Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2751: Shadow of Paradise (5)
Chapter 2751 Shadow of Paradise (5)
Elaine, sitting across from Pope Eugene IV, looks deeply moved with tears in her eyes.
Eugene IV naturally didn't know what Elaine experienced in [Paradise]. He thought that Elaine was simply moved by the magnificent scenery in [Paradise], so he shed such tears. Who knew that what really brought Elaine to tears was not the beauty of the Garden of Eden at all.
"How is it? Did the paradise you see make you intoxicated?"
"Um, uh..." Elaine replied falteringly.
He knew that the Pope was going to impose conditions on him next, asking him to do certain things in the hope that he would join the Church.
Even if she doesn't want to, Elaine agrees with her conscience, because this is the key to infiltrating the church and gaining the Pope's trust. Only by gaining the Pope's trust can he think of a way to save Joan of Arc from within the church.
"Listen." Elaine recalled a brief conversation King Arthur had with him a few days earlier.
"I know your kid is not good at lying. If you use your poor lying skills to deal with people in the church, you will definitely get rid of them." The King of Knights said: "So I will now grant you [the ultimate lying skills]. ], a skill only you can use."
"Um, oh..." Elaine swallowed, listening intently.
"The way to make the lies you tell sound 100% like the truth is actually very simple." The King of Knights continued: "Just follow your [true heart]."
"Oh." Elaine nodded first, then stunned: "Uh...what?"
If you speak [follow your heart], isn't that the truth, and where is the lie?
"Listen to me first." Arthur continued: "I told you to follow your heart, but I didn't tell you to say what you wanted to say. Simply put, no matter what the other party wants you to do, your heart is in your heart. Answer according to your heart, and when you say it, say the exact opposite of what you wanted to say. If the other party asks you to do something that you are unwilling to do, then agree to do it without hesitation. It's just such a simple logical transformation."
"This..."
"Listen, Elaine." The King of Knights hummed and said, "All the liars in this world, the reason why their lies will be seen through is not because their lying skills are too poor and their acting skills are not good. and so on. The reason why their lies will be seen through is because the other party sees the hesitation in their expressions and knows that the liar is [after thinking about it and then speaking]. If it is the opposite, [don't even think about it] Just say it]? The other party will think it is the truth, and will think that what you say is worth believing. The more stupid and despised characters, the greater the effect. For example, you."
"Your Majesty, you..." Although the King of Knights was right, Elaine was always a little uncomfortable when Arthur called him stupid.
"The people in the church must have investigated your background beforehand, know what kind of person you are usually, and also know that you are a [toy] of King Charles VII of France." Arthur sneered: "They thought you were very Stupid, think you go with the flow, only know how to accept fate silently, never know how to resist. They despise you, they are very lax with you, they think you are very controllable, and if you give you a little favor, you will obey them. So you only need to speak Pay more attention to your skills than usual, and apply what I have taught you, and you will be able to deceive people in the church. They think they have you under their control, but they don't think it's you who really ensnares them in their palms. ."
"Is this...really, really possible?" Elaine's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"It can be done. You are a better person than you imagined, and you are better than the group of people in the church." Arthur said: "After all, in order to fulfill your great wish, you are silently working in this different place. I have been in the world for ten years. Whether it is our original world or this twisted world, there is probably no one in this world who is more determined than you."
"This..." Elaine didn't know if King Arthur was praising him sincerely or teasing him, so he had to put on an innocent look.
"Okay, in order to improve your lying skills, let's practice next. For the next few hours, whatever you want to say, put what you want to say [completely reversed] Say it]. When you can do so fluently, you will graduate."
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Elaine's forehead.
The scene changed, and the Pope appeared in front of Elaine. The kind-hearted Pope Eugene IV said to Elaine in a questioning tone: "Since Dr. Roffrey has been deeply moved by [Paradise], I will ask you directly, do you want to have this [Paradise] forever. ?"
"...forever...own?"
"In the near future, in some way, we can move the vast majority of the church into [Paradise]. Humans -- at least a select part of humanity, can live forever Enjoy the holy land that is free from competition and flowing with milk and honeydew. This is the greatest blessing God has given us as human beings, and I don't think anyone would refuse."
"Forever, forever..." Elaine thought for a while, and then said in reverse: "Okay. I think, want to have it."
