13 Mink Street

After hearing what the whipman said, Dinah immediately put down everything in her hands, not to prepare for the lottery, but put her hands behind her back, bowed her head and took two steps back, expressing fear and resistance.

In order to amuse his daughter Ankara, the God of Order asked her to write the name of any fallen god on the bookmark.

This story is clearly recorded in Symmetra.

But Dinah knew that she was not Ankara, she was just an adopted daughter, and the relationship between her father, the high priest, and the whipman did not belong to the traditional positive relationship, so she had already vaguely guessed her father's ending.

Besides, the ending of Ankara is not beautiful.

The high priest ignored Dina who was trembling beside him, but looked at the whip bearer with deep eyes.

Foden was bent over, motionless.

This was an extremely intense and exciting exam, but he came with the answer.

After "confirming" Karen's identity as the Son of God, Foden basically had no doubts about the correctness of this answer.

It's just that the person holding the whip is worthy of being the person holding the whip. After a normal person gets the correct answer, he can't help but rush to hand in the paper. He also paid attention to the neatness and format of the paper, and made beautification and decoration.

The silence was broken by the high priest after a short period of time.

"Perhaps, I should get to know you again, Foden."

"I've followed you for so long, if I don't make some progress, I can't forgive myself."

The great priest: "You can see this layer, I didn't expect it."

Foden: "..."

"I can understand their hesitation and fear. I know that they are loyal to me and devout to order, but what we are facing is a major change that has never occurred in this era.

They should have understood earlier that any hesitation is meaningless. Not only do we have no way out, we will not even be able to retain our right to stand still.

Because a long time ago, our predecessors had already replaced us and bet everything.

They made themselves a bet, and we were part of the bet. "

Foden: "..."

The whipman really wanted to answer the question. He knew that according to the boss's habit, someone should give the word to cooperate at this time, but now, the disadvantage of only knowing the answer but not the principle of solving the problem has emerged.

Like playing a guessing game, Foden can only agree with the high priest's description, but if he agrees wrongly, the ending will be miserable.

The high priest picked up the cigar and handed it to Foden, who took it respectfully.

"Sometimes it is not the enemy that breaks us, but our own cowardice."

Foden: "Yes, courage is important."

"No matter how powerful the enemy is, we should do what we should do, because we don't know when the enemy will come, it may be faced by us, or it may be faced by our next generation .

I don't want our next generation to blame us at that time. At this time, they only care about panic instead of adding one more weapon and one more material for them.

I believe that our next generation is wise and responsible. "

Foden: "Yes, I believe that the next generation has enough courage."

"If they are really powerful, why did they wait until now for signs of their return? In the final analysis, they are just a group of defeated dogs that were kicked out of the kennel. Now they are barking loudly through the courtyard wall, and they seem to be very powerful. of."

Foden: "Please rest assured, we, the Cult of Order, have enough courage to block them out forever."

The high priest threw a stack of bookmarks on the coffee table, and said to Dina:

"Smoking here, if no one sees it, it's boring. When the time comes to hold a public banquet, come and smoke."

Dinah instinctively wanted to shake her head and refuse, but was driven to nod by a deeper instinct:

"Okay, great priest."

The high priest smiled and said, "I heard that you made that Ka Lunli your successor, and called Kreid and the others to testify to you?"

Foden breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the subject. Finally, he didn't have to continue chewing back and forth on the safe word "courage".

"Yes, I reported to you, you said, he is little Foden."

"Hehehe, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry. Why, is there no way to control the cold poison in your body?"

Foden lowered his head, neither confirmed nor denied, but said: "Please rest assured, work will not be delayed."

"It's a pity, he has a fiancée, otherwise our Dinah..."

Dana blushed in time.

The high priest seemed to be deliberately amusing and asked: "It's interesting, isn't it?"

When he wants to keep a distance from you, you can't be intimate; when he wants to experience the relationship between father and daughter, you need to respond in time.

Everyone around him needs to match his feelings and preferences. No one can influence him, only he can influence others.

Dinah pursed her lips and said, "I really like it, she looks good-looking and capable, it's just..."

"What is it?"

Dinah wanted to say that she just didn't know how to be considerate.

But she realized that she couldn't reply like that, otherwise the high priest would hear that she was alluding to him.

Although in Dai Na's eyes, Karen and the high priest are really similar, they will treat you very kindly, especially Karen is very decent in dealing with people, but before you know it, any behavior of yours will start to cooperate His life and work preferences.

"...It's just that we met too late."

