Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

In all fairness, Deltina thinks this set of teachings is not bad. It guides people to be a good person who is humble, easy-going, helpful, broad-minded and does not hold grudges. It is really good, and she is willing to be such a person.

It’s just that it’s somewhat out of place and ungrounded in a place like the City of Oracles.

Because it is too gentle, and there are too many clauses.

During these years in the City of Oracles, she visited many sects and heard many teachings.

This city advocates religious freedom, and even the teachings of various sects are also free...

In order to compete, many emerging sects hardly impose any restrictions in their teachings except for a few necessary rules and public order and good customs. They only emphasize that there is no taboo, and it is up to the believers to be free and happy.

Therefore, the main content of their teachings is all kinds of stories and jokes, which bring out how advanced and fashionable their beliefs are. It is time to get rid of those old-fashioned terms and clauses.

These are two completely different styles from the teachings of the Avia sect.

That is to say, those truly popular sects with a long history, profound heritage, and impregnable positions can still adhere to the traditional teachings of rules and regulations.

But under the influence of this fashionable new atmosphere, even these sects had to adjust and adapt, removing many restrictions.

In the end, it turned out that the Avia sect, whose name had never been heard, was still adhering to these ancient traditions.

But there are many terms and conditions, but there is no punishment for violating the teaching, but it is simply guiding and admonishing, which is extraordinarily gentle.

Like this set of simple initiation ceremonies, after preaching the teachings, go to pay respects in front of the goddess, and learn the gesture of pressing her right hand to her chest. Deltina will be officially enrolled and become the first disciple of the Avia sect. a believer.

Like the sects outside, the teachings are often simple and the rituals are complex, with special emphasis on step norms and the so-called sense of ritual.

The Avia sect is completely reversed...

Is it really like what Pastor Rorschach said, Lord Avia is a very gentle and kind god?

Deltina praised in her heart, and then asked:

"Pastor Rorschach, tell me about Lord Avia again?"

"If you say this, then I won't be sleepy!"

Rorschach got excited all of a sudden.

"Miss Avia is the most beautiful, gentle and kind goddess in the world. She is in charge of the four fields of healing, enlightenment, redemption, and hope. She sits on the lofty throne, and everything she can see is divine land, majestic and majestic. , shining in all directions..."

What he said caused a look of doubt to flash across Deltina's face.

Generally speaking, when believers brag about the power of their gods, they use words very carefully.

For example, the unpredictable, moody and highly popular deity Parr, his believers usually say to the outside world that "he claims to be in charge of the relevant authority in the field of wisdom and good luck."

And even the legendary Northland Holy See, who loves to talk big but has not been able to settle in the city of the oracle, said to the outside world that "the goddess claims to be in charge of the four fields of war, judgment, commandment, and protection."

'External declaration' and 'relevant authority' are two very important keywords.

As a result, Pastor Rorschach directly omitted the key words...

Even Deltina, who doesn't know much about theology and sects, knows the difference between 'claim' and 'actual', and even more that 'field' and 'relevant authority' are not concepts at the same level at all.

Reverend Rorschach really dares to brag...

If Lady Avia was really that powerful, I wouldn't have known her reputation today.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether the gods are powerful or not. After all, many sects don't even believe in the gods themselves, but a kind of idea or posture of them. Deltina will definitely not dislike her newly-acquainted goddess.

What's more, she didn't join the sect for the goddess, but for her priest, Rorschach.

So after Rorschach boasted, Deltina quickly seized the opportunity and changed the subject:

"By the way~ the powerful blessing I got yesterday, what is it..."

Luo Xia didn't expect that she would ask this suddenly, so he rubbed his chin and answered after a little thought:

"Well... since you have joined the religion, you can talk about it, but don't go out and say it. You must always remember the goddess' teaching: you should be humble and low-key, and you should not be arrogant."

Deltina nodded repeatedly.

"The blessing you received yesterday is called [Flame of Counterattack], and it will take the initiative to fight back against the evil and filth that tried to harm you, but you must have courage and hope... If you give up even courage and hope, then there is no counterattack .”

Rorschach briefly introduced the blessing, but didn't go into too much detail, omitting rank and faction.

In fact, this is a seventh-level protection magic, a genuine and powerful blessing.

The specific effects and powers are a little more complicated than what he described...

Theoretically speaking, as long as the courage and hope in the heart are strong and hot enough, it can fight back against all evil and filth in the world.

everything!

Of course, how much damage it can achieve is a matter of another level.

In short, the upper limit of this magical technique is still very high, and Luo Xia will also get used to blessing himself.

It's a pity that so far, he hasn't triggered the effect of counterattack, so he doesn't know how powerful it is?

Deltina basically didn't know anything about divine arts, so she must believe what Rorschach said, so she nodded and praised:

"It is indeed a great blessing."

She had personally experienced the effect of this magic spell yesterday.

Said to protect himself from evil and filth in the most reasonable way, but in the end burned the shadow hunter to ashes with a flame in the shadow...

Is this approach really reasonable?

She didn't ask any more questions, lacking due curiosity about this kind of magic that can destroy mystery.

I didn't even think there was anything wrong with it.

Next, Deltina chose to take the initiative and asked Rorschach about his hobbies and personal topics such as whether he had a girlfriend or not.

After getting the answer, she was content to leave and leave.

Although she still had a lot to say to Luo Xia, she didn't dare to stay here for too long.

If others noticed the relationship between the two, it might bring all kinds of troubles to Rorschach.

