Chapter 121: The Power of God
After shouting that, Kesriel began to regret it. Although Rogoff was usually just a harmless magic scholar with a stubborn and old-fashioned personality.
But this cannot hide the fact that Rogoff is the strongest in their fleet.
Rogoff's profound magical knowledge and mastery of the third-order humane rules have earned him a very high status within the Church of the Turbid World.
Without thinking deeply, Ksriel hurriedly activated his magic power and wanted to run away, as if he would have to face a flood or a beast if he didn't run away.
"Ksriel, if you continue to be so rude, I will definitely tear your body apart next time!"
Rogoff's beard twitched, and he looked as serious as an old general lecturing his subordinates on the battlefield.
"Tsk~ Only a fool would stop."
"I won't bother with you for now." Kesriel stroked his showy golden curly hair, retreated five miles, and curled his lips: "I'll leave this foul-mouthed brat to you. Boring."
You just said you were shy and allergic to men?
Oh!
If it weren't for Lin Luo's identity as the Chosen One of God, Kesriel would even want to pull out his soul and burn it to death... This is the same as burning at the stake.
As for why the soul?
Of course he was reluctant to destroy that perfect skin.
Kesriel even imagined in his mind the scene where countless noble ladies would go crazy for him after he changed into Lin Luo's body.
He wants to book all the brothels in the holy city!
"Put aside your dangerous idea!" Rogoff saw through Kesril's thoughts, stood in front of Lin Luo, and said to Kesril:
"He is very important to me and to our entire Divine Court!
If you dare to have any evil intentions towards him, I can't guarantee that your soul will not be crushed into pieces by someone, and then picked up by a passing Death Speaker to feed the undead."
The undead are powerful evil spirits without self-awareness, including but not limited to strange creatures such as blood ghosts and skeleton beasts.
As for the Death Speakers, they rely on special magic to drive and even enslave the undead.
Rogoff's threatening words made Kesriel shrink his neck. He knew that this magic madman could definitely do it, and the top leaders of the Divine Court might even cheer him on.
After all, the existence of every chosen one of God is enough to drive the believers in the three lower realms crazy, because this is an existence destined to become a god. Who doesn’t want to improve their favor?
Coincidentally, Kesriel is the latter. He is a go-with-the-flow person and is unwilling to take risks in the upper world, so he doesn't care much about Lin Luo's identity.
He just wants to live a happy life.
Kesriel didn't want to ruin the rest of his life, so he looked away and used his mental power to observe his new body, not daring to interrupt.
He and Rogoff didn't have much in common, but somehow, this old man who devoted himself to studying magic suddenly became fascinated with sacred arts in the last hundred years.
But everyone knows that this is the exclusive domain of the gods.
In the process of creating holy arts, if there is no divine power to guide the rules, the so-called "holy arts" created by Rogoff can only be pseudo-holy arts.
It will not be recognized by the world's rules.
Therefore, not only did Ksriel think he was dreaming, but most people in the Vatican were secretly laughing at him.
However, Rogoff acted as if he didn't hear what these people said, and turned a deaf ear to them, completely obsessed with the study of sacred arts.
What’s even more bizarre is that the top leaders of the Divine Court also cooperated with him in making trouble.
For example, the bloodthirsty thorns used to collect divine energy were the product of his cooperation with the higher-ups.
There were originally three magic plants, but now there are only two left.
Kesriel felt sorry for the resources consumed by the magic plants, and what made him even more unhappy was... the kid in front of him actually absorbed the divine energy of the magic plants.
It’s so enviable...oh no, it’s disgusting!
Lin Luo looked at the troubled Kesriel, with a constipated look on his face, and secretly gave him a look of contempt:
“That’s it?
Where's your high spirits just now? How come you collapsed after just three seconds of being tough? "
Kesriel noticed the middle finger on his hand, and although he didn't know what it meant, he felt inexplicably angry.
He stole a glance at Rogoff, but he finally swallowed it.
Damn! Seeing this guy makes me feel bad!
Rogoff naturally noticed the interaction between the two and ignored the furious Kesriel. He gently asked Lin Luo, "Your Excellency the Chosen One, was that a divine act just now?"
