233: 83.
Cooperate?
Do you even hear what you’re saying, Senior Cui Si!【23/60】_2 233: 83.
Cooperate?
Do you even hear what you’re saying, Senior Cui Si!【23/60】_2 “So, you beca rebellious two hundred years ago?”
Murphy asked in a strange tone:
“Or was the ‘Scarlet Witch’ back then truly wicked as you said, a lunatic vampire who fell into darkness?”
“Don’t pry into the past, fear that my ‘reputation’ back then might scare you.”
Lady Cui Si rolled her eyes and said:
“Besides, at that ti, I had already fallen for the cunning temptations of Salockdale, prepared to dedicate my own Blood Essence to that damned Seed of Life, okay?
Five years after Little Fennoch left alive, I was declared ‘dead’.”
“Hmm, after receiving news of your death, I was relieved that the church had lost a frightening enemy, and I gave thanks to the Avalon god for his favour on that day.”
The Lord of White Oak sighed and said:
“No wonder the Divine Spirit didn’t respond to that night…
you didn’t die at all!”
“Team captain, so your miraculous ‘unscathed victory’ was a lie that lasted two hundred years, wasn’t it?”
Natalie, the team leader standing beside him, with an astonished look of uncovering the truth, said to the expressionless team captain:
“During the Saint’s expedition 195 years ago, everyone was talking about how valiantly you fought the vampires, and you retreated unscathed under the protection of the Divine Spirit!
But the truth is…”
“There’s more.”
Adding the finishing touch, Cui Si gloomily said:
“He, set his sights on from the beginning of the ambush, and was subsequently banished by , almost the entire process without any effective attack.
His only contribution was probably giving a fright.
I thought that a crazy believer was going to take down with him in a faith suicide.”
“That’s just propaganda from the church.
After all, the ‘Saint’s expedition’ was from the beginning the irrational decision of the council of elders and resulted in a catastrophic defeat that should not have happened.
The believers should not know the cruel truth.”
Old Norfolk, on the other hand, remained calm.
He slowly explained to Natalie:
“The fact is, I did experience that war, although not in the way you know, I admit, it was not the act of a warrior.
But Natalie, you need to understand, the act of persisting in the face of despair is in itself a manifestation of courage!
Just like what we’re experiencing now.”
“You’re making sense!
How can we forgive, at this mont, this dangerous vampire?
She stole our relic!”
Natalie glared at the tipsy Cui Si, her hand clutching the hilt of the sword at her waist, she furiously said:
“The Seed of Life…
I’ve heard stories in my childhood about the Oak Sages singing praises to the magic of that seed!
It is said that when the seed was still in the Holy Land of Gram Island, the whole island was springlike all year round.
The blessings from the Avalon god were spread far and wide through the Seed of Life, allowing sincere people to always cure diseases, heal without dicine.”
“All lies, little girl, it’s all exaggerated by the church to vilify our image of vampires.”
Cui Si threw the empty bottle aside, stretched lazily to reveal a perfect curve, yawned and said to the angry Natalie:
“The truth is, when we went to steal the seed at that ti, the thing had been worshiped on the altar of Gram Island for 350 years.
But it was of no use!
The seed was recognised by the council of elders at that ti as just a mystery left by the Avalon god in the human world, and was worshipped just as a sacred object.
Its actual use was not even as useful as the three holy blades of your old church.
The three swords can at least cut people.
The seed is neither good-looking nor divine, otherwise do you think we could have stolen it so easily from the Avalon Church’s headquarters, which was thriving at that ti?
I admit, we shouldn’t have stolen.
But, your church’s defence was so weak that it wouldn’t have made sense not to take it, it would have been a waste of the risk we took.”
“This…”
Natalie was montarily speechless, she did not believe the cunning vampire’s words and turned to the team captain.
Old Norfolk was staring at Miss Phemys of Finoc and she was silent in the darkness.
After a mont, he nodded and said:
“What Lady Cui Si said is true.
Since the Seed of Life was gifted to the council of elders by the elven druids of the Castilla Peninsula 530 years ago, it has symbolised so kind of revelation of fate.
It was given together with the three Oak Holy Blades, symbolising the hope and blessing of the Avalon god for human believers.
However, when the elven sages gifted the Seed of Life, they said that if the seed didn’t sprout within 500 years, it would an that we had failed the trial of faith from the Avalon god.
It was moved to the New Holy Site on Gram Island after Avalon Church was recognised as the state religion in Yisha Kingdom, but the 350 years passed in a flash, and the seed did not change at all.
To my knowledge, the council of elders at that ti did indeed beco disappointed with it and took the warning of the elven sages as a symbolical taphor.
After the Seed of Life was stolen, the church’s intense reaction was not due to the value of the sacred item itself, but because they felt angry at the vampires’ provocation towards natural and righteous beliefs, and the believers roared for revenge and punishnt.
This led to the Second Black Night War that lasted for thirty years, allowing the fires of war in the na of faith to sweep across the continent.”
“That’s even a good thing!
You little girl who doesn’t understand anything.”
Cui Si gave a glance at the Great Oak blade next to the old knight, snorted, and said:
“It was precisely because I stole the useless Seed of Life that you gained the usage rights to the three Oak Holy Blades…
just like the sword next to Little Fennoch, I still rember it, haha, the famous White Knight blade ‘Vigilante’.”
