Fei climbed up the pure white marble steps and arrived at the All Saints Gospel Hermitage on the top floor. She turned around and glanced behind her. She saw the magnificent and sacred city of Aldes extending out from under her feet.
, occupying nearly half of this vast plain, and the remaining area is filled with regular acres and scattered farmhouses. The city is a prosperous scene, with red tile roofs and ancestral temples and shrines everywhere.
The first impression of the city is between the orderly streets and spotless drainage canals. Residents are walking back and forth, walking in a hurry, discussing prices, or spending a lot of money; craftsmen, merchants, farmers, monks
, and the guards who maintain order...each perform their duties and are full of vitality.
Fifty years ago, this place was still a barren wasteland, baptized by wars and natural disasters, a disaster place where even birds and insects did not want to stay; fifty years later, Aldes, the hometown of all souls, has become a place of disaster.
Another great city that can be compared with the Dragon King's City Labit, the Feathered Sky City Karagang, the Mirror Elf Canghai King's City and other ancient great cities. Humanity has also risen in leaps and bounds. In an era of conflict and turmoil among hundreds of tribes, it has gained
His own place makes other races seem to have re-recognized this small ethnic group, and while being fearful, they also stay away from it.
What is commendable is that after the rise of mankind, they did not retaliate against those races that were once superior because of the oppression they suffered before, or even participate in the war for continental hegemony. Instead, they relied on the teachings of the goddess and the teachings of the saints.
Next, he carefully restrains his desires and never uses his strength for battles other than self-preservation and resistance.
This cautious, conservative and aloof neutral attitude has attracted a lot of misunderstanding and ridicule, but it has also won the trust of some peace-loving races, such as elves, sylphs and dwarves. They also hate war and take the initiative to fight with humans.
They formed an alliance and helped each other. Although the individual forces were small, they gathered together to become a decisive force. Because they were afraid of this alliance, they had frequently launched wars in the past, trying to dominate the continent's dragons, giants, dust elves, feather elves and other races.
In recent years, they have also ceased their activities and curbed their edge.
As a result, the situation on the mainland reached a strange balance. Under the premise that no one was willing to take the initiative to break the balance, a fragile but reassuring peace came. For a long time, no war broke out again, although there were often
It was a small-scale conflict, but compared to the previous era of endless wars and chaos, it was unimaginably stable.
The rise of mankind is undoubtedly a major opportunity for the advent of the age of peace, and Fei has personally participated in various processes on the road to the rise of mankind. From the time she followed her teacher to study the fourteen sacred artifacts of royal power, to study the formulas of magic potions of different extraordinary ways, and to analyze
Spirituality and acting methods, assisting teachers in establishing spiritual prayer meetings, and later as disciples of saints, confronting those races that do not want the rise of mankind, through difficult victories, protecting the believers and homes behind them... This
The road was like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you weren't careful, you would fall and be shattered into pieces. Fortunately, they managed to survive in the end.
Fei has always been proud of being able to create such a peaceful era with her own hands. At the same time, she also knows that such peace is hard-won. It is accompanied by the sacrifice and death of many people. Even among the thirteen disciples who studied with the teacher,
One of them fell into madness due to mistakes in the research process and disappeared. It is said that some people once saw his figure wandering alone on the sea, but did not dare to return home for fear that he would make a big mistake again.
Having absorbed too much royal power but unable to control it, he almost destroyed the entire great temple in pain and chaos. If the teacher had not arrived in time, I am afraid that no one present would have survived, and this brand-new and majestic temple in front of him
, was rebuilt thirteen years after the tragedy, but the foundation from that time is still retained. If you carefully observe the huge pillars or solemn arches under the ceiling of the great temple, you may still be able to find that
A trace of time left behind.
I hope that we will not repeat the same mistakes in the future, and hope that this kind of peace can be maintained forever.
Fei thought to herself, then silently withdrew her gaze and walked into the great temple. She was originally teaching the locals the mysteries of magic and knowledge of agriculture, handicrafts and commerce in another city in the Midgrad Plains, hoping to make it
Prosperity and strength. Only one Aldes city is not enough. Only more Aldes cities and more extraordinary beings can emerge to always ensure that human power is not inferior to other races. The current
Only peace can last long.
