Chapter 1514: Chapter 1508: Secrets
"As the conversation ended, Orel quickly found what he was looking for on the bookshelf.
The King of Giant Beasts hardly gave Ronald and the others time to speak.
Holding the ancient book he had just retrieved, he took the lead in sitting down on a chair on the second floor, then spread the book flat on the table so everyone could see its contents.
Unfortunately, though.
Aside from Ronald, who possessed the ability to read without any barriers, the others only saw Martha’s eyes change slightly. Even Costate couldn’t recognize the content of the book.
The Priest spoke:
"I can recognize the date and numbers above; this should be a record of church events from long ago?"
Orel immediately affirmed Martha’s guess:
"What’s recorded here is the history, the last moments of the Holy Capital, and the most critical time of that history."
While Orel and Martha were talking.
Ronald’s gaze fell on the pages, already seriously reading its contents. The page he flipped to seemed intentionally done by Orel, beginning with quite an attractive record.
[After Priest Preton’s three-month experiment, it has been confirmed that the birth of a deity can be replicated. However, if following the ancient method, it would take a thousand years, and even with the aid of magic, creating a new one in a century would be considered extravagant.
The bay priest of North Island also reviewed this project, with conclusions similar to Priest Leipton, the range of changes is within normal limits...
The Priest commented —— Recreating the god of faith is impossible.]
[During the witch-hunting movement, after Sir Randall conquered the evil nest of the Three Clean Realms, he confiscated an evil male wizard’s research plan attempting to create a divine status. This event record was stored in the forbidden archives of the Holy Capital 130 years ago. Now, with the situation being dire, weighing the pros and cons, feeling the urgency, the black-robed priest Batty is ordered to retrieve it from the archives.

[The act of wizardry’s creation of divine status bears blasphemy/sacrilege. But God loves humanity, and humanity loves humanity. To protect the civilization heritage, this action is imperative, using evil means for a righteous cause.

[The Reversal Plan officially commences.
Phase one operation, planning to decode the witchcraft techniques of the Three Clean Realms within six months, deducing feasible manufacturing methods; phase two starts three months after phase one, collecting and conducting material experiments, communication work to be handled by Priest Fran; phase three...]
Ronald kept reading the content.
The densely packed information on the left and right pages recorded various events, but given the current situation, the articles involving the creation of divine status naturally attracted his attention the most.
Thus, it appears the church back then was in an emergency situation.
Blaspheming gods, learning and using the techniques of evil wizards, the involvement of numerous important church figures... for the highly esteemed church of that era, it was certainly an unimaginable endeavor.
However, what particularly caught Ronald’s attention was the part about the creation of divine status.
"So, the earliest construction of divine status was done on the wizard side."
Ronald’s light sigh immediately caught Orel’s attention.
The King of Giant Beasts turned his head and instinctively responded:
"After all, during that era, any research related to divine status was absolutely forbidden by the church. You could even say — if this discovery hadn’t been made, the church might never have imagined..."
Here, Orel’s actions suddenly stopped.
He stared at Ronald, blinked, and then belatedly exclaimed in surprise:
"Wait! You can understand the text above?"
"I can, but that’s not important." Ronald dismissed it with a wave of his hand, "The issue now is the goal you brought us here for. Since you’ve presented these things, they must have a crucial role, right?"
While talking with Orel, Ronald was also pondering another detail that caught his attention.
——[Three Clean Realms School]
According to Ronald’s information, the "Divine Comedy" original that he holds was once the original of the Three Clean Realms School. At this moment, the church records in front indicate one fact.
—— The earliest school to embark on creating divine status in this world.
—— Was precisely the Three Clean Realms!
Perhaps by chance, perhaps with hidden motives.
In any case, it is certainly a remarkable ’meeting’ that Ronald, who possesses the "Divine Comedy" original, stands here today.
With this thought, Ronald conveniently asked:
"Is the content recorded here accurate enough?"
With great confidence, Orel said:
"The Songs in the Woods haven’t been disturbed by external factors, these books have been well preserved. Also, during those last times, people within the church were more concerned with preserving the truth rather than embellishing words, so these contents are absolutely trustworthy."
Stating the reliability of the documents, Orel continued:
"Because they are reliable enough, that’s why I brought you here, looking for contents that can help."
As he spoke, the King of Giant Beasts left the book on the table.
He himself got up, turned his head, and continued flipping through the bookshelf.
Considering the language barrier issue, Orel initially sat at the table, ready to explain the book’s content to Ronald and the others.
Now that Ronald could understand it himself, he focused more on finding information, greatly increasing their efficiency in gathering data.
Meanwhile, staying at the desk, Martha smiled at Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, we leave it to you, then."
"After all, you know we have a reading obstacle with these documents; we can’t read them as effortlessly as you."
"I’ll choose the key points to explain, if you have questions, feel free to ask." Ronald nodded straightforwardly, pointing to the text as he began to narrate, "First, on this page, it talks about the premise of the artificial divine status plan and its arrangements at the beginning..."
Ronald began to explain the content on the page.
Martha and the other three were deeply rooted in the church, likely to offer significant help next, so Ronald was determined not to let them misinterpret the information.
And the newly appointed Priest also valued this matter greatly.
Whenever important details or confusing information appeared, Martha immediately asked questions, and the group continued to steadily receive information at the table.
During the reading process, Orel also brought scrolls documenting various information.
Building maps, sewage distribution, the locations of various departments in the Holy Capital, the main camp of the clergy group with a long inheritance, and records of various events that happened in the last moments of the Holy Capital...
The second floor of the library seemed isolated from external songs.
In the cold air, the hidden history of the past unveiled before everyone, advancing time alongside the ongoing rituals in the city."
