The time has finally come.

The many priests of the Sea God Temple had been waiting in the outer hall of the sacrificial place early on.

Although there were many people in the hall, it was very quiet.

The atmosphere was dull, almost depressing.

Everyone was silent, with a bit of seriousness on their faces.

Today is the day when the high priest leaves the customs.

None of the priests present knew how to tell the high priest that his disciple, the young priest of the Sea God Temple, had died unexpectedly during his retreat.

No one knew how the high priest would behave after learning of this.

The high priest of Itit was never angry.

At any time, his posture is calm.

Like a god, it does not stain the slightest dust in the world.

His words and deeds are sacred and noble, and no one dares to offend.

In the outer hall of the sacrificial place, in front of the six columns supporting the high roof, many priests stood on both sides.

The bright sunlight shines in through the dome of the sky, reflecting the multicolored glass on the dome, refracting colorful brilliance.

When the sun was shining brightly, the gold plating on the walls and columns of the outer hall of the sacrificial hall became more and more glittering, making the entire hall present an ultimate golden brilliance.

Brilliant like the radiance of a god.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy friction, the light blue Tianhe Stone Gate with golden patterns slowly opened.

The high priest Itit walked out slowly from the open stone door.

The gorgeous gold-threaded robe with a white background and blue border spread out behind him, and tiny light spots could be seen jumping in the black hair that was like the night.

He walked out of the stone gate without any haste.

Handsome as a sculpture, the face is careless and unruffled.

When the deep sea-blue eyes of the high priest swept over everyone, everyone lowered their heads involuntarily, and some people were even more heartbroken.

That glance made an old priest who was about to speak up subconsciously shut up.

He didn't speak, but he was quite uneasy in his heart.

The high priest's face was calm, but he could clearly see a frightening light shining from the depths of the other's seemingly calm eyes, like a seemingly calm sea, but there was a terrifying storm raging deep in the bottom of the sea that ordinary people could not see.

The old priest suddenly felt extremely nervous.

He was the one who watched Yitit become the high priest with his own eyes.

For the first time in so many years, he saw such a terrifying look in the high priest's eyes.

At this time, he already vaguely understood that the high priest might have known about the young priest.

If so...

Thinking of this, the old priest was suddenly startled.

Having vaguely guessed something, he suddenly looked up.

Is it—

The high priest who walked out of the stone gate of the sacrificial place did not stop.

Under the gaze of everyone, he continued to walk forward.

He passed the priests, and walked to the door of the hall under everyone's astonished eyes.

At the entrance of the golden hall, a prince with strange eyes stood there.

A pitch-black metal mask covered half of his handsome face, and his golden hair reflected the bright sunlight and the gold in the hall.

He looked at the high priest who was walking towards him, his face was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he could not see any emotion.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, High Priest Itit stood still in front of Prince Sardis.

His deep eyes fell on Sardis.

He opened his lips, and an ethereal and extremely magnetic voice sounded in the hall.

He said: "Prince Sardis, do you want to be the king of Portoyas?"

In one sentence, the hearts of all the people present jumped heavily.

Hearing this sentence, Sardis, who was looking at Sardis walking towards him with cold eyes, flickered slightly.

The reason why he came to the Sea God Temple was because Faer, who was following him at the moment, told him that the high priest was going to give him a relic left by Mia.

He originally thought that he was going to the Young Sacrifice, but unexpectedly, Faer brought him here.

Sardis squinted at Faer behind him, and the stern black-haired attendant lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.

He frowned, thinking secretly in his heart why the high priest would suddenly say such things to him.

Although he has hardly had any dealings with the high priest, it is well known that the high priest never touches the dust.

While thinking in his heart, he raised his head and looked at High Priest Itit.

This glance made his eyes pause.

He saw the eyes of High Priest Itit staring at him, which was completely different from the past. His eyes were burning, sharp and menacing, and when he was watching him, he showed an obvious provocative color.

Dare, or dare not?

The high priest's frightening eyes were asking him this question.

The corners of Sardis' lips raised a cold arc, and his thin lips were like the edge of a sword.

He said, "Yes."

He said, I think so.

At this moment, the golden hall was eerily quiet.

Because everyone knows what that means.

——The high priest of Itit, who has never been contaminated by the world, stepped down from the world by himself——

………………

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, what happened in the sacrificial place that day could not be concealed at all, and spread privately among the nobles and ministers at an astonishing speed.

In the sacrificial place, the high priest communicated with the gods and listened to the voices of the gods.

And the first thing the high priest did after leaving customs was to ask Prince Sardis such a sentence.

In this way, everyone didn't show any clues on the surface, but they couldn't help thinking about it in their hearts.

Did the high priest receive any instructions from the gods?

……

Even if that is not the will of the gods, but just the behavior of the high priest himself.

But in this way, does it mean that the power of the Sea God Temple will fall to...

Just when many aristocratic ministers were still discussing privately because of this matter, another event that shocked the government and the public happened.

The third prince Sardis was assassinated again and was seriously injured in this assassination.

It is said that the murderer escaped again and soon disappeared without a trace, so the main messenger behind the scenes is still not found.

However, just because they couldn't find it, everyone guessed the so-called mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, the High Priest had spoken those words to Prince Sardis a few days ago.

And everyone knew that the only person affected by this incident was the one above.

I'm afraid it's the various rumors these days and the fluctuating hearts that made that person unable to restrain himself.

Soon, Prince Sardis, who was seriously injured, said, "I would rather die on the battlefield than die aggrieved in this way." Regardless of his injuries, he resolutely left the king's city and set foot on his way home. The road of the northern city.

That sentence made many noble ministers feel embarrassed.

The matter quickly spread in the royal city, so the people also knew about it.

Their third prince has stuck to the frontier for several years, fighting bloody battles to protect the safety of the country. Unexpectedly, after returning to the royal city, not only did he not get the reward he deserved, but instead he was feared by others because of his brilliant military exploits and was assassinated again and again. .

As for the mastermind behind the assassination of him...then people have to think about it and feel terrified.

It seems that the "that person" above may not be the same as the rumors.

After all, he couldn't even tolerate his younger brother who guarded the frontier for him, so he really wasn't as gentle and kind as the rumors said.

Many noble ministers had their own thoughts, but no one noticed that General Antiste, the commander of the Knights of the Shield, had returned to the royal city from the northern border.

Not to mention the fact that General Antiste was summoned into the palace by King David for a private talk.

In the king's inner room, King David sat on a stone seat.

He fixedly stared at Itit, with a tough face, which seemed not angry but mighty.

"Why do such a thing, Itit."

he asked, his voice low.

"This assassination, you actually taught Sardis to do it, didn't you?"

He stared deeply at Yitit with awe-inspiring eyes.

"You... no, are you doing this to destroy Portoyas?"
