up, summoned his divine power to temporarily knock him unconscious, and the black smoke disappeared immediately.

He handed the unconscious Haider to Cesia who rushed over, looked directly at the man in black, and frowned, "God of Darkness? Why?"

The black-robed man said hoarsely: "I've had enough! Why, being the child of the mother god, can he have the priesthood of the sun praised by the world, while I can only stay in the dark?! Why should I be ridden by him forever?" On the head? Why can he be the main god but I can't?! Don't we all know how he got the priesthood of light! He got it by killing his twin sister!"

Aldridge stared at him for a while, the silver gray in his eyes gradually became lighter.

He said firmly, "You are not the God of Darkness."

The man in black chuckled a few times: "I said I am."

He suddenly raised his voice: "The sun god Aslantu colluded with others and killed the moon god Fulla! Then he turned his accomplices into monsters in order to silence them, and sealed them in the abyss of evil! You stupid human beings, your beliefs over the years are nothing more than It's an empty shell! The God of Light has never descended in the world! Because, he's already dead!"

"He's dead long ago! And I, the great God of Darkness, Gabrielle, will rule the Three Realms!"

At this point, Aldridge finally understood the identity of the man in black—Gabriel, the God of the Abyss.

Aldridge's priesthood is not suitable for fighting, but looking at Haider who almost fell, he can only bite the bullet and confront the ancient god of nature, the God of the Abyss.

Just, why did Gabriel Lace call himself the God of Darkness?

Haider slowly opened his eyes.

Surrounded by a place that he will never forget in his life—the Temple of the Sun, which is also the place where Fulla fell.

He didn't know how many times he recalled the scene again. Fulla landed in front of him, and her figure slowly became transparent.

He watched all this almost in despair, when suddenly, Fulla grabbed him by the neck.

"Why! It's obviously your fault! Why didn't you die! Why didn't you kill those humans who harmed me?!" Fulla cried blood.

Aslantu gently held his sister's hand: "I'm sorry, although I can't revive you, I can send all those traitors to you to make amends."

"Don't worry, their souls will no longer exist in this world."

"The despair you have experienced, I will make them pay back a thousand times." He solemnly promised.

The touch in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the scene changed again, turning into his room in the Temple of Light.

This time, he really woke up.

There was no one in the room, Haider patted his head with a headache, got up and got out of bed.

There was no one outside the door either.

He walked through the corridor and went straight to the right side hall.

There is only one priest left in the right side hall, looking very tired.

The priest was already a little drowsy, but suddenly woke up after seeing Haider.

"Master Knight Commander! You finally woke up..."

"Finally?" Haider wondered, "I slept for a long time?"

"It's been almost a month. The army of evil gods outside is getting closer and closer to the Kingdom of God. What's even worse, some countries even provide convenience for them..." the priest said angrily.

Haider looked puzzled, and suddenly said: "Take a good rest."

"What..." Before the priest could finish speaking, sleepiness became fierce.

Before falling into a deep sleep, he seemed to see the knight commander's sea-blue eyes turning red.

Haider walked slowly from the right side hall to the left side hall, but there was still no one in sight.

He didn't care, and casually pushed open the door of the left side hall, and the heated debate inside stopped.

Aldrich was pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache and listening to the high-level officials of the Temple of Light arguing about the battle outside. Seeing that the person who opened the door was Haider, who had been in a coma for a month, he didn't think about it, and rushed to meet him.

"Wake up..." His voice faded away, after he saw Haider's blood-red eyes.

Haider smiled indifferently, and said, "Tell me, what's going on outside now."

"You... have fallen?!" Aldrich grabbed his shoulder suddenly, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, and he had to be careful of other people in the hall to hear him.

"As you can see."

Aldridge couldn't believe it: "Do you know what that means? The fallen gods are the enemy of all gods!"

"Then do you want to be my enemy?" Haider lost interest, brushed his hand away, and walked into the hall.

The rest of the people couldn't see Haider's changed eye color, and the blue they usually saw was just a disguise.

"Where are you now?" Haider asked.

Chesia was the first to react, pointing to a canyon on the map and said: "It's already here. Morse Canyon belongs to the Kingdom of Ganga, and they also have the only suspension bridge that can allow the army to pass through the canyon."

"According to the news from the frontline scouts, the princes and nobles of the Ganga Kingdom have met with the leader of the evil god army, and they will soon sign an alliance treaty," Chesia sighed, "Now, we are discussing whether there is still a relationship with the Ganga Kingdom. Contact is necessary."

"Of course not. If they dare to betray once, there will be a second time." Santos, the leader of the Grace Sect, said angrily.

Kate Stevens of the neutral faction said: "It's just an attempt. If the Kingdom of Gunja can cooperate with us, the army will not be able to cross Morse Canyon, so they will have to go around. This will give us an extra month and a half deployment time."

Several people argued again, and Aldrich returned to the table, silently.

Haider looked at the map and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Then destroy the suspension bridge."

The few people who were arguing stopped, and Checia tentatively said: "But this suspension bridge is also the only way for the capital of the Kingdom of Ganga to communicate with the outside world. If the suspension bridge is destroyed, their capital will run out of food, and a large number of civilians will be killed or injured. .”

"It was their nobles who chose to betray. If their civilians want to live, they should try their best to resist. We will send people to repair the suspension bridge." Haider said indifferently.

"No," Aldridge said decisively, "Once the food is in an emergency, the people must be sacrificed first. This is our war against the evil gods, and there can be no additional sacrifices."

Haider squinted and looked at him coldly: "I'm not discussing with you. If we lose, do you think they can survive?"

"It's different."

"What's the difference? Why do you put their life and death rights in the hands of the enemy?"

Aldrich was at a loss for words, and the others were also a little moved.

Haider coaxed: "If you still disagree, why don't we give them some time and tell them in advance that we are going to destroy the suspension bridge. If they are smart enough, they will know what to do; Alliance, don’t blame us for being rude.”

The others had obviously been persuaded and were just waiting for Aldridge to speak.

Aldridge sighed secretly, but after all, this is already a compromise: "Okay."

The meeting ended in a hurry, and Aldridge left Haider behind.

"You've never made a proposal that would harm civilians before."

"I didn't care about it at all before."

"Aslantu, you have changed."

Haider crossed his arms and said indifferently, "That's because you never understood me."

"You are the God of Light."

Haider sneered: "Yes, it is precisely because I am the God of Light that I can only do what the will of the world believes is righteous, so even my desire to avenge my sister is depraved. And those greedy and stupid The gods are tolerated by the world to do evil, why do you think they haven't fallen?"

"Their calling made them so."

"Nonsense. My elder brother Cifano never did that. So there is no good or evil in light and darkness, it's just that human beings presumptuously give it a position. Do you think this is fair?"

He didn't listen to Aldrich's answer after speaking, and started to leave.

Aldrich tried to pull his arm in desperation: "I just don't want you to become the public enemy of the gods."

Haider shook off his hand with disgust on his face: "It has nothing to do with you, stop being sentimental."

Hearing this, Aldridge stayed where he was, and only recovered after a while, looking at his hands and giving a wry smile.

The Divine Seal of Light flickered for a moment, and the color became dim.
