Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 718 If there is no light in the world, then I will use myself as the light
"Photios, you're finally awake."

The pope, who stood at the apex of power in almost the entire continent, turned around slowly. As he took off his hood, the holy light immediately washed away the shadow that had just covered him, as if it was a source of healing.

But this kind of Photios is familiar with the primordial power in his bones, which should have allowed him to feel the encouragement from his soul at such a tired moment.

But at this moment, he only felt like a glow on his back, as if what was shining on him was not a round of warm golden sun, but a will-o'-the-wisp that was coated with a layer of gold and actually exuded a cold aura.

He is clearly in the ultimate brilliance, but it gives people the deepest darkness. This is the feeling that the current Bishop Nicole gives people.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, why are you in such a mess? Photiou."

With the sound of aggressive footsteps, the pair of gold-plated luxury boots stopped where Photios could see with his head down. The primordial power radiated endless light and heat, forcing Photios to raise his head. , staring directly at Nicole who was already almost stuck in front of him.

He didn't know what kind of eyes he was looking at Nichols at the moment, but Nichols let out a low laugh, and then sneered: "Photius, you don't have to look at me with hatred, what do you want?" You can say it directly—"

"What I want to say...heh." Photiou said coldly, "Hang me here, have you considered giving me the right to speak?"

"Of course, you can just say what you want to say." Nichol took two steps back and spread his hands, "Say it, let me hear your reason for coming."

"Why do I come? By the beginning of the world, by the great Danya, Nichol, when you allow the troops of Saint-Emma Ou to invade La Rochelle and kill innocent people for no reason, you are no longer worthy to be a bishop position——" Photios narrowed his eyes, and his gaze gradually became sharper, "I can't help but wonder if it's your enthusiasm for so many years that hasn't been rewarded that makes your faith no longer firm."

"Is my faith firm? Photios, you have asked a question that Danya can't help but laugh. Who can be more devout than the original bishop? I have been chasing him faithfully, and I have been chasing after him all the time." footsteps, just to be able to see His figure—”

Nicole turned his back, rubbed his hands back and forth lightly, his tone was extremely calm, but what he said made one's hair stand on end.The corners of Photio's eyes twitched, and he suddenly said loudly: "Nicole, we are just the agents of the origin, the inheritance of the great Danya's will, the gods have long since turned into stars and gone away, you know, I know, this is Something we all know!"

"Yeah, sure, I'm chasing a way to bring him back to earth... Do you remember Stanley Clemens? He's dead, yes, he's dead, but he's the way The ascetic in the world, he is more urgent than my desire, he and I have talked with him many times, many times..."

Stanley Clemens?Former Bishop of the Harbor Temple?
Photios only felt his heart beating wildly. Of course, he heard from the young marquis his complete experience in Port New Orville, Stanley Clemens' plan, the negative aspects of Sea God Urella, God of War Negatives of Isis...

Could it be the gray fog under the statue of Danya just now!
He tried his best to recall the picture he saw just now, but he was surprised to find that there was only a blur in his mind, and gradually only the buzzing sound remained. The same thing happened to his ears, which made his mind dizzy.

How could this be, my memory, my, my...

He began to be unable to remember how he came to Alma St. Emma, ​​how he climbed the steps, the dilapidated Hylia, the queen who was enthroned, and even his own past. , all quickly faded amidst this humming sound.

"You, you..." Photios was dizzy, he knew that his trip to Albion St. Emma was more likely than good, but if he just died in this way, then wouldn't his coming this time be Meaningless?

He bit the tip of his tongue violently, the sudden pain made his mind clear for a while, but Nicole was still buzzing and didn't know what to say, and the words that came out of his mouth were no longer Austrian. St. Emma's language, or any biological language that Photios can understand, is like chaos and cannot be interpreted at all.

He accumulated the remaining magic power in his body, and before Nicole noticed it, he shouted vigorously:

"Nikor, you betrayed Yuan Chu!!"

This cry exploded in the empty square, and at the same time, it was a thunder that suddenly pierced the sky, like a long dragon swooping down, heading straight for the bishop Nicole who was still chanting.

But the latter just raised his eyebrows and glanced lightly, and then waved his hand upwards casually. The thunder light shattered in mid-air before it even fell!

While Photios looked at this scene, his pupils shrank suddenly——

When Nicole made a move, the magic power used did not belong to the original aura at all, but was wrapped in a faint gray aura like the black mist under the statue just now!

"Your dullness makes me feel very pitiful for you."

Nicole turned to Photios again, and there was actually a look of pity in his eyes, "I just said so much, all from His teachings, did you understand? You didn't understand a single word, did you? ?”

"You foolishly pursue the non-existent Danya, like a dog wagging its tail and waiting for the return of its master, but I got rid of this foolish way, when I was chasing his figure—"

"Although I didn't catch up to His figure, I found it..."

Nichol stared at Photios' shrinking eyes, and suddenly leaned forward, whispering in his ears, his voice was like a magic voice, and went straight into the depths of Photios' soul:

"His shadow."

Photios just felt like a heavy hammer was being hammered in his mind, a gray aura rushed crazily in his mind, smashing into a mess the solid foundation of primordial aura that he had laid for so many years.Blood overflowed from his facial features, and a large jet of black blood spewed out from his mouth. He gritted his teeth, stared at Nicole's figure, and whispered hoarsely:
"So... you did betray Him, didn't you?"

"His figure is him, isn't his shadow also his?" Nicole said noncommittally.

He looked down at the blood sprayed from Photios's mouth and fell on his robe, and he stretched out his hand to flick it lightly, and the robe immediately became brand new.

