Among the sixty-three kingdoms of Pavatiga, humans ranked first with three empires, seven kingdoms, and six major federations, and their sphere of influence covered at least half of the continent.

Among the seven kingdoms, the Kola Kingdom, located in the southeast of the mainland, was once ranked first among the seven kingdoms with its comprehensive national strength, and even surpassed three old empires. Unfortunately, a rebellion a hundred and fifty years ago severely damaged the vitality of the Kola Kingdom, and its strength was reduced by more than half, and its ranking dropped to fifth among the seven kingdoms. However, even so, the foundation that has accumulated for thousands of years is still there. After more than a hundred years of rest and recuperation, under the leadership of several key cities, the national strength began to steadily recover. Perhaps in a few decades, the Kola Kingdom will return to the top position.

The second largest city in the kingdom with a history of 900 years, the Rose Capital, which is home to nearly 100,000 permanent residents, is one of several key cities.

This economic and cultural capital, which was controlled by the Rose family for 900 years, plays an important role not only in the Kingdom of Kora, but also in the eyes of the intelligent creatures of Pavatiga.

In the center of the city, a huge columnar crystal stands high, and a faint energy fluctuation is emitted from the land below the crystal, spreading far away to the surroundings and will spread dozens of kilometers away.

This is the heart of the city and the most important foundation of all cities in Pavatiga. With the protection of crystal stones, the chances of large space rifts that raged outside the city from time to time appearing in the domain will become very low. Most fierce monsters will also avoid them because of the energy of crystal stones, so that the lives of civilians can be safeguarded.

It can be said that if there were no such thing as the Heart of the City, it would be a hundred times more difficult for the intelligent creatures on the planet Pavatiga to survive than they are now.

With the heart of the city as the center point, the city is divided into four pieces by two central axes, horizontal and vertical. The magician tower stands tall, reflecting the creatures' yearning and pursuit of mysterious power. The gear sculptures in the mechanical area are huge and eye-catching, representing the creatures' use of external objects. There are many guilds in the power area, which symbolizes the creatures' determination to develop their own power. As for the temple area, it is the destination of spirit and faith.

As for other industrial, commercial and civil facilities, they are all distributed in these areas in a scattered manner, except for the Temple Area, which is the realm of the gods.

There are only temples in the temple area, dozens of temples of all sizes, or to be precise, they should be called chapels. All buildings are not too large. After all, every inch of land in the city is difficult to accommodate too large buildings. Therefore, even the largest church can only have land of the same size in the city to build chapels.

A church of worship is enough for churches headquartered in other places, but not enough for churches headquartered in the local area. In fact, this is the meaning of the church of worship. After all, the headquarters of a church of True God must be supported by various facilities and requires a large amount of land to be built. This is an inevitable conflict between faith needs and urban development. In order to coordinate the two, most cities eventually choose the church of worship, that is, to build the real temple in the suburbs of the city, leaving only the church of worship for believers to pray and worship on a daily basis.

The Dark Moon Temple is no exception. The headquarters of the Temple is located on the outskirts of the Rose Capital, on the edge of the city.

Walking off the carriage in the square in front of the hall, Shuer looked at the familiar buildings around him, and felt a sense of intimacy and nostalgia in his heart. Time is really a terrible thing. Although he has only been here for four years, he has accepted it under the power of time and subconsciously regards it as his second home.

"This kind of decay makes me feel friendly. My taste is really strange. Lord God, I think it must be you who influenced my will and made my mind more and more abnormal, right?"

In the square, the statue of the Dark Moon goddess Luna was as gentle as ever, looking down at the world. Of course, it was impossible to respond to Shuer's provocation. Of course, it might be that he was too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense.

But what Shuer said is actually right. It can only be described here as decay. Everything here is full of a breath of decline.

Like the headquarters of most churches, the Dark Moon Temple is also very large in scope, just like a small village and town, with various buildings very comprehensive. It can be seen that at the beginning of its construction, the Temple still had a certain economic strength, and at least it could afford such a large project.

The square in front of the temple paved with green steel and stone is flat and spacious, clean and spotless. This is the facade of the temple and must not be careless. The statue of the goddess in the middle is meticulously crafted. Although it is not a real holy icon, it represents the majesty of the temple and must be well maintained.

The 199 steps leading to the temple are the only way to enter. Anyone who visits must walk up step by step. This road is a link connecting the world and the Kingdom of God. The long steps symbolize the road to the Kingdom of God. You must use the best textured chalk stone to cut it into a complete step, so that you can show the piety and intention of the gods.

