Chapter 449: The Sacred Library

Ilement's words made the old man's smile stiffen, he didn't expect Element, an inconspicuous probationary priest, to have such an understanding, and pointed out the biggest shortcomings within the Holy See. Outsiders may not know that the interior of the Holy See, which has always claimed equality, is the most restrictive place in the entire continent.

People inside the Holy See have never taken this seriously, and still insist that in the eyes of outsiders, the Holy See is still the same organization that is close to the people and equal, but in fact, on the contrary, even the trainee priest who is not very bright-minded from a small place can see that this is nothing more than the Holy See deceiving itself, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.

"But I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, ordinary priest's robes can't cover your graceful and luxurious temperament, could it be that you are a certain big person in Weifu's private interview?" said Ilmente's tone of voice, a very obvious compliment. His instincts told him that he must try his best to please the old man in front of him.

It is true that he is not very flexible in his brain, but he has a keen instinct by nature, and he tends to act according to his instincts when his brain can't keep up. At least so far, his instincts have never been wrong.

"Young man, I can't see that you are very insightful~ I want to remind you to remember the choice you just made, don't take people by what you wear~" Eliment's sycophant made the old man very useful, he nodded with satisfaction, and said with a pun.

"Thank you for the compliment. But can you tell me why an ordinary prayer room has become such a golden labyrinth?" At this time, Eliment's mind followed, and since the old man had acquiesced to his guess, then his identity must be extraordinary. He had a rare opportunity to get in touch with the big names of the Holy See, and he had to seize it.

Eliment was constantly thinking about being able to hug some of the thick thighs of the Holy See, so that the day would not be far from his prosperity. Considering himself to be just a middleman, Eliment always felt that this was the only way for him to get ahead, otherwise he would not have joined the Holy See.

"Well, what do you say?" the old man muttered, "you can simply think that this place chose you, and that's why I brought you here through the prayer room." ”

"I've been chosen here?" asked Element, hesitantly, not quite understanding what that meant, and from his meagre knowledge he knew that this so-called choice was often not a free lunch.

"Ahem, let me start at the beginning. The old man looked at Eliment's dumbfounded look, and he was hesitant in his heart, and he didn't understand why the holy relic would choose such a dumb goose-like guy.

When Eliment heard the old man say this, he immediately showed a deferential expression. He's not smart, but he knows how to react when.

"Well, how do you say that?" the old man scratched his scalp under the peaked hat in embarrassment, obviously explaining was not something he was good at, "First of all, this is not a labyrinth in your eyes, but a library, a sacred library. ”

With a wave of his hand, Eliment noticed that the surroundings had changed wonderfully, the glittering gold bricks had all been transformed into simple and heavy books, and the walls that made up the corridors had become huge bookshelves that reached to the ceiling. Candles as thick as children's arms emit a soft holy light, illuminating the place.

Eliment noticed that the storage compartment he had just taken out of the holy fruit was nothing more than a small and elaborate partition in a bookshelf to store food.

"Gods, sacred maps, libraries?" asked Ilement, visibly startled by the changes around him.

"That's right, it's the most complete collection of sacred texts about the Lord of Light on the continent. And I'm the caretaker of this sacred library, you can call me Vernon. The old man introduced himself.

"Hello, Vernon, Administrator, you say this is the most complete collection of sacred texts on the continent?" Eliment's gaze fell on a corner of a nearby bookshelf, where there was a dilapidated tome with the words "History of the Iliad Empire" clearly written on the spine.

"Ahem, you know that the establishment of the Empire is inseparable from the strong support of the Holy See. Vernon followed Eliment's gaze and saw the "miscellaneous book" that was obviously not a sacred text, and explained with a blushing face.

In fact, there were many miscellaneous books in this library that were not sacred texts, which he had collected from all corners of the continent while he was in office. Fortunately, Element only found this miscellaneous book that could barely be compared to the Holy See, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it. If Eliment guessed his true identity, the face of the entire Holy See would really be lost to the Holy Realm of Light.

"You just said you chose me here?" Seeing the look of uncertainty on Vernon's face, Ilement wisely did not dwell on the issue, but asked in a different direction.

"That's right. Not all Cultists are eligible to enter here. In fact, with the exception of the Pope, only those who have been chosen by this library will be allowed to enter here. Obviously, you're one of the lucky ones. Very, very lucky. Vernon winked mischievously at Eliment. He was very pleased that Element's interest did not continue with the question that had embarrassed him.

"And what did this library choose me for?" Ilmente asked directly, stunned, without the subtle virtues that a clergyman should have.

"Inheritance, you will receive the same inheritance of the Holy See as bestowed by the Holy Library. Vernon said with a smile.

"Could it be that the text that popped into my mind is the legacy that the Holy Library has given me?" said Element to herself.

"That's right. It seems that you have unparalleled luck in getting the favor of the Holy Library so easily. Vernon's smile couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

If the information he received was correct, the inheritance that this probationary priest had received turned out to be one of the two great secret techniques of the Holy See, the oracle technique! This is simply incredible, considering that there is no other person in the current Holy See who has mastered this powerful spell that can predict the future.

"Could it be that the inheritance I got turned out to be an oracle?" asked Eliment excitedly. The passage that had just somehow appeared in his mind could only be explained by a lineage, and after his small testing, it was clear that this lineage had some kind of characteristics of predicting the future—albeit only a few minutes later—but it was the most obvious feature of the oracle, one of the two most iconic secret techniques of the Holy See.

"Ugh. Vernon was obviously choked up by Illemant's words, and out of some concern, he didn't want to easily admit that Elemente had obtained the inheritance of the oracle, so he quickly denied it: "No, no, no, it's too early to assert that, you have to pass some simple tests to determine what kind of inheritance you have obtained." ”
