Fang Yu stood there quietly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he felt nervous and uneasy. He could almost imagine how he would be surrounded next, but there was something under his feet.
It's like taking root and refusing to move an inch.
He didn't know where his persistence came from, but he was determined in his heart. It was like a flash of inspiration, and there seemed to be a voice guiding him in the dark. He couldn't hear the voice, but the voice had no holes.
It's as if it were his own sincere thoughts.
In Aitaria, this experience is still very novel for the chosen ones, but there are indeed some people among the aboriginal people who are called prophets who can enter such a state of inspiration. Although Fang Plover has never eaten pork, but
At any rate, I have seen pigs running away, and I probably understand that I have received a message from the oracle at this moment.
Just like the forest goddess' revelation to herself, Ms. Marland is actually looking for herself.
But what is she looking for in herself?
The old knight looked at him, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his dim eyes.
At this moment, the screams of the knights suddenly came from behind the two of them. Fang Plover turned his head in that direction involuntarily, and saw the silhouette of Bein's knights walking up the steps of the temple in bewilderment. It was only a short distance away from here.
More than ten meters away, but at this moment, a wall of light descending from the sky suddenly appeared in front of them - the golden waterfall seemed to be hanging from the clouds, just like a bunch of sharp swords, thrust straight into the steps in front of the temple.
The golden beam of light in the darkness not only separated the dark clouds, but also separated the raging sandstorm, as if it was the center of the storm. The bright light, standing vertically from the clouds, made almost half of the city of Bein clearly visible.
Most of the knights of Bein were followers of Malan. Seeing this scene, they were so shocked that they knelt down involuntarily, lowered their heads and caressed their chests, as if they were being conferred. And the actions of a few people inspired more
People follow suit, because regardless of whether they are believers or not... Etalia is a world where true gods exist after all.
Fang Yu even saw many people burst into tears and howling loudly in the sandstorm. As a non-aboriginal person, it was difficult for him to understand this kind of admiration, but this did not prevent him from naturally having thoughts flash through his heart at this moment.
A thought:
Malan, God has descended.
Less than half a month ago, Amaya had descended once in Tansnir, and it was rumored that the Lord of the Mountain had also appeared in the Forge Hall a month ago.
There are also rumors on the White Fields that a traveler saw a giant giant walking in the Mirfang area. It was a sacred structure of Woking, the god of pottery, which had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years before.
Gods appear frequently, and I don’t know whether it is good or bad. There are no such rumors in history. Unless it is something before the Numelin era, because most of the historical records before that have been lost in the dust of history, so that
The world has no way of knowing.
Fang Yu looked at this scene without much 'shock' in his heart. After all, there was still a world's gap between the Chosen One and this world, but he still had some emotion. He couldn't help but look back, and the old knight just remained silent.
Watching this scene quietly, I felt his eyes looking over me, glanced at him, and stepped aside without saying a word, gesturing for him to come in.
Neither of them spoke, but Fang Yu understood the other's meaning and took one last look at the knights outside - the wonder was called a wonder because it was rare, but after looking at it for a while, it was nothing more than that. He
Remembering that he was not safe, he nodded to the other party without thanking him, and hurried past him and walked into the temple.
The old knight looked at the people outside, then looked up at the light in the air, put his wrinkled hand on his chest, and drew a strange symbol, staggered diagonally left and right, like a pair of sharp swords passing through each other.
. Then he opened his eyes again, and his eyes were dim again. He didn't care about what was going on outside, and just stepped forward and closed the door.
…
There was silence in the high-arched and deep hall, corresponding to the low and whistling sound of the wind outside - while a candle burned in the distance, with only a little light shining through the rows of dust-covered benches.
A long shadow with complex patterns is outlined behind it.
There is still sand falling from the ceiling of the hall, forming several thin waterfalls and gently rustling. This is not to say that the temple is in disrepair, but this is a very common thing in this area.
Especially in this dust storm weather, it is quite helpless.
After the dust storm is over, cleaning will definitely be a big problem.
But this is Malan's temple after all, and there will definitely be many believers who are obliged to help. After thinking about it, it's not a big deal.
Fang Plover was walking through the rows of chairs, looking at the empty hall. The old knight outside seemed to be the only one taking care of the huge temple, so he made this thought. He stood still in the center of the hall.
, looking around, it seems that there is not even a service person, no monks, no apprentices, no one, it is empty and quiet.
But after a while, rustling footsteps came from behind.
In the dim light of the fire, the old knight turned in from outside the temple wall. The other party looked at him in a taciturn manner, opened his mouth, and said bluntly:
"You are the Saint of Fenris."
Fang Plover was shocked.
He took a step back involuntarily.
But the surprise did not make him lose the ability to think. Instead, his mind started to spin rapidly. Thinking of the words that Amaya had revealed to him like a riddle not long ago, a clue quickly surfaced. The forest lady told him who was really looking for him.
The person is not her, but of course there is someone else.