However, an order came from the Grand Temple of Aldes City, which recalled her to the Holy City after a long absence. After receiving the order, she did not dare to delay for even a moment, and returned urgently after explaining the matters in hand.
, for fear that if she arrived late, she would delay something important. This kind of worry is absolutely not excessive, because the person who issued that edict was named Tumi Omironsi. He was not only her teacher, but also praised by all people.
The saint of men. Nowadays, he has a more widely known name——
St. Thumi.
…
The great temple enshrines the great goddess Mianxia and her fourteen sacred descendants. The goddess Mianxia is the pioneer of the universe and the creator of all things, and her descendants are the protectors of living creatures and the guides of mankind.
Without their power to pass down the royal power, it would be difficult for mankind to rise in that turbulent era. Therefore, even though time was tight, Fei closed her eyes and prayed in front of these statues one by one, reciting the scriptures of the Spiritual Prayer Meeting, with incomparable piety.
Completed a whole set of procedures with the gesture.
Among them, in addition to being enshrined under the crown of the goddess, she stayed for a relatively long time in front of the statue of the King of Darkness, the master of all darkness, nothingness and soul, and the Lord of Night Carabosse. This is because at the beginning
While studying with her teacher, the thirteen disciples, including her, were each responsible for researching a royal artifact, and the royal artifact she corresponded to happened to be the eternal dark gem that symbolized the law of darkness, so she received the favor of the night.
, to master the power that calms the mind and spirit.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The kingship corresponding to her teacher is destiny, and he sometimes behaves as if he can see the future.
After finishing the prayer, Fei left the side door of the main hall, walked through the long corridor and atrium, and came to the relatively secluded side hall. This is the place where the saints devote themselves to practice, so there are not many guards and priests.
Two knights in silver armor stood outside the door of the study hall, silently guarding the silence here.
When they saw Fei, they bowed silently, turned around and pushed the heavy stone door open. The dust was shaken, and the creaking sound made people feel a little bit sad. It also reminded Fei of a past incident when she was studying with her teacher.
, due to her own lack of strength, she had to rely on others to push the door for her every time, and she once complained to the teacher, but at that time, the teacher just looked at her calmly, and then said meaningfully: "You
What we are about to do is far more difficult than opening this door."
Now, with her strength, it is easy to open the door, but can the difficult thing that she vowed to complete in the past be said to have been successful? Maybe it is still on the way, but no matter what, it is still
I see hope.
Fei thanked the two guarding knights, and then walked into the study hall. The interior space was vast, but the shape was quite primitive. It was just a semicircular building made purely of stone bricks, and the furnishings were also very simple.
Along the left wall are rows of bookshelves, which are piled with books, parchments and scrolls. There is only a rectangular stone table in the center of the hall and a dozen stone benches. The stone benches are not fixed and can be
They are moved, so the order of seating does not matter.
In the past, teachers would often sit casually on a stone bench, share their research results with students gathered in a circle, and discuss its feasibility. However, this discussion was not entirely harmonious, and sometimes even broke out.
Fierce debates are not only between students and students, but also between teachers and students. However, the contradiction will only be reflected in the issue itself and will never extend to other places. The teacher will not argue because of which student has always opposed it.
I feel disgusted with myself.
The relationship between the saint and his disciples is called teacher and student, but in fact there is no sense of distance.
"Fei, you're late."
At this time, the stone benches in the study hall were already full of people. A girl with short white hair and a cold temperament raised her head and glanced at Fei, who had arrived late at the last moment. Her tone seemed to be reproachful, but in fact she was comforting her.
: "You were made to wait for three minutes, and you will not be allowed to eat for a month as a punishment... Well, Tatar."
Tatar is a roll wrapped with grilled meat, cabbage and various seasonings. It was Fei's favorite food during her school days and accompanied her through many difficult nights.
Although Fei doesn't like to eat that kind of burrito anymore, she still smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mingtai, I was delayed due to some things when we set off. How about I treat you to Tatar later?"
?”
The girl known as Mingte pursed her lips tightly, a flash of heartbeat flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head, not wanting others to see this look. At this time, another black-haired girl
The middle-aged man with brown eyes, a calm and majestic temperament raised his head and glanced at Fei, and said solemnly: "I'm just a few minutes late. You came from the West Midgrad area. You were already in a hurry. Don't worry about it. Sit down first.
