Chapter 1002: Partners
Leo did not convince Sylvia that the people sent by the Orthodox Church could not investigate any useful information, because she was very familiar with the people sent by the Orthodox Court, they were all kinds of strong people, and even she was not confident that she would be able to win against them, so she thought that such a team would be able to find out no matter how deep the hidden things were.
However, the follow-up news she received the next day made her realize that things had indeed developed as Leo had hoped, and that the investigators of the Orthodox Church had gone deep into the abyss of the mountain stream, and had not seen any traces of man-made structures, and although they had found the lava river, they had not seen any cities built on the lava river, and the only thing they had to pay attention to was the bones of the huge eagle god that had sunk into the lava river.
It's a pity that even if it has been destroyed for so long, the power of the Eagle God has not weakened at all, and those strong people from various churches will feel a sense of suffocation if they get a little closer, and they can only crawl on the ground.
Those of them who had been exposed to the divine power of the gods for a long time were still so embarrassed when faced with the bones of the Eagle God, let alone the others, and the construction of a city on the lava river felt even more absurd to them.
So when they returned to the Orthodox Church from the chasm, they all came to the same conclusion without exception, that is, the information given by Sylvia was not credible.
"What now?" asked Sylvia, grim face.
"You actually found the wrong person in the first place, you shouldn't have found the Orthodox Church. Leo said bluntly: "The Orthodox Church has been operating for so many years, and the internal thinking has long been ossified, and because of the struggle with the royal power and other secular powers, their minds are focused on the struggle for these secular powers, and there is one more thing Have you ever thought that their thoughts on the matter of the mountain stream and abyss may not be the same as ours?"
"Why do you say that?" Sylvia frowned, puzzled.
Leo asked rhetorically: "If what I said is true, the Nephites usurped part of the church of the Lord of the Sky on the Valon continent through the God of Eagles, and became the gods of the Valon world, and began to conquer the civilization of the Velonon world according to their nature, is this really a bad thing for the Orthodox Church?"
"It's not a bad thing, is it still good...... Sylvia was about to retort Leo's words, but suddenly she thought of something that was about to come out of her mouth and stuck in her mouth, and swallowed it again, a contemplative expression on her face at the same time.
"I'm sure you've thought of it too. When Leo saw Sylvia like this, he knew that Sylvia already knew what he was going to say, so he continued to help Sylvia clear his mind and said: " In fact, the Nephites usurped the bishopric of the sky and became the new gods of the Velun world is not a bad thing for the Orthodox Church, once the Nephites begin to launch a war of conquest against secular civilization, then the countries of the Velen world can only rely on other gods, because only the gods can fight against the gods, and the final result is that the Orthodox Church and the various churches will restore the dominance of the church over the secular world. ”
"It's impossible for governments to allow this to happen. Sylvia said in a deep voice.
"It's really impossible to agree, but what's the use?" Leo shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "And new gods have reappeared in the Velond world, and can be active in the Velonon world, so what about the other gods? ”
Sylvia didn't say anything more when she heard this, and the look on her face became extremely solemn, because for a witch like her, or other alien transcendents in the world of Veron, the age of the gods with the highest power was definitely not an era worth remembering, and in that era, they were all heretics hunted by the church as prey, living a precarious life, and no sane person would want to return to that kind of life.
"You said I was looking for the wrong person," Sylvia asked, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room after a moment, "and who do you think I should ask to investigate this?"
Leo quickly replied, "The Church of the Lord of the Sky in the French Empire, the United Kingdom of France, the Black Forest, and Miria. ”
"I can understand the choice between the French Empire and the United Kingdom, after all, the increase in clerical power will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the royal power and the regime, and the authorities in both countries will not want to see such a thing happen. Sylvia slightly agreed with some of Leo's answers, but was still skeptical about the other two subjects, so she asked, "But what about the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Black Forest and Miria, didn't you say that the appearance of new gods is good for other gods?"
"Yes, it's good, but it's not good for everyone. Leo then explained, "Don't forget, the reason for the appearance of the new god, the Lord of the Sky will definitely not want to see this new god appear. As it stands, the vast majority of the purges in the United Kingdom are likely to become followers of the New Gods, but the Church of the Lords of the Sky in the Miria region is different, they are still very devout members of the Church of the Lords of the Sky. I suspect that they must also see that something is wrong within the church, so they decided to split into a part and take away the disciples loyal to the Lord of the Sky so that they would not be corrupted, so they will definitely spare no effort to investigate this matter when they are asked to cooperate. ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly, took a sip of the fruit wine on the table, and continued. "As for the Black Forest, it's even simpler, the Nefetes are an outsider to the Velon, and the Black Forest will never allow outsiders to infiltrate the Velon's world through that kind of tricky method, so the existence of the Black Forest knows about it, and there will definitely be movements, and the movements will be very large, after all, the Dibia Mountains are also an extension of the edge of the Black Forest, and the gods of the Black Forest can also exert enough power here. ”
After listening to Leo's explanation, Sylvia also felt that it made sense, and she immediately decided to give up her previous plan to cooperate with the Orthodox Church, and decided to pass on the matter of the mountain stream rift to the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Miria region, the United Kingdom, and the Black Forest.
After writing two introductory letters, Sylvia wrote the names of Hannah and Rupert Fitz on the recipients' sections, and then gave them to her most capable agents, who gave them to the recipients in the shortest possible time.