The revelation she gave was the Holy Emblem of Marlan. At that time, Fang Plover did not dare to think about Lady War. He only thought it was a knight under her command, or a specific person. But after seeing today's scene, where did he think it was?
He didn't know what happened, and he could know from the old knight's mouth that Malan had been targeting him since the Fenris incident.
But why?
But the old knight made no answer.
He walked over silently, crossed the square plover and walked towards the altar in front of him. After walking a few steps, he asked without looking back: "Since you appear in this place, I must inform Archbishop Faris. Do you have any objection?"
"
"Who is Archbishop Faris?"
"The lady is the archbishop of Istania, and her knight." The old knight's answer was still concise and to the point.
This 'her knight' speaks volumes.
Fang Yu knew clearly in his heart that he was the chosen one by God.
Every archbishop of the gods of Orin is their chosen one. Different chosen ones have different names. The one from Angina is called the Great Seer, the one from Woking is the Craftsman of Woking, and the knight of Mallan,
It specifically refers to her archbishop. This kind of person is already the patriarch of a diocese and is in charge of thousands of believers. On earth, he is at least at the level of a cardinal.
But there are many gods in Aitaria, and the gods of Orin are of the same origin. Although there will be some feuds between the gods, most of them are on the same page. Their believers also have clear goals for each other, even if they are in the same place.
In different regions, there will also be multiple faiths that overlap with each other but do not interfere with each other.
However, there will still be some emphasis on belief in different regions. For example, in Istania, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, there will be more temples of Lady Roman, which is an important parish of the Corin-Ithurian goddess of commerce.
Relatively speaking, the temples of Malan are only common in military fortresses like Bein.
After listening to the other party's brief answer, Fang Pliance was secretly surprised. Could he actually alarm a patriarch?
However, when he thought that the other party recognized him immediately, he was suddenly not so surprised, and there was a lot of commotion outside. Thinking about it carefully, the oracle sent down by the goddess that day was very important. The knights of the archdiocese
The archbishop and the archbishop immediately sent the corresponding news to each of the following dioceses and jurisdictions. Or Malan directly sent an oracle and notified every believer.
However, he believed that the former was more likely, after all, the big cat man had never heard of it.
He did not answer yes or no to the other party's question, because the old knight's words did not sound like he was asking for his opinion, rather it was just a notification.
He simply asked: "Can you contact the Archdiocese of Istania in this weather?"
The old knight is placing his hands on the altar.
After listening to Fang Plover's words, the latter shook his head slightly. "I just deposited the news with the goddess. When the storm passes, they will know it."
Fang Yu thought that this belief was really convenient, but he also gave up his thoughts. If Marlan's temple had the ability to contact the outside world under such circumstances, it would be an unexpected surprise for him. He now has a lot of information.
To get in touch with other members of the Seven Seas Brigade, Bein and his team gained too much.
Including the unbelievably large string of numbers displayed on the glossy page in front of him, with values in Lisel units. He had no time to pay attention to this when he was escaping, but now that he was free, Fang Plover immediately felt dizzy.
Unreality.
However, the old knight turned around at this time, and his dim eyes obviously could not see the page of light that did not exist for the aborigines.
He just looked at Fang Plover quietly, and after a long while he said:
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask."
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
But he did have a lot of questions to ask.
…
The old knight's name was Maisil, Maisil-Brad-Abdubas-Adya.
Just from this name, you can tell the opponent's noble origin, but this is normal. Most of the Templar Knights are nobles. In fact, the big cat man is obviously not a commoner in Rotas. Just look at his beard and ring.
You can tell by the name engraved on it.
Brad means knight in Istania, which means the highest origin among the family with this surname. However, Fang Plover doubts that this is the old knight himself, because his father's surname is Abbas in Istania.
Tania is not a noble surname.
In fact, some people with innocent backgrounds will pass the temple selection and obtain the status of noble knights. In some areas, this is the only way for the lower classes to enter. Although there are also factions within the religion, a few temple families have a monopoly
It has most resources, but in Aitaria where the true god exists, everything is at least not without restraint.
Maisil lit an oil lamp, brought two clean cushions, and sat across from him. Although there were chairs around, this was probably the only clean seat in the temple at this moment.
Fortunately, Fang Plover doesn't pay attention to this.
He was silent for a while and then asked:
"You...are looking for me?"
This question was a bit confusing and a little weird. If he didn't know this, how could he come to this place?
But Mai Yixier didn't take it seriously and nodded slowly.
"Is it the goddess...Ms. Marlan's oracle?" Fang Yu subconsciously wanted to say the goddess, but he suddenly realized that he was not a believer of Marlan. Only believers would use such a title, and they would usually say our
The goddess is above. And if you are not a believer, saying this would be a bit offensive.
Ms. Malan is the official title others give to this God of War.
"Yes."
"but why……"
Seeing that he was confused, Maisil didn't look surprised at all, and said calmly: "The oracle sent down by the goddess is that the person she is looking for has appeared in the world, and she has asked us to find the savior of Fenris."
