When Aiwass, who was wearing a bishop's red robe, opened the door of St. Guinevere's Chapel and walked inside, he had a hallucination in a trance.
At this moment, I seem to overlap with Bishop Mathers, who brought Aiwass here to learn sacred skills in the past.
Shaking his head slightly to dispel this strange feeling, Aiwass opened the door and let in the people outside.
Afterwards, Aiwass closed the door of the chapel, put on the miter and straightened it carefully. Then the light switch in the chapel was turned on.
In the chapel of St. Guinevere, the lights were brightly lit for an instant.
The backs of the thirty-seven white statues stored in niches on the left and right suddenly lit up.
"Huh"
Seeing this, Putao made a somewhat confused sound.
Si Zhu himself is the pillar god who controls light. Why are electric lights used in the Cathedral?
"Sherlock" suddenly tugged on his brother's arm and glared at Putao, who was playing Mycroft.
"It's okay, Mr. Hermes."
Aiwass smiled and shook his head, but he didn't know which "Hermes" he was calling. "Mr. Si" "It's normal to be surprised. After all, during the Candle Festival, St. Guinevere's Chapel is open and candles are lit."
I also helped her find a way to go back and make up for it. , I am so kind.
Aiwass was a little moved.
But what he said was not a lie.
"Although it may seem strange to install electric lights in such a quaint building, it is actually necessary."
Aiwass explained, "Because in the company Within the confines of the Cathedral, the act of lighting a candle has a certain divinity, or at least a special significance, as does the lighting of a kerosene lamp. Therefore, outside of festivals, festivals, and daily worship, the entire cathedral context is. No candles are allowed to be lit at will, and electric lamps are required for daily lighting.
“Before the invention of electric lights, lanterns were used here. Bring light in from the outside, or simply keep candles lit inside. In the past, the work of the deacons here included constantly changing the candles in the temple and taking care of them so that they would not go out.
He looked at "Mycroft" kindly and explained for him, "This is something that only priests usually know. It is normal for the Lord Chamberlain to not know." ”
When Aiwass was talking, all the statues in the chapel had been activated.
Seeing them looking towards the door, Aiwass lowered his head slightly and raised his hand gently. Touch the three candles of the religious crown above your head, and light them one by one. "Seventy-three forefathers may the candles of the priests watch over you." ”
Although Queen Sofia has died, she has not been buried here yet. Therefore, there are still only seventy-three pioneers who have received a state funeral.
Aiwass After taking a quick glance, I found that Sophia's shrine was ready, but insideThe surface still does not accommodate the icon.
It seems that Queen Sophia, who has walked on the path of dusk, no longer thinks about her own afterlife as before.
After Aiwass said the secret order, the icons calmed down and turned around again.
This is a special system in the Chapel of St. Guinevere. It ensures that even if someone gets the key through stealing or robbing, and allows someone with the power of light and fire to open the door, if they do not immediately pay tribute to the icons of the pioneers, the intruder guard mechanism here will be triggered. .
Aiwass led everyone to the innermost and the huge coffin placed in the center.
It is on high steps and looks like a throne.
A pure white statue of a saint is lying on the coffin. She is sitting aside and supporting her chin with her arms, as if she is taking a nap here. Her appearance is pure, dignified and sacred, with her long, silky hair hanging loosely. The coffin with intricate patterns was pressed down by his arms and hair, making it impossible to open it.
In a daze, Aiwass felt as if he saw Isabel.
She is somewhat similar to Isabel, but she doesn’t have the elf aura about her. She looked like a woman in her thirties, and could even be said to be Isabel's sister or mother.
"Take out the Queen's blood."
Aiwass took a deep breath and whispered.
This is the first time he has gone so deep, and it is also the first time he has seen Saint Guinevere and Lancelot I in person.
He stepped forward, took off his religious crown, and placed it on the coffin.
Aiwass reached out and touched the candle on the diadem, and the pure white flame seemed to be drawn over and burned quietly on his fingertips.
He used the flames like paint to write on the coffin.
"Why don't you let me become a god?"
Then, Aiwass reached out and lit a second candle and wrote again
"Why don't you let me become a god?" I became a mortal."
Finally, Aiwass lit the third candle, and then wrote the last secret message at the bottom
"The fool will be forgotten three times, and then he will be forgotten again. Return to the world."
After writing the three secret words, the pure white Guinevere statue opened its eyes.
She raised her head and stared at Aiwass with her beautiful pupils as dim as yellow grapes.
Then she held the church crown with the candle out in her arms, reached out and opened the coffin halfway to the side, stood up and stepped aside.
Only the upper body of Lancelot I could be seen from the half-opened coffin. His coffin was littered with withered flower petals, each petal stained with a drop of long-dried blood.
So Aiwass stepped aside and watched Olive step forward.
He first performed a complicated consecration ceremony, took out a lily from his arms, and thenThen the Queen's blood was poured on it. and inserted it into the heart of a lion, declaring it to be the heart of the Queen.
This lion's heart is dried because it can be used as a common ritual material. There is naturally no blood inside, so the Queen's blood is allowed to flow into it, and then drip again through the heart.
Normally, the Shadow of Avalon ritual requires the heart of a direct member of the royal family, but they cannot get it. Therefore, we can only use the "replacement" method in the ritual to let this powerful magician use it to replace it with other things.
The next moment, he pulled off a bloody lily and threw it into the coffin.
In an instant, the coffin began to boil
The shadows were boiling and boiling like living creatures, gurgling and overflowing outwards. The black smoke, as heavy as the smoke from dry ice, spread to the ground and wrapped around everyone's ankles, making them unable to move.
Olive solemnly picked up the dagger of Alondette that was retrieved by Aiwass and pierced it into the heart of the lion.
Blood dripped, and the blooming lilies withered and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I pierced it like a queen's heart."
Olive held up the bleeding lily, stretched out her hand slowly and forcefully to squeeze out the little remaining in the heart. Blood.
He spoke slowly and clearly, making sure that he did not say a word wrong. "Twenty-one founders of the country bowed their heads and wept, twenty-one Knights of the Round Table had their swords broken, and twenty-one Durak The blood is gone.
“The fool is gone, the scales of heaven are changing, and the warriors of the past have returned from a hundred battles.
"You will no longer be a king, a knight, or an apostle
"The time for revenge has come"
He said, Pulled out the blood-stained dagger from the lion's heart
Pierced it into the heart of Lancelot I in the coffin.
