No matter what excuse Bishop Kino gave, Bishop Varian would only say lightly that this was His Majesty's intention.
Soon, Bishop Kino was defeated by this ruthless repeater, and could only say angrily:
"If you are free at 3 o'clock this afternoon, you can bring them here."
"Yeah." Bishop Varian nodded and suddenly said, "Regarding Bishop Langdon, it's a pity that none of us thought of it."
"Why, His Majesty asked you to test me?" Bishop Kino looked embarrassed and asked sarcastically.
"No, it's my own intention." Varian replied, "Judging from the anger you showed at this time, you should have had no knowledge of Bishop Langdon's plan beforehand."
"So what?" Bishop Kino snorted coldly, "He doesn't trust me because if I were involved, I would never agree to such an overly radical plan as the ectoplasm tree."
"However, compared to the ridiculous purification goals of human purists, I am more pessimistic about your revisionist path. Extraordinary people are extraordinary people. At best, they will only become ignorant administrative bureaucrats, but they will never understand
What kind of dedication does it take to invest in our scientific research, let alone lead us forward."
"I will be the next pope, not Nora." Varian said seriously, "The 'layman guiding the expert' you mentioned is impossible."
"Come on, your majesty has already designated to canonize her." Bishop Chino sneered again and again, "Unless you always keep the same pace from now on, once you have a disagreement, who will the cardinals listen to? The Pope or the angels on earth? You guys?
This is sowing the seeds of division in the Holy See!"
"These are just conjectures and suspicions." Varian disagreed, "Don't forget, Nora is my biological sister."
"I hope that when you face a living saint in the future, you can order her like your sister, Varian." Bishop Kino waved his hand, signaling that the conversation was over.
That afternoon, Bishop Varian arrived again with several people from the Blue Sword.
Nora, Sheila and Mia, as well as the leader Aske.
Bishop Kino looked at the three young girls who needed the induction law with an expressionless face.
They are too young!
Even Nora, the eldest of the three, Varian's biological sister, looks like she is in her early twenties. Sheila is probably underage, and as for Mia... little girls of this age should stay at home and study.
, instead of running around the world playing mercenary games!
Although he knew these people beforehand, the data on paper was not as real as seeing it with his own eyes. In an instant, Bishop Kino even had the idea of doubting Raphael.
Is there some bug in it that led to the classification of these young and fragile girls? Considering that even Bishop Langdon could easily tamper with Raphael's data, Bishop Chino also began to doubt the authenticity of this rating.
Could it be that His Majesty the Holy See did it himself? He purposely packed a bunch of people into the level to confuse the situation. In fact, it was just to pave the way for Varian's sister's future.
There are even strange rumors among bishops recently, saying that what the Holy See is doing is not to betray the technology camp and engage in transcendentalism, but to try to find a new technology camp route with the characteristics of the Holy See...
It sounds exactly like the theory in Olympia City. "In fact, the existence of extraordinary power is a normal physical phenomenon. We must prevent the stigmatization of extraordinary power and make it variable, usable, and controllable." Barabara.
"Come in." Bishop Kino calmed down his divergent thoughts and said calmly.
When he turned around, he suddenly remembered that the little girl named "Sheila" in the middle was, according to the information, the former empress of the Eastern Solomon Empire, Theodora, and the granddaughter of the Lord of Olympia, Appirius.
Is there really a connection between the Holy See and the city of Olympia?
Such thoughts arose in his mind and lingered for a long time.
Arriving in the data monitoring room, Bishop Chino turned around and asked:
"Come one by one, which one of you goes first?"
"Me." Sheila said.
"Yeah. Just lie down in the data connection cabin." Bishop Chino nodded and said.
Sheila lay down in the connection cabin, while Varian squatted beside the cabin and told her what was going to happen next:
"The data connection cabin will use holographic technology to take you into a virtual world."
"This world was carefully designed by Raphael to guide you to understand the laws specified by induction."
"In order to ensure a sense of immersion, your computerized body in the virtual world is exactly the same as your real body, and you can use it smoothly including extraordinary abilities."
"Disasters and enemies designed by virtual programs may far exceed your ability to cope. We have designed emergency safety procedures to ensure that if you encounter a force majeure attack, we will try to stop the program before you are killed."
"But this is not a panacea. Once you are killed in the virtual world, it will damage your self-perception. Some experimental subjects experienced phantom limb pain, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations and other phenomena after returning to the real world, so even if
This is a virtual world, so you have to work hard to survive and don’t die easily, you know?”
"I know." Sheila said.
On the other side, Bishop Chino has arrived at the monitoring cubicle, and several priests are finalizing the online program.
"What script did Raphael choose?" Bishop Chino asked.
"The law that Miss Sheila chose is 'natural disaster'." The priest replied, "Raphael chose the script of 'The Great Fire of Solomon City' during the reign of Nero in the early Fourth Age."
"Natural disaster?" Bishop Kino asked puzzledly, "What law is that?"
"Miss Sheila is talking about kataσtpoφ, which means 'disaster', 'disaster' and 'destruction' in the Cyrus language." The priest replied, "The closest law we found in Raphael's database is 'exitium'
', the word means 'destruction' in Latin."
"Of course, using language to summarize the law will inevitably have a distortion effect, so Raphael used a script close to exitium, which is the inendium of the Fourth Age, the huge fire that occurred in Solomon City."
"It is said that the fire started near the arena and spread rapidly under the strong winds of dry autumn. It lasted for seven days and seven nights. Three of the 14 districts in the city were completely burned, and seven were severely damaged, with the damage area reaching three
Two-thirds."
"I have an impression of this historical fact." Bishop Kino nodded. "It is said that Emperor Nero, who was in power at the time, privately prohibited the urban fire brigade from rescuing disaster-stricken neighborhoods, and instead asked them to set up isolation zones to protect dignitaries and nobles.
The rich area where the elders live.”
"Yes." The priest also replied, "Historical records indicate this, but there are even more speculations about other conspiracy theories. One theory is that it was nearly a hundred years since the demonic tide reached its peak, and there are signs of a decline soon."
"Once the demon tide recedes, no extraordinary person will be able to continue to advance. Emperor Nero was already of the arcane mage bloodline at that time, and sensed the ritual of 'exitium', which is the law of 'destruction'."
"So he is eager to complete the ritual mission, achieve promotion as soon as possible and extend his life before the demonic tide recedes. As for the fire that spread throughout Solomon City, it is actually part of his ritual mission."
"Is this Raphael's inference?" Bishop Chino asked.
"No, Raphael has no records in this regard. This is the speculation of later historians." The priest smiled, "However, Raphael can be deleted by the outside world, so we cannot completely rule out this possibility.
sex."
"Yes." Bishop Kino nodded and asked, "How difficult is the script?"
"Considering that the script itself is quite difficult, we have appropriately lowered the remaining unstable factors to ensure the cognitive safety of the experimenters." the priest replied.
"No." Bishop Kino hesitated and said seriously, "Adjust the difficulty to the maximum."
"The biggest?" The priest was surprised, "But..."
"Miss Sheila was brought by Bishop Varian, and there is no need to say much about her own strength." Bishop Chino said seriously, "The more difficult the script environment is, the more she can be forced into a life-and-death situation, thus pushing her to
Understand and sense the law."
"This..." The priest was embarrassed for a moment, "Okay."
