Chapter 603 The Poems and Secrets of Ishrunachi in the Painted World
There are many ancient books in the church, and it took Sakura a long time to sort them out. Compared with sorting out these ancient books, managing the affairs of the church can only be regarded as entertainment after work.
Such a large collection of books cannot be found elsewhere in the world of Ishruna, and only the church has such a rich collection.
The collection of books compiled by Sakura is more about the background of the world. Each of these ancient books has a history of thousands of years.
"These contents seem...somewhat obscure."
Olga Marie was flipping through a projected ancient book. The name of this ancient book is "Poetry of Red". It is a poem written by people in ancient times praising the first fire.
"I've already read that one."
Sakura heard Olga Marie's complaint and came over curiously,
"It is indeed very obscure. After all, it is an ancient text in this world. The content is almost like this."
She paused, then cleared her throat, lowered her voice, and imitated the narrator's voice, speaking vividly.
"At the beginning of the world, all there was was chaos and the ancient dragons living in the chaos. I don't know how long it took, but the first fire appeared in the world. The original holy king understood the true meaning of the flame and obtained the king soul of the flame. From then on,
Chaos is no longer there, and there is vitality.”
"Later, as time passed, the first fire gradually died out, and the new Holy King embarked on the journey. He rang the three bells, and with the sound of the bells, opened the way to the temple, and poured the souls of the king and the god into it.
In the first fire, the flame continues."
"Okay, that's pretty much the content."
Sakura spread her hands and continued,
"The Poem of Red is considered to be the oldest book. Many books are extended from the Book of Red. No one can tell the specific author of this book. Some people think that this book is completely fictional.
After all, no one knows what happened before the world of Ishruna was opened."
"Whether the content of this book is true or not, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
"There is still such content here."
Gray suddenly pointed at a book and said.
"It is not the Holy King who becomes the fire bearer, but the Fire Bearer who becomes the Holy King. The king's soul is the best fuel for the first fire."
"It looks a little bad."
Olga Marie pursed her lips and frowned slightly,
"Should the fire bearer be used as a sacrifice? If that's the case..."
As she spoke, she looked in Sakura's direction.
"By the way, Sakura. Do you know that the church has a way to leave this world?"
"The church does have such a method. I have asked Sister Gullweger about it and even saw the device with my own eyes."
"That device?"
Olga Marie noticed Sakura's words.
"That's right, something similar to the teleportation magic array seems to be in perfect condition, but it lacks the energy to operate. It needs the power of the first fire to break through the space and open the way to other worlds."
"It's just that the first fire has been extinguished now, and the final fire lacks firewood and cannot be rekindled, but..."
Sakura suddenly frowned, as if she thought of something.
"The fire should be kept in the hands of the priest, but I have lived in the church for a month and have not seen the priest. Every time the topic of flames is mentioned, Sister Gullweger is always vague, but I can learn from her words.
It feels like she doesn’t respect Chu Huo as much as others, and even... hates it?"
"From these ancient books, I found that the church was not originally opposed to the fire bearers, and would even provide them with help and guidance."
Suddenly Gray spoke. She had been reading books about spreading fire and the church.
If these ancient books are remembered correctly, during the process of the second generation Holy King spreading fire, the church sent an envoy named "Fire Prevention Girl" to assist the fire spreader.
The third generation, the fourth generation, the fifth generation... it has always been like this. Every once in a while, the initial fire will fade, and at this time, the fire bearer needs to use the king's soul as fuel to rekindle it.
But Gray was keenly aware that these intervals were different. As the number of fire transmissions increased, they became shorter and shorter, until eight hundred years ago, the first fire declined and no new fire transmitters appeared.
, the first fire went out, and the world fell into a snowstorm.
Gray didn't know why the Firebringer didn't appear that time. The changes in the church also started at that time. Not only would they no longer help the Firebringer, they would even kill them.
But why is the church changing like this?
If the purpose of spreading fire is to save the world of Ishruna, why doesn't the church that maintains world order continue to do this?
Although according to ancient books, there is a limit to spreading fire, but it is indeed the only effective way to continue the world. Why not continue?
Gray was puzzled, but she already had a vague guess in her mind. Maybe the reason behind this was the key to unlocking all the current problems.
After a while, the sun unknowingly set in the west, and then they read through these ancient books.
………
"In short, we are what we call outsiders in this world. But compared with those rare people who choose to stay in this world, we must return to our original world."
Olga Marie was the first to say that after reading these ancient books, it was time for them to communicate and discuss with each other. They used to learn magic knowledge in the clock tower, and they often did this.
It is said that this method was proposed by Mikael's brother. He called this learning method "group learning" and promoted it in Animusfia. So far, the effect is still very significant.
"I just want to leave this world. The currently known way is to use the church's teleportation array. However, the First Fire has been extinguished, so the teleportation array cannot be used."
Sakura continued, turning her head to look in Gray's direction and smiling.
"So Gray, what do you think?"
"Eh - my opinion..."
Gray tightened his clothes slightly nervously and stammered, but when he saw Sakura's encouraging smile, his nervousness disappeared inexplicably.
"Well...if we want to leave the world of Ishruna, we must spread the fire and rekindle the initial fire, so that we can use the teleportation array to leave, but spreading the fire..."
Gray hesitated for a moment, then continued,
"I don't think passing fire is as good a thing as it seems."
"I agree with Gray-chan on this point."
"Gray...chan?"
Olga Marie was a little unresponsive.
"Yeah, don't you think Gray-chan sounds cute... Ah, I'm a little off topic. Anyway, I also investigated some things in the church, which is about the fire bearers of the past. Among them, I found something
