Kiel put on the armor neatly first, and then equipped the body with weapons one by one.

The priests not far away have not yet dispersed, because Saturn left, they finally dared to whisper and discuss what happened just now.

The vice-principal's old partners didn't keep it secret either, and told the cause and effect of the incident. Because it is not something that needs to be kept secret, many things seem to be transmitted very slowly. It is simply that the news is only spread within one circle, and people outside the circle will not get any news at all.

No one is going to pass on a message like that.

Not to mention that the social structure of the different world is clearly stratified, which is even more exaggerated. The price tag of information and knowledge has been so expensive since ancient times.

Knowing the reason for the continuous ceremony that disturbed even the **** of Saturn, many people showed pitiful expressions towards Priest Batar. But it was this kind of expression that made Priest Batar's originally excited expression cool down, and his face became stinky.

"Keir, I have already thanked the priests for their assistance, let's go after receiving the things!"

Seeing the fully armed Kiel walking slowly, Priest Batar stepped forward and pulled Kiel's armored shell to go out.

The vice-principal smiled and waved to one of his old buddies, so the old priest who didn't know his name took Keir and the two of them through the priests who watched the excitement, to a certain place in the church. direction to go.

The young priest named Qingtian looked curiously at Kiel who was completely different from yesterday, and frowned, thinking about whether Kiel was a good person or a bad person.

The vice-principal beckoned and let all the priests outside the gate of the central ceremony hall come in. First, he could experience the residual divine power left behind by the blessing of the advanced ceremony at close range. How can the young priests who care about it talk about how powerful these rituals and blessings they are unwilling to listen to are.

In fact, he also understands in his heart why the young priests prefer to spend more time on praying for divine spells instead of ritual blessings. The reason is that they can get in touch with praying divine spells every day, but ritual blessings affect the qualifications and strength of priests. There are no small minimum requirements.

Moreover, when he was giving lectures, he could only narrate dryly according to the books summarized by the predecessors, and it was impossible to release a powerful ritual during the lectures.

Ritual blessing consumes far more divine power than prayer magic, and it is comparable to the consumption of battlefield magic. They are all high-level techniques for young priests to weigh whether they can release the divine power accumulated in their bodies.

Fortunately, today is a good opportunity. Although he and his old buddies have consumed a lot of divine power accumulated over a long period of time, if they do the right thing and do what the gods arrange, the **** of agriculture will give various compensations.

The gods are all great and generous, they won't let you do things, and don't give you benefits.

Many young priests can't see this clearly, but an old guy like him has already understood this truth, otherwise he would not have reached his current strength and status.

"What should the old priest be called?"

Walking in the corridor of stone pillars entwined with vines, Kiel asked Priest Batar in a low voice to take them to receive the blessing items agreed before.

"What old priest! He is a trainee priest in Minggu. Don't look at it as a trainee priest. In fact, the vast majority of priests have spent their entire lives in the position of priests, and they have no chance to become a trainee priest."

Having said this, Priest Batar became depressed, and seemed to realize that he had a great chance of never being promoted to the position of trainee priest in his life.

Although he became a shepherd at a young age, most of the others also hold this position, and everyone is just with each other.

Regardless of Priest Batar's complaints, Kiel walked faster and came to the side of the old priest Ming who led the way silently.

"Minggu priest, where shall we go to get the props that have been blessed later? By the way, is the blessing that was blessed in the ceremony just now the same thing as this blessing?"

Facing Kiel's question, the old priest remained expressionless. Although he looks a little tired, but the pace of walking is a distance every time. Nodding slightly, then shaking his head again, the old priest answered Kiel despite his puzzled expression.

"Keele Warriors, they're similar, but very different."

"How to say?"

At this time, they happened to come to a relatively open garden. There were many pine trees growing in the garden, but on the ground of the garden covered with pine needles, there were many flowers of plants in cold regions that depended on the lack of sunlight and rotten pine needles to survive.

There was a small stone fountain in the center, and the old priest happened to take a shortcut through the garden, so he took Kiel and the two of them to sit beside the fountain, on the stone fence of the stone fountain.

Kiel sat on the stone fence with a bang, watching the old priest's eyes twitch, for fear that Kiel would sit down so recklessly that the fountain would collapse.

Fortunately, it was built upright with a whole rock, which is very strong.

Priest Batar sat on the other side of the old priest.

The two of them saw that the old priest was a little tired, so they obeyed each other's wishes and sat down to rest.

