Chapter 382 Divine favor is like the sea, divine power is like prison

"This...this is..."

Sister Arela looked up with doubts on her face.

Immediately he showed some excitement.

"What a blessing our Lord has given us!"

The holy light is like a giant pillar reaching the sky, descending on the city of Nevis. Amid the warning voice of the mage Tower Spirit, the type of power is quickly identified.

Identified as...

Divine grace!

Divine grace, divine gift, a kind of blessing technique.

The arcane community usually understands it as some kind of super long-lasting magical power blessing, which is equivalent to a permanent buff effect.

For most short-growing species, and even long-growing species with a lifespan of less than a thousand years, the effect is "permanent".

Roland also received a similar blessing, giving him the "Blessing of Nomos" and the ability to "read the law".

However, the goddess of light was obviously much more generous towards Luo Guang.

"Holy Protection"

Effect 1: Comes with a holy light shield, with durability equivalent to 200hp...

This is close to the body of an adult dragon. In other words, with just the power of this guardian, Luo Guang, a newborn baby, can "jump into a volcanic lava lake to take a bath" and "carry a house-sized stone from the front." Smashing", "hardly attacking high-level warriors" and other things.

This kind of shield can be restored after being treated by holy light spells and positive energy, giving it abundant vitality out of thin air.

Effect 2: Immune to most negative energy and toxins.

As the data shows, it is immune to all poisons.

Effect 3: Tolerance to elemental forces and enhanced environmental resistance.

This can withstand extremely cold or hot environments.

"Divine Blessing"

Effect: Strength +6

A baby's power is very small and will not show any effect for the time being, but as it grows older, it can have effects equivalent to natural divine power.

……

Roland quickly learned the details from the Mage Tower.

He turned around and looked at the daughter who was emitting holy white light, like a holy baby, and couldn't help but wonder secretly.

What does the goddess of light want to do?

To train her to be a messenger in the world?

The Holy See does have the practice of canonizing saints or cultivating diviners, but these usually occur in the most devout believer families and rarely leave the country.

In other words, God's favor is usually predicated on joining the church and serving the Holy See.

Roland had no intention of letting his daughter become a believer and fight for the Holy See.

"How lucky I am to witness this miracle!"

Sister Arela and others knelt down and prayed excitedly, and looked at Luo Guang with even more excited and eager eyes.

They quickly contacted the Holy See "Light God Realm Lellingforth" and confirmed the information about the divine gift.

……

At this moment, the God of Light Realm Leilinfusi.

In a huge church that was as majestic as standing above the clouds, several archbishops in red robes and the white-haired pope were discussing matters in the main hall.

Suddenly, golden light lit up.

The light like the blade of a sword penetrates the clouds and shines on the huge square like a sea of ​​clouds.

The entire Lellingforth Cathedral shows the color of clouds, and looks like it is built of gold bricks, full of splendor.

Behind the Pope, the statue of the Goddess of Light, which occupied an entire high wall and reached the dome, appeared like a giant.

The figure of the goddess, which was tens of meters tall, appeared, with twelve golden wings spread out from behind, spreading towards the walls on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, the golden holy light enveloped the entire hall with a radiance like clouds.

"Oh God……"

All the archbishops stood up and knelt down upwards.

The Pope also turned his head in surprise and bowed down.

"..."

With a thought transmission, the majestic heavenly sound composed of spiritual power rippled.

It is a will from God, and only believers with a spiritual frequency close to it, or clergy with high status, can hear it.

"Atline...holy light..."

There was a look of surprise on the Pope's face.

The last time he showed such an expression was many years ago when the Lord of Glory cut out the incarnation of the Goddess of Light and established his own incarnation and image in the human world.

That means the personal evolution of the Father, the Daughter, and the Holy Spirit.

Another important deity, the goddess of light, began to be worshiped by Protestants.

However, the first person to be honored by the oracle was not the Holy See Lellingfuss. This made conservatives once doubtful and even questioned the Archdiocese of Leiner for fraud.

Moreover, not all believers recognize the image of the goddess of light created by Roland with "The Gift of the Goddess of Light".

