The Fourth Volume Ice Road 017. Temple of God

  On the ice plain less than a hundred miles north of here, a team of people is advancing slowly.

  The one walking at the forefront of the group was an extremely majestic young man. Despite being in this icy and snowy environment, he still wore his own suit of silver armor. The lion head emblem on the chest of the armor was particularly eye-catching. A faint aura surrounded him from head to toe, shining brightly like a god in the wind. His black hair with white streaks danced wildly in the wind, without a single strand of ice or snow on it. On his face, which was even more handsome than that of an ordinary woman, there was a hint of a smile.

  This journey has been through icy skies and snowy lands, but on his body, not a single thread of dishevelment can be seen, just as if he were strolling in his own backyard at this very moment.

  This person is none other than Orudas, who has a reputation for being a genius in the Gavin Empire.

  Looking at his expression at this moment, he seems to be enjoying the process of strolling in the snow and wind very comfortably.

  Behind Ordas, dozens of people followed, most of whom wore black cloaks that concealed their figures and faces. However, a keen eye could still tell that these people were probably no more than thirty years old.

  The team walked a little further on the ice, and suddenly Orudas frowned, then he made a gesture, and dozens of people behind him instantly disappeared into thin air.

  A moment later, a loud roar was heard, and a group of demonic beasts were rushing towards them. The number was staggering. Aldras furrowed his brow slightly, stretched out his hand in front of him, and waved it gently. A faint yellow aura mixed into his pure white protective aura.

  This layer of Dou Qi protective mask also didn't know if it had any special effect, causing the magic beast that was rushing over to actually not see Orudas at all. In an instant, after the shadows of those magic beasts disappeared from view, Orudas swung his hand again and retracted the yellow Dou Qi on the protective mask.

  Dozens of figures reappeared, and the one who ran to Orudas' front with a small step smiled: "Orudas senior, your earth spirit fighting energy seems to have become even more powerful. I suppose those magical beasts earlier thought you were just a stone?"

  This voice is so soft and gentle that if Du Fan were present, he should be able to recognize the person as Cress who came to visit him at the Duke's mansion that day.

  A'erdashi smiled faintly, with a silver glow spreading over his body. His handsome face was accompanied by a faint smile, and this kind of charm would be the top among the top if it were to appear in a certain place in the imperial capital where noble ladies and young ladies went to have fun.

  He didn't respond to Chris's words, but instead listened sideways for a moment and said, "It seems that the group of magical beasts really ran far away. I don't know who provoked these things. Even if I encountered such a number of magical beasts, I could only hide. It seems that our friend in front is not very capable, but he's quite brave."

  "Hey, friend in front... are you talking about Du Fan?"

  "Who else could it be?" Ordas said with a smile.

  "Then... if he provoked this group of magical beasts... is he... okay?"

  Ardas gave Chris a strange look, hesitated for a moment, and said: "No matter who provoked this group of demons, it's impossible that nothing happened, but... what's strange is that I didn't feel any bloodthirst from those demons just now. Could someone have deliberately provoked them and then deliberately led them in our direction?"

  Here is the translation:

  Talking to this point, Oudas himself couldn't help but feel a bit amused. If Dufan could cultivate Dou Qi for three months and have the ability to do such things, then he might as well go crash into a wall and die. Although from the intelligence obtained from within the Sacred Church, there were several strong individuals among Dufan's group, Oudas couldn't think of who exactly had this kind of strength.

  After thinking for a moment, Orudas still couldn't figure out why this thing happened and had to put it down as a coincidence. He turned his head to look at the dozens of people behind him, and Orudas couldn't help but sigh. These people should be considered the internal forces cultivated by Roland Academy in recent years. They were mostly selected from ordinary civilians without any extra background.

  This kind of person is easiest to control, but at the same time also easiest to sacrifice. This time, bringing so many people to the Temple of Gods, I don't know how many will return in the end?

  Moreover, this expedition was not auspicious from the start. Not only did that capable Elvis go missing, but even news about the Temple of the Gods was leaked out. Although it's obvious who must have leaked the information, it's unbelievable that the Sacred Court had the audacity to do such a thing, disregarding the danger of antagonizing Roland Academy.

