Chapter 285: Refusal of the duties of the gods
There are people who truly cross the line between life and death and bring the dead back to life!
The words of Serena, the priestess of the goddess of ice and snow, not only were Edward and Alphonse dumbfounded, but even the priestess Elena was surprised and couldn't close her mouth!
The soul of the deceased is separated from the body and returned to the sea of souls, which means absolute death, in which case even the most powerful gods in the world cannot bring the dead back to life. The most basic principles expounded in the teachings that Priestess Elena learned from childhood are compared to those cults that have deceived the ignorant with slogans such as eternal life, immortality, and reincarnation, and the Holy See, which has believed in the only 'Lord' in the world and can be resurrected in the power of the Lord's God for eternal life. Priestess Elena also firmly believes that the doctrine of the Holy Capital bluntly states that the alternation of death and life is the correct criterion, otherwise, if all things can live forever, in the end, the whole world will become a sea of people who can no longer settle down!
But now the chief priest of the goddess of ice and snow has overturned Elena's faith, this is not the chief priest's nonsense, but the oracle of the chief priest through the mouth of the gods, which makes Elena feel confused for a while!
"There was indeed an outlier in this world who could break the boundaries between life and death, but it was not eternal and could not control its own life and death, and had disappeared from the world a long time ago, but it did exist!" Serena continued, but the crowd could not remain as calm as the Ice Goddess Priestess.
Moon Priestess Grant interrupted softly and asked, "Chief Priestess Serena, is this the will of Goddess Ejoma?"
Serena nodded silently and said, "This is indeed the oracle of my god to me, I am just conveying the oracle of the goddess to you." β
Hearing Serena say so surely, Moon Priest Grant had nothing to say, although as one of the three holy priests, Grant still knew very well that he was just a mortal after all, although he was favored by the gods, he could never go beyond the gods themselves, and even if the oracle said the most top-secret information in the holy capital, Grant had no right to stop him.
The priest refocused his gaze on the two Edward brothers and said, "Edward, Alphonse, you possess an alchemical ability that I have never seen before, and even the goddess Ejoma cannot fully analyze the system of using this power. You are as mortal as you once were!"
"May I ask you, what kind of mortal is like us?" Edward was interested in the unknown person that Serena spoke of, and perhaps someone who had come to this other world from another world like himself.
It's a pity that Serena shook her head and didn't seem to be able to reveal more information about this to Edward: "There are too many people in this world who covet you, so I only convey to you the kindness of Goddess Ajoma, who wants you to go to the Holy Capital and be protected by the Most High God. β
This time, Serena made an invitation to the two Edward brothers, but Serena, as the spokesperson of the gods, had made an oracle invitation, which was more formal than the verbal invitation of Grant the Priest of the Moon. And getting the protection of the supreme god is not just an empty word, with this talisman, the status of the two brothers in the holy capital may also be quite high.
But this qiΔ is not important to Edward, Xiaodouzi shook her head very directly and declined the invitation, the priestess Elena sighed regretfully, in Elena's opinion, the two children are still young, I am afraid they don't know what it means to be invited by the oracle of the goddess of ice and snow, thinking of this, Elena is still trying to persuade the two children, but seeing the moon priest Grant gesture to herself, Elena finally dispelled the idea.
"I'm sorry ~ Sister Serena, Al and I have our own intentions, and we also have a clue about how to restore our bodiesββ So please forgive us for not being able to accept your kindness. Edward said apologetically, Little Bean didn't dare to look at Serena's expression, afraid that the stern priest would use the 'petrified gaze' that would make him stressed!
Serena didn't say anything to Edward's rejection, but replied lightly: "Everyone has their own choice, and there is no need to apologize to me." β
Edward smiled and scratched his head, feeling a lot more for the beautiful priest, and it was clear that although Serena looked unsmiling and stern, she was a person who was very respectful of the wishes of others. As the spokesperson of the gods in the world, he does have an extraordinary mind and bearing.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and with the permission of Grant the Moon Priest, a Templar attendant entered.
