Chapter 1050

The Temple of the Sun is built at the highest point of Salta. From this platform, you can overlook the entire city. It is one floor higher than the tribal hall of Chief Zurazab, and it is the spiritual sanctuary of all the Sun trolls.

The highest platform has a large area, but there is only one building, and that is the Temple of the Sun.

Corsaro's team entered the square along the wide steps, and was immediately stopped by two temple guards, who shouted loudly: "Mounts are not allowed to approach the temple!"

"You all come down!"

The temple guards were elite paladins, with serious expressions, holding a scorching spear that was taller than their bodies, and they were not afraid of facing a whole hunting team.

Corsaro nodded, turned over and jumped off the Direhorn.

He turned around and said, "Come down."

"Yes, Captain."

The paladins jumped off their mounts one after another, Corsaro called out the name of a paladin, and ordered: "Sedaka, you stay here and guard our Direhorn."

Every direhorn is a valuable asset of the tribe and cannot be discarded at will. After the hunting team returns, it must be returned to the tribe, and there must be no less. If the mount is lost due to the team's dereliction of duty, the whole team must compensate and be punished.

Corsaro didn't want to be caught on this kind of detail.

Sedaka hesitated for a moment. He knew how important what was going to happen next, and he didn't want to miss it, but the captain's order could not be violated, so he could only nod his head.

"let's go."

Corsaro led the team across the square, and walked towards the entrance of the temple under the watchful eye of the temple guards.

The appearance of the Sun Temple is like a pyramid.

It is like a replica of Anser's mausoleum, of course it is much smaller, only more than 50 meters high, the first half is made of rocks, and the second half is embedded in the mountain. This mountain is a complete giant rock, I don't know how much effort it took to excavate it. It is majestic, and the surface of the temple is covered with a layer of gold, shining brightly in the sun.

The entrance of the temple is at the foot of the front of the pyramid, with a row of obelisks standing on both sides, and the scorching sun doctrine written in troll language is engraved on the surface.

In the square, there are many trolls praying at this moment.

Every troll of the Lie Sun tribe has the right to pray to the God of Lie Sun, and can come to the temple to pray at any time.

But only in the square.

Ordinary trolls are only eligible to enter the temple to worship unless they are allowed by the priest of the sun, or during major festivals and prayer ceremonies.

As soon as Corsaro and his men approached the entrance, the guard standing at the gate of the temple shouted to stop.

Two scorching sun spears crossed in front of them.

Dozens of guards around the temple also gathered their gazes. Seeing Corsaro with a dozen paladins, they immediately raised their vigilance.

"I am Corsaro, the hunting captain of Scorching Sun's Edge." Corsaro first identified himself, "I have something very important to see High Priest Tusul."

On the way back to Salta, he considered his next steps.

If he wants to rise to power and control the Lieyang tribe, the biggest resistance is the current supreme ruler, Chief Zurazab. Publicly announcing that Anser has been resurrected, and then issuing an oracle to take over the position of chief, is basically a sure thing.

But it is not completely insured, there is still the possibility of accidents.

Zurazab did not admit that it was Anser, or that the high priest of the temple had discovered the clue and identified Anser on the spot as being replaced by other gods.

In this way, it will be troublesome.

Of course, it's just a little trouble. At this moment, there are a thousand Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers lurking in the forest outside Salta. With an order, they can be teleported in immediately, suppressing the Scorching Sun tribe with absolute power, and forcibly ascending to the throne.

It would be difficult to end it like this, and it would be detrimental to Sanguinius' plan to confer the gods.

It would be best if he could take over the Sun Clan smoothly.

Therefore, as long as the support of the high priest Tusul of the temple can be won, and the spiritual leader of the tribe will come forward to acknowledge Anser's resurrection, then everything will be simple.

The military power of the Lie Sun tribe is mainly divided into two parts.

The first is "Front of the Scorching Sun", under the command of chief Zurazab, composed of 15,000 full-time combat paladins, responsible for Salta's city defense, patrolling security and hunting tasks, and another 15,000 Thousands of paladins only participate in training at ordinary times, and when needed, or are recruited in war, they can join the army immediately.

The second is the temple guards. Their duty is to protect the Burning Sun Temple. There are about 2,000 people, and they are under the command of the high priest.

The number of temple guards is far less than that of Scorching Sun's Front, but the average individual strength is higher, well-equipped, and in a detached position.

