Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Old Priest
The lowest clergy of the Church of the Fathers of All Gods, called aco-priests, are young believers who have just been absorbed into the church to do some auxiliary work and learn basic healing magic under the guidance of a priest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a certain level of qualifications, some of the malleable talents will face the selection within the church, and those with a high level of magic will have the opportunity to become priests, continue to study holy prayer and blessing magic, and prepare for the promotion to bishop in the future. Auxiliary priests who are not skilled in magic can become local priests who are familiar with the teachings and teachings of believers.
If the pastor is promoted, he will become a bishop and enter the senior clergy of the church.
In addition to the extreme devotion to the Father of All Gods and the proficiency of divine magic, he must also be calm and skilled, not only to win the love of the believers in the diocese, but also to have a good relationship with the local lords, so even the lowest-ranking town bishop in the bishop is usually forty years old, and he has experienced the baptism of life and society before he can finally achieve positive results.
This type of town bishop, also known as the town town, usually wears a green badge and is responsible for the affairs of a town church. Further up are the diocesan bishops, also known as priests, who govern three or four towns and wear purple coats of arms. The priest must be appointed by the Pope himself, and can already be called the upper echelons of the Church.
The people who can climb to this position are usually senior clergymen who have been immersed in the church for decades, and they are very experienced and experienced, so the diocesan bishop is often called "old priest".
Therefore, as soon as the gray-robed man revealed his identity, people recognized him as an old priest of the Church of the Fathers of All Gods by the white robe and purple badge.
It's just that this old priest is too young, and he looks ...... Twenty years old?
It was incredible that at the age of twenty he had been appointed head of a diocese by the Pope himself, and the noisy chatter and tumult on the deck was suddenly replaced by an exclamation, led by the captain, who bent down with their hands on their chests to salute the young old priest in front of them.
The young man waved his hand at the crowd, then squatted down beside the unconscious wandering old man, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the old man's chest without avoiding filth, and began to chant obscure incantations.
Soon, the unique pink glow of the healing magic enveloped the old man's body, and the magical light could be clearly seen flowing on the old man's twitching body.
"This posture...... It's really not the same as God's Healing and St. Winder's Touch, can you tell what kind of magic it is?" Sean asked.
"I can't see that my attainments in divine magic are not very good, and the touch of St. Wende has only just been learned. Helen looked at it for a moment, shook her head, and said.
The two of them stood close together, and the old priest apparently heard the conversation between the two, and after reciting the incantation, he explained in a friendly manner as he cast the spell: "This magic is called the Blessing of St. Araric. ”
"St. Araric......" Helen was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, and then thought for a while before reacting, "you mean the priest who calls himself 'Doctor'?"
"That's right, it's Master Alaric, one of the four priests under Ivan the Great back then, an eccentric genius. ”
"Why do you say it's a weird genius?" asked Sean curiously.
The young man waved his hand and began to chant the incantation again, and the pink ** power light on the old man's body suddenly flourished, radiating an extremely bright light in the dark night. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his free hand and continued:
"Because Master Alaric always believes that the divine magic left by the father of all gods cannot solve all the diseases in the world, and magic is too difficult for ordinary people to master, only through the church to vigorously promote the so-called 'medical skills' that he invented, so that more people can engage in the profession of 'doctor', in order to eliminate more incurable diseases and make mankind survive better. ”
"Uh......"
Sean and Helen were a little dumbfounded after hearing this, this Arariq master's remarks were really a bit shocking, as the pastor of the Church of the Fathers of All Gods, he would question the effectiveness of the divine magic left by the Father of All Gods, and transfer the function of the church to save lives and help the wounded in the hands of ordinary people, it is really incredible.
"And what about the Pope's attitude?" Helen asked at once.
The young man smiled: "Fortunately, the Pope was very tolerant back then, and Ivan the Great also respected him, and this Master Alaric is indeed an unborn genius, in addition to the 'medical skills' that no one can understand, he also invented a lot of very practical healing magic spells, such as the blessing of St. Alaric that is now in effect, which is the best means to deal with this sudden disease." ”
After a while, the young man finished casting the spell and washed his hands in the bucket of water on the boat. At this time, the wandering old man had stopped convulsing, and the blood on the whites of his eyes had completely faded, and with a weak moan, the old man slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
He was pulled back from the hands of death by the young man.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd of spectators.
Man is such a complex animal, when he just decided that the old man was infected by the plague, under the fear and threat of imminent death, people's bloodthirsty desire in their hearts was also stimulated at the same time, and the idea of the captain to roast the living people with charcoal was immediately responded to by most of the people, and Sean, who wanted to end the old man first and save him from those pains, was also abused by these people.
But when the young priest used his miraculous healing magic to pull the old man who had been sentenced to death back from the line of death, the normal humanity in the hearts of the onlookers who had been freed from the threat of death and had relaxed their emotions was awakened again, and these cheers were indeed sincere, not only happy that the old man had picked up a life, but also a sign of respect for the young man's good deeds.
Sean also breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the fact that the bishop happened to be on the boat, the wandering old man should have been cut off by his own hands at this moment, and then turned into ashes in the flames, and the poor old man was not a red eye plague patient at all, he was purely unjustly killed.
When he thought of this, Sean's chest was a little suffocated, and at the same time, he was more and more grateful to the young man for coming forward, after all, people helped him out of the siege, so he walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand and shook the other party, and introduced himself enthusiastically: "Thank you very much for your righteous action, my name is Sean, Sean Tamble, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
The young man with light gray curly hair put on the wide gray robe again at this time, completely covering the church robe on his body, he held Sean's outstretched hand, and smiled gently: "It's also a pleasure to meet you, my name is Kevin, Kevin Dracula." ”
The two young men clasped hands tightly, feeling each other's enthusiasm.
It was the first handshake between two people who would make all their opponents scare them in the future.
