The sky was gray and drizzling, and even the eternal light of the Lord Temple of Light seemed to be diluted by the rain and softened a lot. A slender figure passed through the rain, holding a bouquet of flowers on her chest, and went straight to a tombstone in the cemetery, she was slightly stunned, there was already someone in front www.biquge.info of this tombstone.
"It's been a year in the blink of an eye, Archbishop Jones. The person in front of the tombstone did not look back, but leaned over and placed a heavy sword broken into several pieces in front of the tomb, "If this sword is not broken, it may already be a holy weapon." ”
"I still like it when you call me by my first name, Oscar. Mary also walked to the grave, placed the flowers next to the broken sword, and stood side by side with Oscar, "The cause and effect of some things are not something that we mortals can see, doing our best is all we can do." ”
"Not only can't I see through cause and effect, but I find that I can't even see through you more and more. Oscar tilted his head and looked at Mary with solemn eyes, "How did you do that?"
"Everyone is unique, and it's normal to not see through it. Mary leaned over and sat in front of the tomb, her eyes looking straight at the tombstone and not knowing what to think about, "Everything has a predetermined cause and effect, as long as you follow the trend of it, we mortals still have too few things to control." ”
"Mary, you know what I'm asking!" Oscar frowned and squatted down, "Even though you're the archbishop, we're in the same boat about Bright!
"The more you know, the more ignorant you become, don't you still understand this truth? Mary smiled lightly, no longer hung Oscar's appetite, and said, "The gods are not omnipotent, but omnipotent. ”
When Oscar heard this, he couldn't understand it for a while. The sentence that Mary said is actually a very common sentence, the gods are not omnipotent, and xx is omnipotent. The xx can be anything, anything, anyone, and this phrase first originated from the mouths of unbelievers, and was meant to flaunt human nature above divinity. But it will be placed here, and Oscar is hearing it for the first time.
"No matter what kind of magic or what kind of contract, they all have their own principles of action, and as long as you understand the principles in them, you will find that the so-called laws are nothing more than that. Mary stroked the tombstone in front of her with her bare hands, thoughtful.
Oscar raised his eyebrows, "The law you analyzed?"
"It's just a lie detector magic, but all spells have their range of effect, and the scope of action of lie detection magic is only limited to the heart and lungs, cheeks, and eye pupils of the person being cast, and it has no function of reading the memories in the brain. Direct access to memory already involves the power of the law level, and even if there is, it should be a level 10 legendary magic, and it will not appear in the Ameisia plane. ”
Oscar nodded, surprised by Mary's understanding of the law, but he still wondered, "Even if you can't read memories, the function of polygraph is real." As far as I know, when people lie, their heartbeat and breathing will increase involuntarily, which can be avoided by people who have been specially trained, but the instantaneous dilation of the pupils is completely uncontrollable, and even if the magic and fighting qi are carefully controlled, the muscles at the pupils cannot be controlled. ”
"You're right, but those reactions are all due to knowing that you're lying, but what if you think you're telling the truth?" the corners of Mary's mouth turned up, bending into a good-looking arc, "The ultimate in lying is not to deceive others, but to deceive yourself." ”
"Fool yourself?" Oscar took a few steps back at the answer, "How is this possible?"
"The biggest thing is the truth! Imagine in your mind that all details are causally consistent, the more detailed the better, it can't just be a sentence, but a fragment in your mind, even if it's a detail that you ignore in every scene. Until I can't tell whether it really happened or not, at that time, this itself is real. Mary sighed, but she didn't know what she was sighing, "I imagined a person who was absolutely devout to the god of light, so how could I do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy to murder my companions?"
Oscar's chest continued to rise and fall, if it became real, then what was real? Oscar doesn't know when he began to find out that he used to be a little friend every day, and he became confused, and he wanted to catch the familiar her, but he only caught a phantom. Is he too stupid? He only knows how to charge indomitably on the battlefield, and when he looks back, he realizes that the companion who assisted him behind him has long been on the top of the towering peak.
"Your heart is upset. Mary Sakura's lips opened lightly, and she spat out a fact, "These conspiracies and things like that, just let me deal with them." You are a warrior, you should be a profession that is fearless and fearless, and you don't have to think too much about irrelevant things, and if your beliefs are no longer strong, they are no longer useful. Mary turned her head, her gaze touching Oscar's, "I don't want you to die so early." ”
Oscar noticed that his tight, solid muscles were shaking involuntarily, and he chattered his teeth and nodded mechanically.
Seeing Oscar nodding, Mary smiled, she reached out and patted Oscar's cheek gently, "That's right, give me a good life." ”
Mary leaves the cemetery, leaving Oscar alone there, as if it were also a tombstone.
