QQ's eyes flashed with wisdom, and then he smiled slowly: "Master Du Wei, do you like to listen to stories, right? Then I will tell you a story too...... It's also about Misius. It's just that it's a little different from the version that Maximus said......"

Hearing this, Du Wei suddenly turned over and bounced up, his expression could not tell whether it was annoyance or despair, but laughed wildly three times, pointed to the divine beast in front of him, and shouted: "Okay! Good Aragorn! Good Misius! Good QQ Adult! Lao Tzu is convinced of you! Say, what more sensational story is there? You can just say it all at once, lest you jump out again in the future to scare Lao Tzu!"

To be honest, Du Wei was a little annoyed and angry...... Damn, whoever changes you will have to make a fortune! Du Wei's own psychological endurance is already very strong! Two Gandorf, one white and one green, appeared before, and he endured it. Aragon, the founding emperor, was actually a crossing comrade, and he endured it. Even QQ said what "there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron rod is sharpened into an embroidery needle", Du Wei endured it!

But now?

You have to say that the greatest figure in the history of the Continent's Temple of Light, His Majesty the first Pope, is...... It's *** a bird!

This kind of thing, everyone will be crazy.

QQ has regained its calm, this mythical beast that has always prided itself on elegance and demeanor. He winked at Du Wei and said, "Okay." Looks like you've calmed down. That being the case. Can I start telling stories?"

"Say it...... Du Wei hugged his head in distress: "I'm mentally prepared, even if you immediately conjure up a cross and claim that you are Christ Jesus, Lao Tzu will not be surprised...... Say it!"

Christ Jesus...... Well. Say so. The master of Aragon said it back then. I don't know what that means, though. QQ came out of the gods for a while, and then began to tell another version of the story about Misius.

"Most of what Maximus and his entourage say is true, but it's just. About my personal origins. Not many people know.

About a thousand years ago. Roland Continent - Oh, forgot to say that. At that time, this continent was not called Roland Continent, and the name was changed after the establishment of the Roland Empire. Let me think...... At that time. The name of this continent is ......."

Speaking of which. Du Wei interrupted it impatiently: "Needless to say, these details will be said." ”

"Okay. QQ seemed to be unimpressed by Du Wei's impatience. However, he still followed Du Wei's request. Got it up to speed. Skip out these "unimportant" details:

"Aragon's hometown is in the south-central region of the mainland. Originally, there was a fang called the Kingdom of Rosse, which is about 600 kilometers south of what is now Dìdū, in the area around the Rhôna Valley. The kingdom of Rossi was not big at the beginning. There are dozens of countries in the forests on the continent. It can only be considered to be below average. And the troops are not strong...... The kingdom is not rich in warriors and warriors. Rather, it is known for its abundance of fine wines. As you can imagine, such a weak country. In that time in the forests of the kingdoms, they were bullied.

Aragorn and I were both born in a small town in the southern part of the kingdom of Rose. That Maximus told the story. Say I'm a priest in the Church of Light in that town. Well, that's exactly what the official account says. But in fact...... Hey. All my life. I've never believed in that goddess of light. “

Du Wei believed. If that last sentence gets out. It's sure to drive the entire Temple of Light crazy!

One of the founders of the Temple of Light. Great founder. His Majesty the First Pope. He actually said that he "has never believed in that god-seeing goddess of light in his life." ”

Saying so...... Hey!

"At that time, the town and the surrounding soil belonged to the family of the Aragonese masters. The father of the master of Aragon was a nobleman, a minor nobleman. He lives on the production of several vineyards around the town. The owner of Aragon was the youngest son in the family. It's a young master. And me. My father was a farmer on a vineyard. Employed by a noble lord. If nothing had changed, I would have followed in my father's business and become a grape farmer.

I was two years younger than Aragorn, when I was a child. The owner of Aragon was the leader of all the children in the manor. He's smart, and he's strong. Decisive and gifted as a leader...... Oh. Of course. He also has a problem. It's just very good. I still vividly remember when I was 10 years old. Evening time. He dragged me along to peek at the farm housekeeper's daughter taking a shower...... Uh, just outside that room, I crouched on it. The master of Aragon stepped on my shoulders. Leaning on the wall and looking at the ...... Afterwards he said to me - dear brother. You're going to love these lovely women, too, and I was young at the time. So I didn't understand what he meant.

