There are people who truly transcend the boundaries between life and death and bring the dead back to life!
Not only Edward and Alphonse were dumbfounded by what Serena, the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, said, but even the priestess Elena was so surprised that she opened her mouth from ear to ear!
When the soul of the deceased leaves the body and returns to the sea of souls, it means absolute death. In this case, even the most powerful gods in the world cannot resurrect the deceased. The most basic principles expounded in the teachings that Priestess Elena has learned since she was a child are compared to those cults that deceive the ignorant with slogans such as immortality, immortality, reincarnation, etc., and those who believe in the only 'Lord' in the world. The Holy See is the eternal resurrection of the power of God’s kingdom. Priestess Elena also firmly believes that the teachings of the Holy City bluntly state that the alternation of death and life is the correct principle. Otherwise, if all things can live forever, wouldn't it mean that in the end the entire world will become a place where people can no longer live? ocean!
But now the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess has overturned Elena's belief. This is not the chief priest's nonsense, but the chief priest's oracle through the mouth of the god, which makes Elena feel confused for a moment!
"There did once appear in this world an alien that could break the boundary between life and death, but it was not eternal and could not control its own life and death. It had disappeared from the world a long time ago. Even so, it did exist!" Se Lina continued calmly, but everyone could not remain calm like the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Moon Priest Grant interrupted softly and asked: "Priest Selina, is this the will of the goddess Adolma?"
Serena nodded silently and said: "This is indeed my god conveying the oracle to me. I am just conveying the goddess' oracle to you."
Hearing Serena say so confidently, Moon Priest Grant had nothing to say. Although he was one of the three holy priests, Grant still knew that he was still a mortal after all, even though he was favored by the gods. But he could never surpass the gods themselves. Even if the oracle told the most secret information of the Holy City, Grant had no right to stop it.
The chief priest refocused his attention on the two Edward brothers and said: "Edward, Alphonse! The alchemy ability you possess is a power I have never seen before. Even the goddess Adroma cannot fully analyze this power." A system for using this kind of power. You are just as extraordinary as it was before!"
"Excuse me, what kind of person is this extraordinary person like us?" Edward was very interested in the unknown person Serena said. Maybe he came from another world like himself. People from this other world.
It's a pity that Serena shook her head and seemed unable to reveal more information about this to Edward: "There are too many people who covet you in this world. For this reason, I only convey to you the goodwill of the goddess Adolma. The goddess hopes that you can go to the Holy City and be protected by the Supreme God."
This time it was Serena who sent an invitation to the two Edward brothers, but as the spokesperson of the gods, Serena sent an oracle in the form of an invitation, which was more formal than the verbal invitation from Moon Priest Grant. Moreover, receiving the protection of the Supreme God is not just an empty talk. With this amulet, the status of the two brothers in the Holy City will probably be quite high.
But none of this mattered to Edward. Xiaodouzi shook his head and declined the invitation. Priestess Elena sighed regretfully. In Elena's opinion, the two children were still young and probably didn't know. What does it mean to be invited by the Oracle of the Ice and Snow Goddess? Thinking of this, Elena still tried to persuade the two children, but when she saw the moon priest Grant making a gesture to her, Elena finally gave up the idea.
"Sorry~Sister Serena, Al and I both have our own intentions, and we also have a clue about how to restore our bodies┉┉So please forgive us for not being able to accept your kindness." Edward said apologetically. , Xiaodouzi didn't dare to look at Serena's expression, fearing that the stern chief priest would use the 'petrified gaze' that would put him under great pressure!
Serena didn't say anything to Edward's polite rejection and simply replied: "Everyone has their own choice, and there is no need to apologize to me."
Edward smiled and scratched his head. He had a good impression of this beautiful chief priest. Apparently, although Serena looked unsmiling and stern, she was actually a person who respected the wishes of others. As the spokesperson of the gods in the world, he indeed has an extraordinary mind and magnanimity.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a temple attendant walked in after receiving permission from Moon Priest Grant.
"Priest Grant, there is a lady named Miria outside the temple looking for two guests, Edward and Alphonse. She seems to have something very urgent."
