Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The Earth Serpent's jeweled star eyes moved. It hadn't been allowed to fight much in recent days, and Leon felt that it had been nurtured in the Star Soul Greenhouse, and seemed to have become more spiritual.

The golden snake crawled in front of the Tianlong, which was much bigger than it. The light of the star soul shone in the Tianlong's eyes, and some mysterious runes fell into the star eyes of the Earth Snake.

Its head shook, its eye membrane closed to cover its starry eyes, its body slowly curled up, and the ground around it bulged and began to wrap it.

When the soil completely covered Anastasia, it began to shrink and solidify, forming a rounded surface curve. The soil was arranged closely like snake scales, and in an instant the big snake seemed to be contained in a giant golden egg.

"What's wrong with Xiao An?" Zoe asked in surprise.

"Eden is too young and not mature enough, so I haven't told you many details."

Baal said, "I have taught the Earth Star Soul how to shape its own mind. After its transformation is complete, it will begin to master the Star Soul's true power in human form. This will accelerate the Son of God's progress in obtaining the Purest Earth Star Crystal."

163. Oath of Glory

"Its name is Xiao An?" The white wolf, who had just finished talking to Dorothy, stared at the huge golden egg.

Andasu herself is called "An" by her friends. According to the custom of the Newbis language, the name Zoe is just the initial pronunciation of Anastasia with the ending sound added, which is exactly like calling her.

Dorothy chuckled, while Andasu remained silent and thoughtful, as if she had some other idea.

"Can Xiao An become a human?"

Zoe smiled with surprise and thanked Baal.

Leon had never thought of being able to carry a summoned beast that could transform into a human, and the Sky Knights of all the groups probably hadn't thought of it either.

In the past, there were indeed rumors that top-level monsters and super-veiled monsters had the ability to transform into humans, but no one had ever confirmed it.

Baal was surrounded by starlight, and his huge body that reached into the sky disappeared. The starlight condensed into the shape of an old man on the cliff.

He had a resolute face, the vicissitudes of life had not given him a kind look, his long white beard and hair were thick and flowing, and his whole person was like a storm of hidden power.

"Teacher!" Alulu shouted in surprise.

The calf walked timidly before Baal, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Li Ang stood beside her and asked softly, "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Niu looked at him and his cheeks turned red. He lowered his head and whispered, "Teacher, can you still be my teacher?"

Baal closed his eyes and sighed, "I created the physical body to reincarnate in order to preserve the power of the Star Soul. Each life is a complete journey of life. In order to prevent chaos in the human world, I intentionally forsake it."

He slowly opened his eyes. "However, since the Son of the Star God has appeared again in the sky of Newbis, my power will gradually recover to its full potential. There is no need to reincarnate again. I can appear in human form at any time in the future."

"The Holy Dragon has been reincarnated again. I am originally here to assist and witness this event." Gregory said with a smile.

Leon guessed that just like when he was pulled into the magical dimension and his soul and body were separated, Baal's actions might be similar.

The so-called soul is just a cultural concept. The formation of two kinds of undead souls is the real result of the separation of soul and body. But it is not the case with Leon. The spirit contained in the body of the star soul is more intense, and they are existences beyond common sense. It can also survive in the special situation of separation of soul and body like Leon.

When it was reincarnated as a human, its true form toured the skies of Newbis, becoming a celestial phenomenon more terrifying than a storm. The Star Soul, as it were, truly exceeded Leon's imagination time and again.

Baal said to Alulu, "If you are still willing to accept me as your teacher, there is no reason for me to refuse."

"Great!"

Xiao Niu went forward and hugged the old woman. She knew her size, so she didn't dare hug her too long to avoid embarrassment. Also, because Baal Zephilinus had lived his life as a serious old man, Xiao Niu probably rarely experienced a gentle attitude from him.

Oh, to be precise, this dragon is the proud starlight.

Alulu's innocent face was filled with smiles. It was the first time in these days that Leon saw her laugh so heartily.

"I, I'm so happy."

Alulu jumped to Leon's side and hugged his arms tightly. He felt like he was sinking into a marshmallow, and even felt a kind of suction. It should not be underestimated.

Baal frowned and stared at Li Ang with a meaningful look.

Li Ang didn't know if it was an illusion or the air around him was electrified, but his entire back felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles.

Alulu was completely oblivious to the atmosphere. She just smiled happily, "I've finally found the true partner that the teacher asked me to find. I won't starve anymore, and the teacher isn't even dead. I can't think of anything better than this!"

Baal's stern face seemed to soften a little.

