Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 265 Praise
Sure enough, after Lin Ran beat the man, the knight's attitude improved. Although the people in the Knights' Hall were very unhappy, they had to hold it in. They could only arrange accommodation for a few people.

The Temple Mother seems to be busy now, so she will have to wait a few days before she can help them complete the Ceremony of the Divine Seal.

The Knights told them not to run around, but at night Lin Ran received a note from a knight.

Lin Ran opened it and found that it was a message from Asharuya. Asharuya asked him to meet her, but why did she use a note?

Isn't it good to send a message?

After reading it, Lin Ran summoned the Dark Wolf to lead him forward in the shadows.

Soon he arrived at Asharuya's palace.

As soon as he reached the door, a woman who looked a little older looked at Lin Ran and said, "The Saint is waiting for you..."

"Oh oh oh." Lin Ran nodded.

Soon he met Asharuya, who was sitting on a high seat at this time. She looked at Lin Ran with a condescending look and said, "I heard that you beat Hailong?"

"Who told him to be disrespectful? Normally, your Palace Mother should have come to greet Pang Lai in person, but she didn't come. It doesn't matter if she didn't come. Why are you, a knight, so arrogant?" Lin Ran walked in front of Asharuya, then reached out and pinched Asharuya's chin.

Lin Ran's fingers gently stroked Asharuya's lips.

Asharuya smiled and said, "Why do you want to come here?"

Lin Ran looked around and said, "No, it feels very dangerous."

"Don't worry, everyone has been driven away. No one can come in while she is outside." Asharuya said.

Lin Ran: “…”

When Lin Ran hesitated, Asharuya asked: "Are you still a man?"

Damn, Lin Ran no longer hesitated.

……

"Fuck, could you please keep your voice down a bit? I can hear the echo."

"Shut up and pay attention."

……

The Temple Mother came on the fourth day and took them out of the city of Athens and arrived at a mountain next to the Mediterranean Sea, where they were going to hold a ceremony to praise the divine seal.

At first everyone thought that this would be a grand occasion and that countless people would look up at them, but they did not expect to arrive at a very remote place. Although this mountain was built to be as beautiful as a villa and one could see the Mediterranean Sea, it was a bit disappointing for many people who needed fame.

"After the God's Seal Ceremony is completed, you need to meditate for a month. During this time, you cannot use magic frequently. The best thing is to keep meditating all the time, so that you can fully absorb the God's Seal Ceremony." Feng Li instructed everyone very solemnly.

The temple mother was a woman whose age could not be determined. She was dignified and gentle, but she did not speak to the crowd. From beginning to end, a female sage named Tisu was the only one who spoke.

The Divine Seal Praise was performed one after another. The first one was Lin Ran. After all, Lin Ran was the strongest. It was said that the first person to receive the Divine Seal Praise would often have a higher growth rate.

……

On the altar of praise, the Temple Mother stood quietly under a sky-asking tree. The sunlight was like strands of golden silk, draped over the body of the Temple Mother. The Temple Mother, who was whispering softly, was now emitting a holy glow all over her body, and her whispers were like a song, echoing over and over again in the mountains.

The Palace Mother waved at Lin Ran, motioning him to go forward.

Lin Ran walked up, and the female sage beside him whispered to Lin Ran that he should kneel down.

The slight smile on Lin Ran's lips made people feel like he was mocking him.

The Palace Mother indicated that it was not necessary.

Then she placed her palm gently on Lin Ran's forehead. The whispering sound seemed to have reached the most important moment. Her speech speed became faster and faster. Lin Ran, who closed his eyes, felt that there were countless sacred musical instruments beating beside him, which made the distracting thoughts in his mind disappear quickly.

Just like when he first awakened, Lin Ran felt a holy light suddenly lighting up in his spiritual universe. These lights enveloped all his stars, as if to melt them.

"Concentrate and focus your mind on the part you want to be blessed by." The female sage at the side reminded hurriedly, but her tone was not very friendly. It seemed that she was very dissatisfied with Lin Ran's refusal to kneel.

