Hearing the words “angel blood,” Luo Mi’s first reaction was: “Your blood? Isn’t it red?”
Anos smiled and shook his head: “It’s not me. I’m an earthly angel, not an angel.”
Luo Mi was confused: “What’s the difference?”
None of the church texts he had studied intensively emphasized the difference between angels walking on earth and the angels who had served God in the past.
Anos pondered for a moment: “There is no distinction in God’s will, but from my experience and feelings, I am currently more like an angel using a human body to manifest the status of an angel. The body is still a human body, and it will feel hunger, pain, and tiredness. But true angels are not human in form. Even if they mimic human appearance, they are just another existence that looks like a human.”
Luo Mi nodded thoughtfully: “Is that… the blood of the angel Divine Wisdom that the Principality of Perde secretly worships?”
“It’s impossible to say for sure.” Anos sighed softly. “Aside from the end of each era, the last time gods and angels descended was in the early part of the Sixth Era. In ‘Records of the Past: The Sixth Era’, the Omega Empire angered the gods, who sent angels to destroy it. This ended the dual empire model that had existed since the Fifth Era, and the original Omega Empire’s territory was divided into principalities of varying sizes.”
Luo Mi thought about it seriously and felt a little confused: “Wasn’t the world destroyed after the end of the era? Can the original empire continue?”
“God accepts the innocent and those who sincerely atone for their sins into paradise, destroys the deeply sinful, and leaves those burdened with sins not strong enough to be destroyed on earth.” Anos first explained it according to the official statement of the Holy See. “At the beginning of each era, these people inherit the memories and knowledge of the previous era and naturally inherit the corresponding organizations and countries.”
He glanced at the mechanical butler, Ark No. 2, who was peeling melon seeds. “For example, the Alpha Empire’s current mechanical technology is inherited from the Sixth Epoch. The Sixth Epoch’s industrial civilization was highly developed, with steelmaking being the mainstream, hence the name Black Iron Age.”
Luo Mi became interested: “What was the name of the previous era?”
“The further back in time we go, the fewer records there are, and we can only glimpse them. The Fifth Era was called the Glorious Age, and it was said to be dominated by electricity and information… But this era ended too early, only lasting about five hundred years, and almost no information remains about it.”
“The Fourth Age is called the Cretaceous Age because chalk was discovered during this age, which led to a significant acceleration in the study of divine arts. Therefore, divine arts and the magic that was still allowed to circulate at the time became the mainstream of this age.”
“The Third Age is known as the Dark Age. The Church was founded in the middle of the Third Age. However, demons roamed the land at that time, and the Church could only rely on divine arts bestowed by God to barely survive. Not many special records remain.”
“During the Second and First Ages, the Church had not yet been established, so only a few traces of saints remain, allowing us to glimpse into the days when gods and angels still walked the earth.”
Luo Mi listened and touched his chin suspiciously: “Why does it sound like there is no order?”
Magic was followed by electricity, and electricity was followed by industry? Did this conform to the laws of civilization development?
Of course, he asked this in his heart.
The sound of turning pages came from the system:
[These are not in the settings…]
“Isn’t this the sentence you say the most?”
[…]
While Luo Mi was thinking about this, Anos had already brought the topic back to the bottle of silver blood: “The divine power in that bottle of blood far exceeds the current limit of what we can achieve. It must be at least an angel, or even a god.”
His expression grew more serious. “If it’s the blood of God, then the problem is serious.”
Luo Mi used his own thoughts to guess: “Because gods cannot be hurt?”
Anos shook his head. “It is said that in the distant First Age, God was betrayed by humans and was once stabbed… Well, that’s not the point. The reason is that such a large amount of divine blood must be a gift from God, and God did not give it to the Church, but instead gave it to the alchemists who were deemed heretics…”
Luo Mi understood: “What is the Holy See going to do?”
“The reappearance of the alchemists is a very serious problem. I have reported it to His Majesty, and the Knights Templar will conduct an investigation together.”
Luo Mi asked perceptively, “Is His Holiness the Pope planning to take this opportunity to reclaim the ecclesiastical authority of the Principality of Perde?”
Anos fell silent for a moment: “Given the agreement we made with the Pietist Faction, Your Majesty shouldn’t go too far.”
He patted Luo Mi’s head and said, “Anyway, after we take care of the affairs of the Principality of Perde in the next few days, we can set off for Xige, the capital of the Alpha Empire. By the way, does the midday blood moon have any effect on you?”
Luo Mi nodded and said, “Yes, yes, my magic power is overflowing again.”
Anos nodded: “Then let’s train again in the next few days.”