He liked me very much and trusted me the most, and my father died, and I was too young to do the heavy farm work on the estate. At that time, those who did not work had to starve to death. And I couldn't finish the farm work even if I was half tired every day. At that time it was Aragorn who saved me, he stole bread in the kitchen at night, ran out to find me, and gave me food. Later, fearing that I would starve to death, he offered to transfer me to the noble lord's house as his servant. At that time, I stopped calling him by his name, but by calling him - the master .

Dewey, you're the smartest person I've ever met...... In my opinion, though, Aragon is as smart as you are. You get these things, like balloons that can fly in the sky, like in the army, and you have those soldiers play soccer to exercise. Well, you will definitely be surprised, because these things, a thousand years ago, the masters of Aragon had already thought of them!

When I was his servant. Once. He painted a picture. That's what you made out of this hot air balloon. He told me that with this kind of thing you can fly into the sky. I was excited to hear it. However, after the master of Aragon finished painting, he thought about it for a long time and burned it with his own hands. I asked him why. But he did not speak. Just looked at me. And then say to yourself - do it again, what's the point...... You don't get it. It's all just a cycle.

He is such a person. I often say something unfathomable. People don't understand at all.

Well, Du Wei. The square words you asked me to recognize that day were also taught to me by Aragorn. I don't know what it is. He taught me word by word. I admired him even more because he was able to create a kind of writing. But now it seems...... Du Wei. This script was not created by the Aragonese masters, but was originally there. Because you're going to write like that, too. Right?

I will be his servant. But he was more like my teacher. He taught me many, many things. Later, a lot of people said I was -- the clever Misius -- the learned Misius, but I knew most of the things. It was all taught to me by the master of Aragon.

He's so smart. And when he was still at home, because he was not the eldest son. There was no inheritance, and besides, he never tried to fight for anything. Both of his elder brothers are desperately competing for the limelight in front of the noble lord, trying to express themselves. Win the favor of your father. But the master of Aragon never did this. This performance brought him peace, and the other two brothers fought openly and secretly before. But they didn't embarrass him. So our rìzi has been having a relaxed and enjoyable time.

The time lasted until the time when the master of Aragon was sixteen years old. He decided to run away from home. He said to me. The outside world is big, he said to me. The world is about to change. He said to me. This continent will no longer be the world it once was. He said to me...... Oh, I've forgotten, he said many, much more to me. It's a pity that time is too long, and many memories have been blurred.

That year, he was sixteen and I was fourteen. I followed him and left the house together, leaving the town. I asked him why now and why he chose to leave now. He only told me: because the time is up.

I've never really understood his heart. I could feel that Aragorn had felt lonely all his life, because he seemed to have some secrets in his heart, but he had never told them to anyone. He treated me as the closest person and taught me a new way of thinking about things, so that he could relieve that feeling of loneliness a little. He often said to me, "Thanks to you, I have at least one person to talk to."

For the rest of the matter, you can refer to the life of the founding emperor. We adventure together. When he went to work as a knight in the mercenary regiment, I acted as his servant, helping him scrub his weapons and feed his horses. When he was in business, I acted as his attendant and helped him calculate the profit from the sale of goods. The last time, when we were about to go to sea, because I was seasick, he didn't let me go out with him, but made me wait on the shore.

As a result, after his ship went to sea, he was shipwrecked, and I was very sad when I got the news, thinking that he was dead. Then I waited at the port for a full month before he finally came back.

The first thing he said when he saw me was: - Okay, remember today, the legend begins today!-

In that shipwreck, he lost almost all his property, and almost all of the money we had accumulated as mercenaries for several years sank to the bottom of the sea. Aragorn, however, seemed to be pleased, and he did not show the slightest discouragement. Instead, he happily took me back to my hometown with me.

Soon after, his father died, and as the youngest son, he did not receive the inheritance of the title, but only a small inheritance.

And then...... Du Wei, you probably also know that the rest of the matter is recorded in the general history of the mainland, and the master of Aragon used his inheritance to organize a small private army. This move was ridiculed by many people at the time. The private army were all friends we had known during our years as mercenaries outside, and Aragon had gathered them all.

But then, sure enough, his approach was correct, in less than two years, the war broke out on the mainland, the Kingdom of Rossi was involved in the war, this weak kingdom was almost wiped out for a time, and the master of Aragon, also in the midst of the war, began to develop with that small private army, step by step, on the stage of history.

