"Looks like she's interested in you, Rogark, and she's kind of concerned about you. Karifi slapped Herol with his elbow and said teasingly, before Snya asked, "But which temple did she come from?"

"Saying things like 'put your mind somewhere else' must come from the temple of 'legacy', because they are people who are focused on their careers and ways to make money. Hirol said calmly, after all, Ruth mentioned the word 'baron', so Herol could be sure that she had come out of the Golden Temple.

"Still, she said the baron... Who are you? You know, Rogke?" Carifey wondered who the baron was. "Let's talk about it later, the mentor is here. ”

Bravi had already stepped up to the podium from the side door of the podium, and all the congregants looked at the podium, waiting for Bravi's instructions. Unlike other schools, where students are given books and the like, each person is given a notebook to record some key words, and these keywords are used in the actual practice, not for written exams.

Bravi walked to the back of the platform in the center of the podium, and shouted, "All the congregants sit down, you can choose the seats, a maximum of four people, a minimum of two people, you are confident and decided." "Because the tables and chairs in the main hall are all long tables and benches connected together, the length of these long tables and chairs can support up to four people, but the Cult of God is free inside, and it is not forced that your table must be filled with four people, but there must be two people, and the reason is only a few people understand.

All the congregants sat on the benches, Hirol naturally sat at the same table with Karifi and Snia, and there were only three of them at the table, as for Ruth, she was naturally sitting at the same table with the other three ladies, and it was impossible for any male congregation to be involved in the past, after all, the consequence of doing so was likely to be excommunicated from the sect.

"This is your first lesson, so let's start with the simplest. Since what I am teaching is mind cultivation, as the name suggests, it is your state of mind that you want to practice. Bravi didn't rush to talk about the process of mind cultivation, if he wanted these inexperienced new sectarians to really learn mind cultivation, he had to use some examples to make all the sect members have an impression in their minds, "The most basic thing about mind cultivation is to maintain a stable state of mind in the process of practice, there was once a sect member like you, because of the dual-purpose in the process of practice, his nerves were divided, and a second personality that was easily irritable was produced." There was once a person who went to the holy church we first established to seek salvation, but there was already a personality hidden in this person's heart, and because of the confusion of thoughts during the practice, the second personality completely appeared and controlled the person's mind for a long time. And when the second personality is fully awakened, it will cause the practitioner to change everything he sees in front of him into another situation, and in this situation, he will not hear the truth of others, and he will automatically filter it into what he wants to hear and accept, and in this situation, he will imagine himself as the person he wants to be the most, or a rich man full of wealth, or a fighter full of fighting ability. So, after that incident, we in the Church of God began to strictly select believers. ”

Speaking of which, many congregants know why there are no conditions for the number of candidates, but the conditions for shortlisted candidates are very harsh, and there is such a precedent.

"We can control it, but we can't do anything about the second personality. However, since you can pass the previous assessment, it proves that you are still somewhat capable. Now, our class has officially begun!" After Bravi finished saying this, the two disciples brought up a blackboard, and Bravi picked up the chalk, ready to explain the major essentials of mind cultivation.

"First of all, since mind cultivation is an academic discipline that cultivates the body and mind, the first thing to do is 'stillness'. Calm your mind and think about it, although you have learned in other temples how to make your heart empty, but the test in the chapel will be ten times more rigorous. Bravi said solemnly and began to write on the blackboard, "The evil spirit is born from the aura of depravity, but also from fear, in short, greed for money, anger, lust, and fear, of which fear is the most important section. Everyone has fear, and the main thing to practice is to overcome fear. ”

As he spoke, Bravi raised his right hand and stretched it out to the right, and under the guidance of the mana flow, Bravi summoned a water elemental without any face, and everyone who came out of the 'Flame But' Temple seemed to understand what the so-called test would be.

"The people who came out of the Flame Temple should know what this is. But I am not as good as Elder Marvilimo, and what I have summoned is not a true illusion that can reflect your heart. The one I summoned was a minion creature that had made a pact with me, called the Thousand Faces, and its trait was that it could transform at will. Next, I'm going to put you on stage one by one, and all you have to do is face the Thousand Faces for 1 minute, and within that minute you don't take a step back, and you've succeeded. ”

Bravi designated the closer congregation to walk to the podium, and then Bravi first walked in front of the congregation, and put his hand on the forehead of the congregation, and after 2 seconds of silence, Bravi took a few steps back, and then put his hand on the 'Thousand Faces', and soon the 'Thousand Faces' body changed and turned into a giant python.

