Last Totem Novel - Chapter 523
Chapter 523 Swear An Oath
Just as Tie Zha was communicating with Muyu Ling Lan, in Tiandu, the largest and most prosperous city in the Far East, Bi Qinglan took over the city’s top commercial center, the Ling Xiao Treasure Pavilion, and led the sisters to go shopping together.
This activity will last for three days and three nights. The army of Bi Qinglan will be divided into three groups, each with more than a thousand people. They will enter separately.
For a time, the large shopping malls were filled with slender and graceful figures. Some of them had a long string of zeros printed on their fitting labels, some were selecting fruits that had just been flown in from all over the world, some were eating ice cream, and some were drinking coffee. Although they all looked exactly the same, their height and physiques were roughly the same, but their expressions were different, and their temperaments were myriad. Some were pure and cute, delicate and beautiful, some were charming and moving, some were soul-seizing, some were filled with vitality, some smiled like flowers, some were calm like water, and some were filled with anger. All kinds of styles were different, even if they looked at the same face, they would not feel tired and tired.
At this moment, if any putrid scholar saw it, he would definitely sigh with emotion, “The so-called scenery line should be like this.”
At this time, thousands of kilometers away, in Yujing, the largest city of the Horned Rhino Clan, Qin Ke’er was pushing a cart and bringing her younger brothers and sisters through the dazzling commodities.
“Sister, I want that dress.” The fourth sister of the Qin Family pointed at a dress and pleaded.
“No, it’s too expensive.” Qin Ke’er looked at the label and refused.
“Wow!” Fourth Sister cried out.
“Sister, I want to eat pistachios.” The Qin Clan’s younger brother’s eyes lit up as he looked at the imported snacks on the shelves.
“No, it’s too expensive.” Qin Ke’er refused without thinking, and then added, “If you want to buy, buy roasted peanuts. The taste is the same.”
“Sister, you lied to me.” The little brother immediately cried out with a dejected face.
“By the way, sister, when will brother-in-law come?” Fourth Sister suddenly asked.
“Yes, yes, when will brother-in-law come!” The little brother agreed excitedly. In their impression, brother-in-law was a rich man, not as stingy as Third Sister.
“He’s a big shot. He’s busy.” Qin Ke’er said.
“Is he a high official? How big is he? Does he have Ergou’s father’s high official?” The younger brother continued to question him like a barrage of cannons.
“Little Tiger, compared to our brother-in-law, that’s not an official.” Fourth Sister said.
“Wow!” Little brother opened his mouth wide.
“Alright, alright. Don’t listen to your fourth sister’s nonsense. Also …” Qin Ke’er said with a stiff face, “Don’t tell anyone about your brother-in-law. Do you understand?”
“En, Little Tiger won’t say anything.” The little brother nodded his head forcefully and agreed.
‘”Little Tiger, I’ll buy you some boiled peanuts later. Didn’t I agree to roast peanuts?” “That one is furious. Eat something well cooked ~” “Whoosh …” “I won’t buy it if I keep shouting.” “Oh, I’ll buy whatever I say.”
A few hours later, at eight o’clock in the evening of the Praise of the Gods Festival, in the northern plains of the Northern Wilderness Continent, in the territory of the Lombar family, known as the Golden Triangle, the New Year’s Ball had just begun in the palace of Silver City’s Bauhinia City on the seventeenth.
Many well-dressed and neatly dressed ladies and gentlemen kept pouring in. Celebrities from all walks of life, wealthy businessmen, mayors and generals, rising stars, either dressed in gowns, wearing shiny leather shoes, or neatly dressed in military uniform with medals hanging all over them, all handed over invitations to the butler and walked into the magnificent hall.
At this moment, in the princess’ bedroom above the hall, Yoga Lombar, dressed in light knight armor, was standing in front of the golden and precious landing mirror, withdrawing the slender blade of the sword from the white leather sheath decorated with golden patterns.
This was her sword, Silver Thorn. It was forged by nine great craftsmen of the Lombardi Clan using part of the Eden’s power furnace. It took three years to forge. After injecting psionic energy, it was extremely sharp, like starlight on a cold night, and could be called a “divine artifact”.
Divine artifacts exist as weapons, as opposed to “holy artifacts” that symbolize religious power and belief. For example, the Sacred Sword, Sacred Shield, Sacred Cross, the upper part of the Book of Truth, the lower part of the Book of Truth of Notre Dame, the Ancient Temple’s Life Staff, and the Glorious Temple’s Thunder Warhammer were all Sacred Artifacts. And Muyu Ling Lan’s Elegy of the Sky, Robin Silo’s deep-sea attachment, the cries of the Red Martial Saint’s earth, the Silver Thorns of Youge, the Glorious Scepter of Saint Augustman Mordleton, the Golden Staff of the Moon Prayer Sacrifice, and the Moon Shadow Dancer were all weapons made from the cylinder materials of the Eden Power Smelt.
