In the Gaia world, there are also high and low gods, which are the lower gods with weak divine power, the middle gods with ordinary divine power, the upper gods with strong divine power, the main gods with super divine power, and the supreme gods with infinite divine power.

The goddess of commerce and wealth, Silvina, the god who is revered as the Golden Lady, is not a primordial god who existed when the plane was born, but a mortal who rose up by virtue of the change in the rules of the plane after the gradual development of various races and the emergence of commerce, so she knows how to operate very well.

Due to the huge number of believers and abundant financial resources of the Golden Lady, it took less than a thousand years for the Golden Lady to develop from a lower god to a superior god with several servant gods. It is rumored that this ambitious goddess is still expanding her power and developing influence in other planes, most likely with the aim of becoming a new main god.

"But if the situation just now, if it was really caused by me, but let John enter the Golden Church, it won't hurt him. Leo hesitated a little, but quickly thought, "Although I am the only one who hears the singing, maybe the pillar of light is triggered by me and John touching at the same time?"

Ever since he got some knowledge about God from Byron, Leo is still very interested in this supernatural and powerful being, and even went to the library to find "The Power of Faith" to study. Therefore, he knew that the so-called gods were actually intelligent beings who projected the rules of the plane and possessed extraordinary powers.

They have an almost infinite number of lives, and as long as there is zài in the plane, there will be zài. But when suffering a blow beyond the scope of bearing, God will also die, and if there is no believer's faith power to supply, God will also weaken and degrade, so God spares no effort for believers who are looking for a fit with themselves.

At the same time, God is not omniscient and omnipotent, except for a few who are favored, God cannot take care of the large number of believers, which is why Leo dares to do this. According to his guess, even if the pillar of light was really caused by herself, Ms. Huang probably didn't have time to care much about this, let alone send down the so-called "divine punishment". If God could really do this, there would be no need for priests, paladins, and god-punished messengers to defend the faith.

In any case, John's risk was worth accepting if he had the opportunity to become a pastor. And he didn't know anything about it, even if the golden lady was aware of it, she would definitely not be able to blame him. What's more, it is impossible to prove it at all now, that pillar of light has nothing to do with him. Having made up his mind, Leo kept his mouth shut.

At this time, Chris spoke again: "Although this student of yours is not very good in spirit, barely reaching the level of communicating with my Lord Consciousness, but if he can obtain the Holy Choice, his future path will definitely be quite smooth." Byron, I'm going to make up for this kid anyway, or you won't want to get out of here with your notes!"

As long as Leo is not left behind, of course the old mage will not refuse, and immediately said: "No problem, if you like, just take it away, and I promise, there will be no trouble." ”

Hearing him say this, Chris couldn't believe it, and questioned: "Why did you agree so happily, there won't be any conspiracy, right?"

Byron didn't want to deceive his old friend on such an issue, so he laughed, "Of course not." To tell you the truth, this child is not actually my student, but a servant in my room. I came to buy some fragile items this time, and I was afraid that the territorial guards would clumsily break things, so I brought him here. ”

"I see, it seems that everything is arranged by my lord. Chris kindly touched John's head and asked softly, "Son, it is a great honor that you have been chosen by my Lord." Now I ask you, will you stay here and serve the great golden lady, and will you follow my lord, and uphold the dignity of my lord, and dedicate your life to my lord?"

Even if Chris can crush John with a small finger, in the face of faith, he can only follow the temptation, not the slightest coercion. If you don't believe in God from the bottom of your heart, even if you enter the church, you can't get God's approval and become a clergyman.

"I ......" John was a little timid, a little cowardly, but not stupid. After overcoming the previous confusion, he has understood what kind of choice he has in front of him. But just now, it was obviously the holy emblem that he touched with his big brother Leo, and he couldn't be sure who caused the pillar of light at all.

Thinking of this, he trembled and said, "Big Brother Leo is also ......"

Leo was afraid that he would say something to the ground, so he hurriedly interrupted, "John, say yes, don't you want to be able to stay here and become a noble priest?"

"But I want to go home......" John had tears in his eyes. Although Joseph's castle is not good, at least he is familiar with the environment and the people there, and it is indeed quite difficult to accept that a thirteen-year-old child leaves "home" inexplicably.

For John, the old mage almost never took a straight look, but such an insignificant servant was able to unexpectedly get the attention of the higher gods, which made the old mage can't help but think of Leo before. God, though powerful, is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it is never possible to arrange today's one, as Chris says. And this unexpected scene can only be attributed to fate.

