Opal knelt in the center of the room and gently recited a prayer.

This was his last confession.

Then he slowly stood up and took a dagger from the inside pocket of his clothes.

At this moment, he heard Mo Shi take a deep breath.

Opal looked at Moshi and saw that his head, which had been lowered, was now raised, and he seemed to try to turn his arms. Immediately, he will find himself bound and his eyes obscured.

"Are you awake?" Opal asked softly as he walked over to Moshi.

Mo Shi heard his voice and stopped all movements.

There was a brief silence between them, but it was quickly interrupted.

"Listen, Opal," Mo Shi began, his tone calm, "stop your plans. ”

Opal shook his head, though Mo Shi couldn't see it.

"We've come this far, and there's no reason for me to stop. ”

Mo Shi paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone changed somewhat.

"I can forgive you for killing the first five," he said, "and I can pretend not to know, and I even acquiesce to you for doing so." But those two children of the Blue House - there is no point in killing them, I will not forgive and will not allow it. ”

“...... What?"

"Murder is a sin," said Moshi, "and it is not worthy of forgiveness unless given the right reasons." To you, they are your enemies, so you can kill. ”

Moshi's eyes were blindfolded behind strips of cloth.

So Opal couldn't see his expression clearly.

And he continued, grimly saying, "But for me, I need more reasons. The five sons of the Hakunoin family you killed before were the sons of the great nobles who had long been entrenched in the center, and each of them had a family that was not loved and valued by the king of Manka, and if you killed them, you could even please the king - for me, this is the 'right' reason to kill. So whatever other people think, I'll forgive you. ”

"You ......," Opal's astonishment pierced into Mosz's ears.

Mo Shi knew how shocking and absurd these words he said.

But this is the criterion that he pondered for months and finally forced himself to include in the "moral indicators".

"So, please stop. As long as you stop now, I will forgive you, and I will not tell anyone else what you have done. I will do everything in my power to ensure that you are innocent in the eyes of others. ”

"You're crazy. Opal said. He was no longer calm, his voice trembling.

Opal's footsteps rang out a few times in the room.

"You're crazy. He repeated, "Moshi, this is ridiculous—why do you have to do this? You may have been so ostracized here that you have the delusion that you need someone like me to be your friend, but this is not the case, and you should know better than I do." ”

"We're not talking about 'me,' we're talking about 'you'. Mo Shi gritted his teeth and said, "And you, will you believe what I say?"

Opal stepped back, shaking his head.

He clenched the dagger in his hand.

"No, Moshi. He said, "It's going to be over soon, it's going to be over soon." And you just have to go out and tell the others that you caught the murderer, and that's it—just when I repay your potions, your friendship, whether you accept it or not...... That's all I can do. ”

After saying this, he no longer looked at Mo Shi. He made up his mind.

Yes, it will be over soon...... He casts a sharp spell on the dagger, and he will slash off the head, gouge out the heart, and kill himself.

Soon.

However, just as he was about to turn around to face the two "sacrifices", suddenly, he heard Mo Shi chanting a strange incantation in a low voice.

Wind without a source blows from the ground.

The blue-blue magic array appeared on the ground with Mo Shi as the center.

"——The wind blows the stones, and the soil sleeps forever. ”

In an instant, the wind stopped, and everything froze.

Opal found himself unable to move.

His eyes can blink, his neck can turn, he can breathe, he can think. But at the same time, he felt that he could not move.

He tried to loosen his fingers, only to find that when he did release them, the dagger that had been held in his hand was still hanging in the air.

It did not fall.

-

Control the magic.

Level 5 Technique: Blowing the Wind and Stones, Fixing the Soil and Sleeping.

With the caster as the center, within three meters in diameter, all non-living objects are stationary and locked. Of course, things that the caster himself is close to, as well as things that move, such as air, are not included.

It is a powerful and sophisticated technique, and it takes a considerable amount of magic and a long chant to open it.

"How could I be so easily controlled by a potion I developed myself?" Mo Shi whispered. He couldn't see it, but he didn't have to see it, now this was his domain, a three-meter circle, unbreakable, "You said I hadn't done more experiments to verify the effect of the potion? No, opal, it's not like that, I didn't use sheep, I didn't use horses." But I did use people, and that person was me. ”

"What......"

With the help of Blue Bird's healing technique, Mo Shi repeatedly used himself as experimental material for experiments.

It also meant that as long as the blue bird was by his side, he would never fall asleep because of this botched anesthetic.

Mo Shi knew that the bluebird was in this room—Opal couldn't have let the staff that belonged to him be left in place at will, causing suspicion.

Moshi needed to know what Opal was going to do, and he hoped to finally be able to convince him.

So he waited quietly.

As he pretended to faint and motionless, he recited incantations in his mind and knitted the spells with his fingertips.

"Did I surprise you this time?" he laughed, but it sounded bitter.

Opal didn't seem to have recovered from the terrible effects of the spell.

Mo Shi could only hear the sound of his skin rubbing against his clothes as he tried to struggle. But the clothes were now wrapped around him like a piece of hard iron.

Mostone's magic power was enough for him to control everything within his range.

But he also does need to be quick.

"I want to tell you something. Mo Shi said.

This sentence served a little. Opal quieted down and didn't move.

So Mo Shi continued: "In the second chapter of the Holy Scriptures, it is told that the five doppelgangers of God came to the earth and rescued the people of the chaotic world, teaching them how to herd, how to farm, how to live, and how to build a nation. At the time of the 200th chapter, there is only one 'apostle' left in the world......"

In Christianity, apostles generally refer to the twelve disciples who were originally selected by Jesus Christ and given missionary missions, derived from the Greek word Apostolos, which originally meant "sent."

In the Snowwalker's Sacred Codex, the word "apostle" refers specifically to the earthly doppelganger of the Lord of the Empty Wheel.

"The last apostle, in the third millennium, left the crowd and went to the snowy mountains. Before leaving, he promised the world that he would come again, and that the light of God would once again cover the earth...... This is God's promise to the world. ”

"Yes. Opal recited in a low voice, "The doppelganger of God told the people, 'When I return, sin will be taken away and all things will be reborn.'" ”

Moshi opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything.

It made him feel like he was in a dream.

- If he had not been in a dream, how could he have lied so much, how could he dare to say this?

"I have forgotten too much, but I know very well that I am coming from the bosom of the Lord. I will go through the tribulation and bring his glory back to the earth. ”
