Chapter 1279: Icon Hall
The sacred light of Talos not only affects the sun-burning tower of the secular kingdom, but its light also penetrates the chaotic vortex in the center of the world of Kolo, appearing in the eyes of the Sanctuary.
Over the past few days, the sanctuary has been shrouded in a tense and tense atmosphere. The continuous weakening of the Asoman's light has approached the final limit. The order shield covering the floating continent is so thin that it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. The dark chaotic power of endless nothingness is constantly surging beyond the barrier, as if the sea is hanging over, ready to pour the entire continent with such a horrible scene, which is heavily pressed against the hearts of every Sanctuary. This once glorious pride The race is now being dominated by frustrated desperation.
Suddenly, there was a glare from the faint chaos. The glare shattered the boundary between space and time, as if the sky was divided into two to illuminate the space outside the barrier. This scene makes everyone In spite of the horror, there is no hope of no reason.
In the eyes of the sacred people of the goddess of creation, this! No! Wrong! The light is almost a miracle. It seems to indicate the end of the dark moment. Although the light gradually dissipates after ten minutes, it has already inspired Many people on this continent.
However, most of the people who are encouraged are ordinary people. The real upper managers are still not optimistic.
Pope August VII summoned all the cardinals and inner scholars in the white hall of the iconic palace. Under the eternal glory of the white hall, these Kolo worlds are the most wise and authoritative theology and knowledge. The family discussed the influence of the previous light, and August VII sat on the high throne of the pope, listening to the report of one of the cardinals.
"Your Majesty, we have determined that the light comes from the continent of Ansu, but we cannot determine the specific location. The chaotic fog envelopes the trajectory of each continent. Now we can't observe any specific land. We can only approximate the world model. Estimating the current position of other continents, but as chaos becomes more and more rampant, the accuracy of this position calculation is also decreasing."
The cardinalist who spoke was surrounded by a group of exquisite models carved out of magical gems that restored the details of the five floating continents of the Colo world and dozens of larger floating islands with amazing craftsmanship. Running slowly in the air, based on some ancient data, the approximate location of each land in the sea of Carnos is now simulated.
However, due to the influence of chaotic tides, the accuracy of this model is not very high.
"Ansu mainland... very good," August VII smashed the forehead. "Asuman's revelation was once again confirmed. The continent has the miracle of the goddess of creation."
“The light column caused a lot of sensation among the civilians and the lower priests,” another bishop stood up. “The good news is that our morale is recovering. The explanation about the light column has been released, and now it is recognized as inspiring. Miracles. But the bad news is: after the light column disappears, everything returns to normal. The light of Asoman is still weakening, and the barrier over the sanctuary has not been strengthened. The effectiveness of this miracle may decrease with time. There is no new miracle happening."
"That radiance is only a sign, it is the goddess in order to let us persist in this dark age, from the Kingdom of God, we should fight in the dark to respond to the will of the goddess," August Slow Slowly said, "Sanctuary people never give up hope, and this has been the case throughout the ages."
Another bishop stood up: "The output power of Mount Asoman has dropped by 1% again. Its deceleration rate has stabilized. It is estimated that there will be no sudden fluctuations. However, according to this trend, there will be at most In half a month, we will completely lose the barrier. At that time, the sanctuary will fall into the darkness like the vulgar world. We will fight the chaotic blood on this sacred land and will smear the holy land."
"Then we will fight with them, just like the secular kingdoms," another bishop said loudly. "The secular kingdom can be brave, and the Sanctuary certainly does not retreat. We have been urgently in the mainland." The tower of the Fire Tower and the Sunburn Tower were built, and with the remnants of Asuman, these towers allowed us to survive this chaotic tide."
"The key is that if Azuman can't recover in the next century, we can't use this tide. It's useless. I can't throw the burden to my grandchildren. I still insist on repairing Asoman as the top priority. I have a plan... ”
The bishops once again fell into controversy on this topic. All kinds of immature or unconventional schemes were taken out, and then they were vetoed by themselves. The bachelor of the inner courts also argued in such disputes, and they were red-faced against the bishops. Each of them is a sincere and good person to do their best for the future of this world and the safety of the sanctuary. However, with the wisdom of mortals, it is difficult to solve the ultimate problem.
