"Are all your people okay?" Chen Rui glanced at the church members below who were entering the boat in an orderly manner. The subtext was that a crown was exchanged for a cardinal. The lives of two saints and so many people in the church also count as two.
Don't owe me any more.
"Thanks to your Excellency," Gralin, who was also a sophisticated man, suddenly smiled, "Can you use the sacred power of the Crown of Thorns? This is my only request for the Crown of Thorns."
"The only one?" Chen Rui glanced at Gralin with some surprise. With a wave of his hand, the crown of thorns above his head released a soft white light and flew towards Gralin. Gralin did not avoid it, and suddenly felt a sacred power enveloped him.
The whole body, in response to its own light power, had all the remaining negative power from the previous battles wiped out, and I could only feel energetic.
"Sure enough, it is the power of 'divine favor'!" Gralin took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. Seeing Chen Rui's relaxed look, he was shocked again and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency...do you feel any discomfort?
feeling?"
"Discomfort? Of course not." Chen Rui shook his head and pointed at the crown of thorns, "This crown has recognized me as its master."
The meaning of this sentence is obvious, the crown is mine.
In fact, Chen Rui did the same thing. The Crown of Thorns flashed with light and disappeared, just like the other analyzed artifacts, it was included in the super system.
This scene shocked Gralin, and what Chen Rui didn't expect was that instead of pursuing the case, the cardinal showed excitement: "Okay, okay! Great! It's really the blessing of the God of Light!"
Chen Rui: "..."
Is that right? If your equipment is hacked, you still need to write a thank you letter?
Gralin bowed deeply to Chen Rui: "Your Excellency, can you come to my ship for a while? I will tell you more secrets related to this Crown of Thorns."
More secrets? Chen Rui saw that Gralin was not lying. Looking at the broken ship. The main body had begun to sink, he frowned: "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Gralin followed his gaze and immediately showed an embarrassed look.
Chen Rui thought for a while and finally gave the answer: "Go to my boat."
Soon after, Gralin and the church members appeared on the Mandala.
Looking at this huge sailing ship that was both exquisite and magnificent, and looking at the skilled Sandman sailors, even though the people in the church had extraordinary experience, they couldn't help but look surprised, but they didn't ask any more questions.
Under the influence of the divine healing technique performed by Chen Rui, even the seriously injured wounded were well controlled, and the eyes looking at Chen Rui were more respectful.
Gralin left Clark and April on the deck to look after and restrain the believers. He followed Chen Rui into the cabin room, where Pagliu and Diudiu were drinking at the bow.
Laura and others had been informed by Chen Rui in advance and stayed in their rooms without showing up.
"Sir Gralin, please sit down." Chen Rui said calmly: "First of all, I saved you, but it was actually just an accident."
With his strength, there was no need to tangle with Gralin. At worst, he would throw all the church members back into the boat or even directly into the sea. But he was still somewhat interested in the secret of the crown.
Gralin nodded: "The matter of the Crown of Thorns... is also an accident, but you don't have to worry, you are already the owner of the Crown of Thorns. There is no doubt about it."
"Have I become the master of the Crown of Thorns, and fulfilled some prophecy of the church? What kind of savior have I become? Please forgive me... I have read some interesting novels recently," Chen Rui shrugged. "But I don't like it.
Go round and round, just tell me what you have to say."
"It is indeed an interesting novel." Gralin showed a knowing smile: "Actually, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'd better fulfill my promise first. Let me tell you the secret of the Crown of Thorns first. The Crown of Thorns is the three great saints of light.
One of the objects. These three sacred objects are collectively called 'creation'."
"'Creation'?" Chen Rui's heart moved as he remembered the feeling of creation that the Crown of Thorns had previously triggered in his body.
Chen Rui's understanding of the super system is now different from what it used to be. Since the "galaxy" of the super system is a real country with faith and life rather than an illusory imagination, if you want to go further, you must understand more complete laws of the universe.
Not only must there be destruction, there must also be creation.
As for Ben Ji's shortcut of merging creation and destruction to become a god, Chen Rui is not interested in it. Everyone has his or her own way forward, especially myself, who has a super system, and is originally taking a different path.
However, no matter what, the origin of creation is indispensable to him, especially now that the opportunity is still in front of him, he must not miss it.
Glalin saw Chen Rui's interested look and explained: "It is said that these three sacred objects are said to be transformed by the gods according to the containers of the power to create the world. They have incredible power, so they are so named."
The container of the power to create the world! Chen Rui suddenly wondered, could it be the source of creation...
"If you gather three holy objects and gain recognition, you will gain incredible insights and possess powerful power far beyond the holy level." Gralin smiled slightly, "I don't know if you have exerted any special power. My perception
My ability is limited, so I can only notice that your strength seems to have not reached the Saint level. Of course, the strength of your two friends is already a super-level powerhouse that has surpassed the Saint level."
"Your perception is correct. My strength is only at the sergeant level, but for some special reasons, I have two super-level partners." Chen Rui showed a "calm" look, but he was thinking about these three things.
The creator of the sacred objects is definitely not a god, but gathering three sacred objects and "gaining incredible insights" is a shortcut to understanding the origin of creation.
Crown of Thorns has provided the best proof that this is definitely a feasible path.
"By the way, the whereabouts of the other two holy objects... Can Mr. Gralin tell me?"
