Chapter 15: The Holy Ones
"If it's not a game but the real world, how can we explain the proportions of the passage of time... And how can we be resurrected if we die? But not in the real world, how can Berial absorb power, which in theory shouldn't just be "data"? When the mystery of the game "Century" is revealed, the secret hidden in it makes Ei's heart palpitate: "In any case, it is no longer possible to treat any of the "people" you see as too many high-level NPCs or ordinary mission characters. Something else is not something I can touch for the time being. Shadow thought to himself.
At this time, Joseph walked to the prayer table, and there was only a statue of an angel on top of the simple environment, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned around, and the holy power around him flowed slowly: "Child, I haven't asked your name yet."
Ying replied truthfully: "Dear archbishop, my name is Silver. ”
"Silver, where did you come from?"
Just as Shadow was about to make up an answer, a warning came from his heart
"Master, this descendant of angels has used the power of the Sage's abode to invoke the Lie Test, and I have suppressed it." Berial said quickly.
"Sure enough..."Shadow was shocked, as if he was happily playing ordinary games, just following the main line to do activities, but suddenly found that all the "characters" have become people, not only will they cheat, but they may also play more than the player.
Shadow quickly asked Berial a few questions in his mind and was affirmed, he thought for a moment, and a slightly confused expression emerged: "I just remember that I heard a call from a village, and then walked all the way here" Shadow paused slightly: "But when I came out of the small wooden door... I ......" at this time his face was a little painful and panicked: "I seem to find that I have forgotten many things, including the details of my life!" Shadow's words were a little stumpy at this time.
At this time, the bishops silently looked at each other with expressions that were indeed like this, and then looked at Joseph, who nodded imperceptibly.
At this time, the expression was a little flustered and crying, looking at everyone's actions, the shadow knew that the first level had passed.
"Silver" Joseph called softly, and when the shadow's slightly dazed gaze focused on Joseph, although old, it was heard in a calm voice: "Everyone is a confused lamb, including me. But we have received God's revelation and angelic love to allow us to come out of our confusion. And even saving others, that's our pastor's duty, save! Salvation is more than just healing the wounds of others. Joseph's contagious words calmed down the shadow "at the right time", and some brilliance appeared in his eyes.
"And you, Silver." Joseph paused: "It is very likely that he received the grace of the angel in the assessment of the priest's three questions,"
"Holy Grace?"
Joseph smiled and did not reply, "Come, child." Go to the prayer table and feel what you can perceive around you in front of the image of the angel Metatron as you would normally pray, and we will guide you to awaken and help you gain the power of a formal priest. At this time, Joseph stepped down from the prayer table and encouraged Ei, "Your memory loss is due to the fact that the power level of the Holy Grace is so great that your soul is suppressed. Just slowly adapt to everything and increase the purity of your sequence and faith, and nature will recover. Joseph explained.
At this time, Ying arrived on the prayer table, clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes at the same time, and his face was the same as in reality, not handsome but revealing a resolute temperament, and his expression was serious. Not to mention that through the "popular science" of the shadow of Berial, it is known that the priest's awakening ritual only needs a shepherd. However, if the sequence of people presiding over the ceremony is higher, the natural effect will be better, and there will be an additional increase in the affinity for the light system and even the holy power.
Although Berial could be sure that the 'Holy Church' of this "world" was not the same as the only Lord God she had ever served. But apart from the differences in the roots of faith, the other similarities are extremely high. But as for how high it can be, Berial suggests that Ying take root in the 'Holy Church', get in touch with the core secrets, and confirm whether there are commonalities between them, and the most important task... Trying to steal the power of faith, the more help Béliar's recovery can give Shadow, and as for the Book of Sin, it is better to use it sparingly, although it cannot be used at the moment.
As an "old driver", Berial deservedly became the driver of this time and began the first "dark under the lights"......
When Joseph took the lead, the bishops began to pray,
"Chapter 1, Verse 1, When the First Light Comes Out of Nothingness......"
A neat and solemn voice was heard, and the chanting voices of Joseph and the other bishops were heard in the small prayer room.
As if it had been pulled by the holy power flowing around him, it slowly rotated around the shadow.
In the angel statue in front of the shadow, called Mettaron, the lifelike eyes seemed to come to life at this time.
And in this scene, only Joseph sensed a sense of closeness in his blood, and the old man knew that it was a trace of the holy thought he had left awakened.
"Heh... It's just a remnant? "Berial can clearly feel the same 'bio' aura as her. Disdainfully perceived it, and then did not pay attention, but to do the most important thing at the moment. It can also be seen from this that 'arrogance' does not be redeemed by sealing or liberation......
At this time, Ying felt a warm current infiltrate into his mind and body, and he could feel the sequelae of the spiritual power that had been raised in the environment of the 'Book of Sin', which was slowly relieved at this time, and the throbbing pain in his brain from time to time gradually disappeared. And the soreness of the 'body' is relieved. It's like soaking in a hot spring, and it seems like it's been a long time since you've tried it, right?
Ying thought comfortably, it seems that it is not bad to be immersed in this kind of environment forever? , but vigilantly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait... This feeling ...... "He opened his eyes at this time, and then he found that there seemed to be a 'connection' broken. The mental relief is still there, and the 'physical' relief is also there... Only the sense of sinking is gone.
Shadow narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. And then it seems that the prayer has come to an end.
"When the only kingdom of God returns, the light shines forever, but darkness strikes under nothingness. The sorrow of the Lord turned into tears, and the pain of faith turned into the flame of salvation; He was born out of pure fire. They came down to earth to care for the lost Lambs. And they leave a guide, a guide for the Holy Ones. ”
Joseph's deep voice paused as he spoke
Shadow felt a shock in her heart, as if the entire prayer room had been stripped of time and space, and a feeling of being watched enveloped in her heart.
"Master, this is an angelic remnant left here to confirm the Holy Favor, please rest assured to leave it to me, you just close your eyes and keep this action." Berial's soft voice rang out.
Shadow replied faintly, and closed his eyes expressionlessly.
At this moment, the angel statue was full of agility, and its eyes seemed to move slightly, looking at the shadow.
At the same time, Shadow's eyebrows flashed with a golden light, and a rhythm emanated from his body. Like the whirlpool of the eyes of the sea, the surrounding holy power poured into Shadow's body, and most of it entered Beliar's body, and a small part entered Shadow's real body. An angelic phantus emerges from the shadow's body and stares at the angel statue. At the same time, an invisible wave spreads in the hearts of everyone.
"My holy family" a wordless word floated in the hearts of everyone. But more often than not, he said to the remnants of the Metatron. After saying that, Berial's figure slowly dissipated.
Metatron's remnants of the statue anthropomorphized seemed to show a puzzled expression, and it seemed that he did not have this angel in his memory? But there was nothing wrong with the original echo, and it could have been the spiritual limitation of the residual thoughts, and He didn't think much of it.
"Holy Favor Confirms" another voice appeared in everyone's hearts, and then dissipated.
When the voice of affirmation sounded in the hearts of Archbishop Joseph and other bishops. They saluted respectfully, and at the same time were excited: how many years had it been since there had been a saint in their Episcopal Church? It's been so long that it seems that the angels of this world are no longer thinking about it......
When everything was over, Shadow reopened his eyes, and he could feel that something seemed to be different in himself, and as the holy power around him changed to an irregular flow state, Shadow moved slightly to look at Joseph.
And Joseph also looked happy at this time, and nodded with a smile: "Congratulations, Holy Favor Silver." ”
