"The great Enos witnesses, we only offer our most humble blessings. The lost lamb, you can come forward to receive the holy bread and holy blood." Only a sonorous and powerful call was heard. Paladin, who was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, stood in front of the statue of Inos in Adeley Church, and spoke to the devoutly seated believers below.
Mass begins every Sunday. One after another, believers lined up and came to Paladin to kneel respectfully and kissed the ring on Paladin's hand. The ready choir began to sing hymns. Make this moment, the church is full of sacred meaning and atmosphere. The priest and priest who were waiting on the side immediately handed over the white bread and wine. to be eaten by prayers.
"May God bless you." Paladin, who had sent away a believer, suddenly saw that the follower was a young man with a waist below his waist. This young man has thick and beautiful long black hair. The fine fabrics and exquisite tailoring make this young man definitely not an ordinary person. Seeing him, Paladin smiled mildly. "Godfather." The young man looked at Paladin and whispered happily. This boy is Kaleich's beloved son, Uther. Also the godson of Palatine.
Squinting slightly, Paladin saw the casual Kaleich who was standing by the door smiling. Found out that the guy hadn't seen him for a year, with a little white in his hair and beard. Paladin smiled mildly, put the white bread and red wine into the open mouth of Uther, whose face was flushed with red, and pointed to the pot of holy water under the statue, and drew a cross on Uther's forehead and said softly: " May God bless you."
At the same time, while Palatine was presiding in the church, it was thousands of miles away, in a little-known village in the Duchy of Barbary near the Forest of Misty. But a very unusual thing happened. A person exactly like Palatine, with almighty eyes on his forehead, and a man with divine wings flashing behind him, floated above the village, emitting a shocking and dazzling golden light all over his body!
Yes, he is Paladin! Or to be more precise, it is the backbone of the many clones of Paladin, the body! So that means, at this moment, in the church of Adley, thousands of miles away, the person who presides over the mass is just a clone of Palatine separated again? In other words, that pair of ** is just a reorganized torso.
At this moment, Palatine is suspended above this secluded village like a god. Where have the civilians in the village ever seen such a scene? One or two knelt down as if seeing something, looked up at Palatine with their hands folded into fists, and began to recite excitedly "God! Have mercy on my humble servant." What's more, some old men shed hot tears. Watching Paladin wanted to step forward and lick his toes.
"Oh, God has come!" "Mom, what is that!" "Be careful when you speak, this is the supreme true God!" Regardless of whether they were willing or unwilling, all the more than 100 people in the village fell to their knees. On the ground, a series of prayers and atonements were made to the Palatine.
"Sad ants."
Paladin squinted at the human beings kneeling down, his face still calm and indifferent. He slowly stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the crowd below. On the ground above the village, a huge alchemy formation immediately appeared with a bang! Before these people could figure out what was going on, the magic cores of the four elements of the four demon beasts were thrown by Paladin to the four ends of the magic circle. A drop of his own pale golden blood dripped down, the moment the blood dripped onto the ground. The giant formation on the ground including the village immediately made a rumbling sound!
"What's going on!" "Mom, I'm so afraid!" "Don't be afraid, God will not hurt us." Although the mortals below were violent, there was no chaos. Apparently they thought it was impossible for such a divine being to harm them. Obviously, when the skin and muscles of these mortals began to turn to ashes, the original self-righteous idea was completely reduced to a joke.
"Come on, the bright red stone of truth." Paladin muttered to himself, calmly watching those mortals make bursts of screams and wailing sounds, quickly turned into bones, and their flesh and blood disappeared. And the screaming souls were also sucked into the center of the magic circle by a powerful suction, and they were played with flesh and blood, and gathered into a small stone of truth. The screams just now stopped in shock, making people mistakenly think it was an illusion. Paladin waved his hand gently, and the stone of truth immediately flew into Paladin's hand. At the same time, Abel, who was stronger than ever, suddenly ran from outside the village, and his huge claws grabbed a few mummified corpses and sent them to his mouth. The sound of crunching and swallowing, making people shudder.
I saw a flash of golden light, and Paladin stepped on the ground instantly. Looking at the hungry Aberley, he frowned and reprimanded: "Why is your appetite getting bigger and bigger... Forget it, hold on here, and see the living creatures eat it." Paladin said, and pushed it away. A door entered the house. Abery stared at Paladin dumbfoundedly with the huge bull's eyes, and then indifferently grabbed two mummified corpses, bit off the upper body and ate it happily. Compared with those who are fierce and deliberate, Abery is a very simple existence. He just needs enough food for him to eat. In this way, Abelia is more friendly and kind than humans and other races.
Paladin, who closed the door with his backhand, sat gently on the ground. The sunlight projected from the window made him feel comfortable for a long time. From his arms, he took out the stone of truth that was refined by the elves before and just harvested, a handful of red stones. The stone of truth with nearly a thousand people's life energy made him feel a little disappointed. Because of this, there are too few.
There is no suspense, when sunlight turns into power and is injected into Paladin's body through the medium of the Stone of Truth. The accustomed pain was of no value to the Paladin now to waste his energy shouting. The insensitive Paladin felt the pain of such an ordinary person's direct dizziness, and calmly looked at the sunlight outside the window.
What is worth noting is that the completely crystallized right hand, at this moment, the crystallized place is climbing slowly like a vine, gradually eroding Paladin's flesh and blood. When the huge amount of the Stone of Truth was consumed, Paladin's right hand, including the right shoulder, had been completely crystallized, and the golden color at the edge was lying on the flesh like a tentacle, which looked very strange.
Slowly, Paladin closed his eyes. Because he knew that he was going to see that mysterious black boy again.
The familiar blank space, the huge Kabbalah tree on the ground. The whole body of Paladin stretched out one arm and stroked the words gluttony on the floor, quietly looking at the black boy who was staring at him outside the circle.
