Quadruple split

"Tiphilo..."

Elifes Sulk took a deep breath and looked at the young man next to him who had been friends with her for several years and who was a member of the Dawn God but was full of evil thoughts with a strange look on his face: "Actually, there is something that I have never known. I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time.”

Tyfilo blinked, and then immediately bowed ninety degrees to Ellipis, and said with a heavy face: "I'm sorry! But I really don't like you!"

"..."

Teacher Elphis, who is usually gentle, cheerful, enthusiastic, cheerful, informal, and positive, bit her teeth gently, and two veins popped up on her forehead in an instant. She stared gloomily at the apologetic kid in front of her and did ten things. After several seconds of mental struggle, he finally couldn't hold it back and kicked him.

"oops!"

Tifilo, who had a small shoe mark on his chest, exclaimed, and then he jumped back neatly to distance himself from Ellipis, and said angrily: "What a vicious woman, if you don't get it, you will destroy it." right!"

The vicious woman glared angrily at the bastard with wide eyes and righteous words two meters away, gritted her teeth and said: "What I want to ask is, how did you, a brat with a head full of deviants, become a member of the Dawn God! Your goddess! Aren’t you even going to be punished by the gods?!”

Tiphilo clapped his hands lightly and said cheerfully: "Hey, I thought you were going to say something, just this? It's simple, Effie, do you know the specific meaning of the word 'God's Favorite'? ?”

Ellipis frowned slightly and thought for a while before shaking her head gently and saying: "I don't know, you also know that I study the knowledge of the undead. In the past, I encountered things related to your religion and it was too late to hide. How could it be possible? Go and study the meaning of God’s favor.”

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I don't think you can get the correct answer even if you study it."

Tiphilo grinned, spread his hands and said, "Because these two words have no special meaning at all. The word "god favored" has only a literal meaning from the beginning, that is - a person favored by God."

Ellipis looked at Tyfilo suspiciously and said angrily: "You are not talking nonsense."

"This is not nonsense."

Tiphilo raised his index finger and shook his head, explaining in a brisk tone: "You must know that all religions are...at least nominally revolving around gods. In other words, 'gods' have the right to The final interpretation of all things is just different from those secular empires. Compared with the visible and tangible dictator, the Lord does not care about most of the actions of us clergy."

Ellipis stared at His Royal Highness the Holy Son for a long time before repeating in a dry voice: "You don't care?"

Tifilo nodded and smiled: "That's right, as long as you never completely deviate from those seemingly complicated but actually extremely loose dogmas, then no matter whether you are in love with ten girls at the same time or secretly The Lord doesn’t care whether you squandered your adoptive father’s private money, spied on others taking showers day and night, or had a pleasant chat with a necromancer who should be labeled a ‘blasphemer’.”

"but……"

Ellipis pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "At least in my opinion as a necromancer, many priests are indeed a bit... uh..."

"Deviled?"

Typhiro casually said this word that was difficult for Elephis to say, and said with a smile: "It is indeed true, but it is not actually the Lord's instruction, but a kind of self-discipline derived from doctrine. Many People are like this. When they start to restrain themselves, they are often more extreme and crazy than when they are restrained by others, and... My dear friend, you should know very well that harmless necromancers like you, as well as those who are the same, are like this. How rare are the black magicians and demonic sorcerers of this age, so in most cases, they are indeed the so-called 'blasphemers' and a destabilizing factor in this world."

Although he is a necromancer, Elephith nodded in agreement after hearing these words: "Indeed, if some blind bastard digs out my grandmother's ashes for experiments, then I will definitely I will fight him tooth and nail!"

Tiphilo blinked with interest and asked curiously: "What kind of desperate method?"

“Skeletal reconstruction using my grandpa’s ashes.”

Ellipis waved her fist vigorously and said loudly: "You must protect your own woman! I will let him avenge his wife with his own hands!"

