"Did the mission fail?" The archbishop looked at the herald who came to report from below, and nodded.
The Archbishop is a kind-hearted old man, dry and thin, and extremely friendly.
Through the abnormal magic power in the snake's tumor, he roughly judged the scale of the ritual magic. To be on the safe side, he sent three red sun knights and five excellent night watchmen, but he did not expect that there would be a spoiler, buried those people.
"Notify their families. Pensions and other subsidies must keep up." The archbishop seemed to think of something, and said with a change of expression: "Warning those people, their belief in God is not a reason for their mistakes."
"If I find out that someone has withheld pensions again, he will be judged. This kind of behavior is tarnishing the glory of God."
"If the children of Crete are talented, they should be sent to the knight training camp. Arda is also the same. They all have families, and life is not easy. Tell other people to take care of them."
"And Rhett has a younger brother named Green, right?" said the Archbishop. The old man knew most of the members of the Sun Shadow Church, and at the same time had a certain understanding of their family conditions. Remember them, and their likes and dislikes.
Some knights were still born and baptized by him, and he also presided over the funeral. Every person he came into contact with, this old man clearly remembered them.
Although the memory of the extraordinary has been strengthened, but how many people and things a person has come into contact with in his life, if he does not really take them to heart, it is difficult to remember them firmly.
"I remember that he didn't become a knight of the church because of his unqualified belief." The archbishop sighed: "The image of the church has affected the belief."
The town of Lore is under the management mode of supremacy of theocracy, but the gods don't care about how to manage a city. One can imagine what kind of thoughts will be given to the insiders of the church who hold all the rights under the premise of only guaranteeing the faith.
Fearing God and believing in God have nothing to do with character.
This also led to reformers within the church. They suggested that character be an important indicator for the selection of church personnel and change the status quo that belief determines everything. People's belief in God.
But the resistance of the conservatives is extremely strong. They are those with vested interests. Under the premise of guaranteeing their faith, they can use the power of the church to do whatever they want. How could they be willing to put so many shackles on themselves.
Therefore, their reasons for opposing the reform are also very simple. God’s beliefs cannot be profaned, and human character should not be placed above human beliefs, not even a little bit. Today, the importance of belief can be changed for the sake of character, and tomorrow it can be for other things. Requests for conversion.
In the end, some people with insufficient faith will sit in high positions, which will only damage the interests of the church.
In fact, this is because of a fundamental problem. Although the cultists continue to cause trouble, and various abnormal creatures often appear, everything is under the suppression of the seven righteous gods. Those evil gods can only do some small tricks, but want to It is impossible to turn over.
Precisely because of maintaining such absolute dominance and without too much external pressure, the conservatives can always hold the upper hand.
The archbishop is considered a member of the Reform Party. He expects to see a better church. Some time ago, he just went to the headquarters, and some people dared to deduct the knight's pension because the family members did not want to meet the standard of faith.
"If Green can believe in God, let him return to the order of knights." The archbishop ordered, and then the old man looked at the others and his face became serious: "The matter of the pension is over, let's talk about how to deal with it." Let's deal with the follow-up matters."
"Catch the sinner and send him to the abyss of no regrets!"
Negri wore Green's soul mask to perform a scene of bereavement and remorse.
When he learned that the sinner had not been arrested, he shouted to take revenge on his brother, but his faith still failed to meet the requirements, he couldn't sense the magic network, and he couldn't rejoin the order of knights.
While waiting for the reaction from the outside world, Negri was studying the Book of Serpents he got from Isrig.
There are three kinds of extraordinary power currently displayed in this world.
One is to exchange power from God through faith. Whether it is the blessing of glory or the mark of the red sun, they are all magic arts in essence, but they are solidified on the knight by the bishop-level priest, including the holy water that brings powerful physique to the knight. , is also a product of magic.
The second is the power derived from the blood of evil. People with blood of evil will turn into monsters, and the nature of the power used by the night watchmen is also extracted from monsters.
The last type is the power of magical rituals, and the Book of Snakes belongs to this type.
The foundation of magic rituals lies in the same-track ritual, and the function of the same-track ritual is to allow the user to contact the source of the special power through items containing special power.
For example, the Book of Snakes essentially uses snakes to manufacture snake potions, and finally connects to the snake god through the same track ceremony to obtain the power of the snake god.
Performing a complete ring of rituals allows the user to obtain the corresponding power. After completing a ring of rituals, he will finally get close to the snake god and become a face of the snake god.
In the final analysis, this is nothing more than the power of evil gods. Even if some ritual magic is not opposed to evil gods, it is similar to other spaces such as the underground abyss and the abyss of no regrets.
"This kind of power is not advisable. Step by step on the same track is nothing more than turning yourself into an avatar of the evil god. At most, some self-awareness is the limit." Negri closed the book of snakes and read the contents of the book of snakes bit by bit. Content digestion: "But this kind of thinking is worth learning."
"Power is the evil god, but the knowledge of the same-track ceremony is his own." Negri couldn't help but marvel at the subtleties of the same-track ceremony.
The same track means that the width of the ruts is the same, and here it is extended to connect one's own path with the great existence in order to be close to other existences.
There is a lot of knowledge in it, such as potions, rituals, spells, mysteries, etc. The principles of magic rituals are similar, the difference lies in which great existence is connected.
Of course, in addition to the magic rituals of the same track, there is also a lot of knowledge about how to use the power of the snake god in the book of snakes. For example, using this spell can construct the power of the snake god into a magic. It's about the use of power.
There are also many places that Negri needs to learn.
"In this way, if I know enough about the magic of the same track, my idea will be successful." Negri nodded his head with one hand and thought: "In addition, the things obtained from the dragons and Shenna can also be synthesized. Into my strength, completely make up for my weakness without root."
