"Typhiro..."
Elphis Sulk took a deep breath and looked sideways at the man next to him who had been friends with him for several years and was a member of the Dawn God but was full of satisfaction. The young man with a crooked mind said: "Actually, there is something I have wanted to ask you a long time ago."
Tifilo blinked, and then immediately bowed ninety degrees to Elifes. He said with a heavy face: "I'm sorry! But I really don't like you!"
"..."
I have always been gentle and cheerful, enthusiastic and cheerful, informal, positive and sunny. Teacher Elphis bit her silver teeth lightly, and two veins suddenly appeared on her forehead. She stared gloomily at the apologetic kid in front of her. After struggling mentally for more than ten seconds, she finally couldn't hold it back and kicked her. passed.
"Oops!"
Tiphilo, who had a small shoe mark on his chest, exclaimed, and then he jumped away from Elephis with a clean jump, and said angrily: "So vicious If you don’t get it, you’ll destroy it, right?”
The vicious woman glared angrily at the bastard with wide eyes and righteous words two meters away, gritted her teeth and said: “What I want to ask is , How did you, a deviant brat, become a member of the Dawn God! Even your goddess can’t punish you!"
Tiffero clapped his hands lightly and said cheerfully. : "Hey, I thought you were going to say something, just like this? It's simple, Effie, do you know the specific meaning of the word 'god's favor'?"
Elphis Liu frowned slightly, thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know, you also know that I study the knowledge of the undead. In the past, I encountered things related to your religion and it was too late to hide. How could I study some gods?" The meaning of dependents.”
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I don't think you can get the correct answer even if you study a lot."
Tifilo grinned, spread his hands and said: "Because these two words have no special meaning at all. , the word "god favored" has only a literal meaning from the beginning, that is - a person favored by God."
Elphis looked at Tifilo suspiciously and said angrily: "You are not like this. Nonsense."
"This is not nonsense."
Tiffero raised his index finger and shook his head, and explained in a brisk tone: "You must know that all religions are... ...at least nominally, they all revolve around gods. In other words, 'gods' have the final right to interpret everything. It's just different from those secular empires and compared to visible and tangible dictators. , the Lord doesn’t care about most of the actions of us clergy.”
Ellipis stared at His Royal Highness the Holy Son for a long time before repeating in a calm voice: "You don't care?"
Tifiro nodded and smiled: "That's right, as long as you always maintain As long as you have not completely deviated from those seemingly complicated but actually extremely loose dogmas, then no matter if you are dating ten girls at the same time, stealing all your adoptive father's private money, or spying on you day and night. It doesn't matter to me if someone else is taking a shower or having a pleasant chat with a necromancer who should be labeled a 'blasphemer'."
"But..."
Elphis sipped. He pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "At least in my view as a necromancer, many priests are indeed a bit... uh..."
"Devil-minded?"
Typhiro casually said this word that was difficult for Elephis to say, and said with a smile: "It is indeed true, but it is not actually the Lord's instruction, but a kind of self-discipline derived from doctrine. Many People are like this. When they start to restrain themselves, they are often more extreme and crazy than when they are restrained by others. Crazy, and... My dear friend, you should know very well how rare a harmless necromancer like you is, as well as those black magicians and demonic sorcerers of the same type, so in most cases, they are indeed They are the so-called 'blasphemers' and are the destabilizing factors of this world."
Although he is a necromancer, Elephis nodded in agreement after hearing these words: "Indeed, if some blind bastard digs out my grandmother's ashes for experiments, Then I will definitely fight him to the death!”
Tiffero blinked with interest! Eyes, curious: "What desperate method?"
"Use my grandpa's ashes to reshape the bones."
Ellipis waved her fist vigorously and said loudly: " He must protect his own woman! I will let him avenge his wife with his own hands!”
Tiphilo raised his eyes and looked at Elephith, who looked serious, and said with a smile: "I take it back, you are definitely not a harmless person."
