When Colin's limousine stopped in front of the city hall, someone immediately passed the news on. When he got out of the car, he saw faces looming in the doors and windows of the white building in front of him.
They looked like they were vying to see what he looked like.
"That's Colin Varland?"
"You still look young, and a little handsome!"
"You are really young, and it looks like you are really a genius!"
…
Curious looks and comments arose one after another.
"Such a big battle?"
Colin was confused and confused.
"I thought that the mayor just asked me to meet, and it was just a routine matter, but looking at this, could it be that the mayor had nothing serious to do all day, so he arranged for people to watch here?"
Not to mention Colin's confusion, even Dreibao was also confused, but after a young clerk trotted along and explained the situation in his ear, he understood the reason and was a little shocked at the same time.
"There's a quarrel? Why?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but the mayor hopes not to let Mr. Varlan pass now. He is worried that the excited parties will cause greater conflicts."
"What a headache." Dreibao sighed, turned around and came to Colin, led him into the city hall, walked into a single room, and whispered: "Mr. Varlan, please wait here first.
I want to ask the mayor for instructions first and see how he arranges it."
"Okay, you go ahead."
For Colin, who has a sharp ear and eyesight, he heard the conversation just now clearly and vaguely guessed what was going on behind the scenes.
"Those people who want to see me are quarreling among themselves? It's really inexplicable. But having said that, it's just a few experts and professors in the academic circle. It's understandable that they want to see me. But if the priests of the Moonlight Church are not here to recover stolen goods,
Yes, why did you come to me? Is it because of the impact of my research on occultism?"
After everyone left, Colin sat on the sofa, thinking about the possible situation, and soon felt tired again.
After all, he had just experienced a fierce battle. Even though his spirituality and physical strength had not been lost due to promotion, he was still mentally tired and sleepy. If it weren't for the purpose of creating an alibi, he would definitely not have gotten into that car, and now he actually had to face it
A quarrel made him not look forward to the upcoming meeting at all.
After thinking about it, Colin looked back at the camera in the corner, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it somewhere.
"I remember," Colin leaned back and pressed his back against the sofa, thinking about the scene not long ago, "When I went to the underground base of the special search team, I was also arranged to rest in a single room, and just
At that time, I learned many extraordinary secrets from Sidney, and also improved my understanding of the promotion ceremony."
The so-called seeing things and thinking about emotions, in this similar environment, I thought that the souls of fanatics have gone to unfathomable and unknown places, and I have changed from a mere shelf with a little knowledge of theology to the current second-level transcendent.
Otherwise, he can control the silver soul better inside, and Colin couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Immediately, he thought that waiting here was just waiting, so he might as well take advantage of this time to follow the same example as before and ask about the method of advancing to the third level.
"In recent incidents, Galmar Miller, the cult leader, has shown a lot of sincerity and revealed a lot of information about the occult and supernatural circles. Although I cannot take this lightly, it is still possible to reach some basis for cooperation with him.
.Besides, if his soul really shows no signs of leaving this world, it would be best to make plans for long-term coexistence."
As soon as he thought about this, Colin called out the soul of the cult "doctor".
"Good day, His Royal Highness the Son."
Galmar Miller, who was wearing a black collar, black clothes and black trousers, had a faint smile. As soon as his translucent body appeared, he saluted Colin gracefully, with an indescribable coolness and calmness.
"It seems that my loyalty has finally impressed you."
"Let's not talk about topics such as allegiance. Let's start with cooperation." Colin interrupted the other party and stated the purpose straight away, "Since we are cooperating, I will not let you reveal the information in vain. If the value is equal,
Under the premise, I will help you do something. Of course, there are two premise, one is not to put me in danger, and the second is not to do anything evil or extremely bad."
