Because of the unique inheritance of ring magicians, the eyes of the nuns who are qualified to wear silver crown eyepatch can capture the spirituality that is invisible to the naked eye. So even churches and colleges could not capture the one-way entrances that had appeared in Fort Midhill, but spiritual orders could.
This is why they had saved people who had strayed into it, but the church could not rescue Augustus Priest immediately.
The religious group needs some time to find a usable entrance in the city, and after it is fixed, a single person is allowed to enter.
What Xia De needs to do is to provide 3,000 pounds for the ceremony materials, and let the [Spiritual Religion] make a ceremony, using a method similar to "psychic", so that Xia De also enters the area where life and death are ambiguous.
Holding the priest's personal belongings, Shad was able to find Priest Augustus inside that weird area, and then the cult was able to pull both of them out.
In this method, 3,000 pounds is not a problem at all. The other four people in the group will pool it together and ask him to reimburse the priest after he rescues it. Moreover, the nun asked Xia De to send the money within a week, so there is no rush. The priest's personal items are not difficult to find, the holy emblem pendant Shade picked up can be used. The only risk is that Shad needs to enter that dangerous area, and only he can enter. Strangers cannot rely on rituals to find Priest Augustus.
Although Xia De had only promised the other three members of the group not to enter there easily a few hours ago, since he had already obtained the method, he was not willing to back down.
Sister Davelyn introduced the entire rescue process to Shad in detail, and explained the possible dangers of doing so. If he is not careful, Xia De will also get lost in that field, and then wait for others to rescue him.
"Mr. John Watson, I can't estimate the risk of doing this. You must think carefully before making a decision."
"Don't think about it, Sister Devlin, please prepare for the ceremony, I will raise money later."
Shad shook his head, Priest Augustus was one of the few friends he had in this world, and Priest Augustus was also a good person worth saving. There is still a drop of divinity in his soul that he has not used. When it is really a last resort, he will use the divinity to incarnate into a **** to reverse everything.
The nun was silent for a while:
"Mr. Watson, there are very few people like you now."
"Don't praise me, maybe in the future I will regret it, but at least now I want to do it."
Xia De sighed, thinking that when he rescued the priest and asked him to treat him to dinner, he might be able to improve the grade of the restaurant he chose:
"Sister Davelyn, speaking of it, is the local church planning some big event? My friend Priest Augustus is here on a business trip, and he doesn't even understand the reason."
He thought about this again, half of the nun's face under the blindfold showed a peaceful smile again:
"The local church has been busy with other things since last winter. They want to hold a large divine ceremony locally. Your friend, the old priest, was probably summoned for this reason."
"Large ceremony?"
Xia De nodded. He hadn't heard any news about it, and even the priest himself didn't know why he came here on business. Although priests are considered "ordinary people" by the church, such aged pious clergymen can also play an important role in praying in divine magic ceremonies, so the statement of "large-scale divine magic ceremonies" is very credible:
"As far as I know, the Church of the Five Gods has dispatched no less than 100 local priests from various dioceses in the Old Continent. If there are so many ordinary senior priests, it is hard for me to imagine what they will do. "
Ms. Michel shook her head slightly, and [Spiritual Religion] is also investigating this matter.
After getting the information he wanted, Xia Deben wanted to say goodbye and leave. Tomorrow morning [Spiritual Practice Mission] will deliver the message of [Life and Death] to the House of the Blind, and it is estimated that it will take a day or two to find the border entrance and hold the ceremony.
But Sister Daveline asked Shad to stay a little longer, she still has things to do:
"I heard from Sister Michelle that you have extremely pure moonlight on your body. Then, can I use my eyes to check the light on your body?"
The tone of her request was exactly the same as the tone of her conversation with Xia De, and there was no emotion at all.
"sure."
The other party helped so much, so naturally he would not refuse such an inconspicuous request.
So Xia De sat on the sofa, looking at the gray-haired nun.
The latter lowered her head and carefully removed the silver crown, and when she raised her head again, there was no metal eye mask covering her eyes, and Xia De could really see the other person's appearance clearly. She was indeed beautiful, and unlike the beauty of witches that transcended ordinary humans, nuns had a strange pale beauty.
"excuse me."
She said softly, and opened her eyes.
Xia De looked over inquiringly, and what he saw was a pair of lifeless black eyes. If you look carefully, the eyeballs are cloudy, and the black eyes seem to be faded. It is difficult to distinguish the boundary between the eyeballs and the whites of the eyes. This should be some kind of special genetic disease, somewhat similar to cataracts.
