Chapter 41: Divine Artifact: Lament of the Frozen Soul
Following three meters behind Odin, Reinhardt slowly walked out of the underground chamber.
At the main entrance of the great hall, Merlin, carrying a bottle of good wine in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, was sitting on a small rocking chair and drinking to himself. Hearing the sound of the temple door opening, Merlin smiled and raised his head, ''Ah, Honorable Elder Lord, have you ...... completed the task I entrusted you with? Reinhardt proved his strength and his potential, he is the person we favor for the future to take on important responsibilities, and must have the strength to match in order to survive in this demonic cave of London yet."
Odin slowly pulled off his hood, revealing his pale face, and said indifferently, "Lord Merlin, look at my appearance, are you still not satisfied? Damn it, this kid actually possesses so many superpowers, in order to suppress the superpowers in his body, so that my divine power can be smoothly infused into it, I've spent at least twenty percent more of my divine power!"
Several clerics dressed in black slowly emerged from the dark species, grasping a scepter in their hands, a turquoise light shot out from it and swept over Odin's body. Odin shivered a few times and almost went soft on the ground. Merlin nodded in satisfaction and laughed loudly, ''That's right, Elder Odin, you did spend a great deal of effort. Well, the gods will remember your achievements! After you atone for what you did back then, perhaps, you will be forgiven by the gods."
Odin rolled his eyes, not even bothering to look at Merlin.
Merlin shook his head and laughed softly, "Alright, take Elder Odin to rest. After I give Reinhardt a few words of explanation ...... Well, we'll be rushing back to New New York immediately."
Odin pulled his hood back up, his entire body lost in his black robes, and wordlessly followed several black-clad clergymen out. Merlin stood up, casually placed the bottle and glass on the arm of the reclining chair, and very carefully surveyed Reinhardt, whose face was as normal as ever, and nodded with satisfaction, "Reinhardt, how do you feel? By now, you should understand the pleasure that power can bring? Oh, what a pity, I am not fit to cultivate divine power, even if I let them imbue me with it, my body, alas!"
Sighing leisurely, Merlin looked at Reinhardt and asked, "That fellow, didn't he cast certain magic on your body? Didn't he chant incantations during the transfer of divine power?" He explained with a bit of exasperation, "These elders are rarely willing to have someone on the sidelines when they imbue someone with divine power. Hmph, yet they are careful, but they don't realize that if I really want to do something to them, what can they do with such a little wariness?"
Reinhardt nodded and said respectfully, "Teacher, during the transmission of divine power, I was awake the entire time, and Elder Odin didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Well, I feel great now, it seems like every hair is full of power, I even feel like I can destroy a mountain peak with one punch! 嗯...... "Reinhardt's a bit hesitant, seeming to be a bit indecisive, but he quickly found a new topic: "This time, to be praised so much by my teacher and to accept so many rewards, my heart is really uneasy. "

Merlin also no longer ask the process of transmission of divine power, the opposite of six hundred years, these gods captured by them did not have the slightest difference in the quiet, always whether the old vain practice of divine power, and then to the clergy of the court of God to instill divine power. They may be quiet enough to assassinate the Pope, but they will never waste their energy on a person of Reinhardt's stature, even if he's not the White Church.
Gently tapping Reinhardt's shoulder, Merlin led him slowly up the tunnel that pointed diagonally towards the ground.
A high, deep voice, like the moaning of an ancient ghost, haunted Reinhardt's ears. "O Reinhardt, your most outstanding disciple. My education in the God's Nest should have made me realize the truth that the inferior and the superior are different. Superiors, such as those high-ranking Knights of the Flame of Light or clergymen, they fight and bleed, even if they pay the price of their lives, can they not see that they can be rewarded by the Divine Court, they do not see that they can be rewarded."
"Whereas a superior, such as a genius like you, and a disciple of my Merlin, then even if you don't make any contribution, when we feel that we should give you a reward, you will definitely be rewarded. Because you're a genius, you're a person chosen by God, you're a natural superior, and you're even more of a disciple of my Meilin, then what's so strange about you getting any reward?"
"This time, the merit I set up, false in whether or not it's amazing to the extreme, you know? Those White Darkness creatures that I eliminated, if you wanted to clean them up with your divine Court's Void power, you would need to send out at least a squadron of low-rank Light Flame Knights! And I, a child who has just left the Divine Nest, who has not received divine power infusion, who has not received any special combat training ...... Well, I'm only seventeen years old, indeed I'm still a child, and I actually eliminated such a small number of White Darkness creatures! Is this a remarkable feat?"
