If the sublimation of the soul under the teachings of the Madonna only made Matthew understand the true meaning of great mercy and set up an ideal. Then, the matter of converting Lun completely strengthened his belief in the doctrine of the Madonna of Mercy.
His soul had sublimated again.
He had now crossed the angel rank and was promoted to the second level of the Archangel.
In terms of the wizard's level of practice, he was a demigod who had comprehended his own divinity.
Yes, Matthew, the Paladin, had divinity, and it was not from the Madonna. On the contrary, the Madonna got the same amount of new divinity as Matthew — the divinity of mercy.
The night before, when Big Black suddenly contacted Danny and told her about the divinity of mercy, she was more surprised than happy.
The true Madonna only had the "divinity of the Madonna" that came with the Madonna's priesthood, but there was no specific divinity of mercy.
The Madonna's priesthood came from the "imagination" of the believers, and the divinity of the Madonna was also what the believers thought the Madonna should be. It was different from the divinity of mercy that Matthew himself had comprehended.
It was more than innovation.
The priesthood was essentially knowledge, similar to the god's talisman in the world of Xianxia.
If a person who knew nothing got the priesthood of the Water God, he could make clouds and rain. But once his Water God's talisman was taken away, he would become a mortal who knew nothing again.
If the person who knew nothing understood the divinity of the Water God during his time as the Water God, he would still have the ability of the Water God even if he lost the talisman.
Before Big Black lost the priesthood of the Madonna, he was beaten back to a stupid black dragon. Now that he had a part of the divinity of mercy and lost the priesthood of the Madonna, he could change his name to "Buddha" or "Bodhisattva."
Because he had the divinity of the Bodhisattva.
It was Matthew who comprehended the divinity, but the Madonna also had the same divinity.
Reaping without sowing.
This was one of the benefits of the gods keeping believers.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Matthew even gave his mark of life to the Madonna Danny. What was divinity compared to the mark of life?
To put it in a simple sentence: I can give up my life, let alone the worldly possessions.
But divinity was knowledge. Matthew gave his "knowledge" to the Madonna, but he would not lose his "knowledge."
This was different from the divinity plundering between gods. The reason was very simple. Gods were different individuals, and believers were only a part of the gods.
An "angel-level" believer like Matthew was completely a god. If they did not have such a deep relationship, he would not have become an angel with a demigod soul.
It sounded a little cruel, but this was faith.
You even gave your life imprint to the gods. Are you still an independent person?
What are you thinking!
.....
Speaking of which, why did Matthew's soul sublimate again?
Could it be that he was a masochist and had an epiphany after being cut by You Lun?
Matthew was a normal person with no special fetishes.
Even if he had a special hobby, the Church of the Seven Gods was not a cult created by the Goddess of Lust. The Church of the Seven Gods was not a cult.
Followers of some strange religions may comprehend the divinity of masochism due to masochism, but they would never comprehend the divinity of compassion.
When Saint Matthew returned to the Great Cathedral that afternoon, he was actually very depressed because he failed in his first practice of the Madonna's doctrine of compassion.
It was a complete failure. Not only did You Lun not get converted, but he also showed signs of being possessed by the devil.
Matthew was a normal person. Of course, he would be depressed when he failed until someone came.
Randall Tarly came to the Great Cathedral of Baylor alone in the evening and found the archbishop.
At first, Matthew thought he was here for Cersei. He shook his head and sighed. "Cersei is addicted to power. I have tried my best.
At another time, I can guide and convert her a second or third time, but I have to lead hundreds of thousands of believers south to Storm's End in a week. I don't have time. "
"Plop!" Randall Tarly knelt in front of Matthew and shook his head. "I didn't come to the cathedral today for Cersei. I saw the process of you persuading You Lun this afternoon.
Your words, your behavior, and your practice of the Madonna's spirit of sacrifice have shocked me.
I don't want to lie to you.
The Madonna's doctrine of compassion only shocked me, but it did not resonate with me.
But the terrible experience in King's Landing over the past few years, and the death of my eldest son, Dickon, and the fact that the Long Night threatens the survival of mankind have made me tired and confused.
And your actions have greatly encouraged me.
You are not afraid to sacrifice the spirit of the Madonna's doctrine, and the miracles you have shown me have helped me out of my confusion and find hope for the future.
Hope is the warrior (one of the Seven Gods) that I have believed in all my life!
I may not be able to understand the Madonna's compassion, but I can practice the warrior's courage. "
After explaining his motive, Randall said seriously, "I am willing to give up my identity, status, and family in the mortal world and dedicate the rest of my life to the church. Please let me join the Warrior's Sons!"
Saint Matthew was stunned and asked uncertainly, "You don't want to be the Hand of the King? What about the Horn Hill and the Riverbend Army? "
It was no wonder that he was shocked. In thousands of years of church history, this was the first time that the Hand of the King had directly become the Warrior's Sons.
"I wrote a letter of resignation and left it with the Hand of the King's seal in the Red Castle. The Horn Hill soldiers will join the church with me, but they will only participate in the Battle of the Long Night. They are not part of the church's armed forces, unless some of them voluntarily join the Warrior's Sons or the Constellation Warriors (the Assembly of the Poor).
