The black-robed bishop's thin cheeks showed a smile that was more ugly than crying. Little Jamie has been stunned by so many titles, and in his eyes, the old man's smile is full of mysterious power, and a sense of awe arises.

Old Charlie was very satisfied with the attitude of the little wizard apprentice at this moment, the red light in his eyes shrank to the size of a pintip, and asked, "Little one, what is your talent?"

Jamie lowered his head in embarrassment, and the paladin Conrad said, "Jamie can make a frog within two meters of him tumble." ”

Old Charlie was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the scene where the little boy had passed, the frogs and toads collectively belly up. Paladin Conlar laughed in unison. The fierce mountain ape let out a shrill laugh and rolled on the floor. Jamie's face flushed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Very talented. Old Charlie stopped smiling, and the mountain ape regained his silence at the same time, "Little one, do you know what my talent is?"

Jamie raised his head, looked enviously at the strong mountain ape and the half-human-tall big owl, and whispered, "Speaker, can you control the animals?"

"Call me Lord Bishop...... If you can become my disciple. The old man was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "What you see are not animals, they are my pets." My talent is also not to control animals, but to make water bubble. ”

"Isn't it disappointing?"

The red light flashed in the old man's eyes, and Jamie thought it was a kind smile, so he nodded naturally, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, Lord...... My lord, I'm not disappointed. ”

Old Charlie did not dwell on the topic and instead asked, "Son, do you consider yourself an evil one?"

"I ...... I think so. Jamie said frustratedly. His sad eyes were red.

"You're honest. Old Charlie said in a hoarse voice: "The true evil will not consider themselves evil." If you were the evil one, you wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have survived to this day. No one is inherently evil, and wizards are no exception. We are human first, and wizards second. The Supreme Lord of Light redeems humanity, including us sorcerers, of course. ”

"Really...... Really?" the little boy asked excitedly.

Paladin Conral smiled mildly, "Of course it's true. Your pious confession has lit up a crystal of atonement. The merciful Lord has not forsaken you, otherwise I would have purified you long ago. ”

"Praise be to my Lord, and may your light shine in every corner of the earth. The little boy put down the wooden box, knelt on the ground skillfully, prayed sincerely, and then got up and bowed to the paladin: "Thank you, sir." ”

"Don't rejoice too soon. Old Charlie, who was sitting in the rocking chair, poured a basin of cold water and said faintly: "The evil devil covets your soul, and will whisper in your ear, tempting you with great power, making you turn your back on your faith and fall into the abyss." It will peep into the world through your eyes, spread blasphemy through your mouth, kill innocents with your hands, take their souls, and finally devour your souls. ”

Jamie's face turned pale with fright, and he asked in fear, "So what should I do?"

"Follow the Lord's teachings, always maintain a devout faith, and complete self-redemption. Old Charlie said calmly: "The devil likes to pay attention to wizards with great talents, and they are also especially easy to be tempted by the devil, get lost in the great power, and become the real evil. The Lord's servants can redeem their souls, but in the process, evil wizards will inflict great harm on innocents, making the devil more powerful. In order to protect innocent believers, the paladins of the Inquisition can only purify evil wizards. ”

"However, the brothers and sisters of the Inquisition have always followed the teachings of our Lord and upheld the virtue of mercy. They are willing to help the wizard complete his self-redemption. Old Charlie was kind and seductive, and continued: "You, me, such a wizard with weak talent is not easy to attract the attention of the devil. As long as we maintain a firm faith and temper our hearts in the way given us by the Most High, we will be able to master the supernatural power of the back side of the Light, complete self-redemption, and redeem more wizards to protect the innocent lambs. ”

"My lord, what is the back of the light?" asked Jamie, confused.

Paladin Conlar asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Jamie's eyes lit up when he saw the shadow of the big owl on the wall, and he said, "Shadows! Witchcraft is the power of shadows. It is also a gift from the Most High Lord. ”

"You're smart. Old Charlie nodded appreciatively, shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are afraid of the power of shadows, and the clergy within the church cannot accept wizards, even if we are their brothers and heirs......"

Little Jamie sobbed bitterly when he remembered that his pastor's father had learned that his son was a wizard and was angry that he wanted to burn him with his own hands.

"Only the paladins of House Trigovar have comprehended the will of the Lord and embraced us with mercy. This is where the Black-robed Cathar and the Council of Shadows come from. The black-robed bishop said with emotion.

Conlar saluted the old man gracefully, turned to face the little wizard, and asked solemnly, "Jamie, are you willing to put on the black robe, join the Inquisition, and become the Lord's missionary in the shadows, fight against evil, and redeem the people?"

Little Jamie got down on one knee, his face full of determination, and said sonorously, "I do!"

