After all, he has the authority to use holy light and the ability to spread the gospel.
"Although obtaining the power of holy light is only our guess, this guess is still very likely to be true. I believe that all the bishops are aware of the words engraved on the cave wall, right?"
Arthur said in a deep voice that these bishops would never do nothing while he and Melina were resting, and that each member of the team following them had a helmet-mounted video recorder.
If a country works at full capacity, it shouldn't be difficult to decipher the inscriptions on the cave wall. Besides, the difficulty of teaching Slavonic is only relative, and there are many people who are familiar with this language.
It has been a night, and perhaps the cave has already been explored thoroughly by the stationed troops.
"Yes, we already know what is written on the wall of the cave." Patriarch Kirill responded, "The Holy Grail has magical powers, and that is why the Holy Fool was favored by the Lord."
When Kirill heard the news, he was shocked. He originally thought that the divine power should be in the major holy places. Even if it was not in the holy places, it should be in the famous churches.
But who could have imagined that the divine power was so down-to-earth, hidden in the caves and wilderness, and controlled by that group of ascetics and holy fools.
All I can say is that it was within reason and unexpected.
Kirill then sent people to look for those ascetics and holy fools. Although those they found might not possess divine power, it was definitely a direction.
No longer be like before when you knew nothing.
He had already distributed this order to all branch churches, hoping that they would have better luck and meet other holy fools with divine powers sooner rather than later.
"In that case, I won't waste any more time explaining." Arthur's expression did not change. He was not surprised by Archbishop Kirill's answer.
"Since that Holy Fool Senior has recorded it, we can also try to trust each other and believe in the magical power of the Holy Grail."
"But the senior didn't explain how he obtained the divine power, so we can guess that he drank it directly."
“It’s a bit risky, but it’s all part of the test.”
"But there is only this much holy blood in the Holy Grail. Wouldn't it be too extravagant to test it?" An archbishop nearby expressed his thoughts while looking at the liquid in the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail is actually not small. By visual inspection, one can guess that the liquid inside is about 1 liter, which is equivalent to the amount of two bottles of ordinary mineral water.
But compared with the number of humans, the number of people in Moscow alone, not to mention all of Russia, is not enough. There is still a lot of people who don’t have a drop for each person.
As for the liquid in the Holy Grail, everyone has assumed that it is holy blood, after all, there is no better name for it.
"It's called a test, but it can also be considered a selection of Holy Light Apostles."
Arthur was naturally aware of what the archbishop had just said: there were too many people and too little holy blood.
But not testing is like having a treasure without using it. You don’t know how to spend the treasure, so it would be foolish to just leave it there.
"You can separate half of the Holy Blood for testing, and then leave the other half in the cup, and then try to see if you can restore the Holy Blood in the Holy Grail."
"The Holy Blood in the Holy Grail must have been used before, but now it is full, which means that the Holy Blood in the Holy Grail is definitely not a one-time use."
"We need to test the Holy Blood Recovery and the Holy Light Apostle. We still have a lot of things to test, but we have plenty of time to test them, so we can take our time."
After hearing Arthur's words, the bishops did not rush to reply.
After a moment, Patriarch Kirill spoke.
"You can take the Holy Grail first. Can't Melina make a holy vessel? Let's make a holy vessel that can hold the holy blood first."
"As for your proposal, Arthur, let us discuss it for a moment."
"I understand." Hearing this, Arthur did not hesitate, stood up, picked up the Holy Grail, and left with Melina.
What are we still discussing? It looks like you've already agreed.
Although he really wanted to say this, Arthur still gave some face to Archbishop Kirill. When the Archbishop asked Melina to make a holy vessel to hold the holy blood, it was equivalent to agreeing to his proposal.
Saying that they would be allowed to discuss for a while is just a show, since the final decision will not rest with the bishop anyway, right?
But after all, it was their own business, so Arthur couldn't say anything. It was okay if they just wanted to do it for formalities.
"Melina, go ask this monastery if it has the Holy Grail. If it does, make the monastery's Holy Grail into a holy vessel."
"After all, it is holy blood. If it is to be separated, it should be contained in the Holy Grail."
"Well, I understand." Melina nodded, and then looked at Arthur who was holding the Holy Grail. "What about you? What are you doing?"
"Me?" Arthur smiled when he heard the question. "Of course I am the guardian of the real Holy Grail. After all, I don't have the ability to create a holy vessel."
