Chapter 158: Changing Fate
The three of them just stood there, a little overwhelmed.
While the items in their hands confirmed that what they had experienced before was not a dream, but... That's it? Just let them go?
All three of them had a sense of loss.
In front of them was a statue, about three meters high, of a man in a simple robe, and beside him was a long sword stuck in the ground.
Although the whole statue looks unremarkable, since it is placed in this temple, there is no doubt that it is a statue. And, the most amazing thing is that no matter how they look at it, they can't form an impression of what the idol looks like.
This miraculous phenomenon made Karco and Kwai Rath secretly surprised, and they could only sigh that it was worthy of the means of the gods.
After a brief moment of amazement, they were inexplicably lost.
For the first time in their lives, they were able to meet the gods and get the holy relics given by the gods for the first time, obviously both of them can be called their great honors, but this double honor did not make them ecstatic at this moment, and they only felt empty in their hearts.
For Karco, even if there is no reward, as long as she can serve by the gods, it will be a great happiness for her.
However, she quickly got rid of this feeling of loss, after all, she is still the king of a country, and she has a responsibility to her people, even if she does have the opportunity to serve the gods, she must be hesitant to calm down after joy.
Pressing the regret in her heart, Karl can turn her attention to the book in her hand.
Turning the page, Kark looked strange: "This is... First-Order Faith Magic? It is followed by the second, third, and fourth order ......"
As she continued to flip through the pages, the look on her face was replaced by surprise, and her eyes widened slightly: "This book is full of faith magic!" And... So thick! ”
Listening to her whispered exclamation, Kwai Rath also came over, she took the "Holy Codex" in Kaerko's hand and flipped it directly to the back, and it didn't take long for an expression of disbelief on her face to appear.
"This is ......" Kwai Latt's whole person fell into endless shock at this time, "Tenth Rank?!"
"Tenth rank! Although we have all heard that magic has a maximum of the tenth rank, no one has ever been able to use magic above the sixth rank, so it is regarded as a kind of legend among the powerful who are good. ”
Karco also saw the contents of that page at this time, and she was shocked and explained to Remetios on the side, because Remetios never remembered this information.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried to study, it would be difficult for her to achieve results, so she redoubled her efforts to hone her sword skills, and thus achieved today's results - the only paladin in the Holy Kingdom to step into the realm of heroes.
"There is no doubt that this book is more precious than the entire Holy Kingdom! We must not let anyone know the specifics of it, especially you, sister! Absolutely no one, one, word can be revealed! ”
Kuirat came to his senses and immediately closed the Holy Codex, then looked at Remetios with a serious face and sternly warned her.
The reason why she only said this to Remetios was because she knew that she was probably the only one who didn't understand the seriousness of the battle, although her sister was undoubtedly the best comrade in battle, but in normal times... Don't talk about it.
Seeing that her sister nodded as if she didn't understand, Kwai Rath sighed and returned the book to Kaerko. Immediately, she picked up the scepter she had gotten: "This is the 'reward' given to me by the gods." ”
She held the scepter and used a fourth-order faith magic, and after some evaluation, she spoke: "It has greatly strengthened the total amount of my mana, and the recovery speed of mana is also amazingly fast, as for more details, it can only be discovered slowly through time." However, just two of its current characteristics are worthy of its God-given name. ”
Stroking the scepter, Kweirat's face was full of excitement. As a fifth-order Faith Magic Chanst, her talent can be said to be the highest among humans in this world, and even the leader of the Rose, Rajas, can't compare to her.
However, because the Holy Kingdom was not wealthy, she didn't have particularly good equipment in the past, and her equipment was not bad for the third and fourth ranks, but for her, it could only be regarded as unsatisfactory, and now she finally had a hard time.
"Sister, what about you? I don't see you getting anything new. Soon, Kuilat looked at Remetios.
"Hey, me? What I got was 'strength' – 'the blessing of strength'. Remetios smug face, "It can make me."
Possess far more strength and defense than ever before. ”
Karco and Quirath glanced at each other and noticed that there was a smile hidden in each other's eyes, which was indeed the most appropriate for Remetios.
Then, after gathering their minds, the three of them left the temple and returned to the group they had brought with them.
In the "Heavenly Realm", Ios was still sitting on the throne, and what the three of them had seen before was actually just an illusion, and those were all false visions that had evolved in their minds with a trace of his momentum.
After all, Ios is a true god, and his true body has transcended the ordinary three-dimensional universe to reach a higher dimension, and it is impossible for mortals to see the full picture of his true body.
But even so, the mere appearance of Him in a corner of the three-dimensional universe was not something they could look at. Just as one cannot look directly at the sun with the naked eye, too strong light will only hurt the eyes.
Even if it was only a part of the "truth" that He revealed, if Kark and they saw it, their minds and even their souls would be destroyed in an instant by his immense divine might.
That's why He used visions.
"You cannot see my face, for no man can live when he sees my face."
- The Exodus
……
"I hope you can change your destiny through this." Ios looked at the three people who walked away and sighed slightly.
The three of them were given the treasure not because of the frivolous reason that they were the ones who had passed the test for the first time, but simply because he felt that their end was too miserable.
Although Ios is not a bad person, he doesn't want good people to end up like that, so he tries to change their fate on a whim.
Of course, the fact that they are all beautiful is also a factor, everyone has a love for beauty, and he has not seen through the red dust.
In addition, this world is not without existences that can fight against the Nasalik underground tomb, such as those surviving true dragon kings, it is better to fight the evil in this world or rely on the natives of this world, wouldn't it be too bullying if he ended up in person?
And the three of them are some of the chess pieces he chose, after all, they are not badly talented, if they are cultivated...... Maybe you can fight the maids of the Pleiades?
With his support, how can it play a big role, and it will definitely be interesting at that time.
Ios looked to the not-so-distant future, trying to anchor the worldline to what he wanted.
As a new god, he still has a lot to learn and his abilities not yet fully mastered, and in a world where there is no threat to him, he is free to do what he wants.
Such a rare opportunity cannot be wasted.
