Chapter 11: Summoning the Holy Spirit
It is difficult to explain the things of life, the trough, the peak, and the replacement may be in an instant.
Qin Shaofu had never felt this sentence so deeply, in just a few days, he went from a handyman who was swept away by the Knight Association to a lord knight, and the baptist was still Pope Nicholas.
Just as the future of a knight is very much related to the loyalty, the future of a knight is inseparable from the baptist. Even if he is useless in the future, just because the baptister is Pope Nicholas, he will be able to mix and thrive everywhere.
Another thing is even more outrageous, the opportunity for the angelic Holy Spirit to come down, he got it under the words of Pope Nicholas.
There is God in this world, and no one doubts it. Not because of the legends, but because there are many miracles that really exist, such as the coming of the angels and the Holy Spirit.
The God of Light sends down an oracle, and at a certain time and place, there will be angels and Holy Spirits descending on a suitable carrier. Those carriers will have the ability to communicate with the possessed angels, obtain their power seeds, and continuously improve that power through cultivation.
All those who are chosen by the angels and the Holy Spirit will become the objects of the Holy See's full cultivation, and as long as they can live and grow, each of them will become famous figures in the world.
This is the most convincing thing of the Holy See to the world, where there are real angels, there is naturally a real God.
Standing in front of the mountain pass, looking at the busy monks in front of him, Qin Shaofu always felt a little unreal.
Mount Moriah is a sacred mountain of the Cult of the Illuminati and is essentially a volcano. There have been several eruptions in history, but because of the protection of the power of the God of Light, it has not caused any damage to the Holy Capital and the Imperial Capital.
Its interior is a flat land formed by cooling volcanic ash, which is a forbidden place for the Holy See, full of the power of light, and a place for the pope to communicate with the god of light. Even the King of the Empire was not allowed to enter unless special ceremonies and the Pope allowed it.
This is also the place where the angel and the Holy Spirit descend, and Qin Shaofu was standing at the entrance at this time, and he was about to start the ceremony.
He was not the only one at the entrance, there were many people, all Western men, or dressed in aristocratic costumes or exquisite armor, all of them with a personable and majestic atmosphere.
Among them, there was a blonde man who stood out, not very handsome, but with a noble aura that no one else had. Wearing golden armor, even if he stood among so many nobles, he looked even more extraordinary, attracting Qin Shaofu's attention.
"That man is the prince of the Empire, Alex. ”
The voice of the Magnolia Holy Maiden came, and then I watched her step by step, and walked over gracefully.
Her appearance also instantly attracted everyone's attention. With a graceful figure and beautiful eyes, even a veil can't stop her charm. At this moment, those Western aristocrats forgot the pride of Westerners, and their eyes became hot when they looked at her.
It's just that after seeing that she walked towards Qin Shaofu, her eyes became disdainful again.
Those bishops and knights could not hesitate to raise objections to Pope Nicholas for the matter of Qin Shaofu becoming a knight, not to mention the quota of the angels and holy spirits. The same is true of these nobles, and even better, who are not satisfied that an Oriental can get a quota.
Even if everyone thinks that it is impossible for him to be favored by the angels, he is still not angry, after all, the young people who can enter here, even if they are not chosen by the angels and the Holy Spirit, can be vigorously cultivated by the Holy See in the future.
And such an opportunity, placed on a mixed-race Oriental, is an absolute waste...... Almost everyone thinks so.
"I've seen the Holy Maiden!"
Qin Shaofu saluted.
"No need to be polite!" the Magnolia Holy Maiden smiled and said softly: "My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Yuyao." Although this name is rarely used on weekdays, you are my guardian knight and should know it. ”
Qin Shaofu nodded, and said busily: "My name is Qin Shaofu......"
"I already knew!" Bai Yuyao smiled: "When we get along in the future, you don't have to be so restrained." Also, I've had people check you out in the past two days, and I hope you don't mind. I don't doubt you, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to you becoming my guardian knight...... In that case, you can still stand up to protect me, which is enough to say a lot...... I just wanted to get to know you a little bit better. ”
"Understood!" Qin Shaofu was not disgusted.
"Very interesting!" Bai Yuyao said: "I thought you would be a disciple of a martial artist, but I didn't expect your master to be a priest." ”
"Are you talking about Victor?" Qin Shaofu asked, "My sword technique is indeed taught by him, but he is not a master to me, but a father. ”
"Understood!" Bai Yuyao nodded: "But I'm curious, you are bent on becoming a knight, and you should be influenced by the priest." Although he travels a lot, he should know about it and acquiesce in your actions, but ...... Why didn't he baptize you?"
Qin Shaofu was stunned: "This ......"
He really didn't think about it, a very puzzling question. He wanted to become a knight, and Victor acquiesced. It is impossible for a person not to be a knight without being baptized, and it is impossible for Victor not to know.
With Victor's relationship with himself, how could he not baptize himself? If he had been baptized, he would not have been so embarrassed by Archbishop Roncali that day. If it weren't for Pope Nicholas standing up, even if he had enough merit, he would not have been able to become a knight himself.
Is it because I am an Oriental......
No way...... Qin Shaofu did not hesitate to reject this idea, Victor has no children, treat him as his own, never like this.
It was in the midst of confusion that I suddenly heard someone shouting in front of me: "Candidates for the carrier of the Holy Spirit, you can come in." ”
"Let's go!"
Prince Alex, who was wearing golden armor, shouted, nodded and smiled at Qin Shaofu who looked over, and was embraced by others, walking towards the entrance like a group of stars and moons.
