Chapter 367: The Bird of Hermes is My Name
Of course, it would be a bit harsh to accuse countries of being blind to the state because of this. Because right now, they really don't understand the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, there is a more important reason why Richard insists on visiting Bishop Paul today, in addition to asking for support.
He wondered if the Book of the Dead in Beruni's hand could have come from the Church of Light. In other words, he was a little suspicious that after the seizure of the Book of the Dead, it was only verbally announced that it would be destroyed, but in fact it was secretly preserved and eventually obtained by Beruni.
The idea made sense from a conspiracy theory perspective, but it wasn't so gloomy that Richard didn't even dare to mention it to Vera. But he felt that if it had happened, he would have been able to hide it from the top leaders of the church, like Paul.
In fact, if the truth is so, it is not a relief.
It's a pity that after such a long time, Paul's reaction made the lord's heart sink a little bit.
So he went straight to the point and simply asked, "Bishop, are you sure that the Church really destroyed a book of the dead back then, and is there any evidence other than the canonical records?"
"Richard!" Vera looked unpleasant.
"My good lord, do you doubt the purity of our faith?" Paul raised an eyebrow, "of course I am quite sure that, apart from the scriptures, the Church still has a part of the dregs that cannot be purified, and there is no room for falsification at all. ”
"Well, I was abrupt. Richard nodded.
He now has more information at his disposal than anyone else, and should immediately tell the world if he can.
It's a pity that some of them can't be talked about at all, such as the Book of the Dead and the New World, which will set you on fire if you become known to outsiders. Although the lord is not a person who is a fly camp dog, he is definitely not selfless enough to fulfill the big self and sacrifice the small self, let alone entrust his net worth and life to others.
Therefore, he had to find a reasonable and legal source for this information, at least on the surface.
It's as if you had to concoct a fabricated "Cehri" when you were using the Book of the Dead to control pollution, and this rationality is sometimes crucial.
And right now, there is a good opportunity.
"Bishop Paul, how have you considered our request? ”
"You must be crazy to make such a request. Paul took off his soft hat and pinched his eyebrows, his elegant and handsome face full of tangles and struggles.
Richard's heart sank, and he wanted to say that it was not so easy to move the Holy Light Church. After all, the kind of people like Bédrick have always been in the minority.
It's just that this makes things a lot more troublesome.
"I must have been crazy to agree. ”
"Holy Light, may you not be fooling around. Bishop Paul smiled and held out his hand to Richard, "But my support is not unconditional—first, it is impossible to take on a manifestly unrealistic task for the demands of the Alpine Fort, and second, the scourge of the undead must not be delayed for too long. ”
"It was a pleasure to work with. Lord Lord's smile and clenched.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since he became the Bishop of Pompeii, Paul, a handsome old man who was once very naïve, has obviously changed into an old fox.
Although he superficially agreed to the request of Takayama Fort, he would not take on too difficult tasks, and secondly, he could not delay it for too long.
In fact, it is not equivalent to only making concessions on the issue of timing choice, which is insignificant one day earlier or later, and selling a good favor without cost.
Fortunately, this level of help was more than enough for Richard.
Next, it's time to watch his performance.
............
Back at Takayama Castle, the lord set off for the New World without even having time to rest.
After being promoted to the Moonlight Sanctuary, you can use the geomagnetism to cancel out gravity and fly, which is several times faster than the previous magnetic power.
In just an hour, we have arrived at the Goliath Gap. Continue to fly for a while, then follow the tunnel dug by the sand spider into the ground.
The underground cavern is still dark and silent, and no matter how many times you come, you can't get used to it, and it's hard to imagine how Elizabeth has spent thousands of years. He snapped his fingers vigorously, and the glowing fungus emitted a faint light from the rock wall, and soon there was a splash of water.
A mermaid swims nimbly to the edge of the lake, and its white and tender toes step on the hard and cold rock, step by step out of the water.
The gauze skirt soaked in black source blood tightly fits the body, outlining the curves of the body and is extremely full, but she doesn't care at all, there is a kind of evil charm that is not like mortals.
The lord took out a swordsman's suit sewn to her size and threw it over.
"How's the recovery?" he said, turning his back and counting the clusters on the wall, as Elizabeth stumbled to change her clothes.
It is precisely because the other party is very frank that it is a little embarrassing to make the lord so thick-skinned.
"It's fine. "The voice was so cold that it barely contained emotion, exactly the same as when it was in the Goliath Gap showdown.
It is clear that as the spiritual source is restored, Elizabeth is also regaining her lost self-confidence.
"My lord, is it time to fight?"
"yes. The lord turned.
Elizabeth, who was full of indifference, was dressed in a swordsman's suit, like a thorny frost rose, extremely heroic, where was the crying bag she looked like in the high mountain castle before.
She took turns twisting her fingers, and the knuckles rattled slightly
"Your armor. "Take out a set of flame thorn armor made of fire demon skin from the space ring.
"Your weapon. "The highest grade of Oblivion Stainless Steel, doped with ten percent Mitrongen wind-ground alcosm powder, was forged into a hideous Fangtian Painting Halberd more than two meters long.
It is certainly not as good as the dragon slaying sword that has been confiscated by the lord, but it is already the highest crystallization of the blacksmith workshop of Alpine Castle.
Although it has not undergone any enchantment, it can definitely bring no less help to a true martial arts master than an alchemy weapon.
"Do you like it?"
The hundred-pound halberd was as light as a feather in Elizabeth's hand, and when she played it twice, there was a continuous whistling of wind between the square inches. It's like a dragon dance under the moon, and it's like waves on the sea!
With excellent martial arts to a certain level, all kinds of weapons are at hand. So it was with Richard, and so was Elizabeth.
"Of course I do. Carrying the halberd, she closed her eyes.
In the bleak underground cavern, the faint blue light produced by some glowing mushrooms shone on her face, like a dream.
"I like this long-lost power, and I like this hideous weapon. ”
"I read a sentence in the book - the bird of Hermes is my name, and it devours its own wings to control my heart. It means that only when you lose what you do best can you see your heart thoroughly. She was laughing, "I'm fine, I've never been so good." ”
