"I have never wanted you to come into contact with the content of God's prophecies. Many times, I prefer that you can live your life quietly as an ordinary person." Master Ibel faced Reid. Talking freely: "So, I basically don't care about your affairs."
When Reid heard this, his face turned red. Indeed, Master Ibel basically didn't care much about his only student. This is why Reid is not outstanding in terms of strength or position in the Church of Light. Lei De used to think that Master Ibel didn't appreciate him very much, so sometimes he even gave up on himself, such as drinking, etc.
"What makes me gratified is that although you have some minor flaws in your character and life, you have always been able to maintain your faith in the gods of light and have never lost your way in the past twenty years." Master Ibel said with a smile. : "It seems that I did something wrong in this matter, and I want to apologize to you."
"Ah, teacher, this..." For the first time in Reid's life, he heard the always majestic Master Ibel say such words, and he suddenly became incoherent. Ryan and Allen looked at each other, and a bad thought suddenly appeared in their hearts. thoughts,
"As for the great prophecy, it can be said that this is the most powerful force of order on this continent. Originally, this magic was given by the God of Light to his only agent on this continent, that is, the Pope. However, later because of human beings themselves With the rise of power, the title of Pope gradually disappeared, and the great prophecy was no longer passed down."
"Two hundred years ago, mankind encountered the most powerful crisis in history. Tens of millions of undead swept across the entire continent. It was a terrible catastrophe. The human hero Fernando I and others finally defeated the undead army by relying on light. The power of the gods, whether it was the Holy Knight Fernando, a believer in the God of War, or the Archmage Meren, a believer in the God of Wisdom, all borrowed the power of the gods without exception. When that catastrophe was over, Archbishop Nebiro, well, at that time He was just an ordinary priest. Archbishop Nebiro traveled throughout the continent, spreading God's blessings to every land. Perhaps it was at that time that Archbishop Nebiro actually received the inheritance of the Pope and had The kind of power that can change the laws of this world is one of the most original powers."
"One." Ryan was keenly aware of the flaw in Ibel's words and asked, "Are there others?"
"Of course, Ryan." Ibel took a slight breath and continued: "There are two kinds of original power. One is the power of order. The essence of this power lies in formulating laws, and everything will run according to this law. Under this, even if the supreme God of Light comes to our plane, I mean hypothetically, then he must abide by the laws of this plane, even if this law is made by himself, and the other power is chaos, or Call it the power of destruction, the essence of this power is to destroy everything."
"Okay, let's go back to the previous topic." Ibel's tone seemed to be much weaker, and his voice slowed down a lot: "No matter what kind of power it is, it is not something that mortals in our plane can do at will. If someone truly masters either of these two powers, he will break away from the category of ordinary people and approach the power of God step by step. This is just like when we are climbing a mountain. When we are at the foot of the mountain, we We can only see what is in front of us, but when we stand on the top of the mountain, we will have a clear view of everything around us, and this process of climbing the mountain is a process of gradually increasing our strength."
After listening to Ibel's words, Ryan was full of questions and couldn't help but ask: "The process of climbing a mountain is the process of improving strength. So how do we know where to climb is the right path? How do we know that our current strength has reached To what extent, how far is it from the top of the mountain?”
"Haha, this is why having a good teacher will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course a teacher standing on the mountainside will tell you how to climb to reach his position faster. As for strength, it is difficult to define a standard. Just like you Ryan yourself, according to the rating of the Magic Guild, you are just a magic apprentice, but are you really just a magic apprentice?"
Seeing Ryan's embarrassed look, Ibel said with a smile: "I remember you once said that being low-key does not mean swallowing your anger, but constantly improving your strength and always letting others underestimate yourself. This sentence is very good. Only then It is a correct attitude. Ryan, Allen, and Red, you must keep in mind that there is no end to the improvement of strength. The process of climbing a mountain is boring, lonely, and even painful, but as long as you keep going , after arduous training and severe tests, you will slowly understand the essence of power and control skills. At that time, you will leave the ranks of ordinary people, step into the realm of gods, and become a a legendary person."
