Chapter 44: Merit and Return (II)
To open the first one, it takes ten merits, and after opening it, the space is twenty, representing abundance and the accumulation of wealth
To open the second one, it takes twenty merits, and after opening it, the space is forty parts, to strengthen one's body
To open the third one, it takes forty parts of merit, and after opening it the space is eighty parts, it is a prophetic and revealing symbol that often brings advice to fate
To open the fourth one, it takes eighty merits, and after opening it, the space is one hundred and sixty parts, which is the wind, which represents a kind of rapid divine action
To open the fifth, it takes one hundred and sixty merits, and after opening the space, it is three hundred and twenty parts, which represents the reward, and only when you obtain it, can you truly transform the power into an existence that changes the body and spirit.
To open the sixth one, it takes three hundred and twenty merits, and after opening it, the space is six hundred and forty parts, which is a contract, a kind of sharing contract and a gift, and receiving the gift places the recipient in an obligation to the giver, and perhaps its deeper agreement is that it produces a contract between the two, and for the first time it has the power to share and share with others
To open the seventh, it takes six hundred and forty merits, and the space after that is one thousand two hundred and eighty, which means light, and this light illuminates the path ahead. It illuminates the darkness of uncertainty or ignorance, and this light is great power.
And to open the eighth, one thousand two hundred and eighty merits are required (note, the above modifications are subject to this one)
After purifying the Earl of Darkness, destroying the Abyss Altar, and completing the savior's deeds, he only gained 800 merits and opened the seventh star, while establishing the system and reforming farming only gained 300 merits
Therefore, this time, purifying the remnants of the dark soul along the way, in addition to the consumption of the opening, there are about eight hundred merits, but it is worth celebrating that the merits of Jade Ruyi are slowly increasing with the passage of time.
The group, walking and talking, stopped at the door of a hotel, which was also newly opened, and could smell the fragrance of new wood, but the scale was very large, with two floors and more than 20 rooms.
"Grand Duke, from time to time people come to make pilgrimages, because inns are also necessary, I have to say, this has brought a lot of economy to our territory."
"Is the temple still collecting contributions?" Fang Xin asked.
"According to your system, the temple does not accept any land donations except for the land on which the church is built, but it does accept donations of property." Bishop Banier said: "The only pity is that now according to the standard of 200 people per altar, our church needs at least 300 priests, but now, don't say 300, even 10 qualified, this is a long process. ”
"The church still needs to be lacking rather than rotting."
"Of course I know this, only those who pass the knowledge assessment and faith test will obtain the qualification of a priest, and the knowledge assessment can be faked, and the faith test, can it still be hidden from the goddess?" Bishop Barnier smiled and said, "However, such a situation, in more than ten years, will definitely be resolved." ”
Fang Xin sighed: "I can't see this day." ”
"Grand Duke, you are only thirty-one years old, why can't you see it?" At this moment, the knight, who was originally silent behind him, interjected regardless of his identity: "God will bless you!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, ignoring the young knight's recklessness.
The newly-made rattan chair, with a table table, the owner obviously knew these people, and saluted in fear, while several pilgrims around him also bowed.
Seeing all this, Fang Xin couldn't help but feel satisfied, this is the world he created.
"You guys stand down first, let's go upstairs and talk!" Fang Xin said, telling the knights to stand down and stay downstairs.
The upstairs room, very simple, but there were windows on three sides, and the sun shone on the floor, and both of them enjoyed the warmth and went up to the balcony to talk.
"Divine Favor, how much time do you have?" Bishop Barnier asked, not surprised by the question.
"If you insist on staying, you can stay for about three months, but this thing is meaningless, what I have done has already been done." Fang Xin's cautious look at him was very strange.
The nutrition warehouse can last for two months, according to the time ratio of almost 1 to 10, that is, 20 months, at most two years, and now that one and a half years have passed, it can only be left for three months at most.
"No, you still have one more thing to do." Bishop Barnier still said solemnly.
"What's the matter? The altar of the abyss has been destroyed, the cause of salvation has been completed, and the remnants of the souls everywhere have been purified, in terms of religion, you and I have already done it, in the future, as long as we wait for the faith of the goddess of the earth to stabilize and precipitate, in the political aspect, I have established the royal power and the state, laid the foundation for the next few hundred years, in the economic aspect, I have improved farming, and promised the city of free commerce, I don't think, there is still nothing to be done. ”
"My esteemed Highness, you have not left a descendant!" Bishop Barnier said sternly.
"Why? Aren't there seven-year-old Kaiwei and five-year-old Amy? Fang Xin said with a little confusion.
"Others don't know, but the nobles and we all know that it is Hannett's child, not your child, I regret to see that although you have had relations with many young ladies in the past year, but you have no children, if you leave, the heirs of the principality, are they them?" Bishop Barnier said: "From God, return to God, those children, who do not come from God, from the lineage of spirits, have no right to rule the earth in the name of God." ”
"This is what you say, O Barnier, listen, I have come upon Hannett, who has accomplished my cause, and it is only natural that I should share in my glory, and his children should have enjoyed their wealth in peace, and besides, I have saved the world for my own sake and for my family's sake? There is no need to talk about this. Fang Xin said.
"In this case, the Church will not recognize the second Grand Duke as having the title of king." Bishop Barnier said without flinching.
"You can do it!" Fang Xin didn't have much interest in this at all: "After I leave, you just protect Hannett and let him not destroy the career I left behind." ”
"Of course, we will not allow Hannett to tarnish your glory, because this glory belongs to the Savior and to God." Bishop Barnier agreed.
The warm sunlight shone into the study, drinking the best wine, Fang Xin said with some regret: "I really want to see the future in ten years, but unfortunately it is probably not, and I want to thank you and Cortad, in you, I have learned a lot of knowledge and swordsmanship." ”
"These are just small tricks compared to God." Bishop Barnier apparently didn't care at all: "You are a messenger showered in the light of God, and you don't need to care about it at all. ”
Fang Xin smiled and didn't speak again, but he did learn a lot, especially sword skills, following this one-sided first knight to learn, now the sword technique of Yuemen has entered the third order.
"Then I'll leave." Fang Xin finished his glass of wine and closed his eyes.
At this moment, Bishop Barnier looked up, and it saw the heavens, opened the door, and a round of the sun appeared in the sky, shedding incomparable brilliance, so holy, so great, and a little golden spirit quickly flew out of the body of the person in front of him, and disappeared into the sun.
The sun disappeared and Bishop Banier prayed in a low voice: "May you go well!" ”
And the light dissipated, the opposite body opened his eyes, Bishop Barnier glanced at it, although the person in front of him was still exactly the same, but in his eyes, in his actions, there was no longer that sense of majesty and unfathomability, he sighed regretfully, and his voice turned cold: "Grand Duke Hannett, the fortunate one, you must now live with the hope of God and all people, I hope you will not tarnish the glory of the Savior." ”
With that, he turned away and never looked at the person in front of him again.
