Chapter 329: Faith and Divine Magic (1)

As Steinecker said, the level of ritual in the Holy See is absolutely the best in the world, and after spending the precious time of countless talented artists over the centuries, the Holy See has a set of solemn uniforms that can be regarded as a world model...... Of course, earn more at the Vatican. 【】

In addition to the beautiful equipment, the Vatican Holy See is also quite well organized, and it can be said that it is not inferior to the red army, and most of the religious armed forces are the same - the superhuman appearance and tight organization are the prison of the lower classes.

In just five days, the Vatican gathered 700,000 faithful from all over the world to prepare for the blessing Mass ceremony held by the Pope himself. Everyone has to pay for their own food and lodging, and there can be very expensive travel expenses. Those in Oceania, the Americas or the Nordic countries will have to take a full day flight to get to the Vatican in five days.

Looking at the white-haired cardinal who smiled after receiving the money, looking at the hard-working believers who came to the Vatican to worship in first class with a monthly salary, and looking at the smiling small traders who were doing tourist business between Rome and the Vatican Heights, Chen Yi and his entourage felt the atmosphere of harmony and friendship of the Catholic Church.

As requested for $23 million, Paul II, "Bishop of Rome, representative of Christ, successor of the Lord of the Disciples, Supreme Priest (Pope), Patriarch of the West, Archbishop of Italy (Prefect of Bishops), Archbishop and Metropolitan of Rome, Head of State of the Vatican and Servant of the Servants of God", performed a Mass with great changes.

The Mass is the highest liturgy of Catholicism, and it is the sacrifice of God on the altar with the Eucharist and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is usually replaced by bread and the Holy Blood is usually replaced by wine, and the Eucharist and the Holy Blood are eventually distributed to all who participate in the ritual for consumption, which is a great invention of the Church and thus attracts countless believers.

With 700,000 people prostrate in an airtight square that could only hold 500,000 people, the Pope stood on St. Peter's balcony in the only white sè robe and white sè skullcap, with a solemn and friendly smile on his face. For a man to practice such a smile, he has to be a priest and be old. Steinecker was still on fire.

In addition to the Pope, the cardinals of the Cardinal Order were all present, and for 23 million US dollars, they rented more than 100 of them for three days to perform, which is more expensive than any big-name star. The bishops, dressed in their trademark red robes and smiling like a pope, are everyone fantasizing about the wonderful life they will live when they ascend to the throne.

As Bishop Dean promised, the Pope celebrated Mass in a purely medieval religious ritual that had been transformed. He himself stood on the balcony of St. Peter, but the center of the Mass was in the Sistine Chapel, which had previously been the Pope's private chapel, so there was no problem with setting it up.

At this moment, Chen Yi stood in the chapel with his feet weak, recalling the enjoyment that Liu Xinyu had given him in the past five days, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the choir boys, silently reciting the prayer sutra: God is glorified in heaven, and those whom the Lord loves enjoy peace in the world. Lord, God, King of Heaven, Almighty God and Father, we praise You, praise You, worship You, exalt You, and thank You for Your supreme glory......

He wasn't ready to believe in "Zhen C", so although his feet were soft like noodles, he still didn't have the slightest worry, but slowly released his fighting energy, letting himself go deep into the magic net as much as possible and infiltrating the original energy...... This is very difficult for many knights, and it takes many years to practice, but for Chen Yi, who is familiar with practicing in the subway, it is just a mechanical repetition.

When the bell rang, Chen Yi swore in a low voice: I will "walk the talk", "be humble and humble", "be honest", and "keep my oath......

He waited anxiously...... Among the six major beliefs of the paladins of the kingdom of Santa Chio, he gave up "loyalty to the temple" and "justice", and there were many knights who gave up the latter, and it was unusual to abandon the former - if it were not for the knowledge of the popes and bishops of the Vatican, they would definitely deny Chen Yi's prayers and oaths in the following holy liturgy, and then it would be almost impossible to achieve faith.

I don't know how long later, the bell rang again, Chen Yi only felt a surge of energy in his chest, and in an instant, a four-pointed star appeared on his left chest, only the size of a palm, emitting a golden light, and in an instant, it pierced his clothes, as if burning. At the same time, his whole body seemed to light up.

The little choir boy's eyes widened and he sang hymns unconsciously in his mouth.

Chen Yi was ecstatic, the four-pointed star represented that all his four beliefs had been recognized by God, and it didn't matter what god it was, he didn't choose to be loyal to the temple anyway.

