Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2752: Shadow of Paradise (6)
Chapter 2752 Shadow of Paradise (6)
Hearing the Pope say this, Elaine couldn't help but look embarrassed. He couldn't hide it if he wanted to deliberately, and it was a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
"Just, just give me such an important [Holy Stone], is there really no problem?" Elaine asked.
"In fact, there are many [Holy Stones], but not many people who can correctly guide the power of the Holy Stone." Eugene IV said: "Anyway, try it first. I believe you have this qualification, And your inner purity can also direct the power of the Holy Stone in the right direction."
Anyway, try it first. There's no harm in trying. Is the Pope really a reckless person? Or is this just testing Elaine's power?
Elaine holds the Holy Stone tightly in her hands. Honestly, he was nervous.
What if the Holy Stone doesn't respond at all. If the spiritual body summoned by the holy stone is ugly and twisted, and the Pope is disappointed, what should we do?
"You don't need to think too much. Just think about the wish you want to achieve." The Pope repeatedly reminded hypnotically: "What wish do you want to achieve? What do you want, what do you pursue, what do you achieve? Recite the most sincere wishes in your heart, and the holy stone will answer your call."
This is exactly the same as the round table system. Elaine did not experience the actual round table system in Avalon, but Constantine mentioned it to him privately.
Wish...?
When it comes to wishes, even if you don't think about it, Elaine can't get rid of the figure of a person.
No, there should have been at least two people. But Leo... Leo's side is more urgent... Now what Elaine is most eager to save is Leo Potter.
(Leo...)
He closed his eyes, and all that appeared in front of him was the lion boy's original voice and smile. He has been trapped in this different world nine hundred years later for ten years, but he has not missed that child for a moment.
All he thought about was the things he regretted.
The breakfast that Leo made for him, but he didn't eat.
He didn't even say goodbye when the kid left.
When he saw Leo again, he saw the haggard look on the child's face.
Elaine knows that she is not a kind and gentle person, perhaps not even pure.
(Leo...)
The phantom of Leopold I saw in [Paradise] just now did not relieve Elaine's feelings of missing, but made him even more sad.
I do things I don't want to do in a strange world, act like I don't want to act, and tell lies I don't want to tell. Be a self that is not yourself.
Always endure, endure, endure, just for the child. But he couldn't take it anymore, his mind was about to go crazy.
------Who is coming, let this stop!
------Let it end!
Elaine's mind grows increasingly confused. I don't know if it's his cranky thinking that leads to his obsession, or if the holy stone is affecting him. No matter which one it was, Elaine, who was trapped in the invisible ice coffin at first, almost suffocated, had already reached the point where her mind was close to collapse.
I just wanted to find a place to stay.
Since when did everything become so difficult and complicated?
The world is so big, but he can't always find a place for him. It's hard to find, but it always slips through my fingers.
Is this fate?
------But.
A thin figure hugs him from behind.
Almost imperceptible, but it does exist.
"Put the weight off your shoulders." The boy's voice echoed leisurely in Elaine's mind.
"No need to worry about anything. It's all destiny." The voice said, "Wherever you are, I am with you."
At the same time as hearing the voice, Elaine's long-standing suffocation suddenly disappeared like ice and snow. Even if it was just an auditory hallucination, even if it was just deceived, maybe what he wanted was such a promise.
"Leo......" Elaine shed two lines of tears, and the original green holy stone also turned into another light in his palm.
Something appears next to him.
"Oh!" The Pope exclaimed in surprise.
Elaine hadn't opened her eyes yet, as tears had engulfed his vision. But he knew from the exclamation of Eugene IV that something should have appeared. He successfully used the [Holy Stone] to summon the so-called "angel".
He opened his eyes slowly, turned his head to look in the direction of the light, and wondered what he had summoned. What he saw surprised him.
A golden lion, glowing with lightning-like golden-white light, also silently stared at Elaine there.
Just...just like Leopold.
So, this really is his wish being embodied.
"Leo...!" Tears were running out, Elaine had no time to act in front of the Pope, and he had no time to act. He rushed towards the platinum lion desperately, hugging him It howled.
Platinum lions are the size and size of real lions, and even have the same body temperature. No, not right. This temperature was the temperature that Elaine felt when holding Leo in his arms that day.
It radiated brighter than ordinary lightning, white gold flashes with white radiance, and a faint thunderclap of electric current, but Elaine didn't feel the electric shock when she hugged the platinum lion. middle. This peculiar electric light is probably just the excess light produced by photons, and the same principle as the fire without heat on the phoenix, but now it is replaced by electric light. In any case, this is the spirit body created by Elaine with the [Holy Stone]. It belongs to his spirit body, so naturally it won't hurt him.
