Chapter 1526 Simple and Easy to Understand Answer

Under the continuous adjustment of the Theocracy Council and the strong management of the Cecil Empire, the clergy in this city are now used (or have to get used to) some things that seemed unbelievable in the past, such as various churches The "church area" where the temple is centrally set up and managed uniformly, such as the law that "no priest is allowed to convey the oracle without the approval of the Supreme Government Office", and...

The two powerful leaders of the Church of the Holy Light went to the church of the God of Commerce to "drop in" on it.

As the "first sect" with the strongest influence and power in the Cecil Empire, and also as the "progressive sect" among all sects that carried out system reforms and most actively supported the New Deal of the Empire, the Church of the Holy Light has always been a member of the Theocratic Council. The monks and nuns trained by Wright and Veronica are an important source of talent for the Theocracy Council - after all, the Council is an organization that needs to deal with religion. In addition to posts, it also needs a large number of professional theologians who truly understand religion, and in this regard, the most trustworthy one is the Holy Light Church, which has undergone a deep transformation.

With such a relationship, the Church of the Holy Light has actually become the "state religion" of the Cecil Empire in a sense, and it is also the "model unit" officially certified by the Theocratic Council, although Gawain has always insisted on one line, that is, "do not Recognize any religion as the state religion of the empire", but after all, he needs an obedient "representative" to help manage the various sects in the empire. The Church of the Holy Light is his natural choice, and Wright and Veronica are reliable His followers responded well to his expectations.

They have won the common respect of many church administrators in this city with their outstanding personal ability and personality charm, and maintained a delicate balance and stability in the intricate power relations in the church district. It is especially difficult to promote unimpededness among the major churches while minimizing resistance from all sides.

With the theocratic council and the imperial family as the background, it is not difficult for Wright and Veronica to step into the churches of other gods, but when they step into this church, they must be accepted by the archbishop of the god of commerce, even Showing a relieved expression, this is enough to explain a lot of problems.

The heavy wooden door in the side hall was opened again, Wright in plain robes and Veronica holding a platinum scepter appeared in front of Gawain, the two stepped forward to salute, and then Wright frowned and looked around the room After a moment, he shook his head: "It was seriously damaged...but there is no supernatural power left."

"We've already confirmed this. All that's left on the scene are purely physical traces of destruction, which is actually a good thing," Gao Wen nodded, "There is no remaining divine spirit, which means that the state of the corresponding god is still very stable, at least not going crazy and out of control. symptoms, these disruptions may have been a simple outburst of energy or some kind of...signaling."

Veronica nodded slightly, then looked at Archbishop Boris standing aside: "Your Excellency,

Can we take a look in the side hall? "

"Of course," Boris, who was slightly fatter, nodded immediately. He knew that the "Saint Princess" in front of him was dealing with the matter in the name of the Theocracy Council, and had the emperor's on-site endorsement. No pressure, "We have sealed off the entire corridor area since the vision occurred, and the scene here is still in its original state."

"Very good," Veronica nodded, and then thought for a while, "In addition... there is a slightly presumptuous request——Your Excellency Boris, can you temporarily avoid it?"

This request was obviously a bit beyond the other party's expectations, and even a person like Boris, who has always been kind, couldn't help but feel a little bit weird at the moment: "This... I need a reason, Your Highness Veronica, after all, is the sanctuary of our Lord."

"This is out of respect for the gods and considering your own safety," Veronica looked into Boris' eyes solemnly, and asked the archbishop of the God of Commerce to avoid him in the Church of the God of Commerce. This request certainly sounds a bit unreasonable, but she has a good reason, "We now suspect that the state of the Divine Kingdom of the Gods is abnormal, and the next investigation is very likely to touch the 'secret' in this regard, you are the God of Commerce A devout believer, it is precisely because of this relationship that it is necessary for you to keep avoiding in the follow-up investigation."

Archbishop Boris' expression suddenly changed slightly.