Coincidentally, although the surrounding pine tree garden does not occupy a large area, the layers of pine trees block the surrounding church scene, but it gives people a feeling of coming to the severe cold area of ​​the Northland.

The surroundings are quite quiet, except for the sound of water falling in the fountain, the surroundings are extremely quiet. The Saturnalia Church was originally a very quiet place. It is estimated that it is the sound-absorbing effect of the pine trees, which makes it very quiet.

"how to say."

After sitting down, the old priest took a breath and explained his doubts to Kiel.

It seems that although this Minggu priest doesn't have much expression on his face, he is actually a warm-hearted and kind-hearted old man, and he will still answer the questions of young people.

"To put it simply, they are all manifestations of the orderly aggregation of the divine power of the **** of agriculture. It is not something you and I can think about about the origin of the divine power. It is only about the orderly aggregation of the divine power. The difference between the two Here it is."

The old man paused, bent down and reached out to scoop up a small handful of water from the fountain, and drank it slowly and gently.

"The object receiving divine power; the degree of internal weaving rules of divine power; the tightness of aggregation; the amount of divine power; the external effect."

When Keir heard what the old priest said, he felt a little dizzy, as if he had gone back to his previous life and listened to the lecturer in the university, and then transformed those esoteric contents.

Priest Batar could probably understand, counting what the old priest said with his fingers. After listening, he seemed to find that he had forgotten most of the knowledge he had learned many years ago during his stay in the village.

Then he showed a embarrassed smile.

"Ritual blessings, blessings and blessings. Although the names seem to be similar, it is easy to confuse outsiders like Kiel warriors. But in fact, the difference is really big. Simply put, the ceremony is difficult to complete by one person. If many people cooperate, there is another problem of cooperation. The ceremony you just saw went well, it is because we who participated in the ceremony are old friends who have been familiar with it for many years. We give many people different similar ceremonies every year It’s been held many times, so it’s easy to watch.”

The old priest shook his head: "But haven't you noticed? The divine power that each of the six people have to release is consistent, at least not too different, which is difficult to do in itself. Not to mention who goes first and who goes behind, the movements must not conflict at all. The ritual itself is actually a measure woven by the gods for us to overcome the inadequacy of human beings."

The old man raised his hands and fiddled with the sun: "We humans, in fact, among all intelligent races, are on the same level. Although we have no shortcomings, we don't have many advantages. There are only a few advantages. In human society Adult humans have at least some thinking ability and intelligence. And there are enough of us."

"As for blessing and blessing, it's just a name. It's actually a kind of divine power gathering, weaving and transfer that can be completed by a single priest. Gather the divine power that is usually accumulated on some objects, and continue to perform divine spell release or pray , the divine power controlled by the priest will be simply affected and concentrated on the object, and under certain conditions, there will be a small internal cycle."

Keir carefully scratched his cheek with his fingers. He thought he probably understood, but he didn't understand much. In short, it seems to understand.

"I see! I see!"

A smile appeared on the old priest's expressionless face: "Do you really understand?"

"Yeah, I got it!"

The old priest nodded, and after resting for a while, everyone walked towards the place where the valuables were stored.

-

It was a hut behind a tall church.

They walked around the church with music playing inside, and walked from the stone path outside the church to the back of the church.

In a small open space here, there is a hut made of stone.

Around the house are stone pillars topped with Saturn and the four goddesses of the seasons.

And the hut itself looks like it was carved out of a whole boulder, except for a metal gate on the front, there are no seams or entrances and exits.

Priest Minggu walked in front, and he didn't see any movement, just a slap of the palm, and the metal gate at the door of the hut obediently fell down.

Behind the door is a downward spiral stone staircase.

As expected, the important places are hidden underground.

Keir smiled and walked at the end, and the third entered the stone ladder and walked down.

The revolving stone staircase is not steep, probably because some priests with high strength and status are old people, so it is very difficult not to build this place leading to the storage of supplies.

The height of each section of the two-meter-wide downward stone ladder is very limited, and the stairs are very wide. It is convenient, but for young people like Keel, it is very uncomfortable to walk on.

They walked down to a depth of more than ten meters, and the surrounding lighting was all due to the blue light of the **** of Saturn emitted by the two priests in front. It was only then that Kiel understood why there were no lighting facilities in the staircase. It turned out that for the priests, if they needed lighting for a short period of time, they could completely reflect the divine power of Saturn in their bodies.

Although Yingying's blue light is not very bright, it is more than enough to illuminate the road.

Kiel fiddled with the scabbard of his hunting sword, and the two-handed ax with Yueshui head on his back, so that they all shimmered. Others can shine, so he can't lag behind, can he?

