Chapter 256: You Saw Everything, Didn't You?
Ambrose thought he must have misheard.
What did she mean, several goddesses were going to bestow blessings upon her? Had this drow fallen under some illusion?
A divine blessing might sound commonplace. After all, every so often, some chosen of the gods would stir up chaos, making such things seem almost routine.
But in truth, every blessing required a god to expend a portion of their divine essence, to split off part of their authority to grant power to a gifted and devout follower.
For powerful deities, blessing a mortal wasn't too taxing. Yet even someone as promising as Allen, a paladin with a brilliant future, had merely exchanged a few words with the Lord of Dawn, not received a blessing.
As for weaker gods, they were even more miserly. Their divine power was limited to begin with. How could they afford to share it?
As for Ambrose, he had never in his life experienced what a divine blessing even felt like.
A blessing was both a supreme honor and a highly targeted gift.
There were rare exceptions in the case of capricious gods like Tir, the god of justice. He might bless you whether or not you worshipped him, so long as you upheld justice and earned his attention.