This is the most fearful thing in the hearts of the cultists, seeing this transformed python, the cult shivered, and unconsciously took a few steps back, and the python was still approaching the congregation, the congregation kept retreating, and accidentally fell on the podium, the python opened its mouth and pounced on the congregation, the congregant closed his eyes in fear, and stretched out his hand to block in front of him.

But in fact, nothing happened, and the giant python did not devour the sect member, nor did it attack, after all, it was only a transformation of the 'Thousand Faces Monster', and it was not aggressive. By the time the cultist sat slumped and closed their eyes, the 'Thousand Faces' had already reverted back to its original form.

"Obviously, I got someone who would do the wrong thing and come up, the next one. Bravi said indifferently, because the performance of the congregation was really disappointing, and the congregation had to step down in disgrace, and soon a second congregation also came to the stage to test.

"It's easier than the test in the Flame Temple, but it's even more difficult. Karifi complained, and Hirol felt the difference, saying, "Although the creatures that have changed will not attack, but will only get close to the target to scare at close range, there must be some kind of fear in people, and when this fear does appear in front of them, and gradually amplify, it is useless to warn oneself." ”

"Is there really no one who doesn't have fear?" Snia was worried, after all, he knew what he was most afraid of, and he hoped that Rogke could give him some advice, or ideas, so that he could be a little prepared when he came to power next.

"If you care, you will lose, and it is precisely because of this care that people will be afraid. Some people care about their lives and are afraid of something that threatens their lives, and some people who care about people or pets in their hearts are afraid of losing them, afraid that they will be taken away or harmed... No one is perfect, no one is not afraid, the greater the ambition, the more afraid of death, the happiness of life is afraid of loss, and there is no desire and fear of loneliness. Herol sighed helplessly, because he also knew what he was afraid of, and that was loneliness.

"Rogark, come up. Bravi called Hero's name, and Herol walked up to the pulpit with trepidation, and all eyes were on Hiroel, after all, Hiroel's reputation had spread among the cult of God, but some of these eyes were just because they wanted to learn the method of restraint, and some were ill-intentioned and hoped that Herol would fail.

But there was a person who looked at him curiously and worriedly, and that person was Ruth. Ruth was very curious, a chosen person like Rogark, who had easily passed all the tests of the three temples, what he was most afraid of, and the worry was that he was afraid that conjuring up something would cause Rogark to suffer a heavy blow in his heart. (Note (1))

Hirol himself was mentally prepared, but he was just curious about what would become of the Thousand-Faced Demon.

"You... Your heart is a little messy, are you sure you're ready?" Before starting, Bravi put his hand on Hero's forehead to perceive it as before, but Bravi then asked Hirol in a serious voice, Hirol seemed to feel that something was wrong, but Hirol has to face it after all, and it will come sooner or later, so it is better to face it early.

"Ready. Hirol said firmly, he wanted to see what the Thousand Faces were about to become that would make the Mentor so afraid.

Bravi shook his head, and then put his hand on the body of the Thousand Faces, who quickly changed, and Bravi's hands also appeared with flames, as if he was doing a defensive measure.

Suddenly, the Thousand Faces Demon was shrouded in dark fog and turned into a black sphere, and then the sphere exploded, and the black fog was dispersed by the strong wind, and there was a person standing on the podium who looked exactly like Hiroel, but this person was covered in black smoke, and behind him was demonic wings transformed by black mist.

The moment this person appeared, all the sect members did not react, but they felt that the appearance of this change was a bit gorgeous, except for Hiroel's legs that kept trembling, while Bravi kept being serious, and the flames on his hands became stronger and stronger.

The sweat on Hiroel's head was getting bigger and bigger, and the current situation seemed to be beyond his expectations, but the people in the audience didn't know what was happening. Suddenly, the 'Thousand Faces' pounced on Hiroel, who did not retreat at all because of his weak legs, and sat directly on the ground, but Bravi actually intervened and directly hit the flame in his hand at the Thousand Faces Demon, who was burned and turned back to its original state.

And Herol sat on the ground, frightened.
