Chapter 57: Crossbell's Longest Day (19)

Inside the fortress, there is actually an underground lake, and the huge coat of arms made of bluestone material serves as a foothold, which makes people sigh at the greatness of the ancients.

Ascending along the coat of arms, a staircase is visible, at the top of which is a device resembling a large celestial globe, the support of which is made of unknown metal and has been immortalized over the years. The sphere is made of transparent material and has a hollow interior that can accommodate about a child.

Around the celestial globe, three perennial candlesticks defend the sphere with equilateral triangles, creating an inexplicable sacredness.

Lloyd, who had seen the White Note, recognized it at a glance, and this was the place where Kia slept.

In contrast to the gloomy surroundings of the fortress, the words that Kia had once said came back to Lloyd's mind.

――How to put it, a big, dark place came to mind. There was a vague light on it, which was beautiful, but a little scary.

"Yes, that's what she said." Lloyd understood.

"Hehe, that's good." A familiar chuckle came from ahead, and on the platform in the middle of the stone steps, Joachim, dressed in a heretical priest's robe and with short blue hair, walked out with a strange-shaped cane.

Several masters present were shocked, no one found out about his existence at such a close distance?

Li En silently opened his heart's eyes, and in the vast space, the aura and miasma were entangled, and it was this vision that interfered with the perception of several people.

In the eyes of his heart, Joachim seems to be not full of breath, but in fact, there is a huge amount of power in his body. It is different from the miasma of external filth, but closer to the pure silver of wisdom.

Only to this extent is not our opponent, and only ** is left to pay attention to - in the blink of an eye, Dawn came to a conclusion.

Joachim walked down the stone steps without hurry, and said with the gesture of his master: "-Welcome to our sacred place of origin, the members of the Special Support Section and the guests of the Guerrilla Association."

This kind of calm and unhurried posture made everyone frown slightly, where did the confidence come from at the end of the road?

However, this will not deter everyone from their determination to arrest him, and Lloyd stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Joachim Jonta, I'll go straight to the point." Immediately released those who had taken "True Knowledge" and were manipulated by you, although I don't know the specific method, but I know that the manipulator is you! ”

"Oh, yes." Joachim's submissive attitude stunned people, but then the next words went back to square one, "I also said when I was in the IBC building, as long as I return Master Kia to me, I will stop immediately." ”

The four of the support department are not in one place, are you ** knocked your head bad? Or do you have nothing to do to provoke the enemy to play? Actually, they're all wrong.,It's just a war between Lolita.。

"What's going on with this guy? The personality is as bad as the professor. Esther whispered and Joshua bit her ear.

"Wiseman hasn't been as crazy as he is." Joshua sighed, how could there be such a madman everywhere?

"Well, a professor, an associate professor, it's a perfect match, isn't it?" Rien laughed.

"Just thinking about it makes people's hairs stand on end." Esther fights a cold war.

"Professor, is the next associate professor a lecturer?" Thoughts that Lixia thought were ridiculous to herself.

"Haha, maybe that's the case." Li En seriously admitted that eighty percent of Kondo's black history was young, and Pharaoh really spared no effort to control the black clergy.

"Oh, yes, you guys don't talk like that." Joachim was still so calm, "Lord Kia was originally the Son of God worshiped by our Order, so what's wrong with you returning her to me?" ”

"Think about what you did six years ago, how can we hand over Kia to someone like you." Lloyd said angrily.

