Early in the morning, Ling dragged a huge trolley suitcase and visited the cathedral located in the west neighborhood of Grancel.
This is the third time that Ling has come to Grancel Cathedral. The first time was on October 1st, and the second time was on October 6th. But unlike the previous two times, this time she came alone.
, not with Wiseman.
Because she had been here before during the day, some nuns recognized her identity. After learning that she planned to visit Archbishop Callan, the nun immediately went to the sacrament room to inform her.
After getting permission, Ling went to the room where the archbishop was. At this moment, he was the only one in the room.
"It's Miss Astley. Isn't Mr. Wiseman here?" Archbishop Callan's first sentence was to ask about Wiseman's situation.
"Uncle Wiseman has encountered some troubles, so I will do what he promised you before."
Ling opened the trolley case, and inside was a record book as thick as a brick, totaling forty-seven volumes.
"The "Memorial of the Free City" is indeed written in Gulibel. Miss Astre, you are so thoughtful. I didn't expect you to be able to rescue these important materials before the floating city disappears. On behalf of the Qiyao Church, I would like to thank you.
help."
"Each volume records about ten years of the history of the floating city, and the total is only four hundred and seventy years... There must be some parts that I haven't found yet."
"No, this is enough. As a first-hand historical material to restore human civilization before the Great Collapse, any one of them is a priceless treasure, not to mention there are so many."
Archbishop Karan couldn't hide his joy. Probably, for church clerks, nothing is more interesting to them than ancient historical records. Of course Ling can understand this feeling, she is not that interested in historical materials.
What she is interested in is technical information. If she hadn't set an alarm clock reminder in arcus, she would definitely continue to be immersed in the ocean of knowledge and not want to come out.
This box of books is a copy of the historical text left by the Sky Familiar. The main body is a virtual book stored in the information system as data. After Ling read it at a glance, he printed them all directly with the 3D printer in the floating city.
Qiyao Church needed the original text without any translation, so Ling did not spend a lot of time doing this.
"Archbishop, I have been authorized by the supervisor to handle the follow-up of this matter. I want to confirm the meaning of Qiyao Church. The disappearance of the Ring of Glory has been confirmed by the church, right?"
"Yes, I have received notification from the Codex Country that the ancient First Covenant has collapsed. Miss Astrey, you don't have to worry. Our Ceremony Province has reached an internal consensus and will not continue to pursue this matter."
"But that's not necessarily the case in the canonized province, but forget it. In terms of the subsequent impact, Archbishop Karan, you will help with the aftermath, right?"
"Of course, Miss Astrey can rest assured. Maintaining peace and stability on the mainland has always been the goal of our Qiyao Church. The expansion of chaos is not the result our church wants to see."
"What did you say? Then I'll just leave it alone."
After receiving a positive answer, Ling left the Great Hall with her empty trolley suitcase.
Because the floating city only appeared above Lake Valyria for a short period of time, and did not even appear during the day, this matter became an open case for all parties.
However, Archbishop Callan of the Seven Glory Church Cathedral came forward to speak out. The rectors of Perth Chapel, Luan Chapel, Chase Chapel, and Lorente Chapel also agreed with Archbishop Callan. Grantham, the capital of Libert
The citizens of Seoul readily accepted the explanation of the goddess's miracles.
The Kingdom of Libel quickly recovered after a series of incidents. Due to proper handling, the interruption of the guidance for half a night did not cause any substantial losses. And the number of citizens going to worship in churches in various places ushered in an explosion.
sexual growth.
The Church of Qiyao stated that it was responsible for the miracles of the goddess, and the people who witnessed the miracles seemed to have regained their faith in the goddess. After the Guidance Revolution, the influence of the church declined slightly on the continent of Samria.
, especially the Kingdom of Liber, which has the most developed force-guiding technology. This situation is quite beneficial to them, and they have gained a large number of believers in vain.
In Ling's view, the Qiyao Church took over the responsibility mainly because it did not cause any big impact. If the guidance was stopped for several days like in the original plot of "Trajectory in the Sky", the Qiyao Church would definitely not have the same attitude now.
