Chapter 90
"Don't worry, you go back with Aisia first, I still have some things to do here, you don't have to worry about me." Harry said to the crystal ball in his hand.
After explaining, Harry ended his communication with Kalia, retrieved the crystal ball, and lay on the marble handrail of the third floor of the main hall façade, his black hair swaying in the wind under the spectacular dusk, his whole body seemed to be dyed with a halo of orange, warm and cozy, wanting to yawn comfortably and sleep.
From this position you can clearly see the long and amazing steps leading to the interior and the "Faith Road" leading to the steps, the raised endless hills in this endless range, the dense trees completely cover these hills, the clear water flows into a thin line, but you can still clearly see the green hills sandwiched by many rivers flowing to the sea, and on the other side, there is the sea dyed orange, the confluence of the rivers, the end of the continent, the round and egg yolk like the sun descending on the horizon of the ocean, With the fresh air blowing through, this is really a good place to take a break from the busy.
Miral sat boldly on the fence, with his legs out, and yawning boredly, and if he fell from here, he would not be a joke, and he would probably be the first to fall to his death in front of the main hall.
The purpose was clear, and Harry withdrew his gaze from Miral and looked at the half sun on the horizon of the ocean again.
Harry's words to Dolores do not only contain a literal meaning, but also contain a personal purpose, that is, the whereabouts of the dark forces, although six years have passed, but he has not forgotten the matter of Teacher Isabet, but is still preparing and working hard for this matter, black magic must have colluded with those demons of the dark forces, that is to say, to find the place where the demon is hidden, it is also possible to find the old witch who can use black magic, the situation on the master's side is still in a state of tracking, Although there is a general area for chasing shops, the scope of the search is still too large, and the progress of the search without being detected is very slow, and there is a risk of failure.
Speaking of why the master can know the approximate location of the old witch, the credit naturally belongs to Dolores, she is a saint with the title of "prophet", the ability given by the goddess of light, as long as there is an evil breath on the continent, she can carry out a rough divination, guess the approximate area of the evil breath, part of the duties of the Holy See, mainly to curb the expansion of evil forces and purify evil, the master is relying on the holy woman's divination to track down the evil breath, At that time, her encounter with Harry was through divination.
Dolores's 'light divination' is a divination magic that can speculate on the existence of dark forces, but relatively, there are also certain disadvantages, that is, the scope of speculation, can not completely cover the whole continent, otherwise the dark forces will definitely have nowhere to hide, just the size of a duke's territory, the area of the continent of Iscent is very large, and the speculation range of this territory is basically dispensable, so in order to ensure accuracy, the Holy Maiden will screen out the places with a high accuracy rate according to the information provided by the Holy See from various places for divination.
There are also restrictions, the Holy Maiden is not able to use this power of divination without restrictions, and can only use it once a month, so the Holy See branch that specializes in this matter and some special forces from other countries will participate in it, in order to prevent the darkness from sweeping the continent again, they run around the continent to fight against the darkness.
Today, Harry just wanted to ask Doloris her, hoping that she could borrow a favor from herself, and she could help herself guess the exact location of the old witch, although the letter sent back by the master explained some basic information, but there was a sense of disdistance from the next time she found the whereabouts of the old witch, and Doloris's help was very necessary.
Because Harry knew that the premise of Doloris's divination was to speculate on divination at the location provided by the Holy See, but the continent was vast, and some places were destined to be ranked behind the indefinite, and when they arrived, it might be decades later, after all, only the Holy Maiden alone had this special ability, and it could not be forced, and the Munster Empire also paid some price to get the specific divination results of the Holy Maiden.
So this time Harry wanted to get rid of Doloris to do a favor, and the Pope would definitely know about it, but Harry had already decided, hoping to occupy a place for divination qualifications, and he would explain to the Pope in the future, there are not many opportunities to meet Dolores, if you don't catch it well, I don't know when the next time I see it.
After Harry's baptism in the holy pool, the time was almost close to night, the sunset at dusk, the punctual ringing of the clock tower told everyone that the sun was about to set, and they were waiting for the nun to help Doloris change her clothes, although there was no need to change clothes, her body was cleaner than anyone else's, but she still had the habit of being human.
Harry did the same, he changed into a dress specially prepared for himself by the Holy See, high-end clothes engraved with magic protection, pure white robes, beautiful gold patterns appeared on the sleeves and collars respectively, the shape of the clothes also looked like it was made by the master, beautiful and comfortable, there was originally a beautiful white gold hat , but Harry felt that it was too grand, so he didn't wear it, and it wasn't to participate in any feast that needed to be dressed neatly, just in the Holy See.
