1086 If you are given light in three days

As if thinking about Rommel's words, after about a few seconds, Richard looked at Rommel and asked, "This matter is not as easy to solve as you said, is it?

Rommel smiled: "This matter, it can be difficult to operate, or it can be very simple. The reason why it is difficult is that it will not be so easy to solve. It's simple...... Let me tell you one such thing. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Richard.

"Do you remember a few months ago, in order to ask me for the last part of the Void Treasure Book, you agreed with me in the forest to fight in half a month?"

"Yes. Richard nodded.

"Then you must remember that before parting with you, I killed an enemy with the strength of a fourth-level wizard. Before the killing, the other party kept shouting 'Jurgen'. ”

Richard blinked, recalled, and the image of that day flashed quickly in his mind:

At that time, he and Rommel were talking about the details of the battle after half a month, when a voice suddenly sounded in the depths of the forest, interrupting the conversation.

Then, with a foul gust of wind, a humanoid creature more than two meters tall, half-human, half-beast rushed out. The face of the other side is human-like and clothed, but his arms and shoulders have dense gray hair, similar to that of a bear, his feet are bare, and his nails are as sharp as those of a tiger.

The other party kept shouting "Jurgen" and angrily attacked Rommel.

After that, Rommel slapped the opponent's head with a neat palm, directly killing the opponent in seconds.

From there, he deeply realized how strong Rommel was, and even if he used all his means to fight half a month later, he only hurt Rommel and did not feel too much surprise.

After the fight, Rommel once said that "unless the body is destroyed in an instant, even a heart and a drop of blood can be resurrected", and he has no doubts about this.

At the end of the memory, Richard looked at Rommel and said, "Well, I remember the other party shouting 'Jurgen'." ”

"Do you know why the other party called 'Jurgen'?" Rommel asked again.

"Thisβ€”" Richard hesitated, and although he had countless knowledge hidden in his head, the question was not answered. After all, that strange creature, he had never seen it before, how did he know why the other party was shouting 'Jurgen'.

"It's a fixed vocalization, to express emotion, like the barking of a dog or a cat?" Richard looked at Rommel, and finally gave a guessed answer.

"Nope. Rommel shook his head lightly and solved the mystery, "Actually, 'Jurgen' is my name. ”

Richard's eyes widened.

"A little surprised, isn't it?" Rommel smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"So, does the other party know you? The other party is an intelligent creature, or a ...... People?" said Richard.

"To be precise, the other party is my teacher. Rommel said.

Richard's mouth couldn't help but grow.

"My full name is Rommel Jurgen. Rommel said slowly, "I was not a member of the Truth Society from the beginning, nor was I a member of the Truth Society from the beginning. Initially, I was an apprentice to another wizarding organization, the School of Natural Balance.

The school of natural balance has a very ancient heritage, advocating nature and wildness, and likes to tap into the deepest power of biological life and transform itself. When you first saw my teacher's appearance, it was a branch of transformation. If there were no accidents, I would have been like this, becoming a combination of many beasts, even stranger and stronger than my teacher.

However, many years before this became the case, a camp of the School of Natural Balance was attacked by the Truth Society, and since then I have come into contact with the Truth Society. In the beginning, I hated the Truth Society and hunted down the Truth Society members as I grew. The biggest result was that I once paid the price of being seriously injured and dying, and got this. ”

As he spoke, Rommel touched the wearable object on his finger.

"Rings?" Richard raised his eyebrows.

Rommel chuckled, "Yes, don't be surprised, I grabbed this gold ring." As for the fate of his original master, you should have thought of it as well - dead. In fact, it is not accurate to say that he is dead, after all, his memory backup is still stored in the resurrection room of the headquarters. But considering the huge amount of resources required for resurrection, and the fact that it cannot grow anymore, it is almost the same as dying. ”

Richard looked at Rommel, really surprised, really didn't expect Rommel to have such a past, and subconsciously asked: "What about later?"

"Later. "Then it's a long story." To cut a long story short, after killing one of the Golden Ring Directors of the Society of Truth, some time later, I met the Chief, Lord Foehn.

It was an irresistible force for me at the time, so I was defeated without surprise. However, Foehn-sama did not kill me, but took me to the headquarters of the Society of Truth, and while healing me, I was introduced to the larger world. Since then, I've been the new gold ring, until now. ”

Rommel was silent for a few seconds, as if giving Richard time to consume information, and then waved his hand and said, "Look, I have killed the director of the Golden Ring, and there is no problem, but what problem can you have? Could it be that you have killed the director of the Color Ring? So, as long as you sincerely join the Truth Society, there may be some twists and turns, but in the end it will be safe."

I trust my vision, just as Foehn-sama believed in his vision before. I killed one of the weakest Golden Rings of the Truth Society, but gave the Truth Society the strongest Golden Ring. And you...... Whatever you have done before, I believe that your contribution to the Truth Society in the future will far outweigh the loss to the Truth. ”

"But how can I prove that I am genuinely joining the Truth Society?" Richard thought for a moment and asked a crucial question, "I can't just say it and get approval, right? ”

"Of course not. Rommel shook his head, "There is only one way to prove that you are truly joining the Society of Truth, and that is for your soul to experience the true light." ”

"Huh?"

Rommel explained: "Specifically, it is to let go of the defenses and let your soul be baptized by the light of the true God." You can think of it as a spell, and in the process, you will connect with the true God, gain more knowledge of the truth, receive special gifts, and make your soul immortal.

After the experience, there will be some slight changes in your personality, but don't worry, you are still you, you just have a deeper understanding of the world. In this way, you can be regarded as a true core member of the Truth Society, and you will have the qualifications to become the top of the Truth Society. At the same time, you will have an unchangeable loyalty to the true God, so that Chekaf's questioning of you can be completely ignored. ”

Richard listened, and after a long while, asked seriously, "Am I really still me?" If, after the experience, I have an unchangeable loyalty to the true God, is this not a shackle?"

"It's up to you to see it. Rommel said softly, "In my eyes, it's more like you know a truth, a truth that is completely impossible to violate." You know, then you won't deny it anymore, and you'll always think that one plus one equals two is right. The same is true of the true God, when you come into contact with His light, you will be sure that He is a truth that is more impossible to violate than one plus one equals two, and you will naturally believe and be faithful to Him.

Richard was silent, a long silence. I wanted to say something, but I pursed my lips and didn't say it in the end.

Rommel saw it, but did not force it, and sighed lightly: "Your reaction is not what I expected, and you are really hesitant." After all, you've always been clinging to your preconceived notions. Therefore, in order to insist on your research, you did not hesitate to fight me, and it is precisely because of this that I am optimistic about you.

But...... After all, the matter of the true God is still a little different from the study. I admire you, but I can't make a change for you. I can give you some time to think about it, and I hope you will give me an answer in the early morning of three days, that is, before I reply to Chekaf. If you choose the light, then you are my successor. But you ......"

Rommel didn't go on, paused and said, "Well, no but." I don't want to have buts, and I don't want you to choose buts. So, in three days, I want you to give me the only answer, that's all. ”

As the words fell, Rommel took a step towards the town of Pompeii.

After walking a few dozen meters, a voice came: "Wizard Richard, you have to be clear: I have always been optimistic about you, and I hope you will not live up to my expectations of you." I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to break through yourself and take this most important step, you will definitely not regret it. ”

In the darkness of the night, Rommel walked farther and farther......