Merlin kindly looked at Reinhardt, gently applauded and said, "This is the merit, this is your seniority, and even more so, because of my vigorous advocacy, that's why the Dark Hall's Elder Council, agreed to send out the mighty Elder Odin to infuse you with the divine power, and raise you directly to the limit of what you can achieve nowadays- The strength of the White Holy Church. Reinhardt, I believe that you won't let me down, and that you will make even greater performances, won't you?"
Reinhardt stopped on his feet and came up with a deep bow, "Biased as you said, you will work harder."
Merlin's face showed a look of immense admiration and triumph, like that of an expert entertainer looking at his most outstanding work. "That's right, make more contributions, that's what I expect from you, that's what the Dark Temple Elders Order expects from you, and even more so, that's what my four elder brothers, the four Grand Elders of the Dark Temple Elders Order ranking in the top four, expect from you!"
His left hand flipped over, and a long sword with a strange light, no more than four feet long, the palm of a person's hand is narrow, oddly thin than nearly transparent, and the whole body is shrouded in a layer of thick cold air appeared in Mei Lin's hand. He casually handed over the long sword to Reinhardt, said with a light heart: "This is not a god given artifact, the smallest nine artifacts in the court of God's power has the most no broken good power of one, compared to An now have no broken magic halberd, have no broken good power is even more horrifying! ...... Its full name is 'The Favor of the Lowest God - Lament of the Frozen Soul'! Legend has it that it was forged by the Most Low God himself."
With an odd expression showing on his face, Merlin sighed as he looked at the nearly transparent hilt that was held tightly by Reinhardt, and said in a low voice, "Don't use it lightly, unless in the event that your life is under direct threat ...... Well, this sword's power is so great that even the souls of the lower-ranked gods, will be He freezes, of course, this requires you to utilize all of its power. However, it's also enough, enough for you to keep your little life well in the remaining four years or so of your term!"
Standing on his tiptoes, he gave Reinhardt's head a heavy, drowningly hateful stroke, and Merlin's eyes flickered with no very dangerous light, "I've done something very, very bad this time! Can it be, it would be too conspicuous, so, you do your best to let me increase the virtual power, also whether to protect my safety, Reinhardt!" Merlin stretched out his left index finger, poked Reinhardt's heart with a condensed light, and said in an unusually serious manner, "My merits this time were already enough to have me demoted to a minor bishop of a small European diocese before the division and merger directly five years ago!"
"So, for the remaining four years or so of your term as Liaison Officer, your only task is to protect yourself! Leave your life behind and wait to serve the Divine Court better later! You might as well act a bit more mediocre, don't get in touch with Hyde too much, and don't dabble too much in missions related to the dark forces. Well, since you're now an agent of Military Intelligence, play that role well, that's enough!"
Merlin smiled hotly and said in a loud voice, "As long as I do a bad job under the position of liaison officer, coordinating the opening between the bad parish and the British government, that would be whether or not it's a very small credit. Add down my great achievement of eradicating so few white dark creatures this time, it is enough for me to become the head of the European diocese before five years as a matter of course! At that time, perhaps, you can get me the title of a Cardinal Bishop of the Holy Church, add the power of the diocese under my control, and I will become a minor figure of importance in the Divine Court!"
Slapping Reinhardt's shoulder fiercely, Merlin said with two glowing eyes, "A big shot, a big shot who can decide with a single word whether many lives will disappear or not, whether they will exist or not! Big shots that can influence the distribution of power in the Divine Court, so, Reinhardt, we gave you the Lament of the Frozen Soul, one of the four artifacts in the possession of the Dark Temple Elders, and gave the heaviest Demon Breaking Halberd to An, just because we hope you guys can protect yourselves very well. Hmph, wait until five years later ......"
While Merlin's eyes flickered, Reinhardt asked him if he was very concerned, "So, honored teacher, where exactly did the threat go from outside? The White Darkness forces? Or ......"
Glancing deeply at Reinhardt, Merlin was careful to lower his voice, "Oh, my dearest apprentice, the most dangerous blow often comes from your side. Hmph, look, from behind, a sneaky stab in, hmph!" Merlin gestured a gesture of stabbing himself in the kidney area with a dagger, and said with a gloomy face, "Let's say this time, the twelve high-ranking Light Flame Knights who protected you were the mid-level officers that our Dark Temple had easily controlled within the Light Flame Legion, but they were actually taken out without a word!"
