Chapter 353: Four Great Elements, the Two Cardinals
The wheels began to turn. The frightened horse, after being calmed, started pulling the carriage again.
*Rumble—scrape—*
The wheels made a faint scraping sound as they moved across the ground.
But the blond youth found the faint sound, which he had never noticed before, somewhat grating. His gaze, fearful and tense, shifted to the other two people in the carriage.
"This place is too big. I got lost just now, Tang." "Black" Pavel sat ramrod straight, his way of speaking a bit formal.
It was as if he were explaining himself to Tang Zheng and the blond youth.
Lost?
To be able to pinpoint this carriage and stop it—how could that possibly be getting lost!
The blond youth's cheek twitched. Normally, he would have reprimanded him, but the thought of the man's terrifying, dangerous eyes made him press his lips shut.
A single glance was enough to frighten a well-trained horse into immobility. It even gave him, a Faith Caster who could use Third Tier magic, a suffocating sense of death.
This was definitely not the kind of gaze and aura a common warrior could cultivate!
"Is that so."
Tang Zheng put on a surprised expression. "Then come with me for now, Pavel."
Hearing this, the blond youth's expression changed. Unable to remain silent any longer, he had to speak up. "Um, Lord Tang."
"I am acting under the Cardinal's orders to invite you to discuss an important matter. This Mr. Pavel is not part of the invitation."
"Black" Pavel's mask covered most of his face, revealing no emotion. "So there is something important. I wonder if you could lead me to my Holy Kingdom's contingent."
"I must refuse. A matter like this..."
The blond youth met that pair of sharp, narrow eyes, bracing himself and forcing a firm demeanor.
His current priority was to lead Tang Zheng to the meeting place. How could he have time to help this man find the Holy Kingdom's contingent!
"Then just let Pavel wait in the carriage."
Tang Zheng said to the blond youth with a smile, then turned to Pavel. "How about it?"
"That's fine." "Black" Pavel nodded.
"After the incident at the Abelion Hills ended last time, you left in a hurry. Was it about your wife?"
Tang Zheng sighed softly and spoke in a consoling tone.
"To die fighting the Undead... as a Paladin, it was her destiny and her pride." "Black" Pavel shook his head, a trace of sorrow flashing deep in his eyes.
Watching them make decisions on their own, leaving him completely unable to interject, and now they were even discussing the great deeds of that incident in the hills.
The blond youth opened his mouth, but ultimately fell silent.
In the course of his conversation with Pavel, Tang Zheng had basically figured out the Holy Kingdom's intentions.
*Are they trying to sound out my thoughts?*
Tang Zheng understood inwardly.
Intercepting the carriage must have been a last resort.
On the Slane Theocracy's home turf, there weren't many methods the Holy Kingdom could use.
"Black" Pavel was familiar with him, so the purpose of sending him was simply to further ascertain his attitude. Whether or not he invited Pavel into the carriage was the answer.
The carriage finally came to a stop before a Temple.
The blond youth lifted the carriage curtain and respectfully led Tang Zheng out. "Black" Pavel, however, remained in the carriage.
This was a massive temple.
The first thing that came into view was a towering, two-tiered staircase. Each tier had eleven steps, and the sides were adorned with sheaves of rice and flowers. A prominent, brown, diamond-shaped pattern with a striped design was visible.
This proved it was the Temple of the Earth God, one of the Six Great Gods!
"Lord Tang, my task was to bring you here. I am not qualified to enter."
The blond youth bowed respectfully and said softly, "From here, they will guide you."
Sure enough.
Two priests in clerical robes, with brown holy symbols on their chests, were already waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Tang Zheng said gently, a barely perceptible smile on his face as he looked at the solemn and sacred temple before him.
Considering the merits of the Six Great Gods, the Humans of this Otherworld should indeed be eternally grateful, especially the Slane Theocracy, which inherited their legacy.
"Lord Tang."
"Our Cardinal is already waiting inside," one of the two priests spoke first. Although his voice was calm, it held a faint hint of displeasure.
To think a mere Adventurer would make their Cardinal wait.
Tang Zheng's smiling expression didn't change. "Then let's go, you two."
They ascended the steps and entered the Temple.
Along the way.
Tang Zheng noticed many illustrations in the Temple depicting things like shields, blades, and sheaves of wheat. He had recently been cramming "knowledge" about the Six Great Gods.
The Earth God enshrined in this Temple, according to the powers and authorities promoted by the Slane Theocracy, possessed a series of domains such as "Protection," "Forging," and "Harvest."
This information itself was of little significance to Tang Zheng, but through these so-called "domains," he could indirectly analyze the power system of the Six Great Gods.
For instance, the "Earth God" Player, one of the Six Great Gods.
Tang Zheng speculated that he likely had a "meat tank" type of class build, or perhaps even a forging-related class.
The air inside the temple was filled with a special incense scent, similar to beeswax. It was a sacred aura that had never ceased since the Temple's construction!
The incense diffused through the air, combining with the sunlight from the windows to create an ethereal amber color!
The two priests led the way, passing through the Temple's great hall and entering a long, wide corridor before stopping in front of a heavy wooden door.
The two priests stood on either side of the wooden door, silent.
"So, your Cardinal is inside."
Tang Zheng studied the patterned wooden door as if he could see through it, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
The auras of three people.
—And a very familiar fluctuation of holy energy!
An Angel?
The strength of this energy fluctuation was at least Level 40 or higher!
Ever since Tang Zheng obtained the [Dragonkin Transcendent] class, his perceptive abilities seemed to have received a partial boost from a Dragon Lord.
Even with the wooden door as a barrier, he could still faintly hear the sounds of breathing and a dense holy energy from within.
One of them was walking towards the door.
If he were to use 「Ninjutsu: Detect」, he could obtain more precise magical detection information. However, in this situation, he couldn't rashly use such a detection method.
Getting closer!
*Click—creak—*
The heavy, patterned wooden door, which appeared to be three meters tall, was easily pulled open, revealing a wide gap.
The person who appeared was a middle-aged man with a grayish complexion. He was wrapped in a coarse black robe, completely out of place with the Temple's atmosphere.