It must be said that this prince has an extremely sunny temperament, at least in terms of the first side, it is difficult to make people disgusted.
Qin Shaofu didn't stay long, and bowed to Bai Yuyao: "Holy Maiden, I'll go in first." ”
"May the God of Light bless!"
Bai Yuyao clasped her hands on her chest and prayed for divine help.
Qin Shaofu walked to the entrance and was about to enter, when he suddenly heard someone yelling from behind: "Get out, bastard!"
Before the words fell, a man wearing gold, silver, and purple armor, wrapped in battle qi, suddenly accelerated, and crashed into it like a chariot. Before Qin Shaofu could react, he was directly knocked into the air by that person, and fell into it like a kite with a broken string.
Bastard...... Furious in his heart, as soon as Qin Shaofu stood up, he saw that the figure was already standing in front of him.
It was a young man with silver hair, his face was cold, and his silver pupils were like ice blades, exuding a terrifying chill. was stared at by him, and it felt like the whole person was in an ice cellar.
Not only temperament, but also because of strength, this person is about the same age as himself, judging from his breath, he is already a fifth-grade Xuan-rank, extremely extraordinary, you must know that normal martial artists are almost in their thirties if they want to achieve this strength.
"You're that Oriental bastard!"
The person who came spoke unceremoniously, rudely and directly humiliating. It made Qin Shaofu angry in his heart, but he could only clench his fists and do nothing.
After so many years, he doesn't know how many people have ridiculed him, and he has never said anything, because he clearly knows that he has no strength and wants to forcibly regain his dignity, which will only make things more embarrassing in the end.
"It's Mentro, the third son of the Ferguson family!"
Someone recognized this person's identity and chuckled: "As a descendant of the top nobles in the imperial capital, I have always been arrogant, and I don't like to live with untouchables the most. A guy with oriental blood, he has suffered hardships. ”
Taking a deep breath and soothing a little, Qin Shaofu stood up, turned around, and walked to the side.
But Mentro didn't mean to let him go, and wanted to chase after him.
"Mentro!"
Someone shouted, "Come here, I have something to look for you." ”
Looking for the voice, the person who shouted was the blonde prince Alex. Although he was born in the top family of the imperial capital, the prince shouted, and Mentro couldn't refuse, so he could only look at Qin Shaofu's back and snort, and walked straight away.
The emotions in his heart had calmed down, Qin Shaofu walked to the side, stood against the mountain wall, and then began to look inside.
It is supposed to be only a part of the pass of Mount Moriah, like a circular stone temple with a diameter of more than 100 meters. In the middle is a five-tiered stone platform, like an altar.
Near the perimeter of the mountain wall, there were one platform after another, cast from an unknown metal, milky white, completely different from silver. A glance swept over, and the heart calculated, there are forty-five in total.
Just like the number of candidates, I am afraid that each person will stand on a platform and be selected by the so-called Holy Spirit who cannot see it.
Forty-five candidates came in one by one, all young men. The carrier of the angels and the Holy Spirit will be the top combat power of the Holy See, and the younger they are, the longer they can play a role.
The monks around began to leave, and when the last one walked out, the entire mountain pass suddenly went dark, and a strange force appeared at the door, blocking all the light.
Everyone was shocked, and when they couldn't figure out why, the five-story stone platform in the middle suddenly released a large amount of light. It's not dazzling, just swims around the stone platform like a milky white liquid.
This is a forbidden place, even Prince Alex has never been here, I don't know what happened, just as I was about to get closer to take a look, I suddenly saw a figure appear on the stone platform.
The figure was wearing a big black robe, and it was visible that the red lining was not the Hadros who made people feel maverick.
Obviously, this is a man who makes everyone in the know jealous, even the one who stood aside with his head bowed.
Hadros was holding a staff in his hand, which was the staff of the Holy Spirit held by Pope Nicholas, and at this time, it could be seen that a mysterious force was floating in the entire mountain pass, which was pulled by this staff.
Legend has it that this is a staff given by the power of the god of light to pass through the plane, and the wielder can use it to sense the gods of another plane.
Waving the Staff of the Holy Spirit, Hadros said loudly, "One platform per person, stand fast!"
Many knights and nobles didn't dare to say much, and they all stood on the platform near them at great speed. Qin Shaofu was not in a hurry, he waited for everyone to stand up, and then he stood on the last empty platform.
By the time everyone had stood up, Hadros had lost his usual smile and became extremely serious.
Raise the staff of the Holy Spirit with one hand, and draw strange symbols in the void with the other. The symbols slowly rose and joined together, like a pious prayer book, and people did not dare to breathe out when they saw it.
It took half an hour to write before Hadros stopped. At this time, the stone walls inside the entire mountain pass were already covered with those strange symbols, as if they had merged into one.
Goodbye he howled loudly, chanting a spell that no one could understand, and finally pointed the Holy Spirit Staff in his hand into the void.
But seeing the white light shining, the Holy Spirit Staff turned into a holy light and rushed into the sky, and then it seemed to open the door of heaven, and a large white holy light poured down like a feather, as if the voice of heaven could be heard, which was extraordinary.
"Lord, your people are listening!"
Hadros shouted, and the holy light of the entire valley seemed to be alarmed by his voice, and all of them condensed towards the top of the stone platform, and in an instant, it turned into a seraphim.
This is not an angel deity, but an energy form, and it is a special angelic form.
Different from the ordinary white feathered winged angel, the wings of this angel are sharp, like a sharp sword, and the battle spirit is turbulent.
For a moment, everyone held their breath and their eyes became hot.
The Eighth Angel, the Battle Angel Urathu, in the form of a Seraph.
