Chapter 402: Skeletons Revealed to the Light of Day
Mira used to be a saint of the Holy Spirit Church. In her opinion, when trouble of this level occurs, the Holy Spirit Church should be the first organizational group to respond. Even if the situation is bad, it will send priests to investigate. However, so far she has seen
Among the people, not one is wearing the priestly robes of the Holy Spirit Church.
Mo Xiao knew why Mira asked this, but given the current predicament of the Holy Spirit Church, it was probably not that they didn’t send people, but that they couldn’t send people at all. There was only one church in a city as big as Mori Lanka, and the number of priests was two hands.
They can count them all, and they don't know magic, and their combat effectiveness is about the same as that of ordinary mercenaries. How can we send them? What's the use even if they come?
Mo Xiao sighed and said what he was thinking directly, which caused Mira to be silent for a while. She didn't need to say more about her feelings for the Holy Spirit Church. She felt very sad when she heard that the church was in such a bad situation now.
When the Eternal Guard was sealed, the priests of the Holy Spirit Church were almost extinct. Mira had actually predicted the decline of the Holy Spirit Church, but it was only confirmed now.
Salomon didn't know why. He only knew that Mira was an ancient person, but he didn't know his identity. However, he was the prince of a kingdom. Needless to say, he had the ability to observe people's emotions. He could easily detect Mira's extremely disappointed mood. Therefore,
Didn't say anything.
Mira took a deep breath to sort out her thoughts, and whispered: "Has the Holy Light been lost?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Anedel. Only he might know the answer.
Apart from the ancients Ling Dang and Mira, in the demon world and the present world, Anadel is the only individual Mo Xiao and the others have discovered who uses the Holy Light, and they have also learned a little bit about it. Even in the Holy Spirit Church, there has been no new use of the Holy Light for a long time.
The one.
"No, but there are only a handful of people who understand the Holy Light. Only one has appeared in the past ten years." Anadel shook his head and said his first sentence so far.
"...That's fine." Mira was relieved, with a smile on her lips.
Losing the complete inheritance of the Holy Light is like a magician losing the basic spell structure. It is difficult to awaken the Holy Light by faith alone, and it is already unexpected.
Mo Xiao moved his mouth but made no sound. He suspected that what Anadel was talking about was a bell. If his guess was true, wouldn't it mean that no new Holy Light Mage has appeared in the demon world in the past ten years?
"You have an obvious aura of holy light on your body, and you are not a priest." Mira affirmed with bright eyes.
Hearing this, Salomon wanted to say something, but Anadel interrupted him with his hand. He nodded and said: "I am naturally friendly to the Holy Light. I am currently the royal advisor to Bestow. As for the rest..."
Anadel's eyes swept over Mo Xiao and others: "...It's not convenient for me to tell you at the moment."
His gaze was very direct and he did not hide anything. Mo Xiao knew clearly in his heart that Anadel didn't want them to hear... His attitude was very obvious. He was probably worried that the mercenary identities of himself and others would be easily leaked.
Mo Xiao suddenly had a plan in his mind. If there was a chance, he could arrange for Mira and Anadel to communicate privately... If there was no chance, he would find a way to create an opportunity.
Mo Xiao gave Mira a look, and the latter understood it and made a gesture with one hand. Mo Xiao, who had experienced dreams, immediately understood the meaning of the gesture, which meant that she understood.
They still have this little tacit understanding.
Judging from Salomon's attitude, Anaidel's status seems to be very high...almost on an equal footing with Salomon. The royal advisor is not so great, right? Mo Xiao doesn't know, so he can only make a bold guess.
Seeing that their exchange was over, Salomon coughed lightly and looked at Mira: "Let me tell you about the recent investigation results of the investigation team. First of all, we found human limbs in the Kenlak ruins."
"What kind of stump is it?" Mira looked over doubtfully, and then added, "Is there a real thing?"
"Of course."
Salomon raised his hand, and the guards behind him left immediately. After a while, he came back with a square suitcase.
The suitcase was opened by the guards, and inside was a semi-rotted arm covered with black tumors. There were a few bone spurs growing on the bones between the rotten flesh, which were gray in color. Some of the bone spurs even pierced the skin. The index finger was missing and the fractures were uneven.
Qi, it makes people’s hair stand on end.
Mira looked at it for a while, touched it with her hands and turned it over. She frowned and said, "I have some thoughts... Are there many stumps like this?"
Salomon replied: "It's not too many. We tried our best to put together the body parts that were found. There are about ten people. Of course, there may be some that have not been found, so it is not the final data."
"Were the stumps found inside the ruins?" Mira said this sentence with a strong emphasis on the word "inside".
If it is outside the ruins, then the owner of the mutilated limbs may have died recently, otherwise how could it not be completely decomposed or directly turned into corpses? But if it is inside the ruins... the situation is difficult to say.
The ruins of Kenlak were previously hidden underground and were discovered only recently. No one visited them before the discovery.
"That's right, after you left last time, we made preparations and then explored. Knowing the problem of the ruins, we thought of many ways to prevent sleeping and save ourselves." Salomon confirmed Mira's guess and pointed to the suitcase.
"Then we found them."
Mira was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "This arm comes from a priest who has not withdrawn from the Holy Spirit Church. It should belong to the Holy Church Hall, a priest directly under His Majesty the Pope."
Salomon suddenly became solemn: "I will arrange for people to transport it back to the Holy Spirit Church and preserve the remains according to the treatment of saints."
"No, don't do that."
Mira said as she waved her hand and scattered a piece of holy light. Under the influence of the holy light, the remains in the suitcase slowly turned into a small pile of white sand, and disappeared completely into the air with a gentle blow.
