Andacian monastery chapel
A warrior in white robes and silver armor came out, leading a white horse. A golden cross flag was behind him, and there was a circular golden halo above his head.
A sacred and holy atmosphere just appeared. William looked at the warriors running out of his sword, and question marks popped up in his head.
"Saint George? Francis the Brave?"
The figure of the warrior in front of him resembles St. George in the monastery painting.
The knight in armor, holding a holy sword in hand, riding a white horse, and carrying a cross flag, is a saint widely spread in the Christian world, a dragon-slaying hero, a martyred martyr, and the patron saint of the Christian army. In later generations, he will also be a saint. Becomes the patron saint of England.
The round golden light on the young warrior's head was full of sacredness.
"Hello, William!" the young soldier said with a smile.
"Hello!" William instinctively lowered his head and responded respectfully.
"You are Saint George!" William then looked up at him and said.
"I am Francis. It was the power of the Holy Sword that reshaped my body and allowed me to borrow the appearance of Saint George."
The young warrior said calmly, looking at William with a lonely look in his eyes, "I am not a knight. The power you were able to use the holy sword before came from my help. Now the evil dragon has come, so if I am gone, you You won’t be able to use the Holy Sword.”
"Why?" William looked at the Holy Sword in his hand, with attachment and reluctance in his eyes. At this time, he did not know that the Holy Sword of Dawn in his hand was just a copy of the real Holy Sword.
"Because the Holy Sword in your hand is only a secondary weapon and a copy of the real Holy Sword, who can use the Holy Sword is an arrangement of God and the will of the Holy Sword, and the Church of the secondary weapon has stipulated the user from the beginning. Priests and knights. If you don’t accept the canonization of knights, you won’t be qualified to use the holy sword.”
Francis simply said that the power of the secondary weapon actually comes from the genuine product, not only the secondary weapon Dawn, but also other items in the church. The church has formulated rules to make the secondary weapon similar in nature to the real holy sword, so the secondary weapon is similar in nature to the real holy sword. The weapon can summon the power of the true holy sword.
The user of the holy sword is determined by the holy sword itself, and the user of the secondary weapon is determined by the church, because the status of the secondary weapon is given by the church. So now that the evil dragon is attacking, William has no chance to obtain the canonization of the Knight of Lane. After gaining extraordinary power and becoming a true knight, naturally you will not be able to use the holy sword.
"Then how should I be qualified to use the Holy Sword?"
William asked in a deep voice. He was a little disappointed with what the brave Francis said, especially when he knew that the holy sword he held in his hand was just one of thousands of copies. It was natural to feel disappointed.
Becoming a time traveler, treating himself as the chosen one, and defeating the Lion Knight made him feel a little proud. At this time, he cleaned up his mood, repositioned his identity, and adjusted his mentality.
Blindly treating yourself as the chosen one and the protagonist will be fatal if you are unlucky.
Francis looked at the calm William and saw that he was not depressed because he had lost the ability to use the holy sword. There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
William was not qualified to use the Holy Sword in the first place. It was through him that William was able to use the Holy Sword. Therefore, it was actually a very stupid thing to feel disappointed that he had lost something that he had never obtained before. So he pointed out, "If you want to know how to use the Holy Sword, either become a clergy, a priest or a monk, or become a knight, a secular lord."
"But you are not a knight yourself!" William suddenly grasped the point.
The brave Francis himself was not a knight, nor a secular lord, nor a clergyman of the church. He and William, Hans, Kun, and Hess were actually very similar people. They all came from ordinary backgrounds and wanted to The only difference between the poor boy who wants to become famous and prosperous is that the brave Francis is very close to success. He has gained fame, established his own merits, and received the protection of nobles. If he hadn't failed to slay the dragon, Maybe he has become a monarch.
But Francis, who was clearly neither a clergyman nor a knight, was able to use the Holy Sword.
"Yes, I am not a knight, so I cannot canonize you as a knight and let you master the power of the Holy Seal, but I can let you master the same power as me."
"Same power as you."
"The essence of the Holy Seal is actually the Holy Light, and light is often related to dominion. It is said in the Book of John in the Bible that God is light, and there is no darkness at all around Him. Light is a symbol of God, There are sacred heroes, emperors or saints in history, and when describing their extraordinary side in detail, they always use the image of light."
"In other words, the power you use does not come from the power of God."
"Yes, my power comes from ancient rituals. God came to this continent, and the power of the gods on this continent fell silent. This is the world's perception. In fact, Zeus, the king of gods, and the god of animal husbandry Hermes, God King Odin, and Thunder God Thor, their power still exists widely in this world, even if they have fallen into silence."
The brave Francis said things that shocked William without hesitation. If these words fell into the eyes of the priest outside, there would be no doubt that he was a heretic who should be burned on the rack and grilled.
