Chapter 166 Temple Sacrifice

In the darkness, Hou Wenwu stood under the patio, looking greedily at the starry sky.

A lonely person, imprisoned in a small courtyard, without even a single person to talk to, almost drove him crazy.

However, Hou Wenwu still had a glimmer of faith in him, and just ten days could not make him succumb.

With a bare pen and water, he wrote and drew on the old desk every day, silently reciting Zhuzi or Historical Classics, and then missed the Zhao royal family's unity in the early group of star warlocks - - The centralization of power in the imperial family was not only the ideal that Hou Wenwu cherished in his heart but did not dare to express, it was also the reason why the emperor valued him.

One day, I will be like Prime Minister Dou and reunite the upper echelons of the empire. Hou Wenwu murmured to encourage himself in a voice that no one else could hear.

A laugh came from the wall.

Hou Wenwu was shocked, stood up, raised his head, and looked over there.

A young man with a hazy face whose face could not be seen clearly floated cross-legged a little above the wall.

Who is your Excellency? Hou Wenwu looked at the black shadow in a low voice.

Anyway, I'm here to save you, the unlucky guy. The young man floated down from the air, looked at Hou Wenwu side by side for a while, and said with a casual smile: He's a pretty handsome guy, but he's not very smart. , is a fool.

In this life, Hou Wenwu has always been a typical genius. In his world, there has never been a genius who surpassed himself. This is the first time that he has been treated as an ignorant fool.

Even though he was in jail, he didn't care about the young man and still whispered: You are also a star warlock, why did you save me?

So you are an idiot. The young man said with a smile: The scope of the Star Warlocks is so wide, why are they a group of people? The reason why you are imprisoned in a place as big as a palm is because you dare to fight against our Star Warlocks, even Your master wouldn’t dare to do this either.”

Hou Wenwu's master is His Majesty the current emperor. Normally, he would have retorted sharply, but now he said in a very low voice without any care: Your righteous deed will be unforgettable by me.

The star warlock apprentice outside was knocked unconscious by me, so there is no need to pinch his throat, as if he were a dead eunuch. The most hated thing nowadays is the eunuch. The young man looked at Hou Wenwu with interest and said, I owe someone else Let’s use you to return the favor to him now.”

Hou Wenwu thanked him again, his face already filled with joy.

If you have to deal with the Star Warlock in the future, remember to be careful. The young man said, and with a flick of his right hand, a beam of light hit Hou Wenwu's neck, and the latter suddenly collapsed to the ground softly.

Before his head hit the ground, the star warlock rushed downwards and picked him up.

Under the long candlelight, this person turned out to be Tang Wen, a second-level star warlock.

Once on the third floor of the Star Warlock Association, Cheng Jinzhou severely cut the face of Warlock Tang Wenxing in front of all the Star Warlocks. He couldn't hold his head up for a long time. Although he was smiling and smiling when we met in the future, the grudge was still there.

Therefore, Tang Wen really didn't mind helping out with something that could not only repay the favor but also cause Cheng Jinzhou a headache.

Several star warlock apprentices served as guards, but they had no effect on the second-level star warlock. He flew low, holding Hou Wenwu in one hand, and in about three to five minutes, he arrived at the deserted coast.

A small black ship loomed in the waves.

Tang Wen flew closer, coughed slightly, and threw Hou Wenwu in.

Someone inside said in a rough voice: Thank you for your help, sir.

Tang Wen flew away without saying a word.

Early the next morning, the wind was warm and sunny, the sky was clear, and no one committed any crime.

When Cheng Jinzhou learned the news that Hou Wenwu had run away, although there were differences, his face showed no signs of it.

Because the person sitting in front of him was Father Li Zhong.

After a long period of preparation, the temple headquarters finally came up with a plan, and Li Zhong naturally came to the door immediately.

The Holy Church and the Star Warlock Association seem to be in harmony, but Father Li Zhong has never set foot on the outer peninsula. It was more than twenty years ago since the last time a priest from the Xia Jing Holy Church came here.

Several star warlock apprentices stood far away where they could not hear the two men talking, but they always paid attention to Father Li Zhong.

Father Li Zhong gently pushed a piece of paper in front of Cheng Jinzhou. On the front of the paper, there were three big words written: Letter of Appointment.

Cheng Jinzhou's eyelids twitched. Pastors and priests in the church are lifelong professions, and there are not many positions that can be appointed.

Mr. Cheng, the Star Warlock Association has prepared this gift after careful consideration. Li Zhong made a gesture of invitation.

The light paper may weigh more than a thousand pieces of gold. Although the power of the Holy Church is weaker than that of the Star Warlock Association and the government, their number is relatively small, and they are also a powerful organization that can determine the direction of Great Xia. If they pursue power wholeheartedly, just three words of letter of appointment will It can probably satisfy your cravings like a piece of fat as big as your palm.

Cheng Jinzhou did not open it.

