Chapter Seventy-Eight: Obtaining the Seal
As the point of light fell, the elf's health began to recover, and within a few minutes, the point of light was absorbed by the elves.
The priest unleashed a golden barrier again, checked on the goblin, and soon said to Caleb with a smile:
"Mr. Caleb, the treatment is over, and the elves are recovering very well, just wait for them to wake up on their own."
Caleb smiled and nodded, took out a money bag with 100 gold coins, and handed it to the priest.
"This is the consultation fee, thank you for your treatment."
The priest smiled and took the bag, feeling the weight of the bag and the golden light that flashed from the mouth of the bag, and the smile on his face was even better, obviously the doctor was very satisfied.
"Thank you Mr. Caleb for your generosity, and the pastors of the church will thank you."
Caleb shook his head, pointed to the idol behind the priest and said:
"Mind if I pay a visit?"
"Of course I don't mind, the church welcomes all kinds of believers to worship, may the divine light guide you."
The priest took the purse into his arms, bowed to the idol with reverence on his face, and made a complex gesture with his hands folded.
"Thank you...."
Caleb walked past the priest and walked up to the idol and bowed respectfully.
"Long time no see, Lady Agrea."
The priest was shocked when he saw Caleb's actions, and hurriedly ran over and pulled Caleb to his knees.
"Wrong, wrong, Mr. Caleb, how can you call the goddess like that, and worship like this..."
Whewβ
A golden light emerged from the idol, causing the priest to stiffen and let go of Caleb's hand.
He stared at the idol with a blank face, the corners of his mouth twisted into a smile of ecstasy, and he danced and screamed.
"What a miracle! It's a miracle! How many years have passed, and I have actually seen miracles happen again! β
With trembling hands, he straightened his clothes, and the priest respectfully saluted the idol.
"Lord Light, please guide me!"
The priest thought that his devotion had moved the goddess and sent him a miracle.
But after waiting for a while, the priest did not feel any change, and raised his head in confusion, and the glowing idol did not shine on him, but gathered around him, and he was shocked.
The priest's eyes widened as he watched as the light enveloped Caleb, and a familiar memory came through his mind.
It was five years ago when the headquarters of the Church of Light selected this generation of Church Sons.
'Moment of Revelation! Is Mr. Caleb the Son of the Church?! I just dared to teach a god-giver the etiquette of worship! β
Thinking of this, the priest's legs suddenly weakened, and he fell to his knees, and fell on the ground reverently, not daring to disturb Caleb.
Dingββ
"External connection request detected, whether to join"
"Join."
Caleb knew the road with ease, and passed without thinking.
Dingββ
"The application is approved, the connection is successful"
"Hello, can Caleb hear me!"
A pleasant and cheerful voice came into Caleb's mind, still the kind of relaxing pleasure that Caleb smiled.
"Long time no see, Lady Agrea, I can hear you."
"Ah, did you hear that, Caleb hasn't seen you for a long time, it's been more than two months since the last time, and I miss you so much."
"Hahaha, the lady said it was funny, two months is just a flash for the lady......"
"Oh, don't talk about this kind of thing, hurry up and tell me what interesting things you have during this time, I'm so bored here."
"Okay, but it's not a fun thing to do....."
Caleb told Agrea about the recent events, and Caleb also told Caleb about the battle he was going to fight with the Twelve Soul Pillars, and all the difficulties he encountered were confided in Agrea, and Agrea encouraged him and comforted him from time to time.
He felt that he was suddenly much more relaxed, and as the head of the group, he should shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Betty and Ena, and would not easily show his weak side.
But in front of Agrea, Caleb can pour out his troubles without reservation, which may also have something to do with Agrea's identity.
Anyway, Caleb and Agrea had a great conversation, and eventually Caleb even started telling Agrea a story.
"Hey~ What about after that? What happened to the monkey who was crushed under the mountain...."
"What's next..."
Crackling -
"What a sound!"
The sudden noise made Caleb frown and cover his ears, this is a conditioned reflex action, in fact, the sound goes directly into his head.
"Ahh There was a shock on this side of the Divine Realm, which caused communication to be unstable. β
Dingββ
"Disturbed by unknown causes"
Agrea's voice and the system's voice rang out at the same time, and Caleb was stunned for a while before he understood, and the murmur in his head grew heavier and heavier.
"It seems that we can only go so far this time, thank you, malady, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"Eh~ Is it going to be over so soon, I still want to listen to the story."