In the first few years, we went very well, and I was always by his side, acting as his most trusted assistant...... Oh. It's like you're with Philip. A lot of things. He'll talk to me about it. Merely. At that time. He didn't let me hold any position publicly, but kept me as his personal advisor, and many people didn't even know I existed. I've never complained. Because it seems to me that I can dedicate my whole life to him, and as for power, I don't care.

And...... As it turned out, he had already had a plan! He wanted me to do something bigger for him. So, I'm not a good fit to show up. “

"Wait!" Du Wei was fascinated by this, but suddenly interjected, "No! No, according to the story told by Maximus, and according to the historical record. Misius must have been the priest in the religious house in that town, but you said you left home with Aragon at the age of fourteen?"

"That's right. QQ glanced at Du Wei: "Didn't you say it yourself? History books often deceive people." This thing. It's not as simple as it says in the books. ”

"One day, Aragorn found me privately. He said to me. There was a very important thing for me to do. It's very important, and it's dangerous. Especially...... Except for me. He couldn't find anyone he could trust to do. I'm the only one. I didn't hesitate at all. Because I am willing to sacrifice for him.

Later, we discussed it for a long time. Began our plan, which Aragorn and I privately called usurping the gods!

The expansion of the army does not solve all the problems. At that time, there were many religions on the mainland. All kinds of churches, all kinds of faiths...... All sorts of gods. And conquering by force cannot conquer people's hearts. So. We decided to use religion! But we couldn't create a religion on our own. And it's too late. Only one religion can be relied upon. We chose the Church of Light. Because it has the most believers. The Powers can also be of greatest help to Aragorn.

Afterwards. I started to walk on my stage.

We secretly took the people back to our hometown, to the religious center in that town. Because of the war. The priest in the town's religious office is dead. There are hardly any people in the town anymore. We found all the records and documents in the religious center. After reading it carefully. Aragorn set fire to the evidence that was against us. Only a few were left in our favor.

Then I dyed my hair with a special magic potion that was really painful for me. Because of ordinary dyes, you can only make your hair sè for a while, and after a long time, the new hair will still grow the same as before. The Aragonese masters, on the other hand, prepared medicines. The drug made my scalp very sore and itchy, and finally caused peeling, and after a month, my scalp grew back and new hair grew, all of which turned into gold.

I drank a drug that completely changed my voice, and Aragorn taught me a skill that changed my bone growth, making me grow taller in two months.

It was a painful process, but I was willing to give everything for the master of Aragon.

After two months of preparation, I loaded the robes of the Church of Light on board. Then Aragon said to me: - Remember, from today onwards your name is Misius, and you are a young priest in a religious center in a remote town under the Church of Light. Your entire resume is clearly written on these materials, and I think you have memorized it.

Of course I'm familiar with it!

Aragorn trusted me, he taught me many things from a young age, and he used to say that if I had not followed him, I could have achieved great things with my own talents and minds. So he often felt sorry for me.

During those two months, I endured scalp pain, a sore throat, and changes in bone growth. I recite the Goddess teachings of the Church of Light every day.

After two months, I am sure that my familiarity with the teachings of the Goddess will be no worse than that of any true priest!

And then we started - the usurper - plan!

From that day on, I was renamed Misius and I was no longer the son of a farmer, and I was no longer a servant of the master of Aragon. My identity is Misius, a young priest of a church!"

QQ's laughter became more and more sly: "Then I went to contact the other powers of the Church of Light as Misius. At that time, the Church of Light was huge. But the organization is very loose, and there is no unified and coherent system organization. I am a priest of the Church. It's easy to break into the Church of Light. And I came from a good background, and the records show that I was a devout believer from an early age. fei-teng - hand hit. Of course no one will doubt me. I quickly took advantage of the funds that Aragon had given me in the Church. I gathered a group of people, and then used my influence to gather some small church forces to support Aragorn. Then Aragorn came forward and made deals with several heads of the Church. At the price of establishing the legitimacy of the Church of the Goddess, in exchange for the support of the Church for his unification of the continent. And me. Also in this process, the bit is getting higher and higher...... Things to come. I don't need to say it!"

This was said to the end. Let Du Wei sweat profusely when he listened!

This is where Misius comes from! This is the secret of the real Misius!!

What created the founder of the Temple...... Devotee of the greatest goddesses.

It's a complete conspiracy!

The "Usurper God" plan...... Oh, my God!

