Chapter 469: A Visitor to the Holy City
For a mage of Sivi's level, the entire Oronte continent has become a small village, and it only takes three consecutive long-distance teleportation spells to reach from Violet to Paari. www.biquge.info Of course, only a magician with sufficient attainments in space spells can resist the spatial turbulence that becomes stronger and stronger as the distance increases.
It was still the familiar Paari, compared to the ever-changing violet, the royal capital had not changed much, but it was as if a cold snap had come, and there were fewer people on the streets of the whole city, and a few hurried pedestrians wrapped themselves in heavy coats and walked quickly.
However, when Sivi came to the area around Notre Dame de Paali, he found that it was simply a sea of people, and the small island where Notre Dame de Paali was located was densely packed with a large number of people, all of whom had common characteristics, that is, coughs, colds, and weakness.
Sivi used an invisibility spell to cut through the crowd and came to the side entrance of Notre-Dame de Paali, where the paladins guarding the place quickly opened the door for him after seeing Sivi, apparently prepared.
If the dense crowd outside Notre Dame de Paali is mostly civilians, then there are also many dignitaries infected with wind and cold inside Notre Dame, and it seems that there is really a big flu that has hit the whole city.
Guided by two white-robed priests, Sivi passed through passages, then through a portal glowing with a faint golden light, and entered the underground of Notre Dame de la Paali, which is also the core of the entire Dawn Cult - the Dawn Shelter.
Almost the core elite of the Half-Dawn Sect gathered here, and they devoutly believed in the Lord of Dawn, although their current divine power still depended on the blessing of the Lord of Radiance.
"Master Sivi, you've finally arrived. Sensing the arrival of Sivi's capital, Eulicia, the Lord of the Morning Dawn, appeared, and the priests and knights around her immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted her.
"Hopefully it's not too late, Lord of the Dawn. Sivi took off his black top hat and bowed his head in salute.
Inside the Dawn Shelter, Sivi sensed the aura of light in the air, and even the wind chill that could infect the entire Paari could not bother it in the slightest.
"This wind chill seems to be very serious?" You must know that warriors and knights, when they become official professionals, their body's immunity and resistance have been greatly improved, and they will not easily get some minor diseases, but this time, Sivi saw many professional patients in the Notre Dame.
"This is not a simple wind chill, the wind from the north was originally pure, but when it was fifty kilometers away from the royal capital of Paali, it was strangely added to a rotten and filthy breath, which was an unprecedented breath, and most of the citizens of Paali had the flu and became very weak. Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, frowned: "I feel that this is a conspiracy and attack against the Church of the Lord of Radiance, the effect of the holy water is greatly reduced, and it cannot eradicate the flu, which is why so many dignitaries have come to Notre Dame." But the divine power of the Lord of Radiance that we can obtain is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and only a limited number of people can be healed, and Bishop Angsis is now under siege by the nobles, and he is in a hurry. β
You must know that the royal capital of Paari is one of the three major cities of Orrente, which already has more than two million people, and the impact of the wind chill that hit the entire city is very terrifying.
"How does the Palace of Versailles respond?"
"Martial law has been ordered, there is no need to go out, try to stay at home, schools are closed, factories are closed, no public gatherings are allowed. Yulicia shook her head slightly: "The first citizens who contracted the flu have already begun to die, although the probability is not high, but the panic caused is spreading, so there are more and more people outside the Notre Dame." β
For thousands of years, the Church of the Lord of Radiance has been guarding mankind, and although most of the highest priority healing resources and divine power have been used by dignitaries, in order to win their faith, civilians have also been cared for to a great extent, and many diseases that would have been enough to kill have disappeared after being removed by holy water.
So much so that now, even civilians can use their income to buy a holy water to keep at home and use it at a critical moment, but now, the holy water is unable to fight against this sudden flu.