"So I'll trouble you to be more busy. Those who are capable should do more work."
Hearing this, Melina rolled her eyes: "I think you just want to be lazy, and you say it so righteously."
Arthur, who was seen through, smiled awkwardly: "Haha, don't point it out, it's human nature, being lazy is not a crime."
Chapter 310: The Prototype of the Knights
The bishops did not discuss for long. Melina had just found the Holy Grail in the monastery, and the result of the discussion came out.
As the two had expected, Archbishop Kirill agreed to Arthur's proposal to test the holy blood first. Otherwise, it would be a waste of this God-given treasure if the holy blood was left unused.
But since the holy vessel that holds the holy blood separately has not yet been manufactured, there is no need to rush to start testing the holy blood, and the monks who will undergo the test have not yet been decided.
Bishops are senior clergy in the Christian Church, equivalent to some important persons in charge. Therefore, persons in charge of positions within the scope of bishops cannot be used as testers. Every bishop is important.
The testers can only find them from the large group of monks under the bishop. Even so, there are actually many job classifications among the monks.
However, these are not big problems. As long as the monks are young, loyal and determined, they can participate in this Holy Blood Test. But the number of people taking the test for the first time does not need to be too large, after all, this is the first time.
Even if everyone thinks that a test error will not endanger life, no one dares to make a conclusion before the results are out.
After all these decisions were made, the bishops, led by the Archbishop, began looking for suitable test monks in their minds. After a simple selection, they picked out the six most suitable people to obtain the divine power. As for why six people were chosen, it was because the testing method for each person was different.
If you really compare the amount of water you drink directly, or the amount you drink after diluting it with holy water, etc., six people are far from enough.
But this is just the first test, so there is no need to be too harsh.
After a while, in a special room.
Melina put down the monastery holy grail in her hand, which was given to her by the high priest.
The high priest is a senior title of the priesthood in the church. He is the elder among the priests. Items mainly used for sacrificial ceremonies, such as the Holy Grail, are kept by the high priest.
The manufacture of the holy vessel was not complicated, but since it was used to hold holy blood, it still took Melina some effort.
She engraved the holy pattern on the surface of the monastery's holy grail. As for where the holy pattern came from, she was not stupid. She simply copied the pattern engraved on the Holy Blood Holy Grail.
After doing her best to turn the monastery's holy grail into a holy vessel, Melina did not stop and thought it would be better to test it as soon as possible.
She was still somewhat worried about the darkness mentioned on the cave wall, and she had to develop the Knights of Holy Light proposed by the Archbishop as soon as possible.
It's not that Melina doesn't believe in the power of modern weapons, but those supernatural beings are completely unreasonable, not to mention the darkness that corresponds to the holy light.
Holy light can almost be considered an omnipotent energy, so what about the darkness that is opposite to it? If modern weapons are powerless, then we can only rely on people with divine power.
After all, she and Arthur are just two people, and they must develop a team with divine power.
A moment later, in the inner room of the monastery.
Several senior bishops came here with six monks who were ready for the test, while Archbishop Kirill and Melina had already been waiting here.
"Are these the test monks who have been finally selected?" Archbishop Kirill walked forward and looked at the six people who were dressed the same.
The six people are three men and three women. Judging from their looks, they should be between 25 and 35 years old. This age is the peak of their physical condition for both women and men.
Neither too young nor too old.
"Yes, Archbishop," the leading bishop replied, "We have explained the test to them, and they are honored by it."
"Moreover, the six of them are the most loyal monks we have carefully selected. They stick to their faith and their devotion to the Lord is beyond doubt!"
"In that case, let's get started."
Hearing this, Patriarch Kirill did not hesitate and waved his hand to start the test.
The six monks remained silent, but only they themselves knew how excited and nervous they were. They were about to step into the supernatural realm, so who could remain calm?
In front of the statue of the Holy Lord, six testers knelt down one by one.
The test naturally cannot just start like that. You have to pray to the Lord, calm your heart, thank the Holy Lord, and then the most important thing is to drink the holy blood.
Although it is a bit strange to drink the holy blood representing the blood of the Holy Lord Jesus in front of the statue of the Holy Lord.
After the six monks expressed their gratitude, they raised the ordinary cups in front of them and drank them all.
