Chapter 166: Cannot Be Divined, Cannot Be Predicted, Cannot Be Gazed upon by the Gods

Ryan rolled his eyes. At this moment, he had the illusion that he would directly ask this kid to join the temple, and he would probably agree.

But even if Xu Lai wants to join, the temple may not necessarily agree.

His Majesty the God of War and the Pope have long said that temple personnel are not allowed to participate in politics. Even in this special period, the temple can only absorb some heroes with little development prospects.

To put it bluntly, even if these people live until the end of the troubled times, they will not be qualified to inherit the status of heroes, which is equivalent to having no successors except their generation.

As for Xu Lai, the temple actually had higher expectations for him, not to mention that Xu Lai had basically obtained the status of a noble at this time.

Therefore, Xu Lai can only be an honorary knight, just like the original Aled. Although there are paladins accompanying him all the way, his identity is always just an honorary knight of the temple.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and in the end, at the God of War blessing ceremony held by High Priest Lane, Xu Lai held the honorary knight medal of the temple in his hand and knelt down on one knee in front of the phantom of the God of War summoned by Lane to take an oath.

At first, Xu Lai didn't take the so-called oath seriously, but gradually Xu Lai felt that something was wrong, as if the phantom of the God of War in front of him had really arrived in front of him.

A pressure that ordinary people could not feel appeared on Xu Lai's shoulders.

A trace of sweat slowly appeared on Xu Lai's forehead, and his mouth was saying something uncontrollably. Maybe it was the oath he had just memorized in his mind?

For some reason, facing the shadow of the God of War, Xu Lai felt more and more guilty.

Xu Lai seemed to have returned to his boyhood, when he made a mistake and promised his teacher that he would never make it again. It was this feeling of guilt, but now it was amplified.

When the not-so-long oath ended, Xu Lai's forehead was already wet with sweat, and all his thick black hair stuck to his forehead.

Looking around, Xu Lai discovered that except for the high priest Ryan who was presiding over the ceremony, whose eyes were still closed, the others, including the two paladins at the door of his tent, were kneeling on the ground like him.

Xu Lai swallowed quietly, and when the high priest Ryan, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and signaled everyone to get up, he dared to quietly ask Pierce beside him:

"What happened just now? Did His Majesty the God of War come in person?"

Pierce did not answer this question. He shook his head silently, and his expression did not seem to be very good.

It was Ryan who explained: "Subject to the law of creation, the power of any god cannot directly affect the real world, let alone the generals.

Just now, His Majesty the God of War looked over and informed you. "

"Wha, what do you mean? Are you saying His Majesty the God of War is telling me that he is watching me?"

Ryan bowed devoutly and said: "His Majesty the God of War is watching all of us."

After a pause, Ryan said to Xu Lai: "But His Highness has never notified anyone."

Xu Lai felt guilty again, hesitated and asked:

"Then did I just say nonsense?

I completely forgot what I just said. "

Ryan glanced at Xu Lai and said: "Under the gaze of the God of War, no one can lie.

It's obvious that you don't approve of our teachings that much. "

No wonder a few of them looked bad. It was probably because they had really talked nonsense under the gaze of the God of War just now.

For a moment, Xu Lai seemed quite embarrassed, not knowing whether the ceremony was completed or not.

The most important thing is, what did he say? Xu Lai was so anxious that he wanted to take out a stick and beat the two of them. It was like knowing that he had done some immoral things while drunk, but others only used strange things. The eyes look the same on you.

"Although you don't agree with our teachings that much, His Majesty the God of War still recognizes you.

So, congratulations, from now on, you can be considered a member of our temple. Please keep your medal and don't take it off at any time. "

After Ryan finished speaking, he cupped his hands with Xu Lai and said goodbye.

Pierce can't leave yet. He knows that Xu Lai is probably unwilling to go to hand over to Count Aini, so he can only work harder to do it for him.

As soon as Ryan left, the atmosphere in the tent obviously relaxed. Xu Lai let out a breath silently, wondering how a mere sixth-level high priest could have such a powerful aura.

"Old Pi, what did I just say? Why do I think you all look so unhappy?"

Lao Pi touched his head and said to Xu Lai: "Ah, I can't say anything without His Highness's permission.

But don't worry, since His Highness has approved you, it means that your true heart has passed his test. As long as you live up to your true heart, even if you violate part of the temple's teachings in the future, others will just pretend they didn't see it.

