Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 151 Slapping the Fallen High Priest in the Face 9

Upon hearing Elias's reply, Leng Yuexing fell into deep thought.

Elias reached out and lifted Leng Yuexing's chin, making him look into his eyes. Then he asked affectionately, "What are you thinking about? Are you curious about the divine power on the idol?"

“I am indeed curious, but that’s not what I’m thinking about. I’m wondering what Drake will do after he returns to the Temple of Light.”

"Without the image sphere, we have no way to monitor him, so..."

Leng Yuexing smiled slightly as she looked at Elias and said, "How about we try to sneak into the Temple of Light and see what Drake is up to?"

Elias chuckled and said, "That's a good idea. I just heard that the Temple of Light is going to select some new divine servants in two days. Why don't we go and give it a try in two days?"

“This is a good idea. If we were to impersonate other divine servants, it would be easy to expose our flaws,” Leng Yuexing said with a smile.

Seeing that Leng Yuexing had agreed, Elias secretly shot a beam of light outward with his finger, and then prepared to take Leng Yuexing to visit the capital of the Satia Empire.

Leng Yuexing readily agreed, and Elias maneuvered the carriage to a secluded alleyway and put it away.

Just as Elias was about to lead Leng Yuexing away from the alley, Leng Yuexing grabbed Elias's hand, "Wait a moment, I still need to cover myself up."

Although many elves frequently appear in the capital of the Satia Empire, Leng Yuexing's face is simply too conspicuous.

If he goes out without any disguise, passersby will definitely notice him instantly, and if he causes a commotion and Drake notices, things will become very troublesome.

So, Leng Yuexing took out a bamboo hat with white gauze around its edges from her spatial backpack.

After putting on a straw hat, others would not be able to see his face, thus preventing any disturbance.

The moment he put on the straw hat, a look of amazement flashed in Elias's eyes.

In Elias's eyes, the veil could not conceal Leng Yuexing's face; at this moment, Leng Yuexing possessed an even more ethereal beauty.

He realized for the first time that the beauty of ambiguity could be so exquisite, making people want to explore the true face behind that veil.

Elias suddenly became desperate and wanted to hide Cold Moon Star away in his own palace.

To ensure that no one could see Leng Yuexing, and to make everything he owned belong entirely to himself.

However, Elias also knew that until the power of darkness was completely resolved, even if he hid Leng Yuexing, she would only try her best to leave him.

Elias previously did not care about the dark power's erosion of the continent.

The corruption of the dark power had not yet reached the point of destruction, and he felt there was no need for him to intervene.

However, now, because of Leng Yuexing, he changed his mind. He wished he could immediately purify all the dark power on the continent and suppress the God of Darkness forever in the abyss of darkness.

His fingers twitched slightly, but then he remembered Leng Yuexing's plan to enter the Temple of Light, and he forcibly pressed his fingers down again.

Thinking that his experiences on the mainland would become cherished memories for him and Leng Yuexing in the future, Elias didn't want to ruin this plan.

After thinking it over, Elias looked at Leng Yuexing with affection, took his hand, and left the alley after intertwining their fingers.

Leng Yuexing and Elias strolled around the capital, buying lots of food and watching many interesting and lively performances.

However, the Temple of Light was no longer empty as usual; all the divine servants had gathered in the main hall of the Temple of Light.

Their faces were filled with excitement, their eyes shining as they gazed at the orb of light on the altar.

Just now, the sphere of light on the altar emitted a dazzling light, which means that the God of Light has issued a divine decree.

Drake, who had just returned to his room and changed into his robes of the God of Light, heard about this and used the white powder he found to barely cover the black corners of his eyes.

They then quickly arrived at the temple to prepare to deliver a divine message to the attendants.

But Drake hadn't expected that the moment he stepped into the temple, his left foot felt like it was being pricked by tens of thousands of needles, making him want to scream.

Remembering his identity as the high priest, Drake barely managed to suppress his screams.

As a result, when his right foot stepped into the temple, he also felt a stinging pain in the sole of his foot, the same pain as in his left foot.

To suppress his screams, his legs trembled violently, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as he endured the pain, making him look quite pathetic.

Once he was inside the temple, he could no longer hold back and let out a loud scream. Then, he gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground.

At this moment, Drake not only endured the feeling of countless needles pricking his feet, but his heart also felt the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. When the other elders came to help him, he couldn't bear the pain any longer and fainted.

The other elders and priests had no idea of ​​the pain Drake had endured; they only saw the high priest faint after entering the temple.

Unable to deliver the oracle, the elders of the council ordered several attendants to escort the high priest back to his room.

Afterwards, they prepared to personally unveil the oracle.

An elder dressed in a white divine robe carefully picked up the Orb of Light, then closed his eyes and channeled a wisp of light power into it, causing the Orb of Light to float in the air.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from the sphere of light, and then these beams converged, forming a line of divine pronouncements in the air.

[Choose the Holy Son in two days]

"Son?!"

The elder who unveiled the divine oracle exclaimed in surprise.

All the divine servants stared in astonishment at the divine oracle floating in the air, some even rubbing their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were seeing things.

Since the existence of their Temple of Light, there has never been a concept of a Holy Son.

However, it is not difficult to understand that the so-called "Holy Son" should be the person most favored by the God of Light, and the God of Light's representative on the continent.

The Holy Son has the power to command all the temples on the continent and possesses supreme authority.

All the divine servants who looked toward the oracle gradually became crazed, hoping that the God of Light would choose them as his holy son.

Everyone desires the supreme position of the Holy Son.

After the elders recovered from their shock at seeing the oracle, the elder who had unveiled the oracle once again channeled the power of light into the sphere of light, and the oracle, which had been floating in the air, returned to the sphere of light as golden light.

After a brief discussion, they decided to choose a holy son for the God of Light in the Temple of Light two days later, on the morning of the third day.

They ordered their servants to write the notices and post them on bulletin boards throughout the city.

Since the God of Light did not specify who could participate and who could not, the elders dared not make a decision on their own. Therefore, they made it clear in the notice that anyone who wanted to become a Holy Son could line up outside the temple on the morning of the third day.

Meanwhile, Leng Yuexing, who was shopping with Elias, was unaware that Elias's so-called selection of divine servants had become the selection of holy sons.
