Chapter 799: The so-called purgatory

"I do know a little bit about your life. ”

As Claire suddenly began to study the Oblivion Text, Evenson had to start learning about the stories of other people in history who had owned the book. This is the so-called learning from history, and see if you can find some things that Claire needs to pay attention to.

So as the closest to the present, the previous owner of the Luocheng Textbook, the famous Bluebeard Demon Marshal Guildres is a person who absolutely can't get around. So Evenson didn't dare to say that he knew everything about him, but he still knew a little bit about the general things.

So when he learned that Guildreis had been sentenced to death by the king and the church for studying black magic and committing a series of blasphemous deeds. Evenson was amazed and skeptical of the record.

The church in this world cannot be said to have no trace of mysterious power, just like the hidden church that came into contact with in the process of capturing Locke, they have a trace of holy light power there. But with the departure of that God, the power of the Light has almost reached the point of uselessness.

For millennia, their leaders had to commit themselves to the devil and barely sustain the so-called minimal sacrifice with a policy of appeasement. If this is true of their asceticism, then the Orthodox Church of Rome, who are in ordinary contact with the world, greedy and corrupt, even if they may have the power of the Holy Light at the beginning, must have disappeared later.

And according to the speculation, Guildreth had been studying the taboo in the Oblivion City textbook for eight years, how could he have been caught and executed by those mortals? Unless he kept the book on the shelf during those eight years, or he simply couldn't read the knowledge in the book, and learned nothing.

But now, judging by his characteristics, this is not the case at all.

"It's an honor. At this time, Guildreis put his hand on his chest and bent down to give a deep salute, "I thought I could only be known to the world as a villain in a fairy tale, or a schizophrenic madman, but I didn't expect that there were still people so interested in my real past, which is really an honor, but why is this? Why are you interested in these partial histories? This doesn't seem to be the knowledge point of the exam." ”

"The Textbook of the Snail City. "That book is now in the hands of someone very important to me, so I have to do some research on you." ”

"I see. Gilderes clenched his right fist and knocked it on the palm of his left hand, revealing a sudden realization: "Do you need my seniors to explain some knowledge points?"

"That's not necessary. Evenson shook his head, now that there are two teachers from the Two Realms Walker and the Ancient One jointly assigning homework, how can this be your share in class, "But the only thing I'm curious about is, how can you let go of that book?"

According to Kama Taj's account, the Oblivion City Scripts were recovered from a monument and not stolen from Gilderesk. This only shows that Guildres had abandoned the book at that time.

But as we all know, once those indescribable forces are contaminated, it is not so easy to get out. However, why could Guildres let go so easily, unless he had mastered all the knowledge in that book, but it was absolutely impossible, if that was the case, he would never have remained in human form, he should have become a Krasil.

"It's useless, so naturally there is no need to keep it anymore. But Guildres spread his hands and said rather indifferently, "I have in my heart the sad wish that must be fulfilled, and I seek the forbidden power of that book, but that book cannot satisfy my wish, and naturally there is no value to keep." ”

This sounds quite free, but Evenson doesn't believe it very much, "It's not as simple as you say, the forbidden power in that book has already had an irreversible effect on your body, you are entangled with his power to such an extent, you can still abandon it, is your will really so strong?"

"Irreversible influences, entanglements of power, what do you mean?" Gilderes' eyes were now rotating counterclockwise and clockwise, respectively... This may be an expression of his confusion.

Are you embarrassed to ask me like this?" The corners of Evenson's mouth twitched, "You already have the characteristics of a shallow person, don't think to deny it, your deformed eyes are the best proof of this." ”

This kind of thing can be discovered by any normal person, Guildres is normal when his eyes are closed, and he can even be regarded as a handsome young man who is about to enter the stage of an uncle. But once his eyes are fully opened, this setting is completely ruined, and those eyes are almost like goldfish. Not only is it big but also round, and the eyeballs even want to jump out of the sockets from time to time.

This is too similar to the characteristics of the legendary deep diver.

Who knew that Guildres's two spinning eyes suddenly froze, and he tilted his head slightly to look quite displeased.

Hehe... At this time, the princess of hell, Farina, suddenly couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Guildres's displeased expression, he quickly retracted and explained, "His eyes are born like this, you have to understand the terrible conditions of the Middle Ages." Even nobles can get strange diseases, and nobles still like to marry people who are related by blood, so it's not incomprehensible that the children born are strange. So... The problem with the big eyes wasn't that they were affected by some strange force. ”

"Hmm... Oh... I see..."Evenson scratches your cheek in embarrassment, as if he is taking it for granted. But although he is thick-skinned and not afraid of pain, this slap in the face on the spot came too quickly, and he was really defenseless.

"But... I'm even more curious when you say that. Evenson restrained the embarrassment on his face, and quickly changed the topic, "You and I both know how terrible the knowledge recorded in the textbook of Luoyan City is, but these things can't satisfy your wishes, you have to know that if all those powers are released, even if you wish for world peace or nuclear peace, then what is your wish?"

"Hmph...," Guildres sneered, his shoulders twitching, "and you asked me what my wish was, and it seems that you don't know me as well as I thought." ”

"What can I wish? I have always had a wish, and my wish is to resurrect the pure Holy Maiden! and to follow her again for the blessings of joy. ”

Isn't it, the power in the textbook of Luoyan City can't resurrect a human being?Are you a pirated copy that you haven't subscribed to read?" Evenson suddenly felt that this matter was full of suspicions, but he didn't mention it for the time being, "Since that incomparably pure saint has been inspired by God to devote herself to heaven, why do you forcibly pull it down and let her such a pure existence walk in the filthy world?"

