Who are you calling a stable boy?!

Please make yourself at home.

“Ms. Cassandra, with such strict checks, can Zheng and I really enter the capital via the official road?”

"Please rest assured, the Holy Scripture of Fire Extinguishing will take care of everything for the two of you."

Within the Slaine Theocracy, which is founded on religion, there are six factions based on the six major gods. Although there are occasional frictions between the six factions, they share the same overall goal: to build a world order that prioritizes humanity.

To this end, the Holy Kingdom established a powerful six-in-one armed force, collectively known as the Six-Colored Holy Scripture.

They are the Sunlight Holy Scripture, the Dark Holy Scripture, the Fire Extinguishing Holy Scripture, the Water Bright Holy Scripture, the Earth Dust Holy Scripture, and the Wind Flower Holy Scripture.

Each sacred text has its own function, and they are all under the direct jurisdiction of the six chief priests.

The Fire Extinction Scripture is responsible for domestic security. For example, they have set up numerous sentry posts along the official roads, and members of the Fire Extinction Scripture are secretly stationed there.

The woman standing before Zheng Jing and Momoga, Cassandra, was one of the six captains of the Fire Extinction Scripture.

The squad leader, known as "Fu Huo," did not boast. The convoy she led had passed through various checkpoints and endured numerous inspections without ever encountering any problems.

It wasn't that there weren't any suspicious sentry soldiers; they would mainly take a few extra glances at Momoga, who was also fully armed inside the carriage. But often, before these soldiers could actually make any move, another soldier would step in and help the convoy slip through unnoticed.

After traveling for half a day, as the sun was setting, the caravan brazenly escorted Zheng Jing and Momoga into the capital of the Holy Kingdom.

It is also what the True God Army calls the Promised Land.

Chapter 328: I Want to Have His Child

Successfully entering the capital was a good start.

Unlike the towns that had been occupied by the demons of the True God's army and later liberated by the expeditionary force, the capital city, though filled with a tense atmosphere due to the patrols that occasionally passed through the streets, was generally peaceful and prosperous.

Before even reaching the villa prepared by Cassandra, Zheng Jing and Momoga had already encountered many decadent nobles along the way, who had clashed with patrols on the streets.

"I know you two have had a long journey, but the situation is urgent, could you...?"

Upon arriving at the villa, Cassandra dismissed everyone and led Zheng Jing and Momoga through a secret passage into a hidden room in the basement. Here, various soundproofing and anti-peeping measures were in place. Cassandra was about to get straight to the point.

"Sure."

Zheng Jing nodded.

Momoga certainly had no objection; in fact, he was one who could be impatient.

"Then let me first give you both a brief overview of some important matters concerning the capital..."

According to Cassandra, the Razmirite invasion began six months ago.

Six months ago, the Black High Priest suddenly claimed that he had received guidance from the Supreme God and brought new hope to the people suffering in the world.

That is Likun, and the living god Razmir that Likun represents.

This behavior would not only be subject to impeachment, but would very likely result in one of the more hot-tempered high priests demanding a duel on the spot.

However, something incredible happened.

—The six high priests actually acknowledged the existence of the living god Razmir!

Initially, several captains in the Six Colored Holy Scriptures went to find the Earth High Priest, Raymond, the former national hero who was in charge of the Six Colored Holy Scriptures, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

However, when these captains returned to their respective departments, they displayed an attitude similar to that of the six high priests.

Among them, the vice-captains of the Fire Extinction Holy Scripture, the Wind Flower Holy Scripture, and the Water Bright Holy Scripture all noticed something amiss.

They suspected that the six high priests and these captains—and even more high-ranking members of the theocracy whose problems they had not yet discovered—were likely under the mind control of that Likun.

So the three vice-captains began to investigate in secret, but the process was far from smooth...

Currently, within the entire Six Colored Holy Scriptures, those above the vice-captain level who can be definitively said not to have been mentally controlled are only the captain and vice-captain of the Earth Dust Holy Scripture, and the vice-captain of the Water Bright Holy Scripture.

