【———— Covenant, New Era】
Morning.
A tall man with gray hair was sitting at a table beside the quietly burning light gold elemental lamp, reading a heavy tin scripture.
He was wearing a priest's robe with gold stripes on a white background, and there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, but even if his appearance was a little old now, it did not prevent him from seeing the heroism of this man when he was young.
"Click."
Suddenly, he closed the tin pact in his hand, and there was a loud metal crash.
The man raised his head, his blue eyes like the sky and cast his side window on the coast of Sunset City, where the dark clouds had begun to gather in the sky.
"There are clouds, there is wind, and today is not suitable for going to sea...... But I'm still going. ”
The priest muttered to himself, and he stood up, then picked up the heavy holy book on the table, hung it around his waist, and locked it with chains, and made another 'click' of gold and iron.
Priests are not allowed to carry swords, knives, guns, and other weapons with sharp blades, sharp protrusions, etc., that can easily damage other people's structures. In fact, even if it is a table knife, the priests will only use a safety table knife with only half of the side serrated on the side.
Because the Lord loves all people, they make all kinds of "oaths", one of which is that they are bound to their priests, who are not allowed to use weapons and props made to harm others, nor are they allowed to engage in any kind of fighting, but only in legitimate self-defense.
In the same way, it is a felony to attack anyone, for any reason, unless the priest voluntarily breaks the 'oath' and initiates the attack.
But it was too late for the priest to look for the right weapon when he needed a legitimate defense...... And the Iron Testament, which is specially created for this purpose, is a good self-defense weapon.
The general covenant contains 1,900 pages and 1,900 pages, and weighs 9 kilograms.
It is heavy and sturdy, and can be used both as a shield for defense and as a chain for use as a meteor hammer.
The covenant not only strengthens the faith, but also strengthens personal safety, and is an essential prop for most priests to travel at home and preach and defend themselves.
At this point, the gray-haired priest was fully prepared for the trip, he extinguished the elemental lamp at his side, and silently folded his hands in the darkness and said a simple prayer.
Now, Ammon will go out to sea, to the sea where the miracle was performed last night, to worship the gods he truly believes in.
"Hello, Lord Ammon, you are out so early? Is it to worship God? ”
Leaving the room and walking down the stairs, Ammon met the innkeeper at the door, an old man with some white scales on his arms and graying hair, who was cleaning up.
Raising his head, the boss looked at the heavily armed, almost like a priest who was going to crusade against pirates, he bowed his head slightly, and whispered a blessing: "Glory to my lord, justice - may you have a good journey." ”
"Glorify my Lord and judge righteousness. Thank you for your blessings. ”
And Amon politely bowed slightly to the elder, then took out a small bag of silver coins from his bosom and handed it to the other party: "It will take a while to go to sea, please help me keep my room, don't let others in, it's troublesome." ”
"Yes, your room will always be reserved for you." The old boss put down his broom and accepted the silver coin, he narrowed his eyes, counted a small half of it, and then tried to hand the money bag containing most of the concealment back to Ammon: "We are compatriots, you are still the priest of my lord, you should not have received so much from you—"
"If you are a compatriot, you should not be so polite."
With his hands behind his back, Amon smiled softly, and instead of taking the money bag, he turned and walked away and walked out of the hotel door.
"Hey!"
The boss tried to catch up, but his legs were too handy, and when he walked out of the hotel door, Ammon's tall figure had disappeared around the corner of the street leading to the port, in the darkness of the early morning.
At this point, the boss could only accept the bag of silver coins, and he returned to the hotel with some gloom, continued to clean, and muttered to himself, "If I hadn't really been old, I would have liked to witness the miracles of my lord......"
"I can only hope that Lord Ammon is doing well with him."
At this time, walking on the street leading to the port, Ammon breathed in the salty smell of the sea and felt the special atmosphere of the port city of Sunset.
Before dawn, many people in the city had already begun to work, and the dock workers and fishermen were hurrying to prepare for today's voyage—it was the time of low tide, and if it was not at this time, it would have taken several times as much effort to go to sea.
Today, however, many people who are not workers and fishermen are also on the way to the port.
The elemental lights on the side of the road shimmered in a dim glow, illuminating the bustling crowd as they trampled on the grey rock-paved streets, mostly armed and excited, greeting each other when they met each other.
Ammon, of course, was no exception, most people knew him as a priest and saluted him, and Ammon returned the salute one by one, smiling.
If you have a keen eye, you can detect that there are some traces of white scales on these people's bodies.
The vast majority of the core inhabitants of the Land of Sacred Fire are people of fire. That is, a life with the soul of fire, the bones of wind, and the blood of judgment.
Most of the Fire Folk are humanoid, but some of them have white scales on some parts of their bodies, or dragon eyes with dragon eyes, which is a symbol of the blood of judgment.
There are also some people who have exoskeletons in some parts of their bodies, most likely descendants of their ancestors who were favored by the Wind Lord, or who intermarried with the Wind People.
Those with this anomaly tend to be closer to each other than the average Fire People, and they refer to each other as their fellow citizens, just as Ammon and the innkeeper did, and similarly, they tend to believe in gods related to their physical signs.
Yesterday evening, at the high tide, everyone in the entire Sunset City saw the stigma of the Divine Descent in the distance, which was simply the supreme good news for the believers of the Lord of Judgment, and going out to sea to approach the area where the Descent appeared was something that everyone wanted to do.
Of course, this is just a characteristic, they are all Fire People, even if they have grown exoskeletons, they are just Fire People with Wind People characteristics, these are two completely different races.
The difference between the Fire People and the Wind People is mainly whether the bones are inside or outside, but no matter what race they are, they all respect the three gods, but the Lord of Fire and the Lord of the Wind are the main gods of their people.
However, there are very few Wind Folk on the Holy Fire Continent.
It is recorded in the 'Parting Notes' that later in the 'New Era' chapter of the Covenant that after the three gods joined forces to create a new era, the Lord of the Wind took most of the Wind People and a few Fire People to another continent.
Then the Fire People lit the flame in the City of Sacred Flames, setting the first year of the New Era Elemental Calendar.
It was then that more than 200 years passed before people crossed the sea and discovered the land of the New World and the People of the Winds, proving the authenticity of the Covenant record.
In the Land of Sacred Fire, everyone is a believer in the Lord of Fire.
They worship the flame that was first lit at the beginning of the new era, believing it to be a symbol of the opening of everything.
Whether it is the sacred fire that guides the ships in each port, or the central sacred flame that burns in the Grand Temple of the Central Sanctuary, it is to guide people to live on the right path.
However, because all people are believers, it has become a form of culture, and in addition to the Lord of Fire, people also believe in the Lord of the Wind and the Lord of Judgment.
Followers of the Lord of the Wind, mostly scouts, adventurers, explorers, quirky inventors, etc.
Most of the believers in the Lord of Judgment are judges, defenders, wandering judges, and magistrates.
Only the truly knowledgeable can believe in all three gods at the same time, which represents the supreme glory and is favored by the three Lords at the same time.
It is also a mandatory requirement that only those who are recognized by the three gods at the same time be the leader of a town and the chief priest above the priests.
And Ammon is a believer in the Lord of Judgment, a judge of judgment.
His blue eyes, and a little white phosphorus behind his ears, are evidence of the manifestation of the bloodline of the Lord of Judgment - when Ammon is excited, his eyes will even transform into dragon eyes, which is also an extremely rare feature among the followers of the Lord of Judgment.
In addition to his job as a priest, he also worked part-time as a professional advocate and a loitering judge...... To put it simply, it is to defend people, and to act as a mobile adjudicator to provide services for suburban residents who are unable to travel to the courtroom to try and adjudicate the crimes of prisoners.
This time he came to Sunset City because a few days ago, there was a raid on the temple by an elite pirate fleet.
A total of three large pirate ships joined forces to raid the temple of Sunset City, and they broke through the temple's defenses and seized the fragments of the soul of the source water that were kept inside, but because they were afraid of the divine punishment of the Lord of Judgment, they returned to the sea without killing any of them after completing the mission.
The Central Templar thought that this raid was too suspicious, and that the pirates had the opportunity to raid the temple on the right - Glo, the chief priest of Sunset City, happened to go to the suburbs at that time to comfort the local farmers who had fallen short due to heavy snowfall, and left with more than half of the priests and transcendents of the entire temple, so that in the face of the pirate attack, the Sunset Temple, which was empty of guards, was powerless.
So the Templar sent Ammon to investigate the situation and check if there were any traitors and informers inside the temple.
“…… Since that rebellion more than a hundred years ago, heresy has spread more and more widely, and even within the temple, it is no longer 100% religious. ”
Reflecting on his mission, Ammon couldn't help but sigh, and while checking whether he had all the prepared items on his body, he looked at the sea in the distance, which was still dark, and his heart was full of worry and confusion: "But the lords have been silent, never answering, and let these lies fill the world. ”
"Why?"
With such doubts, at this time, he had arrived at the port of Sunset City.
The port of Sunset City is a classic building of large rocks, most of which were laid three hundred years ago by the first wave of Flame City explorers, who used stone pillars that are difficult for the sea to corrode to support the docks and docking points, and built artificial dikes to keep the harbor calm.
And next to the harbor, on a jutting coastline, stands a towering temple with a huge dome and bell tower, which looks majestic - but you can see that there is a very obvious semicircular opening in the side of the temple, and although it has been filled in half, the signs of destruction are still very obvious.
That's exactly what the pirates left behind a few months ago when they seized the Soul of the Source Soul fragment and raided it.
The fragments of the Soul of the Source Water are a strange thing that randomly appears in certain secret realms of the sea.
It resembles a crystal-like sea urchin with soft spikes, and if someone eats it, it will vary from person to person, and it has a variety of special water-related superpowers.
However, aside from rumors, the taste of the fragments of the Source Water Soul is so unpalatable that it can make people shock...... After ingesting the fragments of the source water, the devourer will lose all strength and even life as long as they leave the sea for a long time.
Therefore, even if the Holy Fire Sanctuary collects it, it is nothing more than using the power of this fragment to warn of storms at sea and the direction of fish, and will not actually use it.
In the mouths of the pirates, the fragment of the source water soul is the only fragment derived from the 'water soul' left by the masters of the first four souls - unlike the Holy Fire Sanctuary, they have been chasing the power of these fragments.
And at this point, it comes to the follow-up of the 'D&C New Era'.
Legend has it that the lords used the 'Soul of the Earth' to create the bodies of the races, then the 'Soul of Fire' to give life to the clay shells and the vitality of their souls, and finally the 'Soul of the Wind' to make their minds work, gain wisdom, and be able to move.
When the three souls become one, man turns from earth to life - and in the process, the gods did not use the 'water spirit', so it remained in place and finally became the current Nanami.
And because there is no power of the water soul in the body, everything in this world will feel thirsty and need water to continue to survive.
However, because the Lord did not give water to all things, life certainly needs water, but if you rush into the water, you will die—especially the water in the sea, not only can you not drink it directly, but you will become more and more thirsty the more you drink it, and even poison if you drink too much.
It is recorded in the Covenant that the God of Fire had a Word:
[Don't rush into the water, all rivers, lakes, seas, and wellheads are dangerous. A good person should not go near the water unless necessary, and a person can drown in a foot of water. 】
Therefore, most of the people of fire will never be too close to the water in their lives, except for fishermen and sailors carrying goods, only the heretics of pirates will take the initiative to go to the sea.
But this time, Ammon had to do the same thing as the pirates.
Because today, he will also take the initiative to go to the sea to find the traces of the Lord of Judgment.
By this time, the gray-haired priest had arrived at the corner of the harbor, at the pier dedicated to the Templar, beside a single dinghy.
This ship was ordered by the Central Sanctuary to allow Ammon to investigate the attack on the Temple of Sunset, and for the past few months, Ammon has been piloting it, analyzing from both sea and land from which angles the pirates attacked the temple in the first place, and what clues they left behind.
Because the investigation has been completed some time ago, this small boat is no longer needed, so this is a good time for public and private use.
"No, no......" Thinking of this, Ammon couldn't help but shake his head vigorously.
- If there is something about the Lord, can it be called public and private use?
For a priest, it's the big thing about God, any pirate attack, a possible traitor, get out of the way!
You know, not only Ammon, but the entire inhabitants of Sunset City have seen all kinds of traces of the divine descent from the Lord of Judgment—although they quickly disappear as a hallucination, but the huge dragon-shaped phantom and the light of thunder can prove it.
Unlike the Lord of Fire and the Lord of the Wind, who have performed several divine descents, the Lord of Judgment has never performed even one divine descent, even in the Covenant.
And yesterday's appearance was the first time since the new era!
Ammon was 100% sure that soon an order from the Central Sanctuary would come down asking him to investigate the Descent as quickly as possible, and he was just acting ahead of time.
In fact, there are many locals who are ready to do it.
It can be seen that for the sake of miracles, many fishing boats have given up their plans to go to sea to fish today, and the merchant ships have also unloaded their cargo, and they have postponed their work for a day, and they are determined to go to sea to investigate.
So, just as the gray-haired priest boarded his solo dinghy and prepared to set off.
In the dark early morning, at low tide in the sea, hundreds of fishing boats and small ships, large and small, set sail at the same time, pulling out churning white waves above the turquoise sea, heading into the distance.
And at this moment, at the port, the bell tower of the Temple of Sunset also rang the bell, echoing between heaven and earth.
In the center of Sunset City, the pure white flame burning in the Flame Tower suddenly shone brightly, and it cast a straight pillar of light, pointing to a certain sea in the distance.
It was the sea where the Lord of Judgment descended at high tide yesterday.
This is the light that guides everyone to the place of the miracle, and it also shows the attitude of the official Sunset City.
So, in this silent blessing, the people set out and sailed through the darkness in accordance with the instructions of the Holy Fire.
Ammon smiled and turned his head as he stepped into his solo dinghy, where he activated the dinghy's elemental engines and the rotating elemental power propelled the boat forward, following the receding waters toward the depths of the ocean.
All of a sudden, the wind and waves began to surge, and the white dinghy quickly overtook many of the ships that had departed earlier, leaving the coastal area behind, leaving the coast behind the horizon.
This is not surprising.
This seemingly ordinary dinghy actually contains the most advanced technology of the Central Sanctuary - the elemental furnace that seems to be the size of a human head can release tens of thousands of times the power in the elemental light furnace, making the dinghy cleave the waves and sail normally in the wind and waves.
It is said that the Templar is working on a larger Elemental Furnace to power a supership forged in iron...... With this kind of large warship that doesn't care about the direction of the wind or the currents, the end of the pirates is coming.
However, at the end of the day, this elemental dinghy is just a test subject, and it is nothing more than ordinary wind and waves, and it cannot withstand the most terrible storms in the summer oceans.
And this is what Amon fears - even before the sun rises, he can see that the sky is cloudy at this time, but there is no intention of rain and waves...... This proves that a real storm is about to come before long, when even the largest mast galleons are in danger.
"But if you wait until after the storm to look for it, you won't find any traces."
There are risks involved, and Ammon would rather take a risk than miss out.
But not everyone was as religious as he was, and after the initial passion, sensing that the weather was not right, some ships began to stop their movements one after another and began to return home.
Gradually, a strong wind arose on the sea, dark clouds surged in the sky, and thunder faintly roared.
In the third hour after sailing, something that worries Ammon finally happens—the storm has indeed arrived.
With a dull thunderclap like a drum, the wind began to rage, and the dark clouds fell as if they had collapsed, and at the same time as the torrential rain fell, the waves were raging.
