Chapter 220: Give Me Time
Both Philip and Yun'er burst out laughing at Edward's words, and Wendy, who was busy working in the outhouse, didn't know what they were laughing at, but the woman's keen intuition still made her feel connected to herself, so she glared at Edward fiercely.
Talking and laughing like this, time passed quickly, and since he knew that Edward was doing well, Philip didn't stay long.
After repeatedly dissuading the two from sending each other warmly, Philip and Yun'er walked side by side on the way back to town.
Philip asked, "Yun'er, can you introduce me to the temple?" You know that in two years, I will be going to the seminary in Flogen. ”
Yun'er bit her lip and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"For example, your course is different from ours. ”
Yun'er thought for a moment and replied: "We are preparing for the saint girl major, except for the basic courses, the professional courses include singing, reading, painting, flower art and dance. ”
"No, I mean a little more professional, related to divine powers. ”
Yun'er seemed to be tired of walking, grabbed Philip's broad shoulders from behind and jumped upward.
Philip tacitly put his hands back and lifted the girl on his back, feeling no weight at all.
Not only because of his soaring strength, but also because the girl's body is always so slender that it looks a little distressing.
Yun'er's little hand twisted his ears a few times, and for some reason, she liked to knead his ears since she was a child.
"Yes, there are, but most of them are theories, and very little is actually applied.
You should ask the students of the priesthood profession about this, but they have always been mysterious, and even we can't easily reach them. ”
Philip patted his head and scolded himself for being confused.
Nowadays, the name of the saint is no longer a symbol of holiness and nobility in the eyes of some people, but a synonym for depravity.
Must awaken before the age of 24, and can only find a mate within the temple system.
Even such harsh conditions and narrow ascent channels could not stop the annual entry into the Holy Maiden major of the Intermediate Academy, which has always been a source of interest for the daughters of commoner families and minor nobles, except for the daughters of temple insiders.
The vast majority of girls are just wrapping themselves in an elegant and noble coat here, and raising their worth in order to get a more complete marriage.
So what really stood out among the saints was either talented, or they turned to further their studies in the priesthood course, just like Melissa back then.
But after all, there are very few women who are so amazing and glamorous.
"Then pick what you know and tell me. Philip said helplessly, thinking that there was an insider at home, but it turned out to be half a bottle of water.
Yun'er was obviously a little unhappy about being underestimated.
She lowered her head and bit Philip's ear hard before saying, "Divine power is not so mysterious, it's like swimming, theoretically anyone can learn it, it's nothing more than the introduction and the practice later."
In addition to those obscure theoretical courses, we have only been exposed to three major courses: meditation, perception, and control.
Meditation is similar to yours, except that we don't boil our bodies, but we read and sing divine comedies and poems to increase the activity of our spiritual power.
With a lot of memorization and practice, almost everyone can do it, and everyone has a different level, but the important thing is to accumulate day after day. ”
The practice of the temple is similar to that of the army, except that one promotes the development of the body to achieve the goal, and the other directly resonates with the soul.
The purpose is to improve the efficiency of the use of spiritual power and speed up the speed at which it climbs on those lines.
I can't say who is better, the method of the temple is more comprehensive, and the purpose of the army is stronger.
Yun'er continued, "Perception is the same as Catherine's talent, and the teacher will give each of us a low-level magic weapon.
At first, it is put in a special green solution, and we are allowed to observe the pattern of the vibration or flow of the liquid inside.
By the end of this semester, almost half of the students could faintly feel the trajectory of the divine power inside just by touching their hands.
I heard that those senior seniors can clearly feel every change in their divine power. ”
"So, anyone can become a priest?" asked Philip curiously.
This time, Yun'er shook her head and said, "Only truly awakened people can connect their spiritual power with divine power and control them.
This is also the reason why the Higher Branch of the Seminary only accepts the awakened.
Many midship-to-midship-level priests who have graduated from intermediate academies will do an internship for a few years before continuing their studies after awakening.
Like you, who awakened directly in the Intermediate Academy, there are only two seniors in the past ten years of the Gaokan City Seminary. ”
Seemingly proud of her boyfriend, Yun'er pulled his head and took a sip on it, which made Philip crack his mouth with joy.
"Can almost all of those seminarian students awaken?"
Speaking of which, Philip became interested.
In his opinion, since the Divine Temple was superior to the entire continent in the field of soul research, it was reasonable that they should have a very great advantage in screening the qualifications and talents of the students.
