Chapter 263 Stigmata: Lake
Seeing Su Ge find him, Lance seemed to sense it, and asked, "Do you want me to help you improve your spiritual power?"

Su Ge nodded: "Yes."

In the previous contact, Su Ge sensed Lance's terrifying psychic power. For an expert-level mystic, his psychic power is even four or five times that of those master-level psychic powers. This is a very terrifying and abnormal thing.

So Su Ge felt that Lance should have some methods to directly improve spiritual power.

Lance said bluntly: "This secret method, even in our elf order, few people can get it. It can be said to be the core thing of our elf order."

Su Ge nodded: "I can guess it, but now I have to use this method to reverse the situation here, otherwise after the son of the Great God is born, let alone this city, that kind of existence will even cause the destruction of the entire country."

Lance fell into deep thought and didn't speak.

Su Ge continued to say: "And you just said, you said that few people in your elf sect can get it, you said "can get it", not "qualified to get it". This means that this The threshold for this method is very high, and there may even be huge risks. Although it is the secret method of your elf sect, few people in the sect have the ability to achieve it, am I right!?"

Hearing this, Lance was shocked, looked up at Su Ge and nodded silently: "Yes."

"This means that this method is actually not a big secret in the sect. Generally, the regular staff of the sect know it. It's just that no one can pass the test, or they don't have the courage to try it. Strictly speaking, it is not a big secret. Something that requires too much secrecy, right?"

Lance clenched his fists and continued to nod.

Su Ge took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Lance, I know you are a real knight. I am not a knight, and I am not even a good person strictly speaking. But I hope you can help me here. I, I don't want people in this capital city to become sacrifices to that evil ceremony, I want to crush those damn cultists!"

Langston was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Su Ge with piercing purple eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Okay! I promise you. But I have one condition."

"Fair trade, please tell me." Su Ge said happily.

Lance said seriously: "I know you are a person with a bottom line and principles. I believe you can achieve a great cause. If one day in the future, our Elven Order encounters a crisis, we need your help. I I hope that at that time you can do your best to help us through the difficulties. Don't worry, if it involves life, you can refuse."

Su Ge thought for a few seconds after listening, then nodded, and replied with a straight face: "Yes, I, Su Ge Sotos, swear by the name of my lord, the lord of death and storm."

After listening, Lance nodded in satisfaction, turned around and said, "Please come with me."

Then the two walked side by side into a very quiet living room on the second floor.

Lance pulled out the purple long sword behind him, carefully placed it on the table, then knelt down, clasped his hands together and prayed in a low voice.

Five minutes later, he gestured twice with both hands and pushed forward.

Accompanied by a burst of soft blue light, a blue light appeared on Lance's forehead, and this light projected a strange symbol in the air like a projector.

The symbol is surrounded by a circle with four wavy symbols inside.

"Is this the rune "lake"?" Su Ge asked tentatively.

Lance thought for a while and explained: "Strictly speaking, it is indeed a kind of rune, but it is the supreme product derived from runes-stigmata rune, referred to as stigmata."

"Stigmata?" Su Ge was puzzled when he heard this word for the first time.

Lance explained: "The runes are the transcriptions of the voices of ancient gods. The lowest level, 33 Cairns runes represent the most basic elements in the world. The upper level is the more advanced Kalding runes, a total of eleven, respectively Mountains, seas, lakes, rivers, rain, snow, earth, sky, forests, plains, valleys."

Su Ge nodded slightly. He had a certain understanding of this knowledge before.

Back in Bain City, the key to cracking Ron's circle was the "river" rune engraved on the wellhead.

"The Cairns rune symbolizes the most basic elements, while the Kardin rune symbolizes the structure of the world. The stigmata rune is based on the Kardin rune, which visualizes and regularizes a rune, thus forming A powerful rune with substantial power."

"The stigmata rune is the symbol of every church, and now all the larger churches have their own stigmata rune. For example, the stigmata rune held by your Church of the Holy Blood is "sky"."

Su Ge heard this and muttered in his heart: "What I, the vicar, really failed. These outsiders know our church better than myself."

Lance continued to say: "The stigmata rune held by our elf order is this: the stigmata of the lake."

"The stigmata of the lake?" Su Ge was full of curiosity.