"Then it's just a violation of the law and it's not too bad, so it should be okay, right?" Galmar Miller smiled slightly, and what he said made Colin change his face slightly, but then he changed the subject, "Don't worry,
As your believer, I will not ask for anything. If you insist on fair trade, then I hope you can take time to go to a place that will definitely meet your two criteria and will be of great benefit to you."
After saying that, without waiting for Colin to respond, he took a step forward and pointed at his heart.
In an instant, Colin's consciousness became aware of some kind of call and request.
He immediately understood the underlying reason and gave his permission.
The next second, Colin's consciousness was pulled to the depths of Galmar Miller's soul.
In front, stands a high white wall.
Surrounded by gray fields, the sky is filled with colorful light.
"Since you are seeking promotion, there is nothing more intuitive than this scene. Here, you can know the changes of the second level on the wall of spirituality."
Galma's figure appeared in front of the wall of spirituality. He pointed to the layer of spiritual light on the wall: "Same as the first level, there are prerequisites for advancement, which is to understand and study one's own abilities. There are many ways to do this.
, but that’s not the point now.”
Colin understood the meaning of this sentence and said: "So, if you understand your own extraordinary ability to a certain extent, it will be reflected on the spiritual wall?"
"Of course," Galma snapped his fingers, and the glimmer of light on the high wall trembled slightly, turning into a thin layer of flames. "When the flame of will ignites and covers the entire high wall, it means that the extraordinary person has mastery.
Having the spiritual fire also means that the second rune is waving to you. Just like the first level, successfully condensing the runes is the key to unlocking the promotion ceremony."
Colin's eyes stayed on those flames. It was not the first time he saw the spiritual flames, but now he understood a little bit of their meaning.
"The process of advancing from the first level to the second level is called the 'ritual of giving up'," Galma smiled and continued: "And the ritual of advancing from the second level to the third level is called the 'ritual of gaining'."
"get?"
Colin was a little surprised, it was quite symmetrical.
"Yes, some things are so interesting, as if they were designed by some kind of existence," Galma looked as usual, "If the core of the abandonment ritual is the 'treasure of the past', then the core of the acquisition ritual is
It's 'mysterious imagination'."
"Mystical imagination? It refers to the understanding of occult science?" Colin guessed.
"No, this is the interesting part," Galma smiled even more happily, "It's not so much mysticism as it is the mystery in everyone's heart."
"The mystery in your heart?" Colin was stunned, and then continued to guess, "The impression of mystery?"
"It can be understood this way. Perhaps the designer, when he first designed it, the second-level extraordinary people he imagined were all rookies who had just come into contact with extraordinary people, had some achievements, but had many puzzles and questions.
That’s why those superficial extraordinary beings, based on mastering a small amount of mysticism, are allowed to let go of their imaginations and imagine what the original form of the mystery really looks like.”
"In other words, blind men touch an elephant?"
Colin thought about it, and the scene on the star flashed in his mind, and asked: "So, what does this have to do with getting it?"
"This is the wonderful place. Everyone can think, but what they think may not be right. However, mystery is unpredictable. If you let go of the constraints and think about it, there will always be some places that meet the characteristics of real mystery, and this part will
Obtained by extraordinary beings, they can be shaped into their... speech spirits!" Galma spoke very quickly, and his tone increased at the end.
Then, he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "First-level traits, second-level abilities, third-level speaking spirit! The voice of speaking spirit is the embodiment of extraordinary people's understanding of the mystery. It not only allows extraordinary people to cast spells, but also allows extraordinary people to cast spells.
It can also add some unique characteristics to the spell."
"Same spell, different personality?" Colin has also been exposed to the voice of the spirit for a long time, so he is not unfamiliar with it.
"Yes, for example, any spell cast by me will have reversal properties, and any spell cast by that poor explorer will have a burning effect," Galmar said, looking at Colin
, "Actually, I'm very curious about the characteristics of His Highness the Holy Son's Word Spirit."
"Perhaps we won't know until a few months later." Colin shook his head and then asked: "You said a lot, but the details will have to be verified later. The most important thing now is how to implement the ceremony? That is the content of the ceremony.
