Chapter 108: Great Prophecy (4)

"All the time. I don't want you to be exposed to God's prophecies, and many times, I want you to be able to live your life in peace as an ordinary person. Master Eber faced Red and said, "So, I basically don't care about your business. ”

When Red heard this, his face turned red, indeed, Master Eber basically didn't care much about him, the only student, this is also that Red is not outstanding in terms of strength or position in the Church of Light, Red used to think that Master Eber didn't appreciate him very much, so sometimes he even gave up a little bit, such as alcoholism and so on.

"I am glad that although you have a little problem in your personality and life, you have been able to maintain your faith in the gods of light, and you have never lost your way for more than 20 years. Master Iber smiled and said, "It seems that I did something wrong, and I want to apologize to you." ”

"Ah, teacher, this ......" For the first time in Red's life, he heard the always majestic Master Ibel say such words, and suddenly became incoherent, and Ryan and Alendor looked at each other, and a bad thought suddenly appeared in their hearts.

"Regarding the Great Prophecy, it can be said that this is the most powerful force of order on this continent. Originally, this magic was given to him by the God of Light as the only agent on this continent, that is, the Pope. However, due to the rise of human power itself, the title of Pope gradually disappeared, and the Great Prophecy did not continue to be passed on. ”

"200 years ago, humanity suffered the most powerful crisis in history, and tens of millions of undead swept across the continent, and it was a terrible catastrophe. And the human hero Fernando I and others finally defeated the army of the dead by relying on the power of the gods of light, whether it is the god of war believer Holy Knight Fernando or the god of wisdom believer ** Master Meren, without exception borrowed the power of the gods. When that catastrophe was over, Archbishop Nebiro, well, at that time he was nothing more than an ordinary priest. Archbishop Nebiro traveled all over the continent and spread God's blessings to every land, perhaps at that time, this Archbishop of Nebiro actually received the Pope's inheritance and possessed the power that can change the laws of this world, which is one of the most fundamental powers. ”

"One?" Ryan keenly sensed the flaw in Ibel's words, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course, Ryan. Iber gasped slightly, and continued: "There are two kinds of power of the source, one is the power of order, the essence of this power is to formulate laws, and everything will operate under this law, even if the supreme God of Light comes to our plane, I mean hypothesis, then he must abide by the laws of this plane, even if this law is made by himself. The other force is chaos, or the power of destruction, which is essentially to destroy everything. ”

"Okay, let's get back to the previous topic. Iber's tone seemed to be much weaker, and his voice slowed down a lot: "No matter what kind of power it is, it is not something that mortals of our plane can use at will, if someone really masters either of these two powers, then he will break away from the category of ordinary people and approach the power of God step by step." It's like when we're climbing a mountain, at the bottom of the mountain, we can only see what is in front of us, but when we stand at the top of the mountain, we have a clear view of everything around us. And this process of climbing the mountain is a process of gradual growth of strength. ”

Ryan listened to Ibel's words, his heart was full of questions, and he couldn't help but ask: "The process of climbing the mountain is the process of improving strength? So how can we know where to climb is the right path? How do we know what level of strength we have reached now, and how far we are from the top of the mountain?"

"Hehe, that's why a good teacher will do more with less, and a teacher who is standing halfway up the mountain will of course tell you how to climb to get to his position faster. As for strength, it's hard to define a standard, just like you, Lane himself, if you are just a magic apprentice according to the rating of the Magic Guild, but are you really just a magic apprentice?"

