“Then perhaps there would be no more war.”
"Archibald, Archibald."
The infant prince looked at the excited crowd curiously, not knowing that such high hopes were placed on his future.
In the third year after Archibald was born, a boy with top-level light qualifications was born in a village. His name was Su Luo. As soon as he was born, he was taken to the Central Church by the priests to be raised.
He was born with top-level talent for light. He is the most beloved human being by the God of Light. In the future, he will definitely become the best high priest and the most powerful helper in fighting against the forces of darkness. Su Luo did not disappoint the teachings of the priests of light. He had a strong comprehension ability when learning light spells. At the age of seven, he had the strength of a priest of light. He could even perform the Great Light Spell independently.
Such strength amazed all the priests of light, including the people of the Kangli Kingdom. With everyone's approval, the young Su Luo became the youngest son of God in the Central Church. His future was bright. If his strength reached its peak, he might be taken to the temple by the God of Light and become a messenger of God with a long life.
However, despite everyone's expectations, the strength of this Saint Son seemed to have stagnated. From the age of seven to sixteen, his strength remained stagnant. During this period, he attacked the High Priest of Light more than a dozen times, but failed once, and even nearly fell below the level of the High Priest of Light.
The most famous Son of God has gone from being a pride to a worry over the years, which makes the praise he once received seem like a joke.
Under the statue in the main hall of the Central Church sat a cross-legged, imageless young man. He had blond hair, blue eyes, snow-white skin, and bright red lips. He was wearing a white priest robe, making him look as beautiful as an elf.
And when he looked very much like the only dragon knight from hundreds of years ago, people placed great hopes on him.
"I'm only sixteen this year, which means I'm still underage in our place. How can my future be hopeless?" The boy sat there without any image, and his complaints were not elegant, but because of his clear voice, it didn't sound offensive.
"He looks like a dragon rider. Good fellow! I could have eight hundred of those dragons, and I could even tame them. But when the dragon kicked me, I didn't even know where I was before I was reduced to dust. I've told you eight hundred times that you're not a descendant of a dragon rider, but you didn't listen!"
"Do you know why I can't break through to the High Priest? It's because of the barrier you, the God of Light, set. Without faith, I can't break through to the High Priest. It's obvious that they're brainwashing me. I'm a human being in the new social world of the technological age, and I only believe in myself!"
He muttered to himself for a long time, then suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, wailing: "How can I have faith? Can I be forced to believe if I don't believe? Others travel through time and are reborn to be cool and arrogant, but when it comes to me, I first look like a slave, and then I'm not allowed to break through because I have no faith. Believing in the God of Light or the God of Darkness is so cool..."
"Su Luo." The bishop's voice came from outside.
The young man who was crawling on the ground just now suddenly knelt up very straight and straightened his priest robe which was a little messy. When the bishop came to him, he had already put on an image of piousness and compassion.
Anyone who wants to be the Son of God, even if he doesn't volunteer to be the Son of God, must have a high standard and not speak hastily. Once he blurts out something, his image will be ruined.
"Bishop." Su Luo opened his eyes and looked at him, "Why are you here?"
"Su Luo, don't be hasty in attacking the high priest." The bishop knelt on the mat beside him, straightened his clothes and said, "Once you are anxious, you will fail to do anything well. You are still young, don't pay attention to what those people say."
"Yes, my heart is toward the light. I will not pay attention to those filthy words. They cannot get close to me." Su Luo clasped his hands and looked at the statue in the main hall. "The God of Light will also purify those filthy words and people's hearts."
"Su Luo, you are the most pious. You will definitely become the best high priest." The bishop touched his head and said.
"Thank you for your encouragement. I am deeply grateful." Su Luo looked up at him and said, "I will definitely tell the Lord God of Light about your kindness and tolerance. You are the best bishop."
"My dear Su Luo, you are such a lovely child. In addition to encouraging you, I also want to tell you another thing. The small town of Conrod in the south has been infected by evil spirits. You are an adult now. Instead of staying in the Holy See to practice hardship, you might as well go and expel the evil spirits there." said the bishop.
Su Luo's heart suddenly became full of energy, but his tone was still slow and leisurely: "I am very willing to contribute my own strength to the people of Kangli Kingdom and spread the blessings of the Lord God of Light."
"Good boy, I will prepare everything for you." The bishop said gently.
He prayed with Su Luo for a while before getting up and leaving. When Su Luo was the only one left in the main hall, the young man, who had been kneeling straight, pulled over a nearby mat and lay on his back in front of the statue. "Kneeling every day is killing me. I've been locked up for over ten years. I can finally get out. I'm coming to the free air."
"Your Highness?" The maidservant walked in and saw the awe-inspiring and inviolable Holy Son with a hint of confusion. "It seemed like someone else was talking just now?"
"I'm the only one here. You might have heard the voice of the God of Light." Su Luo said slowly, "Lina is such a lucky child."
"Really?!" The maid immediately forgot her impression that the voice sounded like the Son of God. She looked at the statue devoutly and said, "Lord God of Light, you are so kind that you are willing to let a humble person like me hear your voice. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you to repay your kindness."
Su Luo was astonished as he listened to this. Even a maid had more faith than him, but sorry, he didn't have this kind of faith that would put himself in the dust!
In his time, it was common for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun. It is better to rely on oneself than to believe in a god of light who may or may not fulfill one's wishes.
"Lina, you are such a pious child." Su Luo said, "What are you doing here?"
"His Highness Archibald has come and said he wants to see you." Admiration flashed in the maid's eyes.
That little devil who mixed mud with holy water is back? Su Luo stood up and said, "Okay, please let me take a shower and change clothes, you go and invite him..."
"Su Luo." A hearty voice sounded from outside the hall.
When Su Luo turned his head to look, his pupils dilated for a moment. The young man standing at the door was wearing a prince's outfit that fit his figure very well, with a sword on his waist. He looked very handsome and imposing.
Who are you, handsome guy?
