Duan Tao sighed, forget it! It's useless to think so much!

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Duan Tao shook his head, "Nothing! I remembered some troublesome things! By the way, Prince, has the god you believe in shown up?"

Xi Yingtuo frowned and shook his head, "Not yet! I hope he doesn't show up!"

Duan Tao smiled and nodded, "By the way, who is the god you believe in?"

Xiyingtuo said: "They are a clan, a clan of gods! We call them the Ximan clan of gods, and the name of our empire is also derived from this!"

The Ximan Clan is one of the Celestial Clan of Gods, just like the Clan of Light believed in by the Papal State. The teachings of all the Clan of Gods can be said to be sacred, but these are just their means to deceive believers. Zeus once said, '

In the eyes of God, the believers are nothing more than the cattle and sheep they raise.

The Ximan Protoss only has followers in the Ximan Empire on the Lanling Continent. There are Ximan temples built in various parts of the Ximan Empire to worship the Ximan gods, which are similar to those gods in Chinese legends on earth.

Among the Ximan Protoss, there are those who are in charge of order and law, some who are in charge of rivers and lakes, some who are in charge of people's destiny, etc. In short, they all perform their own duties, just like a rigorous bureaucracy that manages the country. The way other gods spread their beliefs is also similar to

Similar to.

While Duan Tao and Xi Yingtuo were talking, a guard officer hurried in.

"Your Highness, the great priest of the temple has summoned you!"

Xi Yingtuo frowned, "It seems that there is an oracle!" He said to Duan Tao, "Little brother, come with me!"

"Me? Is it appropriate for me to go? Haha, I am a dragon soul after all!"

Xi Yingtuo smiled and said: "You are also the Han lord of our Heman Empire and the commander of the Dragon Guard Corps!"

Duan Tao nodded.

On the way to the temple, Xiyingtuo's carriage, surrounded by hundreds of armored guards, slowly headed towards the temple outside the city. The temple is located a few miles east of Torret City and is located on a tall hill.

The vast plains give people a solemn and majestic feeling.

"Your Highness, is this temple used to worship the Ximan gods?" Duan Tao asked.

Xi Yingtuo nodded, "Yes! But not only that, it is also responsible for the theological education of the people of the empire! When our royal family reaches the age of fifteen, they must be sent to the temple to study for one year!"

Duan Tao smiled and nodded, "Start from the child!"

The two exchanged meaningful glances.

Xi Yingtuo asked curiously: "Little brother, I would like to ask, what god does your dragon soul believe in? There are rumors that the dragon soul comes from a different space?"

Duan Tao thought for a while, "We Dragon Souls do not believe in any gods. We are different from most races! We believe in heroes, not gods! In our legends, those heroes who have passed away are gods!" Duan Tao

What is said is not nonsense. Some scholars have said that the Chinese nation is different from other peoples.

There is one very different thing about the ethnic groups. Other ethnic groups, whether in the Christian world or the Islamic world, worship gods, but the Chinese nation has always worshiped heroes. Some people speculate that this is the reason why many ancient kings could not tolerate heroes.

, the appeal that a hero has is terrifying.

Xi Yingtuo and Yin Kui couldn't help being surprised. This was unimaginable for them.

The team arrived at the foot of the Temple Mountain. Duan Tao, Xi Yingtuo, and Yin Kui got off the carriage, and a magnificent scene appeared in front of them. The hills were tall and steep, and there was only a winding and steep staircase leading to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain was a magnificent

The marble building sits like a rock, with a dome-like halo covering it, showing a special majesty under the sunlight. From the bottom of the mountain road to the top, there are two people dressed in white every ten meters on both sides.

A girl in a robe stood waiting.

Duan Tao chuckled and said to himself: 'This magician is called a professional!'

Xi Yingtuo said solemnly: "It seems that our previous speculation was correct! Let's go up!"

At this moment, another carriage bearing the royal emblem was speeding up, supported by a group of armored guards, followed by another carriage.

The carriage stopped next to Duan Tao and the other three, and Princess Xixi, who had not been seen for a long time, stepped out of the carriage accompanied by her teacher Talon.

Princess Xixi couldn't help but be startled when she saw Duan Tao, a complicated expression flashed in her eyes. Her eyes turned to Xi Yingtuo, Yingying saluted: "Uncle!"

Xi Yingtuo smiled and said, "Qian'er doesn't have to be polite!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe got off the carriage from behind, nodded slightly to the prince, "Prince!"

Xi Yingtuo laughed and said: "I heard that the ghost master has captured Xi'er's heart. I wonder when you will hold the wedding?" It turned out that the ghost master who came with Princess Xi Qian turned out to be the ghost master known as the patron saint of the Heman Empire.

However, the status of this ghost master is now

After being seriously challenged by Duan Tao and Yaqin, Duan Tao's reputation has been vaguely overshadowing the ghost masters in the previous battle in the Uncanny Valley. Of course, in terms of power in the He-Man Empire, Duan Tao is far inferior to the ghost masters.

