Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

"Half-demon transformation, or apostle transformation, is a mutation that is different from the beast transformation you have. I didn't expect that Yharnam still has such a technology. Did you also obtain this technology in Anor Londo?"

Erin fell silent.

Seeing Irene's performance, Hohenheim spoke again:

"And it also turned many ordinary people in Qiaoya, whether civilians or slaves, into beasts. It seems that the Healing Church can not only suppress the curse that covers everyone in Yharnam, but also spread it... "

"Furthermore, I also heard that Qiao Ya has been conducting slave trade with Yanan and purchases a large number of slaves every year. According to what you described, Yanan should not be able to accommodate such a large population. Those slaves, Yanan will What are they used for?"

Every sentence Hohenheim slowly narrated, although his tone was gentle, the essence revealed in the words impacted Irene.

The young hunter is always struggling on the balance between animality and humanity.She didn't want to become a beast, so she wanted to maintain her humanity. While retaining her humanity, she didn't lose her human conscience.

"Yanan is not as simple as it appears on the surface. According to your description, Yanan's duty is to explore and explore lost ruins. However, he encountered a curse in the process."

"In order to prevent the curse of lycanthropy from spreading outwards, Yharnam was sealed off, and you cursed people were trapped in Yharnam. If this is the case, from the perspective of humanity and order, Yharnam's approach It’s quite respectable.”

"But now...polluting Qiao Ya with the curse of lycanthropy, creating apostles shaped by chaotic karma. These actions have revealed that Yanan, or the healing church in charge of Yanan has a greater prayer, deeper conspiracy."

"Or is it that the purpose of healing the church is related to 'God'?"

When she heard Hohenheim mentioning God, Irene raised her head suddenly and stared at Hohenheim.

Hohenheim nodded: "It seems so..."

"'God' is related to Anor Londo? The ancestors of Yharnam and the Healing Church came to Slaver's Bay to break the seal of the Forbidden Land and excavate this ruins because of 'God'?"

Chapter 151 The Secret of Yanan

The conversation with Irene was not only a process of obtaining information, but also an attempt to prove previous conjectures.

The Devil's Egg involves high-level power, and the Yharnam ancestors came to this land for the more completely sealed ruins next to Rome.

There is indeed something not very good in that ruins.

At that time, Kazama would rather open up than explore the ruins. This caution was quite correct.

But now it seems that even if human beings have no intention of touching some terrible taboo in this world, the aboriginal people of this world have such thoughts first.

There is some kind of god in the ruins called Anor Londo, and Yharnan has been exposed to it a long time ago.

But the current Slaver's Bay has not been affected, and when observing the ruins from the Roman side, at least on the Roman side, the blockade against Anor Londo is still intact.

In other words, even if the people of Yanan are exposed to taboos, they are still extremely limited.

If Yanan wasn't trying to block the taboo, then he had other plans.For example - truly open the ban and completely unblock the things there.

Cause and effect... karma...

Hohenheim thought of both.

The opening of the demon eggs requires the city-state to fall into chaos, and Yanan gave those demon eggs in order to collect karma and serve as the key to liberating something terrible...

Hohenheim suddenly had a deeper guess in his mind, but further confirmation was needed.

While thinking quickly in his mind, Hohenheim still kept his eyes on the crow hunter in front of him, waiting for her next answer.

But Eileen shook her head:

"I don't know, but I know that the Healing Church is definitely not just to prevent the curse from spreading beyond Yanan."

"Because those curses were spread by Yanan himself."

"The disease of lycanthropy is not caused by anything we have violated, but is imposed on each of us by the Healing Church."

"The medicine that the Healing Church distributes to everyone can suppress lycanthropy, but the medicine itself is the carrier of lycanthropy."

"I don't know the specific reason why the Healing Church does this, but I am sure that the Healing Church does this for the sake of the god they believe in, Flora, the God of Blood Moon."

"why?"

Hohenheim asked:

"How did you come to this conclusion, or have you seen the existence of Healing Church worship?"

Erin shook her head: "None of them."

"I have no contact with verifiable truth. All I have contact with is just conjecture and speculation."

"That came from a mission I performed before escaping Yharnam."

Crow Hunter slowly told her past.

In fact, Irene's status in the Healing Church is not low. Her strength is comparable to that of warriors who have been baptized with secret medicine twice, and she can be called an elite hunter.Among the entire Healing Church hunters, there are not many such elites.

More importantly, the leader of the hunters and the second person under the Archbishop of the Healing Church - 'Holy Sword' Ludwig was her teacher.Erin is also considered a candidate to be the next hunter leader.

At that time, Eileen was on a mission to hunt down a Yharnam citizen who had completely turned into a beast.

The mission is ordinary, that's what a hunter does.But the Yharnan people who fell into beasts were not ordinary, they were a 'scholar'.

The Healing Church has very strict management of knowledge. Except for the clergy of the church, ordinary people cannot have access to text-related knowledge.Even the hunters are mostly illiterate.

But Eileen knew how to write, which was taught to her by her teacher.

After Erin hunted down the Yharnam people who turned into beasts, she found a notebook on his body.

"What is recorded in the notes is the history of the ancestors of Yanan from the time they came to this land to the present."

Eileen said to Hohenheim:

"To be precise, it records the history of the worship of gods in the Healing Church."

"At the beginning of the notes, when the ancestors of Yharnam first arrived here, the Healing Church was not yet a church. They were called the 'Healing Society' at the time. It was an organization composed of researchers, and perhaps there were many spellcasters among them. "

"The ancestors of Yanan came to this land either because they were oppressed by the King's Hall, or they came to this land to pursue the lost history and civilization of ancient times."

"But as time passed, as a hole was opened in the Forbidden Land, and as scholars came into contact with the lost Anor Londo."