The gate with heavy metal and stone is thick and hard, and even a siege hammer is difficult to shake. It is a mural carved by a famous man. The color is monotonous, but it is full of mystery and soft and intimate. This is the last stop to enter the realm of God. When the door is closed, even if a monarch comes in person, he must stand respectfully in front of the door until the door is opened and the realm of God is open to mortals.

The solemn and gorgeous temple and the solemn and majestic atmosphere are the first impression that the Dark Moon Temple leaves.

Well, it was like this at least seven or eight hundred years ago.

As for now, everything has been beyond recognition.

Many of the green steel bricks in the square have been broken and some have been replaced, but there are still a large number of green steel stones covered with cracks and even potholes left in their original position. Even those replaced, the material is not expensive green steel stones, so that several strange-colored floors appear on the square from time to time, like a shabby dress filled with a slight pudding.

The statue was always kept clean and there was no stain left on it. It can be seen that over the years, the Dark Moon servants have been very attentive, but there were a few missing pieces on the back of the long skirt, which were obviously knocked out by humans. This is the trace left by the disaster a hundred and fifty years ago.

The only thing that is incompatible with the dilapidated surroundings is the one hundred and ninety-nine chalk stone steps. The appearance of the steps is quite intact, and only the edges and corners have been worn away by time and become round and smooth.

However, this is the saddest thing. Although the visual effect of chalk stone is noble and elegant, its texture is not very wear-resistant. If used as steps, it will have to be replaced every ten years. Otherwise, the surface of the steps will be worn for a long time and will become uneven and affect the feeling. The steps here can be seen from the edges that have been used for a long time, but the surface has no signs of wear. It can be imagined how many people have stepped on it over the years.

"Oh." Sighing softly, Shuer, who had climbed to the top of the steps, looked back at the scene below. In fact, he had long been used to it, dilapidated and old, cold and deserted, and this has been the case since the day he came.

However, today it was unexpectedly different.

There were more than a dozen carriages parked next to the square, with luxurious appearance, restrained and subtle, and the most common rental carriages. Vehicles of various grades gathered on the edge of the square. This was a grand scene that had never happened since Shur to Pavatiga.

"It's indeed not a simple rumor, haha."

After sneering for a few times, Shuer did not rush in. He had guessed the purpose of these people. He believed that Lisa could handle it with her ability, at least temporarily. Although she was still a little worried, it was not Shuer's style to start a war without preparation. Sometimes it was more important to see it than to do it.

"Sir, Master, you are back." Just as he looked at the carriages with a smile, the messy footsteps and anxious calls behind him interrupted his thoughts. Without looking back, Shuer could hear who it was.

"Miss Talinna, the Lord teaches us to be as steady and quiet as the night sky, and not allow the complexity of the world to interfere with our pure hearts."

As he turned around, his face had a holy smile on his face. The leader of the Shadow Chaser, who had a deep mind, became a kind and pious priest in an instant. He switched so skillfully and naturally, and obviously he had done it many times.

"The Lord said, don't be anxious, anxiety will only blind your eyes and ears."

The index finger circles on the chest and finally lifts it up and presses it on the other person's forehead.

"The Lord said, don't panic, panic will only make you make wrong judgments."

The divine power surged, and the power to calm the mind burst out from the contact point between the fingers and eyebrows, washing the other person's body from head to toe.

"The Lord says, no need to worry about trivial matters, my agent will handle everything."

"Ah? Did you say this last sentence in Lord Dark Moon's holy book?"

"No, I made it up." He admitted his evil deeds of tampering with the Word with confidence. Sul smiled holy, "The Lord said, "I don't care."

"Master Master!" Even though he was in his thirties and had a very mature mind, Sister Talinna was often so angry that she was amused by Shul. However, he had not done this once or twice anyway, and Lord Dark Moon really didn't care, so he just pretended that he hadn't heard it. Now there are more urgent issues to deal with.

"Sir, please stop making trouble first, we are in trouble." The devout nun no longer cared about the gap in identity, and the devout nun pulled Shul up and ran into the temple. "Maybe Lisa is dealing with them. Fortunately, you are back, otherwise I don't know what to do. Come and have a look."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Lisa will have to deal with emergencies independently sooner or later, and now she will treat it as an exercise in advance." Shul said slowly, "I know if you don't have to go see it. It's just that the creditors are coming. I have to send three or four of them away every month, there's nothing to worry about."

"But there are a few people who are very strong in their attitudes. I'm afraid Lord Lisa will be wronged."
