The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Chapter 282 Short Phrases

Just as Linde was about to take out the arcane magic circle used to create the holy water again and hand it over to the research institute and super-level magic for comparison, the guards reported that the people from Lantern Dream had arrived.

Linde had no choice but to receive the guests who had traveled a long way at the mansion.

Many people came to Lantern Dreamland this time, but most of them went to the Northern Church for exchange and learning.

This is truly an exchange and learning experience. With the awakening of the goddess, Lantern Dream no longer intends to lie dormant as an unpopular cult. This faction, which once stirred up religious wars on the mainland, is finally about to return to the center stage.

The exchange and learning with the Northern Church was the first step taken by Lantern Dream.

After all, if one wants to return to the radiance of the Holy Light, the best option now is to integrate into this newly formed Northern Church.

Even though the most important rule of the Northern Church is that religion cannot supersede the power of the ruler, this rule is actually quite blasphemous. It is equivalent to legally stipulating that divine authority cannot surpass imperial authority, directly negating the rule of divine authority.

Besides the formal consent of the goddess, the most important factor in the appointment and removal of bishops is the approval of the government.

Even during the reign of Augustine III, when the Catholic Church was at its weakest, it did not directly interfere in religious affairs to this extent.

But this means nothing to the current Lantern Dream, since in the Lantern Dream's view, serving this governor who can use the language of God is no different from directly serving the goddess.

"It is an honor to meet you, former citizen, Governor of the North."

Seraphim bowed slightly, clasped his hands, and prayed devoutly using the rituals of bygone eras.

Lind nodded, gesturing for the other person to take a seat.

In that instant, Lind carefully observed Seraphim, the saint from two hundred years ago.

She had the same silver hair as Isa, and always wore a smile. Beneath her thick, snowflake-like eyelashes were clear, silver-gray pupils. When she saw Lind observing her, she simply nodded slightly in response.

Even if Seraphim did nothing, just standing there, she would make people feel that she was a saint of some religion. In fact, all saints should be like Seraphim.

To be honest, for a moment, Linde thought Seraphim and Isa looked somewhat similar, but their temperaments were fundamentally different. Seraphim was more like a pure and beautiful saint who was untouched by worldly affairs, and every move she made was very elegant, but she made people feel unapproachable.

Isabella now possesses an air of someone who has risen through the ranks from the bottom. Both are saints, but Isabella is clearly more approachable.

"I believe Bernice has already told you beforehand that we are here mainly about the two sentences you taught Bernice before. We will not investigate the secrets of this language in detail, but we hope you can tell us whether it is really possible to communicate directly with the goddess."

Prayers made in Chinese, English, and Russian will receive a priority response from the Goddess of Light AI and will be directly handed over to 550C for processing. So Seraphim's statement is not wrong. Lind nodded and said, "That's right, just as you imagined."

Who knows what Lantern Dream was thinking? But Lind just needed to smile; the other person would fill in the blanks in their own mind.

Moreover, the other party had indeed guessed most of the truth, so Linde didn't want to say anything more or reveal more information.

After nodding, Lin De could clearly feel the saint's eyelids twitch, and the elderly cardinal behind her could not hide his excitement.

"Could...could you teach us this language? Even just a few words would be enough to help us better understand the oracle. We swear in the name of the goddess that we will not conduct any further research."

Although Seraphiel had been suppressing his emotions, his emotional fluctuations were quite evident in the other person's tone.

To be honest, even if you teach the other party Chinese completely, its usefulness is very limited. After all, the 550C determines permissions not based on the language used, but on the so-called consciousness marker, which is the soul.

Moreover, most of the so-called divine pronouncements were delivered by 550C in the language of the new humans, but due to limitations in their ability to receive the information and religious reasons, their meaning was often misinterpreted. In the end, most divine pronouncements were simply what humans wanted to hear.

The greatest use of this language for these natives, or rather, the new humans, is probably to figure out what happened during the 550C's self-test restart.

However, it is undeniable that learning the language of what these people call the golden age is indeed useful, because using Chinese can indeed get a response from the goddess more quickly, or even have 550C respond personally.

Linde had also guessed how valuable this native language was, but for Linde, what was more important was what Lantern Dream could give up for it.

For example, the Lantern Dream uses brain servants to construct dreams, online dreaming technology, and the technology that allows the saintess in front of us to preserve her body for a hundred years and revive at any time.

Seeing that Lind did not reply, Seraphim was not surprised. How could a language that can communicate with God be learned so easily?

So Seraphim lowered his stance and said, "Even if we cannot learn the language of the gods, we hope that you will impart to us the divine words of the goddess. This is crucial for our Lantern Dream to become orthodox once again."

If the sacred words from historical legends can be reproduced, it means that the goddess has approved of the Lantern Dream. The central papacy will have no choice but to reluctantly acknowledge that the Lantern Dream has received the goddess's grace, and then it will be a natural thing to transform into an orthodox church.

Of course, once they become the orthodox religion, they can no longer capture those brain servants and will have to find another way, but for Lantern Dreamland, it's all worth it.

"Holy Word spell?"

Linde understood that if you don't understand something, don't pretend to know it; just ask directly. After all, many things from the Golden Age have different names now.

Sure enough, Seraphim explained, "We don't know if your Golden Age had such magic. Simply put, it's about using the power of language to communicate with the gods, cast spells quickly, and even use some special divine arts."

Next, Seraphim gave Lind several examples from history of saints of the goddess who used the spell of the Word to defeat villains.

Linde roughly understood, snapped his fingers, and said in Chinese, "550C, defensive barrier activated."

Then, several light screens slowly descended from beside Linde.

"Is that right?"
