It wasn't an illusion just now, but he really mobilized some Mizusawa! Tozyko was overjoyed, if it weren't for the ceremony, he would definitely laugh out loud -- he had found another way to mobilize the power of heaven and earth!
The crowd below was even more excited, and if it wasn't for the ceremony, they would have jumped up and cheered - the sight must have been a gift from the goddess Elichia!
"The Goddess answered our prayers, and she accepted us as believers" Some people began to talk to each other like this, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.
"Our souls will surely be accepted by the Goddess!" some of the older people were overjoyed, as if the world was no longer enough to be nostalgic.
"Maybe this water contains the blessings of the goddess!" Some greedy guys have already started to play up the idea of those misty waters, and it is best to ask Master Tohezi to distribute more blessing water to himself.
"Peaceful, quiet. Donghezi loudly motioned to everyone: "Now I will beg the great god of water to send down a divine blessing so that our town will be blessed by her!" After saying that, he began to pretend to pray:
O cool dewdrops, you moisten the boundless mountains and rivers.
O gentle spring rain, you nurture the vast green fields.
O surging river, you embrace the quaint earth.
Invisible you, rushing into the sea through the obstacles of the world,
Be the source of life.
Colorless you, integrated into the endless cycle of all things in the world,
Achieve life and death.
You are indifferent and ruthless, but you contain the dust of the world;
You are pure and tasteless, but you have become a gift from heaven;
You are docile and uncontested, but your steps are firm;
You gather and disperse, but you end up in the sea.
We will follow in your footsteps and harmonize all things in the world,
We will uphold your will and show the qualities of life.
The cycle of life will never stop in your arms.
The people under the altar prayed with extraordinary reverence, and their voices were really varied, from high-pitched or excited, hoarse to high-pitched, but unusually neat. These voices converged into an invisible force that vibrated between heaven and earth, getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, Tohezi noticed that the tremor was unusual. Not only were the sound waves vibrating, but there was also a ripple of ripple on the water elemental statue. This extremely subtle divine power did not escape the observation of the original god, and Tohezi followed the fluctuations to the bottom of the altar, and the fluctuations finally converged on one person—a thin aunt in her forties.
The mortals did not notice this, and they still prayed excitedly until a round of water-green light came from the aunt's body.
The crowd began to exclaim in a whisper, someone had won the favor of the goddess! Joy, envy, jealousy, all kinds of eyes were on this middle-aged woman, which made her a little overwhelmed, but she did not panic.
Donghezi nodded slightly, this woman's psychological element is not bad, she is a material for being a priest.
That fluctuation was actually the fact that the gods, under the prayers of the people, cast their own power into the world, preparing to plant a special "seed" in the woman's body, forcibly elevating her to a priesthood.
Of course, these changes can't hide from the Donghezi who has refined the primordial god, although he doesn't know why the water elemental god is suddenly interested here, but the beauty of adults is also a happy thing.
"Everyone be quiet, don't make noise!" said Toheko loudly, "This lady, please come up." ”
Seeing that her feelings were still relatively stable, Donghezi secretly praised in her heart, and motioned for her to kneel in front of the huge statue, and asked loudly with her hands, "What's your name?" Let the crowd under the altar immediately quiet down and watch intently.
The middle-aged woman replied with some restraint: "My name is Flick"
"Yes, Flick!" Toheko continued to cover everyone below with a loud voice, "Are you willing to study the goddess's texts wholeheartedly and turn her teachings into a guide to behavior?"
"I do. The thin peasant woman replied immediately.
"Well, are you willing to follow the teachings of the goddess and spread her faith to the earth?"
"I do!"
"Okay, are you willing to dedicate your life to the Goddess, no matter how hard and difficult the world is, you will stick to the will of the Goddess and never back down?"
She replied categorically, even with some emotion: "I do!"
Tohezi only felt a loud "buzz" sound coming from the statue, and in an instant it resonated strongly with the kneeling peasant woman! The head of the statue emitted an extremely strong blue-green streamer, illuminating the peasant woman. Tohezi used all his strength to sense this light, and suddenly noticed an indescribable invisible thing coming from the light, and in the blink of an eye, it entered the peasant woman's body - the seed of the gods had finally fallen!
Higashiko breathed a sigh of relief, judging from the hint of the god's breath just now, she was not dissatisfied with her deception, nor was she annoyed by her own prying eyes. There was even a hint of kindness, as if to say to yourself, "Hey, hello! cute little kitten".
