Chapter Seventy-Seven: Prayer Magic
Wren's self-control was pretty good and he quickly calmed himself down.
"Good. He sat down on the edge of the bed and said relaxedly, "You can sit down and say, don't worry, I won't eat you." ”
Viola sat down in the chair across from her, a few steps apart, her eyes uncertain and a little unspeakable.
Wren didn't rush her, and waited patiently.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that she finally made up her mind and spoke, "Wren, I told you before that I was a believer in Lady Long Hair. ”
"Well, I remember. Wren nodded.
Pan-believers are the norm in Ehrenus, where many people worship multiple gods at the same time, as long as there is no hostility between the gods and the church.
Freya, the long-haired lady, is the god of art and love, as well as the priesthood of goodness and beauty, and is very popular in the mortal world, and maintains good relations with many gods, so most of his followers are pan-believers, and the church organization is also very loose, and its influence is far less than that of the three righteous gods of the empire.
Speaking of faith, Viola's expression became serious: "A few years ago, I was already a deacon of the Lonshande Art Association, and officially became a priest of the Church of Good Nature. ”
Wren listened silently to what she had to say.
Freya, the long-haired lady, is also known as the god of goodness, so his organization of believers is called the Church of Goodness, and it preaches in the form of art associations around the world, builds temples, and develops believers.
The priests of the Good Church are already among the high-ranking believers of the church.
However, the long-haired lady does not have the powerful divine power of the three gods of the empire, and cannot create an exclusive transcendent profession for believers, so she can only give magic to high-level believers.
The priest is the administrator of the church, with some power and the qualifications to receive the divine arts.
However, Viola's qualifications are too shallow, and her contributions are not enough, and although she has become a priest of the church, she will have to wait a few more years before she can hold a formal prayer service, receive the blessing of the long-haired lady, and receive the corresponding divine magic.
Divine magic is a completely different spell casting system from spells, and the two do not conflict and can coexist.
All of the divine techniques given by Erenus are the application of life force, including a large number of healing techniques, auxiliary divine techniques, as well as protection and expulsion against evil gods, which play a role in protecting believers.
The magic given by the gods requires the consumption of their own divine power.
And divine power is the origin of the gods, the strength of a god depends on the level of his divine power, and giving believers divine magic means that the god's own power is weakened.
Therefore, unless it is a very powerful god, it is generally not easy to give divine magic.
The weaker the deity, the more stingy it is towards believers.
The long-haired lady's divine power is in the middle among the gods, and she is relatively generous to believers, as long as she has enough contributions, or has believed in him for a long enough time, she can basically get divine magic if she is promoted to priesthood and seniority.
Viola sighed and said, "I have been a believer in the long-haired lady since I was ten years old, and I have been in the Church of Good Faith for almost twenty years, and I have been a priest for three years. ”
"I donate a gold shield to the church every year, but the church attaches more importance to the spread of art, although the gold shield is good, it cannot directly bring more believers to the long-haired lady, according to the doctrine, my contribution is not much. ”
"Of course, I donated so many gold shields, and I only have to wait another two years to get the divine art, which is already very fast. ”
"It's just that I don't want to wait and wish I could have a prayer service sooner. ”
Wren's face was a little strange, Viola inadvertently revealed her age, and smiled: "So you are Chinese New Year's Eve years old today......"
He is only nineteen years old, and he is still a few months away from twenty years old, is this considered to be eaten tender grass?
Viola gave him a blank look and said angrily, "I'm talking about business." ”
Then she hurriedly explained: "I am a half-elf, although I can't easily live for five hundred years like a pure elf, but I have at least two hundred years of life. I'm just over thirty years old now, which is about ten years old for a human being, so you can't dislike me for being older!"
"Ten years old!" Wren immediately thought crookedly, isn't this a legitimate Lori?
"I'm not disgusted. He quickly stopped thinking nonsense, and said, "Anyway, you will be able to get the magic in two years, why worry?"
"For the sake of stronger power, of course. ”
Viola made no secret of her thirst for power, saying, "I am a panace, and if I can perform divine magic, I can bless my summons." Moreover, the magic is not only healing and blessing, there are also many offensive magic skills, increasing my spell casting ability, and combining with spells, it can increase my strength by at least half!"
"In addition to increasing power, obtaining divine magic also means entering the vision of the gods, receiving the attention of the gods, and having more rights in the mortal world. ”
"Anyone who dares to go against me has the potential to anger the church and God. ”
Speaking of this, Viola looked at Wren, as if to reveal some important information, and said softly: "Receiving God's blessing through the prayer ceremony, within three days after the ceremony, the soul transformation ritual is carried out, not only the success rate is higher, but the effect of the soul transformation is also better." ”
"I'm a sixth-level wizard, my soul power has reached a bottleneck, and I was able to perform the third soul transformation ritual last year, and I haven't done it all since then, just to wait for God's blessing. ”
Wren was surprised, this should be a big secret.
