Fortunately, the Pope did not pull a longbow from the elven girl's chest this time, which made Constantine breathe a sigh of relief.

Six ancient books, plus a [Durandal], he has gained enough today, and if he has a handful of [Whispers of the Sky], he feels that he will probably die of exhaustion on the way back to the hotel today, and besides, he can't afford such a heavy reward.

Constantine knew this truth for a long time.

Silently glancing at the chest of the elven girl of the gargoyle, Constantine found that it could be because the heroic woman's breasts of the elven clan were not very big, so the Pope was not interested?

Ahem, I think it's crooked......

Constantine coughed a little twice to hide his dirty thoughts.

Who knew that the Pope's leisurely voice came from in front of him, "I don't have that Elven Holy Bow in my hand, but this stone statue feels good, you can touch Rultini's chest if you want to, anyway, she won't come alive and shoot you to death." ”

Constantine: "...."

After a little joke, Constantine moved his eyes to the next epic hero, an old man in a magician costume, and at first glance, Constantine knew the identity of the other party.

He had seen this stone statue many times, at the gate of the Royal Academy of Magic, and he heard that Joey was very fond of spitting on this old man back then.

He was St. Ingres, the former Great Sage of the Holy Empire, officially recognized by the Empire as the greatest magician of all time, whose contributions would have been enough for historians of magic to devote to dozens of tomes.

The remaining two epic heroes are characters that Constantine did not know at all, one is the alchemy master of the dwarf clan, Lorenz, it is said that during the Battle of Dawn, the legendary weapons in the hands of the powerful people of all races were forged by him, and most of them are now collected by the alchemy altar.

Lorenz's stone statue is a classic dwarven figure, carrying a huge metal hammer with inscriptions, wearing leather boots and battle armor, a slender beard hanging down to his chest, a gaze as cold and hard as steel under his thick forest-like hair, and his short stature seems to contain infinite strength.

The last is Prince Draenor of the Bloodline, the only hero from heretical races in history to be recognized by the Holy See.

The story of Prince Draenor is also legendary, according to legend, thousands of years ago, this romantic and amorous blood supreme fell in love with the holy daughter of the Church of Light, but the holy woman was cold to him because of his identity, and has always maintained the reserve of the priesthood, ignoring the love of the prince.

Despite knowing that there was little hope for this love, the prince continued to pursue his goddess for decades, and the dialogue between them became the inspiration for the classic plots of countless playwrights and bards in later generations.

During the War of Dawn, the Holy Maiden spontaneously combusted herself in order to protect the inhabitants of a small city during a battle with a foreign race.

Upon hearing the news, the angry Prince of Blood led the entire clan to form an alliance with the Church, becoming an ally in the dark night of the Church and one of the main forces against the aliens.

The first generation of the Inquisition's "night watchmen" came from this, and many historians have verified that the tradition of wearing red gloves by the inquisitors of the Church originated from Prince Draenor himself.

Ironically, after the disappearance of Prince Draenor in the Battle of Dawn, the honeymoon period between the two sides ended, and the Bloods and the Church once again turned against each other, and fought each other for more than a hundred years of brutal warfare.

The stone statue carved of the Prince of the Blood Clan is wrapped in a hood, and his face cannot be seen clearly, which is extremely mysterious.

Of all the stone statues, he was the only one with his back on his back, as if he did not want his appearance to be exposed to the light.

Six stone statues, six epic stories.

Constantine's gaze withdrew from the last stone statue and fell into deep thought.

He knew very well that the Pope gave him the ancient book of the Epic and the holy sword [Durandel], and took him to visit the Hall of Epic Heroes, this series of actions were faintly hinting at something.

The six stone statues in front of me are all closely related to a key word.

Battle of the Dawn.

The one a thousand years ago, a world-class battle that changed the entire landscape of the plane.

Constantine Hode looked up and stared at the Pope, "What does the death of my mother have to do with the Battle of the Dawn a thousand years ago, and what is that pendant you gave me?"

Hearing these two extremely sharp questions, the Pope's face remained unchanged, and he did not answer Constantine's question, but walked straight to the depths of the main hall.

There's a door there.

The door was small and narrow, about two meters high, nothing compared to the grand entrance to the Grand Temple of Radiance, and even the doors of the Hall of Cardinals and the Pope's Prayer Room were even more magnificent and ornate than this small door.

However, Constantine noticed that when he came to this door, the relaxed and leisurely expression on the Pope's face completely disappeared, and became extremely solemn and respectful.

"The Lord said unto us to go through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to destruction, and the way is great, and many enter in, and the gate is small, and few are found. ”

"The world thinks that the Temple of Radiance is the most important place in the church, but this is not accurate. ”

"The Temple of Radiance is just a container, and what it contains is the true foundation of the Church. ”

"After two years of study at the seminary, you have a preliminary understanding of the doctrine of the canon, what do you think is the greatest source of strength for the Church, or in other words, what is the meaning of the Church's existence?"

Constantine did not know why the Pope was asking himself such a question at this time, and he frowned, thinking of the texts he had read in the seminary years earlier, and of what he had seen and heard as he passed through the central square.

"The greatest source of wealth and strength for the Church of Light lies in the faith of the worldly people in the Lord of Light. ”

Constantine gave what he thought was the most pertinent answer, "All the power of the Church for two thousand years has been rooted in it, and apart from the world's thirst for faith, the Church has no meaning of existence." ”

"So, where does the belief in brilliance come from?" said the Pope softly, "Barbarians and orcs mostly believe in the invincible Titans of ancient mythology, the elves believe in the legendary goddess of nature who rules all things, the blood tribes believe in the gods of the underworld and the moon god who represent death and eternal life, and the Holy Spirit Court established by the Wu people who have lived in the west of the continent for generations uses the starry sky as a totem, and the object of their faith is an ethereal god, the legend says, that being in charge of fate and the starry sky, in the ancient scrolls of the Wu clan, it is called the [Wheel of Fortune]. ”

"Dragons seem to have no faith, but their superstition about their abilities is stronger than any other race, and this arrogance is essentially a special and deformed belief, and the same is true of the Dragonlance Dynasty today. ”

"Since there are so many powerful beings, if there is no superiority between them, have you ever wondered why the gods of each race are not the same, and why do human beings not worship other gods, but choose the light as our faith?"

The Pope asked. "What is so special about Radiance compared to other gods, and is it worthy of being worshiped and even sacrificed by countless human sages and ancestors?"
