Chapter 215 Don't Worry, I'm Watching You
"Miss Helvinia, we are here."
The boat is moored at the pier.
Hevinia walked out of the cabin and was immediately attracted by a high mountain that stretched before her.
Although this was Hevinia's first time here, she knew that the mountain in front of her was the "holy mountain" of Shengyin, and the First Academy was also built halfway up this holy mountain. From where she was, she could only barely see the outline of the ancient city wall in the swirling clouds.
"Miss Hevinia, is this your first time at the First Academy?" asked the Lawrence family's housekeeper.
"Yes." Hevinia nodded slightly, her eyes full of yearning, "But I've heard many people say a long time ago that climbing the Holy Mountain means entering the Lord's vision... Is this true, Mr. Delin?"
"You're half right. It's not about vision." Delin smiled and tapped his ears. "The Lord doesn't watch, but He listens. He listens to every corner of the Holy Sound. He just pays more attention to the Holy Mountain. After all, it's the closest place to the Lord."
Helvinia nodded, and then said with some worry: "I hope the Lord won't hate me."
"How could that be?" Delin said with a smile, "Miss Helvinia, your melody is definitely the Lord's favorite."
"It would be great if that were the case." Hevinia still looked a little worried.
After a day of rest, although Hevinia's body had not fully recovered, her mental state had been adjusted to a large extent.
While talking to Delin, she was also able to listen to Bai Wei's sighs.
"Have you noticed that the vast majority of believers believe that their Lord lives in heaven?"
"...most of them?" Helvinia asked. "Are there any other places?"
"Tianqin, haven't you been there before?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Isn't there also a giant tower there that is said to reach the sky? But it seemed to have collapsed when you went there."
Hevinia also thought back to that brief experience, then shook her head: "I don't remember it very clearly."
"Oh?" Bai Wei was a little surprised. "Forgetting things is not like your style. Besides, Tianqin's ecological structure is completely different from Shengyin's. Don't you care more about it?"
"I want to care, but there's nothing I can do." Helvinia said calmly, "Maybe it's because what happened to me those days made me care more than Lyra herself."
"The special things you encountered in Tianqin..." Bai Wei recalled briefly, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, you are talking about me."
Before Hevinia could respond, Bai Wei laughed again.
"It seems that I am indeed more important than the God of Lyra."
Hevinia didn't know how to answer for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she turned the topic to "the place where God lives".
"Don't gods live in heaven?" Helvinia asked.
"It depends on how you understand the word 'heaven'." Bai Wei replied with a smile, "If it means literally, living above our heads, living in the sky, then that is definitely not right. Otherwise, how can we see the sun but not God?"
"Come this way, Miss Helvinia." Delin led the way. "We are going to prepare to climb the mountain. I think the young master should be waiting for you."
Hevinia nodded slightly, followed Delin, and listened very carefully to Bai Wei's slow and leisurely tone of voice.
Most of the knowledge related to God is unverifiable legends. Even the professors of the three colleges cannot guarantee that what they say is true, so most arguments begin with "we guess".
But Bai Wei is different.
He really had dealings with God.
So every time he talked about something related to God, Hevinia would write it down carefully.
If conditions allowed, she would even want to write it down in a notebook.
"God lives in the 'Kingdom of God', but the 'Kingdom of God' does not actually exist in this world, or rather, it does not exist in the world as people know it."
Bai Wei briefly talked to Hevinia about the concepts of two, three and four dimensions, and Hevinia quickly understood them.
After a brief thought, Helvinia asked, "So, God can touch the world at will, but it is difficult for people in the world to touch the kingdom of God?"
"You can understand it that way...at least that's how it used to be."
"……before?"
"Yes, in the past, gods could freely step into the human world. At that time, they were not as high and mighty as they are now. They were a powerful group that could be seen and touched." Bai Wei said, "But later on, this became impossible."
"It stopped working later?" Hevinia asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"Yeah~ That's why~"
Hearing Bai Wei's strange tone, Hevinia realized that he was going to be a riddler again, so she wisely stopped asking questions.
