A certain sword soul's infinite journey

"...Le Havre?!"

Ellison felt as if he had been hit hard, and stood frozen on the street like a sculpture. The previous intermittent memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and countless clearer pictures were constantly combined and assembled in his mind.

Among them, there is a scene of being caught by a priest in white and flying, a scene of flying rapidly in the air, and a scene of coma at high altitude due to lack of oxygen, and the scene of waking up dizzy to guide the priest...

Oh, God!There are actually people in this world who can really fly!

Ellison stood sluggishly on the ground, and there was an indescribable uproar in his heart.

But after the sluggishness passed, a strong sense of helplessness and bitterness emerged in Ellison's heart—his words "lead the way" meant that he could help find a boat bound for Le Havre, not that he really wanted to come with the priest To Le Havre!

...By the way, where is the priest?

Ellison shook his head quickly, his eyes quickly swept around.

It's a pity that the white-clothed priest has already appeared in the urban area more than a dozen streets away from Ellison. No matter how wide Ellison's eyes are, it is absolutely impossible to find him.

Lin Mo whispered: "Brother, should we just leave it alone?"

"Why, are you still worried about his life?"

"of course not!"

Lin Mo shook his head. He still remembered Ellison's rude words before, so how could he be worried about this mortal who offended his brother.

"I mean, do you want to arrange some bad luck for him, such as planting him for theft, robbery, or attempting to rape the city lord's daughter, so that he will die in prison after being wronged..."

"..."

The muscles at the corners of Lin Yi's eyes twitched slightly. Unexpectedly, Lin Mo would come up with so many dirty ideas without a teacher. He quickly shook his head and refused: "It's not possible, believe me, to punish a mortal in the feudal era. It is enough for him to wander alone in a foreign country for the rest of his life!"

"is it?"

Lin Mo frowned: "But why do I think this guy will adapt to this kind of life?"

...then you guessed it right!

Lin Yi smiled slightly, and added silently in his heart.

Allison would certainly be fine with this kind of life, because his full name, Allison Columbus...

That's right, Grandpa Ellison's grandfather was the famous Italian explorer, navigator, and one of the protagonists of the Age of Discovery, Christopher Columbus!

It was only after Lin Yi opened Jianxin that he got the news from the hearts of everyone in the tavern.

So he thought, instead of letting this homeless, prodigal young man with both parents dead, spend his family's wealth drunk and squandering his family's wealth every day in a tavern, it would be better for him to go out and make a fortune, which would be worthy of his great-great-grandfather's great name.

As for why the descendants of Columbus fell into Ellison's situation, Lin Yi didn't know, let alone cared. The decadent young man who saved his life came to Le Havre and arranged for him an instant trip.

Because it was a temporary idea, Lin Yi didn't make too much preparation. He just stuffed Ellison with a few silver coins, an old "Bible", and a cross necklace that could withstand three fatal injuries.

For the rest, it's up to Ellison to make his own way.

Ellison has a rough nerve that is suitable for adventure. Coupled with Lin Yi's gift and Columbus's surname, it is not difficult to make a name for himself.

Compared with it, the most difficult thing is the step out of the house...

As for the so-called offense that Lin Mo had been brooding on, Lin Yi actually didn't take it to heart.

But seeing his hesitant expression, Lin Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Leave him alone, go to the city with me first to inquire about the news!"

"..."

Lin Mo nodded, and the two immediately split up, inquiring about the miracle of the Seine River in taverns, churches and other places in the city in the attire of a priest.

……

Half an hour later, Lin Yi and Lin Mo met again at the place where they separated before, and the two sides exchanged information.

During this half hour, the two not only asked the dock workers and explorers in the tavern, but also found several survivors of the Seine River miracle incident, and asked them for first-hand information about the incident at that time.

The final result also made Lin Yi very happy.

The Miracle on the Seine really did happen!

It's just that whether the god who performed the miracle is the so-called goddess of the Seine or the Archangel Gabriel, Lin Yi needs to investigate further by himself.

In fact, both outcomes are very likely.

