Seeing that Suge had found himself, Lance seemed to feel something, and asked, "Do you want me to help you improve your spiritual energy?"

Suge nodded: "Yes." ”

In the previous contact, Su Ge sensed Lance's terrifying psionic energy, an expert-level mystic like him, the spiritual energy was even four or five times that of those master-level psionic powers, which was a very terrifying and abnormal thing.

So Suge felt that Lance should have some way to directly improve his psionic powers.

Lance said bluntly: "This kind of secret method, even in our Elven Order, is not available to a few people, and it can be said to be the core of our Elven Order. ”

Su Ge nodded: "I can guess, but I must use this method now to reverse the situation here, otherwise after the birth of the son of the great god, let alone this city, that kind of existence will even cause the destruction of the entire country." ”

Lance was lost in thought and did not speak.

Su Ge continued, "And you just said, you said that there are not many people in your Elven Order who can get it, and you said "can get", not "eligible to get". This means that the threshold for this method is very high, and it may even have huge risks, although it is the secret method of your Elven Order, but there are not many people within the Order who have the ability to achieve it, am I right!?"

Hearing this, Lance was shocked, raised his head and looked at Su Ge and nodded silently: "Yes." ”

"This means that this method is actually not a big secret in the Order, and most regular Order personnel know it, but no one can pass the trial, or don't have the courage to try, strictly speaking, it's not something that requires too much secrecy, right?"

Lance clenched his fists and continued to nod.

Su Ge took a deep breath and said in a straight tone: "Lance, I know that you are a real knight, I am not a knight, strictly speaking, I am not even a good person. But I want you to help me here, I don't want the people of this capital to become victims of that evil ritual, I want to crush those damned cultists!"

Langston was shocked when he heard this, his purple eyes looked at Su Ge with bright eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I have one condition, though. ”

"Fair deal, you say. Su Ge said happily.

Lance said solemnly: "I know that you are a bottom-line, principled person, and I believe that you can achieve a great career." If one day in the future, our Elven Order encounters a crisis and needs your help. I hope that then you can do everything you can to help us through this. You can rest assured that if it comes to the aspect of life, you can refuse. ”

Suge pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and replied with a straight face: "Yes, I, Suge Sototh, swear by the name of my lord, the Lord of Death and Storms. ”

After listening, Lance nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said, "Please come with me." ”

Then the two walked side by side into a very quiet living room on the second floor.

Lance pulled out the purple sword behind his back, carefully placed it on the table, and then knelt down, clasped his hands together and whispered something in a whisper.

Five minutes later, he made two gestures with both hands and pushed forward.

Accompanied by a soft burst of blue light, a blue light appeared on Lance's forehead, which projected a strange symbol in the air like a projector.

The symbol is surrounded by a circle and inside are four wavy signs.

"Is this the rune 'lake'?" Suge asked tentatively.

Lance pondered for a moment and explained: "Strictly speaking, it is indeed a type of rune, but it is the supreme product derived from the rune - the Stigmata Rune, referred to as the Stigmata. ”

"Stigma?" Su Ge heard this word for the first time, and his face was puzzled.

Lance explained: "Runes are transcriptions of the voices of ancient gods, and at the lowest level, the thirty-three Keynesian runes represent the most basic elements in the world. On the top are the more advanced Caldin runes, a total of eleven, which are mountains, seas, lakes, rivers, rain, snow, earth, sky, forests, plains, and valleys. ”

Su Ge nodded slightly, he had a certain understanding of this knowledge before.

At the beginning of Bain City, the key to cracking Ron's circle was the "river" rune engraved on the wellhead.

"The Keynesian runes symbolize the most basic elements, while the Caldinian runes symbolize the structure of the world. The Stigmata Rune is based on the Karding Rune, which concretizes and regularizes a rune, thus forming a powerful rune with substantial power. ”

"Stigmata runes are the hallmark of every church, and now all larger churches have their own Stigmata runes. For example, your Church of the Holy Blood holds the Stigmata Rune as "Sky". ”

Hearing this, Su Ge muttered in his heart: "What I'm the vicar has done is really a failure, and these outsiders, one by one, know our church better than myself. ”

Lance continued, "The Stigmata Rune held by our Elven Order is this: the stigmata of the Lake. ”

"Stigmata of the Lake?" Suge's heart was filled with curiosity.

