Chapter 498, The Flame Sower (Third Update)
Xiao Yan's voice still echoed throughout the hall, and most of the nobles woke up in horror at this moment, they were just dazed by the aura of "unpiety", but their IQ did not drop there. If you storm the library now, it means that the ungodly nobles have stormed the Abbey of Speyer, and the residence of the Lord, which is tantamount to openly opposing the Holy See. Not only that, but storming the church meant a complete betrayal of the Lord, and once the news of such a thing spread, it would be better for these nobles and their families to sit in their castles and wait for the punishment knights to come to their door.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, most of the nobles and their families paused at the same time, and at the same time stopped the noise, and there they whispered prayers with the other priests.
Only Count Volcarbin, who has been riding a tiger in difficulty, and now retreats, and the revenge just now will become a joke. His family, along with his domain, could disappear at any moment, and none of this was something the count could afford.
Therefore, he did not flinch in the slightest, and his fat body continued to rush towards Xiao Yan, roaring loudly as he walked: "Tell me, who will screen our piety?" Who?! ”
This is the question of Xiao Yan's current situation, and it is also the question of Paktu's trial before. Hearing the earl's roar, several nobles twitched slightly, as if they also wanted to step forward.
"Your piety needs not be discerned."
Xiao Yan looked at each other calmly, and dazzling halos continued to burst out on his body, these auras shone in the eyes of those nobles, and a large number of whispered exclamations began to appear in the hall of the entire confession room.
Under the effect of these auras, although Count Volcabin was imposing, it was difficult for him to continue to take half a step forward. There was already some panic in his eyes. The priest in front of him seemed to be an insurmountable mountain. And the Count became the first opponent of the mountain that was about to be crushed.
In another room above the confessional room. Bishop Goggle was also surprised, no one was more familiar with little Fryman's strength than him, and a few days ago the brown-haired boy still needed to mix spells with magic to solve the problem. But now, this little guy can use all the magic techniques from beginning to end, but the power of these first-level or second-level divine skills is amazing.
"78 divine arts, and counting."
On the other side, Quist involuntarily kept drawing crosses on his chest, this data was too terrifying, and it was completely beyond the reach of a level 3 priest. Is it possible to achieve Level 4 Priest? Maybe. But that requires a lot of prayer beforehand, and even then, it can't continue to erupt without hindrance like now.
"If he breaks through 110, then he will become the most outstanding priest in the history of the Holy See."
As soon as Bishop Goger's words fell, the corners of his eyes jumped, in his eyes, little Fryman was no longer limited to low-level divine arts, and third-level divine skills began to trigger one after another after being conceived for a period of time. The thumping sound almost never stopped, and a large amount of light shone from the ground into the air, and then flew down from the sky like snowflakes.
All the people in the hall began to pray. Marvel at the spectacle you see today. Even the nobles who had already entered the library came out one after another, surrounding Xiao Yan. Singing aloud songs of praise to the Lord.
The first-level Divine Skill 30 gene points once, and Xiao Yan "bought" 240 from the European Divine Magic Pool in advance last night.
The second-level divine skill has 70 gene points once, and Xiao Yan "bought" 180 times.
The third-level divine skill has 150 gene points, and Xiao Yan "bought" 80 times.
Xiao Yan's mind was constantly calculating at this time how much of the divine art he had booked from the Divine Skill Pool before.
If it was said that in the past, he still needed to worry about the release of divine arts, but now he has become rich to the point that even the European magic pools are groveling for it.
Is 120,000 gene points enough? Not enough, Xiao Yan can transfer another 90,000 gene points from his permanent magic circle pool, and in his will, there are still millions of gene points waiting to be merged.
It's like there is a saying in the real shijie, if it is a problem that money can solve, then it is not a problem. Getting it here, it can be said that if the gene point can solve the problem, then it is not a problem.
Xiao Yan only has the knowledge of the Bethany Circle system, but he can't have these circles? It's okay, buy it directly from the European magic pool, and keep releasing it, and it will slowly become your own magic circle.
Xiao Yan is not clear about the complete Bethany Circle system? It's okay, just buy all the first-level magic directly from the European Divine Magic Pool, just release them in turn, and you can always experience it slowly.
The confessional hall of the Abbey of Speyer became the best place for Xiao Yan to perform, and the knights of the Holy Crown behind him had even fallen to one knee, and in the whole hall, until now, only Count Volcabin was left struggling.
