Chapter 186 Flexible Faith
Oracles are rare, warm-blooded species that cold-blooded species are willing to approach.
The most famous of these are the Truthsayer Druids on the island of Albion, who are staunch guardians of the ancient relics.
The magic toad revealed to them the secrets of magic, and these mortals could even drive giants to move the Ogham stones to maintain the nodes of the great guardian.
The Ogham Stonehenge can restrain the winds of magic and resist chaos.
In Lynch's memory, the "Great Unifier" Bilak once plotted against Stonehenge, trying to destroy the stones and reshape them.
Many truth tellers were tempted to fall, and those who adhered to order summoned warriors from the old world to fight a decisive battle with their fallen brethren.
This is the "Shadow of Orbion" incident.
In the final battle, many beings who were bewitched by Bilak discovered that they had been deceived, and fought against other heretics under the "Lord of Darkness", and were eventually defeated by the Alliance of Order.
Now, the Truthsayers, exiled for their mistakes, live in seclusion in the Old World, hunting down their fallen kin.
Rumor has it that Bilak has not yet given up his plans for the Stonehenge on Albion Island.
Lynch was sure that the hot-blooded creature in front of him was not a Truth Speaker. The Truth Speakers were a unique race on the Island of Albian. They had red hair, blue spiral tattoos on their bodies, and were all muscular savages.
They derive their unique magical powers from the three-branch pattern and are special oracles.
The human in front of him looked so weak that he couldn't even beat a big guy.
What's even stranger is that this guy was wearing the black robe of a Morel priest, carrying Morel's scythe of death, and carrying a Morel holy book "Elegy of the Raven".
Lynch controlled the hovercraft and approached the extremely depressed-looking humans on the sailing ship.
On the White Dove, Eugen More's servant stared blankly at the pyramid spaceship approaching the sailboat.
There is no doubt that this is a creation of the ancient saints, and its owner must have a close connection with the ancient saints.
After the excitement comes deep despair.
It was almost there. If he had met the demon a little later, he could have sneaked into the pyramid's suspension engine and taken the opportunity to awaken and become a powerful wizard.
He could go back to the old world and be a wise man guiding young people everywhere, or go looking for legends that have yet to rise.
In my spare time, I would scare ten-year-old kids and sneak into various churches to experience the customs of different religions.
Now, he could only pray to the owner of the pyramid to give him a quick death. Eugen didn't want to plunge into chaos.
The grieving oracle opened his arms and pondered his last words. He had to leave a deep enough impression on the last creature he saw to prove that Eugen had been to this world.
The door on the top of the pyramid opened in an instant, and a Thoros walked out.
Eugen was sure that this was a Thoros. Shijiank was not so tall and Krasigor was not so short. He was not a stupid Imperial who would mistake the other's species.
Eugen closed his eyes. He couldn't think of any good last words, so he just waited for Thoreau to execute him.
If the person who came was a skin lizard, it meant that Eugen could still be saved, but the person who came was a professional warrior Thoros, and his purpose was self-evident.
Eugen opened his eyes slightly in sadness. The owner of the pyramid engine was so cold-blooded that he didn't even want to communicate and directly sent Thoros.
A cold gaze was staring at Eugen. His long wait did not lead to a bloody end, but instead made the owner of that gaze have a strange look on his face.
Lynch wasn't sure if there was something wrong with this oracle's brain.
Perhaps all hot-blooded oracles were like this, driven mad by the few words left by the old saints?
Teclis walked out of the top of the pyramid sleepily, looking at the two opposing parties curiously.
When he discovered that humans possessed extremely special magical powers, his interest was aroused. He quickly walked down the pyramid to closely observe this rare oracle who understood power.
Eugen was startled by another visitor, and when he found out that it was an elf, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Are you kidding me? How can a cold-blooded person be mixed up with an Asur?
When he found that the other party's attire was extremely similar to a special character in his memory, the Oracle, who should have closed his eyes and waited for death, couldn't help but ask: "Tigris?"
The awkward Elvish language made the wizard smile slightly, and he nodded to confirm the human's guess.
It was only then that Eugen reacted.
It seemed that no one was hostile to him, and he did not seem to be contaminated by Chaos.
Eugen asked this question with gratitude for surviving the disaster and a strong desire to survive.
Both the Lizardmen and Asur looked at the Oracle with pity. It seemed that this guy was really not normal.
As an apprentice of the Ancient Saint, couldn't he see the purity in himself? Suddenly, the Oracle, beaming with joy, circled around the Lizardman and Asur twice to vent his joy, and introduced himself to them.
"Eugen. Servant of the Ancient Saint."
An oracle from the Old World was persecuted by the Empire's witch hunters because of his steadfast belief in the ancient saints. He had to hide his identity and disguise himself as Pastor Moore.
No one believed his lies! Neither the Great Master nor Lin Qi saw any signs of suffering on the human. On the contrary, he looked extremely healthy, with abnormally tender skin.
This is of course not true. Before this, Eugen had been the "Servant of Mermitia" in Tilia, and became the "Servant of Ersun" in Kislev.
However, his belief in the ancient saints is sincere, because the ways of the ancient saints can really bring him unparalleled power.
This is something Thaksin could not achieve even after ten years of hard work.
In any case, Lynch accepted this ancient saint evangelist.
Because when the oracle truly exerts his power, consciousness does not belong to him.
At that time, a Slan will use this body to remotely control magic.
If Slann did not lend a helping hand, the oracle's own magical power would not be worth taking seriously, although an awakened oracle is considered a leader among human wizards and can be compared to every elven wizard who graduated from the White Tower.
So it doesn't matter whether he is pious or not.
All oracles, whether voluntarily or forced, will eventually be guided by some unknown force to the battlefield against Chaos.
As long as they put into practice the whispers in their ears and start walking the path of the ancient saints.
Only the most powerful demons have the chance to bewitch them and make them serve the demon in ignorance.
But unless they really throw themselves into the darkness, they will wake up sooner or later, because there are always whispers reminding them and leading them back to the light.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter if he really believes in Mor, because this hot-blooded creature will arrive at the battlefield to fight against Chaos and defend the ancient relics anyway.
Lynch and the Archmage took the nervous guy back to the pyramid engine.
