Chapter 37: The Son of the Stars
Mo Na meticulously arranged the light armor on her body until she was sure that there were no flaws, and then turned to go out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She had been in Frenza since she had returned from the Bronze Engraving, but the Star Emperor had not summoned her until today, which made her feel a little uneasy.
However, she will not speculate on the Star Emperor's thoughts because of this, she firmly believes that her faith has never wavered, and perhaps sometimes due to lack of strength or experience, she has not been able to complete the tests given to her by the Star Emperor, but the original intention of these tests is to let her grow in failure.
As long as her faith in the Supreme God, the Morning Star, and the Star Emperor did not waver, she had nothing to fear.
Mola rolls over and gets on her horse. The steed galloped through the streets of Florence in the early morning, crossed the wide Tabor River, and carried her to the main square in front of the Cathedral of Florence.
Frannza was the second largest city in the Morning Star Empire, after the Holy Capital of St. Pelliel. The Cathedral of Florence is also one of the most famous churches in the Morning Star Empire, with a length of more than 300 yards and a width of more than 200 ma, and is made of white marble.
As she walked along the stone path through the main entrance of the church, the morning sun shining through the 153 towering spires like a dense forest, shining on the girl's face, staining her snow-white skin with a golden color.
She walked to the main entrance and slowly pushed open the heavy cast-iron door, revealing an atrium with a super-high dome, with four stone pillars about forty yards long and more than five yards in diameter standing at the four corners, supporting the intricately carved top.
There was no one in the atrium, and she walked to the back of the atrium, entered a side door, and through a long hallway, came to the door of a room.
The cultists who had been waiting at the door opened the door for her, signaling that she could enter.
She walked into the room, the square room had little furnishings, except for a circular altar in the center.
When she came to the altar, she stopped, and saw that the patterns on the surface of the altar were gradually filled with the light of the magic, so she lowered her head slightly and waited patiently.
A moment later, a white light lit up above the altar, and a translucent illusion appeared on the altar.
This illusion is the current Star Emperor, Nord, who is also the supreme ruler of the Prayer Star Cult and the Morning Star Empire.
Nord's real body is far away in St. Pheliel, and the so-called summoning is actually only to meet with Mina through the altar of divine magic.
Mo Na knelt down respectfully and said in her mouth, "Teacher." ā
The illusionary Nord smiled kindly, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Stand up, my child." ā
The girl got up as she was told.
From a very young age, she became a student of Nord because she was the "Son of the Stars".
In the Morning Star Empire, there are a total of ten sons of the Prayer Stars, who have been screened out from an early age to follow the Star Emperor and receive personal teachings from the Star Emperor.
Except for a very small number of high-ranking members in the Prayer Star Sect, no one knows the criteria for selecting the Son of the Prayer Star, but almost everyone knows that becoming the Son of the Prayer Star is equivalent to stepping on the bright road in the Prayer Star Sect and in the Morning Star Empire.
In the past, a considerable number of the sons of the stars eventually became the Star Emperor, thirty percent of them became cardinal Grand Star Prayers, almost half of them became Great Star Prayers, and the most unfortunate of them also reached the position of Star Prayers.
Among the ten existing sons of the Prayer Stars, Mo Na was neither the most talented nor the most powerful, but many disciples in the Prayer Star Sect knew that the Star Emperor favored her the most.
"I've read the report you submitted, but I've been busy with mundane affairs lately, and I haven't been able to find a chance to meet with you. When the girl stood up, Nord spoke.
"I noticed a suspicious Bloodline girl in Andya Town, and chased her to the vicinity of the copper carving line, only to be stopped by a puppet that could burn four substances. Unfortunately, I was not strong enough to be defeated by the puppet, and when I got back there, the two were gone. You've been disappointed, teacher. Mo Na said with her head bowed.
"No, you've done a good job. Nord smiled and said, not only did there not have a hint of blame in his tone, but he also praised the girl a little: "You said in your report that you paid attention to that blood girl because you saw traces of the blood spell on her?"
"Yes. The first time I saw it was in Andia City, and then I saw it again on her thigh next to the copper engraving line, so I was sure that it was indeed the mark left by the Bloodstaining Technique. Mo Na said.
"Good, good. Nord nodded slightly. "That's what I like about you, you can always notice things that others don't notice, and although your strength is not yet strong, you must know that wisdom is often more important than strength to fulfill the mission given to us by the Most High God. ā
"Do you remember what the Bloodclan girl looked like?" Nord asked again.
"I remember it very clearly. ā
"Very well, let me see her. After saying this, Nord stretched out his left hand to the girl, palm facing up.
Realizing this, she pressed her right palm to her chest, closed her eyes, and activated the magic in her body. After a moment, her right palm was enveloped in a cloud of white light, and she reached out and placed her right palm on the left hand of the Nord Vision.
In an instant, she felt a warm and soft power come to her through the altar. She contemplated the appearance of the Bloodclan girl, and Nord connected to her heart through divine magic, watching her memories.
After a few moments, Nord's power was gone.
"It's her...... It's really her ......," Nord muttered, and Molna noticed that there was a hint of excitement in the teacher's tone that was difficult to hide.
She couldn't help but wonder a little, what was going on, even the Star Emperor couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart.
After a long time, Nord spoke again, but instead of continuing to talk about what had just happened, he changed the subject: "Mona, how many years have you been my student?"
"I became the son of the Prayer Star when I was eight years old, and I have been with my teacher for ten years now. Mola replied respectfully.
"In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed...... the old man sighed. "You are my favorite student, you are strong in your beliefs, you are well versed in doctrine, but you are not rigid in dogma. I often think that maybe you can sit in my position in the future, in that case, you will be the first female star emperor of the Prayer Star Sect!hahahaha......"
"The students were genuinely scared. Mo Na didn't know why the teacher suddenly mentioned this, her heart tightened, and she didn't have time to think about it, and her body was already kneeling on the ground.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm just joking casually, old man. What are you doing on your knees, get up!" Nord smiled with a wave of his hand.
Hearing the teacher say this, Mo Na straightened up again.
"You've followed me for ten years, and now you can be on your own, but on many things, I'm sure you can make the right judgment. Nord said in a deep voice, his tone becoming more serious. "I think there's something I can tell you about. ā
"Do you know why we in the Cult of the Stars are crusading against the Bloodclan?" Nord asked.
It was an extremely common question, and she replied without hesitation, "Because the Bloods are alien. ā
"Why do the aliens have to fight against them?"
The girl was slightly stunned, but she was quick to think, and soon had an answer: "Because they don't believe in the supreme god, they blaspheme the authority of the supreme god." ā
"That's it?" Nord asked rhetorically, smiling.
Mo Na thought for a while, understood what the teacher meant, and replied, "It's just a fact that the blood clan doesn't believe in the supreme god. The real key is that we need to let the authority of the Supreme God spread to every corner of the continent, and since the Bloods insist on not believing in the Supreme God, then their end can only be destruction. ā
"Good. Nord nodded in satisfaction. "You're absolutely right. But there's one thing you may not know: in the last decade, our need to take Bloodline territory has become more and more urgent, and there is another reason for that. ā
"Ask the teacher for advice. ā
"Because of the Far East!" said Nord in a deep voice.
