Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 171 The Strongest Organization
As the firelight shook, Derek and the others subconsciously looked over at the long, dark red table, and the first thing they noticed was the figure closest to them.
The figure wore simple linen robes, had long silver hair, and his features were impossible to make out, yet they inexplicably felt familiar to Colin, Lovia, and Dairik.
Moments later, lightning struck like lightning within their minds, suddenly illuminating vague memories:
”Angel of Fate, Urolius!”
The Silver City crowd’s pupils had just had their pupils dilated when the figure turned its head and looked at them.
A pair of indifferent eyes swirled around and took over their field of vision, a circle of transcendent mystery protruding.
As if in a trance, Derek saw an additional figure before him, a handsome, sunny, energetic man covered in pure white robes with short blonde hair.
As he appeared, the neighborhood became unusually bright, and the warmth felt like light, instantly filling every place.
It was as if Derek had seen the daytime of legend, and for a moment he forgot where he was and what he was going to do.
The man stepped forward, his illusory, blurred figure overlapping Derek.
Then Derek sat down at the long, dark red table, occupying one of the high-backed chairs.
He transformed into the handsome, sunny man from earlier, who was participating in a hidden party.
At the same time, the Silver City Chief Colin, who had gray hair and a face with many old scars, encountered an equally vague and equally illusory figure.
The figure was seven or eight meters tall, wearing silver full body armor, and at the position of his eyes was a glow that looked like morning sunlight or dusk.
He raised the longsword in his hand so that it rested like a scepter in front of Colin Iliad’s forehead.
Colin “The Demon Hunter” struggled for a moment and was quickly calmed by the orange-red glow that enveloped him.
He and the figure of the giant across from him then merged into one and took a step away, walking over to the long, dark red table and taking the second seat on the right.
Lovia “The Shepherd” encountered a man dressed in black robes, with shoulder-length dark black curly hair and eyes that seemed to be covered in shadows, his exact features were not quite clear enough to see, but the silver threads, intricate patterns, and ornate accessories of his clothing were reflected directly into Lovia’s mind.
Lovia shuddered and couldn’t help but lower her head, allowing herself to be wrapped in the layers of false black feathers that opened up behind the other woman’s back.
She turned into the man and walked to the topmost part of the long dark red table.
There were two intricately patterned high-backed chairs placed there, and Lovia chose the one on the left.
The remaining members of the Silver City Exploration Squad suffered similarly, only facing different figures.
After “they” found seats on both sides of the long dark red table, the void on the topmost vacant high-backed chair deepened a little, outlining a female figure that seemed to be shrouded in mist.
Immediately afterward, a voice that seemed to have traveled from an ancient era echoed in the ears of the “partygoers”:
”…… We are redeeming ourselves and preserving the balance of this world ……”
”…… Division and deviation is without a doubt the most basic order ……”
”…… This is also k’s idea ……”
”…… It’s undeniable that we all have our dark thoughts and cravings, but it’s perfectly normal ……”
”…… Death and blood will be inevitable, we take the name ‘Redemption Rose’ ……”
Above the gray mist, Klein listened with extreme concentration, impatient for the voice to say more.
However, both the image and the voice began to loop, as if they had been frozen for only a few seconds.
Is this the scene when the “Redemption Rose” was established? Previously, the “Red Angel” evil spirit said that this is a group of tainted angels to establish an extremely secret organization, now it seems that it is not so …… At that time, the person who said this sentence, should not be Medici, but Sauron, one of the Einhorn, the K’s right! “Redeeming Rose” is not really that well known …… Klein mumbled a few words in his heart, and returned his gaze to the people of Silver City, who were repeating the actions of approaching, sitting down, listening, and moving away like puppets.
–When the torches around the hall lit up one after another, Klein had already discovered the abnormality with the help of his “true vision”.
He saw the murals on the wall come to life, expanding rapidly and merging with the hall, making the long tables, chairs and floor tiles that had been cold for thousands of years warm again, and letting the figures that had once met here in close quarters cross the barrier of time, “resurrecting” themselves in a fixed position, and letting some of the words from the ancient times be passed on to the present.
Many of these figures were familiar to Klein.
Among them, the first one he saw was also the “Angel of Destiny” Urolius.
This King of Angels, who still belonged to the “Redemption Rose”, was the most spiritual of all the illusory figures.
Combined with the cyclic appearance of the scene, Klein initially suspected that the one who painted the frescoes and left the traces was the “Tail Swallower” Urolius.
”In the ruins of the previous temple, there are murals left behind by K, and somewhere in the ruins of the Divine War, there are murals left behind by K. …… Inside the ‘Court of the Giants’, this similar mural, similar power, if it’s not K, I don’t believe it! …… How much does this King of Angels like murals, wherever he goes he paints …… “Klein couldn’t help but spit out Urolius in his heart.
The second figure he noticed was sitting next to the “Angel of Fate” Urolius, wearing black armor splashed with blood, with a head of red hair as bright as fire, young and handsome.
The reason why this figure attracted Kraven’s attention was because he had seen it in his dreams.
In addition, it was the most arrogant of all the figures, not only pressing back on the back of the chair, but also resting its feet on the long dark red table, not caring that it was surrounded by people of the same high status.
”Red Angel”, Medici!