"Get up. Conlar pulled the boy up, pressed his right hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You still need to exercise and study, and you must first be approved by Bishop Charles before you are qualified to become a black-robed priest of the Inquisition." ”

"I'll try, sir. Jamie said very seriously.

A young boy from a clerical family, still immature in mind, suddenly awakens to his talent as a wizard, so he is abandoned by his family, and his faith is on the verge of collapse. In his most difficult and confused moments, the bloody and cruel Inquisition came to his aid. The contrast of situations and strong emotional fluctuations can create traces that are difficult to erase psychologically. The black-robed bishop deliberately created an atmosphere from fear to hope, filling his heart with a sense of identity, mission and belonging, coupled with the guidance of the transcendent spirit of the high-level knight, even if Jamie reached the spiritual power of a level 6 mage in the future, it would be impossible to get rid of the mental control of the Trigovar family.

On top of that, his talent for witchcraft is so weak that he can't form a strong transcendent attraction. Such a shadow speaker poses no threat to the Trigovars.

Isn't Charlie a living example? He is nothing without our support!

Conral Trigoval thought to himself.

"I see you as if I saw my former self...... And my mentor. ”

The Shadow Speaker's eyes flickered red, and after a long pause, he smiled with relief, "According to the tradition of the black-robed priests, I should prepare a gift for you...... I'll transcribe a spiritual meditation for you. ”

The mountain ape, crouching on the floor, got up and walked to the closet, took out the quill, ink, and parchment letterhead from it, and knelt down on the board, and began to dictate the spiritual meditation of the black-robed cathar.

Little Jamie's eyes widened, he pointed to the mountain ape, and stammered, "Old ...... Teacher, it's ...... It's like a human being...... I can write!"

"Don't make a fuss. Old Charlie snorted, and the ape put down his quill, walked to the rocking chair, and lifted the blanket from the old man's body. Jamie covered his mouth violently, and to his horror, he found that the muscles of the old man's limbs had completely withered, and only skin and bones remained.

The mountain ape quickly covered the old man with a blanket and covered his shriveled limbs, turned back to the table, and continued to write. Old Charlie said lightly: "How can you not pay the price for fighting the evil devil?

Seeing the paladin's scrutinizing gaze, Jamie quickly put his hands behind his back and shook his head vigorously.

"You don't have to worry either. This mountain ape demon pet is equivalent to me, and it is much stronger and more agile than me...... In fact, we black-robed priests are able to project their souls into the body of a demon pet, as if they were controlling their own bodies. Old Charlie explained with a smile: "In the future, you can also have your own magic pet." ”

Jamie's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the big owl and asked, "Can I fly like an owl then?"

Conlar said, "Of course. The Bishop flew throughout the kingdom of men. Therefore, he has the title of Sky Surveyor. ”

"Kid, you're tired, go to bed. ”

As soon as Jamie wanted to explain that he was not tired, but when he touched the old man's fiery red eye sockets, he involuntarily walked to the small bed in the attic and fell asleep.

Conlar smiled slightly and said respectfully, "My lord, this time thanks to you luring the wizard Riebe to Davao City, we were able to capture him without causing him any major civilian casualties. ”

Old Charlie shook his head and sighed, "Burry has cultivated the improved Spiritual Meditation Method, and he has been able to block out the whispers of the devil. I didn't expect greed and ambition to make him lose his devotion to the Lord. Bury is undoubtedly an evil wizard in need of purification. ”

Bury was actually a very devout believer shaman, and every time he passed by Davorshen, he would go to church to pray and donate money. However, Father Bilka misled the black-robed bishop by saying that the Wizard of Bury had betrayed his faith in the Lord. The reason is that Condal needs divine grace to advance to the fourth level of paladin.

Condal, of course, would not explain the truth, he was silent for a moment, picked up the small wooden box on the floor, walked up to old Charlie, and said, "My lord, I have already brought what you wanted." ”

The mountain ape left the table, took the wooden box from the paladin's hand, opened it and looked at it, there was a recent academic bulletin from the Holy See, 15 white-gold paladin crystals and 8 blood-red sanity holy crystals. The mountain ape unfolded the letterhead and began to read the Holy See bulletin, while old Charles furrowed his sparse eyebrows and said, "There is nothing wrong with 15 holy warrior crystals, but the holy crystals of atonement are not enough!"

The Holy Crystal is a charged white crystal, which contains holy power. Clergy can extract the holy power in it to make up for their own shortcomings, or use the Holy Crystal to build a model of divine magic and cast additional divine magic. For example, if a Paladin carries a healing crystal, he will be able to perform the Priest's healing spell.

The value of the Holy Crystal cannot be measured in monetary terms, and the Church does not allow the Holy Crystal to circulate in the market. Bilka's gift of 100 Holy Crystals to Condal was a serious fraud. But Bilka is like the Emperor of Davao City, and the Cardinals of the Holy See have no control over him. If the Holy See wants to sanction Bilka, it will also have to go through the Inquisition.

