For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 75

   Chapter 75 Sealing the Temple

The door made of    oak has a brass color after being protected by metal spells.

   After hoes, wood axes or other tools that should not be used for killing were knocked on it outside the door, there was a thick echo of "bang bang", and the survivors who were hiding in the hall at the moment felt numb in their scalps.

Why is this so?

   Should I have chosen to leave in the first place?

  Wurter thought when he touched the magic medium against the gate to release the [Brass Gate].

  But...this is the Sealed Temple...Why did the Holy Spirit Church give up even the Sealed Temple?

  Thinking of this, Wurth, who found that his thoughts had crossed the line a bit, shook his head fiercely, and threw the thoughts that should not have been out of his mind.

  The Temple of Seal is an important part of the power of the Holy Spirit Church, or the most important part.

   Generally, each large diocese will have two or three branch halls, and there are about thirty branch halls distributed in every corner of the entire continent.

   The clergy of the Sealed Temple are not responsible for any mission, sacrament, sacrifice, baptism, etc. In fact, their existence is semi-secret, and the vast majority of the public are not even aware of the existence of the Sealed Temple.

The duty of the Sealed Temple is to ensure that the teachings of the church are not distorted - of course, this is only a public statement. In essence, the Sealed Temple is a violent institution rooted in the place where the church's authority shines, to be less "merciful" way to maintain the authority of the church.

   In short, they need to be responsible for imprisoning and interrogating the disseminators of various heretical theories, collecting intelligence in various places, sealing and managing sacred relics, and maintaining large teleportation circles.

  The lords of various places who hold secular power are not actually looking forward to seeing such an armed force that will not listen to their own dispatch. Therefore, except for cities like Baicheng City or Wanren City, which are centers of faith, most places of seal temples are only allowed to be built in the countryside or small towns. They are generally not too close to the core city, and of course not. too far.

   For example, the Seal Temple, which is responsible for various affairs of the northern parish of Heishui Province, is located in a small town called Hongquan Town, about 80 kilometers away from the city of thorns, the political and economic center of Heishui Province.

  It was built underground under the cover of the Holy Spirit Church in the center of the town.

   The status here should be as the uncrowned king of the entire northern Diocese of Blackwater Province. Any work the Holy Spirit Church wants to carry out in the northern part of Blackwater Province should not be bypassed here.

   As it should be…

   But what is the problem?

   A loud bang came from outside the door. This time, the things outside the door seemed to roll a very heavy big guy over and hit the door.

   At this moment, even the guarded gate showed slight cracks.

  Wheel? or something else?

   "Roy, try to activate the communication circle again, it may just be a temporary malfunction."

   Feeling the pressure gradually increasing, Wurth turned his head and said to the woman who was sitting in the corner with a hand and teeth bandaging the wound.

   "You started saying that two weeks ago. It doesn't take two weeks for the church to rebuild a communication circle."

  The woman named Roy said weakly, her lips were bloodless, then she clenched her teeth and tied the bandage, and after a few painful gasps, she continued:

"It's useless, the church has given up on this land. Our last chance to leave here was half a year ago. If you were willing at that time... Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. You might as well expect the church to send reinforcements here. I hope the few people who ran out can go to the city of thorns to find the sage of scorch marks and send troops to come to reinforce..."

   "Try to activate the communication circle again, this time directly use my authority to contact the Demon Burying Organ."

  Wurter ignored the analysis of the other party, but took a key with a seven-pointed star embossed from his neck and threw it to the woman named Roy.

   "With such a large-scale lunar monster active and such a large-scale spread of heresy beliefs, it is impossible for the Holy Spirit Church to leave it alone."

  Wurter said that he increased his magic power output, and the brass color on the oak gate became more intense.

   The sound of knocking outside the door also became much duller.

  Roy took the key and sighed.

   is different from Wurth, who was adopted by the church as a child and whose belief is rock-solid.

  Roy grew up in a slum, and he converted to the Holy Spirit Church just to make a living. Deep down, she has no faith in the Holy Spirit, but she is very clear about being "used" or "abandoned".

   In her opinion, there is no essential difference between the leaders at the top of the church and the gangsters in the lower city, except that they wear higher hats and look more elegant when using a knife and fork to eat.

   Those gangsters often talk about loyalty and dignity when they fool their subordinates to die, while the top leaders of the church will talk to you about faith and devotion.

   Don't listen to what the other party promises you, but look at what the other party is doing. This is Roy's standard for judging whether a person is reliable.

Therefore, in recent years, the Holy Spirit Church has continuously withdrawn the executors of the sealed temple, transferred the sealed sacred relics, stopped the regular maintenance of the defense circle, and transferred the detained prisoners... All these actions made her feel very uneasy .

And this unease reached its peak when the Holy See of Platinum City appointed Wurth as the head of the sealed temple - indeed, Wurth's belief in the Holy Spirit is the most devout here, and the rest may be combined. Not as pious as him. But as the person in charge of the temple, it is not possible to solve problems by piety, especially some problems that need to be solved by more realistic means...

   "The Holy See explained that the previous arrangements were mainly due to financial problems. They will prioritize the allocation of resources here to the Platinum Province. In the future, we need to rely on the church here to develop by ourselves."

  Wurter, who came back from the meeting in Platinum City, told her so.

   "Relying on the unsustainable church power in Blackwater Province to develop the Sealed Temple? Or let you be responsible?"

  Roy almost laughed out loud, this is obviously to leave a shelf to seal the temple for a fool who will not have any complaints to maintain it temporarily.

   As an abandoned child, he was completely abandoned by the church.

   That's what she thought at the time.

   But this time, even she misestimated the degree of "abandonment".