The earth can also be sacrificed

Chen Yi didn't think too much, quickly took out a magic book from his arms, and silently recited the four divine arts that had been prepared to choose: "Immunity, gift, fluent in language, and free in action." ”

Different beliefs will have different divine arts, and the power of faith determines whether the divine magic is strong or not. Paladins of the first level of divine arts can learn a divine technique from each faith, and continue to strengthen to the three poles after the gods, and get the opportunity to learn further...... If the power of faith is not strong enough, the chances of learning a new magic will be slim.

"Immunity" is a belief magic that is 'true to words', passively immune to attacks below level 4, and actively immune to magic below level 8. Physical attacks are below level 4.

"Gifts" belong to the "Humility and Humility" belief magic that increases the recipient's health by one (10).

"Knowing the language" belongs to the "honest" belief in the gods, knowing all the languages that can be spoken and written.

"Freedom of Movement" is a belief spell that allows the recipient to walk despite obstacles.

Chen Yi finally understood why the knight would rather wronged himself than believe in as many "gods" as possible, the power of divine magic is really impressive-it is not necessarily pure power, but it will make pure power more powerful and irresistible. It's like giving Beamon a teleportation......

Different types of paladins will choose different types of divine arts, although the purely damaging divine techniques are powerful, but in Chen Yi's opinion, there are various ways to attack, and there are countless ways to kill...... Chen Yi can now choose the powerful "Divine Summon" to obtain otherworldly creatures similar to the summoning of the Truth, or he can choose a lethal magic similar to the "Firestorm", or a divine magic that multiplies the power of "Righteousness Like a Rainbow......

But what's the use of those, if needed, Chen Yi can pay a smaller price, summon powerful ground attack helicopters, special forces and armored vehicles, and buy tons of high-energy explosives and guided missiles......

He tried to keep his smile back and maintain a humble posture as he approached the choir boys and looked at the lyrics in front of them.

The Latin hymns, the dragons flying and the snakes dancing, are all handwritten.

Chen Yi had seen very few Latin words, but he now recognized the words on it.

He whispered a Latin word of hymn: Have mercy on us.

The syllables are pure and surprising to themselves.

The legendary level 9 konjac can make people know a language permanently, its value is high, the survival is rare, and the cultivation is strict enough to make a kingdom feel làng, but a single magic "knows the language" can have all the ability to read and write the language - presumably the vast majority of the people of the world are willing to pay the price of "honesty" for this.

The stronger the belief in "honesty", the stronger the ability to "know the language", and perhaps one day the paladin will be able to write beautiful novels in Chinese, English, French, Russian, Italian, German, and Maracheng at the same time......

Now that the divine art has been obtained, the next two and a half days have essentially lost their meaning. It also represents the second half of the traditional Mass service, which is all about the pure ritual consumption of làng, which consumes time and energy. Perhaps in the world of the Chinese era, people came all the way to attend the ceremony, and they didn't want it to end so early.

If the Olympics can be held for two or three years, China will be very happy.

With a Latin blessing, Chen Yi slowly walked out of the Sistine Chapel and walked towards St. Peter's Square in the easternmost direction.

The sky is unbelievably clear, and the blue sky seems to be depressed, making people feel like they are on the Tibetan Plateau. The sound of the boiling people's breathing, echoing in the tiny Papal Territory, is like the wind passing through a canyon.

Steinecker saw Chen Yi out of nowhere, walked over with a smile, and said, "How?" Still satisfied? ”

"Very good."

"In the next two days, it's going to look good. I am really looking forward to the Mass of the Middle Ages, and this time for you, at least 300 clergy participated in the collation and revision of the texts...... This masterpiece is also your contribution to the church. Steinecker's words are full of emotion for the church. Although he did not like most of the practices of the church, he was truly faithful.

"You're so polite." Chen Yi must say so, otherwise it is not in line with the belief of modesty and humility. Once the faith is violated, the power of the magic will be reduced, and it will not be so easy to improve it.

Stannick laughed and asked, "Do you like this kind of ceremony?" ”

Chen Yi pondered the sentence and said, "It's okay." ”

If you choose the belief of "justice", you cannot judge in this way, but there is a kind of fair judgment in one sentence. The Lone Ranger often chooses this faith, but the paladins in the kingdom almost invariably abandon "justice". It's hard to be fair in politics, and your colleagues may understand your beliefs, but your political opponents don't mind framing you.

Chen Yi comforted himself in his heart: It's good to get used to it in the future. At the same time, it aroused the magic of "freedom of movement", and it was like a fish in water on the periphery of the crowded square.
