Chapter 374： Pastor who lost the light

After the handover on the dock, I spent a long time to see the escapers from the plains of the Holy Spirit completing all the registrations, accepting the doctor's disease check, and being taken to the buffer camp for rest. He was relieved. Come.

These people, with their trust in him, chose to leave their homes and chose an unknown land to the south. Although they were attacked by the Church of Light and captured by the lords, they have no way to live, but they are not only in the South. This road can go, but since these people choose to follow him, then he must take responsibility to the end.

People can do their part to talk about morality. This is what the Holy Light told him.

Holy Light...

Wright stood on the edge of the pier square and looked down at his thick and powerful hands. On the palm of his hand, he could see two wounds still healed. It was through several churches while passing through Carroll. The soldiers were left behind by the conflict. The two small wounds were exchanged for the life of an innocent girl who was identified as a cult. This is a very valuable price, but these two small wounds have not yet been Complete healing, this only shows that the Holy Light has really left him.

Wright sighed softly, then looked up and looked at the bustling, lively neighborhoods of the city.

"Cesil... I am back."

He walked through the busy and floating streets of the Docklands, through Pine Street and Pebble Park, and finally to the house where the Lord was.

In the study of the Lord's House, Gao Wen, who was reviewing the report, saw Wright Ivicen wearing a plain cloth. He was a little surprised that the pastor returned early, but before Wright entered the door, he had already been from the amber mouth. I heard about what happened on the dock square. He nodded to the strong pastor: "Welcome back, I heard that you brought back more than a dozen people who fled? Is it all the way?"

“Thank you for your concern,” Wright bowed his head slightly. “Those people are the unexpected things I encountered on the way back.”

He did not expect that he would bring so many people back. At first, he just wanted to bring the young couple he met in the northern village of the Rock Fortress back to Cecil, but did not expect to meet more needs on the way back. The helper, the more people who followed him at the end, became a small team. Fortunately, he met the caravan who was preparing to return to Cecil after passing through the Carroll collar. Otherwise, this road must still be It will be much harder.

"Your pastor's robes?" Gao Wen looked at Wright curiously. "And the prayer book you usually hang on your waist?"

"Sold," Wright said calmly. "A dozen people want to eat. My travel expenses are not enough. They are poor people. Most of the family's property has been taken away by the local lord or the church. When I am on the road, I was penniless and I sold my robes and prayer books."

Gao Wen was taken aback: "Sold? Isn't that something important to you?"

Wright smiled and smiled: "The robes are just old robes. Although the clothes are very good, they are just clothes. The prayer book was also copied by me. I can recite all the above and look back. I can dictate one more. The teaching of the Holy Light is not in the carrier, but in the heart."

Looking at the sacred priest who was very indifferent, Gao Wen couldn’t help but touch it. He nodded lightly. He didn’t mention anything about robes and prayer books. Instead, he asked the other person to go to the plain of the Holy Spirit. Seeing: "You return early, presumably you have already seen what you want to see?"

"To tell the truth, I would rather not see..." Wright sighed. "The church has fallen... It should have been said that it has long since fallen, but I have always deliberately ignored this fact and used 'everyone believes in the light'. It is said that the plains of the Holy Spirit are no longer the paradise for the world to protect the world. The sacred priests and the greedy aristocratic lords collude, crushing the last sweat of the civilians and bringing all those who disobey them. The land that has been inhabited for generations has been expelled. The only thing I can't believe is that I have only been there for two years, and they can fall so quickly and thoroughly..."

"According to the information from the plains of the Holy Spirit, since the church of the Holy Light held a cardinal meeting at the level of the bishops last year, their style of acting has become more and more extreme. This aspect is the strength of the sects of the sects of the Holy Light for so many years. At the peak, it has been inflated and corrupted. On the other hand, it must have been instructed by the upper echelons of the church." Gao Wen said what he knew. After watching it, he looked at Wright’s eyes. "But I believe that a church cannot be 100% Fall, just like you, in my eyes, is a true light practitioner, Mr. Wright, welcome back to this still clean land, the key to the church is in the evangelist manager, I have already told you, you Go back and re-manage the church at any time."

"...the lord, this is exactly what I want to say," Wright suddenly smiled and spread his hands. "I am afraid I can no longer serve as a pastor of the Holy Light. The same is true for the management of the church."

This is really unexpected. He stopped the action of reviewing the report and looked at the only pastor on the territory in front of him with a look: "What happened? You will not be too irritated to go straight back." What?"

Wright did not answer directly, but raised his hands. After a moment, a little white light was slightly emanating between his hands, but the brilliance of the group did not persist until one second broke down.