   More than a month ago, the visit of the reclaimer of the holy relic from the Eighth Religion rekindled her confidence, but the woman did not make any waves here afterwards.

   Then came the wave of the dead in the Thorns City Necropolis and the Eighth Holy Spirit Apparition, which had spread a lot more than two weeks ago.

  After Würth reported the information to the headquarters of the Sealed Temple in Platinum City, the entire communication circle was directly invalid the next day.

   And that's the situation now.

   Hungry and rotten lady worship order, bloated church.

Not long ago, those Moon Realm worshipers disguised themselves as traders and sold the bread that had received the "blessing" of Moon Realm to the residents of Hongquan Town under their noses. Transformed into a puffy walking corpse.

Wurth directed the few clerics in the Sealing Temple to rescue some of the surviving residents and evacuated here, but it also exposed the hidden underground temple. Now hundreds of thousands of people are covered with The walking corpses with the bright fungus were knocking on the door outside.

   All of them are trapped here.

   used the key to open the iron gate sealed with the triple magic barrier, and Roy walked into the musty dungeon.

   She didn't go to the communication circle as Wurth said, and wasted her time trying to contact the Demon Burial Agency or some other church department.

  She wants to live.

   Therefore, she came directly to the place where the heretic felons were imprisoned in the Sealed Temple.

  Since the current fighting power of the Sealed Temple is not enough, let's add the prisoners here.

  Although the prisoners here can't add any combat power, that's all.

Originally, most of the felons detained here were heretical mages or moon worshippers, but during this year, those prisoners were successively transferred to other sealed temples for detention. Up to now, the entire dungeon has Only one prisoner remained.

   This man claimed to be a prophet, the chosen human voice of a great being.

   And as early as a few days ago, he predicted what would happen today, but no one believed him at that time.

  Roy took out the key and knocked on the doorway engraved with various blockade runes:

"Your prophecy has been verified, and a crisis of wheat and corruption will come to us all. But why don't you just make it clear that the Puffy Cult is planning to summon the walking dead in this town? Do you have to say something like 'Wheat ears eat people, rot sprouts grow' and other riddles?"

   "I'm only responsible for relaying the prophecy, and how to interpret it is not my task. And prophecy is like this. Before the fact, you have countless directions to interpret, and people will always choose the direction they want to believe."

   After hearing Roy's words, a man's voice sounded, getting closer and closer to the prison door.

"And after the unexpected fact happened, they will think deeply about other possibilities of the prophecy. Then they will suddenly realize, and then they will start to regret, ah, I did not obey the arrangement of the prophecy, and I misunderstood the prophecy. Meaning...people will only complain that their understanding is wrong, not to blame the knower of the prophecy."

   A man with pale skin like a drowned man appeared at the observation port of the cell door. His cheeks were thin, and his jet-black hair was sticking to his forehead as if soaked in oil.

"...Forget it, I'm not here to discuss your riddle-like prophecy. There are probably thousands of bloated walking corpses outside the gate of the Sealed Temple. In their current form, it is estimated that they will break through the gate soon. Break in. Our combat power is seriously lacking now. I saw it when I was looking through your files before, you seem to be a Viper magic caster with an expert title, so you should be proficient in shapeshifting and metal. magic, right?"

  Roy said while observing the expression on the other party's face.

  Unfortunately, the expression on the other party's face did not change in the slightest.

  Roy continued:

   "I need you to help strengthen the gate together, and then try my best to reach the city of thorns and find the problem here and send reinforcements, is it okay?"

   In response, the man shook his head and said:

   "I don't see any benefit I can get from helping you guys."

   "Then you're not worried at all about those bloated corpses rushing in and eating you alive?"

  Roy asked strangely.

   "Don't worry, I'm not like you mortals. I won't die until my destiny is fulfilled."

   replied the man who called himself a prophet.

   It's this set again…

  Roy thought helplessly, it's too hard to communicate with this group of people who have been suffocated by belief, and it seems that he is the only one who is seriously trying to survive.

   "Okay, okay, if you have any conditions, please mention it."

   But he can't care about that anymore, Roy said directly.

   "I want freedom, of course you can't limit me, and I have to take one thing from your relic room."

   said the man.

   "The relic room? Almost all the things in there have been removed. I can't guarantee that the things you want are still there."

  Roy replied.

   "No, what I want is definitely still in there."

   The man said in a very positive tone.

   "That's alright... If it's really gone, I've reminded you before, so I'll open the door and let you out now."

  Roy said, and the other party nodded.

   She asked casually while opening the door:

   "You just said that you won't die until you fulfill your destiny, so what is your destiny?"

   The man replied solemnly:

   "Return my Lord whole."

   Sure enough, he is another person who is suffocated by belief...

   Roy thought, and then she asked:

   "So who is your Lord?"

   With a "click", the door of the cell opened, and the man bent down and walked out.

He was surprisingly tall, and his skeleton looked very large, but perhaps because of the time he spent in prison, he was skinny and skinny, and his limbs were as slender as bamboo poles. It seemed that a gust of wind could give him blow down.

   "I cannot speak his name, because he is hidden, and those who know his existence will be excommunicated if he speaks his name."

   Looking at the other party's serious expression, Roy smiled and said:

   "Is it so exaggerated? It feels like the king of nothingness doesn't have such a big air, right?"

   The man shook his head and said:

"That's because the Void Kings always want to expand their realm, so they are happy to let the world know of their existence. Our Lord is just the opposite. His mysteries are destined to be heard only by a few people. His Existence is destined to be known only to a few people...but it's okay to tell you what we call ourselves as followers of Him, because we usually gather in the form of dark-winged ominous birds on stormy nights, so we call ourselves... "

   "Crows."