The Divine Seal Praise can only enhance one system at a time. Lin Ran had already figured it out that the fire system is the strongest, so he concentrated on his own fire system to enhance the basic power of his fire system.

After a while, all the light was concentrated on the fire system. The entire fire system was glowing with a mysterious halo, and all the stars were also dyed with this light.

At first, these lights were sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and even disappeared, but gradually they were completely integrated into the space, like a brand, and became solid.

The vast majority of blessing magic, as well as the power enhancements of some magic tools and magic weapons are only temporary, but this kind of divine seal and praise is directly imprinted into the magic galaxy, which is similar to strengthening the entire fire system.

Divine Seal's Praise is a magic that permanently enhances the magician's basic power of this system. It does not overlap with other blessing-type enhanced magic, amplified magic tools, magic tools, elemental species, etc. This is what makes Divine Seal's Praise the most coveted by magicians!

The blessing process is very slow. After all, it takes time to imprint a permanent blessing mark in the magician's spiritual universe. It can't be completed in an instant. And it can also be seen that the magic loss is very large...

After a long time, the ceremony of praising the divine seal was officially completed. At this time, the Temple Mother had a smile on her face, but still did not say a word to Lin Ran.

"The divine seal is now in your magic system. Although the Temple Mother has helped you consolidate it, you still need a month to solidify it. A little loss is inevitable. Only meditation can reduce the loss of the divine seal's energy. So for the next month, you must completely retreat. I will also stay here to supervise you." said the female sage Tisu.

Lin Ran wanted to ask something more, but he immediately felt the divine seal rapidly disappearing from his own fire galaxy.

Lin Ran didn't dare to say any more nonsense, and hurriedly ran to his own meditation room to start consolidating this rare divine power.

The Temple Mother rested for a long time before she began to pay tribute to Mo Fan with the Divine Seal...

The entire God Seal Ceremony lasted about two days. After performing all the God Seal techniques, the Temple Mother herself was very haggard. She even rested for a day in the Ceremony Mountain before slowly returning to the Parthenon.

The female sage Tisu stayed here to supervise, and the golden knight Hasher was also here to protect them. Pang Lai had left very early, so the instructor Feng Li naturally had to stay here to prevent any accidents from happening to the students.

The students have their own independent meditation rooms. Even if they like to play, they know very well how rare this Divine Seal Ceremony is, so they have to grit their teeth and persevere for this month no matter what. After a month, their strength will be far ahead of their peers.

…Lin Ran had just started his retreat when he heard a familiar voice.

"Do you need my help? I can help you become completely stable with three times the Divine Seal Praise." Asharuya looked down at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran said, "What do you want to do?"

Asharuya said, "You must listen to me completely in the next few days."

Lin Ran nodded.

"Then close your eyes and I will help you consolidate." Asharuya said.

……

The Flying Flowers Festival is a traditional festival on the Parthenon Hill, but it has unknowingly become one of the most famous celebrations in Greece.

After the Flying Flowers Festival, the delicate honey-tea-colored petals and emerald-blue leaves planted on the sacred mountain will be blown by the seasonal wind from the Mediterranean Sea. They linger on the top and hillside of the sacred mountain, and then they slowly fly into the Acropolis, courtyards, streets and alleys like a colorful guard of honor, making the whole city breathtakingly embellished with this beauty!
This festival will also gather all the Parthenon believers from all over the world, making the usually quiet Acropolis of Athens gradually become lively. People will wait at the foot of the mountain from the night before, hoping to be the first to enter the Hall of Faith, listen to the blessings of the old sage, and then tell their own expectations...

“Alas, I didn’t expect that someone would get ahead of me. I thought I could at least be ranked in the top 1,000, but looking at the people in front of me, they have all reached the 1,000-person ladder…” said an elderly man over 50 years old with a sigh.

"There are always people who are more sincere than us. Hey, wait a minute, what's wrong with the person in front? It looks like something happened." An old woman stood on tiptoe, looking at the person in front.