Moreover, High Priest Tusul himself is one of the three Sun Warriors of the tribe.

Only Tusur can stand against the Chiefs.

The Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers disguised themselves as trolls and lurked in the Lie Sun tribe for almost two months. They focused on the tribe's top powerhouses. They discovered early on that the relationship between Zurazab and Tusur was not as close as it appeared on the surface. Secret rivalry.

However, when it comes to major matters related to the survival of the tribe, the two trolls will put aside their personal gains and losses and consider the future of the tribe.

Therefore, Corsaro was not sure whether he could win the support of Tusul.

Can only try.

The All-Seeing Eye saw through the stone walls of the temple and found Tusuul, who was praying in a secret room in the temple.

Hearing Corsaro's words, the temple guard was unmoved, and said in a deep voice, "The High Priest is busy with affairs. If Captain Corsaro has anything to do, I can transfer it for you..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

Corsaro turned his back to the troll in the square, raised his hand towards him, a soft light flashed from his fingertips, and lightly sprinkled down.

"Divinity!"

The temple guard froze for a moment, then changed drastically, realizing something.

He widened his eyes, "You..."

A figure rushed out of the temple at an extremely fast speed, and appeared between the two with a gust of wind. The temple guard quickly called out: "High Priest."

It was Tusul who came.

The spiritual leader of the Lieyang tribe has always been gentle and courteous to his tribe, regardless of the status of the other party, but at this time he didn't even look at the temple guards, fixed his eyes on Corsaro, and asked eagerly: " Are you using a magic spell?"

Corsaro is also looking at the other party.

Tusur is very old, and the soul's eye judges that he is at least 800 years old.

He doesn't wear heavy armor like other paladins, and he wears a loose cloth robe, but he can't hide his strong muscles. He is tall, a head taller than ordinary sun trolls, and his eyes are still bright and clear. A thick holy light flashed.

Worthy of being a Sun Warrior!

If compared with the ranks of human transcendents, Tusuer is about twenty-seventh rank.

The so-called temple priests, because after Anser's fall, they could not bestow divine spells, were actually paladins who performed the duties of priests.

At most, he has mastered the means of some troll witch doctors, and has no ability to cast spells.

Corsaro deliberately showed his hand, and sure enough, the fluctuation of the magic spell immediately attracted Tusuer, and he nodded respectfully: "Yes, High Priest."

Tusur was overjoyed.

In fact, he heard the conversation between Corsaro and the guards, glanced at the group of paladins behind Corsaro, and immediately felt the breath of divine magic.

"My lord..."

Tusur's expression changed, excited, excited, shocked, and suspicious.

But he quickly calmed down, looked at Corsaro, then at the people praying in the square, and calmly said: "Come in with me." Then he ordered to the guard at the entrance of the temple, "Goklu, Take your men and enter the temple together, and no one is allowed to leave without my order."

Evidently, Tusul realized that the temple guards present had also seen the spell.

He must block the news.

"Yes, High Priest." The temple guard solemnly accepted the order.

Corsaro's hunting team, a team of temple guards, all followed Tusul into the temple, and then another team of temple guards took over the guard.

Tusur led the crowd into the hall of the Sun Temple.

This hall is extremely spacious, with a high dome supported by two rows of square columns. Pine oil torches are lit on the walls to illuminate the reliefs and words carved on the walls. Miracles have been performed many times in history to bless believers.

On the wall facing the entrance, there is a huge sun with a diameter of about five meters. It is completely decorated with a golden composition and emits dazzling golden light.

There is a vague figure in the middle of the sun, which makes people unable to look directly.

Tusul stood in front of this round of golden scorching fire, and it took him a long time to turn around, waved his hand, and the temple guards scattered around the prayer hall.

He stared at Corsaro, with anticipation on his face, and fear of losing hope, and said softly, "Captain Corsaro, what do you want to say?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes were on Corsaro.

High priest, temple guard, paladin.

Every troll is looking forward to it.

"My lord, Anser, has been resurrected!"

Korsa Roman said this sentence immediately, without making a fuss, and without mentally preparing the trolls, he directly said the most important information.

The light and fluffy words sounded like a thunderbolt to Tusul's ears.

It made him dizzy.

Tusur's body shook for a moment, he quickly stood up, and asked sharply, "How do you prove it? I am a priest of the gods, but I haven't heard any news, and you are just a hunting captain. Although you are very pious, why did God choose you? "

For more than 12,000 years, the Lieyang tribe has experienced countless hardships, and the temple priests of all ages have been looking forward to the awakening of the gods.