What if you are underestimated.

After reaching the bottom of the stairs, there is another metal gate in front of you.

The Minggu priest did not open the door so easily this time. He put his palm on a certain part of the metal gate, released and retracted the light of divine power on his body, and the metal gate fell again, showing the situation behind the gate.

-

Behind the door is a relatively open and square underground hall. The hall is relatively empty, only some stone bookshelves are attached to the wall.

Facing the metal gate, that is, at the end of the underground hall, there is also a statue of Saturn carved in white stone. In the four corners of the hall, there are four other statues of goddesses with different shapes and movements.

Kiel knew without thinking that it must be the statue of the goddess of the seasons.

Sure enough, as he walked into the hall, he easily identified who the four statues were.

The goddess on the left rear raised her hands as soon as she entered the door, making a gift. There are piles of harvested crops at the feet of her statue. Haha, this must be the goddess of autumn—loneliness.

And behind the right hand after entering the door is a strong goddess carrying a logging axe. She has a hearty smile on her face. She is carrying a logging ax in one hand and holding a dwarf-style wine glass in the other hand. It looks like logging. There is no mistake in drinking. This one must be Lady of Winter—Tweety Naith.

The statue on the front left at the end of the underground hall is dressed coolly and beautifully, wearing sandals, holding the hem of a long skirt with one hand, and holding the lady's aristocratic sun hat on the top of the head with the other. Obviously, this is the goddess of summer who can represent summer—luxury.

Finally on the front right is Joy, the Goddess of Spring. The goddess was wearing a long robe with a dignified posture, and stood quietly in place, but the goddess was holding a leather umbrella made of thin sheepskin to keep out the rain. There is a slight smile on his face.

The illumination in the underground hall depends entirely on the bright white light emitted by the five statues.

Only then did Kiel understand why the locals would say that the Whitestone City Wall checkpoint on the east side of Montoka City is bright no matter day or night.

It would be a marvel if the dwarven walls shone as brightly as these gods.

There are people in the hall.

It's just that when they came down, the few priests here were praying sitting or standing in front of the Saturn statue.

But when they officially entered the hall, these people quickly finished their prayers and turned to look at the three of them.

"It's a trainee pastor in Minggu. What's the important thing for you to bring these two here? Is it the vice-principal's intention?"

The one who spoke to the ancient Ming priest was an equally old priest, but unlike the general Saturn priests who usually wear light-colored robes, the priest who asked the question was wearing a dark robe. No one could recognize this man as a Saturnian priest.

The other four priests standing on the left and right are all middle-aged people. Looking at their robes, they seem to be priests just like the old man.

"Yes, these two are brave men who have received the mission of the great Saturn to carry out a dangerous mission. This is the warrior Joe Keel, the 'comer' appointed by the great Saturn, who is here to assist the southern provinces Priest Lothar Batar rescued the believers and people who were taken away by the rebel army."

The Minggu priest took out his sleeve and took out a small Saturn statue that could represent the vice-principal.

As soon as they saw this thing, the five Saturn priests who were in charge of the work here all agreed~www.novelbuddy.com~, so they nodded and asked them what help they needed.

"Give these two young men some blessings and weapons props that are sufficient for this trip."

Priest Minggu turned sideways to get out of the way, so that the people on the opposite side could clearly see the two of Kiel following him.

"Here, the warrior of Kiel. Fully armed, what else do you need?"

Kiel took two steps forward and said, "I need some auxiliary props that can facilitate my activities in the southern province with many mountains, rivers and forests."

After saying this, the people on the opposite side understood. The five of them discussed softly, and then the youngest one walked to a wall in the hall. For some reason, the thick rock wall protruded towards the wall. Slide one side away.

A room behind it was revealed.

The door of the room was blocked by a metal railing with a lock. The priest found the key from the key ring on his waist, opened the metal railing, and walked in.

After a while, he walked out with several items in his arms.

After the other party came to the door, he put down his things first, and locked the metal railing again. After the stone wall was closed, he came over with his things in his arms.

The old priest in black robe stretched out his hand, and a large piece of the ground in the middle of the hall rose up. After being raised by more than one meter, it happened to be a small stone table that could place items.

The things taken out were placed on the stone table one by one. Keel saw that the most important ones were two mottled plant headgears with many branches and shrub branches.

In addition, there is a set of metal nails combined with several stone balls.

There are also two small wooden Saturn statues.

A mini cabin toy the size of your palm.

Keir became curious and asked what these things were.
