Chapter 191: Alliance
After removing the crystal spikes that were only decorative, Roland immediately noticed that the silver chains that bound the crystal crosses had many small black lines twisted and printed on them like snakes.
Most people might think it's just decoration.
But Roland understood that it was a variant of the astral language.
If it is translated, it is......
"Man comes from dust, and returns to dust," Roland said softly, holding the scepter in his left hand, and gently brushing the chains with his right hand, turning the marks on them to the front, "The time comes when all things will returnβ"
At this point, Roland had gone through the entire chain. The words engraved on it naturally returned to the end.
Roland wasn't even sure that he had read the beginning of the sentence in the first place.
If it is "when all things come to an end, people come from the dust and return to the dust" can also be read smoothly.
Because of the special grammar of the astral language, this sentence can be read from any word and end up in a sentence.
But Roland inexplicably knew that he had read it correctly at the beginning.
"Thou shalt not trespass, thou shalt not delusion, thou shalt not covet," said Roland in a soft voice with an inexplicable impulse in his heart, "all things are so, all things are so. β
ββ¦β¦ This is? β
For the first time, Anvilia looked surprised.
There is no doubt that as the eldest princess of the High Elves, she can also understand the astral language.
It had been nearly a thousand years since she had obtained the scepter, and she remembered every word on it clearly.
No matter which word she started with, she also remembered the two sentences that were finally completed.
There are thirty-two proverbs. These are the words of wisdom left by the Sleeping Guru.
Even if you are not a believer, you can benefit from it.
Therefore, she knew very well that the two sentences added by Roland after that should not be the content above.
This is the twelfth verse of the second chapter of the Teachings.
Inexplicable knowledge appeared in Roland's heart. He met Anvilia's gaze and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Does the legacy of the Elder Sleep Mentor still exist?"
As a result, Anvilia's expression became even more surprised than before.
But Roland could only tear the topic away casually, not daring to delve into it.
- Because Roland had never heard of the Teachings before.
Don't say it's before. Even five minutes ago, Roland had never heard of such a thing.
As far as the name goes, this thing seems to have a high profile with the Eternal Sleeping Mentor - after all, it is a "mentor" and a "teaching".
However, Roland was even more convinced that he had never heard of such a thing before. Otherwise, with Roland's memory. He will not easily forget.
But just when this thought just came to Roland's mind, Roland seemed to see a thick book quickly turned in front of his eyes. Roland didn't hold any resistance, and instantly memorized it completely.
β¦β¦ It's not right to think about anything.
It's not like it's the knowledge that the Elder Sleep Master has passed on directly to himself...... If you think about it carefully, it seems that this phenomenon occurs because you have touched this scepter?
But unexpectedly, since he woke up, the Elder Sleep Master has not said a word. If it weren't for the happy low laughter that came from behind him at the moment when Roland blurted out, Roland would have thought that the mentor had accidentally dropped the line.
Is it because I didn't get up and pray for the morning, so I'm angry?
Don't make a fuss, Mentor. Other pastors have the protection of the gods and cannot have nightmares, so naturally they are in good spirits every morning, and it is okay to get up and pray for the morning...... But for Roland, who had not developed this habit before, morning prayer and night prayer made Roland sometimes forget to pray twice a day.
β¦β¦ When I started my church, I asked those lovely group of believers to pray five times a day! Morning, Morning, Noon, Evening and Final Prayer - or whatever!
But then again, why did the guru suddenly stop talking?
Roland couldn't help but wonder.
But since the mentor doesn't object, then Roland can do it with confidence.
"Are you going to take it away now? Electorate? Anvilia looked at Roland with a smile.
"There's no hurry." Roland smiled rather officially, "If you don't mind. It's good to keep this scepter with you for the time being. β
"Oh?"
"Because you've protected it for hundreds of years, we have reason to believe you'll protect it even better. I'm relieved if it's with you. β
"Oh?"
"- Of course, Your Highness Anvilia."
Roland's face was full of relaxed and happy smiles, giving people a sunny feeling: "During this time, you can use the power of this artifact as much as you like. β
"Aren't you the elect of the Sleeping Mentor...... Can you be the master of this? Can the Pope of your house propose? β
And it's no wonder that Anvilia asked the question.
Generally speaking, all diplomatic affairs of the Holy See are handed over to the Inspector or the Pope from the outside world. Basically, the gods are going to use the elect. Except for the crisis accident in the extermination community, everyone else actually belongs to the work of having to get blood on their fingers.
"Of course...... Although I am not yet the Pope. β
Roland said unfazedly.
β¦β¦ Slow, now?
Anvilia raised her eyebrows and smiled knowingly.
ββ¦β¦ That's right. β
She immediately stretched out her hand generously to Roland: "Please inform me when the next pope election begins." I have lived for so many years. It's more or less an old woman, and it's no problem to help you pull the ballots. β
In fact, Anvilia's words are no different from cursing the current Pope for his immediate death from a cerebral hemorrhage.
- Although there is no Pope in the Eternal Sleep Teacher.
However, Roland did not dare to answer Anvilia's second sentence at all.
One of the few things he knew about Anville was that she didn't like what people said about her age. It doesn't matter if you say more or less, even if she is honest, she will be unhappy.
The smartest thing to do is to just don't say it. Roland didn't hear it.
At the same time, Roland looked at Anvilia's outstretched hand and knew that she understood what she meant, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Looks like she got it.
So Roland put his hand on hers as well, clasping his hands together.
"All glory to the Guru - I wish to be allies with the saints of the Eternal Guru."
ββ¦β¦ Do we share life and death, and we share hardships...... I agreed. β
As the words of the two fell, silver light suddenly shone out from the hands of Roland and Anvilia, turning into silver runes that directly covered half of Roland and Anvilia's arms.
Thus, the contract was concluded.
- Of course, that's not the God of Contracts.
The God of Contracts would never dare to make a move on Anvilia at will.
The guy's surprisingly cowardly appearance contrasted sharply with his height of nearly two meters.
"Well, then, we'll be allies."
Anvilia said affirmatively.
Roland also nodded happily.
"So, please ask my dear ally, His Highness Anvilia, to help me prepare my identity in the White Tower. I'm a bit troubled with my status right now. To be honest, I don't really want to do anything to the guys in the Waste Bureau, after all, they are disobedient, but they are your people. β
Roland said with a smile.
"Absolutely."
Anvilia also smiled and said: "Little Anruos's fiancΓ©e, guardian, and transfer student who fell in love at first sight - which of the three identities do you want?" To be honest, I'm not optimistic about the two of you, after all, although Xiao An Ruosi is strong, he is a wood after all. β
"You say yes, right? Our little princess Suze? (To be continued.) )
PSοΌβ¦β¦ The soul is faint and the mother collapsed again, and I finished writing it at half past eleven and then couldn't send it to QAQ
My full attendance is QAQ
