Chapter 1023: Bishop Barron's Troubles
Leo didn't hide all the secrets he had gained from Sylvia, and he told Sylvia about them, and Sylvia, after listening to Leo's account, was not shocked for too long, but instead considered whether it was safe to live in Castle Black.
Leo shook his head and said: "It's okay, the power here is very stable, as long as there is no problem with the lighthouse, there is no need to change places, and the power here is also a kind of protection for you, at least no one can use extraordinary power here, you just need to add some castle guards, there will be no danger, and the same is true for Tolan." ”
Sylvia felt that Leo's words were also right, in the absence of supernatural strength, she was very confident in her skills, and if she recruited some castle guards, little Tolan's safety would at least be no problem, and she dispelled the idea of moving that had just occurred in her heart.
"Are you still going to study the Turing root on the lighthouse?" Sylvia asked again.
"Yes, we will continue to work on it. Leo gave Sylvia an answer that he didn't quite want, but then he assured, "But until I'm completely sure, I'm not going to touch those Turing roots, I'm just going to deduce them in my head." ”
Seeing Leo's assurance, Sylvia didn't say anything more.
In the next two days, Leo only took a little look at the other book that Bailu handed to him, and then asked Sylvia to send something to the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Miria region, and reluctantly removed himself and Sylvia from the Eagle God, and the next thing to do was to wait for news.
However, the news of the tripartite cooperation between the United Kingdom, the French Empire and the Church of the Lord of the Sky in the Miria region has not yet reached Leo's hands, and another news has already arrived earlier than Leo expected, and this news is the news about the lighthouse from the Poseidon Church.
As Leo expected, the Poseidon Church was indeed able to get in touch with the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England, and this connection was very stable, otherwise it would not have been possible to pass on the information about the lighthouse in its entirety, and the amount of information was beyond his expectations, as well as four finger-thick notes.
"What did you give?" asked Leo as he looked at the notes related to the lighthouse builders, and instead of immediately taking them over and looking through them, he looked at Bishop Barron in front of him.
"It's just a few places. Bishop Barron replied calmly.
Leo was not too surprised, because this price was within his expectations, in his opinion, the Poseidon Church could get its hands on it, and the only thing that the Poseidon Church on the side of the Inge Kingdom was to enter the Poseidon Temple after the sacrifice ceremony, which was a close contact with the Poseidon they believed in, which was definitely an extremely important thing for the devout Poseidon cultists on the side of the Inge Kingdom.
"Are they going to send someone to the sacrifice ceremony after the gray fog is over?" asked Leo casually.
"No," Bishop Barron replied, sighing, "and they'll send someone to the next ceremony." ”
"Next ceremony?" Leo was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and said, "The one in seven days?"
Bishop Barron nodded, and without waiting for Leo to ask, he continued to explain, "A way has been found over there to allow a small number of ships to sail safely on the seas, and their ships will arrive here in a few days. ”
"With the Poseidon Scepter?" Leo inferred.
Bishop Barron hesitated, and said, "I don't know much about this, so it stands to reason...... This will not be known until the ship arrives. ”
Bishop Barron was vague for a moment, and then did not stay in the castle any longer, but said that Leo had new results in his research, and immediately informed him, and then left with a lot of thoughts.
"Something happened to Poseidon's Church?" Leo asked, turning to Sylvia.
"Nope. It was impossible for Sylvia, as the head of the spy, not to know that something had happened to the church forces around her, so she quickly answered.
