Mage Joan

Chapter 876: Holy Seal (Ⅰ)

"Teacher, which god does the 'Holy Mother' worshiped by the half-drows refer to?"

Joan couldn't help asking Professor Moriarty about the details of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady".

This is not purely out of curiosity, but also related to the mystery of his own life experience.

"Even Betty can't figure out this question, how can we outsiders know!" Professor Moriarty shrugged and spread his hands, "However, it is said that the 'Holy Mother' can bestow divine spells on half-drow priests who worship her. From this point of view, She has at least a 'half-god' level personality."

Joan nodded thoughtfully, frowning, lost in memory.

Of course he will not forget that his grandfather mentioned the title "The Virgin" many times before his death, and hinted that the tragedy of his family is closely related to this mysterious "The Virgin".

More than ten years ago, Grandpa and Joan's parents were probably entrusted by Sir Custis to track down a mysterious leader who claimed to be "The Virgin". Just when they found the key clue, a tragedy happened... …

Joan didn't know what happened that night, but the result was unforgettable.

That tragedy made him an orphan, and he was implanted with strange blood before he was born. The deformed eyeball behind his neck is the embodiment of this curse.

Long before meeting Ms. Betty, Joan had also come into contact with other people with similar strange bloodlines, such as Rebecca, but the other party's strange characteristics were different from his, so he didn't feel that they were closely related to each other. .

However, after seeing the deformed eyeball that was almost exactly the same as his own on the back of Ms. Betty's neck today, Joan suddenly realized that he was not special in this world.

Listening to what the instructor said, besides him and Ms. Betty, there are probably other "Holy Mother" believers who also have the same strange characteristics.

"When believers in the 'Our Lady' pray, they often say 'Our Lady is above' or 'Our Lady is Great'. Every time I hear them say that, I find it very funny."

Professor Moriarty drank his tea with a vaguely obscene smile on his face.

Joan looked at the mentor in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

He couldn't understand the funny words of the prayers "Above Our Lady" and "Immortal Mary", and he couldn't understand why the teacher laughed so obscenely.

Seeing his blank face, Professor Moriarty couldn't help laughing.

"Joan, for a simple boy like you, it's really hard to see the joke in these two prayers, but it's okay, I have another joke about the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady', which will definitely amuse you. "

"For example, if a father and son are members of the Fraternity of Notre Dame, then for the son—his father's father, his grandfather, that's fine."

Joan was stunned when he heard this, what kind of mess are these!

"Master, I don't understand what you mean"

"Hey... guess what?"

Professor Moriarty smiled wickedly.

Qiao An was affected by the instructor's smile, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Is...impossible? It's just crazy!"

"Tell me, what is it that makes you feel insane?" Professor Moriarty laughed even more wickedly.

Qiao An shook her head again and again, but she had the nerve to say it.

"I know what you're thinking, Joan, but unfortunately you're wrong. In fact, there is no ugly act that violates the principles of ethics."

Professor Moriarty, like a child who has succeeded in playing a prank, triumphantly solves the mystery.

"The believers in the Fraternity of Notre Dame regard the 'Mother' whom they worship as their true spiritual mother, and blood kinship takes a backseat. Therefore, as long as believers enter the Church of Our Lady, they have to put aside the secular According to the generational ethics, even father and son, mother and daughter, should be treated as brothers and sisters."

"So that's what happened."

Joan suddenly realized, and then became a little annoyed.

Professor Moriarty was clearly misleading him just now, otherwise he wouldn't think in a direction that violated ethics.

As a tutor, he actually made fun of his own students. I really don't know whether to say that he is still childlike or not serious!

Sighing helplessly, Qiao An brought the topic back on track.

"Mentor, you just said that the eyeball on the back of Ms. Betty's neck is the symbol of the Holy Mother's believers. Can you explain in detail how to get this symbol?"

"That kind of mark, to be precise, is called the 'Holy Seal', and it's not so easy to obtain." Professor Moriarty said lightly.

"The members of the Brotherhood of Notre Dame need to pass a series of tests to obtain the official status of 'religious member', and then they are eligible to enter the Cathedral and participate in the religious ceremony to worship the Virgin."

"I haven't participated in this kind of ceremony, but I heard from Betty privately that if the prayers of these believers in the world are devout enough, it is possible to move the spirit of the Virgin Mary in heaven."

"Occasionally, the Holy Mother will respond to the begging of believers, and come to her 'Godland on Earth', which is the Great Cathedral of 'Dawn City', to select believers with both piety and potential, and bestow these lucky ones with divine grace."

"These lucky ones, whether they were human, half-drow or any other race, will always get strange bloodlines after receiving the blessing of the Holy Mother. After a while, strange organs will grow on them, which is the so-called ' Holy seal' gone."

Joan listened to the instructor's narration and resisted the urge to stroke the back of her neck.

Before today, he had always regarded the eyeball on the back of his neck as a symbol of curse.

However, according to the instructor, it seems that only full-fledged members of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady" can obtain the same mark, and he also regards this as a blessing from an idol, not a curse as he originally thought.

If the facts are indeed as the teacher said, I have not joined the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", and I have no respect for the Virgin who killed my parents. What I have is only hatred and fear, why did I receive her "blessing"? ", was laid a "sacred seal" in the mother's womb?

Considering that her mentor has a very close relationship with the high-level members of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", Joan dare not confess to him that she also has a "sacred seal" similar to that of Ms. Betty on the back of her neck. Obtain the "Holy Seal".

Prompted by ambivalence, Joan asked another question.

"Teacher, from your point of view, the 'Holy Seal' seems to be more than the one with eyes behind the neck, is there other types?"

Joan's words are actually knowingly asking.

At least as far as he knew, Rebecca's mutated long hair was probably also a kind of "Holy Seal".
