Chapter 248 I’m Here to Purchase Goods
"Come." Huo Lun led Xia Yanzhen into the room and pointed to the book on the shelf. "The Book of Sacred Purification is a sacred object in the church that only the sanctifying priest is qualified to touch."
"If the Cardinal can't do it, then the Pope can't do it either?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Of course His Majesty the Pope can, but do you expect His Majesty the Pope to go to the battlefield in person? This book is a weapon." Huo Lun said.
The implication is that as second-tier cardinals, they cannot be touched.
"Will you die if you come into contact with it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
He thought of the Necronomicon lying peacefully in the imprinted space.
"High probability." Huo Lun did not hide it.
"So that's it, I'm the only one who can become the holy priest?" Xia Yanzhen asked one more question.
"Well, you're the only one now," Hollen said.
It is not easy to hold a consecration ceremony. Just requiring the Pope and all cardinals to take action is a high threshold.
Then, there is a chance that people will die during the consecration ceremony.
In the ten years since the outbreak of the Black Death, the church held a total of five consecration ceremonies.
Two people died directly during the ceremony, and three people passed smoothly.
Then, all three died at the "hands" of the Holy Book of Purification.
The threshold is high and the mortality rate is also high. It makes sense that in such a large church, there is currently only one sanctifying priest like Xia Yanzhen.
The rarity of consecrated priests.
This is also the reason why Huolun and even the Pope don't care much about Xia Yanzhen's attitude of looking straight at him.
They have enjoyed too many adoring looks and gestures.
Already numb to this.
The cardinals didn't care about the young people's arrogance as long as they didn't collide with them.
This is the kindness of the superior and the generosity of the elders.
And if this Anderson dies like the others, he is a dead man and nothing to worry about.
If he is not dead, he is a very useful tool man.
Even among the cardinals, he is somewhat thin-faced, and his status is comparable to that of a blood-armored knight.
If he can make great contributions, he will be even higher than the blood armored knight.
Huo Lun's face became serious as he watched Xia Yanzhen reach out and pick up the Book of Sacred Purification.
"very good."
Ten seconds later, seeing that there was nothing unusual about Xia Yan, Huo Lun showed a satisfied smile and said, "Open it now."
Xia Yanzhen looked at the Book of Sacred Purification.
The look of this book is neither sacred nor purifying.
The whole book is black, as thick as a brick, and the size is the same as a sixteenth-vote modern book.
The back cover is thick and the pages inside are slightly smaller than the back cover.
Basically, it is a dictionary style that is not that thick, just like the Necronomicon.
The pages inside were white—that yellowish white.
The back cover is black, like a relief, and the surface is covered with complex and mysterious patterns.
Xia Yanzhen, with zero "occult" knowledge, could not understand the meaning of these patterns at all.
I just feel that it is a little rough to the touch, and there are some ups and downs.
If you use it to prop up your feet and perform sole massage, the effect will probably be similar to that of an acupressure board?
【Book of Divine Purification】
[One of the holy relics handed down by the Eternal Church. It has such a long history that even the best scribe of the church does not know the origin of this book. It is rumored that the time when this book appeared is much earlier than the time when the Eternal Church appeared. 】
[Someone once held this book and created a bright future for the church, but ultimately died from this book. Since then, the holy object has become a 'death-killing object'. After countless years, only few people can touch it, let alone use it. 】
[Please do not touch it unless you are prepared to die. 】
[This book is actually not complete. If another part can be found, it may be more powerful, and of course, it will be more dangerous. 】
After hearing Huolun's words to open the book, Xia Yanzhen opened the book of sacred purification while reading the information that emerged.
On the first page inside, there is a drawing of a dagger that is very close to a cross, or if turned upside down, it looks like a cross of a dagger.
The end is sharp and sharp, you can detect it just by looking at the painting.
"Tear it off," Hollen said.
It is true that for many, many years in the Church, no one had access to the Book of Divine Purification.
But how to use it, it is still preserved, and Huo Lun knows better.
Xia Yanzhen followed Huolun's command and tore off the page.
The pages were ripped out very smoothly without any hindrance, even easier than tearing out an ordinary book.
"Throw it out," Hollen continued.
Xia Yanzhen threw the pages out. The pages floated in the air and fell to the ground.
"..."
Xia Yanzhen looked at Huolun.
Huo Lun frowned and was about to say something when the pages of the book floated up again, shattered into a large number of light spots, and condensed into a cross dagger.
"Ha, it worked!" Huo Lun laughed, "This is cross purification!"
Xia Yan really had no expression. He could only see a book page floating there. According to Huo Lun, the page should have turned into a cross dagger painted on it?
The pages of the book floated around Xia Yanzhen again - floating next to the book of sacred purification.
Xia Yanzhen lifted the book of sacred purification, and the pages of the book floated upward with his movements.
Then, Xia Yanzhen thrust forward, and the pages of the book whizzed away at an extremely fast speed.
A big hole was made in a wooden box.