"Nope! I am religious! The most pious! Everyone in Volcarbin's territory is a believer in the Lord! No one, no one, can be more attentive than I am to the spread of the glory of Christ! ”
"That's your piety, hypocrite, have you ever feared it?"
For the first time, Count Volcabin heard the priest on the other side speak, and it was a very, very young voice, even childish. But such a priest stood there like this, and made the whole hall pray aloud, so that the count could not move an inch.
"If I had not been in awe, how could I have given to the monastery with all my devotion? If I have not feared, why should I let my people believe? Why are you standing here and saying that my piety does not need to be discerned, and why are you preventing me from entering? ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly under the hood and replied in a low voice: "If you use donations to prove your piety, then the most pious person on this shijie is the emperor and not you." If you use the faith of your subjects to prove your piety, then the most religious person on this shijie is not you either, because your territory is only a very small part of the entire empire. Piety is so pure that there is no need to prove it at all, there is yes, there is no yes, and when you use these donations to prove your piety, it already shows that there is no respect for the Lord in your heart at all. You think that piety can be bought with money, and you think that piety can be used in the name of your people. Is this your piety? Answer me, is this your piety? ”
Xiao Yan's Zuihou asked, and the question was extremely gloomy, but the whole hall was full of praise, and in such a strange contrast, Count Volcarbin seemed even more alone. He retreated again and again in Xiao Yan's question, the panic on his face could no longer be contained, and he wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start with those justifications.
Xiao Yan watched the Earl's defeat, did not continue the pursuit, but let go of his palm, and in an instant, a dazzling flame rose from his hand. It was a bright, white, yet majestic fire, and just looking at these fires made one feel like worship.
"Is this the Holy Fire?"
Quist asked, a little surprised, he could feel that the flame seemed to be different from the real flame, but it seemed to be more holy and more perfect. This change made him unable to comprehend, so he could only ask Goggle beside him.
To such a question, Goger could not answer. Because this is not a holy fire, to be exact, it is a mutation effect produced by the superposition of the divine fire and the three-ring spells in the embellishment system, which looks more pure than the real holy fire. If the cardinal says that it is the Holy Fire, then he will break the admonition not to lie and lose communication with the Divine Pool. The problem is that if the cardinal says that it is not a sacred fire, the flame created by Xiao Burning is based on it.
Therefore, whether Goger agrees or disagrees, he may eventually lose communication with the Divine Pool. To Quist's question, the cardinal could only vaguely reply: "It may be a special gift from the Lord, and it is not something we can explain." Don't try to guess at the Lord's gift, that will only lead you into confusion. ”
Quister whispered praise, "Oh, praise, the Lord has let him walk in the world, and knows his piety, and his piety is indeed above us." Only he can become a true walker, praise. ”
Goggle would have liked to have a hood of his own, too, so that his face would twitch under the hood and not be noticed. The problem is that as a cardinal, he needs to behave in a proper manner, as well as in his clothes, so this idea can only become a luxury in the end.
No one knew what Quister was thinking, and the more nobles in the hall just kept chanting against the flame.
Under the cover of this flame, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Archduke Henry behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Honorable you, would you like to try the holy flame?" ”
This question made Henry's face change suddenly, and he subconsciously glanced up at the roof, and then asked, "Weishenme?" ”
"The pious will receive whatever the Holy Fire will receive and will not be harmed in any way, and the hypocrites will be punished by the Holy Fire. Your Excellency, would you like to prove your piety like all the nobles? ”
Henry gently let go of the lady who was holding him tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Haode, I am willing to prove this. ”
"Praise be to the Lord, who cleanses all sin with fire."
Xiao Yan whispered, and then motioned for Henry to stretch out a finger and easily divert a flame and place it on the Grand Duke's finger.
This was nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of the nobles, and the holy fire, which only the priests could grasp and possess, was burning on the archduke's finger at this time, without causing any harm to the archduke.
Henry's face was also full of disbelief, and it took him a moment before he whispered, "It's so warm that I can barely help myself." ”
As soon as the words fell, the flames were instantly extinguished, and the face of the Grand Duke of Bavaria was immediately filled with surprise and reluctance.
"Don't be greedy, if you become greedy for the flame, the flame will be extinguished."
Xiao Yan said with a stick behind his hood. (To be continued......)
