Chapter 35: You're going to play it too, right?
When Ivus woke up, he found himself in a familiar place again.
This is the Cathedral of the Red Queen.
It wasn't that the last time he learned the sacred craft was when he entered the Chapel of St. Genevele, but the main hall where people came and went.
He was not the presiding officer of the ceremony, but sat in the back row praying quietly.
Ivus looked down quietly, and found that he was dressed almost the same as before entering the dungeon.
He was still wearing a white priest's robe, and he didn't even wear a crown on his head.
Is it a newcomer pastor?
…… Strange, who am I?
Just as Ivas was wondering, a hoarse voice as sharp and unpleasant as a fingernail rubbing against a blackboard suddenly sounded in his head:
"You are Priest Julio Alexander, twenty-seven years old.
"Your niece, Lisa, was killed a month ago, but the Inspectorate, who pursues the Transcendental Way, has not been able to identify the killer.
"A month after that incident, you received a letter. The letter mentions that you 'did not do what they say' and threatens to kill your son, Ivas Alexander, next – today.
"Fortunately, you are a student of Bishop Samuel Mathers, so you have taken refuge in the Cathedral of Candles with your wife and children today......
The next moment, a few lines popped up in front of Aihuas's eyes.

Seeing all this, Aihuas's pupils suddenly contracted.
He suddenly realized something. Even Evas's breathing froze for a moment.
He turned his head sideways and saw his "wife" beside him.
She has long white and blonde shawl hair, a dignified and elegant figure, and wears a pearl-colored silk dress. She used to have a beautiful face that would make people feel gentle and intellectual, but her face was now tired and haggard, and she was holding the child in her arms and closing her eyes and praying.
And the boy she held in her arms had white blonde hair.
Because he is too young, his hair is still a little thin and fine, like the fine fluff of a milk cat and a dog.
He obviously didn't know what he was going to face, he just sat quietly and obediently in his mother's arms, his ocean-blue pupils open, and stared ahead in a daze.
Seeing "Ewas" looking over, the boy looked over with wide eyes.
"Daddy......"
He lowered his voice and whispered in a milky voice, "You're distracted, Daddy." Can't get distracted...... You said. ”
Ivus was a little confused. He just nodded hastily, and without answering little Ewas, he bowed his head and continued to pray.
That's when he really reacted.
1884......
- Wasn't that 14 years ago?
Eivers is eighteen years old, fourteen years ago when he was four. That was the year that both his parents died.
He was too young to remember why his parents died.
He didn't even remember his parents' faces, let alone their names. But in his vague memory, it seems that there was indeed such a scene......
He sat in his mother's arms, and in front of him were many dark figures like giant trees. People were chanting something, and they were a little feverish and dizzy...... I was also a little nauseous and wanted to throw up.
Julio ......
Is this my father's name?
It turned out that my mother's name was Anne...... I also have a cousin named Lisa.
Then, they were all killed.
- The voice said, "Didn't do what they said", what did they say?
Why didn't they kill "Julio", but "Aihuas"? But in real history, Ivas is fine, it is Julio and Anne who are dead - is there any difference here?
Although the apostle repeatedly insisted that the content of the ritual was fictional...... But how familiar is how Ivus looks.
For a moment, he couldn't tell what was real and what was fiction.
First of all, let's check it out...... Is his vague memory correct?
Thinking of this, Ivas turned his eyes back and looked at little Ivus, and asked in a low voice:
“…… Ivus, do you have a headache right now? ”
"Sort of, Daddy......"
The little boy answered obediently.
"What?"
Hearing this, his mother Anne was suddenly startled, opened her emerald green pupils, and hurriedly reached out to cover little Ewas's forehead, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"How?"
Eivas immediately came over.
Anne frowned, and put her hand on her forehead again.
She wasn't quite sure and said, "It seems to be ...... It's a little hot. But I'm not so sure ......."
"It's okay, let me do it."
Ivas said softly, taking his childhood self into his arms from Anne's arms.
He reached out and pressed little Ivace's heart.
- The Art of Illumination.
The next moment, a light as soft as water leached out of his palm. The power of warmth is constantly poured into the body of "Little Eivus".
Thankfully, they sat in the back and didn't disturb the others.
The moment he used the illumination, Ivus immediately realized...... The pool of mana he now uses is not his father's "Julio", but his own.
A priest should have completed at least the first level. It can't be just this pitiful five-point light attribute mana.
He poured a full bit of mana before he stopped his illumination technique.
Eivas's mood grew heavier.
Because he felt no traces of illness from Little Ewas.
If you were a different person, you might think that it was just a delusion on the part of little Ivus, or that the child didn't want to stay here, and said it casually.
But it was precisely because it was Ivas that he knew that "Little Ivus" not only did not talk nonsense...... On the contrary, it is very conservative.
He remembered.
At that time, my head was groggy, and it was as if something solid was hitting my skull. He was so hot that it was hard to breathe, and the breath he exhaled through his nose seemed to burn his nose. It's like being tightly rolled into a quilt and rolled into a solid quilt when you have a cold, and your heart is clear every time you shake, and you can reach your fingertips.
However, little Ivus was a very strong child.
He sensed that his parents were very anxious, so he did not speak out about the trouble he encountered, but endured it in silence.
Later, as a child, Eivus gradually lost consciousness.
Seeing this familiar scene, the memories in Aihuas's mind were gradually filled in repeatedly.
More and more details become clear:
He realized that the problem encountered by his "son" was definitely not simple. It can make people faint and lose consciousness, which is already a condition that can lead to death.
However, he really didn't find any disease in little Ivus......
"Isn't it sick?"
Seeing this, his wife Anne frowned with some worry.
She looked at her child and didn't know what to do.
I just fidgeted and came over, frowning and thinking, and proposed a possibility: "I'm thinking...... Is it possible that the person who sent you the threatening letter was actually using a curse? ”
Hear here.
There was a sudden pause in Ivus's movements.
He looked deeply at his wife, "Annie".
- Her perspective and stance are obviously wrong.
Ivas held little Ivas in his arms and buried his face in his chest.
Ivus then looked at "Annie" and leaned into her ear.
He spoke softly and whispered word by word, "I want to ...... You're 'Lulu', aren't you? ”
Seeing that Anne's emerald green pupils suddenly became flustered, the whole person sat up straight with her legs together for a moment, and her body subconsciously moved in the direction away from Ivus.
Ivas couldn't help but sigh, inexplicably feeling a sense of remorse for bullying a child.
…… That's a good guess.
At first glance, she is a girl who has never been a mother.
There are too many loopholes, right...... Aren't you the "all-rounder" of the path of beauty? Don't all-rounders learn acting?
But the other way around.
It was precisely because he easily dragged out "Lulu" by his side that he really realized that the ceremony had begun.
So he immediately cheered up.
Ivas didn't want to reveal that the child in his arms was his "self" when he was a child. Therefore, Ivas did not show the slightest anxiety and concern in his heart, but showed a confident and calm gentle smile.
With a slight force, he gently dragged "Annie", who subconsciously leaned back to avoid Ewass, back to his side.
"Don't move. If I'm right, your quest also has a 'role', right...... You're my wife now. ”
His deep and magnetic voice rang word by word in the ears of "Annie" with a panicked face:
"Don't be afraid, I'm a 'fox'.
"I don't think you chose to give up 'giving,' did you? I'll protect you. That's exactly what I'm doing. ”
…… One.
Ivas added in his heart.
