Chapter 314 The Silent Guardian

It was a very ordinary sound.

It is neither hoarse nor crisp... It is consistent with the impression of St. Peter, giving people a sense of calmness.

But at the moment when the voice sounded.

Those words were like sharp blades and galloping magic bullets, shooting into the hearts of everyone present.

And engraved a deep track on the road of "destiny" they have not yet experienced. If there is no other influence, they will naturally fall into this changed future.

Executives and dignitaries from various countries, saints and gods, and the group of players who have the best relationship with Annan——

But fate is a rut.

As the controller of the Book of Cranes, Annan clearly felt that all those who heard St. Peter's words had an extra line of fate between themselves and themselves.

The newly condensed threads of fate are connected to each other, forming a dense spider web.

Of course, this power is not used to influence the fate of Annan himself.

——Even the power of a saint cannot change Annan's "destiny". Because fate is a rut, Annan has absolute suppression and priority in this field.

In fact, although St. Peter's words were addressed to Annan... But in fact, the fate of all the guests who heard these words and came to the wedding were changed. The overflowing power of truth will also spread out through this, along the network of relationships between people, until it changes the whole world.

With just one sentence, the future of the entire world was instantly reversed.

Even by the standards of a saint, this power is too powerful...

"...Is this why you haven't spoken for more than a hundred and twenty years?"

Annan's tone subconsciously became more respectful.

And this "Silent Man" just returned to silence again, lowering his eyes without saying a word.

His appearance began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally in his early twenties, he became 20 or 30 years old in the blink of an eye, with clear crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and shallow nasolabial folds on his face. The originally clear pupils also began to become cloudy.

He didn't make a statement, didn't argue, or explain. He just nodded slightly to Annan, and then quietly retreated to the corner and sat down. It was as if the scene of him talking just now was just an illusion.

"You guessed it right, Annan."

What Annan didn't expect was that it was the old grandmother standing aside who answered his question.

She sighed softly: "This is why Peter has been silent for a full hundred and twenty years.

"He's accumulating his own strength—the power of 'honesty' that has lasted for 120 years will be used at the most critical moment."

"What does the 'skull of honesty' mean?"

Annan asked in a low voice.

He also knew what happened to the "Silent Man."

One hundred and twenty years ago, when Pope Peter received the Holy Relic, he fell into silence.

For more than a hundred years, he has never spoken, never expressed his position, and never entertained. He never prayed in front of people, and never held any religious activities. Even holidays and his own birthday, no one has ever seen him celebrate in any way.

"He is not a complete 'Speechless', he has become a pure mute."

The old grandmother explained: "In the Purity Hall, and at the Cardinal Council in Bode, he will still make a statement-for example, when his clerk summarizes the content of the meeting and asks him 'do you agree' , he will always briefly answer 'yes' or 'not yet'.

"He can still express his opinion on this matter after listening to it-not how to view this matter, but what they should do. Apart from this, he will not jump to conclusions on everything.

"This is precisely because the power of [honesty] contained in the skull of honesty can easily reverse the past and the future.

"However, there is no second choice for 'honesty'. Even if there is the slightest falsehood, the slightest malice,

It can’t be called honesty—the so-called [honesty], under the requirements of the holy bones, means that his behavior must be true to express his heart under the premise of being loyal to a good heart.

"The holy deed he announced is [I will never tell the truth]. This is also the reason why those foolish people ridiculed him as the 'Silent Saint'..."

The old grandmother said softly: "But in fact, whatever he said, people can only think it is the truth.

"Because for him, there is only one possibility for all the words he utters, and that is [the truth]. Even a lie can come true... the price is his own soul.

"The 'skull' is a part related to the eyes, expression, tongue, teeth, and brain. This holy bone can be activated by igniting his soul, continuously consuming the liquid power of truth accumulated in his brain, and changing the past. The destiny of history and the future. As long as it is not the reality 'in front of your eyes', but the 'past' and 'future' that have not been noticed, they can become real as he wishes.

"It can be said that this is an ability similar to the 'Fourth History Theory'. But the Fourth History Theory describes the history of imaginary numbers—the fourth history, and he can directly enter the fourth history to modify the first paragraph of the first history with the backend.

"This seems to be an omnipotent power that can modify everything. If there is enough power accumulated, it can even be used to obliterate younger gods - gods are creatures that exist in the second history, even if they use the time paradox. It cannot be erased. But [Skull of Honesty] can do it.

"This is also the reason why the honest saints of the first generation realized that they would never be able to become gods. But the head of honesty also has a huge limitation-that is the constraint imposed by the honest saints themselves. That is the saints of this generation, every time When using this ability, you don't know whether you can successfully complete this reversal, nor do you know what the past and future will look like after being reversed by yourself.

