Chapter 106: Picking
"Who are you?"
"I'm you?"
Through Beiruguet's introduction, Pang Xie finally confirmed that the woman who appeared in Lucy Li's dream was Elizabeth, and he remembered this dialogue again.
Even for cultivators, this sentence is not easy to understand, how can two characters who have not intersected at all after a hundred years be the same person?
The shortest and crude explanation is, of course, the reincarnation of Elizabeth's soul and the transformation of Lucy Li, but this explanation is too simple to explain many problems.
First of all, Elizabeth was a believer in the Radiant Church, and later became a vampire, whether it is the Radiant Church or a vampire, there is no such thing as soul reincarnation, all believers will enter the kingdom of God after death, the difference is that the virtuous go to heaven, the evil ones fall to hell, and the mediocre people in between go to purgatory to cleanse themselves of their sins.
Secondly, even according to the Shenzhou Continent, it is really reincarnation, but the law of the six reincarnations, after reincarnation, they will forget the past, even if they are successful in cultivation, they can not keep much memory, and every time they are reincarnated, they will forget a part, from the time Elizabeth lived to today, it has been more than 800 years, I don't know how many times I have been reincarnated in the middle, and the possibility of retaining memories is extremely small.
Finally, and the most direct evidence, just a few decades ago, the disciples of the Shangqing faction were still fighting with Countess Elizabeth in the secret realm of the ancient castle, and they have been paying attention to the movements of the ancient castle all these years, how could they not know anything about the reincarnation of Countess Elizabeth?
"What the hell is going on here?"
Pang Xie vaguely felt that this dialogue was a key part of the whole thing, and if he could crack this dialogue, the other secrets of the Castle Secret Realm would be solved.
Just as the thought was spinning in his mind, the others gradually recovered from the shock.
"Hey, old sir, I seem to have heard just now that the Glorious Curia didn't kill Bloody Mary, but imprisoned her for life? When was the Inquisition so merciful?"
Dean asked, his professionalism as a professional witcher was unquestionable, and he asked the key question in one sentence.
Beruget looked at him deeply and said, "You are very good, I just said that there is a problem, we are not imprisoning her, but besieging her, besieging her in this ancient castle, at that time, we were not capable of killing her. ”
"Oh, what else can't be done by the glorious Holy See in the Middle Ages?" exclaimed Dean.
We are not the Lord Almighty, but the Shepherds of the Lord on earth, and there are too many things we cannot do. After Elizabeth became a believer in darkness, she received the gift of darkness and possessed great power, which was not so easy to kill. We were not strong enough at the time, most of our forces were engaged in the Mesopotamian War, and the Bartories were not strong enough to destroy her. ”
"As for what happened later, this world has changed a lot, the Radiant Holy See has completely shrunk, and there is no strength to come here to besiege her. Berugette said.
"Oh, I see, wait, Elizabeth has the power of darkness, you have been besieging her and have not been able to kill her, if that is the case, she may still be alive today, in this castle!" Dean suddenly reacted, and his words made clear of Berugut's unfinished meaning.
As soon as he said that, Mr. Pierre's face suddenly changed, and even the coffee in his hand spilled out.
Li Yuling suddenly felt that her body was cold, and her face became pale, and the faces of the housekeepers and other waiters serving on the side also changed rapidly.
Even Sam was taken aback and couldn't help but look up.
Of the people present, only Ponsei and Beruguet had already known about it, and their faces did not change.
......
"You are right, Mr. Dean, that Elizabeth is indeed alive, in the midst of this castle. After a few seconds of silence, Berugette said solemnly.
Pang Xie couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect Beruguet to deny it, so he told the truth directly.
He immediately reacted that in the Shenzhou Continent, cultivators believed in the place of retreat and inaction, and they had been separated from the world for a long time, and they did not understand each other, so they were extremely low-key when walking in the world.