After all, this kind of thing has happened more than once, and Hevinia has become accustomed to it.
But to Hevinia's surprise, Bai Wei actually gave an explanation this time.
"Don't think I don't want to tell you." Bai Wei said calmly, "It's just that knowing this will not benefit you, but will harm you."
Helvinia said, "Is there anything in this world that can harm me under your gaze?"
"Flattering is useless." Bai Wei smiled, "I really can't tell you, because this fact will lead to serious consequences."
Bai Wei paused, then suddenly changed his tone and said,
"As long as you have that thought in your mind, it is possible that the gods will sense it, and as long as you speak those words, the gods will watch you."
Hevinia was stunned at first, and then her pupils condensed slightly.
She realized that Bai Wei was not joking.
...As long as you have that thought, it will be sensed by the gods, and if you say those words, they will be watched by the gods.
What kind of fact is this?
Helvinia had never heard of such a thing.
"Haha, you're surprised, right?" Bai Wei said, "Most people in this world don't know about this, even the popes of the major churches. This is because this is the most untouchable secret of the gods, and now I'm the only one who knows this secret. So I didn't tell you for your own good. I didn't tell my first two partners, and I didn't even mention it. Of course, the more important reason is..."
Bai Wei's extremely serious tone made Hevinia subconsciously hold her breath: "What...?"
"Yes..." Bai Wei answered seriously, "They didn't ask either."
Hevinia blinked, not understanding Bai Wei's meaning at first.
After she realized what was happening, she was still a little confused: "Are you... kidding me?"
"Ah." Bai Wei said in surprise, "Did you react so quickly?"
Hevinia: "..."
"Hey, don't make that expression. I'm not kidding." Bai Wei said with a smile, "That thing is indeed true. The reason I can't tell you is that, so far, no one except me can bear the consequences. I can bear it because the gods can't see me, but you are different. So, don't think about it for now. For most people, knowing this will not bring any benefits, but only the greatest risks."
Bai Wei had said so much, and Hevinia could only nod. After all, before this, Bai Wei was too lazy to explain and just laughed it off.
At this time, Hevinia, the butler and others had already left the dock and arrived at the main entrance of the academy at the foot of the mountain.
Helvinia could already see Phenix and a carriage waiting there, pulled by several unicorns.
At this time, Bai Wei spoke again: "But there is one thing that the people here are right about. This mountain is indeed the closest place to the Lord of Holy Sound. I can feel His presence, and the closer I get to it, the stronger His presence becomes."
Hevinia was stunned for a moment, then she subconsciously raised her head and took another look at the First Academy surrounded by snow and clouds.
It was not known whether it was influenced by Bai Wei's words, but Hevinia seemed to really feel that there was a powerful and suffocating force standing above the sky.
"Will He find you?" Helvinia asked.
"That's not the case, but I can't go too far." Bai Wei said with a smile, "So, I will slightly weaken the connection between us and won't directly intervene in your body like before."
“…Like at the beginning?”
"Maybe you're even weaker than at the beginning. After all, you can't use my power freely now." Bai Wei shrugged Hevinia's shoulders again. "If I can't fight for you personally, you'll have to rely on yourself most of the time."
Hevinia nodded slightly.
She didn't know why, but Bai Wei's words gave her a complicated feeling.
She didn't quite understand why. The fact that Mingwei could no longer control her body freely, shouldn't that be a good thing for her?
Hevinia couldn't figure it out, her mind felt messy.
Although her body and mind have mostly recovered since she woke up on the boat, she still feels like something is missing.
I have always felt depressed.
The notebook in her pocket weighed less than a pound, but she felt it was heavy and could hardly hold it.
This feeling became even more obvious when Bai Wei said that she would have to rely more on herself in the future.
But Hevinia also knew that she had to adjust immediately. After all, the First Academy was more dangerous than the Third Academy, and one could lose his life if he was not careful.
So Helvinia took a deep breath, letting the cold wind that filled her nostrils awaken her spirits.