Leo thought for a while and said, "Then it seems that something has happened to the Poseidon Church over there in the Kingdom of England, which has made the Poseidon Church here worried." For example, that side has already mastered a very perfect method of passing through the gray mist, in this case, that side is equivalent to having completely mastered the sea power of the Velen world, and the Poseidon Church here has not had time to exert its strength, and it has been driven out. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Sylvia shook her head and said, "Although the sea power is very important, for the Poseidon Church in Landall, it doesn't matter whether there is sea power in the Vilun world or not, they are more concerned about the ownership of the church. Saying that, she thought for a moment and said, "I think that the Kingdom of England must have found something very important to the belief in the Poseidon Church, which is enough to shake the authority of the Poseidon Church of Landall, which is why Bishop Barron is so anxious." ”
"What could affect the belief of the Poseidon Church more than the Poseidon Scepter?The Poseidon Scepter didn't have a fatal effect on the Poseidon Church of Randall at the beginning, not to mention ......" Leo shook his head slightly, rejecting Sylvia's speculation, but he seemed to think of something and suddenly changed his words: "Unless the Inge Kingdom finds the Poseidon itself." ”
"I know what's going on?" Leo's words seemed to inspire Sylvia, and she immediately exclaimed, "I know what the Inge royal family is going to do?"
With that, she stood up, walked to the study next door, quickly rummaged through a large bookcase, and finally found an old file, then opened it and looked at the contents of the file inside, and after confirming that it was correct, she walked over with the file, handed the file to Leo, and said: "The Kingdom of England should want to make the son of the sea." ”
"Children of the Sea?" Leo was slightly stunned when he heard Sylvia's words, and then opened the file in his hand while quickly searching for information related to the Children of the Sea in his mental database.
The archival document that Sylvia handed him was not very content, and Leo quickly read it, and the time of this archival document was a few years ago, after Leo helped the Inge royal family recover the Poseidon Scepter, when the Inge royal family hoped to use the Poseidon Scepter to create the Children of the Sea and completely control the sea, but was stopped by the Poseidon Church of the Inge Kingdom, which was worried that the royal family would have too much power.
After reading this archival material, Leo also found other information about the Children of the Sea in his mind, and understood why the Episcopal Church of Barron seemed so anxious.
The Son of the Sea, also known as the Poseidon Agent, is regarded as the person who exercises the divine power of the world for the Poseidon Church, and has appeared twice in the church history of the Poseidon Church, each time when the Poseidon Church will have an existential crisis, and the appearance of the Son of the Sea led the Poseidon Church at that time to survive various crises and allow the Poseidon Church to continue to exist.
The reason why the Son of the Sea will be called the Positorfor of the Sea is because the Son of the Sea can control the currents and storms of the sea, can communicate with all creatures in the sea, and can endow the devout priests in the church with the magic that only the god of the sea can give, so there is also an unwritten iron law in the Poseidon Church, that is, once the Son of the Sea appears, no matter how chaotic the factions within the Poseidon Church, the Son of the Sea must be unconditionally honored as the Pope. Leader, obey all the arrangements and instructions of the Son of the Sea, otherwise, you will be an apostate of the Poseidon Church, and you will be endlessly hunted down by the Poseidon Church, from the clergy to the believers.
There is no doubt that if the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England really created a Son of the Sea, then the impact on the entire Poseidon Church will be turned upside down, not to mention the Poseidon Church in Landall, even if the Poseidon Church in other places must obey the orders of the Son of the Sea.
However, according to the documents that Leo saw in the Poseidon Church, there has never been a definitive conclusion as to how the Son of the Sea came about, and the most accepted theory is that the Son of the Sea is an incarnation created by the Poseidon with his divine power after hearing the prayers of the believers, so every Son of the Sea was the most devout believer of the Poseidon Church before he appeared, and he was also the most favored family of the Poseidon.
Although Landauer's Poseidon Church is reluctant to admit it, they also know very well that since the Poseidon Church split into two factions, the Inge Kingdom and Randall, the probability of the Landauer Poseidon Church appearing as the Son of the Sea is infinitely close to zero, because even if they do not recognize the identity of the descendants of the Poseidon of the Inge royal family, they cannot deny that the Inge royal family is the most favored family of the Poseidon, so if the Poseidon Church produces the Son of the Sea again, it will only appear in the Inge royal family.