"An omen of turmoil?" Sivi frowned, in the world of Orrente, it is not easy to build, but large-scale destruction is very easy, almost every legend has the deterrent power of a nuclear warhead, if it is a power in the dark that is about to move, then there must be a huge shadow behind it.
"The enemy's primary target must be confirmed, Julithea!" Xiwei Zhengse said: "The Lord of Radiance is about to pass away, whether this wind chill is aimed at the Dawn Sect or the Kingdom of France, and who is the spreader of the disease, we must investigate clearly before making a decision." β
"I'm researching the properties of wind chill, and if you want to find a way to get rid of it, you can come with me. Yulicia nodded, turned and led Sivi to the Chamber of Secrets.
It was a large chamber with two heavily guarded paladins guarding the door, and when they saw the arrival of the Lord of the Dawn, they all knelt down on one knee and saluted, a demigod of their faith, a source of spiritual sustenance and strength.
After opening the door, I found that there were ten beds inside, and there was a patient lying on each bed, and they all had one thing in common, that is, they were pampered and noble.
Seven of the patients were women, four were old people, and three were children, and Sivi recognized at a glance an acquaintance, the Duke of CrΓ©teil, the head of the Bureau of Noble Heraldry of the Kingdom of France.
Their condition is already more serious, not only with a cold and cough, but also into a severe state of weakness, and two people are already unconscious.
Even in a base camp of light origins like the Dawn Sanctuary, the ubiquitous light energies could not help them escape the ravages of illness.
"This virus is very tricky, they are eating away at the divine power in my healing spells, and they can't be completely eliminated unless I cast the seven-ring divine technique 'Silver Healing Hand'. Euricia's thoughts passed through Sivi's mind.
You must know that the biggest difference between priests and mages is that the number of their divine skills is strictly limited, and it completely depends on the gift of God, and the divine power consumed by the seven-ring divine technique "Silver Healing Hand" is very huge, and it is impossible to use it easily when this kind of radiant lord is about to leave and the divine power is exhausted, even if Yulicia herself casts the seven-ring divine technique, she must use the source of light.
"Can you allow me to study the condition?" said Sivi's face was grim.
"No problem!" Yulicia nodded.
Sivi's vision swept across the room, eventually reaching the bedside of a noble girl he knew, the daughter of a duke, whom Sivi had photographed as Joe Bradley.
The girl's complexion was pale, and she could hardly see blood, and her body was slightly hot, and she had lost a lot of weight.
Sivi pressed the girl's wrist, and Zero had already begun to drop the nanobot into the girl's body.
In the 35th century, human beings have completely conquered almost all diseases, and the average life expectancy of human beings has exceeded 200 years, and the longest life expectancy has lived more than 300 years.
Really look deeper, and find that it is even more shocking, the girl's appearance is still very delicate and pitiful, but most of the organs and flesh inside the body have begun to be diseased, and even irreversibly destroyed.
This is by no means an ordinary wind chill, but a premeditated wave of death!
Even if all the priests in the royal capital now do not hesitate to use their remaining divine power to purify evil and disease, it can only temporarily stop the spread of disease, and if the problem is not fundamentally solved, I am afraid that the entire city will soon become a city of death and decay!
This discovery made Sivi shudder, could it be that the turbulent era had begun? The dark forces could not wait to start spreading the deadly plague, knowing that the end of the original contract had not yet come!
This made Sivi even more determined to participate in the establishment of this Dark Council, which would be a collective appearance of all the forces in the shadows, and if he missed it, he would never know who the enemy was.
The Xiwei juggling technique generally takes out a large number of experimental instruments, and the beige machinery has a smooth metallic texture, which can also bring people a warm feeling and hope for life.
This is an experimental instrument for blood analysis, and the observation of the microscopic level of the biological body is very detailed, and Zero has extracted the virus sample collected from the body of the noble girl and put it into the experimental instrument to start the analysis process.
A glint flashed in Euricia's eyes, and she looked at these never-before-seen metal instruments with interest, looking forward to Sivi's next wonderful performance.
