Chapter 0296 - The Truth About Ancient Gods and Witches
Sending Evan back, Suge sat there for a while, just in time to meet Evan's parents after work.
Betty didn't say anything about the curse, but said that Suge helped out and solved the school's problems. This made the old man ecstatic, and entertained this "nephew" who was already in a high position in the most enthusiastic way.
After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted happily, which made Su Ge a little dazed.
I remember when he was a child, the two families were like now, in a warm living room, and the parents on both sides talked about the things of adults.
Suge and Evan were hiding and playing with toys together.
Time has blink of an eye, and things have become different.
At seven o'clock in the evening, with some memories and melancholy, Suge said goodbye to the Evan family and returned to the Church of the Holy Blood along the road.
It was already completely dark at seven o'clock in the north in October, and the dimly lit streets were illuminated by bright street lamps, and the lights in the houses on either side were full of tranquility and harmony.
Walking on the quiet road, Su Ge suddenly remembered himself a year ago, and ...... Ida.
"I don't know how she's doing now. "Suge has mixed feelings for Ada.
She did take advantage of herself, but after living together for two years, she did take care of herself seriously from the bottom of her heart.
Her kindness and generosity are not false, but they are ...... Too twisted.
"Saint...... A mysterious profession for great things. In terms of temperament alone, she is a saint who appears in front of people, and that kind of temperament makes people unable to produce any disrespect. ”
Dingdingding......
In contemplation, he heard a crisp bell in his ears, and when he heard the sound, he saw three night watchmen in large robes and large-brimmed hats looking at him secretly in the shadows of the street corner, with a heavy vigilance in their expressions.
"Am I so bad?" Suge sighed helplessly and waved at the three of them.
The portrait of the bishop of the Church of the Holy Blood is not circulated internally, and the new clergy here do not know Suge, the foreign bishop, but they can feel Suge's mysterious temperament and elegant posture.
The three night watchmen saw Suge waving to him, but they didn't come over and still looked at him coldly.
Su Ge didn't bother to explain, and walked all the way back to the Holy Blood Cathedral, and when they saw the doorman saluting Su Ge respectfully, the three of them were stunned.
After waiting for Suge to leave, the three night watchmen hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
As a result, the three of them were very embarrassed......
Back in the suite, Suge, who was taking a bath, suddenly felt something, and then fell asleep in the water.
In the Kingdom of God, the door of the temple slowly opened a gap, and Su Ge, who was dressed in a black robe, walked out calmly.
In front of the temple, Suge saw Adeline, who had not been seen for a long time, kneeling respectfully on the ground with Bernice, and was saluting.
Su Ge nodded slightly and motioned for the two of them to stand up.
Adeline looked up at Suge and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Pope's growth in the past six months is really huge!"
"People always have to grow. Su Ge smiled, turned his head to look at Bernice, who had completely rejuvenated her spirit, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is not me who has grown up." ”
Bernice replied with a serious expression, "This is all a gift from the Lord to me, giving me a chance to be born again." ”
After a brief greeting, Su Ge asked, "Is there anything wrong with taking the initiative to return to the Kingdom of God this time?"
For more than half a year, Suge's focus has been on the Guinness side, and the situation on Adeline's side has been passed and reported by the knights.
Suge hadn't met up with Adeline since the last Bain City incident.
After hearing this, Adeline nodded seriously and said, "Bernice has not been in a good state lately, and she always hears some indescribable whispers. ”
Su Ge's heart jumped when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Bernice and asked, "What is the specific situation, tell me about it." ”
Bernice first lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, leaned forward and saluted elegantly, and said, "In the past half month or so, I have occasionally heard some strange voices in my ears. I couldn't understand the voice, it seemed to pop into my ears from a long distance. Also, I often dream about a lot of twisted and indescribable monsters and scenes. ”
Su Ge was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it a misty ancient city scene?"
Bernice frowned and was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "No, that scene seems to be a world full of chaotic thoughts, where you can't think or remember. ”
Adeline asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, you already know about the situation of the witch recently, right?"
Su Ge nodded: "Well, I also dealt with an incident of a witch going on rampage yesterday. The witch didn't receive any stimulation and went on a rampage on her own. ”
Adeline was surprised to hear this, as she realized that Suge was on the verge of growing to her own height.
"I guess this matter should have something to do with those ancient demons in the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood. Suge said.
Adeline heard what Geralos had told her earlier, and asked, "What do you know from the church about the Blood Labyrinth and the Witch?"
