Chapter 22: The Four-Colored Stone
Jerry narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little nervous.
At the beginning, there was only a faint layer of light on the four-color stone, almost completely against the surface of the stone.
Such a height of light, which is recorded in detail in the book, represents the most basic first-level affinity.
Level 1!
Although it was only the lowest level 1, Jerry was greatly relieved.
Elemental affinity, like the Divine Affinity, is divided into ten levels.
But unlike the situation where there is almost no zài0-level divine contract, even if it is the lowest level of level 1 elemental affinity, there are not many people in this world who can have it.
At the same time, there is a peculiar connection between the elemental affinity and the divine contract, and in history, all the quasi-divine officials who have been selected by the divine officials have a certain degree of elemental affinity.
Therefore, when Jerry saw the four-color stone light up, the most worrying thing in his heart had been put down.
After experiencing the failure of the selection of priests, he was not afraid of his low elemental affinity, but he was afraid that he did not have elemental affinity at all.
In that case, all dreams and fates will come to naught.
Although he knew that there were ways to artificially increase elemental affinity in the temple, it was far easier to get someone who had no affinity at all to gain affinity, than to raise a person with a level 5 affinity to level 6.
Counting on this method of gaining elemental affinity is simply expecting an impossible miracle.
But now, a faint glow on the four-color stone made him no longer have to expect a miracle, he was already standing at the entrance of the path of fate, and the next thing was to see how he chose to go.
Whew――
Jerry let out a sigh of relief, still clutching the four-colored stone tightly in his hand.
Now there was only one question left, what kind of results he could finally measure, and how much elemental affinity he would have.
In the past, he wouldn't have cared too much about that.
Whether it is the last life or this life, especially under the ears and eyes of Cai Hari, no one is more optimistic and confident than him, and he does not care about these so-called destined talents.
But today he is a little different, although he did not admit it to Leopold, but the fact that Robben was promoted to a disciple and became a probationary priest still brought him great excitement.
A month ago, he was the child king of Blue Village, and whether it was a fight or other decisions, he was at the forefront. And Robben, like the other boys and girls in the village, can only stand behind him and be protected by him most of the time.
He is used to such a role, used to being relied on, used to standing at the front of the crowd, and used to being the most powerful child king.
But only a month has passed, and the people who needed him to protect him have gone far ahead of him.
Ascend to the Believers!
Regardless of the actual status, just in terms of professional level, it is also at the same level as the warrior. And if you consider the status in the temple, even in the country of Edel, or even in the entire Mara continent, the importance of a priest may be greater than that of a warrior of the same level.
This is the priest, even if it is just a probationary priest, it also represents strength and respect!
Hum -
With a slight shock, the brilliance on the four-color stone exploded again. The light of the four colors left the surface at the same time with a height of more than ten inches, which is another level, level 2 elemental affinity!
Jerry didn't seem to care about any of this anymore, his focus wasn't on the four-color stone, nor on anything concrete, as if he was just looking into the void.
In fact, as early as when he was in Nick City, he had a premonition that he was going to open up the gap with Robben, but he didn't expect that the gap between the two would open so quickly and be left so far behind.
Although there are many reasons for this, such as the difference in conditions, such as the difference in the environment, and the fact that he could not have expected at the time, the changes in the Book of Destiny will actually intercept his growth imprint.
The conditions and environment are obvious, after all, the other party not only passed the selection of the gods, but also won the son of light with the strongest tenth-level god contract. With such a premise, the temple will definitely devote itself to cultivating Robben, and all aspects provided to him must be the best.
And what is around you?
A training ground, some potions, or Captain Mongo's guidance?
These must be much better than his return to Blue Village behind closed doors, and they may be better than the private guards recruited by some small city lords.
But inside the temple, although they have the name of a saint, they are only a reserve that has not yet been determined, and they do not belong to the official temple personnel, and they are not even comparable to those who have been transferred from the Warrior Guild in terms of treatment.
It seems that not only is the talent inferior to others, but the conditions are also far from the same, and Jerry should have given up the idea of comparing himself with Robben a long time ago.
But in fact, Jerry was not discouraged at all, only surging fighting spirit. And the reason is precisely the last disadvantage of him, the book of fate that can intercept seventy percent of his growth imprint.