When that day actually comes, it is doubtful.

Shock.

unbelievable.

Tusuor prayed to God all his life, never wavering in his faith, but never getting an answer.

In terms of piety, he considers himself to be far superior to all his clansmen.

If the god has been resurrected, as the high priest of the temple, he should be the first to receive the oracle, but this is not the case. Instead, an unknown high-ranking paladin is required to convey it. Therefore, Tusur subconsciously had doubts.

Not only the high priest, but also the temple guards reacted similarly.

Even the paladin who had experienced the battle with Corsaro and came back from the dead, after the initial shock, on the way back to Salta, pondered all the way, and noticed something was wrong.

If the god has been resurrected, it is enough to announce directly to the tribe and all believers, why must Corsaro convey this news to everyone?

Doing so would obviously push Corsaro above the chieftain and high priest.

Corsaro is just a young hunting captain.

Why?

Whether it is fame, strength, status, piety, or talent, there are many trolls in the Lie Sun tribe that surpass Corsaro, at least dozens can be found, and Corsaro has not made any major contributions. Why is God resurrecting? Will you take a fancy to him later?

Is this reasonable? It doesn't make sense at all!

Corsaro had expected the troll to be suspicious a long time ago, without any panic on his face, he said calmly: "High Priest, please listen to me, whether it is true or not, the High Priest will naturally judge." Then, he said today in the forest The encounter in the book was described in detail.

Tusul was still skeptical at first, but as Corsaro spoke, his expression changed again and again.

Hearing that the paladin was resurrected from the dead, and everyone present could prove it, Tusul calmed down instead, and looked at Corsaro completely differently.

Corsaro quickly told the whole story.

The eyes of the soul saw that Tusul's emotions fluctuated violently, both excited and hesitant, and seemed to be in a difficult moment of decision. Obviously, Tusul realized something deeper, and also understood the political motives behind the fact that he was the first to report to him when he returned to the tribe.

Tusul walked back and forth in the hall, his face struggling, and he turned his head to look at Corsaro from time to time, only to find that Corsaro looked calm, and there was no clue at all.

It's not like a normal young troll.

I pondered for a long time.

Tusul finally stopped and asked, "Korsaro, how many divine arts have you mastered?" He had to make the final confirmation, and he had to see the divine arts with his own eyes before making a decision.

Corsaro did not speak, but showed it directly.

Light of Restoration, Light of Power, Light of Wisdom, Dispel Light, Morning Light, Flash, Heal Wounds, Antidote, Divine Shield, Trial Kowtow, Redemption, Consecration, Echo of Light, Aura of Sanctuary, Aura of Devotion, Retribution Halo, Heaven Feather, Holy Light Barrier, etc...

Rays of holy light flickered in the hall, dazzling the trolls.

At the beginning, Tusul and the temple guards were still able to calculate the magic spell silently, but Corsaro's magic spell was cast too quickly, and they threw out the next magic spell before they could clearly see the effect of the magic spell.

Every divine spell makes the paladin's heart beat.

When Corsaro cast the most powerful divine spells, the Sword of Dawn, the Holy Storm, and the Wings of Seraphim, the eyes of the paladins all looked straight.

"Okay."

Tusul is also very excited, these magic arts are exactly the same as those in the temple records.

If the paladins of the tribe can master divine spells, the number does not need to be many. Each paladin only needs a few divine spells to defeat three or even five enemies of the same level. Very easy.

Priests are the closest servants to God, and they will also control the power of divine blessings.

God’s resurrection benefits the priests the most!

Corsaro put away his magic spells and said, "High Priest, the oracle my lord gave me is to gather all the clansmen and hold a large-scale prayer ceremony. He will show miracles to the believers and announce the return of the gods."

Tusur had no doubts anymore.

"good!"

He took a deep look at Corsaro, with respect and anticipation in his eyes, and ordered: "Goklu, immediately beat the drum of the sun and call the whole city to the temple of the burning sun."

"Yes, high priest." The captain of the temple guard took the order and left.

The sound of drums came from outside.

A smile appeared on the corner of Corsaro's mouth.

Tusul summoned the tribe without notifying the chief Zurazab. It can be seen that he has chosen to stand on his side. Zurazabu is still unaware, and facing the oracle without precautions, it is basically impossible to turn the tables up.
