As the sanctuary of the true God, this church is too simple.
There is neither a splendid temple nor a magnificent dome. Even the statues enshrined on the Holy Seat are only made of wood. Not to mention following the practices of the Nordorn Holy Religion countries and decorating them with gold and silver.
The unknown church in the countryside also knows that only the best stone can be used
Creating the majesty of a god can better demonstrate one's piety. But this extremely simple god in front of him made Carson Berg feel a sacred and noble temperament. As Pastor Ringer said, he is
A benevolent and loving goddess, this is felt with the heart, not superficially.
Following the inspiration of his heart, the Eagle of Ash Hill bowed his head to the statue of God on the throne. At the same time, he put his left hand on his forehead and drew a circle with his right hand on his heart, offering a sincere prayer to Him. This was entirely out of necessity.
It was an instinctive move, but I came to my senses
After arriving, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking how could he do such an impulsive and rude thing? Not to mention that the act of offering prayers without knowing whether the goddess was an evil god might expose himself.
In the opponent's field of vision, being
Paying attention to a true god is not something to be happy about. If it is an evil god, it can be described as terrible. How many ignorant people have mistakenly entered the church of the evil god in the remote wilderness, and they are based on the most basic respect for the god.
to it
After praying, he inexplicably signed a contract with the evil god, and everything from body to soul was sold. The experience accumulated over a long period of time tells every Eastern Continent person that prayer is a serious matter. If there is no promise,
Don't do it arbitrarily.
What's more serious is that he still prayed to the true god with the identity and etiquette of a pagan. This is tantamount to a naked provocation. Not to mention the evil god, he is the true god of all spirits revered by the Nordorn Holy Religion countries.
I can never stand this kind of blasphemy. How can I touch the wrath of God lightly?
Carson Berg never thought that someone as calm as himself would one day make such an unwise move. He couldn't explain his mood at the time, but he naturally felt the emotion when he saw the statue under the crown of the goddess.
He thought that he should pay tribute and pray to her. Generally speaking, this kind of trick to control people's hearts is a common trick used by the evil god, but Carson Berg could not connect this goddess with the evil god. It even seemed that
It is a great disrespect to have even the slightest similar thoughts in your heart.
Will Pastor Linge believe this explanation?
Carson Berg glanced at the other party hesitantly, but found that Pastor Ringer's face was very calm, and he was not angry because of the pagan's disrespectful behavior towards the goddess. Even judging from his reaction, he felt that this was
A matter of course? In any case, Carson Berg breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he would never conflict with the Ringer pastor.
This is not fear, it should be said that it is based on some complex emotions mixed with recognition and admiration.
"Please sit down and talk, sir." Pastor Linge pointed to the row of seats at the front of the altar and said.
"Carson Berg, you can call me by my name directly." He quickly reported his name.
"Okay, Mr. Carson."
Pastor Ringer took the seat first, and then Carson Berg followed suit. However, the two did not sit on the same oak bench. They were separated by a distance based on safety and courtesy. This was because both of them were still there.
They both knew that they didn't fully trust each other, and there was no need to show off.
After taking his seat, Carson Berg naturally noticed that on both sides of the church hall, there were more than a dozen angular and weird-looking mechanical devices neatly placed in the shadows. They all seemed to be made of steel.
The surface has a cold sheen unique to metal, and is also inlaid with large pieces of glass - not stained glass with a religious color, but pure square glass. The interior is dark and profound, as if it has some kind of magical power.
His sight and attention are drawn to the mysterious magic in the air.
Combined with those large and small rod-shaped devices and operating buttons, to be honest, they reminded Carson Berg of magic instruments - magic instruments uniformly equipped in the armies of the axis countries in the Western Continent, with similar capabilities to the holy ones.
Although the effect of the relic is much weaker, it is better because it can be mass-produced, and the threshold for use is very low. Even children who have just awakened to spirituality can use it. It can be as small as the most basic magic detection device, as large as
Airships, magic chariots and constructed mechs have all produced outstanding results on the battlefield, causing the "Holy Alliance" in the Eastern Continent to suffer losses many times. It is said that the Allies have begun to study the principles of magic weapons and imitate them.
Yes, it was a major change that historians hailed as the Magical Reform. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Noah, which was located on the south side of the Ansers Mountains. Naturally, it had nothing to do with the Ash Guerrilla and Carson Borg.
