Chapter 147 - 126 Kagawus Doesn’t Even Know He’s the Creator_2
Casas’s retort had just fallen when the priests suddenly looked at each other in dismay and then began to feel embarrassed.
Yes, according to the rules of the Temple, the Stone Slave sitting on the camel, draped in carpet, could enter the Temple.
Casas pulled on the reins, swaggering as he led the camel, and Noen, peeking through a narrow slit, caught a glimpse of the priests’ ashen faces, couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly.
The priests watched Casas’s figure, and after exchanging glances, recalling that his father was Ajia’s Prime Minister, they could not help but sigh.
They turned their backs, deciding out of sight, out of mind.
Casas then led the camel into the Temple, and Noen lifted his head, peering through the slit, and immediately saw the towering Divine Statue of the Prophetic God Kagawus holding a scroll and a Coconut Date branch in one hand, and a spread palm in the other, cradling an Eye of Prophecy.
The Eye of Prophecy was alive, still marked with traces of blood, trembling slightly in the wind.
On the days of worship, the Temple would extract an Eye of Prophecy from the Stone Slaves. Even though the Stone Slaves’ Eyes of Prophecy could not use the power of prophecy, they could still serve as sacrificial offerings to the Prophetic God.
In addition, during major celebrations, the Temple priests would sacrifice cattle and sheep, and if Nobles committed grave sins, the priests would execute these nobles themselves, plucking out their Eyes of Prophecy as offerings to the Divine.
After all, the Three-eyed Ape People never lacked a tradition of sacrifice.
Noen gazed up at the immense statue of Kagawus as Casas slowly walked the camel, allowing the Stone Slave with ungrounded feet and unobstructed face to get closer to the Divine Statue for a clearer view.
