114 The so-called treatment
It seemed that the days had changed again to the time when they first went out into the sea in a boat to track the bandage man. Brother Zachary, Connie, Charles, and a group of sailors and crew sail the sea in a noisy steamship.
It's just that unlike last time, the Midsummer has been replaced by the Seagull, and the sailors and crew are not the same as before. At the same time, there was an extra "dog" on board.
Looking at the white island in a trance, Charles seemed to be able to recall what he had seen before he was touched unconscious.
At the time, everyone seemed to be wary and hostile to him. But for some reason, everything changed when I woke up.
The hostility disappeared, the treatment increased, and Zachary, the master of the church, smiled kindly again.
"Where are we going?" Leaning on the deck railing, he couldn't help but look at the ordinary-looking middle-aged monk beside him, the other party's face was a little pale, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the battle in the bandage man's lair.
"First to Port of Saine, then to the headquarters of the Turin Church, and finally you can go back to the city of Pita if you want." Zachary replied.
"What are you doing in Dulin?" Charles subconsciously frowned, "It's not over yet?" ”
Although there is no explanation, judging from the treatment, he should be cleared of suspicion, so what is going on now?
Or is there an end?
"No, that's a good thing."
Zachary replied softly, then thought for a moment, and said, "You can go to Connie and ask for a book called Blood of Inheritance in a moment, I think it will help you." ”
Help?
Charles wanted to ask, but Zachary changed the subject: "Regarding your sister's bloodline curse, if it goes well, the church will send someone to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about that." When we arrive in the capital, if you choose to stay there, then we will send someone to fetch your sister. ”
"What am I staying in the capital for?"
Charles was stunned. I was also quite puzzled by the words of the person at the moment.
When did the treatment become so good?
In the past, although this Zachary was also very polite to him, and even helped him when they first met, it didn't seem to be as positive as now, right?
Or is it this obvious rhetoric?
Yes, it's to woo, and in terms of words and deeds, this one has obviously unwittingly made a big turn in his attitude towards Shire.
"What did they find?"
The thought flashed through him, and Charles couldn't help but think of the vague examination from before.
Is it politeness and not rejection, or hostility, then it is clear that his inner self is not really exposed, and the reason for such politeness......
Thinking of an ability that had fallen silent due to a change in the world, Charles pondered.
"But what does that mean?"
In confusion, the person next to him obviously did not satisfy his curiosity, and even kept silent about it when asked by Charles.
"Seems important?"
Aware of this, Charles was wary.
No one knows better than him what that thing is, and in a sense, it is actually a proof of God.
And what will happen to a foreign "god" who falls into the hands of a local god or a local god's minions?
"It's really a wave of unevenness." Charles had a toothache about it.
At this moment, he was suddenly very eager to improve his strength. Or, if you can beat the person next to you, then do you leave or stay, or do you have the final say?
"At least you won't always be at the mercy of others." Looking at the rippling waters under the boat, Charles subconsciously thought of the pile of books in the world behind the door.
Those are not books, those are ladders, cruel, cold-blooded, horrific ladders that can break free from all kinds of shackles!
He is not willing to go on like this!
The treatment seems to have improved, but Charles inexplicably feels a sense of humiliation, but he has a false face, but he does not reveal the slightest bit of this emotion.
Instead, he changed the subject without thinking, "Is that one cursed?" ”
He said as he pointed not far away.
Under the sun, the white-robed young man had bright blond hair, three-dimensional facial features like carving, and a straight nose, looking quite handsome.
However, this person's actions at this moment directly destroyed his appearance and aura.
Squatting on all fours in the corner of the deck, he turned his head to look around, sniffing carefully with his straight nose close to the ground. He looks like a dog.
"That's right." Zachary replied, "The Shining Curse, a disgusting means of black rats to transfer human and animal spirits to and from each other. ”
"So he's now a human body, a dog's soul?"
"That's right."
"The human soul ...... that"
"On dogs." Zachary glanced at him with pity, and then said in a low voice: "Prince Anthony was cursed to become a dog, which was a very sensational thing back then, but unfortunately the murderer was never found, but I didn't expect it to be his own brother." ”
There is some news about this in the memory of the predecessor, so Charles is not unfamiliar with it, but if I remember correctly......
"It seems like years ago?"
"That's right, three years ago."
"This curse just goes on like this? Can't you crack it? ”
"A complete transfer of the spirit is not so easy to repair, and in order to break the curse, his spirit must be found. Otherwise, a dog's soul and original body alone would not be able to do anything at all. Zachary said calmly: "Although those black rats can't be used on the table, they are sometimes very troublesome. ”
"That's why you're chasing after that one?" Charles couldn't help but ask. He was always curious about what the bandage man had done, and the angel had arrived.
"No, the church rarely gets involved in internal disputes in various countries, and rescuing him is just a windfall."
"Not because of him, because of what?"
"It's a Necronomic Tomb"
"Necromancy...... Tombs? This seems to be a contradictory statement, and even Charles, the hidden necromancer, is a little incomprehensible.
But Zachary didn't mean to explain, just shook his head and said nothing.
So Charles didn't ask any more questions.
The bandage man's secrets seemed to be many, but they had all vanished with the defeat of the seizure. Charles occasionally dreams about him, but mostly in the form of trivial things.
This made him very helpless.
Compared with the memory of a person's entire life, some secrets are really only a drop in the ocean.
And to dream randomly is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"But it's not impossible......"
I thought of a book I had acquired on an isolated island. Charles was thoughtful.
The demon apostles are the number one enemy of the church, but in the eyes of the church, the necromancer group also belongs to the same hill, so the pursuit and killing are also not small.
A century ago, necromancers were even pushed to the point of "extinction", and in the face of the pressure of the church, their corpses for cultivating spells were very scarce, and they could not effectively practice against the enemy.
Therefore, a certain genius, or a certain strange person, put forward a hypothesis - since there is no way to do what you want in reality, what about in dreams?
Dreams can have a large number of corpses for them to practice spells, a large number of materials for them to study potions, and a large number of enemies for them to ......
The book was very thick, and Charles had a shelf of books to scan, so he only read the prologue, and he didn't know much about what it was, but if it was the same as he imagined, it seemed impossible to weave and explore dreams......
"More likely it's just daydreaming."
Keeping this to his heart for a moment, he then talked to the monk about something innocuous and innocuous again.
He also interviewed a few words about his current "treatment", but Zachary kept laughing and saying nothing, only saying that he would know when he got to the place.
This is about his own "life and death", Charles naturally can't ignore it, so after he leaves the deck, he runs directly to Connie's residence, and asks for the book called "Inherited Blood", and at the same time he also notices Connie's strange eyes.
Charles was puzzled by this, but when he returned to his bedroom and looked at it, he had a vague understanding of his next fate.
This is a book about the road!
It records the selection and detailed explanation of the path to promotion for each church!
Heavenly Race, Divine Profession, Righteous Path......
Flipping through the pages of the book about the power of the church, Charles pondered.
"The church wants me to step straight into the ring?"