Miriya! ! Edward jumped up from his chair. He had left a note before, saying that he was going to the temple to check information. Although Miria often warned herself and her brother not to have too much to do with the temple, there was no real force. Limiting the freedom of himself and Al, not to mention that Miria will personally come to arrest people this time. I'm afraid ┉┉Milia is quite angry this time.
Wait┉┉Maybe it’s really an emergency! Edward still thought about it with luck.
Now that the parents have come to the door, the meeting has to end here. Priestess Elena asked Tia to send the two brothers out. Moon Priest Grant also followed the two brothers out curiously. Grant also wanted to see if this Ms. Miria was an alchemist like Edward and Alphonse.
Grant actually saw Ms. Miria outside the door. Different from the older and erudite scholar he imagined, this Miria woman was very tall and handsome in appearance. She was wearing a decent armor. The huge two-handed sword on her back made her look heroic. Moon Priest Grant couldn't help but take a second look, but he didn't see Miria's strength. In Grant's opinion, Ms. Miria was not powerful. It was very bad, so bad that she couldn't feel even half of the power fluctuation, or she was very good at hiding her strength.
When Miria grabbed the two brothers into the carriage and thanked Priest Grant, the chief priest Serena in the room stared at Miria closely. Serena couldn't help but hold her hand tightly. But she soon let go. From her eyes, it could be seen that Serena seemed to be hesitating in her heart. It wasn't until the carriage carrying the three people left her sight that Serena left the window.
Just now, Serena always felt that the female warrior named Miria seemed to exude a trace of demonic aura belonging to the abyss, but the feeling was always vague and could not be determined!
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
In the temple, in the prayer hall of the ice and snow goddess Adolma, the chief priest Serena, who is dressed in white robes, is quietly kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess Adolma and praying devoutly, with her long silver hair falling down to her waist. Kailai threw herself on the ground, like the most holy saint in the world, silently praying for all good things. This is a perfect picture that even the most talented painter cannot describe on the scroll. .
The door of the prayer hall was slowly pushed open. Serena was still praying quietly without any discomfort at being disturbed. The visitor also stood quietly and waited for the chief priest to complete his work.
After the prayer, Serena stood up and looked up at the statue of the goddess to perform the last rituals: "I know you are confused, Priestess Elena."
"Yes, Lord Priest, I am indeed very confused!"
Elena did not defend herself but simply stated her true thoughts. The teachings of the Holy City allow dissent without anyone deliberately concealing their true thoughts. All issues can be raised and discussed as long as they are not malicious and blasphemous. : "The alternation of life and death is the rule of this world. The ethereal word eternity only appears in the teachings of the five supreme gods to describe death. Even the supreme gods are unwilling to use this word to decorate themselves! That's right! Because of this, I have always believed that the teachings of the Holy City are the most correct! But now someone who can break eternity appears, so why┉┉"
"Why don't the teachings want to reveal this news!" The chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess looked at Elena and sighed. The chief priest walked to the window and looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky. He comforted the priestess in a calm tone: "Did you say that? Wrong, Priestess Elena, the alternation of life and death is the most basic principle in this world. Once the boundary between life and death is broken, it will bring unimaginable disaster to the entire world. "
"That's why the gods don't allow this to happen, right?" Elena sighed and said.
"The relationship between gods and mortals is one of mutual need and dependence, not dominance and being dominated, nor giving and being given. The belief of mortals is the foundation of the existence of gods. In return, gods should work hard to push the entire world forward! And those who are for themselves The evil gods who have the power to fabricate lies and use force to eliminate unbelievers, and intend to freeze the whole world and stop moving forward, have disappeared in the river of time." Serena raised her head and stared at the sculpture of the goddess, with a rare hint of emotion in her tone. There was a hint of excitement: "It is the responsibility of the gods to maintain the normal order of the entire world. Any existence that attempts to destroy this order and bring disaster to the entire world must be eliminated. Because of this, breaking the boundaries between life and death and resurrecting the dead Force cannot allow it to continue to exist.”
"┉┉┉┉" Elena was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and silently stared at the chief priest without saying a word.
"Can you understand the difficulties of the five supreme gods? Priestess Elena, the gods do not want to deceive anyone, but in order for the entire world to continue to develop and move forward, the gods also need to perform some necessary evil deeds!"