"That's the only thing I must say!" Guildres' voice suddenly became serious, and his round eyes glared straight at Evenson, and his eyes were about to fall out of them. It's definitely not a genetic disease caused by consanguineous marriage, but your parents are deep divers at all.

"The gods that Joan of Arc believes in do not exist at all!" said Guildreis's eyes, "I have done all the blasphemous and cruel things in the past, and when I realized it, I had been on the path of evil for eight years. But neither murder nor the search for evil have ever been punished by God. ”

"I was allowed to do so, and in the end the people who destroyed me were not gods, but greedy human beings like me, and even if the church and the king wanted to put me to death in the name of judgment, in fact, they only wanted to take away my wealth and territory from my hands. ”

"Stopping unethical behavior cannot be called sanctions at all, it is nothing more than greedy plunder!"

Immoral behavior... Evenson nodded in agreement, thinking that you were able to do those behaviors back then, it was indeed because of the real lack of virtue!

"I had hoped that what had happened was nothing more than an illusion, that these were nothing more than the gods trying to destroy me by the hands of mortals, so I had this unrealistic illusion that I would be tied up when they captured me, and then hung like a dead fish on the gallows for seven days, but... Nothing happened, nothing happened! I didn't die from it!"

"So even if such a god really exists, he is just playing with humans. Guildres's eyes looked at Evenson from different directions, "What is there to believe in such a god, so that you can understand the resentment in my heart and the sorrow for the holy maiden?!"

"This... To be honest, I don't quite understand. Evenson scratched the back of his head, "I said, Marshal, I am also helpless when you suddenly say this to me, you should at least look at the people present, which one do you think will believe in God?"

Well, the devil princess of hell, Farina, a warlock who claims to be less evil than herself, is indeed... Well... At this time, Guildres looked at Li Lin again, "This normal-looking young lady, do you believe it?"

Li Lin shook his head, "I believe in Buddhism, and I am still the kind of rational believer who only learns the philosophy and does not worship it." ”

"Oh...," Guildreis nodded, "It looks like I lost my temper, and I'm so embarrassed to suddenly say these indifferent things." ”

"I kind of get it. Evenson tapped his temple slightly, "Your wish is to resurrect Joan of Arc, and when you find that the knowledge in the Oblivion City textbook can't help you do so, you make a deal with Mephisto instead, right?" ”

"That's true!" said this, Gilderes's mood suddenly became high again, and his hands kept waving, "I must save her!" This delicate girl desperately pressed her own weakness in order to save the motherland, and for the insatiable desires of the common people, she firmly believed in the gods, in the motherland, and in justice!"

"In the end, she was betrayed by everything in the world when she became famous, and even so, she died with a smile and generosity, and even if you didn't answer her, she still prayed to heaven! If her soul is still in purgatory, and I don't save her, who will save her?!"

It turned out to be like this, Evenson completely understood, it was very strange that the Oblivion City Sect could not resurrect Joan of Arc, you must know that such a thing as resurrection from the dead may be a miracle among miracles for ordinary people, but it is not a difficult thing for them to be a profound spellcaster.

If the Evenson Soul Stone is used normally, it can resurrect the dead, and even if the body has been dead for a long time, then using spiritism and high-quality evil energy can also cause the same effect as resurrection. Not to mention the forbidden knowledge in the textbook of Luoyan City, even if it is not difficult to reshape a body out of thin air.

However, after eight years of painstaking research and countless cruel experiments, Guildreis came up with the result that it could not be done. Combined with what he just said, there is only one possibility, Joan of Arc's soul is not found, even if he can reshape his body, but he cannot inspire his soul!

"Purgatory... Are you saying that the soul of the contest is not in heaven, but in purgatory, which is neither heaven nor hell...", Evenson thought back for a moment, "but I remember Mephisto clearly saying that he saw Joan of Arc's soul go straight to heaven. ”

"Yes, anyone would think so when they saw the glorious sight of martyrdom, even I thought so at first. Guildles' eyes narrowed, and he said, "But... Joan of Arc must have been in heaven for too long. ”

"I have murdered countless good people, philanthropists, outright pacifists, and patriotic warriors and heroes who deserve to go to heaven in the past time. ”

"But according to my observations, only those warriors and heroes emit those rays when they ascend to heaven, much weaker than Joan of Arc's, but they are the same light. ”

Moreover, the souls of ordinary good people will be reborn on earth after ten or more decades after ascending to heaven, but only the souls of those warriors will decrease in number when they return, and the more excellent the souls of warriors, the greater the chance that they will not return. ”

"There are some that have disappeared without a trace, and there are others... Even if their souls have returned to the human world, they seem to have been precisely cut, representing the personality of their previous lives and the memories hidden in their souls have been completely cut off!"

"So... I call the place where those souls go purgatory!"

"Purgatory...", Evenson's eyes narrowed and he thought for a moment, only the souls of the good warriors were left, which seemed to be the same as the situation of the heroic warriors in Norse mythology, but the Asgardians didn't seem to use it.

Wait a minute... Legend has it that the existence of this heroic warrior is a warrior stored by Odin to deal with the final battle of Ragnarok! Evenson knew that the light produced by the death of those warriors should be the power of the Holy Light.

So if you associate these together, it should be that Naru, who once descended in this world, is collecting these souls that are biased towards the good side and have extremely strong combat ability to store them, and use them to make their own Holy Light army!

And although Naru's work was not finished, he received the order to leave Earth and kidnap God to join the battle, but it seems that the program he left behind is still running automatically.

Really, can't you press the shutdown button before leaving, don't waste electricity?!
