Chapter 37: The Mark of God's Call
Keya's heart was disturbed for a while, and when he said that if he wanted to sacrifice his life to protect the goddess and defend the Holy Sect, then he would definitely move forward without hesitation. But what the Great Sage Maiden said was to let him bear the life and death of the Holy Sect, and even the life and death of the goddess. He was just an ordinary goddess believer, and even if he could be one with the Holy Sword Man, he would only reach the level of the Sword Saint. But listening to the cause of the catastrophe mentioned by the great saintess, this is actually a struggle between gods. So how can he, a human being, stop God's destruction?
The Great Sage also seemed to have guessed Keya's thoughts, and continued to explain with a smile: "The world of the gods also has their rules. In general, they do not intervene directly in human affairs. Because that would offend the wrath of the public and cause a joint strike from the gods. At most, they will only send down oracles to let their followers fulfill God's will. Therefore, the vast majority of the calamities we will face in the future will come from attacks by forces of the same humanity but different beliefs. Of course, this is for God. There are also some demons, although they also want to obtain the godhead of our goddess, but since they have no followers among the human race or the believers are not strong enough, maybe they may attack them themselves. That's where your role comes in. ”
Keya said puzzledly: "I am a person, no matter how high the level of swordsmanship is, how can I fight with a demon with mana?"
The Great Sage Maiden said, "Because you are the guardian of the holy sword! This sword of the goddess was formed by Aphrentina with part of her own divine power. This sword has the great power of slaying demons and fighting gods, but we humans can't bring the power of this sword to the extreme. But the Holy Sword Guardians are different, they can be one with the Holy Sword and the Sacred Sword and have the same mind. The power of this sword will be revealed. It's just that for thousands of years, the only one who can truly exert the power of the holy sword to the extreme is the first generation of the holy sword guardian Konstantin. When he founded the Holy Religion, it was his strength that prevented the destruction of many gods and demons who did not want to see the goddess have followers. After that, several Holy Sword Guardians were unable to cultivate to the realm of Sword Saint because of their own reasons, and they had no false name of unity of human sword. ”
Keya interjected, "In other words, only the Sword Saint can exert the power of the Holy Sword to the extreme?"
The Great Saintess nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ke Ya said again: "Then our empire, don't there be a sword saint, why do you want me to catch ducks on the shelves and reach the level of a sword saint in three hundred days?"
The Great Sage Maiden sighed lightly and said, "If it's really as simple as you say, then it's good! As I said earlier, in the past seven hundred years, there have only been nine Holy Sword Guardians, and even if you count them, there are exactly ten. There is only one person who can resonate with the holy sword and have the same thoughts, and it is only seen in a hundred years. At the same time, this person has to be a sword master, such a chance is really small. Although General Buck is a rare swordsmanship genius in a hundred years, he reached the level of a sword master at the age of twenty. But he has no relationship with the Holy Sword, and he will never be able to become one with the Holy Sword and the Human Sword, do you understand?"
Ke Ya immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Oh, so that's the case!"
The Great Sage smiled and said, "But your appearance has made me see hope again." If you learn the sword for seven months, you will be able to enter the beginner swordsman level. This is also rare in the entire continent's 3,000-year history. After the first human-sword integration, you skip a level and directly enter the upper class. It can be said that you are already very close to the Juggernaut. Although it is almost impossible to practice for 300 days, things in the world are originally man-made. As long as you work hard, miracles may happen. Believer Koya, for the sake of the Goddess and for the sake of the Holy Sect, are you willing to do your best?"
At this moment, Ke Ya understood that he had an unshirkable responsibility, so he knelt down and said seriously and solemnly: "Believer Keya, go all out to maintain the safety of the Holy Sect and protect the safety of the goddess. For this reason, I am willing to do my best to sacrifice my life and forget my death!
The Great Sage smiled, and with a slight lift of her hand in the void, Keya involuntarily stood up. Then she smiled and said, "Very good, if you have such determination, and you are so pious and brave, the Holy Sect and the Goddess may be able to survive the catastrophe safely." Believer Koya, from now on, you will succeed the Campton Holy Swordsman and become the tenth generation of the Holy Sword Guardian!"
Ke Ya said respectfully, "Yes!
The Great Sage Maiden slowly walked down the Divine Consciousness Platform and said, "However, Yanjing at this time must be mixed with many pagan forces with bad intentions, and they are watching us all the time. The last group of attackers have all been arrested. It's just that because of the steadfastness of their faith, they all committed suicide and died, so I have no way of knowing what sect they came from. But I don't think the fact that you can be one with the Holy Sword Man Sword should not be known to outsiders yet. For your safety, for the sake of surprise to strike at the enemy, this matter should be top secret. Holy Sword Guardian Keya, in order not to attract the attention and suspicion of others, in the future, you will still live outside as an ordinary student, but at night, you will come to the Holy Sect General Altar in a special way to practice your swordsmanship. You are the guardian of the Holy Sword, and the Holy Sword will tell you everything about swordsmanship on its own. Your talent is extremely high, and you should be able to progress very quickly. Hopefully, you won't let me down!"
