Chapter 2477 Sealing Ceremony

Dinin had known for a long time that Earl Winthrop was plotting to oust him, seize the position of "Chief Churchman", and turn the "Brotherhood of Our Lady" into a tool to realize his ambitions.

Of course Dinin was not willing to give up his position in the church. In fact, he is also eager to incorporate the northern branch, unify the believers of Our Lady in the New World under his own banner, and become the "pope" above all the believers.

In order to fight against the Winthrop family in the north, Dinin needs to develop more and more potential believers to enrich the strength of his own camp, and this is his current main job.

The accidental death of Francis Messinger made Dinin see the hope of realizing his ambition.

Messinger is a representative of the "Seal of Rebirth" and a follower of the Winthrop family. The death of this person not only weakened the power of the Winthrop family in the church, but also provided Dinin with a good opportunity to expand his strength.

As the leader of the church, Dinin has the right to promote a new person to replace Francis Messinger.

After comprehensively inspecting all the candidate church members, especially under the strong recommendation of Betty, Dinin finally selected one person as the key training target, that is, his old friend——Professor Trofim Moriarty.

At this moment, Professor Moriarty was standing in front of the main altar, watching Dinin lead the congregation to hold a prayer ceremony, with no change of emotion visible on his face.

At this moment, Dinin stepped down from the Sphinx altar and smiled at Professor Moriarty.

"Trofim, my friend, welcome to our family!"

"Honored."

Professor Moriarty bowed, and then presented with both hands the black onyx that imprisoned the soul of Sir Custis, which was the certificate of joining the "big family" that Dinin called.

Over the years, Dinin and Betty have been lobbying Professor Moriarty to join the "Brotherhood of Our Lady". As long as he nods, he can become a formal church member and obtain any kind of holy seal bestowed by the Virgin Echidna.

Professor Moriarty was unmoved, and did not raise a condition until not long ago, unless Ekadna directly bestowed on him the highest level of holy seal and no less than seven levels of mythical power, he would consider joining the "Brothers of the Holy Mother" meeting".

Dinin performed the "spirituality", conveyed to his goddess the conditions set by Professor Moriarty, and then received a "divine revelation".

Echidna can satisfy Professor Moriarty's request, but before that, Moriarty must kill the apostate Dantridge Custis and take back the "alien hair" sealed in his soul. Holy Seal" to prove that he has sincerely converted to the faith of Our Lady.

Dining told Professor Moriarty about the "revelation", but he didn't know whether he was willing to accept this test.

If Ser Custis was so easy to deal with, Dinin and his friends would have done it long ago, and they would not have tolerated the apostate alive to this day.

To his surprise, Professor Moriarty accepted the test and successfully brought back the soul of Sir Custis, which made him very impressed.

Dinin took the black agate and showed a satisfied smile after the spell appraisal.

"Trophim, I am proud of you. This sacrifice will surely please our Lord greatly and bestow upon you the promised grace."

"I hope so."

Professor Moriarty replied indifferently, as if he didn't care much about the divine favor he was about to receive, and his eyes drifted to the door of the chapel intentionally or unintentionally, thoughtfully.

"Trophim, Dantridge Custis's 'Seal of Alternative Hair', or Francis Messinger's 'Seal of Regeneration', you can choose one to inherit." Dinin smiled.

"Are there only these two seals available?" Professor Moriarty asked calmly.

"The other holy seal bloodlines already have corresponding representative church members. Of course you can get them too, but you can only get middle-level holy seals at most. You need to practice yourself to evolve to high-level holy seals and awaken the power of mythology."

"On the contrary, the two bloodlines of 'Rebirth Holy Seal' and 'Different Sending Holy Seal' have no mythical successors. You can just fill in the vacancy. After receiving the divine favor, you can directly obtain the high-level holy seal and awaken the seventh-level mythical power. , it’s like taking a shortcut, which saves a lot of trouble.” Dining patiently explained.

"Then, which of these two holy seals is stronger?" Professor Moriarty continued to inquire.

"The 'Different Hair Seal' can strengthen your hair and make it evolve into an indestructible smart weapon; the 'Regeneration Seal' can strengthen your body, giving you the ability to regenerate broken limbs and self-heal wounds, Both have their own characteristics, it is hard to say which one is stronger and weaker, which seal you choose depends on whether you prefer to attack or protect yourself."

After listening to Dinin's explanation, Professor Moriarty made a decision after a little thought.

"I choose 'Seal of Rebirth'."

"My friend, you are as wise as ever."

Dinin smiled slightly. Professor Moriarty's choice was completely within his expectations.

There are two options of "offensive" and "self-preservation". Of course, a rational egoist would prefer the latter.

Dining has known Professor Moriarty for more than ten years, and he is confident that he has already seen through the true nature of this person.

"Brother Trophim, come with me and receive the grace of our Lord."

Dining changed the name of his old friend, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two also changed from a relaxed chat between friends to a solemn and solemn religious ceremony.

Trophim nodded, followed Dinin to the main altar, knelt on one knee facing the statue of the Virgin, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head in prayer.

Dinin untied the holy symbol wrapped around his wrist, and whispered a prayer in praise of Ekadna.

The holy emblem is carved from cork, and the front of the round plate depicts an abstract placenta surrounded by ten shining stars, symbolizing the ten sacred bloodlines conceived by the Virgin.

Accompanied by Dinin's prayer, the eighth star clockwise suddenly became bright and dazzling, implying that the Holy Mother had sent divine grace and activated the eighth-ranked "Seal of Rebirth" among the ten holy seals.

Dinin picked up the holy emblem and pressed it on Professor Moriarty's forehead, and the golden divine power was injected into the body through the holy emblem.

There is a bell tower on the top of the chapel, and the magic-driven bell rings at the right time to announce the arrival of midnight

When the bell struck the twelfth time, the "Sealing Ceremony" was successfully concluded. Dinin withdrew the holy emblem and raised his hand to signal Professor Moriarty to get up.

Ekadna's ten holy seals correspond to ten bloodline mutations, and those who receive the holy seal will transform into "strange" subspecies no matter what species they were before.

When the ten holy seals are implanted into the body, they often manifest as external organ distortions.

For example, the "Different Hair Seal" will make the host's hair turn white and stretch like a snake; the "Different Eye Seal" will cause an eyeball to grow on the back of the host's neck, and so on.

However, there are also individual holy seals that are more closely integrated with the host, and there are almost no signs of distortion from the outside - the "Rebirth Holy Seal" that Professor Moriarty just received is one of them.
