Chapter 191: Bishop's visit
"Hello, faithful." The white-haired bishop smiled and made a greeting gesture unique to the Church of the Suffering God, "May you never stop moving forward on the road of protecting the weak."
Panda sighed, and although he didn't answer, he nodded and said hello.
Although he is a priest, he is not willing to get involved with the priests in this world. Especially the priest of the Church of the Suffering God, he didn't even want to get close.
The gods of this world are really unfathomable. If they are powerful entities like **** demons or celestial archangels, with their own character and principles, then maybe they can do whatever they want and try to get in touch, but in fact they have almost no personal will to speak of , there is no entity, but also a question mark. Rather than saying that they are some kind of concrete existence, it is better to say that they are the embodiment of the various laws of this world.
This kind of metaphysics is the most unfathomable, and it is also the most dangerous for the traversers who have huge secrets.
After all... you are not even sure what the other party is, how do you communicate?
What if the contact of each other's spirits will directly transfer a huge amount of knowledge like the Yangtze River, and the brain will explode directly, or if you lose your reason and turn into a madman, what should you do?
Although it may be possible to have a different understanding of looking at the world from a different angle, but if the premise is that it can never be changed again, then even the most daring person, I am afraid that they will be grateful and thankful.
Panda is not a timid person, but he really does not want to make such an attempt.
For this reason, he usually only shows the ability of a martial artist, and hardly uses divine energy. But not long ago, he had to use divine energy in order to kill the wild boar, which had evolved similar to that of an elephant, and was immediately seen by the clerics in the crusade.
The divine energies of the clergy may appear to be similar at first glance, but in fact each church is different. Outsiders can't tell the difference, they can see it at a glance. Of course, the Crusaders also had members of the Church of the Suffering God, and they were led by the bishop of the Mulandana Temple. As soon as they saw a powerful cleric emerge out of thin air, they naturally came to say hello.
People are polite, and pandas can't drive people away with a cold face. Although they sigh in their hearts, they can only receive them friendly.
He knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable. In this world, he would inevitably use divine energy, and he would inevitably be discovered and contacted by the Church of the Suffering God. But the first official contact was with a bishop of an earl-level territory. It was really... a little too high-end.
(There is nothing to worry about! There are people who have already contacted the Church of the Goddess of Life in Tarakhan, and they have even gone to the temple to pray. Isn't there a problem!)
He encouraged himself in his heart, his face seemed as casual as possible, and he greeted the bishop with a smile.
"I never imagined that I would see a wandering pilgrim here." Of course, the bishop didn't know what he was thinking, and asked with a smile, "Brother, are you a paladin, an emissary, or a Templar?"
Paladins, Fist Messengers and Templars are the three most common types of cleric martial arts - the most common types of clerics are priests, priests and monks. Of course, as the most powerful church in the world, the Church of the Suffering God can provide far more than so many professions. It's just that everyone communicated with each other deeply, and the bishop did not want to inquire about the detailed occupation of the faithful, but just asked for a general idea.
"I'm a paladin, and I've also trained as a holy knight." Panda replied, "In terms of fighting habits, I'm close to the **** fist messenger; but in terms of strength, I've gone farther on the path of a paladin. Some."
The bishop nodded clearly: "Many church members are like this, and they are developing on several paths at the same time, and so am I."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist. The golden light condensed on his fist, revealing a clear and distinct feeling of power.
This is the skill of the divine fist messenger. Even an old man whose body is gradually weakened, once he uses this skill, his fist will immediately turn into a terrifying weapon capable of piercing through gold and stone. Considering the bishop's rank, I'm afraid that when he punches, the person on the opposite side will die immediately, and it will be too late to even rescue him.
Panda smiled and raised his right hand, the golden light condensed on his fist.
His golden light intensity and condensed level are under the bishop, but there is a wonderful charm in it, showing an unfathomable feeling.
Of course the bishop could see it, he was slightly taken aback, and exclaimed: "Legendary power?!"
The panda was taken aback and hurriedly restrained his strength, allowing the golden light to dissipate.
The bishop looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Brother, who is your teacher?"
"The old man didn't tell me his name. I only know that he is short and fat. He always has a smile. He just hates people saying he is bald." Panda replied.
Naturally, the person he was talking about was not a random fabrication, but was found by the raiding team from the corners of the information. This person was a legendary cleric from a long time ago, and no one knew what **** he believed in. , I only know that he has taught several students, all of them are famous and strong, and they have all kinds of beliefs.
It's just that his affairs have been separated for a long time, let alone him, even if his students have disappeared for many years, they may have died long ago.
After thinking for a while, the bishop naturally thought of this legendary figure. It's just that the person's time is too far away from now, even if it is a long-lived race, it is impossible to live to the present, so there is surprise and confusion on his face.
"He...is this really what he looks like?" He asked subconsciously, then realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized, "Sorry! I didn't mean to doubt you! Maybe your teacher just admired the style of the old senior. , Dress up like him on purpose."
"Dress up?" Panda asked, pretending to know nothing.
The bishop then remembered that although the churchmate in front of him is powerful, he is a wild way. I am afraid that he has not come into contact with many classics and materials, and he is not very clear about historical figures - he will never doubt his own churchmates. He will deceive himself, not to mention that this kind of deception is meaningless, and the Church of the Suffering God will not discriminate because of his origin, let alone Panda is an orc, even if he is a demon - no, this is really not good, forget it. ...
Next, the bishop introduced the legendary figure to the panda, and the panda naturally pretended to know just now, and said in surprise: "Bishop, you are mistaken! The person you are talking about is almost a thousand years ago. Now, my teacher is a human, how can he live so long!"
"That's why I think that he may have deliberately dressed up as that senior." The bishop said, "Your teacher may have his own difficulties and have to hide his identity - it doesn't matter, everyone is walking around Guarding the partners on the weak roads, even if we can't meet each other candidly, our souls will always gather under the same banner, that's enough, we're closer than anything else!"
He said that, of course, Panda will not be hypocritical, and he has to say "I am suspicious and my origin is unknown" and so on - he is not mentally retarded!
The two sides discussed some doctrinal issues, and then discussed their views on this crusade. Generally speaking, there was a consensus on all issues, and it was considered a pleasant relationship.
When the bishop was leaving, he gave Panda two gifts. One was an old doctrinal manual with many annotations written by him. It might not sell for a few dollars, but in the eyes of the faithful, it was A priceless treasure; the other is a sacred emblem, made of mithril, very delicate, even if you don't consider the powerful power contained in it, the material and craftsmanship alone are worth a lot.
The panda accepted the gift, sent the bishop away, returned to the tent, looked at these two things, and sighed softly.