The heads of people in the team in front were swaying, but behind them there was a huge crowd, completely blocking the road. The people in the front seemed to have heard some bad news and were howling here.

"Go back, go back, the sacred mountain is closed!"

"Closed the mountain? Are you kidding? We have come from far away and even started waiting here since last night." Someone shouted.

"We have already issued the order. If you are dissatisfied, go and talk to the Faith Mages."

"No way, why would they close the mountain when everything is fine?"

"Who knows, maybe something big happened... I can only hope that I can come in the next two days."

"Let's go, let's go... Wow, why are there so many people behind us, how can we get out?"

The huge waiting line moved very slowly. Those who knew about the closure wanted to leave, but they could only turn around and could not move any further.

Fortunately, the order of the Parthenon has always been guided by the government, so even if there are a lot of people, there will be no trouble. Gradually, the large team began to disperse slowly back to the city.

However, there are still many people who cannot understand why the Parthenon was suddenly closed. The Flying Flowers Festival is a very important festival and it would be impossible to close without a major incident. However, there has been no news about the Parthenon, so there is no point in making too many suspicions.

……

There was a slight pain in the head, which lasted for a long time. Xinxia didn't know why her body was so weak. Even though she was already a mage, she always felt like she had no strength. This feeling usually appeared after waking up.

She slowly opened her eyes and found that she was not on the bed, but sitting in a wheelchair. Xinxia then remembered that she was too engrossed in reading last night, so she fell asleep in the wheelchair in a daze.

Suddenly, a slightly pungent smell came in, and she woke up in an instant, her eyes wide open, and then she found herself surrounded by a large group of people. They all looked at her with disbelief, as if they were looking at a monster with caution!

"What you said really makes us feel disheartened." The Palace Mother sighed.

"You are so vicious. Is human life so worthless in your eyes? Is this how you eliminate the enemies on your way to becoming the Goddess?" The great sage Cynthia stared at Ye Xinxia and scolded her angrily.

"Sure enough, she has the devil's blood flowing in her body!"

Xinxia looked at everyone and found that almost all the high-ranking officials of the Parthenon were here.

Her eyes were calm, and she didn't understand why she could remain calm in the face of this unfounded situation. It seemed that the long dream she had had made her a person who could remain expressionless no matter what happened.

She slowly lowered her head, then took a look at the smell that came to her nose.

Sure enough, it was the smell of blood.

She found that her hands, sleeves, and skirt were all stained with bright red blood. A very familiar person was lying in front of her. She widened her eyes and looked at Ye Xinxia in disbelief. The woman was already dead, but she was still staring at Ye Xinxia.

"I...I killed her?" Xinxia muttered to herself.

For some reason, she felt that she had killed him, but she didn't even know why she did it. She also searched for a little bit of memory that she had done it herself in her extremely vague memory.

"Have you forgotten what you did with your own hands?" Hailong said angrily at this time.

"Panica?" Xinxia knew that person's face. She was clearly Panica, the most merciful and kindhearted saint!
Xinxia couldn't help but take a deep breath. She still needed some time to figure out what was happening.

"It was Panicia who paid the price of her life to see through your disguise, and successfully saved our Parthenon from a disaster!"

“I didn’t expect this election to be so disastrous.”

Asharuya was in the crowd at the moment, and she was carefully protected by several Golden Knights.

Asharuya then slowly walked forward a little, and then looked at Xinxia.

Xinxia also looked up at her at this time and asked, "Is this your masterpiece? Thank you so much for considering me as your competitor."

Asharuya shook her head and said, "I'm not interested in these, but I want to ask, are you Ye Xinxia?"

Xinxia was a little confused.

Asharuya continued, "It seems that you have never known that you have another identity."

Xinxia looked at her calmly, totally not understanding what Asharuya was talking about.

"It seems that you really don't know. This soul of yours is innocent, but your other soul is unforgivable!" Asharuya suddenly said coldly.
