omniscient god

A bleak autumn rain fell quietly, and the world of Elland speeded up the pace of entering winter.

King Rosenbel died suddenly, and the capital was put on high alert.The gates of the city are closed, and no one can freely enter or leave without the permission of the church.

The caravan was miserable for a while, and most of them wandered outside the city. The horseshoes stepped on the puddles and splashed water. Pedestrians wore raincoats and pulled water-proof cloths on the trucks.All the people who came to visit the Wannian Ceremony were confined within the city, and the Guangming Church investigated suspicious persons one by one.

A transparent magic barrier was set up in the airspace of the capital, covering the entire city.According to the Knights, this barrier personally arranged by the pope can completely isolate the invasion of foreign races.

The impenetrable barrier soothed the fearful hearts of the people.

They also have the great Pope Innocent!The goddess bless the human race!

Everyone prayed secretly, put their hands together, and stood still in the rain.

Even the Goddess cried for this tragic farce, the hateful machines, they will be punished by God.

Interrogation room of the Church of Light.

There was a long drizzle outside the window, and He Le finished smoking a cigarette amidst the rhythm of the rain hitting the window sill, then took another cigarette out of his pocket, and silently lit it.

This is the last of the half-pack of cigarettes.When he came to this world, the only remaining and only valuable personal belongings were wasted by him in one go.

In fact, he doesn't have much addiction to smoking. To him, smoking is just a condiment that can temporarily escape from reality when he is in a bad mood.When you smoke, let go of your mind and think about nothing.

Those troubled, sad, and entangled pasts can all be left behind, and after the smoking is over, in just a few minutes, he muster up the courage to face reality and continue to live.But at this moment, he really hoped that the blank time in his mind could last longer, he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to think about that person.

If nothing changed, it would be the same as before.

Never what if.

After the event of the Wannian Ceremony Dinner, Wangdu Academy of Magic, which recruited thirteen students, was punished.It's incredible that someone with no elemental attractiveness could pass the academy test.On that day, Ofir's examiner came forward to explain that Ofir had a perfect score in the written test and had used high-level space magic in actual combat, while the elemental attraction test was a single space element attribute.He must have used magic items, but no one knows how he escaped the examiners.

As Shisan's only friend, He Le was also implicated.At the banquet scene that night, he was captured by the guards of the Knights of Light and imprisoned in the interrogation room of the church.

The interrogation room was filled with pure white and holy light elements. They nestled affectionately around He Le, but because of He Le's low mood, they looked gloomy.

"Ophir" is just a temporary pseudonym. His adventurer status has been registered for less than half a year. He also rented the small tile-roofed house in Gelu Village from someone else. The neighbors said that he moved in only half a year ago.

It turned out that he had been hiding something from He Le, and He Le didn't know his true identity until the last moment of the dinner.

Is it all a lie?He's been using himself?

He Le invited him to the dinner and caused the king to be killed. He Le should also be jointly and severally responsible.

He held his head in pain.

He was deceived by the person he trusted the most...

He Le can calmly accept losing his job, being rejected on a blind date, quarreling with his family, and even dying... He can't accept Ofel's betrayal.He couldn't control it, and the images of the two months of being together kept appearing in his mind. They were poor, lived in a small shabby house, slept in the basement, ate bread and fruit every day, and ate meat rarely. They would be so happy that they wanted to laugh. They worked hard. Doing adventurous missions, being admitted to the Magic Academy, living a happy life, and having a pure vision for the future.

Are they all fake?

Perhaps Ofir's betrayal has long been foreshadowed, and there are too many weird puzzles hidden in him.It is unbelievable for a magic apprentice who has no elemental attraction to be admitted to the magic academy.He is proficient in all the knowledge of the world of Eland, and he can answer He Le's questions.He has been to the Demon Clan, and he has seen the fireworks of the Fallen Festival... May I ask which ordinary poor magician who grew up in a remote village can go to the Demon Clan?

He Le trusted him completely and never had the slightest doubt about him.Thinking of this, He Le couldn't help trembling his fingers, the soot broke and fell all over his body.

Someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room, and Harrison pushed the door open, holding a lunch in his hand.

The deputy head of the Knights of Light has often visited He Le since he was imprisoned in the interrogation room.He had played against He Le in the game before, but he followed the Pope's order to investigate He Le's special ability.

Poor He Le, facing the interrogation by the Knights, couldn't answer at all, he knew nothing about Shisan.This was the No. 40 hours when He Le was locked in the interrogation room. Every time Harrison came in, he would hold a straw-shaped thing in his mouth, and it smelled a bit like the kernel grass he was familiar with.

Harrison waved his hand expressionlessly, trying to dispel the smell of smoke, he put the dinner plate on the table, He Le saw him come in, and put out the cigarette.

"The sky has changed outside." Harrison said, "The signing of the peace treaty was broken by Thirteen, and the Ten Thousand Years Ceremony was also forcibly interrupted. The machine race took the opportunity to attack the towns and villages on the western border of the human race."

He Le raised his head and looked at him blankly when he heard the word "Thirteen".

"The nearby elves didn't help, and they watched the machine group's raid with a cold eye." Harrison sat on the chair opposite He Le and stretched, "...but they were also the main combat faction." He shrugged.