"Have a sense of reverence for the goddess. Don't think that humans can ignore the goddess's advice and do whatever they want just because of the convenience brought by the Guidance Revolution. The goddess can take away human guidance at any time!"
Ling could even hear such a conversation while walking on Grancel Street. The pastor of the church would definitely not say that, but some believers would have such wild imaginations. It seemed to have become a hot topic.
The Body-Eating Snake has benefited, the Kingdom of Liber has benefited, and the Qiyao Church has also benefited.
In terms of turning the gospel project into a win-win or even a win-win situation for everyone, Ling finally feels that she has done a good job, and she will have a sense of accomplishment.
After Dr. Russell obtained the information crystal, he immediately found Cassius.
Cassius saw the information on eye surgery on the guidance terminal and immediately thought of a certain young patient he also knew.
When he heard that the provider of the information was Ling, Cassius immediately realized that this was a gift from Ling to Arios.
"The Body-Eating Snake is really unfathomable. It even has such detailed clinical information. Little Titta, did the child say anything when he crystallized the information to you?"
"Ling-chan said you might be able to use this information." Tida relayed Ling's words to Cassius.
"It seems that I accept her kindness. Thank her for me."
"Uncle Cassius, don't you go to the historical museum to meet her? I heard that Ling lives here now." Tiida asked.
"Yeah...that's what I said. Then I'll go visit her in person after the matter at hand is resolved."
Obviously, Ling Mingming had met everyone, but Cassius had never met Ling once. It was not that he deliberately avoided it, it was just a coincidence.
When Miss Licia, the front desk clerk of the historical museum, knocked on the door and informed Ling that a visitor wanted to see her, Ling was somewhat surprised by the identity of the visitor.
"Mr. Cassius Bright, the former S-class guerrilla swordsman of Liber Kingdom, right?"
The brown-haired middle-aged man walked into Ling's study and curiously looked at the ancient documents she was translating. It didn't seem to be a collection of poems or abstracts, but some formulas that he couldn't understand.
"Well, can I call you Xiaoling?"
"It's okay to call me that if you want. For Joshua's sake, I won't mind. Anyway, you should have heard about me from Joshua." Ling said to Cassius.
replied.
"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. When I saw you, you gave me a familiar feeling. This isn't the first time we've met, right?"
"This way of striking up a conversation is very old-fashioned. This is the first time we meet face to face."
Of course she had seen it many times, when Joshua failed in his assassination, during the attack on the Fortress of the Sun, and not long ago near the Old Road of Agria. But she would never admit it any time.
"Well, let's just treat it like this. I want to thank you on behalf of Arios. With the information you provided, his daughter's eye disease can finally be cured."
"It can only be said that it is the possibility of cure. So, this is what you came here to talk about? If you want to ask me about the association, I will not disclose it."
"Haha, that's not the case. I just wanted to see who the sister that Joshua can't forget is."
Although she didn’t know what Joshua said to Cassius, Ling didn’t pay much attention to it. Cassius returned to serve as the commander of the Royal Army, while Ling returned to the Erebonian Empire as her
Scholars, there will be no intersection between the two in the future.
"But, is it really appropriate for you to still hold that stick? Although you are very powerful when using a stick, the sword master will be more handsome with a sword, right?"
"You are not the first person to persuade me to pick up the sword again. But at least I don't have that plan yet."
"Just like Valut, he still cares about face. Since I put down the sword back then, where will my face be when I pick up the sword now?"
"Hey, I didn't think so, it was for other reasons." Cassius quickly denied.
"But that's a weapon you started using when you were young, right? I heard you've been using a stick for ten years, but you've been holding a sword for longer, right? You sealed the sword because you were heartbroken. Your sword must be crying.
.If it is really as I guessed..."
Ling only thought of it when Levi and Ling talked about Arios' weapons. If the sharp sword Xunyu and the sharp sword Falcon Wind are both ancient swords with spirituality, then it is really too much to be abandoned by their master for ten years.