It's really not a taste to be regarded as a cat by a ghost, but Longyou diving and people are under the roof, and it's not bad to have such a relationship. At least the pastor who has been raised will not play against him.
The thin middle-aged peasant woman raised her head, but tears flowed down her face. At that moment just now, she felt very clearly the power descended from the goddess Eliqia, and the feeling was so real, so magnificent and gentle, that no words in the world could describe it! She knew that at this moment she was no longer a peasant woman who died in obscurity and old age in the mountains, she was the apostle of the goddess and the representative of the goddess in this world. The past qiē seems to have nothing to do with him, only the mission of the goddess is his only beacon!
Her body radiated a round of soft blue light 10 feet (about 3 meters) wide, and Tohezi used the Genshin to inspect it and found that it was the "Piety Shield", a standard first-order divine art.
The people under the altar didn't even see the scene just now, nor did they sense anything abnormal, they just stared at the round of blue light on Flick's body in amazement, and their expressions were so focused that they didn't even have a single person to talk to. The previous qiē can only be detected by those who can see the aura of the spell, or if they have other special sensing abilities. Although the gods are real, they are not casually shown to ordinary people.
Toheko led Fllick to his feet and shouted to the crowd under the altar, "The great Goddess Elikia has descended her will! Flich has become the priest of the goddess! Now the keys to heaven are in her hands!" Then he turned to the peasant woman Fllick and asked, "Will you lead them to follow the teachings of the goddess and let their souls enter the kingdom of heaven?"
The temperament of the peasant woman Flick has changed greatly, and there is a faint hint of the leader's look and composure. She smiled very confidently and replied loudly, "I do, respected mentor." ”
When the townspeople returned to the city, they still celebrated enthusiastically, and the narrow streets were filled with the sound of singing and dancing, and some people gathered together to start drinking and making noise over the humble food, and some farmers with large families lit bonfires in the open fields, took out small gifts of food for the New Year, distributed them to the children, and then sang and danced around the bonfire, as if the New Year had arrived early.
The moonlit streets are filled with the smell of barbecue and bad liquor, and people exchange what little they have to eat and drink with each other to squander. Because their hearts are filled with joy, and these wines and flesh bring their love to the highest peak—saved! At last there is a god who cares for us! With her blessing, our lives will be better, and our children and grandchildren will live happier than we are. There's no need to store these things on a budget, because life will get better and better later.
Donghezi stood in the stone castle halfway up the mountainside, calmly looking at the brightly lit and crowded town of Hamon Well, but his heart was calm and confused.
It's a bit ridiculous today, a druid actually certifying a priest. This is just like a layman giving a monk a crossing, which is completely reversed. Moreover, the whole town, including all the soldiers, came, except for Grimm and the old baron.
Grimm was a mage, perhaps because of his education that made him reluctant to submit to a god. What about the old baron, who was known to worship Arec, the god of war. Is it because of this reason that he didn't attend? By the way, Le Lin also found an excuse not to attend today, and she believes in Elise.
It seems that the relationship between gods and believers is very delicate.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that when he used the primordial god to probe the magic light of the water elemental god today, he found that there was something that was real but seemed to be nothing. This feeling is a little similar to the way the sigils on my body are stored after I am transformed!
Toheko took out the arrow order with the "Scattered Demon Seal" from his waist and thought carefully. Since exploring the method of "refining talismans into seals", he has successively made several simple runes with arrow orders. These sigils are all refined with their own essence and blood, so they can be cast with only one movement of the original spirit when they are activated, and they can be cast several times a day, which is equivalent to having several more types of spells.
However, once you transform yourself, all your equipment, including these arrows, will merge with your body. At this time, you can feel the storage of the sigils, but the original spirit can't pinch where they are. It's like throwing a ring in a recycling bin with your eyes closed, you know it's there, but you can't find it. And if you can't get them, you can't use them.
It's really depressing to have a sigil and not be able to use it. I pondered about this for many days, but I couldn't figure it out. Today, I observed the magic aura and gained a little. Let's try to determine the way to store the sigil after the transformation.
As a result, the emerald green streamer on his body appeared, and instantly turned into a flower-faced badger shaped like Badbey, curled up and crouched on the cold stone floor, as if he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
Grimm stood in the small castle and looked at the streets and towns outside, today a peasant woman who was over 40 years old and couldn't read big characters was actually given a first-order divine skill in an instant, and became a standard second-level priest!
