Chapter 52: The Christian Relic 'Elena's Nails'

Sage Elena.

According to the notes of Bishop 'Ferrarete' in his book The Life of a Saint, the Saint Elena was Serbian.

This Serbian state, with a 'democratic republic' political system, 'Serbian' official language, and 'coral', is a landlocked country in southeastern Europe and the central Balkan Peninsula, covering an area of 883.61 million square kilometers.

Of course, in the apostolic era in which Elena lived, the state had not yet been formed, so it is correct that Elena lived and grew up in Magdon, in the Balkans.

Elena's father, 'Licini', was a distant relative of the royal family, but the family was initially religious, so Elena was named 'Penelope' before her baptism.

Elena learned of the Lord's faith from her teacher, 'Aperianus,' and Timothy, a disciple of Saint Pavro, often read the Saint's Epistles to her in order to protect her from the thoughts of her servants.

Because of her strong faith in the Lord, Elena did not want to marry when she grew up, which angered her father Licinius, who miraculously reversed his mind and converted to the Lord when Licinius tried to punish her.

In the next few years, Elena began to travel around the world, preaching the teachings of the Lord, but her actions angered the four kings of the day.

The kings sent people to arrest her and tried to torture her and change her faith in the Lord. In order to protect Elena from death and injury, the Lord Father sent Heaven. to protect her.

Among them the king 'Sadchias' buried Elena in a deep pit, leaving only her head exposed, and put vipers and scorpions around her, but the heavens. Instead, these nasty monsters can't hurt her, thus saving her from harm.

When King Edricchias saw this, he ordered Elena to be sawed in half. But Elena's body was as hard as a stone, and instead she bounced the saw back!

The unwilling King Saidchias, once again ordered Elena to be tied to the waterwheel, trying to drown her with this, God. The waterwheel couldn't turn, and even the river stopped entirely, leaving Elena safe and sound!

King Saidchias's son, 'Sapol', was unwilling to be despised by his father, so he ordered Elena to be driven with iron nails in her feet, sandbags to be placed on her shoulders, and she was put on the reins and led out of the city like an animal.

Elena, who was being held by the executioner's hand, did not change her face, but looked forward to the heavens with a pious expression: "Lord! In front of you, I am indeed a livestock! ”

Feeling this, the Lord Father let the heavens. He shook the earth and devoured the executioner who had killed Elena! After all the hardships, Elena was safe and sound, but in the end, the faith of the inhabitants of the city in the Lord was strengthened, and the helpless kings had to finally release Elena.

After that, Elena came to the 'city of Calypolis' and preached the gospel of the Lord there.

When the local king 'Numerian' learned of this, he tried to kill Elena by throwing her into three red-burned metal oxen, but in the end Elena was unscathed, and the witnesses to this miracle became believers in the Lord.

The prefect 'Wodan' decided that the king's methods were not thorough enough, so he took Elena to the 'City of Constantina', and he put her on a red-hot iron frame, but Elena remained unharmed.

Eventually, Elena came to the 'city of Mesebria,' where she was killed by the king of Sapol, but the Lord brought her back to life, and the king and many of the people saw this miracle and converted to the Lord's sect and were baptized.

In this way, the tribulations of St. Elena and the miracles that happened to her converted more than 100,000 believers!

Eventually, she lay down in a tomb and asked 'Aperianus' to close it, and four days later, a good man secretly opened the tomb and found that Elena was not there.

After that, there were many rumors that people like Elena appeared in various places to preach, and it became a good story for a while.

"This Elena was nailed to her foot by King Saidicias' son 'Sapol', which is how the Christian holy relic, 'Elena's Holy Nail', came from."

A slow voice came from the other end of the phone, causing Fabuti, who was listening, to frown slightly.

"I see."

Fabuti nodded: "Why are you suddenly interested in telling me this?" ”

"Even if I don't tell you, I'm afraid you've already investigated that thing in the wooden box, right? In this case, instead of letting you know the origin of the desecration of this holy artifact, it is better for you to understand it at once. The voice on the other end of the line said.

“……”

Fabuti did not speak, but recalled what had just happened.

Before losing consciousness, he was still in that underground ruined city, fighting against the bespectacled boy who claimed to be the first, but he was put down by the latter with one move, and in retrospect, Fabuti has a feeling of unreality.

can let the famous fire god Loki's own move be put down, how good is the strength of the first person in this new metropolitan development area!

But when he regained consciousness, Fabuti found that he was already outside the development zone, and it was his daughter Aisha who woke him up.

According to Aisha, she actually took her out of the development zone by herself, but she suddenly fainted halfway through, so she saw Aisha shaking herself awake.