Xia Yanzhen kept flipping the book of sacred purification, controlling the pages to fly up and down, as if he were playing a small aircraft controlled by gestures and body senses.
This time there was no need for Huolun to remind him. Xia Yanzhen continued to turn the pages of the book, and the next dozens of them were all cross daggers.
Xia Yanzhen tore out the pages completely and threw them out.
Many pages of books were suspended around him, like a large number of "remote control airplanes".
And it has quite good lethality.
It gave Xia Yan the feeling of controlling a drone weapon.
"Hmm... is it a drone of the magic system?" Xia Yanzhen moved the book of sacred purification back, and all the pages flew back.
As Xia Yanzhen closed the book, they all returned.
There are no traces at all where it was torn off.
Xia Yanzhen flipped down again, but found that the pages at the back were completely glued together and could not be opened.
"No more?" Xia Yanzhen looked at Huolun and asked.
"No more?" Huo Lun was also a little surprised. He leaned over and looked at the Book of Sacred Purification, indicating to Xia Yanzhen to look through it again.
Xia Yanzhen showed the glued pages.
"How could this happen..." Huo Lun's expression was a little ugly.
No one has used this relic that has been handed down for many years.
The history of the church records the glory of the Holy Book of Purification, and the "Purifying Cross" came overwhelmingly to eliminate the power of heresy.
But it's impossible to write. There are only more than thirty of them now, and they can't be opened later.
"After all, it's an old antique. It may be broken. It's okay to just have these." Xia Yanzhen said.
Huo Lun was not satisfied, not to mention that the former glory could not be restored.
The "purification cross" composed of more than thirty cross daggers is simply not enough to look at.
"There are other holy objects." Huo Lun said, "Let's try one."
The tone was a little weak.
With the increasing performance of the ancient sacred object, the Book of Sacred Purification, the status of "Sanctified Father Anderson" has shown a parabolic decline.
Sacred objects have a long history, and it’s hard to say how much of their recorded “glory” remains today.
Huolun came to the other side of the room and opened a black iron box: "See if you can pick this up."
Xia Yanzhen walked over and saw some mainly black clothes placed inside.
He put down the Book of Divine Purification and picked up the top item.
You can see it after unfolding it.
This is a black coat, somewhat similar to the priest's clothing, but not exactly the same.
The girdle feeling is obvious, there is no priest's shawl, and the hem from the waist is slightly open outwards.
It looks like it has its own "wind blowing" effect, which is much more chic than the dull and serious priest uniform.
The red waistband and complex patterns on the edges make this long black coat look very heavy and have a sense of history.
There won't be the light and airy feeling that some COS costumes are worn by paper people.
"It's good if you can pick it up." Huo Lun said, "This clothes is extremely heavy for those who are not suitable for it."
Twelve blood-armored knights joined forces and were barely able to lift one of them.
Not to mention wearing it on a person, even if it only slightly covers a person, it can directly crush the person and crush him to death.
"These are the clothes worn by the former consecrated priest. They have no names. Including the ones below, they are invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire. Even the sword of the blood-armored knight cannot leave scratches on it." Huo Lun introduced. .
"The swords of the blood-armored knights. I remember that the swords they used were very ordinary, right?" Xia Yanzhen said.
The blood armor knight mainly relies on the eternal blood armor.
The weapons they used were of ordinary level. For example, Eve's broad sword, which looks like a door panel, looks very intimidating.
In fact, they are not even equipment props.
Even Eve herself can break it off abruptly.
If you think that the blood-armored knight's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced without weapons, you have been deceived.
Those weapons are deceptive.
"There are also very sharp ones." Huo Lun said, "In short, the defensive power of this clothes is no less than the eternal blood armor."
"Oh." Xia Yanzhen nodded.
Horan's knowledge of this coat was obviously insufficient.
In Xia Yanzhen's eyes, the following information emerged:
[Prisoner of Darkness (Coat)]
[Darkness imprisons light. Although this thing has been circulated in the Eternal Church for many years, it is not a thing of the Eternal Church. The original purpose was to imprison a powerful being in the church, but it was later slightly tampered with. 】
[Heavy, Prisoner of Darkness is extremely heavy for anyone, and it is difficult to move after wearing it. 】
[Tough, Prisoner of Darkness is difficult to damage from the inside or outside, and it can also withstand and absorb external attacks. This has led many people to mistakenly believe that this is clothing designed to protect the wearer. 】
[Repair, after being damaged, the Prisoner of Darkness will repair itself. 】
[Adaptation, the Prisoner of Darkness will automatically adapt to the size of the prisoner. 】
[After putting on all the Dark Prisoners (jackets, tops, pants), the Dark Prisoners' special abilities will be activated - never-ending. 】
[Never-ending: With your physical body, your soul will be imprisoned in the prison of darkness, unable to die, and experience eternal hunger, pain, and despair. 】
【Endless torture! 】
"I'm here to purchase goods. The church is such a good person."
After reading the description of Prisoner of Darkness, Xia Yanzhen sighed in his heart.
