41, Temple of the Burning Lamp 12

After saying this, Yu Feichen didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You--" He originally wanted to blame Luther as he used to blame his employer, so he started to start, but when he saw the man's right hand that had not yet been put down on the badge on his chest, he couldn't help but slow down his voice: "Are you tired?

Already?"

He witnessed with his own eyes that Luther spent three-quarters of the day sleeping, unaware of anyone else during his sleep. He was surprised to see Jasmine appear in Bai Song's room, as if he didn't believe that he would save people.

Therefore, among these people, the one who is least tired is His Majesty. Would a long wound be so tiring to a living person? - Someone even applied pressure to stop the bleeding.

Ludwig took back his hand and didn't answer, just looked at him quietly, very calmly.

This is how lazy people are.

Fine.

Then follow.

Yu Feichen said: "Do you need me to help you walk?"

Ludwig: "...No need."

No need, then let's go.

Bai Song walked in front while looking back frequently. After discovering what the two people behind him said, his brother Yu's attitude changed incomprehensibly: his dedication was full of perfunctory, his initiative revealed passivity, and everything was micromanaged.

, but it seems a bit strange. But after thinking about it again, it seems that I am enjoying it.

"Going down the steps, Your Majesty."

"The front is uneven, be careful."

"It's windy, do you need me to block it for you?"

He turned a corner and walked to the main road of the temple. There was almost no breeze, and the leaves on the branches were too lazy to move. Yu Feichen walked next to Ludwig and continued to perform his duties as a knight commander verbally. Finally, he continued to perform his duties as a knight commander.

, His Majesty the Pope turned over expressionlessly, and gave him a faint look with his dark green eyes.

Yu Feichen stopped talking. When Luther turned back, he looked at his profile and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The Pope who takes the wrong medicine is also quite interesting.

However, the pope who took the wrong medicine was also a pope. I saw Ludwig walking on the road to the temple. He was dressed in black and elegant, and his manners were still the same as when he appeared at the door of the temple on the first night. It was just that the road that night

De was cold and distant, appearing to be powerful and aloof, but now he walked quietly and peacefully with him, showing no signs of alertness, and even seemed to follow him automatically as if he had clicked on the button.

In the early morning, almost no one moved around the temple. Following the map drawn by the Queen, they arrived at the storage room in the backyard. There was no library in the temple, and books and books were piled in the storage room together with some alchemy materials and sacrificial supplies.

Indoors. At the same time, outsiders cannot take things out when entering the storage room. It is precisely because of this that the Queen's team missed the start of the ceremony because they were looking through the ceremony regulations.

The janitor opened the heavy wooden door and they walked in.

A bookcase connects from the ceiling to the floor, with eight floors in total, filled with books of various sizes.

"Two floors for each person," Yu Feichen said, "Read it before noon and find out the valuable information." After that, he took a pile of books down from the top, went to an open area and started to read quickly.

There are many books, but most of them are worthless alchemy books and astrology books. What they want to read are religious, historical, and legendary materials.

The sound of flipping books was non-stop. The worthless ones were put back and the valuable ones were placed in the center. The sun gradually became stronger and there were finally...three books in the center.

And it’s three thin volumes.

"Summary?" Yu Feichen held a black book and looked at the three thin books on the ground.

"Perhaps the copies are to restrict us. There are no serious scriptures or historical materials in these books." The scholar said, "I only found a collection of legends and stories. Two gods were mentioned in it. It is said that the god of light brings life.

, the god of shadows brings death, and people worship the god of light devoutly, which arouses the jealousy of the god of shadows. Therefore, wherever there are shadows, there are evil spirits raging and killing humans. In order to fight against the shadows, people invented candles.

Even at night, you can resist evil spirits and sleep peacefully. Then the god of shadows became angry and dropped a curtain of darkness."

As he spoke, he showed an illustration, in which the ferocious darkness was devouring the light.

"In another story, the character of the Pope exists. It is said that after the Dark Curtain rose, people began to believe in the temple and the Son instead of the Pope, which aroused the Pope's jealousy... or something."

Ludwig smiled.

After the scholar finished speaking, Bai Song said: "What I found was a medical book. Because I think that as long as there is life in the world, medicine is very important. But there seems to be no medical knowledge in all the books... I have read a few

In romance novels, after the protagonist gets sick, he only has one simple sentence: 'After the sacrifice, he got better.'"

Yu Feichen: "Tell me the important point."

