Chapter 56 The Oracle of Light
Half a month ago, in the church headquarters of the Pope Morabia capital, Pope Phoebis, as usual, brought many priests, pastors and nuns, guiding ordinary people to pray in front of the statues in the hall.
In this religious country that believes in gods, prayer is a daily compulsory course for the church, and religious beliefs are deeply rooted in people's hearts. It can be said that every household is a devout religious believer. Even if this is a country with mixed races, the popular common term in the world today originated from here.
As the bell of prayer rang, people left the hall one after another, and Phoebes was left alone in the chair. Recently, he felt increasingly old and was unable to do his usual prayer. Thinking of this, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Sir Pope, Sir Pope!" Will, one of the four cardinals, rushed into the hall excitedly, searching for Phoebes with great anxiety.
"What's wrong, Will?" The Pope stood up with some difficulty, looking at the youngest middle-aged man among the Cardinals who had already chosen to replace him as the next pope.
"According to news from monks from the Youfangfang, a small town in the Federation of Lorelais was attacked by an unknown race!" Will slowed down and reported himself to Phoebes with great anxiety.
"What?!" The monks of the Youfang are a low-level branch of the priesthood rank. It is not included in the level system that can be upgraded. The combat maids among warriors and the knights among knights are also the same. They are one of the basic components of the church. They collect information for the church by traveling around the mainland. Similar to ascetics, they will not be wrong except for a few situations.
Will also expected Phoebes to have such a reaction. Just like when he first learned, it was no longer surprising that demons attacked towns in various countries over the years, but it was unusual for guys from other races to do such things: "You heard it right. This time the attack was a dungeon town with dark elves. It was already a bit late when the monks of Youfang arrived. Fortunately, there was a student from St. Gress College there and they were still resisting, otherwise..."
"Well...St. Gress... Speaking of which, they started to open a black class since last year?" Phoebes seemed to remember something when he mentioned this name.
In fact, if you want to go into it, he still has some connection with St. Glace Academy. After the "Hope Development Plan" was implemented, he also made great efforts. He chose Huiyao, a signature student of St. Glace, who was trained as the strongest light knight and sent to this school.
The reason why countries decided to launch the "Hope Plan" was to use it for a counterattack in the crisis, and on the other hand, it was due to an unrespected "oracle" obtained by the church many years ago. "oracle" literally means the law issued by God. In different fields, God relies on the oracle to formulate its own rules, and the rules are perfectly matched to make the world order move forward. In other words, it is a manifestation of human belief, which can be the unconscious dream of a nun, or the traces of the holy water flowing, or the blood words appearing on the skin. Only when the content of the prophecy is achieved, these "holy marks" will disappear.
Now the short and unknown oracle is still in bright red and hideous state engraved on Phoebes' arm, as if reminding him not to forget his mission at all times. Phoebes gently pulled up his sleeves and looked at the red text written in ancient common words, "I hope to shine in the darkness, pure white despair is the biggest obstacle." While continuing to listen to Will's report.
"There is another thing. The Asian Xia Republic was also attacked. There is a lot of evidence that the demons did. Not only were the corpses of the demons found on the scene, but it was confirmed from the traitors that it was the people on several sides who fought for a rare 800-year-old Creation Stone."
"How many people? Who else?" Phoebes was quite confused.
"There are three young people who were caught in it. But the strangest thing is here. Among the three, one of the three people, who practiced dark energy, was able to recover his sanity after absorbing the life stone and leaving. It was incredible." Will looked at Phoebes, as if asking the other party for instructions on what to do.
Phoebes felt a little headache. The Creation Stone must be recycled and destroyed. Although he didn't know why the demon was collecting this strange object at all costs, it was definitely not a good thing. After pondering for a long time, Phoebes finally made a decision: "Find out this young man as soon as possible, protect him, and absorb that level of Creation Stone, and the demon will definitely act."
"But many people will definitely object, after all... the power of the dark system is inherited from the demon." Will was a little worried.