Lance put away the stigmata and warned seriously: "You have to know that the stigmata rune has the highest level of binding power. It is like a shackle branded on the soul, restraining you all the time."

Su Ge's heart skipped a beat: "Then what is the effect of your stigmata?"

Lance said with a smile: "Don't worry too much. After all, the stigmata is just a rune, not a notepad. The binding force of the stigmata inscription is very limited, and generally only one oath can be issued. Generally, this oath is not allowed to harm this person. People in the religious order, we are the same."

"Then why didn't you promise not to betray the church?" Su Ge asked curiously.

Lance shook his head: "The so-called betrayal is too subjective and too general. You know that some paranoid people have a different worldview from ordinary people. If one day he suddenly thinks that the members of the sect are enemies, then he will treat the members of the sect as enemies." Kill them all, and the effect of the stigmata will not be triggered."

Su Ge nodded in agreement.This made him immediately think of the villains in some anime. They all have their own set of values ​​that sound awesome and upright. They are always for the sake of all mankind, but they do not use any means in their actions.

After a simple narration, the content entered the core part.

"Water is the most inclusive and softest, and is the source of all life. Our spiritual energy is like water, constantly nourishing our soul, allowing our will to grow and preserve. But water depends on the situation. Different effects will have different effects. The water in the sea is terrifying and deadly, the water in the river is violent, and only the water in the lake is the softest and calmest."

"The effect of the stigmata of our lake is like the sparkling and calm lake, which nourishes people's soul and spiritual energy. Engraving the stigmata of the lake on the spirit can make your spiritual energy normal Basically, it has been increased by five times, and the recovery of spiritual energy has been accelerated by 30%, and at the same time, it has made my spirit more stable, stronger, and more inclusive."

After listening, Su Ge's expression was full of shock, and then asked: "Then what are the conditions for using this stigmata?"

"Naturally, he passed the test of the holy sword." Lance said, pointing to the sword on the table.

"Our elf order serves many elves, and the core elves are the elves of the lake. According to legend, our lord saved the elves of the lake from the devil, but he was about to die. In order to repay his kindness, the elves of the lake sacrificed the lake The stigmata, and the three holy swords in the lake. The holy master who was nourished by the stigmata and the holy sword not only survived, but also became a half-human, half-elf existence. This sword is one of the three holy swords at the beginning. The determination to repent." Lance said seriously.

Su Ge blinked: "The lake of no regrets you mentioned in the tavern, does it really exist?"

Lance nodded seriously: "Of course, I was officially recognized by the stigmata because I stepped on that lake, and I am qualified to use this unrepentant determination to become a holy swordsman."

Thinking of this, Su Ge asked seriously: "Then what should we do next?"

"The holy sword is connected with the stigmata, you hold this sword, because there is no stigmata, you will be regarded as an intruder, and you will be pulled into that lake for a trial. If you pass, you can go from that lake Come out of the lake, if you don't pass, your will will be lost here forever, and finally gradually dissipate and become a part of the lake."

Hearing this mechanism, Su Ge sighed: "This is really a perfect protection mechanism. Those who fail to pass the test will die there directly, without worrying about the sword being taken away. Those who pass the test will be imprinted with stigmata , unable to cause harm to any members of the Elven Cult. Even if this sword is taken away, there is no need to worry about turning your head against yourself."

Lance smiled proudly: "It's really strange what you focus on."

Su Ge laughed: "It's just a matter of feeling, of course I'm focusing on this. Is the place where the lake is located a spiritual space? Is it an illusion? Or is it a space similar to a dream?"

"It is a real space between reality and illusion, it is in the fuzzy area of ​​all known spaces. Here I want to remind you, that space is spiritual entry, and all your external equipment cannot be displayed and used in it Just like this sword, the determination without regrets, where the true essence of your soul is tested, only those whose will is as strong as steel and who have no regrets for their actions can step across that lake!"

The corner of Su Ge's mouth was slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand confidently: "I used to have a lot of regrets, but now, I don't have any."

After listening, Lance smiled and said: "I hope your true will will be consistent with what you said. You are a pure person with a clean soul. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you can pass this trial."

After speaking, he handed over the sword.

Su Ge stretched his hand halfway: "This thing shouldn't take too much time, right? We are running out of time now."

"Don't worry, the whole experience is only a matter of one minute in reality."