Ammon stared at the waves on either side of the dinghy, and at the utter darkening of the sky, though it was not yet very strong, but he was almost certain that it was a rare storm, and that the waves were good at the moment, and that the waves would surely rise higher than the entire ship, like walls, sandwiching it in the turquoise waves.
Even if this dinghy had the strength to surpass that of an ordinary sail warship, it could not be superior to the might of nature.
In the face of the storm, more ships were ready to retreat - the sails were useless, and even the most devout of them could not overcome the fact that if they did not retreat, they would be swallowed up by the storm at any moment.
For a while, more ships decided to sail back, and Amon was worried.
"It's like the Lord won't let us come near......"
The dinghy in which the gray-haired priest rode was watertight and made of special materials, unlike ordinary wooden sailboats, which would be shattered by huge waves, nor like ordinary dinghys, which would be submerged in the sea and suffocated.
He could have moved on, anyway, as a priest with extraordinary power at the peak of the 'Enlightenment Order', he might drift to an unknown distance due to this storm, but it was unlikely that he would die because of it.
Revelation, Chosen One, Divine Blessing, this is the level of extraordinary power of the Land of Sacred Fire.
As the Lord's spokesman on earth, the Divine Ones possess a near-divine power, sufficient to suppress the power of the storm itself.
The Chosen One is unable to suppress the storm, but is able to manipulate the elements slightly, sheltering several ships in the storm.
The Revelator may be able to protect himself, but he will not have the energy to help others.
Naturally, Ammon is not a divine blessing, nor is he a Chosen One, although he believes in piety, his talent is not good, and after practicing for decades, he is only the peak of the Revelation Level, and it has always been difficult to advance to the Chosen Realm.
It's also a strange thing to say - in fact, all the Fire People with the bloodline of the Lord of Judgment are not very powerful.
It can even be said that the more devout the Lord of Judgment is, the lower his strength is, and in the temple of the Lord of Judgment, most of the Chosen and Blessed Ones with high strength are a little deviant and do not follow the scriptures, which is disliked by the majority of believers.
Ammon, who is extremely pious, is no exception, although he has reached the level of revelation decades ago, he has not been able to go any further, obtain the true revelation from the gods, and advance to the Chosen One.
"It must be because I am not religious enough to seal the word of the Lord."
That's what Ammon had been thinking all along.
But even such a pious Ammon couldn't help but retreat in the face of such a storm at this time.
- If you don't leave, you won't have time to retreat, you can only go with the flow.
In this sea area, there were originally hundreds of ships, only two or three big cats and kittens remained, except for the small boat that Ammon was riding, all of them were large merchant ships. Their ships were far less skilled than those of Ammon, but they were large enough and heavy enough to not be very storm-proof.
But even so, such a big ship was forced by the fierce wind, and could not sail normally to the place where the gods fell, and slowly shifted its direction.
At this moment, Ammon couldn't help but fall into the memory, and his mind began to think about why he had chosen to believe in the God of Judgment in the past.
Ammon's full name is Ammon Sterr, and his family, once a great merchant in the south of the Sacred Fire Country, lived a happy life, his home was full of gold, silver and jewelry, it can be said that he was extremely happy, and the young Ammon even married the daughter of a local Chosen One, destined to step into the real high society.
However, during a drought, the Ammon family was accused of maliciously hoarding food, and during the disaster, the people who came to search actually found several large warehouses full of grain, but the Ammon family was at a loss because those warehouses were not their property at all.
In just a few days, the entire family property was seized, and the young Ammondon fell from heaven to hell, not only to endure the white eyes of others in prison, forced to work as a servant to take care of horses, but also to be divorced by his childhood friend's betrothed and lose everything.
No one doubted whether the Ammon family was innocent or not—the extravagant life was too much to attract the hatred of others, and the Stehl family must have offended many people by becoming big businessmen.
Under the propaganda of public opinion, the Stehr family soon became a typical example of the local greedy businessman, a vicious merchant who ignored the disaster and gave out black money, and was destined to never turn over.
No one defended them, not even Ammon and his parents, for there was no one to argue, and when everyone thought they were evil, they were evil, if not evil.