For ordinary middle- and lower-level priests, belief may be a simple and pure thing. They know very few secrets, so they can accept the will of God more undividedly. However, a high-level priest like him cannot embrace it so purely. own beliefs. Since the establishment of the Theocracy Council, high-level priests like him are obliged to receive a certain degree of "training" to understand the knowledge of thoughts and gods within a safe range. This training process has screened out a large number of people who cannot meet the standards "Conservative priests" who pass the screening, such as "progressives" like Boris, must always keep in mind certain norms and "taboos" throughout their lives as priests.

"Keep a distance from your god, distance will protect your sanity," Wright broke the silence with a low voice beside him. This two-meter-tall man looked quite oppressive when standing in front of Boris, but his The tone is gentle and the smile is warm, and the words are very convincing, "What worship needs is isolation, and 'understanding' is a sharp weapon to pierce faith. Your Excellency Boris, unless you are ready to face the last test Be mentally prepared, otherwise it is best not to be curious about our investigative process."

"...I see." Boris' face changed twice. Of course, he could understand the deep meaning of Wright's words, and as a sensible person with flexible and pious standards, he only needed two seconds to weigh it. Correct conclusion, "I'll be waiting outside, please call me if you need anything."

After finishing speaking, the archbishop turned around and left the side hall. At this time, Amber finally seized the opportunity to ask Wright: "What do you mean by what you just said? You are going around..."

Wright opened his mouth, but before he could figure out how to answer, Gawain spoke next to him: "It means that we suspect that Bofal was attacked by Ms. Ye, and it is very likely that we will investigate something more impactful later. Well, a pious believer may not be able to stand this stimulus, considering the face of the god of business, the face of the business sect, and the mind of Archbishop Boris, he'd better stop watching here."

"Oh, I understand now that you said it that way," Amber waved her hands immediately after hearing this easy-to-understand explanation, "Just let the family members avoid it during the autopsy, for fear that they won't be able to bear the excitement..."

Veronica looked back and forth between Gawain and Amber several times with weird eyes, and finally couldn't help frowning: "Sometimes I really wonder how the two of you usually communicate."

"It's not easy for the majestic 'Ophelia Norton' to make such an exclamation," Gawain couldn't help laughing, and then waved his hands, "Let's not talk about this, let's see what else is valuable here clues. Veronica, you are an expert in the field of gods, can you see anything?"

Veronica didn't say anything, she just took the platinum scepter and went around the entire side hall first, and after taking all the traces here into her eyes, she came to the end of the side hall thoughtfully, raised her head and looked at The "icon" placed here.

The icon of Bofar, the god of commerce, stands quietly here, on the top of a platform carved out of granite. His image in the world is a middle-aged man with a peaceful face, wearing gorgeous robes, In his hand, he holds gold coins and balances that symbolize wealth and trade.

Like other churches in Loren (except for the Holy Light, which has been deeply reformed and abandoned idolatry), the followers of the God of Commerce have used their craftsmanship to create an image of their god, so that this icon appears lifelike , with a certain indescribably calm majestic aura-of course, this majestic aura probably also has something to do with the luminous runes around the icon...

Veronica just stood quietly at the foot of the icon, looking up at the god. As the leader of the rebels, of course she didn't have any sense of awe when she looked at the icon, and she was just calm and as a researcher. The color of exploration.

"This is the icon of Boval. For thousands of years, mortals have used this image to describe the God of Commerce in their hearts, so this must be what He really looks like in the Kingdom of God..." Gawain came to Veronie Beside Ka, he looked up at the sculpture and said casually, "Is there anything wrong with this icon?"

"There is nothing wrong with the icon itself, but the icon in the cathedral often has a real mapping relationship with the corresponding god, so generally speaking, when there are visions around the icon, the clues will often appear on the icon , "Veronica replied softly, the face of her body was full of thought, and in the remote hinterland of Gondor, deep underground in the Tarash Plain, her huge server array as the main body has also been dedicated He pulled out a thread to deal with this small matter in front of him, "But it's very strange... There are no abnormal cracks on the icon, no signs of ablation or deformation, and there is nothing abnormal about Bouvard's face."

