Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Flipping Through Memory
The Marquis of Stref is selfish, he and Liu Ci don't like each other, the two of them don't like each other, they are like fire and water, either they die or Liu Ci dies, of course the Marquis hopes to solve Liu Ci immediately.
However, Bishop Edward's sharp eye, seeing the marquis's selfishness, did not agree to the brutal killing of the two witnesses.
Not knowing when the black-clad monks would wake up, Bishop Edward did not bother to continue beating the selfish marquis, and took the lead in entering the room of the priestess Bertha.
Bertha Verling, a priestess in her early thirties, usually has a haughty look and a cold sense of rejection. When she fell asleep, Xu is cold eyes were closed, so that her whole person did not have that kind of cold arrogance, and the slightly frowning eyebrows added feminine softness to her.
Not only that, but she also has a proud figure. Lying still on the bed, the wide priestly robe hung downward, the thin fabric of which clung to the body, revealing a mature and moving curvaceous beauty...... At least the Marquis of Stleiff, who followed later, saw the scene in front of him at first glance, and was also disturbed by the perception of the priestess Bertha and the two of them on a daily basis.
Edward stood quietly in front of the bed, and just stared at the sleeping priestess, but his eyes were not the slightest lewd. It wasn't until he noticed the Marquis standing behind him that Bishop Edward said, "Did the priestess Bertha tell Moses herself that she had lost part of her memory?" ”
The Marquis nodded, although he didn't know what Bertha and Priest Moses talked about after he, Liu Ci and Priest Veblen left the room, it was obvious that Priest Moses and the black-clothed monk had no way to deal with Bertha's lost memories for the time being.
"That should be a very crucial part of the memory, and it must have something to do with the truth of the Soul Eater incident." The Marquis couldn't help but say, hinting to Bishop Edward that it would be very bad if he really had something to do with the dark creatures and remind the priestess of Bertha.
Bishop Edward was silent, as his back was to the Marquis, who could not see the subtle change in his eyes when he heard "Eater of Souls".
The Eater of Souls is a type of dark creature. Unlike other dark creatures that may have come from the undead realm, the Eater of Souls must have been a human. Human beings are reporting great pain, hatred, and unwillingness to die, and there is a certain chance that they will come back from the dead and become a "monster" with dark attributes. These monsters live by devouring the memories of intelligent life, and are known as Soul Eaters, whose intelligence is closely linked to the qualifications of their original bodies.
"A memory related to the Eater of Souls......" muttered Bishop Edward, who had come this far from being an unknown student in the Academy of Magic to becoming the foremost archbishop of the Holy See, Edward Wren was not the kind of person who loved to look back.
He can look at it calmly, not in disguise, but in his nature.
Edward was a man who would always look forward and not allow himself to be burdened by the past. In the process of success, step by step, there is always something that most mediocre people cannot accept, and everyone gives this kind of thing a uniform name: bad things.
Edward Wren never felt that he had done anything bad, and he was even cleaner than many people in the Holy See. Those necessary means were harmless in Edward's eyes—except for one thing, which he kept in the depths of his memory, and gave himself a deep mental hint to avoid that part of the memory.
And now, he wants to dispel the mental hints with his own hands and uncover the past decades ago......
Time did not allow Edward Wren to hesitate too much, and he held out a finger and pointed it at Bertha's slightly frowning brow.
Drifting white light spilled from Edward's fingertips, turning into a tangled thread that squeezed deep into Bertha's brow.
"Ahh
Bertha couldn't help but snort in her deep sleep, and her abnormal sleepiness made her not wake up in a dull pain, but her brows furrowed even tighter.
The Marquis of Strave watched Edward's movements, and guessed in his heart that Edward was probably searching for the missing part of the memory of the priestess Bertha, something that neither the priestess of Moses nor the black-clad priest could do...... Bishop Edward's strength is already terrifying? This realization made the Marquis hold his breath, not daring to disturb Edward's actions.
But it is said that Edward Wren, using secret arts, invaded Bertha's mental consciousness. The human brain is a wonderful being, it not only governs our behavior, but also stores what we see and hear. Everything that we see with our eyes and hear with our ears is divided into different categories and stored in our brains.
Any spiritual means can only temporarily blind a certain part of a person's memory, unless a physical attack is used to completely destroy the storage area, any bloody amnesia is destined to be a floating cloud in front of a true spiritual powerhouse.
Edward Wren was such a strong man.
The priests and dervishes of Moses were not strong, but they had much worse means than Edward. To be precise, a person who spans from an elemental mage to a papal bishop is a legend in itself, and naturally has means that ordinary clergy can't imagine.
Edward Wren began to look through Bertha's memories.
In his "eyes", Bertha's memory was a starry point of light, and the brighter the point of light, the more important the memory of Bertha's priestess. Edward skimmed over these places quickly, looking for memories that should have been bright, but were blinded by people.