(I don't care about this kind of paradise at all. Leo is not in it.)
The Pope asked: "In other words, are you willing to be our collaborator and do your part to open the [era of paradise]?"
"When, of course." (don't even think about it!)
"Very good." Eugene IV looked at Elaine's eyes repeatedly, especially, at the moment when Elaine said the words, the Pope was checking whether Elaine's eyes were sincere or not.
However, not even Eugene IV could see that Elaine was lying. Fatty Bai directly said what he wanted to say without thinking, but it became a perfect lying technique. Even the **** he usually speaks has become the best cover up. Others think Elaine is just habitual sex, not lying.
The Pope gave a satisfied smile. Joffrey the Physician is a more perfect **** than the noble Joan of Arc, because he's stupid, innocent, and easy to control -- at least that's what the Pope thinks. This kid has probably been completely fascinated by the beauty and treasures in the Garden of Eden. In order to destroy Eden again, no matter what the church wants him to do next, he will not refuse it.
"I have something I want to give you." Eugene IV took out another object from his bosom, a shimmering green stone less than half the size of a palm.
"This, this?"
"Holy stone." The Pope replied: "It is the first group of pioneers who explored the paradise, the magical stone found in the paradise. With this, you can form a contract with the angels and fight When the time comes, let the angels come to the world to help the war. Thanks to the [Holy Stone], the army of the Holy See is now invincible, not only religiously and spiritually established the world's hegemony, in fact, the Holy Roman Empire is also one of the world's armed forces. Head. No country in Europe, be it France or England, would dare not bow down to us."
Elaine frowned involuntarily, but he knew it was a bad frown, so he tried his best to keep the Pope unaware of his frown. Fortunately, the Pope focused his eyes on the "Holy Stone", and just couldn't see Elaine's expression.
"However, there is a small problem with this [Holy Stone]."
"Small question?"
"It is a sacred object that exists in paradise, and it is not something that mortals can have." The Pope continued: "The [angels] that mortals call from [sacred stones] will be somewhat different in appearance because of the Mortals are twisted by their own ** and become less holy. After all, no matter how devout believers, they still have emotions and [darkness] in their hearts. Angels also reflect a part of these mortals' hearts dark, and revealed in that fierce shape."
"This..." Elaine was out of her mind, but she also realized what the Pope wanted to say. As a result, is this really a [Holy Stone]? The summoned might be a hideous demon, right? If so, are these [sacred stones] really as holy as the Pope said?
Maybe it's just a tool, a catalyst, used to summon something, such as a spirit body------
Elaine thought of the Knights of the Round Table, of Constantine's Holy Spirit [Devi

That's right. Because he knew about it, Elaine understood. The [Holy Stone] is just some kind of catalyst for summoning the spirit body, and it should be the same thing as the [Round Table System], but the scale is smaller and the performance is estimated to be inferior. The [Round Table System] can create the Holy Spirit in response to the [Wish] of the Knights of the Round Table. It is said that the stronger the wish and the firmer the Knights of the Round Table's desire to achieve, the stronger the Holy Spirit created.
[Holy Stone] summons a spirit body~IndoMTL.com~ It is estimated that the same principle is used. Summons spirits according to the user's [Wish] or [**]. It's just because the people in the church have [darkness] in their hearts, so the summoned spirit body is distorted and turned into some kind of ugly existence.
And now, against Elaine's wishes, Pope Eugene IV just shoved a holy stone into Elaine's hands: "Use it, Dr. Joffrey."
"I, I'll use it?" Elaine couldn't understand the other party's intention.
"Yes. It's up to you." Eugene IV nodded: "If the information I received is correct, Dr. Joffrey, you are the [chosen one] we have been waiting for. In order to save the world from the threat of the Black Death, you who worked tirelessly to treat the hardest-hit areas, and to treat sick patients regardless of the cost, must have a nobler idea than anyone in the church. The mind must be purer than anyone else."
"So...you, what are you going to tell me to do...?" Elaine's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"Use the [Holy Stone] to make a pact with the angel, Dr. Joffrey." The Pope said: "If you can successfully call an angel with a holy appearance, it will surely provide great benefits to our soldiers fighting on the front lines. Great encouragement."
