Dust of History Chapter 52: The wind is full of the building (middle)

The room is very spacious, very gorgeous, and even more stylish. The heavy black tables, chairs and furnishings all exude a grand and serious atmosphere. This place seems to be the condensation of the entire St. Peter's Basilica, and the cardinal sitting firmly in the center of the front is like the **** in the center of the church. He may have deliberately arranged his room like this unintentionally, but the majesty exuding from him does match his identity.

"Knight Talis, is that why you asked me to wait here in the middle of the night?" The cardinal frowned and looked at the delirious girl in front of him. His majestic and dignified eyes just swept away and then retracted, a little disapproving, "She is just closed-minded caused by excessive fright. Although this situation is indeed serious, Celeste should have three or four Someone who can heal her, is it necessary to use magic rumors to tell me to come here and wait?"

As the cardinal of Erasia, his status can even be compared with that of Queen Catherine, but on this stormy night, he was waiting here like a doctor to treat people. If it wasn't for Talis, or this Lan Sloat's only apprentice, Eschael would never have the patience and good temper to sit here and talk to her.

Talis quickly bowed and said: "Please forgive me, Lord Eschael. But there is actually a very complicated inside story behind this matter. I dare not take this girl to Celeste without authorization, Lance Teacher Lott is recuperating, so I can't disturb you. So bring her to you first, and you will treat her first, and I will report this to you first by the way."

The cardinal frowned and nodded, since the person has already brought it, it doesn't matter. Most of the time, he unintentionally slowed down his movements a bit, and his expression was a little dignified. Even such an impatient expression seemed to imply the majesty of the gods. He looked at the girl with a demented look again, and suddenly found that she was chanting the same sentence all the time.

May the merciful Lord use the lives of believers to send down your mercy to protect those fragile souls and lives...

The girl's voice was low. Her pronunciation was also very vague, as if she was raving without any doubt under her demented expression. But there is a sad majesty in these words naturally. All the girl's energy, thoughts, and will were concentrated in this raving that had been repeated countless times. Every word was not uttered by her mouth, but vibrated by her soul.

If the majesty of the cardinal is the man-made cathedral, it is so tall and majestic that all the viewers will admire it. The girl's words were deposited on a stone by the river after hundreds of millions of years of accumulation. They are ordinary and even ugly, but those who know the true meaning of them will definitely be moved by them. It is the shock of coexistence with heaven and earth. .

"This is a prayer for God's protection." The cardinal couldn't help being moved. Naturally, this spell was not profound and subtle in his eyes. But it is impossible for anyone to turn a deaf ear to this spell that only the most steadfast senior priest can cast with all his life and magic. Convergence is the magic that Bishop Eschael has only seen a limited number of times in his decades of magic career. His eyes suddenly focused on the girl, and after scanning slowly, his whole body shook slightly, and he said in a low voice, "She..."

"Did you see anything?" Talis asked cautiously.

The light in Bishop Eschael's eyes flashed. Slowly nodded: "This girl was once saved by the magic of the protection of the gods. The situation at that time must have been extremely terrifying and bloody. It was the excessive fright that caused her to lose her mind."

"How do you know?" Talis was stunned.

The cardinal smiled slightly, his smile was as majestic and compassionate as the **** statue on the high platform: "It's very simple, it's clear at a glance. If it's not the stimulation itself, it must be related to the repeated words of this kind of stimulating and delirious person." The stimulus that caused her to become abnormal has a great and direct relationship. And you know very well what kind of magic the protection of the gods is. The person who sacrificed his life to protect her must be her very close relatives. Within the range, it must have been killed in front of her eyes."

"You deserve the title of the number one mental magician in the mainland." Talis was completely convinced. Although she knew that Bishop Eschael had a high attainment in mental magic, she never imagined that she could understand all the cause and effect at a glance, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Eschael didn't show the slightest joy or complacency on his face. Maybe Talis's words were not a compliment at all to him, but a statement of facts. His eyes wandered over the girl's body several times, and then slowly moved to the upper right direction unknowingly and thoughtfully.

The neat and imposing white eyebrows slowly knit together. Talis did not speak again. She could only see that the bishop's expression seemed to be thinking or remembering, and she didn't dare to disturb him.

I don't know when there is only the girl whispering in the room, the wind, rain and thunder outside the window are still fierce, but it is spacious. There was a strange heavy smell in the air of the grand room. Talis vaguely felt a little uneasy, but she didn't know where this uneasiness came from, or it was just an illusion caused by the silence inside the house and the wind and rain outside.

A very close thunder exploded not far away, causing the candles in the room to shake a few times. Bishop Eschael finally looked at the girl again while the lights were flickering. Said: "If I'm not mistaken, this girl should be a very talented magician, and her elemental magic practice can reach the level of an intermediate magician... The key is, why did I feel the fluctuation of white magic in her body?" ? Judging from the fact that you are going to take her quietly, she is not a believer, not a legal user of white magic... Also, who used God's Asylum on her? I don't remember receiving such a report recently Tell me which priest has used this spell."

Talis nodded and replied: "Yes. This is one of the things I want to report to you. This girl... and her brother were actually raised by Pastor Leilas of the Diocese of Pinsburg , it was Pastor Leylas who taught them white magic, and this time it was Pastor Leylas who used God's protection to save their brothers and sisters at a critical moment."

"Pinsburg... seems to be one of the pastors who were expelled when His Majesty ascended the throne." Bishop Eschael snorted, his thick nasal voice even covering the sound of the wind and rain outside the window for a while. In the past, "Even if you are expelled from the priesthood, teaching the sacred white magic to others without permission is a serious violation of Celeste's regulations. White magic is the magic that the Lord gave believers to protect the light. It is not the Lord's It is blasphemy for believers to use white magic."

