The dimly lit interior of the room was filled with a strong smell of herbs and a certain strong incense, and the mixed smell was very dizzying.

On a bed covered with delicate brocade and silk blankets, a dying scholar has finally reached the last stage of his life.

The atmosphere in the room was very silent, and from time to time there were a few slight sobs, which were suppressed again.

Wearing a black dress, Lei Lin stood expressionlessly in the group of guests, staring at the old man on the bed.

At this time, his face was completely devoid of his previous youthfulness, and he was a little more mature, and he was already a young and handsome young man.

And the old man lying on the bed was Anthony.

This scholar is an ordinary person after all, and he has already had traces of vitality exhaustion before, and it is very unexpected for him to be able to support it until now.

However, when Lei Lin came here, in addition to being a student's obligation to see off the teacher, he also had more important things to do.

At this time, Anthony, who was lying on the bed, twitched, his throat rose and fell, and even a trace of blush appeared on his face, which was obviously to the point of returning to the light.

"Pastor, call the Pastor!"

His wife and screamed, and the children next to him burst into tears.

"The gods are watching you in the kingdom of God!"

The crowd parted from both sides, revealing the pitiful face of Bishop Tarbris.

"Thank you! Thank you, Lord Bishop!" said Anthony's wife, who, as the bishop of the god of knowledge, was undoubtedly of high standing on the island of Faoran. Being able to come to pick up the other party this time can be said to have given Anthony enough face. Although Lei Lin suspected that this was due to the strength of his Faoran family, he said it anyway. It's always good, isn't it?

"My life...... Start ...... Sicily"

Tablis waved his hand and shed a burst of light to stabilize Anthony's condition, and the other began to say one last prayer or memory.

"Leylin, my student, I hope to see the day when you succeed, even in the kingdom of God, I will silently bless you!"

"I understand, teacher!" Lei Lin hurriedly took two steps forward. The detection capability of the chip has been turned on to the maximum.

After saying the will, Anthony was able to mention Leylin, which still made Tarbis feel a little, it seemed that the other party really cared about this student, and his investment this time was not a mistake.

"I ...... I saw the light of the gods......"

Anthony struggled at last, his palms stretched forward, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his arms fell limply to the edge of the bed.

"Woo...... Anthony...... Dear Anthony...... "Many cries rang out together.

The expression on Tablis's face was even more pitiful, and he was saying a eulogy for Anthony: "...... He was a wise scholar. He was also a helpful and good man, and as a believer in the God of Knowledge, Anthony Blanton, he spent his life practicing the teachings of the gods. And after his death, the gates of God's kingdom will be opened for him......"

"There it is!"

There was a hint of excitement in Leylin's eyes, through an astonishing sense of power. He saw a golden door of light.

The door slowly opened, and a divine light shone down. And in the light of God, Anthony's soul involuntarily emerged from above the body. Finally, after slowly glancing at the mortal world, he resolutely threw himself into the kingdom of God.

"The Kingdom of God...... A higher space above the main material world......" Lei Lin sighed in his heart.

"Moreover, the souls of ordinary believers must first fall into the underworld, and then pass the discernment of death before they can ascend to the kingdom of the gods, but Antony's soul seems to omit this step, is this the prerogative of the bishop......"

Leylin thought thoughtfully.

After the soul of the believer arrives at the kingdom of God, it is theoretically transformed into a prayer and is free from birth, old age, sickness and death, and as long as the gods do not fall and the kingdom of God is not destroyed, they can basically be with the gods.

To some extent, this can be regarded as a kind of immortality, although it cannot withstand the intrusion of any external force.

"It is rumored that high-level invokers can even make a leap to the soul level and become a Spirit-like being...... Each of these Holy Spirits is the most precious treasure of the gods, but unfortunately the number is ......."

According to Reeling, the kind of Holy Spirit, immortal and immortal beings in the state of the soul, is obviously very similar to the materialization of the soul.

In other words, every soul of the Holy Spirit can theoretically be compared to the true spirit of a sixth-level Dawn Wizard.

"Although the formation of the Holy Spirit depends entirely on external forces, there is also the benefit of being attached to the gods and not having the benefit of longevity and suffering, and how terrifying the defensive power in the kingdom of God should be accumulated over time......

