Chapter 178: Analysis

"It's been a long time since Ike has been seen, and so are everyone in the Support Division." In the dormitory, Liz said hello briefly.

"When I heard that Kevin was here, I wondered if you would come too." Ike replied. "But I didn't expect him to actually agree to let you follow him?"

"Of course, it's a little stronger." Liz replied quietly, "I always do something stupid when Kevin leaves, so I went to ask the chief." ”

"Is that really the case?" Ike smiled slightly wryly, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Kevin: "Obsidian, I probably thought it was very interesting, so I agreed to you to become his retinue knight." ”

"That's right." Liz nodded, "And not allowing Kevin to leave me on a solo mission." ”

"That guy is a casual guy." Ike rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now." After a short small talk, Lisi returned to her normal color, revealing a hint of seriousness between her eyebrows, "Now please tell me the information and detailed explanation of this blue flower." ”

The staring crowd was silent for a moment, and Lloyd told Liz what had happened, along with his own and Ike's guesses.

“。。。 I see, from the archbishop's standpoint, it is normal to insist on not speaking. After listening to Lloyd's account, Lis, who had gathered her thoughts for a while, spoke.

"Is it about the inside of the church?" Ike asked, squinting slightly.

"There is a part, but there is also a part about the flower." Liz pointed to the blue flower on the table and replied, "This blue flower that you have picked is probably one of the ones recorded in some holy text." However, it is not an official canon, but a so-called 'external canon'. ”

"The outer code is...

"That is, forbidden books that are not recognized." Waji replied.

"Well, even in the church, only special people have access to those books. Members of the 'Order' have access to the canon. Because there are often many dangerous ancient relics recorded in them. ”

"So, how exactly does the canon describe that kind of blue flower? Ellie asked.

"One of the apocryphal texts, the Rada, describes the blue flower as follows: "Lisi cleared her throat" and bloomed directly above the seven veins, a mysterious plant that symbolized both good luck and bad omen, and was called the 'Wisdom Grass'. ”

“!!!!!!”

"Isn't that the name !!?"

"The name of the plant in the Order's terminal seems to be the raw material for the manufacture of 'True Knowledge', right?" Ike's voice suddenly froze.

"It's a place like this to hear its name here..."

“。。。 The Order left behind many mysteries that even the Church had not fully understood, and Archbishop Elalda's stubbornness led to little investigation into the incident caused by Joassim Jonta. ”

"Please, please wait a minute." Noelle interrupted Lis's narration: "If that flower is really the raw material of truth, then what does it mean that it is now blooming everywhere? . . . ”

"Yes, yes, the sudden appearance of the phantom beast is also very concerning." Ellie's interface.

"A mysterious plant that blooms directly above the seven veins, and symbolizes both good and bad omens... Theo repeated what Liz had said, and suddenly his pupils dilated, and he looked at Ike fiercely, "Ike! ”

"Well, that's about it. Originally, I was curious about why she said that, but judging from the current information, she probably knew about it a long time ago. Ike replied with a gloomy face, "I thought she was talking about the surface structure of Crossbell, but I didn't expect her to say a deeper level, the seven veins underground... ”

"What the hell are you talking about..." Listening to the incomprehensible conversation between Ike and Theo, Lloyd asked.

With Ike's permission, Theo gave a brief account of what had happened in the Divination Hall.

"The soothsayer..."

"Is it a witch?!" Ellie exclaimed.

"But, but, witch or something, isn't it just a legend?" Noelle said in disbelief.

"No, the witch clan does exist, and it's still circulating." Lisi shook her head and replied, "Secondly, witches sometimes do not refer specifically to the circulation of a clan, ordinary people also have the qualifications of witches, and there are not a few nights when they become witches after being taught by other witches. Because of the restrictions of the church and the witch herself, the witch has been deliberately ignored by modern society since the Dark Ages. However, this force has been circulating for a long time, and there are currently two witch forces known to the church alone. But because of the jealousy.,It's always been just out of surveillance.,But witches don't easily interfere with the secular world.,Every member of them has incredible abilities.。。。 Ike, is that witch girlfriend of yours capable of divination? ”

"I don't know." Ike blurted out, "The techniques she learned are quite complicated, just like Lisy you said, she was not born a witch, but through cultivation, and she is involved in a wide range of fields, hypnosis, illusion, divination of the Oriental magic or something, she is proficient." I believe this information of hers should be true. ”

"But..." Liz glanced at Lloyd and them with some embarrassment, and finally said as if she had made up her mind, "To put it mildly, Crossbell City doesn't seem to be the city with the Seven Yao Veins. After saying this, Lisi spoke a lot faster, and continued to speak without pause, "Since ancient times, flare crystal resources have always been a resource that countries compete for, their origin is much earlier than the science of guidance, modern big cities, in fact, a large part of them were built on the dazzle veins in the past, because of the glory crystal prosperous. But Crosbell is an exception. I don't think I need to explain it to all of you. As the Apocrypha says, this flower usually blooms directly above the Seven Rays, which was not recorded in the previous days of Crossbell. ”

"But it does exist now, whether it's a phantom beast or this spiritual grass." Ellie eager.

"That's the problem now." Lisi replied in embarrassment: "A vein cannot be born out of thin air, and the formation of a vein requires hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation to form, and it is by no means formed in a hurry." ”

"It's not impossible." Ike muttered, "Lis, have you ever heard of artificial ore veins?" ”

"Artificial veins?" Lisi frowned, "Whether it is the church or other modern science, there is no way to artificially generate sparklestone, and the current sparkle is just a refining of sparkle." The idea of artificial veins that you said is also ... ”

"It's not as complicated as you think." Ike shook his head, "The place where the Spiritual Grass grows is directly above the Seven Yao Veins, that is. If you only need to simulate its growth environment, it will have the possibility of growing. ”

"But like I just said—"

"What if I said that it was more simple to put the collected Yaojing Ore underground." Ike interrupted Liz's reply, "As a storehouse, or underneath around Crossbell, there's a project to operate flares. ”

"This, this, too..." Lloyd was a little speechless in the face of Ike's astonishing speech.

"But if you think about it, it's a possibility." Vaji frowned and replied, "If that's the case, then the sudden appearance of the Psychic Grass can also be explained." But at this juncture ... ”

"Well, it looks like someone wants to do something while it's messing." Ike nodded.

“。。。 This was a bit more than we expected. The silent Lloyd spoke: "If you can, please allow me to pass on this news to my superiors?" ”

"I'm fine, but..." Ike glanced at Liz.

"I'm fine, but please don't mention my name if you can." Liz replied, "Just in case, I'll also inform the Knights to start investigating the matter, and if that's what Ike expected, it's part of the church's job." ”

"I see." Lloyd nodded, "We'll start investigating from here, and if we have any information, we might as well exchange ideas with each other." ”

"Okay." Lisi nodded happily, "Then, I wish everyone can find out the truth as soon as possible." ”
