Chapter 239: The chosen by the gods

Chapter 239: The Chosen by Gods
The chief elder of the Roland Temple Presbyterian Church, he has a very legendary name: Prometheus!
This name is the same as the who bestows fire on humans in myths and legends.
In reality, the chief elder of the Roland Temple, his own experience is also full of legendary colors!
Prometheus was born in a noble family, but because he was an illegitimate child, he could not be recognized by the family! He has believed in the religion since he was a child. Because of his poor life, he entered the religious monastery in a city in the Sauron Kingdom at the age of seven and became a little monk.
After that, Prometheus immediately showed his extraordinary genius!
After two years of practicing in the monastery, the nine-year-old Prometheus was selected in the selection of the temple that year, obtained the qualifications to enter the temple, and became one of the many practitioners in the temple!
It is worth mentioning that after a period of time, Prometheus was trained as a warrior, and he was once regarded by a paladin from the old generation of the temple who had retired from the temple and became one of his disciples. One!
At the age of fourteen, Prometheus received the knighthood of the Holy Knights and became a member of the Holy Knights, the strongest army to defend the temple! Then, there was a rebellion in the Kingdom of Gordon in the Roland continent. The reason for the rebellion was that the old king did not have time to appoint the next heir after his death, and the three sons of the king began an endless civil war!
In order to maintain peace, the Holy Knights were ordered to quell the civil strife in the Kingdom of Gordon.
The fifteen-year-old Prometheus participated in the war. He was awarded a Medal of Honor for his outstanding performance in the war. In the subsequent war, he performed outstandingly in a raid and personally killed a public call for rebellion. One of the three sons of the old king of the temple.
Because of this great contribution, he was promoted to the captain of a Holy Knights, and Prometheus, who was only sixteen years old, became a third-level knight of the Holy Knights!
At that time, he was also the youngest third-level knight in the entire Holy Knights!
After that, the development completely changed.
Originally, if it were to develop on a normal trajectory, the genius Prometheus would probably go back and continue to receive the teachings of the old paladin. His future would be limitless. People even think that this genius young man, In the future, he may become another Paladin.
But Prometheus said that he decided to quit the Holy Knights, give up his knighthood, and become a practitioner again.
Two years later, there was a drought in the Kingdom of Gordon, and there was no drop of rain for ten consecutive months.
Prometheus made a move that everyone ridiculed. He actually set off from the temple alone, then smashed his head ten steps towards the king's capital of the Kingdom of Gordon, praying devoutly to the gods along the way. And such a journey is undoubtedly extremely long.
At that time, everyone laughed at the seventeen-year-old Prometheus, thinking he was crazy! Even the elders of the temple, the big people with high magic power are helpless, but he naively thinks that a small and insignificant young practitioner can move heaven.
The long prayer journey from the temple is extremely difficult. At the beginning, people can see this young man covered in dust, carrying a heavy bag and walking in the direction of Gordon’s Kingdom, kowtow with ten steps, how many times he passed out. To the side of the road.
With the passage of time, no one laughed at him. After all, such a behavior, even if it is a lunatic, is completely respectable!
Starting from the temple, such a slow prayer journey lasted for two full months before reaching the royal capital of Gordon Kingdom!
These two months have undoubtedly won countless people's hearts for Prometheus! And the admiration of countless people!
And something more magical happened! When he reached King Gordon’s capital all thousands of miles away, when he stepped into the gate of the capital city, the originally hot clear sky was instantly covered with clouds and pouring rain! !
Since then, the name of Prometheus spread throughout the Roland continent! People even call him "the one chosen by the gods"! !
At the age of twenty-four, a plague broke out in the Teutonic Kingdom, and Prometheus went to the Teutonic Kingdom as a practitioner following the people of the temple. In the plague that year, countless priests and priests died of illness, and Prometheus overstretched too much magic power because of the transitional cast of healing magic, and as a result, he caused huge damage to his body His right eye is blind forever!
Such an experience also left him a legendary nickname "One-eyed Saint" in the Teutonic Kingdom!
After that, the 24-year-old Prometheus was selected as a disciple by an elder of the Temple Presbyterian Church.
At the ten-year debate meeting in the temple, Prometheus once again became the focus. He actually distinguished that an ancient dossier that had been kept for nearly a hundred years was a fake. And just after the debate, the thirty-four-year-old Prometheus became his teacher, the heir appointed by the elder of the Presbyterian Church!
After ten years of waiting, Prometheus, 44, became an elder of the Presbyterian Church! At the same time, he is also the youngest elder in the temple!
From any angle, such a personal experience is full of legends.
But Prometheus has achieved this legend to the extreme!
After he became a practitioner again after leaving the holy knights, he spent almost all of his time practicing. In the twelve months of the year, he shut himself down for almost eleven months. No one knows what kind of state his practice has reached.
"Wait..." Hearing this, Roddy frowned and interrupted Miao Si: "You mean, he is probably a magician stronger than you?"
Miaosi shook her head: "No, I didn't mean that. The practice of temple practitioners is not pure magic practice. The practice of practitioners mainly revolves around the study of theology, and the study of life, gods, and their own thoughts. Shallow repair!"
"What happened later?"
Mya sighed: "Later..."
From any point of view, Prometheus is the most hard-working of the many practitioners in the temple, even after he became an elder and a member of the Presbyterian Church!
On weekdays, everyone basically can't see this serious-faced young elder. He will only show up at major events in the temple.
But then, Prometheus began to accept disciples. He accepted three disciples in total, and each of those three disciples later achieved great success!
