Chapter 52: Marriage?
The first day of gambling Sai Link spent it in a cranky thought, today is a gambling fight of some small churches, there is nothing to look at, all the first-order powerhouses are fighting there, even Arya feels weak, let alone talking about others.
However, after seeing the strength of these churches, Arya, Sachar and Aiolos were inspired, they didn't have much confidence in themselves, but when they saw that those small churches with a long history were so weak, they had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the Father's Church and themselves, and they were suddenly full of confidence, and they were not so nervous about the upcoming gambling battle.
Link saw it in his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
After returning to the Heavenly Spirit Sect that night, Link was ready to rest early, but Lingfeng asked him to come to the chapel to discuss all important matters.
After Link walked into the chapel, he found that in addition to Lingfeng, the two elders of Lingshui and Lingmu were also there, and Link asked suspiciously, "Three elders, I don't know what is the matter with me?"
The eldest of the three, Reika, said, "Archbishop Neil, we invited you here to know your attitude towards Reimu. ”
"Attitude towards Reimu?" Link was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask?"
Lingfeng stared into Link's eyes, and after a while, she said, "Archbishop Neil, you are a smart person, in a while, all the members of the Heavenly Spirit Sect will join the Father God Sect, and the Heavenly Spirit Sect will cease to exist, don't you still understand what we mean?"
Link narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and then said in a calm tone, "Do you want to use marriage to ensure the treatment of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?"
Lingfeng nodded: "Yes, we have heard that you have abolished the prohibition rules common to other religions, and Reimu, as the Archbishop of Heavenly Spirit, is worthy of you in terms of status, so, we hope that you can form a relationship with Reimeng." Speaking of this, she sighed gloomily and said, "Archbishop Neil, please understand our suffering, the Father God Sect all believe in Father God Link, but the Heavenly Spirit Sect is different from the ordinary Father God Sect, the previous experience makes it difficult for them to change their faith, and it is difficult for them to get good treatment under the premise of not believing in the Father God, so we will make this decision." ”
Link glanced at Lingfeng and asked instead of answering, "Three Elders, I understand your thoughts, but is this fair to Lingmeng?"
"Archbishop Neil, is there fairness in this world?" Reifeng recounted the cruel reality in a flat tone, "Reimu, as the High Priestess of the Heavenly Spirit, her life has long been doomed, and she will not object to this matter. Speaking of this, her face showed a hint of gloom, "Archbishop Neil, maybe you don't believe it, for us, Reimu is not a tool, but our child, she is what we watched grow up, we are equivalent to her mother, what mother in this world would not care about her child? But we can't help it, while we are mothers, we are also the ruling elders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and we are burdened with the responsibility of protecting all the congregants, so we must ensure that the future of the congregants can be guaranteed after we leave." ”
"What do you mean when you're gone?" said Link's eyebrows furrowed.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't want to serve you, but we have another mission. With that, Lingfeng nodded to Lingmu, who understood and took out the scrapped Prophet's Eye.
Seeing the Prophet's Eye, Link couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't this the Prophet's Eye? What's going on? Why is there an extra dark shadow inside?"
Lingfeng said slowly, "It's true, in the eyes of the prophets, there is a terrifying dark demon sealed, the seal is loosened every fifty years, and the Heavenly Spirit High Priests of the past generations will use their lives and souls to strengthen the seal when the seal is loosened. However, now that the power of the Prophet's Eye is gone, the seal is useless, and we will fulfill the mission of the Heavenly Spirit Elders to create a new seal at the cost of life and soul to prevent the dark demon from breaking the seal. Speaking of this, she sighed gloomily, "Archbishop Neil, when the Pantheon celebration is over, we will go to the Spirit Mountain outside Bath City to sacrifice our lives, please rest assured, we have already left the rest to Priest Sanny, and she and Reimu will help you unify the Heavenly Spirit Cult." ”
After hearing these words, Link's first feeling was bloody, and the second feeling was vulgar, such a bloody and vulgar plot could actually let him encounter, what should he say? If it was before the crossing, he would definitely complain without hesitation, but when he saw the calm faces of the three elders, but the look of melancholy and nostalgia between his eyebrows, he couldn't speak.
After a while, Link frowned and said: "That dark demon is so powerful? It actually requires you to sacrifice yourself to seal, if that guy is really a monster that will harm the world, just announce it and let those masters deal with it soon? It just so happens that there are a lot of masters from several major religions during the Pantheon's Day, so let them take action." ”
Lingfeng sighed and said: "It would be nice if it was really that simple, according to ancient records, this dark demon has a combat power comparable to that of a saint, even if it has just broken the seal and is weak, it can also exert the combat power of the seventh or eighth order, Archbishop Neil, do you think there is anyone here who can stop that demon?"
Link gasped when he heard this, the seventh- and eighth-order combat power, it really can't be dealt with by the sea of people tactics, because the strong people above the seventh order have the skills to release coercion, and as soon as the coercion of the seventh-order powerhouse comes out, all the people below the sixth order have to lie down, and the strength of the sixth-order powerhouse will be greatly reduced, and if it is the eighth-order, then the sixth-order powerhouse will also lie down.