But just then, a wandering inquisitor came to the place and asked questions.
"Have you investigated? Why was the Stehl family convicted just like that? They are obviously in the business of luxury goods such as stone and carving, why would they inexplicably engage in hoarding food? ”
"The Stehl family does live in luxury, and the big businessmen are not good, but one thing is one yard, can you be 100% this time they are indeed crazy and have to stock up on food? It doesn't make sense at all! ”
"You think it's reasonable? What do you think? Who are you? If you say yes, then where is the truth and justice?! ”
Even in the face of the coercion and temptation of the entire local forces, the wandering inquisitor did not have any willingness to compromise, and after realizing that it was indeed impossible for him to bypass these local forces to investigate, the believers of the Lord of Judgment directly called the headquarters of the Central Templar, calling hundreds of priests of the Enlightenment Order and twelve Chosen ones of the Lord of Judgment.
Even, alarmed by this news, one of the divine blessings who was the supreme priest of the Lord of Judgment at the time turned his attention to the south.
None of them meant to compromise, nor did they have any strong hospitals, and they had only one request, and that was to let them investigate the ins and outs of this matter normally, and determine whether the Ammon family was really guilty.
They only demand to know the truth of righteousness.
Soon, under the obstruction of the local forces who did not dare to move without being shocked, all the truth came out - the Ammon family did not maliciously hoard, but bought and sold, and it was another giant businessman in the south who bought off a large part of the official members in order to eliminate competitors and threats, and set up a trap for the Ammon family.
Naturally, the Steer family was restored to its original state, its reputation was restored, and the framed tycoon and all the officials who had been bribed were arrested and put on trial.
Saved from death and freed from despair, the Ammon family wanted to give most of their fortune to the Temple of the Lord of Judgment in return, but the wandering Inquisitor refused.
"Wealth is nothing but something outside the body for faith, and only truth and justice will last forever in this world, which can be called pursuit."
He said this in such a tone that the Ammon family was completely subsumed under the banner of the Lord of Judgment, and as the eldest son of the House of Stere, Ammon was sent to the temple of the Lord of Judgment and became a priest.
Decades later, Ammon was at the peak of his power in the Revelation, but his position in the Temple of the Lord of Judgment was not low, and if it weren't for that, the Central Templar would not have entrusted him with the task of 'finding traitors'.
Memories swept through his eyes like clouds of smoke, and in the midst of the raging storm, Ammon's eyes gradually cleared.
"It's a revelation."
He whispered to himself, "I have to go." ”
"Whether it is a test of the Lord or not, whether it is dangerous or not, I will see after all—if I don't even have the courage, then decades of perseverance would be too ridiculous."
It's not that you're not afraid of danger, it's that you know it, but you're ready to pay for your choices.
Is it a test, or is it a normal natural celestial phenomenon? Ammon didn't know, but he knew what it meant to be the Lord of Judgment, who had never been a half-godly descendant since the beginning of the New Era, appeared for the first time in hundreds of years.
He must not miss it.
In the darkness and storm, the gray-haired priest was determined, and he steered the elemental dinghy as far as he could, toward the other side of the wind and waves.
The big waves crashed against the walls of the ship, the waves churned endlessly, and the waves were even larger than the dinghy itself, and they staggered like two congenial cliffs, which were about to crush Ammon and the boat completely.
But even with all the dangers, the priest didn't give up, he gathered his strength to strengthen the already tough cabin, the elemental dinghy is a sealed structure, it is not afraid of water, this is its advantage over other ships.
But even so, under the louder thunder roar and the more violent wind and waves, Ammon still felt like a fallen leaf in the wind, constantly drifting in the sea, and even being thrown up by the huge waves from time to time, really floating in mid-air, and then falling into the sea again, lighting a little insignificant splash.
"Ah, sure enough, it still doesn't work."
However, just when Ammon felt that there was no hope of succeeding in approaching the Divine Descent Sea, this desperate struggle could only end in failure.
Suddenly, a bright light shone on a figure, who stepped out of the stormy waves and walked towards the fluttering dinghy.