"Priest Grant, there seems to be a lady named Miria outside the temple who has come to look for the two guests, Edward and Alphonse, and it seems that she has a very urgent matter. β
Edward swooped up from his chair, he had left a note saying that he was going to the temple to check information, although Miria often warned himself and his brother not to have too much to do with the temple, but he didn't really forcibly restrict his and Al's freedom, not to mention that this time Miria would come to arrest people in person. I'm afraid ββMiria is quite popular this time.
WaitββMaybe it's really urgent! Edward still thought about it with luck.
Now that the parents have come to the door, this meeting has to end here, the priestess Elena asked Tia to send the two brothers out, and the moon priest Grant was also curious to follow the two brothers out, and Grant also wanted to see if this lady Miria was also an alchemist like Edward and Alphonse.
Outside the door, Grant saw Ms. Miria, unlike the imagined elderly and knowledgeable scholars, this Miriya woman is very tall and beautiful, the gentleman is dressed in decent armor and the huge two-handed sword behind her makes her look heroic, Moon Priest Grant couldn't help but look at it twice, but she didn't see Miria's strength, in Grant's opinion, Ms. Miriya is not very weak, so bad that she can't feel half a point of power fluctuations, or she is very good at hiding her strengthγ
When Miria grabbed the two brothers into the carriage and thanked Priest Grant, Serena, the chief priest in the room, stared at Miria deadly, Serena couldn't help but hold her hand tightly but quickly let go, and it could be seen from her eyes that Serena seemed to be hesitating in her heart, and it was not until the carriage carrying the three of them left sight that Serena left the window.
Just now, Serena always felt that the female warrior named Miria seemed to have a trace of demonic aura belonging to the abyss, but it always felt like it was impossible to determine!
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the temple, in the prayer hall of the goddess of ice and snow, Serena, the chief priest in a white robe, was quietly kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess Ejoma and praying sincerely, a waist-length silver sprinkle fell to the ground, like the most holy saint in the world silently praying for a beautiful thing, this is a perfect picture, even the most talented painter can not descend to describe it on the scroll.
The door of the prayer hall was slowly pushed open, and Serena was still quietly praying for the slightest disturbance from being disturbed, and the visitor also stood quietly waiting for the priest to finish his business.
After the prayer, Serena stood up and looked up at the statue of the goddess and made a final rite: "I know you are confused, Priestess Elena. β
"Yes, Lord Priest, I am indeed very confused!"
Elena did not defend but said her true thoughts very plainly, the doctrine of the Holy Capital allows dissent, and no one needs to deliberately hide the true thoughts in their hearts, as long as it is not a malicious blasphemy, a question can be raised and discussed: "The alternation of life and death is the norm of this world, and the ethereal word eternity only appears in the teachings of the five supreme gods to describe death, and even the supreme gods are unwilling to use this word to decorate themselves!" Because of this, I have always believed that the teachings of the Holy Capital are the most correct!But at this moment, there is a person who can break the eternity, so whyββ"
"Why doesn't the Doctrine want to reveal this news!" the priestess of the Ice and Snow Goddess looked at Elena and sighed, the priestess walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and comforted the priestess in a calm tone: "You are right, Chief Priestess Elena, the alternation of life and death is the most basic principle of this world, once the boundary between life and death is broken, it will bring unimaginable disasters to the whole world. β
"That's why the gods don't allow this to happen, right?" said Elena with a sigh.
"The relationship between the gods and mortals is one of mutual need and dependence, not domination and domination, nor giving and being giving. The faith of mortals is the foundation of the existence of the gods, and in return, the gods should strive to move the whole world forward! And those evil gods who do not hesitate to fabricate lies and use force to destroy unbelievers for the sake of their own rights, intending to rest on their laurels and freeze the whole world and no longer move forward, have disappeared in the river of time. Serena raised her head and stared at the statue of the goddess, and her tone was rare with a hint of excitement: "It is the duty of the gods to maintain the normal order of the whole world, and any existence that tries to destroy this order and bring disaster to the whole world must be the object of destruction, and it is precisely because of this that the power that breaks the boundary between life and death and brings the dead back to life cannot allow it to continue to exist." β
"ββββ" Elena was speechless and silently stared at the chief priest without saying a word.
"Can you understand the distress of the five supreme gods? Priestess Elena, the gods do not want to deceive anyone, but in order for the whole world to continue to develop, the gods also need to perform some necessary evil deeds!"
