Chapter 88 89. News

Roy came behind Jasper, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered to him before he was about to lift the linen cloth:

"Don't lift him, Jasper, have you forgotten Priest Anderson?"

There was hesitation on Jasper's face, and he lowered his voice and said to Roy:

"It said it would tell me how it persuaded the teacher if I would lift the linen."

A hoarse voice sounded again from inside the linen-covered bronze mirror:

"I can make a magic contract with you. If you are willing to lift the curtain on the mirror here, I will tell you what exactly Andyson and I said that night..."

Roy ignored the voice at all, but stared at Jasper and said: "No matter what it said to Father Andyson... it turns out that it did not convince Father Andyson at all."

"How do you know?" Jasper asked doubtfully.

Roy smiled, put his ear to Jasper's ear and said, "If he could convince Priest Andyson, it would have escaped from here long ago. How could it continue to be trapped here? Don't be stupid, Jasper." Pa, it must be scared now, but it can’t leave and wants your help..."

Jasper took a deep breath: "Roy, you are right!"

After saying that, he picked up the bronze mirror again and walked towards the main hall.

No matter how the hoarse voice in the bronze mirror begged him, Jasper remained unmoved.

The warehouse was not far from the main hall. When Roy, Jasper, and Abbot carried all four bronze mirrors covered with linen into the Temple of Liberty, the voices in the bronze mirrors suddenly stopped.

Probably feeling the sacred atmosphere in the main hall, the dead souls in the four bronze mirrors have also become more honest.

Priest Theodore sat on a bench in the last row of the main hall, his face a little depressed, and he seemed to have completed the inquiry.

Although I don’t know what the outcome will be, it seems that Priest Theodore is not in a good mood...

High Priest Thorndike Yamos stands under the Statue of Liberty in the main hall.

With neat hair, serious faces, and sharp eyes, Roy and the others walked into the temple and consciously closed their mouths.

The great priest Thorndike Yamos asked the three trainee priests to place bronze mirrors in front of the relief stone statue of the goddess, then walked to a bronze mirror, stretched out his hand and uncovered the linen cloth...

When he saw the bronze mirror, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a strong and pure holy light immediately appeared in his palm.

A screaming female voice immediately came from the bronze mirror...

"You poor people who have been completely forgotten by that self-righteous woman, instead of going to Golfito to wait for death, you actually come here to deal with an innocent soul. Come on, use your holy light to purify me, and then let those darkness The things in this land will completely tear you apart. This is the law of survival of the weak and the strong. It is very reasonable!"

The woman in the bronze mirror finished these words quickly...

Roy, Jasper and Abbot, standing opposite the high priest Thorndike Yamos, only saw a wisp of green smoke under the holy light, and a light blue outline of soul appeared above the bronze mirror, looking towards Floating towards the dome of the temple...

Afterwards, High Priest Thorndike Yamos began to observe a bronze mirror carefully. While observing, he said: "This is a soul-type container with a magical seal. The designer is very thoughtful. The dead souls inside have been purified." …”

Finally he wrapped the linen cloth around the bronze mirror.

He turned to look at Roy, Jasper and Abt. When he looked at Roy, he asked, "What's your name?"

"Roy."

"Roy, listen, when did you see Father Anderson chatting with the dead souls in the mirror in the warehouse?"

High Priest Thorndike Yamos stared at Roy and asked, his clear eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Roy's heart.

Roy paused and did not look away. Instead, he met the gaze of High Priest Thorndike Yamos and looked level with him.

"Last time there was a meeting in the temple, Jasper and I were doing cleaning work in the main hall. At that time, we needed to carry a few benches to the warehouse. Although the main hall is large, it would be a problem if there were too many benches. It seemed so cluttered that we would usually move the last two rows of benches to the warehouse,” Roy said.

"When we moved the bench to the warehouse, we saw Father Anderson sitting on the chair and talking in front of a bronze mirror, but I didn't hear any other sounds at that time..."

Then High Priest Thorndike Yamos asked Jasper and Abt in turn.

The question is nothing more than: has Father Andyson done something unusual recently? Were they present when Father Andyson performed the seance ceremony? What did they see...

In fact, Roy remembered quite clearly what he saw Priest Andyson talking to in the warehouse that day, because when he later saw the mirror on the Black Pearl, he suddenly remembered what happened in front of Priest Andyson. There is something wrong with the mirror.

The Lord Investigator then asked several people to sign their names on the parchment he was recording, and then waved his hand to the three trainee priests, indicating that they could leave.

When Roy and others walked out of the main hall, High Priest Thorndike Yamos was silent for a moment, and then said to High Priest Reed:

"I will report this matter to the high priest truthfully, and I will bring these four bronze mirrors back to the headquarters."