Mount Asoman.
In the second half of the meeting, there was almost no achievement. August VII had to stop and let everyone stop the debate. After the bishops and scholars left the pure white hall, the pope stood up tiredly, and the body that had no longer youthed made a joint movement. He felt that the crown on his head was heavy and he wanted to break his neck. The robes are also tied like hands and feet.
The near-servant on the side immediately stepped forward. The middle-aged man who followed August VII for 30 years saw a lot of tiredness from the face of the pope. He helped the latter take off the heavy golden crown and took over the handle. Scepter: "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace to rest?"
"No," the Pope waved his hand. "Let's go to the icon hall."
The apprentice blinked, as if this answer was a bit unexpected, but the habit of growing up for many years still made him swallow and questioned, just nodded slightly.
The iconic hall can be heard from the name and it has a special meaning in the palace of the icon. This hall is almost the most magnificent space in the iconic palace, and the most sacred place. From the pure white hall, you need to cross three corridors, two inner courtyards and two long halls to reach its entrance. The pope was no longer young, and he was even more reluctant to resort to convenient magic when he went to the sanctuary, so he walked an hour before he came to the iconic hall.
Near the waiter pushed the golden red door, the pope sorted out his clothes and walked into the hall.
The hall is wide and wide, without any tables and chairs. Only two rows of tall columns are arranged in parallel, extending from the hall to the other end. The bright light sprinkles from a series of circular hollows above the hall, making the space It seems to float a layer of white light.
On both sides of the hall, behind the two rows of cylinders, the huge statues of life are sitting quietly, majestic and sacred.
August VII walked along the central axis of the hall, bathed in the gaze of the two rows of icons, as if to accept the review of the king of the ancient kings, full of piety, and distracted.
This is the iconic hall, whose name comes from the sacred statues in the hall, and even the name of the entire iconic palace is named.
No one knows who created these statues, and even the founders of the troupe have not left a single word. This room existed long before the establishment of the troupe. Twenty-one icons seem to come from the era before mortals. The entire iconic iconic palace is nothing more than an architectural shell that was expanded on the basis of the original "image hall". Time flies, the Pope has changed generations and generations, and the secular kingdom has changed one after another. Only the mysterious giant statue in this iconic hall has never changed.
These giant elephants will be up to ten meters if they stand up, but they are far from their most eye-catching places. What is truly amazing and even awe is the lifelike appearance of these giants: although they are shaped by stones, they are like real people. Generally, the eyebrows are clear and must be completed. It is like a group of really living rock giants sitting here. They are not like sculptures, but they are like living things that are sleeping.
This makes everyone who first enters the icon hall shudder, and even August VII remembers the fear and uneasiness he felt when he first entered the place.
But that's all gone. Now that he has become a pope, stepping into the iconic hall and accepting the gaze of every colossus is no longer a daunting challenge, but a baptism of the soul and heart.
The Pope went all the way to the end of the hall and was about to come to the icon known as the "King of Kings". However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped and stared at the direction he was coming.
The two rows of colossus were as silent as ever, with cold expressions on the cold rock faces, and their eyes looking straight at the center of the hall without any change.
But August VII has a feeling of creepy hair coming out of his heart.
He shook his head and had not felt this feeling for many years. He was surprised why he was so rude.
At that moment, he felt that he was watching the ancient kings who were no longer glory, but the terrible things that could not be named. The empty eyes fell on him, causing him to suddenly fall into the abyss. illusion.
The old pope fixed his mind and took the strange illusion out of his mind. He turned and leaned down in front of the icon of the King of Kings.
"The ancient prison officers, please show me clearly..."
The low voice of the old pope echoed in front of the icon of the King of Kings.
Then the sound came to an abrupt end. (To be continued.)
The first thousand two hundred and seventy-nine iconic icon hall:
