Under the guidance of Matilda, Aiwass once again passed through a green light curtain.
He felt the strange touch again, like running his fingers through soap bubbles.
While there was a cardinal beside him, Aiwass asked curiously, "What is this, Cardinal Matilda?"
"The Curtain of Temperance"< /p>
Matilda glanced at it and replied, "This is the blessing of the twin mirrors. To put it simply, things that are too fast cannot pass through it. The faster the speed, the greater the force of the rebound." ."
"If you are too fast, you can't pass, but if you are slow, can you pass?"
Aiwass murmured.
Then this is not equivalent to a speed bump
"Yes. This way everyone will not run in the corridor and collide with each other. If someone invades, attack It can't penetrate this light curtain."
Matilda said warmly, "If you can learn advanced magic, you can also set up your own screen of control."
Very well. Obviously, Cardinal Matilda knew what Aiwass was doing here.
She led Aiwass around and walked to a palace-like or bathing-like building.
The surroundings are surrounded by vegetation, but there is a bathtub in the middle of the room. Inside is a golden liquid steaming with white smoke, which is shining with gentle light at the moment. This was obviously consecrated holy water, exuding a citrus aroma and a strong aroma of alcohol. And it is suspended with knotted vine buttons one after another, looking like a pot of soup.
"This is holy water boiled from marigolds and orange blossoms picked at noon."
Cardinal Matilda smiled tenderly and extended her hand to introduce to Aiwass "Mixed with grain wine, ginseng, blackberry leaves, holly and grapevine that have been stored for more than thirty years. Boiled with burned pine bark and bishop grass."
This is to put me in Cook it?
Aiwass looked at the blue-haired female elf and hesitated for a moment.
This pool is obviously still boiling
And under Aiwass's gaze, Matilda reached out and operated. The pool stopped boiling.
She ordered Aiwass, "Take off your clothes, including all your underwear. You go in and soak first, and I will help you get other things. The temperature should be suitable, and there is no need to worry about contamination." This pool is for one person only.
"Clothes can be placed here temporarily. I'll take it with you when you leave. "
As she spoke, she pointed to the wooden basin next to her and left thoughtfully.
Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Mattie Erda's age is probably several times older than his own age with a zero added to it, but Aiwass would be too embarrassed to take off his clothes if she was watching him
Because he doesn't know Mathile. When Da came back, he quickly took off his clothes and got into the hot spring.
The strong aroma of orange blossoms accompanied by the smell of wine made Aiwass moan in comfort.
The water temperature in this pool is over 80 degrees, which is equivalent to freshly brewed hot tea. It can instantly burn the skin of ordinary people.
But to Aiwass, it was like ordinary warm water. He didn't even need to adapt to the temperature before he could dive right into it, which surprised Aiwass himself.
He observed that even his own skin was not red. He closed his eyes and soaked for a long time, feeling his spirit relaxed, but Matilda hadn't come back yet. So he opened his eyes out of boredom, and shrank under the water with interest, spitting bubbles like a child.
Since the transformation of the body after the advancement ceremony was completed, all the excess body hair on Aiwass’s body has been removed, and his skin has become fairer and more tender than before. But it actually became more resilient.
Nowadays, let alone ordinary people, even extraordinary people holding ordinary daggers or swords can hardly cut Aiwass's skin.
Although he has not been attacked yet, Aiwass is very confident that most of the current bullets cannot break through the defense of his skin. Even if he is burned by flames, Aiwass will not be burned. Even if he is tied to the stake, he will not burn to death at all. Death by suffocation is more likely than burning to death.
He is not yet able to escape oxygen. Therefore, it is still very dangerous if it is sunk at sea.
But with Aiwass’s current physical fitness, he can probably swim directly back to the nearest land.
From this moment on, he truly transcended mortals and would no longer be killed by mortals with weapons due to chance and conspiracy.
No wonder, extraordinary people from various countries basically only reach high positions after reaching the fourth energy level
Now Aiwass fully understands why.
Aiwass soaked for a while.
When the water temperature dropped to forty or fifty degrees, Cardinal Matilda arrived belatedly.
She looked at Aiwass in the pool and had no reaction at all. She just stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, the water temperature is still enough."
As she said that, she took out a box of strange things and "drink it."< /p>
"What is this"
Aiwass looks like a bowl of tomato sauce boiled beans with a thin soup and little water from a distance.
He immediately felt resistant.
It’s not that I’m worried about poisoning, it’s mainly that this doesn’t look delicious.
“This is beans boiled in pomegranate juice.”
Matilda looks like Like a kindergarten teacher, he explained to Aiwass gently and carefully, "We compare pomegranate juice to the blood of the candle, and kidney beans can be regarded as the seeds of sin thorns. It is not fully cooked, so it is slightly toxic." But it doesn’t matter to you. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Aiwass grimaced and drank it.
Undercooked vegetablesThe beans have a bitter taste, and the boiled pomegranate juice is not very sweet, but extremely sour. Aiwass drank them as if he were drinking medicine. He had not experienced this for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Matilda stuffed a dried date into Aiwass's mouth. Aiwass chewed it subconsciously, feeling the sweetness flowing down his throat, and his frown became better.
"Come out, Aiwass."
She pointed to the open space with the red carpet and motioned for Aiwass to get out of the pool.
Although he was a little shy, Aiwass still pretended to be nonchalant and came out of the swimming pool.
Without Matilda doing anything, the traces of water on Aiwass’s body were completely evaporated. His skin was steaming with white smoke visible to the naked eye, exuding an intoxicating smell of orange blossom.
Matilda quickly took out a plate of ointment and smeared it on Aiwass's body skillfully.
How should I put it, if Matilda looked older, Aiwass wouldn't be so shy. But she looked too young, which made Aiwass feel like she was being cared for like a child.
Fortunately, Matilda was still explaining to Aiwass, "This is a special consecration oil mixed with cinnamon essential oil and coconut oil. It is only used during the ceremony of marking the steps, symbolizing the sun." The joint protection with the moon can also be extended to the joint protection of the Nine Pillars. "
The ceremony of ranking refers to the promotion ceremony to the holy rank of bishop and above, which is why Cardinal Matilda was adopted. The reason why it is called division rank.
Soon, she finished applying the ointment on Aiwass’s body.
After that, she took out a complete set of bishop's clothes. They radiated heat, as if they had just been roasted by fire. Every time Aiwass put on something, he felt a burning sensation coming from the junction between the clothes and his skin, as if he had just been soaked in pepper water or smeared with chili oil.
Aiwass looked down and found that there was something wrong with the style of the clothes.
He had already worn the clothes of a bishop once during the previous promotion ceremony.
Now, the style of clothes he is wearing seems to be a little different
"Wait, Cardinal Matilda."
Aiwas reminded "Did you get the wrong clothes?"
Although this clothes is generally red, it has many golden decorations.
The biggest difference from the bishop is that its robe is golden instead of crimson.
These are not the clothes of a bishop, but of an archbishop.
That is, at the same level as Bishop Mathers, he can be in charge of the capital church of a certain country. This is already the highest level that humans can reach under normal circumstances.
Although it is indeed the fourth level that can be promoted to the Archbishop, not all fourth levels are archbishops. The upgrade speed of Holy Orders is usually slower than the upgrade of extraordinary ability levels.
In other words, it is much slower.
Because being promoted to archbishop means becoming the spokesperson of the Nine Pillars Church in this region. Therefore, multiple issues such as merit, character, qualifications, beliefs, and influence must be comprehensively considered. The meetings of the Immortals are so slow that in some places, the bishops have long been qualified for promotion, but they are still delaying promotion.
It wasn’t intentional or the kind of back-and-forth in a Round Table Hall meeting. It’s just pure procrastination.
There’s no rush anyway, let’s talk about it in a few years.
"That's right."
Cardinal Matilda took a deep look at Aiwass and replied, "His Majesty the Pope means that you will be directly promoted to archbishop."
As a student of the seminary, Aiwass can be regarded as an assistant priest.
From aide to priest, from priest to bishop, from bishop to archbishop Aiwass can be regarded as three levels in a row.
Aiwass was not overjoyed.
It would be better to say the opposite.
He only felt a chill.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This is completely inconsistent with the rules and traditions of the Theocracy
Something is wrong, this is definitely wrong
