After Clara got out of the car, she was surprised to find that she was standing in front of a temple.
Not to mention she is a pagan, not everyone is qualified to enter the temple even if she is a believer in Pisiya.
The little maid didn't know what medicine Herodotus was selling in his gourd.
Recently, there have been many rumors in the city of Dorothy that Herodotus has gone crazy, because his behavior is getting more and more weird, making people unable to figure it out.
Perhaps only Clara knew that Herodotus was not crazy, because his puzzling actions were actually just following the experimental results.
The little maid took a deep breath and followed an unusually tall man, whose whole body was covered in black armor, into the temple.
"welcome."
Herodotus was shrouded in darkness, and Clara could only hear his voice.
"Welcome to the Great Temple of Alberto. While there is still some time, I will show you around this place first."
The high priest said as he lit a torch.
I took my little maid to visit the second oldest temple of Silver Moon Church.
He first led Clara to a stone wall on the left, raised the torch a little higher, and let the little maid see a wall carving.
The wall carving shows a man collecting herbs in the mountains.
"This is the high priest Chaokas," Herodotus said, "the greatest high priest in the history of the church. He lived more than four thousand years ago from us, and some books say it was five thousand years ago. This part of the content There was some confusion... Mainly because it had been too long and no one knew exactly what year he was born.
"People only know that he is a herbalist. His medical skills are quite good, but they are not good enough for everyone to worship him. He may just be a little better than ordinary herbalists."
Herodotus moved the torch further back, and in the second mural, a man prostrated himself under a carriage made of stars, and on top was a woman with a blurred face.
"Pissia, also known as the Silver Moon Goddess to the world, appeared in front of Caokas, making the latter her first believer, and Caokas also vowed to live as long as possible on land. Spread more of her grace.
The torch came to the third wall carving.
"Does it look familiar? The goddess gave Caokas his own magical power, so that Caokas can perform miracles as much as he wants. His medical skills have greatly improved. He can save anyone who is still breathing, and his reputation is getting more and more famous. , spread throughout the entire Western Territory, and even the princes in the south have heard of his name..."
Although the empty temple made Clara a little nervous, her attention was still attracted by the ancient and mysterious carvings on the walls.
Coupled with a high priest personally telling the history of thousands of years ago, the little maid could not help but be immersed in it and listened to the legendary life of the high priest Caokas.
By the time she came to her senses, she had walked around and was back in front of the temple gate.
Then she saw another fire.
At first Clara thought it was a burning candle or something, but soon she realized that the fire was not in front of her, but was lighting up from far away.
The Great Temple of Alberto is built on a hillside, almost the highest point in the city. Standing on the stone steps in front of the temple, you can see half of the town.
The little maid then looked at Herodotus aside, but the latter didn't seem to care much about the fire in the city. He just continued, "Did the story of the high priest Chaokas remind you of anything?"
"Hmm, are you trying to say that the experience of High Priest Caokas is very similar to that of the Prophet Merlin?"
"That's right." Herodotus nodded with satisfaction, "The first time I heard what Merlin did in Rock Snow City, I thought of the High Priest Caokas. The more I heard about his deeds, the more I thought of him. The more similar they feel. It's as if they were carved from the same mold.
"My teacher, High Priest Reeves, is obsessed with power. Although several other high priests are not as exaggerated as him, they are also busy fighting for power most of the time, including High Priest Martina. .
"Don't get me wrong, I
I don’t dislike High Priest Martina. On the contrary, she is my favorite among the other high priests, but she cannot save the Silver Moon Church.
“Secular power cannot win a war between gods,” Herodotus said. “People in the church seem to have forgotten where our faith comes from.
"Divine power is the key to all of this. Other things are not important at all, whether it is power, wealth, or the number of believers... High Priest Caokas established the Silver Moon Church from scratch.
"If I could have the power he has, I could do the same."
Along with Herodotus's words, more and more places in the city lit up with firelight, and there were faint sounds of crying and wailing in the wind.
But Herodotus didn't care about this, he just stared at Clara, his eyes burning, "Now you know how desperately I want to contact the goddess."
The little maid was about to say something, but was stopped by the high priest, who continued, "I didn't go to find you tonight, but had someone bring you here because I thought about it again.
"Before, the goddess only gave me signs and refused to talk to me. Maybe it was because my mind was not strong enough on my own, so I planned to use the Holy Spirit contained in the Great Temple of Alberto to arouse the goddess. of attention.
"That way she'll tell me more."
Seeing the high priest looking confident, the little maid could only smile bitterly in her heart.
She didn't know where Herodotus came from so many whimsical ideas, and the words Herodotus used just now were not questions, but declarative sentences.
In other words, she must meet the other party's requirements tonight.
The little maid's brain was running rapidly. However, during this period, she had changed many scientific experiments in order to avoid Herodotus' suspicion, and now the inventory was almost exhausted.
In particular, Herodotus's demands are getting higher and higher. Clara feels that she is just fighting the fire with a salary. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished, and she is getting closer and closer to being a member of the gang.
But those are all headaches later, and now she has to get over this hurdle first.
The little maid thought of an experiment that might satisfy Herodotus's request.
The most important thing is that this experiment is very simple. The maid asked Herodotus to find a water tank, then found a newly grown young leaf, and dropped two drops of ink on the tail of the leaf.
Then he put the leaf into the water tank, and a miracle happened the next moment. Although there was no wind blowing at this time, the leaf moved on its own in the water tank, drawing mysterious ink lines.
