St. Radines, the Temple of the Lord of Light. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the Gothic architecture of St. Owen, the Church of Light, the buildings of the Church of Light are all Baroque. The three-dimensional effect of the arc is added to the ornate and exaggerated carvings, showing the great work of ecclesiastical absolutism.

At this time, a milky white light radiated from the doors and windows of the temple, which was a sign that the prayer ceremony was being held. At this time, the inhabitants of St. Radiance gather in the streets and squares to open their left hand and receive the gift of the god of light.

Today's ceremony, the light shining brightly, is particularly eye-catching, and it is clear that this time is different from the past, and it is a very important prayer ceremony. Countless believers sang the praises of the god of light, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground and kissed the light that overflowed on the ground.

When the light had faded and the prayers were over, the bishops walked out of the great temple in twos and threes, and they talked to each other. More than one bishop felt the will of the god of light, Reedians, in prayer, and the destruction of the entire city due to the Dark Church's attack on Scott a few days ago, even the temple was not spared, which had clearly angered the god of light.

Compared to other gods, the god of light seems to prefer to maintain a sense of mystery in order to increase the awe of believers, and the usual prayers are often felt by only a few people, and sometimes only the Pope can feel it, so the specific orders can only be conveyed by the Pope. But this time was different, and more than forty people, including three cardinals, nine archbishops, and twenty-five bishops, clearly felt the wrath of the God of Light.

Mary attended the ceremony as a high priest. She took over the command of the battle at the Battle of Scott City, and was the one who ordered the use of trebuchets to destroy the Temple of Light in Scott City. However, instead of being punished, Mary received more divine favors. Mary's priesthood level was directly increased by one level, which made her stand out among the high priests and became the twenty-sixth bishop of the Church of Light.

In the clerical system, the bishop has a very large power, and can control the church in one city and one place. Mary was able to become a bishop at the age of less than twenty, so she naturally attracted everyone's attention. When the light of the light divine power descended on Mary, raising her level directly to level six, the surrounding bishops and archbishops had different expressions. There are those who are pleased, there are those who are jealous, and there are those who are resentful, but Mary just looked at these expressions one by one with an indifferent expression.

By contributing their devout faith in the gods, clergy can obtain various divine arts by simply praying, and improve their attributes through the gods who descend from the gods. In essence, it is equivalent to indirectly gaining power through the gifts of the gods. Therefore, it is much easier for the priest to obtain power than the law and battle positions, and Mei Li has directly improved her level this time through the god of light.

The priesthood and warfare functions receive much less help from the gods than the clergy. For example, the magicians of the Church of Light can only gain the bonus of Light Divine Power when using light magic. Priests and priests, on the other hand, no matter what kind of magic they use, are the use of the divine power of light.

But there are always pros and cons to everything, and the clergy will encounter bottlenecks after reaching a higher level. The promotion of the clergy depends on the power of the gods and the amount of their own gods, and a clergyman who is not favored by the gods will not only not be able to be promoted to the rank, but may be demoted at any time. This is also an important reason why many strong people despise the clergy.

In history, there are many clergymen who have lost all their power due to the fall of the gods and have directly become ordinary people. Due to their arrogance as priests, most of them rarely die well.

After the ceremony, the cardinals in red robes and the archbishops in purple robes stepped forward one by one to congratulate Mary.

"Congratulations, Bishop Jones. ”

"It's all the result of the care and teaching of the teachers and the bishops. ”

"I was appointed bishop because of the war in Scott City, and it seems that you will have to show more in the next war. ”

"I will do my little bit for the light. ”

"Mary, you have to work harder as a bishop in the future. ”

"Shine on all beings. ”

In the face of the congratulations of the bishops, Mary returned the gift one by one. Even the aristocratic etiquette teacher of the Magic Academy can't find fault here. Immediately afterward, Mary walked up to a cardinal dressed in a red robe, with a stern-faced, thin body.

"Cardinal Bond. I've heard that you've been treating Oscar these days, and I've worked hard for you. Mary bowed sincerely.

"Yes, that poor boy, so badly wounded. Almost all the bones in his body were rejoined, and it took me two full rebirth techniques to save his life. And because the treatment is not timely, it is uncertain whether it will affect the strength in the future after recovery......

Although light magic also has a certain healing effect, the principle is to stimulate the potential of the body through light, accelerate one's own metabolism to achieve the purpose of healing. For those who are seriously injured, the healing technique of the light system will aggravate the pain due to the overdrawing of life force. In contrast, green magic is the healing magic that really increases vitality.

Because of the bonus effect of the God of Light on light magic, most mages in the Temple of Light are mainly light magic. Only if the magic talent of one other type is extremely high, and the power of the light magic is increased by divine power, will the non-light magic be used. For example, Bright's specialization in magic is the fire system, and the host bishop of Bond is the archmage who specializes in green magic, so his strength naturally does not need to be repeated.

However, Bond still sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't know the spell of Praise of Life, otherwise I would have been able to heal him immediately, and no dark wounds would have been left." ”

Praise of Life is a level 8 magic of the Green Series, which requires the level of the Archmage to cast spells, and Bond himself is the Green ArchMagus, but he does not know the spell of Praise of Life. Because that magic is mastered by the Church of Life, those who know the spell are also direct bloodlines of the Lopez family, and it is easy not to pass it on.

"Oscar, how long will it take to recover?" said Mary's concern.