As for the Riverbend Army, they will return to the Riverbend Army, join the church with me, and continue to serve the Iron Throne. "
Randall had been in a bad mood recently. He was full of despair and uncertainty about the future.
And the fact that Saint Matthew did not die even though he courted death in the court made him realize that the Mother of God was awesome, the Church was awesome, and the monks of the Church, such as the Great Sparrow, the Dragon Queen, and Saint Matthew, were all outstanding and determined.
The church was a good place to go!
Being a missionary was a good career.
Especially Saint Matthew.
Randall did not think much of the Madonna's compassion, but Saint Matthew's persistence and actions touched him deeply.
The church now was no longer the rotten organization that the archbishop used to deceive little boys. It was no longer a weak organization that never revealed its true miracles.
The church now had monks who kept themselves clean, persisted in their ideals, and were not afraid of sacrificing themselves. They had miracles that were revealed to people every few days, and they had powerful supernatural powers.
Compared to the Iron Throne now …
To be honest, Randall looked down on the Dragon Queen. Because she was a woman, because she was independent, because she was not Westeros.
But compared to the Dragon Queen, Cersei, You Lun, and Stannis were nothing!
The Iron Throne would not be able to save the world. The ones who could end the King of Deviant Ghosts and dispel the darkness must be the Seven Gods.
With this understanding, Randall Tarly's choice to join the church was logical.
And Randall Tarly was just the beginning.
Saint Matthew baptized Randall immediately and personally helped him put on a colorful cloak (not a rainbow).
The white knight's cloak was pure white, and the red knight's cloak had a flaming red heart pattern. The colorful cloak was one of the symbols of the Warrior's Sons.
The former commander of the Warrior's Sons, Sir Theodore, also took the initiative to step down and give the position of commander to the famous general of the Seven Kingdoms, Randall Tarly. He was willing to be his deputy.
The news of Randall Tarly leading the Jialing soldiers to join the Warrior's Sons spread. That night, more than twenty great nobles came to Saint Matthew and applied to join the Warrior's Sons.
They were also believers of the Seven Gods. In the Holy Church Hall, facing Saint Matthew and the statues of the Seven Gods, they all said their heartfelt words, "Matthew, you're too awesome. You sacrificed yourself to overcome the demons, stabbed the heart, cut the chicken to continue, ten feet eight golden body, and broke the evil with divine palms. You've really opened the eyes of us muggles who haven't seen the world.
The story of Buddha cutting his flesh to feed the eagle and sacrificing his life to feed the tiger convinced believers mainly because Buddha could not die after cutting his flesh and sacrificing his life.
Immortality was the key.
If one day, you saw a report on the news: A man died in Lop Nur, a camera was left at the scene, and some of his bones were gnawed by beasts. The police found a video in the camera's memory card. The video was taken by the man before his death.
In the video, the man said that he met a wolf that was dying of starvation. He only had instant noodles with him, and the wolf did not eat them.
I couldn't bear to see the wolf starve to death, so I decided to sacrifice myself to feed it.
What do you think?
— — This is a psychopath.
— — Cherish life, stay away from forbidden areas.
— — God, it's the mysterious Lop Nur. There must be a strange magnetic field that interferes with his thoughts and makes him hallucinate.
Different people had different opinions, but absolutely no one respected him as Buddha.
Not everyone was qualified to sacrifice themselves to feed the tiger.
If Saint Matthew was stabbed to death by You Lun, then he was a big idiot.
If he didn't die, then it was a miracle, a sacrifice, and a practice of the Mother of Mercy.
Rando and the nobles who joined the Sons of Warriors were all witnesses of Matthew's demonic sacrifice. In the end, they became the white doves in the story of the Mother of Mercy.
Saint Matthew found that he had not failed. He reenacted the story in the Bible, and his compassion for the Mother of Mercy's teachings became more firm.
His soul sublimated and became an archangel.
He continued to work hard. The next day, he went to Erlu's camp and used his fearless spirit to influence Erlu and the red-robed woman.
Well, he didn't even let go of Melisandre.
In Erlu's tent, in front of countless people, Matthew looked at Erlu with pity and love and said, "Poor child, you have lost your way. I can feel your pain. Your body is in the human world, but your soul has fallen into hell."
Although he was dressed in coarse linen and his face was not outstanding, there was a kind of motherly kindness in him that went deep into the hearts of the people around him.
Almost everyone could feel his sincerity and pain.
Yes, it was pain.
Because he felt the pain of Erlu, who was suffering in hell, he pitied him so much that he was heartbroken.
This was the new ability of an archangel.
Matthew could feel the hearts of believers like the Mother of Mercy. He could see the pain and confusion of others at a glance, and then pass on his love and compassion to the other party.
Not to mention Davos and the other believers of the seven gods in the tent, even Erlu's cold and dead heart was touched.
Matthew didn't use illusion or mind reading. He completely used his heart to feel and care for the other party's heart.
This was the king's way of "mercy."
There was no deception, only sincerity, and he let the other party feel his sincerity.
Erlu was deeply shocked.
After the shock, he became angry and asked Matthew to get out.
Instead, Matthew used the divinity of mercy to recite the Seven Stars Bible, intending to use the teachings of the seven gods to help Erlu out of the sea of suffering.
Well, that scene could be referred to as Tang Sanzang and Joker who had just finished singing "Only You."
