Chapter 519 The Book of Candles
Inside the mountain, candles are lit one by one, illuminating the small compartments in the mountain wall, which contain small statues and slates.
The passage below was also excavated in this hard rock. When I touched these blue-colored stone walls, a cold feeling spread into the palm of my hand.
"Let's all stay here for now, the church will arrange a new residence in two days."
Ingrid said so, and brought several students to a door. As a church member from the Holy Land, she is now the link between these exchange students and the church.
"This place was originally a place for ascetic monks to live. There are not many facilities, but fortunately, it is very clean and tidy, with little dust, and you can sleep with a little cleaning. The only drawback is that it may be cold at night."
"After all, we are in the mountain, just like in the cellar."
Everyone chose their own rooms, put their things away, and before they lay down for a long time, Ingrid asked everyone to go to dinner.
Compared with Emenas's extremely rich food, the food here is extremely simple. A cup of water, boiled rotten wheat porridge, there is nothing else.
On the first day they came to the sanctuary, these students felt the simple style here.
After a simple meal, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.
-------
Loren Hill sat beside the bed, looking at the interior of the room illuminated by candles.
The surrounding walls and ceilings are all stone, with marks similar to those cut by knives and axes, and the cut surfaces are smooth and a light blue color.
Except for the bed, small table, and wooden chairs, there is no other furnishings in the room, which is extremely simple.
He pulled up the slightly cold quilt and fell asleep, and after a while, Roland Hill got out of the quilt again. She stretched out her hand, and a pale golden mask spread out, covering the bed, and the temperature inside also rose a few degrees.
As an angel sequence that is good at protection and healing, such spells will be taught in the third-year academy, and it is not difficult.
After the display, the girl returned to the quilt and fell asleep with peace of mind to spend the cold night.
the next morning.
With the shaking of a bell outside the room, everyone was awakened by Ingrid.
They opened their sullen eyes, got dressed, walked out of the room, and came to the outside of the palace in the mountain, only to find that the sky was not yet fully bright, and only a little white appeared in the sky.
"Let's go for a morning run with me, this is the tradition of the Sanctuary." Ingrid waved her arms, causing several students to groan.
"Haha, don't be so discouraged, everyone will get used to it sooner or later, after all, there is still a year." Ingrid said terrifying words in a plain tone.
Everyone trotted on the mountain road around the palace, and two meters away was the huge valley crack that looked like an abyss, making ordinary people's legs and feet weak.
Although compared to ordinary people, these students are all extraordinary, but some of them are also guilty, and try to run on the inside to avoid the dangerous edge.
If a stone rolls off the edge of the mountain road, at such a high distance, I am afraid that the echo below will not be heard.
After the morning run, Ingrid took her classmates back to the palace in the mountain, and then took out a stack of slightly old books for everyone to read.
"These are the classics that the church promotes and preaches to the outside world. You can take a look. Maybe it's not the same as what we learned in school." She opened the book. number, so it is not impossible to understand what it means.
Several students took the books and walked to the side to flip through them.
Roland Hill also held a book as thick as a dictionary, sitting on the row of chairs in this hall, slowly flipping through it.
Compared with some objective descriptions of the academy, these scriptures are full of stories about the causes and processes of the Chaos Calamity, and one of the characters is more vivid.
However, this also leads to a considerable deviation in its authenticity. Let Roland Hill evaluate it. That is the difference between "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms". Some characters and processes have been slightly changed to make it more vivid.
The former is a household name, the latter is a slightly boring historical record.
"Book of Candles, Volume 2, Section 8":
When the shadow of sin was raised in the land, three rays of light came down from the sky.
That light, like a living thing, made a sound.
Its voice was like singing and like praying, so seven thousand five hundred and twenty-six messengers with wings on their backs came into the world.
This is the messenger of the Gospel to transport you.
....
So the blessed ones who follow the light also become messengers.
They hold sharp swords, the sharpness of their blades can slay the vicious snakes in their hearts, and the scorching heat of their swords can burn the twisted shadows of the world.
....
"Book of Candles, Volume 5, Section 4":
At that time, the fiery light with six wings on its back stood high above the vortex abyss.
This darling of kindness and beauty, holding a red spear in his left hand and a white-flamed snake sword in his right, led 3,469 angels, 47,955 holy flame knights, 22,000 One thousand three hundred and forty-seven priests of prayer, one hundred and eighty thousand two hundred and sixty four Crusaders, and two hundred and fifty thousand United Salvation Army.
Go deep into the hell of the abyss, and fight to the death with 114,667 evil shadows and 375,129 filthy bodies.
......
"Book of Candles, Volume 7, Section 6":
......
The fire of the sky falls, the abyss of the earth is bridged, the light
After exhausting his strength, his wings fell like ashes of burning embers.
Weeping for it all my life, tears pooling in rivers that flow down from the top of the mountain of sighs.
The remains and blood on the ground melted into the river, turning into a blood-red river, scouring the bitter earth.
At this time, a tear also fell from the light and fell into the river.
Then the water of the river was clear, and the light became a statue of sacrifice.
......
The girl slowly turned the pages of the book. Although it was slightly different from the records in the academy, this book described the war that swept the world in a more vivid way.
After the disaster of chaos, many races completely disappeared in the eyes of the world, such as the vast branch of the orcs in the sea, the orca clan that once dominated the Seven Seas, the last clan of giants, the mermaid clan in the sea, and even the phoenix witch of the Eastern Continent. , also fell.
The world has been pushed all over again, and the cards have been shuffled again. After nearly a hundred years of recuperation, large and small countries have risen, and then there is the legend of Roland, Yalin, and the twin princes.
After flipping through the classics, she raised her head and was slightly in a daze, sorting out the information she had just read.
Ingrid came over and sat beside Rosie.
"How do you feel after watching it?"
"It's wonderful, but the description of Chaos Phantom is different from that in the academy," the girl said.
"The chaotic phantoms described in these classics are the gathering of the evil thoughts of living beings, and the individuals corrupted by them are called filthy bodies. In fact, the chaotic phantoms have little to do with evil. Twisted by some instinct..."
"I understand what you mean, Rosie, but it is difficult for the general public to understand the complex words and phrases. When disseminating it, they must use a brief and easy-to-understand description, although this is not necessarily true."
"I see." The silver-haired girl is not the kind of person who is deadly, and she is also aware of the difficulty of popularizing some things to the majority of people who are illiterate.
"However, this book is more similar to a story. Are there books with more detailed descriptions, such as the two sides of the battle, the phantom of chaos, and the narration of angels." The girl said that she was curious about angels in her heart.