It's pitiful. According to Ling's observations in the underground area and the Amber Tower, Alan Richard's sword is not the sharp sword Swift Feather, it is just an ordinary steel sword. In the plot of "Kiseum in the Sky FC",
His tachi was even interrupted by fantasy music. According to Ling's guess, Xunyu hasn't unsheathed it for ten years after being abandoned by his master.
"I regard the sword as my partner and half of my body. When I need it, the sword will respond to me. Maybe you will think this is a kind of 'fetish'... It depends on you.
With a look of disbelief on your face, just pretend I didn’t say it.”
"Hmm...Xiaoling, do you think the sword is alive?"
"Correction, not as a fact, but as a fact. However, not all weapons can be used, but your sharp sword Xunyu will probably be fine."
Ling's guess is not unfounded, at least she remembered a very impressive episode in the plot. In "Trajectory in the Sky 3rd", Xunyu's initial str is 1000, but after a certain event, it can be released to str1550.
Falcon Wind's str1500 is still high. This phenomenon can be completely explained by Levi's theory of sword spirit master selection.
"I understand, I will consider your advice carefully."
After hearing the unprecedented remarks, Cassius seemed a little hesitant. If it was true as Ling said, then he might have hurt his most important partner in these years.
After that, Cassius was a little absent-minded and just casually chatted with Ling about Joshua before leaving.
"This is probably the so-called favoring one over the other. I'm so talkative." Ling immediately regretted it after Cassius left. She could see that the treasure stick Cassius was using was also a weapon made of Samlian stone.
, although it has been four years since Cassius got the Kirin Tool, he still has not become spiritually integrated with it. However, as long as Cassius keeps using it, sooner or later he will reach the level of mental connection.
Cassius came to the Intelligence Ministry station and found Alan Richard, and asked him about the sword that had been given to him.
Cassius' sharp sword Swift Feather was given to Alan Richard when he left the Liberian Army, but Richard never used it because he felt he was not qualified. After learning that Cassius had re-
After receiving the intention of taking the sword, Richard was overjoyed and immediately took the sword out of his safe and handed it back to Cassius.
When Cassius grasped the hilt of the sword with his palm and pulled out the sword that had not been seen for ten years from the scabbard, a feeling as if it was connected to the flesh and blood of his arm came from the sword.
Sheathing the sword, Cassius took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
After Cassius left the Ministry of Intelligence station, he went to the Partisan Association.
"Welcome, Mr. Cassius. Huh?"
After Ainan saw Cassius walking in, he immediately saw the weapon on his waist.
"Are Arios and Estelle here?"
"It just so happens that they are all upstairs. Joshua is also together."
"That's good."
After saying hello to Ainan, Cassius went straight upstairs to the training room of the Guerrilla Association. As soon as he walked in, he saw Estelle constantly challenging Arios, and Joshua
Yaze stared at Arios's movements intently.
When Reinhardt and Arios were sparring, Joshua was also watching. Although Reinhardt was better, he had no intention of giving up the Eight Leaves Itto style. Reinhardt also told him that his style
The training method pays more attention to strength, and it may not be more suitable for Joshua to practice than the dexterous and versatile Eight Leaves Itto Style. After all, Joshua's physique is not strong, but is good at mobility.
After Arios forced Estelle back again, he signaled Estelle to stop, then turned and looked in the direction of the door.
"Senior Brother Cassius, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, there is no need to avoid Estelle and Joshua."
Cassius explained the ins and outs of the matter to the three of them, and learned that Ling had kindly given away eye surgery materials for free.
"Little drops of eyes, ah!" Arios was at a loss for a moment.
"Cheer up, there is hope, this is a good thing."
Cassius patted Arios on the shoulder. Then he put his hand on his waist. Following his line of sight, Arios noticed that in addition to the stick behind his back, Cassius also carried a third
Two weapons.
"This is...senior brother, your sword?"
"Yes, just like you, I got this ancient sword for practice when I became a disciple of Master Yun. I plan to return to serve in the Royal Army and pick up the sword again. You should understand what this means, right?"
"Brother, you are so strong." Arios' tone was trembling.
"No, I'm not as strong as you think. Even worse than you, but I have Estelle, who gives me hope to survive. Arios, you and I are so similar. We
Although my lover has passed away, our daughter is still alive. Now that there is a direction for treatment, you should be more open-minded."