That is to say. The real Misius, very early, very long, a long time ago. He died in the war. You, on the other hand, have negotiated with Aragorn. Impersonated into the church. And then...... Step by step, the power of the Church was used to complete the unification war. Du Wei sighed: "Good plan, good calculation, good strategy, good courage!!"

He said a few "good" words in a row, and he had to deeply admire Aragorn's long-term calculation!

"Actually. We use the Church of Light though. However, it was soon discovered that as the unification of Aragon progressed, the power under the banner of the Thorn Flower became more and more large. And the church. This is definitely not a good sign for the future! A stable empire. If an empire has two powerful inner circles, it will definitely be the bane of unrest. And the church develops. It also stimulated a lot of gods within the church, those who were ambitious, and began to fantasize about all kinds of ridiculous things. Like what...... Theocratic.

They began to fantasize. Use the influence of the church. Control everything, with ecclesiastical power above secular power. Religion became the sole ruler of the world. All emperors, kings, and nobles must submit to the church.

However, these greedy people only know empty talk and yīn conspiracy. What do they know? They are greedy as pigs, vicious as snakes, if they control the supreme power and become the masters of the continent...... Hmph, do they know how to govern the country?

Of course, I didn't really care too much about these gods.

Because these guys, though vicious and greedy, were at least of great use at that time. But Aragorn was different from what I thought. He had always been jealous of the church.

Especially, something happened after that!

Du Wei, I think that since you have read the canons of the Temple of Light, then you must have read the canonical records of that famous miracle!"

Du Wei nodded.

The canons of the Temple of Light are similar to the Christian Bible of Du Wei's previous life.

In addition to promoting the teachings of the goddess, the canon also deified and beautified the process of building the Temple of Light. One of the most important chapters is a story that Du Wei originally thought was nonsense:

When the Empire of Light was founded, the Church of the Goddess of Light in alliance with Aragon was also very powerful at that time. At this time, there were cries from the people below for the need to establish a strong and sacred religious organization, a united and tight organization to control the religious affairs of the district shrouded in the radiance of the goddess.

At this time, under the clamor of the cry, suddenly, there was a miracle of the arrival of the goddess! This thing is believed to be the approval and authorization of the Goddess!

This account, which most non-believers, scoffs at, and the wise believe that it was made up by the temple to glorify itself. Including Du Wei.

Especially within the Wizards' Guild, they also disdain this so-called miracle anomaly!

Here's the thing:

The opening chapter of the canon is the last chapter of the first volume, and the chapter is called - The Goddess Bestows the Temple with Eternal Glory.

Legend has it that on the eve of the establishment of the empire, the head of the Church of the Goddess of Light at that time, Misius, who later became the first pope of the Temple of Light, His Majesty Misius, was guided by the goddess in his sleep, and in the dream, the goddess sent a decree and told His Majesty Misius that he was ordered to go to the top of a hill in the northwest outside the city at noon the next day to meet the miracle of the goddess's arrival.

So His Majesty Misius bathed and fasted, and at noon the next day, without any attendant. Alone, barefoot hiking. Come to the top of that mountain. Even if a sharp stone cut his feet, it could not stop the devotion of His Majesty the great Mishuus!

And it was just around noon. Above the sky, when the position of the sun was just above the head of the person, the divine mark of the goddess descended as promised! In an instant, the red light was so great that even a hundred miles away could feel a large faint vibration, and the red light spread out for thousands of miles. The sky is full of red clouds!

Eventually, countless meteorites fell from the sky! At that time, people were still panicking and thought that this was some kind of disaster. But those meteorites that fell from the sky. It fell in the city where Dìdū was under construction, and it fell on the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Light at that time (there was no temple at that time). When the meteorite is about to fall. But the speed slowed down, and it floated lightly and landed on the surface. When the people in the church gathered around to look at it, they found that these meteorites were densely engraved with all kinds of words. That's it......

The goddess descended and taught the church -theosomy-!

The goddess imparted these—divine arts—to the Church, and she made the Church man. From now on, you can learn these powerful divine arts. Have the strength to defend the authority and honor of the church!

And before that. The Church of the Goddess of Light though has a large number of people. The power is huge. But the heads of the church, including the heads of the church, are ordinary people. There are no spells. And this time - after the miracle - . Wizards have appeared within the Church to compete with the magicians on the continent and defend the authority of the Church.