When Gralin heard the words "super-level partner", his eyes flashed and he said: "You should know that about 200,000 years ago, the human world had three major sacred empires coexisting. They were the Longhuang Empire,
The Lan Yao Empire and the Yunteng Empire, the three supreme angels, upheld the will of the gods and donated the three sacred objects to the three empires as national treasures. However, 20,000 years ago, the Yunteng Empire was destroyed by the Longhuang Empire and the Lan Yao Empire.
The allied forces led by the empire joined forces to crusade, and the country was eventually destroyed. The homeland was divided into dozens of kingdoms, and the now-famous Starlight Kingdom is one of them. The truth of this war was a crusade against heretics, because Yunteng at that time
The empire was completely controlled by the terrifying pagan Black Death. The people of thirty towns were actually sacrificed with blood, which shocked the entire human world. Not only that, the Black Death also reached out to the elves in the Emerald Forest.
, attempted to use the Tree of Life to summon the evil god. It almost caused the elves to suffer annihilation. Under the call of the church, most countries headed by the two empires united, and finally eliminated the Yunteng Empire and resolved this terrible situation.
disaster."
So that's it! Chen Rui nodded slowly. The crisis in the emerald forest was resolved by the elf king and his father-in-law. For this, Spann paid a huge price. If it weren't for the fairy dragon mother-in-law who risked her life to save her, my father-in-law would have gone to see the elf.
Goddess, so far, the Tree of Life has not been completely restored, and the seal is still showing signs of loosening.
"What do you mean, Lord Gralin...the remaining two sacred objects are now in the Long Huang Empire and the Lan Yao Empire?"
"That's right, one is the Holy Grail and the other is the Holy Light Robe." Gralin nodded: "As national treasures, they should be hidden in the most secret treasure houses of the two empires. Only the emperor knows the true identity.
's whereabouts."
"I feel like Lord Gralin is reminding me of something? Is it a condition, or... a threat?"
"Haha. Don't get me wrong," Gralin shook his head: "It's just a well-intentioned explanation of the facts. Don't you like to beat around the bush? With all due respect, the background of the two holy empires is not trivial, and it is far stronger than what is seen on the surface.
Although the strength you have is extraordinary, no matter what method you use, it is extremely difficult to obtain the Holy Grail and the Holy Light Robe. Unless you use the power of the Church of Light."
"Really?" Chen Rui smiled noncommittally, and quickly made calculations in his mind.
"Let me tell you clearly, Your Excellency, I am the Cardinal of the Church of Light. The enemies who attacked me previously were the Black Deaths, the heretics who advocate darkness and destruction. At the moment of crisis, I used a secret method to open the seal of the Crown of Thorns, but
Since my physique cannot carry the holy power of the Crown of Thorns, I almost collapsed, so the Crown of Thorns automatically chose you. Your physique...should be the purest body of brilliance. Just for this reason, you are qualified to become
The Holy Son of the Church, the heir to the Pope’s crown!”
"Holy Son?" Chen Rui was really stunned now. The successor of the Pope? Is there something wrong?
Seeing that Chen Rui had been stunned for a long time without speaking, Gralin couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency..."
Chen Rui finally came to his senses and rubbed his nose: "Actually, the two words I want to say the most right now are 'haha'."
Gralin showed excitement: "Your Excellency, you have agreed to become the Holy Son?"
Did your eyes see that I agreed? Chen Rui spread his hands speechlessly: "I forgot, this kind of vocabulary is too advanced for you, so you might as well change it to a common one. I'm not interested."
"Your Excellency, it seems that you have some misunderstandings about the church?" Gralin is not discouraged. He will definitely not give up so easily. The theft of the Snowdale tree is still a secret of the church, but as one of the three cardinals, he was also the leader of Xuefeng in those days.
As a personal experiencer of the Taiwan incident, Gralin and the church giants are all very aware of the consequences of the disappearance of the Snowdale tree. That is, before the Snowdale tree recovers, the Church of Light will not be able to transform the most important body of light, nor will it be able to
Selecting warriors, including saints, will cause immeasurable damage to the prestige and faith of the entire church in the long run.
The whereabouts of the Crown of Thorns this time is simply an unexpected surprise, because the Crown of Thorns has a very important function, which is "divine favor", which can transform the light system step by step, although it cannot be compared with the effect of the Snowdale Flower.
ratio, but it can effectively play a substitution role during the vacuum period when the snowdale tree grows.
The only drawback is that the Crown of Thorns can only fully exert its power if it is a body of glory, and it will also cause a certain amount of rebound damage to the user. Currently, Pope Vandis is the only candidate who can do the job. If things go on like this, the original
The remaining lifespan will be burned out early.
However, now another young man with the most glorious body has appeared, and he is extremely talented. He can completely control the crown of thorns and display "divine favor" without being harmed. This is simply a gift from the gods!
Therefore, Gralin would not miss this "Holy Son" no matter what, so he patiently explained it at the moment.
"The authority of the Holy Son is equivalent to that of the Patriarch? He can freely enter and leave any place on the Holy Mountain, including the forbidden areas of the temple?" Chen Rui raised his chin, and his attitude finally "relaxed" under Gralin's words, "I
It takes time to think about it.”
"I can wait!" Gralin was overjoyed, "By the way, you still don't know your name?"
"Okay, I'm rude, Mr. Gralin," Chen Rui showed a meaningful smile: "My name is... Arthur." (To be continued...)
