Now the sun was almost completely gone, coupled with the low-lying terrain of Leyton surrounded by mountains, it was getting dark fast here. When they entered the town, the evening lights were lit. The magnificent lavender light curtain of the sky was more spectacular in the fading night but there were not many people came to the streets to watch the spectacular night scene. Hao Ren walked into the town behind the serious man in the black robe and all he saw was the doors were all closed. It was supposed to be a lively and bustling night market but he could not even see a booth. The most commonly seen on the street were only the heavily armed town guards. Part of them was the National Knights, who were wearing standard armors or robes, with a blue Kingdom emblem on their chest; another part of them was the Knights of the Disciples of Glory, who were wearing black or white dustcoat outside the clothes. And in addition to the two professional soldiers, there were also some messily armed mercenaries in the streets. Although they were less armed the professional soldiers, it could be seen that they were all veterans. Probably they were called up by the Knights to supplement their defenses after the attack.
The whole town was haunted by such depressing atmosphere. It seemed that the attack from afternoon to evening had left everyone here in the taut state. Hao Ren also saw the dazed look on the faces of some young soldiers. It seemed that these professional soldiers had also been stunned by the unexpected weird monsters.
The tall and thin man who was leading the way hardly say a word all the way. He just silently took them through the depressing streets. Hao Ren also took the opportunity to observe this man to make a comparison with some of the knowledge that he had just learned in these two days.
The man in a black robe had a round, triangular and lightning tattoo on his back, so this should be a church mage. The clergy of the Disciples of Glory of this world was very special. While they were in the priesthood, they also followed the occupation classification of our world, which were divided into mages, warriors, alchemists, hunters and many other occupations, and including all races, which were quite all-inclusive. The priesthood was just another identity outside their respective professions. The priest of the Disciples of Glory also used 'divine skill' and their own professional power to fight. A church warrior, in addition to his own fighting ability, must also know the priest's blessing skill. Similarly, a church mage also needed to practice the power of prayer in addition to magic. Although no one knew how they got the extra 'God power', every priest of the Disciples of Glory was indeed powerful than the average professionals.
They interpreted this special power as the 'proof of Goddess Blessings', which most people in this world believed firmly.
Hao Ren was certainly doubtful about this. He knew what a real God was. It was a group of creatures that were beyond comprehension and they were knowledgeable. Raven 12345 that unreliable lady always focused on the balance of the universe. Therefore, he did not think that the inefficient 'Goddess' of the Plane of Dreams was the true God. He believed that there had been a strong creature in this world, but most probably that powerful creature was not quite the same as what the Disciples of Glory described.
In short, the clergy of the Disciples of Glory was a group of people with special powers, and all their clergy were divided into two types: the White Robe and the Black Robe.
The Black Robes were professional combatants. They fought with a firm belief in the goddess, and they only focused on their own beliefs. They belonged to 'force'. And the White Robes were responsible for everything else, such as missionary, medical, research, administration and so on. They belonged to 'wisdom'. At the same time, the pope himself must be a White Robe. This was enshrined in the sacred writings of the Disciples of Glory: the power must be under rational control to ensure balance. Therefore, the spiritual leader and the commanding class of the church could only be the White Robes.
Of course, it did not mean that all the White Robes are civilian staff, or that they did not fight. On the contrary, not only were the White Robes often presented on the battlefield, but the vast majority of the white-robed priests were extremely powerful, except the thorough clerical workers. It was just that their duty was to focus more on strategy and support, not to fight like black-robbed priests. Knights and mages in white robes could also be seen on the streets, and they were the community commanders or staff officers in the defense force.
The firm belief in the goddess, the worship of the Holy Scriptures, the deep fear of the legends of the end of the world, together with the wise reign of the popes, all of these ensured that no one had ever overstepped the system yet.
In addition to these superficial divisions, there were many exquisite divisions within the Disciples of Glory. They influenced the whole world with a complex and efficient multi-ethnic, multidisciplinary partnership. However, these were not the Hao Ren today could understand thoroughly.
