Chapter 285 Rejecting the responsibilities with the gods
There are people who truly cross the boundaries of life and death to revive the dead!
The words of Serena, the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, were not only stunned by Edward and Alphon Si, but even the priestess Elena was so surprised that she couldn't stop talking!
The soul of the dead leaves the body and returns to the sea of souls means absolute death. In this case, even the most powerful gods in the world cannot revive the dead. The most basic principles explained in the doctrines learned from childhood to adulthood are compared with those cults that have deceived the ignorant slogans such as eternal life, immortality, and reincarnation, and the Holy See where the only "Lord" in the world can be revived in the power of the God Kingdom. The Priestess Elena firmly believes that the correct principles are to explain the alternation of death in life in the doctrine of the Holy Capital. Otherwise, if all things can live forever and die, wouldn’t the whole world become a sea of people that can never settle down in the end!
But now the main priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess overthrew Elena's belief. This was not the main priest's rude statement, but the oracle of the main priest through the mouth of the gods, which made Elena feel confused for a moment!
"There was indeed an alien in this world who could break the boundary of life and death. However, it was not eternally unable to control its own life and death. It disappeared into the world a long time ago. Although so, it did exist!" Serena continued in a shocking manner, but everyone could not keep calm like the priest of the ice goddess.
The moon priest Grant interrupted and asked softly, "Master Priest Serena, is this the will of Goddess Aidorma?"
Serena nodded silently and said, "This is indeed the oracle that my God conveys to me. I am just the oracle that the goddess is conveying to you."
Hearing Serena say so affirmatively, the moon priest Grant had nothing to say. Although he was one of the three holy priests, Grant still knew very well that he was just a mortal after all. Although he was favored by the gods, he could never surpass the gods themselves. Even if the oracle had said the most secret information about the holy capital, Grant had no right to stop him.
The priest focused his eyes on the two brothers Edwards and said, "Edward, Alphonse! The alchemy power you have is a kind of power that I have never seen before. Even Goddess Aydoma cannot fully analyze the system of using this power. You are just as extraordinary as it used to be!"
"Why would anyone like us be who is the same extraordinary person?" Edward had a strong interest in the unknown person Serena mentioned. Maybe he might be someone who came from another world to this other world like himself.
Unfortunately, Serena shook her head and seemed to be unable to reveal more information about this to Edward: "There are too many people in this world who covet you. For this reason, I only convey to you the kindness of Goddess Aidorma. The goddess hopes that you can go to the Holy City to be protected by the Supreme God."
This time Serena sent an invitation to Edward and his brothers, but Serena, as the spokesperson of the gods, had already issued an invitation in the form of an oracle, which was more formal than the oral invitation of the moon priest Grant. Moreover, receiving the protection of the Supreme God is not just a blank statement, but the two brothers with this amulet may have a very high status in the Holy Capital.
However, all this was not important to Edward. Xiao Douzi shook her head and politely declined the invitation. Priestess Elena sighed regretfully. In Elena's opinion, the two children were young and probably didn't know what it meant to be invited by the oracle of the Ice and Snow Goddess. Thinking of this, Elena tried to persuade the two children, but when she saw the moon priest Grant gesture to her, Elena finally gave up her thoughts.
"Sorry~ Sister Serena, Al and I have their own intentions, and we have a clue about how to restore our bodies┉┉┉So please forgive us for not accepting your kindness." Edward said apologetically. Xiao Douzi didn't dare to look at Serena's expression, afraid that this strict priest would use the "petified gaze" that puts him under a lot of pressure!
Serena didn't say anything about Edward's polite refusal, but just replied lightly: "Everyone has his own choice, and there is no need to apologize to me."
Edward scratched his head with a smile, and raised his favor to the beautiful priest. Obviously, although Serena looked unspeakable and harsh, she was a person who respected others' wishes very much. As the spokesperson for the gods in the world, she really had an extraordinary mind and demeanor.
At this time, a knock on the door sounded, and with the permission of the moon priest Grant, a temple attendant walked in.
"Prince Grant, outside the temple, a lady named Miriah came to find two guests, Edward and Alphons, and seemed to have something very urgent."
