Chapter 10: Baptism

When the red morning sun leaped from the horizon as if it were lifted, the slaughter had come to an end, and all the darkness and sin had faded from that layer of turbidity, and together they turned into the mist by the moat, which drifted with the wind.

Luo Lan stood on the top of the stone corridor of the temple, watching this scenery that he had not noticed for a long time, he leaned against the holy priest's white tower, and the houses that stretched out in front of him were all bathed in gold, and the bell tower that had lasted for years not far away stood tall in the morning mist.

He turned his head slowly, and a triangular white-gold cross flag danced in the wind blowing from the plains across the Senfen River.

Each diocese has its own cross, which symbolizes the honor and splendor of its diocese.

Six days have passed since the night when the Thunderfire Mercenary Regiment was raided.

There are only two people who have survived, Van and Carol, and the fat David has lost too much blood to be saved, or rather, Luo Lan doesn't want to save this thoughtful guy in his heart, maybe the first thing he did when he woke up was to investigate Luo Lan's identity and Norman's death.

So the best thing to do is to tell him to keep his mouth shut forever, and luckily, he doesn't have to do it himself, he just stands by and watches.

He smiled as if his plot had succeeded, there was no better ending for a taciturn thief and a young mage who had no idea what was going on.

In addition to the reward of the mercenary group itself, the reward Luo Lan received from the mercenary union turned out to be the other half of the parchment scroll of the trial mission, which was stamped with a fiery red seal representing the Holy Cross triangle of the diocese of Mosa.

At that time, he was not in a hurry to go to the priest's tower to reply to the mission, but waited quietly, because the task scroll did not specify a specific time limit, as long as he returned before the moon tour of the Church of Light next month, I believe that no one would say anything about him.

It was only two days later that Irina returned to her place of residence and informed him that most of the people had completed their tasks, and that some notable representatives of the diocesan forces had all failed in this trial, due to conflicts, strife, or rather involvement.

To Luo Lan's surprise, it was not only Irina who ruined those people's tasks this time, but someone else was secretly interfering in this matter.

Who could it be?

He had a vague idea in his mind, but he couldn't put it into words.

"Pastor Landiston. A respectful greeting rang in my ears.

I don't know if it's because of the sensitivity or if it's true, Luo Lan can hear that there is still a little flattery and sycophancy in that voice.

Turning around, he was greeted by a face with a big smile.

"Please. The messenger humbled down and bowed his hand to open the way, knowing that the future was bright for the young pastor who was about to change his identity, and that it would be good to leave a deep impression at this moment.

Luo Lan then remembered that as today's protagonist, he should appear on the stage.

At this moment, his status has changed dramatically.

He glanced at the religious servant next to him, stretched out his hand to hold him, and smiled very kindly, "What is the name of this religious member?"

The servant suddenly showed a flattered expression, and a hint of excitement appeared on his cheeks, and he said, "William, William Nemunk." โ€

"William Nemunck. Luo Lan repeated it in his mouth, as if to remember the name, and then took out a purple gold coin from the Moria Dynasty period from his arms, handed it to the other party, and said, "If there is anything in the future, you can come to me with it." โ€

"Yes, Pastor. William bowed his head deeply and quietly tucked the gold coin into his sleeve.

Luo Lan didn't speak anymore, he turned around and looked up, where was the priest's white tower.

Is it just a tower?

Perhaps, it may be a turning point in fate.

It's just that this turning point was created by him.

He reached out and grabbed it hard, as if to hold something.

Just one day earlier, he had established his title as a missionary in the presence of the three bishops as the only completer of the trial.

After the tedious rituals, today is the day to be baptized with the Stone of Life.

"Bellโ€”"

The bronze bell of the bell tower begins to strike the bell of the ceremony.

The solemn and solemn atmosphere spread all around, throughout the priest's tower, then the temple, then the parish, and finally far away to the whole city, and the golden morning glow that floated resounded in the sky.

The fluttering red leaves instantly dyed the sky red, falling from the heights one after another.

Two blonde maids walked up one on the left and one on the right, guarding Luo Lan in the middle, each holding a scepter and a ceremonial crown symbolizing the status of the teacher.

Luo Lan's silk blue-bottomed robe was embroidered with ceremonial edge flowers decorated with light gold patterns, the deep sleeves of the wide robe had a wordless majesty and solemnity, the high-arched vertical collar line symbolized his lofty status in the Sect of Light, the reflection of the scorching glow spar cross emblem was worn on the left chest, and two crimson bands representing the birth of the family fell from the shoulders to the waist and abdomen.

He took a deep breath and walked into the temple on the ground floor of the priest's tower.

"Bellโ€”"

The bell struck again.

Is the road ahead that leads to the heart that day?

Or, an extension of another unknown path?

Clear footsteps pounded on the marble-paved temple.

Luo Lan slowly stood still, he raised his head and looked up.

A ray of light came through the dome window at the top of the temple, and at this time, they converged directly on the statue of the god of light in the center.

In the temple, the hymn fluttered as if it were nothing, whispered in the ear, and echoed in the heart.

A majestic voice said, "Stone of Silence, Perseverance." โ€

A gentle voice said, "Stone of Silence, merciful heart. โ€

A calm voice said, "The Stone of Silence, fearless and heartless. โ€

Then the three voices said in unison: "Cleanse all sins and purify the souls of the world." โ€

"Bellโ€”"

The bell rang again at the end of the conversation, as if reminding Luo Lan to remember all this.

Is it to cleanse all sins, to purify the soul, to pay all the debts owed to the world?

Luo Lan's heart was full of ridicule and sarcasm, but his face was solemn and solemn, at this moment, what was circling in his mind was Irina's stealing plan, did he step on the point, or go to be baptized?

The majestic stone door behind the idol finally opened in front of my eyes.

With a dull thud, the road to eternity had opened its first doors to him.

PS: The transition chapter is really more tiring than the plot of the fight, hehe, I've been thinking that if someone can even write the transition chapter as a climax, then it's the real god.

Well, let's continue tomorrow.