As to whether this is the Holy Spirit or the evil spirit, or something in between, no one can tell.
The Pope must have been stunned to see Elaine hugging the platinum lion. He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know.
Although only an apparition, the embodiment of Elaine's wishes, he did see what he wanted to see.
It's just that [miss] has become [form].
Although I understand that this is not Leopold himself, the feeling of nostalgia will not change because of this.
While being embraced by Elaine, the platinum lion also looked at the Pope hostilely, probably knowing that the Pope might harm Elaine. But the lion's glare seemed to change in the Pope's eyes. What Eugene IV saw was the majestic appearance of the platinum lion.
"How holy, how majestic." The Pope praised: "You are just as I imagined, with a measure and purity far exceeding that of mortals. The angel who made a contract with you is not an ugly and evil appearance, really Great."
Elaine did not answer. The Leo he imagined was naturally impossible to be ugly and evil.
It has nothing to do with the correctness of the wish itself. Those who covet power and wealth in the world will naturally present their wishes in the form of distorted darkness, no matter how devout believers are. Moreover, how many people in the church are still truly pure believers? There are naturally fewer people in this minority who are willing to join forces with the Pope.
The people who joined forces with the Pope are probably not good people, and the spirits they summoned by using the holy stone will naturally not be any better. Just the truth.
...But what if you steal a lot of holy stones and hand them over to Arthur?
The thought crossed Elaine's mind, but he knew it would be extremely difficult to achieve. Such an important resource as the holy stone is naturally closely guarded by the church, and it is impossible for it to fall into Elaine's hands. Even if it can be stolen, how to escape with the stolen holy stone unnoticed and hand it over to King Arthur and his party is also a very challenging matter. If he escaped, Elaine's disguise would be completely gone, of course he couldn't do that. If you want to escape, you must at least find out about Queen Greenville (Joan of Arc) first.
Elaine wondered, the platinum lion rubbed its face against Elaine, looking close to Fatty White.
Spontaneously cooked? Just like Leopold, this lion likes to stick to Elaine when it sees Elaine. Although it doesn't look exactly like the real lion-man boy (if an orc like Leo is called in this world, I'm afraid it will scare people in this world), but its temperament does imitate Leo Potter. .
The more she thinks about it, the more Elaine finds herself like this------
Lonely.
He squeezed the platinum lion tightly again. Fortunately, the lion's spirit body wouldn't feel any pain when hugged by a big man like Elaine. Instead, he put the lion's paw on Elaine's head to comfort him. But this level of comfort can't really unravel the dead knot in Elaine's heart.
No. It doesn't help to stop here.
Fatty Bai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned around to say to the Pope, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Because he is too much like my former friend, friend, and unconsciously..."
"Your former friend was a lion?"
"...Just a person with a temperament like a lion, a lion." Elaine replied in a circle.
"If Richard I the Lionheart wasn't from two or three hundred years ago, I would have thought you were talking about him." Eugene IV said half-jokingly: "The temperament can be as majestic as this angel, and There is no one worthy of the title of [Lion] in this era."
There really isn't one in this day and age. Elaine thought. Even if there is, it is not a person from this era.
"What should I, what should I do?" Elaine asked again: "The Pope gave me the holy stone... Shouldn't it be free, free?"
"You don't have to do anything, just show up in the church and let the Knights of the Pope know that you have made a contract with such a holy angel." Eugene IV said: "Just like this, you can give Great encouragement for the troops~IndoMTL.com~ Really? Just, just, just...?"
"What they need has never been more physical, but spiritual," the Pope said.
To put it bluntly, the "angels" summoned by the Pope's Knights are probably...ugly. Because there are too many ugly "angels", even people in the church don't have the confidence to call them angels, so they want to find positive examples and let the pope knights regain their confidence.
Just intending to use Elaine's platinum lion as a vase...is that what it means. A drop of cold sweat appeared on the fat man's forehead. But this is better than having him take the platinum lion into battle. God knows if Elaine will meet Arthur and his party one day. At that time, it was hard to know whether to pretend to fight and escape, or to go directly to the opposite side. Pretending to fight is probably difficult to do.
"However, if you want to help, there is one thing you can do to help." The Pope changed the topic and added: "It is the propaganda of Lord Angel's first appearance, asking him to help exorcise the undead. How?"
"Dead... undead?" Elaine had a bad feeling.