Yun'er shook her head again: "From the statistics of the five years after graduation, it is about six or seven percent, after all, the number of their students is much smaller than that of the Holy Maiden and the Templar Knights."
Almost every one of them has been selected by thousands of people when they enter the school, and they are geniuses in various junior colleges.
Those who are slightly less talented, even if the relationship behind them is strong, will be turned away. ”
Philip hurriedly asked, "How are they tested?" Is there any crystal or something, everyone touches it, and it will show the potential of spiritual power. ”
Yun'er laughed, and her little body leaned forward and backward, so that Philip had to hold on to her thighs.
The girl slapped him on the head a few times before saying, "What do you think?"
You go to our academy more than 800 times a year, what secrets do you have there that you don't know?
But that kind of thing does, at the foot of the Sanctuary Mountain.
I heard the teacher say that it is not a crystal, but a natural green stone, which we call a holy stone, and it will show different patterns according to the size of each person's spiritual power.
The surface of the sacred stone is covered with many different lines, and the higher the spiritual power, the higher the degree to which those lines are lit.
And the lines that each person can light up are different, and there are almost no overlaps. ”
"What shape is that holy stone?" It was not to blame Philip for being sensitive, Yun'er's words made him feel familiar.
"It is said to have an irregular shape, as if it were a piece of a meteorite that had broken off. ”
Philip was relieved, but he was more interested, and said excitedly: "Then how about we try it?"
As a result, Yun'er sneered: "The holy stone is in the holy area, and it takes a lot of money to make an appointment to enter, and it is said that there are thousands of children waiting in line for the test every year."
In this way, there are still many queues waiting for replacements, tens of thousands of people.
You know, it's not like you said, you can just touch it, but it takes a long time to prepare, to recite hymns or divine comedy next to the sacred stone, almost an hour to test a person.
Many people are too nervous, and their talents are obviously very good, but they fail to resonate and waste the opportunity. ”
Philip was dumbfounded when he heard this result, tens of thousands of people, more than twenty a day, when will it be queued.
"And the teacher also said that the existence of the holy stone is a miracle, but it is not all a good thing.
Many people dream of ascending to the sky in one step, especially those parents, hoping to wait for success after receiving the approval of the holy stone.
But he ignores that there is only one result of not working hard, that is, wasting time and talent.
What's more, some children are extremely talented, but they are killed by the enemy in every possible way.
This also makes the test more and more secretive and cumbersome.
There is also a question of whether the attributes of divine power are divergent or closed, and not everyone is suitable for testing.
In short, very troublesome. ”
Philip shook his head, he was a little more relieved when he heard the news.
How talented he is, he himself knows very well, and it doesn't need to be tested.
Since that kind of holy stone is not ubiquitous, he can also develop with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about Mu Xiu Yu Lin attracting too much attention and jealousy.
After lunch, the two of them didn't go out again, and the two of them kissed me and me in the house.
It's daytime, and Yun'er isn't as resistant as she was last night.
Philip pulled her into his arms, rubbed against the girl's smooth skin, and asked softly, "If I go to Florgon, will you come with me?"
Anyway, when you are an adult, you will automatically get the title of apprentice saint, and it will be nothing if you graduate a year earlier.
You don't have to worry about the formalities, whether it's for your uncle's sake or my request, Bishop Melissa will help. ”
After many days of deliberation and a long period of foreshadowing, he finally asked the question, although he was also very nervous, not knowing if it was the answer he hoped for.
Yun'er should have happily agreed to her lover's invitation, but Alexandra suddenly appeared in her mind.
She hesitated for a moment, did not speak, but looked at Philip with a hint of panic and pleading in her eyes.
Philip, of course, knew what she was worried about, and all he could do was promise to take better care of the woman, and nothing else.
Because even if she is released, in the southern region of the extremely xenophobic Wardersman Empire, there is simply no soil for that red-skinned woman to live freely.
So he didn't urge, but gave Yun'er some time to figure out for herself, what she wanted, this was her life choice, and Philip had no right to decide.
Yun'er took the initiative to hold his face for the first time, kissed him the lips and took one bite at a time, and then pressed his face over and rubbed it a few times like a kitten.
She looked Philip in the eye and said seriously, "I like you very much, Philip.
But I'm a little scared, there are still two years, give me some time to figure it out, okay?"
Philip looked at his own reflection in the girl's eyes and nodded slightly.
