The temple is unjust and the gods are selfish. What Claudia and the old woman said almost overturned Xiela's worldview.
Strictly speaking, this is the second time. Last time, what Roland said to Xiela when he was in the White Tower made him begin to doubt the Pope, and this time, what Claudia said to him
His words made him even doubt the gods.
"...However, the plague cannot be cured..."
Despite this, as a priest for more than thirty years, Xiela still subconsciously defended the gods: "From this point of view, they seem to be right. Since the plague cannot be cured, then we must completely cut off the plague from the deepest level.
The basis of infection... As long as the social structure does not collapse, no matter how many people die, they can return to their original state in a short time."
"Well said, but it makes no sense."
When Xila was halfway through speaking, Claudia interrupted him: "What you need to know is that 'plague cannot be cured by magic'. I hope you know what this means."
Xila thought for a moment, as if he realized something, and his pupils narrowed instantly: "It's impossible to pass the magic... Could it be?"
"That's right. Any means other than divine magic can be effective. At least it can alleviate the plague."
Claudia sighed.
"Aren't you going to ask me about the children at the door? Then I will tell you that these people are all patients infected with bloodstain syndrome and have developed to the terminal stage."
As she said this, Claudia's expression became calm, and her blue pupils were like the purest crystal, with some light shining in them.
She looked at Sila, and then seemed to be looking at something behind Sila, and stated softly: "In fact, when I discovered this place, it had become a refuge that had nothing to do with nobility or dignity. Those in the temple
These are the only ones who can survive the massacre like a knight wiping the land."
"I still remember that when I first came here, the people here tried their best to drive me away. They attacked me and scolded me, just in the hope that I could leave them. They just hope that I would not be infected with such a disease."
Claudia walked up, walked around behind the old woman, helped her sit down, and gently combed her hair behind the old woman. In just two breaths, the old woman who was almost crazy before was smitten by her.
He was comforted again.
"When I first arrived here, I was also very distressed. I have magic that can restore wounds, but it can't dispel the plague. When I saw blood marks appearing on each patient, after sunrise the next day
When I died and there was nothing I could do about it, I almost collapsed."
"But at this moment, I discovered that an old man whose legs had been chopped off died a full four days after blood stains appeared. I had an idea at that time."
"Then, after I got permission from a mother, I cut off her child's limbs because the disease causes the blood to coagulate and dry up. Even if I cut off the artery, I can't squeeze out much blood. And even if I squeeze out the blood from the left arm,
The blood marks on the right arm can also cause the body to collapse. After cutting off all four limbs at the same time, someone has to keep swinging their limbs to squeeze out the blood that has turned black. Her child successfully survived the next day. But
After I treated his injuries and sealed them, he died."
"At that time, I understood that this disease must be related to blood. As long as you keep bleeding, even if blood stains appear, you will not die in a short time."
When Claudia said this, her happy eyes almost gleamed, and her face flushed with excitement: "Then, no one will die because of the plague. What I have to do is cut off their limbs and
Have people help them constantly lift their limbs to squeeze out the blood, and then when they are about to bleed to death, pray for a miracle from the instructor to restore their bodies, and then repeat the same process. Although it is very tiring, I
I’m very happy because no one will die in front of my eyes anymore.”
"But...is your divine grace enough?"
Xila couldn't help but ask: "You are not the chosen one. Your divine grace should not be enough to support this level of consumption of divine magic. If it is a big miracle, even you can only perform it twice in a row at most."
"That's right. But my mentor answered my prayer and gave me a new artifact."
Claudia smiled slightly: "That is the Scarlet Holy Grail filled with scarlet blood. It is rumored that this is the blood of the ancient evil beast 'Scourge'. During the War of the Gods, Erkart's Scarlet Knights were derived from the Scarlet Blood."
The strength gained from it.”
"...No, wait."
Xi La suddenly felt a chill in his back: "What have you done?"
"Just as you thought, I changed blood for them."
Claudia answered without hesitation: "I did this after asking each of them for their opinions and getting their permission."
"As a result, they have become animalistic. After the ritual is completed, even if they don't need to eat, a steady stream of scarlet blood will be produced from their hearts, and the poisonous black blood will be squeezed out from the wounds on their limbs. Their bodies are undergoing transformation.
, every day becomes different. The best change is that their blood has regained its color, and they can even lift their bodies and become stronger."
"In order not to trouble other people, they have been tying sterilized oak sticks to their severed limbs since yesterday morning, moving their limbs and trying to squeeze out the old blood. After a full week, Iris
The flowers in the swamp were also poisoned by the blood, and the swamp turned dark red. Since yesterday, the hot blood even made the swamp start to bubble, exuding an unpleasant smell.
"
"Those children also wanted to repay their kindness. They spread their blood on the outermost edge of the swamp, letting the unpleasant, disgusting stench that could even make people infected with the plague drive away the priests and Templars who came to investigate. This is
The only thing they can do."
Claudia said calmly.
Xi La was completely speechless.
The formation of this strange new order was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Xiela who believed from the bottom of his heart that "God's laws and enforcement power are the source of order."
"...But won't they lose their minds?" Xiela asked as if struggling.
"So what?"
Claudia asked back: "They were still children. When I cut off their limbs, they were almost completely paralyzed and their internal organs began to rot, but they didn't cry. They accepted my surgery with a smile."
"These children are already strong enough. They have done everything they can. The rest is up to us adults."
Claudia looked at Xiela meaningfully: "Do you know what you should do now?"
"...I think I understand."
Xila's eyes became firm again.
"I think I understand."
In the Black Fire Bar, the man in black robe suddenly spoke, and his buzzing voice attracted everyone's attention: "I roughly understand... what the gods think."
With that said, he took off his hood, revealing a crow-like beak mask that completely covered his face.
He buzzed and said: "Let me introduce myself, everyone...my name is Kakarit. I swear on my honor, soul and ancestors that everything I say next is not a lie." (To be completed.)
