Chapter 28: Memories and Forgetting
"So, you chose to turn to His Majesty the Pope for help?" Harris interjected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info His face was a little gloomy, and the first time he heard the secret about the strongest man, his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. The erosion of divinity was far more terrible than he imagined, and if he was not forced to do so, with crimson confidence and pride, how could he choose to turn to others for help?
"The Prophet is the embodiment of wisdom, and if he can't help it, then we really don't know what to do, okay?" Martina shook her head, a look of tiredness and helplessness on her resolute face. Facing the erosion of divinity, Olivia is certainly under great pressure, but as a female knight of her best friend, how can she be better off these days?
Suppressed by her divinity and threatened to spiral out of control, Olivia has to protect civilians as well as her best friends, while also trying to persuade them to put aside their arrogance and ask for help. Under the superposition of various events, if it were a weak woman, I am afraid that it would have been unbearable for a long time.
"The Prophet foresaw us and already knew why we came. Before that, I could never have imagined that the legendary prophet turned out to be such a kind and kind old man. Martina closed her eyes, remembering the solemn palace on the Isle of Oracles. The architectural style of the Supreme Church is simple and not luxurious, less exquisite than the Red Lotus Temple, but more atmospheric. They walked up the staircase of white stones, through the palace complex on the island, and were ushered into a small stone house.
The silver-haired old man in a pure white burlap robe stood in front of the stone house, looking at them quietly, smiling kindly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. ā
The old man smiled and welcomed himself and the others into the outwardly unwielding hut, where the few pieces of austere furniture made the old man look more like an "ascetic" than a powerful pope. In fact, if it weren't for those miraculous silver-white eyes, the prophet would have looked like a lonely old man.
After entering the house, the old man beckoned himself and the others to sit down, turned around, picked up a kettle, and poured three glasses of water on the table. Yes, the Pope of the High Church is to bring a glass of water to his guests, and if this is changed in the Red Lotus Temple, that cup must be the highest red wine or precious tea.
Although she is not a person of luxury, and she still has something to ask for in this trip, she still sighs for the "stinginess" and "hardship" of the prophet when she sees this scene. Of course, she had suspected that this was some kind of "hint" on the part of the other party, but when they looked around the hut for a week, they realized that there was indeed only water here......
The old man's speech and demeanor were very funny, funny to the point of almost a little "improper", from a casual sentence, he could always derive a lot of "strange" things, but whenever they mentioned business, the old man always avoided it. In his words, it is "what you need now is not a solution to the problem, but rest." āć
As a result, they had to settle down on the Oracle Island, adapt to this somewhat "twisted" life little by little, and begin the so-called "rest"......
Thinking of this, Martina's mouth unconsciously crossed a smile.
As the first few days passed, and the initial discomfort was put aside, she found herself truly relaxed like never before, and suddenly became less pessimistic about Olivia's condition than before. In fact, Olivia herself seems to have adapted a little faster than her, and is even in the mood to "tease" the hairy boys of the Knights' reserves.
To be honest, as long as I think of Olivia's actual "age" and look at the jealousy of those hairy boys fighting for her, I can't help but want to laugh out loud.
Of course, she would never tell the secret. She can't lie, but she has the right to be silent.
A few days later, on a whim, she began to observe the old man's daily life. She discovered that, in addition to his absolute devotion to the Most High Patron, the Prophet's greatest interest was actually fishing.
In addition to the necessary worship services and church affairs, he spends most of the day at the beach, catching fish for almost the whole day.
Catch it and put it back in......
She had asked him out of curiosity what was the meaning of this, and when the old man looked back at her helplessly, she would never forget the old man's sigh, which seemed to have been repeated countless times.
"When a person becomes famous, no matter what he does, there will always be people who think that he is doing it with a deep meaning of 'different', but in fact, this is often not the case. ā
"I just love it......"
More than ten days passed in a flash, Martina never knew that life could be so easy. However, the happy times will pass, and they will not be able to escape the reality after all.
That night, the old man, known as the "Prophet", called them into the house and officially began the "game" between him and Crimson......
"The Prophet didn't want to use that seal. Recalling that important turning point, the smile on the corner of the female knight's mouth was retracted: "He said that he actually hesitated for a long time before making such a decision. ā
"Why?" asked Ian.
"Because ......"
"Because he once used this seal to break up a couple, and that was the most regrettable thing he has ever done in his life. Without waiting for the knightess to answer, Harris spoke before she did.
"You know?" the knight was startled.
"Memories and forgetting......" Harris muttered and nodded in reply, "Of course I know the most 'vicious' seal in the world." ā
"No wonder the seal on her body was broken......" Another Harris shook his head at the sleeping girl and sneered, "...... Sersi is simply asking for her own suffering. ā
"The first seal is called 'Memory,' and the sealed person will forget something until he remembers it again, and it will disappear from the world forever. If my guess is correct, the Pope seals Olivia's perception of herself, making her forget that she is Crimson. So after Sersi reminded her, when she remembered this again, Crimson naturally broke the seal. ā
"Am I right?" he looked up at Martina, who nodded at him in surprise.
"And what is 'oblivion'?" Ian asked.
"Forgetting?" Harris shook his head with a wry smile, "It is to seal something into a person's memory, and until the person forgets it, the sealed thing will not be able to reproduce in this world." ā
"Twenty years ago, in order to break up a couple, he used 'memory' to seal one of the parties' memories of the other, and then used 'forgetting' to seal the party who imposed the 'memory' in the memory of the other party. In this way, if the other party can't forget their lover, then the other party will never be able to come out of her memory. And when she forgets her lover, when the party who has been subjected to the 'memory' comes out of her memory, the two of them are equivalent to forgetting each other at the same time. ā
"I want to use the method of unsealing to name these two seals......" Another Harris sneered, looking directly at the female knight who was stunned by the truth, and said, "Do you understand now, the kind old man you spoke of, what a wicked thing he has done?" (To be continued.) )