Cassius picked up the sword again as proof that he had emerged from the shadows. This was to encourage Arios. After listening to his words, Arios nodded hard. He was obviously a big man, but he endured
I couldn't help but shed tears.
"Uncle Arios!" Estelle was about to speak, but was stopped by Cassius with a wave of his hand.
"This is a matter between our senior brothers. Estelle and Joshua, just watch."
Arios's silent crying shocked both young men. They had never thought that Arios had such a weak side.
After a few minutes, Arios finally calmed down his emotions.
"I made everyone laugh. I was really suppressing the sorrow in my heart and suddenly I couldn't control myself. Senior brother, I really don't know how to thank you."
Of course, the trauma of the soul cannot be overcome so easily. But if you vent it a little, you will feel much better.
"As a senior brother, it is your duty to care for your junior fellow apprentices. I have been really shameful in the past few years." Cassius extended his right hand to Arios, "From now on, we senior brothers must also support each other.
Help each other. You can rely on me more, and I will rely on you more."
Arios also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Cassius. Although there was a seventeen-year age difference between them, they had the same illness and were the ones who could best understand each other.
"Next, Estelle, I want to hand this weapon to you." Cassius took off the unicorn weapon from his back and handed it to Estelle.
"Its name is Qilin Gear. Although this weapon may be too heavy for you now, I believe you will be able to gain its approval one day."
"Huh? Approved for weapons? Dad, what are you talking about?"
Estelle didn't understand what Cassius meant.
"Haha, Estelle, you don't have to think so much. Although it may not be as easy to use as the Tai Chi stick when you first get started, it will become more and more comfortable soon. Arios, you should understand what I am talking about, right?"
"Senior brother, I remember that this stick was a trophy after the war four years ago. Is it made of that kind of material? I see, I understand what you mean. It is indeed as senior brother said. Although my Falcon Wind is not the best.
It's sharp, but even those high-end auction weapons that blow hair, cut gold, and cut iron are not as easy to use as it. Master Yun has given us disciples the best weapons from the beginning."
"Well, okay, since it's dad who said it, I'll accept it."
When Estelle took over the Kirin Gear from Cassius, something wonderful happened that no one expected.
Along with the faint light, the appearance of the Kirin tool, which originally exuded a mysterious luster, completely changed its appearance, becoming no different from a practice stick.
"Eh?" Estelle didn't realize what happened.
"The legend of the Eastern Samlian continent seems to be true." After Arios finished speaking, Estelle roughly guessed what happened.
"I understand, I will work hard to make this Kirin tool recognize me." Estil clenched her fist and said.
"Could it be that the weapon Levi gave me yesterday is also...?"
After looking at everyone's weapons, Joshua thought for a moment and took out the two swords of Xingyunliushui from his combined scabbard. He handed the sword Xingyun to Arios and the sword Liushui to Ka.
Theus.
"The materials are indeed very similar, but they seem to be a little different. I can't tell you the specifics, senior brother, what do you think?" Arios compared Falcon Wind and Xingyun, and returned the sharp sword Xingyun to Yuexiu.
Ya.
"Well, let me use an analogy. I don't know if it's appropriate. If we look at these living weapons as human beings, then it seems that these weapons have not been 'born' yet? Well, let's put it this way, these pair of swords seem to be still alive.
It's just a 'sword embryo', not a real sword. I've heard that there is a theory of raising swords in the East Samlian continent, you can refer to it."
After Cassius returned the sword to Joshua, he told Joshua what he had heard from previous rumors. The first step in raising a sword is to get as close to the sword as possible, and take it with you when you eat.
Carry it with you when you go out, and keep it next to your bed when you sleep. If you have nothing to do, clean the sword more often and maintain the scabbard. Once it is damaged, try your best to repair it. The second step is to use it multiple times. Use this sword regularly to practice and fight.
Use this sword more. Finally, make the sword as obedient as your own arm, so that holding the sword is as easy as holding nothing.
"I understand, I will try to do it." Joshua is also looking forward to the moment when the flowing clouds and flowing water create spirituality.
