179 Sorry, I’m Too Dirty

Grandis...

Tang Hao was certainly not unfamiliar with this name. The cleric girl who wanted to find her missing brother "eight times a night" was also an NPC who sold epic equipment and redeemed abyss tickets. Among the hundreds of NPCs in DNF, her presence is probably second only to Celia and Kelly.

However, Tang Hao was still a little surprised as to why Grandis suddenly came to him, and the way she spoke to him always felt like a salesman from his world.

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Priest, hello. What can I do?"

Tang Hao smiled slightly and returned the greeting in the manner of Glandis.

"It's like this. I feel a trace of God's guidance in you. If possible, I hope you can follow me to the church to receive God's revelation... Of course, this is not a dangerous thing. You just need to listen."

Divine guidance?

Do you have that kind of thing in yourself?

Tang Hao has never been too fond of religion, because in most works, the so-called religions are treated like cults. Even if they are decent at the beginning, they often become the final boss or... Those things next to the final boss.

Even in reality, religion is just an alternative way of centralizing power.

As a non-believer, Tang Hao has always stayed away from such organizations.

So when he heard what Grandis said, his instinct was to be stunned. If the girl in front of him was not Grandis, he would have suspected that some charlatan was trying to deceive him.

Or is it that his identity as a god gave Galandis an illusion?

"Of course, no problem. I am willing to accept God's revelation."

After thinking about it, Tang Hao immediately agreed.

In DNF, the sect to which Glendis belongs does not seem to have many black spots. Although its internal forces are unknown, it can at least be traced back to the Ozma era or even earlier. It has developed to this day and is also a behemoth. If you If we can rely on this religious order, we don't have to worry too much about the obstruction of the Imperial Army.

Afterwards, Tang Hao said to Kirito and others: "I will go to the church with this priestess. You can first go to the Moonlight Tavern to find a woman named Sosia. I will come over after I finish my work."

"good."

So the group of people split into two, Kirito and Asuna took Celia and left towards the back streets of Hedunmar, while Tang Hao followed Galantis to the church.

"Miss Priest..."

"Just call me Gladys."

"Okay, Grandis." Tang Hao smiled and nodded, "As far as I know, the priest should be a high-ranking position in the religious order. Miss Gladis has already become a priest at such a young age. She should be It’s pretty awesome.”

However, Glendis shook his head, "Actually, most of the priests started teaching from childhood. There are orphans in the war, children from the poor, and children of nobles who yearn for the glory of God. They have been taught since they were young. There are not a few people who have accepted God’s teachings and become priests at my age.”

"I just have a better memory than others, and I have some knowledge about various fields of clergy. That's why the Order sent me to Hutton Mar to be responsible for teaching the new clergy. As for me, I don't have much. It’s amazing, it’s not easy to put that knowledge into practice.”

In other words, although he can be a good mentor, he is not very powerful. Is he probably similar to El-Melloi II?

Tang Hao thought, of course, it may also be the humble words of Gelantes. After all, those who can be entrusted with important tasks by the religious group can't be much worse no matter how weak their strength is. Besides, Grandis is also one of the five original mentors of DNF, as famous as Shalan, Kaili, Feng Zhen, and GSD. Which one of these people will be weak?

"We're here, please come in."

The Remedian Cathedral branch is located in the center of Hutton Mar. Just approaching here can feel a quiet and peaceful power, which is completely different from the solemn atmosphere before, and there is no empire around. The army does have some skills.

The only thing is...the name is a bit subtle.

Remedia...it's easy to sound like Remilia if you're in a trance, which gives people an inexplicable sense of dissonance.

But think about it carefully, if this church is really opened by Remilia, imagine that little majestic bat sitting in the highest position of the church with his head in a crouching posture, accepting the worship of believers. Oh my god, it’s quite good. So cute!

Then again, just the position of holding one's head and squatting to defend would be very cute if a loli did it.

How did Remilia learn this pose?

Is she a genius? !

Tang Hao began to think wildly again, and unknowingly he had entered the church. Priests could be seen everywhere, and Galandis did have a good status in the church. Every clergy passing by would salute and greet her. On the other hand, not many people paid attention to Tang Hao.

Probably in their view, this is another lost lamb who needs God's guidance.

Galantis brought Tang Hao to the cross of the Great Cathedral and asked him to wait there for a while before leaving. Not long after, when Galantis appeared again, there were several older people beside her. Priest.