"The Healing Society has transformed from an academic organization for research purposes to a church that worships gods. Even the system has been completely changed."

"But the changes go far beyond that... The Healing Church is literally changing all the time."

"In the beginning, the god of the Healing Church had no name, only a code name. At the same time, he did not have any specific image, only a simple symbol as a symbol."

"But as time went by, the god of the Healing Church began to take on a specific image, and the clergy built a statue of him. And within these 100 years, the god of the blood moon had a name again, and we called him ' Flora'"

"When I finished reading this notebook, I instinctively felt fear. The records in the notebook compressed a long history that is difficult for us to understand into a line, and this line gave me the feeling of..."

Hohenheim continued Eileen's words: "It's like the god was born slowly, from abstract to concrete, from nothing to something..."

"That's right..." Erin nodded: "My feeling is that a true god was born from the faith of the Healing Church."

"It's just that it doesn't matter... After all, it's a god. As long as a god can bring blessings, then his existence is the best thing."

"But, by accident, I came into contact with that god."

Although Yharnam is ruled by the church, the demand for faith is not that high.Even the members of the hunter organization are just superficial believers.

The predecessor of the Healing Church was an association for the pursuit of knowledge, not a formal church. Compared to the King of France's Hall, it was really different.

But because of the note, Irene secretly watched the prayer ceremony held by the bishop.

From then on, the bloody moon would often appear in her dreams.

Irene thus came into contact with the Blood Moon God. This contact was not profound and was only superficial, but Irene deeply felt the essence of the Blood Moon.

Cold, brutal, primitive, chaotic, all negative descriptions can be used to describe that god.

As for gods, apart from monotheism, in the concept of polytheism, gods are divided into good and evil.

And the Blood Moon God that Irene felt was like the carrier of all evil, making her feel extremely fearful.

Chapter 152 The Secret of Yanan

"So, for this reason, you escaped from the Healing Church and Yanan."

Hohenheim raised an eyebrow.

The new information revealed by Erin's words seems to have overturned the previous speculation.There seems to be another secret about this 'god' thing.

"Yes, for this reason I found an opportunity to escape from Yanan."

"Yanan didn't hunt you down, but let you go free?"

"Judging from the results... it is like this."

Eileen nodded and said:

"The discipline of hunters has always been strict, and ordinary people cannot escape from Yharnam. So I should be the only one who has escaped from Yharnam in the past hundreds of years."

"Yanan does not allow anyone to go out of the city. I originally thought it was to prevent the spread of lycanthropy. But it later proved that this is not the case. Yanan simply does not allow anyone to go out. Even if it is dispatched A group of hunters pursues the fleeing hunter.”

"Moreover, the church may feel that without the restraint of the medicine, I will turn into a beast sooner or later and destroy myself in madness."

"But it also made me realize two things... One is what I mentioned above. Yanan's isolation from the world is not simply to prevent the spread of lycanthropy."

"The other is...the potion that suppresses lycanthropy."

"That potion is not an antidote, but the culprit of the disease. Although drinking the potion can indeed delay the process of turning into a beast, the backlash of the next animal transformation will be even more violent."

As a person who has experienced it personally, Erin is qualified to judge the Healing Church’s act of mercy that claims to save Yanan.

When Irene gave up the medicine that suppressed her animal nature, she did indeed experience an outbreak of her animal nature.

Binding herself with iron chains, when the terrifying madness passed, Irene was surprised to find that even without the suppression of the medicine, she had never broken through the red line of turning into a beast.

For every lycanthropic patient, he can personally feel that he is constantly slipping from rationality to wildness on the scale of human nature.

However, after leaving Yanan, Irene was surprised to find that the curse had not stopped.In other words, the process of animalization has stopped.

"But this process will still be pushed forward, such as blood..."

Hohenheim spoke.

He knew the entire process of the battle between Irene and Spartacus. After absorbing the blood of Spartacus, Irene began to become more lycanthropic.

"Yes... blood will speed us up into beasts."

"It's just that the blood of the master who defeated and captured me was too special, so that I basically fell into the state of beast without much resistance."

Hohenheim nodded slightly. He may know more about Irene's physical condition than he does himself.The curse on Irene does come from blood.

The main ingredient of the potion made by the Healing Church that Irene mentioned should also be blood.The blood is mixed with some other substance.

According to Eileen, Yanan has a huge demand for that kind of medicine.This means that a large amount of blood is needed every day.

And where does this blood come from?

There is no doubt that it was from the slaves purchased from Yanan from Qiao Ya.

Every year, Yanan purchases a large number of slaves to collect blood. Taking years as the unit, this may be the final deadline for the slaves to survive.

Like the Three Stone City, the establishment of Yharnam also buried countless sins under that city-state.

Moreover, those sins may be more serious and terrifying...

Even the mild-mannered Hohenheim became serious now, feeling angry and sad.

"Master Hohenheim?"

Erin looked at Hohenheim who was deep in thought and asked softly.

"I'm fine..."

Hohenheim shook his head:

"Thank you for your cooperation. I can detect that you are not lying."

Erin showed a wry smile: "After all, I am just a prisoner."

"Besides, the incident you mentioned about Qiao Ya made me feel very uneasy."

Eileen did not think that the battle between Three Stone City and Humanity could attract Yanan's intervention.

After all, according to Yanan's habit, if it is not a direct attack on Yanan, the Healing Church will never pay attention to it.

But now, Yanan's behavior goes against the norm, which reminds Eileen of the blood moon god of the Healing Church who is constantly changing, from abstract to concrete.

When a god really has a concept, really has a form, really has a name, what's the next step?

It is reality, it is the real arrival, the real coming to this material world.

The current actions of the Healing Church may be paving the way for this step.
