Volume 3 New World Chapter 4 Miracles
The prince in prison fell into a long silence.
He looked at the guard not far away and whispered:
"I have to know who you are, or I can't trust you."
"I killed that priest and I will never be compatible with the temple. That's all you need." Marvin said quickly.
"Then what is your purpose? To overthrow the temple? There is no !"
Aragorn was becoming more and more confused.
The man in the shadow seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. In this small world, he had never heard of this person.
"If you really want to know, you must show your sincerity in cooperation."
Marvin whispered, "If you are willing to cooperate, I might as well tell you my origins."
"Cooperation?" Aragorn smiled bitterly: "Do you really think that you can overthrow the temple with just a few masters?"
"Why not?" Marvin asked back.
"The power of the Temple is deeply rooted. Since my grandfather's generation, Nottingham has been preparing to weaken the power of the Shadow Temple. My father once had such a wish as well."
Having said this, he paused.
Marvin's mind raced, and he understood something in an instant: "Rebels."
Aragorn nodded slightly: "To be honest, with all the management and arrangements we have made over the years, it is not impossible for us to fight the Temple to the death."
“But the temple is more than just a temple.”
"The one standing behind the temple is God."
"Although His Majesty Shadow has not performed miracles for a long time, he is still here. The fate of this land has been determined. We are all God's people, and we cannot defy his will."
Marvin looked at Prince Aragorn with some amusement.
Although the prince is over thirty years old, he still looks very young and handsome.
As one of the strongest people in this plane, he obviously saw farther than ordinary people.
"There is a secret library in Nottingham Palace," Aragorn whispered. "I visited it when I was very young."
"So I know that this world is far from what the temple said. This world is very big, and the Pusen world is just a tiny part of the vast world."
"Those gods we worship are just more powerful than us. I have known this for a long time, and many people know this, so we will resist."
"But once the miracle comes, no one will be able to stop the Shadow Temple."
"We don't have any hope."
The prince's tone was filled with frustration.
However, at this moment, that voice sounded confidently:
"What if I can kill the god you mentioned in this world?"
…
In the Dongji Snow Mountain, in the Great Temple of Shadows.
Daily prayers are still going on.
Capella silently chanted God’s teachings, but for some reason, she felt somewhat uneasy today.
Maybe it’s because of what happened yesterday.
Senior priest Dana was assassinated in Baixiang City!
She was well aware of Dana's strength, and no one could kill her without Prince Aragon's intervention.
Even the remnants of the rebels do not have such ability.
Who is it?
Such doubts emerged in her mind .
However, at this moment, a circle of dark halo suddenly descended on the cold stone statue!
Capella’s eyes widened in disbelief. She raised her head in great piety and shouted the name of God!
In an instant, the holy power of shadow descended from the sky and enveloped the entire Dongji Great Snow Mountain.
On the streets of the royal capital beneath the snow-capped mountains, everyone was watching all this in bewilderment.
Just then, someone screamed, "Miracle!"
Everyone knelt down and worshiped.
Some people had tears in their eyes.
Some people are at a loss.
More people just knelt down numbly and prayed for God's protection.
In the palace, the elderly king walked out of the palace step by step, supported by a girl with a delicate face.
He looked at the shadows on the snow-capped mountains, tears streaming down his face.
Many people around him knelt down, except the king and the girl.
"Nono. I'm sorry for your brother." The king burst into tears.
The girl remained silent.
The shadow lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.
A dark rain fell from the sky, and everyone in the royal capital could feel the great power contained in it!
In the slums, there was an elderly person who was seriously ill. After being drenched by the rain, he immediately recovered some of his strength.
Bathed in these black raindrops, everyone's physical and mental state was slightly improved.
In the Shadow Temple, a cry suddenly rang out that resounded through everyone's hearts:
“Father God!”
"Father God!" Most people in the royal capital shouted loudly.
In the palace, the old king fell to the ground in a mess, but the girl was still standing there.
She looked at the cold shadow in the sky and whispered:
"If he is really the father, why would he exploit his child like this?"
This sentence was not original to her.
It was written in a book she read when she was young. That book was a royal secret, and her brother secretly showed it to her.
The book was at least a hundred years old, and the author's name and title were very strange.
So much so that even now, she still remembers it vividly.
Bacon, the plane traveler.
…
The miracle in the royal capital shocked the entire Kingdom of Nottingham within a day.