Gao Wen only felt a very weak wave of magical fluctuations, and the weak fluctuations were not official demon or magic, and even the tricks could not be called.

"What's the matter?" He frowned and asked him to know Wright's original strength. Although the pastor was strange in style, his skill and pastor's professional level was still solid, and his faith was firm. The affinity is high, and its magical power is even upstream in the same level pastor. How can this go out and go straight to a holy light spark?

"I sat down against the light," Wright said with a wry smile. "I beat the fellow churchmen who believe in the Holy Light and continue to be beaten after he loses his resistance. After that, my power of the Holy Light will quickly decline. It is."

Gao Wen’s expression was serious. He stared at Wright’s eyes: “Where is it?”

Wright did not conceal, and now he immediately said his experience in the small village in the north of the Rock Fortress. He did not hide his anger and violence when he taught the two soldiers and the pastor. He was contemptuous and disgusted with each other, but after he had finished speaking, he still sighed a long sigh: "I don't regret my behavior, but I did violate the teachings of the Holy Light. I should have been better. The disposal plan was still stunned by anger."

Gao Wen frowned: "After this?"

Wright spread his hand: "I started to return after this, and saved more than a dozen people on the road... I also learned a dozen people."

Gao Wenxin said that the number of times the pastor was stunned by anger seems to be quite a lot... may it be a broken can?

He stood up from the desk and walked up and down in front of Wright, and while he was walking, he fell into his thoughts. After a moment, he looked up again: "You think that because your behavior deviated from the light, it led to the loss of the light." the power of?"

Lai features nodded: "Only this explanation."

Gao Wen rubbed his beard with his hand on his chin. After a little sinking, he looked at Wright and asked: "Then you think that you are more serious than the pastor who was taught by you. Who is more serious about the divergence of the Holy Light?"

"This..." Wright was probably so badly hit before that he didn't even think about it. At this time, when Gao Wenyi asked, he thought about it. "I don't know..."

"You know, no one is deeper than your understanding of the Light. No one is more moral than you." Gao Wen interrupted Wright's words. "Obviously, if you beat a pastor, you are against the Holy If it is light, then those sacred officials who collude with local aristocrats for money, sue the innocent civilians, and use the magic to harm innocent people are simply the enemies of the Holy Light, and the world is dark."

Wright had a bit of time: "This..."

Gao Wen did not give the other party the opportunity to continue thinking, but continued: "The situation is that you have lost the power of the Holy Light, but those who are more contrary to the teachings of the Holy Light than you can still use the magic, you think this is why?"

Wright was mired in thinking, and Gao Wen looked at the priest who had lost the power of the Holy Light and was also immersed in contemplation.

He has always been curious about the gods and related religious beliefs of the world, but he dare not delve deeper because of the divine nature of taboos, but now a special research sample appears to be a bit unfair to Wright, but this one The pastor has indeed become a special research sample.

Just in front of Gao Wen, there is a living example of losing the magic of the gods because of the falsification of faith.

Wright lost the process of sacred light... Did it reveal some secrets of the magic? Or... reveal some secrets about the connection between man and god?

Is the so-called magical technique just a process of "self-suggestion", "self-affirmation", and "self-identification"? Or is it... this process strengthens the connection between humans and gods, and leads to the creation of magic?

In thinking about it, Gao Wen came up with an idea. If he let Reiter re-establish self-affirmation and let him believe that his behavior is in line with the true meaning of the light, then will his magic come back?

But when this idea came out, he was denied: although Wright has been saying that his behavior violates the teachings of the Holy Light, but looking at his current performance, obviously he does not think so in his heart, he clearly knows the real It is the pastor who was beaten by him that violated the light of the Holy Light...so he did not shake the belief in the light in the subconscious...

His shake is another level.

Gao Wen thought about the speed, so many thoughts flashed and it took only a few seconds. He looked at Wright, who was still meditating. After a little sinking, he broke the silence: "Mr. Wright, you are still on the territory. Priest."

Wright looked up in surprise: "But the lord..."

"I know that you lost the magic," Gao Wen raised his hand and interrupted the other person's words. "But is the magic really your everything as a pastor?"

"Your faith in the light, your persistence in the virtues, your enthusiasm for the work of attracting goodness, remains unchanged, and as long as these things do not change, you are the best candidate for the pastor on the territory. .

"Mr. Wright, you are only temporarily lost, but remember that losing magic does not mean that you can't continue to help others. The dozens of people you brought back are basically after you lose your magic. Is it not saved?"

Wright took a moment and finally nodded slightly: "As you said."

"Go to the church, think about it," Gao Wen sighed softly. "Many people are asking you about the administrators of the Evangelist Square these days. They are waiting for you to come back."