Keya said: "Special way, what special way?"
The Great Sage smiled and said, "Come here and stand in front of me!"
Keya hesitated, but walked over, only to stand three steps away from her. At this moment, at close range, I saw that the face of the Great Holy Maiden looked so sacred and beautiful under the light of the fire. Keya couldn't help but bow his head, and didn't dare to blaspheme again.
Unexpectedly, the Great Sage Maiden smiled and said, "You're going to commit a capital crime again, Holy Sword Guardian Koya!"
Keya was stunned for a moment, looked up and said, "What?"
The Great Sage didn't answer, but just stretched out her hand, and the white robe on Keya's body parted by itself, revealing a strong chest. Before Keya could react, the Great Sage Maiden had already stepped over, and her right palm had been pressed on Keya**'s chest.
Keya only felt a chill in his chest, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated. He had already committed a major crime of blasphemy, and at this time, he was even more skin-to-skin with the Great Sage. This...... This...... This is not a capital crime that can be described as a super sin!
Seeing the horror on Keya's face, the Great Sage couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly shouted with a straight face: "Don't move!
As soon as she drank it, it worked. Keya's hands and feet immediately stiffened, and he really didn't dare to move. The Great Sage immediately closed her eyes, and suddenly, her palm lit up with a dazzling white light. Then Keya only felt a sudden tingling pain in his chest, as if his skin was burned by fire. It's just that the stinging pain disappeared immediately, but there was a warm current circulating in the chest and abdomen.
Keya didn't know what the Great Sage Maiden was going to do, and she didn't dare to move a little, so she had to let her do whatever she wanted. Only a moment later, the Great Sage suddenly withdrew her hand, and her body floated backwards flatly. He went directly to the Divine Consciousness Platform before he stopped and said, "Okay, Holy Sword Guardian Koya, I put the Divine Summoning Mark on you." After you touch the sigil three times, I'll know you're ready to come. When the time comes, I will cast a spell to teleport you to the Holy Sect Altar through the spatial channel. So no one knows when you're in, you know?"
Ke Ya looked down and saw that in the middle of his chest, there were three small red marks in the shape of a heart, arranged in the shape of a flower. I didn't feel a little curious: "Is it a point on each mark?"
The Great Sage nodded and said, "Start with the top point, then from left to right." When the time comes, the sigil will glow, and I will sense it. Guardian of the Holy Sword, Koya, from now on, you are directly under my orders. If the Holy Cult is attacked by the infidels, I will summon you to guard it if necessary. But your identity is top secret. Even if it is a holy religion, not many people know about it. That's all for me, I don't care how you explain to your family when you go back, but you must try to hide it from them. It's a responsibility for your life and for the survival of the Holy Church, do you understand?"
Ke Ya thought for a moment and said in his heart: "It's almost impossible to hide from your family and come to the Holy Sect to practice every night. It seems that I have to make up some reason, I am telling a white lie to my family for the sake of the Holy Religion, it should be no problem?"
At that moment, he said: "I understand, everything must be done according to the orders of the Great Holy Maiden!"
The Great Sage snorted and said, "Okay, that's it for today." You'll be here every day from tomorrow night. By resonating with the holy sword, learn the mysteries of swordsmanship. By the way, from now on, I'll send you out with mana. The place where you went out was an empty house specially placed by the Holy Church in the city. When you want to come in the future, it's best to go to that house and wait. lest you suddenly disappear and frighten others. ”
Ke Ya was about to ask where the empty house was located in the city, because Yanjing was so big that even if Ke Ya was a native, he couldn't be familiar with the streets and alleys of the city. It would be a joke if you couldn't tell the direction after you came out.
But the Great Sage didn't wait for him to speak, she slapped her hands twice, and the Divine Wood Door behind Ke Ya was immediately pushed open, and the silver-haired Holy Maiden who had just picked up Ke Ya walked in, knelt down and said, "Great Sage!"
The Great Saintess said: "Erin, the believer Keya has been here, it's good that you know, and the other saints are there, needless to say, understand?"
The silver-haired saintess was very well-behaved, and hurriedly said, "Understood, Great Saintess!"
The Great Sage nodded and said, "Okay, you take the believer to change his clothes, and then you don't have to take him away, you can come and tell me first!"
"Yes, Great Sage!" the silver-haired Saintess touched her head to the ground, then stood up and waited for Koya to change her clothes with her. Keya had no choice but to sigh, pull up the white robe on his body, kneel down and kowtow to the Great Holy Maiden to say goodbye, then stood up and left with the silver-haired Holy Maiden.