"What is the main combat faction?" He Le, who had been silently listening to Harrison's explanation, asked suddenly.

"Oh, don't you know?" Harrison was a little surprised, "The highest rights and interests in the world are in the hands of the race parliament. Before the appearance of Thirteen, there were twelve races. Human race councilors—that is, our Pope Innocent, In the last parliament, he advocated the signing of a peace treaty, and voted to decide whether to pass it. You know, there are now twelve races, so an interesting thing happened, and half of the members supported and opposed. Your Excellency single-handedly forced the signing of the peace treaty."

"That is to say, there are still races that oppose this treaty? It was only under the pressure of the human race that they were forced to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Ceremony?"

"Yeah." After a few more words, Harrison began to yawn again and again, "Okay, the time for chatting is over, I'm going back to take a lunch break. After you finish eating, put it at the door, and someone will clean it up." He lazily walked out of the interrogation room.

After Harrison left, He Le was not in the mood to eat, and was absent-minded while holding his chopsticks. Some of them couldn't figure out why half of the congressmen opposed the signing of the peace treaty.Isn't it good that there is no war and no casualties?Or is the concept not applicable to the Ellander world?As Thirteen said, it takes war to develop and become strong to save?

Thirteen... is it...

A code name.

He Le still couldn't let go, puzzled, he still had a lot of questions to be explained by that person himself.

By the time He Le finished his meal slowly, it was already afternoon.The priest guarding the gate told He Le that the Pope invited him to the Temple of Divine Grace.As a prisoner, He Le was not restricted from moving. He followed the young priest out of the interrogation room.

The autumn rain has not stopped, and the sky is still gray.They walked on the atrium corridor, and the clergy of the church were doing daily prayers in the chapel.Their declaration is sonorous and powerful, and it is about to be conveyed to the goddess, hoping that the goddess will bless the world out of the haze:

"Creation eagerly awaits the revealing of the sons of God!

A created being is subject to vanity, not because of its own will, but because of what made it so!

But the created beings still hope to escape from the bondage of corruption and enjoy the glory of the freedom of the children of God!

We know that all creation has groaned and labored together until now!

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. "(Note [-])

In the main hall, the Hall of Divine Favor, there are two rows of Templars standing on the left and right of the magnificent hall, and Harrison is at the head of the queue.Under the stained glass and the mural of the creation of the goddess, the pope is sitting in the middle, with liquid light elements flowing around him. The man embraced by the holy light is kind-eyed and tall and straight. He is the apex of the human race and the spokesperson of the goddess.

The current Pope Innocent III looks 27 years old, but he is actually more than 900 years old.There were two generations of popes before him. After he accepted the decree of the gods and became an envoy of the gods, time stopped passing, youth remained forever, and he was almost immortal.He inherited the title of Innocent III and led the human race towards unification.

"Sorry, child, I didn't intend to put you in the interrogation room, but I need to give the believers an explanation." The pope said, "You are free from now on." Generally amiable.

There was a slight commotion in the hall. It wasn't the pope's speech that surprised them, but the priests found that all the light elements, including those around the pope, were struggling to gather towards He Le.

The priests of the Church of Light are the people who know the light elements best in the Eland world. They have mastered the characteristics and habits of the light elements and can easily attract and use them.

The Pope obviously also noticed this, his pupils narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help sighing: "...you are indeed a child favored by the goddess."

"Sure enough?" The pope seemed to have known about the existence of a character like He Le.

"I heard from the principal that there was a special person among the freshmen, so he sent Harrison to lurk in the college competition..." He smiled and looked at the members of the Knights in the front row, "Harrison must have told you , but I didn't expect that you can attract elements just by standing in place, and you are even stronger than when we first met."

"It wasn't like this before." He Le didn't understand the reason, "I had to concentrate before I could summon the elements."

The pope nodded: "Maybe it has something to do with your mood. The elements are conscious. They love you and feel your depression. They cuddle up to you, which means they care about you. This is a gift from the goddess."

He Le is really in a bad mood recently, and he is also very confused.The appearance of Shisan led to chaos in the world, and also caused He Le to be confused and suspicious of himself.

Feeling his bewilderment, the Pope said, "Do you want to join the Knights of Light?"

He Le was stunned.

"You are a child favored by the goddess, and the elements fall in love with you, so it is only natural that you join the Knights."

The purpose of the Pope calling He Le to the Temple of Divine Grace today is to let him join the church.He Le, a lost lamb, needs to be guided by the goddess, and his special talents must serve the goddess.

If He Le was an ordinary person, he would happily agree.The Church of Light is the most sacred and greatest organization in the Eland world, and everyone wants to join it.But it is a pity that He Le is a time traveler. He is currently not interested in making a career in the Eland world. He has been working hard to make money. That is because he has to make a living and save his life before he can return to his original world.

And now he wants to find out why Thirteen lied to him.

"I can't decide yet." He didn't hide his hesitation, "I hope my lord will let me think about it..."

Does joining the church mean becoming an enemy of Thirteen?He dare not imagine.

"Okay, you can live in the church during this time, feel the atmosphere here, you will like it."
