Fang Yu stood there quietly, not knowing what to answer for a moment. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he felt nervous and uneasy. He could almost imagine how he would be surrounded next, but it was as if there were roots under his feet, and he refused to move an inch.
He didn't know where his persistence came from, but he was determined in his heart, as if he had a flash of inspiration, and there seemed to be a voice guiding him. He couldn't hear the voice, but the voice was pervasive, as if it were his own sincere thoughts.
In Aitaria, this experience is still very novel for the chosen ones, but there are indeed some people among the indigenous people who are called prophets who can enter such a state of inspiration. Although Fang Plover has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away, and he probably understands that he has received an oracle at this moment.
Just like the forest goddess' revelation to herself, Ms. Marland is actually looking for herself.
But what is she looking for herself to do?
The old knight looked at him, and a light suddenly flashed in his dim eyes.
At this moment, the screams of the knights suddenly came from behind the two of them. Fang Plover turned his head in that direction involuntarily, and saw the silhouette of Bein's knight ascending the steps of the temple in admiration. It was only a dozen meters away from here, but at this moment, a wall of light descending from the sky suddenly appeared in front of them - the golden waterfall seemed to be hanging from the clouds, just like a bunch of sharp swords, thrust straight into the steps in front of the temple.
The golden beam of light in the darkness not only separated the dark clouds, but also separated the raging sandstorm, as if it was the center of the storm. A bright light fell from the clouds, making almost half of Bein City clearly visible.
Most of Bein's knights were followers of Malan. Seeing this scene, they were so shocked that they knelt down involuntarily, lowered their heads and caressed their chests, as if they were being blessed. And the actions of a few people have led more people to follow suit, because regardless of whether they are believers or not... After all, Aitaria is a world where true gods exist.
Fang Yu even saw many people burst into tears and howling loudly in the sandstorm. As a non-aboriginal person, it was difficult for him to understand this kind of admiration, but this did not prevent him from naturally having thoughts flash through his heart at this moment. A thought:
Malan, God has descended.
Less than half a month ago, Amaya had descended once in Tansnir, and it was rumored that the Lord of the Mountain had also appeared in the Forge Hall a month ago.
There are also rumors on the White Fields that a traveler saw a giant walking in the Mirfang area. It was a sacred structure of Woking, the god of pottery, which had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years before.
Gods appear frequently, whether for good or bad, and there are no such rumors in history. Unless it was something before the Numelin era, because most of the historical records before that time have been lost in the dust of history, making it impossible for the world to know.
Fang Yu looked at this scene without much "shock" in his heart. After all, there was still a world of separation between the chosen one and this world, but he still felt emotional. He turned back involuntarily, and the old knight just watched this scene quietly. He felt his eyes looking over, glanced at him, and stepped aside without saying a word, gesturing for him to come in.
Neither of them spoke, but Fang Yu understood the other's meaning and took one last look at the knights outside - the wonder was called a wonder because it was rare, but after looking at it for a while, it was nothing more than that. Remembering that he was not safe, he nodded to the other party, without thanking him, and hurried past him and walked into the temple.
The old knight looked at the people outside, then looked up at the light in the air. He pressed his wrinkled hand on his chest and drew a strange symbol, staggered diagonally left and right, like a pair of sharp swords passing through each other. . Then he opened his eyes again, and his eyes were dim again. He didn't care about what was going on outside, and just stepped forward and closed the door.
…
There was silence in the high-arched and deep hall, corresponding to the low and whistling sound of the wind outside - while a candle burned in the distance, with only a little light shining through the rows of dust-covered benches. A long, intricately patterned shadow is outlined behind it.
There was still sand falling from the ceiling of the hall, forming several thin waterfalls and making a gentle rustling sound. This is not to say that the temple is in disrepair, but this is a very common thing in this area, especially in this dust storm weather, it is quite helpless.
After the dust storm is over, cleaning will definitely be a big problem.
But this is Malan's temple after all, and there will definitely be many believers who are obliged to help. After thinking about it, it's not a big deal.
Fang Lu was walking through the rows of chairs and looking at the empty hall. It seemed that the elderly knight outside seemed to be the only one taking care of the huge temple, so he made this thought. He stood in the middle of the hall and looked around. There seemed to be no service staff, no monks, no apprentices, it was empty and quiet.
But after a while, rustling footsteps came from behind.
In the dim light of the fire, the old knight turned in from outside the temple wall. The other party looked at him with few words, opened his mouth and said bluntly:
"You are the Saint of Fenris."
Fang Plover was shocked.
He took a step back involuntarily.
But the surprise did not make him lose the ability to think. Instead, his mind started to spin rapidly. Thinking of the words that Amaya had revealed to him like a riddle not long ago, a clue quickly surfaced. The Forest Lady tells him that she is not the one who is really looking for him, but of course there is someone else.
