The Peak of the Holy Family.
Strong power of faith, vast square, magnificent angel sculpture.
Looking at the familiar scenery, Chen Rui couldn't help feeling something in his heart.
The last time he came here, he used the identity of "Paul's follower", and he became the Guardian Knight of the Holy Light under false pretenses. In addition to getting the Xuedalai flower that saved Yi Ni, at that time, he also harvested one of the most important people in his life, little phoenix Duoduo.
"Your Majesty Arthur?" Udora's voice brought Chen Rui back to his senses.
"Your Majesty Yudora." Chen Rui showed an apologetic look, "Just now I was shocked by the power released by the statue of Lord Raphael, and I lost my composure for a while, please forgive my rudeness."
"Master Raphael's glory shines on the entire Holy Family Peak, and you can feel the powerful blessing close to God everywhere." Hearing Raphael's name, Yudora dared not neglect: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so restrained. You are the holy son handpicked by Lord Raphael, and you have an ancient inheritance beyond imagination. It is only a matter of time before you become the next pope. The existence of it becomes more and more brilliant.”
"Your Majesty has won the award, and I will ask Your Majesty for your advice in the future." Chen Rui bowed slightly to Youdora, which was already quite a formal etiquette.
Although there is no official canonization, the top leaders of the church are well aware that "Arthur" has been favored by the supreme angel Raphael, and can even enter the highest forbidden place of the Holy Mountain of Light, the Temple of Light. Not to mention the Holy Son, even the throne of the Pope is in his pocket. In terms of current actual status, he is definitely not under the two Patriarchs Eudora and Pushmir.
"My Majesty and I belong to the same lineage of the holy family, so there is no need to be so polite. Let's go." Behind the veil of the saint, there seemed to be a slight smile, and there was a kind of demeanor in the holiness.
Youdora is extremely slender, even taller than Chen Rui, with blue hair and blue eyes, exuding an ethereal aura, as if she had come out of the world independently.
When Chen Rui saw Yudora for the first time, he had a vague sense of familiarity, and now he finally understands the reason.
Because of Tiffany.
Eudora and Tiffany's temperament are somewhat similar. Tiffany has a dual personality. The one who is similar to Eudora is not the girl who looks a bit cute at the Blood Fiend Empire Trade Fair, but the girl who appeared in Secrede. Shan that "disciple of Satan". In comparison, that Tiffany is a bit colder and more aloof, while the saint Eudora feels more friendly, and people who come into contact with her will involuntarily feel close, but they dare not give birth to profane ones. idea.
Along with Eudora, the saint's disciple, the half-elf Miranda who had a brief encounter with Chen Rui, and some main knights and members of the Temple of the Holy Family came to greet her. The strange thing is, I didn't see the Tiffany I wanted to see the most.
Chen Rui followed Youdora all the way to the Palace of the Holy Family, and took a seat in the hall. Youdora introduced the general situation of the entire White Cliff and the personnel and facilities of this Holy Family Peak to Chen Rui, including Some links and etiquette that should be paid attention to in the canonization ceremony.
Although Eudora's tone and attitude have always remained neither humble nor overbearing, it gives people a very comfortable feeling, like a spring breeze.
"Okay, Your Majesty Arthur, the basic situation is like this," Eudora stood up gracefully, "Master Raphael's biggest purpose for letting you come here is two months... no, it's already less than two months , to be precise, the canonization ceremony will be held fifty-six days later. The canonization ceremony will be held on this holy family peak, and the specific location is Dengyuntai. The current layout of Dengyuntai is actually only the main part completed, just in case One, Your Majesty needs to make an attempt first, please move forward and come with me to Dengyunping."
"Okay." Chen Rui knew that this was the highlight of the day, so he also stood up.
Dengyunping is a wide open space. Although it is not as large as the square where the Raphael statue is, it is much larger than Xuefeng Terrace where the Xuedalai tree was originally located. Construction work is currently underway to build a large platform.
This platform is obviously used to hold the conferring ceremony of the canonization ceremony. It is about two floors high, but its shape is quite peculiar. Judging from the scale of the appearance, about two-thirds of the progress has been completed.
Udora led Chen Rui up to the platform step by step. There was a small building similar to an altar on the platform. Under the building stood ten men dressed as knights.
"Your Majesty Arthur, these ten are the Silver Guardian Knights of the Temple of My Holy Family."
Upon hearing Udora's introduction, all ten knights saluted Chen Rui. Chen Rui nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty must ascend this platform of holy brilliance, and then use the power of the crown of thorns'sacred favor' to transform these ten knights into physiques favored by the power of light."
"This..." Chen Rui frowned, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, although I can use the power of the 'sacred favor' of the crown of thorns to transform an ordinary physique into a light system physique, I have succeeded. The rate is not high, let alone ten knights, even one, it is impossible to succeed at once."
"In God's dictionary, there is no word 'impossible'." Eudora smiled lightly, "For the supreme angel who is closest to God, he also has the magical power to turn 'impossible' into 'possible'. This is The purpose of your visit to the Holy Family Peak today."