As soon as Mary left the cemetery, a woman in a warlock's robe ran up to her, and she ran up to Mary, shaking a contract in her hand, "Sign it, Mary! I gave up visiting the magic fair and ran back, don't forget the benefits you promised me." ”
This female warlock is Ashley, she and Meili used to be very good friends, but she didn't want to work hard to cultivate, and she is still an intermediate warlock, only the charm is a small achievement, and she only practiced to seduce men.
"Ashley, well done, you'll get the reward you deserve. Hearing that she was still calling her by name, Mary returned to her original state with a slight raise of her eyebrows, took the contract and looked at it carefully, and put it in her arms.
"You've just come in time to accompany me to see Cardinal Loew's room. Mary took Ashley's hand and walked towards the side hall together.
"Loew's room? ha, that's huge! let's go see what's going on!" Ashley still cried out without any thoughts.
In the main temple, each bishop has a separate room, while the cardinal's room is more high-end and luxurious, and the number of rooms is several times more than that of the bishop.
At this time, the young priests of the church were constantly coming and going in Loew's room, collecting evidence of their collaboration in various rooms, and although the man was dead, he still needed to close the coffin. When the priests saw Mary and Ashley coming, they all took the initiative to salute and say hello. Now that Mary is an archbishop, sitting in the position of archbishop at such an age, it is unique in the history of the Church of Light.
Soon, a gray-haired old priest, who was in charge of collecting evidence here, trotted over. He came up to Mary and saluted, "Archbishop Jones, do you have any commands?"
"I'm just coming over and having a casual look, so I don't need to be accompanied, so you can go ahead and get busy. As soon as she said that, she walked around as if she had just come to see the room.
The old priest has lived a long time, and although he is not favored by the god of light, he is still only a fourth-level priest, but he is extremely good at observing words and feelings. After listening to Mary's words and thinking for a while, she dragged over one of her priests and ordered, "Go and inform all those who are here, and when you see where Archbishop Jones is, immediately put down your work, and take the initiative to avoid it first, Archbishop Jones has important things to do." ”
The old priest didn't know what Mary was here for, but with Love dead and Mary as the new cardinal, it was a foregone conclusion that their job was just a matter of routine, and there was no need to upset Mary. It didn't matter what Mary was here for, even if she was here to falsify evidence of Loew's collaboration with the enemy, it had nothing to do with the old priest.
Ashley didn't know which room she ran to, and Mary looked from room to room, and found that many valuable magic items and scrolls and books that might involve secrets had been transferred, which was in Mary's prediction, anyway, she didn't come for those valuable things, Mary's real purpose was those worthless money.
Arriving at Loew's vault, Mary saw several piles of gold coins stacked haphazardly in the middle of the room, so that they could be easily accessed at any time. For the strong, worldly gold coins are no longer in sight. Because among the magic items, even if a magic crystal is exchanged for gold coins, the volume will increase by more than ten times. The trading of magic items is a large transaction, and of course people do not carry so many gold coins with them, so gold coins have gradually faded out of the trading system of the upper society. However, nothing is absolute, and in some cases gold coins will have a special purpose.
Mary pulled out a dark piece of paper from her bosom, it was the Destiny Book, and she used her slender nails to draw a line on Darko Niecrems' name.
"Those who have died, just stay in hell and don't run out and make trouble again. As Mei Li said to herself, a layer of red brilliance radiated from the life spectrum, and then the Libra dagger logo on it gradually protruded, becoming a three-dimensional scale, and this Libra floated into the air. The name of Darko Nike Remmons also floated from the paper to the weighing pan on the left, as if it had weight, the phantom of the name pressed down the weighing pan on the left, and the dagger that played the role of a pointer in the center also deviated to the far left, while the weighing pan on the right where the weight was placed was raised high, but then the weighing pan on the right lit up with a contract light, and shot on the gold coins piled up in the vault, the gold coins disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dagger hand gradually turned to the right. When there was only a small pile of gold coins left on the ground, the dagger pointer was pointed at the center, and the shadow of the three-dimensional scale gradually fell back to the life spectrum, and the name of Darko Nike Remones on it had turned red.
Ashley also entered the vault at some point, came behind Mary, and saw the symbol of the dagger on that scale, and couldn't help but shudder, "Mary...... Did you just buy that Daktronics' life?"
"As you can see. Mary brought the book closer to Ashley, "And with the contract you signed with him, you can know his life and death at any time." Because the contractor dies, the light of the contract will dissipate. In case the Vitamin Guild fails, it's not too late for me to think of anything else. ”
Ashley seemed to be afraid of this thin piece of paper, and desperately ducked backwards, until she retreated to the door, before she felt safer, and then wondered, "But, why did you sign a seven-year contract with him? If you want to know the information of his life and death, why not simply extend the time limit a little more?"
"Seven years later, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. Mary waved her hand and walked out of the room first, so that Ashley could not hear Mary's faint sigh, "Because by then, I have become a god." ”