"Could it be that the Poseidon Church of the Kingdom of England sent people to participate in the sacrifice ceremony in seven days because of the Son of the Sea?" Sylvia guessed after seeing Leo fall into a state of contemplation.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "It should be," and then asked, "But what good is this for the Poseidon Church in Randall? If the sacrifice after seven days is crucial to the production of the Children of the Sea, they can refuse it." ”
Sylvia shook her head and said: "One thing you may not understand, although the power struggle in the church is often more fierce and cruel than the struggle for secular power, but in the final analysis, they are all believers of the sea god, and they can become high-ranking priests, and the people who control the church are all devout disciples of the sea god. No matter where the Son of the Sea is generated, it is an important and honorable thing for the entire Poseidon Church, and in this situation, if the Poseidon Church has a person who can influence the ocean, then the Poseidon Church will also control the entire ocean, which will be of great benefit to the entire Poseidon Church. ”
Leo nodded slightly in agreement with Sylvia's opinion, and said with interest, "This has aroused my interest, how the Poseidon Church was able to make the ship cross to Randall in the sea blocked by the gray mist. ”
"I don't think they need to cross the sea. Sylvia pointed to the materials in Leo's hand and said, "They should have opened a spatial rift directly through some method, passing from the Kingdom of England to Landall. ”
"Spatial rift?" Leo thought for a moment, and did not fully agree with Sylvia's guess, although theoretically, it was possible to open up a spatial rift and travel through Randall, but there were some fundamental problems that needed to be solved.
One is the stability of the spatial rift, unless it is an omega-level high-level lifeform, even a ninth-level psionic person would not dare to say that he can create a stable spatial rift.
Then there are the azimuth coordinates, the spatial rift without spatial coordinates may be directly sent under the earth, or the ocean, and be directly squeezed to death by the mud or seawater, and according to Leo's understanding, none of the various extraordinary powers in the Velen world seem to involve space, nor do they have any knowledge related to space.
Finally, it is whether the body of the walker can withstand the pressure of space travel, and in the case that the walker is an ordinary person and there is no special protective device, walking through the space rift is tantamount to a suicidal act.
"It's like the teleportation technique used by the Towson sorceress. Sylvia seemed to see what Leo was thinking, and reminded.
"It's different!" Leo shook his head and said, "First of all, the energy laws of the world are different, and Towson's teleportation technique may not be able to produce effects here, and even if it can produce effects, the effect may be different from when it was in Towcente. The second is that when the teleportation technique is cast, there are teleportation markers at the starting point and the key point, and teleportation without a road marker will be extremely dangerous, unless it is a short-distance teleportation that is visible to the eye, it is almost equivalent to suicide. ”
After explaining to Sylvia, Leo had no intention of continuing to talk to Sylvia, he now preferred to be able to look through the few books in his hand, but when he left, he still asked Sylvia to send someone to pay attention to how the people from the Kingdom of England arrived in Randall.
If he had come to Landall by boat through the fog of the sea, it would be good news for him, and it would mean that he would have the opportunity to go to sea by boat and go elsewhere.
With the materials in hand, Leo returned to the lighthouse, and then eagerly began to look through them.
The contents of the manuals for the production of the searchlight and its base on the lighthouse in two of these four materials are not very important, because most of the records from them are the disassembly parts and forging process of the searchlight, and the rest is the forging process, and there is a beautiful searchlight disassembly and assembly drawing at the end, from which it can be seen that the searchlight of the lighthouse itself is just an ordinary lighthouse searchlight.
However, in addition to the same style and operating principle of the searchlight that Leo saw at the top of the lighthouse, there are also a lot of differences in some other details, such as the most oriented place, that is, the searchlight base on the lighthouse and those edges have a large number of Turing roots, but there is no content related to them in those two materials, and only from some small details can be found that those places engraved with Turing roots are reserved in the searchlight design Shijiang.