He said in a low voice: "You can think carefully about your oath."

"Huh? Oh, yes, the teacher was talking about the previous question."

Once Baal reminded her, Alulu seemed to think of the oath of the holy warrior.

She didn't take the oath, so she couldn't obtain the sacred power of the oath. As a holy warrior, she should have gone through this process, but she had no idea about it.

Alulu recalled carefully. Bali raised his head and said to Li Ang, "This child's talent seems to be innate."

"I found out." Li Ang smiled.

"Her personality is very similar to the loving goddess you speak of. She is not bound by the dogmas understood by mortals. She is naturally aware of the goddess's true intentions and is beloved by the divine power."

Hearing this, Leon glanced at Gregory. Based on his understanding of religious believers, Baal's words would even be considered blasphemy by some people.

Even if this ancient star soul really experienced the era before the founding of the religion and saw the goddess herself, it would not make sense to the fanatics.

"I feel that although she follows her own temperament, she is free of any impurities. Although it seems strange, the fact that the divine power remains in her means that she is on the right path."

"Over the years, I have come into contact with quite a few divine spells and understand the rules of divine power."

Baal said, "The sources of divine power are nothing more than nature, religious deities, and oaths. In reality, these are all abstract, imaginary objects in the human mind, so divine power stems from faith. The purest divine power can be considered a high-level magic refined by the human spirit."

Leon took a peek at the panel of Lei Xiao Xinghun in the form of an old man. Wow, if Eden looked more like a priest in his human form, and was actually a spellcaster who controlled the power of frost and snow, then Baal was completely the opposite. He was a storm priest through and through, grasping both holiness and storm.

He has a gorgeous panel, and masters a series of holy spells and storm spells. Wind elements and lightning are his specialties.

"You are the fifth saint besides the four saints recorded in the scriptures. No, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the saint of saints who guide the goddess." said the young bishop.

Li Ang couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for you to say that?"

There was always a knight of the faith standing behind Gregory.

"I understand your thoughts. You are worried about whether our faith will be shaken."

"Yes."

The young man smiled and said, "There are many differences within the Watamu religion today, and therefore there are different sects. My own branch is the 'Holy Church'. In addition to receiving the Goddess's glory, we also venerate the saints."

"We place greater emphasis on ordinary people facing hardship with a noble heart, achieving great things, and forging their own divinity through character, rather than relying on the scriptures to misinterpret the will of God and seek personal gain.

"For example, we don't agree with the panic surrounding the Promise Keeping Festival. We hope to allow believers to celebrate freely and peacefully."

The Chongsheng Church claims to value the people more, Li Ang thought.

Gregory must be scolding some other sects, but Leon doesn't understand the Watam religion. In the eyes of the Sky Knight, these people are all the same. Perhaps in the core area of the Watam Theocracy, there will indeed be obvious differences.

"Thus, knowing that the goddess was originally human has actually strengthened my faith. She led people to exterminate demons in the guise of a mortal. She is truly the most sacred being in the world."

Gregory's eyes were filled with enthusiasm as he looked at Baal: "Holy Dragon, Saint, Teacher, you think so too, right?"

"You also call him teacher?" Li Ang asked.

The young bishop looked at Alulu and said, "I was surprised just now. The teacher is kind-hearted. It turns out that it's not just me and Kaladin who are raising orphans. The teacher didn't acknowledge it before."

Gregory pointed in a direction at the foot of the mountain. On the cliff, you could see the small town near Leishan Church.

"Kaladin and I were orphans from the small town and were also raised by teachers. Before Alulu, how should I put it, having a junior sister was quite unexpected."

This guy……

Leon thought that since Zoe was scheduled to come to this island, in the original game, since she wanted to find Baal, she would come to Leishan Church and might also meet this person, so he might still be an SSR card that players can draw.

The same goes for Alulu. The protagonist of the game may meet her in the process of searching for the Star Soul.

The Kaladin he was talking about was the outstanding Knight of the Realm of Defense standing next to him. He noticed Leon's gaze and nodded in greeting.

Baal made a low groan in his throat, like a sigh.

“The number of people I’ve met and then said goodbye to is already too numerous to count.”

He slowly said, "Two thousand years ago, this island was called the Island of Ten Thousand Thunders. It was the place where wind elements gathered. Thunder roared everywhere, making it difficult to build a large city.

"Several calendars ago, I discovered this place in the sky. Since it matched my power, I chose this island, especially the peak with the strongest thunderbolt, as my habitat and transformed it into a star palace."

Baal shook his head. “Until two thousand years ago, a woman passed by this island.”