However, Fabuti has no impression of this, but it is impossible for her daughter Aisha to lie to herself, what is this? When you lose consciousness, how can there be such a stupid thing as taking your daughter out of the development zone!

And what made Fabuti even more incomprehensible was that he was pierced through his body by the first light knife before he fell into a coma, but after waking up, he found that his body did not even have a single wound. Or is it the other person's ability? Let yourself see such and such illusions?

No way? He is the name of the fire god Loki, and in terms of hallucination pranks, there should be no opponent! Really, what the hell is going on! There are so many things I don't understand!

"What's wrong?" It seemed that the other party had not spoken for a long time, and an inquiring voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, nothing."

Fabuti shook his head lightly, glancing at Aisha, who was squatting on the ground and playing with herself, before he said, "I found the same interesting information when it comes to the holy artifact 'Elena's Holy Spike'. It is said that it was Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, who discovered the true cross, built the Holy Sepulchre, and brought back the Holy Nail, so that the origin of the Holy Nail was known to the world, right? But why is the nail of the Son of God's crucifixion connected to this holy relic, the nail of Elena? Could it be the same nail? ”

"That's what I said."

The voice on the other side of the phone said, "As a holy nail that is full of the blood of God, there are many opinions about its number. It is said that when Constantine the Great's mother, Helena, brought back the nail, she set one on the helmet worn by her son Constantine the Great, one to make a bridle for his horseback, one to the head of the statue of the emperor of the previous era, and the last one to quell a tsunami in the Adriatic. This is the famous 'Four Nails Theory'. ”

"'Four nails said'?" Fabuti was stunned.

"Think about it, how many nails do it take to fix a person to a cross? The most normal answer is four, isn't it? The voice on the other end of the line said.

"Indeed." There is no doubt about the answer, and Fabuti naturally does not indicate any confusion.

"However, some people argue that it is three."

The voice on the other side of the phone continued: "This involves a people called 'Gypsies'. It is said that the Gypsies have always been considered thieves, and this people, indeed, admits that they are not very ashamed of their habit of stealing. They believe that there were originally four nails, and that a gypsy wanted to steal them in the hope that he would not be able to crucify the Son of God, but in the end he succeeded in stealing only one, so it is very strange that the Son of God on the cross had only one nail piercing his feet, which is a typical 'three-nail theory' proposition. ”

"Of course, what I want to say is that whether it is four nails or three nails, the actual number is not exquisite, and the most unreliable thing is that some people actually claim that the number of holy nails is as high as more than a hundred! Therefore, it is not surprising that so many holy nails have been handed down to later generations, and they were used by the son of King Saidchias 'Sapol' to nail Elena's feet, you must know that Elena was already a saint at that time, and to nail such a saint, I thought that only the legendary holy nails could be nailed. ”

"Indeed, the nail that can nail the Son of God is enough to nail the saint Elena."

Fabuti once again expressed his opinion: "Well, for me, this qiē doesn't matter, you pay for me, and I will rob you of the ......, no, it should be brought." ”

"Your words sound a lot of questions." The voice on the other side of the phone said suddenly.

Fabuti paused and said, "I don't dare to say the doubt, but if I want to say it, I still have the same question as before." Your Excellency is the leader of the Satanist Church, right? Even an outsider like me knows about the grievances between your religion and other sects. Why do you want to touch such a holy thing? Don't sue me, Your Excellency wants to use this to clear sin for such a ridiculous purpose, right? ”

"Haha, are you cleared of your sins? I see, it's an interesting idea. ”

A laughing voice came from the other side of the phone: "But ah, my purpose is still above that! This is the biggest show of a lifetime! Let's look forward to that day! ”

"So, it's necessary for you to collect the relics?" Fabuti asked.

"Well, after all, there is more than one holy relic, and it is necessary to collect all the holy relics to achieve the goal. What do you think? After this mission, I have thoroughly recognized your talents, so I think you should understand the meaning of this statement, right? ”

"Long-term cooperation? It doesn't matter, who made you the biggest employer of our 'mischievous fire' at this stage. Fabuti shrugged his shoulders, even though he knew that the other person on the other end of the line couldn't see it.

"Very good, I'll be on the next relic...... collection task right away."

After a long time, Fabuti ended the call, although he was still shocked by what he had just heard: "Hey, it's not a joke, is it? Is it necessary to do such an exaggerated thing just for a holy object? If you're not careful, let alone the Spiritualist world, it's possible that the world will be destroyed! It's crazy enough that I'm getting more and more interested in his purpose. 'Nuwa clan'? Where the next relic is located......"
