Chapter 1396 Direct consultation
"Do you know the origin of this capstone?" Leo asked straightforwardly.
Qiao An replied: "Of course I understand. It is said that this capstone is a sacred object gifted to the Rock Church by the Lord of the Stone when the Rock Church was preparing to build the main church in the New World. As long as this capstone is in the church,
This rock temple will always be protected by the Lord of Stone and exist forever."
"Sacred objects?" Sylvia smiled slightly disdainfully and said, "I have never seen any church's sacred objects that need to be tied up and hung in the air." As he spoke, he saw Sylvia.
Ya quickly climbed along a stone pillar to a rope hanging from the center stone. He checked the rope very carefully, then jumped directly from the height, landed steadily on the ground, and followed Chao Lei.
Ou said: "It's tendon, I don't know what it is. It doesn't feel that the strength contained is very strong, but the texture is very strong."
"What muscle?" Qiao An looked at Sylvia with a puzzled look and asked.
Sylvia did not hesitate to answer, and told Qiao An her discovery seriously. It turned out that the ropes that tied the core stone and hung it in the air were not ordinary steel ropes made of twisted steel wires.
Rather, it is a tendon or hamstring belonging to some giant creature.
Qiao An was a little surprised after hearing this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, and whether he knew about it or not would not affect him.
But Digaro, who was hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, was shocked by this information, because Sylvia's words happened to be connected with a long-ago rumor in the Rock Temple.
This rumor is that this capstone is not a gift from the Lord of Stone at all, but a curse. In order to prevent this curse from affecting the Rock Church in the Old World, the church’s senior leaders decided to establish a Rock Church headquarters in the New World.
, transfer this capstone to the New World, and use the ancient giant's hamstrings to make chains that seal the curse, sealing the capstone.
Therefore, the Rock Church in the New World is just a tool used to take care of cursed objects. Therefore, the mission and expansion of the Rock Church in the New World have always been restricted by the Church in the Old World. In the eyes of the senior leaders of the Church in the Old World, tools only need to be used peacefully.
That's it, there's no need to master too much unnecessary power.
This rumor has appeared within the New World Rock Church for a long time, but it has always been regarded as a rumor and excuse created by the New World Church to try to gain more power, so it has not been taken seriously, but it has not died out.
It has been passed down to this day.
And Digaro immediately connected Sylvia's remarks with this rumor, and his emotions were shaken. It was not because of the so-called hand tendons and hamstrings of something, but because of another thing related to it.
This incident is the church schism in the New World.
To people from other churches, the Rock Church in the New World is very united, but in fact, a schism occurred in the Rock Church in the New World. This incident only lasted less than a day and was quickly resolved internally.
The person who initiated this incident was a senior member of the Rock Church in the New World, who was also promoted from the local clergy of the Rock Church. This church leader was a staunch independent of the New World Church. He believed that the church in the New World should
Completely independent of the control of the Old World Church, the top positions of the New World Church can only be held by local clergy in the New World and cannot be appointed by the Old World Church.
The excuse of this church leader for launching the schism was that the holy objects were cursed objects, and one of the evidences he presented was that the ropes binding the capstone were made of giant hamstrings and contained the power to seal the cursed objects.
The separatist incident initiated by this high-level official was naturally put down quickly. The high-level official was also expelled from the church and exiled to the Far North.
However, there are rumors that after this high-ranking official was exiled, he did not completely give up his ideas. Instead, he modified the teachings according to his ideas and spread his teachings in the far north.
Because his self-written teachings had great resonance among local clergy, and he was actually fighting for the rights of local clergy, many local clergy were bewitched and went to the far north to join the movement.
The church founded by people is said to have reached a certain scale by now.
However, I don’t know why the Rock Church did not send the Church Knights to crusade like other churches did to apostates. Instead, they just let it go and allowed it to grow and develop. This made everyone in the church feel extremely puzzled.
After hearing Sylvia's answer, Digaro immediately subconsciously thought that Sylvia was a member of the new church established by the apostate. At the same time, he also thought of the thief who wanted to steal the capstone.
In this matter, I felt as if I had discovered some shocking conspiracy.
"They want to steal the Capstone, and then use the reputation of the Capstone to prove that they are the orthodox church of the Rock Church in the New World." Digaro boldly guessed in his heart.
Digaro, who felt that he had discovered a big conspiracy, was immediately excited. He felt that his great achievement this time should be impossible, but the problem now was how to catch the three people in front of him.
Although he considers himself to be the strongest among the church knights except Sir Capone, but asking himself, he is still not sure that he can take down the crazy knight Joan in a one-on-one situation, and just now Sylvia climbed up
Shizhu's easy movements also let him know that Sylvia has considerable combat power. Although Leo did not make any moves, in his estimation, he should have a combat power comparable to Qiao An. Otherwise, with Crazy
It is absolutely impossible for Knight Joan's character to show such respect for that person.
Just when Digaro was thinking about countermeasures and how to take down Leo and the others in one fell swoop, Leo's subsequent actions made him confused again.
Because in his opinion, since the other party is coming for the capstone, they should untie the rope that binds the capstone as soon as possible, put the capstone on the ground, and find a way to take it away, but Leo and Hill
However, after paying a little attention to the capstone, Via shifted his attention from the capstone to the surrounding church buildings. He was especially interested in the relief patterns recorded in the holy scriptures on the buildings. They were completely like two
A scholar who studies the religious culture and symbolic mysteries of the Rock Church.
Digaro was completely confused at this time and didn't understand what the other party meant. Although he could take action now, he could only accuse the three of them of entering the temple without authorization, and Qiao An could not enter the temple as Sir Capone's apprentice.