"My power comes from the Hercules in Greek mythology, Hercules. According to legend, this greatest hero in ancient Greek mythology is the son of Zeus, the king of gods, and Alcmene, a half-god and half-human hero. He accomplished twelve great and impossible tasks and thus became the only hero in mythology to become a god.”
"Another name for the brave is actually a hero. The only difference between us and heroes is that we do not possess the true blood of God. But even so, when we imitate the heroes in ancient Greek mythology, by completing impossible tasks , every great achievement and great cause is a training for us, which can enhance our reputation and strength, and ultimately we can be infinitely close to Heracles. If you want to become a saint, you can not only go through miracles and martyrdom, You can also build up unparalleled achievements through the training of great undertakings.”
The age of the ancient gods has now passed. Francis naturally does not want to become a god like Hercules. His greatest wish is to become a saint like St. George.
If a believer wants to be canonized by the church, the most basic condition is that after death he does not go to hell but to heaven. Those who can go to heaven are respectable. Saints are role models for all believers and can convey the prayers of believers to God on their behalf.
Therefore, the canonization of saints is not strict. The church has a complete set of rules and procedures.
For example, some saints were canonized as saints after their death because of their successive miracles. Needless to say, one can tell at a glance that this is favored by God. Since it is favored by God, it should be made a saint.
Some saints were canonized as saints because of their martyrdom and death that was too tragic and symbolic. For example, St. George who was burned to death by the Roman emperor would rather be burned to death than give up his faith.
Some saints were kings during their lifetime. Not only did they lead the entire country to convert their faith, they also became soldiers of God themselves and participated in the Crusades to fight against the pagans.
For example, King Saint Louis of France was pious himself, launched two Crusades for the faith of God, was fair and strict, and had flawless morals, so much so that he became a role model for monarchs and was canonized as a saint after his death.
The brave Francis received the blessing of the Archbishop of Rhine and the recognition of the church. As long as he slays the dragon, he can become a monarch and enforce the law impartially. Then he will consider participating in a crusade. Even if he dies on the road, he can Was posthumously canonized as a saint.
In this medieval fairy tale world where miracles can come true and prayers and wishes are listened to by the gods, a person can strive to become a king and be posthumously canonized as a saint. It can almost be said that he will die without regrets.
"Then how should I obtain this power?" William asked. Compared to the brave Francis who was still dreaming about becoming a saint, he was more concerned about how to obtain extraordinary power.
The dragon has arrived, and the abbot may not be able to hold out for long.
"It's very simple. Just as the power of the secondary weapon comes from the genuine holy weapon, Dawn can summon the power of the real holy sword. According to the rules, the secondary weapon also has sacred attributes and can destroy Satan!" Francis said.
"But that's a dragon." William's eyes widened. When did this evil dragon turn into Satan?
"In the Book of Revelation, Satan is the image of the evil dragon. Therefore, in God's rules, the evil dragon can be regarded as Satan. Therefore, the holy sword has the power to slay dragons. This is also the reason why the evil dragon will not let me go. The evil dragon If you destroy the Holy Sword, it means that evil has defeated justice, darkness has defeated light, Satan has defeated God, and his power will inevitably be strengthened."
Francis said this, looked at William and said encouragingly, "My method is like this. Satan confirmed his status by becoming the enemy of God and wanting to devour the Son of God. The evil dragon is in the rules It appears as the incarnation of Satan, so as long as you swear to be the enemy of the evil dragon and the dragon-slaying hero, you will gain the corresponding power after performing the ceremony."
"What do you mean?" William was a little confused. He could understand every word Francis said, but he couldn't understand them all.
Why can I gain extraordinary power by swearing to be a dragon-slaying hero?
No matter how you look at it, this behavior seems to be a "touch of porcelain".
"Light and darkness exist in everyone's heart and are always present everywhere. As powerful as the darkness is, so is the light. As long as you swear to become a dragon-slaying hero, you can use the power of the evil dragon to strengthen you."
The brave Francis said, William's head was dizzy, and he finally understood the meaning of this sentence. It was really a piece of marketing.
In the eyes of the world, dragons are undoubtedly very scary, powerful, and terrifying beings. Therefore, the young warrior who claims to slay the dragon is obviously a very powerful being. After all, if he has no strength, how can he dare to say that he wants to slay the dragon?
Satan has no strength and dares to confront Father God!
In the same way, if a human boy has no strength, how can he dare to confront Satan.
Dragon = Satan
Satan = God
Therefore, the brave man who declares that he wants to slay the dragon also has his own equation.
Brave = Dragon
Dragon = Satan
Brave = Satan
Satan = God
Brave = God
William=brave
William=God
A lot of formulas came to William's mind, and then he looked at Francis' expression smiling at him, confirming his association.
I said no wonder, the brave man was killed by the evil dragon.
It turns out that the brave men who gain strength through this method are too weak.