After Melina brought the holy vessel to hold the holy blood, the subsequent preparations became much easier. A lot of holy water had already been prepared, and ordinary cups were used for testing.
If the Holy Grail is needed even for testing, then it will definitely not be enough. Not to mention whether Melina will have time to prepare, the key is that the Holy Grail will definitely not be enough.
Minor imperfections like this are not a problem.
"Do you feel it?" Arthur nudged Melina next to him with his elbow, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Something is happening inside their bodies."
"…I don't need to feel it to know it. The expressions on their faces have already told me."
The six people kneeling in front of the statue of the Holy Lord had extremely painful expressions on their faces, as if they were under great pressure and pain.
Cold sweat flowed from their foreheads, and the six testers were shaking more and more violently, as if they had stepped on a leaky wire.
Of course, the biggest change was their hair. The six testers' hair gradually turned a thick sandy golden color from the roots, and the expressions on their faces also began to become gradually relaxed.
After the pain, there is an extreme sense of relaxation, and the whole body seems to be reshaped. A vigorous and heavy power emerges in the body, making people want to moan out loud.
But the six of them at least knew what the occasion was and did not do anything inappropriate, but opened their eyes one after another.
"I felt a sense of relief in my body, as if there was an extra energy in my body that I could control."
The tester who opened his eyes first said excitedly, the joy on his face almost overflowing.
"Can you control that energy in your body?"
An archbishop who was watching asked hurriedly. The tester did not lose his composure, but the onlookers did.
"can."
The tester who responded closed his eyes and immersed his mind, guiding the energy in his body. In his perception, that energy appeared to be the color of thick gold sand.
Energy circulated throughout his limbs and bones. With each circulation, his spirit felt better. Moreover, this circulation was automatic and there was no need to calm his mind to control it.
"!"
Under the astonished gazes of the bishops, a ray of light lit up. This light was not like the scorching sun at noon, nor like the cold moonlight at midnight. Instead, it seemed thick and steady, like an impenetrable wall. Just standing there, it could make people feel at ease.
After seeing this scene, the bishops who were watching the scene felt their hearts pounding, their breathing became noticeably heavier, and their faces flushed with excitement.
Then he turned his gaze to the remaining five people. The remaining five testers naturally knew what the bishops meant.
And they were not surprised. Five identical sand-gold lights lit up at the same time. In an instant, the small room seemed to be dyed with the light of dusk, and the sand-gold light waves filled the entire room.
"Almighty Lord... Thank you for your favor to us, may your will be done...!"
The bishops knelt in front of the statue of the Holy Lord, trembling, and chanted prayers, hoping that this would be enough to suppress the excitement and worship in their hearts.
After a while, the prayer ended, and the tester who spoke first said softly: "My dear bishops, I have a feeling..."
When all the bishops turned their eyes to him, he raised his right hand and let the golden light shine from it again.
"This energy can be cultivated. It is far more than what is currently displayed. This sacred power has the potential to grow!"
“Although it’s very subtle, when I was praying to the Holy Lord with the bishops just now, I could sense that the holy light energy flowing in my body had increased slightly!”
After hearing what the tester said just now, the bishop almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. Cultivation, the meaning of this word is extraordinary!
Cultivation means that the divine power obtained by drinking the holy blood can grow steadily, and the ability to grow also means that this power can become a system.
Holy Light System!
In that case, the Holy Blood will become a key, a key to unlock the inheritance of Holy Light, and their church will become a truly divine force!
Walking on earth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will no longer be a slogan, but a fact.
"Well, since it's just a feeling, then act according to your feeling. This is the Lord's test for us."
The bishop took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. It was too early to get excited because the matter had not yet been decided.
Moreover, achieving the path of Holy Light inheritance is still an illusory goal. Not to mention the practice, it is not yet certain whether the Holy Blood can be restored.
Unless it is confirmed that the Holy Blood can be restored, and the exact method of cultivating the Holy Light is summarized, all of these are still like water without a source and trees without roots.
"I understand."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Matvey Pavlovich Petrov." Matvey raised his head and chest and answered loudly with an excited look on his face.
"Matvey, in ancient Jewish it means the gift of God Jehovah. It's a really nice name." Patriarch Kirill said with a smile.
"Then I will appoint you now, Matvey. You will be the captain of this six-man team, and this team will also become the prototype of the Holy Light Knights!"
