11. Forbidden

"They want to force you to show up in this way, and then set up a trap to ambush you!"

"If you go there rashly..."

The old bishop reminded him very seriously.

Gallo nodded and replied very solemnly:

"I also guessed this possibility before."

"But even so, I still want to go."

"Because the goddess said, don't anger others, don't bring disaster to innocent people."

The old bishop sighed helplessly, probably knowing that he could not persuade him, so he could only change his words:

"Then you must be careful."

"The opponent is a mage, and magic is a very dangerous force!"

"Even I must be cautious when meeting a mage."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Gallo replied quickly, clenched his fists in front of his chest again, as if to cheer himself up, and continued:

"Although my strength is not good, I have the blessing of the goddess!"

"And passion, courage, friendship, love, hope, possibility..."

Seeing his serious look, the old bishop hesitated to speak, but then he thought about it and reminded him again:

"Compared with this, I'm more worried that if they die, things will become more sensitive, and those innocent people will still be unable to be saved..."

Gallo thought for a while and asked:

"You mean, I go directly to prison?"

"No, no, no!"

The old bishop waved his hands repeatedly.

"I mean, it's best to find a way to let them release the person first."

"Then I will ask them to repent, reflect on themselves, and repent, so that they can become good people and let them go on their own initiative, right?"

Gallo asked.

"But I'm worried that they will repent directly to death..." the old bishop replied with a strange expression.

Gallo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Even if they use the least powerful magic, these people can do such crazy things. They are already evil. When they repent, they will definitely be ashamed and choose to commit suicide.

What should I do? I no longer have any less powerful magic...

He carefully recalled the magical arts he had seen, and suddenly remembered a magical technique that he had almost forgotten: persuasion.

This is a forbidden technique.

It's not that it's forbidden by the goddess or the world, but it's listed as a forbidden technique by Gallo himself.

The effect of this magical technique is to make it easier for people to believe in their own sect and to make preaching easier.

Anyway, it's the kind of magic that affects other people's thoughts.

But it is only effective for ordinary people who have weak aspirations and sincere beliefs, and the effect is not very good.

But it violates doctrine.

It is clearly written in the scriptures: "Everyone who believes in our Lord does so voluntarily and cannot be forced."

As a devout believer, Gallo would certainly not use this kind of magic to force people to believe in religion.

He didn't even know why there was this magic in the basement library.

The old bishop told him that similar tricks can be found in most sects, but they only have different degrees of influence on people.

For those used by orthodox religions, the effect is also very slight; but if used by cults, it is likely to be a powerful bewitchment and charm.

You can use your own sect, but you cannot live without it.

So Gallo didn't dwell on the matter anymore and just put the forbidden technique behind him. It was only after thinking about it carefully today that he remembered it.

"Perhaps, I can use that magical skill: persuasion."

The old bishop couldn't help but be stunned.

"Didn't you classify him as a forbidden technique yourself?"

"And even if you use this forbidden technique, it will only make bad people believe in religion. It won't solve the actual problem, right?"

Gallo thought for a moment and replied:

"I can modify this forbidden technique so that its effect can guide the good thoughts in their hearts and make them want to become a good person."

"In this way, it does not violate the doctrine and can achieve the purpose."

"This time the situation is special. I am also trying to save those innocent people. I believe the goddess will forgive me for my transgression."

The old bishop was stunned for a while, and then asked tentatively:

"But I remember that although the effect of persuasion is average, it is a fifth-level magic, right?"

"Well, so it's relatively simple."

Gallo nodded.

"You want to modify a fifth-level magic?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be difficult, right? It just takes some time."

"If it were my senior brother who came here, it would be done in a few minutes, right?"

"Ahem...Yes, with your senior brother's talent, this kind of thing must be easy."

The old bishop coughed a few times and said.

Gallo asked again:

"Then I'll go to the basement to look for the forbidden technique first. Can you help me divine the locations of the Baron's nephew and Captain Martin first?"

"Maybe it will be disturbed, but I can try..."

So the two of them acted independently without telling Old John and others who had taken refuge in the church, and soon returned to Gallo's bedroom.

Gallo had an old and yellowed parchment in his hand, while the old bishop was twisting a pocket.

He first took out a map of the Innocence City from his pocket and spread it on the desk. Then he took out several candles, flower petals, copper coins and other divination tools.

The old bishop first lit four candles and placed them at the four corners of the map.

Then he muttered some words and threw the petals randomly.

The petals fell one after another on the map, forming a faint circle.

The old bishop then started tossing the copper coin and kept asking various questions:

"in the city?"

"On the outskirts of town?"

"Is it a private residence?"

"Is it a villa?"

He used the results of the two sides of the copper coin as his answer, and kept narrowing the range circled by the petals.

In the end, the petals only surrounded a remote villa on the outskirts of the city. It looked like a very deserted place with no one around.

That was the result of his divination.

The old bishop could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said:

"This is it!"

Gallo quickly wrote down the address and praised sincerely:

"Divination is such a magical ability!"

"It's a pity that I can't learn..."

In fact, divination, like divine healing, is the most basic traditional skill in the priest profession, and most priests can do it.

Even the fortune tellers outside, many are former clergy.

But Gallo just can't learn...

Even the simplest healing magic can't be used, and when he imitates the old bishop for divination, he always gets completely wrong results.

He felt that this should also be the effect of being resurrected once.

But it doesn't matter. The old bishop is an expert in this field and is very good at healing and divination.

Therefore, in his eyes, the old bishop must be that kind of terrifying master who could not only master things that he could never learn, but also teach such a powerful senior brother.

It's just that he strictly abides by the teachings and behaves in a low-key and reserved manner, so outsiders don't even know.

Although the two of them usually get along very casually, Gallo admires the old bishop from the bottom of his heart, so he believes every word he says.