"Good fellow, the Chosen One? Your Excellency?"
Even using honorifics, did this old man misunderstand something again?
Lin Luo narrowed his eyes, did not refute, and nodded slightly, which was regarded as an approval of Rogoff's guess.
"First, fool them and find the right time to slip away."
Moreover, this old man's idea is not bad for me. With the identity of God's Chosen One, I can pass this difficult hurdle smoothly.
As Lin Luo was thinking, he suddenly frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "No, I have to create an opportunity to escape quickly, in case some big boss finds out that I am an imposter on the way.
It's definitely over!
Looking at Lin Luo's performance, Rogoff thought that he was in a bad mood and immediately thought to himself that something was wrong.
It was all my fault for being too impulsive just now, wanting to confirm Lin Luo's identity as the Chosen One.
He hurriedly explained: "Sir, I just want to explore your talent and bone age, I really don't have any other ideas!
I have no intention of offending the majesty of His Majesty the God.
As a fellow believer of His Majesty the God of Death, please speak a few good words for me in front of His Majesty behind you. Look at this..."
As he spoke, Rogoff's hand "inadvertently" slipped, and an ancient parchment book fell out of the space ring. He picked it up and "casually" flipped through it in front of Lin Luo.
Page 1: Basics of Fire Magic
Page 2: Low-level use of mental power
Page 3: Preliminary Theory of Space Magic
…
Every page is filled with textbook-like theoretical knowledge; this book can be called an encyclopedia of basic magic!
Lin Luo was engrossed in reading when Rogoff suddenly closed the book.
"Your Highness, please allow me to address you as such." Rogoff believed that he had confirmed Lin Luo's identity as the "Chosen One" and should use the formal title.
"Your Highness, this magic notebook records my understanding of various types of magic in my early years. It should be of some help to your magic practice.
Please accept it!"
In his opinion, using magic notes to scare a young magician like Lin Luo who was "inexperienced in the world" would definitely be successful.
After all, the gods would not be so bored as to teach their chosen ones step by step. Below a certain level, their chosen ones are left to their own devices.
In addition to providing necessary treasures, it will only appear when the Chosen One is in crisis.
Sure enough, Lin Luo's eyes were wandering, as if he was on guard, and he looked at the magic note in Rogoff's hand from time to time.
"Ahem, this matter... is not impossible." Lin Luo took away the parchment book that Rogoff was holding tightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has given me a part of divine power, which can only be used when I am in danger.
So, if you think that it was His Majesty who was helping me just now, you can understand it that way.
I might be able to mention your name occasionally in the future, but I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be.”
Lin Luo was grinning in his heart. If the two old foxes, Rogoff and Ksriel, were not still there, he would have wanted to applaud.
I got a "skill book" for no reason, and it has most of the skill illustrations opened.
Good man!
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness!"
With Lin Luo's assurance, Rogoff breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he might be able to leave a good impression of caring for the younger generation in front of the gods.
He totally didn't believe Lin Luo's words that the gods weren't there. Maybe the gods were watching behind Lin Luo?
Even though that god was not the God of Death, he was still ahead of Rogoff.
If he could please this god, Rogoff wouldn't mind being a bootlicker.
For a god who can occupy a place at the top of the avenue of rules, it would be easy for him to punish mortals like them.
If the gods are willing, they can even use their divine thoughts to block the door to the rules of Shinto, so that extraordinary people can never touch the rules of Shinto and become gods.
Abbreviated as "Forsaken by God".
Unless the trapped person is able to kill a god, he can only wait for the moment of death from old age for a long time.
On the contrary, for those who are favored by gods and may receive help from gods, their chances of becoming gods will be greatly increased.
And Rogoff wants to become the one favored by God!
"Short-sighted Ksriel, His Majesty is bound to hate you."
Rogoff cursed in his heart with disdain, and then he was ecstatic: "Hahahaha..."
This is the work of God!
With His Highness here, when I reach the upper realm, won’t I be able to read all kinds of magic books at my disposal?
See who dares to stop me!
