Chapter 4: Investigation of Amnesia
Lloyd and the others took Qi Ya all the way to the cathedral in the north of the city.
Along the way, Qi Ya didn't cry or make trouble, and her obedient attitude made everyone feel a lot more relieved.
The atmosphere of the cathedral has a sacred flavor. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I feel that even the air in the Great Holy Hall is holy. It has a refreshing taste.
The large church built on the hillside has a magnificent main hall. Taking Kia all the way in, everyone found a nun named Mabur under the introduction of the nun.
Dressed in a well-cut nun's dress, only her face was exposed. Sister Mabur was wiping the table when she saw the crowd come in and stopped what she was doing.
Lloyd explained his intention to her, and Qiya, who had been looking at her surroundings curiously, suddenly laughed: "Lloyd, is this person a nun?" β
Kia's somewhat rude speech immediately drew a slightly condemnatory boo from Theo. Sister Mabur smiled and turned the conversation to Kia: "The amnesiac child you just mentioned is her, right?" Goddess...... Thank you for your guidance to the Lost Lamb. β
Perhaps feeling the thrill of Kia's rescue, Sister Mabur folded her hands and prayed sincerely.
After the prayer, Sister Mabur said solemnly: "There is indeed a secret art in the Church that is passed down in the realm of the mind and spirit...... Moreover, there are also treatments for amnesia. β
Hearing this, everyone in the support department showed relieved expressions, accompanied by a slight exhalation.
"That is, you can get this child's memory back?"
Ellie's voice of joy sounded from the bottom of her heart. Sister Mabur nodded and said, "I can't say for sure, but it's worth a try." ββTime is urgent, so let's give it a try. β
Lloyd was a little curious: "Is Miss Mabur coming in person?" β
"Well, yes. Although there are priests in the church who specialize in this area, unfortunately they rarely come to Crossbell. β
"Oh? Why is that? β
Randy was curious, Crossbell was indeed a little remote, but there were locomotives and airships, and it was very convenient to travel, so why didn't he come?
"Hmm...... Because there are many hidden secrets in the church. Sister Mabur didn't say much, after all, this is a family ugly, and there is no need to publicize it whenever you meet people.
In fact, the church is divided into several departments. The main one who studies the spiritual spell is the [Holy Province], and the [Star Cup Knights] who injured You Chensi and left him with an incurable wound is a subordinate organization of the [Holy Province]. And Archbishop Elalda of Crossbell Cathedral is from the faction of the [Province of Ceremonies], and he has a bad relationship with the [Canonized Province], plus some personal reasons, Archbishop Elalda's attitude towards the [Canonized Province], or the [Knights of the Star Cup], is basically in a state of "extreme hostility".
The Knights of the Star Cup are strictly forbidden to operate in Crossbell, and the movement of the priests belonging to the canonized provinces in Crossbell is extremely restricted. Most of the people who have learned that aspect of the spell are the priests of the [Holy Province], so naturally, no one will be bored with themselves.
Ellie had heard a little that Archbishop Elalda hated canonization, but she was so disgusted that she was really unexpected.
Listening to Sister Mabur's instructions, Kia closed her eyes and took a slow, deep breath. Sister Mabur took out the pendant around her waist, which everyone in the Seven Jewels Church would wear. Aiming it at the door of Kia's head, Sister Mabur also closed her eyes and recited the prayer with all her heart: "In the name of the goddess of emptiness, the seven rays of consecration appear here." β
It is well known that magic can be used with tactical force guides. But few people know that in ancient times, human beings could use magic with their physical bodies after cultivation. Most of the spells inherited by the Qiyao Church are secret techniques handed down from ancient times.
In fact, the original intention of the Tactical Channeler was to make the Church's spells accessible to everyone. Replacing the ascetic human body with sophisticated machinery, it forms a bridge to communicate with the seven veins between heaven and earth, thus triggering a supernatural phenomenon called magic.
It can be said that the tactical guide is a simplified version of the spell. It is precisely because it is a simplified version that the effects of many spells have been weakened. And the spells related to memory are not inherited at all.
With Sister Mabur's words, the pendant in her hand instantly burst into a beautiful light, yellowish, giving people a sense of holiness.
"The golden glory of the sky, the silver glory of knowledge - this fusion is a contract, please make it clear for it, where the missing fragments are!"
With Sister Mabur's words, Kia's body gradually glowed softly milky. Kia snorted softly, as if she had thought of something.
"How does it feel? Little Kia. Anything comes to mind? β
Sister Mabur hastened to ask.
"Hmmm......"
Unexpectedly, Kia was silent. It seems to be thinking about how to describe it. In the end, she explained to her what she had seen with some loss: "I feel that a dark and vast place appears in my head, with a hazy light shining on it, although it is beautiful, but it is also a little scary......"
Dark and expansive? Lloyd searched his mind carefully, Crossbell, is there such a place?
"So, what about the other things? For example, family members or something, or where did you live? β
Sister Mabur didn't expect this to be the case.
This situation is somewhat strange.
If the spell failed, then Kia shouldn't be able to think of anything. If you can remember that scene, it means that the spell has indeed worked. But why is this the only one being recalled?
"I didn't ...... I didn't expect that. β
Kia's voice was also a little lost, and Sister Mabur sighed and said, "No way...... It seems that the usage ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Lloyd's Anigema suddenly rang out, and he made an apologetic expression and ducked to the side to connect the communication.
"Hello, this is the Special Assignments Support Section, Lloyd Bannings."
"Oh, Lord Lloyd. I am Joachim. Have you come to see me once before? β
"Ah, yes. Do you have time now? β
"Well, no problem. I'll push all appointments until after you. Well, come slowly, don't come early. β
"Ahaha...... Please work hard, doctor. We'll get over it right away. β
"Cut ......"
"Please don't be so blunt that you don't want to work."
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, I would have been happily fishing for koi. Forget it~ Anyway, I'm waiting for you in the hospital. β
On the other hand, Sister Mabur gave Ellie an analysis that there might be something wrong with Kia's nervous system. Because the effect of the spell is psychological suggestion, if the nerve in charge of memory cannot transmit the memory correctly due to various problems, then it is useless to have a strong psychological suggestion. Because she really doesn't know.
Seeing Lloyd come back, Randy hurriedly asked, "Who?" β
"Dr. Joasim - oh, associate professor of pharmacology and neurology at St. Ulsla Medical University."
Thinking that Sister Mabur might not know him, Lloyd made a thoughtful note.
"That's right. That's just right. As we just said, there could be a neurological problem. Perhaps modern medicine is more appropriate than ancient magic. May the Goddess bless you all. β
