Chapter 239: The One Chosen by the Gods
Elder Xi of the Roland Temple Presbyterian Church, he has a legendary name: Promethean!
The name is the same as the mythical deity who gave fire to mankind. 【】
And in reality, this Elder Xi of the Roland Temple, his own experience is also full of legendary colors!
Prometheus was born into a noble family, but because he was an illegitimate child, he could not be recognized by the family! He believed in the Cult of God since he was a child, and because of the poverty of his life, he entered the Cult Monastery in a city of the Kingdom of Sauron at the age of seven and became a minor monk.
And immediately after that, Promethean showed his extraordinary genius!
After two years of practicing at the monastery, nine-year-old Promethean was selected in the temple selection that year and was qualified to enter the temple and become one of the many practitioners in the temple!
It is worth mentioning that some time later, Promethean was trained as a warrior, and he was once favored by a paladin of the older generation of the temple who had retired to the temple and became one of his disciples!
At the age of fourteen, Prometheus received the knightly honor of the Holy Knights and became a member of the Holy Knights, the strongest army to defend the temple!
In order to keep the peace, the Holy Knights were ordered to quell the civil strife in the kingdom of Gordon.
Fifteen-year-old Promethean fought in the war and was awarded a Medal of Honor for his outstanding performance in the war, and later in the war, he distinguished himself in a surprise attack, killing with his own hands one of the three sons of the old king, who openly called on everyone to rebel against the temple.
Because of this great achievement, he was promoted to the captain of a Holy Order, and at the age of sixteen, Promethean became a third-class knight of the Holy Order!
At that time, he was also the youngest third-level knight in the entire Holy Knights!
After that, the exhibition completely changed.
Originally, if the normal trajectory continued, the genius Promethean would probably go back and continue to be taught by the old paladin, and his future would be limitless, and even people believed that this genius young man would probably become another paladin in the future.
However, Promethean said that he decided to quit the Holy Knights, give up his knighthood, and become a cultivator again.
Two years later, there was a drought in the kingdom of Gordon, and there was not a drop of rain for ten months.
Promethean made a move that made everyone laugh at that time, he actually walked out of the temple alone, and then kowtowed to the royal capital of the kingdom of Gordon in ten steps, praying to the gods sincerely along the way. And such a journey is undoubtedly extremely long.
At that time, everyone laughed at the seventeen-year-old Promethean and thought he was crazy! Even the elders of the temple, those powerful people with profound powers, were helpless, but he naively thought that he could move the heavens with a small and insignificant young cultivator.
The long prayer journey from the temple was extremely difficult, and at the beginning, one could see the young man, covered in dust, carrying a heavy bag in the direction of the kingdom of Gordon, kowtowing in ten steps, and how many times he fainted on the side of the road.
As time passed, gradually no one laughed at him, after all, such a move, even if he was a madman, then it was completely respectable!
Exiting the temple, this slow prayer journey lasted for two months before reaching the royal capital of the Kingdom of Gordon!
In these two months, Promethean has undoubtedly won countless hearts and admiration!
And even more miraculous things were born! When he arrived at the royal capital of the Gordon Kingdom all the way, when he stepped into the first step of the royal capital, the originally hot clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and it began to rain heavily!!
Since then, the name of Prometheus has spread throughout Roland6! People even call him "the chosen one of the gods"!!
At the age of twenty-four, the Teutonic kingdom was plagued, and Prometheus followed the temple personnel to the Teutonic kingdom as a practitioner. During the plague that year, countless priests and priests died of illness, and Promethean overdrew too much magic due to the transitional use of healing magic, which caused great damage to his body - his right eye was forever blind!
Such an experience also left him a legendary nickname "One-Eyed Saint" in the Teutonic Kingdom!
Later, at the age of twenty-four, Prometheus was chosen as a disciple by one of the elders of the Church of Elders of the Temple at the time.
At the temple's decennial debate, Prometheus was once again in the spotlight, and he actually recognized an ancient Cult dossier that had been stored for nearly a hundred years as a forgery. And just after the debate, the thirty-four-year-old Promethean became his teacher, the designated heir of the elders of the Elders!
After ten years of waiting, the forty-four-year-old Promethean became an elder of the Council of Elders!
In any sense of the word, such a personal experience is legendary.
And Promethean has taken this legend to the extreme!
After he became a cultivator again after leaving the Holy Knights, he spent almost all of his time practicing. For almost eleven months of the year, he shut himself down for almost eleven months. No one knows what kind of state his practice has reached.
"Wait......" Hearing this, Roddy frowned and interrupted Miaosi: "You mean, he is likely to be a magician who is stronger than you?"
Mioss shook her head, "No, that's not what I meant. The cultivation of temple cultivators is not a simple magic cultivation. The practice of a practitioner revolves mainly around the study of theology, and the shallow cultivation of life, gods, and one's own thoughts!"
"And then?"
Miaosi sighed: "Later, ......"
In every sense of the word, Promethean was the hardest of the many cultivators in the temple, even after he became an elder and a member of the Council of Elders!
On weekdays, everyone basically didn't see this serious-looking young elder, and he would only show up during the major events of the temple.
But then, Promethean began to accept disciples. He took in a total of three disciples, and each of those three disciples later achieved great achievements!