"It's going to take about two months of recuperation before I can move normally. ”

Mary sighed, then said sadly, "It's a pity that we couldn't bring Bright back when we were attacked, otherwise, maybe he would have been saved." ”

"The divine power on the contract he signed has dissipated, and it seems that he is really killed. It's a pity, I still remember when he said he wanted to be the Son. Bond shook his head and sighed, "You have to be careful yourself, Mary, if you become a bishop at a young age, there will definitely be many people watching you." ”

"I'll be careful. ”

Bond nodded, "I'll be hosting a memorial service for Bright at the cemetery in the evening, so come when you have time." ”

"May his soul merge into the brightest star. Mei Li nodded, two more tears on her face, "Shine on all beings." ”

"Shine on all beings. ”

After Bond left, two more older bishops came to talk to Mary, and as the new bishop, it was always necessary to make some friendly gestures with her.

Of course, the topic of conversation is inseparable from the latest movements of the Dark Temple, as well as the next retaliation actions of the Church of Light. At this time, Mary suddenly felt a slight heat in her arms, so she took out the holy book and opened it with a calm expression, recorded a little content on it with a magic pen, and put it in her arms, and then Mary continued to chat with the bishops.

No one noticed that when she saw what appeared in the holy scriptures, Mary's pupils suddenly contracted.

At this time, Selby was in a secret room with no doors and no windows, and there was only an ordinary table in the secret room, and there was a holy book of light on it. The page that had been turned to the holy book was now blank, and there was not a word at all. Selby paced back and forth at the table, as if anxiously waiting for something, muttering to himself as he walked.

The Holy Book of Light is something that only the Bishop or above or the divine favor of the Church of Light is qualified to have, this is not only a holy tome, but also an excellent alchemy equipment, which can store a light magic or divine magic below level 5. This effect is similar to that of a scroll, but it can't be used to specify the direction of spell casting because the spiritual power can't penetrate into the sacred scriptures, so it's only used to store defensive and healing spells. However, the Light Tome stores and releases magic that can be reused, unlike scrolls, which are one-time items.

When Selby pulled the tome out of the pocket of Bright's corpse, he had a sense of foreboding. As it turns out, foreboding often comes true. When he found the only blank page in the ceremony, he saw that the sentence on it disappeared in a flash.

"When you see that line, it means that we have a good cooperation. - Mary Jones"

It's a pity that when Selby saw this, Sylm's griffin knight brigade had already arrived in Scott City, so he could only beat his chest. Selby wanted to sacrifice this holy book of light, but for some reason he hesitated for a long time and then hid it. He didn't expect to use it again soon.

Outside the Dark Temple, when Phyllis asked him about the whereabouts of the soul in the sword, he was surprised at first, but the soul matter was related to the secret operation. When he ruled out the leaks of Elena and his family knights, and then connected to Oscar's broken sword and the lich from Scott, he finally thought of the most bizarre possibility.

Selby found that the more he thought about it, the more problems he had, which was much more complicated than the martial arts and fighting spirit he usually cultivated, maybe only a woman like Mary could handle this kind of thing.

Eventually, Selby decides to throw the problem at Mary, after all, the murder was planned by Mary, and there is no need to wipe her ass herself. Even if the matter is revealed, Selby will only lose his reputation for killing Bright alone. The ones who really have a headache should be Mary them.

With this in mind, Selby used the holy scriptures as a medium to communicate with Mary. Selby guessed that the blank space in the Tome of Light was probably blessed with an illusion that hid a telecommunication circle on the page. Although the principle is simple, it is really bold to dare to operate in this way in the holy scriptures.

But Mary even dared to murder Bret, a student of the Pope of Light, what else would she not dare? Thinking of this, Selby's forehead was already oozing sweat. He began to reflect on whether working with Mary was a good choice.

When Selby was in a hurry, the holy book suddenly emitted a faint aura of light, and he hurriedly rushed to the table, and saw a line of words slowly emerging on the blank page that was empty just now, "I'll leave Nike, you go to the priest." ”

Selby was taken aback, and his heart immediately jumped wildly, and he looked at it several times to make sure it was Mary's handwriting, and that there was nothing unusual about the way the message was communicated. The handwriting on it appeared for a moment, and then slowly disappeared as if nothing had ever appeared. Selby looked up again, looked around the chamber with a very cautious and guarded gaze, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

This is a house that Selby bought in the name of someone else in the suburb of St. Irvine, which includes several rooms, which are tall and far-reaching, and this secret room only occupies a corner of the complicated layout of the whole room, and the lack of this space is not visible from the outside. The chamber has no doors or windows, and is connected to one of the bedrooms by a tunnel, with the exit at the other end being under the bed in that bedroom.

"Dark Priest!" Selby then became excited again, "Damn!

No matter how complex these causes and effects may be, just kill that lich and everything will be solved. As long as you find a dark priest and prove that the lich's soul has the spiritual power of the light attribute, you can get rid of it logically. If not, it means that your worries are unnecessary. And on behalf of the Dark Church to hunt down that lich, Phyllis couldn't blame it when she found out.

Selby's face immediately turned gloomy again, and he sent a message himself, so in such a short time, Meili could think of the key and give a reply. If she is really a dangerous woman, if you have the chance, you must get rid of her!

Then he became distressed again, didn't he just think that Mary should be more anxious than him?

Selby shook his head and could only sigh alone.
