Not a Witch

"The title of that witch is the Witch of Salt. She died in a secret siege by the church thousands of years ago."

The man in black nodded slightly, then pushed open the revolving iron door and walked out of the cafe.

----------

Emenas, Temple College.

A group of people, including 2 teachers and 8 students, climbed on the back of a white giant dragon, sat on the saddle of the dragon's back, and then followed the dragon's wings, a thrust came from the back, and everyone followed The dragon rose straight into the sky.

This blazing dragon from the sanctuary is the existence of Sequence 7. It is not too old, and its personality is slightly gentle. It is suitable to pick up these students who travel between the sanctuary and Emenas.

High in the sky, the wind was bitter.

A faint halo appeared around the dragon to counteract the howling cold wind and air current, and everyone felt a little more comfortable.

Riding a giant dragon was a very novel experience for many students. They looked at the back of the giant dragon curiously, and sometimes they wanted to reach out and touch the white scales of the giant dragon.

But a few of you still held back your curiosity a little bit, it would be bad if you offended the giant dragon, besides, as exchange students now, they have to take into account the face of the college, and they can't be as casual as when they were in school .

After flying for half a day, when it was getting dark, mountains and peaks began to appear in the distance.

The giant dragon walks through the mountain peaks, among which are tall palaces and churches, and stone steps extend between the mountains, and there will be tall fire pillars at intervals around them, illuminating the mountain road below.

Pedestrians wearing various clothes walked on the mountain road, they walked on foot, sometimes worshiped, and whispered some words in their mouths.

This flaming dragon tilted its wings, turned in front of a high mountain, then slowed down slowly, and landed on a clearing halfway up the mountain.

Ingrid took the lead in jumping off the dragon saddle, and the following students also jumped off from above.

Although they are 5-6 meters above the ground, these students are all extraordinary, so naturally they will not be injured by the fall.

Lorraine Hill also fell on this open space. In front of it was a tall palace half covered by the mountain, behind it was a huge abyss nearly [-] meters wide, and below it was an extremely deep valley, in which there were some gravel and small trees.

There are snow-covered trees on the mountainside, and some palaces and platforms are revealed in the valley, faintly.

Chapter 94 The Book of Candlelight

Inside the mountain, candles are lit one by one, illuminating the small compartments in the mountain wall, which contain small statues and stone slabs.

And the aisle below was also dug out of this hard rock. Touching these bluish stone walls, a chilly feeling spread into the palm of the hand.

"Let's stay here temporarily for today, the church will arrange a new residence in two days."

As Ingrid said so, she brought several students to a door. As a church member from the Sanctuary, she is now the link between these exchange students and the church.

"This place was originally arranged for ascetic monks to live. There are not many facilities, but fortunately it is very clean and tidy, with little dust, and you can sleep after a little tidying up. The only disadvantage is that it will be cold at night."

"After all, we are in the mountain, just like in the cellar."

Everyone chose their own rooms, put away their things, and after lying down for a long time, Ingrid asked everyone to go to the side for dinner.

Compared to Emenas' incomparably rich meals, the meals here are extremely simple, a glass of water, boiled rotten wheat porridge, and nothing else.

On the first day when they came to Sanctuary, these students felt the simple style here.

After a simple meal, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

-------

Lorraine Hill sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the interior of the room illuminated by the candles.

The surrounding walls and ceiling are all stone, and the surface has traces of chiseling, and the cut surface is smooth, which is a light blue color.

Apart from the bed, small table, and wooden chairs, there are no other furnishings in the room, which is extremely simple.

Pulled up the slightly cold quilt and fell asleep, and after a while, Lorraine Hill got out of the quilt again.She stretched out her hand, and a light golden light shield spread out, covering the bed, and the temperature inside also rose by a few degrees.

As an angel sequence that is good at protection and healing, such spells can be taught in the third-year academy, so it is not difficult.

After finishing the performance, the girl returned to the quilt and fell asleep peacefully, spending the cold night like this.

the next morning.

With the shaking of a bell outside the room, everyone was awakened by Ingrid.

They opened their sleepy eyes, put on their clothes, walked out of the room, and came to the outside of the palace inside the mountain, only to find that the sky was not completely bright, only a little white appeared on the horizon.

"Let's run with me in the morning, it's a tradition in the sanctuary." Ingrid waved her arms, causing several students to groan.

"Haha, don't be so discouraged, everyone will get used to it sooner or later, after all, there is still a year." Ingrid said scary words in a flat tone.

Everyone trotted on the mountain path around the palace, and two meters away was the huge chasm-like crack in the valley, which made ordinary people's legs and feet weak.

Although compared to ordinary people, these students are extraordinary, but a few of them felt guilty and tried to run inside to avoid the dangerous edge.

If a stone rolled down from the edge of the mountain path, at such a high distance, the echo from below might not be heard.

After the morning jog, Ingrid took her classmates back to the palace in the mountain, and then moved out a stack of slightly old books for everyone to read.

"These are the classics of the church's external publicity and lectures. You can take a look. Maybe they are different from what we learned in school." She opened the book, and the printed fonts in it were a bit blurry, but fortunately, each letter was one year older. No., so it is not impossible to understand what this means.

A few students went to the side with their books and started flipping through them.

Lorraine Hill was also holding a book as thick as a dictionary, sitting on a row of chairs in this hall, slowly flipping through it.

