Chapter 208 The Lonely Island Hermit

"What do you want to do?"

Aura suddenly became furious, and he asked:
"We swore an oath to the Prophet, do you want to forget it?
I want to tell you that there will be retribution for breaking the oath, and the gods will not allow such despicable actions! "

The high priest, who was always easy to talk, suddenly showed anger at this moment, and that anger instantly frightened everyone present.

They didn't dare to say anything for a while, and suddenly fell into silence.

After a long time, a priest bravely said:

"High Priest, let them go on like this...I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, all the prophecy temples on this earth will collapse and be abandoned.

high priest,
This is by no means unfounded worry! "

The priest's voice fell into Aura's ear, and the high priest, who was originally burning with anger, lost his arrogance in an instant.

There is a dilemma in front of you.

Either break the oath, or sit back and watch the church grow.

High Priest Ola raised his head slightly, looked at the statue of Cargaus for a long time.

After a long time, he said:

"I heard... in the distant sea, there is a place called Lonely Island."

The priests raised their heads one after another and looked at Aura suspiciously. They had never heard of the Lonely Island.

An old priest stood up and asked in a trembling voice:
"High Priest, do you mean the hermit of Lonely Island?"

The three-eyed ape-man priest was blind, so he obviously knew what was going on.

High Priest Ora nodded heavily.

That is an ancient legend, a legend among the priests of the previous generation.

Legend has it that above the sea, there is a small isolated island, uninhabited and barren, with only shoals and coral reefs in sight.

That small island is shrouded in dense sea fog. It is said that most of the ships that tried to find this small island sank into the sea strangely, leaving no place for burial.

But on this small island, there lived a hermit.

He lives in a hut deep in the mist, on a deserted island, but he is self-sufficient.

Hermit Nian has an old face, wrinkled face, white hair and beard, eyes like vultures, extremely wise, but full of sinister.

He often wears a shabby gray sackcloth, sticks a simple wooden stick, and walks slowly on the shallows, as if waiting for something.

"People say that the hermit received the revelation from Cargaus himself, so he went to the sea and waited for the confirmation of the prophecy."

said the High Priest Ora, kneeling before the statue of Cargauth,
"We all know that prophecy has a meaning beyond the ordinary. For the sake of prophecy, the hermit resolutely abandoned his life of prosperity and wealth, and went to that lonely island alone."

The blind priest also knelt down and added for him:
"In our generation, some people said that the reason why this hermit was sent to the lonely island by Cargaus was that he had already understood the secrets of the gods."

Aura glanced at the blind priest and said softly:
"That church honors Norn as a prophet.

And a generation ago, that hermit... was the prophet of Cargauth. "

"And we, perhaps only relying on that legendary hermit, can stop the development of that church and guard our faith."

Aura stated in a calm voice.

The blind priest suddenly became agitated, as if some bad memory had been brought back.

"What are you thinking? Ola!

Do you know that in the previous generation, how many people went to sea to find this hermit, but in the end, without exception, they were buried in the sea? "

Aura did not turn her head, still facing the idol.

After a long time, the high priest said slowly:

"One person survived. He saw the face of the hermit, and finally drifted back with a wooden plank in his arms."

The blind priest choked suddenly.

Immediately, the only remaining eye on the forehead involuntarily shed tears of panic.

"Yeah, only I came back alive, I have seen his face...

Of the thirty people, only I am still alive.

It is because he needs someone to pass the message, telling outsiders not to disturb him anymore, and he wants to wait for the confirmation of the prophecy. "

The blind priest trembled, and the terrible memory resurfaced in front of him again.

Decades ago, as a young man, he embarked on a journey to find a hermit together with the priests of the Great Temple.

After going through storms, tsunamis, fog, and all kinds of hardships and obstacles, the whole ship was torn apart by the sea, and the other 29 people were swallowed by the sea.

Only the blind priest held the board alone, struggling to survive and pray. After experiencing self-doubt and firm hope, he went through hardships and saw the legendary lonely island with his own eyes.

He originally thought that he was finally lucky enough to meet the hermit, which was the blessing and guidance of Kagaus. He originally thought that he was the one who wanted to confirm the prophecy.

However, the hermit stood on the beach and looked at him coldly.

"I save your life, get out of here, and don't let anyone bother me again."

Then, the hermit took out a sharp stone knife and stabbed him blind in both eyes, leaving only the prophetic eye on his forehead.

Then the blind priest was thrown into the sea, accompanied by only a broken plank.

Compared with the physical pain, the hermit's eyes made him more desperate.

That was the moment of disillusionment.

He has gone through so much suffering, only to reap more pain in the end.

Terrible memories came to mind, and the blind priest asked:

"What do you want to do? Aura, do you still want to kill thirty priests?!
No one ever lived to see him, and I'm alive, not because of his mercy, but because he doesn't want to be bothered! "

Aura sighed and said slowly:

"But we have no choice."

The voice made the blind priest stunned.

The growth of the church has shaken people's faith in Cargaus.

If they want to maintain it, they can only rely on the hermit of Lonely Island. They can only rely on this legendary hermit who has wisdom comparable to that of a god. From the perspective of spirit and belief, they can refute or even destroy the church that believes in the Lord.

Aura turned her head and looked at the blind priest,

"Perhaps... perhaps it's time for the hermit's prophecy to be confirmed?"

The blind priest was silent. After a long time, he said slowly:

"Then let's make a prophecy and see if we can successfully reach the Lonely Island."

Ola nodded emphatically.

Early the next morning, after taking an early shower, Aura sat in the room full of flower petals and clear water, which was specially prepared for the high priest to pray.

Ola closed his naked eyes. This was the third and last prophecy in his life.

He first emptied his body and mind, then squirmed his lips and recited:

"Namausu Yasi."

That is the old saying that the prophet Norn once taught in the New Law Garden.

It is amazing that,

Although the priests of the Great Temple are now hostile to the church in every possible way, they have to use the old sayings taught by the prophets because the old sayings can strengthen the power of prophecy.

The pale yellow power of prophecy condensed and permeated Aura's surroundings. The prophecy eyes on his forehead overlapped with reality.

"Holy prophecy, great Cargaus, please appear for your servant, please explain your servant's doubts, please allow me, who is dull, to make a prophecy about the hermit on the lonely island."
