This is a very direct question, but it is not a problem for the vast majority of believers in the world. Wright nodded matter-of-factly without much thought: "Of course, a firm belief is as a clergyman "Basically."
"It can be seen that you are even better than most senior priests in practicing the way of the Holy Light." Pittman smiled, "It is rare in this era. I see some clergymen who follow the scriptures as meticulously as you do."
"The 'Holy Law Reform' in Anzu 503 caused many clergymen to become less strict with themselves. That reform. It makes it easier to release many magical arts and sacred rituals, and also gives many low-level clergy who could not be promoted the opportunity to be promoted. Objectively, this greatly fills the manpower of the clergy team, and also allows other churches to gain from it. "The enlightenment brought about the great development of various sects," Wright talked eloquently. Normally, it would be hard to see that this meaty melee priest would have such solid theological knowledge, but as long as someone sat down and talked to him about the Holy Spirit, Just because of his faith, he will show such a knowledgeable and talkative side, "The increase in clergy is a good thing, but it is also a fact that more and more people no longer pay attention to the warnings about the character of the mind in the way of the Holy Light... However, No matter what, I believe that devout people still make up the majority, and the Holy Light will eventually lead people to do good."
"Is the Holy Law reformed..." Pitman said unhurriedly, " Pope Ditus summarized the rules from a large number of magical arts and rituals, discovered the "key points" in various magical arts and sacred rituals, and found that as long as these points are followed reasonably, it is enough to trigger the miracles of the gods, thus greatly simplifying the release The threshold of divine magic. In the process of summarizing the laws, the bishops of the same period also discovered shortcuts to strengthen the effect of faith through self-proof, self-examination, self-questioning, etc. The discovery of this series of laws greatly reduced the difficulty of becoming a mid-to-high-level priest. The Holy Light Church, which was the first to carry out the reform of the Holy Law, also took this opportunity to become the most powerful religion in the world - this power continues to this day."
Wright is quite a bit. Looking at Pitman in surprise: "I didn't expect you to know a lot about this? I thought druids wouldn't be interested in the knowledge of the Holy Light."
"It's just the history of religion, so that's okay. It's nothing more than the knowledge of the Holy Light," Pitman shook his head and said, "It can be seen that you are a priest who follows the path of classical cultivation. You always ask yourself according to the most traditional Holy Light scriptures... I don't know what you know about it. What do you think of those priests who take shortcuts?"
Wright was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "They have their own way, and I have mine. The Holy Light will take care of them, too. Will take care of me. Since the Holy Light shines on each of us fairly, it means that there is no right or wrong path - naturally I am not qualified to evaluate their path."
"Really? "Pitman shook his head, "I'm just curious, what would the God of Holy Light think if he knew that some people relied on taking shortcuts to gain power - those clergy who are not strict with themselves only need to follow the rules after the 'Holy Law Reform'By using the scriptures to perform rituals and release divine magic, they can obtain the power of the Holy Light. But usually they even drink, fight, gamble, extort high ransoms from civilians, and exchange poor-quality holy water made after a hangover for money from poor people's homes. The last straw, the Holy Light's favor for them will not weaken at all. Don't you think this is a very strange thing? ”
If a mainstream Holy Light priest were here, he would probably be furious after hearing Pittman’s words, but Wright is obviously not a mainstream priest. He always thinks about the Holy Light first. He didn't care about anything else, so after hearing Pittman's words, he couldn't help but think about it. He thought for half a minute before raising his head: "I can't answer your question. "
Pittman was stunned. He stared at the priest in front of him with wide eyes: "I thought you would try hard to come up with a theory to convince me - do you admit that my doubts about the Holy Light are Correct? "
"I don't admit your doubts about the Holy Light, but I really can't answer your question," Wright replied calmly, "The way of the Holy Light warned me to face my heart honestly. , If you don’t know, you just don’t know. But I think the disgraceful behaviors you mentioned must not be the original intention of the Holy Light - those priests with bad character do exist. I had conflicts with many of them when I was in the central region, but they The evil deeds stem from their own inner instability. They use deception and trickery to benefit themselves, rather than the Holy Light or the God of Holy Light seeking benefits with the help of these bad priests - what benefits do the gods have? What about taking it from mortals? "
Pittman held up the glass of water, raised his eyelids and looked at Wright: "For example...faith? ”
“If it was really to gain the faith of mortals, the God of Holy Light would not allow those evil deeds to exist,” Wright seemed to have finally caught the contradiction in Pittman’s words. He smiled. "Justice and kindness will make people cling, just like people will naturally yearn for light. "
Pitman looked steadily at the confident pastor and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "...but sometimes fear and violence can have the same power." ”
……
Dark Mountains, eastern extension.
An elite force is operating on the winding mountain road. They wear lightweight clothing with fine texture. Armor, carrying a variety of light weapons that are easy to use in mountain combat. They move in an orderly and well-disciplined manner. They can even walk on flat ground in the dark mountains with harsh conditions. All signs are proving that this is a team. A well-trained and capable team.
