Andu ignored the crowd of onlookers and quickly entered the main church, because it was not a weekend, and it was morning, and the church had not officially opened, so there were not many people in the church at this time, and the empty church seemed a little deserted.

A large number of faint candlelight and the light refracted from the glass windows are perfectly integrated, reflecting the interior of the church very brightly, with the white and holy interior color, so that visitors can't help but have pure and pious thoughts.

Andu's arrival did not attract the attention of the people in the church, and the small commotion that had just taken place was outside the church, and the people inside the church at this time did not know what Andu's words about the Bible had just been made.

And because the time is too early, there is still an hour before the official service time, and most of the people in the church at this time, in addition to the official staff of the church, are volunteers, that is, peripheral workers who work for the church without pay.

They carefully cleaned the church, wiped every glass, cleaned every corner, with a serious attitude and a focused expression, and after noticing Andu's arrival, they only nodded slightly, and did not ask Andu why he trespassed for no reason, or even asked why the missionaries on duty did not stop him, and continued their work, like the most humble servants of God.

Andu was upset at this time, and just wanted to quickly find the walkley that Roy said, complete the initiation process, nodded in response, and then began to look around the inside of the church.

After a round of gaze, Andu walked up the stairs to the front of the church, where the statue of the priest was carved more than ten meters high.

It is said that it is a statue of a god, but it is not obvious, only a vague figure when you look closely, because of the allusion that the god cannot look directly, the face of the god is almost completely blank, and the body is surrounded by white holy light, the right hand collapses the glass bottle-like object, the left hand is pressed forward, and the direction of the downward press, two twelve-winged angels who are in charge of punishment and the law, about the human body, hold the sword of Damocles in four hands, and seem to judge everything in front of them with a charging attitude.

Just a few meters in front of the statue, a white-robed probationary priest was standing, reading the Bible in his hand intently, whispering a few words from time to time.

Andu's instincts told him that this man was Walkley.

"Are you Reverend Walkley, please?"

Andu looked at the probationary pastor in front of him, his body bowed slightly, his right hand touched his chest, and asked politely.

"Is there anything you're looking for me?"

Walkley looked at Andu in front of him suspiciously, and then said seriously, "It's a probationary priest." ”

Andu ignored Walkley's correction and said with a smile, "Teacher Roy asked me to come to you." ”

Walkley suddenly closed the Bible in his hand, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Roy's sacrifice has already been explained, and if you're okay, you can complete the initiation ceremony in a while." ”

"Thank you. ”

Andu said sincerely, and at the same time his eyes turned to the Bible in Walkley's hand.

"The New Testament, the Book of Romans?"

Walkley picked up the Bible in his hand in surprise, pointed to the cover of the Bible with his right hand and said, "How do you know, this book has no title?" ”

Andu smiled and pointed to the only line on the cover, which was obviously handwritten.

"Forgive the sins of others with patience. ”

"I think it seems like a summary of a sentence in Romans in the New Testament, doesn't it?"

Walkley's originally casual standing posture became straight, a pair of eyes revealed a clear brilliance, and he looked at Andu, who was dressed in shabby clothes in front of him, and said with a serious face: "I didn't know why the Roy Sacrifice would accept you as a student, but now I finally know." ”

There are as many as sixty-six volumes of the Old Testament and the New Testament together, and even Walkley, who has been in the church for five years, has just finished studying the Old Testament, and can barely reach the point of familiarity, and it is very difficult to memorize it silently, and the New Testament has just begun to read, and it is completely impossible to understand it, but the young man in front of him can deduce which volume the book is from just one sentence, which makes Walkley convinced Roy's choice from the bottom of his heart.

Andu smiled and nodded in response, and then said, "How do I complete the initiation ceremony?"

Walkley turned around and said, "Let's talk as we go." ”

The two walked along the aisle, all the way forward, and Walkley also explained slowly: "It's a ritual, it's actually very simple, it's to test in front of the holy breath of the ring stone, by the way, I heard Roy Sacrifice say that you seem to be a student of Halmar Southern Academy, right? ”

"By the way, this test will also stimulate the origin of the spirit in your body, which means that if you succeed, you will be able to perceive a certain amount of aura in the future. Walkley tilted his head, thought for a moment and added.

Andu followed Walkley down the aisle of the church, listening to his introduction with his hands crossed, the tense expression on his face gradually soothed.

"It's the same as what I know, as long as I make sure that the spirituality is enough, I can find a time to bind the Ring of Origin as soon as tonight, and then with the improvement of the card ring, and then draw cards and card rings, the difficulty will be reduced a lot, and the previous plans can be slowly put on the agenda. ”

Anduand Walkley had a casual conversation, because he had just shown his knowledge of the Bible, and Walkerley's attitude was very friendly, and he wanted to discuss some issues with him from time to time, which gave him some headaches.

In order to dismiss Walkerley, Andu, in line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, tried to play a sideline game, did not have in-depth discussions with Walkerley, and often directly mentioned one sentence, or even asked Walkerley questions rhetorically.

But looking at Walkley's firm eyes and serious expression, Andu always felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.

After walking through the long corridors, the two finally passed through the prayer area and came to the retreat area, which was much more simple in architectural style, with white rooms several meters high, with neat rest areas and scriptures to read during meditation, and a large amount of vegetation planted in the surrounding area, adding a few vivid colors to the white complex.

The two skimmed over a large area and made their way to a large white retreat room.

"That's it. ”

Andu followed Walkley into this obviously taller retreat hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that this retreat hall was obviously different from the ordinary retreat room, there was no rest area, and the bookshelf that should have existed for the scriptures was gone, only a huge stone round platform, on which a white cushion was placed alone, and a milky white "pebble" was lying quietly on it.

