"Good afternoon, Mr. Archbishop. We're the representatives of the adventurers, and we're here to investigate some of the things about the disappearance, and I wonder if you can spare a little time. ”

Arriving at the Cathedral of Sunburst earlier than Corlotia was a combination of Imberka and Vanessa.

The duo who were tasked with investigating the disappearance, although they can't be as "knowledgeable" about the world as Kolotia, but they also have enough reasoning skills. Therefore, the key point of the problem will be found, which is the cathedral of Sunny City, which is the "only resurrection site in the Sunny City".

After the "memory rollback" mechanic was removed, players in this world were resurrected in the same way as in the original game, where they were resurrected in the "temple" or "graveyard" closest to the place of death for a period of time.

In this case, if there is such a thing as "disappearing after death", then the first place to investigate is naturally the only temple in Sunny City, the Cathedral of Sunny City.

The Bishop of the Cathedral of Sunny City, the old man dressed in the highest standard white gold-trimmed priest's robe, thought for a while with a heavy frown.

"We have also heard about the disappearance that Your Excellency said. If we can do some help to all of you as heroes, we should do our best to support it. The elderly bishop's expression slackened, and with a wrinkled face and a voice that was so calm that it was slightly devoid of emotion, he gave a formal but very reserved answer, even if the question in front of him was only a little girl of one meter and four meters tall.

"That's really thank you, ordinary people like us, there are still a lot of things that we don't understand, if I can ask a master like you, I will definitely be able to help a lot." After getting the bishop's answer, Imbaka showed an excited look, "Then let's ask a question, what do you think of the resurrection mechanism and principle of our adventurers?" ”

This kind of problem is not without an official explanation in the age of games, although it is somewhat vague, but it is still within the scope of understanding. In addition to this, Imberka and Vanessa corresponded with Kolotia, who was "an expert among the adventurers", and received a rather detailed explanation from Kolotia.

Because of the importance of the stakes, Imberka and Vanessa came here after a lot of preparation. Even so, though, they maintain the highest level of caution.

Imperca, who had always had a keen intuition, told her that this incident was not simple. Although it is not possible to directly identify who the prisoner is, it is certain that the prisoner is inside the cathedral.

"Intuition" is the most powerful tool that Imberka uses to "detect". It's not a metaphysical intuition, but a real, almost superpower-like intuition.

Flipping over a card can guess the pattern with a 90% chance of it, and the moment the spinning coin lifts into the air, you can tell which direction it landed in the air - although the principle is unknown, but soon after crossing into this world, Imberka acquired this ability, and this ability is getting stronger and stronger.

This is also the reason why in this world of all kinds of strange tricks and tricks that she doesn't know about, Imberka can still be hired as a "detective".

"The reason why the adventurer was able to be resurrected? It's not complicated, but it's not that easy to explain. But at the end of the day, this is only the realm of the gods that we mortals are not qualified to touch. What I am saying to you can only be the conclusion of us mortals after analyzing the phenomena we see from the perspective of mortals—it will never be entirely correct, but can only be used as a reference. That's fine, right? If you don't mind, come with me,......" said the Bishop, turning and leading the way in front, "Come and talk to me in my office." ”

In the setting of "Sword and Sorcery and Journey", the faith of the priests is the faith itself, a group of researchers. So compared to the "magic stick", they are actually more like "mages". This can be somewhat felt from the strict wording of the bishop of Sun City.

"For you, the conclusion should be more important than the process of proofing, so I will skip some complicated things and go straight to the most critical part."

"For those of us who study souls, there is no more powerful energy in the world than the soul itself. However, there is a kind of cycle in the world itself. Every one of our qiē is born on the earth, and our souls must return to the earth itself after death. After we die, the soul will slowly sink into the depths of the earth, just as rain will collect in the underground river, and the soul will be filtered in the sinking process and then return to the flow of the spiritual vein. Our memories, our knowledge, our abilities are all transformed into pure energy in the process, which is gathered and fed back to the world itself...... This process is usually irreversible. However, for those of you adventurers whose souls come from other worlds, this is not the case. ”

"Whether a soul can enter the process of cleansing depends on whether there is a 'special mark' on the soul." The bishop's voice became slightly muffled as he spoke, "This mark is left by the world itself when every soul is born, meaning that it is protected and blessed by the world. And this mark also determines whether a soul will be cleaned up and recovered by the world. However, for you adventurers, this is not the case...... This mark of yours belongs to the rest of the world. It is the external mechanisms that protect and bless you what you call the 'system'. ”

"So,

The 'world' will not receive your souls, and similar to those who have been resurrected by a strong will or resentment, or necromancy, etc., your souls will enter the spirit veins through some channel and then return to the earth from the spirit veins under the action of the 'system'. Just as there are fountains in nature, and those 'fountains of the soul' that naturally exist are the so-called 'temples' – if you want to manipulate this 'temple', you must have a very powerful power far beyond the reach of us mortals - and your 'system' has achieved unimaginable heights in this regard. ”

"This is the real one, and it can only belong to the realm of the gods. However...... There are also some people who will play with this place that should be taboo. I think you've already guessed who those people are, right......? ”

The old man's gaze sharpened.

"Necromancer ......"

Vanessa whispered the answer.

"That's right, if you can do it in the resurrection process...... Aside from the real gods, the most likely ones are necromancers. The Bishop gave his conclusion.
