Chapter 2: A Mysterious Spell
Celent remembers picking up an old parchment scroll at the edge of the Monster Forest a few months ago, filled with a script he didn't recognize, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the soul language in this Minoan Dictionary. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoCould it be that the scroll is a relic of the Soul Cult that once flourished on the mainland? If memory serves, the sheepskin scroll must have been stuffed into a chest in the basement by him.
Thinking of this, Septant had already forgotten about studying the dictionary again in the morning class. He couldn't wait to find a kerosene lamp, and with the thick dictionary in his arms, he quietly left the chapel and slipped into the basement outside the church in the wind and snow.
Since the departure of Vincent, the Bishop's patron knight, Celent has temporarily moved into Vincent's room, and the basement has been his former residence for quite some time.
Silent carefully closed the basement door, hung the kerosene lamp on the wall, and began to rummage wildly through his "collection" without making a sound. Bishop Furren had commanded that while he meditated, he should refrain from any interference, which was said to affect his access to the oracle of the Lord of Light.
This basement contains a lot of things that he collects from the outside that he thinks are "interesting". On one occasion, however, after Vincent had visited his collection, he privately reported to Bishop Flon that Celent had collected a pile of uncompromising garbage.
Silent's eyes lit up and he pulled out a yellowed parchment scroll from the corner of the chest.
Sellent carefully unfolded the scroll, opened the "Minoan Dictionary" and carefully compared it, and the text on it was exactly the same as the text on the "Minoan Dictionary"!
Tearent dusted off the dust on the only table in the basement, removed the kerosene lamp from the wall, and sat down at the table.
He turned up the brightness of the kerosene lamp, unfolded the parchment scroll on the table, and eagerly opened the Minoan Dictionary, and began to translate the words on the parchment scroll word by word.
“...... After years of research, we have found that if a person has just died, before his soul is taken by the god of the underworld, we can use the power of Herris, the Lord of Light, to exchange the soul of the deceased from the god of souls, Most, at the cost of ...... Only the most pious ......
'O great Lord of Light, grant me the power to regain my soul, and I will give it in exchange for ...... of the soul. ’
We named this precious spell 'Reinvention'. - Crete Minos"
The parchment scroll was so old that some of the handwriting was blurred, and Celent had painstakingly translated only a small part of it, but hours slipped away in the process of his translation.
Sellent discovered a very wonderful thing, all the words on the parchment scroll that he had translated automatically became the common text of the mainland, but he didn't expect this parchment scroll to be so intelligent.
This text has just been translated underneath an illustration of a man lying flat with his hands crossed over his chest, and another kneeling beside him, his hand on the forehead of the lying man, in the appearance of reciting a mantra.
The "Soul Resurrection Curse" is an interesting discovery, I wonder if it really works? However, this parchment scroll is indeed very wonderful, and Serent is very pleased with the results of his translation, but he finds that what is written on this scroll does not seem to be in line with the teachings of the Holy See, where the study of souls is strictly forbidden.
It is said that Moster, the god of souls, and Herris, the Lord of Light, had a heated argument on this issue, with Moster insisting that all matters concerning the soul were under his jurisdiction, while the Lord of Light believed that the power of faith with which he was concerned was generated by the human soul and that this part should be under his control.
No one knows what the outcome of the argument between the two gods will be, but the Holy See's doctrine has added an article at some point: the study of the soul is strictly forbidden. Most clergy believe that this is what the Lord of Light uses to perfunctory the god of souls, otherwise there wouldn't be so many soul-related spells among the sacred spells.
However, this soul regeneration spell seems to involve the Lord of Light in addition to the God of Souls, so it shouldn't be considered a violation of the teachings of the Holy See......, right?
As soon as the back part opened, the basement door was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind blew in a large snowflake, making the concentrated Celent shiver. Hearing the sudden sound of the door opening, he hurriedly hid the sheepskin scroll behind him, he subconsciously thought that this scroll that was hooked with the soul language was better not to let others know.
The old figure of Bishop Fern appeared at the door, glanced at the Minoan Dictionary under the kerosene lamp, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Serent, I originally thought that you would start studying tomorrow. I have to interrupt you, though. Just now in my meditation, I seemed to have received instructions from the Lord of Light. Can you help me go to the edge of the forest north outside of town to rescue a lost guest on a journey?"
"Okay, okay. Serent hurriedly tidied up, and took the opportunity to stuff the parchment scroll into his robe.
Silent wondered how anyone would come to a backcountry like Florsaken during the freezing hours of winter. But it never occurred to him to question Bishop Fren.
"I was supposed to let Vincent go, but he hasn't come back from the imperial capital, so I have to work hard for you. Bishop Furren said apologetically.
A year ago, when Lord Stowe came to take office, he brought with him an edict from the Imperial Branch of the Holy See in the imperial capital, and transferred Vincent back to the imperial capital to report on his work.
After such a long time, Vincent still had no news back, and the experienced Bishop Fren judged that I was afraid that the rumor was true, the situation of the Holy See in the imperial capital was not good, and he had to start gathering the limited strength in his hands, after all, a ninth-level guardian knight, placed anywhere, was a combat force that could not be ignored.
After Vincent's departure, the elderly Bishop Fern was left alone with Celant.
After Celent left in a hurry, Bishop Flon did not immediately return to the church, but stood at the door of the basement and scanned the basement. The copy of the Minoan Dictionary that he had just handed to Celent lay quietly on the table.
Unbeknownst to Serent, Bishop Furren had visited his humble cottage more than once, and that Bishop Furren was more familiar with everything here than even Celent himself.
"The day has finally come. I've already taught you everything I can teach, and it's up to you what to do next. After a long silence, Bishop Flon let out a helpless sigh.