Andu stepped forward, pointed to the "pebbles" and said, "This is the ring measuring stone?"

When he saw this stone, Andu already knew that this was the ring measuring stone, but in order to match his countryman's personality, he asked again.

Walkley nodded, "You concentrate, hold this ring stone, imagine him as a part of your body, and imagine that he has become something else, anything can be, including magic, extradimensional creatures, machines, cannons, beasts, buildings, etc." ”

Andu picked up the milky white ring stone and signaled to Walkley that he was clear, then closed his eyes and focused his mind completely on the ring stone.

It's not the first time Andu has heard of the rules for the use of the Ring Stone, but this time it is the most strictly required one.

"Without external help, this time I have to rely on myself. ”

Andu took a deep breath and began the test.

The invisible and untouched spiritual power flowed along Andu's consciousness to the ring stone in his hand, and at the same time, a faint milky white light began to emit from the ring stone, and Walkley on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that this milky white glimmer obscures the ring on Andu's hand that is emitting a faint light.

Walkley watched Andu gradually enter the formal process of testing, and his hands that were originally clenched slowly stretched, and he finally didn't have to worry about how to explain to Roy's sacrifice.

Andu felt the touch of the ring stone in his hand getting hotter and hotter, and he was a little worried, but he didn't hear the sound of Walkley stopping, and he didn't dare to interrupt without permission.

After about a minute, Andu felt the temperature of the Ring Measuring Stone no longer slowly increase, and began to imagine it as a dragon.

Walkley looked left and right a little bored, and was about to find a place to sit down and wait slowly, but his wandering eyes suddenly froze, only to see the ring measuring stone in Andu's hand, and suddenly began to emit a large amount of white mist, this sudden situation made Walkley lose his sense of proportion in an instant.

"This, what's going on?"

As a clergyman who has worked in the church for three years, he knows very well that Andu is very fragile at this time, if he rashly speaks out to stop it, it is very likely to bring extremely serious and terrible consequences to Andu, ranging from serious injuries to serious injuries and even loss of mental control on the spot, resulting in death!

"But I've never seen anything like this before!"

Walkley waited anxiously, the Bible in his hand waving around as he flailed his arms restlessly.

Andu was completely immersed in the spiritual world at this time, the dragon with wings spread was soaring wantonly, circling, with red wings of 100 meters covering the sky above Andu's head, there were two deep scars on his hideous forehead, and in his scarlet eyes were the flames of destruction that destroyed everything, it roared, roared, and the forests began to burn everywhere it passed, the earth was broken, the mountains began to collapse, and the world was like the end of the world.

Andu stood on the scorched black earth, silently watching all this.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a few minutes had passed, Andu suddenly felt a feeling of exhaustion coming from the depths of his brain, and his originally highly concentrated mind suddenly appeared in a trance, everything in front of him quickly faded, the endless grassland turned into gray-brown ground, and the scene in front of him changed back to the ashram room again.

Andu turned around with a vague step, with some tiredness in his eyes, and said to Walkley beside him in a hoarse voice: "Is it over?"

Walkley was stunned, then nodded vigorously, stepped forward and helped Andu, who was almost unstable, and asked, "What did you just think?"

Andu was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, raised his right hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "I thought of the church and some people who were worshipping." ”

Walkley listened and thought for a moment and said, "It should be that the great existence was accidentally involved, so something happened, damn it, I forgot to tell you, I can't fantasize too far ahead." ”

Andu listened to the complaint on the surface, but he didn't care much in his heart, because he already knew this, as for why he still fantasized about the dragon, it was because at the moment he first started the test, Andu already knew that he would definitely pass.

That feeling came very suddenly, although Andu didn't know why, but he could feel it, if he just fantasized about some very ordinary things, Andu even felt that he could maintain that state for a whole day, this was not the first time Andu had used the ring measuring stone, but it was the strongest sense of realism and mastery of Andu.

So Andu didn't think too much, and directly imagined the existence of the highest personality that he could fantasize about below the gods, which is also something that Andu has always wanted to do, but he is not sure to do, because his former self did not have the same clear perception as this time before the test, and this time Andu could feel it before he started, and he could.

Fortunately, it was just an illusion, and Andu's test still passed without danger, and this also made Andu breathe a sigh of relief, at least his spiritual talent did not have any problems in this world.

At the same time, Andu can clearly feel that the spirit contained in himself has an obvious subtle connection with the spirit wandering and scattered in the air, so that he can more clearly perceive the changes that are happening around him, and can manipulate the spirit in his mind to contact and communicate with the spirit wandering in the outside world at will.

Andu didn't experience this feeling in detail, because he was too tired, he was sent by Walkley to the retreat room with a rest area next door, the two exchanged a few words, and after making sure that Andu was not a big problem but a little tired, Walkley left first because he still had his own affairs to deal with.

Lying in the retreat room, on the large white soft bed, Andu could no longer resist the mental fatigue, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

As the minutes ticked by, everything seemed so calm in the quiet retreat room that nothing could be heard except for Andu's faint breathing.

But suddenly, under the bright light, the ring of origin on Andu's hand began to flicker irregularly and violently, and the ring itself began to undergo abstract changes with the continuous flickering of light, and the unique pattern that was originally full of life began to become more complex and changeable, and the silver quaint ring body gradually diverged and contracted, and finally gradually solidified.

As the ring gradually solidified, the ring no longer flickered, and when it looked at it again, the entire Origin Ring was gradually illusory and faded without warning, and finally turned into a faint milky white light, which merged into Andu's left ring finger.

Once again, the room was calm, except that there was one less ring than before.