In other words, the time for women to change their clothes has not changed at all, and the trouble is to death, obviously I told these nun sisters who uphold stubborn etiquette that this kind of time is just a simple thing to wear, and it doesn't need to be too cumbersome, but they still go their own way, maintaining an expression of sworn to defend the beautiful image of the Holy Maiden, everyone still hasn't changed, Harry faced the breeze, bored thinking.
Is it coming? Sensing the sound of footsteps behind him, Harry straightened up, turned his back to the fence, looked at the people who came by, sighed slightly and sighed helplessly, and Miral turned his head as well.
The Holy Maiden of Doloris, she is still wearing the original special white holy clothes, a few years ago to now, there is still no change, I have to admit that no matter how many times she wears this dress, she is still so beautiful.
"Mother Hanni, Sister Helen, can't you listen to me once?" Harry said again reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Holy Son, this is impossible, and we don't have this kind of clothing that lowers the appearance of the Holy Maiden, so you will die of this heart." Miss Nun, who is known as Hanny, rightly refuses Harry's request, and it seems that they will not budge on this matter.
"Please don't mention this again, it's annoying, Holy Son." Sister Helen continued.
"........." Harry I knew it was like this again, but it was bitter Dolores, for so many years, I have been wearing this dress, although this dress is very practical, and the design is good-looking, but after wearing it for a long time, I must be a little bored, women like beautiful clothes, Harry thought sadly for Dolores, it looks like the next time I come, I will buy a few clothes for her, etc., I am really, why didn't I expect it, these stubborn nuns said that there are no ordinary clothes, Nine times out of ten, it's true, but I can buy it for her, there are so many things during this time that I forgot to think about it.
"Alright, now that you're ready, let's go." Harry was no longer discussing this with the two nuns, and decided silently in his heart that he would take some time to come here tomorrow, and buy her some casual clothes by the way, Harry passed by them, walked the way they had come, and returned the way he came.
The Holy Maiden of Dolores with the two nuns, Helen and Hanny, and Harry with Miral, are heading to another area, at the back of the main hall, known as the altar, which is the designated area for Dolores to perform the 'light divination' magic.
Since Harry was on the third floor of the main hall, and to get to the back of the main hall, they had to go down the stairs to the back door of the first floor to reach the altar, so they were currently walking up the stairs between the first and second floors.
The sun was about to set, which meant that night was coming, and the light inside became a little dim, like a light bulb, and the round glass sphere embedded in the wall was lit up in advance, and the pure white light polished the dim staircase a lot, and the worshippers bowed their heads to Harry and Doloris in respect.
"Dolores, is there anything interesting happening in the process of purifying the dark forces?" Harry had a lot of conversations with Dolores along the way, and though most of them were inconsequential things, it was better than being silent all the time, and in another sense, Harry was also providing experience for her to be able to communicate with people normally.
"Interesting thing?" Doloris beside her said expressionlessly.
"Yes, it's something that impresses you, I actually want to hear your adventure story too, life in the imperial capital is boring, and Doloris has things I can't do." Harry said with a smile.
"Corpses, I saw a lot of corpses, people's expressions were painful, the dark forces killed everyone, and I killed them too." Doloris said emotionlessly.
"Sorry for reminding you of something sad." Harry realized that the question she was asking was still too broad, and it made her think of the other side of the question, which literally meant the same thing, but it was really impressive, and on the other hand, Harry put away his smile and said apologetically.
"Why apologize, Harry is not wrong." Dolores said, in an emotionless tone.
"How to say it, things like this kind of life or death are sad things, although you don't understand it now, but you will understand it later, this kind of feeling will be very painful." Harry smiled wryly and said, "It's a real problem."
"For example, to use a very rude explanation, if Sister Helen and Sister Hank were killed by the dark forces, you would have a very difficult emotion to accept, that feeling of heartache." Harry didn't feel clear enough and said again.
"I don't understand, I haven't felt these things." Doloris turned her head and looked at the two nuns behind her, placing her hand on her heart, feeling her heart beat.
"Don't worry, you will understand these questions later, now you are just very confused, and you can't figure out what the feelings of sadness and happiness are, but I believe that after a long time, you will definitely understand." Harry smiled reassuringly.
"Well, I don't understand these things, I believe Harry." Doloris said this like an obedient child.
"Don't worry, I believe in you too." Harry said.
Doloris looked relieved, although her expression was still as cold as ever, but her eyes would not deceive anyone, and her beautiful pupils flashed with a look of reassurance.
The main hall is divided into four floors, the height of each floor is different, the function and use are completely different, take the first floor as an example, the height is more than 50 meters, the ceiling is out of reach, as a welcoming area, the style of the building generally tends to be beautiful and comfortable, and the noble luxuries from all over the mainland can be seen here.
