Chapter 177: Ask the Captain
Captain Balivian was placed on the couch in the captain's room, and he woke up as Luo Ling volleyed at him.
When he saw Xiao Chen and the others in front of him, he was startled at first, and then hung his head in frustration, looking like they were all finished.
Xiao Chen asked, "I think it's strange, why are you so resistant to communicating with us. To me, you seem to be a learned and rational person. It should be seen that if we were willing to communicate, we would not use magic to subdue you. ”
Captain Balivian looked resistant, keeping his mouth shut and refusing to utter a word.
Xiao Chen said: "In this room, except for us, it is you." No one else is there, and no one will hear what you say. Why don't we talk? I know, you're panicking and wondering what's going on, right?"
Balivian glanced at Xiao Chen, then swept over the others in the room, then closed his eyes and said two words repeatedly: "In the face of the devil's gaze, I should turn a blind eye. In the face of the devil's words, I should keep my mouth shut. ”
Xiao Chen listened, this was like two precepts. "If we weren't the devil," he said, "you wouldn't have to. But if we're really the devil, do you think the devil will just let you go?"
He walked up to his picture and said, "You have a happy-looking family, a beautiful wife, and three lovely children. I think you'd love to see them again, right?"
"You, you're going to kill me?" asked Balivian at last.
"No!" After uttering the seemingly threatening words, Xiao Chen changed the conversation and said, "We are not devils, and I will not kill you." I'm just telling you, there's no benefit to being reluctant to communicate. ”
"No one wants to have anything to do with the power of the devil. No matter where you come from or why you come from, as long as you have the power of the devil, then you are the source of calamity. I'm just trying to protect myself. Balivian looked up and said with a look of frustration, "You don't understand. Whoever has anything to do with the power of the devil on this continent has committed the most forbidden evil deeds. Not to mention, you look so much stronger than the sneaky wizards on the continent. If I had communicated with you, who knew what they would do to me? I would not have been able to be a captain anyway, and my life would be over. ”
"It's not an 'if' anymore. Now is an established fact. Luo Ling said.
Balivian sighed again.
"Who are they?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Naturally, it's the adjudication body. "As long as anyone provokes the referee and is caught, there is no return." ”
"What kind of institution is that?" Xiao Chen asked again.
Balivian said, "The inquisitors are those under the Holy Virgin who specialize in dealing with the power of the devil. They don't care about anything else, but when they hear that anyone has come into contact with the power of the devil, they will appear there and arrest or execute those wizards. I have seen them a few times, and they are all wearing masks, black clothes, and tattoos of saints on them. These people are ruthless and will not spare anyone who has a connection to wizards. And they all have some special abilities. I've heard that they can grab people without using their hands or feet, can fend off bullets with their bare hands, and can even kill enemies with their minds. ”
"Who is the Holy Maiden?" Umeda asked.
"Holy Maiden, you are asking such a question, Holy Maiden is the leader who leads mankind against the devil. The entire continent is under the authority of the Holy Maiden, but she does not bother with ordinary political affairs, but only leads the general direction of humanity. Ordinary government affairs are managed by the Philosophers. The sages were those who had been elected by the various regions to be highly respected, and of course, most of them were members of large local families. It is only when the saints think that there is something wrong with the policies made by the sages that they intervene in these matters, but this is not often the case in history. But these people cannot replace the place of the Holy Maiden in our hearts, after all, all of us have grown up carrying the precepts given to us by the Holy Maiden. ”
"It's like, 'I should turn a blind eye to the devil's gaze.'" In the face of the devil's words, I should keep my mouth shut. 'Is that the case?' Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes. This is the third precept and the fourth precept. The Holy Maiden handed down thirty commandments, twenty of which were about the devil. are at the top of all the precepts. ”
"But where did the Holy Maiden come from?"
Balivian: "Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden has always existed, she is eternal and immortal. ”
"Eternal and immortal, is it a new deity?" said Umedada.
"No! Of course not!" Balivian was a little angry when he heard the word god, "The first rule of the holy woman's precept is that the holy woman is a human being, not a god, and is reincarnated to protect human beings. In the Holy Maiden's view, all the gods who want to be above humans are devils who take the name of God. They falsely claim that the gods are not there to bless people at all, but to enslave them. Those poor people on the other continent across the Devil's Sea were turned into slaves by these gods.
And the saint has always existed for everyone, but she will be born, old, sick and die just like humans. It's just that whenever the saint grows old, she is reborn as a newborn baby. Now the saint is only sixteen years away from her last rebirth, and she looks like a young girl. ”
Luo Ling said: "If this is true, does that mean that the saint is a soul body?"
Balivian said: "I don't care if you are devils or not, but please don't talk about the saint, otherwise, I won't say a word to you again." ”
Xiao Chen said: "Don't get excited, we won't say such things again." ”
He pointed to the books on the shelves and said, "Are the stories in these books, like The Burning Queen, true?"
"yes. Did they really burn the witch?" Umeda asked.
"This ...... The witch was indeed a rebel leader in history. But the plot to confuse men is all made up. Balivian seemed a little embarrassed, "This is a book that has recently become popular with witches on the mainland. However, there were really wizard rebellions, and in the past, witches and wizards would have been burned at the stake. ”
"And now?"
"Now...... and they will disappear. In fact, this kind of ending is not necessarily much better than burning to death, right? After all the wizards were arrested and put in the demon suppression prison of the inquisition, there was no more news. Their families will also be removed from the local area and sent to the Demon Suppression City, which specializes in managing wizards' families. Anyway, this family is over. ”
