One moment ago, he was still outside the city of Turin, the 'source of chaos', and there was still a heavy smell of sulfur in the air, but in an instant he traveled back thousands of years back to the present, and the branches outside the window began to spit out tender shoots, and the interweaving of life and death was so confusing that it also made Teris a little dizzy.

The scroll in hand was spread flat on the bed, and when I looked at it now, there was a lot of things missing, the original complete scroll was now a quarter missing, which destroyed the original integrity of the picture, and made the original profound painting a little funny, Teris thought for a moment, "This must be the effect of the dream just now." ”

"Teacher Constance should know these things, shouldn't he ask about them?"

These questions kept echoing in Tris's head, and after thinking about it for a while, Teres finally decided to ask Professor Constance what was going on.

"What's the matter with me?" Constance asked with a smile as he looked at Terres in the professor's office.

"Is it about that picture?" said Teris after a long time. "Something strange happened to me. ”

"Tell me what's going on, it's rare that you have a question to ask me, you haven't been here for so many days, I thought you were going well. ”

"Didn't the teacher give me a painting a few days ago?"

"Yes, I gave you one, don't you say you lost it?"

"I didn't lose the painting, I didn't lose it, how could I lose something so important!

"Just what? Tell me about it!"

Teres unfolded the scroll and showed it to Professor Constance, "It's missing a piece, just after I woke up this morning." ”

Constance took the scroll to himself and observed it carefully, "The paper of the scroll is very complete, there is no trace of being torn, and the colors of the corners are very natural, as if they disappeared naturally, and there should be no possibility of being manipulated by others." ”

"Tell me, there's something else I don't know. Constance put the scroll in front of Tris.

"Yesterday, I had a dream, and when I woke up, it was like this, so I asked my teacher for help. ”

"Well, what kind of dream is that, can you tell me more about it?"

"Yes, in fact, it's nothing, I just became another person in a dream, maybe a bishop, I stood in front of the temple of the church, leading tens of thousands of priests, as if rushing to the city of Turin, I should be going to save someone, but when I was about to reach my destination, I woke up under a shaking. ”

"When did you wake up, are you sure it's Turin?" Konstanz was a little surprised.

"Yes, I'm sure. ”

Constance was silent for a long time before he spoke, "You always surprise me, Tris. After a while, he continued, "There are some things I would have liked to tell you later, but now that you have entered this realm, I have to talk to you. ”

"Have you ever considered the true meaning of those scrolls in the Banner Library?"

"Inheritance, the transmission tool of the church?"

"It's so much more than that, a long time ago, they were a bunch of living people. ”

"How is this possible? It's not logical. Teris was startled.

"It's different in some places, but in general it's true. They are a kind of transformation, otherwise you think that there is a unique way of breathing hidden in a picture scroll? That painter would have that ability, unless he was a god. But even God, no one has seen 'Him' with their own eyes. ”

"Did they do it voluntarily?" asked Teres after a moment.

"Of course, no one can do this if it is not voluntary, which is extremely disrespectful to the deceased. ”

"Why are they doing this?" said Teres, a little unacceptable.

"Naturally, for the church, for the mainland, and for the countless commoners. This is a secret history of the church, and now that you know something, I'll tell you about those distant stories. ”

"The world will only remember that the cause of the 'source of chaos' is the church, but they will not know that it is the church that ultimately saves them, and maybe they will know and take it for granted, but strictly speaking, these are two completely different groups of people. And I'm going to talk about the latter group of people now. ”

"After the 'source of chaos', the left-behind personnel of each diocese all went to Turin City to rescue, unprecedented, twelve huge temples gathered in Turin City, this was a foolproof situation, but things finally changed, huge spatial turmoil, not only through Turin City, but also attracted demons, an encounter, just like that, it suddenly opened. ”

"The losses on both sides are huge, because of the influence of environmental factors in the Elren continent, the combat power of the demons has been greatly affected, the church reluctantly repelled the attack of the demons, and relying on the power of the temple, the church temporarily sealed the gap in this space and prevented the deterioration of this disaster. ”

"It's not quite settled, is it?" said Tris.