"The soul of a believer will accomplish His coming." Nicole stepped back slowly, folded his hands, and said slowly: "Photiou, your soul is very fresh, your loyalty is unique, I think He will like you of--"

"Enjoy it, enjoy this honor, to be favored by Him, alas, I really envy—"

Nicole's voice became farther and farther away, and his figure gradually disappeared in front of Photios until the sound of the last word disappeared.

In this square, only he and the statue are left.

Photios was still tightly chained, and he felt that his body was being continuously destroyed by the gray aura from Nichols, and every tendon that had been soaked by the source for a long time was torn to pieces.

If the sling was untied now, he would lie on the ground like a corpse, unable to move.

His mind was already confused, and as the gray mist raged in his body, he could no longer remember who he was and why he was here.

But for some reason, he didn't bow his head, and stubbornly raised his head with all his strength, staring straight ahead——

Looking straight at the statue of Danya.

That statue is so beautiful, it is definitely a work of art from the hands of the most talented sculptor, but even so, it cannot show one ten-thousandth of the greatness of its corresponding god.

But at this moment, under this beautiful statue, a gray mist is spreading. They spread, quickly covering the entire square, and then grabbed the feet of Photios who was hung on the iron pillar.

If he lowered his head at this moment, he would see that his feet disappeared the moment they were covered by the gray mist, and there was not even blood left.But he just held his head up and looked directly at the statue.

His consciousness is constantly dissipating, he can't hear the sound, feels the pain, his existence has been wiped out, his death has long been declared, what remains here is only a body destined to be dedicated to the so-called "" His" body.

The gray mist was constantly climbing up, slowly but steadily devouring Photios' body.And every time a part was swallowed, a piece of the shell of the god statue peeled off, turned into fly ash, and disappeared in mid-air, revealing the empty, hollow blackness within.

But this scene was seen by Photios' empty eyes.

"Danya, great Danya..."

His lips began to murmur, and even though his consciousness had dissipated, this old man's body, whose soul was engraved with the imprint of origin, naturally made such a sound when witnessing this scene.

He began to tremble, his body with broken bones trembled in an incomprehensible way for humans, as if he wanted to break free from the iron chain, as if he sensed his abnormality, the gray mist immediately began to speed up, heading towards his waist Keep eating away.

"Danya, great Danya, Danya—"

The voice from that mouth gradually became clearer and gradually turned into a cry. Amidst a burst of hoarse shouts, the body trembled the most violently, and then he opened his mouth wide——

The shouting died away.

Instead, there was a scripture that was recited:
"When he came to the world, there was no light in the world, but he lit up the world, and he walked on the earth..."

If Nicole was still in the square at this time, his eyes would pop out in surprise——

What Photius was reciting at this time was clearly the "Code of Origin"!
But even his consciousness has dissipated, and even his existence has been wiped out, so how could he read such content?
But Photios recited it, even faster and faster; the gray mist continued to erode, and it had already eroded to his waist in a blink of an eye, and the outer shell of the lower body of the idol had almost completely peeled off.

But this old man, whose existence has been wiped out, has already recited the final chapter of the Code of Origin:
"Humans and mortals."

"The primordial god went to the mortal world, and he named the plain Xifen; the primordial god went to the mortal world, and he named the wall Monroe; the primordial god went to the mortal world, and he named the gate Ino—"

"He left the road to the White Ring to the world, He gave the key to the world, He let go of everything, He set everything free..."

"The original believers follow in the footsteps of the great Danya, inherit his will, and lead the world to walk in the world."

After reading this, the old man's voice suddenly stopped.

Then the old voice read out word by word, every word sound was mixed with indescribable power, every word sound was resounding.

"If there is no way in the world, then I will open the way with my body; if there is no light in the world, then I..."

"Use your body as light."

"Believers in the beginning, Photiou... Yours respectfully."

The gray mist stopped spreading, and the statue stopped breaking.

Seen from the outside, this square, which had long been shrouded in a thick gray fog, suddenly fell into a deathly tranquility.

Nickel, who had already moved away, squinted his eyes from a high place overlooking the "sacrifice ground". Just when he realized that something seemed wrong, a golden light suddenly lit up in the gray area in his sight. ——

Golden fire.

"Damn it, Photios, what did you do? How is this possible?!"

The bishop standing at the highest point of power uttered a scream that he hadn't uttered in decades. He rushed towards the square in a hurry, but the flames spread instantly, covering the entire square in the blink of an eye, igniting Every piece of gray fog.

Different from the gray mist that makes people want to vomit and nausea just by looking at it, just by looking at the firelight, one can feel the courage and strength contained in it, as if it can gain the motivation to move forward.

This is the original light.

But this kind of light only made Nicole dizzy at this moment.

And the center of all this golden flare.

The old man chained to the iron pillar, the half-length old man left after being swallowed by the gray mist, was the source of the flames.

He calmly stared in front of him, seeing the soft and warm power that he was familiar with coming from the damaged statue.

He closed his eyes.

Only the lips whisper:

"If there is no light in the world, then I... use my body as the light."

The golden flames shot up into the sky, and the whole city of St. Helcoent could be seen.

In the thousands of churches in the city, the bells were all ringing, and the believers were surprised to find that their original magic power was surging uncontrollably.

Tears fell from the eyes of every god statue.

And at the same time.

The dusty gears turned slowly, and bright, white gaps lit up in the sky.

They hid among the clouds and passed through high mountains. Wherever they passed, all the monsters fled in panic.

In the end, the flowing gaps found their homes one by one, turning into majestic magic restrictions one by one.

Then there was the sound of dragons, resounding among the mountains.