"Hahaha, you, you, since I have a marriage contract, forget it, which family is the marriage contract partner?"

Foden immediately replied: "It's a small family in decline in the York City area."

"Ben taught?"

"No, it's the family belief system."

"Oh, that's what helped him before, didn't it?"

"Yes, that family wanted Karen to be the head of the family."

"Hehe, I have a good vision. Forget it, don't spoil it. It's not good for his reputation, and the in-laws of a small down-and-out family are very suitable for him now.

If he married a woman from a big family, or got together with our Dinah, I'm afraid that he would be removed from the list overnight at the temple, which would be bad. "

"The temple is preparing to focus on contacting him, because they just contacted me today."

"Is it because of your actions?"

"Yes. It should be my actions, which increased the temple's recognition of Karen."

"Let it go, the temple has been suppressed, and we can't even give them the right to call out a few times. The elders of the temple also want to save face. They should be coaxed or coaxed. Anyway, they are quite easy to coax. "

"I'll tell him."

"It's not necessary, just let it be."

"Yes, great priest."

"Okay, you all go back, I will read a book quietly by myself."

The whipman and Dinah leave.

In the middle area of ​​the circulation, Norton was the only one sitting there.

He picked up the novel that had been turned upside down before, and turned a page. After reading it for a while, all the path light strips in the central area of ​​the office temple went out, and the high priest's office work for today was over.

The high priest stood up from behind the desk, came to the circulation area, walked up to Norton, picked up the wine glass, poured it for himself, and took a sip.

A smile appeared on the corner of Norton's mouth, and he looked up at the "high priest" standing in front of him.

The high priest shook the wine glass lightly and said, "Norton, your struggles are all in vain."

Norton didn't take it seriously: "If it's really futile, then I should be standing and you should be sitting."

"I've been sitting in the office for a long time, I'm tired, and I want to stand for a while."

"You can do whatever you want." Norton turned the page again.

"Are you curious, no matter how you suppress it or what extreme measures you take, you can't suppress my constant increase in your body?"

"I'm not curious. You are a god, the great and honorable Lord Tiranus. I think it's normal for any wonderful and impossible things to happen to you."

"Then why do you still resist?"

"You are Lord Tiranus, but it doesn't affect my name being Norton."

Norton closed the book, picked up the cigar, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. The smoke between the two was blocked, and the vision appeared blurred, as if the person opposite him was no longer himself, but the one in the mural. dignity.

The high priest said: "The great Lord is coming back."

"I respect him as the great lord, but I think that the great lord should return to his original position."

"My lord, I'm tired."

"He is great, how can he be tired?"

"This is the inevitable process of the era."

"I only know that in this world, nothing is inevitable. If the era really has such established rules, then in the last era, the God of Eternity will not be lost; in the last era, the light The gods will not fall; in this era, the gods will not come out.

The inevitability you speak of means that relying on your own strength, you can more easily create the results you want? "

"The return of the gods is irresistible, Norton, do you really want to lead a church of order without gods to face the church circle that has regained the seat of gods?"

"I believe that I can do it, and I also believe in the Cult of Kosmos, I believe in order, and I can do it."

"The results of it?"

"Idealists often don't care much about results."

"Norton, you will take the Cult of Order and go back to the old path of light. Thousands of years later, you will be the mad priest in the history of Order."

"You actually know what happened a thousand years ago. It seems that you have already read my memory."

"Norton, I chose you."

"Thank you, I have always been proud and proud that I was picked by you."

"We could have had an excellent situation, the prelude to the return of the gods kicked off, and my lord must be the first returning god, because my lord is the closest to this era.

You will be the high priest of the god religion, and I can even assist you. We will make all the preparations together. When my lord returns, this world, this era, must still abide by the regulations of order. "

Norton sighed, and said with emotion: "But, such a clean era, why should it be dirty?"

"That's what I can't understand about you, Norton."

"This is normal, because you are Tiranus, not Tiranus, you are just a part of Lord Tiranus, you are broken, lacking, and your arrival is just to remind me to teach you to do it in advance. Just prepare.

If the real Lord Tyranus comes, I think he will understand me.

because I believe

Sir Tiranus, who founded the Cult of Symmetra and wrote Symmetra himself, must also be an idealist. He and his companions, those adults, including my lord, were the same back then, you, yes A bunch of idealists. "

"Oh, so..."

"Yes."

"That doesn't affect you releasing me now, I can help you make better preparations."

Norton put down the book in his hand, leaned back against the sofa.