'The person she is looking for has already appeared', this sentence sounded a bit meaningful to Fang Plover. The person she was looking for undoubtedly refers to himself. Although he did not dare to claim to be the 'savior' of Fenris Island, but there
Everyone's contribution to an event is well known, and being too modest would appear to be hypocritical.
The four words "already appeared" show that this goddess is not just a whim.
Could it be that the other party has been waiting for such an opportunity to appear?
Fang Yu couldn't help but think with a little panic.
Omniscient and omnipotent is just a crown given to their gods by believers, but the existence that can truly achieve this ability may not exist in Aitaria. The gods only focus on their own fields, and even wisdom such as knowledge
God Anjana does not even dare to say that he knows the past.
At least the past events before the Sun Gods are unknown to his followers.
Not to mention predicting the future.
But there are some ancient prophecies...
For example, the long scroll of Yuanhai.
If there is any great power in the eyes of the chosen one, then this mysterious and unpredictable ability is obviously enough to be called a "miracle". It gives people a sense of insignificance and a kind of inescapable power before the unknown.
The feeling of form.
Fang Yu asked cautiously: "Excuse me, is this related to a certain prophecy...?"
But Mai Yixier glanced at him and shook his head: "Prophecy? The future is shrouded in fog, except for the supreme Etta, and the blind goddess Elaine, the daughter of the great man who has gained the power of destiny -
Who can really know? The goddess gives revelations, but rarely predicts the future."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering why he didn't follow the script. "...Then, why me?"
"What the goddess values is fearless courage and the ability to change situations. Those heroes of the world are exactly the people she favors."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
It's like saying that Ms. Marland sent down the oracle with great fanfare in order to find herself, that's all?
He opened his mouth, originally thinking that he had to comply with some ancient prophecy, looking for a savior, or a door opener - but it sounded like he was just taking a fancy to his performance in Fenris.
Just?
The sense of mystery that had just arisen in his heart suddenly collapsed completely, leaving only a pile of chicken feathers. He had heard of such a routine before, and was no stranger to it - wasn't this Mallan's choice of his own god?
Is it the pattern of the chosen one? Generally speaking, she will choose one of her own chosen ones every fifteen years.
The replacement process of archbishops in each diocese is almost every fifteen years, which is exactly the same.
The same is true for other gods.
But he seemed to remember that Mallan's Divine Chosen was born just three years ago.
And the gods almost never choose the chosen one as the chosen one——
Mai Yixier nodded: "The goddess is choosing her spokesperson in the world."
"Spokesperson?" Fang Yu was slightly startled: "Isn't he chosen by God?"
"It can also be said that they are chosen by gods," the old knight replied: "But not entirely. There are very few records about spokesmen in history, but they do appear."
Fang Yu couldn't help but pointed at himself: "...Is this me?"
Mai Yixier nodded again.
This statement is quite new, because at least it sounds more serious than the divine selection of the fifteen-year class. But Fang Pliong keenly noticed something from the other party's attitude and asked:
"So there is more than one such agent, right?"
"nature."
Sure enough, Fang Plover secretly said that it was really a scam.
He was full of disdain for the so-called divine selection. If something was rare, he might still have the desire to attract people's attention, but this kind of divine selection every fifteen years was too cliché. Besides, he didn't compete for the title of bishop.
A professional heart.
As for the spokesperson's statement, it sounds interesting, but there is more than one. What does this mean? It means that this thing may also be a piece of junk, and it sounds like there is a lot of trouble waiting for him.
Having learned from past mistakes, he immediately realized that this was also a trap.
Fang Yu subconsciously wanted to ask if he could refuse this divine choice, because even the goddess can't be unreasonable, right? What's more, he is still the chosen one. The major temples have also signed the "Stargate Declaration" with the Stargate Port
", this shows that the gods also acquiesce in this contract, they can't deny it, right?
All in all, the goddess has to ask him for his personal opinion. What if he doesn't want to be the spokesperson? Designating himself as someone's agent in the world for no reason. Doesn't this feel a bit official?
However, he glanced at the old knight in front of him, and after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.
The other party is just the host of this temple, and he must not be able to answer this question on behalf of Marlan. He should wait until Bishop Faris asks this question.
But when he thought of this, his heart suddenly moved.
Amea has appeared as a saint, and Marlan has also appeared as a saint. Recently, the gods have frequently appeared in Aitaria. Are they all looking for their own spokespersons?
But here comes the problem. As mentioned above, the selection of the gods has its own rules. Although not all are elected every fifteen years like Ms. Marland, they cannot be separated from the original. There must be a charter.
, so that your believers can be prepared, right? They are suddenly looking for a successor in such an abnormal way, does it mean that something has happened?
And an idea flashed in Fang Yu's mind, and he almost immediately connected it with a few words:
The evil star comes to the world, and the divine war begins.
