"What a selfish guy!"
The two of them said as they walked up the stone steps.
But as soon as they reached the entrance, they were stopped by guards.
"Stop!"
Aos smiled and stepped forward: "I'm sorry to cause trouble to you, but please rest assured that we are not civilians. We are priests of the Elk Goddess. This is my proof."
He took out a badge from his pocket: "Look, I didn't lie to you."
"What about you?" The guard looked at Jiang Lu.
"I was taught by Maomao." He followed Aos's example and shook Huang Xiu'e: "Look, I didn't lie to you."
"There is no cat religion in Hybril!"
Seeing that the guards were conducting strict checks, Aos quickly explained: "Of course he is also the priest of the Elk Goddess, but he did not bring a certificate today."
"You can't go up without proof!"
The guards were ruthless.
"This..." Oss said in a low voice with embarrassment: "Can I..."
But before he finished speaking, he heard a scream from above.
The next second, a corpse fell from the stone steps dozens of meters above the ground, hitting them right in front of them.
The guard's attention was immediately drawn to the corpse.
"What's going on?" he shouted upward.
Immediately, a guard poked his head out from above and responded: "This bastard pretended to be a priest of the bear god, and I found out!"
Beside him, there was a man in a priest uniform lying on the stone steps looking down, crying.
"Oh! Josh! I shouldn't have listened to you and brought you here!"
The guard above angrily shouted: "Don't cry! You can't run away! I declare that you are no longer a priest of the Bear God! Take his false certificate and get off the divine steps!"
Jiang Lu raised his head and murmured: "It's better than us. At least there is a false evidence."
"What did you just say?" The guard in front of him looked at Os. "What can I do?"
"Oh, it's okay."
Aos pulled Jiang Lu aside.
"Oops, I forgot, the selection of pioneers is about to begin in three days, and the starry sky gate will open in seven days, when the transition from extreme day to extreme night, the control at this time is very strict, and anyone without No one in the priesthood is allowed to step onto the divine steps, let alone enter the central temple and get close to the starry sky gate."
Jiang Lu thought for a moment and calculated the time: "So Li Xiaolu has been freezing to death for half a year, and the dried meat I eat was from half a year ago?"
"Who is Li Xiaolu?"
"unimportant."
"Okay." Aos said apologetically: "Anyway, we can only leave now."
But Jiang Lu suddenly thought: "I have a plan."
"what?"
"I also became the priest of the Elk Goddess. With the priesthood, isn't that enough?"
"But if you want to become a priest, you need a very strict assessment."
"Haha." Jiang Lu smiled contemptuously: "What's so great about a mere priest? I'm a man who can defeat even gods!"
"Really? Then I'll take you to the Elk Temple to give it a try."
After one hour.
"God's power, third level!"
Looking at the five shining characters on the divine power stone tablet, the young man's face was expressionless, with a touch of self-mockery on the corners of his lips. The clenched palms, due to the strong force, caused the slightly sharp nails to pierce deeply into the palms of the palms. , bringing about bursts of heartbreaking pain...
"Jiang Bao, God's power, third stage! Level: elementary!" Next to the God's power stele, an elderly priest took a look at the information displayed on the stele and announced it in a nonchalant tone...
"How could you do that if you're so fucking stupid?"
Jiang Lu was sitting on the steps outside the Elk Temple, and he couldn't figure out why he, a man of heaven who possesses great powers of salvation and whose charm was appreciated by the ancient gods, had the same divine power as ordinary people. a level.
Os, who was sitting next to him, comforted him: "Sometimes talent doesn't determine everything, so don't be too sad."
"No, I have to try again."
The more Jiang Lu thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up and returned to the temple.
Os sighed.
He knew that the Divine Power Stone tested a person's qualifications, that is, potential. Potential could be tapped, but unless everything from body to soul was reshaped, it would not be changed anyway.
Therefore, no matter how many times you try, the result will not change.
Thinking of this, Aos didn't follow up because he didn't want to see his good brother disappointed again.
But just as he was waiting for Jiang Lu to walk out of the temple with a disappointed look on his face for a few minutes, he suddenly heard the excited voice of the old priest from inside.
