Chapter 81: The Spear of Longinus (I)
Regarding the fate of that martial spirit, George V did not see it with his own eyes, but the only thing George V could confirm was that she had died in prison, and from ancient times to the present, the process of becoming a fallen martial spirit is irreversible, which is a fact recognized by the world.
It seems to see the anxiety of George V. Tovey also became silent, why did Elizabeth go to the Danish Strait, John. Tovey knew far better than anyone that in order to dispel George V's worries, John . Tovey hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, "The process of transforming into a fallen martial spirit is irreversible, right, George V." ”
George V didn't know about John. Tovey asked seriously what the reason for the accepted facts of this world was, but the girl nodded seriously, but what if I told you that this process could theoretically be reversed. ”
For some reason, John. When Tovey told George V about this, his voice was so small that even George V, who was a martial spirit, sounded very difficult, but the girl immediately shook her head, "How can it be ......?"
Even the girl herself didn't know why there was a bit of disbelief in her voice, but there was no need for the commander to deceive herself.
"I know you're worried about something, there's a good chance that Hood will turn into that kind of thing, she will slowly forget everyone, slowly be eroded by that power, and finally become a killing machine and survive." John. Tovey's voice was so low, as if he had thought of that kind of picture, his brows furrowed slightly and slowly stretched, he touched his somewhat sore back, and continued, "But I'm pretty sure there was a fallen martial spirit in history who reversed this process. ”
"What?" George V shouted in surprise, and then realized what this would mean, and she subconsciously grabbed John. Tovey's arm and said loudly, "If such a method really exists, why didn't you tell Her Royal Highness the princess earlier, do you know how many of my comrades-in-arms Her Royal Highness sent away by Her Royal Highness the princess, they are all my compatriots!" ”
John. Tovey groaned in pain, "Can you let me go first, you hurt me, George." ”
Perhaps because the girl was too emotional, she subconsciously moved John. Tovey's arm was red and swollen, and if it weren't for George V's subconscious retraction, John was uninjured on the battlefield. Tovey was about to be taken to the hospital because of the reckless actions of his own martial spirit.
George V waved his hand awkwardly and stammered, "Your Excellency, Commander, I didn't mean to... I was just.. It's just too exciting. ”
John. Tovey wiped the sweat from his head and said weakly, "It's okay, I can understand, but can you not be so excited next time, I'm an old bone, I really can't afford to toss." ”
George V's embarrassed expression revealed a little shyness, and the girl nodded hurriedly, "Your Excellency Commander, do you need me to ask the military doctor to come and have a look?" "John. Tovey waved his hand, and the girl graciously pulled over a chair beside her, motioning for the old man to do it.
John. Tovey waved his hand awkwardly and pointed to his lower back, the meaning was obvious.
"It doesn't matter if we sit or not, let's start like this, it's a long story, but the last thing we lack right now is time, at least until the H fleet makes a discovery." Remembering the H Fleet, John. Tovey subconsciously looked at his watch, and found that there was still half an hour before the agreed contact time, and he quickly adjusted his state.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the girl standing in front of him with a worried expression and began to speak, "About how to purify the fallen martial spirit, this is a puzzle that has plagued everyone for thousands of years, at least for us, perhaps because of the vastness of the empire's territory, the Governor's Mansion discovered a chilling fact a few years ago, the birth of the martial spirit is much longer than we thought it would be hundreds of years, but before that, no battle could make the martial spirit appear in the world on a large scale, That would mean tens of millions of people being displaced, millions of human beings dying in the fighting, and that would mean death. ”
Said John. Tovey also subconsciously glanced at the girl's expression, and found that the girl had not changed much, so he continued, "And the traces of their existence can be seen everywhere in the myths of various countries that have been handed down to this day, in ancient times, they were often deified by humans because of the limitations of the times, and even recorded as a legend, in those years, the empire has excavated a large number of documents from the ruins around the world to prove this terrible fact, and they have long appeared on the side of mankind." ”
"By the way, George, do you know the Spear of Longinus?" John. Tovey looked at George V with interest.
"It's... Be... The Romans mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible... Longinus used to pierce Jesus Christ..."
George still knows the story of Longinus's blind eyes being miraculously healed by the blood of Jesus. "Yes... That's it..."John. "We don't know who Jesus Christ really is, maybe only the Pope of the Vatican knows who he really is, but one thing is very certain, and that is that Longinus was not a blind Roman soldier as the Bible says it is, she was a martial spirit, a fallen martial spirit, and the weapon she used to pierce the body of Jesus Christ was her branding weapon." ”
And this weapon has been immortal ever since, not because of how strong the material it is made of, of course, but because it is indestructible on a conceptual level, and even her weapon still has that terrifying power or curse thousands of years later.
The Spear of Longinus, the spear that killed Jesus, is said to save its owner from death and is invincible on the battlefield, but once the Lance is lost, the wielder will die instantly.
"Constantine the Great of the former Byzantine Empire relied on this holy spear to defeat his opponents and sit on the whole world, he marked the boundaries of the new empire with the holy spear in his hand, made the people living on the earth abandon heresy and convert to the Christian faith, and constructed a majestic Christian kingdom of heaven, that is, Constantinople, the capital of the former Byzantine Empire."
"Later the gun passed into the hands of Charlemagne. Charlemagne fought 53 epic wars in his lifetime, and with the blessing of the holy lance, none of them were defeated. Later, Charlemagne relied on the Holy Lance to build a great kingdom, a huge empire that was five or six times larger than our own land......"