The former is because the Seine River is of great significance to France and Europe, and it is not incomprehensible that the river god will be born.

The latter is because Gabriel has mastered water among the four elements, manipulating sea water to save mortals is just a small matter of waving his hands to him, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Soon, Lin and Yi arrived at the pier of Le Havre non-stop, followed the route drawn by the survivors to find the location of the accident, and Dang even saw a hidden reef.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and floated in the air, stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers, releasing his vast perception.

In an instant, a heavy atmosphere as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top filled the air, the air became heavier and harder to breathe, the blue sea water boiled up, and countless crystal water droplets broke away from the sea surface, floating on the sea surface in a way that violated the universal gravitation. .

After about ten seconds, the boiling sea suddenly calmed down.

A broken three-masted ship slowly emerged from the water. The masts and sails of the sunken ship had been broken, the deck was soaked and rotted by sea water, and there was a shocking hole in the bottom of the ship, which was obviously the culprit of the crash.

As the sunken ship slowly floated up, the sea water receded gradually, and countless fresh fish and shrimps were left on the deck and cabin, struggling and jumping desperately at this moment.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, waved his right hand lightly, manipulated the gravitational field to sweep the fish and shrimp off the deck, and then fell down together with the little black cat beside him who had turned back into its original body.

"Well, there is indeed a remnant of power on this sunken ship, but it seems that the breath is not authority or divine power, but... holy light?"

Lin Yi's complexion gradually became strange.

Could it really be the blazing angel Gabriel?

No, not possible!

Although these holy lights are very pure, they are very weak in terms of power level.

Even if the Gabriel in this world is not as powerful as Lucifer, he is at least a powerhouse at the level of Zeus. How could he drive such a weak holy light?

Lin Yi frowned, his body turned into silver light and floated up, allowing the broken sailboat to sink into the sea, and at the same time let go of his own perception again, tracing the source of the residual holy light.

It didn't take long for Lin Yi to go retrograde all the way from the mouth of the sea until he flew to the middle of the Seine River, where he finally felt a more intense holy light.

right here!

Looking at the turbulent river below, Lin Yi couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and took the initiative to release his own holy light to show kindness, and then said with a chuckle: "There is a visitor, won't the master come out to meet you?"

Chapter 652 Joan of Arc

Lin Yi's voice echoed on the river, and there was no response for a long time.

The little black cat frowned, and raised a small black paw to aim at the river below, intending to teach this impolite guy a profound lesson.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Lin Yi shook his head, stopping the little black cat's frizzy movements.

The little black cat curled its lips in displeasure, but obediently put away its little paws, resumed its upright sitting posture, squatted on Lin Yi's shoulder and waited with him for the response from below.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, when the afterglow of the setting sun was about to be swallowed by the horizon, a ray of pale golden holy light floated out from the clear river water, drifting slowly with the evening wind like a soft feather.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and took that ray of holy light into his palm with authority.

Feeling the pure but weak power in the holy light, Lin Yi secretly said in his heart that it was true.

It's not that this person doesn't want to show up, but because his body is too weak, he can't show up. He can only slowly recover his strength over time, and barely condenses a ray of holy light to send a message to himself.

Lin Yi had guessed similarly when he felt the faint holy light on the shipwreck, so he also wanted to help after finding this person's hiding place.

It's a pity that Lin Yi really couldn't find the location of this person.

Because in his perception, this person is almost everywhere, and the aura of holy light on his body almost covers the entire middle channel of the Seine River, looking like... like the incarnation of the Seine River!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi began to gradually lean towards the guess that this person is the God of the Seine River.

But why would a naturally conceived river god use the unique holy light of heaven?

Could it be that he also converted to God like some other godliness?

Lin Yi was full of doubts, and pressed this ray of holy light between his eyebrows.

In an instant, pure holy light entered Lin Yi's forehead, and messages flooded into his mind.

The little black cat opened a pair of big ice blue eyes and looked at Lin Yi's side face without blinking, waiting for him to read the information and share the information with himself.

It didn't take long for Lin Yi to digest the message contained in the holy light, so he slowly opened his eyes, and a strange expression appeared on Jun's face.

