Chapter 6: The Holy Maiden

"This is the ...... of the Yaojing," Zero looked speechlessly at the huge metal book on a one-man high stone platform under the open-air dome in the center of the rotunda.

He had thought that this book that had been preached to be miraculous would have something to do with the book that had brought him into the world, but now it seemed that he was wrong.

Sori led Zero to the central stone platform where the Sutra was placed. The half-meter-long giant book was quietly suspended in the magic enchantment on the stone platform at this time, Zero watched as Sori raised his hand and gently touched the enchantment around Yaojin, he clearly saw a slight ripple in the light curtain of the spherical enchantment, and with Sori's telekinesis, the metal book suspended on the stone platform slowly flipped over. Although it is a metal book, the pages are very thin, and the words that are not intelligible seem to have been printed using a special method, glowing with a faint fluorescent light.

Looking at it this time, Zero is completely dead, the content of the book is completely different from the previous book, and he can't understand the text on it.

"Chapter 7, Subsection 4 - Weeping Mediocrity, is written for those who are disturbed by mediocrity and are not subject to probation. Sori looked at the contents of the book and said, "The Lord will eventually save those who are full of thoughts and have rusty blades in their hands, but the Lord can only weep for those who do not think of expanding, who are covered with dirt and dirt, and who are willing to fall into the mud." ”

Zero looked up at the kind woman in front of her with complicated eyes, and she also looked at Zero and smiled: "Jeno must be a kind person, even if your faith is shattered, it doesn't matter, as long as you have good intentions, fate will eventually return you with a warm light......"

At that time, what Zero thought in his heart was that this church was full of godheads who insisted on their beliefs, and they would say a lot of gentle life principles to persuade people to be good, and he had heard so many great truths that he could say half a basket of them himself. He is a person who has been played by fate, since reincarnation ignores his tiny soul, then he must choose a path he wants to take in this life, on this road, no one should say those annoying hypocrisy to him, what he wants to pursue is his own truth......

"Sister Soli~" A little girl poked her head out of the circular railing on the second floor to look at them.

Sori looked up at the source of the voice, and after seeing who it was, she smiled and said, "It's you, Lovele, are you studying in the library today?"

"yes...... Everyone has gone to visit the archbishop's grandfather, and since he has been ill, the atmosphere in the whole Holy See has been strange, and I have to stay here and read. The girl said as she walked up the stairs.

She walked downstairs to the two of them, and it was only then that Zero could see the girl's appearance. She looked two years older than Zero and was a head taller than him. Dressed in moon-white missionary robes, she was beautiful, with large curly blonde hair in a shawl and emerald green eyes, and she was a beautiful girl with a very temperament.

"I'll introduce you both. Sori smiled and looked at the two.

"This is the new Holy Lady of the Holy See of Light, Lovel Peinova. Sori said to Zero with her palm reaching for Lovielle.

Zero nodded, looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling at him and said "hello".

Then Solie said to Loviel, "And this one is the son of Admiral Wayne of the House of Crete, Jeno Crete. ”

"Oh! you're Jeno~ the one who made Grandpa Bishop sick?" Lovielle opened her mouth slightly, looking at Zero in surprise.

Zero stood there with an embarrassed face, and Solie coughed lightly, motioning for Lovele to pay attention to her words.

"Oh, I'm sorry......" Loviel blushed, "they all say that......"

"I don't mean anything malicious, in fact, personally, I don't look at you in a strange light. Grandpa Sainz himself said that he saved a fresh young life with his old body, which is the best embodiment of the dedication of the Heavenly Dao Lord, and he said that he must have saved more than one life. Loviel said.

Zero looked at the simple and kind girl in front of him, and did not feel malice in her clear voice, so he smiled and replied "It's okay".

"Can I look around here? It looks huge. Zero said, looking around.

"Then let Loviel show you around, but we'll have to go find your mom and dad in a moment, and they'll be worried after a long delay. Sori thought to herself that the child didn't have so many eyes, and she didn't feel sorry for Lovele's gaffe just now, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lovielle smiled and took Zero's hand and said, "I'll take you there, I've read most of the books here, I can explain them to you~"

"yes, that's great. Zero smiled. It would be best to have a docent, otherwise how could he find a book in this vast library alone.

"What kind of books are you looking for?"

Half a day passed, and Lovielle looked at Zero, who had been browsing under the various bookshelves, and wondered.

"Tsk...... It's a book with no inscriptions, and it contains some ancient myths and mysterious magic, as well as a few cardboard ......" Zero searched for a long time without results, and then turned to Lovielle, who was following him, and said, "Have you read so many books here and never seen the one I said?"

Loviel pursed her lips and shook her head: "I came to the Bright Sect five years ago, and since I became literate, I have been reading books in the library, and I have read most of the books here, but there doesn't seem to be the one you said. ”

"Oooh......" Zero was a little frustrated. He remembered the book vividly, and he roughly remembered both the appearance and the contents. But after searching here for a long time, he didn't find the book, and occasionally found a few similar books, but they were not the one he was looking for.

