Chapter 1175: A Different Jessica
At the end of the "Channeling Ritual", Roland telepathically informed Eltaran to bring the children in and wait for the messenger of the goddess of fate to descend on the astral plane, erase the curse from the blood of the evil gods for them, and guide them out of the pursuit of doom.
Eltaran was very careful, and had already cast a spell in advance to cleanse the bodies of the 183 evil gods, and had the children change into matching robes, each with a silver Sindra emblem around their necks.
The children felt the solemn atmosphere in the church of Sindra, and they all quietly obeyed the arrangements of the adults, and they seemed to tremble.
When Roland asked them to bow down to the statue of fate on the altar and swear eternal allegiance to the Church of Sindra, the children did so one by one, only when it was Jessica's turn, the little girl looked at Roland hesitantly and asked softly, "Brother Roland, is Lady Sindra a good god, right?" ”
This question is difficult to answer.
Roland was silent for a few seconds, and then told her frankly: "The goddess of fate is not a good god in the philosophical or moral sense, she is above the vulgar division between good and evil, you may not understand it now, but you must remember that my lord would prefer to see her followers act out of compassion and a sense of justice rather than being ruthless and selfish or even just for fun." ”
The little girl nodded thoughtfully, "It's like when Brother Roland passed by the window of my house, he could have ignored my begging and walked away, but he chose to stay and take care of me, and he didn't hesitate to be the enemy of the evil god to help us escape from the nightmare city?" ”
Roland sighed and nodded in a complicated mood.
Jessica, who seemed to be encouraged by his affirmation, turned around and walked to the altar, knelt down with her hands folded and prayed: "Great goddess of fate, you are the idol of Brother Roland, and Brother Roland is both my benefactor and the person I admire the most, so I also worship you, please accept this insignificant faith of mine." ”
Eltaran walked up to Roland, took his hand and whispered, "This child is too smart and rational compared to her peers, and because she is too smart and sensible, she is not suitable to become a priest, and I have other plans for her future." ”
Roland squeezed her hand slightly, expressing her full support for raising Jessica in a different way than other children.
When one hundred and eighty-three children had visited the statue of Syndra, the altar rose with a silver glow, and the statue slowly rose to its feet.
"The idol is alive! The idol is alive! ”
"Hahaha!!"
……
The children were shocked by this bizarre scene in front of them and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shhhhh The children were intimidated by the momentum of the "teacher", and they all quieted down, and they did not dare to come out.
By this time, the idol on the altar had completed its transformation, becoming a beautiful and dignified goddess in costume, and the long metal dress shook gently as she got up, as if it had melted white gold.
Luo Lan stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said gratefully: "Sister Shenwei, this time I have worked hard for you again, and I have to go all the way." ”
Sindra's seventh sage, the Iron Princess, shook her head and smiled, took Roland's hand and walked down the altar, came to the group of prostrate, trembling children, walked past them one by one, stretched out her slender jade fingers with a metallic sheen, touched each child's forehead, and injected a divine power into them, suppressing the power of the evil gods and protecting them from the curse that originated from the bloodline.
After blessing the 183 children, Shenwei told Roland and Eltaran to take good care of the psionic devotees of the goddess of fate.
"I left a trace of divine power in the children's bodies, with their current age, they are not able to fully integrate the divine power, as they grow older, their cultivation is refined, and they can absorb the blessings contained in the divine power after obtaining the extraordinary profession of spiritual energy, and they will no longer be troubled by the bloodline of the evil god, after that, even if they leave the astral boundary and fall asleep, they will not be dragged into a nightmare city like Akron by the evil god, and their descendants will no longer become the dependents of the evil god."
After a brief explanation, Shenwei's gaze turned to Eltaran: "Roland said that you will shoulder the responsibility of teaching these children?" ”
Eltaran used to be an ancient god, but now he has fallen into a mortal thing, and he is counting on finding a foothold in the fate god system in the future, how dare he have the slightest disrespect for the saint of the goddess, and quickly nodded and replied: "That's true, I will do my best to teach them to grow into true psionics." ”
"When I was injecting divine power into the children, I instilled the spiritual energy inheritance of the 'Sindra Blazing Messenger' by the way, which was used to replace the 'Evil Divine Messenger' inheritance lurking in their bloodline, as long as you give a little guidance, these children will have a chance to grow into the Burning Mind Envoy in the future," Shen Wei paused slightly, looked back deeply at Jessica, who was looking curiously in this direction, and continued to say to Roland and Eltaran: "The inheritance of the Blazing Mind Envoy is just an insurance, not all children may have to be cultivated in this direction, At the end of the day, it all comes down to each person's talent and interests. ”
"Thank you, Ms. Shenwei, for your advice, I will keep this principle in mind." Eltaran said respectfully.
Shenwei nodded with a smile: "You are a master in the psionic realm, so I won't talk much, and I will have the opportunity to visit these lovely children again in the future." Turning to Roland, he said, "You've done a great job in Vares, and I'm so proud of you." ”
Roland is nominally the chosen person of Sindra, but he has never seen the true face of the goddess of fate, perhaps according to the laws of this world, mortals can not look at the face of the true god, but he has a lot of contact with Shenwei, and his feelings are like that of a brother and sister, and he took her hand and said: "Sister Shenwei, I am relieved to hear your words, which proves that the policy I pursued in the Far East has not gone astray." ”
"Believe in yourself and don't forget your original intention." Shenwei left two meaningful words of advice and stepped forward to hug him.
Roland reached out to wrap his arms around the slender and smooth waist of the "Iron Princess", and was about to say something, when the goddess in his arms had become stiff and cold, and turned into a metal statue again.
Roland picked up the statue with both hands and sent it back to the altar to be straightened.
Confirming that Shenwei had left the astral boundary, Eltaran let out a sigh of relief, walked quickly to Roland, and sighed with mixed feelings: "As soon as you make a move, it is the inheritance of the 'Blazing Mind Messenger', Lady Shenwei is really generous, lucky to these little ghosts!" ”
"Think of it as compensation for the misfortunes of the children in the first half of their lives." Roland replied with a smile.
The psionic profession of "Blazing Mind" has similarities with "Holy Mind", but there are also big differences.
The similarity lies in the fact that both classes have a narrow list of psychic abilities, and they can only choose from a limited number of spiritual domains, depending on what kind of god they worship and what kind of philosophy they advocate.