These were the kings of the angels involved in the secret gathering? Who else is there …… In a flash of thought, Klein decided to first save the Silver City crowd from the cycle of destiny that would not stop.
He had plenty of experience in this area.
”Well, the medium of the cycle is the hall itself, but there’s no need to try and destroy it, as long as we can briefly break the cycle of destiny, the twilight outside will penetrate and dispel the anomalies …… They belong to the Kingdom of the Gods itself, and in terms of bits and pieces, they are only higher than the power of the legacy of Uroelus …… “Klein observed for a few seconds and quickly had a judgment.
He threw a gold coin to do a divination, and immediately spread his spirit to the crimson star representing the “sun”.
Derek Berg’s spirit then broke through the cycle of fate, creating an invisible gap.
The reddish-orange twilight light outside the palace flooded in through the high windows and enveloped the entire hall.
Not waiting for the little “sun” to figure out its own situation, Klein, who was afraid of being locked up by the “real Creator”, did not hesitate to let him return to the real world.
Derek snapped out of his trance and realized that he was somehow sitting on the side of the long, dark red table.
He raised his head in a slight daze and saw the Chief, Elder Lovia, Heim, Antilna, and others, and realized that a certain amount of confusion more or less lingered on their faces.
Recalling what he had just experienced, Derek was alerted and spoke with deliberation:
”The Cycle of Fate ……”
”Indeed.” Colin Iliad, who had had a similar experience, nodded gently and stood up.
He looked around the room, letting his eyes fall on the closest and largest mural.
The mural depicted the very same hall, with the same stone columns and torches, the same layout of long dark red tables, elaborate high-backed chairs and objects.
And on those high-backed chairs sat eleven figures, two at the top, five on the left, and four on the right.
The gazes of the Silver City crowd followed the chief and looked over, taking in the corresponding contents.
The five figures on the left were, in order, a soft silver-haired man, a red-haired man sitting in an arrogant posture, an old man covered in a hood that only revealed his mouth, wrinkles, and beard, a majestic middle-aged male dressed in black armor, and a handsome man sheathed in white robes;
On the right four lanes are mummies wrapped in a single strap, middle-aged and elderly men wearing deep black robes with features that resemble people from the southern continent, giants covered in silver full-body armor, and voluptuous, supple, dignified and holy ladies;
The top two high-backed chairs were occupied by a man with black curly hair and shadowed eyes and a woman shrouded in mist.
At this point, one of the Guardians raised his right hand and pointed to the sunny, handsome white-robed man, saying:
”His figure is made up of a cloud of mysterious symbols, which are symbolized by:
”Pure White Angel, Ossekus ……”
Before this guardian could speak, he suddenly let out a miserable scream, and stream after stream of golden flames shot out from within his body.
He instantly turned into a charred corpse, seemingly turning into ashes at the slightest touch, making it too late for Colin “Demon Hunter” and Lovia “Shepherd” to save him.
”Don’t try to distinguish those symbols, they themselves contain extremely powerful force.” Colin reminded in a deep voice.
And Klein above the gray mist was thinking of something else:
”‘Pure White Angel’ Osekus, is this the true name of the ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’?”
”If it weren’t for the power of the ‘Giant’s Royal Court’ itself to isolate it, merely pronouncing that name in the Giant’s language would draw stares and meet divine wrath ……”
In the midst of his thoughts, Colin “The Demon Hunter” thrust both of his swords in front of him, creating an invisible barrier.
Then, this Silver City chief took the place of the crowd, distinguishing the symbols and logos that made up those figures.
Starting with the last one on the left, he read it out slowly but firmly:
”Angel of Destiny, Urolius ……
”Angel of War, Medici ……
”Angel of Wisdom, Herabogen ……”
Here, Colin Iliad, whose invisible barrier was constantly shaking, paused, for this name was not unfamiliar to the people of Silver City:
It was the real name of the “Dragon of Wisdom”!
Did the Dragon of Wisdom become the Angel of Wisdom beside the Lord? While similar questions arose in everyone’s mind, Kraven realized something strange:
Silver City’s history records the name of Hieraburgon, but their daily use of the language of the giants, the language that can mobilize the surrounding natural forces.
That is to say, in the past two to three thousand years, Silver City, someone must have read and written “Hrabergen”, but the “God of Knowledge and Wisdom” did not respond, the Church of Knowledge is still unable to find the abandoned land.
At this point, Colin Iliad controlled his emotions and continued to read:
”Angel of the Winds, Leandro ……
”Angel of Pure White, Ossekus ……
”Angel of Darkness, Sasriel ……
”Goddess of Night, Amanisis ……
”God of War, Bardhere ……
”Mother Goddess of the Earth, Omibella ……
”God of the Dead, Salinger ……
”God of Spirits, Tolzner ……”
…… Klein was somewhat stunned to hear this, even though he had expected it:
The “Redemption Rose” was once so powerful that it was terrifying!
Of the seven gods of today, six of them are its members, in addition to the God of Death, the God of Spirits and the three king of angels.
This made Klein recall the words that the “Red Angel” Evil Spirit had once said:
”The ‘Redemption Rose’ has a close relationship with the birth of the ‘True Creator’, and some guys you can never imagine were once members of the ‘Redemption Rose’. ‘ members, only later broke away from this organization ……”
