The sun emerged from the cracks in the mountains, and a little sunlight formed a pattern under the division of the mountain peaks, shining on the palaces on these mountains.
They appear to be white as a whole, and some tiny crystal particles can be seen in the stones used to build the temple in the sun. When the sunlight is reflected, a hazy halo emerges.
The entire sanctuary is almost full of such buildings. They are distributed on the continuous white cliff plateau. Some are on the top of mountains, some in valleys, and some in open fields. Their style is elegant and grand, and many of them have reliefs.
Show the legends and stories from history.
During the Chaos disaster at the beginning of the Third Age, many great heroes emerged from various places. They fought on the front line, leading people to resist the attacks of the Chaos army and protecting local creatures from surviving.
Among them, there are 427 named heroes recorded in church classics, and 65 of them have been canonized. Duerlan, the founder of the once famous Bailan Cross Sword Sect in Hopeland, was canonized as the White Flower Saint.
After the disaster ended, most of these heroes became local rulers or leaders, and some of their descendants also inherited this status, slowly forming new countries and re-expanding on the barren land.
At that time, hundreds of kingdoms stood in large numbers and annexed each other. It was not until a few hundred years later that the West Wind and Green Green emerged, and finally the Western Continent formed two major groups, namely the Snow Flower Seven Kingdoms and the Green Green Empire.
At about the same time, the scattered islands in the south were also unified by the United Kingdom of Crimsonberry and Young Moon, later referred to as Youngberry.

Aquarius Palace, a remote palace.
Luo Xier stood on a wooden bench, holding a wet towel in one hand and supporting the white jade-like stone pillar with the other, scrubbing away the accumulated dust on the upper part.
As the moist towel was wiped, those gray areas turned clean and white again, revealing the concave and convex and clear reliefs inside.
These reliefs silently tell future generations of the great deeds of the past.
"Rocher, do you want to change shifts?" Bo Li's voice came from below. She was walking from the gate carrying a wooden bucket filled with water.
Luo Xier looked at the condition of the top of the hall, shook her head, and handed the towel in her hand to Bo Li below, asking her to change it to a clean one.
"It's better to wait a while. I'll change it for you after I've finished wiping it. Otherwise, it will be more difficult for you to wipe it."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Luoxier." Bo Li handed a washed towel to the silver-haired nun.
Basically, all the buildings in the Aquarius Palace need to be cleaned every three months. Today it happened to be Luo Xier and Bo Li's turn to clean this palace.
Now, except for the two of them, there is no one else in the hall. There are about a dozen beds scattered among them. The bedding on them has been moved away long ago, leaving only the basic structure of the bed. After they finish cleaning and scrubbing, the debris in the hall will be gone.
I guess it also needs to be cleaned up.
When the sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky, that is, at noon, the two of them took a short rest.
Luo Xier got down from the stool and was about to put the towel into the bucket, but at this time, two people wearing black robes came to the main entrance of the hall.
They were dressed in the same style as the girl saw in that room last night. They were mysterious and capable, and their steps were obviously slow but silent.
"Hello, is Miss Rocher here?" They had never seen this silver-haired nun before.
Bo Li looked up at the two of them, then turned her head curiously and looked at Lorraine Hill.
"That's me." Lorraine Hill put down what he was holding, put his hand into another bucket of water, washed it, and then stood up.
"Hello, Lord Keus is looking for you." There was no emotion in their voices.
"Well, I know." Lorraine Hill turned his head and said to Bo Li.
"Then I'll leave first. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you at noon today."
"It's okay, it's okay." Bo Li waved her hand.
"Senior Luo Xier, please do the important things first, leave this to me."
After tidying up her clothes a little, Luo Xier followed the two of them and walked out of the hall.
They took the girl to a cliff, where two huge bladed eagles stayed. These giant eagles have sharp feathers and are very powerful in combat. However, if you ride on them, you must wear a special saddle, otherwise you will be cut by the feathers.
.
Two men in black robes, each controls a giant eagle, and Rocher rides on the back of one of them.
As the giant eagle jumped down from the cliff and spread its wings nearly ten meters, the cold wind in the valley cut across the skin like a thin knife.
Surrounded by the rapidly receding scenery, and beneath me was an abyss, everything in the field of vision changed rapidly with the flight of the bladed eagle. If you were an ordinary person, your nervous heart would probably burst out of your throat at this time.
After wandering through the peaks and canyons for a long time, the temples and buildings in the field of vision became fewer and fewer, and became sparser and sparse. Finally, two giant eagles stopped on a special mountainside platform.
The terrain structure here is very special. There is a short and large mountain in the center. The mountain is roughly like an obtuse cone, surrounded by tall and thin peaks. They appear as rough circles, surrounding the mountain in the middle.
There are tall lighthouses on every peak around it, with big bells and people also dressed in black.
After the giant eagle landed on the platform in the middle of the mountain, the three of them jumped down and continued inward.
First, at the gate, after some formalities and inspections, the six guards in black armor were cautiously released.
The inward passage is very spacious, with torches stuck on the surrounding walls, and water occasionally drips from the top of the passage.
"Where is this place?" Luo Xier asked, her ethereal voice carried far away in the passage.
"This is the headquarters of the Judgment Division, and there are also some prisoners awaiting execution in the mountain." The man walking in front answered.
"But don't worry, Miss Luo Xier, we just want to ask you to help with some work." The man behind the girl added.
Generally speaking, there is no need for such a gentle explanation. However, Lord Keus gave special instructions today, so the two of them were more polite. Otherwise, with their usual reputation and methods, people in the church would only be frightened and nervous after hearing this.
As a special organ within the church, the Adjudication Division has always been mysterious. It is said that they can directly execute those fallen church members. They usually hide in the dark and monitor priests and nuns everywhere.
As a spy agency, they rarely explain to the outside world. It is said that almost no pastors captured by the Adjudication Division come back alive. Moreover, unlike other church personnel, they do not follow various rules and morals.
Once it is determined that the target needs to be dealt with, various effective methods will be used, including but not limited to poisoning, assassination, extermination of families, cross-continental pursuit, etc. It has always been famous and bloody.
Sometimes even good people are afraid of being implicated and misunderstood by outsiders, and will be included in the list of arrests and processing by the Adjudication Division.
Luo Xier recalled various rumors and introductions about the Adjudication Division, until a long time later, the voice of a man in black robes came from beside her.