Regarding rights, he has no clear goals and thoughts, not to mention Warlock An Fengxing's good words. Pressing his hand on the letter of appointment, he smiled and said: Father Li Zhong, for me personally, mathematics and science are a lifelong pursuit. Everything else will only serve this goal. Although I am very grateful to the church for engraving it on me. Star array, but for...

Mr. Cheng. Li Zhong didn't want Cheng Jinzhou to finish his words and immediately interrupted him: This letter of appointment will definitely not affect your pursuit of mathematics and science. On the contrary, it will greatly help you to study mathematics and science more concentratedly. In addition, as a person favored by God, only the Holy Temple can help you perform perfectly.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head.

To be honest, he didn't want to offend anyone. As for whether he could have better treatment and conditions, that was secondary.

Father Li Zhong maintained a smile full of kindness and said, You should at least take a look at the position we offer you.

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, and he embarrassedly took his hand away from the letter of appointment.

If in the 21st century, a group of companies were vying for him to join, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother would definitely be extremely happy. As for now, even he himself shows no interest.

Opening the white and yellow letter of appointment, the first thing I saw was the word sacrifice written in gold font.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed dumbly and said, How can I do a sacrifice?

Sacrifice is mainly to educate the underachievers and improve the knowledge reserve of the temple. In other words, you can study mathematical knowledge with peace of mind...

Although the study of mathematics and science mentioned earlier was Cheng Jinzhou's excuse, after being in this world for so long, the only thing that can make him stand out is the knowledge of mathematics and science. Somehow, Cheng Jinzhou really wants to do some serious research. , just like what parents expect.

Father Li Zhong looked at classmate Xiao Cheng's face and added more emphasis: The Xingzhou Star Warlock Headquarters has sent people to Daxia. After inspection, it is very likely that you will be appointed as the apostle of the Holy Temple Daxia. Once successful, , you will be able to use Daxia’s resources at will.”

apostle?

The one favored by God. Li Zhong affirmed: The people sent by the Xingzhou Temple only need to confirm the stability of your star line and prove your piety to the Star God. Of course, during this period, you have better Able to communicate with more celestial bodies.”

A very stable star line, in theory, it may be connected by chance. Although Li Zhong tested it once with his exclusive star array, the attitude of Xingzhou Temple is obviously more cautious.

Cheng Jinzhou was still hesitating when customer service 010 suddenly popped up and asked: How powerful is the Holy Church in your world?

Not bad. Cheng Jinzhou avoided Li Zhong's gaze, turned his back and moved his lips.

How much is it?

In my country, it's about one in five.

Country? Customer Service 010 was stunned for a moment, then replied: Backward areas, please agree to come down.

Cheng Jinzhou said differently: Promise what?

Become an apostle. Customer Service 010's voice said unquestionably: Being able to use the resources of a region at will is the biggest thing you can do for the Star Alliance, isn't it?

But he only invited sacrifices, and the apostles painted cakes to satisfy their hunger. I don't know how far it is from Xingzhou to Daxia. In short, it is somewhere in the far west. It is normal to walk for two or three years.

No matter what their conditions are, I can help you achieve them. As for the time issue, I have seen the airship you use. It will be very fast if you use it.

Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said, Have you been monitoring me?

Don't ask such childish questions, promise him. Customer Service 010's voice was unusually stern.

Cheng Jinzhou moved his lips slightly and said, I promised Warlock An Fengxing.

Did he do you any favors?

There may be...

What you hold in your hand belongs to you, promise him.

It's not all a cakewalk. Cheng Jinzhou muttered, but in fact he quite trusted the customer service 010's choice. At least for him, there was no loss. Except for the fact that he had just promised An Fengxing Warlock and then regretted it.

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Cheng Jinzhou read the appointment letter again and said, Mr. Li Zhong, I have decided to accept this appointment.

Great. Li Zhong clapped his hands happily, startling the Star Warlock apprentice in the distance. They looked at each other not knowing what was going on.

Customer Service 010 seemed to be in a good mood and urged Cheng Jinzhou energetically: Hurry up and buy the books and try to upgrade to Star Alliance Level 4 in the near future. In fact, if you are not ready to copy, we will end it soon. You can consider it.

I'm very busy. Cheng Jinzhou ignored what he said and said, Hou Wenwu doesn't even know where he has gone. How can I feel at ease?

Customer Service 010 did not settle the matter, Li Zhong had already grabbed Cheng Jinzhou and whispered: Mr. Cheng, please come back with me, lest some high-level star warlocks come and cause trouble again.

The Holy Church does not have a fourth-level star warlock in Daxia, but the reputation of the Xingzhou headquarters makes high-level star warlocks worry a lot.

You must ensure that my current interests are not damaged. Cheng Jinzhou stood up and followed Li Zhong, and said again.

Don't worry, it will only be more, not less. Li Zhong was in a good mood, and there was a foreign flavor in his words.