"Yes, the church also knows that the matter has not been resolved, the sealing of the spatial gap is destined to be a temporary thing, and no one guarantees that on that day, this seal will be lifted, so in order to prevent the recurrence of the demons, the high-level church at that time united, integrated the magicians who had been suppressed before, and prompted them to establish a magic association, in order to appease those local forces, and 96 cities were used as a base, the so-called joint committee was established, so far the millennium pattern of the Elren continent has been decided. ”

But these are not enough, in order to ensure that the talent of the church will not be interrupted, each diocese will have a certain number of strong people on B+ who will voluntarily turn into a map at the time of dying and contribute to the prosperity of the church. But this technique has been artificially disconnected, so that each parish probably only has a hundred paintings left. ”

"And what about this picture of mine?" asked Tris.

"Of course, it belongs to these scrolls, and what is special is that it is left by Bishop William. ”

"The 'conqueror' of the church?"

"Yes, after the source of chaos, one of the great church leaders, he participated in the construction and layout of most of the cities, helped integrate the Magic Association, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the creator of the Magic Association, and those guys of the Magic Association always avoid talking about Bishop William, this is an eternal pain in their hearts, but this is a fact, it is possible to develop until now thanks to Bishop William's charity and vision. ”

"It was a very wise decision, at least for now. Teris affirmed.

"yes, it was a very wise decision. The friends who didn't understand him at the beginning have all died, and only those of us who are younger generations are left to remember him and inherit his magic skills. ”

"So, he's the founder of our line?" Teris wasn't sure.

"Yes, there is no doubt about that. ”

"Then why not hang this picture in the shrine of the Banner Library, wouldn't it be better?"

"That will only make our vein disappear in the tide of history, not only our vein, but also the inheritance of the rest of the main veins, most of them are the same, because of the particularity of our breathing method, even if someone comprehends the breathing method, it only shows that we have the fire, and someone needs to help ignite it. Only in this way can you master the complete breathing technique. ”

"The method of lighting the fire is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, only the fire of the previous generation can ignite the fire of the next generation, but before you, I accepted a disciple, he was a very good student, but he died on the battlefield of the demon race. “

"I wasn't too sad at the time, not to mention that he died on the battlefield. As an old man, I have a better view of this kind of thing, but this is really a pity! The inheritance of the breathing method is like the inheritance of blood, we have the blood of William the Conqueror, and it is about to be broken with me. ”

"Just when I felt hopeless, you appeared, but you appeared too late, I'm not too young to have the ability to light a fire for you, and the only way is this picture. ”

"So, in order to continue this ancient pedigree, I could only take a gamble, and the results were very exciting, I bet right, you proved yourself again. ”

"What about my disciples? Teris asked suddenly.

"Well, I haven't thought about it so much, the current situation is already the best I expected, let's find a way in the future! Besides, I have handed over such an important thing to you, and this burden will be handed over to you. Constance smiled.

After a long silence, Terese finally didn't know what words to use to answer. At the end, I can only say, "Thank you for the trust of the teacher, I will definitely live up to the trust."

Constance walked up to Teres and patted him on the shoulder, "You should pay more attention in the future, don't be like your stupid brother, live well." ”

"Senior brother?" asked Terres.

"William Stuart, you've probably heard of that name?"

I've heard, of course I've heard it, the leader of the 'Summer Secret Meeting' operation, the 'Pious One' William who made outstanding achievements in the last war with the demons, according to the media, the action team was surrounded by the demons after the success of the sneak attack on the command post of the demon army, in order to cut off the way to his subordinates, William resolutely decided to stay, and in the end, although all the members of the group returned, William never returned.

In recognition of his bravery and selflessness, the Joint Committee specially awarded him a medal and publicized his deeds back and forth, these things Tris knew when he was very young, but he did not expect that many years later, the current events reversed, and he became his junior brother.

"Okay, that's all that needs to be said, I guess you don't have anything to ask, go back and concentrate on studying. I'm going to take a little rest. ”

"Then don't bother the teacher, thank you for the teacher's explanation. After thanking him, Teris turned away. Constance watched as Tris's figure grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, and what he wanted to say was still not spoken.
