This page is the most core page of the Book of Wisdom. It depicts an angel wrapped in light holding a ball of light in his hands. Under the angel's feet are a pile of broken corpses. Light bursts out from the ball of light and falls down. The corpses are opening their eyes.
Super divine resurrection!
That's right. This page of the Book of Wisdom records the resurrection, one of the ultimate divine arts that mortals can use in legend. It is also a mass resurrection.
He looked at the corpses on the ground with a face full of compassion, stretched out his finger and whispered:
"Life should not be silent, and death will eventually be reversed."
When he said this, the Book of Wisdom in his hand began to emit a milky white light, and the whole book lit up. Strands of white light gathered on the open book.
"In the name of the God of Life and Wisdom, reverse life and death."
His voice became higher and higher. He didn't speak loudly, but when he began to perform this resurrection, it naturally resonated with the laws in the dark, thus producing some extraordinary qualitative changes.
Infinite life force gathered to form a huge angel of light in the sky. The angel gently flapped its wings, and the extremely rich life force gathered into an extremely thick column of light that soared into the sky. The infinite life force made the living people feel like a miracle was coming.
No, this is a miracle in itself. The resurrection technique itself is a miracle technique.
"Resurrection!"
A soul-stirring voice sounded, and the angel of light in the sky broke into streams of light and fell down, injecting into the corpses on the ground. The light of life poured out and submerged the corpses one by one.
Regardless of the enemy, whether it was the enemy who had just died in the battle or the dead on the battlefield not far away, they were all submerged.
At this moment, his four men knelt down and bowed their heads devoutly.
Influenced by this, the two knights and their men beside him also knelt down, looking at the corpse covered by the light of life with shock and expectation.
In just less than ten seconds, a corpse that should have been dead suddenly shook, and everyone's pupils swelled, with expressions of horror and disbelief in their eyes.
"Really alive!"
"Oh my god, this is a miracle, this is a real miracle!"
Alfonso looked up in shock at the shadow of the angel of light that had not yet completely dissipated, and then looked at the enemies who were resurrected one after another. The shock in his heart at this moment was indescribable.
At this moment, an unprecedented thought arose in his mind. He looked up at Lin Xiao, who was holding the Staff of Life in one hand and the Book of Wisdom in the other. He bowed his head devoutly and silently recited the name of the God of Life and Wisdom in his heart.
At this moment, he quickly abandoned the Holy God, who was not devout before, and turned to believe in the God of Life and Wisdom, who he had just seen not long ago.
And the degree of faith increased at an unprecedented speed. In the past, his faith in the Holy God had only reached the level of a pan-believer in his entire life. Now, from the time he heard about the God of Life and Wisdom to now, it has only been less than an hour, and his degree of faith has quickly surpassed the level of a true believer to a devout believer.
When the line of faith was connected, Lin Xiao felt something, but he was not surprised, but took it for granted.
He spent so much money to use this group resurrection technique, not really out of pity and sympathy, the main target was the first heir of the Gibson family, and the others were incidental.
If you want to open up the situation quickly, you must have the support of the lord.
Not only the many people under the lord, but also the lord's military force and the lord's identity are needed to resist the suppression from the Holy Church.
In this world with a unified religion and unprecedentedly powerful religious forces, the struggle between theocracy and royal power has never stopped. The nobles believe in the gods, but are wary of the church. No royal power or nobles will be willing to let the church override their power.
Of course, this is a bit far-fetched, but one thing is certain, the relationship between the noble lords and the Holy Church in this world is not so harmonious.
This gives them an opportunity.
In particular, the Holy Church has hardly shown any miracles, and the priests do not know any serious magic.
Lin Xiao can foresee that even if it is not him, other adventers can overthrow the Holy Church with their own abilities.
Among them, the Church of the God of Life and Wisdom, which can cast magic, will definitely gain the greatest benefit from it.
As for the new dispute between theocracy and royal power after the Holy Church is overthrown in the future, that is a matter for the future, so let's talk about it first.
During this period of contemplation, the life force of the corpses was absorbed into their bodies. The dead woke up one by one and looked around with a blank expression.
Lin Xiao held the scepter in one hand and the book of wisdom in the other. At this time, he still had the remaining life force in his body. In their eyes, he was as sacred and inviolable as a saint who had come to the world. His voice also contained a soul-stirring power:
"The Lord of Life and Wisdom has mercy on you and grants you new life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alfonso Gibson, the eldest son of Baron Gibson, looked up and shouted:
"You should have died, but the great God of Life and Wisdom has mercy on you and performed a great miracle to resurrect you!"
Lin Xiao showed a trace of appreciation. This assist was good.