" If you ask me to tell you, you are just hypocritical.”
Ellipis rolled her eyes. , said angrily: "A person is dead when he dies. If grandpa's spirit in heaven knows that I use his ashes to protect grandma, he will definitely be very happy. As a result, it turns into blaspheming the deceased when it comes to many people's mouths. It's really inexplicable. Press If this is the case, then no one should eat it. Meat, why are you okay if you eat wild boar meat to make bone soup, but we are hostile if we use wild boar bones to summon an undead creature?"
Tifilo chuckled and shrugged: "I completely agree? Your opinion, Ms. Sulk, but you have to know, like There are very few clergymen who are as transparent as me, so if you, a future student, plan to put this sentence in your graduation thesis, as a friend, I hope you will make sure to distance yourself from that little fool."
“You are so annoying.”
Elifes took out the (boar) bone cane from her cuffs and tapped Tifilo's head lightly, humming: "Don't go off topic, let's get down to business."
"Okay, okay, say it. Let's get down to business."
Tiphilo shrank his neck and continued calmly: "Actually, what I want to express is very simple, that is, in most cases, God will not pay attention to the words and deeds of believers. , only some particularly heinous and deviant heretical behaviors will trigger divine punishment, but this kind of divine punishment is only targeted at ordinary believers."
Eliphis's reaction was not slow, and he immediately heard the words. Asked: "What about you favored by God?"
"We are favored by God as many as we want. As I said just now, in the final analysis, favored by God is actually a person who is favored by God in a literal sense. ”
Tiphilo smiled casually and smiled very reservedly: "Compared to other believers, God favors us more. Not only that, he is also willing to devote extra energy to watching us, but other believers do not have this kind of treatment. Well, take our Dawn Sect as an example. If God would look at every believer equally, then she would have gone crazy thousands of years ago. "
Elphis twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a subtle expression: "I kind of believe it. After all, if other Dawn believers open their mouths, their gods may go crazy for some reason, then he will. Now he may have been punished by God and sent to see the Lord.”
Tiffero nodded vigorously in agreement, and then continued to explain. : "So in the final analysis, the so-called divine punishment is actually a very cold 'mechanism'. This mechanism has nothing to do with God's will, but is based on the 'doctrine' recognized by God as the basic logic, and automatically punishes those who seriously violate the doctrine." A punitive measure that takes effect on everyone who has a connection with the gods through faith.”
Elifes. He gently pinched his eyebrows, nodded and said: "You continue, I can probably keep up."
"No problem, in short, based on what I just said, we can understand it as 'divine punishment' It is a power of the gods, just like those knights at the level of great lords who will automatically activate their fighting spirit when attacked.”
Tiphilo chuckled and said triumphantly: "But the favored ones are different. Because we are favored by the gods, we will not be punished by the cold punishment mechanism of the gods. In other words, because the gods will always punish us. A part of the consciousness is watching us, so we can stop divine punishment before it occurs at any time. In other words, only when God thinks that the favored by God should be punished, the favored by God will be punished by God. But since we are favored by God, Naturally, it is easier to obtain the Lord's tolerance and understanding, so..."
Elphis interrupted him angrily and snorted: "So people like you can rely on God to treat you. Isn’t it bullshit?”
“In principle, yes.”
Tifolotian nodded shamelessly and raised his eyebrows: “But I think the mind can be as active as mine. After all, there are only a few people who are favored by God.”
Elphis made a face at Tifilo and complained: “If you ask me, you just have a bad character.”
"Whether you have a bad personality or you don't stick to trivial matters, in short, the God's Favored One is so willful."
Tifiro looked into Elifes's eyes and said softly: "So Margaret must be fine. , If she becomes a descendant of the Dark Goddess and a saint of the Dark Night Sect, then she will only be better off if she is destined to be held in the palm of countless people's hands." Ellipis was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile. So you went all this way, just to comfort me not to worry too much about Margaret?”
