Chapter 652 Gwen's Confession
This time, Hughes obtained more information than the previous ones combined.
The first thing was to successfully connect with Beatrice.
Zeus was very interested in the Pope of the Candlelight Society, the new Empress of the Empire, but she had been mumbling meaningless words since the last time they connected, making it impossible to communicate.
Xius thought something had happened to her and was about to secretly warn Zoe.
This time it actually recovered.
As for what she said about becoming a "Named One" through a ceremony, and about the great sage Bruno, I can only find a way to verify it.
Castel had no information about this before, but now the situation is different. The entire Sanctuary of Silence lives in the church.
Especially Patriarch Ignatius, who visited various factories and buildings all day long, and took Gwen and Nora with him.
In the past few days, Hughes even heard that a priest from the Silent Temple had asked the Crusaders for a copy of the Imperial Codex of Truth.
In short, the Silent Church is one of the four major churches. Something like [Named Person] that once affected the entire continent must be recorded.
Zeus' heart was burning with excitement, as if he finally saw hope of solving the problem that had troubled him for so long. He planned to return immediately, but just as he changed to a more comfortable position and closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a call in his heart.
"etc! "
"Hmm?" Hughes was stunned. "You are Little Gwen?"
"There's no need to add 'little'. I've always been Gwen. How come after having that Gwen, I became little?"
"Okay, okay, Gwen, what's going on? Could it be..."
Zeus's eyes lit up. Gwen had never communicated with him before, and her reason was always that she wanted to control the white mist and seize control of the Forgotten Temple. Could it be that she finally succeeded now?
"How can it be so fast! This is a white plague covering the entire northern border! A white plague! The Silent Temple has been unable to resolve it for hundreds of years, and even I can't do it in a year or two."
"Oh," Hughes stretched out his voice, "So you're here this time?"
Little Gwen's voice paused for a moment before speaking with some hesitation:
"I met Lina."
『!? 』
"She came to me in the North. She seemed to know I was here and that I was the [Named Person].
After little Gwen finished speaking, she paused nervously. She didn't know how Zeus would treat her after he knew that she was also a [Named Person].
She also heard what Beatrice said. It seemed that the [Named Ones] were born to bring disaster to the world. She didn't know why the other [Named Ones] were like this, but
After all, Xius is a lord, and he has to consider his territory.
Caster is not short of military force, and little Gwen believes that she cannot withstand the Gatling gun's volley, so she may just be a burden to Caster.
Gwen didn't want to be a burden.
But she couldn't get away now, and the only thing she could do was to say it out loud.
"you"
Gwen suppressed her anxiety. She knew that Hughes would be very surprised to hear the news. She hoped that she would not lose a friend.
"Are you okay? Did you fight with Lina? Although Lina can't beat Big Gwen, she's still very dangerous. Where is she? Should I send an expeditionary force there?"
Gwen: 『.』
"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean you couldn't beat Big Gwen. Little Gwen, you're pretty good too. Uh, I mean, Gwen, Gwen, there's no Little."
Gwen: 『.』
Xiusi began to feel distressed. He was not very good at coaxing little girls. Although Gwen was always very well-behaved and often pretended to be mature, Xiusi could still feel that she was still a little girl at heart.
"Aren't you worried that I might bring disaster? After all, Miss Scepter said that the appearance of the Named One is always accompanied by disaster."
"If that were true, Caster would have been in trouble long ago. You've been in Blood Harbor for quite some time."
"But."
"If Castel can't even deal with disasters, how can he face even more powerful enemies? Evil gods, the church, and even cognitive interference. Which of these is not a disaster, and which one can be avoided?"
『.』
"And compared to the disaster, I'm more curious about another question - how do you know what Miss Scepter just said? My link didn't pull you in, did it?"
"Ah!"
Little Gwen's voice suddenly became panicked.
"That's because you're in this white fog, er, I mean, actually."
"I see. You didn't want to tell me? Sorry, I crossed the line. I thought we were friends." Hughes said in a disappointed and dejected tone, emphasizing the word "friend."
『.』
The link between them fell silent, and after a moment, little Gwen's sigh was heard.
"Well, I'll tell you, I don't have control over the entire white fog, but the white fog around here is under my control."
"you mean"
"In this white mist, the connection you pulled up was actually relayed by me. In other words, the center of the connection is actually me."
"So you and I have the same identity? Then can you directly pull up the link?"
"No, only you can pull up the link, but I can help you connect it even in the white fog, just like..."
"Relay?"
"What is a relay?"
"Next time I'll bring you a copy of the Imperial Truth Codex. You can take a look. Anyway, based on your description, you're acting as a relay. This connection is starting to look more and more like radio communication."
"Well, okay, I'm the relay. Anyway, I can hear your link too. I'm not eavesdropping on you on purpose! I'm just relaying for you, so I can't help but listen!"
"Okay, okay, didn't you eavesdrop on what Lina said to you?"
"Lina also mentioned the great sage Bruno. She blamed me for not saving him when he was suffering."
"Then why didn't you take action?"
"Wow, how am I supposed to do this?! Bruno died a thousand or a few hundred years ago! I wasn't even born then. I only joined the link a year or two ago. I'm not even as old as you!"
Gwen yelled angrily.
"And I don't know how I became a [Named One]. I don't even know how I became a Transcendent. It was like all of a sudden my friends started moving, and I was shocked myself. Anyway, I don't know much more about the [Named One] than you do."
"Okay." Hughes nodded. He didn't think Gwen was hiding anything on purpose. After all, he saw her join the link with his own eyes.
"I'll try to find a way to investigate the matter of the [Named Person]. Yeah, that group of people from the Silent Temple who you taught a lesson. They should know something."
"The Church of Silence? Oh, right, they're also one of the four major churches, huh?"
Little Gwen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused. After a while, she slowly spoke:
"Perhaps I also have some methods of acquiring knowledge."
Xiu Si was stunned for a moment, then realized: "The Temple of the Forgotten?"
"That's right!" Little Gwen's tone also became excited. "I'm currently analyzing everything in the Forgotten Temple. I will soon have a preliminary understanding of it! When that time comes, I will be able to freely browse everything in the Forgotten Temple, especially the knowledge and secret history!"
"That's great. But I have a small question." Hughes sighed. "How long will it take you to master this knowledge?"
Little Gwen was silent for a moment. After a moment, she spoke awkwardly, "It will take a year or two to master the Forgotten Temple. Then, I will search for this knowledge and gradually absorb it."
"Beatrice's ceremony will begin soon."
"Beatrice? Miss Scepter's real name is Beatrice? Oh, and speaking of rituals."
Little Gwen's tone became serious.
"Lina mentioned that the Named One cannot advance through the ritual. As for Miss Beatrice's ritual..."
"I'm afraid there's a big problem."
