Chapter 30: He Didn't Die
Chapter 30 He Didn't Die
"Found it?" After returning to the temple of the Holy Maiden, Sanliv's business for the day was over, and she deliberately pushed the others to let Gaia into her room.
"I came back with a lot of historical materials. Gaia took out the thick chronicles from the space bracelet, one by one, and there was still a little dust on them, apparently sealed for a long time.
After Gaia sorted them out, he opened the history of the sins of the Temple of Judgment, which recorded the mistakes of some of the people in power in the Temple of Rosa in the past twenty years, and Gaia directly looked at the reasons for their mistakes, and the history books recorded the reasons for the mistakes of some people, but also did not record the reasons for which they were punished.
According to the range given by Cérene, Gaia also quickly found several people in the Hall of Judgment who were very likely to give orders, including the presiding judge himself, who had been punished for major mistakes ten years ago, and three deputy judges, among whom were Lenny's name, a twenty-eight-year-old fellow who had molested a senior priestess ten years ago and was sentenced to a year of solitation.
"Who is Lenny, who asked you earlier and who is always pestering Mesa?" asked Gaia, who had committed such a crime in the temple for only a year, and it seemed that this person's status should not be low.
"He is the son of Bishop Pandeger, that is, Rodica's elder brother, and his fighting talent was originally surpassed by Rodica, but because of this person's bad character, the edge was gradually replaced by his younger brother. He was now a great sword master, and he was considered the strongest of the temple members under the age of thirty. Sanliv explained, frowning at Lenny's brow, and it seemed that she didn't like the guy too.
Gaia roughly estimated that if that guy was a great swordsman, he would probably only be around the first or second order, but with the addition of the God's contract, his strength might be increased by two more levels, then it would be equivalent to a third-order or fourth-order great swordsman, no wonder he would become a deputy judge at such a young age, it seems that he is indeed very powerful.
Although Lenny is only twenty-eight years old, he should not be the murderer who gave the order, but Gaia still lists him as an enemy, how can Gaia leave a person who has been trying to possess Mesa by despicable means in the temple, not to mention that he also knows the true cause of Rodica's death, so this person must also be eliminated.
In this way, Gaia has to think about who revealed this secret, excluding Mesa, Lucha and Daisy, and it should be Moore and Toby who will reveal the cause of Rodicca's death, Moll is an adventurer, and it seems that the three months of getting along should not be such a despicable villain, not to mention that he doesn't have much to do with the temple, and it is impossible to tell Lenny about it, and it should be Toby who will be revealed.
"But why did Toby only tell Lenny?" Gaia wondered again, and the only thing he could say could be Toby, but what Toby was going to say should have been told to everyone in the temple, why only that guy alone.
Gaia didn't think deeply about this either, and continued to look through the materials, recording all the people who might have committed crimes, and then finding out the real culprits one by one. Sanliv also knelt beside her, carefully transcribing the names of the suspects for Gaia.
"What the Pope told you before, about the destruction of the village of Matu. Gaia suddenly thought of this question and said to Sanliv.
"He told me that the village of Matu fell because you were a cult and they wanted to find you, so they used the slave beasts to find you, but because of the battle with the Rosa Temple, the slave beasts lost control and started killing the village...... Brother Gaia, I was worried that you would be regarded as a cultist by the temple, so I asked Meisa and Shad not to let you continue to pursue it. Sanliv said. Gaia was now calmer, and Sanrieve had a chance to explain to him, she didn't want Gaia to mistake her for being one of those hypocritical women.
"Meisha thinks I'm a cultist?" Gaia frowned. Gaia herself has not signed a contract with any gods, and if the Rosa Temple is to be strictly investigated, it can indeed be classified as a heretic, but Gaia has nothing to do with the cult, so how can it be a cultist.
Sanriv shook her head and explained, "I didn't tell her, but Shad knows that he was always on the lookout for you because he thought you were responsible for the destruction of Matu Village. ”
"Did you tell him the truth?" asked Gaia.
Sanliv shook her head timidly, fearing that if she said it, Shad would be very jealous of her.
"The presiding judge, the high priest, the bishop, all three of whom were punished ten years ago, write them down. Gaia didn't go any further, but continued to look for the man who gave the order.
Sanliv didn't know why Gaia didn't scold herself, so she had to carefully write down the names of the three people, and sneak a glance at Gaia from time to time, worried that he would be angry for her concealment.
"Princess Selene will be there in a few days, do you need to be there in the city of Zacharia?" asked Gaia, flipping through it.
"Well, a blessing to her. Sanrife nodded.
"When you give her a blessing, let her wrap herself in water magic, and I will take her away with a spatial bracelet, and then you pretend that the princess is not in there before you send her a blessing. Gaia said to her.
Shanliv looked a little surprised, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Brother Gaia doesn't want her to marry into the Tolan Empire, you can propose a marriage contract to Michael the Great afterwards, and Michael the Great should not refuse your request." ”
Gaia puffed her mouth bitterly, and instead of answering Sanrif's question, she said, "Just do as I say." ”
"Oh. Sanliv nodded, and asked no more.
After a night of research, Gaia finally narrowed down to ten people, all of whom were in power in the temple, each of whom had been punished ten years ago, but Gaia was not sure who had been punished for giving the order to slaughter the village, and now he could only pin his hopes on the information that Celine had received.
......
The day has come for a trip to the city of Zacharia, and for the sake of this foreign princess of the Empire, the entire city of Zacharia is decorated with glass lanterns, which are made of special magical materials and emit a light that looks so charming even in the daytime.
The path the princess was going to walk had been cleared several times, and the long red carpet that paved the wide street was lined with the most fragrant orchid of Zacharia, a noble and beautiful orchid that symbolized the beauty and nobility of the princess.