So Deltina reluctantly returned the little milk cat to Luo Xia, and waved goodbye to him.

Luo Xia stood in front of the gate, watched her go away, then frowned slightly, and sighed softly:

"Pity……"

He originally thought that Deltina would take the initiative to come to the door to join the religion, and she was so generous in her offerings, that she would be the kind of devout believer like himself.

It turned out not that she was just a shallow believer.

The Undertaker: Chapter 31 31. Evil comes from the guts

Rorschach's criteria for distinguishing devout believers from superficial believers is simple, it just depends on why people join the religion.

When preaching the teachings and praising the goddess to Deltina, he could clearly feel that although this bold kryptonian did not contradict the teachings, he could not be regarded as particularly agreeing with them; his interest in the goddess was far less than that of the goddess own interest.

Although shallow believers are also believers, they should be treated equally, and it is better to have something than nothing, not to mention that the other party is so generous.

But he still hopes to have more devout believers, this is the backbone of a sect.

And the reason why he chose to preach honestly instead of performing divine magic in public to show his holiness in front of people, on the one hand, is because of the teachings, one should be humble and low-key, and not arrogant; on the other hand, it is also because the believers attracted by magic Most are not too religious.

What the sect should believe in and worship is the goddess, not magic and him, the priest.

Therefore, Deltina's performance still made him feel a little regretful. She should also be attracted by divine arts.

Fortunately, the problem is not too big, as long as you teach carefully, shallow believers can also develop into devout believers, it just takes more thought and time.

Luo Xia was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps behind him.

Nota was running towards him against the drizzle in the sky, with a pair of golden twin ponytails dancing lightly, showing youth and vitality.

When Rorschach and Deltina were hugging and communicating cordially just now...

Nota cleaning the clergy quarters...

Now that they have finished cleaning, they come over to fight for the little milk cat, and ask for credit by the way.

"Senior, I have tidied up the dormitory, it is spotless!"

While talking, Nota picked up the kitten from the ground, rubbed it against his face, and immediately realized that something was wrong?

"Huh? Why do you have a special smell?"

"Meow meow~ meow meow meow!"

The little milk cat meowed in a childish voice and reported truthfully.

It's a pity that Nota can't understand...

Rorschach didn't help with the translation, but re-spoken:

"Knight Nota, you came just in time, and then the church will be handed over to you to guard, and I will go shopping."

"Eh? Are seniors going to buy potatoes?"

Nota asked back.

"How is it possible? Of course it is to buy some important necessities."

As Luo Xia said, he took out a shining gold coin from his waist, and smiled evilly.

"Knight Nota, we have money!"

Nota looked at the gold coin, her emerald green eyes suddenly widened, wondering if she seemed to have missed some key plot?

........................

On Deltina's side, after leaving Avia Church, she didn't wander around. Instead, she hailed a taxi and went straight back to the apartment, intending to catch up on a good night's sleep.

Although it was still morning, she had slept in the bathtub for a few hours in the two days combined, and she was extremely tired.

She took a quick shower, changed into a translucent tulle pajamas, her enchanting figure looming, and then got into the bed.

Originally, he wanted to just fall asleep like this, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Rorschach's figure appeared in front of his eyes again, and the teachings he said before came back to his ears.

Deltina opened her eyes again, lay down on the bed, pressed her heart with her right hand, and prepared to pray to the goddess before going to bed.

Anyway, I have officially joined the religion, so these rituals must naturally be maintained.

"Woo~ Although I pressed very hard, I still can't feel my heartbeat?"

"Forget it, let's make do with it, I believe the gentle Lord Avia won't blame me."

She muttered a few words in a low voice first, then began to pray formally:

"Beautiful, gentle and kind Goddess, I have a crush on Priest Rorschach, should I continue? Or should I give up these wild thoughts? Keep a pure friendship?"

"He doesn't seem to have any special feelings for me. Am I not good-looking enough? Or is my dress not trendy enough?"

"What should I do?"

After saying these words, she didn't expect to get an answer, so she closed her eyes and briefly planned in her mind how to spend the next week of vacation?

You definitely can't go to Avia Church every day, you have to keep a certain distance, otherwise you will look like an undisciplined bad woman, and you are more likely to bring danger and trouble to Pastor Rorschach...

Instead, you can go shopping and buy some beautiful new dresses, isn't it just a bonus of 200 gold coins?

But you can’t spend too much. You have to donate half of the money to the church one after another, and then save some to buy yourself a small house...

Thinking about it, she fell asleep in a daze.

Then I had a strange dream.

In the dream, she seemed to have come to a bright and magnificent church, surrounded by flowers, and a wedding was being held.

In the middle of the church stood the well-dressed Rorschach, wearing a crown, holding a scepter, wearing an extremely gorgeous cassock, and a dazzling golden waistcoat on his shoulders. He looked handsome and pleasing to the eye. Do not close your legs.

It turns out that Priest Rorschach could look better?

Is he hosting a wedding for someone?

Deltina was thinking in a daze in the dream.

But then, she discovered that Rorschach was not the host, but the groom?

He actually dressed as a priest and married a bride in a white wedding dress?

And that bride is even more mysterious, except for a pure white wedding dress, she can't see anything clearly about her figure and appearance, it's all hazy.

But even if it is so vague, it still makes people feel that she must be very beautiful, gentle and kind, and she must be the most beautiful bride in the world.

Deltina suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration and sadness.
