Chapter 157: Clues

Let's start with the most conspicuous things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The temple is not large and has fewer furnishings inside.

In addition to the "altar" with a staff inserted on it, the most conspicuous thing is the shrine behind the "altar".

"Let's look at the shrine first."

Night Moon stepped forward and found a portrait of the shrine.

The depicted figure is dressed in an intricate white robe, with a high crown on his head and a ribbon on his shoulder.

Inferred from the shape of the costume, this was a grand dress that only the pope was entitled to wear.

However, the person in the painting is a beautiful young man with a feminine temperament.

"Is this the former Sage and Pope of the Cult of Light, Christ?"

He was fifty or sixty years old when he died, is it the image of his youth?

Just as I was about to take a closer look, the figure in the painting moved on its own.

I saw it turn around and look at the night moon.

The eyes are facing each other.

Then, the figure's eyes flashed, and two rays of light shot out, heading straight for the forehead of the night moon.

Although Night Moon felt a little sudden, she didn't dodge or cast a spell to resist, and let the light shoot at her.

"Well, it seems to be some relatively complete soul fragments that put together memory information."

Then, her mind sank into a vision.

The environment in the illusion is quite realistic, and roughly records the life of the person in the portrait.

The "main character" is a teenager who looks even more beautiful than in the portrait.

He has been known as a genius among geniuses since he was a child, and he is doted on by his teachers and loved by his juniors.

As a teenager, this person reached the rank of grandmaster.

Soon after, the boy's teacher, the former Pope, died. So at a young age, as the best student of his teacher, he naturally took charge of the Cult of Light, which was still a small local sect at that time.

Later, he met a handsome foreign young man by chance, and the two got along very happily and their relationship became stronger.

Finally, one day, the young man confided in his ambition to dominate the world.

The young man is just the patriarch of a down-and-out small family, competing for hegemony in the world or something, and at this time it seems that it is just a fool's dream.

But instead of laughing at him, the genius boy offered advice, donated money and materials, and provided talents from the sect for his best friends.

However, the strength is not enough, and it was still a fantasy for the two of them at that time to dominate the world or something.

Neither gave up.

A few years later, the boy deduced the whereabouts of an artifact from several ancient books.

So he went to the ends of the world with thirteen faithful retinues.

This transition is long and dangerous, and the boy overcomes all obstacles and leaves behind countless legends.

These legends, which are still recorded in the history books and the Holy Book of Light, have been denounced by later historians as hearsay and wild history without evidence.

After all the hardships, the boy finally snatched the artifact from an incomparably large but vague monster in a fantasy world.

And not one, but six.

It is the six artifacts that are familiar to all the people of the empire - the Holy See's "Divine Grace", "Divine Might", and "Divine Wrath", as well as the royal "Starlight" and "Galaxy". Plus the "Sword of Daylight and Radiance" that the boy kept for himself.

This artifact in the illusion is indeed the staff in front of you.

"Didn't the history books record errors......

The illusion continues.

The boy is back, back to the youth.

Of the fourteen people in the group, he was the only one who came back alive.

The boy didn't even have time to hurt, and he began to rely on the power of the artifact to help the youth coup d'Γ©tat and seize the throne, and help the youth destroy other countries, even including the destruction of the boy's own home country.

Time passed year after year.

The kingdom of youth is getting stronger and stronger, and it is already the number one power in the human world, and its sphere of influence has reached the limit of the southern territory of mankind, and it has begun a war with orcs and other alien races......

Finally, the empire was founded.

The young man is getting old day by day, but the young man has always remained young and beautiful under the effect of the "Sword of Daylight and Radiance" in his hand, and his personal strength has also increased rapidly, and he has even touched the threshold of the Holy Order.

Everything went so well.

Until one day, disaster happened.

The monster that lost the artifact did not die, but became dormant over the years and became more and more terrifying.

It seems to have finally decided to regain what it had lost.

From the far north, the monsters raised clouds that covered the sky and flooded the land, and the kingdoms built by various humanoids were destroyed one by one by the monsters that crossed the border.

