Chapter 24: Indulgences

Master Merlin's explanation made the atmosphere in the hall even more dull, and everyone stared at the two golden cards on the table and fell silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Roland was also looking at indulgences.

In addition to the results of the Pupil of Fate's identification, he also discovered that the indulgence is equivalent to a high-level divine scroll, containing a 5-ring "atonement", and the exile prays to the indulgence, which can activate the divine magic in the scroll and restore the deprived divine power. If the father does this, he can restore the professional ability of the holy warrior, and accordingly, the ability of the black guard will also be sealed.

Roland was not interested in the divine power contained in the indulgence itself, let alone the Holy Light Holy See, he was more interested in the luck attached to the indulgence.

That's right, the moment my father took out the indulgences, he sensed strong fluctuations in luck from these two cards.

Roland couldn't help but wonder: "Dad has a source of luck with him, but I haven't noticed it, how can this be?" It's mostly a matter of the dimensional bag, a magic container involving a half-plane that seems to be able to isolate my sense of luck. ”

With complicated thoughts, he pretended to be curious, grabbed the two indulgences in his hands, secretly absorbed the luck, and injected a warm current into his body from his fingertips, feeling very comfortable.

Lyudmila, noticing that he was clutching the indulgence and looking obsessed and intoxicated, couldn't help but get nervous, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Are you leaving the Far East?" ”

Roland was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in surprise and said, "Leaving the Far East?" Why do you ask? ”

Lyudmila sank her pretty face and said coldly: "With these two indulgences, you and your father can wash away the charges of heresy and return to the inland world of the empire to live a good life, why bother to stay in this poor and remote place to suffer with us!" ”

"Lyudmila, don't talk nonsense!" Evgenia glared at her daughter sternly, but she also couldn't hide the worry in her eyes, and obviously had the same concerns as her daughter.

Merlin and the others were silent, their expressions a little gloomy.

If Rudolph and his son choose to leave, the foundation that the Far East has built up with great difficulty will be completely collapsed, it is impossible for them to have no complaints, but if there is such an opportunity to change their fate in front of them, who can categorically refuse the temptation?

Even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about future generations. After all, if one person becomes a heretic, the generations will always be heretical. With such an indulgence, the original sin can be written off.

Roland silently absorbed the luck from the indulgence while observing the expressions of the crowd. He already knew what everyone was thinking, but Rudolph's face was indifferent and unfathomable, which made him a little puzzled.

"Father." Roland spoke at the right time to break the deadlock, "The archbishop gave you two indulgences, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Rudolph lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath comfortably, and smiled at his son through the ethereal mist, "What can he do, you can tell me." ”

Roland pursed the corners of his lips and said calmly: "There is a way that suffers from inequality, and he only gives you two indulgences, probably to create a situation of uneven distribution of spoils, causing internal strife within us; Another one, maybe he wants to use these two indulgences to imply that you should retreat bravely and give up your ambitions as soon as possible and move back to the mainland to live your old age. Of course, maybe I have both minds, but I can't think of them deeper. ”

Rudolph nodded, "Yes, Philip's old fox is not well-intentioned, and I can't guess what he is having, but it doesn't matter to me: as long as you are not tempted, no matter how sweet the bait is, it is useless." So saying, he took the indulgence from Roland's hand, approached the pipe in front of everyone, and lit it.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, two indulgences that could be exchanged for freedom and change the fate of themselves and their children and grandchildren were turned into ashes.

Rudolph put down his pipe, his eyes were dignified and sincere, and he said word by word, full of emotion: "All of you here are the most precious relatives and friends of my Rudolph Kolas in this life, if I lose any of you, my life will no longer be complete, even if I regain my so-called free body, what is the use?" I don't care about the stigma of heresy, the Far East is desolate and cold, but I love this land deeply, only here can I have the opportunity to realize my ambitions in life, once I leave the Far East, leave you dear relatives and friends, I will become a toothless tiger, an eagle without wings, what is the meaning of living! ”

"Guys, look me in the eye! I, Rudolph Koras, swear to the goddess of fate that I will never be bought, let alone betray my friends and relatives in the penal colony, and that if I break my oath, I will not die well! ”

Rudolph's oath echoed through the hall, and Merlin and the others were shocked, and the doubts in their eyes dissipated and were replaced by heartfelt emotion.

Alexei didn't say a word and left the table, walked straight to Rudolph and knelt on one knee, with an extremely solemn expression: "Lord Rudolph, you are our indispensable leader, I swear to the goddess of fate that I will always be loyal to you, to Young Master Roland, and to the Kolas family!" For the sake of our common, glorious cause, I can die for you at any time! ”

Pavel, Merlin, Boris, and Evgenia were also infected by this solemn atmosphere, and they all left the table and knelt on the ground, swearing eternal allegiance to the Kolas.

Roland watched all this silently, deeply touched in his heart. Whether Rudolph's words are acting or his love for the Far East, his relatives and friends in the Far East, and even the foundation he has worked so hard to build for more than a decade, the way he handles the indulgences tonight is enough to prove that he is a great hero, and what role will he play beside him?

While pondering, Roland had a vague premonition that the tide of the times was about to blow in his face, and he believed that he also had a chance to become a trendsetter, but if he wanted to stand at the head of the tide, he still had a lot to learn.

After the banquet, Roland said goodbye to Evgenia and Lyudmila, and followed his father back to the barracks overnight, arriving at the dormitory after midnight.

He washed up and went to bed, pulled the quilt, and silently opened the system panel to check the gas reserves.

With two indulgences and the Giant Strength Belt, he has absorbed a lot of luck today, and the column of the luck pool is displayed as "8 degrees". "Degree" is a unit of luck, and Roland doesn't know what it means.

According to the rules given by the system, 1 degree of luck can be exchanged for 1 level skill, 4 degrees of luck can be exchanged for 1 specialty, and 16 degrees of luck can be exchanged for 1 free attribute.

The rules for redeeming tiers are complex and need to be calculated in two stages.

Before the character reaches level 8, 8 degrees of luck can be exchanged for level 1. Above level 8, the amount of luck spent on leveling up is the level value.

For example, Roland's promotion from level 1 to level 2 will cost 8 degrees of luck, and in the future, it will cost 9 degrees of luck to upgrade from level 8 to level 9, and so on.

Now he only has 8 degrees of luck and must be careful with his calculations.

The skill level is not in a hurry to improve for the time being, the price of free attributes is too high to change, the expertise and career level are very good, after repeated trade-offs, Roland finally chose to learn two specialties: fierce attack and homeopathic slash.

After the decision, the numbers in the luck pool quickly reset to zero. At the same time, Roland felt a string of bizarre images and characters flood into his mind, and his muscles trembled slightly, as if he was receiving an electric shock.

After a long time, the abnormal feeling gradually subsided, he tried to think about "fierce attack" and "homeopathic slash", and was pleasantly surprised to find that his mind suddenly became extraordinarily clear, and he instantly comprehended many details that he had not been involved in on weekdays, and his arm also made a conditioned reflex, eager to try, eager to draw his sword and practice immediately.

"It turns out that this is how luck accelerates learning, which is interesting."

Roland curled the corners of his lips into a satisfied smile. Pressing the urge to get up and practice, he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, and soon fell asleep.
