Chapter 22 Contact with the Candlestick's Blood
It's still version 1.0, "Phantom Candle Sky Division" has not yet come and been defeated, and the level limit of the path of dedication is only 49.The one with the highest rank is the eternal Pope of the Eternal Church.
Aiwass conservatively estimated that Bishop Mathers should have a minimum level of 39.
Putting it in Avalon is the top match level in the Arbitration Hall.One level higher is the top powerhouse in the current version of the world - if you make some bold estimates, Bishop Mathers is probably already the strongest man above level 40 who has come into contact with the power of the fifth energy level.
The Cardinal of the Eternal Church is nothing more than that.
But Aiwass thought about what his adoptive father said to him before leaving, and he became relieved.
This Bishop of Mathers is the Supreme Bishop of the Candlestick Cathedral.In other words, he is the top manager of the Nine Pillars Church in Avalon.
If this kind of strong man hadn't been directly hit and died in the subsequent turmoil in Avalon...
Then there is a high probability that he changed his name and identity later.
Because Aiwass is real, and he has no impression of Mathers at all.
The Eternal Church is ruled by elves, because the pace of life is very slow.Not all humans can adapt to life there.
Two-thirds of the senior members of the Nine Pillars Church are women, and more than 300% are elves.The Pope who rules the Holy State is rotated every [-] years. The outgoing Pope will automatically become a saint, and he will continue to walk around the world as the agent of the Holy State to give gifts and mediate disputes until he is old and unable to walk. Return to Theocracy.Therefore, if you want to be the pope, you can only be an elf.
Mathers was not only a man, but also a human being, and he belonged to a very small minority among the top echelons of Theocracy.Aiwass remembered that there should be no such person in the upper echelons of the church.
Because the Nine Pillars God Church has a special place.
That is to look at the face.
It doesn't have to be amazingly beautiful, but at least it must not be ugly.
Because the healing of the path of dedication requires physical contact with others, if the other party resists the treatment, the efficiency of the treatment will be greatly reduced.Coupled with the fact that "sacrificing fire" has obvious beautifying effects on the body, the top leaders of the church will definitely not be ugly.
But Bishop Mathers...
Is it because you are too old?
Aiwass' expression was a little subtle.
"Don't look at me, Aiwass. Look at the candle."
Noticing that Aiwass looked at him suddenly, Bishop Mathers, who looked like the old-fashioned and stern head teacher, made a rather stereotyped stern voice very naturally: "I don't have light or fire on my face, look at me It's useless."
"Yes."
Aiwass came back to his senses, and responded obediently.
- Pay for experience.
He confirmed in his heart.
On the other hand, Bishop Mathers, seeing Aiwass come back to his senses, slowed down his tone and continued to teach:
"You have to imagine that the negative factors such as pain, curse, and deficit in your body are not 'there are fewer things in your body', but 'something more negative in a balanced and healthy body' .You have to recognize it as a flowing, dark liquid and mentally move it to the middle finger of your left hand.
"It's like fuel oil, like smoke. It will dissipate when it comes into contact with flames..."
As he spoke, Bishop Mathers touched the flame with his left middle finger.
The ordinary flame suddenly brightened.
Faint flames extended from his fingertips to his whole body, and his whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of flame film, shining with light.
The pain and aging on the old bishop's body disappeared like going back in time——
The wrinkles on the face were smoothed out, and the unnaturally pale hair regained its dark brown luster and regained its elasticity, returning to its natural curl.And his dark pupils that were old and cloudy, like coagulated blood, also became brighter, like darker amber.
His back became straight, and his skin became white, clean and elastic.
He was constantly getting younger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't stop until he was about 30 years old——
It does not burn away the focus, nor does it dissolve the pain.Instead, he completely restored his body to an "ideal state."It's like a completely refurbished electronic product-except for the inevitable loss of battery life, there will be no traces of use.
And this kind of Mathers, it seems that he can't be called an "old bishop" anyway.
He pushed his hexagonal black-rimmed glasses and smiled smugly.Even the voice grows younger:
"...It's like this, Aiwass. This is the gratitude and gift from Lord Candlestick to us for our willingness to walk on the path of devotion.
"Except for the natural loss of lifespan, you will not be confused by illness throughout your life. Your body will always be in peak condition, so your lifespan will be much longer than normal people - because even if they die of old age, they will not die because their lifespan is completely exhausted naturally, but Due to fatigue and wear and tear and other reasons, they age prematurely and acquire irreversible diseases after their bodies become fragile.
