Chapter 1060: Shutes

, update the latest chapter of King of Arrows as soon as possible!

The border situation in Rahiman has not affected the life of the people in the city. Except for some rising prices, there is no tension on the street. The coastal location makes the climate pleasant in all seasons, even in winter the temperature is around 20 degrees.

Sally changed into a casual gauze dress, and slowly wandered in this strange and magnificent city with everyone.

After walking 300 meters from the hotel, they came to the temple area that had been preserved in this city. Just like when Akasha came here last time, the propaganda about "atheism" can still be seen on the street - obviously the parliament has spared no effort in this regard.

The surrounding architectural style is obviously different from other places. The gargoyle on the eaves is severely weathered, but the "cross" symbol can be seen from the remaining lines.

Rody hadn't been here before, frowned at these details, and suddenly said, "The element of the cross symbol seems to be used in many religions?"

Akasha and Sally are the clergymen of the two largest sects in the Karen Kingdom. They glanced at each other and shook their heads almost at the same time—Akasha pointed to a part of the carvings on the wall and said: "Karen Kingdom In the past, there were many denominations, but almost none of them used the sign of the cross, because this would cause them to be targeted by the Rose Cross or the Viper Cross in the first place."

"So...understood."

Rody used to be a senior player, but he didn't study too much about the details of the life of ordinary NPCs in the game. After all, in the eyes of players, only profitable information will be dabbled in. Who would study irrelevant history and religion in the game? Woolen cloth?

He squinted his eyes and kept staring at the open "task bar" - but there was no hint so far.

Sally seemed to be aware of his emotions, took Rody's hand to reassure him, and pointed to the front: "What do these signs say?"

"It's the crimes committed by Rahiman's original sect here, as well as the list of mages who died when the city of Duriel was restored."

Akasha saw it once, and now explained it for her on the other side.

Nata walked in the forefront, still retaining her original scouting habits, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings. But of course there is no danger here. Occasionally someone will come forward and distribute pamphlets in order to promote the content of "atheism". When Sally heard Akasha talk about the concept, she shook her head and disagreed: "If there is no god, where does the magic come from... This is not a fireball like a mage."

Rody took it over and looked at the contents of the brochure, and suddenly realized that this kind of "atheism" is actually different from the "atheism" he knew on earth: the Laximan mages did not deny the existence of "magic" ,

And admit that some "powerful beings" have powers that ordinary mages cannot match.

But this unknown degree of power does not mean that they are "gods". In other words... What the mages deny is a concept. "Gods" don't exist.

Sally didn't quite understand the difference, so she came to a conclusion without reading it. On the contrary, Roddy read it with gusto for a while, and when he stopped, he realized that they had come to a "temple".

"There it is!"

Akasha pointed to the wall full of relief murals in front of the temple, and everyone looked along, and immediately found the extremely eye-catching pictures - Sally's eyes widened, obviously a little excited: "This... this is ink. Galla! Here are Tisiphone and Alecto!"

What she said was the names of the three snakes on the Viper's Kiss. ​​She was holding the scepter in her left hand at this time, but because she lost her divine power, the three little snakes were no longer on it. However, as a user of the scepter, Sally is very familiar with them. Even if the murals are not strictly realistic, she can still distinguish their identities through their scales and physical characteristics.

This clarifies the fact that Rahiman's ancient religion is directly related to the Viper's Kiss.

Rody breathed a sigh of relief, but after a glance, he found that what surprised Sally was the largest mural in the center, but if you look along the left and right sides, you will find that it is like most religious places. Like works of art, it is the content in the form of "comics".

That is to say... it is telling a complete story like "Conception of the Virgin - Birth of Jesus - Advent of the Magi".

Thinking of this, Rody immediately searched for possible "interpreters" nearby, and quickly hired a middle-aged mage apprentice with gold coins to explain the contents of the mural to everyone.

"It starts with the murals over there—well... the story of the high priest Anda's dedication to the Lord."

Roddy patiently listened to him start from the beginning. This religion called "Shotes" was the oldest and most powerful belief that originally existed in the Rahiman Kingdom. It is even impossible to test the specific age of existence, but it is said to be "more than three thousand years".

"Their 'lord' is in charge of everything, but the executors are the envoys of the gods—the three envoys of life, death, and disaster are responsible for all the balance in the world. They are transformed into vipers..."

The following story is a bit cumbersome, and it is probably about how these three messengers maintained the balance of the world under the will of the "Lord". But when it came to the mural that Sally was most concerned about, the "commentator" changed his tone: "However, the balance of the world cannot be maintained forever. When their 'lord' suddenly lost contact, the three messengers became At a loss, and finally decided to act according to his own will - so the world was in chaos, and the believers began to kill each other."

He paused, but suddenly said: "According to me, the power of this god is still too weak, and he doesn't have the power to control everything at all, but the believers don't accept this fact, so they can only make excuses."

Luo Di was thinking about the distant fairy tale, when the other party interjected a piece of personal stuff, his expression suddenly darkened: "Please continue to talk about the murals..."

"Oh, ok, this...According to legend, a priestess named Anda saw believers fighting because of arguing - you see, here is the scene of their fighting - so the priestess decided to find it herself Three messengers, recast the glory of their 'lord'."

"She succeeded?"

Sally's voice trembled a little.

"Here is the story of her success—although I don't know how she did it—but Priest Anda did find the three messengers, and hoped to persuade them to stop causing chaos in the world."

The mage apprentice pointed to the mural on the right: "The three separate snakes here indicate that the three envoys are not willing to listen to her, so Anda expressed his willingness to dedicate his life to the Lord... Well, I don't know why dedicating one's life is so important. To be recognized by the three messengers, anyway, the meaning on the mural is that she succeeded, and she turned into a scepter, connecting the three messengers together."

The surrounding area was quiet, and the mage apprentice didn't notice it. He still pointed to the scepter and said, "This scepter has become the 'sacred object' of the Shotes sect, and its holder is the 'lord' on land." The spokesperson—it is said that it can control life and death, and can easily bring down disasters, and all those who are against it have died under the scepter."

Even if the story of the mural on this side is finished, he turned around and still couldn't help jokingly said: "If you want me to say this is all nonsense. Don't say whether this crap is true or not... There is such a powerful scepter, the teaching of Xiutes The world has been unified for a long time! How can it be like now, beaten like a wild dog by the power of magic, only dare to escape to the deepest part of the desert... tsk."

Sally held the Viper's Kiss in her hand, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