The power of their beliefs is not unified, and they all have their own directions of worship and imagination.

The Pope is actually a member of the conservative forces. Coupled with the disputes over secular power, he naturally needs to maintain suppression of the Archdiocese of Lena and cannot casually approve the reform plans they propose.

But this time, the Goddess of Light came to Lellingforth Cathedral in person, which shocked him deeply.

Could it be said that God really chose the Archdiocese of Lena and the Seris School?

He buried his head deeply and listened devoutly to the instructions coming from above, trying to understand the foresight and foresight contained in them.

……

"Your Excellency Roland, Lellingforth publicly announced that he had received the oracle, and the specific content was kept secret.

But immediately afterwards, a message was sent, intending to canonize Miss Luo Guang as a saint and enjoy the treatment of a favored person by the gods. "

"I think it's better to dispense with it. I can accept the title of God's Favored One, but if she is a saint, she will inevitably be given the title of Messenger of God or Incarnation in the World. When the time comes, the church will have to pursue her and ask to join, or even You must remain chaste for life and cannot get married.

I don't want my daughter to live like this for the rest of her life.

At least, she must be allowed to make a choice after she becomes an adult and has a mature personal will. "

Facing the huge benefits, Roland was extremely sober.

"Although the Church of Light is the orthodox believer of the Seven Gods and has the freedom to preach in Atrein, Lord Roland has a high position and special status. His daughter cannot accept the canonization of the Holy See..."

"Just enjoy the treatment of the God's Favorite, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Atrein's Arcane Council also responded quickly.

Everyone's opinion is quite unanimous, that is, the benefits can be taken, but the obligations cannot be fulfilled.

Roland is not a family of believers and has no obligation to serve God.

The Holy See expressed regret for this, but still gave up very generously.

They don't have the ability to rush to Atrein to rob people, and they don't have the right to influence Luo Guang's life.

Since the hard one is not enough, the only choice is the soft one.

The Holy See immediately instructed the archdiocese on the Atline side to actively publicize the matter.

This is to use Roland's reputation and prestige to strengthen the legitimacy of the Church of the Goddess of Light. Secondly, it also binds Luo Guang to the Church of Light in terms of public opinion.

In this way, when she reaches adulthood, she will have a greater chance of choosing to believe in the goddess of light and fall into the embrace of God.

In addition, Alela and others have also expressed their willingness to stay as nannies to take care of the children, or have the Holy See provide help to provide them with childcare services. A newborn baby needs to be raised, and this is influenced by reasonable needs.

Even if you just tell fairy tales during the period of infants and young children, use holy water baptism and holy light blessing, they can guide them in a subtle way.

Roland thought carefully about this and then agreed.

Anyway, these people from the Light Church cannot live at home 24 hours a day, so they can only work day shifts.

For the other eighteen hours, the maid at home is in charge.

When Luo Guang gets older, it will be logical for him and Atali to provide education and guidance.

Since the Church of the Goddess of Light is a legal organization, he doesn't mind the other party exerting influence on his daughter, as long as he doesn't become one of those fanatical believers.

And he is also confident that the Church of Light will not be so ignorant.

Just like the monk who lured the emperor into becoming a monk would be beaten into a monster monk, there would also be a price to pay for abducting the daughter of the arcane committee member.

This is the confidence that the Arcane Empire has given him.

……

"Your Excellency Roland, please come this way. Your Excellency Antonia will be here soon.

What drink do you want? "

"not needed for now."

At Lain Mage Tower, in the reception room of the Arcane Committee, Roland returned here with ease and sat down to wait quietly.

Soon after, Antonia's figure appeared at the door.

"Roland, you came to me because of the previous divine grace incident?"

"Yes, your Excellency may have guessed the intention of the goddess of light?"

Roland stood up and signaled, watching Antonia sit down opposite him, and then followed suit.

"I know a little bit about this. It should be to expand my influence in the mortal world and cooperate with the Siris School for development.

You don’t have to be too nervous, as this is how church expansion is often done. "

Antonia told.

Roland pondered for a moment and nodded.

