Chapter 575: Lamia's Origin
"Lamia?" Lady Crossfia was a little surprised to hear this name, she glanced at Abner in surprise, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Where did you hear this name?" ”
Abner handed him a picture and gave him a brief account of his adventures in the valley with Judy and Karen.
Ms. Closfia, as a high-ranking member of the "Mother Earth Goddess" Church, is obviously qualified to know what happened to that action.
Of course, the section on the "Cursed Tudor Badge" and Mr. Azik was deliberately ignored by Abner.
Ms. Closfia took the group photo and listened to Abner's story, and finally nodded, "I see...... I get a general idea. ”
As she spoke, she examined Abner again before she organized her words:
"The woman in this picture is indeed Lamia...... And that man, if I'm not mistaken, should be Giuseppe Castilla.
"Lamia is an orphan who has been adopted by the Church of Life in Fenerport since she was a baby, and is a natural 'druid' who joined my husband's 'Desolate' squad as an adult......"
"Wait!" Abner interrupted abruptly, "Are you saying that she is an orphan and a natural 'druid' at the same time?" ”
This...... Is this the abandoned child of some demigod or angel? Bastard? But would such a big man care about fame? Or is there another big man in this who is a sufferer, so he needs to hide it? Or is there something else going on?
For a while, the stories of the protagonists in martial arts such as "Xuzhu" and "Cloud Flying" flashed through Abner's mind.
"I know what you're suspicious...... In fact, there are many people in the church who are dissatisfied with this, hoping that some being will stand up and take responsibility, after all, abandoning a baby is a serious violation of the teachings of Mother God and a desecration of 'life'.
"But in the end, the matter was suppressed by the Holy See, and after that, all the high-ranking people also kept Lamia's origin secret."
At this point, Ms. Closfia did not elaborate further on the question, but said:
"After Lamia joined my husband's team, she grew up very quickly, but she was a little withdrawn, except for my husband's captain, she didn't have a good relationship with other people, and she seemed to have some emotional defects......
"Well, these are all the information I found out later, and they may not be accurate...... After all, she was fifteen years older than me, and I hadn't really met her.
Then, when she seemed to be twenty years old, she suddenly left the church, left the 'Desolate' squad, and disappeared...... Strangely, however, the church hierarchy seemed to have acquiesced in her treachery, and no one else had ever asked about it except for the private search of my husband's team.
Then, thirty years ago, Lamia suddenly returned to the church with a child who was said to be her adopted son, and finally left the child and several of her experiments...... After that, he was never heard from again. ”
This is pretty much the same as I knew before, but with a lot more details...... In addition, there seems to be something wrong with the attitude of the high-level leaders of the Mother Earth God Church towards Lamia...... Is there anything special about her? Could it be that an angel in the church was born after being polluted?
No, in that case, she will not be so free at all, and the slightest humane will be the fate of being suppressed under the church for life......
While thinking for a while, Abner asked curiously, "The man in that picture is Giuseppe Castia?" Do you recognize him? Who is he? ”
"Giuseppe is the elder brother of the current Count of Seville, the eldest son of the old Count, and a member of the royal family of Fenerport...... Well, do the math backup, she should be my nephew...... I was four or five years old when he disappeared. At this point, Crossfia pointed to the photograph and continued, "I only saw him when I was a child, but he didn't change much except for the difference in his eyes......
It turns out that Ms. Closfia, you were originally surnamed 'Castilla', and you are also a member of the royal family of Fenerport...... It is no wonder that even as a high-ranking member of the Earth Mother God Church, she can still join the jury of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" and become a "lazy" lady.
After all, her identity itself is very valuable to be used.
"But...... Missing? Why is this Giuseppe also missing? Does his disappearance have anything to do with Lamia's disappearance? Abner thought so, and asked so.
"Speaking of which, Giuseppe's disappearance and Lamia's disappearance were indeed in the same year...... It's just that Giuseppe is a little earlier...... However, there was no intersection between them, and neither of them ever connected the two things...... But in this photo, it can be seen that their relationship is very unusual. ”
Staring at the photograph in a daze, Ms. Crossfia recalled for a while, and then continued, "I remember that the royal family did an investigation and found that Giuseppe had a clue to something, so they secretly went to Beckland, but never returned......
"Didn't you expect him to elope with Lamia?"
At this point, Ms. Crossfia's eyes burst with an inquiring meaning.
Abner was in deep thought at this moment, he had already guessed whether the man in the photo could be a time-traveler brought by the "Pure White Eye", and that Lady Lamia's "calligraphy" and special plants may have been influenced by him.
Following this line of thought, Abner gradually sorted out a conjecture:
Giuseppe Castilla was probably given a clue to the ruins where the Red Angel was located, so it was only natural that he went to Beckland and entered it......
And after his death, the power of the "Pure White Eye" descended, throwing the time-traveler into Giuseppe's body, just like Dennett, who was killed by the indulgent faction of the "Rose School", and was "resurrected".
He picked up the "Cursed Tudor Badge" in the ruins and managed to escape.
Then he met the runaway Lamia and lived with him in seclusion in the valley of Bayam?
But this final rendition ...... Seems far-fetched......
Abner pinched his chin and pondered, but then heard Miss Cross Fia say:
"By the way, when Lamia returned to church for the last time, in addition to handing in some of her research results, she also gave the seeds of a special plant to my husband......
"That should be the prototype of the doppelganger that Judy sent to find you."
Doppelganger...... Miss Plant......
Abner furrowed his eyebrows, and suddenly his mind flashed flexibly, as if he had grasped some key connection, and thought:
Wait, Ms. Lamia didn't know Giuseppe before, and she wasn't the church that left Giuseppe immediately when she disappeared......
Let's make a bold assumption here, what if she left on her own initiative after the arrival of the traverser? What if her goal from the beginning was to be a traverser?
A special plant used to craft a doppelganger......
Well...... One thing I remember is that in a book I read in my last life, the name Lilith is translated as Lamia in the Latin book of Isaiah...... This is also the beginning of Lilith's image as the Progenitor of Vampires...... Prototype......
Add to that the strange attitude of the Mother Earth Church towards Lamia......
Could it be that she is actually a doppelganger of the old god?!