It's not a problem. He can only be blamed for bringing people in. Only if they remove the rope that binds the capstone and put the capstone on the ground can it be used as evidence that they stole the capstone.
Just when Digaro didn't understand Leo and the others' thoughts at all, Leo and Sylvia were completely immersed in the relief patterns corresponding to the scriptures and stories in the church. They all discovered some content that attracted them.
For example, in one of the pictures, Sylvia discovered the floating city that she had seen and lived in in the Black Forest, while Leo discovered that the giant Yam Island appeared in the mural.
"Do you know what this painting is about?" Leo turned to Qiao An and asked.
Qiao An shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know. I'm not a member of the Rock Church and I don't understand their doctrines and classics."
Leo thought for a while, turned towards the stone pillar where Digaro was hiding, and said, "Mr. Church Knight, please come out. I have a few questions related to the story of the Rock Church's classics."
After Leo's words fell, the church immediately became quiet. Qiao An looked at Leo with a puzzled face, then followed Leo's line of sight and turned to look at the position of the stone pillar. Obviously, he did not
I found a person hiding behind the stone pillar.
And Digaro was completely confused at this moment. He had no idea that the other party knew that he was hiding behind the stone pillar, and he did not expect that the other party would expose him without any scruples.
"Shouldn't he leave immediately after finding someone hiding? Why did he let me out? Are you sure I am not a threat to him?..." The moment Digaro came back to his senses, an idea came to his mind.
Various speculations and ideas.
Just when Digaro didn't know how to react, Qiao An walked to the stone pillar carelessly, slanted his body and looked behind the stone pillar, and happened to see the overwhelmed Digaro, and then he looked like
He looked surprised and shouted: "Oh! Digaro, why are you hiding behind the stone pillar? Are you playing a game with us? It's so funny. I didn't know there was someone hiding here from the moment I came in. You really
He’s very good at hiding!”
"Shut up, you madman, I am a knight of the church, and now I am performing the duty of protecting the church!" Digaro immediately put away the confusion on his face, and turned to Qiao An with a serious face and said: "How dare you
Bringing outsiders into the church without authorization..."
"They are not outsiders, they are my newly recruited subordinates," Qiao An said proudly, not caring about Digaro's tone: "I also received news that a thief wanted to steal the crown jewel, so the above
I was sent to patrol nearby to protect the Rock Temple, but you also know that I can't find anyone else to patrol with me, and I can't protect the core of the temple by patrolling alone, so I recruited two extra staff.
Team members, they help me protect the capstone."
"Recruiting subordinates, non-staff members?" Digaro said with an ugly face: "Why didn't I know that the knights responsible for patrolling the church district can recruit themselves?"
Qiao An smiled and said: "It's temporary, it's just temporary. After working for these two days, they will leave, and I will leave too. Don't worry about it."
Looking at the confused mad knight in front of him, Digaro felt a little headache. He knew that it was useless to continue talking to him, so he walked out from behind the pillar, bypassed Qiao An, and quickly walked to Leo.
, said in a deep voice: "Do you know that you have violated the taboos of our church by breaking into the Rock Temple without permission, and I now have every reason to arrest you."
"I also think you have reason to arrest us." Leo nodded, then turned around and pointed at the relief murals on the wall, and said, "But before you arrest me, can you answer my question first? What do I think about Rock Church?"
I am very interested in the doctrinal classics.”
Digaro suddenly saw that the person in front of him might also be a lunatic. Otherwise, how could he be so unclear about the occasion and time? This made him look at Qiao An, and he immediately had a suspicion in his heart, doubting this man and woman.
Like Qiao An, he is also a lunatic from the Church of False Heart.
So, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the people in front of him, and was going to sound the alarm bell in the church, make the church people anxious, and then decide how to deal with these three people.
However, when he was making a decision in his mind, Leo asked him to answer the content of the mural.
However, this time when he heard the questioning, his mind suddenly became inexplicably empty. The decision he had made in his heart also disappeared, replaced by an urge to answer questions for the person in front of him, and he seemed to feel that this strange person in front of him
He became a lot friendlier, like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Under the influence of this inexplicable emotion, he completely forgot about his previous decision to summon his church colleagues, but walked to Leo and explained to Leo the story of the relief mural of Yam Island in the Rock Church classics.
It turns out that when the Rock Church was first founded, it encountered some disasters. These disasters included natural disasters, such as the black blizzard that was far more destructive than previous years, and man-made disasters, such as the suppression and attacks of other large churches.
For Rock Church, these disasters are fatal.
Therefore, the Pope of the Rock Church at that time led all the senior clergy to offer sacrifices and pray to the Lord of Stone, and finally received a response from the Lord of Stone.
The Lord of Stone used his power to bring the top leaders of the Rock Church to a small island, where a large number of giants lived. Under the witness of the Lord of Stone, the church's clergy signed an agreement with some giants on the island.
The agreement allowed the giants to become the divine weapons of the church, and then brought the giants back to this world.
With the help of the giants, various disasters were easily resolved, and the Church of the Rock gradually grew and gained a firm foothold.
Most of the giants died during this process, and only a few survived through some special methods, and they still live in the Holy Land, the headquarters of the Rock Church, in the Old World.
After hearing that there were giants living in the Holy Land, the headquarters of the Rock Church, in the Old World, Leo had the idea to go and take a look when he had time.
Later, he asked several questions about the doctrine of the Rock Church, compared the teachings of the Rock Church with the teachings of the Stone Throne, and also compared some legends and stories of the two churches, thereby confirming the previous conclusions.
According to speculation, the Church of the Rock and the Church of the Stone Throne are indeed the same church in two worlds.
