Chapter 14: Gabriel's Will

Xu Yuan's words were sonorous and powerful, and when the old king, who was in his early fifties, heard that it was the remnants of the previous king, he was immediately alert, asked Xu Yuan to get up and sit down, and continued to speak.

"The court painters Blue and Stephen came to me yesterday evening, saying that they had threatened my family living in the city and county, and that as a minister of the palace, I would poison you as the minister of the king's life, so that I could keep my family safe, and I was loyal and swore to die, so they attacked me and left me there, I thought I was going to die like this, but I feared for your safety! My Lord had mercy, and in a trance I saw Gabriel, who brought me back from the dead, just to convey to you that the prosperous world you have created should not be in the hands of these two thieves! It was Gabriel who told me that the secret room I was in was the same one used by the previous king, and if it were not for the remnants of the previous king, how could they know about the existence of this secret room and leave me there, wanting me to be your pillow ghost! Moreover, I am afraid that the previous minister of the palace, and many other people who lived in the palace but died and disappeared inexplicably, I am afraid that they are also ......"

The inexplicable death and disappearance of the people naturally refer to the original indigenous people who were killed by the werewolves, and after they are killed, they will not lose all proof of existence like the player, but will be remembered and remembered by the people around them, and then have a tomb.

Xu Yuan knew that the old king was originally a believer, so he brought out the angel Gabriel in the Old Testament and described the story of the incident in a divine way.

"Go, go and find out, find out the origin of that secret room in my room as quickly as possible. Also, put Blue and Stephen in jail for me, and let me go after a thorough investigation. ”

"My beloved king!" Xu Yuan instantly knelt down on one knee for the old king again, and was put in prison, at the mercy of his fate? No way. Before tonight, they must die, or they will become werewolves and run out again, and they will still die!

"According to the will of the merciful Gabriel, I need to forgive and baptize them immediately, otherwise my soul will be taken away by the devil tonight because of the invasion, and I will not be able to enter heaven, Gabriel has given me a limited time, and I ask the king to do it!" Xu Yuan said with tears in his eyes, the blood on his forehead was still flowing out intermittently, the white towel was already stained red with blood, and it looked more or less terrifying, but Xu Yuan was able to squeeze out tears, mostly because of the pain of the wound on his forehead.

"Good. Then take the two remnants into the cathedral now, inform the bishop, and immediately travel to the ceremony. Finally, the dilemma of the old king was moved by Xu Yuan's performance, he was actually more concerned about what kind of motives and purposes the two remnants had stayed by his side for so many years, and how they harvested other people's lives like demons and hid everyone's eyes, and in fact, he couldn't just listen to Vic's words and make up his mind, but Vic had no reason to fall into the secret room like this and then make up such a big lie to deceive himself...... There are many suspicions, but they can be tortured slowly, but Gabriel's will needs to be carried out as soon as possible, the old king thought.

Xu Yuan didn't care about the old king's embarrassment, all he cared about was the opportunity to meet the two werewolves, as long as they met......

Xu Yuan felt the cold object hidden in his waist, and in a hurry, he held the fruit knife that he wanted to execute the other party on the spot after finding the head maid, and kept it properly hidden on his body, so that he could finally have a chance to succeed, after all, werewolves have no chance to transform during the day.

Because the king did not want to attract too much attention to this matter that had not yet been ascertained, everything was deliberately arranged by the king in a low-key manner.

The cathedral, located to the west of the castle, was originally part of the castle building, but after the current king conquered the city, it was transformed into a cathedral for cultural export.

After Xu Yuan's careful observation, standing under the Gothic church and looking up, the reliefs on the walls are beautiful, the light vertical lines run through the building itself, whether it is the wall and the tower, the more detailed the decoration, the more exquisite, and there are sharp small spires on the top, piercing the sky, so that the whole church is full of upward momentum.

Xu Yuan has never had the opportunity to go abroad to see these truly authentic church buildings in his original world, and this style of modeling characterized by tall, straight, pointed and strong upward momentum is the embodiment of the church's religious idea of rejecting the earth, and it is also the spiritual reflection of the old king who built it and hoped that his city would show its strong and vigorous vitality.

Xu Yuan remembers that in his original world, the Romanesque church showed the authority of the church with its strong, stocky, and unshakable shape, and the form had the meaning of retro inheritance tradition, while this Gothic church embodied the sacred spirit of the church with the rough and unrestrained, dexterous, and rising power of the barbarians. Its straight lines, the abrupt passage of space, the colorful light through the stained glass windows and the various light and delicate carved decorations comprehensively create an "unearthly" realm, giving people a sense of mystery.

Xu Yuan now looked up at the door of the church, his gaze shifted with the towering spire of the tower, as if he could touch God ascending to heaven, for a while, somehow, Xu Yuan, who was originally a materialist, also felt that his heart seemed to be washed by a sense of sacredness, and his heart became calm.

Xu Yuan's eyes became different when he looked at the old king again, and he felt a lot for a while, such a building could draw out the impulse of his own thoughts, as if he wanted to rush out of the castle that was more like a military fortress, to follow the signs of the wind of freedom, to hold on to the ray of sunlight that penetrated through the dark Middle Ages.

The Gothic-style building was chosen to establish the cathedral, which is the sentiment that the old king wanted to convey.

These scenes all touched Xu Yuan's heart and brought him indescribable courage.

Yes, break through the shackles of darkness, break through this game that imprisons your soul, and let yourself end it with your own hands, with this indescribable courage.

When you enter the church, you will hear a sacred chorus, like an angel dropping down the holy light and spreading the sound of heaven to the world.

The king and the bishop stood in the center, and at their feet were two figures controlled by the guards, their hands tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground, looking up at the statue of Jesus standing on the high ground in front of them.

They had their backs to Xu Yuan, and one of them, his lofty politeness was rolling down at his feet, the sunlight refracting colorful light through the stained-glass window full of carvings, shining on his face, where Xu Yuan could not see, tears sliding silently.

He stared blankly at the statue of Jesus, motionless, and let Xu Yuan walk towards him.

"I had an eight-year-old daughter who died prematurely and left me. I really, really miss her...... But a man of great sin like me, even if he died, he would not be entitled to ascend to heaven and be reunited with her......" The choked murmur reached the ears of a few people nearby, but it was impossible to know to whom it was spoken.

The magnificent blood flowers bloomed at Xu Yuan's fingertips, accompanied by a little starlight, and the man happily closed his eyes and calmly greeted his own ending.

"Wherever you are, she'll be watching you from heaven."

Before the guards could react to stop him, Xu Yuan immediately raised the fruit knife and once again slashed the carotid artery of another man, watching Stephen's eyes full of fear dissipate along with the familiar light.

The sound of the chorus continued, the divine sounds echoed in the center of the church, and the believers seemed to be really out of the way, undisturbed by everything in the world, and religiously pursuing their faith.

Xu Yuan sometimes thinks, what is his belief?

Unable to see the surprised and frightened faces behind him, Xu Yuan could only see the old king with his brows locked in front of him, and under those sword eyebrows, there were a pair of wise and full of eyes, he stared at himself with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through the soul under his skin.

I'm afraid I guessed my mind from the beginning, after all, I am a king......

Reflected in the eyes of the old king, it was Xu Yuan's body that gradually turned into a little starlight and dissipated, this young man, raised his eyes to look at the statue of Jesus, his eyes were so confused, but he was full of determination, just like his young self.

Xu Yuan looked at the old king and smiled happily, as if he was relieved of everything and embraced heaven.

"All things are Gabriel's will."

The chorus ended perfectly, and in the middle of the empty church, fruit knives fell to the ground.