"Oh, is it fate again?" he decided to say something for Chris, "Child, in the temple of the goddess Sylvina, whatever you decide, I will never interfere. However, I have a built-in yì, which may be the most important opportunity of your life. Remember how you felt when you were bathed in light, and if you serve the Golden Lady with all your heart, you will be able to have it all the time. ”

John instinctively liked the warm and soft light, and subconsciously said, "This is ...... Really?"

Chris gave Byron a grateful look and affirmed, "Of course it's true, my child." The Lord will give you warmth, give you hope, and give you glory!"

"I ......," John seemed completely unable to think.

Looking at John's overwhelmed appearance, Leo was anxious, such a good opportunity, if he missed it, it would be difficult to meet it again. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "John, remember your greatest hope?"

"My best hope?" the boy blinked, unable to understand what Leo meant.

Leo continued to induce: "Yes, your greatest hope, you told me before, now sue me, what is that?"

Only then did John come to his senses and replied, "I can eat enough every day without worrying about being beaten." ”

Such a rustic and humble hope, Chris and Byron both chuckled.

Leo struck while the iron was hot and continued, "But now, as long as you follow Bishop Chris wholeheartedly and serve the Golden Lady, you can fulfill your hopes and get much more. Haven't you always wanted to learn magic from me, the power of magic is completely comparable to magic. John, as your friend, I really hope that you will accept it. ”

If someone else said such a thing, I am afraid that John's fear of the unknown would not be dispelled, but Leo is the person he trusts the most.

"Brother Leo definitely won't hurt me, he said it's good here, then it must be good. With his decision in mind, John knelt down in front of Chris and said, "I'm willing to stay here and serve the Golden Lady." ”

"Good, good, what a good boy. Chris pulled John up, then took the emblem from his hand and pinned it lightly to the boy's chest, "Now you're one of us, John." ”

For a moment, Leo seemed to see the emblem bloom with a bright glow, but no one around him reacted in any way. He rubbed his eyes, not sure if he was hallucinating, but in any case, John would be much better off staying here than in Fort Joseph.

Chris said to Byron contentedly, "It's the first time that something good has happened to you, this guy has come to me." ”

After returning the favor, the old mage was also in a very happy mood, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile: "I will always bring you luck, but you rarely find it." Since things are pretty much the same, it's time for me to go back. ”

Chris held out his hand, "Well, if you're dying, be sure to let me know in advance." ”

The old mage shook it heavily, and said with disdain, "You are the same. ”

At the same time, Leo hugged John and said softly: "My brother, you must work hard, without me, you must be more careful in everything, I will come to see you when I have the chance." ”

"Well, don't worry, big brother, I will definitely seize this opportunity to become a qualified pastor!" John replied firmly.

............

After cooking a good qiē, I walked on the way back.

Without John to take things, Leo's burden was even heavier, and as a last resort, he had to let Chubby take something that was relatively not easy to break.

Looking at the Eater who had been silent, Leo asked, "Teacher, what are you going to do with Chubby?"

The smile on Byron's face had not gone away since he left the church, and he replied casually, "Alas, that old thing from Chris would not accept my gift." Then on the way back, let it go. ”

Leo sighed and said, "Just a guy like it, stupid and stupid, will definitely be caught and eaten meat......"

"There's no way around that, that's its fate. The old mage said nonchalantly. In his eyes, ogres are not intelligent creatures at all, and of course they don't have much mercy.

Leo likes the quiet and obedient chubby very much, and hurriedly tentatively said: "Teacher, why don't you give it to me, you see it's very obedient, it just so happens that John is away, I can train it to manage the storm wolf." ”

......The old mage hesitated a little, but remembered that there was no servant in the real room, and the ogre had a natural deterrent to beasts, and he was indeed a good hand at managing the storm wolf, so he nodded and said, "It seems that it is not impossible to go back with the head of the ogre." Okay, just do as you say, but make sure it behaves well and don't make a mess. ”

"Please rest assured. Leo patted his chubby stomach and replied confidently. Unconsciously, he not only changed his own fate, but also made a very important and positive impact on the fate of those around him. Yiqiē seems to be moving in a good direction.

At the same time, the old mage was secretly thinking to himself, "Now that I've got the notes, and Leo's current level is not bad, that thing should start immediately." ”