The Dust Scripture escaped destruction because its duty was to guard a secret human sanctuary. If humanity were to face another great calamity from ancient times, the Holy Kingdom would use that place to preserve the human race.

In other words, the entire Dust Holy Scripture, from top to bottom, was not located in the capital for most of the year, thus eliminating any opportunity for Likun to make a move.

The vice-captain of the Water Scripture is similar; he spends most of his time in hiding outside the Holy Kingdom and rarely returns home in person.

In fact, it is precisely because of this vice-captain that patriots like Cassandra in the Six Colors Holy Scripture are now able to come into contact with the expeditionary force.

"We suspect that Likun was able to control a large number of high-ranking officials in the Theocracy by using the [Alluring Beauty].

Cassandra said with a heavy expression.

"A beauty that could topple kingdoms?"

"Momoga asked."

"It is our country's most precious treasure, capable of ignoring mental resistance and directly exerting mental control on the target... Our people witnessed a woman with stunning beauty acting beside Likun. The woman wears a silver mask every day and hides her stunning beauty with a black robe. She follows Likun almost every step of the way, which is the main reason why we have not dared to take action against Likun so far."

At this point, Cassandra gritted her teeth.

"You two may not know the terrifying power of a beauty capable of destroying kingdoms, but I cannot deceive you on this matter. With our current strength in the capital, we can at most hold off the main force of the Six-Colored Holy Scripture for thirty minutes to prevent them from interfering with your assassination. But that woman, I'm afraid we cannot remove her from Likun's side..."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Zheng Jing waved his hand: "It sounds like you were prepared in advance regarding the timing?"

"Yes, now that you two have successfully arrived here, according to our agreement with the expeditionary force, the assassination will be carried out at noon two days from now."

Was that day special?

"That day was the annual Six Saints Ceremony. As long as Likun wanted to maintain the false connection between his false god and the six great gods, even though the True God Army had fallen to its current state—no, it should be said that precisely because his True God Army was now at a disadvantage, as long as he wanted to drive the people of the theocracy who were not under mental control to fight to the death with the expeditionary force, he had to attach importance to the Six Saints Ceremony!"

Cassandra said seriously, "At that time, the main force of the Six Colored Holy Scriptures will be dispersed to various places to maintain the stability of the capital. Especially the Dark Holy Scripture. According to intelligence, only three members of the Dark Holy Scripture will be able to participate in security work in the capital on that day... No, only this statement is incorrect."

Cassandra shook her head.

As far as she knew, the Dark Scripture had a total of twelve members.

According to the information provided by the Water Scripture, the ninth seat of the twelve seats, [Swift Wind Breaker], defected a month ago.

The third, fifth, sixth, eighth, and tenth seats were sent to the front lines two days ago.

The seventh seat, [Astrologist], seems to have suffered some kind of severe mental trauma a few days ago when he cast a remote observation spell. It is said that he now has trouble even having normal conversations.

The twelfth seat, [Heaven and Earth], was sent on a secret mission forty days ago and has not been heard from since.

Therefore, during the Six Saints Grand Ceremony, there should be three members of the Dark Scripture who can participate in security work in the capital.

“I know that you two must be exceptionally strong to be able to take on this important task, but among the members of the Dark Codex who remained in the capital this time, there is the first seat of the Dark Codex Captain, who is known as the strongest in the Theocracy, the Dark Codex!”

"Sounds pretty impressive?"

Zheng Jing raised an eyebrow: "He's really good at fighting, huh?"

"this......"

Cassandra hesitated for a moment: "Please be careful, both of you! In the worst-case scenario, we might not be able to lure these three members of the Black Scripture away from Likun, which means you two may very well have to confront them..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jing and Momoga exchanged a glance.

"Hey."

"Oh."

"Two people?"

"It's nothing, Kawhi, you guys just do it at your own pace."

Zheng Jing waved his hand with a grin.

"The rest is up to me and Lao Gu."

-

Two days later, on the day of the Six Saints Ceremony.

