"I don't want anything." After hearing what John said, the little doll Nora shook her head. "Because from this flame, I heard the story of the victim, the story of the ancestor of the Passion Church.
.I feel that it is difficult for me to benefit from the sacrifice of this ancestor."
"Senior, what is going on?" John asked with a shocked look on his face. As a paladin of the Passion Church, he suddenly heard some news from outsiders about the sacred artifacts in his church that he did not know about.
He felt very shocked. Because according to the information he had, the Holy Grail was just a cup with powerful purification ability given to the church by the gods. There was no such thing as a so-called spirit.
"You should know how this cup was lost, Mr. John." Nora held the cup in both hands and looked at John and asked, "I think even if the Orthodox Church has lost some holy objects and is not in a hurry to find them, then
The meeting should record how those things were lost."
"Of course, our church has comprehensive records about this Holy Grail. And I checked those records carefully before setting off when I was looking for such a thing. I even found a magic item from the church that was specially used to find the church's holy objects.
Used to determine the location of sacred objects on this vast ocean."
"As a result, when we were halfway through, we accidentally found a signal representing the existence of the Holy Grail on that magic item. But we didn't expect that the Holy Grail was actually inside the moving island. Unfortunately, we were attacked by that thing from underwater.
The ship was completely destroyed, and people were sucked into the island——"
Having said this, John shook his head helplessly and showed a serious face. There were more than 30 people when they set off this time, but now there are only seven people rescued by Lawrence. After all, there is a swamp with powerful illusions.
The attack is on the human soul, and this attack is particularly fatal to most extraordinary beings, and not everyone can escape.
"Sorry, I just said too much." At this point, John apologized, then lowered his head and looked at the little doll Nora and said. "In the church's records, the Holy Grail has been used continuously for 150 years since its birth.
Use records. However, according to the last entry in the record, 60 years ago, a gold-level priest took this cup on a ship bound for the New World. However, the church in the New World did not receive this cup."
"To be precise, the ship was completely missing." John recounted the last records he had seen about each Holy Grail. "The church in the New World waited at the port for a week and then began to organize a search after the ship failed to arrive. However,
Nothing was found. The church even organized a large-scale sacrifice to pray for the oracle, but did not receive any answer."
Hearing John say this, Nora and Lawrence looked at each other. It was normal that the gods did not lock the location of this sacred object at that time. After all, in their personal experience, they found that the space should belong to another god.
Even though His power is far inferior to that of the God of Suffering, it is still very simple to hide this thing.
"Is the missing priest that year the old man with a long white beard and a piece missing from his left ear?" Nora asked after hearing this. As soon as Nora finished her words, John opened his eyes suddenly.
His eyes widened. "That's true, but how did you know? Because if I remember correctly, there is no portrait of that clergyman in the outside world."
"Because as long as I put my hand on this cup, I can't see an old man wearing a linen robe and about 1.75 meters tall talking to me." Nora looked at John seriously and said. "He told me that he and you
It’s the same name, both called John. It’s just that he said he was a priest who sacrificed himself in order to restrict the active island and bound the core of the island, making the island much less of a threat than before.”
"You just said that this great priest sacrificed himself 60 years ago to use this cup to bind the core of the island?" A sailor of Aboriginal origin who had been surrounding Lawrence and the others asked nervously. "This is
Did this really happen 60 years ago?"
"If there is no problem with our information just now, then this is indeed the case." Hearing the sailor describe his senior as great, John said with a kind smile and a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth. "You have
Is there something you want to tell us?"
"Yes, sir, I do have something to tell you." The fisherman was a little nervous at first, but John's unique paladin's ability to inspire him quickly calmed down, and then said, "If I
If I remember correctly, it was around 60 years ago that various sighting reports about the active island began to increase, and later it became a popular legend in the entire sea area."
"What do you mean?" John seemed a little confused when he heard this sentence, because what he just said was that the ancestors of the church more than 60 years ago sacrificed themselves to amplify the effect of the holy objects and sealed the core of the island, but
After listening to what the sailor said, I felt that the island seemed more active after the core was blocked.
"What he means is that the priest did greatly weaken the threat of this island after sacrificing himself." Lawrence heard the meaning contained in the sailor's words. "If it goes by, this island will
It has strong power, so it is basically impossible to let go of the victims when attacking passing ships. Only a few extremely lucky people can escape smoothly, so there is not much information about this strange island in this sea area.
legend."
"But after the sacrifice of that ancestor, his sacrifice greatly weakened the power of this island that attacks ships and lives everywhere. It is precisely because of this that so many people can still be able to see that strange island.
Survived and spread the legend in this sea area."
To put it bluntly, this is a kind of survivor bias. In the past, when the island was not weakened, many ships were destroyed because of that island, but they were only listed as inexplicably missing. But now, because the island has become weaker,
More people survived, and everyone knew why those ships were missing.
"If this is the case, this Holy Grail must be brought to the New World headquarters of the Passion Church in the capital of Elysium." Because it was previously known that the crew members on Lawrence's ship were absolutely reliable, and the survivors were all church insiders. So John
They clearly stated their next destination.
"Because this Holy Grail is no longer an ordinary holy object. It has now begun to possess the essence of a divine instrument, and a sublimation ceremony must be held. And this important ceremony can only be performed at the New World Headquarters of the Church of the Passion God in Ilysia.
Only the Cathedral of Thorns can do it.”
"Then I'll just send you to Ilysia." After hearing what John said, Lawrence made a decision immediately. After all, the matter has been done so far, so he might as well finish it in one go.
Easily refresh the favorability of the Church of the Suffering God.
Anyway, there is a lot of food and fuel on the ship. After all, Lawrence filled the cabin with supplies for the adventure. Not to mention that the water-making technique he mastered can easily get enough fresh water on the sea. So if
If nothing else goes wrong, there will be no problem with the voyage, and we can sail directly to Ilysia, the capital of Elysium.
"That's really great." John excitedly held Lawrence's hand and shook it vigorously. "I think our church will never forget your friend, I swear."
