Chapter 1: The Lost Soul Language

The year 2119 of the Eliat calendar had just entered autumn, and the rest of the Eriat continent was still the end of summer, but the small town of Frosacken, located in Greenland, the northern province of the Eliat Empire, was already beginning to be hit by a blizzard.

The cold wind that carried large snowflakes howled, constantly hitting the Warcraft Forest behind the town. The goose feather snow came one after another, like a white wave constantly lapping towards the "coast" composed of tall trees, and the tall trees of the Warcraft Forest were like strong guards, stubbornly blocking the invasion of the blizzard. Under the continuous confrontation between the two sides, the snow in the town exceeded one meter in just one day.

The 300-day ice period of the year makes the living environment of the town extremely harsh. If it weren't for the precious monster furs and magic cores produced in the Warcraft Forest, which could attract adventurers to explore from time to time and bring some life to the town, the town would have been canceled by the empire and moved the townspeople to the interior.

Located on the edge of the town, near the Monster Forest, there is a simple wooden church, known locally as "Flon Church", a church named after the bishop of the church.

In addition to a spacious chapel, this small church has only two small rooms for Bishop Flon and his patron knight, Vincent.

The town is only five miles from the Warcraft Forest, and the cedar produced in the area is a tall, hard, woody tree. Houses made of cedar are excellent materials for building houses because they have good thermal insulation and are not easily crushed by heavy snow.

The trunk of the adult cedar is thick, which can grow up to several tens of meters, and it is not easy to harvest it for the town where there is an extreme shortage of adult labor, so most of the houses inhabited by the townspeople are built only with the main beams and part of the load-bearing roof walls, and the rest are replaced by other materials.

Unlike most of the town's buildings, Flon Church is built entirely from the trunk of an adult cedar. With the exception of the historic Lord's Palace, which is built entirely of granite in the center of the town, the church is the most expensive building in the town.

It has only been a little more than a decade since the construction of the Frien Church, but its status in the hearts of the townspeople is far above the historic Lord's Palace, all of which was brought by Bishop Flen.

It was out of visceral respect for Bishop Flon that the townspeople banded together to harvest cedars and build the second largest church in the area after the Lord's House for Bishop Flon and Knight Vincent. This is the simplest expression of gratitude from the simple townspeople to Bishop Flren.

Although Frosacon was only a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people, it was the only human settlement within a hundred miles of the northern part of the empire, barely a small parish.

Silent, the trainee pastor of the church of Fren, has been studying various texts under the supervision of Bishop Fren since he became sensible. For this reason, Septe was given a tight schedule every day, and in addition to morning and evening classes, he was also asked by the bishop to seize all the time to study and memorize.

In addition to his bedtime, only after evening classes, Bishop Flren's fixed meditation time, Celent had a little time at his disposal, which also caused him to grow up and not have much time to socialize with other townspeople outside the church.

Celent complained about this, and he felt that Bishop Flon was kind to everyone, except for him. You must know that he is only fifteen years old, and the children in the town who are about his age, except for a few children who want to follow their parents into the Warcraft Forest to hunt, the other children are at the age of unbridled youth.

In Selent's opinion, even if there are all kinds of dangers that may be encountered, hunting in the Warcraft Forest is much more interesting than reciting boring canons.

Celent always had the strange delusion that Bishop Flon was forced by something to put all the knowledge he thought useful into Serrent's mind overnight.

Fortunately, Celent has a good memory, and thanks to the "oppression" of Bishop Flon and his efforts, he has memorized almost all the texts of the Holy See in Bishop Flann's collection, although there are many teachings in them that he does not understand.

Especially when it comes to divine spells, Celent has an extraordinary talent that even Bishop Fren is amazed by. The divine spells seemed to be tailor-made for him, and many incantations that even the clergy found obscure to be at his fingertips.

Although he had just qualified as a trainee priest, Celent was already familiar with all the sacred spells, including the two secret techniques of the Holy See, "Oracle" and "Divine Retrospection". It's just that because his strength is not enough, he can't cast mid-to-high-level spells.

Vincent, the town's only guardian knight, was quite speechless, after all, in the rest of the continent, in order to obtain all the sacred spells, at least the bishop of the diocese was eligible. In particular, the two great secret techniques of supremacy of the Holy See, which are only qualified to be learned at the rank of cardinal and above, are all learned by a probationary priest here.

As the only person in the diocese who is likely to inherit the mantle of bishop, Lord Furren has always groomed Selent as his heir. A trainee priest who will almost certainly become a diocesan bishop has mastered in advance a skill that only a bishop can master, which seems justifiable and theoretically not contrary to the teachings of the Holy See. As for those two secret arts, if they are not the most devout Divine Cultists, they cannot be used at all.

"Serente, have you mastered all the previous knowledge?" asked Bishop Furren that night, before starting the meditation.

"It's almost. Silent replied weakly, saying that the long period of "oppression" had made him unable to lift the slightest energy to continue studying.

"Then it's time for you to get in touch with something new. As he spoke, Bishop Flon took out a heavy, worn-out book and handed it to Serent, who was sometimes really curious as to where Bishop Flon had obtained so many various tomes.

"Minoan Dictionary?" Celent looked at the name on the cover in shock.

"Yes, I remember teaching you about Minos, right?" asked Bishop Flon in a tone of inquiry.

"Isn't that the most famous god of souls, Most, the god of souls?

"I once told you that words are also a precious piece of knowledge. We cannot turn a blind eye to the soul language just because it was created by the God of the soul. Bishop Flon said meaningfully.

"Alright, I'm going to start meditating, you study this dictionary carefully, the old rules will start to test it tomorrow. Bishop Flon waved his hand slightly, stopping Celent from questioning.

After Bishop Flon began to meditate, Celent flipped through the Minoan Dictionary, he did not want to spend the little free time he had on this new text, and his plan was to start studying it again in the morning class tomorrow.

Just flipping through it casually, Serent was surprised to find that the text on this dictionary has a sense of déjà vu, and the dictionary explains very clearly that this is the soul language created by the god of souls, after the war of all races, as the soul cult that believes in the god of souls withdrew from the stage of the Iliad continent, the soul language has gradually disappeared.