But this is not the case in the continent of Europa, the Radiant Holy See ****, who has ruled this continent for thousands of years, whether it is a king who has opened up a territory, a powerful nobleman, a fearless warrior, a wealthy businessman, or a wizard hidden in the dark, witches and other supernatural powers, they can only tremble under the supreme power of the Radiant Church.
For hundreds of years, although the influence of the Radiant Sect on the secular realm has gradually declined due to the decline of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the supernatural realm has gradually declined, but under the accumulated power of thousands of years, no one on this continent dares to face the Radiant Sect's footsteps.
Therefore, whatever opinion or suspicion Beiruguet has in his heart, no matter who he faces, he can say it directly, without any cover-up.
"Dear Monsieur Beruguet, you must be joking, aren't you? How can there be ...... in this world?" Mr. Pierre's face changed several times in succession, and finally he did not finish the sentence.
He did not directly deny the existence of supernatural abilities, as the world's top richest man, a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, unlike ordinary people, he has personally felt the power of the supernatural world and knows that this legendary thing really exists.
But he couldn't believe that he was in the same castle with Bloody Mary these days!
"Of course, I'm not kidding, it's because Elizabeth is still alive that the Holy See has been keeping an eye on the castle until January, when I notice that something has changed. ”
"By the way, in the records of the church, this castle has been hidden in a secret realm through some kind of dark ritual since Elizabeth took over, and ordinary people cannot find it, and in the records of the church, there is no such thing as the Pierre family buying the castle, and besides, in the past year, the clergy who monitored the castle have not seen anyone appear here, including the expert group and the construction workers you mentioned, and no one even knows when you came to the castle. Berugette said.
"This ...... This...... How is that possible?" Mr. Pierre was in a hurry, and hurriedly turned to the butler and said, "You immediately contact the expert group, as well as the person in charge of repairing here, and ask them what the hell is going on!"
The housekeeper's face was already pale, and he hurriedly said, "I'll contact you!"
"This can't be, this can't be!" said Monsieur Pierre, who stood up, visibly distracted, as he walked up and down the dining room, repeating these two words over and over again.
Beruguet did not speak, but just sat there quietly, waiting for the results of the butler's investigation.
"Wait, that's not right, Mr. Berugut, you may be misremembered, or you are in the wrong place!"
Monsieur Pierre seemed to remember something, and his emotions suddenly became excited, as if a dying man had grasped a life-saving straw, and said: "Monsieur Beruguet, as soon as I finished repairing this castle, I sent a letter to my father's friends and invited them to come here, and they all agreed, and told me that when they were young, they used to meet with my father here, and they remember it very well!"
"Really, who are they?" asked Berugette quietly.
They are Mr. Douglas, professor of biology at the University of Cambridge and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology, Mr. Davies, former head of the Royal Police Training Centre of the Commonwealth, Scotland Field, Mr. Auf, a veteran member of the Labour Party who was the Minister of State for Employment and Pensions, Miss Ettel, a well-known philanthropist, and Mr. Rabelais, the president of the Milan football club. They were old acquaintances with my grandfather and father, and they used to meet every few years, and they all remember it, and I don't think they're all lying, right?" explained Mr. Pierre, excitedly.
"It's them, I never found out that the Pierre family had dealings with them. Beruget had a heavy expression on his face.
"Is there any problem?" asked Mr. Pierre.
"Of course no problem!"
A rough voice came from outside the door, and then several old men with gray hair came in succession, including an old woman and four old gentlemen who looked respectful.
"Don't think too much about it, boy, teaching these people just likes to pretend to be ghosts, and the ultimate goal is just to knock out enough money out of your pocket!"
The old man who spoke was not tall, he could even be said to be very short, but his voice was very loud.
The moment he saw these people, Pang Xie's face couldn't help but change, although the appearance of these people had changed due to the change in age, but he could see that the appearance of these five people was almost exactly the same as the five monsters that appeared in Li Yuling's dream!
