10 How to deal with demonic demagoguery
Most people, in fact, do not feel the complexity and impact like Lily.
"He's amazing."
When the girl looked confused, Anthony and his friends were also criticizing it.
However, because they are not good at memorization, they gave up the ledger early, so they have no intuitive feeling of the difficulty.
So although I was surprised, I was not too surprised.
"It's understandable."
In the face of his friend's exclamation, Anthony said: "He is very good at painting, and no matter how bad his memory is, it is not much worse." ”
"But look at this situation," the friend said meaningfully, "I'm afraid Andy's memory is not just very strong." ”
They didn't see Andy's shorthand, but the audience did.
And at this moment, judging from the attitude of those people, Andy's performance before was obviously very surprising to them.
However, memory, while important, is not that important.
Therefore, except for the scribe who specializes in memory, and a certain "hidden" girl, the others present were not so surprised.
After being amazed for a while, it naturally changed the topic.
"I forgot, what's next?"
After a few glances at the people in the judges' seat, the friend asked Anthony.
"It's what we do best." Anthony replied.
"The best at ...... Fighting? ”
"It's not about fighting, it's about how long we can hold out under the spell of the devil's voice."
"Oh, faith and willpower."
The friend nodded, and said no more.
Since it is such a test, there is not much to say.
Because there are no surprises in the outcome of the test.
It was inevitable that Anthony would win.
This attitude is not arrogance, but self-confidence that is born naturally after getting to know Anthony as a person.
Absolute confidence!
……
On the other side, Andy stood still.
He didn't pay attention to all the pointing and pointing from the outside world.
On the surface, although he was sitting on the stone chair with his eyes closed, in fact, his mind had not departed from the previous assessment illusion.
Or rather, it's not completely out of it.
"Your gift for memory is amazing."
In my mind, an old voice sounded at this time, "According to the rules, we should give you a reward." ”
"But your performance makes us a little embarrassed, not sure what is right for you."
"Therefore, we intend to leave the choice to you."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"What do you need?"
I want to cure my illness, and you don't have the ability to do that.
Andy thought to himself.
On the surface, he took advantage of the connection between the two parties and replied, "I want a pen." ”
"A pen?"
The voice asked, "What kind of pen?" ”
"I want a pen."
Andy repeated, as if he didn't understand.
"Maybe you should make the specifics clear?"
The other party patiently said, "Otherwise, we won't understand what you're saying." ”
"I want a pen."
Andy seems to only say that.
"Well, let's explain the rules to you in detail, you see, kid, if you don't-"
"I want a pen."
“……”
"A pen."
“……”
"A pen."
“……”
"A pen!"
No matter what the old voice said, Andy would only say it, like a dumbfounded robot.
So in the end, the other party, who was very patient, finally gave up the idea of letting Andy explain the specific requirements.
A wonderful feeling of coolness was transmitted to Andy's mind through the stone chair.
Then, like a cloud, it was entrenched in the depths of his mind, somewhere undetectable.
Seeing this, Andy finally smiled.
The reward mechanism of the Star Sanctuary is not unique, and it can be said that every place where the Extraordinary Reserve is assessed will have a similar function.
In other words, Andy has experienced this kind of thing before, and he knows the rules here very well.
Because of this, he didn't look down on anything that the voice could give.
Whether it's some kind of inherited memory, or some otherworldly object.
All he could see was a pen.
The cool cloud in my mind is certainly not this pen.
It's just a "universal reward" of the corresponding specifications given by Andy's performance after the templar reward mechanism can't be communicated.
Think of it as a spiritual light, or a special "magic" or something.
This light has many effects.
Andy just wanted to use it to build a pen, though.
A pen that can draw.
After he became a transcendent.
"Unfortunately, it's not enough."
After judging the size of the spiritual light in his mind, Andy sighed secretly, but he was not surprised.
It's not a big deal for him.
If the rewards for one level are not enough, then take a few more levels.
Until you have enough.
So, after glancing at the spectators in the audience, he ignored the stares of the people around him, closed his eyes again, and waited for the second level to begin.
"The second level tests your willpower, and there will be demonic voices on the side to bewitch you."
Just as he was emptying his mind, a clear word like a mosquito and a fly suddenly sounded in his ears.
"If you're not good at this, you can recite the gospel texts of your religion."
"It will make you more emotionally stable."
There was no obvious source of the voice, but Andy still looked at a young girl sitting with her head bowed not far away.
The girl looked very clean in a black and white nun's robe, and her long black hair was neatly combed, which also made Andy feel quite kind.
But because of the head down, I can't see the appearance clearly.
"Where's the strange woman?"
Andy muttered inwardly that he didn't intend to deal with the other party.
Closing his eyes, ignoring all the noises coming from the outside world, he sat on the stone chair, and after a while, he felt a sense of distress coming.
When he comes to his senses, Andy realizes that he has appeared in a silent church.
The church is a standard style, with rows of benches behind it, and a pulpit at the forefront, near the stained-glass windows, the sunlight is strong, and the pulpit is full of holiness.
However, standing on the armrest of the pulpit was a strangely shaped statue of the devil.
Blood-red, with horns on his forehead, an ugly and terrifying face, and a large mouth with cracked fangs, as if he was smiling silently at Andy.
"Willpower."
Silently muttering the word, Andy casually found a chair and sat down.
A white rosary emerges from the chair next to it, with the symbol of the Evangelical Church ring acting as a pendant.
After holding the rosary in his hand, Andy's heart quickly entered an ethereal state.
For a religious believer, willpower is a very important thing.
It can also be referred to as concentration.
It plays a crucial role in the prayers of monks, knights, exorcists, and even priests.
And when faced with evil beings, such as demons or evil spirits, the strength of the clergy's willpower can determine life and death.
Truth be told, Andy didn't specifically study how the evangelical church cultivates human willpower.
But he's studied something else, something like that.
So, Andy sat on the church bench, closed his eyes, and stroked the rosary.
Like a monastery, he began to recite scriptures in his heart while praying with all his heart.
"As I heard, at one time, the Buddha was in the Garden of Solitude with the great bhikshus. At that time, when the world-honored one is eating, he will wear clothes and hold a bowl, and enter the house......"
……
The Buddha said, "Good, good! Subodhi! As you say, if you come to protect the Bodhisattvas and pay ...... well"
……
"No, World-Honored One. Subodhi! Bodhisattvas have no dwelling in generosity. The same is true of merit. Subodhi! Bodhisattvas should live as taught. ”
……
"My appearance is right and wrong, and the appearance of people, sentient beings, and longevity is right and wrong. Why? Detached from all appearances, that is, the names of the Buddhas. ”
……
"Don't take the phase? If not. Why? ”
……
"Everything has a way, like a dream bubble. If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed as such. ”
