Black Dragon Code

"Of course not!"

The great sage Krusen shouted sharply at the Prophet Paipu who was kneeling on the ground.

In the center of the temple is a statue of Artuso made of corundum. The statue is majestic and profound. It is in the shape of a serious Veloster with a straight nose and thin lips. With sharp eyebrows, it looks like a mortal. feel. Artuso's left hand hangs down naturally, and his right hand is held on the hilt of the long sword. A dark red gemstone is inlaid on the sword grid.

Around the pauper, the prophets in black stood silently, their faces shrouded in wide hoods, their eyebrows lowered, and they stood motionless on both sides of the statue.

From Pepper's perspective, the stern expression on the great sage's face was no different from that of a stone statue. He was silent for a while, and said, "But, that's Egon, the destroyer of the world."

"Stupid judgment! Egon is not an ordinary thing. It appears to open a new cycle. It is a supreme existence worthy of your awe." The great sage stared into Pepper's eyes: "And the monster in your mouth is just a twisted Just another filthy Sea Clan beast."

"If it's not Egon." Paipu said, "then why didn't the great god-king lower down his divine power and crush these evil sea people to death?"

"Profanity!"

The scepter hit the ground heavily, making a rumbling sound: "Do you think God is our servant? God created us, allowed us to speak and walk, and gave us life and wisdom. Now, you actually put the incompetence and failure of mortals Blame the gods, are you blaming the gods?"

Pei Pu trembled suddenly when he heard it, realized his problem, and immediately bowed his head to repent.

"I know that the Golden King will not agree. Why should we obey the orders of the alien race?" the great sage said, then relaxed his tone, and poked his upper body forward: "I know, the powerful force of that beast has shaken you , you feel fear, don't you?"

Peipu didn't dare to answer, his forehead touched the ground.

"Fear is a good thing." The great sage said: "You are not the first, nor will you be the last. Mortal minds are based on barren flesh, so it is easy to be afraid of those powerful and fierce ones. The reason why the temple exists, we sublimate in the pursuit of Artuso's path. When the gods are in the body, there is no fear."

"So, you're not afraid?" Pepper asked in a tentative tone.

"Of course." The great sage nodded, "The path to seeking divine protection has never been cut off, but only the most pious and tenacious prophets can pass the test and receive the supreme divine power."

Paipu raised his head and opened his eyes wide. He has served in the temple for half his life, but he has never heard of such a thing. He asked tremblingly, "Can I accept the test of the god king?"

"You?" The great sage shook his head: "Why? Why do you want Atuso's blessing? You have shamed the prophet, lost the majesty of the temple, and the entire Golden City is despised."

Paipu lowered his head and did not speak. In fact, he was not as devout to the god king as he imagined. However, seeing the black dragon destroy the entire tribal army with his own eyes, Paipu's spiritual world was greatly impacted. He was afraid of such a monster, but Deep down in his heart, he longed for that kind of omnipotent power.

The great sage looked at him kneeling on the ground and said: "Ordinary people who are not tough enough may lose their lives in the test. Have you realized that you don't care about life and death?"

"I..." Pei Pu didn't speak, the yearning for power in his heart seemed to be magnified countless times in the words of the great sage, that kind of desire almost made him tremble all over, he paused, and said loudly: "I want to None of the prophets present are more determined than I."

"stand up."

The great sage of Crusien said that when the prophet got up, he looked at him meaningfully for a while, and seemed to be able to see through all the thoughts of the prophet, and then said: "Because of fear, so longing, mortals are like this. .”

The great sage suddenly raised his voice: "Are you willing to pursue the path of supremacy, even if you pay all the price, bloodshed, bones and ashes, are you willing to accept this test?"

"I do!"

"Stand back!" the great sage shouted.

These words were not addressed to him,

Peipu knew that because the great sage finished speaking, the black-robed prophets on both sides immediately retreated into the shadows on both sides of the temple, as if they no longer existed.

At the same time, a certain will came.

It was an indescribable experience. The turbulent force penetrated from the outside to the inside, squeezing the soul to the edge of the body. The next moment, invisible steel needles seemed to come from all directions, pierced through the skin, and turned inside the body. Stir, from brain to internal organs, from muscle to bone.

"This is what you want—strength." The great sage said quietly: "At the same time, it is also a test."

Paipu endured with the greatest will, tearing his chest with his hands, and there was a muffled sound in his throat, which was similar to that of drowning. A powerful force poured into his body, and the violent blood vessels turned from green to red, and finally burst. Paipu couldn't help it. howled.

The Prophet's skin began to peel off in pieces, revealing blue-black muscles. The Prophet was like a suffocated fish, his body shrank into a ball until his eyeball burst, and half of his face was covered with gray and muddy tissue.

—He has lost his voice.

"Pep failed."

The great sage stood up leaning on his royal staff, and looked indifferently at the unrecognizable human body on the ground: "A mortal whose physical body is not strong enough, and whose will is not strong enough, has not completed the supreme test, so he died. "

"..." There was a slight sigh from the temple, like the whisper of a ghost.

The great sage took two steps forward, put his hand on the pool of flesh and blood, and held it in a suspended state: "But you have proved your piety after all, and you have won my respect. Companion, you fell in pursuit of Artuso. On the road, I will complete this journey for you."

He withdrew his hand, stood in front of the fuzzy flesh and blood, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and surging holy power poured into his body from all directions.

After a long time, the great sage took a deep breath and opened his eyes again. His skin was as smooth as a baby's, with warm light flowing on it.

...

The horn sounded from far to near, drifting into the temple.

Today is the day to execute Garon Nephadisius of the Sea Clan. In the central square, the soldiers have put him in a cage. Unable to make a sound, hundreds of slaves chanted and pulled it into the air.

Krusen came outside the temple and watched the iron cage rise slowly.

When the horn rose higher and higher, everyone focused their attention on the central square. Some were nobles from the Golden City who were dressed luxuriously, and some were refugees from other tribes who were dressed in rags.

The Golden King is guarded in ranks in the army, wearing gray armor, tailored and embroidered with gold thread. The fur coat hangs from his broad shoulders. A crown made of pure gold, the top of the crown looks like intertwined flames.

In the cage, Garon Nephadisius tried to tear the chain around his neck with his claws, but it was in vain. He growled and cursed everything he saw before him.

"never mind."

Paipu's report was vivid in his mind, and the great sage Krusen thought for a long time before finally saying, "Notify the Golden King that the temple hopes to keep this beast alive."

"Now?"

The prophet next to him looked at the highly anticipated scene in the central square. Everyone was waiting for the moment when the pyre was lit. It would be very ugly to stop the Golden King at this time.

"It is more useful alive than dead," said the great sage.

"But, didn't you say that the monster outside is not Egon, so there is no need for us to succumb to it?"

"Did I say I would succumb to it?" Krusen turned his head to the side: "I just said to keep this beast, I didn't say to send it away."

"This..." The Prophet was puzzled.

"I will personally go to Mien to wipe out the aliens for Veloster." Cruzen said, "But if I fail, I don't want the Golden City to be wiped out."
