Chapter 25: That's the Right Way
St. Peter's Basilica Complex, the prayer room in the private area is different from the one that is open to the public.
There were only a few rows of ordinary wooden benches, and nothing but a statue of an angel with his eyes closed and his head bowed in the prayer room, revealing a hint of holiness.
It can also be seen that St. Peter's Basilica is not a group that only knows how to accumulate wealth and enjoyment.
Silver and Vivile sat down in the front row.
At this time, Vivier said softly: "Next, Yin, you learn my movements, follow me to do and read." She took out two copies of the Book of Revelation, handed one to Silver, and began to recite softly: "Chapter 1, verse 1, when the first light comes out of nothingness............
Strangely enough, when the girl began to recite, the whole prayer room seemed to have an inexplicable aura of activity. And the angel statue also has a sense of agility.
And Shadow also learned to read together, and before Shadow could speak, Berial began his actions at this time.
The shadow shone slightly, and when the girl became more and more focused, the light behind the shadow became a reality, and the life-size Berial stood behind the shadow,
He glanced at the angel statue in the prayer room, and his eyes flashed as an invisible message passed through, and then the spirit of the angel statue slowly descended until it would be a 'dead thing'. And when these actions are over, Shadow can feel it through the contract, and the entire prayer room seems to be the dominant one in Belial.
Shadow didn't speak, just silently watched Berial's next move, not knowing what he was thinking.
In Berial's eyes, mortal prayer was like a source of power for the gods, and the power of faith from prayer was like a few green smoke in her eyes. He floated behind Viviel's back, lifting his finger a little bit across her back.
And Vivier's whole body was shocked, and her eyes appeared white at this time, and the whole person seemed to be in a trance; But the prayer continued, and Berial squinted slightly at the memory he was searching for, and then smiled slightly: "Found it." A holy streak appeared on his fingertips, and then entered the girl's body.
In Vivier's senses, she was doing her usual prayer room today, the only difference was that there seemed to be a period of time when people suddenly became confused. Many memories came flooding out, and there were a few tiny details that blurred a little and then became clear again.
But Vivier always felt a little different, but she couldn't tell... At the same time, she felt as if she was more religious, and seemed to love the church more and more... It's strange not to be an angel...
An imperceptible smile appeared on Berial's face.
At this time, observing the shadow of Berial and Vivier, whose face was becoming more and more reverent, he finally identified some of the remaining questions, and his contemplative closing contemplation seemed to think about something, and then he muttered: "Order, stop. Berial. A wordless force of contract made Berial unable to stop his movements, but only a little more fingertips, the girl's almost blazing gaze dissipated, closed her eyes, and sat as if in a coma.
His expression did not move, his eyes flashed, and he floated in front of Shadow, "Please forgive me for trespassing, master. I was afraid that if she would be able to detect what we were doing in the future when other angels or spirits of the same rank as me went to investigate, I decided to make her my follower. ”
Shadow didn't answer, but looked at him with an intriguing smile: "You did the sinking feeling when you awakened the priest's holy power, right?" (See Chapter 15 for details) It seems that the so-called "contract" of this broken book is not as binding as imagined..."
At this time, the respectful Berial's body shook slightly, and his humble and soft face became a little uncertain, but it was visible that it was a little cold, and he did not lower his head, but stared at the shadow.
But ignoring the change in Belial, he touched his chin instead: "Well, maybe I'm in the game now, or for other reasons, I can't check the details of the contract on my own." Only a rough "operating manual" can be obtained. He raised his head and asked with a flat expression, "Berial, you can explain." ”
"Because you only have met the requirements of your mental power, but your physical body has not yet made a breakthrough, you belong to a quasi-abnormal person, and you can fully view it after the physical body successfully breaks through." Berial omitted the honorifics, and at this point he seemed to be about to see the shadow into a flower.
The shadow showed a hint of what was really the case, and then said, "That sense of sinking was caused by you, right?" Shadow repeated.
He hesitated, and then he became completely indifferent: "Yes. He had prepared the "master" for the next rage, even hysteria.
But he unexpectedly discovers that Shadow has not obtained a magical book of sin like ordinary people, and after being an angel, he thinks he has the world and begins the peak of his life. But suddenly I found that these are all fake, the kind of madness and negativity.
"Oh." Shadow let out a flat sigh and then chuckled, "That's right." ”
"......" Berial was a little at a loss for what to say.
"Judging from the past three days, the power of the contract can have a commanding effect on you, but it has no final effect, for example, today, I just asked you to modify Vivier's memory, but you did something else, it seems that you want to make her your fanatic to absorb the power you need."
And the contract just doesn't allow you to hurt me, but it doesn't explicitly say that you can't "affect" me, so that day's sinking seems to me to be similar to Vivier's situation today, right? Berial Elmes, Lady of the Arrogant Angels. Shadow said to Berial with a slight troll, and with a slight disparagement, he did not address him, but lady.
But Berial did not get angry, but sighed: "As a master, you are unqualified, but as a mortal, you have succeeded in arousing a trace of admiration from me. He said a little arrogantly, "You are right, I can't hurt you directly, but I can try to influence you, and even if there is enough opportunity to make you my believer." ”
His words were self-explanatory, followed by a hint of playfulness: "This won't be the last, what will you do?" My master. By the way, you can force me by decree, let's say, make me suffer all the time, unless I please you... He even directly ordered me to commit suicide. However, each time the law is used, the power of the contract will be reduced, and as of now, the contract will collapse after the third time. And you, have already used it once. Berial tried to find reluctance or anger in Shadow's expression, but he was disappointed again.
"It's true that I don't feel qualified as a host. But this broken book is really unreliable. Shadow shrugged: "It's good to know the specific situation, anyway, I don't expect an angel, or an angel who was banned because of arrogance, to be convinced because of a contract." He said indifferently, and then his words changed: "Then is it true that the recovery of your strength will help me improve?" ”
He froze for a moment: That's it? No dots? Not angry? Are you human?
"Yes." He thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh, it seems that the power of contract has to give me a real answer to the question of the need for clarity, but do something privately, and not if I don't find out." Ying Shen smiled after feeling the contract reaction in his soul, "Thank you for your cooperation, ma'am." ”
“......”
Berial didn't know why, and felt a little tired in his heart......
