The bishop saw the heart drooping his head abruptly and fell silent, he glanced carefully at the expression of the heart, and was stunned abruptly.
There was nothing on Hongtao’s face, no sorrow, no joy, no anger, no fear, and there was no trace of light in those purple eyes that were originally flowing. The crack in the rock, the cool and moist wind blowing on his dry face, made him blink, and then smiled lightly.
Then he shed tears.
The bishop was stunned, because of surprise, he stopped talking: "You, are you crying?"
Having been on this island for so long, the bishop has seen thousands of women crying on this island, but he has never seen the tears of Hearts, even the night that Hearts came to the island when he was twelve years old.
All the men who have ordered hearts complained that they would not cry no matter how much they tossed about. The face is so beautiful and the eyes are so squiggly. They cry with style, why not cry
Later, the tears of Red Tao and his beauty have become a legendary existence on this island. There are always men on the island who get drunk and ask Red Tao with obsessive eyes, why don't you cry? I have to give my life before you are willing to cry for me
Hongtao just raised her eyes lazily and smiled: "Tears are a sign of pain."
"When I cry, the pain I turn over will be less. For the god I believe in, I won't shed a tear for you ordinary people."
"You are not worth it."
"Am I crying?" Red Tao asked suddenly, "So I was crying?"
"I thought it was the rain from the crevice outside the island, and the water falling on my face."
"... The gap? There is no gap where the wind can blow in..." The bishop followed the eyes of Hearts and looked over, and then he had a look, "Is that a gap?"
"Look more carefully, Heart. That crack is not a crack in the rock, it is a crack in the door."
With the bishop’s reminder, the rock gap instantly turned into a gap where the silver-blue door was slightly opened, and there were endless silver-blue brilliance and stars flowing in it. The rock crevice that Red Tao just saw was like an illusion. .
The bishop looked at Hearts: "This is the second organ of this prison, and it is also the secret of the island's ability to float in the air."
"The reason why the city in the sky never falls and floats in the sky is that it relies on the wind blowing from the gap at the bottom of this island."
"This gap is left by the gentleman. He said that this gap is a gap in the door he left behind specially. The other end of the door leads to the abyss and sin. He told us not to look directly at the silver and blue behind the gap. The ray of light, this will allow people who are looking directly to see the psychedelic scene, and the object on the opposite side of the door will slowly suck us into the other side of the door, and then we will never be able to come out again."
"This is a rift that cannot be seen and cannot be spoken. We purposely built the Sky Prison on the opposite side of the crevice. You must go through this crevice if you want to leave, plus the male eel pond, no one can successfully get out from below."
The bishop condescendingly pronounced on Hearts: "Don't struggle, you will be trapped on this island for the rest of your life."
After the bishop who was in charge of imprisoning hearts came out from the bottom of the prison, he quickly received a call from the pope. He respectfully answered the call, and the pope asked heavily: "Did you lock him up?" "
"Closed." The bishop's tone was respectful, "Hang him for two days first. After he is weak, we will interrogate him carefully, and we must ask him clearly how he learned these witchcraft."
"Yeah." The pope was silent for a moment. "You don't have to be too harsh on him. May God protect us all."
Turning the words of the pope, he asked: "... when he was at the bottom of the prison, looking straight at the gap, what did he see?"
Hearts is not the first prisoner in the Sky Island to be imprisoned. In addition to the tight confinement of this prison, because the gap has the effect of confusing people and allowing people to see the most lustful things in their hearts, it is equivalent to a test. Liar and Veritaserum are also very effective in interrogating prisoners.
All you need to do is to put the prisoner in, and when the prisoner looks up and sees the crack, he says what he saw, you can know what the prisoner is thinking, no matter how stubborn it is, even the high-level fraud that he has deceived. Teacher, in the face of this rift, I also have to face my inner desires and reality.
The bishop was not surprised when the Pope asked about this, because Hearts did not kill today and everyone was surprised. They were all waiting for the results of Hearts interrogation after seeing the rift.
But this result is obviously no way to satisfy everyone.
"Heart... I saw a rift on the island." The bishop replied hesitantly. "He said that he was driving out of the rift and saw it raining outside the island."
"The gap will not deceive us." The pope was silent for a long time, and he slowly repeated the words of the bishop. "So what the queen desires in her heart is... a rift on an island that is raining?"
Papal Palace, main hall.
The pope and Phoebe and the bishop who brought Phoebe face to face. His aging face and his eyes are muddy, and with a slightly trembling tone, he is not like a high-powered pope, but like an ordinary old man about to decay into the earth.