Bar."
"kindness."
Fei nodded obediently, and then found a seat to sit down, right next to Mingte. She spoke when others were not paying attention, and silently said thank you to the white-haired girl. The latter did not look sideways, but was insignificant.
He nodded his chin consciously to express receipt. Looking at her serious look, Fei couldn't help laughing.
It's still the same as it was many years ago, fate is the same, and so is Kenos.
Kenos is the middle-aged man who just spoke. He is also the earliest disciple to follow his teacher. He not only contributes a lot to the research on the royal artifacts, but also has a high status in the hearts of the disciples. He is a master
He formulated various rules for the saint's sect, strictly restricting what everyone can and cannot do. Later, it was extended to become the official law of Aldes City. Now he is responsible for the judicial and law enforcement affairs of this great city.
The majesty increases day by day.
Being late is not a big deal for the saint's disciples, but it also loses their status. If Mingte hadn't spoken in advance and "blamed" Fei just now, the person who would have reprimanded her would have been Kenos. Fei didn't want to experience that
This feeling made me say thank you to the girl.
After sitting down, Fei looked around again, and familiar figures came into view. Compared with many years ago, they seemed to have changed a lot, but they didn't seem to have changed much. The only thing in common was that they were already among humans and even
She had a great reputation throughout the continent, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Time passed, and it was no longer what it was yesterday.
"King of the Ring" Kenos, "Disaster Blade" Abraham, "Sky Knight" Dist, "Death Eye" Vanos, "Sleeper" Patricia, "Spiritual Guide" Enos,
...Except for the "Crimson Disaster" Mercantius, who had fallen into madness, the twelve saints of the Spiritual Prayer Meeting gathered here.
There is undoubtedly only one person who has the ability to summon them.
In the study hall, when the last saint Fei also sat down, everyone's eyes were invariably focused on the old man in the center of the crowd. It was the same as when he was able to conduct experiments in the study hall for seven consecutive days and nights many years ago.
Compared with his abundant energy, he is much older now, but aging has not silenced this soul, but has made him more stubborn. His posture sitting there is even straighter than it was many years ago, like a flagpole.
He doesn't know how to bend, and his whole person exudes a towering temperament from the inside out, like a mountain, without anger and self-power. This kind of temperament makes everyone who faces him unconsciously ignore his full head.
Instead of looking down at the bleak white hair and the old grooves on his face, he lowered his head, feeling awe and shaken from the bottom of his heart.
In front of this old man, they were still like the ignorant young man fifty years ago, feeling that they knew nothing about the world and could only wait for his reprimands and teachings.
This can be said to be the majesty of the saint. It is not the product of power and power, but the extremely dazzling deeds: crossing the sea of stars, exploring the power of kingship; analyzing spirituality, and creatively creating a world for mankind.
The path to transcendence; establishing a spiritual prayer meeting to unite the beliefs of human city-states in the form of religion; personally reforming agriculture, commerce and handicrafts, being the most powerful person but willing to lower his profile and care about the lives of the people of dust... these are the things that do not require
Boasting deeds whose mere existence is enough to prove their significance makes the saints who are extremely respected and noble in the eyes of the world bow their heads in awe and listen to his words.
When discussing academic matters, both teachers and students can speak freely and argue with each other; however, when discussing matters other than academic matters, among all the disciples, only the Curse King Kenos dared to take the initiative to speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed directly to the core of today's gathering:
"Teacher, you have gathered us here today. We must have something important to discuss. However, the instructions are unclear, and the key point is not reached. Can you make it clear for us?"
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the study hall suddenly became much quieter, and even the sound of breathing became fainter. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the teacher's answer. For some reason, they all had a premonition, as if this answer was extremely important.
It will even change the fate of many people.
Saint Toumi slowly raised his head and looked around. His eyes stayed on the faces of the students one by one, taking in all their different expressions. Finally, he returned to Chenos. He spoke in a low voice,
But he still said in a firm tone: "The world is about to change, and humans should prepare early. I intend to select four people from among you to unify the cities, establish a country, and spread the glory of the goddess and the fourteen crowns to all races.
This land makes all spiritual beings in the world come to worship. This is because——"
