Storm of Gods

Chapter 236 Isaac's Life Notes
"Brother Li, Brother Li, cough cough, it's over." Simmons patted Li Xin, who was still shaking his head, "The Grand Bishop has arrived."

Li Xin quickly stood up, his face full of piety. "Your Excellency, I was too engrossed in my role just now. I'm sorry."

Walner smiled kindly and looked at Li Xin. "You can even fall asleep while praying, huh?"

Li Xin blushed when he was exposed, and Simmons, Didia, and Celia were also embarrassed. Travis, however, remained calm and acted as if he hadn't heard anything. The Grand Master smiled, lowered his head, and whispered, "Actually, I used to be like this too, otherwise I would have changed the color of my clothes long ago."

“Father, when will you take us to see that notebook?” Celia asked. “With that notebook, we can catch the real culprit!”

Seeing Celia's excited expression, Volner still had to pour some cold water on her enthusiasm, "Although Sealed Artifact 179 itself doesn't have much power, its contents are full of taboos. Celia, you shouldn't look at it. At most, you can participate in the discussion."

“Father…” Sedilia was reluctant and prepared to use her charm to persuade him, “Let me participate. What do those rough men know? There are some details that only girls can notice.”

“Miss Sedilia, please stop fooling around. Everyone is busy with important matters. Doesn’t your George family know any rules?” Didia said seriously with a stern face.

"Didia, what are you doing here, a defeated opponent like you?" Celia said with a mocking expression.

Didia's face was very ugly. "Don't talk nonsense. It was only a draw last time. Don't act recklessly just because Your Highness is here. Captain Travis, I personally strongly oppose her making trouble here."

Metropolitan Volner's expression was unreadable. Didia's arrival was a bit strange, but even Simmons and Celia's godfather wouldn't help at this time. It wasn't out of fear of the Nasser family, but rather because it was unwise to bully the weak. Adults shouldn't get involved in children's squabbles.

“Didia, you can quit now if you want. If it weren’t for His Highness the Prince, do you think I would want to be with you, the murderer’s brother? Letting you participate is to give you a chance to atone for your sins, not for you to boss people around!” Simmons said coldly. “Also, you’d better keep your mouth shut. My sister doesn’t need anyone else to say anything, and you are even less worthy!”

"Ahem, gentlemen, calm down. We can sit down and discuss this calmly..." Travis had to smooth things over. What was going on? Everything was fine just now, and suddenly they lit a powder keg. Nobles really can't be relied on.

Didia clenched his fists and stared intently at Simmons, looking ready to strike at any moment; the veins on his neck were bulging. "I'm out!"

After bowing to the Metropolitan, she turned and left angrily, while Celia made a gloating face, "The eyesore is finally gone!"

“Why are you two still acting like children? Didia is a pretty good person,” Walner said gently.

“Father, I just can’t stand him. He’s fine when he doesn’t speak, but the moment he does, it’s always something to criticize. His Highness put Li Xin in charge of this matter, not him. He always wants to be the boss.” Celia said, pouting as she clung to the Metropolitan’s arm, her face full of arrogance. He dared to criticize her in front of her own godfather.

“Father, for a team to be effective, it must first be united. His Highness the Prince wants us to resolve our differences, but unfortunately we are not on the same page, so let’s not force it,” Simmons said.

Walner smiled indifferently. "You can handle it yourselves. Come with me, Travis, you come too." "Yes, sir." In front of the metropolitan, Travis, a squad leader, was absolutely respectful.

Upon entering the church, several clergymen carried a huge box. Werner pointed to it and said, "These are the notes you wanted."

With Volner's tacit approval, the clergy in charge of sealing the artifact began to open the box, which was sealed with a special incantation. Then, three keys were needed, layer by layer, until finally Isaac's Homunculus Notebook appeared before everyone.

Simmons and Celia, who were initially full of curiosity, were now somewhat bewildered. What was this?
The box was full of notes, not only numerous but also disorganized. The top page was covered with dense symbols and diagrams. The two were puzzled. Shouldn't notes be small notebooks? What on earth is this?

“These are just the final notes. Isaac’s experiment produced several times more. They’re all in Hera, combined with spell arrays and some incomprehensible diagrams. You can study them here if you want. These are the guardians of the Vatican Library; they will be here with you the whole time to assist you,” Volner said gently. “It’s fine to look, but keep your mind clear. Although we haven’t found any obvious corrupting power in the notes, they are still sealed artifacts. Be careful, and if you find anything amiss, tell me immediately.”

“Don’t worry, Father, this is a church, and with you here, we have nothing to fear,” Celia said, eager to speak.

The five clergy did not disturb them, but stood at a distance and waited quietly. Werner did not stay there; it would take a long time just to look through these things, let alone find clues.

Travis looked at the three of them. Celia picked up a book and started flipping through it. She wanted to read the story. Notebooks, under normal circumstances, would record the researchers' thoughts. Surely, she could find some clues in those thoughts. However, the notebook she picked up was full of things she couldn't understand. She was very good at Hera language. She considered herself to be very talented in languages. She knew every sentence individually, so why couldn't she understand it when they were put together?

The two went through one notebook after another, only to find that they were all the same. Li Xin was also looking at one, and it was similar to what he had expected. It was Isaac's experimental notes, very professional, with various structural diagrams in great detail, densely packed with arrays and incantations, as well as some human anatomy and life-related incantations. This... was completely incomprehensible.

There are occasionally some circles or dots inside, which probably indicate that there are still questions, but there is almost no content to complain about or express emotions.

The three of them flipped through many books, trying to find some clues. Judging from the contents, they were all very detailed information.

"Captain Travis, aren't you going to take a look?" Simmons gave up, feeling that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find any clues.

Travis spread his hands. "We've looked at it over and over again over the past two years, but we haven't found any clues. It's just Isaac's research process."

The Undertaker and the Visceral Demon had already reached this point and were locked in a life-or-death struggle. Isaac's experimental notes were a possibility, so how could they not search for them thoroughly? Unfortunately, it was useless; no one in the Vatican could understand such things.

Li Xin couldn't quite understand it either. He could see the other person's focus and professionalism from the notes. There were very few descriptions of mood and progress, but they weren't absent. Li Xin slowly flipped through them. They mainly described the various parts of the human body. It was mentioned that the soul was not essential. These were taboos of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess. Not to mention here, the Vatican would not allow it anywhere.
