Aiwass held the sun scepter in his hand and followed Matilda towards the depths of the Ministry of Holy Orders.
He walked on the dark red carpet, and for a moment he felt like a star on the red carpet.
On the left and right sides of the red carpet, spectators slowly entered. Most of them were elves. Although there were many people, they were very polite and kept quiet, so they did not make any noise at all. After a while, Aiwass finally
From it, I saw Sherlock, Lily and Pure White standing at the front.
When the crowd stopped entering, Matilda took Aiwass to the end.
There is a uneven dark golden metal mural, reflecting the light under the flames. It seems to be copper, or it may be gold. The lines inside are all protruding, making it look very three-dimensional.
The picture is very simple and easy to understand.
Two women and one man, three beings who were obviously elves, knelt down in front of Sizhu. The red stag covered in sin thorns was too easy to distinguish - its extremely huge antlers were all pointing to the sky, and every branch branched out from the antlers was
Like a candle, lighting up the darkness.
And the entire picture is irregular... In other words, the picture reflected in this mural is a small area illuminated by the light of the stag.
Aiwass's eyes inevitably turned to the mural.
And Matilda raised her hands as if praising the sun.
She solemnly praised the mural: "We would like to invite the Secretary Zhu!"
The next moment, all the candles in the room were extinguished instantly, and then all were lit at the same time.
It was no longer the red candle that had no fluctuations and was as quiet as the picture.
But an extremely slender, pure white light——
These candlelights are extremely slender, like vertical pupils.
The room, which was originally dark, suddenly became like daylight.
"I solemnly call you, noble fire thief!
"The god whose holy number is three, the god who binds his body with sin thorns, the god who burns his body to chase away the darkness - the stag of the candlestick!"
The next moment, the candlelight that Aiwass was looking at, and the entire world in front of him, were like a fast-moving dump truck, crashing into it from afar!
In an instant, Aiwass's field of vision was engulfed by the rapidly enlarging pure white flames.
The surroundings became extremely quiet in an instant, and Aiwass appeared in a pure white space in a trance.
After just a brief hesitation, Aiwass suddenly reacted.
Yes, he has been here.
When he first learned the art of worshiping fire from the chapel of St. Guinevere, he saw the candle in the fire by visualizing the flame.
Therefore, if nothing else happens...
In that pure white and bright world, a majestic and beautiful stag walked slowly.
His whole body is pure red, while the antlers are a darker red. At the top of each antler, there is a white flame burning. Even if the surrounding space is white, you can still see the color of those flames.
And shape - it is light within light, white within white.
And His body was wrapped with black thorns of sin. Those thorns pierced His skin, causing Him to shed fiery red blood. As He walked, the blood dripped down the four hooves and fell to the ground, letting the pure white
In the space, a group of eternal red flame footprints rose.
When he was promoted for the first time, Aiwass couldn't see Si Zhu clearly.
Now, Aiwass was shocked by the shocking beauty and holiness in just an instant.
His ability to speak and move was taken away, and he froze in place.
And Si Zhu slowly walked over, lowered his head and licked Aiwass's arm.
Aiwass looked down and realized that the crystal snake scales on his forearms were slowly dissipating.
That was the uncomfortable reaction that occurred when Aiwass was infiltrated by the power of Huantiansi. It did not dissipate even after Aiwass completed his promotion... because it was Aiwass' soul itself that was distorted. Just like the body's
Cancer is common.
Now, under Si Zhu's licking, the influence from Huan Tiansi has completely faded.
When it completely disappeared, Aiwass suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling - it felt like the college entrance examination had just ended, as if something accumulated in his heart had disappeared. The whole person became relaxed.
When I got up, even the heavy schoolbag behind me didn't seem so heavy anymore.
【You will burn up and turn into ashes】
A gentle and deep voice sounded in Aiwass's ears.
[Or flutter your wings and fly high, lighting up the heaven and earth]
Si Zhu's voice is warm and bright, and it sounds inexplicably touching and reassuring.
It feels like a gentle father, a reliable brother, or a majestic but friendly teacher. Although strictly speaking, Aiwass can't remember what his father's voice sounds like, but he still feels like this.
.
"I will... burn?"
Aiwass murmured.
[This is the paradox of illumination: although light reveals, it is also dazzling. Anyone with intact eyes cannot see light, with the exception of light itself. Will you burn?]
Si Zhu replied like this.
——I didn’t understand.
Aiwass thought bitterly.
What these Riddlers want to say, Aiwass dare not interpret at will. If he understands it wrong, it is better not to understand it.
However, it seemed that he knew that Aiwass didn't understand. So Si Zhu further explained:
[There are only two ways to pursue the light - one is a body of fire, one cannot see the light]
[You have chosen the latter, now is the time to close the window]
Aiwass understood.
Because among the two advanced professions, Torchbearer or Enlightener, Aiwass chose the latter. Now he has reached the stage of body transformation.