Tifilo raised his eyes and looked at Elephith, who had a serious look on his face, and said with a smile: "I take it back, you are definitely not a harmless person."

"If you ask me to tell you, you are just hypocritical."

Ellipis rolled her eyes and said angrily: "When a person dies, he is dead. If grandpa's spirit in heaven knew that I used his ashes to protect grandma, he would definitely be very happy. As a result, many people said it It’s really inexplicable to desecrate the dead. According to this principle, then everyone should stop eating meat. Why is it that you can eat wild boar and make bone soup and it’s okay, but we use wild boar bones to summon an undead creature and we are hostile?”

Tifilo chuckled and shrugged: "I completely agree with you, Ms. Sulk, but you must know that there are very few clergymen as transparent as me, so if your future students plan to use this If you put this sentence in your graduation thesis, as a friend, I hope you will cut off your relationship with that little fool."

"you are annoying."

Elifes took out the (boar) bone cane from her sleeves and lightly tapped Tifero on the head, humming: "Don't go off topic, hurry up and get down to business."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

Tiphilo shrank his neck and continued calmly: "Actually, what I want to express is very simple, that is, in most cases, God will not pay attention to the words and deeds of believers. Only some particularly heinous and deviant heretical behaviors will. It will trigger divine punishment, but this divine punishment is only aimed at ordinary believers."

Ellipis's reaction was not slow. After hearing this, she immediately asked: "What about you God's Favored Ones?"

"We God's favored ones are just casual. As I said just now, in the final analysis, God's favored ones are actually people who are favored by God in a literal sense."

Tiphilo smiled casually and smiled very reservedly: "Compared to other believers, God favors us more. Not only that, he is also willing to devote extra energy to watching us, but other believers do not have this kind of treatment. Well, take our Dawn Sect as an example, if God would look at every believer equally, then she would have gone crazy thousands of years ago."

Ellipis twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a subtle expression: "I kind of believe it. After all, if other Dawn believers open their mouths and think that their gods may go crazy for some reason, then he may have been punished by God. See the Lord.”

Tiphilo nodded vigorously in agreement, and then continued to explain: "So in the final analysis, the so-called divine punishment is actually a very cold 'mechanism'. This mechanism has nothing to do with God's will, but is determined by the people recognized by God. 'Doctrine' is the basic logic, an automatic punishment measure for those who seriously violate the doctrine, and its effective scope is everyone who establishes a connection with the gods through faith."

Ellipis pinched her eyebrows gently, nodded and said, "You continue, I can probably keep up."

"No problem. Anyway, based on what I just said, we can understand that 'divine punishment' itself is a power of the gods, just like those knights at the level of great lords who will automatically inspire fighting spirit when they are attacked."

Tiphilo chuckled and said triumphantly: "But the favored ones are different. Because we are favored by the gods, we will not be punished by the cold punishment mechanism of the gods. In other words, because the gods will always punish us. A part of the consciousness is watching us, so we can stop divine punishment before it occurs at any time. In other words, only when God thinks that the favored by God should be punished, the favored by God will be punished by God. But since we are favored by God, Naturally, it will be easier to obtain the Lord’s tolerance and understanding, so…”

Ellipis interrupted him angrily and snorted: "So people like you can rely on God's favor to talk nonsense, right?"

"In principle, yes."

Teferotian nodded shamelessly, raised his eyebrows and said, "But I think there are only a few of the gods' favored ones whose minds can be as active as mine."

Elephis made a face at Tyfilo and complained: "If you ask me, you just have a bad character."

"Whether it's a bad character or not sticking to trivial matters, in short, the God's favored ones are so willful."

Tyfilo looked into Ellipis's eyes and said softly: "So Margaret must be fine. If she becomes a descendant of the Dark Goddess and a saint of the Dark Night Sect, then she is destined to be held in the hands of countless people. She will only be better off."

Ellipis was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "So you went through such a big circle, but you just wanted to comfort me and not worry too much about Margaret?"

