Chapter Thirty: Illaoi
"...I never expected that it was not you who left first, but me who left first."
Looking at the shrine that has never been far away from him, the high priest of the Baru people, the True One, Illaoi, who is still in his late youth, still has a lot of feelings for Gangplank in his heart, so after knowing
After the news of the other party's death, her steps did become unsteady for a moment. But before others noticed, she stood up straight again, showing her usual toughness again.
"Where has Planck been lately?"
When Illaoi made up her mind to leave the man she loved so much not long ago, she was prepared not to see each other for a long time. The priests around her were happy because of this, because they finally didn't have to.
They saw their high priest hanging out with a scumbag from Bilgewater again. But when Illaoi asked this question, even though she believed that the high priest was the kind of person who would never go back on his word, there were people around her
The priest's heart was still tense and he did not answer Illaoi immediately.
This situation made Illaoi couldn't help but frown, but she finally raised her breath helplessly and explained.
"I just want to know when he can come back. Because of his absence, the city is in chaos."
She was not going to say that Gangplank was dead, because she would inevitably show a weak expression after returning to the temple, so she had to hide this fact so that the priests under her would not think of it. And she said
It's not a complete lie, because Planck went to inspect his country after he took the throne in a hurry, so many people in this city have a lot of little thoughts.
And she also knew that this was the man's little temper because of his departure. But what he didn't know was that such a little temper could not make her change her mind, because once she showed a little bit of reluctance and
Regret will stop this man's progress.
This is something she doesn't want to see, and it's not something her God wants to see.
After all, a man and a god, the choice was simply obvious.
Would anyone be stupid enough to give up on God because of a man?
Obviously not.
Thinking of this, she once again lifted up the shrine at her feet, letting her dreadlocks scatter around her as her body shook. She also looked at the priest who was still hesitating with dissatisfaction.
"explain."
The priest did not dare to look her in the eyes, so he only dared to kneel on the ground, and then told Illaoi about Gangplank's news.
"He is sailing in the waters of Demacia... But to be honest, his behavior is too childish compared to his father. He is uprooting his own strongholds one after another, and then sending some new people
.”
However, when talking about Planck, the priest did not forget to tell all the unsatisfactory things about Planck. His bloodlust and cruelty were far stronger than his father's, and he was even more of a murderer.
The level of pirate and scum is much higher than that of his father. After all, his father did not kill his own father with his own hands. And in this city, he would only use violence and had no intention of choosing other methods.
.
So to the Baru people, this guy named Gangplank is not worthy of the love of their high priest.
"That's because the people in those strongholds have unclean hands and feet. For such strongholds, cleaning is naturally necessary. As for the problem of newcomers not being able to adapt to the management..."
Illaoi started walking, no longer looking at the surging city below, but walked towards his temple.
"They will grow up, which is the biggest reason why we are here."
Her thoughts made the priests behind her couldn't help but purse their lips, because there are really very few people who would think so. For these Baru priests, although they are the ones who spread the faith of Naga Kapoulos
It’s a dream thing, but spreading the faith of the great Snake Mother to these lazy pirates will only think that it will tarnish the Snake Mother, because these pirates don’t understand the meaning of sports at all, they only know how to steal.
Things, killing, and indulgence, without any desire to move his life and reach a higher level.
Yes, Naga Kapoulos is the true god worshiped by Illaoi. What it requires is that believers cannot be stagnant in all aspects, whether it is a challenge to themselves or breaking through their own bottlenecks.
Or perhaps to surpass the predecessors, what this god wants is 'movement'.
So Illaoi clearly knows that the priests behind him have begun to slowly stagnate, but there is still a long time before complete stagnation. I still have time to teach them and let them understand God's teachings more deeply.
, so she was not in a hurry to use the shrine in her hand to admonish the believers, and she was not in that mood now. She just walked into her temple and gave her order while the priests behind her stayed outside the temple.
.
"Tell everyone under my command to be careful, and pay attention to the ship coming from Demacia... I have a very bad feeling."
Although she didn't want her mourning behind closed doors to be known to those under her command, Illaoi also understood that such an idea was full of corruption, so she finally gave the order. She knew that her priests would not
I don't know what she said, or maybe it made her feel dissatisfied.
"Yes, Lord High Priest."
The priests leaned over to salute again, but the surprise on their faces could not be concealed, because Illaoi would never say useless words. If she said something, she would have a bad feeling, and then there would definitely be something else.
Something bad happened. So after Illaoi walked back, these priests continued to act according to Illaoi's instructions, and notified the gangs that belonged to them, so that these people could live in peace during this period.
for a while to avoid something bad happening.
As for Illaoi, who was alone in the room, after confirming that there was no one else around him, he leaned his head on the back of the chair in a very bad mood, and then took out a pocket watch from his arms.
With the portrait of Planck and her, she sighed softly, then threw the pocket watch onto the treasures piled in the corner of the room, and then closed her eyes.
She didn't intend to let herself be immersed in sadness, but the pain in her heart made her know that her idea could not be implemented well.