"This shows that although the vision happened around the icon, it was not initiated by the 'owner' of the icon. At least the force that caused serious damage in the side hall was not released through the medium of the icon," said Lai on the side. Featured nodded, part of his knowledge in this area was obtained from Veronica, and the other part came from recent research by the Theocratic Council, "The traces in this hall may indeed be a signal, but they are not Unleashed to us by Bouvard, the god of commerce."

"Then Ms. Ye," Hu Po said casually, but her eyes fell on the large and small cracks in the surrounding ground, "Unfortunately, this signal is too abstract, who can understand this mess... If it is really impossible , let’s print all the traces here, and find a few experts in linguistics and cryptography to spell it out later?”

"Don't be so troublesome," Veronica shook her head, "I've already started modeling."

"Huh?" Amber was taken aback, "Modeling? What model?"

Veronica did not explain, after all, it was difficult for her to explain to a layman how the calculation array left over from the Gondor era constructed and simulated complex geometric deformations—she had just put all the Scanned all the traces into my mind, and transmitted these data to the Ophelia Matrix located underground in the Deep Blue Well, and now this huge graphic data is being spliced ​​and reorganized in the matrix in an attempt to construct a meaningful pattern , this process is similar to Amber's suggestion, but the efficiency is obviously higher.

Gao Wen probably guessed what Veronica was doing, he waited patiently, and after a while he couldn't help asking: "Is there any result?"

"Not yet, I tried to piece together words or hieroglyphs from these traces, but..." Veronica shook her head, but she stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, and then her face became very weird , "Ah this..."

The corners of her mouth trembled, her neck stiffened and she turned her head away, her eyes fell on the icon of the god of commerce, Boval, and then the corners of her mouth trembled again.

Gao Wen hadn't seen such a human look on the face of this "Saint Princess" for so many years!

He and Amber said in unison: "What did you find?"

"Perhaps...the answer is simpler than we imagined," Veronica casually sketched in the nearby air, and the holy light floating around her then gathered at her fingertips, and quickly condensed in mid-air, The three-dimensional model of the dents on the floor of the side hall was combined, "the result is simple and intuitive-but it is in the blind spot of everyone's thinking."

Amber blinked and looked at the holy light projection created by Veronica, but couldn't understand it for a long time: "Who knows what you said, isn't this thing just... huh?"

She suddenly understood, and Gao Wen beside him also understood.

"This is Boval's face," Gawain twitched the corners of his mouth, he couldn't believe what he saw, "a face as big as this side hall, it was completely slapped on the ground..."

This is really a simple and intuitive result, but even a hunk like Wright can't help but look surprised in front of this result: "So the mess in the whole room is actually a face that was slapped on the ground?! Wait, Although they do look similar, there seem to be many differences in the details, such as..."

"That's not the difference, it's just being punched crookedly. Do you recall whether the face under your fist looks like this?" Gao Wen couldn't help but covered half of his face. He thought he had seen a lot after so many years since he opened the coffin. He has extensive knowledge and can do things in front of the landslide without changing his face, but now he realizes that a hidden ancient god may be a powerful character far beyond his imagination. What came to mind, "However, there is a broken dent next to this face, which looks a bit incomprehensible..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Amber coughed dryly twice: "Ahem, I might know what this is."

Gawain glanced at this guy in surprise, and then he saw the guy paw twice in the air, and pulled out a short staff from a shadowy crack. Split structure, half black and half white, like a double-headed war hammer.

Amber waved this copycat shadow scepter twice in the air, gesturing at the illusion of holy light that Veronica cast in the air: "Look at this sap, the end of the hammer hit the ground, right? Just this shape?"

"You said it was a 'sap' just now!" Gao Wen blurted out, "This thing is clearly a scepter..."

Hu Po was plausible: "Do you think Ms. Ye has used this thing to do even a little bit of what a scepter should do!?"