The Ash Rangers also obtained a batch of relatively backward models of magic devices through ambushes, sneak attacks, and smuggling, such as the magic furnaces, magic guns, and detection devices used by the Crusaders, which are indeed very useful.
It's a pity that it's very difficult for them to survive. Where do they get the money and energy to study these things? At most, they just treat them as more useful weapons.
For these reasons, Carson Berg couldn't help but take another look at those weird machines, thinking how could the magic weapon of the Westlanders appear in the sanctuary of the true God? Could it be that this church is also studying the so-called magic tool?
?It should be kept in a more hidden place, such as the research institute? What is the purpose of placing it here in a grand manner?
At this time, Pastor Ringer seemed to have noticed Carson Berg's abnormal behavior and guessed what he was thinking. He calmly said: "That is not a magic weapon, but a sacred object of this church."
"Holy object!?"
Carson Berg was shocked because Pastor Ringer was talking about holy objects rather than holy relics. Although there is only one word difference between the two, their meanings are completely different. Holy relics are extraordinary objects that can be man-made.
Creation can also be conceived naturally. The former relies on the remaining laws of magic or strong emotional drive. After the death of a strong demigod above Sequence 4,
The remaining magic power will definitely form holy relics, and ordinary people may also produce holy relics when driven by strong emotions such as despair or pain; the latter can occur through some special secret realms, or widely circulated legends and secrets.
The larger the scope involved and the more people affected, the more powerful and dangerous the sacred relics are.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The holy objects have only one meaning: they are symbols of the true God.
When you see a holy object, you will be guided to the glory of the gods. For humans, it is like their blood; for countries, it is like their culture; for civilization, it is like their history, it is so unique.
One, noble, inviolable existence. Religion in the Eastern Continent
In history, the most famous sacred object is the original manuscript of "The First Interpretation of Spirituality" left by Saint Tumi. It is a symbol of the beginning of the glorious era of mankind. As long as the Spiritual Prayer Society still keeps this sacred object, no matter what the experience
No matter how many catastrophes, turmoil or changes, it has always been able to stand firm.
Although there are recent rumors that the real manuscript of "First Interpretation of Spirituality" has been unearthed on the continent across the sea, and that the manuscript kept in the Holy Church of Nordorn is only a fake, but anyone with a normal mind
No one would believe such nonsense, and would only regard it as a rumor deliberately spread by the Axis forces in order to undermine the morale of the Allied forces. Moreover, it was such a low-grade rumor that could be exposed without any proof, which is really despicable.
This is the first time that Carson Berg has seen a church's sacred objects. They must be very sacred. It would be considered blasphemy for a pagan to take another look at them. But the problem is that they are placed casually in this hall.
It was so conspicuous that if he avoided looking at it, it would actually seem a bit deliberate.
The Gray Hill Eagle coughed lightly and asked tentatively: "I don't mean to offend, but Pastor Linge, if all the sacred objects of your religion are placed here, so that even outsiders like me can observe them at will, will you?
Are there some...negligent things?"
He really wanted to say "disrespectful", but it would probably offend the other person, so he changed to a more euphemistic way of saying it.
Pastor Ringer shook his head slightly and said: "Game consoles are originally meant to bring happiness to people, so naturally they should be placed closest to their players."
Game console? Is it the name of those holy objects? It sounds weird. Whether it is Common Language, Ancient Language, or the older Aldesian language, there seems to be no similar word form. Bring happiness?
Does it mean that its effect is reflected in the soul, can it purify people's hearts and return to their essence? In this case, it must not be some evil church. Play
Home? What is that? I heard that believers in some churches call themselves "Lambs" or "Sinners" to show that they still need guidance from God or forgiveness from God. Could it be that the believers in this church call themselves "Lambs" or "Sinners"?
"Player"? But I really can't hear the profound connotation of this claim. Is it because I am short-sighted and fail to see through it?
Carson Berg tried to outline the general outline of this mysterious church through the clues in front of him, but in the end he became more and more confused. Pastor Ringer looked at him deeply and said calmly: "If you are willing,
, you can experience it for yourself.”
Carson Berg felt unbelievable: "Isn't it possible that only believers of your religion can touch these sacred objects?"
According to common sense, you must be an extremely devout believer, such as Pastor Ringe in front of you. Before touching the sacred objects, you need to perform a series of complicated rituals, such as bathing, praying in a quiet room, baptism with hymns, etc.