.”
"Yes," Galma nodded and said: "The 'Ritual of Obtaining' has been optimized for many years. Now the most mainstream method is to use spiritual paper to record the extraordinary person's mysterious imagination. It does not necessarily need to use words, but can also be painted, or even smudged.
What, but it must be the true imagination in your heart, not hearsay, because it is not only related to the success of the ceremony, but also closely related to the gains that can be obtained at the third level."
"Spiritual paper? Is there no substitute?"
"The spiritual paper itself is a substitute. In the ancient past, rituals used flesh and blood skin. For example..." Galma showed a weird smile, "Human skin."
"Where's the animal skin?" Colin was unaffected.
"The more related to the human body, the better the effect." Galma did not dwell on this issue. "After everything is ready, light the spiritual paper recording the mysterious imagination in a crowded place, inhale the smoke, and perceive the illusion.
If you succeed, you will be able to carve the third holy mark!"
"So simple?"
"Is it simple?" Galma shook his head, "Illusion is not that simple, especially when you fall into the illusion and are in a crowded place, some accidents are more likely to happen." He lowered his voice: "What do you think?
, are all the news about shootings and self-destructions in crowds terrorist attacks?"
Colin was stunned again. The first thing he thought of was the 'gas explosion' that involved Sidney, Ms. Lauren and others in the spiral of doom a year and a half ago!
"Is that also a promotion ceremony?"
Colin looked at the cult doctor in front of him.
When it comes to the All Souls Hall, the person in front of me must know the inside story, but can we really believe what the other party says now? Or will it destroy the prototype of the current cooperation?
Just as Colin was weighing his thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Galmar Miller smiled slightly, bowed to Colin, and slowly disappeared.
But at the last moment before disappearing, he left behind a sentence——
"In this building, there seem to be followers of your Holy Son. This is really gratifying. I believe that soon, your religious order will appear, and your glory will soon spread.
.”
The lingering sound lingered, but it made Colin stunned.
This building?
town Hall?
Are there any of my followers here?
The first thing Colin thought of was Officer Jim, who was connected to him by a thread of faith.
"Is it Officer Jim who is here on business? Or are those scholars?"
Just as he was thinking about it, the door opened, and Mayor Yadan, who had curly hair, gold-rimmed glasses, an elegant demeanor and a gentle demeanor, slowly walked in.
"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting here for so long, Mr. Varlan."
With a wry smile and a look of helplessness on his face, he explained as soon as he entered the door: "Originally, I invited you to have a brief chat and get to know each other. Of course, I also have some selfish motives and want to ask you for a favor.
But I don’t know why, the news has been spread, and now here are several people that Bursonburg cannot afford to offend. They are all waiting for you in the living room next to it. Alas, what is helpless is that these big people because
There was a quarrel over some trivial matter, and we are all angry at the moment, so it is not convenient for you to go over there for the time being, so as not to get involved."
After hearing so many words, Colin couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
He could see that although the man in front of him looked easy-going, he had the air of someone who had lived for a long time and was definitely not an ordinary government servant.
"It was my negligence. I forgot to introduce myself." Yadan smiled bitterly again. He shook hands with Colin and said, "I am the mayor of Bursenberg who invited you here, Yadan."
"Hello, Mayor Yadan." Colin looked surprised. The pronunciation of the name "Yardan" was a little different from the names he had heard so far. It didn't seem to be a separate first or last name. "You don't have to come in person. I
Just wait here."
After Yadan and Colin said a few polite words, they sat down together, and then he said: "It's really rude to make you wait here for too long. I have to come over in person to accompany you. Of course, besides that,
There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
"You're welcome, what's the matter?" Colin didn't want to go around in circles, let alone stay here for a long time.
"It has something to do with religious affairs." Yadan thought about it and asked, "Do you know the Archbishop of the Central Christian Church?"
