Chapter 105: Unknown Revelation
Andre just shook his head, his body motionless, and spoke in a slow voice.
"No, when I held the sword, I only felt what you just said, as if someone was teaching me how to swing the sword. I didn't feel anything else."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but frowned. No?
So what did he just see?
Especially the last scene, the white and beautiful city in fire.
Alka recognized the city at once, the straight avenue leading to the city gate and the flowers around it.
That was the area where they had last operated, Mest Island.
"Perhaps you could tell me what you saw, and I might be able to give you some reference."
Hearing Andrei's words, Alka looked up and nodded.
He began to narrate: "At the moment when I grasped the sword, it was as if my entire soul was dragged into a dark space, where I saw three pictures."
"The first picture shows a person holding a dagger and attacking someone else."
"The second picture shows a fleet sailing on the sea. By the moonlight, I saw that the fleet seemed to be a pirate group."
"Pirates?" Andre said, then asked, "Did you see their flag clearly?"
Alka nodded. "Yes, it is a pattern of a black sickle passing through a skull."
"Prayers for the Dead, this is the flag of those who pray for the dead." Xia Daiti said, having opened his eyes at some point.
She slowly climbed up from her father's lap and rubbed her eyes.
"Praying for the dead? Why did you see that picture? Sailing on the sea..."
Andrei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, Jason hurriedly asked: "What about the third picture? What is it?"
He was more curious about these.
"In the third picture, I saw the Flower City on Mest Island, which was burning fiercely. I even heard people crying in the city. The city walls were breached and collapsed, and there were corpses on them."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They thought Alka would talk about some unknown scene, but it turned out to be the Mest Island that they had just left less than a month ago.
Such familiar places or things enter the picture, making them pay more attention to them.
Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, Jamie said: "It is possible that this is a revelation from the Virgin Mary, either foreknowledge or a reminder."
Seeing the looks from the others, Jamie explained, “Arka is from Home Island, born as a child of the Virgin Mary, and born under her protection.
The holy vessels are things left behind in the world by the Virgin Mary's vicar, and they possess the power of the Virgin Mary.
There is even a legend that the Virgin Mary can directly transfer her power to the world through the holy vessels.
And the image he saw was probably a hint from the Virgin Mary, which might be a blessing for him.”
Hearing what Jiami said, everyone nodded involuntarily.
Although it sounds magical, it is very reasonable because such stories do exist in the church.
For example, the owner of the Sword of Kindness, the Kindness Walker - Meniex.
According to legend, she was inspired by the Virgin Mary in her dream, freed from pain and gained blessings. She then held the sword of love that came from her dream and practiced the Virgin Mary's teachings.
So it’s not very inconsistent, and it’s even very appropriate and reasonable.
"It's not foreknowledge, it should be a reminder."
Andre said suddenly, and everyone turned their eyes to him involuntarily.
All I heard was Andre saying, "Remember when we were in the southeast corner? I got some intelligence when I went to the island."
"The Pirates of the Dead were already within the Blood Gold Alliance at the time. The first place they massacred was Mest Island, a famous tourist asset with a huge amount of wealth."
"Afterwards, they fought with the Third Navy Fleet that arrived. Although they were defeated in the naval battle, they still managed to escape easily and killed many of the navy members on the fleet."
Hearing this, Alka became thoughtful.
In other words, the scene that I saw had actually happened, and it was some kind of reminder that the Virgin Mary wanted to give me?
But what kind of reminder would that be?
Alka was a little confused because these things had already happened. What message was he trying to convey?
"Okay." Andre stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "When things like this don't happen, you never know why."
You sound like you're saying something dangerous.
Several people looked at Andre and couldn't help but complain in their hearts, doesn't this mean that the Virgin Mary's hints are never useful.
Ambiguous images and meaningless revelations will only make people feel irritated and have wild thoughts.
Instead, you are more likely to put yourself in danger.
Countless lessons from the past serve as reminders.
After he finished speaking, a metal box appeared out of thin air in Andre's hand, engraved with religious patterns and patterns.
Five fingers were spread out and pressed on the top of the box, as if undergoing some kind of decryption process, and then the pattern on the box moved and moved to the side.
After moving layer by layer, the box was opened and there was a dent inside, the shape of a sword blade.
It was obvious what this was used to hold, and he had prepared for it.
Andre picked up the Sword of Mercy beside his leg and placed it in the box.
As the Sword of Mercy was put in, the layers of patterns on top moved and closed together again, returning to being a metal box without any gaps, as if it were made of solid metal.
When Andre picked up the box, Alka saw that there was a metal chain on the back of the box that looked like a shoulder strap.
I just watched Andre put the box on his back.