"Let's not talk about this for now, tell us Xiaoqi's life experience, you should know her origin very well." Ellie interrupts the argument between the two loliticons. (Because the status of the main palace is threatened.) )

"Well, I can't tell anyone who hasn't reached True Knowledge, but I'll tell you this time." Maybe it's because he thinks it's the same Lolita, maybe it's the chance to win, or maybe it's just that he needs someone to listen for 6 years, Joachim didn't hide, "It seems that you still think that Lord Kia was born in this era?" ”

As if pleased with the surprise of several people, Joachim turned to look at the "celestial globe": "Until a month ago, Lord Kia had been sleeping there, in this altar-like cradle, as if in a light sleep, in a long sleep of more than five hundred years. ”

Normal people would not believe this kind of words, but the four of Lloyd instinctively did not believe it. But the guerrillas who have experienced the Liber mutation and seen the thousand-year-old legacy are somewhat convinced.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so surprised, do you?" Joachim's face was condescending, "Even if it is impossible with modern technology, it is possible with ancient technology-"

Rien's eyes lit up in an instant, and the abnormality was immediately noticed by Selestie, who was on the other end of the spiritual link.

"What's wrong? It's rare to see you like this? ”

"I want to make a copy of that instrument."

"Why?"

"After the first time I was in tune with the riders, I would have a short hibernation period, and if I did, I should be able to maintain my physical condition at its peak."

"I see, I'm interested in the alchemy civilization of the Kurois clan."

Riene and Selestie's discussion was left to rest, and Joachim continued his explanation, even though he was also a poor man kept in the dark.

"Five hundred years ago, there was a group of alchemists studying ancient relics. Legend has it that this altar was built on the basis of their technology, and since then, Kia-sama has fallen into a long slumber for five hundred years (yes, the Great Sage). Of course, this is the case with no one in the Order who knows his origins. ”

Disappointment is disappointment

The pants are all off, and you show this to your friends?

No, I thought I could get her past back for Kia.

"What are you grieving about?" Joachim laughed, "Kia-sama doesn't need anything to do! Because she is about to become a true god! ”

"God, who is God?" Estelle asked.

"Literally, of course." Joachim was almost insane, "You should almost be aware of the truth, Edest, the Goddess of the Sky, that kind of thing doesn't exist!" Everything is a lie made up by the Qiyao Church, why don't you understand it yet! ”

Is this thing crazy? How could anyone doubt the existence of the goddess?

Not surprisingly, few of the natives of Semlia would doubt the existence of the Goddess of the Sky, with the exception of Lai En, who believes that Edes exists, but not necessarily a god in the true sense of the word.

In the face of doubts, Joachim looked proud that everyone was drunk and I was alone: "Unbelievable? Yet this is the doctrine of our D∴G Order. Although it is often misunderstood, we are not demon-worshipping orders, but we just use the concept of demons to deny the goddess because the concept of demons is just applicable. Fighting poison with poison is what it is. ”

"What's the joke! In that case, why do you want to do such a cruel thing, everyone, everyone cried out in pain, and I heard that there is a more cruel place than where I am" Hearing this fallacy, Tio's delicate little face was first angry, then sad, and finally shed tears, "Why do you do that kind of thing if you don't worship demons?"

Theo's tears touched his companions, but not the mad Yoachim, and he smiled undiminishedly: "Theo Prato, I remember your name." In Altaïr's base, the test subject who showed excellent sensing ability was hey, I didn't expect to meet the test subject himself in this form. ”

Theo, whose heart was full of grief, did not speak, and Lloyd continued to ask: "What is the purpose of all kinds of cruel rituals you are performing in strongholds all over the mainland?" ”

"Oh, don't you understand?" Joachim was surprised, "All experiments are aimed at improving the completion of True Knowledge, and the explosion of strong ideas and potential abilities displayed by human beings in the limit state is really suitable for improving the completion of True Knowledge." Incidentally, the reason why the majority of the subjects are children is simply due to the accuracy of the data sample. The pre-pubertal subject is young and pure, so in every way it is comparative—"

Theo closed his eyes and covered his ears, unable to bear to listen.

"Say no more!" Lloyd scolded with a grim face.

"Give me enough to stop, you inhuman" is a very serious word for Ellie, who is well-cultivated.

"I didn't expect that there are even more evil guys than "Us"." You're wrong, Randy, you're just mercenaries, not evil.

One side was angry, the other side was indifferent, and the audience was silent.

Dead.
