Chapter 31 Never be disappointed
After repeatedly believing that Wright didn't want the money, the Pope gave the Holy Light Library a few more prohibitions, and then led them downstairs.
When Joanna fell into a deep slumber, she was placed on the top floor of the Holy Tower in the Pope's Palace, which has the tallest altar in the world and is known as the closest place to God.
The stairs were very long, and Wright took advantage of the time to climb the tower and gave a detailed report to his teacher about the witch's information.
The Pope also lamented when he heard this, and looked at Emily with a gaze full of the care of the elders.
"Son, you're suffering."
He looked at Wright again, "According to what you say, it can basically be concluded that Joanna's child is also one of the seven witches. ”
"I have a question about that, I'm too embarrassed to ask Taylor, but you should know. Joanna and Taylor, are they siblings? ”
"It's not...... In fact, Joanna is an orphan. Her father was a comrade-in-arms with me and Taylor's father.
Joanna's mother did die after giving birth to her, and when she was older, her father died fighting for the Holy See.
Taylor's father adopted her and has remained until now. ”
Wright sighed a little distressedly: "That's basically decided." ”
The Pope hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good ideas, kid?" ”
Leta pondered for a moment: "I have prepared three methods, which are divided into three strategies: upper, middle and lower.
The best strategy is to find a way to figure out how the witch's curse works, and then dismantle it like a bomb.
Since it's man-made, there's no reason we can't crack it.
What's more, we also have a witch by our side to help.
Right, Emily? ”
Emily seemed to have something on her mind and didn't respond to Wright.
Wright didn't mind either, and continued to explain: "The middle strategy is to ask the Holy Light Goddess for help in the name of the Holy See.
It's not that she can wake people up, as long as she can make sure that Joanna's soul can be saved in times of crisis.
As long as the soul is saved, everything else is easy to deal with. ”
"What's next?"
"The next step...... It is to prepare the demon world, and in case of emergency, directly let Joanna ascend to the demon!
In this way, the soul will be mutated and reorganized, but the self-consciousness can be preserved.
This method can be said to ensure 100% freedom from the curse, so that no curse will be invalidated due to the reorganization of the soul.
But...... Joanna was so devout to the Light. Letting her ascend to the demon realm is even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Therefore, it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. ”
Wright took a deep breath: "Please rest assured, no matter what the middle strategy is or the next strategy, it is just a support." I'm sure I'll follow through to the end! ”
The Pope nodded affirmatively, pointing to the door at the end of the stairs.
"That's it ahead."
As the door to the tallest room of the tower was pushed open, a large bed with a veil was revealed. Behind the bed is an altar with holy water flowing and a huge statue of the goddess of light.
The Pope patted Wright on the back, "Go see her." ”
Wright didn't speak, but the gradually quickening pace still exposed his heart.
Behind the veil, a beautiful girl lay quietly.
Her silver-white hair is still so smooth, and her delicate face is still so beautiful and moving.
Wright put his hand on Joanna's wrist and looked at each other quietly.
The signs of life are steady, the complexion is ruddy, and the skin is radiant. It was as if she was asleep, waiting for her beloved to wake her up with a kiss.
But Wright knew that by waking her up without figuring out the specific mechanism of the witch's curse, he was not saving her, but putting her in a more dangerous situation.
"You said you ...... Can't you run? Life and death matters, how can you not know how to work around at a glance?
On weekdays, I know to discipline me, this is not good, that is not allowed.
Honest, right?
By the way, the matter of secretly remodeling my house is not over yet. When I'm done with everything, you'll have to write me a review.
More than 800 words, not counting punctuation, except for poetry and prose, the subject matter is not limited.
Also, I originally prepared a gift for you...... I'll give it to you when you wake up. ”
Wright stood there and looked at it for a few more moments, then turned and walked back.
When he came to the Pope, he found that there was one person missing.
"Where's Emily?"
Lilith pointed out the door: "She just said that she was a little uncomfortable, go out and breathe." ”
"I'd like her to help me feel it out and see if there's anything new. Wait a minute, I'll look for her. ”
Wright walked briskly to the door, where she saw Emily sitting on the steps sobbing.
"Emily, what's wrong with you?"
Wright sat next to her: "What are you crying about?" ”
Emily wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's nothing...... I am...... I missed my mom. ”
Wright immediately understood that it should be that when he had just talked to the Pope about Joanna's background, it aroused Emily's thoughts.
For a moment, Wright didn't know how to persuade the other party.
"Wright, you must, you can't let down Joanna, understand?"
"Huh?"
"You know what? Joanna, she probably knew about the witch's curse before. ”
"Wait! Slow down, I'm a little out of your pace! How do you know? ”
Emily punched Wright indignantly, "Why are you men so stupid in this regard!" ”
Looking at Wright, who looked dazed, Emily lowered her head and her voice was a little hoarse.
"I didn't see my mom, I only had a half-knitted blanket, and it was extra warm and cozy.
My father said that my mother had woven it by hand. I especially liked to cry when I was a child. But just by putting the blanket next to me, I'll soon calm down......
My mother is a real aristocratic lady! But in order to make the blanket by herself, she deliberately followed the maid to learn from scratch. ”
At this point, Emily's voice choked a little, and she calmed down a little.
"I also recently learned about the witch's curse, and I just figured out something.
I was thinking that although my mother didn't know about the curse, she must have sensed something.
That's why she dragged her weaker and weaker body to learn knitting, in order to leave something for me. ”
Wright looked at the grieving Emily and felt her mind go blank with a thud.
Emily took a deep breath and said faintly, "I think, Miss Joanna, must know something about witches."
That's why she's going to prepare four cribs, and like the Knight Chief said, she wishes she could give you a quadruplet, because she really only has one chance.
She knows that she will not be able to accompany you in the future, so she has prepared the clothes for the children from childhood to adulthood.
She knew her ending, so she wanted to do what she wanted to do before the ending.
For example, a grand wedding, such as a warm wedding room.
I don't know what kind of mood she had in mind when she prepared these things.
At least, on that wedding portrait, she is smiling happily, and she wants you to be as happy.
Wright, she didn't want to be with you for some salvation.
She really likes you so much that she wants to marry you.
Wright, love is something that a witch can give with all her talents.
Don't let her down, okay? ”
Wright sat there blankly, unable to return to his senses for a long time. He stretched out his hand blankly, but couldn't find anything to grasp.
After a long time, he slowly stood up and walked to the large bed in the center of the room without saying a word.
Looking at that familiar face again, what Wright had in mind was completely different.
He reached out and stroked Joanna's cheek, then circled to the altar and poured the light into the holy water.
The Pope, fearing him, kept following him. When he saw him activate the altar, he was shocked.
"Wright! What are you doing! ”
He was about to step forward, but Lilith stopped his way.
"Lilith, get out of the way! I'm afraid he'll do something stupid! ”
"Don't worry, teacher."
Wright didn't look back, but his tone was clear and firm: "I know what I'm doing, and I know what I'm supposed to do." ”
As the holy water completely turned golden, a pillar of light shot out from the holy tower, reaching straight into the sky.
In the holy white light, the idol of the goddess of holy light came to life. She looked at Wright in front of the altar and was amazed.
"Oh? You, on your own initiative, summoned me to come? ”
"Afra, is that deal you proposed three years ago still valid?"
The Holy Light Goddess suddenly became excited: "Of course, you finally figured it out?" ”
Wright nodded solemnly: "I promise you a deal, but the reward will be exchanged......"