Actually, all psionic melee weapons were replicas of divine artifacts, but the conversion rate of psionic energy was different. The conversion rate of low-grade psionic weapons was usually around 85%, while the conversion rate of high-grade psionic weapons could reach 150%, while the conversion rate of divine artifacts could reach 300%, or even higher.
“Your Highness, you” Eva, who was behind her, put on a short red cape and hesitated. “Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes.” You Ge replied.
Eva carefully asked, as if she was afraid that she would say something wrong and anger the other party. “Do you want … I mean … do you want to think about it for a while longer?”
“Assistant Green, I’ve already made my decision, so …” You Ge said in a deep voice, without any expression on her fair face. “Please respect my choice.”
Eva sighed and fastened the golden buttons on Youge’s cape and shoulder armor. Then, she smoothed her hair, adjusted her clothes, took a deep breath, stood in front of You Ge, and said with a solemn expression, “Your Highness, I will follow your footsteps.”
“This is my choice. It has nothing to do with you.” You Ge looks at her and says emotionlessly.
“Your Highness, please respect my choice.” Eva said solemnly.
“Tell me, why?” You Ge slows down his voice and asks.
Eva looked at the princess in front of her and calmly said, “I don’t want to be a tool for the family to marry … That’s all.” In the beginning, she only regarded him as a game of competition, a game that was not excluded from the circle. Since they can all play this game, why can’t she?
However, when the game ended, she gradually realized that she could no longer play the same game as others. Even if it was just acting, she could no longer do it.
“Since …” You Ge closed his eyes and said, “You’ve already made up your mind, then we’ll be sisters in the future.” “I am no longer your princess, and you are no longer my assistant,” she said quietly.
“Yes, my princess.” Eva nodded in agreement.
Ten minutes later, the dance began.
“I hope that everyone will return tonight with all their heart.” The Grand Duke of Gold gave a short speech and gave up his seat to You Ge.
Looking at the pair of expectant eyes beneath the stairs, You Ge slowly exhales a sigh of relief. His lips gently open and he says, “Friends, fellow robes, elders …”
“I am Yoga Lombar Mordleton, the princess of the Golden Triangle, the owner of Atlantic City, the miracle of the Temple.”
“Today, I would like to ask everyone to bear witness to me …”
Hearing this, You Jiawen’s expression changed drastically. He wriggled his lips, wanting to pounce on him to stop him, but it was already too late …
“I will convert to the embrace of the True God and become a judge.”
You Ge looks at the statue of Sur on the right side of the hall with a solemn expression. That clear and bright voice echoes in the Nuo hall and reaches everyone’s ears.
The hall was completely silent. After a long period of silence, the entire hall was in an uproar!
After thousands of years of development, in the contest of humanity and faith, the Temple, like Notre Dame and Temple, divided the clergy into two categories: “ordinary clerics” and “judges”.
In daily life, ordinary clerics and normal people are no different, can marry and have children, have wealth.
Judges, on the other hand, had to swear three oaths of absolute wealth, absolute desire, and absolute descendants.
There were three organizations in the temple: the Council of Elders, the Temple, and the Judicial Hall.
The Council of Elders is composed of ordinary clerics and has the highest decision-making power, but accordingly, the Pope also has the final veto power.
The Temple was an organization of the Iron Guards. According to the ancient tradition, it was loyal to the throne of the Pope.
The Judgment Hall was the key to maintaining the faith of the True Divinity, and it had the command of the Temple Crusaders.
For thousands of years, not all the pope had joined the trial, but only the presiding judge of the trial could mobilize the Temple Crusaders. As a result, almost every generation of the Pope also served as the presiding judge. Otherwise, he would be a “pseudo-pope” without the support of the Temple Crusaders.
But in order to protect the interests of the nobles, many of the pope was halfway home. You Ge’s grandfather, for example, started a family, married and had children, then gave up all his rights and property, swore an oath to join the court, and then ascended to the throne as a pope.
If the Grand Duke of Gold or Saint Augustman Modleton had thought that she would not be considered for trial until Youge gave birth to a descendant and was certain that she would become the next Pope.
You Ge swore an oath now, which meant that even if she had children in the future, she could only be an illegitimate child and had no legal right to inherit. At the same time, it also meant that even if she could not ascend to the throne, she would still have to abide by her oath, or else her reputation would be ruined.
Seeing his daughter’s resolute expression, the Golden Grand Duke’s eyes were slightly red, and his entire body was trembling, almost unable to do anything on his own.
“I will never marry, leave behind an inheritance, give birth to a child, and serve the True God wholeheartedly …”
A clear voice lingered on the dome of the hall, swimming among the ancient murals, traveling far away.
You Jiawen muttered to himself as he staggered towards the inner hall. His tall back was filled with indescribable sorrow and loneliness.
A few minutes later, the music sounded again, and the gentlemen and ladies walked into the dance floor and danced romantically.
