Alcatraz - #527 - Chapter 527
I had seen this luxurious temple “with my own eyes” using my lawful eyes of time and space, but when I was actually there, I realized that it was really shocking.
All the walls in the vast area are made of gold, and the most famous artists on the Golden Continent were invited to carve murals on them. When the sun shines on the entire temple, the golden brilliance is immediately more dazzling than the light of the Sun God. It was just the flash of gold, but even the grounds of the courtyard and even the square were paved with the most perfect jade. In the courtyard, all the flowers, plants and trees are made of the roundest gemstones.
Just like this, in the golden light, there is also the warmth of jade and the beauty of gems…
Even the gods have never owned such a temple! Because the gods will not build a temple for the purpose of luxury.
I always thought that such a luxurious and vulgar temple would be full of the taste of the nouveau riche, but when I actually got here, I realized that luxury to the extreme is also a kind of beauty.
It can even be so beautiful that it takes your breath away!
The opening ceremony began, and the huge roar was the sound of a gun salute. In such a magical and civilized world, the salute is naturally different from what I saw on earth. I didn’t bother to care about how they did it, but I was still surprised by the generosity of the Golden Gemstone Church.
Generally, the salutes at large ceremonies on Earth are filled with colorful paper bombs, but at the opening ceremony of the Diamond Temple, countless… gems and gold were sprayed out!
Although the rich people present didn’t care about this, the servants couldn’t help but get into a commotion. Even some of the guards couldn’t hold it back and secretly hid the gems and gold that fell close to them.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but most of the gems sprayed fell into the position of my Warcraft Cavalry Regiment. What made me feel at ease was that everyone stood solemnly, as if the useless paper dust falling from the sky was not hidden, not even glanced at.
This time, the judgment is made. On one side there was chaotic fighting, but on the other side there was still deathly silence and solemnity.
Everyone’s faces turned ugly. This time, those who came to attend the opening ceremony of the Diamond Temple were all dignitaries from the Golden Continent. And this time the opening ceremony also involves competing for the qualifications to enshrine the Diamond Temple, so naturally all the best will be present. But now these so-called elites, how can they still look like elites?
Whether it’s a family or an empire, its foundation is, in the final analysis, force. Only with strong force can we avoid becoming the prey of others. Only with strong force can we get what we want.
The most important thing is that an occasion like this is not an occasion to hide one’s capabilities and bide one’s time. The Diamond Temple is the most glorious and proud achievement of the Golden Gem Church. Being a worshiper of such a temple will definitely receive the greatest support from the Golden Gem Church.
Kou Yexue introduced it to me in a low voice, and I finally understood why so many people attach so much importance to the opening ceremony of the Diamond Temple.
Who is the richest person in the Golden Continent? There is no doubt that it is Lordinho. But if you ask who really controls the economy of the entire Golden Continent?
Then, everyone will tell me – the Golden Gem Church. The sixteen largest gold veins and gemstone veins in the entire Golden Continent are all under the control of the Golden Gemstone Church.
Compared with the Golden Gem Church, even Lordinho has to shy away. It is the real money empire.
So, what does it mean to have the full support of the Golden Gem Church?
That means a crazy expansion of strength, not just economic, but also military. Because you can use gold coins that kill people to hire experts, and use gold coins that scare people to death to buy equipment…
And, most importantly, your competitors will back off. Because competing with you means competing with the Golden and Gemstone Church…
With such benefits, who wouldn’t want to become a worshiper of the newly built Diamond Temple of the Golden Gemstone Church?
Therefore, in such an occasion, everyone showed their strongest strength, and the most important thing was to show their own force – the worshipers of the temple must take on the task of protecting the temple. It’s common sense.
Therefore, everyone who arrived brought their most elite escort troops. But… with just a few salutes, the prototype of the so-called elite immediately appeared.
In this way, everyone’s eyes were fixed on me.
My Warcraft Cavalry Regiment is famous in the Golden Continent. Not to mention exterminating the thieves, it naturally caused a sensation in the world. Later, in order to get the water swirling chrysanthemum, I even dispatched the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment and took control of the Royal Palace of the Quebec Empire.
Although Bekanu kept this matter secret, there was no impenetrable wall in the world. The commotion in the Imperial Palace of Quebec and the sudden entry and exit of the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people.
Because, after all, that is not a trivial matter. Regardless of the country, it is extremely dangerous for the palace to be entered by foreign troops, regardless of the length of time.
But, I did it. Even after humiliating the Quebec Empire, he still showed up at the opening ceremony of the Diamond Temple with his arms around the first princess of the Quebec Empire.
Everyone is checking my background because they want to know which family I represent so that they can designate specific countermeasures.
The opening ceremony was extremely luxurious. In fact, everyone expected this at the beginning. Countless gold and gems were sprayed out from the salute. What kind of gesture was this?
After some tedious procedures, the most important moment came, and it was also the moment that everyone present was looking forward to.
That is to compete for the right to enshrine the Diamond Temple.
