Lord of Arcane

Chapter 389 [Self Redemption]

Xia Duo stared at Cole, and he could clearly see that a fine layer of sweat had grown on the other's forehead at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

The arrogance and self-respect that were faintly revealed at the beginning have now turned into panic and hesitation. Xia Duo can feel the inner struggle of the other party, but he has no sympathy at all.

No matter what the other party's real purpose is, it is always mixed with shadows. Does it make him sympathize with a potential enemy?
And just when the other party's face gradually returned to calm, Xia Duo glanced at Laiton and motioned him to speak. He had already been instructed that Laiton immediately summoned a ball of holy light, enveloped the left and right, and asked:

"Holy words and holy deeds, don't lose my heart! Cole, I'm asking you on behalf of Lord Xiaduo, do you have any evil thoughts towards the Great Xia leader?"

"I didn't!" Cole replied quickly, almost subconsciously.

But sooner was the feedback of the holy power. The moment he said "I don't have it", a large piece of holy light gushed out of Cole's body and dissipated around, rendering the interrogation scene quite sacred.

The holy power comes from the gift of brilliance, which is the result of one's own practice of the teachings, but it is also the result of "faith". Once the faith is shaken, the holy power will immediately respond.

"He lied!" Leighton whispered.

As a clergyman, lying under the witness of the glorious will will lead to the receding of the holy power, not to mention that there may be a violation of the doctrine behind this answer. Leiden glanced at Xia Duo and asked whether to continue.

Of course Xia Duo will continue. Since the other party intends to be an enemy, obviously violated the teachings, and even sent them to your door, how can there be any reason not to continue!

So, Layton continued to ask: "Cole, do you know what the doctrine is, but turn a blind eye?"

"I, I—" Cole's face changed drastically, and he finally realized that something was wrong, but at the moment, he was in the divine light, and he couldn't help but answer. Various thoughts fought in Cole's mind, and finally he gritted his teeth. An answer was squeezed out between the teeth, "Yes!"

As soon as he said these words, he immediately fled from the area covered by the sacred light, leaving behind him a trail of the dissipation of the holy power.

As soon as he ran out of the area covered by the sacred radiance, Cole knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kept chanting the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance", ignoring Xia Duo and Layton who were still at the side.

"What happened to him?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

"He's redeeming himself."

Seeing this scene, Layton also felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing a clergyman who is also the Lord of Radiance fall before his eyes, he did not expect [The Field of Honesty] to have such an effect.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Lord Xiaduo. Just now, the Lord ordered him to torture Cole in terms of faith. Could it be that the Lord Lord had expected it long ago.

Of course, Xia Duo couldn't predict anything in advance, but he just wanted to use it as an experiment. After all, the clergy is another system for him. Some experiments are not easy to try on Layton, but the enemy doesn't care.

And this time, he also probably thought of some key points. If he hadn't been in Daxia, he might not have such a good effect. After all, the teaching of the Lord of Radiance says to obey the ruler, which also includes him, the local lord.

Of course, the reason for all of this is that Cole himself really violated the doctrine the day before yesterday, and he had to know that he had misinterpreted it. If he misinterpreted without knowing it, Xia Duo was not sure if it would work.

However, if one really distorts the doctrine, one may still be able to obtain holy power, but after all one cannot reach the divine vigilance.

From another point of view, Xia Duo also found that this so-called teaching actually has a large range of error tolerance, and what the clergy should really fit is the holy power, not the teaching.

After all, doctrines are also written and determined by humans, and holy power is the most direct link between priests and gods.

In just a moment, Xia Duo had insight into the secrets about the holy power and the clergy, but if he could find out, maybe this is not a secret at all, which inevitably reminded him of conspiracy theories.

But even if there is a conspiracy, it is too far away from him. Right now, what to do with this Cole is still a bit nerve-wracking!
Self redemption?

Is it a trick of self-deception by the magic stick?Or does it really happen?
Just looking at Cole who kept chanting the holy mantra, Xia Duo also found that the holy radiance emanating from him no longer dissipated directly, and there were faint signs of re-condensation.

Xia Duo didn't make up his mind for a while. It stands to reason that a slash is the most direct, but this slash will completely tear the company apart. Now he doesn't even know the origin of the Rodney collar behind Cole. It's impossible to be so reckless.

In addition, Xia Duo has another worry. Up to now, everything he has done is still reasonable, but killing a priest may be marked by the one in the sky. He has no plans for this yet.

Instructing Layton to bring a team of soldiers to watch over Cole, who was still redeeming himself, Xia Duo returned to the small tent and contacted Eberke. It is better to consult an experienced elder about this kind of matter.

However, the next moment, Ebuke actually teleported over directly, "Where is the Cole you mentioned?"

"Just outside, by the altar."

Xia Duo opened the curtain and walked out of the small tent first, and Eberke also came out. In front of the small tent was the altar square. A priest-like figure was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by Layton, and a team of today's dispatch team. Hugh's soldiers.

"The territory is well built!" Eberke looked around and praised, and then came to the altar.

At this moment, Cole still didn't get up, but the divine radiance that diffused around him had completely subsided, and Xia Duo heard that he had already read the last part of the proverb.

"My Lord, may your order be on earth as it is in heaven, glory and holiness be yours!"

Eberke also quietly watched Cole finish the last sentence without any urging. Who would not be in awe of the Lord of Radiance!
Soon, Cole stood up from the ground, completely ignoring the soldiers who were pointing at him with long guns, and he set his eyes on Xia Duo, with a calm look in his eyes.

Not the same!

The moment Cole stood up, Xia Duo realized that the other party was different from before, with a calm demeanor, without a trace of arrogance, self-respect, and without any panic or hesitation.

It's almost like a different person!
This is self-salvation?
This is too exaggerated!
Xia Duo was shocked. Cole was acting the whole time. Maybe he hadn't considered it at all. At the cost of holy power and faith, let the Lord of Radiance accompany him to act?

This is absolutely impossible!

Then this self-salvation is really terrifying!

For a moment, Xiaduo didn't think of what to say, but Cole had already said, "Lord Xiaduo, I apologize for my previous mistakes. Lord Rodney is interested in Green Pearl Forest, please forgive me!"

After finishing speaking, he shut up and said nothing, just looked straight at Xia Duo without any emotional fluctuations.
