Chapter 1138

"Who are we?"

When the little priest is giving a lecture to Loren, the old, tired, but very persistent voice always echoes in his mind .

That's... the voice of Innocent Archbishop.

"Loren, this is a question that every church member will be asked by Archbishop when they come into contact with the Old Scriptures. The answer from the overwhelming majority cannot satisfy the Innocent Master." Weber Low The voice, the low groaning voice and the slightly hollow gaze made the black hair wizard mistakenly think he was talking to himself: "Human? Creature? Preacher? Leader? Shepherd?" Humble servants, members of the church? Nobles with status? Noble people... For so many years, Innocent Archbishop has never heard the answer that pleases him."

"Well, then finally One day, a youngster stood up and said the answer he wanted when he was most disappointed."

Isaac, who shook his head, turned his index finger to the little priest: "And that youngster is you , Right...the standard of genius, such as me."

In the face of friends' ridicule, little priest just smiled humbly.

"No, it's not me." Sorry scratched his head, and Weber whispered: "Because as his personal deacon, I have always served by his side... He knows that I know what he thinks, so He would never ask me this question."

"In the heart of Innocent Archbishop, we are the executors—Holy Cross Church is a prop, and we are part of this prop. Let It exerts its due effect and function, implements the proverbs left by every Holy Cross in the Old Scriptures, and makes the proverbs a'prophecy' that will become a reality."

"Prophecy?" Black hair wizard raises eyebrows.

"Yes, prophecy... In fact, this is basically most of the content recorded in the Old Scriptures-the church has been trying to do this for the thirteenth generation, although it still exists Go in and out." Weber nodded:

"For example, there are records about the fall of Evil God in the Old Classics, and there are also records about the establishment of similar empires. It is mentioned that the church will kill Evil God by beheading. Expelling monsters has become the pillar of faith in the empire. It is mentioned that those who will encounter resistance will fight against Evil God's counterattack..."

"But in the end, the Holy Cross will save the whole world and make everyone sincere and honest. Humble prayers become reality-to be honest, the contents of the "Old Classics" are indeed something like prophecies...no, it is more like a plan or plan, which lists in detail the plan for saving this world. "

"And Archbishop believes that the church is the executor of this'plan' and has the obligation to carry out this plan?" black hair wizard looked thoughtful and asked:

"Well...this is a little bit different from the church in my impression."

"It is true...In fact, I don't really agree with Archbishop's views." The little priest is very pertinent. nodded: "Although I have said to believers that as long as they are pious enough, the Holy Cross will bless our words, but..."

"The saved should first save themselves; relying on the Spiritual descending from the sky God, change the world into another look or force everyone without the slightest hesitation, and accept the faith of the Holy Cross without a trace of doubt... I don’t think that is saved."

" Spread the doctrine, lead others to good, and help the people around them as much as possible while improving their own thoughts, so that they can be protected from disease and hunger, greed and delusions, this is what a follower of the Holy Cross should do; If not, I will..."

slightly paused, the little priest stopped talking.

But Loren already guessed what he wanted to say...If it weren’t, he wouldn’t “betray” Archbishop, which was kind to him, and promote the doctrines he believed to be correct in Byrne.

Isaac, who also remained silent, blinked at the black hair wizard, indicating that he had guessed it too—the genius "educated" by Lena Desalion has made progress in empathy. It's very obvious.

Of course, that must be measured by Isaac rather than the average level of this world.

"In short, as Isaac said, we must use Loren's understanding to understand the content of the "Old Classics"-it is like an official document or a plan, listing very A detailed plan to save the world, and the Holy Cross Church has been implementing this plan so far."

"The thirteenth generation, and even the years before the ancient Sackland kingdom, could not be So." Looking at Loren solemnly, the little priest's expression muttered: "As for what the Holy Cross is...that is the Holy Cross."

"There is no metaphor, no description-He is not omniscient and omnipotent, no The Creator is not another existence, neither higher than us nor lower than us. He is not a conspirator who secretly observes the world, nor a Daoist who saves the world. He...is the Holy Cross."

"I know Many believers regard the Holy Cross as an almighty god, and even many priests think so, but..." Tighten the corners of his lips, Weber shook the head: "He is not. Among the seventy-six letters, there is even one dedicated to The one that means the Holy Cross is enough to explain everything."

"He is the Holy Cross, and only the Holy Cross. Apart from this does not have any nouns or adjectives that can express his existence."

"So before you start to master the Old Classics, Loren, you must first understand this. It is very important; besides... I know that many wizards have a certain prejudice against the Holy Cross, so if you have any questions Just keep each other’s opinions; rest assured, I won’t ask you to change your opinion just to make you believe in religion.”

The little priest who speaks seriously and earnestly did not notice the awkwardness of the black hair wizard and Isaac looking at each other. expression.

They already knew what the Holy Cross was... a long time ago.

"...He is brand new, able to contain the rest of the Evil God into itself, and achieve the point of omniscience and omnipotence through continuous compatibility with the rest of the'existence'......"

"...It is both'order' and'chaos'-it doesn't need images, the nameless king rules over non-existent kingdoms and is above all beings..."

"...No matter what Change, obedience and awe are always lurking in the soul of intelligent life; at first is born in the depths of the soul and will invade its heart at any time-all that is to be done is through such a'sacred and sacred' image, Wake it up..."

"... In the deductions again and again, we finally found the most suitable way and gradually completed the research-according to our deduction, only through the systemization program The spread of transformation can make the'civilian class' completely give up resistance, and even rule the whole world based on this..."

"...The final code name of this research is called'Holy Cross'... "

Really, it's been a long time.

The two of them looked at each other and moved their gazes in other directions "tacitly".

