Act 17: The Chamber of Secrets (II)
Returned to the Great Chapel, but Bishop Eldridge was no longer here.
Later, Rosen learned that Bishop Eldridge was not the one who had full control over the Templars, not even the Holy City of Ramirez.
Bishop Eldridge is more symbolic, and he is often secluded on weekdays, creating an impression of mystery.
Of course, Rosen believes that this is also very closely related to Bishop Eldridge's attack many years ago, although from the perspective of the Templar, Bishop Eldridge killed several high-level mages, but Rosen believes that the battle must not be a one-sided crushing, but most likely a struggle between the two sides, and in the end Bishop Eldridge won such a result.
Therefore, Bishop Eldridge has naturally been injured, and he has been recuperating all these years, which has given other forces within the Holy Church the opportunity to gradually control power, otherwise with Bishop Eldridge's strength, how could he be divided into power so simply, there must be some reason that restricts him.
By now, Bishop Eldridge had recovered most of his strength, but the Templar had already spawned several factions over the years, and although it was very large from the outside, internally, the Templar was no longer united.
This factional struggle intensified under the catalyst of the arrival of the people of Chaos, and in the end, Bishop Eldridge could only take the opportunity of the Rosen United Templar to consolidate the resources within the Templar.
Rosen and Irandall walked into the Great Chapel, where several clerics were already present.
Because the Great Holy Church has extremely valuable historical value, there are people all year round whether it is maintenance or research, but there are not many people who really worship the statue of the goddess here, and several priests in the Great Holy Church are now conducting stained glass research work.
They faithfully recorded the paintings on the glass with divine magic, rubbed them on specially treated paper, and repeated this process over and over again, but they did not feel bored at all, but were cautious, for fear that the magic would affect those ancient paintings that had been passed down for thousands of years.
According to Irandall, these people regularly record the glass paintings every year to study the evolution of these paintings, to understand how ancient people made these brilliant glasses, and to know that because different colors require different temperatures to be fired, it is difficult to reproduce this type of glass even with modern craftsmanship technology, which is why these paintings have extremely high historical research value.
These priests are the people who work hard in the Great Basilica of RamΓrez to carry out the restoration and research of cultural relics.
When they saw someone come in, they glanced at it, recognized Elandall, and said nothing more.
Rosen looked at the position of the goddess statue in front of him, the statue was still solemn, with a bit of mystery, like the core of the entire Great Temple, he glanced at the document in his hand again, which clearly wrote the words "The entrance to the secret room" behind the base of the goddess statue was clearly written in juanxiu handwriting.
"Do you walk to the back of the statue of the goddess in full view and look for the entrance......
It was such a challenging move at first, and Lawson was a little helpless, but fortunately, the Great Sanctuary was an extremely important place, so no one usually came here, so as long as they could get the clergy who were studying ancient glass paintings, they could enter the back of the goddess statue with relative ease.
Irandall peeked at Rosen, not knowing what he could do to solve the problem.
The clergy will no doubt finish their work anytime soon, and if Irandall remembers correctly, in a few hours other clergy will be coming over for a regular worship service.
Rosen was composed, he walked along the window on the other side, pretending to admire the paintings, and then came to the statue of the goddess and looked up.
This series of actions did not arouse any suspicion, and Rosen's actions were like those of those who had come to the Great Church for the first time, and the busy clergy continued to bury themselves in their work after only one glance.
Just as Irandall pondered Rosen's next move, a nun stepped into the sanctuary.
"A couple of adults. β
The nun said, her voice tinged with anxiety.
"There seem to be signs of detachment in the painting of the monastery on the north side, and I think you should be informed. β
Hearing the nun's words, the clergy were immediately shocked and fell into a slight state of panic.
"The painted environment of the monastery on the north side is very complicated, and there was some damage during the last inspection, didn't you expect it to come so quickly?"
"I have long said to the old stubborns of those precept houses that they will use magic to deal with it, but they said that there is a certain risk and they kicked me out, but now it's good, if something really happens, they can't afford to pay for ten lives!"
"Don't talk about it, let's go over and see the situation first. β
The clergy chattered and finally shouted at the nun.
"Take us over quickly, don't waste time. β
They packed up and soon followed the nun out of the church.
"...... that just now?"
Irandall frowned slightly, she knew most of the nuns who lived in Ramirez's Great Sanctuary, and the one just now was not any one she knew, thinking of what Rosen said, Irandall guessed most of them.
"Yes, that's Lisa's disguise, and it should actually be done better, like faking the appearance or something, but the clergy immediately messed up as soon as they heard that the artifact was damaged, and it didn't take much effort. β
Lawson shrugged.
On the one hand, because of the presence of Elandall, those clergy did not care too much about the identity of the nuns who came, after all, they were usually devoted to the study of cultural relics, and they were not sensitive to the changes in the nuns' personnel, but if they really used some techniques to disguise themselves as familiar nuns, they were more likely to be exposed.
On the other hand, in the short period of investigation, Lisa also grasped the preferences and behavior patterns of many priests, so that she could formulate a strategy to turn the tiger out of the mountain, but Lisa looked quite like that in a nun's robe.
"I hope the Goddess will forgive us. β
Elandall whispered, and followed Lawson to the back of the statue of the goddess, where there was a nameplate engraved with basic information such as when the statue was made and who made it.
"According to the records of the Inquisitor's predecessors, it is only necessary to twist this nameplate in a specific way......"
Irandall turned the nameplate with force, but he didn't expect the nameplate originally embedded in the statue to be easily turned, and there was a clattering sound of gears turning.
Immediately afterward, the masonry behind the statue of the goddess fell, and a path was opened.
