67. Relationship with God
Before telling the story, the high priest lit an elaborate candle on the altar.
The fragrance of the candle flame spread, and the candlelight, which should have been bright, was obviously dimmed by the already bright lights between the prophecies, but it also illuminated the high priest's side face like a god.
Then he began to tell, to be precise, by chanting, composing the story of the prophetic child and God into beautiful psalms and singing them in a beautiful voice—a ritual that seemed to be a convention in Fergar, and everything that had to do with God had to be communicated to the world by the priesthood in the form of guò.
Golando had studied Fergar's poetic format at the Royal Academy of Magic, so it was not difficult to understand the meaning of the psalms, and he easily got what he wanted by translating the high priest's chanting into the vernacular in his head, and of course, the story rendered by Golando inevitably had his personal touch:
A long time ago, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, all spirits were mixed, and the human race on the land had not yet been divided into so many countries, all people lived on the same continent, and there was no difference between people and people, such as nobles and commoners, and the same was true of other races, regardless of strength and weakness, no matter who was in front of God.
At that time, the human mind was not yet fully opened, and it was foolish to judge by the eyes of the present, and they lived their lives stupidly every day, doing what was assigned by the gods according to the rules, and gathering together wisely to study various arts and sciences, but there was no dispute with each other. It was an era of peace.
However, just as villains appear in fairy tales, the age of peace did not last long, and God was very satisfied with what he had created, including the beauty of the world and the wisdom of his race...... If there had not been the first "wicked man".
The first person with evil thoughts killed innocent passers-by in order to rob them of treasures that did not belong to them, and hid the matter so that no one would find out, but this qiē high god saw it.
God was very disappointed in human beings, and among the races he created, only the human image was closest to him, and the other devils, angels, krakens, and elves could only be called subhumans, but the first "wicked man" was born in the race closest to himself, and God felt that this was a blasphemy against himself.
The angry god separated the "wicked man" from the ranks of humans, and from then on those who had evil thoughts would become demons, but for some reason the demons that humans turned into demons had more terrible magic than the natural devils, and with the appearance of the first "wicked man", more and more people imitated his actions.
Greed distorts human nature, and those who seek to rob other people's property can be obtained for nothing, in order to live a better life, but also to obtain more power than the devil, those people do not hesitate to give up their lives to become aliens.
One of the demons stood up and said that as long as they disguised themselves as before, those stupid and kind humans would accept them without thinking and put them into their own territory, and the construction of this demon was recognized by most of the demons, and they responded to the call of the devil, and later the demons violated the territory of the human race through this method.
Like wolves in a flock, they scavenged the human kingdom that was a treasure trove for them, and the first real war between humans and demons began.
The war was devastating, and this tragic war between man and demon lasted for more than ten years, and God was naturally furious when he saw that the world he had created was destroyed by the war and was full of casualties.
So God stopped the war, divided the world into three parts: the human world, the demon world and the heavenly world, and brought the angels and goblins who he thought were innocent to the heavenly world, and the demons and demons who did evil were banished by him to the demon world deep underground, and the number of remaining human beings in the end was only one-third of what was before the war, but God did not forgive human beings for this part.
His punishment for humanity is the heaviest.
Instead of repairing the damage done to the human world in the war, God intensified the efforts to take away the civilization that mankind had accumulated over the generations, and let the human world return to a period of recklessness with nothing.
However, there are often all kinds of twists and turns, even God is not completely happy, and the human world starts a civil war again and again after being punished, and the cause is still selfishness and greed.
This time, God no longer intervened to stop the spread of war, he wanted to see if human beings would play themselves to death, if human civilization fell because of this, he could just overthrow it and start over, and the next race in the new world would be modeled after those desireless angels in the heavenly realm.
But God still left the last trace of mercy in the human world, and this last trace of mercy is the first generation of prophetic children.
It has been said before that only the absolutely pure and righteous can inherit the knowledge and wisdom of the ancestors from God, and the Son of Prophecy is the purest and righteous of these people, God chose that person and personally communicated the future of the human world to him, whether to save this war-torn world depends on the personal will of the Prophetic Child.
With the prophecy relayed by God, the children of the first generation of prophecy completed the mission of saving the world, the human race was continued, and the human world was able to survive from the Three Realms.
Without the Children of Prophecy, there would be no human world today, and there would be no Fergar where Golando and Ronoye and others lived, but it is a pity that the story of the Children of Prophecy was not written in the canons of the Holy See.
