Chapter 104 Rest Time (Sixteen)

Their plan was interrupted by a sudden notification. After changing clothes, they were going to see the wonders of the city. Ji Lin followed Alicia and was repeatedly reminded by her to be careful about his words and deeds on the way.

But it was okay. Ji Lin had not seen the central church yet. This magnificent church could accommodate five people for gatherings in the entrance hall alone. From the outside, it was a veritable... mountain.

They separated in front of the temple. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the Pope's office area. For an outsider like him to enter the hall, it was considered to be Alicia's face to give Ji Lin, an outsider, a short stay here.

"Sorry, Ji Lin, can you help me get one? I don't know how long it will take." The priest girl nodded to him: "If you are bored, I have the Code of Discipline, you should be interested."

In this way, Alicia's personal belongings were handed over to him for safekeeping.

A small child, and her Code of Discipline.

The Code of Discipline has a total of thirteen volumes, which is a very thick book. In addition to those complicated words and terms that make people painful to read, it contains a lot of the most basic divine arts theory, and Alicia's notes and records on the pages, all of which are focused on the analysis of divine arts theory.

These beautiful handwritings are sometimes left on the pages of the book, and sometimes a piece of paper is inserted to save the words. From the handwriting, it can be seen that the author of this book is extremely serious.

Before this, he rarely, even in his previous life, had contact with these sects.

Until he flipped through this book, the book that Alicia left for him.

The model was engraved with precise and delicate lines. On the back of the same page, except for those mixed with some incomprehensible nouns, there were few references to gods. The underlying operating principles of divine arts were explained to the readers in detail, as if it was coldly and emotionlessly stating a fact to everyone who got the book.

The system was built with no omissions, and gods were only one part of this system.

It was so scientific that it made people feel terrified.

Ji Lin moved his eyes away from the pages of the book and fell on the central hall full of priests walking around. It was magnificent and solemn. Priests of different races gathered here, and many people also exchanged trivial matters in life.

For example, promotion and workplace, the most discussed was the Holy Day Celebration five days later.

He quickly browsed, extracted the necessary information, and excluded the unnecessary information. He read very quickly.

‘Do not understand the origin, do not touch the stars. ’

‘Follow this commandment, and you will live forever. ’

This is the last chapter of the commandment code, and it ends here. After quickly reading the whole book, it was not like what he remembered that the Church of Light could tell, but this city, no, all the members of the Church of Light regarded it as an unquestionable truth.

Commandment.

Or...

Law.

In the previous life, these were all core secrets of various sects, and it was difficult for leaders to access the content. Even if they knew it, very few people would want to sell this information for a good price.

Ji Lin had never come into contact with any of these related contents in his previous life.

There were priests everywhere here. He took a step and found an ordinary priest walking leisurely in the hall.

"Sorry to bother you, can I see your...code of commandments?"

The other party looked at his clothes, and then looked at the obviously thicker code of commandments in his hand, and didn't understand why the other party wanted to see his code of commandments.

But the priest didn't have any other opinions. He nodded, forced a simple smile, and handed the code of commandments on his body to Ji Lin.

"Of course, I'm happy to help you."

Sure enough, unlike the code of commandments in Alicia's hand, the code of commandments in the hand of this ordinary priest also has thirteen volumes, and the description of divine arts is even simpler, just like those math teachers who only want to tell you how to apply the method to solve the problem directly in math class without explaining it in depth.

You can still understand the process without explanation, but the more you explain, the more you listen, the less you understand.

"Thank you very much."

After confirming the difference between the two books, Ji Lin returned the book to the priest.

He turned the book of Alicia's commandments to the most basic first-level divine art page, and began to build the divine art circuit according to the steps described above...

Replace the step of praying to the gods, and then.

The flames rose.

The white flames were fleeting, and no one noticed that someone in this small corner released a divine art with a spell that did not belong to the gods.

What Ji Lin didn't know was that under normal circumstances, it would be very likely to fail to connect different frequency energy to the magic array so roughly. This small divine art would not cause serious consequences such as death, and the success rate was also very low. Even if it succeeded by chance, it would be extremely difficult to stabilize it.

After the improvement, it can continue to be used in various structures that adapt to itself, and obtain an efficient, safe and stable structure. This is the development path of magic.

It’s just that the adaptive frequency of the source potential can help it access all forms of magic arrays, replace the original maintenance source, and connect seamlessly. However, this unmodified adaptive model will burn all the source stored by Ji Lin.

With the universal interface of source, the cost of improving the model is easier than that of ordinary leaders.

This is also the reason why he wants to awaken on the path of blood purity. It leads to all roads and will become more powerful over time.

Further enhance the upper limit of the highly compatible human group.

I just don't know what Alicia is doing now...

————————

"Alicia?"

"Crown, I'm here."

Alicia saluted the Pope solemnly.

"Sorry, I'm old, and I want to take a break when I'm tired."

The old Pope in his casual clothes looked more like an ordinary person, a kind old man. He sat peacefully on his red chair, and his crown was placed on the table in a glass cabinet, revealing a colorful luster in the sunlight.

Even though he was 160 years old, he still looked energetic, and there was no sign of fatigue.

"Crown, are you going to choose a successor?"

Alicia asked.

The old pope shook her head gently, looking at her best student, she realized what she was going to say almost instantly.

"No, I didn't choose a successor."

"Mian, you are modest."

Alicia said.

"This is not modesty, I am stating a fact, Alicia."

The old pope opened his eyes and looked at Alicia quietly, a cold and solemn aura spread from him, just looking at him made people breathless, it was hard to tell whether this pressure came from the old pope himself or from the fact he was about to tell.

Alicia stood quietly, looking at her teacher, without showing any other emotions.

In her memory, the Pope was kind and gentle, but now his appearance may be the true appearance of the once high-spirited Pope, a person in power.

"Sorry, child... I don't have much time."

I am not 100% sure that I can handle the coming shocks for Tran, I am too old.

The old Pope sighed, rarely showing his true emotions, and said slowly.

"I have witnessed the ups and downs of Tran in the past hundred years... But this city is actually no different from when I took over it."

Streets, houses, industries, only people change in time.

And his duty is to keep Tran unchanged in the eternal change.

And you, Alicia, what about you?

"Do you want to be the Pope?"

"I...I don't know."

As long as she agrees, Alicia has no doubt that she will become a Pope. This is one of the most honorable professions in the world. Her teacher never deceives her with lies, but until now she still doesn't know what the Pope's responsibilities mean.

Rights and obligations are always equal, the old Pope has told her countless times.

It's not the responsibilities of managing the diocese and unifying the church as described in history books...but the real responsibilities that she sniffed out from countless history books, with deviations and plots, and pieced together.

History books only describe rights, and those obligations are too light for this position, which is different from the information she got from her teacher.

"Alicia, you have always been a very smart child. Maybe it will be my turn to call you a crown in a while."

The old pope did not ask her for the answer, but just smiled and stopped the topic, and then threw out another question.

"Alicia, do you think the truth will hurt others?"

Alicia did not give her own answer.

The old pope restrained his breath again, becoming gentle and kind.

They then talked a lot about why Alicia did not wear the priest's uniform today, the outsider, the recent new pastries, and how to hold the holy day celebration.

And Alicia and the pope both understood that the most critical issue had ended, and their communication now was simply to relax in language and stroll on the beach of time.