"If we meet, we'll go on and on, ma'am."
Zilacrackle β
The noise grew louder and louder, and Caleb clutched his head in a headache, feeling dizzy.
Sensing Caleb's condition, Agrea had no choice but to give up, and said regretfully:
"Alright then, I'll save my hope for the next time we meet, you don't want to die.
By the way, I'll send you some...."
The sound grew quieter and quieter, until finally it disappeared completely.
Dingββ
"The external connection has been interrupted."
With the prompt of the system, Caleb came to his senses, the light of the idol dissipated, and a pure white light seal was suspended in the air, floating in the direction of Caleb.
Caleb raised his hand to catch it, and the light seal melted directly into Caleb's hand, forming a pattern of wings intertwined on the back of his hand.
Dingββ
"External forces detected, merging...."
"Congratulations to the host for the Seal of Light"
"Obtain the Divine Spell: Evil Breaker - Undead; Unleashing this spell will deal strong restraint damage to undead creatures; Can be used on top of other attacks; It can give weapons the attribute of destroying evil; Spells are automatically recharged, and can be released 10 times a day"
"The Holy Seal is accompanied by a message, whether it is accepted or not"
Caleb looked at the holy seal on the back of his hand, this is what Agrea has sent.
"Accept."
Dingββ
"Hey, this is Agrea, the divine realm has become more and more unstable recently, and there are often inexplicable vibrations, so I can only tell you here.
This is one of my holy seals, although it is not a powerful thing, but you are not going to fight against some twelve soul pillars recently, I hope this holy seal can give you a little help.
Because of the rush of time, I only made one spell, but this spell is very powerful, and it is more powerful for the undead creatures than the holy water effect I gave you before.
Finally, I look forward to the next time we meet, and tell me a story next time. β
After reading the information, Caleb smiled on his face and rubbed the holy seal on the back of his hand, he could clearly sense the power in the holy seal, it was very powerful, it should not be an ordinary thing.
"Thank you very much, ma'am."
Caleb bowed to the idol again.
The use of this thing has been transmitted to Caleb's brain through the Holy Seal, and it is very convenient to release spells by using the energy to activate the Holy Seal.
He had one more means of dealing with Ivans.
Caleb looked around, he was still in the church, and it was already morning outside.
The priest was still on his knees, and he knelt all night, until the light had faded, and then he looked up tremblingly, and his knees were already unconscious.
'Is it over, is the moment of revelation such a long ritual......
Suddenly the priest's eyes opened, and Caleb's right hand looked incredulously, and he exclaimed:
"Holy Seal!! Woo...."
An invisible force suddenly covered his mouth, and the priest struggled to cry out, shouting in a frenzy:
'O Seal of Light! This is the Holy Seal of Light, the Holy Seal of Light that has not been seen for thousands of years, the sign of the Pope! Yes! I'm crazy!! β
The priest knew that he was absolutely not mistaken, that is, the holy seal of their goddess of light, only the Pope of Light was qualified to hold it, and there was still one in the church that was handed down from thousands of years ago, held by the current pope, and now I have never heard of anyone being given a holy seal by the goddess.
This means that the goddess recognizes the holder of the holy seal, holding this seal is equivalent to God choosing the pope, and there is no problem in establishing another church of light, and the current pope will definitely not dare to have the slightest opinion.
"Woooooooooooo
The priest whimpered anxiously, knelt on the ground with folded hands and bowed to Caleb, the highest liturgy in the Church of Light, representing the highest honor.
Caleb looked helplessly at the priest's appearance, even if he really believed Agrea's words, he knew that this holy seal must have a very high status in the human world.
In the future, let's be cautious and don't expose it. β
Taking a black glove from his backpack and covering the seal on his right hand, Caleb cast his mind on the priest who was still bowing to him.
An invisible telekinesis enveloped the priest and pulled him up from the ground, and Caleb let go of the telekinesis from the priest's mouth.
"Huh... Pope Great... Woo..."
"Don't call me Your Holiness the Pope, this matter must be completely hidden in your heart, and you are not allowed to tell anyone, not even the Church of Light, you know?"
The priest blinked and nodded busily, he didn't know Caleb's intentions, if he got the seal, it would be like the whole world would know about it, but Caleb, who was comparable to the pope in the priest's heart, ordered him, of course he had to follow.
"Very good, I let you go, you don't shout."