"Priest Andyson's incident can be defined as the failure of the divine descent ceremony, which in turn led to Priest Andyson's return to the embrace of God..."

High Priest Thorndike Yamos said to High Priest Reed and Priest Theodore.

He walked back under the Statue of Liberty, turned around and waved to High Priest Reed and Priest Theodore.

When High Priest Reed and Priest Theodore came over, they lowered their voices slightly and said:

"In addition, when I came this time, I also brought two notices from the high priest."

He paused and said:

"The first thing is that you need to pay attention to the movements of the Moon Temple. During this period, the Moon Temple has been causing us trouble. This time I came out to investigate the cause of the death of Priest Andyson because I suspected that the Moon Temple had done some tricks at the end. But now it seems that there is no direct connection between Andyson’s death and the Moon Temple.”

Priest Theodore looked a little unnatural...

High Priest Thorndike Yamos glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids and continued:

"The second thing is to inform you two that the Dark Gate is currently being built in Golfito. The first batch of temple legions has been assembled in Golfito. When the portal to the Dark Land is built, the elves The mainland’s first advance army is about to rush to the dark place.”

Grand Priest Reed and Priest Theodore have been waiting for this notification recently, and it seems that the Temple of Liberty in Castletown has not been spared.

The great priest Thorndike Yamos said:

"Although Castleton City may be the last expeditionary force in the order of departure, I must still remind you two... to prepare in advance."

He glanced at High Priest Reed with an unsatisfied expression on his face:

"By the way, I would like to remind you that although the Holy Grail of Wisdom lost by your temple is an imitation, because you need to join the Temple Expeditionary Corps, the Holy Grail of Wisdom is more important to you, because once you enter the dark place, that The world is completely cut off from the Holy Light. During this period of your campaign, without the Holy Grail of Wisdom, you will not be able to replenish the Holy Light..."

High Priest Reed and Priest Theodore looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

The great priest Thorndike Yamos added:

"Yes, only the Holy Grail of Wisdom possesses divinity... Even if there is only a trace of divinity, it will give birth to holy light on the battlefield in the dark land."

"Do you two understand?"

High Priest Reed and Priest Theodore replied at the same time: "I understand."

"Okay, you two - let's encourage each other!"

After the great priest Thorndike Yamos said these words, he turned around and walked to the bronze mirrors and put them into the magic waist bag.

…

Roy took advantage of the fact that it was still dark and there were people setting up tables at the fish market, so he hurried to the fish market and bought four mackerel, and then he took the fresh fish home.

He didn't intend to eat these four fish by himself.

After making the pan-fried fish steak, he would feed it to Mrs. Winnie's night saber.

Otherwise... Roy even had a feeling that if he dared to pass by the door of the pharmacy alone, the night saber might break free from the chains and use some practical actions to tell him not to challenge the patience of a night saber.

Seeing Roy passing by with four mackerel in his hand, the night saber lying in the den finally yawned lazily...

Roy was in the temple and saw the great priest Thorndike Yamos holding a silver scepter. Although it looked new, neither the pattern nor the crown jewel on the top of the scepter were as good as There was one lying under Roy's bed.

When I got home, I marinated the mackerel, then changed out of my clothes, washed them together with the dress that Ms. Belinda had changed into that hadn't had time to be washed, and hung it on the clothesline on the second floor terrace to dry.

After doing this, Roy returned to the hut and found the sacred scepter hidden under the bed...

It's heavy, and indeed has more texture than the one in the hands of the great priest Thorndike Yamos.

Roy tried to wave twice with one hand, but with his current arm strength... it was still very difficult unless he used both hands.

Roy tried to bless himself with the 'Blessing of Strength'. The situation was better, but it was still a bit heavy.

It seemed that it was not possible for the time being. Roy glanced at the wooden hammer hanging on his waist. This thing had not been returned since it was borrowed from the Elf Academy.

Roy fried the fish quickly, and after it was done, he put it on a wooden plate, walked out of the house holding the wooden plate, and walked along Brown Street to the pharmacy at the corner of the street...

The night saber emerged from the den nimbly, with a chain tied around its neck, and hid under the low bush wall at the door of the house. It cautiously poked its head out and looked at Roy, who was slowly walking towards him with a wooden pallet in the distance. , making a cry of "Ouch" from his mouth.

Roy followed the sound and walked over, placing the wooden tray in front of Nightsaber, and then he saw Sabrina, who was wearing an apricot yellow dress, holding several thick books, standing behind him, leaning forward. , looked over with curiosity...
