Chapter 16: I'm No Longer a Child
A mortal threat, with the arrival of Tessis, ended so silently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the temple, there is a new scene, the sculpture group of the gods of the heavenly realm. The power of the goddess of wisdom was awe-inspiring, and she did not know where she had transformed into a pile of boulders, which quickly became the form of gods surrounded by the mist around her body.
The "gods" formed a circle and released soul-scorching flames, and the souls of Dunbar and his subordinates were tormented in the flames.
Cumberland, the son of God, stood outside the statues, looking at the pale and changing flames, looking at the few souls that kept flickering, as if he heard a silent scream, the pain from the soul level, deeply shocked himself.
Dunbar's three subordinates, the three seventh-level mages and assassins, were like a few bedbugs in the eyes of Tessis, and she eliminated them without asking what they thought. However, everyone showed a different attitude before the NDE, with Whit fleeing, Shadow kneeling and begging for mercy, while Swift stood proudly and without fear.
All Tessis wants is the result, no matter what they do, in the end, the body is destroyed and the soul is tortured, and her mission is accomplished, and I believe that the Church of the Stars will not encounter any major problems for the next few years.
But Cumberland was puzzled, he stared at Dunbar's soul, and asked in his heart: "Why, there are people who are not afraid of Lord St. Ossidine, who are not afraid of death, who know what the end will be, but who want to show their resistance by the act of death?"
Tessis came to Cumberland's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Why, what doubts are there in my heart, child, you have been standing here for a whole day, I didn't want to disturb you, but I must go, and I will say goodbye to you before leaving." ”
"Where are you going?"
In the temple, Tessis completely restrained her coercion, like an ordinary woman, replied: "Go to other planes, there are still many things waiting for me, you know, there is a danger in the heavenly realm now, and St. Ossidine's own strength cannot support it." As a servant, you, like me, have to be anxious about your master's needs. ”
Cumberland nodded, he had always kept his mission in mind, in fact, there was no need to remember it at all, the mission was deeply engraved in his soul. "Why, they are not afraid, they are not subservient, out of four people, there are two people who don't care about death, if there are always such people in this plane, what should I do?"
"There are still very few such people. After saying this, Tessis suddenly felt in a bad mood, yes, there are still very few such people! For the sake of ideals, for dignity, for freedom, their knees did not bend, and their strong self did not do it.
"I used to think that any human being, any life, any other god, would worship Lord St. Ossidine unconditionally, but it seems that I was wrong. Cumberland's face showed pain, "It makes me a little confused. ”
"Don't get lost, don't think too much useless questions, it's dangerous for you, kid. The goddess of wisdom said, "You have just been born for two months, although you are already very powerful, but you don't know that human beings are extremely complex, they often say one thing and do another, you must use your wisdom to distinguish the true from the false, you must also strengthen your beliefs, promote faith." Lord St. Ossidine said that the current situation, a plane, can only take five years at most, otherwise there will be a greater crisis in the heavenly realm, do you want to see such an outcome?"
Cumberland shook his head.
"Originally, one plane would only come to one apostle, but it was Lord St. Ossidine who sensed that Ocam was in trouble, so he asked me to bring you here, which has already consumed the energy of the adults, and also delayed me a lot of things, and now the entire plane is handed over to you, I will not come again in five years. "Remember, although you have the appearance of a man, you will not have the inferior roots of human nature, keep it simple, and all stratagems will seem ridiculous in the face of absolute power." Lord St. Ossidine has given you infinitely powerful possibilities, and I hope that you will conquer the plane faster and not go astray. ”
"I see. "Cumberland Drive.
"Well, good luck, goodbye. With that, Tessis vanished into the twisted air, and the temple's confessional hall became empty.
Pope Heino came to Cumberland's side again, he felt full of confidence, the two comings of the goddess have brought gifts to the church, this time it is even more incredible, giving each of the heads of the church a strong skill, and leaving an artifact, even if there is a strong man like Dunbar, the church is now completely able to resist.
"Don't think about them anymore, kid. "You can think of it another way, we are redeeming these stubborn souls who refuse to awaken, and the flames will help them to awaken." ”
"Awakening, what is that?" Cumberland wondered.
"Slowly you will know, in order to let you know more about the Lukai Continent and human society, I have found you two teachers and a maid to take care of your daily life, now follow me to have a look. ”
"Your Excellency, how is the search for Occam going?" Cumberland suddenly remembered his companion.
"Oh, we've sent a few people to the Misty Forest, but unfortunately, Dunbar's forces were rampant at the time, and the Dark Wizards were always active in that area, and they kept preventing us from finding the Apostle. "But now the situation is completely different," replied the Pope, and we have sent stronger men, believing that this time we will be able to find out." ”
"Is it possible to bring him back directly?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, I estimate that the apostle is already in a state of death, only the soul is still there, and the wizards under Dunbar will definitely use magic arrays and the like to imprison his soul, so we must find his place first, and then send the high priest over to remove the effect of magic. "The Pope explained patiently. "After all, no one can directly destroy souls, especially the powerful souls of the apostles. ”
"It seems that I still have a lot to learn, and I don't know much about a profession like a dark wizard. ”
"Yes child, then please come with me and meet your teacher. Pope said.
"Your Excellency, I would like you to change your name and stop calling me a child, I will no longer be a child from this day forward. Cumberland said solemnly.
The Pope paused, looked at Cumberland, who had only been two months old, and then arrived: "Yes, Chief Judge, I have arranged a new place for you to live, in the very center of the Garden of Dreams. ”