The competition is simple and cruel, using an auction system.
If you want to get the right to worship in the Diamond Temple, then show your wealth to your heart’s content! Only the highest bidder can obtain the right to worship in the Diamond Temple.
The main hall of the Diamond Temple is very spacious, and the beautiful jade floor makes the Wolf King stare. I wonder if he wants to pry a piece of it back.
The entire main hall covers several thousand square meters, and the ground is covered with jade as green as condensed water. There are dozens of tall pillars in the main hall. They are made of gold mixed with mithril and other precious metals, with dragons and phoenixes coiled on them. They are indescribably beautiful. The most hateful thing is that there is a circle of tables and chairs around the main hall. They are actually made of gold inlaid with precious stones, which makes people’s eyes turn red.
Yai Zhenfu looked very cool. He was followed by several soldiers from the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment. He kept observing everyone in the field coolly, causing many ladies and beauties to make secret glances. The Wolf King, who has always been lustful, now has no intention of teasing those beauties, but I am not surprised at all.
Because the Wolf King’s entire heart has been captured by this temple…
I didn’t pay attention to Yai Zhenfu’s showmanship or the blood-red eyes of the Wolf King. I just silently followed the developments on the field. My gut tells me that here I will get something I didn’t expect. The intuition of gods should be… more powerful than that of women, right?
Directly opposite the gate of the main hall, there is a golden platform with a statue of a god enshrined on it. I didn’t even take a look at that statue. It was just an indigenous god from the Golden Continent and not worth my trouble. On the contrary, the high platform is very solemn. Although it is also made of gold, gems and jade, the three most luxurious materials in the Golden Continent, it is different from the atmosphere of the entire temple. It does not show luxury, but only solemnity.
Muleka walked onto the high platform and placed a temporary table on the high platform: “Everyone, thank you very much for coming to attend the opening ceremony of the newly completed Diamond Temple of my Gold and Gem Temple.”
The entire main hall immediately fell silent, because Muleka’s words meant that the most important moment was coming.
“Now, the Golden Gem Church will find the most devout believer among you to worship this temple.” Muleka raised the small golden hammer in his hand: “Still the old rules, starting from 100 million gold coins, one hundred If you are interested in worshiping the Diamond Temple, please sign up now!”
The starting price is not low, but it can’t stop those people’s enthusiasm. Kou Yexue bit her lip gently, and after a long time she whispered to me: “We…”
I looked back at Kou Yexue and saw her little pink face full of nervousness: “Go, the Kereza family, since it has risen, let’s just rise enough!”
Princess Aibika’s little face suddenly fell. She originally wanted to participate in the competition because I showed her countless jewelry. If those jewels were converted into pieces, they would be a huge fortune in the Golden Continent.
Therefore, Princess Abika really wanted to help the Quebec Empire seize the right to enshrine the Diamond Temple. Once the right to worship the Diamond Temple is obtained, the Quebec Empire will receive the full support of the Golden Gem Church. By then, the Quebec Empire will naturally not be what it is now.
Although she was a little unhappy, Princess Aibika understood immediately. Putting aside my delicate status, the Quebec Empire has now formed an alliance with the Kereza family. So what will Kou Yexue think about competing with his own allies?
Among them, it is more related to my existence.
Princess Abika had to consider what I would think.
With a thought in my heart, I called the Wolf King and Yai Zhenfu, as well as Li Lisi and Guan Ling through the communication card. Kou Yexue and Princess Aibika sat on both sides of me, looking indescribably arrogant.
The Wolf King’s unruliness, Yai Zhenfu’s ruthlessness, Li Lisi’s heroic appearance, and Guan Ling’s sweetness attracted everyone’s attention.
“Kereza family, His Excellency Wang Lin has signed up to participate in the competition for the right to enshrine the Diamond Temple!” I raised my hand slightly, and someone immediately called out loudly.
Muleka’s question is actually a bit redundant. Who here is not eager to get the right to worship? Although many people with weaker abilities would not be able to obtain them, individuals will have a sense of luck. Muleka asked a routine question, and immediately everyone signed up.
It’s really lively, with nearly a hundred families and dozens of empires… I really don’t understand, why do those who have no chance at all sign up?
After a period of noise, Muleka came onto the stage happily: “Everyone, I am the great priest of this diamond temple. Now I will preside over this competition for the right to worship.”
I didn’t pay any attention to what Mureka said about “the great priest of the Diamond Temple”. Looking at his appearance, I knew that he must have been promoted, but what does this have to do with me?
Muleka babbled for a few words and finally got to the point: “The battle for the right to enshrine the Diamond Temple begins now!”
“One billion.” Hauska, the patriarch of the Dongjin family, was the first to speak, and he immediately raised the price to a terrifying level.
I smiled lightly, knowing exactly what Hauska was thinking. He did this not only to show his determination, but also to clear out those who had any luck.
Sure enough, as Hauska’s voice fell, some people left sadly.