For this reason, it is easy to think that in order to make more people die to believe in God, the statement that "God has wanted to abandon people" certainly cannot appear in any book.
However, even if not many people know, the Son of Prophecy really controls the fate of a country or even the entire world, and the Son of Prophecy, who is particularly loved by God, has the ability to change the direction of the world.
The so-called book of creation is a wordless book of heaven obtained by God after creating the world of zào, only the son of prophecy can see the content recorded in the book, this book is one of the treasures of God, the legend is in the hands of the archangel of the heavenly realm, and now it has long disappeared with the disappeared archangel, and the high priest suspects that the book is still kept by the archangel.
After telling the long story, the high priest blew out the candles, and the smoke rose into the air, draining through the gaps in the skylights between the prophecies.
"And now we know that the sons of prophecy are the only ones of our priests, besides the highest authorities in the country." The high priest said.
Without waiting for the two to ask the meaning of the priests, the high priest explained reasonably: "The first son of prophecy alone is not enough to save the world, and many people follow him in that process, and the one who contributes the most is the ancestor of the priest family, Gna, who only has a name but no surname, and with the blessing of God, Gna's soul is immortal. ”
Speaking of this, the high priest bowed slightly in the direction of Ronoye: "My soul has been in this world for a long time, just to find generations of Prophecy Sons, guide and assist him in his mission to save the world, and then eliminate the backlash suffered by the Prophecy Sons. ”
Ronoye exclaimed, "So you're ......"
"Yes, I am Gna, and all the High Priests are Gna." The High Priest said.
Ronoye's surprised tone did not disappear: "But the human body is not eternal, how can you ......" how can you survive for so long and still be young forever?
The High Priest quickly answered Ronoye's questions: "Humans cannot live forever, and I have changed countless bodies as a result. ”
Golando guessed, "So those bodies are from the priests?" ”
"That's right." The high priest looked at Golando and said, "Just as the holy body is the most suitable to carry the power of prophecy, every few decades, there will always be a body that is most suitable for my soul among the priests, and for some reason, that body always looks exactly like my original appearance, this may also be God's arrangement." ”
"And what about the original soul of this body?" Ronoye asked with concern.
The high priest turned to Ronoye and said, "I and my original soul alternate in this body, and when I have consciousness, the other soul will fall into a deep sleep, and when I go to rest, it will be his turn to come out." I was too busy with the ritual of finding the gods to catch my breath, but now that I have found you, I can really take a good rest. ”
The High Priest did not want to linger too long on the topic of the priests, and then went on to talk about the children of prophecy: "The soul of the children of prophecy is different from ordinary people, and you also know that you have a magical magic circle sealed in your body, which is the imprint stored on your soul, which is equivalent to a mark made by God, and this mark makes it very few creatures in the world with a similar wavelength to your soul, and we priests call it the proof of the blood of God." The sons of prophecy throughout the ages have different appearances and souls, and the only thing they have in common is that they have the blood of God. ”
Golando chewed on the words of the high priest and couldn't help but question: "Can this mark be transmitted through guò blood?" If you can, wouldn't it be faster to target the family that produced the Prophecy Child to find the next generation? ”
The High Priest immediately rejected Golando's idea: "Unfortunately, the blood of the gods is not passed down through the guò world. When a prophetic son dies, the next person to inherit the blood of God will never be in the same surname. ”
After saying this, the high priest told Ronoye that their conversation was over, and he summoned his maid Nina in and asked her to take him to the room he had prepared beforehand.
Before leaving, Ronoye glanced at Golando worriedly, the high priest only asked Nina to take him without mentioning Gorando, there must be something else to say to Gorando.
The words of the high priest just now have unlocked the secret of his immortality, but in Ronoye's heart, the high priest has become more mysterious than before, and at the same time, the pressure of Ronoye as the child of prophecy has also increased a lot.
On the one hand, the young master wanted to stay and listen to what the high priest wanted to say to Gorando, but on the other hand, he was inexplicably afraid of the high priest and did not dare to disobey his words, so in the end he could only obediently follow Nina out. Helplessly, Golando didn't notice Ronoye's eyes before leaving, because he was looking at the high priest.
- Calling for someone to send Ronoye away but leaving him alone, he was curious to know the reason.
When the door of the prophecy was closed by Nina, Gorando asked, "Priest, don't you want to rest?" ”
After listening to Gorando's questioning, the high priest's ethereal eyes locked on the object of the voice, and only after a while did he move his lips and say, "You...... It's not originally from this world, is it? ”
Golando was stunned, then showed a serious look.
