Chapter 258 Pure Faith.
"I just want to know how you turn a normal person into a believer.
How do you generate their Faith in the God of Light?"
Elara questioned and Selene turned silent.
It wasn't difficult for her to answer Elara's question, however, from her expression, it looked like she was hesitating.
Vaan, who noticed that expression narrowed his eyes, then, he just sighed,
"Elara, we should leave.
I don't think the President has the answer we are seeking."
He then turned towards Selene and with a fake smile on his face, he nodded and slightly bowed his head,
"Thank you for giving us the time of your life, President Selene. We will be taking our leave now."
'I was expecting too much.'
Vaan sighed inwardly as he grabbed Elara's hand and stood up.
Seeing him act like this, Elara understood the problem.
She had mixed truth and lies together to come up with the story of the God of Magic being unable to bless its believer and them trying to connect with him again. They did it because if in the future, they found a way to use the Spirit's blessing on someone other than Vaan, they could continue further with this story, generating more and more Faith Energy for the Spirits in the process.
What they were doing was no different than reviving the Faith people once had in the God of Magic, if that happened, many believers would lose their Faith and return to the God their family once believed in.
It would be the revival of the Tower of Magic, a force that once dominated the entire Agresia. Obviously, it wouldn't be a good news for the current powers and anyone who is a part of a powerful faction wouldn't want it to happen.
Including Selene.
As someone who is dedicated to the Church of Light, the girl would never want another force as strong or even stronger than the Church of Light to originate and take their place.
She had no reason to help them and Elara understood the reasoning behind it and even found it reasonable.
It was selfish yes, however...
Elara knew that if, in the future, she needed to make a decision that might put Vaan at any sort of risk or even uncomforted him in any way, she would never do it either no matter how selfish it was.
In her heart, Elara didn't blame Selene.
She was disappointed, but it wasn't like they came here with high expectations in the first place, they just needed to think of something else.
"Wait."
Just when Vaan and Elara were about to turn around and walk away, Selene called out.
Vaan and Elara turned around and saw Selene frowning at them,
"I do not like your expressions."
Selene didn't hide her feelings.
Vaan frowned, however, before he could say anything,
"Are you thinking that I do not want to help you because I am from the Church of Light?"
Her guess was on the spot.
Vaan however, wasn't surprised, he already knew that the woman was much more intuitive than others.
Believing that your God is always there with you.
Believing that your God will always protect you.
Believing that your God will always reward you for the effort you put in.
Believing that your God will always... love you...
This is Faith.
The purest Faith a believer could have."
Selene then glanced at Elara and,
"Watch this."
Suddenly, she took out a knife and slashed her wrist.
Both Vaan and Elara were surprised, Selene's actions were so sudden that none of them could react to it.
More and more blood came out of Selene's wrist, Selene, however, simply shook her head and,
"O God of Light,
Please bless your child,"
Selene spoke and suddenly, Vaan could see a certain amount of Faith Energy forming over Selene's head, soon, the energy entered her body and healed her in an instant.
Both Vaan and Elara were shocked.
This woman... she didn't even complete her prayer and was able to invoke her blessing.
No, let alone complete it, she didn't even start it correctly!
She simply said those words, rather than a prayer, it was more like a request!
"Prayers are simply a way to think about God, not connect with him. If your Faith is strong enough, you don't even have to pray for him to listen to you."
Selene spoke and with a gentle smile on her face,
"So don't focus on praying like others do,
Generate pure Faith, embrace your God, believe in him, love him,
Once you do, then if what you said is correct and the God of Magic has indeed not abandoned us, then you will be able to connect to him.
Who knows? This might even be the start of a new Era with you as the center of it.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors, Elara Flameheart."
Selene spoke and both Vaan and Elara nodded with smiles on their faces. This time, the smiles on their faces weren't fake, although they didn't get the definite answer they were looking for, they were satisfied with the conversation they had.
At the very least, they found the Path they could walk on and explore.
"Also, I will keep this conversation between the three of us for now and I suggest you do the same as well.
I am sure I don't have to clarify why, correct?"
Selene spoke and once again, the couple nodded.
"Thank you, Selene."
Vaan spoke as she glanced at the blonde in front of him.
This time, his perception of this woman had changed a little.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