Today's Jerry is only level two, and the second-level warrior apprentice seems to have really been thrown away by Robben.
But think about it from another angle, he obtained it when his talent was not high, his conditions were insufficient, and the Book of Destiny had to intercept the brand. If it weren't for these factors, even if only the last one was removed, would he still be left so far behind?
The level of the apprentice is only six, and although the believer, or the apprentice priest, is the next level, it is actually only the seventh level that has broken through the rank.
If he didn't have the help of the Book of Destiny, even if he still couldn't reach Robben's achievement, at least it wouldn't be too far behind!
Hum -
The four-colored stone shook again, and the four rays of light rose almost at the same time, this time only one inch high, but it already represented the level of the third-level elemental affinity.
Jerry's gaze finally glanced this way, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.
The four-color brilliance in his eyes was like a flame that had just been ignited, just like his mood at the moment.
What gaps, what conditions are bad, what outcasts, and that book of fate that people love and hate, even if these things are influencing him?
Whether it is external or internal, no matter what the shortcomings are, he will not retreat, and can make up for it with diligence, which is his advantage.
More than hard work and hard work, he never lost to anyone, including himself.
Wasn't this the case when he was first brought back to Blue Village by Old Harry, he was young and weak, but what happened later, he didn't become the most powerful boy in Blue Village.
Now it's just a repetition of the original process, how can he admit defeat, how can he admit defeat!
Whew――
It was as if Jerry's stirring love had also infected the four-color stone, and the light on it was really like a raging flame, and it suddenly jumped upward.
Elemental Affinity Level 4!
Elemental Affinity Level 5!
Elemental Affinity Level 6!
Jerry's eyes widened, and his attention finally turned back to the four-colored stone.
Level 6 elemental affinity, such an achievement is already quite extraordinary, if it is discovered in the divine selection, including the Stuart who blasted him out, the selection officers of the three major professional departments are afraid that they will all shout to keep him.
Although for the sake of faith, the Edel Kingdom attaches far more importance to the Divine Affinity than to the Elemental Affinity, if a person can have a level 6 Elemental Affinity, he is already qualified enough to become a powerful priest.
Even if this person's divine contract degree is lower, he can still exert his power in the sage line of the priest.
Unfortunately, that day, Stuart mistakenly thought Jerry was an outcast, and blasted him out at the time, but he didn't take the next step to test the elemental affinity.
"Level 6, can it be higher?"
Jerry himself was looking forward to it, but he didn't think that the brilliance of the four-color stone could be evenly improved, it was quite rare to have a level 6 elemental affinity, and it was almost impossible to want the four-series affinity to be stronger at the same time.
But just when Jerry thought so, the four-color stone shook again, as if a wisp of wind was blowing, and it seemed that someone had added a handful of dry wood to the flame of light, and the light actually bloomed again, and it was still the same four-color rise!
Level 7!
Jerry himself was a little dumbfounded, and an almost ridiculous thought appeared in his mind, maybe his talent ...... It's not as bad as he thinks, maybe his elemental affinity can be even higher!
Boom -
Level 8!
The light and flames soared into the sky, and they were more than a meter tall when they were pulled up.
Whether it was the number of light flame fluctuations or the height of the uplift at this time, all of them proved one thing without falsehood, his elemental affinity had really reached the level of eighth.
"Nine, nine, nine!"
Jerry's faith had grown completely, and he kept muttering in his heart as if the most devout man was praying, except that he was not praying to any god, but himself.
As if it was really bittersweet, just as Jerry looked expectantly, the four-color stone once again spit out its brilliance without hesitation, and this brilliance burned directly beyond the standard of level 9.
Now just waiting for the brilliance of the four-color stone to stabilize, at that time, it means that Jerry has a level 9 affinity, even if he looks at the entire Temple of Light, his magic talent will be at the top level.
But at this moment, Jerry suddenly felt a heat in his chest, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time, but he still understood what was happening in an instant.
Faster than his thoughts, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared in his chest, and the light of the four-color stone instantly seemed to be swept by a violent wind, surging towards his chest.
"Your uncle, are you still here?"
Jerry's face turned white.
