Chapter 536 When Confused, Call Sigma
"What to say, Magnus."
Genevieve glanced at the small glasses that still maintained his majesty. He had changed a lot than before. He was no longer the Sigma Priest who only had faith and battle in his mind.
Being the emperor of the empire is much more difficult than imagined. Even with the support of two churches and the huge prestige gained in the great holy war, it is still impossible for a priest who has been a priest for twenty years to get started quickly.
Because of his love for the empire, Magnus would often choose to sacrifice the interests of the Nunn Territory and try to keep the political situation as stable as possible. If it weren't for Imrik's blood transfusions from time to time, he might still be dealing with the aftermath of the Great Holy War.
Magnus seemed very calm and did not respond immediately to Neferata. He turned around and started half-kneeling on the ground, praying to the gods of faith.
His friendship with Imrik made him not want to doubt the trust between his friends, but the duties of the Emperor, and Caledor's infiltration of the Old World over the years, made it difficult for him to insist on this idea.
Since there was such a big conflict between his friend and the emperor, he chose to use the identity of a believer to resolve the matter, just like the night before the great holy war, the gods would always visit the believers and give guidance.
Seeing Magnus start praying, Davian, who was bored, leaned on the stone pillar next to him and turned a deaf ear to Genevieve's inquiry about what the iron box in his hand was, what kind of vampire thing he was holding. He also wanted to know the secret of Caledor, if not It's still of some use, I promise to take it to the basement of the White Tower of Hos for research.
"Noble Sigma, the world is drowning in filth, your empire is in dire straits, faith has collapsed, and evil is rampant..." Magnus began to emit white light. This light was like the purest flame, burning anyone who tried to peek. people.
Davian didn't care to stay where he was. The prince became the leader of the lizard people, and several of his men also took advantage of it. The big toad generously and selflessly shared the knowledge about the wind of magic. The premise is that when using Slann magic, there is no brain. Will explode.
Next to her, Genevieve tightened her black robe to prevent astigmatism from hitting her skin. Even if she could get here, it didn't mean that she could really ignore Sigma's soul flame, not to mention that the person who was praying was The most powerful disciple of Sigmar ever.
Magnus stopped praying, and the gleaming light in his eyes gradually dissipated. Sigmar had given him the answer, and as a devout man, he would abide by it without hesitation.
"Elves, take the Book of Nagash and leave, so that it will never return to the old world."
He stood up slowly. His tall and broad body looked more determined than before. Power would obviously corrode a person's will. Even if it was placed on Magnus, he could still detect it slightly.
After getting Sigma's reply, he undoubtedly transformed back into the brave and fearless priest he once was.
"Sigsmian and Kristef will go to Erengrad with you. Before you kill Katrin, I will also clean up the Lahmian vampires in the empire."
The Dragon Prince showed a satisfied smile. That's right. The Grand Master of the Knights of the Blood of Sigmar, Sigmian, and the Grand Master of the White Wolf Knights, Kristoff, are two knights who protect religious holy places. There is no doubt that It is the most elite force in the empire.
"You are still somewhat of a great jihad leader. Don't be blinded by temporary illusions. This is my advice to you."
While speaking, Davian glanced at Genevieve, whether he was warning Magnus to be careful about this Lahmian blood descendant, or talking about the current political situation.
"Elf, let me give you a piece of advice. The influence of the blood descendants of Lahmia is beyond your imagination. Although I don't know why you want the Book of Nagash, it will cause more disputes." Genevieve I thought of a rumor about how Neferata became a vampire, the Lich Lord Arkhan, the Nagash believer who had fought with the Tomb Kings in Nehekhara for thousands of years.
"Haha, if Nagash comes in person, Caledor may still be wary, but he is just an Arkhan... Vampire, we know more than you think, including who your mistress's lifelong enemy is. "
After Davian saw Neferata's embarrassed expression, he smiled heartily. Since he couldn't kill her, he would use the experience she was most proud of to ridicule her.
Magnus, who was standing in the center, was in no mood to continue arguing with Davian. The oracle had only one sentence to support him.
Not understanding what it meant, he planned to go back and think about it again. The immediate thing was to send away the Book of Nagash.
This thing is a huge hidden danger, and there are countless people who want to steal it. Many of the Blood Knights of Sigmar who are responsible for guarding the temple have been driven crazy by these two evil books that contain the will of the Lord of the Dead.
Entering the business part, Davian also stopped mocking, raised the flat iron box in his hand, and began to introduce the treasure, "The star iron box forged at the core of the Vaal Temple has passed through the Sotek Sect and the Slann Council. With the three-layer reinforcement of the Palace Mage, I only have three chances to open it."
Magnus, who was not going to ask what the key was, nodded and began to page the priests to enter. His eyes signaled Neferata to leave here first. She must not be involved in what happens next.
Twenty bald priests who chanted the name of the twin-tailed comet opened the door and first prayed to Sigma according to the procedure. Then, under the leadership of the high priest, the group walked deeper.
The dim underground passage was filled with oil lamps, and the smell of burning animal fat rushed into Davian's nostrils.
There is no trace of darkness here. Even on the stairs that keep going down, a lamp is placed above the head every two meters. From his perspective, these lamps are probably baptized by religious sacrifices. .
After bypassing several doors and hundreds of meters of passages, passing through multiple checkpoints and traps, several large-caliber cannons were pointed directly at the entrance. The faint and small irregularities in the walls clearly revealed a mystery.
An airtight defense facility is almost as good as the security in the palace basement...
Davian was wondering how many people would be needed if he wanted to force his way in. Humans may lack diversified methods due to their low research on magic, but the Knights of the Blood of Sigmar stationed here are absolute religious fanatics with iron will and fighting skills. , with the support of divine magic and gunpowder, I am afraid that I may not be able to find the Book of Nagash without paying a price.
The closer we got to the destination, the louder the priests' prayers became. Magnus, who was in the front row, had already raised his emerald gryphon, driving away the will of the Lord of the Dead that was always penetrating outward.
When he came to a door with a giant symbol, even Davian couldn't help but admire it.
I'm afraid this door has been forged for a long time, and there are all kinds of tiny scars all over it, such as ax cuts, sword stabs, hammering...
But it still couldn't cover up the faintly glowing mark in the center, a Valaya rune that clearly showed a lot of hard work.