All three of his disciples chose to become magicians and practiced, and after that, all of them received high praise in the selection, and in the end, all three of his disciples deservedly became the "saints" in the temple!
Myosi suddenly smiled and said, "When I was young, I used to worship Promethean as my idol, and my only wish at that time was to be chosen by him to be his disciple one day. It's just a pity that when he announced that he was no longer accepting disciples, I was completely desperate. ”
"No more disciples?" Luo Di frowned: "Why?"
Myosi sighed, "It is said that he was trying to devote himself to the study of theology, and announced that he was afraid that the teaching would be distracted. After a long period of closed-door practice, he finally wrote the Gospel of Promethean, which was jointly appraised by the Presbyterian Church and later included in the canon of the Cult of God! It was the only work that has been included in the canon in the past two hundred years!"
Luo Di couldn't help but sigh and said, "In this way, this man is really powerful! It seems that he can do everything! knight, cultivator, philosopher, excellent teacher......
Miao Si hesitated for a moment and added: "Including politicians!"
"Politicians?"
"Yes!" Myosi sighed, her tone becoming serious again......
At that time, the Council of Elders of the Temple was divided into two factions. One faction is called the "asceticism", which advocates self-restraint and selfless asceticism - and Promethean is seen as the representative of this school.
The other faction was called the "cloud" faction. This school of thought is that people live in this world, they should be at peace with what they encounter, any life and fate are arranged by the gods, there is no need to deliberately do anything, as long as it is arranged with fate, it is in line with the original intention of the gods!
Later, at a decennial debate meeting, Promethean was speechless at the elders of the "Cloud" faction, and the "Cloud" faction was defeated that year.
"It doesn't seem like much, it's just a victory in a debate. Roddy frowned.
Miao Si smiled faintly: "This may be nothing, but then, the leader of the Yun Sect, because he was ashamed of the fiasco in the debate, actually committed suicide behind closed door......s!
"Suicide?" Roddy sneered, "Is it really suicide?"
Miao Si nodded: "I understand what you mean, but it was indeed a suicide! It has nothing to do with Promethean, that matter has been investigated by the temple for a long time, and Promethean has been cultivating behind closed doors since the debate ended, and he has not stepped out of the door!"
"And then?"
Miao Si smiled bitterly: "Then the matter is worth pondering! The elder of the 'Cloud' faction of the Council of Elders died one, and immediately selected one person from among the saints to add it...... Guess who you picked?"
Roddy's eyes lit up: "It's a disciple of Promethean, right?"
Miao Si sighed, "Yes!
Luo Di frowned and said, "Let Promethean's disciples enter the Council of Elders, will the people of the 'Cloud' faction agree?"
Miao Si said lightly: "Yes! Because that disciple of Promethean actually believed in the 'Cloud' faction! He was already a disciple of the 'Cloud' sect many years ago! And Promethean's suggestion was: Let that disciple of his enter the Council of Elders, and the sage's vacancy will be filled by someone from the 'Cloud' faction! Of course, the 'Cloud' faction agreed!"
Luo Di opened his mouth in surprise, and after a moment he let out a long sigh: "Gao! I actually thought of this step a long time ago, and let my disciple believe in the 'Cloud' sect many years ago!!"
Miao nodded, and said quietly: "Subsequently, the sage who was added to the Council of Elders, relying on his strong strength, gradually disintegrated the 'Cloud' faction, and the later 'Cloud' faction was almost weak, and it could no longer fight against the 'Ascetic Sect', and gradually lost its authority. became a foil in the presbyterian church. ”
After that, Promethean's authority was at its peak among the Presbyterians, and the temple's army, the Holy Knights, was also inclined to Promethean!
Because Prometheus himself was a member of the Holy Knights, and even a disciple of an old paladin, his comrades-in-arms and brothers were almost all over the Holy Knights!
Speaking of this, Miao Si suddenly frowned and said, "And then there's Fielding! Fielding is very ...... in the temple Loved my ......"
Roddy said in a deep voice: "So, in order to win over the Fielding Paladin, Promethean deliberately wooed you and him?"
Miao Si sighed, "My teacher is also an elder of the 'Ascetic Sect'. It was Promethean who recommended me to become a disciple of the teacher in the first place. ”
Miao Si slowly finished telling the legendary story of Elder Xi of the Council of Elders, and Luo Di was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and couldn't help sighing: "Amazing! It's really amazing! In just a few decades, it has slowly encroached, and it has actually spread its own power in the temple of Roland 6...... This Promethean is too terrible...... Did he start planning all this from a very early age?"
Miao Si smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I even suspect that he had already begun to plan when he gave up his status as a knight and became a cultivator. Speaking of this, she suddenly said in a strange tone, "Do you know who Promethean admires the most?"
Without waiting for Roddy to answer, Myosi had already said the answer herself: "It's Moses, the first and only pope in the history of the Cult!"
Roddy couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now it seems that he is about to approach his idol - this Promethean seems likely to become the second Pope His Majesty in the history of the Divine Cult!"
A trace of confusion flashed in Roddy's eyes, and he said lightly: "Miaosi, do you know? That paladin came tonight, not to kill me, but to tell me: Promethean, he wants to see me! He told me: In this world, there are no eternal friends, and there is no eternal enemy!" Speaking ......of this, Roddy smiled bitterly: "Prometheus, is he really 'the one chosen by the gods'?"