"But we won't encounter such a situation. As long as you master the method of sacrificial fire, you can live long and healthy—Master Sizhu said, 'People who live for others don't need to suffer'. And health is the most important thing. Those who walk in other ways cannot ask for important things, and we cannot share this gift with them.
"I am 46 years old this year, but after I use the 'sacrificing fire' to recuperate my body, my appearance can be restored to the appearance that I am not even 30 years old. The bones, muscles, nerves and internal organs can all be restored to this level.
"If a person goes through sufficient exercise and takes good care of his body and mind, then it is theoretically possible for him to be so young when he reaches my age. This is the 'positive' that 'Sacrificial Fire' can play. Change—Of course, ordinary priests still can't do what I do. They can only turn negative numbers into zeros, but they can't turn zeros into positive numbers."
Seeing Samuel Mathers' proficient use of the fire sacrifice method gave him an almost rejuvenating effect.
Even Oswald showed a look of astonishment and admiration.
The young Bishop Mathers, who had recovered, showed a smug smile upon seeing this.
Bishop Mathers has a good impression of Aiwass and is full of expectations for his future.
So he hoped that Aiwass could firmly walk on the path of dedication.
Before, he purposely spent his life span to make himself extremely old—and that was just to perform such a performance at this moment.This kind of "rejuvenation" can leave an unforgettable and deep impression only if one's appearance is old and weak.
"Of course," Bishop Mathers hastily added in order not to hurt Aiwass' self-confidence, "you don't have to be in a hurry. Generally, priests who have just come into contact with the 'Sacrificial Fire' can make up for their own physical deficits. You have just been sacrificed by the devil, and your body's vitality will definitely be short. That's why I will give you priority in teaching you the "sacrifice fire". In this way, you can slowly replenish the vitality, blood and life lost due to the sacrifice.
"The mastery of sacred skills is very simple, but not immediately. Generally speaking, it is normal to master the 'Sacrificial Fire' within five days. I think you should be able to learn it in two days. The lighting technique is much simpler, You can master it immediately, so we will talk about it last. Blessing is the most difficult, and it usually takes about a week to learn.
"So, this time I will only teach you how to practice, after you go home..."
In the middle of Bishop Mathers' speech, his words suddenly froze.
Because he saw that Aiwass' pupils suddenly became hollow.
A dark red like the setting sun suddenly seeped out of the pupils which were as deep as the sea.It's like the sea surface at dusk, the closer it is to the top, the darker the blue, and the place near the bottom is like the sunset half submerged in the sea level, shining with an almost golden red halo.
Aiwass pointed his left hand at the candle flame, and touched the flame with his middle finger.
The flame ignited instantly and flowed into the blood along the fingertips.
Aiwass suddenly felt a relaxing warmth.
It's like listening to soft music and soaking in a hot spring with fragrance and flower petals after a long day's work.Feeling the heat soothes the whole body, a strong sense of sleepiness and satisfaction wells up in my heart.
In the pure white and bright world he visualized, a deer walked slowly by.
The deer was transparent, of a pure and dazzling red, like the finest ruby.The moment he appeared, Aiwass' sight was irresistibly drawn to it.
——That's the candlestick master!The Supreme One of the Way of Consecration, the God of Consecration!
Unlike the great pressure brought to Aiwass by the silver-crowned dragon of the authoritarian path, watching the candlestick did not cause Aiwass hallucinations or pressure.For he bound his divinity, and made himself accessible to mortals—
His body was covered with black thorns.Those thorns pierced his skin, causing him to bleed red.As he walked, the blood kept dripping on the ground, causing groups of eternal red flame footprints to rise from the ground.
And his huge crystal red antlers are like candlesticks piercing in all directions, with dozens of clusters of pure white flames ignited.
The deer walked slowly towards the still, statue-like Aiwass, and gently licked his outstretched left hand.
Afterwards, he raised his head, and softly and lightly reached out to Aiwass' palm from a wound pierced by black thorns at the lower part of his neck.
When a drop of blood fell into Aiwass' hand, it turned into a teardrop-like ruby.
Three lines of words appeared in Aiwass' heart.
That is one of the three entry entries obtained every time the road is advanced——
【Flame Affinity LV1 (Blue): You crushed the candle's blood and realized a little bit of the essence of flame. 】
【Eternal Health (White): Your body is washed clean by the candle's blood, and you can better resist diseases. 】
[Flame container LV1 (blue): You drink the blood of the candle, and the soul is expanded. 】