, only then are you qualified to use one of your knuckles to personally touch the legacy of the great true God on earth.
The glory. As for the use of holy objects? Carson Borg has never had a similar concept in his mind. The Holy Theocracy of Nordorn has kept the original manuscript of the "First Interpretation of Spirituality" by the saint Tutumi for a long time.
But even during the most difficult period, I didn't hear that they wanted to use the power of this sacred object.
The young man said seriously: "Regardless of beliefs, different races, no pursuit of wealth, no distinction between high and low, the goddess only hopes that the fun of the game can be passed on to everyone's heart and create a peaceful and tranquil world."
Carson Berg was speechless for a while, and then he said sincerely: "It is true that you are serving a noble and generous man. I am happy for you, Pastor Ringo."
He could hear that there was no falsehood in Pastor Ringer's words. Of course, there are some extraordinary abilities that can conceal the true feelings and even modify emotions, causing others to have wrong perceptions. But if Pastor Ringer activates similar abilities,
There's no way you wouldn't notice it
, as the leader of the Ashes Guerrilla, Carson Borg has this confidence. No matter what he has experienced in the past, he is a Sequence 5 transcendent, and has already touched the threshold of Sequence 4. However, due to certain
Due to special reasons, I have never sought to advance.
Pastor Ringer nodded slightly, accepted the compliment on behalf of the goddess, and then said: "Now that the gossip has been settled, please let us get to the point, Mr. Carson. Although it is for me to ask this question, it may be a bit presumptuous.
, but I still want you to tell me the purpose of your coming here."
It's indeed a bit overstepping the mark.
Logically speaking, the person who should ask this question is Carson Borg. After all, this was originally the 11th stronghold of the Ashes Guerrillas, and Pastor Ringer and his church were the outsiders. But Carson Borg
But he didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "I came here for the supplies stored in the stronghold."
"The supplies in the stronghold?" Pastor Ringer thought of something and asked: "Are you referring to the food and medicine in those cabins?"
"That's right!" A bright light flashed in Carson Berg's eyes: "Pastor Ringer, what you are asking means...are they still intact inside the stronghold?"
"No." The young man shook his head: "No more."
Gone!?
How is that possible? Could it be that the raids by the 17th Legion finally affected Stronghold No. 11? After clearing away all the materials stored in the stronghold, only the stronghold itself was left undamaged, just to lure us at the right time.
Stepping into a trap? The reason why Pastor Ringo knew that food and medicine was stored in it was probably because the enemy troops did not sweep carefully enough and missed some traces.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As an experienced resistance fighter, Carson Berg quickly figured out the cause and effect of the incident, but this did not make him have any thoughts.
His sense of pride only deepened the pain in his heart. He took huge risks and did not hesitate to fight with a person who came from a different background.
Isn't the purpose of the unknown church's contact with this batch of supplies stored in the stronghold? If there is no food, his companions will starve; if there is no medicine, the seriously injured members of the team will not receive treatment; and if the consumed supplies are not replenished,
With potions and extraordinary materials, they don’t even have the energy to launch the next counterattack!
Carson Berg lowered his head, and the hands on his thighs were covered with scars and calluses. After trembling for a while, he gradually calmed down. This was just a small dilemma, the Gray Hill Eagle told himself.
In the past six years since the establishment of Ashes Guerrilla,
He has experienced more difficult situations, and has been in desperate situations that could lead to the destruction of the Ashes Guerrilla more than once, but none of these can make him discouraged and give up. This man has the same perseverance and awareness as he looks, which is what his companions and comrades deeply appreciate.
Reasons to trust him.
As long as I'm here, there will always be a way.
Carson Berg raised his head with firm eyes. He had already thought about how to announce the disappointing news to everyone when he returned, and how to encourage and lead them out of the predicament and face the next challenge. Difficulties and setbacks could not defeat him.
, will only cheer him up again.
He was about to say goodbye to Pastor Ringer, but he couldn't help but was startled because he happened to meet those golden eyes with a gentle smile.
"That batch of supplies is no longer in your stronghold." He chuckled and said, "There were some flaws in your storage measures. When we discovered it, some of the food, medicines and potions in it had already begun to deteriorate.
So we had to temporarily transfer it to a more suitable place for storage. Of course, except for the lost part, we have not touched a single bit of this batch of materials. They can be returned to their original owners at any time. We just hope
Just don’t blame us for making arbitrary decisions.”