Looking at Ryan's embarrassed appearance, Eber smiled and said: "I remember you yourself once said that being low-key is not swallowing your anger, but constantly improving your strength and always letting others underestimate you." That's a good thing to say, that's the right attitude. Ryan, Elendo, and Red, you must keep in mind that the improvement of strength never ends! The process of climbing the mountain is boring, lonely, and even painful, but as long as you keep going, after arduous training and severe tests, you will slowly understand the essence of strength and control skills, and at that time, you will leave the ranks of ordinary people, step into the realm of gods, and become a legend. ”

"Once you are able to reach that level, you will naturally have a different understanding of power, and thus you will be able to master many legendary abilities. Of course, reaching this step is not the end of the journey, as a legend, your strength will still accumulate over time, slowly improve, and gradually get closer to the strength of the gods. Perhaps, even if you reach the realm of gods, you can still continue to improve, at least as far as I know, even if it is the gods of light, there are differences between the main god, the servant god, the god servant, the divine messenger, and so on. ”

"What I just said is to improve your strength through normal means, without exception, these things take time, you need to go through the test of life and death, you need to understand. And there are many ways to quickly gain great power, such as me, Archbishop Ibel. ”

"My strength does not come from my own ascension, but from a brief period of time given to me by the God of Light after devoutly believing in my Lord God, the Supreme God of Light. It is undeniable that this method will allow an ordinary person to have overwhelming power in a short period of time, but my body is not able to adapt to that power, so after using that power, it will cause irreparable damage to my body, and my current appearance is the best example. ”

"That's why I didn't want you to get involved in the Church of Light. When Eber said this, he smiled at Red, and the latter's eyes were moist all of a sudden, and Red wiped his eyes with one hand and whimpered, "I'm sorry, teacher, I've been misunderstanding you." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Red. Eber shook his head and said, "Not everyone can inherit that kind of power, so in the past 200 years, the first thing every archbishop has done after being promoted is to find the next heir. ”

"I see, teacher. At this point, Red already understood the purpose of Iber's words today, and he said firmly, "Teacher, please command." ”

"As I said earlier, there is a teacher who can make you climb faster to the position he once reached, and the power of order is unimaginable to people in our plane, and it is absolutely impossible to comprehend it by their own efforts alone, which requires a medium, a medium that allows you to understand what the power of order is. ”

"In Praise of the Light?" Red whispered.

"Yes!" said Iber, exclaiming, "There is no difference in content between the book of Praise of Light that has been circulated in the world and the one that is placed in the worship hall, and you can already memorize it in reverse at an early age. And the one that Archbishop Nebiro once used has its own unique power, because in that book, there are traces of God touching and blessing!"

"The Book of God?"

"Yes, there is the power of order that God has placed in that book, and as long as you can open it, you can slowly figure it out and comprehend it until you can use it freely. Although this secret is known only to the archbishop of each term, it is not impossible for others to guess it, and I guess Henry also guessed this, so he had the courage to do so many things while I was seriously ill. ”

"Red, in my capacity as the seventeenth archbishop of the Church of Light, I have appointed you as the eighteenth archbishop. Now, put your hand on my forehead and let me show you how to turn on that power!"

"No!" Red stood up suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Teacher, you can't do this, your body will slowly get better, let's wait until later!"

"I'm running out of time, kid. Ibel's tone became quite low: "If you want the entire Church of Light to break the lineage, if you want Henry to bring the entire Church of Light and the entire human race into the abyss, just leave!"

"But ......"

Iber's eyes closed, his tone so weak that he had to listen intently to hear: "It's okay, this is a heavy burden for you, just let it disappear from me forever......"

When Red heard Ibel's words, his whole body began to tremble, and he stretched out his right hand, little by little, and put it on Ibel's forehead. A holy white light burst out from Iber's face, enveloping Red's whole body, the white light became more and more intense, and Ryan and Alendor, who were sitting on the side, could no longer see the situation inside the white light.

"The God of Light created the world, and everything has its own laws of existence. God created everything, and he mastered the law" Iber's voice suddenly sounded in the room, this voice became louder and louder, and soon echoed throughout the room, and a warmth suddenly appeared in the hearts of Ryan and Elendo, as if they were in a sunny spring breeze, indescribably refreshing.

"And God said, Dust to dust, dust to dust!"
