Chapter 920 High Priest

The afterglow of the setting sun is about to disappear and night is coming.

The newly cut thorn branches were thickly spread in the hall of the Temple of Thorns, and the high priest Slotu was lying on the thorns with a peaceful face.

The priests, headed by Edson, knelt before the old man.

His face was sad, but reverent.

If the old man hadn't acted decisively to let them enter the secret passage, none of their 'seeds' in the Temple of Thorns would have been eliminated, and the 'flames' of the Thorns would have been completely extinguished.

"Respectable high priest, you have fulfilled your oath in your life!"

"May you rest in peace as you return to the arms of Ms. Vanessa!"

Edson, the elderly priest, prayed word by word.

It's very simple, without any complicated and lengthy words or rituals.

For the Temple of Thorns, simplicity or simplicity is the tradition. They are more willing to spend more time pursuing the meaning of life instead of focusing on other things.

Even a funeral.

The thorn branches were set on fire.

Not ordinary fire, but flames shooting down from the statue of the Lady of Thorns.

Under such flames, the body of High Priest Slotu quickly disappeared and turned into a wisp of smoke floating towards the tall statue.

A faint radiance gathered around the statue. When this wisp of green smoke came into contact with the radiance, it immediately changed into the appearance of Slotu.

Although it is illusory and unreal, there is no doubt that it is the high priest Slotu.

Beside the high priest, the soul of the dead priest Barry also appeared.

After the souls of the two friends met, they smiled, waved to the people in the hall, and disappeared.

However, the faint brilliance did not disappear.

Lady Thorn's voice sounded.

"Ryan will be my high priest."

"Ederson became my officiant."

The sound echoed in the hall, and everyone could hear it clearly, including Qin Ran who was standing in the corner.

Kieran was not good at handling ceremonies and gatherings with many people.

Not good at weddings, and even harder to deal with funerals.

Therefore, at the beginning, Qin Ran stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching the respectable high priest return to the embrace of Lady Thorns.

With Kieran's expert-level [mysterious knowledge], he couldn't tell how this process happened, but he could confirm that it was indeed Slotu's soul just now.

As for where?

Is it Lady of Thorns’ Kingdom of God?

or where?

Kieran couldn't be sure.

In fact, he has never even seen what the real Kingdom of God is like.

But deep down in my heart, I still wish that the high priest would get his wish.

Because he knew very well that without the other party's restraint, his plan would not be successful at all.

In a sense, the other party is also his collaborator.

However, compared with this collaborator, the other collaborator really gave Kieran a headache.

Ever since he was thrown into the main trunk of the River of Destiny, Qin Ran not only choked on some water and almost drowned in it, but he also discovered that the god had been observing him from time to time - even hiding it at the beginning. However, after he vaguely discovered his whereabouts several times, the other party quickly became upright.

Within twenty-four hours a day, most of the time was spent paying attention to him.

It's like watching monkeys in a zoo.

It's more like paying close attention to some test sample.

Whether it was the former or the latter, Qin Ran felt dissatisfied.

But he couldn't resist.

He didn't forget Tikki's request.

"Am I overfulfilling my mission now?"

With the frequency with which the other party observed him, Kieran ensured that the other party had no energy to observe other things.

Facing Ms. Thorn's appointment, although Qin Ran cursed in his heart, he still took a step forward, performed a knight's salute, and said: "Okay, madam."

Seeing Qin Ran walking out of the shadows, all the priests, deacons, knights, and servants in the hall saluted respectfully.

Some young people are even more enthusiastic.

‘The God Killer’!

Such a name has already shocked the entire city of Navia. The collapse of the Temple of Fortune and the fall of Lady Fortune cannot be concealed at all.

Like the withering of the temple of sin.

On the contrary, it is the prosperity of the Temple of Thorns.

Not only the increase in believers, but also the ranking of the temple, once again returned to the Temple of Thunder, replacing the original Temple of Wealth.

Therefore, everyone took it for granted that Qin Ran, who had made the greatest contribution, was appointed, and no one would object.

However, the next scene still shocked everyone.

In the faint light, a figure walked out.

"Ms. Vanessa!"

People in the hall immediately knelt down on the ground, touching their foreheads to the ground first, and then straightened up after making a big salute.

Therefore, they did not notice that the moment their foreheads touched the ground, the lady in the light revealed her true appearance and looked at Kieran with a frown and puzzlement.

Qin Ran also frowned and was puzzled.

He didn't understand why this lady did this.

One god and one person look at each other.

When others in the hall looked up, everything had returned to normal.

"I bless you."

In the faint voice, the radiant figure raised his hand and gently touched Qin Ran's forehead.

Then, the light dissipated and the hall returned to normal.

People looked at Kieran with envy.

After a series of events, everyone knew that Ms. Thorns would be very fond of Kieran, but they did not expect that it would reach this level.

He actually blessed Qin Ran when he became the high priest.

This is the only thing that has happened since the Temple of Thorns appeared.

"It's really surprising and enviable."

Edson, who was promoted to the priest, walked to Kieran without hiding his envy at all.

In the opinion of this devout old man, being able to receive the blessing of Lady Thorn is far more joyful than becoming the high priest or officiant.

"I didn't expect it either."

Kieran said half-truthfully.

He had received the blessing from Lady Thorn once, so there was no need for such trouble, let alone showing his true face to see him again.

If there were no other reasons, Qin Ran wouldn't believe anything he said.

The Lady of Thorns doesn't look like someone who is superfluous.

"What will it be?"

Qin Ran was guessing in his heart.

But on the surface, he was talking to Edson calmly.

"High Priest, we need to complete the Knights!"

"We need more servants and deacons!"

"The lady just informed me that there have been some changes in the teachings - the lady has made the choice of fate more calm."

"It's just that I don't know how to use it..."

“Isn’t it too vulgar to use money to buy ‘choices’?”

Edson took out a coin as he spoke, with a look of distress on his face.

Obviously, it was too difficult for this old man to add new things to the original teachings.

But Kieran would not.

Look at the coins blooming with brilliance under the candlelight.

Kieran instantly understood what the Lady of Thorns was thinking. Coins no longer simply represented monetary value, but should also represent the choice of fate.

So……

An idea that suited the choice at hand instantly appeared in Kieran's mind.

After signaling to Edson, Kieran reached for the coin, placed it flat on his index finger, and flicked it with his thumb.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the coins rolled and flew high into the sky, spinning and blooming with dazzling light.
