The content of the first scroll was the most abundant.
It was a throne made of blades and broken bones. Behind it were long blood-red windows and towering black stone pillars. It looked like a part of the palace. If one's consciousness was fully immersed in it, one could even see the endless city of spires outside the window. Among them, the most eye-catching thing was the half-exposed stone arch. If the steeple next to it was regarded as a residential building in Hermes, then the height of the stone arch was at least higher than that of the five Babel Towers of the Cathedral. This completely defied common sense.
What was even more inconceivable was that it was pitch-black inside the door. Nothing could be seen, as if there was a huge and smooth curtain in the middle. However, if one looked closely, they would find that the darkness seemed to have a depth, and it was impossible to see the bottom … The more they stared at it, the more chills they felt.
Zero's consciousness stayed outside the window for a while and then she focused on the throne.
She did not see the owner of the throne today.
What she saw in her mind was not always the same. For example, sometimes she could see a warrior in armor sitting on the throne. His head was covered by a ferocious black helmet, and only a faint red light could be seen from his eye sockets. But such a scene was rare. Most of the time, the throne was empty.
According to the secret history, the content of this scroll should point to the city where the demons originated, which was the northwest corner of the Land of Dawn where they first appeared.
Zero had the same opinion. After all, the ubiquitous blood-red and black stone minarets were very similar to the living environment of the demons. The helmet of the owner of the throne also had a distinctive demonic style. The only strange thing was that the owner of the throne looked no different from an ordinary person. It was not as strong and terrifying as the Fearsome Demons and Lords of Hell described in the Holy Book. Therefore, there were many speculations about its identity. Some Popes thought it was the source of evil, and some witches thought it was the guardian of the demons. It guarded the secrets of God.
The second scroll was much weirder.
It showed very little content and seemed to be constantly moving. At least in Zero's limited observation, she had never seen the same scene.
This time, she saw water.
The light blue water flowed backward along the three huge skeletons. There was nothing in the middle of the skeletons, but the water seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. If the huge skeletons were the keels supporting the side of the ship, she felt like she was in a cabin and looking out through the porthole. The difference was that these windows almost occupied the whole wall.
Zero was soon attracted by the wonderful scene in front of her. She felt like she was at the boundary between the water and the sky. Half of her body was at the bottom, and the other half was floating on the water. She could see the dazzling sunlight and sparse clouds above her head, while the bottom was surrounded by water. Under the light, she could clearly see the changes in the color of the water, from the light blue on the surface to yellow-green, and then to dark green. The deeper she looked, the darker it became.
Suddenly, the scene moved violently. Zero felt her feet tremble and almost fell to the ground. She subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but at the last moment, she held herself back. These were not real scenes, she told herself, but the revelation of the gods in her mind.
Zero thought. The water was rising rapidly and soon covered the sky.
No, instead of saying the water was rising, it was more like she was sinking.
Soon, the scene outside the window was completely covered by water. She even saw red fish swimming close to the skeletons. At first, there were two or three, and then more and more. The dense shoal of fish was like a red ribbon, wrapping around the invisible barrier. The color of the water gradually changed from dark green to dark black. Finally, the scene disappeared into the pitch-black darkness.
Zero gasped and broke away from the scene. This was the first time she saw such clear information. The moment the darkness covered her sight, she felt suffocated. However, he did not find any useful clues in it. According to the secret history, the content of the second painting was extremely varied. Some people left behind a huge eyeball, some saw a volcano erupting bubbles and yellow smoke, and some people said they saw a bottomless abyss that emitted a dim light. The viewpoints of the previous generations of observers had never been unified.
She rested for a moment and turned her consciousness to the third scroll.
Still, there was nothing there. Just like the world outside the scroll, it was dark and dead silent.
In the secret history, it was mentioned that during the early stages of the first Battle of Divine Will, there was some content in the scroll... However, this part of the record was so old that even the pages had become tattered. Zero could not clearly see what was written on it. However, one thing was certain. After the end of the Battle of Divine Will, the scroll turned black and never showed any content again.
Finally, there was the fourth scroll, which was not recorded in the secret history at all.
Zero found it hard to understand. It seemed that they were hiding something at the same time. This was very strange. If even the Pope, who was the only inheritor of the secret, had no right to know, then this secret would be buried forever and no one would ever know.
The scroll showed a wall.
It was a gray, rough, and inconspicuous stone wall.
Part of the mortar had fallen off, revealing the cracked stone underneath. Obviously, it had been standing there for a long time. There was nothing to be seen but this wall.
After staying in the scroll for a while, Zero felt extremely tired.
Comprehending a deity's revelation was an extremely exhausting task. Even she could not persevere for too long.
Zero opened her eyes and cut off the connection with the magic hemisphere. The vast and endless world of darkness and the huge scroll disappeared in an instant. The small room under the dim light came back to her.
She let out a long sigh, stumbled down the stairs, and returned to the library. She drank the cup of cold black tea in one gulp, and only then did she catch her breath.
Although God did not give her any response, her anger had now calmed down. Isabella did not know anything about God, but she did.
Zero looked out of the window and watched the busy figures under the tower. The feeling of controlling all living beings came back to her. After more than two hundred years of experience, she had thought that there was nothing in this world that was worthy of her attention. However, after becoming the Pope, she realized that her understanding of the world was only superficial. Now, a new secret was placed in front of her, and eternal life was the best capital to pursue this secret.
Zero faintly felt that she was the favored child chosen by God.