Xinghun recalls the past as an old man.

The others stood beside Li Ang, listening quietly to the ancient secrets together.

The woman he was talking about was kind-hearted, innocent and straightforward. Perhaps it was precisely because she had no distractions that she had extraordinary strength. She came to this island just to rest, but she already had many followers.

Baal was also reincarnated as a human at that time and met this group of people.

During the reincarnation process, he also traveled to many places as a human being, lived different lives, and interacted with more people. This group of people were just passers-by like in the past. He didn't pay any attention to them and just waited for them to leave.

However, this group of people provoked the bloody devil.

The reason why people follow a woman who is a leader is that she is constantly fighting against demons for them.

Baal, who himself had a history of fighting demons, stepped forward.

Another reason why he showed up was that this woman had great potential and could reach the legendary level.

More than two thousand years ago, there were far more traces of demons in the world than there are now. Baal wanted to continue to destroy them completely, but the demons knew the weaknesses of the Star Soul, and it had been too long since its creation, so its power was getting less and less.

Therefore, he instructed the woman in practicing professional skills and taught her not to rush around with others at random, but to cultivate the capable ones, select those with potential, and then practice and grow with them.

The four saints, Alanfano, Lawrence, Ginuphito, and Zephyrinus were the ones who were finally chosen to serve as secondary leaders and partners in fighting alongside the women.

“They are my friends too,” Baal said.

Over the past few decades, the woman continued to fight and wiped out most of the demon incarnations and traces at that time, but died young due to exhaustion.

It was a turbulent life, which even influenced many parts of Newbis in the next two thousand years, but in the old man's mouth, it was condensed into a plain sentence.

The four companions around her were eventually organized into the earliest followers of the goddess by her followers.

"Zeflinus is also of the bloodline of the God of Power. My previous incarnation was originally named Kinufit, after the Havin. However, I thought it would be more appropriate to give this name to Alulu, so that she would know where her bloodline comes from."

When this star soul was reincarnated, it indeed took turns using the names of the four people. Li Ang thought that he was too lazy to think.

Zoe asked, "What about Alulu?"

"From her babbling in her cradle."

Fine.

Everyone agreed not to continue the topic.

Baal also said that this Saint's Room was built by the earliest believers of the goddess. At that time, they also knew Baal, the secret saint, and at his request, they did not record the location of this stone room.

Because of the battles they had gone through, the bodies of the saints were left with a huge amount of demonic curses. Xinghun wanted to keep guarding Qiyisan. "I'm sorry, the demon's alien spirit was drawn out by my intrusion, and then my curse was aggravated."

"We have to thank you," said Gregory.

Baal pointed at the thorn in Leon's arm and said, "You need to remove it as soon as possible. Whether you're a sorcerer or a spiritcaster, do you have any idea?"

"A little bit."

"My power far surpasses that of the Earth Star Soul and Eden. If you need me, please let the Son of God summon me at any time."

Li Ang thanked him and glanced at the blond boy, and suddenly thought of another thing.

"By the way, that Ernest, you also met him a thousand years ago, right? The sword he gave you—"

Baal raised his hand, tore open the dimensional gap, and took out a rapier from its sheath.

The scabbard is silver-blue and the handle is slender and elegant. As soon as it appears, it transmits strong spiritual fluctuations of lightning and divine power. Without much judgment, you know that it is undoubtedly a top-grade weapon.

The old man handed the sword to Li Ang without much concern.

Ellaphia's delicate little mouth twitched a few times as she asked, "I read in the incomplete documents that this sword was once wielded by a paladin who was the leader of the Wattam Knights."

"That person is also someone I once knew. He needs help, so I lent him this sword." Baal said calmly.

Over the long years, this star soul has formed countless bonds, but has watched them disappear one by one.

Gregory and Kaladin, who should be high-ranking members of a certain sect of the Watamu religion, were also raised by Baal. Not to mention that over such a long period of time, this star soul has left countless traces in the world.

In this case, his severing of his relationship with Alulu was just a habit he had grown accustomed to after repeating it thousands of times.

From this perspective, it cannot be said that he abandoned her, he was just imitating the normal separation of life and death.

Li Ang felt his arm being hit by a soft force again. Alulu seemed to have figured things out. The confusion and panic in her eyes that had been there since she landed on the island had completely disappeared.

"Teacher, I know you had some complaints when you were still alive, but now I completely understand.

"You have met so many heroes and even goddesses. They are all great. You are as important to them as you are to me. But I also want to embark on my own path like them.

"You told me to go find my companions and actually said goodbye to me, so I just need to move on.
