Chapter 58: The Oracle
"How's it going, Lord Bishop?"
Bishop Kalian had just come out of the baron's mansion when he was stopped by a young man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The young man with light brown hair was dressed in a white sacrificial robe, and on the left breast of the burqa was a small sun embroidered with golden thread, which was the emblem of the Temple of Dawn.
Obviously, the young priest was also a member of the Temple of Dawn.
The sacrificial inquiry made Bishop Kalian frown, not because of the failure of the visit, but because of the recklessness of the young man.
This young man named Billy was a companion of Bishop Kalian on this mission, and he was also a junior he was more optimistic about.
It stands to reason that such a secret task should be as few people as possible, and with the strength of Bishop Kalian's legendary rank, if even he can't solve it, then one more silver-rank Billy will not play a role in changing the result.
And the reason why Bishop Kalian chose to bring Billy with him was to raise a successor.
Although the "Battle of Dusk" has dealt a heavy blow to the Abyssal Demons, the gods have also suffered a terrible price.
Many gods fell in this battle, and many more suffered heavy losses, and had to choose to recuperate in a sleeping way.
Not only that, but the various temples that are the spokesmen of the gods' power in the main plane have also suffered heavy losses in the bitter battle against the low-level demons, and they have not fully recovered until now.
There is no shortage of high-end battle power temples, and the powerhouses of the legendary and demigod ranks are not so easy to fall on the main plane.
There is no shortage of low-end combat power temples, as long as there are sufficient resource reserves and follow-up personnel replenishment, the temple has never worried that the low-end clergy of the bronze and silver ranks will be insufficient.
However, there was no good way for the temple of the lack of mid-level combat power, because the golden rank happened to be in a more awkward position.
Although the existence of this level can also be called a strong person, it has not experienced the baptism of the law like legends and demigods and changed the essence of life.
Therefore, the lifespan of a gold powerhouse is naturally longer than that of silver and bronze, but it has not reached the level of three or four thousand years of legend.
Even the longest-lived golden powerhouse (here only humans) only has a lifespan of about five hundred, and his own strength will gradually decline with age, and he cannot always stay at the peak like a legend until the last moment of his life.
Of course, such a flaw is only reflected in the golden powerhouse when he is alive, once they die and become heroic spirits by chance, it is a different world.
The only thing that limits the longevity of the Heroic Soul is the intensity of the obsession, at least until the obsession is dissipated, and the Heroic Soul has absolutely no so-called lifespan. Moreover, the strength of the Heroic Spirit can always be maintained at the peak of its life, until the obsession subsides and the soul is scattered.
It can be said that all the aristocratic families on the material continent with sufficient heritage are supported by heroic spirits.
However, the situation of the temple is more special.
As believers, the only way for them to become Heroic Spirits is to have an extremely deep understanding of the teachings of the gods, and such a gaterail makes it very easy for them to become Heroic Spirits after the fall of the golden rank of the temple, after all, if the level of understanding and recognition of the teachings is not high, it is impossible to step into gold in the special cultivation system of the temple.
The high chance of becoming a Heroic Spirit does not mean that the Temple has many Heroic Spirits, as all devout believers after death will be led to the Kingdom of God by the gods, and whether they have become Heroic or not, he will leave the main plane and go to the astral plane, except in extremely special circumstances.
In other words, the golden powerhouse of the temple is basically one less dead, and it is difficult to replenish it.
However, the bishops of various regions require at least the strength of the gold rank, and there is the barrier of the "wall of elements", even if the clergy advance gold is relatively simple, it is not possible to succeed by just piling up resources.
As a result, Kalian, who has already advanced to the rank of legend and can be promoted to the position of archbishop, can only continue to dedicate light and heat to the temple as a bishop of a land, for the simple reason that the Temple of Dawn no longer has a golden powerhouse who can take over the bishopric position.
It is not a big problem to have one more archbishop or one less archbishop in the temple, but the bishop is in charge of the specific religious affairs of a place, and there is no room for sloppiness.
As for sending clergy who are not under the Golden Rank to take over the bishopric position, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen in any temple.
The experience of the Harvest Temple is just around the corner, and it is from that time that all the temples stipulate that the bishop of a land must at least be a golden powerhouse who has been investigated.
The meaning of the examination is that the bishop's emotional intelligence and ability are basically passable, and the strength required to have at least the golden rank is to hope that if any unexpected event arises, the bishop will have the strength to calm or contain the development of the situation. Don't wait for the temple's reinforcements to arrive, and find yourself dealing with a projection of a demon archduke.
In order to step up the filling of the vacancies of the mid-level clergy, several archbishops are observing and cultivating the clergy of the silver rank, hoping to add a few more golden powerhouses to the temple.
Although Kalian is not yet an archbishop, he has become a legendary powerhouse, and he is no different from the archbishop in terms of treatment. The enjoyment of power naturally entails the requirements of obligations, and he also needs to examine and select a low-ranking clergy to cultivate, and Billy is the person he chooses.
As a priest, Billy is relatively good in the understanding of doctrine and the handling of things, and he has also passed the test in terms of heart and emotional intelligence, and he has a vitality and vigor that belongs to young people.
However, he also has a flaw that is a great headache for Bishop Kalian, that is, he is too reckless and reckless, and he is not calm enough in the face of things.
It is for this reason that Kalian chose to bring him to the frozen shores.
In the bishop's mind, going through a few more things would improve his reckless temperament.
Said as he walked. ”
The Bishop glanced back at the Baron's Mansion and motioned for Billy to follow him away.
The originally furrowed brow soothed, and after a little thought, Kalian, who had good patience, did not choose to reprimand the other party, but made a vague point.
Sure enough, Billy had the ability to match the bishop's weight, and he silently followed, reflecting on his recklessness.
Surveying the crowd with interest, Bishop Kalien's attention was mostly on Billy.
Feeling that the young man had calmed down, the bishop couldn't help but nod himself in his heart.
As long as you can know your shortcomings and always want to control and improve, then you can be considered a talent.
"Why don't you speak?"
Kalian's gentle voice shook the young man from his musings.
"I was reckless, Bishop. Billy said in a ashamed tone, "I almost caused you to be rude in front of the Baron's Mansion." ”
"It's just a lack of experience, it's not a big deal. Worrying about such a trivial matter is not the reaction of a good sacrifice. ”
Hearing Billy's confession, Bishop Kalian chuckled a few times and spoke out in relief.
Now that he had realized his mistake, Callian should not criticize him too much, and for young people, encouragement is always more useful than reprimand, as can be seen from Riefin's performance.
Glancing at the gift box in his hand, Kalian shook his head helplessly. He knew that Riffin should not have been as sloppy as he had appeared, but who had made him stand up for a father with a strong and demanding style? After so many years of criticism, no matter how talented a young man was, he could not excel.
"Alas, Baron Ryan Rees is really ruthless, and before he asked me what I was trying to do, he gave up this son directly in order to prevent me from playing on the subject. This is the aristocracy, it's really chilling. ”
As he walked towards his rented place, Bishop Kalian thought to himself in his heart: "It's a pity, I wanted to use the relationship of the Talyan family to slowly intersect with the Morte family, but I didn't expect that the Frozen Coast's defense of the temple has reached this level. It's better to visit directly, and then ask someone else for help, I'm afraid it won't be too good. ”
"Count Cheno, are you the chosen son of my lord's oracle?"