The difficulty and effect of the Soul Transformation Ritual has always been the most troublesome problem for human transcendents, and there is no solution.
If what Viola says is true, it can explain a lot of things.
The transcendent professions of the Church, such as the Holy Swordsman of the Righteous Church, the Earth Nun of the Earth Church, the Trickster of the Loch Church, and the Sun Knight of the Sun Church, were all created by the gods for human believers, and they are much stronger than most professions.
Now it seems that the strength of the church profession is not only the uniqueness of the fused demon soul, but also because of the blessing of the gods, it has obtained a better soul transformation effect.
Wren roughly understood Viola's thoughts.
She wants to use the power of the church and the gods to improve her strength and influence in the family, so as to get more attention from the duke, and may even overwhelm other competitors and directly win the canonization of the county of Winter Thunder.
This is a multiplicity.
The question, however, is how can Viola hold the prayer service in advance?
And what does this have to do with yourself?
Viola saw Wren's confusion and took the initiative to say: "The official prayer ceremony of the long-haired lady must be held in his temple, and there is a temple of the long-haired lady behind the Grand Singing Theater, where the Longshande Art Association is located. ”
"The use of the temple for prayer ceremonies is a major matter for the Church, with the consent of at least half of the priests, as well as the approval of the president of the Longshande Art Association. ”
"I was sure that I had the permission of the president and the priests, but the contribution was still a little short, and I was afraid that the ceremony would be carried out, but the long-haired lady did not respond, nor did she give the magic spell. ”
"There are many precedents for this, and not every prayer service has a response, and this time it fails, and the next time it will have to wait at least another three years. ”
Viola's eyes showed a hint of concern.
Her gaze fell on Wren's face and she whispered, "There are several different ways to pray for the Lady with Long Hair, and one of them is the one that pleases Him the most and has a high chance of being blessed. ”
Wren noticed that her face was getting redder and redder, and he was a little stunned.
He subconsciously asked, "Which one?"
"Hmmm......"
Viola's eartips trembled slightly, bit her lip, and finally said, "Let your lover also participate in the prayer and show Him a pure romantic love." ”
"How is love going to be performed?"
Wren was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and couldn't help asking, "It won't be the kind of performance method I thought, right?"
"Yes...... Viola lowered her head a little embarrassed, not daring to look at Wren directly, and said in a low voice: "This love should be as deep as possible, if both parties are first-time, the long-haired lady will be more happy." ”
Wren was dumbfounded, can he still play like this?
Viola blushes and tells him that Freya, the long-haired lady, has the priesthood of "love" and is happy to see the believers reap love, and performs it as an art as if it were music or dance.
If you can perform love during the prayer ceremony, the long-haired lady loves to watch.
This is also a common way of prayer used by many priests of the Good Faith Church, and Viola never used it until she met Wren, so she had no lovers.
Wren's scalp tingled when he heard this.
He secretly complained wildly, isn't this a voyeur?
Viola opened her heart, sat down next to Wren, held his hand and said, "I have been thinking about the prayer ceremony since half a year ago, and I want to start a serious relationship, but there has been no suitable candidate, until that day, you go to the Violet House ......"
"You see I'm handsome, so you're tempted?" Wren smiled.
It dawned on him that it was no wonder that Viola had only known him for two days, and she had taken the initiative to take the initiative, it turned out that she was in "estrus" at that time and was looking for a man to participate in the prayer ceremony with her.
Viola patted Wren with some embarrassment, "The long-haired lady also has a 'beautiful' priesthood, so she prefers believers with excellent appearance, and you are qualified for this condition." ”
"Of course. ”
Wren was quite proud, and wanted to brag to himself, but suddenly another thing came to mind, and asked, "Why did you back down later?" Don't lie to me, I can see that you seem to have changed your mind at that time. ”
"Because you're too proactive. Viola had a little helplessness in her eyes, "I just showed a little affection for you, and you immediately posted it, and you learned the piano with me so enthusiastically, and there were a lot of small movements, like a veteran in the love field, so it scared me." ”
Wren couldn't help but be speechless, was he so eager?
Well, it does seem like a bit overdone.
It's not all because the half-elf is so beautiful, he really can't help it, he's afraid of missing the opportunity.
"I'm afraid that you don't really like me, it's just that the body I was trying to plot was discovered and deceived by the long-haired lady during the prayer ceremony, not only did I fail to obtain the divine magic, but I was even punished by the gods. Viola's expression became softer and softer, and she said emotionally: "Of course, I know now that you are a man who is willing to give his life for me, and there is no more true and profound love than this." ”
Wren looked back at her with a warm smile on his face.
He was actually a little weak-hearted, and asked himself if he really liked her.
Of course, he did covet her beauty, well, there were other things, but it was by no means hypocritical, it just didn't reach the point of deep love, and the motives were not pure at first.
Viola didn't know what Wren was thinking, looked directly at Wren, and said calmly: "I told you everything, no matter what you want to do now, I will not refuse." "I want to talk about "Warhammer Wizard" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