"Yes."

Tifilo bluntly confirmed the other party's speculation and said with a smile: "You are different from Shamar, me, and Margaret. You like to think about everything in excess and complexity, and you always like to worry about others. type, even if I tell you simply and clearly that Margaret will not suffer, but will even live a good life, you may not take it to heart. I know you, so I know very well that you will definitely feel sad because of the last period of time. I was the one who was with Margaret, but I blamed myself for not being able to prevent the latter from disappearing.”

Ellipis looked away and no longer looked at Tifilo, and said dullly: "Then... you have achieved your goal, and I feel much better now."

"That's good."

Tifilo showed a refreshing and bright smile, took off his non-existent top hat and bowed to Ellipis to greet him: "In that case, please allow me to leave first. After all, there are many famous people, and there are only two or three missing." Fortunately, if I sneak out for too long, I'm afraid that the brother who helped me cover will be nailed to a cross by cramps."

"Wait!"

"Um?"

"Um, um, Luke, you..."

She stopped the other party without thinking, but Elephith, who didn't know what to say, opened her mouth, and after a while she said: "If I see Margaret again in the future, I mean... if That dark saint is really our friend, what will you... do?"

“Does it matter what I do?”

"Very important."

"Okay, then I will ask her to bake me another cookie. If possible, I hope she can write to the missing Shamal and teach her the secret of baking snacks."

"Pfft, that's it?"

"Well, that's what I would do."

"Ah...and..."

"Yeah, I'm listening."

"You haven't given up on that wish yet, have you?"

"Look at what you said, everyone has to have some dreams, right? For a genius like me, a challenging goal is really rare."

"Although I... gave up in the past, but... after everything is on track, I want to continue to study those topics while teaching. Of course, I will just study a little in my spare time, so you can wait without expectations. Let me write your letter, maybe it can give you some inspiration and help."

"Thank you, it would be nice if you wouldn't force yourself."

"There's no need for you to meddle, I just don't like to give up halfway. Whether it's the secret of the Eternals or the logic of the formation of natural lich, I will definitely find out!"

"Okay, then I will wait for your results without any expectations."

"Well, and..."

"It's so annoying. Why do you talk so much and are you so reluctant to part with my handsome face?"

"Go, go, who cares about your ugly face?"

"Okay, okay, then please speak, Ms. Sulk, who is aesthetically deformed."

"you……"

"I?"

"You should have seen it when you came here. Although the overall style of our college is relatively gloomy, it is full of melancholic and cold-looking handsome men. Although I don't have a partner yet, but if I fall in love with one of them in the future..."

"I understand, I understand! No problem, no problem! After all, I am also the Holy Son of Dawn Sect. If you don't say anything else, if you like any heretic in this wretched place, write a letter to me directly, Luke Tiffy Luo can guarantee that if that unscrupulous man dares to reject you, he will be caught in the City of Light the next day and nailed to the cross at the top of the Dawn Chapel to dry, and he will put it down when he agrees."

"Pfft, you are the Holy Son but not the Pope, how can you be so capable?"

"You don't believe that the Holy Son has such great power?"

"Do not believe."

"Okay, then Luke Tifilo promises you that for you, my best friend Ms. Elephith Sulk, even though I am a person who is particularly afraid of trouble, this man who can casually nail the man you like is I will definitely take him as the Pope of Dawn after he was dried on the cross and forced to cry and shout that he wanted to marry you."

"Hehe, then it's settled? My Majesty Tifilo."

"It's a deal, my lady."

"Okay, then go back and save your friends. I have nothing else to say."

…

"Tiphiro?"

Rubbing her eyes, the girl suddenly discovered that the boy who was standing in front of her just now had quietly disappeared.

From a visual inspection, it was at the moment before his eyes turned red.

After a brief silence, Elephis Sulk suddenly burst into laughter——

"See, you've known from the beginning that I'm actually the kind of fool who would just give up even if I don't get it..."