  Moreover, since Dufan also came, the leak of this matter must have something to do with him. It's even possible that Elvis fell into his hands, which is why this result appeared.

  He recalled Du Fan's face full of smiles, and even though Ordas was normally calm and composed, his breathing couldn't help but quicken slightly.

  Kurisu gazed at the senior in front of her, his handsome face changing expressions unpredictably. Although he looked worriedly in the direction where Shinra was, Kurisu didn't dare to reveal any extra emotions.

  Finally, Orudas let out a long sigh and signaled the team to continue moving forward. However, his eyes turned towards the north, as if piercing through the northern ice fields, through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally fell on Dufan's body.

  Dufan, who was advancing slowly, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and in an instant, cold sweat covered his entire body.

  Tasia walked beside him, feeling the change in him, and turned to look at him. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask: "Du Fan, what's wrong with you?"

  Du Fan took a deep breath, and after the heart-pounding feeling slowly dissipated, he forced a smile and said: "Nothing, it's just that I seemed to feel something earlier, which gave me a sense of fear. I was thinking, could this be what they call divine power?"

  Tasia gazed deeply at Du Fan for a few moments, making him feel terrified and his mouth dry, before she smiled and said: "The divine power is like a prison, the divine grace is like the sea. If Du Fan has sensed the divine power, then it's indeed rare. Even I can't casually sense the divine power here."

  Du Fan forced a few more smiles, casually pulled out a few sentences to divert the topic, but he still couldn't help but glance back, at this moment the northern ice field had been left behind by them, except for a few Temple Knights, there was no one else behind Du Fan.

  After a moment, Du Fan inexplicably shook his head, but he was cautious in his actions, fearing this might be some kind of bad omen. He hastily retrieved several magic scrolls from the storage ring and stuffed them into his sleeves, preparing to strike back at any moment if something went wrong.

  After walking for a while in the valley, the thin fog that had been lingering in the valley slowly dispersed, and everything before my eyes suddenly became clear.

  All that can be seen is a green brick road in front, although various plants are growing on both sides of the road, they are all messy but not chaotic, as if someone has carefully taken care of this place.

  The surrounding space was eerily silent, with no sound of breathing from the crowd, only a sea of wide eyes staring at the scene before them.

  After a moment, Nicholas finally slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his divine power was burning without reservation, and a pure and powerful force was flowing slowly through his body. After a moment, the flowing holy energy gradually contracted and eventually merged into Nicholas's body.

  Nicholas walked a few steps on the brick-paved path with a complex expression, then said: "So that's it... So that's it... The deity worshipped in this temple is actually the Supreme God..."

  For a moment, the faces of everyone present turned incredibly strange. If the Radiant God was already an absolute existence for them, then wouldn't the Supreme God be even more so?

  Although the sacred scriptures of the Holy See have been vague and evasive in their descriptions of the Supreme God over thousands of years, no one has dared to deny the existence of the Supreme God. Although they were reluctant, the popes of each generation also tacitly acknowledged that there was a Supreme God above the radiant god they served.

  Of course, these things were only circulated within the Sacred Court, and for ordinary believers, knowing that there was a Bright God in the world was already the limit.

  After being stunned for a moment, the crowd was even more expectant. If they could get something in this temple that served the Supreme God, its value would be absolutely immeasurable?

  For a moment, everyone's heart was excited. Although there were still some fear in their hearts when facing the temple of the highest god, but in that fear, there was also a hint of expectation.

  Human nature is originally greedy.

  A moment later, Alfred suddenly coughed and said: "Nicholas-sama... what should we do?"

  Nicholas took a deep breath, his face turning somewhat peculiar. He gazed at the passageway in front of him and the temple in the distance that seemed to be imperceptible. After a long while, he shook his head and said: "Let's retreat from here for tonight and rest outside the valley. I think... there must be something unusual about this temple. We can't enter without making thorough preparations."
