Chapter 177: Taboo
Running non-stop to another sighting site of the phantom beast, the Ursla Road, found the phantom beast in a hidden hole on the narrow coastline. Turtle-like in appearance, the phantom beast that was supposed to be proficient in fighting between the oceans seemed to suffer the same troubles as the previous phantom beast, because it could not leave the fast place where it was, and under another indiscriminate bombardment of the people, it ended up with the same hatred as its companions. And Ike, who ended the battle, searched around, and sure enough, he found a small blue flower that was exactly the same as that on his hand.
"Sure enough, there's one here, so Ike's guess is correct."
After careful observation for a while, the flower was plucked again, and just like the last time, under a burst of dazzling blue light, the space emitted a violent fluctuation, and the originally distorted force field returned to its original state.
"It's unbelievable that a small flower has so much power... Ellie couldn't help but blurt out.
"What kind of flower is this?" Noelle asked.
āććć I seem to remember. Waji, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "In my impression, it seems that I have seen a legend about a strange orchid in the holy scriptures of the church. ā
"Huh?!"
"Is this real?!"
In the face of the surprised crowd, Waji also replied with some uncertainty: "Well, after all, I saw it a long time ago, and I just glanced at it casually... What about Ellie? Do you remember. ā
"IāI can't have read all the holy scriptures." Ellie replied in a bit of a panic, and after stabilizing her mood a little, she frowned, "However, it seems that it has indeed been mentioned that the legend of the blue flower with strange powers... ā
"Then go and ask, there are professionals in Crossbell Church right now." Ike glanced at Vaji, "If it's the 'Holy Scripture', it shouldn't be wrong, right?" ā
"I said I only saw it by chance." Waji looked at Ike's aggressive eyes and replied helplessly.
"Yes, Ike, there are so many holy scriptures in the church that even the Bishop is not sure that he will be able to read every holy scripture." Ellie also spoke out to persuade her.
āććććććā As if sensing a discrepancy between Ike and Ellie's words, Lloyd frowned, but didn't say anything after all. When I rode the guide car to the Qiyao Church, the sun was still westerly, and the golden sunlight was shining around the church, giving the originally peaceful church a touch of holiness.
"What should I do, Sister Mabur is in class, are you going to find Sister Lise?" After coming to the church and quietly watching Mabur in class through the crack in the door, Lloyd said with some embarrassment.
"Lis's words, I didn't see it just now." Waji replied.
"Anything, as long as you don't go to the Archbishop of Elalda." Ike added.
"I feel the same way." Noelle said with palpitations.
"Why don't you look for me?"
They all said that they were afraid of something, just as Ike's voice fell, behind everyone, a majestic voice came from not far away, the white-bearded Archbishop Elalda walked away without hurry, wearing the archbishop's robe, his expression revealed full of majesty and justice, if he didn't know that this old man was an archbishop, maybe the judge was the profession that was most in line with this face full of justice. Although within the Church of the Seven Dawns, the bishop is also known for not tolerating evil.
"You're police officers Crossbell." After seeing Lloyd, Archbishop Elalda thought for a while and said, then turned his gaze to Ike who quietly moved behind Lloyd and them, anger surged up instantly, white flower's beard and eyebrows fluttered, and he looked at Ike with an unkind expression, "Why are you here too?!" ā
"It's been a long time since Ilarda, Archbishop Elalda." Ike, who couldn't dodge, walked out with a sneer, "First of all, I'm here today as a helper, and Cross Bell has not been peaceful recently, so I've been invited to come over to increase my combat strength." ā
"Hmph, you guys haven't done anything good." Archbishop Alalda replied angrily. After thinking for a while, he didn't seem to bother to talk to Ike, so he simply ignored Ike's existence and turned his majestic gaze to Lloyd, "Back to the original topic, what are you looking for Sister Mabur for?" ā
"Well, we went to her to learn about a plant." Lloyd hurriedly replied, "I heard that this plant once appeared in the holy scriptures, so I took the liberty to come and visit." ā
"Plants written in sacred texts?" Archbishop Alalda looked at Ike suspiciously, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Vaji, and after a moment he moved away, "Sister Mabur is in class now, if it's about plants, come with me to my room, I still know a little about plants, especially those recorded in the Holy Scriptures." With a hint of distraction in his tone, he turned and walked to his office without looking at Lloyd.
The wry-smiling crowd looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, it was not right to disobey the archbishop, and as he said, there was someone in the church who could match the old man in herbology.
Archbishop Elalda, a obedient follower, came to his office, and when he was seated, Lloyd took out the small blue flower wrapped in it from his bosom and carefully placed it on Archbishop Elalda's desk.
Archbishop Elalda, who was still a little careless, when Lloyd handed out the blue flower, his shrewd eyes burst into a terrifying light, and he looked at everyone sternly with a thick shock, "Where did you get this flower from?!" ā
After briefly recounting what had happened, the originally shocked Archbishop Elalda fell into deep thought: "... The breath of space-time illusion is already an incredible magical beast... ā
"I'm sure you have some clues." Noelle asked eagerly.
āććć No, unfortunately, I have no clue at all. After a brief silence, Archbishop Alalda replied.
"What?!"
"It's obviously impossible, isn't it?!"
"No matter what, your reaction just now is obviously thinking of something...
"I said no, no, no." Archbishop Elalda's tone was unmistakable, "I invited you here, but now please go back." I still have important things to do. ā
"How, how... Lloyd looked visibly disappointed.
"By the way, there's also something about Sister Mabur. Although she was very knowledgeable, it was impossible for her to have heard of this flower. Rather, if she had heard of it, I am afraid that the problem would be more serious. ā
āććć By saying this, you are obviously admitting that you know something. Faced with the words of naked threat, Waji replied.
"No matter what you say, my answer will not change, even if Commander Sonia of the garrison visits in person, the result will be the same."
Some violently kicked Lloyd and his party out of the office. The crowd who looked at each other was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"It's just inexplicable, isn't it?!" Randy said with some annoyance.
"However, he seems to be very calm." Tio was a little puzzled and said, "It feels like it's just... It is the right thing to do to hide it from us ... He also warned us not to trouble Sister Mabur ... ā
āććć I'm afraid there is some kind of taboo. Lloyd sighed. And even Mabur Sensei can't touch the taboo... ā
"But it's more interesting to say that." Waji answered, "Why don't you read all the holy scriptures?" ā
"Don't say the impossible." Ellie sighed, "There are so many holy texts that even I have only read a small part of them... ā
"Moreover, in the ordinary holy scriptures, I am afraid there is no detailed record."
A girl's voice snapped into the conversation between Lloyd, and the red-haired nun stood at the end of the hallway, looking serious.
"Miss Lis?!"