In the history of Seris, missionaries from outside churches were not uncommon.

Some succeed, others tend to fail.

Localization and integration into the Seris civilization are one of the wise choices.

Of course, the magical world cannot copy those historical experiences mechanically, but the magical world also has legendary mages and powers comparable to gods.

A certain sense of balance can also be achieved between the two.

Therefore, Antonia's judgment is that the goddess of light does not have any malicious intentions.

Moreover, as a lawful good god, this kind of legal restraint is more reliable than any secular human morality.

The interests he pursues are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is meaningless to speculate on them.

"The vision of the gods can often see further than mortals. Perhaps your fate is still there in a distant corner that we don't know. Maybe He wants to build more good relationships with you."

Antonia glanced at Roland meaningfully, indicating something.

"You mean that I also have a chance to achieve immortality, become a legend, and even embark on the road to becoming a god?"

Roland said with a smile.

"You can't say for sure. Maybe you can do it?"

Antonia shrugged and smiled.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Roland laughed heartily.

"Then I accept your good advice."

……

Parish of Lellingforth, in the cathedral.

The pope's old body stood in front of the magnificent building, overlooking the sea of ​​clouds below, his eyes desolate and slightly reluctant.

But it was soon replaced by determination.

"Your Majesty, the archives in the Great Library have been sealed, and the first batch of sacred scriptures and other items have been packed and are ready to be shipped at any time."

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous armor and extraordinary equipment came over and saluted the Pope's back.

"Okay, you set out immediately and secretly escort them to Lena's world."

The middle-aged man said with a hint of confusion: "Although this is an order issued by you and the archbishops, I still don't quite understand why..."

The Pope turned around and said slowly: "This matter involves confidentiality, but I can tell you clearly.

Our Lord's eyes have already seen the dangers of the future. Our Lord made a prophecy that the Abyss Legion will destroy Sinvela, destroy Donion, and destroy Cyril...

Those illustrious magic empires and witchcraft empires will eventually be like ants on the ground, submerged by the monstrous flood.

Only with the favor of God, the world of Reiner can be spared.

That place is a new continent and a place of hope. "

Upon hearing the Pope's extremely serious words, the expression on the middle-aged man's face quickly became surprised.

He said in disbelief: "It's just Sinvela who is under attack. Can't even the other empires withstand the attack of the Abyss Legion?

and many more……

Is Lellingforth going to be destroyed too?

Also, why is the Land of Hope not Atrein? Could it be said that Atline might also be destroyed in this catastrophe? "

Catastrophes to all sentient beings such as the Abyss Legion's undead and natural disasters occur from time to time in the magical world. There have also been several large-scale catastrophes that spread to the entire universe. Each time, it can create boundless disasters and involve countless planes and worlds.

As a result, all major worlds and religions have similar apocalyptic legends.

As a high-ranking clergyman, this middle-aged man had read many historical books and mythological stories, and immediately understood his mission.

This is their history and culture, and it is also a lesson learned from the past.

However, the holy land of the Holy See, Lellingfors, might be destroyed. This prophecy made by the god himself still frightened him.

Moreover, he didn't quite understand why the Land of Hope was in Reiner and not Atrein, which was far stronger than Reiner.

"The grace of the gods has been given a long time ago, and the saints and heroes who hold high the banner of defeating the devil have been born. Everything is under the control of God.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt or worry, just follow God’s arrangements. "

The Pope shook his head.

He actually had similar confusion, but the goddess of light did not explain it in detail, nor did she clearly say whether Atrein would be destroyed.

The only thing that's certain is that we can't stay here anymore.

However, hasty large-scale relocation can easily trigger a series of chain reactions, and may even destroy the predictions made by the gods, causing even worse consequences.

In order to protect the prophecy of the saint and to maintain the orthodoxy of the church, they will follow the oracle and make their final resistance here.

Only in this way can we gain grace and ascend to heaven after death.

The middle-aged man looked at the Pope and suddenly understood.

The life and death of everyone here is clear.

Everything here has its causes and consequences determined.

This is God’s prophecy and God’s arrangement!