The high priest said again: "Our contradiction is only in the method and process, but the result we want is the same."

"Is it consistent? Lord Tiranus, do you know what idealists fear most?"

"You can say your answer."

"What I'm most afraid of is... going bad."

The high priest was silent.

Norton continued: "Is the result we expected really the same? I don't dare to think so, why did it happen to me secretly, why didn't I inform the church in the first place.

Yes, the church generally does not want the Son of God to be too close to the core of power, but your identity is different. You are Tiranus, and you will bring the most direct prophecy of the return of the gods, and you will lead the Cult of Order to do it the first time. Prepare to welcome the return of our great Lord.

I don't like our Temple of Order very much. In my eyes, there is too much corruption and arrogance gathered there, but even I can't deny that our Temple can clearly distinguish between priority and priority on this issue. of;

The Holy See, and the various factions of the Holy See, in the face of this situation, I think they can also let go of their prejudices and take the initiative to join and cooperate.

In short, if you, Tiranus, had descended in the normal way, I would have had decades to make practical advance preparations!

Lord Tyranus,

You...and you, really don't hate my lord?

you now,

Are you trying to protect the Cult of Kosmos?

Or,

You are the first ones who want to see it perish? "

The high priest didn't speak, he looked left and right, as if he had changed into a different person;

He patted his forehead and asked: "So, did I get lost just now? His influence is getting heavier and heavier, and I can control the avatar now."

"Um."

"What now?" the high priest asked.

"See if it can be traced back to, you commit suicide."

"Okay." The high priest put his hand in front of his body, and the next moment, he stabbed directly into his chest, and began to strangle the vitality in his body, "You have to pay more attention to your body."

"I will."

"Then goodbye."

"goodbye."

The high priest committed suicide, and his body began to dissipate, but in this dissipated area, a black hole suddenly appeared, and a desperately dark space was reflected in the black hole.

Norton straightened his back, leaned forward, and looked there.

When his eyes came into contact with the pitch-black reflection, a flame appeared on his body, burning him.

Norton took out a box from under the coffee table. After opening the box, he took out a badge, a bell, and an arrow in sequence.

These are three soul artifacts, they do not have artifact spirits, and they are extremely clean.

As the high priest of the Cult of Order, he still has this privilege.

At this time, the three artifacts were revived, forming three colors to protect Norton.

But even so, the three artifacts began to tremble violently.

Artifacts without spirits will not be able to exert their full power after all, and the picture I want to see is a taboo that is not allowed.

Finally, in the darkness, an existence that does not belong to this environment appeared.

It is a huge silver cross, a person, with both arms nailed to it, and the body hangs naturally.

Norton stood up, and a round of closed eyes appeared from above his head.

"The Eye of Order..."

When the eyes are opened, the crucified man in the picture becomes clear.

The pressure to look directly at God appeared on Norton, but he still stood there firmly.

Although he cannot look directly at God, whether he accepts it or not, he is the son of God Tiranus.

He saw blood dripping, gathering into a pool of despair;

He saw terrible cracks all over the withered god's body;

He saw that the withered godhood was full of tiny holes eaten by moths;

He felt endless desolation and despair.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

Wisps of blood dripped from the corners of Norton's eyes.

But the corners of his mouth raised an uncontrollable arc.

This is Tyranus, Tyranus crucified.

Who would have thought that the founder of the Cult of Kosmos would be subjected to such torture for as long as an era!

In addition to the God of Order, he is the god who left the most murals in the Cult of Order, and is considered by most followers of Order to be the first branch of God in the Cult.

This is the end of the first branch of the religion... This is his current situation.

"Hehe...hehe...hahahaha..."

Norton laughed, more and more blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his soul was bearing the price of being melted, but he wanted to keep this scene as long as possible.

As the high priest of the God of Order and the inheritor of Tiranus, in front of this picture, he did not feel chilled, angry and wronged, he felt refreshed, and even further deepened his love for the God of Order. piety.

You said, you want to create a new world that you want, I saw it, you made all the gods who followed you into sacrifices.

Originally, Norton believed that he believed in order, not God, but now he wanted to praise God.

"Praise my lord, praise... the great God of Order."

Norton folded his arms and saluted.

The black hole in front of him was finally unable to continue.

The moment before the black hole dissipates,

Tiranus, who was nailed to the huge and majestic cross, suddenly raised his head. He is no longer a symbol of wisdom and calmness in the murals of the divine religion. At this moment, his eyes are red and his expression is ferocious. He let out an angry roar:

"order!!!"