The revelation she gave was the Holy Emblem of Malan. At that time, Fang Plover did not dare to think about Lady War, he only thought it was a knight under her command, or a specific person. But after watching today's scene, how could he not know what happened, and from the old knight's mouth, he could know that Marlan had been eyeing him since the Fenris incident.
But why?
But the old knight made no answer.
He walked over silently, crossed the square plover and walked towards the altar in front. After walking a few steps, he asked without looking back: "Since you have appeared in this place, I must inform Archbishop Faris. Do you have any objection?" "
"Who is Archbishop Faris?"
"The lady is the archbishop of Istania and her knight." The old knight's answer was still concise.
This 'her knight' speaks volumes.
Fang Yu knew clearly in his heart that he was the chosen one.
Every archbishop of the Orin gods is their chosen one. Different chosen ones have different names. The one from Angina is called the Great Seer, the one from Woking is the Craftsman of Woking, and the knight of Mallan, Specifically referring to her Archbishop. This kind of person is already the patriarch of a diocese and is in charge of thousands of believers. On earth, he is at least at the level of a cardinal.
But there are many gods in Aitaria, and the gods of Orin are of the same blood. Although there are some feuds between the gods, most of them are on the same page. Their believers also have clear goals for each other. Even in the same area, there will be multiple beliefs that overlap with each other but do not interfere with each other.
However, there will still be some emphasis on belief in different regions. For example, in Istania, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, there will be more temples for Ms. Roman, which is an important parish of the Corin-Ithurian goddess of commerce. Relatively speaking, the temples of Malan are only common in military fortresses like Bein.
After listening to the other party's brief answer, Fang Pliance was secretly surprised. Could he actually alarm a patriarch?
But when he thought that the other party recognized him immediately, he suddenly wasn't so surprised anymore, and there was quite a commotion outside. If you think about it carefully, the oracle sent down by the goddess that day was very important. The knights and archbishops of the archdiocese immediately sent the corresponding news to every parish and jurisdiction below. Either Malan directly sent an oracle and notified every one of his followers.
However, he believed that the former was more likely, after all, the big cat man had never heard of it.
He did not answer yes or no to the other party's question, because the old knight's words did not sound like he was asking for his opinion, rather it was just a notification.
He simply asked: "Can you contact the Archdiocese of Istania in this weather?"
The old knight is placing his hand on the altar.
After listening to Fang Plover's words, the latter shook his head slightly. "I just deposited the news with the goddess. When the storm passes, they will know it."
Fang Yu thought that this belief was really convenient, but he gave up his thoughts. It would be a surprise to him if Mallan's temple actually had the ability to contact the outside world under such circumstances. He now has a lot of information to contact other people in the Seven Seas Brigade. Bein and his team have gained a lot. It's too much.
Including the unbelievably large string of numbers displayed on the glossy page in front of him, with values in Rissel units. There was no time to pay attention to this when fleeing before, but now that he was free, Fang Yu immediately felt a dizzy and unreal feeling.
However, the old knight turned around at this time, and his dim eyes obviously could not see the page of light that did not exist for the aborigines.
He just looked at Fang Plover quietly, and after a long while he said:
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask."
Fang Plover was slightly startled.
But he did have a lot of questions to ask.
…
The old knight's name was Maisil, Maisil-Brad-Abdubas-Adya.
Just from this name, you can tell the opponent's noble origin, but this is normal. Most of the Templar Knights are nobles. In fact, the big cat man is obviously not a commoner in Rotas. Just look at his beard and ring. You can tell by the name engraved on it.
Brad means knight in Istania, which means the highest origin among the family with this surname. However, Fang Plover doubts that this is the old knight himself, because his father's surname is Abbas in Istania. Tania is not a noble surname.
In fact, some people with innocent backgrounds will pass the temple selection and obtain the status of noble knights. In some areas, this is the only way forward for the lower classes. Although there are factions within the religion, and a few temple families monopolize most of the resources, in Aitaria where the true god exists, everything is at least not without restraint.
Maiishil lit an oil lamp, brought two clean cushions, and sat across from him. Although there are chairs around, this is probably the only clean seat in the temple at this moment.
Fortunately, Fang Plover doesn't pay attention to this.
He was silent for a while and then asked:
"You...are looking for me?"
This question was asked a bit haphazardly and a little strangely. If he didn't know this, how could he come to this place?
But Mai Yixier didn't take it seriously and nodded slowly.
"Is it the oracle of the goddess...Ms. Marlan?" Fang Pliant subconsciously wanted to say the goddess, but he suddenly realized that he was not a believer of Marlan. Only believers would use such a title, and they would usually say our The goddess is on top. And if you are not a believer, saying this would be a bit offensive.
Ms. Malan is the official title others give to this God of War.
"Yes."
"but why……"
Mai Yixier saw that he was confused, and there was no surprise in his expression. He said calmly: "The oracle sent down by the goddess is that the person she is looking for has appeared in the world, and she has asked us to find the savior of Fenris."