But there are no signs of identity on their bodies, and even their weapons are deliberately concealed. Whether they are swords or crossbows, they are all senior servants. The conventional weapons used by the soldiers, if judged only from their appearance, it would be easy to confuse them with the desperate mercenaries.
This team and several other troops are already operating in the Dark Mountains. In two days, since leaving Ansu and Typhon,After the border, these infiltrators from the Typhon Empire have been moving closer to the depths of Anzu.
Their mission is to use the winding mountain roads in the dark mountains to bypass the steel defense line set up by Duke Laurent in the eastern border of Ansu, and to find out the country's defense situation in the southeast region. After sending back the intelligence, they They also have to find ways to lurk, join up with other infiltrating troops and form a "hidden nail" that pierces the enemy's flesh and blood, and wait for the opportunity while carrying out various sabotage operations. When the war breaks out, the damage they have caused will be It was enough to deal a heavy blow to Ansu.
There is more than one team entering the Dark Mountains, but this team is the most powerful among the several teams. High-level Elf Ranger Solderin is the commander of the team. He jumped on A protruding mountain rock, one can easily control the balance of the body on the top of the rock, and overlook the vast plains and forests at the northern foot of the Dark Mountain Range.
At this distance, humans can't see anything, but they can distinguish almost all the smoke and frightened birds from the hazy forest and the mist floating above the forest. Bird, based on this, he can roughly judge how many human settlements there are within the field of vision, as well as the approximate size of these settlements.
After some observation, the high-level elf ranger jumped down from the boulder and gave a concise order: "It's safe here, rest for thirty minutes."
Typhon soldiers Immediately find a hiding place, seize the time to relax your waist and legs, drink water and eat - although they are all elites, no matter how elite the troops are, they cannot all be extraordinary professionals like Solderin. The Typhon Empire is the most powerful The main force of the army is still composed of 90% ordinary people, and this team of only a dozen people has a high-level elf ranger, three low-level knights, and a mage. This is already quite amazing. ratio of extraordinary beings, but low-level extraordinary beings still need to rest in this case.
The soldiers began to regain their strength while discussing in low voices what they saw and heard along the way after entering the Dark Mountains - this death zone that was rumored to be cut off from life in the outside world was not as popular in their eyes as in the legend. It was terrifying. Although after entering the mountain, I encountered some monsters that were mutated and deformed due to the influence of magic, no desperate and powerful enemies appeared. On the contrary, the steep mountains and some poisonous plants seemed more dangerous.
Although everyone knew that they were walking next to the Gondor Wasteland, as long as they did not go to the southern foot of the mountains and face the Black Forest, the pressure of the Gondor Wasteland would not make them too strong. nervous.
A knight-level warrior took out a map-drawing tool and marked key forks and mountain road directions on the rough hand-drawn map, while his companion beside him took out a map with small holes. After opening the metal cylinder, a pitch-black "flying insect" was released from the inside. With a subtle sound, the black flying insect rushed into the sky like lightning and quickly disappeared from the sight of the soldiers.
What looks like flying insects is actually the madness of magicians.The creation of the experiment, with a thin trace of Warcraft blood, it has extremely fast flying speed and can be artificially trained. In this kind of dispersed team operation, the trained messenger flying insects can conveniently confirm the situation and location of each team. Orientation is a very useful thing.
Solderin raised his head and glanced in the direction where the flying insects disappeared, then withdrew his gaze and leaned on the rock with his eyes closed to rest. His overly neutral face was obscured by his long golden hair. At first glance, people who don't know the truth might even regard her as a heroic female warrior - however, none of the Typhon soldiers resting nearby would look down upon this slim-looking elf ranger, because this The famous name of this ranger is known to everyone near and far.
"Blonde Solderin", this is his widely circulated name in the mercenary world of Typhon, and this name is obviously related to his blond hair - but only those who are interested in it Only those who know something about Silver Elf will understand the true meaning of this name and the powerful power behind this name.
Silver elves are an ancient race living in the southern part of the continent. These forest descendants whose bloodline is closest to the ancient "original elves" have many differences from humans, except for their special brain nerve structure and supporting equipment. In addition to the elven spells, another characteristic of the silver elves is that their hair color changes as their strength increases - the silver elves in a non-combat state all have blond hair, but as they inspire the hidden power in their bodies, Power, powerful magic will cause their hair to be infected by elemental power. When a silver elf exerts 70% of its power, its hair color will completely turn to silver, and its combat effectiveness will also rise linearly until they Until the end of the explosion of power.
This is where the four words "Silver Elf" come from.
However, no one has ever seen the "blond-haired Solderin" after raising his power to 70% - he always faces his enemies with the most calm and calm attitude, even if Even in the face of the biggest challenges, his blond hair never changes.
Thus, he received this extremely special title.