“Yes”
Tiffero said bluntly. He affirmed the other party's speculation without hesitation and said with a smile: "You are different from Shamar, me, and Margaret. You are the type who likes to think about everything in more ways and in more complex ways, and always likes to worry about others. Even if I tell you simply and clearly that not only will Margaret not suffer, but she will even live a good life, but you may not take it seriously. I know you, so I know very well that you will definitely feel sad because of the last period of time with Margaret. The person I was with was myself, but I blamed myself for not being able to prevent the latter from disappearing.”
Ellipis looked away and no longer looked at Tifilo, and said dullly: "Then... your goal has been achieved, and I feel much better now."
"That's good. "
Tiffero showed a refreshing and bright smile, took off his non-existent hat and bowed to Ellipis: "In that case, please allow me to leave first, after all, I am popular. It's okay to be missing for two or three days. If I sneak out for too long, I'm afraid that the brother who helped me cover will be nailed to a cross."
"Wait a minute!"
“Huh?”
"Well, um, Luke..."
He stopped the other party without thinking, but Elephis, who didn't know what to say, opened her mouth, and after a while she said: "If you see Margaret again in the future, I mean...if the Dark Saint is really our friend, what...will you do?"
"Is it important what I will do?" "
"Very important"
"Okay, then I will ask her to bake me another cookie, and if possible, I hope she can write to the missing Shamar. , teach her the secret of baking snacks.”
"Pfft, that's it?"
"Well, this is what I would do."
"Ah...and..."
"Well, I Listening.”
“You haven’t given up on that wish yet, have you?”
"Look at what you said, everyone has to have some dreams, right? For a genius like me, a challenging goal is really hard to come by."
"I...even though I gave up in the past , but... after everything is on track, I want to continue to study those topics while teaching. Of course, I will just do a little research in my spare time. Just wait for my letter without any expectations. Maybe I can Give you some Maybe some inspiration and help.”
“Thank you, it would be great if you wouldn’t force yourself.”
“There’s no need for you to meddle, I just don’t like to give up halfway. Whether it’s the secret of the Eternals or the logic of the formation of the natural lich, I will definitely find it out!”
“Okay, then I will wait for your results without any expectations.”
"Well, and..."
"It's so annoying, why do you talk so much, are you so reluctant to let go of my handsome face?"
"Go, go, who cares about your ugliness? Face."
"Okay, okay, please tell me, Ms. Sulk, who is aesthetically deformed."
"You..."
"Me?"
"You should have seen it when you came here. Although the overall style of our college is relatively gloomy, it is full of beautiful men who are melancholy and cold. Although I don't have a partner yet, but in the future What if you fall in love with one of them..."
"I understand, I understand! No problem, no problem! I am also the Holy Son of the Dawn Sect. If you don't like anything else, if you like this poor place. What kind of heresy is that? Write me a letter again. Luke Tefero can guarantee that if that unscrupulous man dares to reject you, he will be caught in the Capital of Light the next day and nailed to the cross at the highest point of the Dawn Cathedral. What? When did you promise and when did you let it go?"
"Pfft, you are the Holy Son and not the Pope, how can you be so powerful?"
"You don't believe that the Holy Son is so capable? ”
"Don't believe it."
"Okay, then Luke Tifilo assures you that for you, my best friend Ms. Elephith Sulk, even though I am a person who is particularly afraid of trouble, this I will definitely be the Pope of Dawn who can crucify the man you like and make him cry out that he wants to marry you."
"Hey, then it's a deal? My Majesty Tephiro."
"It's settled, my lady."
"Okay, then go back and save your friends, I have nothing else to do. Say it.”
...
“Tiphilo?”
Rubbing her eyes, the girl suddenly discovered that the boy who was standing in front of her just now had quietly disappeared.
Visually, it was at the moment before my eyes turned red.
After a brief silence, Elephis Sulk suddenly burst into laughter——
"Look, you knew from the beginning that I am actually the kind of fool who would just give up even if I don't get it..."