This matter was written in the canon by the Temple of Light. Expressing one's power in the world. It's authorized by the goddess! This incident also made the people of the Light Church breathe a great sigh of relief!

Because. Although the Church of Light worships the Goddess of Light. But what is embarrassing is that the Goddess of Light has been for a long time. No miracles have befallen them! Even many hostile religions mocked them, saying that the goddess had abandoned them.

This miracle struck. Not only did it put a legal cloak on the Church of Light, but it also solved their crisis of trust. From now on. The church is getting louder and louder.

Of course. Scoffing at this matter, first of all, the Wizards' Guild!

The Wizards' Guild has never recognized any "magic". They believe that only the study of magic by magicians is the true essence of divine power, and everything else is heresy.

And the theosophery of the Church. It's just stealing some magic, and tampering with it, calling itself so-called magic, and using it to beautify itself.

As for this miracle, magicians generally believe that it was made up by the Church in order to glorify itself.

Within the Magical Guild, it is believed that the magician is the most loyal to the gods, because magicians do not talk about the gods and grandstand like those magic sticks. The devotion of a magician to the gods is expressed in practical actions: every magician has been working hard all his life to study the mysteries of the power of the gods!

If the gods are going to do miracles, then it won't be the turn of the gods!

"I have read the canon, and of course I know the description of this miracle. Du Wei laughed: "But, aren't these made up......? Objectively speaking, it is precisely because of this miracle that your position in the Church has been further established! Because the miracle of the goddess has notified you first, so that no one can shake your position in the Church, and finally you have officially become the Pope. Because you have received the dream apparition of the goddess, you are regarded as the spokesperson of the goddess in the world! Right? If it weren't for this, you might not have become the pope! Although you had a high prestige at the time, after all, the power in the hands of the heads of several schools was not low. ”

"You're right on the second point. Indeed, because of this incident, I was given a veneer of deification, and when I finally became Pope, no one dared to oppose me or fight with me. But...... The first point you said was wrong! This incident is indeed not made up...... It's real!" QQ's tone was solemn: "The goddess of light has really appeared! That's when it started...... I believe that God does exist. ”

Du Wei's expression was a little weird, and he quietly waited for this QQ master to say the following.

"That day I dreamed at night of the will given to me by the Goddess in her sleep. When I woke up, I thought it was just a dream, but then I noticed that next to my pillow, something appeared, it was a small stone, and in my sleep, the goddess told me that if I took this stone and went to the top of the mountain, I would be able to meet the miracle of her coming. That's why I realized that this wasn't a dream, it was real!"

When Du Wei heard this, he suddenly smiled strangely: "I don't think this goddess has any ability...... Hmph, you're a villain hidden in the church, you're not a believer in the goddess at all, and she has sent miracles to you...... It's really confusing. ”

"You're wrong again, Dewey. QQ sighed: "The goddess of light is not so kind, do you think she really chose me to be the spokesperson of the world? Then you are wrong...... The goddess doesn't choose anyone to speak for at all! In the eyes of the gods, all human beings are small, all are lowly, just like the ants you and I look at, would you care whether one of them is good or evil? You don't care about this kind of boring question at all. And the gods look at people as they look at ants!"

"So...... That miracle ......"

QQ's tone changed: "Don't you think it's strange when you read this record in the canon? Those stones with divine magic written on them came directly to the church, so ...... Why does she want me to go to that mountain? I go to that mountaintop and greet something? You know what? These are not written in the canon!"

Truly!

These words immediately reminded Du Wei, and he frowned and said, "Yes!!Did you come back from that mountain top empty-handed?"

QQ didn't answer this question directly, but said leisurely: "Du Wei, if you are a herdsman, when you herd a herd of cattle and sheep, in order to facilitate management, will you choose a cow and sheep in the herd to be the manager?"

"No, it won't. Du Wei shook his head.

"That's it. QQ sighed: "Herdsmen will choose to use a sheepdog. So...... The goddess sent me to the top of the mountain to meet a shepherd dog that she had sent to the earth! The gods despise and distrust humans. In order to maintain her faith in the world, she will not choose me or any human to be her spokesperson, but will descend to the next spokesperson!"

Speaking of which, QQ's eyes were a little fluttering:

"On that day I came to the top of that mountain and received the miracle of the goddess, who came down to earth with an angel...... An angel. ”

Du Wei's eyes flickered......

Angel?!
