Chapter 70: The Paladin's Test

After the atmosphere was raised to a certain level, Link spoke again: "God the Father, everyone, this is the second miracle that the Father has given us, the Temple of the Holy Knights, it is the same as the Cathedral of the Holy Light, it is a thing that the Father God incarnates with divine power, but it does not belong to the public thing, but belongs to the core building of our Father God Cult, and only the Father God cult can approach it. After a pause, he opened his arms and said, "Not long ago, the great father discovered that the evil forces in this world had begun to move stupidly, so he gave the paladin hall, and after the pious and brave warriors passed the hall's assessment, they could master the purest power of light in the world, the power of holy light, and become a great paladin!"

When everyone heard this, many people who aspired to become powerful warriors showed expectant eyes, but more people were puzzled, they had not heard of the power of the Holy Light, but the power of light did know, but they did not know what the difference between the power of the Holy Light and the power of light was.

Link naturally saw it clearly, so he continued to speak: "Father God is above, the power of the Holy Light is the purest and most powerful power of light in the world, representing the most sacred brilliance, only the warriors who have mastered the power of the Holy Light are worthy of the title of Paladin, and the Holy Kages are the embodiment of justice and fairness, they may not be as powerful as the Saint Seiya, but they have auxiliary abilities that the Saint Seiya cannot match, they can fight, they can save people, they can purify evil, they can also teach people to be good, they are not afraid of hardships, but also pious and brave. If the Saint Seiya is the top combat power of my sect and the blade of my sect, then the paladin will become the backbone of my sect, the solid shield of my sect, and spread glory in the world for the Father. After a pause, when many people showed their longing and yearning, he continued, "The paladin of God the Father is the agent of the Light, the embodiment of wisdom, and the representative of justice, and only the pious, upright, brave, and wise can become a paladin. ”

Everyone listened to it, and they were still looking forward to it, but as soon as they heard that wisdom was needed, countless people were depressed, you must know that the education level of the Kingdom of the Stars is low, and there are not many educated people, at most they are just literate, and the need for wisdom is not to 'kill' them?

Faced with this situation, the newly joined Uther couldn't help but ask, "Archbishop, can only a wise person be a paladin?"

Link shook his head: "Having wisdom does not mean that you have to go up to astronomy and geography and lead the army under the Meiji country, but you have to be literate and know whether it is fair, otherwise, how can you understand the true meaning of the Holy Light, teach people to be good and spread glory?"

After everyone listened, many people's eyes lit up, maybe they didn't receive much education, but there are still a lot of literate people, as for understanding right and wrong, as long as they are not unsophisticated, how many can't tell the difference?

For a time, many people shook their hearts and tried.

This is what Link wanted, and he immediately said: "God the Father, anyone who wants to try to become a paladin, can just bring it up, don't be afraid of failure, God is merciful and magnanimous, even if you fail this time, there is another chance, as long as you think you can pass the test of the Holy Light and get the approval of the Holy Light, you can try it!"

As soon as everyone heard this, the mood that had been shaking and trying became hot again, and even many of the original Heavenly Spirit Sect members also had a thought, and women didn't let the girls with eyebrows be everywhere.

Soon, the first person to stand up was Uther, who was a man of some age, with a resolute and pious face, and a momentum that was not afraid of anything.

Under the leadership of Uther, other people who shook the sword also stood up and challenged, including the original Heavenly Spirit Sect, among all the people, only those saint seiyas did not move, because Link made it clear that the saint seiya is the top combat force of the Father God Sect and is a professional fighter, and the paladin is equivalent to a missionary, and the responsibilities of the two do not overlap, and the saint seiya is obviously more in line with the hearts of these children, don't you see that there are already two saint seiyas who have obtained the holy clothes? No matter how you look at it, they are more handsome than the paladins of unknown significance, right?

As a result, more than 60 people participated in the challenge, and the rest were either not interested, illiterate, or felt that their minds were not firm enough.

Link looked at the more than sixty challengers, and immediately said with a holy face: "Father, I am pleased with your bravery and determination, but the real assessment will be conducted by the Paladin's Palace, strengthen your will, suppress your emotions, and then, come with me!"

With that, Link turned and slowly ascended the steps of the paladin's hall, and the others followed, led by Uther and a few bold boys.

After walking the eighteen steps, Link came to the gate of the two statues 'guarded' and turned around and said to more than sixty challengers: "God the Father is above, brave warriors who aspire to become paladins, look up, these two are the embodiment of the faith of paladins, and they are the pursuit that paladins should have, take a good look, only the jīng gods who comprehend them are qualified to become paladins." ”

More than sixty people immediately looked at the statue according to the words, and in an instant, a gorgeous but not dazzling golden brilliance bloomed in the statue, full of divine aura, so that everyone could not help but be surprised and attracted by the brilliance.

