Nothing happened on the way to the Church of the Forgotten. Apart from encountering two policemen along the way, and a carriage transporting people infected with the petrified plague, only Shad and Sirius chatted to fill in the blank time.

The old church, even though it has undergone preliminary repairs in the past two months, still maintains a relatively dilapidated appearance. Today's Xia De can't count how many times he has passed through here, going back and forth between his house and this southern city.

After entering the main hall of the church, Sirius took a step ahead of Chard, and when the two of them walked through the carpeted walkway between the pews, the blonde girl stopped at her father's body beside.

Xia De knew that she was thinking complicated things at this time, and she must be thinking about quite a lot of things, so she didn't speak, and just waited quietly.

And Sirius didn't stay silent for too long, she suddenly said:

Let's remove this statue when this matter is over.

Sure, no problem, but where to move it? What about Randall Valley Public Cemetery?

Shad suggested, and Sirius nodded:

The opera troupe has its own cemetery, and most of my elders are buried there too. When the time comes, just arrange a simple funeral.

She pursed her lips and looked at the sitting stone statue:

After death, no matter what, they all return to the earth. The earth will always be with you and me.

After finishing speaking, he and Xia De entered the second half of the church from the corridor at the back, which is the path that Xia De usually takes. When Shad first came here in January, the damage to the church was quite serious, and almost all the area around the basement collapsed, so Shad had to use the Witch's Light to forcibly open the way out.

The recent repairs did not completely solve the collapsed ceilings and collapsed walls, but at least the girls of the Golden Dawn opened a path for Shad to go directly to the basement.

As for the two people's goals this time, it was not the basement with hidden walls where Mr. Lassus left the last trace, but the areas that had not been cleared.

I found out the last whereabouts of my father.

The illuminated ball of light floated as the two walked, and Sirius' voice sounded calm:

That was last weekend, the great witches had arrived, and Vanessa was busy with the final battle. Alone, I visited the Blossom Hotel where my father once lived in the city. The old shopkeeper seemed to know that I was coming, and gave me the things my father had left behind.

Just for you? At that time, Mr. Lathers thought that you would be the next guardian?

Xia De asked softly, and Sirius did not answer this question: Father left behind, and he finally confirmed all the research materials about this church based on the relics of an ancestor of the church purchased from Cassandra Auction House The location of the church. And the ancestor of the church guided my father to the confession room in the church. This time our destination is there.

That is to say, after Mr. Lassers arrived here more than ten years ago, he first went to the confessional, and then found the basement, and after he found that he could not enter, he left those messages on the wall.

So the location of the confessional...

Among the materials left by my father are the floor plans of the church. The confessional was in a collapsed area that hadn't been cleared out, and I was supposed to come with Vanessa, but it's not important now, and she has her own things to talk about.

Although Sirius didn't sigh when he spoke, Shad felt something was wrong no matter how he heard it:

You probably didn't ask her, did you? Indeed not.

If you tell her, I don't believe she won't come with you. You have known Miss Bernice for so many years, you should know her better than I do.

Sirius pursed his lips:

Now you know her better.

There seem to be different ways of understanding this sentence.

In short, according to the architectural drawings in the hands of Siris, although the location of the confessional is not in the core of the collapsed area, it is necessary to strengthen

It is not easy to carve out a path.

But fortunately, Sirius herself is the Seventh Ring, even without Xia De following her, she can open the way without damaging the main structure of the building.

So after a lot of effort, a new branch was opened up in the corridor behind the church, leading directly to the confessional.

The confession room of the Church of the Forgotten is the same as most other churches. The room is circular, and there are seven stone confession cabinets placed against the wall. They are small cabinets less than three square meters with curtains on the door. The inner wall full of holes divides the inside of the confession cabinet into two parts. The penitent kneels on one side and confesses to the priest sitting on the other side of the cabinet. They can only hear the voices of each other but cannot see people.

Although the corridors collapsed, the confessional remained relatively intact. Only one of the seven confessional cabinets was smashed, and the other six had no other problems except that they were covered with dust.

As for the other decorations and furnishings in the confessional, including the chandelier that fell on the ground, they have long decayed over time, and there is no need to check them.

