Chapter 1137 (1/2)
”The old Sutra... How can you be interested in this thing?”
He raised his eyebrows and Isaac looked suspicious.
Weber, the little priest on the other side of the square table, looked at the black haired wizard inexplicably, and there was a trace of vigilance in his expression.
”What's the problem?” Lauren, who was stared at by the two for a long time, felt a little numb.
”Question... Er, is this enough?” Isaac scratched his head. ”It's just too unexpected. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the letter transcript of the old Sutra in the nine pointed star wizard tower, I probably wouldn't touch this thing in my life; after all...”
”That's the original Scripture. It's the proverb of the Holy Cross. Every sentence contains supernatural power beyond imagination!” before Isaac finished, little priest Weber couldn't help but rush: ”ordinary priests and priests are not qualified to read at all. Only bishops and core members of the church are allowed to contact.”
”It is only the Archbishop of each generation who knows the full text; this is not only because of its importance, but also because each of those letters contains the divine power of the Holy Cross; it is very difficult for ordinary people to understand its meaning, and it is impossible to know the full text!”
With that, the little priest couldn't help looking up at Isaac opposite his eyes - up to now, he couldn't believe that the wizard in front of him could remember the combination order of letters and words only by glancing at his eyes, and could read any text copied from the letters of the old Sutra without obstacles.
Many deacons of churches can write their names in the letters of the old Sutra at most in their life.
”Hardly once have I refused to help you, Loren, because we are friends, and because I believe you may really have a mission from the Holy Cross.” the little priest continued:
”But this time we are talking about the old Sutra. If there is no reason, I...”
”Come on, bishop, we are not here to hear your admonition and preach the gospel.”
The impatient waving of his hand interrupted the little priest. Isaac sighed, ”I have only two questions.”
”First, do you just want to know something about extracurricular reading on a whim, or do you have to master the old classics for a reason?”
”Second, how much will you have to master it - don't answer directly, tell me in a minute.”
The voice fell, and Isaac looked at Lauren calmly and seriously.
A minute later, the black haired wizard raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him without changing his face: ”I must master it, and... There may not be much time left for me to master it.”
”Pa!”
He clapped down the table, spread out his hands and took a deep breath.
”Then I think... We have nothing to ask.” Isaac, who became serious, seemed particularly persuasive: ”time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's hurry up!”
Weber, the little priest with a slight frown, opened his mouth several times, but finally stopped talking.
Yes, Isaac is right. There's nothing to ask.
Since we are friends and have absolute trust in each other, what else can we ask when friends need help?
When a friend fights for the Empire of the Holy Cross, he has little room to help himself. Is he reluctant to lend a helping hand even in such a small thing as he can do?
A heavy sense of guilt and shame spread in the little priest's heart; He greeted the black haired wizard's eyes and nodded solemnly.
Small tents and square tables became churches and classrooms at this moment.
”So... Students and teachers, the small class of the old classics has started!” Brandon, with a cheerful face, ”Dong Dong Dong!” knocked the table with his index finger joint, imitating the sound of mentor Dalton knocking on the blackboard in the past:
”The first is the first lesson, the basic teaching course in charge of tutor Isaac Grantham - today's topic is what is the old Sutra and... The basic spelling principle of the text of the old Sutra!”
Sitting at the other end of the table, the dark haired wizard and the little priest looked attentive.
”Then, classmate Loren Turin, please tell your mentor what the old Sutra is?”
”Me?”
”Yes, you -- don't ask nonsense like 'it's not your turn to tell me'. Speed up the progress. There's a quiz before class. Weber and I have to score!”
”Er...”
Looking at Isaac dancing on his face, Loren felt that his mind was full of black lines: ”the old Scripture is... The original Scripture, the proverb of the Holy Cross, and each sentence contains supernatural power beyond imagination...”
”No, no, no, no, no... That's the reference answer. I'm talking about your own understanding!” Isaac shook his head quickly. ”You have to find out the difference. This is very important - it does have the correct answer, but there are some differences in each of them according to different views. You must really understand it before we can go to the next step, okay?”
The excited Isaac danced and the little priest opposite nodded very seriously... Obviously, he also agreed with Isaac's point of view.
”Don't use any metaphor or analogy, don't learn from others' ideas, and make the most objective judgment you can make according to all the information you have collected so far about the Holy Cross and the old Scripture!”
The most objective judgment I can make... Lauren's expression is deep in thought.
So far, how many people and things have you come into contact with the old Sutra?
The ”sword of oath” and the unyielding ”shield of defense” - their power is the most intuitive display of the power of the old Sutra.
So... The old Sutra can give mortals who make vows the power to refuse death and even fight against evil gods;
However, this power does not directly come from the words on the old Sutra, because although not many church members have read the old Sutra, they should also be many; Moreover, even Isaac can learn and master it, which proves that there is no direct link between the old classics and this power.
Ancient Runes and magic arrays written and engraved on objects can give an object the power of emptiness and produce an effect matching the meaning expressed by runes; But the old Sutra will not.
On the ancient sakran cross sculpture I met on the way to the Dragon King City, I compiled and engraved words written in accordance with the letters of the old Sutra, which did not give any power to the stone.