In other words, this Sister Devlin is actually a real blind person.
Shad thought to himself, then realized that it was impolite to stare at someone. When I looked away, I guessed that since the other party is really blind, what kind of "seeing" is this kind of "seeing" with the blindfold off.
"It is indeed beautiful."
While Xia De was thinking wildly, the gray-haired nun suddenly said:
She closed her eyes, put on her blindfold again, and did not continue to evaluate the light on Xia De's body, but asked a somewhat abrupt question:
"Mr. John Watson, do you know the ancient gods?"
"of course I know."
Xia De raised his eyebrows, not understanding why the other party suddenly brought up this topic:
"As far as I know, the ancient gods are the first and oldest thirteen gods in this world."
"Yes, the ancient gods are different from all the gods today. What they symbolize are not single or opposite things. Each ancient **** corresponds to quite a lot of power."
"I also know this. Tobesk's 'that lady' once mentioned that the dark ancient **** has powers such as darkness, mistakes, and history."
"Because of what happened a while ago, Tobesk's seventh witch should indeed know this... Then do you know the meaning of [Moon]?"
The nun asked again, Shad nodded again:
"It's very simple, the moon, the night, the recorder."
The nun had already put on the blindfold, and still said in that calm tone:
"And death."
"die?"
Xia De couldn't think of this.
"To be precise, it is 'guiding death'. The powers of the ancient gods sometimes overlap subtly. The night has been inseparable from the concept of death since ancient times. As opposed to the sun, which symbolizes light, heat, and the living, the moon Corresponding to darkness, cold, and the dead. The mainstream mysticism believes that the red moon represents flesh and blood and reproduction, the yellow moon is the moon itself and guides the direction, and the silver moon is sacred and purifying. But in fact, the oldest moon, the silver moon. ..."
Shad glanced at Sister Devlin.
"It is also regarded by people as a sign that guides death at night, which is the [Mingyue] in divination theory."
"But among the ancient gods, there are gods of death."
Xia De said that he knew the Rhodes card [Genesis·Death].
"Yes, the ancient **** [ancient death god], the original **** of death. He represents the purest death, end and nothingness, there is no doubt about it."
In the morning, Mr. Edmond of Coldwater Harbor also mentioned [Ancient Death].
The nun spoke softly, and Xia De looked at each other hesitantly, suspecting that [Spiritual Church] might be a group of superhumans who believed in [Ancient Death] or [Sage of the Silver Moon] since ancient times, just like those who believed in [Mr. Huan] since ancient times Like the Prophet Society.
But before he could decide whether to ask the other party, his chest suddenly became hot.
"Um?"
It's the badge that can judge the power of a witch is heating~www.mtlnovel.com~ And judging from the degree of heat, it's not that a woman with witch power is nearby, but a great witch is nearby.
Although surprised in his heart, Xia De's expression is still normal. While feeling the heat change of the badge on his chest, he continued to talk to Sister Devlin about the local legends and stories of Fort Midhill.
The heat in the chest became more and more obvious, but never quite close. And ten minutes after Xia De noticed the appearance of the great witch, the door was knocked, and the maid of the club opened the door after getting permission:
"Ms. Devlin, my mother-in-law is here, waiting for you in her room."
"I see."
The nun stood up and nodded slightly to Xia De:
"Mr. Watson, I have something to do."
"It's okay, I'm going to do my own thing next. You go first, and I'll leave after drinking this cup of tea."
He picked up the teacup in front of him, because he was actually worried about meeting that great witch, Granny Cassandra, on the stairs.
"Okay, after nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you can go to the House of the Blind to get the materials."
After speaking, the nun left the room.
After the door was closed and the sound of footsteps disappeared, Xia De stood up with his teacup in hand, and came to the window of this relatively plainly decorated room to look out the window.
The continuous mountains undulate in the distance, and the fog that appears from the halfway up the mountain goes all the way down until it covers the village at the foot of the mountain. In Tobesk and Coldwater Harbor, this mountainous scene is not available. The city of Fort Midhill itself was also shrouded in the gray fog released by the steam factory. The two kinds of fog met at the foot of the mountain, but they did not completely merge together.
It was Friday afternoon, two days had passed since Priest Augustus' accident. Xia De sincerely hoped that by this time next week, the priest would have returned safely.