"Why not put it in the storage?" Alka asked curiously.
Just leaving it like this, no matter what, nothing is more convenient and safe than storage props.
And it’s not like Andrew is without storage tools.
Andre shook his head, steadied the box behind him and said, “I don’t know either, but that’s what the archbishop said.
The Sword of Kindness or the vessel that holds the Sword of Kindness cannot be put into the storage items, even if you are forced to do so."
After hearing Andre's explanation, everyone nodded and didn't care.
Lucilia's voice sounded: "Perhaps it is because this Sword of Kindness is also a [Treasure] in essence."
"[Treasures] cannot be stored in storage spaces. These small portable spaces simply cannot hold these powerful items."
After listening to Lucelia's explanation, Alka roughly understood it.
After all, the Sword of Kindness can be transformed into a treasure through a simple ceremony.
The current situation is more like a means for the Virgin Mary Church to protect valuables.
In other words, the existence of each treasure itself is a powerful energy body. Just look at the place where you are now, and you will have a clear understanding of this.
How could such a small storage device hold such a powerful item? How could they be worthy of it?
"Everyone, get ready to leave here." Just after he finished speaking, Andre seemed to have thought of something, patted his head and said.
"By the way, before that, we have to find the remains of these people and bury them.
After all, they were our former colleagues.”
The teachings of the Church of Our Lady emphasize that the dead should be buried in peace. Only by burying the remains of life and death in the land can one enter the Kingdom of God of Our Lady.
With the help of the Virgin Mary's soul, we can enter death safely and peacefully and be reborn.
"Alright, everyone, those who have recovered their strength can look for it in this church."
Except for Xia Daiti who needed to rest, the others began to wander around the cathedral, looking for the corpses lying everywhere.
However, Alka did not see any randomly discarded corpses along the way. Instead, some places were cleaned relatively cleanly.
Finally, after some searching, Gami found the neatly stacked corpses in a hall.
These corpses should all be those of church members, as can be seen from some of the relatively well-preserved clothing on their bodies.
I don’t know if they had to store the remains here because they couldn’t leave.
Andre came to the corpses, clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
A faint golden light came out from the box behind him and poured into the containers containing the bones.
As the golden light poured into these containers, the corpses were wrapped by the golden light and then turned into powder.
Each of them carried some powder to the outside of the church, and in a place similar to a cemetery, they dug holes one after another and buried the powder in them.
After Andrew finished praying for the afterlife, the Virgin Mary came to take their souls.
Although Alka wanted to say that their souls should have been taken away in the battle just now.
But in the current situation, saying such things is somewhat disrespectful.
"Okay, the mission is finally accomplished, let's go back to the ship."
Everyone nodded, and Alka regained control of the lantern and floated it next to everyone, surrounding it with mirrors.
Looking at the church behind him, the densely packed buildings around him, and the collapsed ruins, Jason couldn't help but ask, "No other exploration team has come here yet, shouldn't we search for it?"
"Uh...I mean treasure hunting."
Alka also felt that it would be a pity to give up just like that. After all, it took quite a while to get here.
Looking at everyone's gaze, Andre shook his head seriously.
"No, we have been in this dark realm for too long. Adding the time it will take to sail out, it will take at least a month. We will have mental problems."
Then he looked at Jason and said, "Didn't you hear the whispers? Vanessa heard them before, too. Our situation is not absolutely safe now."
Just as Andrei was speaking, Xiadaiti, who was standing next to Alka, suddenly fell down and bumped into him.
Xia Daiti was seen frowning and holding his head with both hands.
Seeing this, Vanessa opened her hands without hesitation and inserted five silk threads into Xia Daiti's chest.
A bottle of potion appeared in his hand. It was the same toxic drug that Jason had drunk before, which could eliminate his mental problems.
It flowed into Xia Daiti's chest along the silk thread.
After a while, Xia Daiti opened his eyes, and his face, which had just regained some color, turned pale again.
He was weak from the previous battle, and now he was on the island without the protection of the spell on the ship.
With the invasion of the dark spirit, Xiadaiti became even more vulnerable.
Seeing this scene, everyone stopped talking and walked quickly towards the boat.
As for the so-called stay and continued looting, forget it. The dangers brought by the current environment may be more deadly than those skeleton evil spirits on the island.
As they returned, some skeletons appeared from nowhere and attacked them.
Andre faced these skeletons and punched them hard, and a blue glow swept forward.
The skeletons fell down in large numbers and were all cleared out in less than 10 seconds.
The crowd didn't even have time to stop.
Soon they arrived at the port where the ship was staying.
A smell of blood blew into their nostrils along with the gentle sea breeze.
"Something happened? Quick."