Through this divine radiance, the more than 60 people who participated in the trial saw many things, justice, piety, integrity, glory, selflessness...... The truth, goodness and beauty in all kinds of people impact the hearts of all people, and also make them open the windows of their hearts and ask themselves whether they are in line with the virtues in them.

Gradually, one by one, they slowly retreated with a look of shame and piety, and finally fell on one knee at the foot of the steps of the temple and silently repented, all of them who did not pass the inner examination, to the astonishment and stunned of those who did not participate in the examination, and became more religious due to the influence of the examiners.

Of all the people here, Link is the only one who is not affected, and he cannot use the power of the Paladin's Temple, but in the eyes of others, Link, who is completely unaffected, is obviously the embodiment of perfection, a representative of virtue, and an interpreter of the truth, goodness and beauty of people, otherwise why would the Temple that has an impact on everyone have no effect on Link?

For a while, the congregation couldn't help but revere Link even more, and even the new members of the congregation admired and admired this perfect archbishop from the bottom of their hearts - no wonder God the Father chose the archbishop as his spokesman, such a perfect person is qualified to be the representative of the Father.

In the end, out of more than sixty challengers, only eighteen remained, and the rest all fell to their knees under the steps to repent and pray.

Link looked at the remaining eighteen people, nodded and said, "Father is above, you have passed the first test, below, come with me, there are still tests waiting for you." ”

Eighteen people have just experienced a spiritual baptism, which will all enter a pious and sacred state, as soon as they heard Link's words, they actually performed a knightly salute with a temperament, and then followed Link into the main hall with a heroic posture.

Inside the main hall, it is a more grand, sacred and solemn layout, but the left and right sides are full of round stone platforms, which seem to be used to place statues, but there are no statues on it.

Link knew that these preparatory paladins had doubts, so he explained with a smile: "God the Father, brave and pious warriors, do not doubt, these stone platforms are left to you by the noble Father, when you have accomplished immeasurable achievements or great deeds related to the rise and fall of the world, the Father God will create statues for you to symbolize glory and place them in the temple, and enjoy the worship and admiration of future generations." ”

After listening to this, the eyes suddenly lit up like a large light bulb of several hundred watts, and their breathing was much faster, and the father and god beasts built personal statues, enjoying the worship and admiration of posterity, no matter which thing made them excited, for them, it was definitely more exciting and exciting than any material praise, and it was worth their everything.

Link is very satisfied with this, a paladin with fighting spirit is a good paladin, and Wuyi Wuqiu is not called a paladin, but a robot.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Link added a fire and said, "I hope that in a hundred years, there will be many statues of you placed here, because, as the first batch of paladins, and the paladins I command, I don't want you to be worse than any of the next ones, I want you all to become legends - you, can?"

When the eighteen middle-aged, youthful, and juvenile preparatory paladins who were already enthusiastic heard this, they immediately responded loudly, and the sound echoed in the main hall, with a rather fearless momentum.

Link nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, maintain such momentum, however, the final test must continue, and only those who pass the test can become real paladins." ”

With that, Link turned and walked into the depths of the temple, and the group of pre-paladins immediately followed with mixed feelings of nervousness and excitement.

In a short time, they came to the end, and saw a huge stone tablet erected there, and at the top of the stone tablet was a golden symbol, a bit like the sun shining brightly, it seemed to be pure gold, but it was more dazzling than gold, which was the sign of holy light.

On the top of the stele is a large inscription, which is a commentary on the eight virtues and virtues of the paladin.

Humility, Honesty, Mercy, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Jīng God!

Eight virtues, eight complete sets of commentaries, all the precepts and qualities of the paladins are clearly explained, and a kind of preparatory paladin can't help but look into the gods.

The eighteen people kept their eyes on the inscription and did not take their eyes off it for even a second, as if they wanted to memorize its contents and engrave them into their souls, and they all had the same idea, that is, only those who comprehend and follow the eight virtues can become true paladins.

They didn't notice that at this moment, the Holy Light symbol on the top of the stone tablet shè shè out eighteen small golden beams of light, shining on the eighteen challengers one by one, this was the last step in the paladin's temple to screen the paladins - to test whether the soul and body were compatible with the power of the holy light, and to select the right person to bestow the power of the holy light and the paladin's martial arts and magic.