"Master Bishop, although this old pastor was expelled from the priesthood, his faith has not wavered in the slightest. His ability to use the ecstasy asylum is a proof of his devotion to the Lord. And this girl and her brother, I can use the honor of the Temple Knights to guarantee their pure hearts and conduct." Talis hurriedly argued, "And behind this incident I want to report is a real blasphemy. The attack on the sacred white magic Blasphemy, please allow me to finish."

Bishop Eschael nodded expressionlessly.

"The thing is like this... This girl and her brother participated in the caravan from Erathia Chamber of Commerce to Oufu... One night when they came back..."

The female knight described everything in detail, and everything seemed to be witnessed by herself. Bishop Eschael was also listening, but perhaps because he was listening too seriously, the cardinal's face and eyes did not change at all, and he only looked at the female knight lightly.

"Being able to use paralysis and fixation, and even God's blessing, the caster of the spell is at least a bishop. Although I can't believe it, just in case, so I dare not take this girl easily Celeste. Let me report to you first..."

"Knight Talis, do you think this story is true?" Bishop Eschael suddenly interrupted the female knight and said calmly.

"This..." The female knight was stunned.

"A believer who serves the Lord, and a bishop who is bestowed by the Lord to teach glory, specially went to that barbaric and desolate place, and used the holy white magic on a few wild beasts just to let them kill a group of copper-smelling beasts. Businessman..." The cardinal sighed, and asked again lightly: "Do you think this story is reasonable? If these words come out of other mouths, I will send him to the stake directly."

The female knight's face flushed bright red. Although she paused, her tone did not waver at all: "He will not lie to me, and this girl, it cannot be caused by other circumstances."

"He?" The cardinal seemed a little surprised by the wording, "Who? This girl's brother? The young man who helped you?"

"Yes."

Bishop Eschael sat up straight, looked at the female knight expressionlessly like a god, and the majesty and momentum in his eyes were irresistible: "I see in your eyes something that should not be lost. Emotions. For a Templar who dedicated his life to the great justice and the glory of the Lord, this is depravity.”

"No, I didn't..." Talis's body shook, her face was full of astonishment.

"Even if this girl was indeed saved by the protection of the gods, it definitely does not mean that what he told you is the truth. Is the blood in the hands of the beasts on the wild highlands less bloody? They have been buried in their stomachs for hundreds of years There are countless souls in the world, but now you believe that someone will deliberately use holy white magic to frame them?"

"No, my lord bishop, it's because..." Talis just opened her mouth but couldn't continue.

"What a person believes is not necessarily because the thing is credible, but the important thing is that the person is willing to believe. If you believe such a clumsy lie, it means that your heart has been moved and you are willing to believe This story. Because this story can make the few white magicians into victims, so that their crimes are not so serious in this fictional plot. This is just the young man trying to heal his sister At the same time, it is just a trick to divert attention in order to get rid of the crime."

Talis looked at Bishop Eschael, emotions such as confusion, anxiety, anxiety, etc. were constantly changing and intermingling on her face.

"I see weakness, confusion, and anxiety in your eyes. There is also the temptation of evil." The cardinal looked at the female knight and the majesty and light in his eyes became more and more serious, almost turning the female in front of him. The knight sees through, sees through, and his voice becomes more and more severe, "You feel your heart, is this the heart that a temple knight with a firm and pious belief should have?"

The light in Taliss' eyes shattered like a piece of glass under the cardinal's bearded gaze, and then she finally nodded in a low voice: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Bishop Eschael's voice and eyes softened, and he said: "As the youngest Templar Knight of Celeste and a disciple of Lancelot, you are absolutely lacking in talent and mind. It is the experience in the world, the understanding and insight into the human heart." The cardinal sighed, and said earnestly: "You know, many things in this world are not as simple and pure as they appear on the surface."

"Yes." Talis lowered her head, but suddenly raised it again, and the blurred light in her phoenix eyes once again gathered a firm color, "But I still ask you to heal this girl, As for whether those things are true, we can wait to find out later."

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the cardinal. Bishop Eschael nodded, showing a rare smile and said: "Of course, I will cure her naturally. By the way, her brother, is the young man you mentioned coming? Your name is He came here."

Talis was taken aback, looked at the cardinal's face that had begun to show kindness, and nodded happily.

Until the female knight turned and left, the cardinal stayed alone in the room ~IndoMTL.com~ The kind smile on his face did not weaken at all. Although the world of wind, rain, thunder and lightning is still outside the window, a warm atmosphere seems to have begun to permeate the originally serious and dignified room.

The wind outside the window is still fierce, and the rain is still urgent. I don't know which thunderbolt made the dark world shine for a moment. In the thunder that seemed to shake the whole cathedral, two black shadows could be seen sticking outside the window, but it was a pity that from the angle of the house, it was nowhere to be seen. invisible.

The whole body of the two black shadows has been soaked by the rain, and the outlines of the body and muscles are clearly visible, but they are still motionless. The stone carvings are tightly attached to the outer wall.

One of the smaller black shadows moved slowly. The curves of this black shadow's body were soft, slender and full of wild allure, like a statue of a girl cast by a devil in the darkness. Her movements were very slow and very careful, not daring to make the slightest sound even in the midst of the storm and thunder. She looked at another black figure, and slowly pointed to the figure of the cardinal in the window with a pull-down movement.

The other black figure slowly shook his head, opened his mouth, and made no sound, just made a movement of spitting out a word.

That is: wait.