"If you're interested in the history of mythology, you can check out this book. Wait a minute......" The girl said as she brought the wooden herringbone ladder next to the bookshelf, pushed it to the edge of a large bookshelf, and then stabilized it and climbed the ladder.

"You slow down......" Zero reminded at the bottom.

The girl replied, "It's fine," and searched for it in front of the bookshelf. Suddenly, she lowered her head and looked at Zero and said, "Can you push the ladder for me?" ”

Zero Wenyan stepped forward and put his hands on the ladder, as soon as he started to feel the weakness of the child's body, he could easily push a wooden ladder and the weight of a little girl with one hand, but now he felt very strained with both hands, and the soles of his feet were still slipping.

"I'll come down, I'm sorry, you're too young. Loviel hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay......" Zero gritted his teeth and slowly pushed the ladder to the left a meter away.

"Enough, enough. Lovielle quickly took the book, held it in her arms, and carefully walked down the stairs.

"This is the most complete history of mythology, from the beginning of the birth of human civilization, to the era of annihilation of Shura's divine punishment, and then to the birth of Douqi magic. Loviel said as she handed the book to Zero.

The two of them sat down on the ground in front of the bookshelf, and they flipped through the book as fast as they could, and in the middle of the day he stopped with a bitter face.

"What's wrong?" Loviel asked, looking at him worriedly.

"I don't understand......" said weakly. He didn't know the writing of this world at all, a bit like the ancient Chinese characters on the earth, but the font was sleek, distinguishing from hieroglyphs and seal characters, a bit in between, but it was a unique font that he couldn't recognize with his eyesight anyway.

"Haha......" the girl laughed happily.

"Hey, you mean it, right......" Zero said with an angry look at her.

"You're still too young~" Lovielle squinted and smiled, "Come and see when you're older~"

Zero glanced at her: "You're only a year or two older than me at most, right?" and said that I'm young, and you're also a little kid." ”

"You're a little, huh~" Lovielle wrinkled her nose at Zero with her little tiger teeth and pretending to be fierce.

"Little girl, uncle, I don't know how much older my mental age is than you~" Zero said helplessly, turned his eyes and continued to read the book.

Suddenly, he saw a picture on the book, which seemed to be words carved on a stone tablet, the handwriting was blurred, but still recognizable.

"This is ......" Zero was stunned, but his heart was extremely shocked.

It was the words he had seen in that book! words he had never seen but could read.

"All sentient beings are ignorant, and on the day I return, all the rebels will be dust, and there will be no place to bury their bones...... "Zero read out those lines in a daze.

"Oh my God!" Loviel looked at Zero in shock, "how did you know ...... This is the writing of antiquity!"

"Huh?" Zero's heart was also very surprised, he didn't know why he could read these words, it was like his native language, and he read between the lines with a glance.

"You're not lying to me, are you? You must be literate, aren't you? There's a translation down there. Lovielle looked at Zero in disbelief.

"Maybe......" Zero replied with a frown, "do you know where there are more books about this kind of text?"

"Yes, yes......" Loviel said as she got up and walked over to another shelf, Zero close behind.

After a while, Zero looked at the words in the book, frowned, and was silent.

"How's that? can you understand?" Loviel asked out loud when she saw Zero looking at the book with a serious face, and Zero just stared at the book and shook his head.

He shook his head just to keep the little girl from being suspicious, in fact, he could understand all these ancient characters! This is too unbelievable, he has only been in this world for a long time, and this world is very different from the place where he lived before, and he does not understand the words at all. Not to mention that he doesn't belong to this world, and he hasn't been exposed to this language since he was sensible, but he can understand it all.

"Whew...... I'll just say it......" Loviel breathed a sigh of relief, a few minutes ago she thought something strange had happened to her.

"What is this?" Zero was suddenly fascinated by an ancient, intricate circular pattern in the center of a page.

Lovele glanced at the pattern and replied, "Vision." ”

"God's Eye?"

"It's written below, Shura's Hitomi. Legend has it that the Shura Divine Lord used these eyes to perceive the six realms and look through reincarnation. He saw the continuous battles in the mortal world, the violent slaughter raging, and deeply felt the ignorance of mortals, so he sent down divine punishment and withdrew the power generously bestowed on mankind by the Heavenly Dao Divine Lord. On that day, a great catastrophe befell the earth, and the tiny human beings were powerless in the face of divine punishment, and mourning was everywhere, and the sky was stained red with blood, and the sun and moon were without light......"

"Shura...... Divine punishment ......," Zero muttered to himself.

Loviel's voice seemed to grow smaller and smaller in his ears, and his soul flew farther and farther away as if it had detached from his body. Far beyond the universe, the stars flew away, time slowly froze, and in a whirlwind, he seemed to have returned to that ancient and wild era.