'The person she is looking for has already appeared', this sentence sounded somewhat meaningful to Fang Plover. The person you are looking for is undoubtedly yourself. Although he did not dare to claim to be the 'savior' of Fenris Island, his contribution in that incident was well known, and it would be hypocritical to be too modest.
The four words "already appeared" show that this goddess is not just a whim.
Could it be that the other party has been waiting for such an opportunity to appear?
Fang Yu couldn't help but think with a little panic.
Omniscient and omnipotent is just a crown given to their gods by believers, but a being who can truly achieve this ability may not exist in Aitaria. The gods only focus on their own fields, and even the wise God of Knowledge, Anjana, does not even dare to say that he knows the past.
At least the past events before the Sun Gods are unknown to his followers.
Not to mention predicting the future.
But there are some ancient prophecies...
For example, the long scroll of Yuanhai.
If there is any great power in the eyes of the chosen one, then this mysterious and unpredictable ability is obviously enough to be called a "miracle". It gives people a sense of insignificance, and there is a kind of inescapable power before the unknown. shape feeling.
Fang Yu asked cautiously: "Excuse me, is this related to a certain prophecy...?"
But Mai Yixier glanced at him and shook his head: "Prophecy? The future is shrouded in fog, except for the supreme Etta, and the daughter of the great man who has gained the power of destiny, the blind goddess Elaine—— Who can really know? The goddess gives revelations, but rarely predicts the future."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering why he didn't follow the script. "...Then, why me?"
"What the goddess values is fearless courage and the ability to change situations. Those heroes of the world are exactly the people she favors."
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this what it means to say that Ms. Marland sent down the oracle with great fanfare in order to find herself?
He opened his mouth, originally thinking that he had to comply with some ancient prophecy, looking for a savior, or a door opener - but it sounded like he was just taking a fancy to his performance in Fenris. That's it?
The sense of mystery that had just arisen in my heart suddenly collapsed completely, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground. He has heard of such a routine and is no stranger to it - isn't this the way Malan selects his chosen one? Generally speaking, she will choose one of her own chosen ones every fifteen years.
The replacement process of archbishops in each diocese is almost every fifteen years, which is exactly the same.
The same is true for other gods.
However, he seemed to remember that Marlan's Divine Chosen was born just three years ago.
And the gods almost never choose the chosen one as the chosen one——
Mai Yixier nodded: "The goddess is choosing her spokesperson in the world."
"Spokesperson?" Fang Yu was slightly startled: "Isn't he chosen by God?"
"It can also be said to be the divine choice," the old knight replied: "But not entirely. There are very few records about spokespersons in history, but they do appear."
Fang Yu couldn't help but pointed at himself: "...Is this me?"
Mai Yixier nodded again.
This statement is quite new, because at least it sounds more serious than the divine selection of a class of fifteen years. But Fang Yu keenly noticed something from the other party's attitude and asked:
"So there is more than one such agent, right?"
"nature."
Sure enough, Fang Yu secretly said that it was really a scam.
He was full of disdain for the so-called divine selection. If something was rare, he might still have the desire to attract people's attention, but this kind of divine selection every fifteen years was too cliché. Besides, he didn't compete for the title of bishop. professional heart.
As for the spokesperson's statement, it sounds interesting, but there is more than one. What does this mean? It means that this thing may also be a piece of junk, and it sounds like there is a lot of trouble waiting for him.
Having learned from the past, he immediately realized that this was also a pit.
Fang Yu subconsciously wanted to ask himself if he could refuse this divine choice, because even a goddess cannot be unreasonable, right? What’s more, He is the Chosen One. The major temples have also signed the "Stargate Declaration" with the Stargate Port. This shows that the gods also acquiesce in this contract. They can't deny it, right?
All in all, the goddess has to ask him for his personal opinion. What if he doesn't want to be the spokesperson? He appointed himself as someone's agent in the human world for no reason. Doesn't this feel a bit royal?
However, he glanced at the old knight in front of him, and after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.
The other party is just the host of this temple, and he must not be able to answer this question on behalf of Malan. He had better wait to ask this question in front of Bishop Faris.
But when he thought of this, something suddenly moved in his heart.
Amea has appeared as a saint, and Marlan has also appeared as a saint. Recently, the gods have frequently appeared in Aitalia. Are they all looking for their own spokespersons?
But here comes the problem. As mentioned above, the selection of the gods has its own rules. Although not all are elected every fifteen years like Ms. Marland, they cannot deviate from the original principles. There must be a charter. , so that your believers can be prepared, right? Does it mean that something happened when they are suddenly looking for a representative in such an abnormal way?
And an idea flashed in Fang Yu's mind, and he almost immediately connected it with a few words:
The evil star comes to the world, and the divine war begins.
