Chapter 131 Lanqi starts to get crazy
Lichtens Castle, basement chapel.
Silence shrouds the cathedral that is more than ten meters high. The retro stained glass on the dome reflects colorful and mysterious light.
The priest was dressed in a white robe and a silver crown. He looked solemn and sacred. He stood alone in front of the altar with a serious expression and his eyes closed.
The faint light that penetrated the clouds in the afternoon shone onto everyone in the church, giving everything here a golden glow.
There was a solemn silence surrounding the priest, with only the breeze blowing, quietly bringing the low ringing of the church bells.
At this time, the church had been cleaned, and the remains of the original castle owner, Archbishop Caligula, were buried outside the castle, with the priests offering prayers for him.
The priest slowly raised his hand.
"Merciful goddess, please cleanse the deceased's sorrow, pain and confusion, grant him peace, untie his shackles, and send him into the peaceful and bright kingdom of heaven, where he can enjoy happiness in the afterlife."
His voice was deep and loud, echoing between the walls of the church like a warm force.
The words are full of respect and mourning for the deceased, as well as comfort and blessings for the living.
After the priest's prayer, the worldly noise and disturbance had subsided.
a long time.
"Is this the power of divine magic?"
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Canberra could not help but look up and sighed when he saw the faint feathers of light floating on the tomb of Archbishop Caligula outside the window.
By performing this kind of prayer on the dead who died unjustly and freeing their souls, it can prevent the dead with powerful souls from becoming vengeful spirits. It can also prevent evil necromancers from enslaving the souls of the dead or exploring their memories.
As the investigation progressed rapidly and the detective not only changed the mechanism of the shadow world but also disappeared from the map, everyone found that they had no clear goal this afternoon.
The pressure is on the betrayer.
Originally, the traitors had five days to find the witch and the werewolf, but now the time has been shortened to two days.
At the suggestion of the priest, everyone buried the body of Archbishop Caligula first.
Although this is not the real world, the shadow world, as a projection of history, shows that there was indeed such a great priest in history who sacrificed for human freedom and he deserves to be buried.
At the same time, we must also prevent the traitors from possessing intelligence-type necromancy magic and obtaining key information before the beginning of the shadow world from the body of Archbishop Caligula.
So now in the cathedral hall, people gathered together in scattered groups just like in the early morning.
But all fell silent.
No one knew what to do next except wait until the betrayer's turn.
But the atmosphere was not as depressing as it was in the morning.
There were still a few hours until dark.
At that time, the blood masters of the two traitors will awaken, and the traitors will be able to use the power of the blood clan, posing a great threat to all challengers.
"Do you think the chances of the two betrayers being two members of the Resurrection Cult are high?"
Lanqi, who was standing in a corner, suddenly asked.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Looking at his focused eyes, it seemed that he had long wanted to hear other people's opinions.
"There is a high probability. We can directly assume that those who have the motive to cause natural disasters are all believers of the Resurrection, and they are a very bad kind of believers."
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce was the first to answer with great confidence.
"According to statistics from the Shadow World Association of the Southern Continent, among all the Shadow Worlds that have challengers, 98.2% of the challengers who want to cause natural disasters in this world are believers of the Resurrection."
His words surprised everyone in the church.
It turns out that the heir to this big chamber of commerce knows something.
“I see.”
Lanci nodded slowly, turned his head to glance at Hyperion, and briefly met her eyes.
They even knew that the Church of the Resurrection was deliberately sniping at them.
As expected, when they were matching, there were quite a few Resurrectionists also joining the Shadow World at the same time.
Coupled with the double foreshadowing of Hyperion's initial identity as an actress, the 98.2% probability that the Chamber of Commerce young master mentioned based on statistics can almost be increased to 99.9%.
"Mr. Priest, do you think the goddess of fate exists?"
Lanqi looked at the three clergymen from the Northern Continent and raised his doubts.
This kind of jumpy question made the other challengers feel a little confused.
"Although we have no way of knowing how long ago the gods disappeared as if they were integrated into the rules of the world, and no one has ever seen gods in person... they still exist in another way, but they can no longer interfere with the world in the ordinary material way. This is also the reason why we clergy can use divine arts. Our existence can prove their existence."
The priest answered gently.
Often, no matter who asks them questions about God, they will answer patiently.
This is exactly their obligation and responsibility.
“I see.”
Lanci nodded.
He had learned about the divine arts and magic cards of the priest system in the border territory of South Wantina, and his views were similar to those of the priests in the northern continent.
After all, judging from Ranchi's attributes, becoming a priest was originally the best choice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Divine arts are a variation of magic spells, which require reliance on and mobilization of the divine power that gods retain in the world and constitute the world.
Even without using one's own magic power as a starting source, divine arts can still achieve miraculous spell effects.
Therefore, the strength of most pure divine arts will depend on one's own spiritual attributes and degree of faith.
But as a materialist, Lanqi does not believe in God.
Even if he becomes a clergyman, his level of faith will not be high, and being a priest is not the right path for him.
So he decisively became another most healing profession, the white magician.
"Although no matter which of the many good gods one believes in, one can use the divine arts or magic cards of our priest system normally, different gods will bring different additional effects. All of this is consistent with the ancient legend murals that can be pieced together from the thirty-two original stone tablets. Perhaps in an age of gods that is so long ago that we cannot detect it, there were gods active in the world."
The enthusiastic executioner added, "The reason why the most priests and believers in the goddess of fate in the temples of the northern and southern continents today are not because the goddess of fate has the strongest additional effect, but simply because the most people are willing to believe in this benevolent god."
"She has the most myths and stories, and various sayings such as 'the goddess of fate loves all living things equally' and 'she is the only god who can still interfere in the world' are still circulating in the world."
"There is even a legend that the divinity of the goddess of fate is that as long as you pray to her, she will have the power to slightly interfere with your fate. The more devout and the longer you pray, the more your voice will be conveyed to her."
The three clergymen of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny took turns introducing Lanqi.
In this world, swearing an oath to God is a very solemn thing, and people believe that God will hear it.
The oaths made to each god must not be spoken carelessly, as no matter whether these gods still exist or not and whether they can interfere in the world, cause and effect may be formed.
There have been several cases in which the high-ranking members of the Church of Resurrection asked the Goddess of Fate for salvation and thus rebelled, or it was unclear whether they were priests of the Goddess of Fate from the beginning and simply lurked in. Every time, these people who seemed to be favored by fate would cause unimaginable and fatal blows to the Church of Resurrection. It was hard to say whether the Goddess of Fate was interfering with their fate.
This is also the reason why the Church of the Goddess of Destiny and the Church of Resurrection are mortal enemies.
"I understand. Thank you all three."
After listening to this, Lanqi just thanked them politely and did not express his intention to join the church to the three enthusiastic clergymen. Instead, he looked at the people in the church again.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Then, everyone's attention was focused.
"Please chant with me and praise the goddess of fate. If I am a cultist or a vicious betrayer, please guide my fate towards the destruction of the Church of Resurrection!"
Lanci raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and declared in his clear voice.
"……?"
The challengers looked at Lanci in confusion.
Soon people began to understand what Lanqi meant.
Although Lanqi's oath may not necessarily come true, after all, fate is a mysterious thing.
However, the Resurrection Church has an unwritten rule:
If someone has a clear connection with the goddess of fate, it will be difficult for him to be promoted to a higher position.
What the Resurrection Church fears most is the invisible interference of the Goddess of Fate.
Lanqi is actually blocking the future of other Resurrectionists! (End of this chapter)