For a moment, an indescribable fear and awe intimidated Ammon's heart, and the gray-haired priest had not let up even after fighting the storm for hours, but his eyes slowly widened when he saw the figure, forgetting the storm around him.
Ammon's cyan eyes gradually changed to dragon eyes, and he could see a figure walking slowly on the water, walking towards him.
And at this moment, the storm on the sea gradually subsided—it was still raging, and the wind and rain made a raging wave, but after a while, as the storm died down and the clouds dispersed, the rough sea became calm, and at most it screamed softly like a good cat being petted, and the wind calmed down.
The sky is clear and the clouds are quiet, the white waves are calm, and the turquoise blue caper sea has restored its original appearance, like a fine blue gem, stretching as far as the eye can see, extending to the end of the sea level, all the same color of the sea and sky.
The white elemental dinghy hovered quietly above the calm sea, and before it happened, the elemental furnace had stopped running, but Ammon didn't have the energy to pay attention to it.
For the gray-haired priest could see that after the clouds had cleared, the light of the rising sun from the east shone on the heavens and the earth, and the bright sunlight cast on the figure in front of Ammon's eyes, making his countenance clear.
It was a young man with long black hair, he had facial features that were not similar to those of the people of fire, but they were so unbelievable that he could not pick out even the slightest flaw, and revealed a majesty that came from the essence of the soul, and in the depths of those blue-purple dragon pupils, there was a brilliant spiritual light, and the whole body was filled with an indescribable solemnity and holiness.
At this moment, it was as if it was daylight.
"You, you are ......"
Opening the sealed door of the elemental dinghy, Aemon subconsciously stepped out of the dinghy, trying to get closer to the figure—and when he stepped out, the priest remembered that he was at sea.
He stepped on the surface of the sea, thinking that he would fall into the water, but in the opposite way, Ammon felt as if he was stepping on solid earth, and the water carried his weight like land, allowing him to walk normally.
There was no time to think too much, everything was a miracle, Amon folded his hands in front of his chest, and he walked forward step by step.
A strong intuition.
A closeness that comes from blood.
An instinct that comes from the supremacy of the spirit.
And, invisibly, the convergence of the power of the prayer and the prayer.
Ammon even vaguely saw that behind the figure, there was a large dragon, a huge immortal dragon soul with white wings and two horns, and thunder wrapped in thunder, roaring in the sky, and above the head of this ancient dragon soul, there was an incomparably bright 'Eye of Judgment' condensed by pure soul light, releasing a blue-purple light, like a crown, worn on the top of the dragon's head.
He just stood there, as if he could illuminate the heavens and the earth, and even the brilliance of the stars in the sky was dimmed by his presence, and the boundless sea, which was obviously endless, was completely occupied by his presence, so that it seemed narrow and solid, as if it were still.
- There is no doubt about it.
Step by step, the gray-haired priest soon came to the figure, and it was only then that Amon realized that he was the only ship in the sea, and everyone had returned in the storm, and only he had held out until now.
The black-haired youth smiled at Ammon.
"-My lord!"
Facing the figure, Ammon reverently folded his hands and tried to kneel down to worship, but a gentle force prevented him from kneeling, so he could only stand with his chest straight.
Then he heard a calm voice, spoken in the ancient Tartadisian language, resounding in his ears and in the depths of his soul.
[There is no need to bow down to any being.] 】
The voice said as if it contained the truth: "One has only to bow down to one's heart. 】
"Yes, yes—"
Suddenly, the gray-haired priest suddenly realized, and he muttered to himself: "The Lord of Judgment has a holy saying: There is no need to bow to people for a long time in life, only true righteousness is worth bowing to—I have forgotten your teachings, I am really foolish!" ”
Su Sun, who had already gone through the storm and thoughtlessness, had roughly figured out what the attitude of the beings in this world was towards the Lord of Judgment: "? ”
- Did I say that?
"You certainly didn't say it, but the 'Lord of Judgment' of this world is not necessarily."