Lance put away the stigma and admonished seriously: "You must know that the stigmata rune has the highest level of binding power, it is like a shackle imprinted on the soul, and it restricts you all the time. ”

Su Ge's heart suddenly jumped: "Then what is the effect on your stigma?"

Lance smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. Stigmata is, after all, just a rune, not a notepad. Stigmata inscriptions are very limited in binding force, and can generally only be made by one oath. Normally, this oath is not allowed to harm the people of the Order, and we are the same. ”

"Then why didn't you make an oath that you would not betray the church?" Suge asked curiously.

Lance shook his head: "The so-called betrayal is too subjective and too general. You know that some paranoid people have a different worldview from ordinary people, and if one day he suddenly thinks that everyone in the Order is an enemy, then he kills all the people in the Order, and it will not trigger the effect of stigmata. ”

Suge nodded in agreement. This immediately reminded him of the villains in some anime, who have their own set of values that sound awesome and upright, and are always for the sake of all mankind, but they are unscrupulous in action.

After a brief explanation, the content goes to the core.

"Water is the most inclusive and gentle, the source of all life. Our spiritual energy is like water, constantly nourishing our souls, allowing our will to grow and preserve. However, the effect of water will vary depending on the situation. The water in the sea is frightening and deadly, and the water in the river is turbulent. And only the water in the lake is the softest and calmest. ”

"The effect of our lake stigmata is like that sparkling, calm lake, nourishing the soul and spiritual energy. Inscribed the Mark of the Lake on your spirit will increase your spiritual energy by a factor of five on a normal basis, and speed up your spiritual energy recovery by 30%, while making my spirit more stable, strong, and inclusive. ”

After hearing this, Su Ge's expression was full of shock, and then he asked, "Then what are the conditions for using this stigma?"

"Naturally, it passed the trial of the holy sword. Lance said, pointing to the sword on the table.

"Our Elven Order serves many elves, and the core elves are the Elves of the Lake. Legend has it that our Lord saved the Lake Spirit from a demon, but was about to die. In order to repay the kindness, the spirit of the lake sacrificed the stigma of the lake and three sacred swords of the lake. The Holy Lord, nourished by the stigmata and the holy sword, not only survived, but also became a half-human, half-elf being. This sword is one of the three holy swords at the beginning, and it has no regrets. Lance said.

Su Ge blinked: "The lake without regrets that you said in the tavern really exists?"

Lance nodded seriously: "Of course, I was officially recognized by the Holy Stigmata because I stepped on that lake, and I am qualified to use this unapologetic determination to become a Holy Sword Envoy." ”

Thinking of this, Su Ge asked seriously, "Then what should I do next?"

"The holy sword is connected to the stigmata, and if you hold this sword, because there is no stigma, you will be treated as an intruder, and it will be pulled into that lake for trial. If you pass, you can get out of that lake, and if you don't, your will will be lost here forever, and finally gradually dissipate and become part of the lake. ”

Hearing this, Su Ge sighed, "This is really a perfect protection mechanism." Those who can't pass the trial die there without worrying about the sword being snatched away. Those who pass the trial will be imprinted with a stigma and will not be able to cause damage to any of the Elven Order. Even if this sword is taken away, there is no need to worry about turning its head against yourself. ”

Lance smiled a little proudly, "It's really strange what you're focusing on. ”

Su Ge laughed: "Feel it, of course, my focus is on this." Is the place where the lake is located a spiritual space, or is it an illusion, or is it a dream-like space?"

"It's a real space between reality and illusion, a blur between all known spaces. I would like to remind you that that space is a spiritual entry, in which none of your outward equipment can manifest or be used. Just like this sword, the determination without regrets is the true essence of your soul, and only those who are as strong as steel and have no remorse for their actions can step on that lake!"

The corners of Su Ge's mouth curled slightly, and he stretched out his hand with a confident face: "I have had a lot of regrets, but now, I don't have any." ”

After hearing this, Lance smiled and said: "I hope that your true will can be consistent with what you say, you are a pure person with a clean soul, and I sincerely hope that you can pass this trial." ”

With that, he handed the sword over.

Su Ge stretched out his hand halfway: "This thing shouldn't consume too much time, right? ”

"Rest assured, the whole experience seems to be only a matter of a minute. ”