"If the reversal is successful, people will not be able to realize that he has lied. But if his stored truth and soul are not enough to complete the reversal, then this distorting history and future will fail.

"But this failure will not cause him to die suddenly. It will cause the part of his past and future that he has reversed to have an irreconcilable error.

"If he said 'The Elven Empire does not exist', then people would no longer be able to dig out any evidence that could prove the existence of the Elven Empire, and everyone who remembered the Elven Empire would forget about it.

"But if people realize through logical means, without relying on direct evidence, that there is something wrong in this blank history...then his words will become exposed lies. There is no need for publicity, as long as someone has a clear awareness If he realized that what he said was a lie and there was evidence, then Peter would die for violating the holy deed.

"Similarly, if the power he has accumulated is not enough to complete this lie, then there will still be some people whose memories cannot be erased, and some records and relics that cannot be erased. The possibility of this lie being discovered and exposed is even greater. .He will be more likely to die for violating the holy deed."

——The moment when St. Peter obtained the [Skull of Honesty].

Peter realized the horror of this power.

He must not use this power at will, because it will cause great chaos. A bad lie is bound to be covered up by more lies... either tell a monstrous lie that cannot be disproved, or never tell a lie.

But Peter believes that using this power to modify the past should require more effort than changing the future.

Then, if he wants to use this power to do something, it is to erase a certain mistake or guide a certain future at an important juncture related to the survival of the world.

Even if the power he has accumulated is not enough to completely and thoroughly complete this lie... But as long as he completes part of it, he will be relieved.

— that was something only he could do.

Because of this, he made up his mind: never use the holy bones unless necessary.

Not only that...he must also ensure his own survival. Because he didn't know what kind of dilapidated world would become if this holy skeleton fell into the hands of evil people.

It can even be said that as long as this holy skeleton is not used by people to do evil, he is already guarding the world.

Therefore, even though he was insulted and ridiculed by people, Peter never thought of defending himself.

He didn't think of proving anything for himself, let alone explaining it... Only a very small number of ancient people knew what he was carrying.

Even as a righteous god, the old grandmother respected St. Peter's perseverance.

"Silent" doesn't just mean dumb. This is different from the result of the monk's "swear of silence".

Woo woo ya ya, gesticulating, using some secret code or simply writing down words are actually no different from speaking.

If you really want to ensure that you "never speak untrue words" to store the power of the law of causality, you must not even have any "polite" greetings, wishes, or nostalgia.

This means that he is completely cut off from human society.

Peter waited a full hundred and twenty years for this moment, to say such a sentence here.

One hundred and twenty years of solitude.

It is not simply being in a place where there is no one.

But living in the middle of the city, high above the parliament... When everyone is looking at him, everyone can touch him, and he can see everything, hear everything, and experience everything, he still wants to Choose silence that has no reason and will never be explained.

He has no relatives, no friends, no lover, no children, not even a reliable successor who can undertake this mission.

The grandsons of old friends are old and dead. To him, this world is no longer familiar——

But he is still guarding the world, even if no one can understand him.

Even if no one will ever "reverse the case" for him... because the next generation of honest saints will still keep the secret.

The ability of this almost omnipotent wish machine must never be known to mortals.

Because in this world, almost everyone has "regrets". Everyone hopes that something in the past "doesn't happen", but even if he burns the soul of the honest saint, he can't change all "personal tragedies", he doesn't have that kind of power at all.

He also didn't know whether erasing a certain nail at a certain time in the past would lead to the demise of a certain empire. Even the best prophet wizard can't bet that he can grasp the mystery of time clearly.

So the best thing to do... is to change nothing until the real, irreversible disaster strikes.

It's like a complex machine that no one fully understands.

If it still works, don't try to fix it. Because no one knows whether it will deteriorate even more after it has been repaired.

And fate is the most complicated machine.

As long as he doesn't change anything and doesn't say anything, he is already protecting the world.

At this moment, Annan raised his head and looked at the aging Peter.

Peter just sat down and looked up. Then he saw Annan who was looking over.

The two saints looked at each other without even nodding, and then politely separated their eyes.

But the corners of their mouths are slightly raised.

At the same time, they realized that the other party had understood their thoughts:

——I have done my best, and the rest will be left to you.

--as you wish.

I will bring back real hope.

Annan was startled for a while.

Then he clapped his hands, drawing attention away from the Silent Man and to himself.

"Everyone, my wedding with Cafney is about to begin."

Annan made a gentle voice: "Dear guests, you may as well take your seats."