Several patients who had not yet fallen into a coma looked at Sivi with hope, hoping that he would be able to remove his illness and relieve his pain.
"Euricia, I need your cooperation with me to complete the experiment. Half a magic hour later, Sivi took the freshly baked observations, his brow furrowed slightly.
Except within the Dawn Sect, everyone knows that Yulicia is the newest Holy Maiden of Light in the Church of the Lord of Light, but this identity is also very glorious, and these dignitaries are willing to come to Notre Dame when life and death are at stake, and it is precisely the hope of life pinned on Yulicia.
Euricia did not accept them out of pure pressure, she also saw the brilliance of faith, if she could save these people from the brink of death, then she would gain the purest and most pious faith, which is the greatest reliance on the future gods!
At the request of Sivi, Euricia used several commonly used two-to five-ring magic techniques on the unconscious noble girl.
Sivi and Zero have been monitoring the girl's state to see how the virus works against the Light Magic.
After another quarter of an hour, the experiment was finally over, and Sivi and Euricia walked out of the room, sighing behind them.
"How?" said Yulicia looking at Sivi with interest, she had been taking these patients for a few days and had not yet found a way to get rid of the disease at the least cost.
"I need to know more about the Origin of Light!" "If he doesn't have enough knowledge of the Origin of Light, he can't figure out how the Divine Power of Light works.
"No problem, that's why I invited you to Paari!" Yulicia nodded, "We can start at any time." β
At this moment, a priest in a white robe suddenly walked up to the two of them, and his face was solemn: "Your Excellency, Lord of the Dawn, the messenger of the Holy City Vatini has arrived, and the Bishop of Angsis is receiving them, and they want to see you!"
Actually a guest from the Holy City of the Vatini!
You must know that since Pope Benton XVIII issued the Holy Great Retreat Order, the essence of almost the entire Church of the Radiant Lord of the Orent World has shrunk to the Frankren plane, and only the Church of Dawn has retained the activity of most of the semi-clergy at the insistence of Archbishop Angsis due to the presence of Euricia.
The Vatinian and the Diocese of Paari have formed a de facto estrangement, and the two sides have been silent about each other, and this is the first time since the Great Divine Retreat that there have been visitors to the Holy City.
"Who's the messenger?" asked Eulicia.
"Led by Cardinal Gordia and Silver Messenger Maudeleni!"
A legendary cardinal, a legendary paladin, that's a big deal. More importantly, these two people are the representatives of the Dawn faction within the Church of the Lord of Light.
The so-called Dawn faction believes that the Lord of Light is about to leave, and converts to the Lord of Dawn and guards her belief in the gods to ignite the divine fire and ascend to the throne, which is the best choice to truly ensure the sustainability of the power of light.
Yulicia turned to Sivi and apologized, "I'm sorry, I need to go up, it's not the time to introduce you to you yet." β
Sivi nodded in understanding, the Church of the Lord of Radiance, the first force of Oronte for thousands of years, must have a variety of people who insist on it, and Euricia will never lack supporters thanks to her unique status and identity.
When Eulicia appeared in the meditation room of Notre-Dame de Paali, Bishop Angsis and the two envoys had a pleasant conversation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Bishop Angsis and Godia were the best classmates and friends at Odaimara Seminary, and their friendship had been more than fifty years.
Godia looks like an ordinary, kind old man, but he is a cardinal of the Church of the Radiant Lord, who once presided over the entire Rhine Diocese.
"Old friend, after you responded to Benton XVIII's call for a sacred retreat, I thought you had lost your ambition and just wanted to retire in the plane of Franlon!"
Godia took a sip of black tea: "Ancis, there is no Lord of the Dawn in the Rhine Federation!"
"So, the power of the Church of the Radiant Lord in the Five Kingdoms has all been extinguished?" asked Bishop Angsis, heartbroken. (To be continued.) )