When the three hundred princess guards lined up around the princess's luxurious carriage and drove out of the imperial city, the magically embellished salute exploded in the sky above the city of Zacharia, and the people waiting on both sides of the road to see the princess of the empire also shouted, although they could only see a quiet and beautiful silhouette in the tent, but the beautiful lines and the corset skirt perfectly outlined the graceful figure of the princess, and in this haze, it expanded the space for their imagination.
The carriage pulled by the ten royal Pegasi was still moving slowly, and Celine, who was covered in a veil, tried to find Gaia through the translucent curtains, but Gaia did not wear the costume of the Captain of the Guards to guard her by her carriage today, but the Chief Priest Meisa sat in another workshop as an Imperial Magician.
"Are you really willing to marry into there?" a small window connected between the two workshops, and Misha didn't obey the rules of an imperial magician, but struck up a conversation with Celine.
"Of course not, Gaia, why didn't Gaia come?" asked Selene. Gaia didn't remind Celine not to tell Mesa about her return, she mistakenly thought that Gaia had already met Mesa, so she asked like this.
"Why do you knowingly ask?" Meisha said bitterly.
"I don't understand what you mean, did he ask me to tell you about those things, I have already found some information for him, maybe I can find the person who gave the order, you tell Gaia this, and tell him to take me out of the Imperial City quickly, and when the time is up, I will not want to leave." Selene said anxiously, it was only more than twenty days before she got married, and as time passed, the guards around her would become more stringent, and if Gaia didn't take action, it would be really difficult to recover.
Meisa's body trembled slightly, and from Selene's words, she could clearly hear the fact that Gaia was not dead, but how could this be, more than half a year had passed, and Meisha had gradually accepted the fact that Gaia was dead in pain.
"Say it......" Meisa didn't know how to answer Cerene, or maybe she had a little luck with Gaia's survival, hoping to get the truth from Celine's words that she couldn't even believe.
"The scope is narrowed down to the heads of the three temples, namely the bishop, the high priest, and the presiding judge, of which the high priest was demoted to the rank of ordinary priest, and the bishop and presiding judge were ...... ten years ago"
"Wait, did Gaia ask you to check this for him, before entering the Forbidden Land?" Mesa interrupted Cerene.
Selene's eyes swept over the bustling street outside, and she looked at Meisha with some confusion, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "A week ago, why, didn't he ask you to collect this information?"
Celine didn't see Gaia enter the ranks of the guards, so she naturally thought that Gaia was unwilling to reveal her identity, so she mistakenly thought that Meisha next to her was asked by Gaia to get this information, but now it seems that Meisha doesn't know about it at all.
"A week ago......! He's not dead!" Meisha trembled all over, her chest rising and falling violently with excitement, and she even spoke with a little trembling.
Selene felt inexplicable, looking at Mei Sha as if she had just learned the news, so she asked tentatively, "What did he say to you when he was in the Forbidden Crypt?"
This question was also a question that had plagued Celine for a long time, and she wondered why Gaia was willing to stay in the Forbidden Land of the Gods, just because he had the passionate heart to sacrifice for others, and in Celine's opinion, Gaia would never do such a thing for anyone else, only for Mesa.
Since it is for Mesa, what kind of emotion is Gaia, if it is just because of the close relationship with Mesa, Gaia has to make a choice in the end as a man, Selene can still accept it, but if it is because she loves Mesa deeply and does not want to see the person she loves suffer in the forbidden land and is willing to sacrifice, Celine's will be unbearable.
"He told me that he would leave the Forbidden Land in three days...... He's not dead, is he, he's already back!" Mesa could feel her heart beating, and the figure of the Templar suddenly floated through her mind, and her body trembled again.
"Meisha, I asked you a question, and after you answered seriously, I was telling you about his situation. Celine bit her lip and seemed to have made up her mind before asking.
Meisha nodded without hesitation, and the heart that had been frozen for a long time melted again, and at this time there was already a glittering flash in her eyes.
"Is it because he loves you so much that he is willing to suffer death for you to stay in the dark cave for you?" said Selene's voice, but every word was clear.
These words hit Meisha's heart, how could Gaia's heart Meisha not understand, those indifferent eyes only when looking at her, will reveal infinite love, in the more than a month when everyone is trapped in the dark hole, Gaia will always be in a trance, and it is precisely because it is difficult for even himself to make the final choice, and making a decision means eternal separation.
If before entering the Forbidden Land of the Gods, Meisa had always thought that Gaia's love for her was just a kind of confused emotion that crossed the affection of her sister and brother, then the bloody battle and the final choice in the Forbidden Land of the Gods made Meisa feel that his love was quite mature, and this feeling could only be captured by Meisa in the vicissitudes of life like her father.
"Well, he told me the only lie, and this lie ......," Misha nodded solemnly.
"This lie proves that his love for you is the truest ......" Selene said Mesa's hesitant words with a bit of self-deprecation, and at this moment she could feel the bitter water in her belly tumbling violently.
Meisha nodded undeniably again, seeing Celine's dejected look, Meisha could also guess the princess's thoughts, although she wanted to say something to Celine, but now she wanted to know more about Gaia's situation: "Celine, Gaia...... He's not dead, is he?
Selene's eyes gloomily looked at the noisy people outside, those who cheered for her, and suddenly felt that she was so ridiculous that she couldn't even listen to Meisa's question.
"Céline?" Mesa was very anxious, but seeing that the carriage was about to enter the square, she had to leave the carriage at that time, and she had to know what was going on with Gaia at once.
"He didn't die, he came to me a week...... In the temple, he searched for the true culprit who destroyed the village of Matu. When Mesa had to leave, Selene finally spoke, and after saying this, she was completely immersed, and her bright eyes became extremely empty......