"The previous medicine in this world has been lost. Only some magic potion formulas have been passed down, which are difficult to decipher. Today's medicine is very simple. They say that life is a kind of power. When you are sick, you lack the power of the corresponding part. If a person's

If the hand is sick, cut off the hands of several other people to sacrifice to him, and his hand will gain strength and get better. If the hand is burned, peel off the skins of several healthy people and hang them up. The more you hang, the more skins you can get.

The more complete it is, the faster it will heal..." After Bai Song said this, he couldn't help but lean closer to his Brother Yu to find a sense of security.

"It's the same in other places. If someone is sick, the body of another healthy person is used as a sacrifice for him. What's even more frightening is that this method is really effective. Unless the illness is serious, it can be cured.

Bai Song whispered: "So, from the ceremony we saw, they may really want the Holy Son to survive...I'm done."

Then it was Ludwig's turn.

"What I found was a book praising the Holy Son. Every hundred years, a Holy Son will be born in the vast land of Casablan and be found by the temple. The way to find the Holy Son is very simple, that is

The shadowless baby, the embodiment of pure light.”

"The baby was taken away from the temple and raised. Before he learned the language of the world, he first learned the incantation to summon the light. Whenever the Holy Son started to pray the incantation, the dark curtain would stop rising."

Perhaps it was the echo from the storage room, but there seemed to be a touch of sadness in Ludwig's tone.

"The Holy Son spent his whole life serving the God of Light. He was not allowed to see outsiders except priests, elders and nuns, and was not allowed to leave the temple. Moreover, except for the necessary food and sleep time to maintain life, he must recite prayers and mantras all the time."

Bai Song: "...Oh my god."

"However, what's interesting is that someone left traces with a red pen on this page." Ludwig showed the page. There was a huge cross made in red ink, and there was something written in the lower right corner.

Two lines of words:

"Priests, go to hell!"

"I already know what you are most afraid of~~"

At the bottom of the words, a grimace with fangs was drawn as graffiti.

"The strokes are very immature, like a child's. The ink has faded, but it has not become too light. The time when it was written was not too far away from now." Yu Feichen looked at the line of words and said.

Just listen to Ludwig say: "The temple seems to have gained a disobedient Holy Son."

After saying that, he stopped talking. Maybe His Majesty the Pope is tired again, Yu Feichen thought.

So only he can make the final conclusion.

"Human beings are against evil spirits, the god of light is against the god of shadows, and the relationship between the temple and the pope is not good. Also, the principle behind the resurrection potion we are looking for is also in line with 'sacrifice' and is effective. At the same time, the temple

We are indeed working hard to save the Holy Son."

After going round and round, I ended up back where I started.

"This..." the scholar frowned deeply: "Aren't we reading for nothing?"

"No." Yu Feichen said, "I have been thinking about a question before, why do these characters we play come to the temple, and who invited us to come."

"Isn't it a temple?"

"But the relationship between the temple and the Pope is not good in the legend, and the nuns did ignore Luther. According to common sense, Luther would not appear here."

"Perhaps it's because of the temple disease that I rushed to see a doctor."

"But I also discovered this." Yu Feichen unfolded the black book in his hand. The content of the book is not important. The key is that there is a metal bookmark sandwiched between the pages. There is a thorn flower pattern on the bookmark. He put Ludwig

The stand-up collar of the Greek dress folds down, revealing an identical thorn flower embroidery.

"The Pope's bookmark appeared among the books in the temple. The Pope had been to the temple, or he knew someone in the temple and gave him the bookmark."

After saying that, Yu Feichen immediately thought of another thing - the secret door in the room of the Knight Commander and the Pope that the cloaked old man didn't know about. Also, the sizes and furnishings of different rooms were obviously different. This was not a simple guest room.

He said: "I now speculate that the Pope and the Knight Commander are actually frequent visitors to the temple. Even all the characters played have been here. At first, I thought this was not something this temple would do.

.But something happened today. The Holy Son in the temple is a maverick."

After saying that, he pulled up Luther's stand collar again.

"Do you think we are actually guests of the Holy Son? Or friends?" Bai Song said.

"yes."

"Then now that the Holy Son is about to die, it seems... reasonable to ask his reliable friends to come together to find a solution?" Bai Song said.

It is indeed reasonable. It even seems a bit contrary because it is too reasonable.

At this moment, another bell suddenly rang in the silent temple. A black shadow walked past the window, and the monks were actually gathering again.
