Chapter 804 Two-Tailed Comet and Skull
The Great Temple of Sigmar, this religious holy place is so famous that it can be called one of the most sacred places in the old world.
There are three main gods in the empire, Tal, Ulric, and Sigmar. As the god of nature, Tal does not like man-made buildings. His incarnation is nature. The worship of nature by believers is the worship of Tal.
The Great Temple of Sigmar, which symbolizes the twin-tailed comet, and the floating earth where the White Wolf's sacred fire is located, are listed as the two major religious holy places in the empire. They are far from being comparable to the Poseidon Temple built in Marienburg for the sake of Mannann's name.
Countless devout believers came from all over the empire, intending to listen to the words of Sigmar under the guidance of the great priest.
The zealots and combat priests whose mission was to eliminate heretics ended their travels for a while and returned to the statue of Sigmar to pray for more attention.
Nobles, businessmen, workers, soldiers, beggars... countless people across social classes stood devoutly outside the great temple, waiting for the bell to ring.
Speaking of the Great Temple of Sigmar, Imric's first impression when entering it was...
Well, there are many bald heads, from the extremely majestic high priests to the ragged ascetics, they all have big bald heads.
The only organization in the Church of Sigmar that can earn some points for appearance is the Knights of the Blood of Sigmar. The others look like...
The wrinkled forehead was tattooed with a twin-tailed comet or a pure skull. The touching appearance really left Imrik speechless.
The empire's religious fanaticism is the most obvious, and the current emperor's role as the double divine choice has undoubtedly deepened this religious fanaticism.
It happened that Okacestes had just walked in from outside the temple and came to the back of the special seats. He quietly looked at the team of priests praying to the Sigma statue in the center of the hall.
Imrik used some unique methods to directly contact the minds of legendary warriors.
"How is the performance of the Reiklan Knights?"
"It's very ordinary. During the Great Invasion of Chaos, a person with this level of martial arts wouldn't even be able to enter even His Majesty Aenarion's army. He could only stay in the town as a guard."
Occestes intercepted some clips of his encounters in the past two days and passed them to the prince. It was difficult for him to explain his current situation. This set of armor has many functions waiting to be developed, but the more he uses it, the colder feeling becomes. will become more and more obvious.
In order to retain some memories of the past before taking back the dragon horn, the legendary warrior only uses the most basic functions as much as possible, waving his gauntlet and moving his shield and sword.
The appearance of Rick's guards quickly emerged in Imric's mind. The knight commander was very confident in fighting against Occestes, but in the end he was beaten to the point of doubting his life.
The rune hammer made by the dwarf blacksmith did not cause a single scratch on the thick shield in the hands of the legendary warrior, no matter how hard he used it.
If that was all, the knight commander had reason to comfort himself that it was a matter of equipment differences, but when Occestes gave up his shield and only used a sword that was as tall as a man...
The legendary warrior still remembered the prince's instructions and did not cut Knight Rick in half with one sword. He only symbolically slapped the monkey's chest with the sword spine to barely guarantee that he was alive.
Immediately afterwards, knights from all walks of life came, not to be outdone. Occestes almost single-handedly defeated the famous noble warriors of the entire Rickland.
Finally, the knights agreed that this elf was a monster.
Occestes, who was watching the ceremony, scoffed and asked why the prince cared so much about humans. Four thousand years ago, it would have been a great honor for these monkeys to even meet the Dragon Prince.
Now, as a spectator, he was quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin. It was because Caledo had changed too quickly or he couldn't keep up with the times.
Imrik, who knew what the legendary warrior was thinking, waved his hand to signal to be calm. His superiority in force over humans made Occestes very confident, and he still maintained the arrogance of the past.
The Dragon Prince was not prepared to explain verbally. When he arrived in Nunn, someone would naturally ask him to change his mind that humans were not capable.
While waiting, as the Sigma statue bloomed with golden light, a loud bell sounded from the bottom. The dull echo made Felice frown, and it seemed to have spread throughout Altdorf with the Great Temple as the center.
Holding the command scepter modeled after the twin-tailed comet, the majestic high priest announced that the ceremony had officially begun.
"For the rest, in the name of Sigmar, we will walk on the path of justice, eradicate heresy for the empire, and preserve the purity of mankind.
We are the comet, burning away all evil!
In the name of the twin-tailed comet, the empire is alive! Today! Forever! "
The command scepter resonated with Gal Maraz held by the Sigma statue, and a dazzling golden light flashed from it. The light was extremely hot, as if a ball of flame was burning in it.
According to legend, when the twin-tailed comet streaks across the sky, it is the day Sigma returns. Believers have been praying for this for two thousand years, and they are willing to pray for it forever.
The crowd in the hall knelt down and worshiped before the statue of the god and the high priest. At this moment, the high priest was not only the leader of the Sigma Church, but also the symbol of Sigma in the Twin-tailed Comet Sacrifice.
Considering the actual situation, the church and the elector arranged a very unique position for Prince Long.
When everyone knelt in front of the statue, only the high priest could see that the elf did not kneel down.
Imrik, who stood proudly among the crowd, briefly met the eyes of the high priest.
A look of doubt, or strangeness, or maybe a little expectancy, appeared in the eyes of the great priest.
This change made Imrik couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. It seemed that the phone call was connected. Sigma, who was squeezed in the maelstrom, still noticed Altdorf's situation. Through the Twin-tailed Comet Sacrifice, this empire's religious fanaticism was the most A rich moment that confuses the magic of the old bird of Tzeentch.
A black shadow was thrown out of the body of the statue behind the high priest and flew towards the standing elf. The speed was extremely fast and seemed to come from a power that ordinary people could not recognize. No one present noticed anything strange about the ceremony.
With his palms raised in front of him, Imric successfully received the call from Sigma...
Let’s not mention how paranoid the empire is about the ultimate skull mark. Anyway, the Dragon Prince has already obtained what he wants—the approval of Sigmar himself.
Putting this glittering miniature skull away, Imrik nodded imperceptibly to the high priest, indicating that he had indeed received the thing. You can rest assured to return to the maelstrom and continue to squeeze the toilet with Nagash.
After the believers' worship session ended, as a church that prides itself on imitating Sigmar, it began to present sacrifices.
A large green-skinned orc head, a mostly withered undead head, and a Khorne-style helmet that resembled rabbit ears respectively paid homage to Sigmar's feats of killing the imperial orcs, driving out Nagash, and fiercely fighting the northern Chaos tribes.
As a spectator, Imric also gave the Church of Sigmar something of great value, a head of a Chaos Lord who was once famous in the old world.
As for its origin, I'm afraid it has to be traced back to the Battle of Fennoir Plains. At least the Dragon Prince didn't remember how this guy died, and who put his head as a trophy in the palace. (End of chapter)