"Woooooo Ha! Teach... Lord Caleb, I apologize for what I have just done, and I ask for your forgiveness. β
As soon as the restraints on the priest's body were gone, he fell to the ground and apologized to Caleb tremblingly.
The priest looked up at Caleb, his eyes were excited, fearful, and adoring, and the man in front of him was a noble person recognized by his faith, and he could only be at ease if he was forgiven.
"Okay, I forgive you, you just don't think it happened."
Caleb looked at the priest who was kneeling on the ground again, a little helpless, this world kneels at every turn makes Caleb very unaccustomed.
"Don't kneel down to me at every turn, all men are equal, you are human and I am also human, I don't have one more mouth or an eye than you, we are the same, you and I are equal.
Even I think that even God is the same, respect for God, respect for people, respect for oneself, this is a real human being.
It's okay if you bow and apologize to me, please don't do this kind of thing again. β
Caleb's words shook the priest's body, and he looked up at Caleb in disbelief.
Maybe that's the difference between me and the Pope. β
The priest remembered Caleb's attitude towards the goddess, that is, the way he treated his friends, not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but the relationship between friends.
The priest staggered to his feet, straightened his aching knees with trembling tremors, and saluted Caleb:
"Yes, Lord Caleb."
Caleb nodded and bowed to the priest.
Walking up to Betty, she was sleeping on a bench with her hands on the back of the chair and her head resting on it.
"Betty, back to the hotel."
With one hand through the crook of Betty's leg and the other under her armpit, Caleb picked Betty up.
Betty felt Caleb's breath and naturally wrapped her hand around his neck, resting her head on Caleb's shoulder and rubbing it.
"Caleb...."
"Hmm...."
Nodding to the priest, he picked up the sleeping elves again, and flew out of the church with them.
................
The priests who came to the church early in the morning were surprised to find that the priest who was supposed to be the last to appear was already in the church.
"Father? What's wrong with you? β
The priest did not answer.
They found the priest standing upright in the church, staring blankly at the door, which was now wide open.
"Are we getting up late? Is the prayer service done? β
"Impossible, I deliberately looked at the time this morning, and we got up early."
"And what now, shall we ask the priest?"
"I'm going to go to you, Father Priest is very strict, I don't want to be scolded."
"You go..."
"Oops, you go...."
The priests were a little panicked, what if the priest blamed them for being lazy, everyone pushed and shoved, and finally a little priest was pushed out.
The priest timidly walked up to the priest and looked back at his little friend, who was gesturing to him to hurry up and ask the priest.
The little priest swallowed his saliva, thinking that he would be punished by the priest for copying the Bible later, and the little priest shuddered at the thought of the thick book like a brick.
He gently tugged at the priest's clothes and called out softly:
"Father? Father Priest. β
The priest sighed, turned his head and patted the stunned little priest, and said:
"Pray."
Without punishing himself, the little priest suddenly smiled and said happily:
"Yes!"
Seeing that the priests began to kneel on the ground and pray to the gods, the priest looked back at the door and sighed again inexplicably.
'Your Holiness the Pope, it's not easy to kneel, but I've been kneeling for most of my life, for power, for money, and for faith......
The priest knelt before the idol and asked his doubts reverently, but he did not notice that there was an imperceptible golden light flashing on the idol, as if to answer his question, but the priest would never hear it.
The priests noticed that the priest was strange, and while they prayed, some of them began to talk to each other and talk secretly.
"What's wrong with Father Priest?"
"How do I know?"
"Why don't you know, you were a vigil priest yesterday, but when I woke up, you were still sleeping in the house, and the priest must have asked you to go back and rest."
"Oh, I know as soon as you say that last night, two people came to church for treatment, and guess what they were going to treat?"
"What?"
"A bunch of goblins."
"Really! ...β
"Shhhh
One of them gave a careful look at Father Shen, his voice lowered.
"I also know that one of those two people is Lord Caleb, who dug a big pit to save the people of the city, and the other is Miss Betty, who researched the antidote to poison gas."
"Wow, why wasn't it my vigil last night, I really want to see the leprechauns, and Lord Caleb and Miss Betty."
"Prayer is over."
The priest's voice woke up the two lazy little priests, who hurriedly posed as if they had just finished praying, but this could not escape the priest's eyes, and he glared at him and snorted softly.
"Beshi, Momo, you two copy a Bible for me today."
The two little priests, who thought they had been fooled, suddenly turned their faces on their faces and wailed.
"Ahh No, Father. β
