Chapter 520: The Crimping Line Fails Again
The last five people were divided into three groups, each going to a different location to inquire about the news, and agreed to reunite here in an hour.
Incidentally, the result of the grouping was a group of Theo and Alice, and Juno. Daisy and Alyssa are in a group, and Jon is in a group.
"How's it going?"
Soon an hour passed.
After the few of them met, they began to exchange information about what they had obtained.
Alyssa maintained her usual dominance and asked first.
"It's weird." To their surprise, the first person to answer was Theo, who had been silent all along.
"Theo, do you know what's going on?"
Alyssa glanced at Alice, who was in a group with Theo, but found that Alice, who was supposed to know what Theo was supposed to know, had the same curiosity on her face as they did.
"The tiramisu here is hard to eat."
The little guy said with a serious face.
“……”
Alyssa staggered, her face full of black lines, and Juno pricked up her ears next to her to listen carefully. Daisy and Jon had similar expressions.
"And Mont Blanc, chocolate mousse, fried ice...... It's hard to eat. Not seemingly aware of Alyssa's gaffe, Theo continued earnestly.
"Alice, have you been eating all this time?" Alyssa sighed and asked Alice, who was smiling awkwardly.
"Ahaha, because Miss Alyssa said you could solve the lunch problem by the way......"
The maid girl replied with a dry smile, "And the look on Miss Tio's face when she wants to eat...... I don't know why. I can't refuse ...... at all."
"Well, that's true."
Alyssa agrees.
Even Alyssa, who has been trained for a long time in the past six months, could not refuse the other party's request when Theo's bright yellow eyes looked at her with kitten-like eyes.
"Miss Theo, you really have magical eyes."
"Yes, yes, especially the way I look teary-eyed at times, it's a foul."
So two young girls who have acted as Tio's caretakers one after the other resonate in strange places.
This makes Juno. Daisy and Jon both had subtle expressions.
"I don't want to disturb your communication, but can I tell me about the news I've got?"
Will 'Are these unscored, big ladies really okay?' The uneasy thought came back to his heart, and Jon interrupted the resonance between the two of them.
"Oh, no problem. Go ahead. Alyssa hurriedly put away the somewhat slackness on her face. Shrewd and competent: "Let me compare it with the information we've gathered." ”
As she spoke, she pulled out a small notebook from her robe.
"First of all, I didn't get the name of the Pope...... The inhabitants of the area seem to find it disrespectful to call the Pope by his name. Jon began by saying, "But then I went to ask some of the children who didn't care much about these taboos, and found that they didn't know the name of the Pope. ”
After a pause, he continued, "So I doubt it. I'm afraid that the so-called Pope did not publish his name. ”
"Is this to prevent cursed magic?"
Alyssa frowned and said suspiciously, "But even if you don't release your real name." It's okay to use some pseudonyms. Why do you want to hide it? ”
"It's just my guess, but maybe it's because his soul equipment has some restrictions on this." Jon replied in response to Alyssa's words.
"Really? Does the Soul Apparatus still have restrictions on the user? "Juno. Daisy immediately asked.
"That's right," Jon nodded. Affirmed: "Because I once came into contact with a soul device that was also limited to the user. ”
"It may not be too relevant, but can I ask what the limitations of that soul device are for the user?"
Daisy immediately approached Jon, despite the fact that the distance between herself and the other party was a little too close, and even the braids had already hung down on the other party's body, and continued to ask.
......" hesitated for a moment before Jon replied, "There are two options for using its abilities. One is to never speak, and lose the ability to distinguish colors and tastes, and the other is to never like others. ”
"Okay, so harsh."
Juno. Daisy seemed to be taken aback, and put her hand on her chest, "I don't think I'll ever want that kind of soul device in my life." ”
"While I don't mean to dictate Juno's freedom, I think as a student of Adric, the necessary reserve is necessary."
Alyssa reminded with some headaches.
"Wow, sorry!" Juno bounced past Jon and kept her distance from him.
"We've got about the same amount of information as you."
Alyssa then continued: "The Pope's gender is unknown, some say male and some say female, but they are all about the same in appearance, with a neutral face, a slender figure, long black hair, and a large pure white cloak tattooed with the Holy Emblem, and a Mass scarf over the cloak. ”
"In addition, although rumors are not enough to serve as a reference, some people have said that there have been 'angels' around His Majesty the Pope. And around this pope, there have also been so-called 'miracles', and it is precisely that series of miracles that will make him the object of fanatical worship of the people of this city. ”
"I always feel that you don't seem to have a good impression of this pope?" Jon was keenly aware of the subtlety of Alyssa's tone.
"Yes." After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, Alyssa said, "Because I have found out that those so-called miracles can actually be faked by magic or magic." ”
Anyway, for those of us who have never seen a magician, magic is like a miracle.
Jon complained inwardly.
However, whether the miracle is real or not, it does not prove the character of the other person. Doesn't religion in general falsify so-called miracles to attract believers to join? ”
Juno. Daisy is very open to this.
Unlike most magic academies that like to hide information, Edric's education policy determines that these children can be lifted into the dark side of the world at an early age, so they are a little more receptive and mature than their peers.
"But this kind of trick on people's hearts makes people completely unable to have a little good feeling." Alyssa shook her head, her face serious: "In addition, after my investigation, all the so-called 'miracles' are not for the benefit of people, but for making them feel that 'they can survive because of the blessing of the church'. ”
"Is it like creating a calamity first, then resolving it, and then showing the face of a good person and saying, 'It is the calamity caused by your original sin, and only by believing in us can you be cleared of your original sin and saved from this suffering?'"
Alice also showed a dissatisfied expression at this: "In this case, then we will definitely go to the Pope's lecture after that!" ”
"Although impulsiveness is not good...... However, in the absence of information from other places, this option can only be considered. Alyssa muttered, "And I've always thought this church is a bit strange, if I can take this opportunity to figure it out......" (To be continued......