MD, you are the only knight in history, other than High King Aled, to join the temple under the eyes of His Highness. "

At the end of the sentence, Pierce's cheeks couldn't stop trembling. Judging from the fact that he could become a Holy Light Knight at such a young age, he should be favored by the God of War.

Although everything that has happened to Xu Lai cannot prove that the God of War no longer loves him, it is very likely that he is no longer the one most favored by the God of War.

"Ahem," Xu Lai coughed twice, fearing that this was the reason for the two being angry, rather than what he said wrongly just now.

This is normal. The teachings of the Temple of War are not complicated. If Xu Lai translates it into plain language, it means that you must be brave in battle. Cowardice is not a quality that a qualified warrior should have.

But bravery does not mean recklessness. You need to use your own wisdom in battle, know how to advance and retreat, know yourself and the enemy, etc.

In general, Xu Lai still agrees with most of the teachings of the Temple of War. He just has some complaints.

For example, what kind of battle is brave, what is reckless, under what circumstances is retreating wise to preserve the living force, and under what circumstances is it called running away.

For example, the God of War does not allow his knights to bully the weak, thinking that this is dishonorable.

Xu Lai also agrees. He is not a person who likes to bully the weak.

But in this world, there are always some blind weak people who do not think they are weak. Xu Lai has always been rude to such people.

Ryan probably has never seen anyone dare to criticize the teachings issued by the God of War himself, but His Highness the God of War seems to have tacitly accepted such criticism, so he ran away in anger.

Pierce was not much better. After handing Xu Lai the investiture book written and stamped by Earl Aini himself, with the signatures of the Crimson Archbishop of the Temple, the Ranger of the Wall, and the Grand Mage of the Tower, and the seal, he said:

"I am busy dealing with the affairs of my brothers today. The tradition of our Temple Knights is cremation. The undead covet us Temple Knights the most, besides the bones of the dragon.

The ashes of the brothers have been collected. If you are free tomorrow, come and see them off for the last time."

At this time of war, it is definitely impossible to hold a memorial service. Now it is about to enter the hottest July and August. Unless the body is protected by magic, it will not last long.

At this time, of course, precious mana will not be used for this, so Pierce hastily cremated his knights, otherwise once a new battle starts, his comrades will have to find a random place to bury them.

If he dealt with it now, he could still hold a small memorial ceremony for these sacrificed comrades within the Temple Knights.

Xu Lai could not refuse such a thing, so he touched his chest and bowed solemnly, saying: "I will definitely attend on time tomorrow."

Pierce shook Xu Lai's hand and said no more. Before leaving, he said to Xu Lai: "Thank you, and be sure to wear the medal well."

[Honorary Knight Medal of the God of War]: Bound equipment, bound person: Xu Lai.

After wearing this medal, you will automatically enjoy the basic treatment of the Temple Knights.

Gaze of the God of War: After wearing this medal, the medal wearer is immune to any form of mental spells and eliminates all gazes other than the God of War. (Cannot be divined, cannot be predicted, and cannot be gazed at by the gods)

After seeing the attributes of this equipment, Xu Lai finally knew why Ryan and Pierce reminded him one after another.

Xu Lai did not just pick up this medal. He clearly remembered that before he took the oath, the name of this medal was still "Honorary Knight Medal of the Temple".

Unexpectedly, after the oath, the medal changed two words directly.

And these two words made the medal, which was only symbolic before, become extremely important.

‘The gaze of the God of War means that only you can see it, and others can’t even look at it. ’

After complaining about himself, Xu Lai quickly hung the medal on the chest of the magical armor.

Immune to mental spells is still secondary. It is better to be seen by one god than by a group of gods, although other gods in other camps may not notice him as a pawn.

Just as Xu Lai and others took the oath, in the silent Stone Castle, a tall but somewhat thin orc leisurely walked in this human building.

Strangely, no one, whether it was the patrolling soldiers or the refugees who were temporarily homeless and could only find a stone wall to lean on, noticed the enemy so close.

The orc walked slowly to the newly built fortress. The tall wall did not stop the orc. He stepped on the wind and easily climbed over the wall without alarming any guards in the fortress.

However, after climbing over the wall, the orc did not act recklessly. Although he did not understand magic, he was very sensitive to magic and could feel the powerful magic element in the fortress.

There must be countless magic traps arranged inside, and even if he had amazing perception, he might not be able to see through them all.

Fortunately, at this time, a person came out from the dark corner, and his figure was obviously human.

In the darkness, the orc spoke first: "You actually dared to come out. Do you know how many orc warriors your wrong information killed?"
