Chapter 3053 Letters
In the northern suburbs of Tivian, outside the east gate of Royal Holy Crown University, Green Shade Town.
In Green Shade Town during the winter, the sky was gray and cold. A thin layer of white frost quickly formed on the road and lawn after a light drizzle. The road surface began to become slippery due to the partial condensation, and one had to be extra careful when walking on the ground, otherwise it would be easy to fall.
Because it is approaching the New Year, some families in Green Shade Town have started to put up New Year decorations in front of their doors. Leaf wreaths woven with green leaves and tender branches are hung under the eaves, and at the door there is a simple altar of one of the Three Saints carved out of wood, and a small flag with the sun emblem is hung on the roof.
In the tradition of the Glorious Light Church, the year of the New Moon is considered to be the day when the Glorious Light Savior triumphantly expelled the evil gods. Legend has it that the Glorious Light Church designated this day as the beginning of the New Moon year, and the first Sunday one month after the New Moon year is the day when the Glorious Light Savior officially returns to the Palace of the Sun, leaving the world to be protected by the Three Saints whom he incarnated during his mission of saving the world. Therefore, it is also called the Ascension Day, and it is also an important festival of the Glorious Light Church.
Although there are families in Green Shade Town who decorate their doors for the Chinese New Year, there are not many of them. This is mainly because most of the people living here are students from wealthy families in Guanda University. Guanda University will have holidays during the Chinese New Year, and the students will go home to celebrate the festival, so there is no need to go through the trouble of decorating. Among the very few houses that have been simply decorated, there is No. 17.
The cold wind blew on the streets of Greenshade Town. In House No. 17, which had a simple altar of the Virgin Mary at the door, a crackling fire was burning to dispel the chill in the living room.
Dorothy, with her long silver hair, wearing a light blue quilted pajamas and a pair of white wool slippers, was sitting on a sofa by the fire. On the coffee table in front of her was a cup of steaming coffee, and next to the coffee there were a few scattered books. Dorothy herself was holding an open yellowed old book in her hand, and she was looking at the contents of the book with a focused expression.
What Dorothy was reading at this moment was a secret message sent by the Security Bureau through the White Stone Masons Association. After Dorothy parted ways with Misha yesterday, the other party quickly fulfilled their promise and sent three secret messages confiscated from the association by the bureau as a reward to the "detective". The postal service of the White Stone Masons Association was also quite fast, and the secret messages were delivered to Dorothy the next day after being mailed within the city.
Misha followed the agreement with Detective Ed and sent the secret books that Dorothy needed spiritually. There were three secret books in total, two of which were about "light" and one was about "shadow". At this moment, Dorothy was holding one of the two "light" secret books, and the title of the book was "Faith and the Sacred".
…
The author of "Faith and the Sacred" is a scholar who is very familiar with the secret world. He is very interested in the development of the faith and attitude of the Glorious Cult, so he conducted some research.
In this secret biography, the author explains the Glowing Light Church's unquestionable and absolute support for the Three Saints Faith. For them, anything that touches upon or attempts to change the Three Saints Faith is absolutely unacceptable. In those places influenced by the Glowing Light Church, any signs of heresy or the spread of pagan beliefs among the people will provoke a strong reaction from the Glowing Light Church.
In Chapter 1, the author gives examples of several actions taken by the Church of the Luminous Light due to heresy, ranging from destroying an association to launching a war. They launched purges and even replaced a government in order to ensure the absolute mainstream status of the Three Saints belief in the country.
Among the examples mentioned in the author's article, the largest one was against the peninsula country of Ivig. Several decades ago, this country was corrupted by the Cult of the Abyss because its royal family had long inherited the Path of Waves and thus openly believed in the Abyss Serpent. The Cult of the Radiant Light organized the surrounding countries of Ivig to launch a holy war against Ivig and successfully defeated it. After purifying the entire country's belief in the Abyss Serpent, it recommended other factions within the royal family to power.
