Chapter 631: Past and Present Promises
After listening to Isabella's description of the Soul Battlefield, Nightingale's heart gradually sank to the bottom, "You mean, you don't know how to wake His Majesty from his slumber?"
She shook her head, "There is no precedent for this outcome, and I really can't solve it...... However, when Jero devoured Garcia, she was in a trance for a while. She explained at www.biquge.info the time that she had found something interesting in the other party's memory, so it took a lot of effort. And Jieluo's life is more complicated than anyone else's, and I guess it will take Roland even longer to accept this part of the memory. But as long as he's alive, he should wake up naturally. β
Nightingale couldn't tell if it was true or not, she could only tell that the other person wasn't lyingβat least the speculations were from the bottom of the heart for the pure.
But she also knows that the situation is not rosy at all.
Which of the memories of more than 200 years of service to the Church, or His Majesty's 20 years as a prince, will become dominant? Will Roland be lost in the complicated memories and never wake up?
Taking a step back, if he had really accepted all of Jero's memories and then woke up, he would still be the fourth prince of Roland Wimbledon, the Grey Castle...... And the person she longs for?
The rush of thoughts made it almost impossible for the nightingale to control her state of mind.
She also understood the reason why Wendy had asked Agatha to come with her.
"Talk about the Church," said Agatha after a moment's silence, "how much do you know about the Church's predecessor, the Federation?"
"I know what Jero knows," Isabella replied very cooperatively, "are you still doubting the contents of those letters? Since Geroy took over the papacy, the Privy Council has allowed the purity of the Privy Council to enter the library and read the history that had been concealed four hundred years ago, and the letters are true about the witch empire and the devil. β
"If it's just the little bit of news in the letter, it's not of much value to us," Agatha smiled slightly, "The Witch Empire is history in your eyes, but in my eyes, it's a part of life. I am the witch of the Federation. β
This time it was Isabella's turn to be surprised, "You...... Say what?"
"I came from the holy city of Tachira more than 400 years ago and witnessed the destruction of the holy city. The Devil is not an uncommon thing, they still occupy most of the land of the Dawning Realm, and there is a camp of the Devil in the Hidden Forest west of the Grey Keep and at the end of the Chishui River, and Roland has already fought against them. β
The Pure froze in place, speechless.
"War with the devil is a matter of time, and we all know that the battle of divine will is coming, and if it weren't for the Church's step-by-step approach, Roland would not have chosen to fight a decisive battle at such a time to relieve the trouble. Agatha paused, "What I want to know is, how exactly did the Federation become a church?"
"It took a while for Isabella to come to her senses," the ......history books mention that during the escape, a civil war broke out in the Confederation on the northwest side of the Desperate Mountains. The cause is not detailed, but it is known that the Federation has since split into two factions, one is dominated by the Witches of Tachira, who entered the labyrinth of the mountains, and the other is the Witches of Falling Star, who inherited the will of Lord Akaris, and continued to travel north, settling under the Hermes plateau, where they became the current Church. β
"Civil war on the way to escape?" said Agatha frowning, "this is suicide. β
"The writers of the history books also thought so, that the Federation had suffered heavy losses in the civil war, not only had they lost two transcendents, but they were also completely disconnected from the migration party of mortals, and by the time the northbound faction reached their destination, the mortals had already fled to pieces. Isabella sighed, "As for the subsequent War of Faith, it is only to hunt down the non-fighting witches who do not belong to Fallen Star City - only then can the Church bury the past once and for all." β
"Burying the past is to facilitate the wanton hunting of witches in order to create a sane army of divine punishments?" Nightingale said coldly, "You are all crazy. β
"If it weren't for this civil war, the Four Kingdoms would never have been out of the control of the Federation from the beginning, and the number of the Divine Punishment Army would be much more than that," Isabella said calmly, "Of course, now that Roland Wimbledon has a better way, there is no need for the Holy City of Hermes to exist." β
"You don't have much attachment to the church," Nightingale scoffed.
"As long as I can defeat the devil, I don't care who is in charge of the continent, which is also the original intention of the Federation. She closed her eyes, "As crazy as Jerry is, she is more determined than most people when it comes to fighting the devil, which is why I chose to help her once." β
Hearing this, the nightingale couldn't help but pull out her dagger.
"If killing her will wake Roland up, I will never stop you," Agatha said softly.
It was a long time before she put the dagger back into its sheath in hatred.
"By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you," Isabella said abruptly just as the two were about to leave, "Although the Pure are allowed to enter the temple and read the books in the library, the prayer room on the top floor is forbidden to anyone, not even approaching. She had only told me that standing there, she was able to face the gods. β
......
Walking out of the "captive cell", Nightingale slammed down the wall with force, "...... Damn, we still haven't been able to find a way to wake up His Majesty!"
"Everything we can do has been done, and we just have to wait," Agatha reassured, "Anyway, let's report back to everyone what we've gotten." β
"She'll pay for it, I promise!"
"As long as we don't kill her, she will be of great use to us...... Whether it's dealing with the Holy City, or exploring the secrets of the Divine Stone. β
Soon, the witches gathered outside the bedroom and began to listen to Agatha's repetition of the information about the Pure, and Nightingale's mind was long gone.
She quietly retreated into the corner, unfurled the mist, and penetrated into Roland's bedroom.
Anna was the only one left in the quiet room except for her.
Nightingale slowly walked to the side of the bed and saw Anna holding Roland's right hand and whispering something.
She had to hold her breath to hear the murmur of the other party, which was almost like a whisper.
"Remember what I said to you......
"If you die, I will take those who are willing to follow you to the Isle of Sleep and fight the Church to the end. γ
"But you're alive. γ
"I'm just asleep. γ
"So I'm going to keep waiting. γ
"Whether it's a day or a year, even if it's a lifetime, as long as you still breathe, I will always be by your side. γ
"Sleep peacefully. γ
"I'll take care of you. γ
Nightingale felt her heart tighten violently, the pain of her heart even more unbearable than the trauma to her body, and she could not restrain herself from bending down and clutching her chest.
A warm current blurred her eyes.