Suge gave a brief account of what he had heard from Emilia.
Adeline nodded and said, "She's only halfway there." ”
"Is there anything else hidden?" Su Ge raised his eyebrows.
Adeline took a deep breath and said, "Remember what Geros told you about the witch he told you about?"
"Well, there's such a thing. Suge thought back to the letter Geros had given and nodded.
"He entrusted me with the task of conveying the truth to you. Adeline said with a serious expression.
Su Ge suddenly became interested: "Say!"
Adeline gathered her thoughts and continued as Suge knew.
"First of all, there is one thing you need to know. The ancient demons that Emilia spoke of are the ancient gods in the mouth of the church. The blood of the ancient gods inscribed on the coat of arms of the church was actually extracted from the bodies of the ancient gods of the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood, which is the birthplace of the Holy Blood and the source of the name of the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood. ”
Hearing this, Su Ge was shocked in his heart, but asked with a calm expression: "In other words, the core secret of the church, the source of blood healing, is actually the blood of that ancient god?"
Adeline nodded: "Yes, although the March Church worships the March Goddess, it is not the gift of the March Goddess that really makes them rich, but the corpses of the ancient gods in the dungeon labyrinth." After discovering the dungeon labyrinth, they controlled the immortal body in the labyrinth through some means, and possessed terrifying activity and transcendent power. Through years of experimentation, a huge amount of knowledge has been unearthed from that body, the most important of which is blood therapy, which is a by-product produced when people transfuse the blood of ancient gods. Potions, on the other hand, are special potions that appear on the basis of blood healing. According to what Geros told me through certain methods, all the witchers of the Church will be transferred to the Labyrinth of the Holy Blood for terrifying training and memory blockade. But Geros is special, he inadvertently awakens those memories in order to bring out the truth in them. ”
Su Ge didn't speak, bowing his head and groaning, quickly digesting the vast amount of knowledge and shocking truths in it.
Five minutes later, Suge gestured, "Go on." ”
Adeline took a deep breath and continued.
"Emilia is not wrong with the birth of witches. It was indeed the parasites of the ancient gods that caused the mutations of those women and gave them special abilities. No one knows exactly how it works. However, in years of research, the Holy Blood Church has discovered that the witch's sarcoma can resonate with the body of the Old God, and every time they send a witch back to the Holy Blood Labyrinth and integrate into the body of the Old God, the Old God will give back a lot of knowledge, which is what makes the Holy Blood Church rise rapidly. ”
"Wait, you're talking about blending in...... What does that mean?" asked Suge.
Adeline said with a solemn face, "Because the body of the god is dead, although it can be looked at directly, it has extremely strange powers. For many years, the Church of the Holy Blood had developed only a little bit of knowledge from the blood of the old gods, because that kind of high-level horror was beyond human comprehension. ”
"And to integrate, in fact, is to feed the ancient gods. Although the body is dead, it is still alive and can not only breathe, but even eat. After all, in the occult, the soul of a girl with a good heart and a pure heart is the supreme mysterious medium. This is also the reason why those parasites will choose the kind maiden to parasitize. ”
Hearing this, Su Ge's expression was still calm, but the dark eyes that shone brightly represented the fluctuations in his heart.
Adeline added, "As for Emilia, she's nice, she's a true devout person unlike those twisted church people. She probably didn't lie to you when she said that, maybe the church told her that. After all, she is not very old now, and the responsibilities of the central archbishop are mainly on the side of politics and domination, and they don't know much about their authority on the mysterious side. ”
Speaking of which, Adeline tentatively suggested, "You can even join her in our church if you can in the future." ”
Su Ge nodded slightly: "I have already considered this, and now I fully understand the attitude and nature of the church towards witches." ”
"There is one more important thing. Every few years, the Church holds a secret witch hunt in exchange for more knowledge and power. Geros says that the next witch hunt is still a year away, so if you're planning to shelter the witch, be prepared. ”
Su Ge nodded calmly: "I will find a way to do this, after hearing these news, I also have some formed ideas and ideas in my mind." ”
Finally, Adeline pleaded, "Your Majesty, Geros said that if my lord could descend on him and restore his spirits, he could join the Church of the Evening Bell and dedicate to my lord the most devout faith and everything for the rest of his life. ”
Su Ge was naturally happy after hearing this, nodded and said, "This is no problem, I have great respect for Master Geros and know who he is." ”