After all, decades of operation are no small matter.

The ghost master smiled proudly. Although Xixi looked normal, there was clearly a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes.

Duan Tao glanced at Xixi and said in a voice that only Xixi could hear: "Is it worth using yourself as a bargaining chip?"

Xixi couldn't help but be startled and looked at Duan Tao.

A trace of confusion and weakness flashed in Xixi's eyes, and then she snorted coldly, leading her two maids up the stairs first, accompanied by her teacher Talon.

Duan Tao looked at Xixi's back and couldn't help but shook his head, feeling very sad for this girl who was carrying a heavy burden.

The ghost master came to Duan Tao and asked with a vigilant look: "What did you say to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Duan Tao glanced at him and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master Ghost Master! I heard that you are going to be the Prince Consort?"

The ghost master smiled proudly.

Duan Tao then said loudly: "But men can be lustful, but they can't be shameless! Old man, don't you think it's shabby to marry a young girl at such an old age?" Then he ignored the ghost master and joined the prince and others.

Go up the stairs.

The ghost master's face turned green and white in turns, looking like he was angry and angry, but he couldn't get angry. His whole face looked like he was constipated, and he was panicking.

"Little brother, what you said is very exciting, aren't you?" Xi Yingtuo said with a smile. Yin Kui, who followed closely behind, also had a smile on his face.

Duan Tao sneered: "I can't stand this kind of person! A man threatens a woman! He's just a bastard and a waste!"

Princess Xixi's expression was very complicated, with a sense of venting pleasure and a helpless sadness. Talon couldn't help but sigh in his heart and whispered: "Your Highness, in fact, there is still room for change now!"

Princess Xixi couldn't help showing a confused look.

Everyone came to the temple on the top of the mountain and felt the unique majesty even more closely. There was a row of maids standing outside the temple. They were all wearing white robes as they had seen before, looking holy and beautiful.

Everyone stopped in front of the temple, and then an older maid came out from the gate and bowed to everyone, "The great priest invites you to come into the temple to listen to the oracle!"

Everyone entered the main hall under the guidance of the maid. The ceiling was sky-shaped and very high. The main hall was very empty. There was only a towering statue of a god more than ten meters high in the center. It was the image of a man, very handsome and majestic. There was a tall statue in front of the statue.

On the altar, a woman in white robe stood on the high altar with her back to everyone. Judging from her figure, she was probably quite young.

Under the guidance of the maid, everyone stopped in front of the high altar, and then the maid stepped aside.

After everyone waited for a moment, the woman on the high altar turned around and saw an old woman with gray hair and a childish face. Her expression was very solemn and pious. She should be the so-called great priest.

The high priest glanced at everyone and held up a scroll-like object in his left hand.

Everyone immediately knelt down when they saw this. Duan Tao also knelt down when he saw this. He didn't want to kneel down to anyone.

The high priest glanced at Duan Tao and said nothing. Then he threw the scroll into the air. An astonishing light suddenly emitted from the hall, and then a huge image appeared. It was a giant, just like the one behind him.

Like a god statue.

Seeing this scene, Duan Tao couldn't help but be surprised, while the others bowed down with pious expressions.

The huge and majestic voice echoed, as if it had a soul-shaking power, and even a person like Duan Tao couldn't help but feel shaken.

"Link the Serdan believers to attack the people who were fooled by the Light Gods and save those lost lambs!"

Princess Xiyingtuo and Xixi respectfully said: "Follow the oracle closely!"

The image said again: "As long as you have faith in your heart, you can be invincible! Remember, I am with you!" The image disappeared.

Duan Tao sneered.

Everyone stood up.

Xi Yingtuo said to Xi Qian: "Jihad is the biggest thing, I think we should put aside our grudge against each other!"

Princess Xixi nodded, "That should be the case! I'll take my leave first! If the emperor wants to discuss anything, just send someone to summon him!" Xi Yingtuo nodded.

Princess Xixi paid Xiyingtuo the courtesy of a junior and left with her men. When passing by Duan Tao, she glanced at Duan Tao, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

On the carriage back to the city.

"Your Highness, are we going to take action against the Papal State?" Duan Tao asked, looking a little excited. Duan Tao and the Papal State have a deep hatred, and he hopes that it will never be restored.

Xi Yingtuo nodded, "Little brother! I think you'd better return to the camp immediately to prepare for war!"

Duan Tao nodded.

Xi Yingtuo remembered something, "By the way! I promised to reward my little brother before!"

Duan Tao smiled, waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! But it would be better if there is one!"

Xi Yingtuo laughed, took out a document and handed it to Duan Tao.

Duan Tao read it over and couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise: "The imperial court will provide me with 2 billion bis to build an army?!"

Xi Yingtuo smiled and nodded, "In addition, there is enough equipment to form 30,000 elite infantry and 5,000 elite cavalry!"

Duan Tao laughed, clasped his fists towards Xiyingtuo and said, "Then I would like to thank His Highness the Prince!"
Chapter completed!