Grabbing a trace of beard and stuffing it outside his teeth, quickly slicing his beard with his teeth, Merlin said without a bit of grimace, "May as well tell me a little bit of insider information, those twelve Knights of the Light Flame before they were finished off, although, underneath the surface of your face you pretended to be unconcerned, it is true that the twelve Knights of the Light Flame are not worth pitying! Can they command the force of the Divine Court that is not forty of the hundred of the English Diocese! Now, the vacancies of those twelve unlucky ones have been taken over by those sent by the Pope!"
Cursing a bit exasperatedly, Merlin cursed in a low voice, "That idiot Hyde, he actually dispatched people of real power to be your bodyguards!!!! The London Diocese has an extremely large number of experts, and he actually dispatched a few big heads of the local Divine Court Garrison to protect you! This damned fellow, if I knew that he was doing this intentionally, I'd guarantee that his entire family would be purified!"
Merlin looked even more terrifying than the good demon from that heavenly prison at the moment, and he pressed his voice up to growl angrily, "Is he not also your disciple, he embezzled, you covered for him; he *** male religious, you helped him cover for him; he utilized the Divine Court's funds to lend at a low interest rate, and you even dispatched the Arbiter of the Dark Temple to help him collect the debt, because after all, you also shared a share of the income! Can he actually make such a mistake, so that your Dark Palace's power in Europe was not greatly damaged in one go, if he is unintentional or not, you will absolutely purify the family members that he has nothing to do with!"
The muscles in his face throbbed wildly as Merlin hissed in a low voice as if he were a rat with its tail cut off, "Don't think that just because he keeps a few of his lovers and illegitimate children on small islands in Africa as well as in the Caribbean that he can hide them from me! What don't I know? I know everything! Heck, Hyde's eldest daughter is even a little beauty, do you think I don't know that?"
Reinhardt looked at the pugnacious Merlin, and with no point of trepidation took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Hush, teacher, is this outside the parish of London. You, you have plainly hacked your will, you will never make any mistake."
Merlin raised his eyes, stared deeply at Reinhardt, and whispered, "Are you sure you understand my words?"
Reinhardt looked to his right and left, and said with great care, "Of course, today you began to be completely clear and black! You will be big-hearted to go since the sneak attack in front of the back, meanwhile ...... long live the Dark Temple Elders!" Reinhardt bowed deeply up.
Merlin's dried face was full of smiles, he gently patted Reinhardt's shoulder and whispered, "Everything is for the honor of the supreme god Well, but some damned guys, humph, if they weren't them ...... use your spiritual power to feel the lament of the frozen soul and let it dissolve into your body. This can be much safer. Well, remember, don't expose any suspicious traces, honestly do your job as a liaison officer, and don't pay any attention to those things in Hyde."
Pursed his lips and laughed, Merlin high and heavy cursed to: "If you let you know, Hyde fake even without a little bit of ill intent, you will let him front regret ...... Reinhardt, I whether the teacher's most outstanding and the most trusted disciple, do not let the teacher you disappoint! When the old Merlin does not die in, the power in your hands, always have to choose the most reliable people to inherit."
Deadly staring at Reinhardt, Merlin asked, "Do you understand? Sooner or later, the power in our hands will become your power. Therefore, you have to seriously work for our interests! But right now, you've done a great job, you've wiped out so many dark creatures, it's enough. Now, to use a Chinese idiom, you need to 'bao guang yang yi' (in Chinese), well, that is, collect the edges and corners of your body, and take this liaison officer job seriously."
The longsword in his hand swung heavily, the longsword which was heavy as something to tear the air, but became heavy and light than, this artifact, really magical than. Reinhardt respectfully said: "No, you Minghei, you everything Minghei! Everything is for the glory of the lowest god, everything is for the glory of the gods!"
Merlin stretched out his parched right palm and clasped Reinhardt's hand, grinning dryly, "Remember, my little Reinhardt, when you pray in the future, pray for the protection of the God of Wisdom!" He smiled grimly, "The glory of the Most High God overshadows all, and any decision of the Most High God has the glimmer of the unrivaled mind of the God of Wisdom. To the glory of the God of Wisdom!"
Reinhardt nodded, suddenly realizing that the lament of the frozen souls under his hand had become heavier and lighter than it should have been, falsely biased and very much so, as bad as the palm of Merlin's hand held in his hand.
