159. Church
Legend has it that in the days when magic was still being abused, but the exact year is no longer known, there was an Empire Restorer, who bewitched almost all of Yerevan with clever words, but when he was about to succeed, he suddenly gave up, and then the Magic Empire that came to his senses pronounced a sentence on him with great anger, and those who were probably the craziest and most cruel humans of all time made a decision that is still unacceptable to mention - to banish the Restorer forever until the day ten years ago.

"Whatever it is, all traces of our existence during this time will be traced back the moment the conditions are met, and the process will be repeated until reincarnation again. Toth smiled and said, "Eventually, our souls are overwhelmed by the repetition, and only our bodies are left to endure this endless punishment."
Of course, we are much luckier than him, and if we are careful, we can spend thousands of days before death comes. ”
Stana was apparently the first time he had heard Toth tell him about the history recorded by the mage, "What about the worst outcome? I mean, if death is the ultimate in this set of punishments, it doesn't seem unacceptable. ”
Toth frowned and looked at the people in the surveillance who suddenly stopped moving, as if the two who were grief-stricken a second ago were completely different from them, and he didn't know what kind of expression to use: " For a so-called heinous human being, death is the best ending, and the process of torture is the punishment for them, just like time exile, with the speed at which the soul escapes in retrospection, it will take them about hundreds of thousands of years before they finally die, although most people can only hold on to one ten-thousandth or even one in hundreds of thousands. ”
"So, we have to thank my teacher?" Stana tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath, and the time banishment in Toth's mouth was too cruel for the researchers in Yerevan.
Toth was as optimistic as ever, "Who knows, maybe we'll go back naturally after we've finished reading Kern's life." ”
......
Just as Toth and Stanner reached an agreement to put the search for backtracking on hold for the time being, he suddenly felt the identity ring on his index finger tremble twice, and it looked like someone was trying to bypass the barrier to listen to their conversation. ”
Stana, at this time, Toth had already pushed the door open, but before he could take a step, he was blocked by several people at the door: "What the hell are you going to do?"
"Is this your non-bother?" Thoth smiled maliciously at the wary elf, and then said with a sinking face, "You have given them survival, and I will give them hope." ”
"Hope?" the elves were somewhat unfamiliar, and under the protection of the goddess, the words despair and hope had always been insulated from them.
Eventually, the elves seemed to have received some instructions, and the one at the head handed over a pair of light yellow lenses, "Then please bring this with you so that you can see our watchers, and good luck." ”
Thoth muttered in his heart, but in the end he didn't stop the elves from leaving, because he found a milky white building in front of the elven gathering area and the human complex, and the lonely huts were scattered among the layers of trees, and the familiar symbol on the top of the building firmly attracted his attention.
It is a symbol consisting only of a ring and a cross, the circle represents the world and the embodiment of justice, and the cross represents the church and the power that supports justice. Their believers believe that the world must be supported by enough justice to form a perfect circle, and the circle is the most perfect image in their perception.
Thoth knew so well about a seven-thousand-year-old church, not that his brain was idle enough to cram in this almost useless knowledge, but because the emblem was Mercer's church, the coat of arms of Aiclicia.
Do they have such shabby churches? Toth remembered the general size of the church that Moser described to him, a small house like this, even if all the conditions did not allow it, no church member could tolerate its existence, which had nothing to do with luxury, and in their eyes, the attitude towards the church was the attitude towards the faith, at least it should not be this kind of appearance that had not been cleaned for a long time.
It was a small dilapidated house, but it caught Thoth's eye, and he walked to the front of the chapel and peeked through the window, as if there was something inside that he had to pay attention to, could it be the elves' own initiative? It was difficult for Toth to describe this inexplicable feeling, but if he examined his memories at this time, he would find that the remains of the angels he had killed with his memories were moving through his memory storage little by little as if they had come to life.
Three times in a row, and then two times, Toth knocked on the door of the church, the church in Yerevan had the duty of providing a foothold for believers who traveled far and wide.
Only this time he didn't get any response, the hut without sunlight was dark, and it was impossible to see if anyone was really inside, Toth and Stana looked at each other, and they both put their hands against the wall of the church, and in the spiritual grid, an intricate three-dimensional chapel appeared there.
To their surprise, the small interior of the church was covered with zigzag corridors, no red carpets, statues, or even common frescoes, only doors two meters long and one meter wide, densely lined up on the walls of each corridor in the church, and nothing else.
Now both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes, if it was just these things, the two of them were just curious, but the decoration on the door was not so simple.
Just as the two of them were about to break down the main door of the church, the door, which had not found any locks, was suddenly opened from the inside, and an old voice trembled: "I thought I had heard me wrong, gentlemen, since, since, since, few people have come." ”
The man said strange things, and his body was covered with scratches, and in some places there were large pieces missing, but these were casually ignored by Toth, for they saw that the owner of the voice, with an empty face on his head, in the middle of his shoulders.
Looking through the gap between his bodies, a small table was in the middle of the dark red old carpet, and a heavy dark book was pressed together under the gaze of the only tall statue.
