The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

"By the way, Kant. I have something to ask you seriously..."

Yes, this answer came from the other side in the darkness.

Not an immediate answer, but a pause before responding.

Only those who can sense the atmosphere immediately know such a perfect opportunity.

Well, Laura seemed to be looking at the darkness in the front with satisfaction.

"...Kant. Did you ever secretly laugh at me when you heard my choice of words?"

"What?"

"Are you hiding in the dark on purpose to cover up?"

"No...no, I definitely didn't..."

"Then why does your voice tremble, you fool! Everyone makes a fool of my choice of words!"

"Supreme Bishop, I have heard before that you seem to be not very good at Japanese."

"Excuse me...can we get to the topic?"

Charles Kant asked straight to the point.

"sure."

Laura regained her composure and planned to continue the topic.

Charles continued smoothly.

"The report also states that the replica of the "Jichu Hang Sword" kept in our museum can be inferred that the original does not actually exist.

This is what sometimes happens in archaeology, which means that it is a crossover of inheritance. "

"What's the so-called crossover?"

Laura asked slowly.

"Yes, haven't you received such a report? For example... By the way, the giant map of Nazca, the moai statues of Easter Island, and the examples in our country are the megaliths... Sometimes in history, we find that the purpose of making is unknown. object."

Charles hunched low in the darkness.

“Then a strange thing happens, the reason for the creation of those items will be arbitrarily attached later.

Groundless traditions or myths continue to multiply like snowballs, such as the painting of the Virgin, which is the easiest example to understand. "

Laura nodded.

"Um."

The iconography of the Virgin Mary is the "miraculous thing" that represents the worship of the Virgin.

In the early days, there were rumors that "Portraits of the Virgin Mary will shed tears". Over time, they evolved into "wounds can be healed by just touching them" and "evil spirits can be eliminated by hanging them." The successive new "heritages" have continued to expand, exceeding The scope that "Idol Theory" can explain.

Regardless of the issue of belief, it is unbelievable based on historical facts.

"In other words, is it like this? There was originally a wonderful sword made of marble, but the Orthodox Church didn't know who made it and for what reason, so he casually added "It must be like this" "The reason then spread, and ended up being preserved in inheritance and documents?"

"Yes, but from an archaeological perspective, this is by no means a malicious act. Human beings are originally creatures that can use imagination to think in addition to theory.

In addition to this "Stab at Hang Sword", there are many similar case reports in the world. We cannot blame that side unilaterally..."

Laura thought to herself that what Charles said was actually right.

In short, what can be definitely concluded at present is that the legend of the spiritual equipment "Jichu Hang Sword" is actually a legacy spread by people at will, and it did not actually exist in the first place.

Although she didn't know the reason for making that marble sword, at least it didn't have the nonsense effect of being able to kill all the saints with just one finger of the sword tip.

As a result, the importance of transactions in Academy City has been greatly reduced. This made Laura finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't think she would fail like that, she always had to be wary of the one in 10,000 possibility.

"So, can you master the original inheritance of that troublesome marble sword?"

"Yes, due to the snowballing inheritance, there is no definite evidence now, but this record is probably correct."

Laura tilted her head slightly.

That's information that's not in the document.

Sure enough, we can't just rely on the magic point of view, the general point of view of archeology is also important, she thought randomly.

"This item is not actually a sword."

"What?"

Laura frowned suspiciously.

She saw in the darkness the museum keeper holding up a replica of the spiked sword.

He held the white marble sword upside down that emerged from the darkness.

"It's a cross. It seems to be called the "Apostle's Cross" locally."

"He——!?"

Laura almost stopped breathing.

"You said that was Peter's cross!?"

Something that couldn't even compare to the spiritual equipment that could kill all the saints with one blow.

"If this is the case, then the meaning of the transactions conducted by those people is fundamentally different. If they really want to conduct the Apostle's Cross transaction in Academy City..."

Laura thought about the direction in which the situation would develop.

Once the deal is over, Academy City will collapse, no, something more serious will happen.

But what does this have to do with my Laura?

What she was thinking about at the moment was not the safety of Academy City, but how she could profit from it.

"Won't you kill her?"

Steele stood up after removing the magic and asked Xia Qing.