Chen Rui frowned, and looked at the Holy Tower: "Could it be that this Holy Tower..."
"That's right, Your Majesty Arthur, now you go up and stand within the red circle. Then, please use your full power of the crown of thorns."
Chen Rui walked up to the Holy Radiance Platform according to his words, and came within the range delimited by a red circle with a diameter of about five meters, with a crystal clear crown of thorns appearing on his head.
This red circle is actually a collection of complex ancient runes. After he walked into the red circle, Yudora seemed to have activated some special power. Chen Rui only felt the special power emanating from the red circle. out, gathering into a string of symbols in the air. These are the handles of the ancient runes. These sentences or phrases are very special. With Chen Rui's level, he can't fully understand the meaning of them. Right now, he can only quickly remember them in his heart and discuss them with Luo La later. .
Those runes were fleeting, turning into a circle of light that enveloped Chen Rui.
Chen Rui felt that in an instant, a strong and powerful power of faith poured into his body, not only the power of faith, but also a more special power. In the soul, there seems to be a strange scene, it seems to be a planet, half is bright, half is dark, day and night alternate, brewing a mysterious and huge aura.
This "fantasy" should be caused by that kind of supernatural power, but the specific scene varies from person to person. The higher the level of oneself, the more able to comprehend the mystery. Chen Rui secretly confirmed it with his own star kingdom, as if There are many new realizations in the subtle places.
However, this kind of comprehension did not last long. Under the impetus of the power of the Holy Radiance Platform, the radiance of the Crown of Thorns instantly became brighter. Favor".
I saw a pure white light covering the bodies of the ten guardian knights in the audience. The auras of these ten knights began to change quickly, and the expressions on their faces were a little painful, as if they were undergoing some kind of transformation process.
The radiance of the crown of thorns lasted for nearly five minutes and then gradually dimmed. The power of the runes in the red circle also disappeared, but the radiance of the ten guardian knights did not disappear, as if they were wrapped in a light cocoon, and they could not see clearly. specific situation.
After about half an hour, the light cocoons gradually solidified, and then cracked one by one.
The hair color of the ten knights all turned silvery white, and they exuded quite mellow light power, and one knight seemed to have become a body of light.
"Great!" Udora showed joy, "Your Majesty Arthur, you have successfully transformed ten guardian knights."
Chen Rui let out a long breath, with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes, and slowly stepped off the stage: "This is all thanks to the magical power of this holy platform. If it weren't for it, I would definitely not be able to succeed."
"Your Majesty Arthur is too humble. Your performance is much stronger than I expected, even quite perfect. You have integrated the power of the Holy Radiance Platform so quickly and successfully transformed it in one go." You Dora's eyes fell on the guardian knight who seemed to be the body of the light, "By the way... my most loyal knight Sandro, the light breath on your body is very pure, and you can go to the astrology hall at the peak of the stars to do it later." A test, if you become a body of light, you will be directly promoted to Holy Light Guardian Knight, and I will report to Lord Raphael to let you participate in the next selection of candidate saints."
Sandro, who was hit by good luck, was overjoyed, and thanked Yudora and Chen Rui excitedly. After the ten knights left, Yudora said again: "Your Majesty Arthur, you may have discovered , the increased power of the Holy Radiance Tower is closely related to the strength of the owner of the Crown of Thorns. I would venture to say that although the ten knights were successfully transformed just now, if there were a hundred knights, I am afraid that the current strength of the crown is still not enough. It is far from enough. Therefore, please don’t be complacent, Your Majesty, you must continue to work hard to practice and integrate the power of ancient civilizations to ensure that there is nothing wrong with the canonization ceremony.”
"I understand, thank you for your reminder and encouragement, I will definitely keep it in mind, and I will not disappoint Lord Raphael's expectations." Chen Rui said, looking at the platform of Shenghui, showing curiosity: "Eudora Your Majesty, can I ask you something?"
Yudora smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please speak directly."
"I have obtained the inheritance of ancient civilization, and a considerable part of it is related to the magic circle. This holy platform contains the mystery of ancient rune power, which is equivalent to a complicated formation," Chen Rui looked at the surrounding facilities carefully. "This formation should be based on something as the source, which stimulates special powers to increase the power of faith and light, especially the power of holy objects. I feel that this 'source' is very special, and it seems to be very important for my spiritual imprint fusion and The increase in strength has special benefits, can Your Majesty tell me, what is the power of this 'source'?"
"Unexpectedly, His Majesty Arthur is still a master of the magic circle? Or... a master?" Seeing that Chen Rui did not deny it, Yudora was slightly moved, "I am not proficient in magic circles, this is the master Raphael personally set it up. As for the 'source' that His Majesty asked about, it involves a recent incident at the Peak of the Holy Family, which is actually... a person."
"Alone!" Chen Rui's pupils shrank suddenly. When he felt the alternate light and dark planet in the illusion, he felt something was wrong. Now that he heard Udora's answer, an ominous omen immediately appeared. came to mind.