This sentence seemed to remind these confused warriors of what happened just now. Their eyes quickly became clear, and they almost knelt down and bowed to him at the same time:
"I remember now. It was the great God of Life and Wisdom who resurrected me and saved me from the hands of the God of Death."
"Great God of Life and Wisdom, please accept my humble but pious faith."
Dozens of resurrected people knelt down at the same time. At this moment, more than 20 lines of faith connected with Lin Xiao's mind, and all of them were devout believers.
"Very good, it's worth my huge price!"
He slowly put away the Book of Wisdom. He had just used up all the energy stored in the book by performing this mass resurrection spell. He could no longer perform even the simplest divine spell.
But it was all worth it. There were nearly thirty combatants on both sides, all of whom were full-time warriors. Together with the militiamen who died in the previous battle, there were about fifty on both sides, a total of nearly ninety. Together with the fourteen church knights he had trained before, he could now mobilize nearly a hundred soldiers.
Among them, there were sixteen who had reached the knight rank of this world, thirty-two full-time professional warriors, and more than fifty militiamen.
This strength was not inferior to some weaker baronies. If he prepared for a while, he could confront any baron head-on.
But Lin Xiao had no intention of doing so. In fact, he did not intend to take all these people away. Instead, he asked Alfonso, who had just joined the church, to leave with his men and return to the castle, and he would take the men he had just conquered back with him.
He did not need to find the stone for carving the statue. After knowing his purpose, Alfonso patted his chest and said that he would take care of it.
On the way, Lin Xiao found this group of Gulda's subordinates and asked about the information of Gulda. The strong man who led the team was named Demon. Hearing Lin Xiao's question, he quickly told everything he knew. Lin Xiao was relieved after hearing it.
According to Demon, they were originally wanderers, or robbers, near another lord in the north of Gibson Barony. They met Gulda a month and a half ago. The original leader was killed by Gulda, and they were also conquered by his strong personal strength and regarded him as the new leader. After
taking office, Gulda made drastic reforms. Not only did he change the original way of looting, he also officially occupied a village as a base to settle down, and then began to farm on a large scale, recruiting wanderers or robbers everywhere, and his strength expanded rapidly. The
set of armor they were wearing was prepared for them by Gulda. Demon said that Gulda only had 40 sets of this kind of armor, and he also had these 40 elite professional warriors under his command.
This time, half of them were sent out mainly to rob the Gibson family's mines. Their purpose was to continuously plunder and rob ore and weaken the Gibson family's strength. When it was weakened to a certain extent, they would send troops to attack Gibson Castle and plunder the Gibson family's property.
Then, they would use this mine as a bargaining chip to pay tribute to Earl Dyson, the ruler of this land, and strive to obtain a noble title.
As long as you have a noble title, you will be qualified to fight with other lords and plunder territory.
In this world, as long as you are not a noble lord, no matter how strong you are and how much territory you have robbed, you will not be recognized. Other noble lords are qualified to attack you and rob your territory.
Once you have the status of a noble, you will have reasonable and legal qualifications. As long as you have the ability and as long as your behavior is just, then everything you do is reasonable and legal.
As for what kind of justice this justice is, it is still a matter of words. If you are qualified, are you afraid of not having an excuse?
If Lin Xiao hadn't interfered, Gulda's plan might have succeeded. After all, forty elite warriors with equipment that was far stronger than this world and couldn't even cut through by knights would have no problem killing an ordinary baron.
As for now, I'm sorry.
Half of the forty sets of elite weapons and equipment that Gulda had brought into this plane with great difficulty were taken away by him. Not only did his strength drop greatly, but Lin Xiao also knew about his existence in advance.
Of course, Lin Xiao wouldn't go all the way to deal with Gulda now. It was enough to know that there was this opponent nearby. The most important thing now was to develop himself.
As long as he was strong, it would not take a minute to destroy the opponent.
Back in Forle Village, the more than twenty militiamen brought back were temporarily settled outside the village and reclaimed the fields with the villagers.
This was just a small village. With the productivity of this world, it was not possible to support so many full-time soldiers.
Normally, a small village could only support about ten full-time soldiers at most, and this was the maximum limit. In fact, it was difficult to support even ten.
The Gibson family owns a small town, eight villages, and an iron mine, but can only afford to support more than 40 full-time soldiers and five knights.
Fortunately, he has the magic of summoning food to support it, and he can transfer food through the magic cube of good fortune, otherwise the dozens of elite soldiers he brought back would have to go back to work.
This is the limitation of this plane and this era. The productivity is too low. Even a serious lord does not have many soldiers on hand. The flow of rapid troops does not work in this plane.