With all this done, she rewrote a more detailed letterhead, mentioning the Nephites' origin from the outside starry sky, and then asked Leo for a sacrificial vessel made from the skull of an unknown monster that White Deer had given them when they left the Black Forest.
This ritual vessel allows Leo to contact the White Deer in the Black Forest and communicate with him on letterhead, regardless of location.
The two took the sacrificial vessels, left the Black Castle, and came to the suburbs, and then painted the badge of the god name of the white deer on the ground according to the method taught by the white deer, and then put the skull in the badge, and Sylvia recited a string of prayers, and the badge of the god name of the white deer immediately emitted true light, and these lights were also integrated into the skull, making the skull appear a monster illusion with a body shaped like a ball, eight legs on the ground, and a huge mouth.
The moment the monster appeared, Sylvia threw the letterhead in her hand into the monster's mouth.
As soon as the letterhead entered, the monster closed its mouth and vanished, along with the light on the skull and the badge of God's name.
"The next thing is to wait for news. Seeing that it was over, Sylvia prepared to pick up the skull.
But Leo grabbed her and said, "It's not over yet. ”
As Leo's words fell, the God's Name Badge and skull bloomed again, and an illusion appeared on the skull again, only this time the illusion was no longer the monster, but the white deer.
I saw that the expression on Bailu's face at this moment was very serious, and after the illusion stabilized, he immediately asked Leo and Sylvia, "Can the matter on the letter be confirmed?"
"Yes, for sure. Leo replied in the affirmative.
"This news is important to us. Bailu said very seriously: "I still need a favor from you." ”
"Help what?" asked Leo.
Bailu said in a deep voice: "You just said that you want to unite the French Empire, the United Kingdom, and some of the Bishops of the Sky to investigate this matter, and I also hope that you will contact them for me, indicating that the Black Forest will also be involved in this matter." ”
"That's fine. Leo nodded.
Bailu continued: "In addition, although the Dibia Mountains are an extension of the Black Forest, we are limited in what we can do there, so if we want the Black Forest to join the battle, we need to find a way to help us create a temporary Black Forest. ”
"How?" asked Leo.
Bailu didn't answer, but stretched his neck, spit out a very old-looking book from his mouth, and said, "This is written on it, you had better give it to those disciples of the Lord of the Sky, they are the right people to use this method." After saying that, he was about to end this conversation and dispel the power of condensing his body, but when his eyes swept over the surrounding environment, he saw the black castle standing on the Wanghai Cliff, and couldn't help but be stunned, stopped dispersing the power in his body, turned to Leo and Sylvia, and asked, "Is this a place called Wanghai Cliff in the south?"
"Yes. Sylvia was stunned for a moment and said, "You know this place?"
Bailu couldn't help but show a slightly strange look, looked at Leo and them, and said, "Why did you choose to come here?"
"This is my fiefdom, and the black castle in the back is my castle. Sylvia explained, then asked, "Is there something hidden here?"
"Of course there is a problem," Bailu replied in the affirmative, and then said with an incredulous look, "I didn't expect someone to build a castle here for people to live in, and nothing happened," as he spoke, he looked at Leo and Sylvia again, and said meaningfully, "This is really a miracle!"
Seeing Bailu's obvious attitude, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other, and then asked, "I wonder if you can tell us what the secret of this Wanghai Cliff is?"
"It's inconvenient to say, but ......" Bailu shook his head first, then thought of something, and disappeared with his figure, but the light of the skull and the god's name badge did not disappear, and after a while, he reappeared, and spit out a book on the ground, and said: "This book is a boring travelogue written by a boring person, not a product of the Black Forest, not restricted by the rules of the Black Forest, you can take it and take a look, the things you want to know are in it, even if the content in it looks a little godly." Then he said very cautiously, "But I would like to warn you that you must be careful not to be carried away by your content when reading this book." ”
After saying that, Bailu didn't wait for Leo and Sylvia to ask new questions, so he directly dispersed the power and disappeared from the two of them.
When Sylvia picked up the skull and cleaned up the god name badge on the ground, Leo also picked up the two books on the ground, and said: "Wait for me to finish reading these two books, and then ...... the contents" As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, followed him and carefully looked at the cover of the book that recorded the secret of the sea cliff, his face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the knowledge of the thirteen ancient gods of the madman, this is the knowledge of the thirteen ancient gods of the madman." ”
When Sylvia heard this, she immediately looked at the book in Leo's hand, and when her eyes fell on the cover of the book, she immediately felt a kind of nausea that she had never felt before, and with intense vertigo, her eyes were also distorted in this terrible feeling, and everything she saw became a distorted object that could not be expressed in words.
Fortunately, however, the feeling came and went quickly, and when Leo noticed that something was wrong with Sylvia, he immediately wrapped the book in his hand with his clothes, covering the cover, and after the book disappeared from her eyes, she recovered.
"Why did you react so much? I thought ......" Leo was about to say something when he saw Sylvia's pale face.
"This is not the knowledge of the Thirteen Ancient Gods of the Madman. Sylvia interrupted Leo's words, adjusting his state and affirming, "This is the Twisted Book, the Twisted Book written by the Heresy Saints. ”
"Is this the Twisted Book of the Heretical Saints?" Leo was stunned, looked at the wrapped book in his hand, and said, "Isn't the Twisted Book already destroyed?"
"Yes, ruined as far as I know. Sylvia nodded, then guessed, "Unless the heretical saint of the year wrote two twisted books." ”