The secret, should be in the six confessional closets.

Hillis said, but both she and Shad could perceive obvious traces of elements in those ancient prayer places.

In other words, the secret is not something that can be seen by opening the door. Let's go and see together.

Shad chose the one closest to the door. Due to confidentiality requirements, the priest's side exit of the confession cabinet is in another room, so he can only open the door that the confessor enters.

With a slight pull, the slightly deformed metal door embedded in the stone was opened, and the interior was a clean and tidy space, and there was even an intact long wooden chair.

Xia De was about to speak, but heard a vague male voice coming from the other side of the inner wall with the hole:

What are you going to confess? Come in, close the door and confess to me.

Shad raised his eyebrows, he was sure that there was absolutely no one on the other side of the inner wall. Just about to speak, Siris took his hand:

This is the path I'm looking for, here I come. OK

So Shad stepped aside, and Sirius walked in and sat down. Xia De wanted to close the door for her outside, but the young girl pulled Xia De in, and then the door was closed.

Of course, the confession cabinet can only be used by one person in normal use, so it is still a bit crowded for two people to squeeze in. But since she promised to accompany Sirius on her father's last journey, Shad would would complain about anything.

Father, I am guilty.

whispered the young girl in the dark, her head bowed, but her voice was calm;

I knew my father had greater things to accomplish, but I still resented him for abandoning me.

In the darkness on the other side of the inner wall, a vague man's voice continued to be heard:

It is normal to long for the love of parents. It is also understandable that your father abandoned the family for the sake of the world. No one is at fault in this matter. This is a joke of fate. fate?

Sirius was silent for a moment: I understand.

There was no sound coming from the other side, but something was stuffed in the bottom of the inner wall, in the gap less than a finger wide between the two spaces.

Xia De bent down and lit the moonlight on his fingertips to see, and found that it was a fragment of a mirror, judging from the size, it was about one-third of the mirror. Move on to the next one.

The blonde girl said, but before Shad tried to push the door to leave the small space, she asked Shad again:

I hate my father, is that really something that can be forgiven?

He has indeed abandoned you and thrown all responsibility on you. and

Moreover, you are not hating, but have resentment. Otherwise, I would not insist on following in the footsteps of Mr. Lasses, just to let him tell the story of what happened back then.

purpose of doing so.

Although it was pitch black in the confession cabinet, but because the distance was too close, Shad's dark vision could completely help him, seeing the slight smile on Sirius' face:

So, let's move on.

From the appearance of the six confession cabinets, there is no difference, so Shade simply opened the next one in a clockwise order~lightnovelpub.net~Because the first one is not dangerous, so Shade, who was originally cautious, also relaxed some vigilance. Unexpectedly, just after the door of the second confession cabinet was opened, transparent silk threads like spider webs were sprayed out from the darkness.

Even if Xia De dodged to the side at the last moment, the left half of his body was still covered by those silk threads. For a moment, his brain seemed to be forced into a stone, but fortunately, when he first came to this world, he had the experience of his head being forced into a brick, so he forcibly endured the spinning and severe headache.

But even so, he still couldn't help but say lines that didn't belong to him:

I hate him, I hate him! Memory thread!

Sirius exclaimed, took Shad's right hand and led him back quickly. Then he used thaumaturgy to call out a transparent knife, like performing an operation, and quickly picked away most of the transparent silk thread that had been dissolved on Xia De's body.

I'm fine, watch out, something's coming out!

Shad sounded a warning, he was supported by Sirius, but his right hand still pointed in the direction of the door that was just opened.

Under the light of the silver moon, Sirius Lasers walked out from the second opened door with a hateful expression on his face.

She didn't look at Xia De at all, but stared directly at Sirius: I hate him! I hate him!

As he said that, he rushed directly to Sirius, and Xia De drew out the moonlight sword with his right hand and pierced the ground:

Seal of Heaton!

The golden shield with the streamer exploded towards the surroundings, blocking the hated Sirius outside. Though she was smoking black,

There was an extreme expression on his face, but the actual combat power shown was far inferior to the real Seven Rings Warlock Sirius.