But at this time, she heard Bai Wei say, "Look at this."
She was stunned.
Because she saw that Bai Wei controlled her hand and made a gesture to her.
A thumbs-up...
What does this mean?
Before Hevinia could figure it out, she suddenly felt changes in her body.
The vision became brighter and the pungent cold wind became fresher.
The whole body becomes energized.
Even the extremely suppressed emotions were relieved in an instant and even became active.
It seems that anything ahead is no longer worth fearing.
What is that?
Helvinia realized that it was the finger that was doing the trick.
"This is……"
"It's just a trivial trick." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Do you feel better now?"
Hevinia was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
"That'll do."
Bai Wei said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm always watching you."
…
Rhine, Church of the East.
"Your Excellency, this is the new week's work briefing." The handsome priest smiled and handed Rocky a document. "Would you like to take a look?"
Rocky just glanced at it, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Just do it."
"Yes, Bishop." The handsome priest took the document back as if nothing had happened. Then he asked Rocky with a little concern, "Bishop, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Rocky, sitting in the chair, glanced at the handsome priest.
If it were in the past, if Father Qingxiu had said this, he would have definitely made the other party share his worries severely.
But now, he was not in the mood.
The reason is very simple.
The most important thing to him was gone.
Of course, it’s gone temporarily.
His [Disturbance], the powerful force that he treasured, had disappeared for nearly half a month.
In the past half month, he has been giving himself a thumbs up in the mirror every day.
If it were in the past, he would definitely roar with pride.
But in the past half month, even if he could reach the sky, it would be of no use.
The body has no response.
It was all because of the “game” that happened in Taoyuan Township and Ulu half a month ago.
The thought of this made Rocky gnashed with hatred.
Is he cerebral palsy? Why did he have to play such a suspicious game with that guy?
And I was cheated!
Rocky was really angry, and he was worried besides being angry.
He was afraid that Uru would really use his [Disturbance] to do something. You know, that guy already had at least two corpses, and another rule, even if it was just a one-time thing, was simply unimaginable.
Especially when Rhine has sent out the Devourers to surround and kill them.
Rocky naturally knew how powerful the Devourer was. Logically speaking, once bitten, he would not be able to escape even if there were two pieces of his body.
But what if Uru really escaped with his [Disturbance]?
If it was really because of this that Rhine missed the opportunity to catch him, Rocky couldn't even imagine what he would face.
He has not yet reported this matter to His Majesty Rango.
After all, he was scolding Corey for being an idiot for losing his eyes, but now he has thrown away his own rules.
Although it's not completely lost, it's still very embarrassing.
After all, if they asked him how he lost it, should he tell the truth?
Lost in gambling?
Can you say that?!
Rocky didn't dare to imagine how the other three guys would look at him after finding out about this.
Please, he is not a fool, he is just temporarily fooled!
As the one-month deadline approached, Rocky became more and more restless.
He hoped that Uru could use up his power quickly and return it to him, but he was also afraid that Uru would really use his power to do something terrible and end up putting the blame on him.
This feeling is like a sword hanging over your head, and you are always on edge because you don't know when it will fall.
This kind of anxiety tormented him for a whole half month. He was so angry that he couldn't get rid of it. He was almost going crazy.
In that case...
Rocky glanced at the handsome priest.
Let me vent first.
Rocky stood up slowly and looked down at the handsome priest who was half a head shorter than him.
"Kneel down," he said.
Faced with Rocky's oppressive words, the handsome priest was not afraid at all, and even showed a happy expression.
He walked slowly to Rocky as usual.
Then, there was a loud "boom".
Get down on your knees.
Two holes were pressed into the wooden floor.
The handsome priest stared at Rocky blankly.
Because the person kneeling down... is Rocky.
"My Lord, Bishop?" The handsome priest was panicked. "What's wrong with you?"
Rocky was speechless and felt his body being hollowed out in an instant.
But... it's the time when I'm most unprepared.
And this feeling... is all used up.
He roared in his heart.
Uru!
How do you use my abilities?
What did you do?!