Not long after, the voice of the silver-haired saintess came from outside the Shenmu Gate: "Tell the Great Saintess, the believer Keya has already changed his clothes. ”
The Great Sage snorted, then closed her eyes slightly. At this time, a faint divine light emanated from her body, and when the divine light was bright enough to cover the flame light in the divine room, she suddenly opened her eyes, gently recited a three-character divine word, and then shouted: "Go!"
At this moment, Keya was standing at the door of the Great Hall of Sacred Words, not knowing what the teleportation method of the Great Holy Maiden looked like. Suddenly, he felt the imprint on his chest tingle again. Looking down, the marks through his clothes seemed to be bright, and at the same time, Keya only felt that the air around him was flowing abnormally, making a hissing sound of space tearing. Before he could figure out what was going on, his eyes suddenly went black, and his feet were empty, as if he had fallen into some kind of black hole. I only heard a piercing scream in my ears, and the whole person was top-heavy, fluttering, and I didn't know where I was. He had never felt this kind of involuntary floating, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to suddenly put his feet on the ground, and his eyes immediately regained vision. But because of the suddenness, he still lost his balance and fell to the ground at once. But the swordsman's reaction made him jump to his feet, and when he looked left and right, this was an ordinary room. Furniture or something, it is also the kind that is common in ordinary people's homes. He exhaled, looked down and saw that the mark on his chest seemed to be no longer lit. Keya had never been here before, and he didn't dare to stay for long. He immediately looked around and found the door open.
Outside, it's a small alley. Keya closed the door and walked to the entrance of the alley, and couldn't help laughing. It turns out that this is near my home, and I can walk about 100 steps to my door, and it seems that I have been worried for a long time.
When he got home, he felt hungry and remembered that he hadn't even eaten dinner. Then he went to the table, took a bite of porridge, and ate a lot of bread. At that moment, Asloa walked out of the room, grinned at Koya, blinked narrowly, and went to the backyard. Ke Ya's face turned red suddenly, and he thought, "Teacher Asroya probably thinks I'm with a girl again......?" Actually, although the Great Holy Maiden is high, she is still a girl! It's just that from tomorrow night, I will go to the Holy Sect to practice without telling my family. What kind of reason should I make up so that my family can feel at ease and believe in it?"
He frowned in thought as he ate. It's just that Keya has not been good at lying since he was a child, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good idea.
After he practiced his sword that night, he lay on the floor of the attic and couldn't fall asleep. I remembered that I suddenly changed from an ordinary boy to a guardian of the holy sword who shouldered the protection of the goddess and the holy religion. His heart was full of trepidation and uneasiness, excitement and excitement. Thinking that he would fight for the goddess in the future, his enthusiasm couldn't help but boil.
Keya thought a lot about it that night, and it wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.
After dawn, Koya woke up late. I didn't have time to practice the sword, so I hurried to the academy without eating breakfast. But in the end, he was still late, and was punished by the teacher Bai Falan, who taught the teachings of the Holy Religion, to stand at the door.
Keya had no choice but to stand honestly outside the classroom, and not long after, Britney, the lead teacher of the class, walked past her class in the corridor outside the classroom. She glanced at Keya, stood up funny, and said, "Keya-san, what's wrong with you?"
Keya had no choice but to smile bitterly and said honestly: "Report to the teacher, I ...... Late!"
Britney laughed, "Yes, that's the punishment! But I remember you've never been late before, what's going on today?"
Keya had no choice but to say, "I'...... Didn't sleep well last night, so ...... Wake up late!"
Britney nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you have to take a lesson, and change your mistakes, you know?"
Keya had no choice but to nod, and Ms. Britney turned around, stopped talking to Keya, and continued to walk forward. But after taking seven or eight steps, she stopped again, turned around and said, "Classmate Keya, it seems that you have never had an exchange with the teacher since you entered the third class, right?
Keya was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you talking about?"
Britney Spears smiled and said, "You can talk about anything, as your lead teacher, it is my responsibility to know the situation of each student." Come with me, Keya!"
Keya had no choice but to follow Teacher Britney. Ms. Britney's one-man office, right at the end of the hallway. After opening the door, Britney invites Koya in and pours him a glass of water. Ke Ya hurriedly thanked him, and Britney dragged another stool and said, "Sit down, Ke Ya!"
Ke Ya had no choice but to sit down and said with a forced smile: "Teacher, in fact, I am very ordinary and have no background. What can the teacher talk to me?"
Britney smiled, sat down at the desk, leaned her upper body against the table with one elbow against the table, looked at Keya, and said softly, "......Isn't it right?" You should have a lot to talk about, huh?"
Keya had no choice but to remain silent, and looked at Teacher Britney with very innocent eyes, indicating that he really didn't have anything to say. Britney just laughed, and after a while, she said, "Really, is there not? Okay, let me ask you." Keya-san, I remember that when you first entered the academy, you were a junior sword learner who knew almost nothing. But after a few months, you can hold on to 88 moves under the full attack of Diana's classmates. Can you tell the teacher why that's why?"