The monster's goal is clear, it is the boy who has just helped the youth build an empire.

So after a period of hesitation, the "boy" arranged the aftermath and went to face the powerful monster alone.

The illusion ends.

Obviously, the boy is Christ, and the youth is naturally Wright I.

This illusion allows people to experience the magnificent life of this saint.

However, it did not help to take away the "sword" in any way.

And I don't know what the reason is, many events in this fantasy world are passed by.

In particular, what the vague monster looked like, how the thirteen followers died, how the young man who was only at the Grandmaster level at that time took the artifact from the catastrophic monster, how the final sealing battle was carried out, and how the path to the Holy Land of Viadole Rosa was formed, etc., were not explained.

Maybe it's because the soul and memory are already missing, or maybe the owner of the memory has forgotten.

However, it makes no sense that some small things are recorded, and such big things are forgotten.

For example, in my memory, the figure of the sad-faced old man Devis outside the "Wall of Woning" has appeared many times.

He was actually a contemporary of the sage, and he looked even older than the sage, but the old man did not have the power he has now, and he usually appeared as a bitter persuader when the "youth" wanted to take risks.

At that time, he didn't always have a sad expression on his face.

With such an old qualification, it is no wonder that there are rumors that he should be the pope, and it is no wonder that the Holy Land will be handed over to him.

But compared to the big events just now, these things about Devis seem particularly trivial and boring, why haven't these things been forgotten?

In terms of conspiracy theories, or inferences from Night Moon, these memories may have been pruned and tampered with.

The reason for the pruning is definitely to hide something, and the secret of pulling out the "sword" may be hidden in these defects and tampered parts.

However, because she really didn't have a clue, Yeyue thought for a while, then put these clues aside for the time being, and turned around to go back to the altar.

――――――――――――――

After a few more attempts to pull out her staff, she shook her head and sighed, and began to look for clues again.

Yeyue's spiritual power is very weak, and there is no army of undead around him to provide him with soul power, although he has an artifact in his body, he is limited by the environment, so he can only slowly search the nearby environment inch by inch.

Fortunately, the temple is not large, and it doesn't seem like the amount of work is too exaggerated.

Nightmoon first took a closer look at the staff's condition with scanning magic.

And so she discovered something wonderful.

The lower part of the staff seems to be one with the "altar".

And it's not like it's "integrated" the day after tomorrow, but it's the same item by nature.

There is even a complete channel for energy circulation, and that passage is the vein-like lines that Night Moon saw on the staff at the beginning.

In fact, this pattern is really like a blood vessel all over the staff and the "altar", and there is no "handle" structure in the altar at all. In other words, the whole altar is actually the handle of the staff.

This is something stranger than what the Night Moon envisions.

What she thought was the most strange thing was that this staff was the grip of a greatsword that was inserted into the earth completely from the "altar". After all, its name is "Sword of Daylight and Radiance", isn't it?

So she began to scan the base of the "altar".

She found the same thing again - the base was one with the foundation of the temple.

The "veins" are not confined to the "altar" and the "sword of day and radiance", but extend into the foundations of the entire temple.

Night Moon now has a limited scanning range, so you can only walk around and look at it.

But as far as the "field of vision" can see, there are such "blood vessels" and the "energy flow" in them.

She had an assumption, so she walked straight out of the temple and inspected the foundations of the temple.

Really.

The foundations of the temple seem to be one with the whole earth.

Although the full picture cannot be seen due to the limited spiritual power, the night moon still easily sketches a picture of the flow of energy - the space behind the "Wall of Wonin" is constantly gathering the energy and light magic of the outside world, and this "blood vessel" all over the earth is first transported and concentrated to the temple, then from the temple to the "altar", and finally from the "altar" to the "sword of day and light".

After that, a part of the energy flows out of the "sword" like blood circulation, and supplies the entire space.

The whole space is a whole, and the core of this whole is the half of the staff in front of you.

Only when this is pulled out can there be ghosts.