All three of his disciples chose the path of becoming a magician and practiced. After that, all of them received extremely high evaluations in the selection. In the end, all three of his disciples deservedly became the "sages" in the temple! He was assigned to the various kingdoms in the Roland Continent and took charge of the religious rights of one party!
Miao Si suddenly smiled and said: "When I was young, I used to worship Prometheus as my own idol. At that time, my only wish was to be selected by him as his disciple one day. It's just a pity. Later he announced that he was no longer accepting disciples, and I was completely desperate."
"No more disciples?" Roddy frowned: "Why?"
Mya sighed: "It is said that he was to study theology with great concentration, and announced that he was afraid that teaching would be distracted. His long-term practice behind closed doors finally wrote a "Gospel of Prometheus". After a joint appraisal by the Presbyterian Church, it was later included in the religious canon! It was the only work included in the religious canon in the past two hundred years!"
Roddy couldn't help sighing: "So, this man is really amazing! It seems that he can do everything! Knight! Practitioner, philosopher, excellent teacher..."
Miao Si hesitated for a moment, and added: "Politicians are included!"
"politician?"
"Yes!" Miao Si sighed, her tone becoming serious again...
The temple elders at that time were divided into two factions. One group is called the "Asceticism", advocating that people's desires should be restrained and selfless asceticism—and Prometheus is regarded as the representative of this group.
The other faction was called the "cloud" faction. The view of this school is that people living in this world should be at ease with the situation. Any life and destiny are arranged by the gods. There is no need to deliberately do anything. As long as you follow the arrangements of fate, you are in line with the gods. Original intention!
Later, at a ten-year debate meeting, Prometheus retorted the elders represented by the "cloud" faction in a speechless manner, and the "cloud" faction was defeated that year.
"It doesn't seem to matter, it's just a victory of a debate." Roddy frowned.
Miaosi smiled faintly: "This may be nothing, but then, the leader of the cloud faction, representing the elder, actually committed suicide behind closed doors because of his shameful failure in the debate! If it weren't for the smell of the body, it was discovered..."
"Suicide?" Roddy sneered: "Is it really suicide?"
Mya nodded: "I understand what you mean, but it was indeed a suicide! It was not directly related to Prometheus. The temple had investigated the matter for a long time, and since the debate was over, Prometheus himself I went to practice behind closed doors, and didn't step out of the room!"
"and then?"
Miaosi smiled bitterly: "Then the matter is worth thinking about! One of the'cloud' sent elders of the Presbyterian Church died, and immediately selected a person from the saints to add in... Guess who selected it?
Roddy's eyes lit up: "Is it a disciple of Prometheus?"
Miaosi sighed: "Yes! It is one of his disciples!"
Roddy frowned and said, "Let Prometheus's disciples into the Presbyterian Church, will the people of the'Cloud' faction agree?"
Miaosi said indifferently: "Yes! Because that disciple of Prometheus actually believes in the'Cloud' school! Years ago, he was already a'cloud' school disciple! And Prometheus proposed The suggestion is: let his disciple enter the presbytery, and the vacancy of the saint should be filled by the people of the'yun' faction! Of course, the'yun' faction agreed to such a condition!"
Roddy opened his mouth in surprise, and after a while, he let out a long sigh: "Gao! I thought of this step a long time ago, and let his disciples believe in the'cloud' school many years ago!!"
Nodded wonderfully, and said quietly: "Then, the saint who was added to the Presbyterian Church, relying on his powerful strength, gradually disintegrated the'Cloud' faction, and the later'Cloud' faction was almost weakened, and could no longer be with The "ascetics" confronted, and gradually lost their authority. They became a foil in the presbytery."
After that, the authority of Prometheus in the Presbyterian Church reached its peak, and the army of the temple, the Holy Knights, also tended to Prometheus!
Because Prometheus himself was once a member of the Holy Knights, and was once a disciple of an old Paladin. His comrades and brothers were almost all over the entire Holy Knights! As for his former knighthood, it was easier to win the favor of the Holy Knights. Compared with the other elders, the Holy Knights naturally supported him more!
Speaking of this, Miao Si suddenly frowned and said: "There is also Fielding! Fielding in the temple...likes me very much..."
Roddy said in a deep voice: "So, in order to win the Paladin Fielding, Prometheus deliberately attracted you and him?"
Mya sighed: "My teacher is also an elder of the'asceticism'. It was Prometheus who recommended me to become the teacher's disciple."
Miaosi slowly finished telling the legend of the chief elder of the Presbyterian Church. Roddy was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh and sighing: "Awesome! It's really amazing! That's it! Over the decades, slowly cannibalizing, actually spreading his own power in the temple of Roland Continent... This Prometheus is too terrible... Could it be that he started planning all this from a very early time Is it?"
Miaosi smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I even suspect that he had already begun planning when he gave up his knighthood and turned to a practitioner." At this point, she suddenly said in a strange tone: "You know Pu Who is the person Lomihus admires most?"
Before Roddy could answer, Myss had already said the answer herself: "It's Moses! The first and only pope in the history of the religion! Moses!"
Roddy couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Now it seems that he is about to approach his idol-this Prometheus, it seems likely to become the second Pope in the history of the religion!"
In Roddy’s eyes, a confused look flashed, and he said lightly: "Miaosi, do you know? The paladin tonight is not here to kill me, but to tell me a word: Prometheus Si, he wants to see me! He told me: In this world, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies!" At this point, Roddy smiled bitterly: "Prometheus, he is really The person chosen by the gods'? Humph..."