So when Harry and the others walked down the stairs, it was a tiring thing, although it was not as high as the first floor, but the distance between the levels was still not to be underestimated, and when they walked down, they were not very tired, but it was not so simple to walk up, and the physical strength consumed was not ordinary.
The stairwell was full of devotees, some nuns, some priests, and all sorts of clergy walked through it, but fortunately, the width of the staircase was designed to be very wide, so there was no need to worry about a group of people crowded together, but when Harry and Doloris came down, those believers who came up would respectfully lean over the handrail to make way for Harry, and they were very respectful.
The person who designed the staircase must have thought of such a way to go up the stairs is very tired, and designed another form of staircase, that is, every other section of the staircase to build a flat ground, so that people can take a little rest, and at the same time you can see the grand space inside the main hall, and design the downward stairs in the next section, and so on, so that the stone staircase looks less tortuous, and the wooden guardrail to prevent people from falling down still holds the architectural beauty, and the stairs built between the floors are like a very large spiral tower-like building. Direct access to the first to third floors, giving a feeling of blindness.
The gratitude to the designer is also indispensable, he is so concerned about the use of the staircase, designed this beautiful, and practical building, but for everyone in the Holy See, each of them is basically not an ordinary person, the physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, this kind of staircase climbing behavior, for them, is really unnecessary, not hard at all, if the designer knows that the staircase he worked hard to design, and those extravagant ornaments as flashy, will he be angry to death?
This spiral tower-shaped staircase building is directly connected to the area from the first floor to the third floor, if you reach the floor you want to go to, you can go out to the designated staircase entrance, like this spiral tower-shaped staircase, there are a total of three in the main hall, two are designed for the believers to walk, and the other is a special staircase that can only be used by the pope and bishops, which is used by the high clergy, symbolizing the difference in status.
Harry and the others were originally going to take the special staircase, but Harry chose the mass staircase that the believers walked on the excuse that the location was too far away and too deserted, and the nuns who followed Doloris were obviously a little unhappy, but they still endured not to speak, and followed Harry without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Miral, you've been so quiet all the way, what's going on? Harry noticed that Miral's condition was strange, and asked worriedly, it was strange that the usually lively Miral had become speechless.
"It's nothing, but I don't know why, I always feel like something bad is going to happen, I think maybe I'm too worried." Miral said with a wry smile, it was really strange that he had become a worried person who had been smiling and naughty in the past.
"If something happens, just tell me about it, maybe I can help you a little too." Harry didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, just said something reassuring.
"Harry, you're pretty reliable at a critical juncture." Miral said with a smile, seemingly relieved by what Harry had said.
"I've always been reliable, okay, so is Dolores, we're all your best friends, if there's anything you can't solve, just tell us, we'll do our best to help you." Harry smiled helplessly.
"Well, since you're all my reliable friends, I'll talk about my worries." Miral's expression of helplessness was relieved.
"Actually, I suspect someone from outside has come in." Miral said solemnly, unconsciously a protective shield-like thing surrounded Harry and the others, which was a protective magic to prevent the sound of speech from leaking out.
"Isn't that normal? San Lorenzo has always been visited by many people, and it is more of a place frequented by tourists than a place where believers gather, and I think that the number of tourists who enter San Lorenzo every day is not more than tens of thousands, which can almost be compared to the flower capital of Gerry. Harry said unsurprisingly.
"No, it's someone who came in by abnormal means, Harry." Miral's tone was unusual, and he looked very serious.
"Abnormal? Could it be ......" Harry pondered for a moment, his expression becoming solemn, and his steps down the stairs slowed.
"Somehow evaded the detection of the Tsarist Shield." Doloris added.
"Well, that's right, this kind of sneaky behavior is really suspicious, today is the fifth suspicious information I have noticed, although it is only a short moment, but I still feel it, absolutely right." Miral said.
"The protective measures of the shield of Tsarist Russia rely on those pillars built outside the wall, and the reason why San Lorenzo does not build the wall like other cities is also this reason, because the outermost pillars are like when there is a detection magic, as long as it passes, Miral can check what the person who passes is carrying, the attributes of the magic, the age, and the appearance, it is simply a perfect detection level, no matter who and what purpose he has, he will be discovered by Miral, and at the same time, there are also protective means, There's no need for a wall, right, Miral. Harry said backwards, he had known this knowledge for a long time.
"Harry is really, if you want to praise me, just say it, don't beat around the bush like this, it's not frank at all." Miral seemed to be a guy who couldn't stop talking when he heard others praise him, and said with a slight embarrassment.
The atmosphere was unusually serious, ruined by Miral, and Harry learned from Kalia struck Miral's head with a knife that struck him skillfully, "Whoa" he let out a cry of pain.
