The dream of this world has big problems

Chapter 489 Why is a group of evil spirits summoned by the decent Pope?

"Well, this outfit is still comfortable to wear." Lu Qing looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Because it was time for formal training, the previous set of princess costumes must not be worn anymore. After all, princess costumes are good-looking, but their practicality is much worse.

As for the clothes on her body, how to explain
There are magic props in this world, and she is a princess, so it is reasonable to have a space storage prop on her body.

Well, it's very reasonable, and even if the Pope has any doubts in his heart, he won't say it.

"It feels like something is missing."

Looking around, Lu Qing saw the crown on the table, and a hint of understanding appeared on her face.

"From today onwards, this crown is yours. It must be kept carefully, and it cannot be discarded at any time, because it is a symbol of your identity, understand."

Recalling the queen's instructions in my mind, although I can't see what the use of this crown is, but
Her identity in this dream world is a princess, even written on the title of the dream world.

【Spiritual Princess and the Forest of Ashes】

This identity should be more than just a random backstory.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing picked up the crown and put it on top of her head.

Looking at the mirror again at this time, although she had changed her clothes, the crown on her head did not look out of place at all.

"Well, it's comfortable now." Lu Qing put her hands on her hips and smiled slightly.

Leaving the room and walking down the stairs, at this time Charl had woken up and was sitting in the house boiling water.

Looking at Lu Qing's attire somewhat unexpectedly, Char said: "Good morning, Your Highness the Princess."

"Good morning, Uncle Char." Lu Qing greeted politely.

"Yes." Charles nodded, and then said, "The Pope and Knight Merren are already waiting for you outside the door."

"Okay, I know."

After Lu Qing finished speaking, she walked towards the door. Just as she was about to open the door, Charle remembered something again and said:
"Oh, by the way, tell the two people outside the door for me, breakfast will be ready in about an hour, don't forget to come back for dinner."

"Ah."

Nodding her head, Lu Qing said that she remembered it, and then opened the door and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the house, the icy wind and snow whizzed and blew on her face. Lu Qing looked into the distance and found that the Pope and Knight Myron were sitting and chatting by a bonfire.

"Good morning, Your Royal Highness."

Seeing Lu Qing coming to the bonfire, the Pope stood up and said hello.

"Good morning." Lu Qing nodded.

"His Royal Highness is in good physical condition." Knight Myron at the side thought to Lu Qing, who was unmoved by the cold wind.

Frey Mures was very cold, and Her Royal Highness was not wearing very thick clothes.

But at this time, the cold wind blew past, and there was not even a frozen red spot on her body.

In addition to physical fitness, Her Royal Highness's swordsmanship is also very good, as can be seen from the swordsmanship match with the Saro knight a few days ago.

"It's a waste of such a good talent not to be a knight." Knight Myron thought with some pity.

Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.

Is there a possibility that Her Royal Highness can learn the skills of [Spiritualism] while exercising her body and learning swordsmanship?
The more Knight Myron thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he planned to discuss it with the Pope tonight, otherwise it would be a pity to waste such a good talent.

The pope didn't know that Myron was planning to let Her Royal Highness improve both physical and legal skills.

At this time, he was organizing the language in his mind, thinking about where it would be better to start.

"Your Highness, do you believe in the power of the heart?" the Pope asked.

"Heart power?"

Lu Qing saw that the Pope had been brewing up such a sentence for a long time, and almost thought that she had heard it wrong.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Are you talking about spiritual power?"

"Hehe, just take it for granted." The Pope smiled softly, and didn't intend to explain, but began to explain the usage of [psychic] to her.

"If you want to perform [Spiritualism], you first need to have a certain degree of mental strength, and the main way to improve mental strength is meditation."

"As for how to meditate, I will teach you this at night, so don't worry about it now."

As the Pope said, he took out a polished wooden board from his pocket.

"You need to practice carving first now."

"Sculpture?"

Lu Qing looked at the wooden board in the Pope's hand suspiciously, not knowing what connection there was between [Spiritualism] and the carving.

"This is similar to the wooden masks that people carve when they die, but our wooden masks are not carved for the dead, but for the soul." The Pope explained.

Lu Qing, who carves wooden masks for people, knows that she has found a lot of books to read in order to understand the common sense of this world.

According to the customs of this world, after death, people have to go to the ground to rest in peace. Before burial, they usually find some skilled master carvers to carve wooden masks of the face of the deceased.

The reason for this is to prevent a creature called a face-changing spirit.

Legend has it that this creature will replace the dead person's face after death, making the rest of the world forget about the dead.

In order not to be forgotten, people carved a wooden mask that was exactly the same as the face of the deceased, so that the face-changing spirit replaced the wooden mask.

Of course, this is just a legend. No one knows whether the face-changing spirit really exists. It has become a custom to just carve wooden masks for the dead.

"A mask carved for the soul?" Lu Qing asked with some doubts, thinking about the books she had read these days.

"Yes."

The pope nodded, and then said: "People with [psychic] skills are not very capable in combat. Our fighting methods mainly rely on the souls we have recovered."

"And these souls usually need some carrier, and this carrier must be related to the recovered soul."

"Actually, the tradition of carving wooden masks for the dead did not exist a long time ago. It was only because people with [psychic] skills did so that this kind of saying gradually spread."

"As for the story of the face-changing spirit, it is completely fabricated."

After the Pope finished speaking, he took off the overcoat he was wearing, revealing a series of dozens of lifelike wooden masks hanging around his waist.

Before Lu Qing could carefully observe the appearance of these masks, a strange mental wave surged from the Pope's body.

In an instant, countless vicious and brutal evil spirits floated behind the pope, and the blackness almost covered the sky.

At this moment, the sound of the wind seemed to be much quieter, and even the ice and snow from outside did not dare to infect this place.

Lu Qing only felt a huge sense of oppression pressing on her body. As long as the Pope had a thought, these evil spirits covering the entire sky would swarm her and tear her to pieces.