"The power of God, the true God!"
The word "true god" is not unfamiliar to Os, which means that Jiang Lu's qualifications, if placed before the Black Iron Age, would have been a lower-level god. Even now, he is a spokesperson who can directly talk to the gods.
All in all, it’s very awesome.
Aos immediately wondered if it might be someone else's test result, but this possibility was instantly ruled out because the priest said that Jiang Lu was the only one who tested the divine power today, and after they came out, there were no other people. People have entered the temple.
So he was also stupid.
Can qualifications be changed? How can it be?
"How could you do that if you're so fucking stupid?"
He imitated Jiang Lu and said this, then quickly got up and returned to the temple.
As soon as he entered the temple, he saw Jiang Lu wearing his belt.
"what have you done?!"
Jiang Lu looked back at Os, and pointed to the hole on the divine power stone tablet where he put his arms: "I put xx in."
Ao Si was confused, why would the results of the test be different if he let go and if he let go? Is it possible that you were spelled out?
But soon, he thought of something, and the suspicion in his heart became even more intense. The images of Jiang Lu and that old friend gradually overlapped.
If it were him, it wouldn't be impossible.
As for whether it is true or not, we will find out soon!
At this time, the old priest on the side was wiping cold sweat and repeating to Os in horror:
“It’s horrible, it’s just horrible…”
"Ah, this is indeed a bit scary." Os's expression was very strange: "I am you and I am scared too."
"No! I mean the true god is too scary!" The old priest shook his head: "He can communicate with the Elk Goddess! He can communicate with the Elk Goddess!"
He even asked Jiang Lu whether he was making fun of him and deliberately teasing him when he was tested for the first time.
Seeing the old priest's reaction, Jiang Lu also realized that the evaluation of "true god" was something extraordinary.
He turned back and asked Os, "Can you communicate with the Elk Goddess?"
"I..." Oss hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I can't."
"It seems that I have to fire the first shot." Jiang Lu said regretfully.
"What did you just say? You want to be a priest, right?" The old priest looked excited, and his urgent tone seemed to be afraid that Jiang Lu was going to run away: "Follow me, and I will find someone to handle the procedures for you!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Lu followed the old priest into the back hall in a daze.
Not long after, Jiang Lu came out holding his uniform.
"Priest Aos, take him to the guild and get familiar with the environment."
The old priest said expectantly while giving instructions: "I can't even imagine what the bishop's expression will be like when he comes back from the central temple! Now we can contact the Elk Goddess again! I will tell all the priests the good news in a moment ."
"Uh... okay." Os nodded.
After coming out of the temple, Jiang Lu walked directly towards the central temple.
Ossie stopped him.
"You can't go now."
"Why?" Jiang Lu waved the certificate in his hand: "I am now working with a certificate."
"Didn't I just say it? The recent period has been special, and didn't the priest just say it? The central temple is now filled with priests and followers of various gods. It's no problem to go up, but don't you want to see the Starry Sky Gate? It’s definitely not close.”
Os explained.
"So you have to wait three days no matter what?" Jiang Lu was a little disappointed.
"That's right, but three days passed quickly." Ao Si smiled and reassured: "Didn't I say that I would take you to the symposium? The symposium is held every day, which is a good way to pass the time."
"Oh yes, there is also a symposium." Jiang Lu nodded: "Let's go then."
"Is there any type you're interested in?"
"You still need to ask? When you come to Hybrier, you must be a demi-human girl!" Jiang Lu said matter-of-factly.
Os nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, many of the priests and believers are demi-humans."
"Have a tail."
"Okay, okay, I'll introduce you later."
......
The Elk Goddess's guild is near the temple.
This is a tall castle, much grander than the castles of believers of other gods. This also shows that the status of the Elk Goddess is second to none even in Hyberil, which has many gods with followers.
Most of the priests usually live here. Rather than saying it is a guild, it is actually a relatively complete staff community.
Entering from the first floor, you will see a hall for civilians to pray.
Around the hall are semi-open straight staircases driven by steam engines.