"I ordered the cardinal to detain the person who attacked me at the bottom of the Sky City, where it is absolutely impossible for him to escape."
"But this is enough to alert us."
The pope's muddy eyes suddenly sharpened, and his tone fell abruptly: "The island of the sky! This pure land belonging to me and the gods can actually have the power of a witch to go up!"
He raised his heavy scepter and slammed the ground heavily, causing the ground to shake, and angrily reprimanded: "You who guard the ground are so dereliction of duty that you have allowed the witch to climb the ladder and make the only human being. Noah’s Ark is contaminated by the spreading evil!"
"Twenty-one cardinals have died, and even I was threatened." The pope shook his head painfully. "These are the witch trials and the meritorious ministers who have tried countless witches. They actually died in the Holy See. What do you make the people think about us in the divided safe zone? If the news spreads, wouldn't the prestige that the Holy See has managed to build up overnight is swept away?"
"We are invincible even to a group of mobs led by the captain of the Saintess patrol who defected from the Holy See. We also said to clean up all the witches!" The pope shook his scepter to the ground, "the one who guarded the island ladder Where is the captain of the guard? Severe punishment!"
The bishop who led Phoebe in shook his shoulder and reported very quietly: "My Lord Pope, we have strictly blocked the news and we should not be able to spread it."
"And the ladder..." The bishop paused. He raised his head slightly, looked at the scepter that is so heavy in the pope's hand, swallowed a spit, and reminded in a low voice, "Pope, you have forgotten Is it? You alone can open the ladder."
Phoebe, who had been keeping her head down, also raised her head at this moment. She followed the gaze of the bishop next to her, looked at the scepter in the pope's hand, and then raised her eyebrows.
The scepter looks simple and heavy, like it is carved from an extremely old ancient wood. Its surface is uneven, and it is an octopus tentacles embracing upwards. At the top, it should be a huge octopus head. The magical thing is that this gem is not engraved, but suspended on a scepter. The gem is the size of an adult's fist and is not transparent, but a little turbid. You can see some cotton-like debris inside. But none of this is the first reason why this uniquely shaped scepter is eye-catching.
The center of this gem is slightly pierced with a layer of silver-blue light, with the scepter shape of the antennae, and the floating gem head, which looks like a comb jelly glowing in the ocean.
The bishop carefully raised his hand to signal the pope to look at the scepter in his hand: "Pope, the ladder to the island can only be opened with the scepter in his hand."
"You begged the gentleman who sold the island to you, saying that you hope this floating island, that is, the city in the sky, will have good secrecy, so that only people who you want to go up can go up, and those who don't want to go up can't. Go up, you want this island to be your home, and only you have the key to boarding this island."
"That gentleman agreed to your request and really gave you a key to the Sky City."
"He wrapped a small section of the fissure with a gem, so that the light from the fissure became gentle and safe, and it wouldn’t happen if you looked directly at it. Then he put the gem on your scepter and gave it to you. As the key to the island, the cracks in the gems are the same as the cracks in your gems, so only the scepter in your hand can open the ladder on the island, regardless of whether the captain of the guard guards the ladder, as long as you hold the ladder The scepter is still there, and the key to open the island is still there. It is impossible for any witch to go to the island to pollute it."
The pope looked at the jewel on the scepter and fell silent.
After a long, long time, the pope said: "You are right, as long as the scepter is in my hand, no one can go to the island."
The bishop who thought he was going to be severely punished let out a sigh of relief.
"The fissure covered by the scepter gem that the gentleman gave me..." The pope fell into the memory, and he whispered in a daze, "has very strong power, a short fissure less than one meter at the bottom of the island, just Can hold an island floating for more than ten years without sinking, so dangerous and sharp gap, the gentleman can easily wrap it into a safe gem, and easily gift it to me as a key."
"I used to be curious about the material of this gem. Like the sceptre in my hand, I used a lot of extremely hard materials to try to cover the gap at the bottom of the island. I tried all the gems in the world, and none of them. It can resist the strength of the fissure, but in the blink of an eye, it disappears in smoke."
"Finally, I really couldn't help my curiosity. I asked the gentleman what kind of gems and materials can cover and fill the crevices under the island."
"The gentleman smiled and told me that there is no gem or material in this world that can fill the gap leading to the abyss."
"I asked him, holding the scepter, what is this gem in my hand?"
The pope paused, he said in a daze, "The gentleman answered with a smile"
"It's the condensed heart of a painful soul."
"Only the jewel that a painful soul condenses after leaving the body can close the door to desire and the abyss."
