Before the Church of Radiance left, Martin found Reilly alone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Did Mr. Reilly take that angel to St. Louis on purpose?" asked Martin bluntly.
"Ah, somebody has something to convey to the Shining Church. Reilly said with a smile. He deliberately let Michael appear in a high-profile manner, just to make the Radiant Church have some scruples, and the other party will not provoke him at will until he finds out the origin of this angel.
"I see. Martin nodded and didn't ask any further. Although he wanted to know the identity of the angel, he knew that the other party would definitely not say it.
"You didn't show up in St. Louis by accident, did you?" asked Reilly.
"Of course not. Martin shook his head and said, "Actually, I got the oracle and rushed over to wait for someone, and since Richard is here, then he is the one I have to wait for." ā
"Prophecy?" Reilly asked curiously.
"Yes. Martin said lightly.
"Nonsense. Reilly unceremoniously pierced his big words: "Even if it's something as trivial as what you will have for breakfast tomorrow, if you want to predict, it will inevitably involve rules, although the Lord of Radiance is the main god of powerful divine power, he himself is the embodiment of the rules of the plane, and it will only be more difficult to interfere with the operation of the rules, and even pay a greater price than ordinary legendary mages." You should know that the more powerful the characters involved in the prophecy spell and the more complex the events, the higher the difficulty. Richard's followers alone can invalidate the prophecies of most legendary mages, not to mention that I have a legendary-level archangel on my side. ā
Reilly didn't say that he inherited Asha's legacy, and he had the power to control his fate, let alone the Lord of Light, even the dragon of eternity and time could not predict his movements.
Martin spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "In fact, the oracle only told me that a very important person would come, and as for who this person was and what he was doing, he didn't say anything clearly. It wasn't until I saw Richard that I realized he was the one I was waiting for. ā
"Why Richard, and not me?" asked Reilly, looking at him playfully.
Martin sighed and said, "Because of fate." ā
Reilly looked at him deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Fate is like an infinitely wide and constantly flowing river, each of us is a fish living in this big river, and the fish in the water are naturally strong and weak, among which there are some special fish, occasionally you can jump out of the water and see a small section of the river in front of you, so as to know where we are likely to reach, and you are such a fish." ā
A fine bead of sweat gradually oozed from Martin's forehead, and he had to take out a square towel to wipe it.
"I just have a pair of eyes that can see part of my fate, and you ......"
"How am I?" asked Reilly, smiling.
"Your destiny...... It's not in this world at all. Martin said tremblingly.
"You're scared. ā
"Yes. Martin smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I know more than ordinary people that I'm more afraid of you." ā
Reilly sighed and said, "Actually, you can pretend you don't know anything. ā
"I couldn't convince myself to do that. Martin shook his head and said, "Since you are here, you will definitely have an impact on this world, and only by getting close to you and understanding you can we protect this world and make it develop for the better." ā
Reilly patted him on the shoulder and said, "You love the world, but it doesn't love you, or it doesn't favor you." To the world, a person and an ant are equivalent and dispensable. You've chosen an incredibly difficult path, and I can't give you any advice. ā
"At least I have a choice, don't I?" said this, a soft light appeared on Martin.
"You're ......" Reilly was stunned for a moment, then showed a pleasant expression: "What an admirable guy." ā
"To be honest, I didn't expect to make such a big change in such a short period of time. Martin smiled and said, "Before I met you, I was still thinking about how to sit in the position of pope, but now I ......."
"How's it going?" asked Reilly, curious.
"Now it seems that my feud with the Pope and with the Chinese language is not worth mentioning at all. Martin smiled bitterly and said: "Putting personal honor and disgrace into a group, it is nothing at all, putting personal success or failure into the long river of time, that is not even mud and sand, putting the Glorious Church into the whole world, it is just a speck of dust that is so small that it cannot be seen, when I stand in front of you, and then look back at what I once worked hard for, I only feel a little funny." ā
Reilly asked with interest, "Maybe we can imagine how people in three thousand years will evaluate Martin's actions, or simply forget about you?"
"What if you forget?" Martin said lightly, "I go straight for my faith, and I don't need to linger on the scenery on the way." ā
Reilly nodded and said, "Essentially, you and Richard are the same kind of people. ā
"Perhaps. Martin stood up from his chair and said, "By the way, those holy relics can be used to refine divine crystals, you know?"
"Yes, but I don't need a divine crystal. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Do you want it?"
"The more the merrier. Martin's eyes lit up and he said, "The crystallization of divinity is a good thing, and those fools in the church, how can they know the true value of these holy relics." ā
"So, can you send more relics?" asked Reilly.
"Of course. Martin nodded and said, "If you are more efficient at refining the crystallization of divinity than the church, then we have a basis for cooperation." Every once in a while, I will send a batch of holy relics over, and you refine them into divine crystals, and I am willing to pay for the extra part. ā
Reilly touched his chin and asked, "How many divine crystals can you make with your method?"
"That's about that. As he spoke, a milky white crystal appeared in Martin's hand, and there was a mist of energy circulating in it, which was the divine crystallization of both divine and radiant power, and the divinity contained in it was about ten units.
"I can help you refine the Divine Crystal. Reilly smiled and said, "In return, I hope you can use the channels of the church to help me find some materials." ā
"Good. ā
Martin shook hands with Reilly and the deal was struck.