"Once you can reach that state, you will naturally have a unique understanding of power, and you will be able to master many legendary abilities. Of course, reaching this point is not the end of the journey. As a legendary figure, your strength is still the same. With the accumulation of time, they will slowly improve and gradually approach the strength of gods. Maybe, even if they reach the realm of gods, they can still continue to improve. At least as far as I know, even the gods of light have master gods and servants. Differences between gods, divine attendants, divine envoys, etc.”
"What I just said is to improve your strength through normal channels. Without exception, these take time, require you to go through the test of life and death, and require you to understand. There are many ways to quickly obtain powerful Power, like me, Archbishop Ibel.”
"My power does not come from my own improvement, but was given to me briefly by the God of Light after I devoutly believed in my main god, the Supreme God of Light. It is undeniable that this method will allow an ordinary person to gain power in a short period of time. I can possess overwhelming power within my body, but my body cannot adapt to that kind of power, so after using that kind of power, it will cause irreparable damage to my body. What I look like now is the worst. A good example.”
"This is why I never want you to get involved in the Church of Light." After Ibel said this, he smiled at Red, and the latter's eyes suddenly became wet, and Red wiped them with one hand. Wiping his eyes, he sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I've been misunderstanding you."
"I'm sorry for you, Red." Ibel shook his head and said, "Not everyone can inherit that kind of power, so in the past 200 years, the first thing every archbishop did after being promoted was to find the next successor. I chose you from so many orphans back then, do you think this is really your luck? I used God's prophecy many times to get this result."
"I understand, teacher." At this point, Reid already understood Ibel's purpose in saying these things today, and he said firmly: "Teacher, please give me your instructions."
"I just said that there is a teacher who can help you climb to the position he has reached faster. The power of that kind of order is simply unimaginable by people in our plane. It is absolutely impossible to comprehend it through our own efforts alone. Well, this requires a medium, a medium that allows you to understand what the power of order is."
"'Praise of Light'." Reid whispered,
"Yes." Ibel said loudly: "There is no difference in content between the book "Praise of Light" spread in the world and the one placed in the worship hall. You can already memorize these contents by heart very early on. , and the one used by Archbishop Nebiro has its own unique power, because there are traces of God’s touch and blessing in that book.”
"The Book of Divine Inspiration."
"Yes, that book contains the power of order placed by God in it. As long as you can open it, you can slowly figure it out and understand it until you can use it freely. Although this secret is only known to the archbishop of each term, But it’s not impossible for others to guess it. I think Henry also guessed this, so he had the courage to cause so many things while I was seriously ill.”
"Reid, as the seventeenth Archbishop of the Church of Light, I appoint you as the eighteenth Archbishop. Now, put your hand on my forehead and let me tell you how to activate that power."
"No." Red stood up all of a sudden and shouted loudly: "Teacher, you can't do this. Your body will get better slowly, so let's wait until later."
"I don't have much time, child." Ibel's tone became quite low: "If you want the entire inheritance of the Church of Light to be broken, if you want Henry to bring the entire Church of Light and the entire human race into the abyss, Just leave.”
"But… "
Ibel closed his eyes, and his tone was so weak that he had to listen carefully to hear it: "Okay, this is a heavy burden for you, just let it disappear from me forever... "
When Red heard Ibel's words, his whole body began to tremble. He stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ibel's forehead little by little. A holy white light burst out from Ibel's face. came out and wrapped Red's whole body in it. The white light became stronger and stronger. Ryan and Allendo sitting aside could no longer see clearly what was going on inside the white light.
"The God of Light created this world. Everything has its own laws of survival. God has created everything and has mastered the laws." Ibel's voice suddenly sounded in the room. The voice became louder and louder, and soon it was heard throughout the room. The sound echoed in the room, and a warmth suddenly emerged in the hearts of Ryan and Alando, as if they were in the sunny spring breeze, indescribably refreshing.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, says God.”