If the Holy Crystal is a blank Divine Crystal, then the Holy Warrior Crystal is a natural Divine Crystal.

Before the holy warrior died, all the holy power, divine arts, and martial arts experience in his body were poured into the white crystal he carried with him to form the holy warrior crystal. The priest activates the Paladin Crystal to gain the Paladin's extraordinary power before the power is depleted. Such a priest is called a combat priest.

The Atonement Crystal is also known as the Blood Crystal. Compared to Holy Crystals and Divine Crystals, Atonement Crystals are particularly valuable.

During the Civil War of the Chosen One, the Council of Mages helped the original Pope construct all of the Divine Pool's divine models. The clergy of the Church can only extract divine magic according to the inherent model in the Holy Power Pool. The inherent divine magic could not meet the tactical needs of the clergy, and the priests of the monastery began to build a new model of divine magic, based on the legacy of the Council of Mages. But no one can change the Radiant Codex, and no one can add new magic to the Holy Power Pool. As a result, the monastery can only try to construct a new model of divine magic using the Holy Crystal.

However, the Mage Council has already developed a relatively complete system of divine arts according to the characteristics of the Holy Power. The priest could not come up with a new divine technique with holy power alone. However, the Atonement Crystal, which contains strong negative emotions, has allowed the monastery to break through beyond the holy power system and evolve a spiritual curse-like magic. For example, chaos techniques, weakness techniques, deterrence techniques, and so on.

While otherworldly beings with powerful minds are highly resistant to spiritual curses, in the heat of battle, the slightest influence is often the difference between life and death.

700 years ago, the Radiant Knights booby-trapped Emperor Rand using a blood crystal blessed with the Shock and Deterrence Technique, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. And that blood crystal was provided by the Holy Mountain Monastery.

In fact, almost all of the Spiritual Curse Divine Spells were invented by the Shadow Council wizards under the command of the Trigovar family. The Monastery of the Holy Mountain, as a minion of the Trigovar family, served as the pioneer of the new divine arts. Anyway, in the eyes of the clergy, the ancient Holy Mountain Monastery had nothing to do except study divine arts.

Charlie is a true genius wizard, he has taken the spiritual meditation method of the Mage Council to the next level, and his own magic power has reached the level of a level 6 mage. He single-handedly created several new spell models. The madness he had constructed even broke through the limitations of the single use of spiritual curses, allowing multiple targets in a small area to kill without distinguishing between friend and foe.

The Radiant Knights fought the Centaur Clan in the Northern Wilderness, and Old Charlie can be said to have contributed a lot.

Old Charlie's importance was undeniable, and the Trigovar family did their best to meet his requirements for spell resources. Conlar was in a quandary right now.

There is no shortage of paladin crystals in the Knights of Radiance, but the redemption crystals are mainly in the hands of the Cardinals, and the redemption crystals collected by the Eastern Alliance alone cannot satisfy Old Charlie at all. Conlar couldn't tell Old Charlie that the black-robed cathars, who had been inherited for more than 1,000 years, had no affiliation with the church, but were just the private army of the Trigovar family.

Conlar groaned, "My lord, the most vicious believers don't think they need to atone for their sins. Ordinary believers, who have committed sinful deeds, usually hide in their homes and ask the Most High for help. There are too few devout believers who are willing to confess their sins to the pastor and cleanse their bodies and minds...... We'll give you all the Blood Crystals you specify, but it will take time to collect them. ”

Old Charlie was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Human nature is like this, I don't blame you. Go down. ”

"As you wish, my lord. Conlar saluted respectfully and turned to leave the attic.

When the footsteps of the attic guard stopped outside the door, the red light in the eyes of the black-robed bishop gradually extinguished, and the mountain ape also closed his eyes, motionless, like a dead thing.

In the endless darkness, old Charlie regained his youthful appearance and strong body. He stepped on a black mist that seemed to be solid, and he recited on his knees: "Your Excellency, Lord of the Shadows, the Messenger prays for your answer. ”

After reciting it hundreds of times in a row, a little white light appeared in front of old Charlie, and the light expanded rapidly, and the illuminated black mist turned into a dark golden stone floor, and the smooth stone pillars stretched out to support the high dome. The floor and the dome converge in the same direction, forming walls and steps. Subsequently, carpets, tables and chairs, candlesticks, and frescoes appeared one by one.

Old Charles was in a majestic temple.

Sixth-level spells, the hall of dreams.

"I'm coming. ”

On the throne at the top of the stairs appeared the figure of a little boy, who looked down at the black-robed bishop condescendingly, and said with a chuckle, "Teacher Charlie, only the two of us in the entire Shadow Council can meet in the Dream Palace. It's really lonely. ”

Charlie bowed deeply and said with respect:

"The Courier has seen the Shadow Speaker. ”
