290 The Holy Maiden of Light
Three days passed, and Roland waited outside the Holy Land of Light to pick him up.
As the holy city of the God of Light, all buildings in the Holy Land of Light are built with large, white smooth rocks, including the city walls.
The walls of King Holevin were already very high and wide, but compared with the walls of the Holy Land of Light, it was far behind.
Standing under the city wall, the huge white rock reflected the sun's light. When I looked up, it seemed as if the hills that were blocking straight up and down were blocking my eyes. This feeling was quite oppressive.
But Roland still had a feeling that he wanted to fly in with a whirlwind.
After all, a mage is just an uncommon person.
Fortunately, he restrained his behavior of committing suicide.
The holy land of the sect is not a royal city.
The royal family also pays attention to interests. Religious believers don’t tell you any reason. If they think you have insulted the sect, it’s probably going to be a matter of dying.
Shuke came out to pick Roland in casual clothes, and the two joked for a while.
Then Roland asked, "Why do you always run back to the Sanctuary? I thought you would fly around every day with Margaret."
"It's not that I don't want to run around." Shuke said helplessly: "It's not that the Holy Land does not want the Saints to run around. If nothing is wrong, they want me to stay in the Holy Land every day."
Roland asked strangely while walking side by side with Shuke: "What? The Holy Land of Light doesn't trust you very much?"
"No, but I'm afraid something happens to us." Shuke smiled bitterly: "Every ten years, there will always be one or two paladins who will fall into black knights outside. Not to mention the loss of people, the black knight turns his head and fights against the Holy Land of Light. Every time a paladin falls, it's a big deal. Over time, the holy land will be scared."
Roland understood what it means.
The code of conduct of paladins is too high. Not to mention the temptations of various demons, they are easily harmed by human traps. For example, if you deceive the paladin, someone says that someone kills people everywhere, and then the paladin believes it and kills the so-called bad guys, and as a result... you will be punished by God.
Moreover, the Temple of Light is not completely bright, and it also has a structure like the Inquisition, and for the benefit of the Divine Church, it also does some dark things.
The paladin has been wandering outside for a long time. If he accidentally encounters someone who bumps into his family doing bad things, his beliefs can easily collapse.
Therefore, the Holy Land has always been a dislike for paladins to run around.
Unless there are clear goals and requirements.
But neither the Pope nor the Saint could order the Paladin to do things he didn't like, and in most cases he just persuaded him.
He persuaded with a good voice.
Most paladins actually have good personalities, so they are naturally easy to listen to advice.
There were people queuing up at the gate under the city wall, and Roland and Shuke were at the end of the line.
Although Roland is also wearing a mage robe, he did not get privileges this time.
Although the people of the Divine Sect of Light will not look down on the mage, they will not look up to them either.
When you line up to enter the Holy Land of Light, there is a very wide white stone slate avenue in front of you. How big is it?
At least equivalent to the eight lanes of the Celestial Empire.
On both sides of the truth are white rocky buildings, high or low, spreading from afar. As Roland looked into the distance, there was a giant white palace standing in the sky that seemed to cover half of the sky.
The rich white holy light surrounds this super giant palace. Even if it is nearly one kilometre away, you can feel the majesty and sacredness of this palace.
Roland was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "I feel like I look up at the Three Gorges Dam at the bottom of the flood discharge area."
Shuke nodded: "I felt the same when I first saw the Temple of Light. This giant building is no worse than what we have."
The two walked on the white stone street, surrounded by many pedestrians.
The vast majority of people wear white clothes or white robes, and only a few people wear clothes of other colors.
There were also quite a lot of vendors on both sides of the road, but none of them shouted loudly, just sat quietly and looked at the passing pedestrians with eager eyes.
Although the entire holy land has a large population and the pedestrians on the streets seem a little crowded, they are not noisy and noisy.
It is not that the pedestrians around them do not speak, but that they will try to keep their voices as low as possible when they speak.
Shuk took him to the direction of the Temple of Light and said, "I won't take you around either, because you are not a believer of the Church of Light, so many places are not open to you. If you go around, you will easily be misunderstood. I'll take you to the big library directly. After all, for us, although it's lively, there's nothing to see in essence."
Roland was reluctant to ask for it. He was really afraid that Shuke would come to be a host and would take him around the city or wander around.
Now he is not very interested in women, let alone scenic spots.
The two walked for more than ten minutes, and finally walked to the bottom of the Temple of Light.
The palace is essentially a hill, with countless white square stones building a huge and exaggerated foundation. Roland looked up for a while and sighed helplessly.
Is the big library in this temple?
It looks very tight.
Roland had seen several entrances of the palace from afar, guarding the light guards in white robes. If it weren't for Shuk, he would definitely not have the "qualification" to enter.
Just as Roland was thinking this way, Shuke suddenly turned right and took him to a relatively small, rocky high-rise building.
"This is the big library." Shuke smiled: "Are you feeling disappointed?"
Luosi shook his head.
Shuke continued: "That's because it is built next to the Great Temple. If you compare it, you think it is small. In fact, it covers an area of more than 30 acres."
Roland didn't have any direct feelings at this time, but after he entered the high building, he couldn't see the grand temple next to him. Then Roland realized that what Shuke said was indeed right.
This big library is really big.
The neat bookshelf is like a sea of woods, with no sight at a glance, and there are many female priests inside, moving books back and forth and sorting them out.
And in the immediate area not far away, there were many pastors in white robes quietly turning the pages.
A female pastor who was processing copywriting looked up and accidentally saw Shuke.
Then her eyes flashed with scales, and she took the initiative to walk up and asked, "His Excellency Shuke, why are you here?"
"I'm here to find the saint and made an appointment with her." Shuke smiled.
"The Saint is in the reading room on the third floor."
"Thanks."
Shuke nodded and took Roland away.
Behind them, the female priest was still looking at Shuke's back with reluctance.