"Brother! What's the matter? What did he tell you?"

"……nothing."

Lin Yi shook his head, and said with a strange expression: "She just admitted the previous Seine River miracle incident, and introduced her identity to me by the way..."

"she?"

"Ah."

"..."

The little black cat's eyes widened: "So she is really the rumored river goddess?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "No."

"Ah?" The little black cat was stunned again, and when he came back to his senses, his face was full of surprise, "That's Gabriel? But isn't Gabriel a male angel? How could he become a woman?"

"Look, this is the result of not studying well! Who told you that Gabriel must be a man? In many Christian doctrines, Gabriel's female identity has been hinted at in words. Christian scholars believe that Gabriel is the only female among the angels, so it is not surprising that Gabriel really came into the world as a woman!"

Lin Yi glared at the little black cat with hatred, and defended himself with his instinct.

Then, Lin Yi suddenly changed the topic: "However, the one in the Seine is not Gabriel."

"……what?"

The little black cat was still covering its ears resentfully. Hearing these words, he quickly stood up and stared at Lin Riddler Yi with wide eyes, his eyes full of doubt and curiosity.

"It's not the goddess of the river, and it's not Gabriel, so who is she?"

"..."

Lin Yi sighed, and took out a brick-thick book with his right hand. Using gravity to control the book to turn the pages quickly, he soon stopped on an old and yellowed page.

The little black cat leaned over curiously, only to see a very famous quotation written on it.

"Ask: Do you feel that you are in the grace of the Lord?"

"Answer: If I have not received the Lord's grace, I hope the Lord will give it to me; if I have received the Lord's grace, I hope the Lord will still give it to me."

This is a very insidious question, because in the church at this time, there is a dogma that 'no one can be sure that he has received the grace of God'.

If anyone answers this question in the affirmative, he proves to be a heretic who defies dogma, and if anyone answers in the negative, he admits the fact of his guilt.

Generally speaking, only a wise man with a considerable level of knowledge can make such a water-tight answer to this question.

But in fact, this sentence came not from a well-read wise man, but from a rural girl who had never received an education and could not even read a word.

This illiterate rural girl is the famous Joan of Arc in French history!

That's right, the so-called river god who rescued a whole ship at the mouth of the Seine River and who was able to manipulate the holy light to perform miracles was Joan of Arc who had died for more than 200 years!

Lin Yi looked at the river under his feet with complicated eyes, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

He is very familiar with the deeds of Joan of Arc. This rural girl who was illiterate at first claimed that she had received a "revelation from the Lord" at the age of 13, telling her to drive away the English and lead the crown prince to Reims Coronation.

Naturally, the high-level French at the time did not believe it. It was not until the several prophetic battle reports made by Joan of Arc were confirmed that they gradually paid attention to this illiterate girl from the countryside.

After several twists and turns, Joan of Arc finally gained military power in 1429, and successfully lifted the siege of Orleans in early May of the same year, and then defeated the British army many times, and crowned Prince Charles, Charles VII.

But in 1430, Joan of Arc was captured by the Duchy of Burgundy during a conflict at Compiègne, and was soon bought by the English with a lot of money. The Inquisition under the control of the English authorities tried her for heresy and witchcraft.

The classic question-and-answer quote just now was born in this unfair trial.

Under the unjust coercion of the court, Joan signed a public renunciation that she could not understand at all, admitted the 12 unfounded charges summarized by the court, and was sentenced to death on May 1431, 5. Burned at the stake, only 30 years old when he died.

After Joan of Arc was tortured and died, the English were worried that someone would collect her ashes, so they burned her scorched black bones again, and did not extinguish the flame until they were burned to ashes, and scattered all the ashes into the Seine River... …

That's right, the reason why Lin Yi felt that Joan of Arc was everywhere was not because she was the incarnation of the Seine River, but because the body in front of her was literally everywhere in the Seine River!

Lin Yi looked at the river with a complicated expression, and let go of his perception again to cover the river bed.

This time, he finally found some ash particles in the sediment tens of meters deep at the bottom of the river.