People's gradually wavering faith became even firmer.
Following this miracle, the next day, the High Priest of the Shadow Temple claimed to have received an oracle from God the Father!
This oracle spread throughout the kingdom at the fastest speed, reaching everyone's ears through the ubiquitous churches and priests in the Shadow Temple.
The oracle reads as follows:
Just a few days ago, evil heretics from another dimension descended on the Pousen plane.
These evil heretics are here to destroy the world.
And the place where they landed was the White Elephant City in the north of the kingdom!
The Temple must catch these evil heretics and kill them!
All of a sudden, Baixiang City was once again pushed to the forefront.
In addition to the two high-ranking priests, High Priest Capella dispatched another 500 third-rank temple knights and two high-ranking priests to White Elephant City!
…
At the same time, the prison car carrying Prince Aragon also arrived at the royal capital on the same day.
A rumor spread among the people that the prince was not only having an affair with the rebels, but was also colluding with those evil visitors from another world.
All this, coupled with the miracle that had occurred a few days ago, made even most of the ordinary people who sympathized with and admired the prince begin to distrust Aragorn.
They began to wait and see.
There is an undercurrent in the royal capital.
The moment the prince's prison car entered the city gate, everyone was called together to watch the prince enter the city.
Their eyes were cold and merciless, as if they were looking at a real sinner.
The last time he returned to the capital was when he recaptured White Elephant City which had been occupied by the rebels for three years. He came back to accept the reward from the temple and the kingdom!
Such a huge contrast, even though Prince Aragon had already prepared himself mentally, a trace of sadness still flashed in his eyes.
The prison car drove along the straight King's Road, passed by the royal palace, and headed directly to the Dongji Snow Mountain.
There, the prince will be judged by the temple!
The High Priest, Lord Capella, will personally preside over this trial. Under the gaze of the Father God's messenger, no pagan can escape the final punishment!
The team kept moving forward.
The people remained silent, watching their once beloved prince walk toward the judgment hall of destruction.
At the foot of the white marble staircase, High Priest Capella had been waiting for a long time.
Her eyes were cold as she stared at the prince in the prison car.
Aragorn looked dejected.
"Take him to the Hall of Judgement."
The black-robed high priest said coldly.
Immediately, the knights on both sides untied the chains of the prison cart and dragged the half-dead prince out alive.
Most people in the crowd couldn't bear to watch any further.
They turned their heads away.
The nobles of the entire kingdom were all there, except for the Nottingham royal family, none of them were present.
A sense of pride welled up in Capela’s heart.
This world is, after all, God’s world.
She raised her chin and said to the distraught prince with contempt:
“No matter how high an ant jumps, it is still an ant after all.”
…
In the inner courtyard of the palace, in a small courtyard.
The girl sat alone on the swing, silently listening to the report from the maid beside her:
"Your Highness, the result of Prince Aragon's trial has come out."
“Capella-sama personally convicted me.”
Having said this, the maid paused slightly, as if she couldn't bear to continue.
"Speak." The princess' tone was calm.
"It's a third-degree felony. Considering the prince's meritorious service in battles over the years, the crime will be reduced by one degree."
"Originally it was supposed to be seven days of divine fire punishment... but now it has been changed to three days."
"In three days."
Bang!
One of the ropes of the swing broke, but the princess stood up unharmed.
"I understand. Go ahead."
The maid looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess at a loss, but under her determined gaze, she finally left.
The girl was the only one left in the empty courtyard.
"Come out."
"A swing can't break for no reason."
The princess said lightly.
"Your brother said you are very smart." Marvin's figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the swing.
"But I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted."
"Rebels? Pagans?" Her eyes were clear.
"Is it important?" Marvin asked back.
"It doesn't matter." Princess Nono said softly: "What is your purpose?"
Marven said nothing, took out a ring and handed it over.
For the first time, there was a fluctuation in her eyes.
"Are you my brother's confidant? Why haven't I seen you before ?" she asked cautiously.
"Some people are meant to stay in the shadows."
Marvin did not explain: "If Prince Aragon dies, the Nottingham royal family will be in even greater danger. He is ready to give it a try. What do you think?"
The girl looked at the ring affectionately:
"My brother's opinion is my opinion."
Ma Wen clapped his hands: "Okay."
"Send the invitations. Tomorrow night, you must hold a banquet or a dance in the palace and invite some people..."
"Of course, there are other things that you need to do."