A person who initiates light does not have to burn his life into a torch. As a person who initiates light, he cannot stare at the light for too long.
If Aiwass understands correctly, he needs to sacrifice at least one eye. Otherwise, he will not be able to advance further.
"I choose...the right eye."
Aiwass replied.
——If you don’t care about the convenience of daily life, you will definitely get super BUFF by sacrificing two eyes. This is the path of dedication. The more you give up, the more you get.
Si Zhu gently licked Aiwass's right eye.
There was no pain - just a feeling of warmth, and Aiwass felt the vision in his right eye disappear.
The next moment, Aiwass felt a wet touch.
He reached out to touch it, but was suddenly pricked.
Aiwass hissed lightly and felt his right eye bleeding. He reached out and pulled it out with force, and found that it was a black sin thorn.
——The beans he ate before really turned into sin thorns.
After being torn off by Aiwass, the black sin thorn quickly withered. As it withered, it condensed into small red fruits. In the end, the black sin thorn turned into ashes, leaving only a small handful.
, about thirty small red fruits the size of pomegranate seeds are in the palm of Aiwass’ hand.
"Is this... wild jujube?"
Aiwass said in shock.
Thorns will produce dates, and Aiwass knew this.
...But he will also grow dates now?
He instinctively felt that when he was in a dream, the thorns growing in his eyes would probably not be cured in a short period of time. In other words, he would be able to grow a handful of these little jujubes after a while.
——So is this edible? Is it delicious? How to eat it?
Aiwass clutched the jujubes and had this thought in his mind.
He subconsciously opened his eyes, only to find that his right eye was not completely blind - his right eye could clearly see the red devotional brilliance and faint black energy of these dates.
It seems to be a real vision.
Aiwass thought so, and the white space around him quickly retreated.
In a trance, he appeared again at the coronation ceremony.
At this moment, the ceremony has come to an end. The sun scepter in his hand has left his hand and is in the hands of Cardinal Matilda. At this moment, he has his hands folded, holding a handful of red fruits.
A stream of blood slowly flowed from his right eye, and the originally blue pupils turned into amber-like hazy yellow.
I saw Cardinal Matilda solemnly placing the candle on the diadem and lighting it.
One large candle and two small candles. The same size as Bishop Mathers. These candles are made of giant trees and can burn for a long time and emit stable light.
Immediately afterwards, Cardinal Matilda put the diadem on Aiwass' head and touched it lightly with the sun scepter in her hand.
The golden light ripples through the space like ripples.
Aiwass's two heterochromatic pupils simultaneously ignited a bright red light.
The golden sacrificial cape on his body moved automatically without wind, and the inscriptions on the golden scarf-like shoulder strap lit up one by one, shining with brilliance. Even the "Wings of Freedom" on Aiwass's back,
Also activated and ignited with light.
As the fire of the religious crown above Aiwass' head ignited and extinguished, the light on Aiwass' body also gradually dissipated.
Certification completed.
All the spectators around him saluted Aiwass respectfully, and then dispersed in twos and threes.
They witnessed the promotion of the new archbishop with their own eyes, and were obviously very satisfied with it. Chunbai also nodded to Aiwass, and both Sherlock and Lily clapped happily.
"Archbishop Moriarty, congratulations."
Cardinal Matilda smiled and nodded to Aiwass: "The ceremony is all over. I will take you to your room in a while. After a while, the study of advanced magic will officially begin, we will also
We’ll meet.”
She looked at the fruit that suddenly appeared in Aiwass' hand with some curiosity, and politely asked with some curiosity: "By the way... what is this?"
"This should be jujube." Aiwass replied.
The jujubes on my body - it looks like you may not have them.
It's strange.
Aiwass said in his heart.
"A little presumptuous...can I have a taste?"
Cardinal Matilda was a little curious: "Of course, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I can help you find some containers to store it."
This was the first time she saw a bishop holding a handful of dates after being promoted.
Generally speaking, the body is directly burned, leaving a few scars. The holy oil applied before is to prevent the flame from causing too much damage to the body, and also to protect the clothes-so that the clothes will not be exposed in public.
Then burn them all together.
As a result, Aiwass didn't get burned at all. Instead, he was blind in one eye and had an extra handful of dates in his hand.
...Is this a gift or compensation from Si Zhu?
"——Please."
Aiwass handed over the dates he held in both hands without hesitation.
It just so happened that he wanted to find someone to try the effect.
Matilda is a cardinal of the fifth level. In case this cannot be eaten... the extraordinary beings who have devoted themselves to the path have thick skin and high resistance, so they probably cannot be killed by poison.
"You are welcome to try it, please."
Aiwass said enthusiastically.
Update completed meow!
It is not updated at 12 noon now, so don’t wait in advance...but the cat should still finish writing before 6 pm, so you can wait for me at night.
I’m ready to play the Last Era, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time! (Rubbing my claws)
