060. The original desire (1)
On May 32, the day after Talos regained his extraordinary power, the Evelin operated as usual, without hyping up Talos to activate his bloodline or host a banquet for him to return to the professional community.
At this time, Talos was reading the body test report Brenda had just sent with Emma.
The unexpected activation of the bloodline of the ancient ancient universe and the promotion of the first-level bloodline knight did not allow young Naga to ask and inquire from Sandra. Although he didn't know the specific reason, Talos would rather understand it as the broad-minded Black Sea lord who didn't mind his son keeping a little secret.
This somewhat relieved him. Talos couldn't imagine what reason he should be looking for to make excuses when Sandra asked the reason.
His thoughts and tricks are not much different from those on the roadside tricks in the eyes of the Black Sea Lord who has been in charge of the Black Sea for nearly 30 years, and are destined to be full of loopholes.
However, Leonhard issued a confinement order to Talos, and he was not allowed to leave the Evelin without orders.
"I don't want to leave the Evelin even a foot before you can control that desire. I don't want to receive a message from the High Priest Fenrod one day because his son suddenly went crazy on the street and devoured two innocent Nagas alive!"
Talos couldn't say a rebuttal. To some extent, Leonhard's concern was not unreasonable - he was indeed almost a monster under the domination of [gluttony].
Moreover, Talos also knows what Leonhard really is concerned about. Once this abnormal behavior of "selecting people and devouring" is exposed in public, it will definitely attract the attention of the Temple of the Sea.
Being targeted by the elite paladins of the Temple of the Sea is definitely not a good news. Even his identity as the youngest son of the Black Sea Lord cannot allow the group of paladins who engrave the faith of the Ocean Goddess into their blood to open the door to him.
——Paladin is the most special profession of Sainz. He is a part-time clergyman while working as a main blood knight, and is involved in two major profession systems.
Every Paladin is a blood knight carefully cultivated by the temple, and has an extremely pious belief in the gods.
When the faith is pious to a certain extent, and the words and deeds and behaviors confirm the rules and holy laws, and can sense the gods, the gods they believe in will give the seeds of divine power to help these blood knights open up the meditation space and gain the ability to release divine magic.
The bloodline knight who masters the two extraordinary powers of bloodline and divine arts at the same time is the Paladin, which is the principle that every temple in Sainz is used for.
The most important point is that after Talos truly understood the soul fire, he did develop one or two minutes of concern about [gluttony].
When the bloodline of the ancient ancient universe Cang Whale was activated and promoted to the first level of bronze, Talos finally received another piece of information from the soul fire.
This time the information is a bit large.
First of all, there are three ways to grow soul fire, which are refining souls, absorbing faith, and [gluttony].
The problem lies in three ways to strengthen soul fire.
Soul fire is a special flame ignited by sublimating the soul. It is essentially a ball of energy with an surprisingly high level, which is the basis for its ability to refine souls and faith.
However, faith is too magical and advanced for Talos at this stage. After all, even the high gods are competing for it.
The gods manifest miracles in Sainz, build church temples, sow glory, and unite to bring down oracles to fight against all heresy who preach non-god faith...
Everything is for faith.
If you carefully study the history of Siones, it is not difficult to find that behind the many wars that swept the mainland and many ethnic groups in history, there is the same fundamental reason behind the disputes of faith - the disputes of faith.
Compared with the mystery of faith, the importance of its complexity is its power, which originates from the spiritual beliefs of higher intelligence creatures, is actually not as pure as imagined.
Even the most devout saint in the world, there is still a distracting thought in the faith he was born in prayer.
A little distraction may not be anything. When tens of thousands of faiths are added together for years, that power will be very terrifying, enough to corrode the mind and reason of any fifth-level profession!
What's worse is that the beliefs collected by Talos, relying on extreme emotions and reputation are not pure, and in terms of quality, they cannot be compared with the beliefs of the gods.
This means more distractions attached to it.
Even after being calcined by the soul fire, many distracting thoughts are still absorbed by Talos.
As for refining the soul...
The distracting thoughts contained in the soul will only be more than faith, and will not be less than faith.
These distracting thoughts accumulated over time have created [gluttony].
Talos did not know how the gods deal with distractions hidden deep in faith. The method of soul fire is to differentiate these remaining distractions into seven most original desires - [gluttony] is one of them - and then strip them out in some special way to replace the body to bear the erosion of faith.
However, before Talos had enough ability to remove distracting thoughts from his body, the more he borrowed the power of soul fire to improve his strength, the more distracting thoughts he had accumulated in the soul fire; the more distracting thoughts, the more walls of desires, and [gluttony] also rose.
When the power of [gluttony] accumulates to a certain extent, Talos will usher in the counterattack of primitive desires and the riot of soul fire, just like last night.
——This just once again confirms the saying: There is no free lunch in the world.
Talos should be glad that the soul fire absorbed three waves of faith and grew a lot, and what he swallowed was the snake, chicken, beast gallbladder that happened to play a positive role in blood vessel activation, allowing the blood of the ancient Cang Whale in the Ming Dynasty to be activated in advance by accident.
Otherwise, without the stimulation of pain, his soul would have long been sinking into desire and become a monster dominated by [gluttony] and can only swallow flesh and blood.
It was such an unsolvable cycle, Talos thought depressedly.
The deadly condition of the soul fire extinguishing and welcoming death limits that Talos must use the power of [gluttony] or refine the soul and absorb faith to maintain the operation of the soul fire.
Putting aside this deadly condition, things are also not optimistic.
After tasting the quickest way to use soul fire to improve strength, no one will give up this shortcut, even if they know the consequences.
So is Talos.
From the fourth level of Black Iron to the first level of blood knight, without the help of Soul Fire, young Naga may take ten years for normal Naga, but with the help of Soul Fire - refining souls and absorbing faith through overeating!
Talos can no longer give up his soul fire!
The only thing that is fortunate is that the seven original desires that are accumulated from distracting thoughts will not awaken the second one before one is stripped away. Otherwise, Talos would not dare to imagine the scene where [gluttony] and [greed] influenced his rationality at the same time.
"Glut eating, jealousy, laziness, anger... are all fine, but what should I do when Yin Yu counterattacks?"