This is similar to the situation in YY's novel in which the tiger's body is shaken, and the enemies all kneel down after Wang Ba's qi is released, and wherever the coercion goes, people who are weaker than themselves will be affected.
Although Link has not seen the masters of those big churches make a move, Count Lothar has long said that there are no powerhouses above the seventh order in the Red Moon Province, and the strongest is only in the early stage of the sixth order, and he is the black-clothed archbishop of the Bright Moon God Sect, the first religion in the Red Moon Province, and he did not come to participate in the festival.
Thinking of this, Link couldn't help frowning and said, "Since this kind of monster is sealed in the Prophet's Eye, then why didn't you tell me in advance? ”
The Third Elder smiled bitterly when he heard this, and Ling Feng shook his head and said, "We didn't expect that you would absorb the power inside as soon as you picked up the Prophet's Eye, originally we just wanted to see if you could pick up the Prophet's Eye." After a pause, when Link showed a hint of embarrassment, she added, "Archbishop Neil, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter has been predicted for a long time, and the Heavenly Spirit Sect has foreseen this day at the beginning of its establishment, so the Heavenly Spirit Sect has had three elders in the past generations. ”
After hearing the silence for a long time, Link asked with some reluctance, "Since this demon is still sealed, why not use the power of other churches to strengthen the seal, why do you have to sacrifice yourself?"
Lingfeng didn't answer and asked: "Archbishop Neil, people's hearts are unpredictable, do you think that after the people of other churches know about this, will there be some people who think that the dark demon is still sealed, and maybe they can snatch it for their own use?"
Link was dumbfounded, he had crossed over from the world of things, how could he not know how terrible people's greed was? Not to mention that he didn't know how terrible the dark demon was, even if he knew, as long as the dark demon was still sealed, then there would definitely be people who wanted to snatch the seal.
Counting on those unpredictable guys to help the Heavenly Spirit Sect for the so-called great righteousness, it is better to expect the True God System to give him an artifact that can kill the dark demon in an instant.
Wait, the True God System? By the way, the True God System is still being upgraded, will it lose some good things after the upgrade? Even if you can't kill that dark demon in seconds, there should be good things to help the three elders complete the seal, right? What if the system opens up and directly gives him this kind of good thing?
Thinking of this, Link hurriedly asked, "Three Elders, how long will it take for the Dark Demon to break through the seal of the Prophet's Eye?"
Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, "It probably lasts for ten days." ”
Link's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately showed a divine smile and said: "Father God is above, three elders, you don't have to sacrifice lightly, the noble Father God will not watch a noble person like you die easily, perhaps, in a few days, Father God will send down divine grace to help you seal the demon." ”
"Father?" the three elders were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and then Lingfeng frowned and said, "Archbishop Neil, you mean that the true God will help us?"
"Again, it's not the true God, it's the sublime Father God Link, please make no mistake about it. Link emphasized one sentence before replying, "God the Father is merciful, even if you are not His followers, He will not easily watch you die." After a pause, he added, "Three elders, if you can trust me, just wait for four days, perhaps, there will be a turnaround after four days, didn't you say? There are still ten days before the dark demon breaks the seal, we still have enough time, we should be able to wait for four days, right?"
"This ......" Lingfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding, "If it's only four days, we can wait." She didn't mention whether the Father would appear or not, showing her trust in Link.
Link smiled and said, "Don't worry, three, although I can't guarantee that Father will make a move, I will try my best to help you pray to Father." ”
The three elders smiled and thanked each other.
After that, Link said, "By the way, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the congregation, although they don't believe in the Father now, I believe that when they see the Father's divine grace, they will become faithful followers of the Father sooner or later." Therefore, you don't have to sacrifice Reimu for their future, so let's stop the marriage. ”
Link thought that the three elders would decisively agree to say this, but then the three of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully, and Lingfeng said, "Archbishop Neil, we still hope that you can agree to the marriage. ”
"Uh, why?" Link frowned incomprehensibly.
"Because as an elder, I care about the future happiness of my children. Lingfeng said slowly, "We let Reimu marry you, not only to make Reimu sacrificed, but also for Reimu's happiness and the wishes of the Heavenly Spirit High Priests of the past generations. The Heavenly Spirit High Priests of the past generations had a wish, that is, to be able to fall in love, get married, and have children like a normal girl, but it could not be realized until the death of the mission. Until the Reimu generation, the mission of the Heavenly Spirit High Priest is over, and Reimu is gone, so we hope that she can be happy and complete the mission of the Heavenly Spirit High Priest for generations. After a pause, she stared at Link and said with a smile, "According to our observations, Archbishop Neil, you are very tolerant of Reimu and have no prejudices against Reimu, so we feel that it is very appropriate for you to give Reimu happiness, after all, everyone knows Reimu's xìng grid, and we really can't think of anyone other than you who can stand her xìngzi." ”