When he tried a few times and finally found his goal, it seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, time had not passed too long.
Edward Wren's spiritual power wiped away the gray surface of the light spots, and with a soft "boom", he entered the memory of the priestess Bertha.
The figure of a girl with beautiful long hair like seaweed broke into his eyes, and even though he was now old, the girl was at the most beautiful age.
“…… Jenny? Edward couldn't help but mutter.
However, the girl in the picture could not hear his voice, she just exclaimed in surprise and ran to another man who was walking in disarray.
"I used to think about leaving you with me, it's so cold and so dark here. I've been here alone for too long, and Jenny is scared......" the girl said to the man.
- "Edward, will you return to your hometown after graduation?" If you're leaving me, go quietly and don't let me know. ”
Many years ago, she had said something similar to herself with her head tilted. At that time, the girl was always chattering and asking, repeatedly confirming the question of "love or not", and after so much time, Edward almost forgot that when the girl looked up, her eyes were as bright as stars.
He tried to preserve that intense and sincere beauty, but in the end all the paintings were destroyed in a fire.
Goodbye Jenny, Edward Wren lost his mind only for a short time, and soon his mind was again in Bertha's memory.
He saw Liu Ci and Bertha fight each other, and then everyone was thrown out of the dream by Jenny.
Familiar and unfamiliar underground caverns, bones, altars, and the tortured Jenny as a sacrifice - her empty eyes look at the sky, but she can never get out of the dark cavern.
- "Jenny, do you really love me?" ”
- "It's me, I love you, even at the end of my life." ”
Edward Wren suddenly remembered the conversation he had over the years, and the girl whose memory had been sealed for a long time suddenly became vivid.
Her every word, smile, and every move is as clear as yesterday. A very uncomfortable feeling suddenly rose in Edward's heart.
He hesitated slightly, but in the end he did not make any tampering, and directly withdrew from Bertha's spiritual sea.
"There's nothing in her memory, but another civilian girl from Emster may have a terrible memory."
Edward whispered.
Since he saw Liu Ci and Jenny befriending from Bertha's memory, what Liu Ci saw would definitely not be as shallow as Bertha.
Although Jenny was a herdsman's girl, illiterate, and without noble birth or magical talents, she was very intelligent. Otherwise, Edward Wren, who was arrogant in his youth, would not have associated with this herdsman girl, who was really attracted to this smart and beautiful girl at first.
Jenny has become a Eater of Souls, and she has no resentment towards her former lover, her last enemy? Clever Jenny, must have left a back hand on that civilian girl.
They were so similar, Jenny must have liked the girl named Liu Ci very much.
She "took" the memories of Bertha and the others, not to cover up anything, but to attract the attention of the Holy See! People are always not so easy to believe in the evidence that is laid out openly, but what they have worked so hard to dig up has a lot more credibility.
Once Bertha's blinded memories are discovered, they will eventually be found on Liu Ci. And in Liu Ci's mind, it is the evidence that can make him irreversible and his reputation nearly ruined!
"What a smart girl." Edward figured it all out and whispered praise.
"Let's go, Monsieur Marquis, and while our esteemed monks have not yet woken up, we must hurry up and meet the little girl who is giving you a headache."
The Marquis held back the joy that appeared in his eyes and nodded emphatically.
The two soon reappeared in Liu Ci's room.
Liu Ci is naturally also sleeping.
Edward didn't want to waste time, so he just repeated the old trick and put his finger on Liu Ci's eyebrows. White light overflowed from his fingertips, and according to the old routine, he desperately drilled into Liu Ci's sea of knowledge.
But this time, Liu Ci's memory door was not easily opened to Edward.
As soon as his spiritual power invaded Liu Ci's sea of knowledge, and before she could break free from her fatigue and wake up from the dull pain, Edward's spiritual power had already alarmed the Qinglian in the White Jade Spring Pool.
The external spiritual power still makes people feel uncomfortable and exudes malicious spiritual power...... With Qinglian's faint consciousness, it could only make such a judgment.
If it had been a little smarter, it would have chosen to deceive Bishop Edward into believing that he had "seen" what he wanted. If it is a little stronger, it may invade Edward's sea of knowledge retrograde and give the Bishop a blow!
But it's just a budding consciousness. In Liu Ci's sea of knowledge, it can still be a blessing, and without the sea of knowledge, it is not very powerful.
Qinglian is ignorant, it seems that it was born to only eat. You have to eat the elements you like, and meet the ones you don't like...... You can eat it, right?
So it didn't hesitate to eat the spiritual power of Bishop Edward's invasion -
"Hey, she's not a swordsman!"
He was amazed that the white light that overflowed from Edward Wren's fingertips never returned.