The strength of the Endless Prayer Merger, the Holy Spirit, and the highest authority in the space make the gods' combat power in the kingdom of God simply invincible.

Even if a powerful divine power wants to kill the other party in the kingdom of gods with weak divine power, I am afraid that he will have to pay an unbearable price.

And the fate of those wizards who broke into the kingdom of God even more recklessly, there is no need for Lei Lin to think about it again.

"Obviously, Mr. Anthony's soul is far from meeting the criteria for promotion to the Holy Spirit, and the great god of knowledge, Ogmar, is obviously not going to make an exception for him......

After the divine light converged and the traction power disappeared, Lei Lin's tense body quietly relaxed.

"However, with the bishop opening the back door for him, he must be in a much better situation than the average contender......

"Thunderlin!"

At this time, Bishop Tablis, who had finished the ceremony, also came to his side.

"Your Excellency!" said Reelin saluting respectfully, after all, he was nominally a believer in the God of Knowledge.

"Anthony is a devout believer, and he must be well cared for in the kingdom of God, so there is no need to worry about him......" Tablis said as if comfortingly, as if there was something to come.

Leylin and Tarbres left the room and walked into the flower bed, and the other crowd of people automatically gave up the area to them.

"If I'm not mistaken, your coming-of-age ceremony has been held, and from now on, you will be a real man!"

Bishop Tarbrice shifted the conversation to Leylin.

"Yes, it was just last month,......" replied Lei Lin very humbly, according to the customs of this world, a boy can be regarded as an adult at the age of fifteen, and he can also marry and have children.

"I was next to you when you were last born, and you were still a baby at that time, but I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye......"

Bishop Tarblis smiled, as if caught in a memory, and the ten-level priesthood did not leave a mark on his face, in fact, he was much older than Anthony.

"It's just...... I seem to have seen you very little at the celebrations of our temple, Baron Jonas may be busy, but Lady Sarah is a devout believer......"

There seemed to be a hint of discontent in Tarburis's voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord Bishop, I've been experimenting with Mentor Ernest a lot, and I've probably lost track of time......"

Leylin quickly apologized, and a helpless expression appeared on Bishop Tablis's face.

The belief of the type of mage is always the least religious, and many of them are just pan-believers, and he has long expected this outcome.

In fact, although the entire Faolan family is a believer in the God of Knowledge, it has never completely fallen to the side of the Cult.

In many places on the mainland, the secular power and theocracy represented by the nobles are in open and secret struggle, and even Baron Jonas has also drawn the new God of Suffering, Ilmat, into his territory after the entry of the Church of Knowledge, and even wants to build the Temple of Wealth, so that other gods can come over and divide the believers of the God of Knowledge - for the nobles, this is simply instinct!

And Tablis obviously can't accept this, and it is his plan to win over the next generation of patriarchs of the Faoran family.

Unfortunately, this Thunderlin mage, like his father, never forgot to donate and worship the temple, but rarely participated in fanatical religious ceremonies.

Moreover, the other party is still a mage, and he has the help of a mentor...... Tablis's eyes deepened.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness, Bishop Tablis, please allow me to donate ten gold coins to the church to confess my sins, and be sure to let me know the next time I have a celebration and a cultural salon!"

On the issue of religion, Lei Lin had long made up his mind to be a soy sauce maker, but since the other party had mentioned it, Lei Lin could only deal with it first.

Anyway, he had already planned to go to the Divine Cult celebrations from time to time, disguised as a believer.

"That's good! The 'Holy Baptism' after seven days is the day to commemorate the exploits of the God of Knowledge in inculcating the demon Angelmani, and our temple will also hold a grand celebration on that day, and we look forward to meeting you......

"It's my pleasure, I'll definitely be here then!"

Since it was Tabris's personal invitation, Leylin readily agreed.

"Good!" Tarbrice nodded, and was soon asked to go by the anxious people who had been waiting for him for a long time—he had a lot to do on top of Anthony's funeral arrangements.

After the Bishop left, Leylin stayed in the garden, looking at the white rose behind the wooden railing, and the expression on his face was very playful.

"What does it mean if you want me to go in person?

In fact, with the protection of the nobility, the deterrent power of the church is not as great as imagined, and if Tablis dares to do anything out of the ordinary, he will definitely be resisted by the entire Dambrath nobles. (To be continued......)