Miria!! Edward rushed up from the chair with a whirlwind. He had left a note before saying that he was going to the temple to check information. Although Miria often warned himself not to have too many relationships with the temple, he did not really forcefully restrict his freedom and Al, not to mention that Miria would come to arrest people in person this time. I'm afraid ┉┉Mila is quite popular this time.
Wait┉┉ Maybe there might be something urgent! Edward thought about it with luck.
Since the parents have come to the door, this meeting will be over. Priestess Elena asked Tiya to send the two brothers out. Priestess Grant also walked out with the two brothers curiously. Grant wanted to see if this lady Miriya, like Edward and Alphons, was also an alchemist.
Grant met Ms. Miriya outside the door. Unlike the imagined old scholar who was a scholar, this Miriya was very tall and beautiful. Her decent armor and the huge two-handed sword on her back made her look heroic. The moon priest Grant couldn't help but glance at her twice, but she didn't see Miriya's strength. In Grant's opinion, Ms. Miriya was not very poor, so she could not feel any fluctuations in strength, or she was very good at hiding her strength.
When Miriya pulled the two brothers into the carriage and thanked the priest Grant, Serena, the main priest in the room, stared at Miriya and looked at it. Serena couldn't help but hold her hand tightly but soon let go. From her eyes, it could be seen that Serena seemed to be hesitating in her heart. It was not until the carriage carrying the three people left the sight that Serena left the window.
Just now, Serena always felt that the female warrior named Miria seemed to exude a trace of demonic aura belonging to the abyss, but she always felt that she was vague and could not be determined!
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
In the temple, in the prayer hall of the snow goddess Aidua, Serena, a white robe, was kneeling quietly in front of the statue of the goddess Aiduaa, praying devoutly. Her long silver hair, which stretched out from her waist, scattered onto the ground, just like the holy saint in the world, praying for all the beautiful things. This is a perfect and outstanding picture, even the most talented painter cannot describe it on the scroll.
The door of the prayer hall was slowly pushed open, and Serena was still praying quietly, not disturbed at all, and the visitor was quietly standing by waiting for the priest to complete his work.
After the prayer, Serena stood up and looked up at the goddess' sculpture and performed the final ritual: "I know you are confused about Priestess Elena."
"Yes, Lord Priest, I am really confused!"
Elena did not just explain her true thoughts in a simple way. The doctrine of the Holy Capital allows objections without anyone deliberately concealing the true thoughts in her heart. As long as it is not a malicious blasphemy, all issues can be raised and discussed: "The alternation of life and death is the norm of this world. The ethereal word eternity only appears in the doctrine of the five supreme gods to describe death, and even the supreme god is unwilling to use this word to decorate himself! Because of this, I have always believed that the doctrine of the Holy Capital is the most correct! But at this moment, there are people who can break eternity, so why?
"Why do you want to reveal this news!" The main priest of the Snow Goddess of Ice and Snow looked at Elena and sighed. The main priest walked to the window and looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky and comforted the priestess in a calm tone: "You are right, Priestess Elena, the alternation of life and death is the most basic principle of this world. Once the boundary between life and death is broken, it will bring unimaginable great disasters to the whole world."
"That is why the gods don't allow this kind of thing to happen, right?" Elena sighed.
"The relationship between gods and mortals is mutual demand and dependence, not domination and domination, nor is it charity or charity. The faith of mortals is the foundation of the existence of gods. In return, gods should strive to push the whole world forward! And those evil gods who do not hesitate to make up lies for their own rights and use force to eliminate unbelievers, intend to keep themselves complacent and freeze the whole world and no longer move forward, disappear in the river of time." Serena raised her head and stared at the goddess' sculpture, with a rare slight thrill in her tone: "Maintaining the normal order of the whole world is the responsibility of the gods. Any existence that tries to destroy this order and bring disaster to the whole world must be the object of being destroyed. It is precisely because of this that the power to break the boundary of life and death to resurrect the dead cannot continue to exist."
"┉┉┉┉┉” Elena was shocked and could not speak, silently staring at the main priest without saying a word.