Perhaps the black-robed priests were not easy to get along with. The man leading the way still kept a straight face and did not say a word. Nangong Wuyue was bored. She could not help but bring up the unpleasant topic, "Hmm... Was the attack in the afternoon serious?"
The man was silent for a while, and then replied with the carved stone-like look on his face, "Local defense, no comment."
Nangong Wuyue felt snubbed, and Becky got a little displeasure and said, "We are bringing the important information of rock giants. We also witnessed them separated from the cliff. This information worth at least 20 Shielders. How come we can't ask a little bit of trivial matter?
The black-robed priest was silent again and replied, "Local defense, no comment."
This was still a repetition machine.
Vivian stopped Becky who wanted to keep asking. She felt that it was not the time to fuss about such a thing. And now they had come to the depths of the town, and a small but ornate spire chapel appeared at the end of the road.
In front of the chapel was a semicircle square with red pebbles. A circle of magical light balls floated around the square, which made here as bright as day. The black-robed church knights guarded the gates of the church tightly while several middle-aged monks in white robes surrounded a purple-red crystal in the middle of the square, praying silently.
The central tower of the spire church was emitting a mysterious glow. Layers of complex runes emerged from the ancient and luxurious carved stone bricks, circling the square tower and slowly rising, and moved in circles repeatedly. A lavender bright beam gathered up at the end of the surging scripture, rushed into the unfathomable night sky, then dispersed around the town. This was the defensive enchantment of Leyton town, the miracle force that relied on this church, which was completely supported by the 'divine power'.
"The collection of energy sample is completed." The voice of Mobile Data Terminal almost appeared in Hap Ren's mind simultaneously. "Preliminary analysis... No analytical value, it's a simple repulsion wall, can counteract external physical shocks of a certain speed, energy flow mode is very normal, the high-class mysterious attributes associated with the symbolic power of the true God is not found."
"The so-called divine power of the Disciples of Glory is just a special kind of magic indeed," Hao Ren muttered. The black-robed priest who led the way explained to the person in charge of the square, then took them to the church. He finally got a little bit more words this time, "The rector, His Excellency Golton is discussing the important task with the guest, but he agrees to meet you first. Please pay attention to etiquette, His Excellency Golton is a venerable elder."
The church was brightly lit, but there were no people in the long hall of prayer and worship, only the black-robed priests on duty. They reached a special room in the depths of the church from a small corridor behind the long hall. The black-robed priest stood at the door and said, "Please."
Becky nervously pushed the door and entered the room. The scene in the room was in sight.
Surprisingly, it looked pretty simple. The office of the rector of the entire Beinz was just a normal study without a decoration. The room was spacious, but almost all the walls were occupied by heavy stacks of files. There was no carpet on the ground with plain stone bricks. There was a large wooden table in the middle of the room. An old man and someone who looked like a young woman judging from her back were talking across the table.
The rector, Golton was a sixty or seventy-year-old man with sparse hair, long beard, wrinkled face and short stature. He sat down at the back of his desk, hunched over his arms, and kept his hands in the sleeve as if it was cold. The rector took his priests to inspect the vicinity of the Beinz Blood Lake all year round, absorbing too much 'bad air', that made him looked unhealthy, but people who knew the situation would not despise the seemingly slow old man. His body might have begun to decay, but his spirit was still strong, as long as the pair of wise eyes was not closed, he was still a mighty lion, and the gift of God would work with his thoughts.
The one facing Golton was a woman wearing women's special armor. As she was not facing them, they could only see from her back that she had a long chestnut hair, and the pale complexion of her neck and wrist showed that she should still be young.
When Becky opened the door, Golton was talking to the female soldier, "Your Excellency Ophra, the situation is not clear, there is no evidence that this series of changes are linked, and there is no evidence that the goddess test will be carried out in this form, we should first appease the people, and then with pious... Oh, looks like our guests are here."
The old man stood up and smiled at Hao Ren.