Ridiculous! I started learning magic myself at the age of 9, and it took me a whole 9 years to barely master the 2nd order spell. How could she, a peasant woman, obtain a first-order spell so lightly?Is there still fairness in this world?No wonder the teachers of the academy always look down on the priest, today I can be regarded as insightful!
He turned to look at his room in a huff, where the magic test bench was made of a simple thick wooden table, the large clay pots used to refine the materials were also old, dirty, and even cracked, the two rows of worn-out magic books on the shelves were almost torn, and the magic scrolls that were deliberately placed in the conspicuous place were actually only a few low-level tricks.
Why is this so? Is this my life? The life of a mage? The life of a baron's nephew? How am I different from those cobblers in the city? How long am I going to stay in such a boring day?
He was indignantly annoyed—
Why do teachers always say that I am not talented?
Why does my uncle always say that I don't do my job?
Didn't he know that I needed a lot of money to make up for my lack of talent?
Doesn't he know that once I succeed, not to mention the baron, the viscount, the earl, will also look at me and behave with a face?
How long am I going to wait? Why isn't he dead?!!
At the thought of this, Grimm shuddered - oh, I'm all so angry with the gods.
He walked around anxiously, and said in his heart: "It's better to wait patiently for two years, no matter how dissatisfied my uncle is with me, I am his nephew after all." Who else but me will inherit his title?"
The old baron stared at the statuette of Arec, the god of war, and his heart fluctuated.
The greatest wish in his life is to climb to the position of nobility, and now this wish has been realized.
After becoming a nobleman, his greatest wish was to make this poor land favored by some god, and after waiting for decades, it finally came true today.
Now there is one last wish left: to have a suitable heir to inherit his title. Let your glory live forever!
Grimm, you don't understand, the glory you want is personal success, and what I want is the glory of a blood and the happiness of a territory. Even if you are lucky enough to become a High Mage one day, people will only remember the glory of your mage, not the noble glory of my Baron Haril. Not to mention that you can't make it.
The old baron stared at the statuette of Aric, the god of war, as if to say to himself: "Mighty Aric, have you watched this qiē, and is my wish fulfilled because of you? ”
"Wan Sheng, Arec. He knelt on his knees in the dim candlelight, muttering prayers.
Flik was kneeling under the altar and continuing to pray to the water elemental god, she had been kneeling all afternoon, but due to the blessings of the gods, she only felt that her body and mind were unusually peaceful, and she did not feel the slightest fatigue or leg pain. Next to her were one of her sons and a few devout townspeople, all of whom were so impressed and fascinated by the ritual that they willingly accompanied Flick to continue their prayers in the moonlight at night.
The night enveloped the huge water elemental statue, turning it into an extremely powerful and oversized black shadow.
But in Flick's eyes, it glowed with a magnificent, brilliant and strange brilliance—a brilliance that only a priest could see.
She saw that the body of the statue emitted a huge blue light, illuminating the surrounding area of a hundred feet, like a pious shield magnified dozens of times. Under this blue light, Flick only felt like he was in a large bathtub full of hot water, refreshing and warm, and he couldn't feel the cold of winter!
She also saw that the stone body of the statue had completely turned the color of blue-green water waves, and she could even see a little bit of scale light shining up and down her body. Although the statue's protruding "head" has no face, Flick can feel a sense of non-existence coming from there, and it is real. And it was from there that the three oracles of the goddess came.
After the morning ceremony, the Grand Druid and the crowd dispersed, and she was the only one who persisted in prayer. Perhaps because of her piety, the goddess Elichia sent down three oracles one after another. The oracle came down like a statue speaking to himself, but Fllick knew it was just a flash of consciousness coming from his face.
The first oracle was for Frik to learn the written word and basic religious knowledge from the Great Druid of the East Zygote.
The second oracle told Frick not to be busy preaching, but to study the teachings of his own religion carefully, so that his soul could be closer to the nature of water. Wait until your own level has improved before helping others.
The third oracle asks Flich not to preach too much about his own religion in his life. Instead, we should set an example by our own behavior, and show our own teachings by teaching by word and deed.
Flich pondered the three oracles, and it seemed that the goddess Elizia was indeed a low-key and pragmatic god.