Luo Mi sighed quietly: Fortunately, he found a reason.
Anos looked down at Luo Mi’s wrist.
Luo Mi’s left wrist was empty, only on his right wrist there was a bracelet decorated with black feathers and red gems.
Anos stared at it for a moment and said, “I will make a new bracelet for you as soon as possible.”
Luo Mi was stunned for a moment, looked at his left hand, thought about it and decided not to refuse: “Okay. Do you want me to help you clean your feathers?”
Anos smiled, then restrained his smile: “No, I’m going to see His Excellency Maannulla off soon.”
“See him off?”
“After hearing that the Black Wing Lord exploited the widespread panic caused by the Witch Trial during the midday blood moon and created negative emotions, Lord Maannuala was struck.” Anos sighed softly. “He began to doubt what he had previously insisted on and asked the gods to decide his fate.”
“God?” Luo Mi was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, “Your wings?”
Anos’ angel wings were blessed by God – although to Luo Mi it seemed more like a curse – people with sins would be burned by their sins or even die as soon as they see the pure white wings.
The bishop who single-handedly launched the witch trial that harmed civilians wanted to face “God’s blessing” head-on.
If God found him innocent, he could survive and strengthen his will;
But if God thought he was guilty, he would repent in the burning flames and accept God’s punishment.
Luo Mi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
After a long pause, he sighed, “Maybe this is a good thing.”
At least after Bishop Maannuola was “punished” by God, the witch trial will be deemed a sin, and no member of the Church of any faction would dare to do it again.
[Have you forgotten that you were planning to use that bishop to complete the task of sowing seeds in the bishop’s heart?]
“There will be other opportunities in the future.” Luo Mi comforted himself, “Let him stay awake and repent in the flames.”
….
After Anos left, Luo Mi went to ask Reinhardt about the situation of the captured demons.
Forget about others, Luo Mi was still a little concerned about the whereabouts of Susan and Pei Di.
He thought Susan definitely wouldn’t have run away at that time, but Pei Di might have run away. Surprisingly, neither of them was caught.
“But the magic circle that absorbs negative emotions covers the entire Principality of Perde. They would have no way of running away. Are they starving to death in some corner now?” Luo Mi couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
Unfortunately, he tried to find a way but couldn’t find any, so he could only pray for their safety in his heart.
The demons’ physique should be better than that of ordinary people. I hope they can hold on until they recover from their low desire state.
….
Near a farm outside the city of Troon, a beautiful succubus and a vampire sat blankly, watching the leaves drifting by in front of them.
Two pigeons flew over, stood above their heads, and pecked their hair curiously.
Not long after, both of their stomachs growled at the same time.
The succubus slowly raised her head, her eyes calm, and touched her belly: “I think you look delicious.”
The vampire also touched his fangs: “I think you look delicious too.”
Despite saying this, the two of them still sat there motionless, with no intention of tasting each other at all.
After a long while, they both sighed and lay down together: “We are so tired from sitting, let’s take a rest.”
The pigeons above their heads were frightened and flapped their wings and flew up, circling around them twice and then flying away.
….
With nothing else to do, Luo Mi remembered that he had also taken a material management manual and an angel statue from the alchemist’s laboratory.
Because the matter was urgent and it would easily expose the existence of the system space, Luo Mi did not dare to hand it over.
The angel statue was not suitable to be taken out, so Luo Mi took out the booklet and flipped through it first.
The person who wrote this booklet had rather sloppy handwriting, and some of the connected strokes resembled the style of a doctor writing prescriptions. Luo Mi had to work very hard to understand it.
The supplies in the booklet were basically test tubes and various materials. Occasionally there were some more shocking ones, such as “the heart of a 30-day-old baby”, “the right lung of a one-year-old child”, “the eyeballs of a three-year-old child”, etc., which made Luo Mi suddenly imagine the alchemists as biochemical maniacs.
Luo Mi flipped through the pages and found a lot of similar materials, which were full of blood.
“And they’re all children. This is terrifying. No wonder the Church wanted to hunt them down.” Luo Mi found that the experimental materials of this group of terrifying alchemists were all basically children under three years old and couldn’t help but shrink his neck. “At that time, the royal family of the Principality of Perde supported them. How many tragedies did they cause?”
It had to be said that although the Holy See did not leave Luo Mi with a very good impression, in this world, at least the Holy See still played a generally positive role.
Turning over to the back, Luo Mi suddenly let out a soft “eh”.
When materials about infants and young children appeared in the following pages, Luo Mi thought they were some bloody things, but he found out that they were actually “bottles”, “clothes”, “diapers”, etc.
It was as if there was a living baby in this laboratory at that time.