In real history books, the traces of this holy war were downplayed, the names of the Sea Abyss Cult and the Abyss Serpent were erased, and it was explained as a normal military conflict between Ivig and its neighboring countries.
…
'The Glowing Church really takes heresy very seriously. Those heretical beliefs are hidden in the secret world and develop slowly. Once they cross the border and spread to the common people, they will be severely hit. This hit can even be as big as a war. Even if the Sea Abyss Church successfully controls a country, it cannot win the holy war with the Glowing Church...'
After reading the secret book in his hand, Dorothy thought about it. He thought that the Akha faith he had founded had only a few believers so far, which was far from being valued by the Glowing Church. Unless he was crazy enough to preach to the public, the Glowing Church would basically not come to him.
"According to the current intelligence, although the Glowing Church will also take the initiative to eliminate heretical associations of heterodox beliefs, their strength will not be as high as that of a government agency like the Security Bureau. However, once the heretical beliefs of heterodox gods develop to the point of preaching to the masses, they will immediately strike hard, showing a much stronger and more violent force than government agencies like the Security Bureau. In order to eliminate other beliefs that have grown bigger, they will not hesitate to start a war..."
Dorothy summed up her mumblings in her mind, then she placed the secret book she had just read on the coffee table in front of her. After taking another sip of the coffee on it, she picked up the secret book of another "lamp" with one hand and began to read it.
This secret biography is an incomplete translation of another secret biography called "The Sacred Fire".
…
"The Sacred Fire" was originally a secret book written in the Imperial language. The translator given by Misha translated part of its content and summarized it below.
The original text of "The Sacred Fire" is a hymn praising the God, the God being praised is the King of Light. The poem describes an earth-shaking battle of the King of Light in the War of Dawn. His opponent is called the Burning Giant.
In the description of the poem, the Burning Giant is a giant who is countless times taller than the mountains and his body is burning with raging flames. Wherever he goes, he will burn the sky and the earth, turning everything into flames. He is combative by nature. He once challenged the Lord of the Mountains to fight with him. After his defeat, he was trapped in the depths of the earth by the Lord of the Mountains. It took him thousands of years to melt through the seal and he almost evaporated the young tide. In the battle with the Lord of Light, he was completely defeated and fell by the Lord of Light.
…
'The Burning Giant... sounds like a god of the flame branch in the 'Light' realm, and a very ancient fallen god. Since the records say that he was defeated by the Lord of Light in the Dawn War, then this Burning Giant is at least a god from the Second Age.
"And it also mentions the Lord of the Mountains. According to Beverly, this is another name for the Stone Prince. And the sea tide... It seems that the god of the Wave Path before the Abyss Snake may have fallen now..."
Dorothy thought so after reading "The Sacred Fire". After reading this secret biography, she also had some guesses about the situation in the Second Age.
"This Burning Giant was looking for a fight with the Stone Prince, and was also destroying the Steaming Ocean Tide... In the end, he was killed by the Lord of Light. It feels like the gods in the second season are the kind that will fight at any time. The collisions between them are quite intense..."
Dorothy guessed this in her heart, and then she closed the "Sacred Fire" in her hand, put it on the coffee table, and picked up the third and last "Shadow" secret book from it.
After opening it and taking a look, Dorothy discovered that this was also a secret book of the same type, and its name was "The Crown of the Wind King".
…
This "Crown of the Wind King" can be said to be a hymn written specifically for Despenser, a member of the Prite royal family. It directly and loudly praises Despenser, a member of the Prite royal family. In secret legends, Despenser is called the descendant of the "Wind Knight" and has a noble and honorable bloodline.
The secret report praised Despenser, claiming that they would forever abide by their oath to protect the land of Prit, and expressed sadness and regret for a certain "chaotic incident". Then, they were excited that Despenser could rise again after that "chaotic incident". Finally, they emphasized that Despenser would always be the unchanging ruler of Prit.