"Did you say that he is the one who has the guidance of God?" The priest looked at Tang Hao for a while, then nodded, "If you can indeed feel a trace of God's guidance, then follow what Gallantis wants, Let it be revealed to him.”

"Baptize first." Another priest said.

Why does it feel a bit casual... Tang Hao secretly cursed, in his opinion, things like revelation should be considered relatively advanced in the church. There are still one or two assessments and trials first. He didn't expect it to be so simple.

Is it really because Galandis has a greater reputation?

Just as he was thinking about it, the priest who wanted to be baptized said to Tang Hao: "Only pure people can accept God's revelation, and all people are born with filth. Next, Glendis will baptize you with holy water to remove it. Please close your eyes for the filth on your body.”

Tang Hao did not close his eyes, but his eyes lit up.

The holy water of Grandis? !

Then he saw a priest coming over with a basin of water, and Galantis came to him with something like a branch in his hand.

Well, he's still too dirty.

If Grandis could know his inner thoughts, I'm afraid he wouldn't do anything to baptize him, but slap him away. I wonder if the holy water can cleanse the filth in his heart?

In order to prevent the dirty thoughts in his heart from being exposed, Tang Hao quickly closed his eyes.

Then he felt a slight chill on his face, which must have been the holy water being sprinkled on him. Although Tang Hao tried very hard to keep his mind clear of distracting thoughts, he still couldn't help but think about it at this moment... Could this be considered to be Galantis raping him?

Moreover, there was an inexplicable fragrance coming from the tip of his nose. I had smelled this fragrance before, and it was from Glandis. Of course, it is completely different from the scent of cosmetics used by women, with more of a holy atmosphere. According to the formula of Noragami's world that "all gods are scented", I am afraid that Galandis also has a little power of God.

He didn't know whether he was stimulated by the fragrance or whether the baptism had an effect. Tang Hao suddenly found that his hearing and touch had become more acute. Although his eyes were closed, he seemed to be able to see a trace of a figure shaking through his eyelids. Even within the body... some kind of magical factor seems to be starting to become active.

"Okay, the baptism is over. You are now pure. Open your eyes."

Eh! Is this the end?

Is this a pure body?

Tang Hao felt that the filth in his heart had not been cleansed, and he did not know whether the god the cult believed in really existed. If he discovered the filth in his heart, he might be so angry that he vomited blood.

Of course, God may also be an interstellar player who cannot see his own filth at all, so this baptism is probably just an ordinary ritual.

open one's eyes.

"Huh?"

Tang Hao was suddenly startled. He found that his skin seemed to have become more shiny. He subconsciously took it to his nose and smelled it, and there was a hint of cool fragrance, which was very similar to the smell of Galandis.

However, when the basin of holy water was brought over before, there was no such smell at all.

"May I ask, what kind of water is that of yours?" Tang Hao asked curiously.

"Of course it's holy water." The priest replied. He felt that Tang Hao's question was a bit idiotic, so that no one else was too lazy to answer.

Grandis smiled, "The holy water of the church has been blessed by God and has incredible power."

So, is this really holy water?

Tang Hao's eyes widened. He always thought that the so-called holy water was just a way of saying it, and it was actually just ordinary water. But now it seems that this is not the case.

oops……

Seeing the basin of holy water being brought back, he felt a little pity.

"Then, please wait here for a moment." Then, Galantis left with several more priests.

Probably the clergy were all a little bit spiritual, so Tang Hao didn't care much. Even when those priests left, they seemed to look at him very seriously, which made him a little strange.

…

At the same time, several priests gathered in the cubicle suddenly became excited with poker-faced expressions.

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"

"Sure enough, Galandis still has the vision!"

"Give him the highest revelation!"

"Wait! Only the high priest is qualified for the most advanced revelation, and it will be directly reflected to the sect headquarters. If we make a mistake, we will be punished."

"It can't be wrong! He must have such a big reaction after being baptized!"

"What if it's wrong?"

"If it's wrong...if it's wrong, we will take responsibility together."

"Okay, then let's take a gamble. If he is really the legendary son of God, not only will we have no fault, but we will have made great achievements... Gladis, I leave it to you to enlighten me."

"Well, I will definitely complete the revelation." Galantis nodded, looking a little excited.