Compared with some objective descriptions of the academy, these scriptures are full of stories about the cause and process of the chaos disaster, and one of the characters is more vivid.

However, this also leads to a large deviation in its authenticity. Let Lorraine Hill evaluate it, that is the difference between "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Three Kingdoms". Some changes have been made to some of the characters and processes to make it more vivid.

The former is well-known and popular, while the latter is a slightly boring historical record.

"Book of Candlelight O Volume II Section 8":

When the shadow of evil rose on the earth, three lights came down from heaven.

The light, like a living thing, made a sound.

Its voice was like singing and praying, so 520 messengers with wings on their backs came to the world.

This is the messenger of the Gospel to transfer you.

...

Therefore, those blessed people who follow the light also become messengers.

They hold sharp swords, the sharpness of their blades can kill the vicious snake in their hearts, and the scorching heat of their swords can burn the twisted shadows of the world.

...

"Book of Candlelight O Volume Five Section 4":

At that time, the blazing light with six wings on its back stood high above the vortex abyss.

The darling of goodness and beauty, holding a red spear in his left hand and a white flame snake sword in his right hand, leads 460 nine angels, 950 five holy flame knights, and 340 seven prayers Priests, one hundred and eight thousand two hundred and sixty four crusaders, 260 United Salvation Army.

Go deep into the hell of the abyss, and fight to the death with 11 seven chaotic shadows and 660 nine filthy bodies.

......

"Book of Candlelight o Volume VII Section 6":

......

The sky fire fell into the world, the earth abyss healed, the light exhausted its power, and its wings fell like ashes of burning embers.

Weep for it all my life, and the rivers of tears flow down from the summit of the Mountain of Sighs.

The remnants and blood on the ground merged into the river, turning into a blood-red river, washing away the bitter earth.

At this time, a drop of tear also fell from the light, and fell into the river.

Then the river became clear, and the light became a sacrificed stone statue.

......

The girl slowly turned the pages of the book. Although there is a slight gap with the records in the academy, this classic describes the war that swept the world in a more vivid way.

After the disaster of chaos, many races completely disappeared in the eyes of the world, such as the vast branch of the orcs in the sea, the orca family that once dominated the seven seas, the last race of giants, the mermaid family in the sea, and even the phoenix witch of the Eastern Continent. , and thus fell.

The whole world is pushed back to the beginning, and the cards are shuffled again. After recuperating for nearly a hundred years, countries, large and small, rise up, and then there is the legend of Roland, Yalin, and the pair of princes.

After flipping through the classics, she raised her head, in a daze, sorting out the information she had just read.

Ingrid came over and sat beside Rothschild.

"How do you feel after watching it?"

"It's very exciting, but the description of the chaotic phantom is different from that in the academy," the girl said.

"The chaotic phantoms described in these classics are formed by the gathering of the sinful evil thoughts of living beings, and the individuals corrupted by them are called filthy bodies. In fact, the chaotic phantoms have little to do with evil. In fact, they have no concept of good and evil. A twist driven by some instinct..."

"I understand what you mean, Luo Xier, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the complicated words and sentences. When spreading, they must use brief and easy-to-understand descriptions, even though they may not be true."

"I see." The silver-haired girl is not the kind of person who sticks to the horns of a dead end, and she also understands the difficulty of popularizing something to the majority of illiterate people.

"However, this tome is more similar to a story. Are there any books with more detailed descriptions, such as the two sides of the battle, the phantom of chaos, and the narration of angels." The girl said that she was curious about angels.

Chapter 95 Teaching under the tree

In the following time, Lorraine Hill and other seven exchange students were taken to a small church on the mountainside.

There is an older priest here, and two nuns.There are not many people and it is relatively quiet. It is located on the west side of the holy mountain of Karen Riel, and pilgrims will not pass through here.

The seven of them will learn basic knowledge about the Church of Angels here, such as the history of the church's origin and changes, as well as how to teach scriptures, how to preach, what rules to follow, and how to guide people to pray as a priest. Cultivate the mind, solve some simple life questions, and so on.

It will take about 2 months to complete these studies, and then transfer to other institutions and departments.

Under a big tree in front of the church, several students dressed in black and white nuns and monks' uniforms sat on wooden benches and tree stumps, listening to the pastor explain some knowledge.

"When the Church of Angels first emerged, there were different branches in various places. Although the origins are all in the sequence of angels, there are still many differences in everyone's concepts and ideas."

"After several debates and confrontations, one of them has gradually grown, and this is the Church of Candlelight."

"After hundreds of years of dissemination, the Candlelight Church has gradually become the mainstream, and other minor schools have gradually disappeared."

"In the year 842 of the Third Epoch, a priest of a certain sect publicly published the 'Ten Deadly Sins against Candlelight', refuting and resisting many evil acts of the Candlelight Church, including but not limited to, blind worship, persecution of dissidents, Embezzling donations, belittling human life, etc.”

"This matter has caused widespread quarrels on the mainland, and many royal families and nobles no longer support the Candlelight Church as before."

"After nearly a hundred years of internal debates, new doctrines and concepts slowly formed. Finally, the 11th Pope announced the 'Glorious Reformation', abolishing many unreasonable regulations before, and changing the scriptures to make them more in line with human ethics. Add an adjudication department to self-examine, break away from the secular world, stop interfering with various countries and organizations, etc."

"Although the strength of the church has been weakened since then, it has also been used to restore people's hearts, and it has continued to this day."