Inside the grand temple, the starting point of the pilgrimage, a girl with mixed black and white hair, carrying a long-handled scythe on her shoulder and wearing a full suit of gold and silver heavy armor, leaned against the wall of the corridor, fiddling with a Rubik's Cube in her hand.

"It's about time, we should get going."

Just then, a figure walked in from the other end of the corridor.

This person was not tall, with long, jet-black hair that reached past his waist. His appearance was somewhat androgynous due to his youthful appearance, and his sharp, crimson eyes resembled two red jades.

It is the captain of the Dark Codex, the first seat of the Dark Codex.

Seeing the girl in front of him still acting lazy and indifferent while playing with magic, [Dark Holy Scripture] gave a somewhat helpless smile.

“At today’s ceremony, there will surely be powerful thieves who will try to assassinate Master Likun. Even we must take this seriously.”

"Um......"

Upon hearing this, the girl didn't even raise her head.

"really?"

"At least Master Likun demanded that we go all out, and... the monster that [Astrological Thousand Miles] saw back then is very likely among them."

The girl paused.

"Oh? That six-armed true demon who supposedly single-handedly routed an army of 160,000? I remember... he was male, right?"

[The Dark Scripture] remained silent, only gazing with a helpless expression at the unknown thirteenth seat of the Dark Scripture—an unofficial seat, [Absolute Death].

"If it were male, if it were to come..."

Jueshi Jueshi lowered his head, stroking the armor around his waist and abdomen. A blush rose on his fair face, and his sweet voice trembled slightly, but the corners of his mouth curled up with a madness that inspired fear.

"If he could beat me, I'd really like to have a child with him..."

Chapter 329: Who is my sister going to kill?

In the past, the Six Saints Ceremony would proceed as follows: the six high priests would depart together from the Great Temple, circle the capital city, complete the pilgrimage, and arrive at the Six Saints Plaza in front of the Shrine of the Maidens at noon. One of the six high priests would then give a speech in front of the six statues of the gods.

This year's Six Saints Ceremony is naturally different.

Those who will ride in the parade floats include not only the six high priests, but also the high priest, Master Likun, who represents the living god Razmir.

For the residents of the capital of the theocracy, Likun and the Razmir sect he represents are no strangers.

In just a few months, with the leaders of the six major sects and the six high priests publicly endorsing it, the Razmir sect had enough time to establish a solid foundation of faith among the nobles and common people of the theocracy.

Of course, there are people who question the legitimacy of Razmir's faith.

However, these doubts either don't last more than a few days, or they don't even have a chance to be raised.

As a Saint-level Master of the Razmir sect, Likun was naturally adept at using these methods.

After all, Razmir himself made his fortune through these very means.

Therefore, even though this was the first time since the founding of the Holy Kingdom that someone other than the six high priests had boarded that sacred float, none of the devout people gathered on both sides of the street to watch the ceremony felt anything was wrong.

"laugh."

Zesshi Zesshi suddenly laughed, causing the captain, who was focused on observing the surrounding situation, to look over.

"what happened?"

He asked in a low voice.

Don't you think it's ridiculous?

Jue Shi Jue Ming raised his head: "Look at them, just watching a guy who suddenly appeared stand at the highest point, and they act like it's perfectly normal."

The captain couldn't see her smile through his helmet, but knowing Zetsu Zetsumei, he knew it wasn't a friendly one.

As for the question of absolute death, he couldn't answer it immediately.

In the usual pilgrimage, the six chief priests ride together in a float, symbolizing that the six gods are of equal rank and have a close and intimate relationship.

However, the floats at today's parade have been modified.

There's an extra layer on top.

Likun stood on that level, above the six high priests, truly holding the top position.

"...Please focus your energy on security work."

After struggling for a while, all he could manage to say in response was this.

Unlike the other five divisions of the Six Colored Scriptures, the members of the Dark Scriptures are not all from the theocracy's military, so sometimes there are members who are not particularly devout in their faith in the six gods.

In situations like these, it's necessary for him, as the team leader, to step in and correct or remind them of their words and actions.

But for Zetsuki, in short...

He dare not.

"Hehe, don't worry. Now that I can finally come out and walk around openly, I'll work hard."