"In the next few days of marching, I will little by little teach you the proverbs that I know about the Old Scriptures; as for the meaning of each letter and the spelling of words and sentences, just Hand it over to Isaac."

While picking up the parchment and plumbing pen, the little priest opened the mouth and said very seriously: "And the first thing we have to learn is the Old Classics "The opening chapter in "is also one of the most important chapters, a fragment of the "Sword of Oath"."

For almost a second, Webber's expression suddenly became solemn and very solemn, as if there was noisy outside the tent. In the camp, the sound ceased instantly:

"Holy Cross

My sword is your scripture, and my blood is your praise

Please Listen to my prayers

To the unbelievers of blasphemers

Send punishment..."

…………………………

In the next few days, Loren, who was "in class" while marching, kept learning about the Old Classics from Isaac and little priest Weber, but the more he studied, the more confused he became.

Because as described by Isaac, the text of the "Old Classics" does not involve any concept of power level at all, and is more like a completely different language; as for the contents of the "Old Classics"... It is indeed only a "monitoring". Although Weber has constantly emphasized the "power" contained in these words of wisdom and instruction, this power is definitely not Void Power.

But... Dean Peter’s research is not wrong. Logan, wearing a hat, indeed completed the compilation of the ancient rune with the help of the "Old Classics" after opening the second valve.

There is no connection between impossible, but I haven't found it yet.

Considering that the Holy Cross is actually an "artificial god" in nature, Loren has a rough guess based on the information now available.

First of all, as Isaac said, the Old Scripture itself has no power. It is like an official document or a code. According to a certain method or ceremony, enter the "code" and send the message to For the Holy Cross, it is up to the Holy Cross to judge whether it should be executed, or whether it should be executed.

In view of the power that this thing has shown in the material world so far, it is mainly reflected in "text" and "Knight", so Loren can only infer that its operation mode may only be this-according to According to the degree of demand, certain “privileges” are delegated to believers in the material world, and then the believers will handle the tasks assigned by them.

As for what the task is... it is written in the Old Classics.

This can explain why the vows of Knight today are less than in the past-because the Holy Cross Church in the past expansion stage had to face a large number of monsters and fallen Evil Gods, and must let the church of the material world Master enough power.

However, as the power of the church expanded and the power of Evil God weakened, it turned to seek stability. At this stage, the church had enough influence and no longer needed to show much power; so the Holy Cross gradually changed The "vow" was withdrawn, leaving only a small part of it.

The appearance of the "Sword of Oath" proves that the Holy Cross once again encountered an enemy that must be eliminated. The sword was handed to Oath Knight.

Of course, these are just speculations. I want to prove that I am afraid that I will have to wait until the oath Knight comes to the door in person...

Just as the black hair wizard was thinking about it, the woman who followed The elf suddenly stabbed him twice with his elbow: "Hey, what do you think?"

"Ah...no, nothing."

came back to the black hair of his senses The wizard lifts the head, facing Liana's obviously unfriendly look: "I was just thinking about the Holy Cross and the scriptures, there is nothing at the worst."

The voice fell, the female elf's eyes Becomes even more unfriendly.

"I don’t want to tell, but I have to make up a lie to deceive people... You really haven’t changed at all, big liar!"

coldly snorted, the female elf turned her head in anger go.

The wronged black hair wizard looked inexplicable, he didn't know how to explain it, and he explained that 80% of the other party would not believe it.

"Something?"

Loren asked tentatively.

"It's okay, I just want to know how far away from the front line of Eboden."

"How far...I remember you came to Eboden once before, and Ayin Together?"

"It's been a few years ago, and I've only been here once again. Who would have thought of coming back to this ghost place again?"

Unhappy The female elf glanced around her angrily: "When I came last time, I could see the woods, grasses and streams. I could roughly know the location and direction... Now except for the wilderness, who still remembers where I was?"

"Really? I feel that the road here has become more recognizable without the things that block the line of sight...Uh, I'm extremely sorry!" Before the other party wanted to hit someone, the black hair wizard took the lead. I apologized, and then offered what I knew:

"Remember the street sign we passed just now...It’s not the original one, it was added by the later Sackland Legion, and the street sign appeared. It proves that there must be Sackland Legion within five kilometers nearby, and the place where Eboden has Sackland Legion right now must be..."

Before Loren finished speaking, the whole marching team suddenly stopped. Come down.

"...Frontline."

Following the direction pointed by the black hair wizard, the female elf stared at her, looking at a black shadow on the horizon in the distance.

That's not a shadow, it's the army fortress of Sackland Legion... It is densely packed and stretches across the ground, consisting of earthen walls, guard towers, curtain walls, trenches, horse-riding stakes, camp tents, bonfires... Jointly formed, several li long and wide company.

The Wimpal fortress in Sicotus, the deep Limburg defense line built by Lotaire with a lot of money...In front of this camp, it is not worth mentioning, just like a country farm next to a town of.

"Here..."

Looking at the once-familiar but unfamiliar land in front of her, the female elf's eyes have more complicated emotions: "Is it Eboden?"

p>

"Boom——!!!"

A thunder interrupted her emotions. A dark shadow passing over her head made the female elf look up instinctively, and then... …

She was stunned.

The huge silhouette soaring in the air...not one, not two...but three. Amidst the cheers of thousands of soldiers, the female elves only felt a little trembling.

The kind of monster that can easily destroy a city...how many empires...how many? !

"Black wings cover, all black, no daylight;

Summer thunder, deafening..."

Recite some old poem softly, Grand Duke of Allermans, Ulrich Wiltz, slowly approached the two of them, and his silver-gray eyes swept towards the female elf:

"They are welcoming us, Lady Lotaire."
