After listening to Isabella's description of the Soul Battlefield, Nightingale's heart gradually sank to the bottom. "You mean, you don't know how to wake His Majesty up?"
She shook her head. "There's no precedent for this, so I really can't solve it... However, when Zero swallowed Garcia, he was in a trance for a while. At that time, she explained that she found something interesting in Zero's memory, so it took a lot of effort. Zero's life is more complicated than anyone else's, so I guess it will take longer for Roland to accept this part of the memory. But as long as he's still alive, he should wake up naturally. "
Nightingale could not judge whether the content was true or not, but she could tell that Isabella was not lying. At least, these guesses were from the bottom of the Pure Witch's heart.
But she also knew that the situation was not optimistic at all.
Between the memory of serving the church for more than 200 years and His Majesty's 20 years as a prince, which one would become the dominant one? Would Roland be lost in the complicated memory and never wake up?
To say the least, if he really accepted all of Zero's memory and woke up, would he still be Roland Wimbledon, Prince Roland of Graycastle... and the person she longed for?
Nightingale could hardly control her state of mind due to the turbulent thoughts.
At this moment, she also understood why Vendy had asked Agatha to come with her.
"Let's talk about the church," Agatha said after a moment of silence. "How much do you know about the predecessor of the church, the Union?"
"I basically know everything that Zero knows," Isabella replied cooperatively. "Do you still doubt the content of those letters? Since Zero took over the position of Pope, all Pure Witches recognized by the Pivotal Secret Agency can enter the library and read the covered history of 400 years ago. The records about the Witch Empire and the demons in the letters are all true. "
"If it's just the information in the letters, it's of no value to us." Agatha smiled slightly. "The Witch Empire is history in your eyes, but in my eyes, it's part of life. I'm a witch of the Union. "
This time, it was Isabella's turn to be surprised. "What … did you say?"
"I came from the Holy City of Taquila more than four hundred years ago. I witnessed the destruction of the Holy City with my own eyes. The Devils are not rare, they still occupy most of the land of Dawn Territory. There is a Devil's Town west of Graycastle in the Concealing Forest and at the end of the Redwater River. Roland has already fought with them. "
The Pure Witch stood rooted to the ground, speechless for a long time.
"It's only a matter of time before we start a war with the demons. We all know that the Battle of Divine Will is coming soon. If it weren't for the church's insistence, Roland wouldn't have chosen this decisive battle to get rid of future troubles." Agatha paused. "What I want to know is, how did the Union transform into a church?"
"Well …" After a while, Isabella came to her senses. "The history books mentioned that during the escape, a civil war broke out in the northwest side of the Impassable Mountain Range. The cause of the war wasn't mentioned in detail, but it was known that the Union was split into two groups. One group was led by the Taquila witches and entered the maze ruins in the mountains. The other group was led by the witches of Starfall City. They inherited the will of Lady Alice and continued to move north. They settled under the Hermes Plateau and became the current church. "
"A civil war during the escape?" Agatha frowned. "That's suicide."
"The writer of the history books also thought so. The Union suffered heavy losses in the civil war. Not only did they lose two Transcendents, but they were also completely separated from the migration team composed of mortals. By the time the northward group arrived at their destination, most of the mortals had already fled." Isabella sighed. "As for the subsequent War of Faith, it was just to hunt and kill those non-combat witches who didn't belong to Starfall City. Only in this way could the church bury the past completely."
"Bury the past to make it easier to hunt witches and create a mindless God's Punishment Army?" Nightingale said coldly. "You're all crazy."
"If it weren't for this civil war, the Four Kingdoms wouldn't have broken away from the Union's control in the first place, and the number of God's Punishment Army would be far more than what it is now," Isabella said calmly. "Of course, now that Roland Wimbledon has a better idea, the Holy City of Hermes naturally doesn't need to exist anymore."
"You don't seem to have any nostalgia for the church," Nightingale said sarcastically.
"As long as we can defeat the demons, I don't care who's in charge of the continent. This is also the original intention of the Union." She closed her eyes. "Although Zero is very crazy, her belief in fighting against the demons is stronger than most people's. This is also the reason why I chose to help her this time."
Hearing this, Nightingale could not help but pull out her dagger.
"If killing her can wake up Roland, I'll never stop you," Agatha said softly.
After a while, she reluctantly sheathed the dagger.
"By the way, there's one more thing I have to tell you." Just as the two were about to leave, Isabella suddenly said, "Although Zero allows the Pure Ones to enter the temple to read the books in the library, no one is allowed to go to the Prayer Room on the top floor, not even close. She only told me that by standing there, she could face God directly. "
...
Walking out of the "prison room", Nightingale hit the wall hard. "... Damn it! In the end, we still can't find a way to wake His Majesty up! "
"We've done all we can, so we can only continue to wait," Agatha comforted her. "Anyway, let's first report the news we've received."
"She'll pay for this, I promise!"
"As long as we don't kill her, she's still very useful to us... whether it's against the Holy City or to explore the secret of the God's Stone."
Soon, the witches gathered outside the bedroom and began to listen to Agatha's retelling of the information about the Pure Witches. However, Nightingale's mind was already elsewhere.
She quietly retreated to the corner, unfolded the Mist, and went into Roland's bedroom.
In the quiet room, Anna was the only one left besides her.
Nightingale slowly walked to the bedside and saw Anna holding Roland's right hand and whispering something.
She had to hold her breath in order to hear the whispers of the other party.
"Do you remember what I said to you..."
"If you die, I'll take those who are willing to follow you to Sleeping Island and fight against the church to the end. "
"But you're still alive. "
"You're just sleeping. "
"So I'll keep waiting. "
"Whether it's for a day, a year, or a lifetime, as long as you're still breathing, I'll always be by your side. "
"Rest in peace. "
"I'll take good care of you. "
Nightingale felt her heart tighten. This kind of heart-wrenching pain was even more unbearable than a physical injury. She couldn't help but bend down and tightly cover her chest.
