Chapter 146 - 126 Kagawus Doesn’t Even Know That He’s the Creator
Casas mounted the camel, but this was no ordinary camel. It was one of the rare camels with pure white fur, possessing a sacred appearance under the glow of the sunlight. Carefully bred by Casas’s father, it was presented to him upon reaching adulthood.
Noen led the camel by the bridle, walking step by step toward the temple halfway up the hillside.
"This camel can enter the temple," Casas said offhandedly as he stroked the camel’s fur.
Noen nodded in agreement and replied,
"Little master, the priests all say that the white camels can ascend to the temple."
Casas glanced at Noen, then said,
"But Stone Slaves like you cannot."
Noen’s eyelids dropped, and he said nothing.
Just as Casas had said, Stone Slaves were not allowed to set foot in the temple, for the priests believed their unclean blood would defile the sacred ground of the temple if they allowed the soles of the Stone Slaves to touch the earth, their faces blocking the very sunlight meant for the temple, thus offending the great Prophetic God Kagawus.
Only purebred Three-eyed Ape People were qualified to ascend to the temple and offer sacrifices to the Prophetic God Kagawus.
As Noen led Casas’s camel through the market, something caught Casas’s attention. He tugged at the reins, signaling Noen to stop.
