Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 914 Berannar goes crazy

"Sir Upton, what qualifications do we have to make demands of the clergy who represent the will of the gods? Their nobility is much superior to that of a butcher who licks blood with his knife.

He never considered the living environment of believers, as if all the respect and worship he received were taken for granted. Not to mention the Phoenix Guards taking away Teacher Beranal here, maybe even at the Dragon Palace, the respected high priest could take it away with just one word. Where's the dragon horn? "

The sarcastic words came from Drachnir, who did not take things too seriously. Prince Caledor was describing the priest on the steps as if he was a god.

The Platinum Flame Temple has been in a delicate state for a long time. The priesthood and Phoenix Guards are aloof from worldly affairs, and there are very few traces of their actions in Ulthuan.

But why it always occupies the position of the most important temple, on the one hand, it is the inevitability of Asuryan as the god above the gods, and on the other hand, it is the authority attached to the temple by the Phoenix King.

Is it too ridiculous that a throne based on the fire-avoiding spell actually makes the Platinum Flame Temple more sacred?

Upton squeezed out a smile and responded with a smile, "You are right. Asul, who fought with Druchi and gained the false name of Blade Lord, how can I disobey the priest?" Where is the will?"

But after saying this, the Blade Lord's hand did not relax at all.

Will the old friend he swore to protect be one of the Phoenix King's assassins? Upton didn't believe this possibility. His only thought was to protect Beranal and not allow anyone to hurt a hair.

Caledor would offer refuge to his old friend, and all he had to do was give everything he had before Belanar was safe.

The originally tranquil blue pool changed with the priest's movements. A clear and loud phoenix call was emitted from the pool. The water turned crimson red, and the water surface was unnaturally burning with flames.

The echo of the metal scepter falling on the ground changed the atmosphere of the temple. The high priest's tone was solemn, and every word and deed represented the will of the gods.

The old mage patted Upton's shoulder lightly, indicating to release his hand. His expression was as calm as if he had seen through everything, and he let the Phoenix Guard lead the way.

The old mage has no interest in this pretentious behavior. The high priest Asuryan's ability to use divine magic relies entirely on the phoenix scepter passed down from ancient times.

But in today's Lilith Temple, if you don't follow the rules, no one will be able to leave.

Asuryan's real divine choice in the mortal world is the captain of the Phoenix Guard, but if he expects a mute to express his attitude, it is better to find a druchi to pretend to be the divine choice.

"Belanar, gaze upon your fate!"

No one stopped the old mage from moving forward. He stepped up the steps step by step and walked towards the divination pool that was no different from the execution ground.

Belannar, whose face was already somewhat weathered, stared at the flames rising from the pool. He heard something Imrik said, and now it felt very reasonable.

The high priest Asuryan sang a hymn of praise, with a flaming phoenix scepter embedded on the top, waving with the blazing flames.

In the flames, you can see everything in the past...

On the contrary, Berannar sighed a little in his heart. The loyal guard did not want his master to be threatened. This was naturally understandable.

Of course, this ball of flames with the aftermath of divine magic had no actual impact on Bérannar. The retired old mage had already used confinement magic on the spirit, which could effectively block external interference.

But in order to match the performance of the high priest, Belannar's eyes were empty, and his whole body couldn't help but start to tremble. A few strands of white hair fell on his sweaty forehead as he covered his head with his hands, and murmured to himself like crazy.

"He is not worthy of being the Phoenix King. Assur has been silent for too long. We need a monarch to lead us to regain control of the world... He is just a sailor who gained fame by winning over and diplomacy. We need a hero, a hero who is the same as the ancient elves. A monarch of noble character!" "Ah!!!"

With a heartbreaking cry, Upton in the audience pulled out the sword behind him and rushed towards his old friend.

All this is a conspiracy of these priests, using divine magic to confuse the Supreme Mage. He would never have such an idea!

The Phoenix Guards who saw Upton's movements intercepted him at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people. The tip of the halberd was as sharp as lightning, and several red streams of light flashed out immediately.

Seeing the interception by the Phoenix Guard, Upton, who originally sprinted towards the stage in a jumping posture, relied on his superb swordsmanship to forcefully change his moves. He switched from offense to defense and used his big sword to protect his abdomen. The big sword swung out a shining semi-circular white light, which went straight. Collision with rune halberd.

Faced with several deadly weapons at the same time, their users are Asuryan's chosen Phoenix Guards. If they are lucky enough to escape, they will definitely be touted as a major event in life.

Although the Phoenix Guard's rune halberd was fast, the Blade Lord's counterattack was even faster. In the mid-air where it was difficult to exert force, Upton only relied on his strength and martial arts to knock five Phoenix Guards into the wall with one blow. .

After the first confrontation achieved results, Upton's expression became extremely ferocious, and the eyes he looked at High Priest Asuyan were as sharp and cold as the sword in his hand.

The expression on the high priest's face changed a bit. When it came to fighting, ten of them were no match for one Phoenix Guard.

But the priest's duty has never been to fight, but to convey the will of the gods to all living beings...

At noon, the sun will penetrate into the temple, brushing the shoulders of the statue of Lilith and falling to the ground.

This symbolizes that no matter day or night, Lilith will always be the darling of the elven pantheon.

And this beam of sunlight entering the temple condensed into substance when Upton stirred it up and reached the conical reflection range.

The crystals originally embedded in the surrounding walls for decoration now shimmered, seeming to respond to the call of the sun.

And this beam of sunlight also turned countless weak rays of light into silver chains, firmly fixing Upton in mid-air.

"What a shame..." Draconir stared at the moonlight in the hands of Priest Lilith. Although he had long known that there were many secrets hidden inside this temple, it was not too deliberate to directly use divine power to intervene.

The Moon Maiden Priest with an extraordinary appearance, whose voice was exactly the same as her cold temperament, kept shaking her hands lightly as she explained to the people in the temple.

"Blade Lord Upton, an Asur who has made outstanding achievements in protecting Ulthuan, but this merit is not the capital to challenge the majesty of the gods. Your attempt to take action against the God of Gods' Choice has already been with Berannar. There is no doubt about the assassination of the Phoenix King.

In the name of the chief priest of Lilith, I hereby sentence you to death. "

As she spoke, her lightly held palms began to close, and the chains that had already bound Upton extremely tightly tightened as the priest moved, causing the Blade Lord's throat to neigh like a beast.

"Wait a minute, I haven't agreed to this yet."
