Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 324 Borrowing an Eraser
“I would like to ask you some questions about ‘Golden Law Fundamentals’.”

Lu Mingfei got straight to the point:
“I’ve run into some… trouble, possibly related to the ‘Dead Root’ or something like a death force that shouldn’t exist. I’ve heard that the forces of fundamentalism have some restraint over it, so I’d like to learn the Golden Law from you.”

Upon hearing the words "Dead Root" and "a death force that should not exist," Colin's brow furrowed slightly.

However, he did not show disgust or fear, nor did he rebuke Lu Mingfei for "only seeking divine intervention when in trouble." Instead, he began to think about it seriously.

A moment later, Colin raised his head. Despite being wrapped in bandages and having lost his sight, he accurately found Lu Mingfei's direction.

“I understand. You want to learn about the Golden Law fundamentalism, whatever your purpose, that’s a good thing.”

Colin said seriously:
"It is not only a belief, but also a profound science that can help us better approach the Golden Tree, understand the Two Fingers, and serve the Two Fingers."

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected Colin to be so insightful.

"So, let's start with the basics."

Colin's voice was calm:
"The teaching of the two fingers is guidance and protection. Prayer is to feel the existence of the law with a devout heart, and to ask it to show its power and heal wounds."

He began to chant ancient phrases in a low voice, accompanied by simple and specific gestures, to teach Lu Mingfei a basic prayer called "Restoration".

【recover】

The prayer of the two-finger believers.

It can restore the health of surrounding friendly characters.

Maintaining a state of prayer during the continuous execution period will not be effective.

Even if injured, I will not fall; I will fight on for my mission.
Two fingers so desperately hoping for fading.

This prayer aims to invoke the most fundamental life-restoring power in the Golden Law to heal minor wounds.

Lu Mingfei listened carefully, imitating Colin's gestures and prayers.

During the learning process, a sense of enlightenment gradually arose in his mind.

If the storm-type combat techniques he had previously encountered and used were based on his own will and strength, he crudely "commanded" the wind elements in the world to obey his orders;

So this so-called two-finger prayer is essentially more like a process of "requesting permission" or "asking for power".

It requires sincere faith to communicate with and sense the grand order that exists in the darkness in order to borrow even a tiny bit of its power to manifest.

"Now, please calm your mind, feel the presence of the law, and try to guide that healing power."

Colin led the way.

Lu Mingfei did not follow orders.

He composed himself and, following Colin's instructions, silently recited a prayer while awkwardly gesturing.

He didn't have high hopes, after all, even the most basic brilliance magic could be turned into an explosion by him.

However, the next moment, a strange feeling came over me.

His spiritual perception seemed to rise infinitely, rising higher and higher, far removed from the human world, and he vaguely "saw" a being so vast that it surpassed the comprehension of ordinary people.

Lu Mingfei could hardly describe its appearance in words, but he had "seen" it.

That being seemed to exchange a glance with him.

With just a glance, or rather, just the sensation of being "watched," Lu Mingfei felt as if his mind was about to be overwhelmed by boundless information and pressure, his head throbbing with pain. This feeling was fleeting, quickly subsiding as if someone had shared the burden for him.

Even stranger sensations followed.

During that brief "connection," he did not experience the "prayer-granting" process that Colin had described.

The feeling... was more like a "discussion".

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like Lu Mingfei wanting to borrow an eraser from Caesar.

He had barely made his request, and before he even received a clear "permission," he seemed to hear a lazy yet grand thought saying, "Okay, don't bother me with this little thing, just take it yourself."

Then, the permissions were briefly granted to him, and power flowed out, simply and directly, even with a hint of impatience.

The whole process happened so fast that Lu Mingfei didn't even have time to process it before the connection was cut off.

A gentle and pure golden light actually gathered quietly at his fingertips, faint yet steadily radiating a comforting life force.

A unique prototype array pattern appeared beneath Lu Mingfei's feet, and the soft golden light instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.

It was a success?! And a success on the first try?!

Even Lu Mingfei himself found it unbelievable.

He looked down at the tiny ball of golden light in his hand, then looked up at Colin, his mind filled with questions.

Is this... really a normal prayer?

But Colin was clearly unaware of Lu Mingfei's thrilling and inexplicable "connection" experience.

In his bandaged, faith-focused world, he only "saw" one thing—Lu Mingfei had successfully channeled the power of the "restoration" prayer on his very first attempt.

The faint golden light was crystal clear in his world.

The young clergyman nodded slightly, his gentle voice carrying undisguised admiration and a hint of relief at finding a like-minded person:

"To be able to successfully guide prayer on the first try... Mr. Lu Mingfei, I never imagined you were so devout and had such a natural affinity for the Golden Law."

He continued speaking sincerely, turning towards Lu Mingfei:

"In today's Round Table Hall, there are very few faded individuals like you who are willing to devote themselves to serving the two fingers, learning to pray, and receiving such a swift response. It seems that we are fellow travelers on the path of seeking truth and serving the great will."

Lu Mingfei's lips twitched involuntarily as he listened to Colin's heartfelt praise.

Fellow travelers? Devotion?
The feeling of being glanced at impatiently by a colossal creature, then casually tossed a bit of power at him like a child begging for candy, echoed in his mind...

What does this have to do with "piety" and "friendliness"?!
He opened his mouth, as if to say something to explain or correct the misunderstanding.

Should I tell Colin, "No, you've got it wrong. I think I just had a rather unpleasant conversation with your 'boss,' and he found me annoying, so he just gave me something to get rid of me?"
Whether Colin believes it or not, he himself finds it absurd to say it.

In the end, Lu Mingfei could only manage an awkward but polite smile:

"Heh...hehe...you flatter me, Mr. Colin. Maybe...maybe I just got lucky and succeeded by chance."

Colin seemed to interpret his dry laugh as humility and nodded approvingly.
"You are too humble. Keep this piety and humility, and the light of the law will shine upon you even more deeply. May the Golden Law be with you."

Lu Mingfei just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.
